When the second Great Dao Flower fully bloomed, even the sea around Golden Turtle Island fell still for an instant.
The sea breeze stopped.
Spirit beasts bowed low.
Countless Interception Sect disciples emerged from their caves and looked toward the mountain behind Biyou Palace.
Two enormous flower silhouettes hung in the heavens.
The first bore intricate Dao patterns.
The second swirled with the five qi.
The third still had only the faintest outline.
Everyone who truly understood the Dao of the Daluo Realm knew.
The third was the hardest.
The first two could gradually coalesce through accumulated cultivation, insight, and foundations.
The third flower involved making one's Great Dao consistent across past, present, and future.
A cultivator had to truly step beyond the limits of the Taiyi realm.
Their Primordial Spirit, physical body, and Great Dao had to form a complete whole.
Zhao Gongming was no longer joking now.
He was in the Daluo Realm himself.
He knew better than anyone how difficult the third flower was.
"The first two came quickly."
"The third can't be rushed."
Duobao nodded. "Lin Yuan simply hasn't been cultivating long enough."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The third flower silhouette above the grotto-heaven suddenly grew noticeably clearer.
Zhao Gongming: "..."
Duobao: "..."
Bixiao burst out laughing beside them.
"Why don't you two stop analyzing things?"
Zhao Gongming said helplessly, "That's how it works for normal Daluo cultivators."
"When has Lin Yuan ever been normal?"
That single remark from Bixiao.
Left Zhao Gongming speechless.
Inside the Supreme Purity Grotto-Heaven.
Lin Yuan himself did not feel the third flower was forming quickly.
He only felt that, after the first two flowers took shape, all the abilities within him seemed to have finally found where they truly belonged.
Before.
Spiritual perception had been spiritual perception.
