With a thought, Qin Mu sent out the command and began to wait.
"I wonder what reward this Great Red Packet will contain?"
Qin Mu was filled with anticipation.
The last time he had opened a Great Red Packet was when he had just become Tongtian's disciple and arrived at Kunlun Mountain.
After opening that Great Red Packet, he had obtained a Treasure Fusion Scroll.
The Treasure Fusion Scroll could fuse and advance Innate Spiritual Treasures of the same attribute and grade, raising them as high as Innate Supreme Treasures.
It was nothing short of heaven-defying!
Soon, the system's response sounded in Qin Mu's mind:
[ Ding! ]
[ Congratulations, Master, on opening a Great Red Packet! ]
[ Reward obtained: Million-Year Mana. ]
[ One of the Nine Secrets obtained: Lin Zi Secret. ]
Qin Mu was utterly astonished upon hearing the system notification.
"Million-Year Mana?"
"And the Lin Zi Secret?"
"I never expected this Great Red Packet to yield such rewards!"
Qin Mu's face was full of excitement.
The Million-Year Mana reward would save him a great deal of arduous cultivation time.
As for the Lin Zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, it was an unparalleled supreme offensive technique from Shrouding the Heavens.
"Haha!"
"This ascent of Buzhou Mountain has truly been a bountiful harvest!"
Qin Mu did not hesitate any longer and directly chose to claim the rewards.
Boom!
In an instant, a million years of mana poured into his body like a tidal wave.
As the mana continued to flood in, Qin Mu's cultivation rapidly rose as well.
Before long, he had directly advanced from the Mid Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm to the Late Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
The mana continued to pour in, and Qin Mu's cultivation continued to rise with it.
Very quickly, he reached the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Rumble...
At that moment, a pillar of golden light suddenly shot into the sky from Qin Mu's body, as though linking heaven and earth.
Immediately afterward, the barrier of Qin Mu's Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation shattered at the slightest touch.
Then, Three Flowers emerged above Qin Mu's head.
They were the Heaven, Earth, and Human Flowers, the sign that one was about to break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Very soon, the Human Flower among the Three Flowers bloomed.
The Human Flower corresponded to a cultivator's essence.
It displayed the radiance of exquisite jade and divine luster.
Once it bloomed, it signified the completion of a cultivator's physical cultivation and was also the key to severing the seeds of Reincarnation.
Ever since climbing Buzhou Mountain, Qin Mu had constantly tempered his body with Buzhou Mountain's pressure.
That was why Qin Mu's Human Flower bloomed first.
What shocked Qin Mu even more was that—
Of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Summit, his Human Flower was of no low grade. It had actually bloomed with nine petals.
This meant that his Human Flower had reached the ninth grade.
Within the Primordial World, when living beings broke through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm—
Ordinary cultivators generally stopped at the Third Grade, while the Fourth through Sixth Grades were considered the elite tier.
To reach the Seventh Grade, one needed an exceptionally extraordinary innate foundation.
As for the ninth grade, it was the limit of the Heavenly Dao, attainable only by Innate Demon Gods.
Just as Qin Mu condensed his Human Flower, the Five Elements Qi within his chest also rapidly condensed, forming a Five-Colored Canopy that surged into the heavens.
Boom...
For a moment, the acupoints throughout Qin Mu's body connected as if Chaos had just opened, manifesting the phenomenon of a Celebratory Cloud to protect him.
At this point, under the infusion of Million-Year Mana, he officially stepped into the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm and joined the ranks of the Primordial Great Powers.
"I broke through!"
"Early Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"
Qin Mu said excitedly.
He had not expected that, with the boost of Million-Year Mana, he would directly break through from Grand Unity Golden Immortal to Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Before Qin Mu could even finish celebrating, the profound meaning of the Lin Zi Secret, one of the Nine Secrets, flooded into his sea of consciousness.
The Lin Zi Secret was a secret technique created by the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Venerate in Shrouding the Heavens.
Once activated, it allowed one to enter the Divine Prohibition Domain, enhancing every aspect. Whether speed or strength, it enabled one to fight enemies across realms.
Among those of the same realm, it was an invincible existence.
It could be said to be peerless in offense.
"My cultivation has advanced to Grand Luo Golden Immortal."
"And I've obtained a supreme secret technique like the Lin Zi Secret."
"If I pair it with the Lifebound Divine Ability of the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass, it will be like adding wings to a tiger!"
"This journey to Buzhou Mountain has truly been a tremendous harvest!"
Qin Mu sighed with emotion.
After all, during this journey to Buzhou Mountain, his physical body had reached the fourth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.
Moreover, his cultivation had reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.
And he had also obtained the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd.
"With my current strength, as long as no Quasi-Saint acts, I fear no one!"
Qin Mu was brimming with confidence.
At the same time, the dazzling phenomena above Qin Mu's head gradually dissipated.
"Time to descend the mountain!"
Qin Mu did not delay and headed straight down Buzhou Mountain.
Compared to his ascent, Qin Mu's descent was exceptionally easy.
After so many years, his body had long since grown accustomed to Buzhou Mountain's pressure.
Before long, he arrived at the mountainside.
That Innate Formation was still evolving and circulating there.
However, the Innate Gourd Vine within it had already been taken by Qin Mu.
As for the three Late Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivators, one had been blasted to death by Qin Mu, with even his Primordial Spirit shredded.
The other two had been drawn into the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd and long since refined into nothingness.
"I still need to find some Chaos Liquid later."
"Perhaps it can allow the Innate Gourd Vine to bear more Innate Gourds!"
Qin Mu paused briefly and muttered to himself.
When he had found the Innate Gourd Vine in the small world within that Innate Formation, only the Seventh Gourd remained on it.
Because of its missing origin, it had been difficult for it to mature.
Fortunately, Qin Mu had previously opened a Medium Red Packet and obtained Chaos Liquid, which could repair withered Innate Spiritual Roots.
After using it, the Seventh Gourd had finally matured and transformed into the Purple Gold Chaos Gourd.
After pausing for a moment, Qin Mu composed himself and continued toward the foot of the mountain.
Very soon, he arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"Hmm?"
Qin Mu suddenly stopped. Two powerful auras immediately caught his attention.
Looking closely, he saw two figures standing face-to-face at the entrance of Buzhou Mountain.
Both figures were tall and imposing.
One of them was no stranger to Qin Mu. He was none other than Kuafu, the Great Witch of the Wu Clan whom Qin Mu had defeated years ago.
Just as Qin Mu was observing Kuafu and the other man—
Kuafu and the other person also noticed Qin Mu emerging from the mountain.
"It's him!"
At the sight of Qin Mu, Kuafu could not help crying out in alarm.
Upon hearing Kuafu's words, the imposing figure beside him could not resist giving Qin Mu a few more looks.
At that moment, Qin Mu gathered his thoughts and unhurriedly walked toward the two of them.
Upon approaching, he smiled at Kuafu in greeting, then looked at the figure standing beside him.
He could sense that this figure was filled with terrifying baleful energy.
Simply standing there caused the surrounding space to twist slightly.
His dreadful aura was several times more powerful than Kuafu's.
Seeing Qin Mu look at him, the burly figure suddenly erupted with surging battle intent.
"This man's identity is likely far from simple!"
"With such an aura—"
"He should also be a Great Witch of the Wu Clan."
