Thirty-Six Petals Bloom

Qing Xuanzi had some guesses as to why Hongjun was willing to help him.

From the moment Hongjun opened his mouth and wanted to take him as a disciple, he had a suspicion: Hongjun was looking for a way out.

Although merging with the Dao was said to be a shortcut to reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm, it was also extremely dangerous.

Any mistake would lead to eternal damnation.

In the Great Desolation, the only things that could contend with the Heavenly Dao were the Human Dao and the Earth Dao.

He was the Son of Destiny of the Human Dao. Taking him as a disciple was not just about gaining destiny, but also about winning him over.

Otherwise, how could he, a mere Golden Immortal, possibly catch Hongjun's eye?

He wanted to win him over and befriend him, with the goal of having him help out in times of crisis.

At the very least, it would make the Human Dao consider him more, preventing Hongjun from completely perishing.

Turning his thoughts back, Qing Xuanzi began to assess whether his cultivation technique had the potential to meet Hongjun's requirements.

It was clear that the cheat given by Pangu was very powerful, and the chances were very high.

The cultivation technique Qing Xuanzi obtained from Pangu was the Five Grand Primordial Arts, a technique that no one had ever cultivated before.

This was because to cultivate this technique, one had to start from Taiji.

And Taiji corresponded to the extreme of humanity, which could only be cultivated by a Congenital Dao Body.

The so-called Five Grand Primordials, in progressive order, were: Taiji, Taisu, Taishi, Taichu, and Taiyi.

The extreme of humanity was the Congenital Dao Body, and the Human Race was born with the Dao Body, so the Five Grand Primordial Arts were prepared for the Congenital Human Race.

In fact, Pangu could also cultivate it, but because this technique only appeared in his inheritance after the Thirty-Six Petal Green Lotus disintegrated,

At that time, Pangu was already burdened with the mission of creation and had no time to cultivate, so he guided Qing Xuanzi in his cultivation.

It was also precisely because Qing Xuanzi had been unsuccessful in his cultivation that Pangu finally understood at the last moment.

Qing Xuanzi could only cultivate the Five Grand Primordial Arts when he achieved the body of the Congenital Human Race.

That was why he was sent to the time of the birth of the Human Race.

The Dao Comprehension and Dao Cultivation stage corresponds to Taiji, which is the Dao Comprehension Realm. The Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal is the peak of this stage and the starting point of the next stage.

The Dao Control Realm corresponds to Taisu. This stage begins to grasp the essence of the Dao. The Mixed Origin Taiji Great Luo Golden Immortal is in this stage, and its peak is the Mixed Origin Limitless Golden Immortal.

The Dao Dominion Realm corresponds to Taishi. Its starting point is the Mixed Origin Limitless Golden Immortal. The Great Dao Saint and the Great Dao Supreme Saint are in this stage, and its peak is the Taishi Great Dao.

The Dao Creation Realm corresponds to Taichu, and the No Dao Realm corresponds to Taiyi.

Pangu himself was only at the Great Dao Saint realm, and he could not deduce the subsequent cultivation techniques.

Therefore, the Five Grand Primordial Arts in Qing Xuanzi's mind also stopped at the Taishi stage.

The Taiji stage has nine turns:

First turn Earth Immortal, second turn Heavenly Immortal, third turn True Immortal, fourth turn Mysterious Immortal, fifth turn Golden Immortal, sixth turn Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Seventh turn Great Luo Golden Immortal, eighth turn Hunyuan Golden Immortal, ninth turn Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Qing Xuanzi was currently at the fifth turn. Based on his cultivation experience, he was very confident he could reach the eighth turn within ten thousand years.

He was almost eighty percent certain.

This was because he had successfully reached the fifth turn of Golden Immortal cultivation just a thousand years after Pangu's lecture.

It was only because he lacked a Congenital Human Race body that he couldn't achieve Golden Immortal status. Now, as soon as he became a Congenital Human Race member, he immediately became a Golden Immortal.

If this were the case, even considering the increased difficulty of the subsequent turns, he was indeed eighty percent confident he could advance three more turns in ten thousand years.

After completely clarifying his cultivation direction, Qing Xuanzi looked up and replied, "If everything goes smoothly, I have an eighty percent chance."

"Good, in that case, this old Daoist will go crazy with you," Hongjun agreed.

An eighty percent chance was quite high in the Great Desolation.

After all, this was the Great Desolation, where anything could happen. An eighty percent chance was almost a hundred percent certainty.

The remaining twenty percent was the result of factoring in variables.

Following this, Hongjun continued, "In ten thousand years, I will tell you the plan in advance. Just act according to the plan."

"Thank you, Master."

"Alright, our meeting is also due to fate. I, this old Daoist, didn't expect someone like you to appear. Your appearance has made the Great Desolation much more interesting, and it's worth this old Daoist taking a risk."

Hongjun left, and Qing Xuanzi officially began his cultivation journey.

A thousand years passed, and Qing Xuanzi achieved Grand Unity Golden Immortal status.

The three thousand Congenital Human Race members also embarked on the path of Dao like Qing Xuanzi, and some of the first to do so had already become Immortals.

Three thousand years passed, and all three thousand Congenital Human Race members became Immortals.

At this moment, an aura of Great Luo spread out.

"It's Qing Xuanzi! Qing Xuanzi has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao!" Huang's cultivation was interrupted by this aura, and he said in surprise.

"Yes, it is indeed Qing Xuanzi's aura. Hahaha, our Human Race also has a Great Luo Golden Immortal now," Tian laughed heartily.

The Human Race members cultivating together on the mountaintop all stopped and looked in the direction of Qing Xuanzi's cultivation cave dwelling.

In the air above it, a flower bud was about to bloom.

Waves of Dao fragrance emanated from it, and the pure white petals slowly unfolded. A golden flower emitted a dazzling light.

Immediately after, another flower bud appeared next to the golden flower, blooming like the previous one and revealing another golden flower.

This continued, one petal, two petals, three petals, four petals...

It reached eight petals and still didn't stop, continuing rapidly towards nine petals.

Kunlun Mountain.

"Senior Brother, what a genius! It's actually a nine-petal Great Luo! He's caught up to our innate divine and sacred origins! This is incredible!" The first to exclaim in admiration was Master Tongtian on Kunlun Mountain.

Celestial Worthy of Primordial Beginning remained expressionless. He felt offended. In the entire Great Desolation, currently, only the Three Pure Ones had nine-petal Great Luo flowers.

It was impossible for anyone else to have the talent for a nine-petal flower. Of course, he automatically ignored the Dao Ancestor.

The result was a slap in the face. How could he not be upset?

Meanwhile, Master Tongtian kept praising him incessantly, his face gradually turning green.

Mount Sumeru.

Jie Yin and Zhunti had already been paying attention to Qing Xuanzi when he was at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After seeing Qing Xuanzi's flower bloom to nine petals, their eyes began to flicker, and they grew brighter and brighter.

"Senior Brother, this child is fated with the West."

"Junior Brother, have you forgotten? He is the Dao Ancestor's closed-door disciple. It's best to put away those thoughts." Zhunti's words almost broke Jie Yin.

Good heavens, you dare to covet the teacher's closed-door disciple? Are you tired of living?

"Senior Brother, since he is the teacher's disciple, then he is our junior brother. What's wrong with coming to the Western Sect?"

Hearing this, Jie Yin realized it was true. Weren't they also senior and junior brothers?

They could indeed plan to bring this junior brother to the Western Sect.

This way, the Western Sect would also have someone whose flower bloomed to nine petals, and they could at least hold their heads high in front of the Three Pure Ones.

"Wait, Senior Brother, is there a Great Luo Golden Immortal whose flower exceeds nine petals?"

"Only the Dao Ancestor." Jie Yin blurted out, but after speaking, he knew that Zhunti didn't mean that.

Instead, he meant that Qing Xuanzi's flower had bloomed beyond nine petals.

"Ten... ten petals, Senior Brother." Zhunti's words were stumbling.

"Yes, ten petals, the height of the Dao Ancestor," Jie Yin said with emotion.

However, the scene that followed even startled Hongjun. Nothing else, Qing Xuanzi was still trying to make his flower bloom.

Even the eleventh petal had already taken shape.

"Qing Xuanzi, you truly haven't disappointed me. I want to see if you can truly compare with Great God Pangu. I am looking forward to it."

Hongjun, sitting high on the cloud platform in the Purple Cloud Palace, his face unchanging for eons, now changed.

He was shocked by Qing Xuanzi's monstrous talent.

As for the Three Pure Ones, especially Primordial Beginning, he was now in self-isolation. It was too upsetting. Not only could the person's flower bloom to nine petals.

Moreover, it rushed all the way to eleven petals in one go. Numb, tired, let's just destroy everything.

Zhunti was even more excited, pinching his thigh and saying, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I'm not dreaming, am I? I have a bad feeling, I don't feel any pain."

"You f*cking, you're pinching my leg, let go quickly, it hurts me to death." Jie Yin jumped in pain. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose, otherwise, why would he use so much force?

"Ah, Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just got excited and it happened. Didn't you see? Did you see? The flower bloomed to thirty-six petals!"

Zhunti was as excited as if his own flower had bloomed to thirty-six petals, waving his arms and dancing.

"Junior Brother, that's his flower blooming to thirty-six petals, what are you so excited about?" Jie Yin looked at his junior brother, who was so excited he was about to faint, and quickly tried to cool him down.

"It's alright, this child, our Western Sect will have him, I said so."

Jie Yin looked at Zhunti's domineering appearance and felt that something was wrong. Could this junior brother have beenpoisoned by a Gu (poisoned by a Gu -poisoned by a Gu is a Chinese phrase meaning "poisoned by a Gu" which means "poisoned by a Gu")?

And this feeling was very bad, as if something was about to leave him.
