Achieving the Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit Position!

"Boom!"

A buzzing filled Lin Yunji's head.

As soon as the icy notification finished speaking, Lin Yunji sank into a state of profound mystery.

Vast quantities of Innate Spiritual Qi suddenly rushed toward him, pouring into his body all at once.

He felt as though his understanding of the Great Dao of heaven and earth was growing ever deeper. The Qi between heaven and earth seemed to grow familiar, and he was happy to merge with heaven and earth.

This profound sensation could only be understood, not put into words, and it left Lin Yunji feeling utterly at ease.

It was in this mysterious state that Lin Yunji's Law Power soared, his cultivation rose rapidly, and his realm rose with it.

Once again, he entered a state of breakthrough.

What Lin Yunji did not know was that his sudden breakthrough had thoroughly shocked the Witch Clan warriors present and given them quite a fright!

None of them could have imagined that Lin Yunji, who had just been speaking with their Ancestral Witch Houtu and giving Lady Nüwa a gift, would inexplicably begin breaking through the very next moment!

It was simply unheard of and unseen!

What was more, his breakthrough was gathering such tremendous momentum, its power terrifying beyond compare!

When had they ever seen a breakthrough like this?

Innate Spiritual Qi from millions of miles around was drawn over, pressing into Lin Yunji's body as though possessed, violent to the extreme.

They could not help shuddering. If such violent energy entered their bodies, they felt they might burst apart and die the very next moment! And they cultivated strength and their bodies above all else!

Just what was Lin Yunji's background? He was truly terrifying, frightening beyond belief, and unbelievably powerful!

At that moment, Lin Yunji was like a bottomless pit, absorbing a terrifying quantity of Innate Spiritual Qi, yet still far from satisfied and craving more.

"Rumble-"

Suddenly, thunder rolled across the vault of heaven. In an instant, the winds and clouds changed, black clouds churned on the horizon and pressed down toward the earth. How could such a phenomenon in the heavens not inspire fear?

"How could this be?"

At the sight, not only the Witch Clan warriors but Ancestral Witch Houtu as well were quite astonished. Even Lady Nüwa could not help exclaiming, "Little Jade Bamboo, how... how has he started breaking through again?!"

"But... the momentum of his breakthrough this time is actually so great! Its power is many times greater than last time!"

"No wonder his Law Power is so strong, more than a hundred times richer than that of beings in the same realm!"

"But..."

"No, that's not right!" Before Lady Nüwa could finish, Ancestral Witch Houtu parted her red lips slightly, unable to conceal her surprise. She said dazedly, "When young friend Lin Yunji breaks through, he stirs heaven and earth and brings forth one phenomenon after another. If it were only a minor realm..."

Lady Nüwa realized it too.

"In that case, I'm afraid he's crossing more than just one minor realm!"

As if to confirm Ancestral Witch Houtu's guess, Lin Yunji's presence soon reached the peak of the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm. Yet he seemed to encounter no obstacle at all, crossing it with ease and reaching the Late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal realm directly.

But-

There was still no sign of it ending!

Time slipped quietly by, and the Innate Spiritual Qi that surged over in endless waves like the tide continued to pour madly into Lin Yunji's body. The rate at which his cultivation grew even showed faint signs of accelerating. Not only that, but his realm was rising ever more rapidly as well.

Before long, he broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Great Perfection realm.

Yet he was still going!

Fierce winds howled and black clouds churned. Purple-gold lightning intertwined above the clouds, then crashed down through them, followed by peal after peal of rolling thunder from deep within the heavens.

Suddenly, an opening seemed to appear silently in the clouds. Wisps of an immensely profound Qi drifted down from the void, passing through layer upon layer of clouds and mist before settling above Lin Yunji's head.

They circled and curled above his head, like mischievous children laughing and playing, leaping and gathering without dispersing.

As the wisps gathered in ever greater numbers, they slowly formed three small golden flowers above Lin Yunji's head.

Each golden flower radiated brilliant light, dazzling to behold, with a faint Dao rhythm lingering around it, seemingly without end.

Nourished by the Qi from the void, the three little golden flowers bloomed even more vividly and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At the sight, the Houtu Witch Clan and Lady Nüwa could no longer hide their astonishment. They stared blankly at Lin Yunji, their eyes wide.

Only after a long while did they come to their senses. They exchanged a glance and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes!

"That... that's actually the Power of Principle!"

"Th-that's far too incredible!" Lady Nüwa opened her mouth, almost incoherent. "Little Jade Bamboo, he... he actually... actually has Three Flowers Gather at the Crown? And had a sudden insight into the Power of Principle?"

Even as she said it, her words came out as questions. It seemed that, even though she had seen it with her own eyes, she could not believe it!

For as far as she knew, no being had ever been able to... to... to condense the three flowers and comprehend a Principle so easily!

It... it was easy, wasn't it...?

Ancestral Witch Houtu was likewise unable to believe it for a moment, her shock beyond measure. "He really did break straight through from the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm! Young friend Lin Yunji, I have truly never seen the like in my life! If it hadn't happened right before my eyes, I would never have believed anyone who told me such a thing."

"Not to mention, he also seems to have gained a sudden insight into a Principle and comprehended the Power of Principle... Hmm? It doesn't seem to be an ordinary Principle, either!"

At that, Ancestral Witch Houtu turned to Lady Nüwa, a questioning look in her eyes. "Lady Nüwa, look at this Power of Principle, at its color. Just what sort of Principle is it?"

Lady Nüwa fixed her beautiful eyes on the Qi curling above Lin Yunji's head. That Qi had come from the void, and though she pondered it carefully, she could not think what it was.

"To tell you the truth, this is my first time seeing such a Principle too..." Nüwa studied it for quite a while but still could not identify it. She could only give up with a wry smile.

It had to be said that Lin Yunji's breakthrough had truly shaken the two great powers, Lady Nüwa and Ancestral Witch Houtu, beyond measure!

After all, neither of them had ever seen a being go straight from the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to condensing the three flowers, comprehending a Principle, and reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm in such a short time!

What was more!

It was also truly their first time seeing that Power of Principle, wreathed in rising mist and curling ethereally through the air!

"Rumble!"

All of a sudden, heaven and earth changed color, and the void shook violently.

The Innate Spiritual Qi within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles gradually grew calm, with none of its earlier violence remaining.

It was as though nothing had happened!

Looking at Lin Yunji again, he had finally stopped breaking through.

From this moment on, Lin Yunji had reached the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm. Not only had his cultivation risen tremendously, but his presence was also beyond comparison with what it had been before.

After all, he had now condensed the three flowers above his head and comprehended the Power of Principle. Not only had his combat power soared, but even the pressure he unintentionally emitted with his every movement had become terrifying!

But on closer inspection, there was not a trace of joy on Lin Yunji's face. Instead, his eyes revealed endless helplessness.

What a huge loss! I never imagined I'd already reach this point!

Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal, fuck! You damned lousy system, you've really screwed me over!

After slowly settling down from his breakthrough, Lin Yunji could not stop himself from cursing loudly in his heart. This is only the fucking third Heavenly Scar Fragment, and you gave me five hundred thousand Cultivation Points? Oh, damn this system! I went looking for these Heavenly Scar Fragments only because I wanted to stay in the Primordial World! If you can't let me break through even a little more slowly, what use are these Heavenly Scar Fragments to me?

"Swish! Swish!"

With two soft sounds, Lady Nüwa and Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed into streaks of light and flew over together.

They both stopped beside Lin Yunji and naturally saw the helplessness and frustration on his face.

They could not help feeling puzzled, especially Lady Nüwa. This was not the first time she had seen Lin Yunji wear such an expression!

Every time he broke through, he would first spend some time feeling frustrated, which made Lady Nüwa roll her eyes inwardly.

This was something Lady Nüwa had always wondered about. The first time she saw that expression on his face, she had thought Lin Yun must have been dissatisfied with breaking through only one realm.

But now? He had gone straight from the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm, condensing the three flowers at his crown and comprehending the Power of Principle!

Even so, was he still dissatisfied?

How could that be?

"Congratulations, young friend Lin Yunji. Your cultivation has risen greatly, your attainment has advanced, and you have broken straight through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm and achieved the Daluo Golden Immortal Fruit Position!" Ancestral Witch Houtu congratulated him with a smile.

Though she had also seen the helplessness and frustration on Lin Yunji's face, she did not point them out. Instead, she broke into a smile, her pretty face wearing a gentle expression, though it showed even more curiosity about Lin Yunji.

"Ah, if I could, I'd rather not have this Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal realm. I'd much rather stay in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!" Lin Yunji blurted out, somehow looking at Ancestral Witch Houtu's face.

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Ancestral Witch Houtu froze.

She truly thought Lin Yunji was only joking with her.

After all, in this vast Primordial World, beneath the boundless heavens and upon the endless earth, she had never heard of a being who, after reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, wanted to retreat to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

But what she did not know was that Lin Yunji had spoken the truth in his heart!
