Twelfth-Grade Perfect Three Flowers, Tongtian Was Numb!

When the flowers bloomed to the ninth grade, the meaning behind it was simply too astonishing!

Even Tongtian Cult Leader, transformed from one of Pangu's Three Pure Ones and a supreme innate divine being, had only achieved Nine-Grade Three Flowers when he attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao!

Yet now, Zhao Gongming had attained the Great Luo Dao and manifested Nine-Grade Three Flowers. Didn't that mean his potential had reached the limits of the Primordial World, rivaling the Three Pure Ones?

It wasn't just Tongtian Cult Leader. At this moment, the many direct disciples of the Interception Sect within Azure Tour Palace were utterly stunned on the spot, falling into deathly silence!

Nine-Grade Three Flowers—these were the ultimate Three Flowers of the Primordial World!

One had to know that even blooming Eight-Grade Three Flowers represented the potential to attain Sainthood, while Nine-Grade Three Flowers represented—

Zhao Gongming's potential was among the very highest even among Heavenly Dao Sages. Such potential had already reached the limits of the Primordial World.

"Nine-Grade Three Flowers?"

Just as the entire Azure Tour Palace was plunged into shock, Zhao Gongming, who had just bloomed a Nine-Grade Essence Flower, slowly opened his eyes and looked upward.

Above the Auspicious Cloud over his head, a Nine-Grade Essence Flower had taken root. As it swayed gracefully, it scattered endless clear radiance, like the most perfect creation in the world.

In the Primordial World, nine was the limit. This was already the most extreme Three Flowers.

Yet Zhao Gongming frowned slightly.

With his supreme Sage Lineage, rivaling the Three Pure Ones, blooming such ultimate Nine-Grade Three Flowers should have been as natural as water flowing into a channel.

But for some reason, under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he instinctively felt that the Nine-Grade Three Flowers above his head seemed to possess a slight flaw. They weren't perfect.

With that thought, Zhao Gongming instinctively fixed his gaze upon the Nine-Grade Essence Flower and immersed himself in contemplation. Before long, countless insights surged into his mind.

[You observed the Three Flowers above your head. You noticed that the Nine-Grade Three Flowers weren't perfect. In a flash of inspiration, you comprehended the Perfect Three-Flower Deduction Method.]

"Perfect Three-Flower Blooming Method?"

Zhao Gongming awoke from his contemplation. As he sensed the information in his mind, a trace of delight appeared on his face.

In the Primordial World, nine was the ultimate, but twelve was perfection!

Nine-Grade Three Flowers were far from the limit!

With that thought, he immediately used the Perfect Three-Flower Blooming Method.

Very soon, as an arcane aura evolved, the Nine-Grade Essence Flower atop the Auspicious Cloud trembled slightly, and its tenth-grade petal slowly bloomed.

And this seemed to be only the beginning. As the tenth-grade petal opened, the Essence Flower continued trembling faintly, as though it would keep blooming toward even higher grades!

"T-Tenth-Grade Three Flowers?"

Compared to Zhao Gongming, who was immersed in blooming his Three Flowers, Tongtian Cult Leader had already been stunned by the Nine-Grade Three Flowers. When he saw the Tenth-Grade Essence Flower blooming above Zhao Gongming's head, his expression instinctively turned blank. Nine grades were already the limit of the Primordial World. Even when he attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao, he had only bloomed Nine-Grade Three Flowers!

But now, Zhao Gongming had actually bloomed a Tenth-Grade Essence Flower. Even as a Saint, Tongtian Cult Leader was nearly numb with shock. Almost instinctively, he raised his hand and formed a restriction to conceal the Heavenly Secrets. From the outside, the Essence Flower above Zhao Gongming's head appeared to stop after blooming to the ninth grade. Yet within the restriction, before Tongtian Cult Leader could steady his emotions, the Tenth-Grade Essence Flower still showed no sign of stopping.

Tenth grade!

Eleventh grade!

Twelfth grade!

Very soon, under the Perfect Three-Flower Blooming Method, a Twelfth-Grade Essence Flower radiated an air of flawless perfection.

It swayed gracefully atop the Auspicious Cloud, scattering endless clear brilliance, like the most perfect creation in the world. Just one glance made it impossible to look away.

Bathed in that clear brilliance, Zhao Gongming's Primordial Spirit became limpid and lucid, and even his cultivation speed surged severalfold.

One had to know that with his current lineage and comprehension, his cultivation speed had already been no weaker than the Three Pure Ones—indeed, even more astonishing than theirs.

To surge severalfold on that basis made it clear that the Perfect Three Flowers weren't merely about potential. They also possessed many wondrous and miraculous properties!

"Twelfth-Grade... Perfect Three Flowers?"

Tongtian Cult Leader was completely dumbfounded. Since Pangu the Great had created heaven and earth, it seemed no living being had ever been able to bloom such Perfect Three Flowers. Not even a Heavenly Dao Sage—perhaps not even Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao Ancestor—could bloom such Perfect Three Flowers. Yet the direct disciple he had accepted on a whim while traveling the Eastern Sea had actually bloomed such Three Flowers upon attaining the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao!

What kind of aptitude was this? What kind of comprehension was this!

For a moment, Tongtian Cult Leader's body trembled instinctively with excitement. When he looked at Zhao Gongming again, it was as though he were looking at an unparalleled treasure!

As the saying went, a fine teacher was easy to find, but a Dao lineage was hard to pass on!

What incredible fortune had befallen him, Tongtian Cult Leader, for him to accept a disciple with such heaven-defying aptitude? The Interception Sect's Dao lineage had hope, and his own Dao lineage had hope of being passed on as well!

"Continue!"

Leaving aside Tongtian Cult Leader, who was bursting with excitement, after the Essence Flower bloomed, Zhao Gongming continued to bloom the Qi Flower.

First grade!

Second grade!

Third grade!

Eighth grade!

Ninth grade!

Very soon, the Nine-Grade Qi Flower representing the past bloomed, swaying gracefully.

Zhao Gongming followed the same method. As he used the Perfect Three-Flower Deduction Method, the Qi Flower that had already reached the nine-grade limit began blooming once more.

Tenth grade!

Eleventh grade!

Twelfth grade!

Very soon, the second Twelfth-Grade Three Flower bloomed atop the Auspicious Cloud, swaying gracefully and radiating an air of flawless perfection. It scattered endless clear brilliance, and bathed in it, Zhao Gongming felt his Primordial Spirit grow limpid and lucid. Compared to before, his cultivation speed had already increased tenfold!

"Continue!"

Having tasted the benefits, Zhao Gongming immediately struck while the iron was hot and bloomed a Twelfth-Grade Perfect Spirit Flower. At this point, all Three Flowers had bloomed to the twelfth grade in perfection. They swayed atop the Auspicious Cloud, and the clear brilliance they scattered was almost becoming tangible. Bathed in that radiance, Zhao Gongming felt his Primordial Spirit reach the utmost clarity, while his cultivation speed had increased dozens of times over!

It was no exaggeration to say that the Dao-comprehending effect of these Perfect Three Flowers alone was already comparable to the Dao-Comprehending Supreme Treasure, the Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly!

"Five Qi Perfection, Three Flowers blooming—once I attain the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao, I'll be able to refine the Chaos Pearl's First Restriction..."

Looking at the Perfect Three Flowers above his head, Zhao Gongming smiled.

The Three Flowers represented potential. Twelfth-Grade Perfect Three Flowers might not be unprecedented, but they would surely never be surpassed.

Not only that, once he attained the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao—

Not only would his own strength soar, he could also attempt to refine the Chaos Pearl's First Restriction and unlock the true capabilities of this Primordial Chaos Treasure!

But before Zhao Gongming could carefully observe the Three Flowers above his head, an irresistible pulling force suddenly came from within his Primordial Spirit.

Then, before Zhao Gongming could react, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a strange space.

Beneath his feet flowed an ancient river emerging from the deepest depths of Primordial Chaos. It flowed through the Primordial World before extending into all heavens and myriad realms. It had no past, existed not in the present, passed not through the future. It existed neither before the eyes nor within the sea of the heart. Ancient and modern, it was nowhere to be found; above and below, in all directions, it went nowhere. Drifting and hazy, illusory and unreal, traceless and shadowless, seemingly real yet seemingly false.

"This is... the Primordial World Fate River Space?"
