306. Chapter 301: An Ultimate Grand Master of the Mortal Embryo, Choosing a Sacred Land to Aid My Ascension to Martial Saint【Seek Monthly Votes】

Crack—crack——!

Above the heavens, leaden clouds piled up, countless fragments flying out, within the cloud layer that shed snowflakes, it seemed as if electric dragons were tumbling within.

Winter thunder is rare; a sudden winter thunderclap appeared, as if the celestial phenomena had been altered.

Before the Guiyi Miao of the Second Heart Great Sage.

Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia stood outside the Guiyi Que, gazing at the now‑calm Guiyi Que; inside, the ghostly mist still churned, but compared to the earlier uproar of silver‑haired corpse‑king demon ape when the temple‑guarding spell corpse king awakened, it was far better.

But……

Their pupils contracted, both staring in astonishment at the three blazing flame lotuses rising from within the Guiyi Miao.

Brilliant to the extreme, radiant and vast!

Like three glazed flower lamps ignited on a deity's body, constantly swirling, akin to a golden crow crying out amid the vast ocean currents, soaring high, wings unfurled, rising with the wind.

Gongshu Jingjun is fine; after all, he is a divine‑embryo cultivator, his martial arts somewhat ordinary.

But Tang Xiejia is a genuine Martial Saint—though only a first‑stage Human Elixir Martial Saint, he should still feel something about the martial three flowers.

Such three flowers……

Simply beyond his imagination!

Is this the three flowers that a person can condense?!

In martial cultivation, one tempers essence, energy, and spirit; after stepping into the Grand Master realm, the entire Grand Master stage is actually preparing for the blossoming of the human body's three flowers.

A master martialist condenses the human elixir, refines the primordial essence, and can step into the Grand Master realm.

Within the five viscera, the body's primordial essence is tempered and condensed into the great elixir; divine vigor is the tempering of qi and blood, the innate Grand Master cultivates heaven‑human resonance, cultivating the body's "spirit"; innate true vigor is like nourishment, allowing the elusive spirit captured by heaven‑human unity to gradually become substantial.

Then, upon reaching the Ultimate Grand Master realm, it is actually the primordial essence leaking from the body's great elixir, being refined and polished, the process of blossoming the flower of primordial essence.

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit are the foundation of a martialist, and can even be said to be the foundation of a person.

Martial training cannot be separated from these three points.

The top three flowers: essence, energy, spirit; human, earth, heaven!

Essence refers to primordial essence, the source squeezed out from the body's great elixir, representing humanity.

Energy wanders between heaven and earth, the vast spiritual qi captured within the body, driving qi and blood like tides rising and falling, surging with power that can overturn mountains and overturn seas, representing earth.

Spirit arises from heaven‑human unity, representing heaven.

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit are therefore the three flowers of heaven, earth, and humanity……

When the three flowers gather, there is a chance to align the five qi to the origin and condense the Martial Saint primordial vigor!

This is a stage every Grand Master aspiring to Martial Saint must undergo!

But this stage actually offers a chance to directly leap across!

Like Nie Yang, who nurtured his sword to nurture his spirit; in the Divine Vigor realm, he took the sword as his spirit; when sword intent was comprehended, he leapt with one sword, pierced into the Ultimate Grand Master realm with one sword, using sword qi as fire to ignite the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit!

However, wanting to leap across in one step to ignite the three flowers is actually extremely difficult, even harder than steady step‑by‑step breakthrough.

A slight misstep may leave one stuck for a long time.

If that happens, a lifetime is ruined.

Tang Xiejia was utterly shocked; such exquisite, unparalleled extreme three flowers—how terrifying! How inconceivable!

Is this the three flowers a person can blossom?!

Can a person's essence, energy, and spirit actually become this powerful?!

Such an Ultimate Grand Master might be able to directly cross the martial barrier and battle a Martial Saint?!

"Extreme qi and blood, extreme heaven‑human unity, extreme human great elixir primordial essence!"

"Extremely brilliant three flowers, like the blazing sun in the sky!"

Tang Xiejia drew a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

"Who?!"

"Inside the Guiyi Miao of the Second Heart Great Sage…… someone is breaking through?!"

"I suspect this person condensing such extreme three flowers intends to rush the Martial Saint in one go?!"

Tang Xiejia's body rose tall and sturdy, his clothes strained, battle intent surged, his qi and blood unconsciously mobilized, each blue vein roaring like a flood dragon, trembling and quivering.

Gongshu Jingjun beside him also returned to his senses from those dazzling three flowers.

At this moment his complexion shifted slightly.

"This ghostly mist…… only just now returned to calm! How could someone have already stepped into the Guiyi Miao before? How did he enter?!"

Gongshu Jingjun's hairs stood on end.

How did this Second Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao become so unfamiliar to him?

Previously the Second Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao was struck by lightning every day.

Now someone is condensing the supreme three flowers inside the Guiyi Miao, aiming to break into the Martial Saint realm!

Who is it?

Has he taken over the Guiyi Miao?!

Does he ignore the divine contamination of the temple spirit within the Guiyi Miao?!

Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia exchanged a glance; the next moment, their auras surged upward.

Gongshu Jingjun's palm produced a jade sword; after suddenly crushing it, a sword qi shot violently into the clouds above.

The Guiyi Miao undergoes a change!

Notify Sect Leader Lü Taibai!

……

……

Heaven's Origin Divine Sect.

Grand White Peak.

Heavy snow fluttered, snowflakes spinning as they fell from high altitude, landing on the great flat and on the black tiles, condensing into icicles like stone stalactites in a cave, reflecting various lights, extremely splendid.

And on the great flat.

Lu Taibai was giving pointers to Xixi's cultivation.

Xixi clenched her five fingers, and a splendid, gleaming gold brick appeared in her hand, her arm bent inward, as she held the brick, Xixi looked somewhat like a ruffian.

Lu Taibai stared, then burst into silent laughter.

"This is the God‑Smiting Brick; you have finally managed to summon it, indicating that your divine sense has greatly increased, enough to assault the Divine Appearance realm."

Lu Taibai's silver hair fluttered as he smiled gently.

"You need to try to communicate with your divine sense; divine weapons have their own spirituality. Communicate with that spirituality using your divine foundation… The aspect you pre‑outlined in your divine foundation is the 【Eight‑Armed Three‑Faced Immortal Lotus Indestructible Third Prince】; the temple deity belonging to that divine weapon is Him…"

"You use your divine foundation to guide the spirituality within the divine weapon; after some time, assaulting the Divine Appearance realm will come naturally."

Lu Taibai rubbed Xixi's head and said.

"I originally wanted you to wield that purple‑flame serpent spear fire tip, but… you haven't born a nascent spirit, making it hard to activate; this God‑Smiting Brick, you can only draw out its form, unable to control it with a nascent spirit…"

"Using it as a weapon to smash people is also not bad."

Lu Taibai introduced it to Xixi, who then lifted her head and blinked her big eyes.

"Wield the brick to smash?"

"This God‑Smiting Brick is a tremendously powerful divine weapon, possessing a strong divinity; even without activation, taking a solid hit from it will leave even a divine‑origin true person who has shed their nascent spirit dizzy and blurred for a moment."

"It produces an irresistible dizziness."

"Of course, you also need to hit your target… so this brick is best suited for ambush."

"However, when your cultivation is strong enough to control this gold brick with your nascent spirit, you can truly unleash the power of the God‑Smiting Brick."

Lu Taibai has been to the Third Prince Guiyi Miao, even taking away the Immortal Lotus Yang God Sword from there, and has studied many of the Third Prince's divine weapons.

In fact…

Lu Taibai also felt it was utterly absurd; the Third Prince Guiyi Miao is like a treasure trove, mythic weapons as if free, countless in number.

The only pity is that the signature 【Mystic Thunder Diamond Universe Ring】 has ended up in the Longyuan Dao Three Pure Ones Guiyi Miao.

"If the chance arises later, bring Xixi along to fetch this divine weapon."

"Xixi's Third Prince set will roughly be complete…"

"With Xixi's talent, relying on this set of Third Prince divine gear, she might have a chance to strike into the top three of the Great Divine Register!"

Just as Lu Taibai was still wanting to continue giving pointers,

"His heart stirred slightly, he lifted his head and looked into the distance; sword qi blazed in his pupils, and instantly he saw that piercing‑heaven sword light!"

"The direction of Divine Eagle Ridge…"

Lu Taibai's brows furrowed slightly.

"Although he is a Divine Embryo Great God, he lacks the Heaven‑Earth Chessboard, so he cannot constantly maintain perception over vast distances."

"Therefore, many times, when something happens at Divine Eagle Ridge, a signal is still needed to notify."

"Xixi, go find the Eldest Elder to study this God‑Smiting Brick? Master has business and will be away for a trip."

Lu Taibai said gently.

However, Xixi anxiously lifted her head; the sect master‑father's smile… resembled a devil!

"This is sending her off to the devil's den again!"

"I won't go!"

"I want to go find the mistress to draw talismans!"

Xixi hurriedly shouted.

As she turned to run, she was already swiftly snatched up by Lu Taibai; with a single step, she arrived in the Eldest Elder's courtyard.

The Eldest Elder sat in a rocking chair under the eaves, his beautiful beard spread like silk, quietly reading the sage's book in his hand.

He thus saw the Xixi who had been sent over.

Meanwhile, Lu Taibai had already turned into a sword light, shooting into the clouds and traversing the void.

Fang Hanshu stroked his beautiful beard, smiling elegantly: "Xixi, you've come?"

"Come on, let's review last lesson; well, you're now a year older, we've matured, so for each wrong character copy the name ten times."

Xixi held the gold brick, pouting.

Devil!

The Eldest Elder is a devil!

"What does growing up have to do with copying the name ten times?!"

"I really want to knock the Eldest Elder devil unconscious with the brick!"

……

……

Inside the Double‑Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao.

Buzz—

Three splendid blossoms of the three flowers of essence, qi, and spirit burst open, supremely splendid, radiant like the sun.

Burning and twisting, they burst forth with fierce light, instantly dispelling the gloom within the Guiyi Miao, radiant beyond compare!

Li Che stood upright in place, flames of three flowers swirling atop his head and shoulders, spinning round and round like a gleaming golden lotus.

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath; his pupils held endless fervor, like a blazing scorching sun, enough to make ghosts and monsters dissipate like smoke.

Crack—

He spread his arms, tendons and bones vibrating and bursting like thunder, his flesh and blood seeming to glow, the electromagnetic orbit turning, countless thunderbolts surrounding his body and roaring, as if at this moment his physique and martial way had completely merged.

Boom boom boom!

Thunder exploded within the Guiyi Miao, Li Che's jet-black, vigorous hair danced wildly, continually lashing at the void, exploding with brilliant sound.

The physique forged by peerless horizontal cultivation seemed, at this moment, to have reached the ultimate limit of the mortal body.

Within his body, specks of light intertwined with thunder, extremely splendid.

In every aperture, a vast amount of vigorous energy was stored.

The five divine seeds lay like five stars, invisibly guiding the flow of blood and vigor within the meridians.

This is Li Che's horizontal cultivation, the ultimate peerless horizontal cultivation physique forged from the 【Dragon Elephant Vajra】 Dao Fruit.

Within the Guiyi Miao.

Li Che's opening fist technique, merely extremely simple, unleashed a surging vigorous energy that ravaged and struck, the five hundred forty strands of innate true vigorous energy transforming into five hundred forty strands of three-flowers vigorous energy.

The thunderous power fused with the electromagnetic orbit, extremely righteous, slaying evil and subduing demons.

"Grand Master of the Peak Three Flowers..."

"Finally achieved!"

Li Che's eyes blazed, he exhaled a long breath of qi, a low humming sound exploded within the Guiyi Miao.

"Six years of walking the martial way, from a mere skin-tempering martial practitioner to finally becoming a Grand Master of the Peak Three Flowers, from a frail mortal body to having reached today's limit of the mortal physique!"

Li Che felt a myriad of emotions, as if he had been separated from the world.

But soon, he let out a light laugh.

"Not enough."

"The realm of the Peak Three Flowers..."

It is not Li Che's limit, nor is it where he should stop.

Even if he breaks through to Martial Saint, there still await him the realm of the Four Openings: opening the human elixir, opening the qi sea, opening the mountain path, and opening the heavenly gate.

Therefore, he cannot remain content with the status quo!

Wishing to shield his wife and daughter, to protect the safety of his daughter who grows ever more outstanding and radiant...

Li Che must become ever stronger...

Think of danger while in safety!

Martial Saint is not even enough!

Boom!

Clenching his five fingers, inside his body, terrifying power surged and churned, continually rising, resonating with essence, qi, and spirit, the three flowers trembled, the power that had risen to its limit surged again.

Three-flowers vigorous energy coiled around his palm, extremely refined, containing the ultimate domineering power.

"Indeed... roughly as I guessed, the enhancement gained from breaking through to the Peak Three Flowers is actually not great, because my body has already been tempered and refined to the extreme, at the level of the mortal physique, there is nowhere left to advance."

"The increase is very limited, merely a slight boost from the allocation of three-flowers power; for the tempering of the flesh, there is not even a bit of improvement."

Li Che sensed his own condition, murmuring softly.

Of course, compared to before, there is indeed some improvement, but that is an improvement in the quality of vigorous energy; the three-flowers vigorous energy is ultimately somewhat stronger than the innate true vigorous energy.

But if Li Che were to unleash the explosive divine seed, this improvement would seem not too great.

"Upon entering the Three Flowers, I am already at the extreme of the Three Flowers."

"What is a Supreme Grand Master? It is the extreme of the mortal physique; above that... since the mortal physique can no longer ascend, that is what is supreme."

"And I am the true Supreme Grand Master!"

"Looks like it's time to start assaulting Martial Saint."

Because he had broken through to the realm of the Peak Three Flowers, the insignificant injuries in his five viscera and six bowels were directly repaired.

At this moment, Li Che's condition has already reached its peak.

And to assault Martial Saint, one indeed needs a perfect condition.

Martial Saint is inherently difficult; countless Grand Masters spend their lifetimes unable to break through the human elixir barrier, condense primordial vigorous energy, and step into Martial Saint.

The vast Lingnan Dao, spanning several prefectures, has countless martial practitioners numbering in the tens of thousands, with each prefecture containing multiple prefectures, yet across such a vast expanse, there are only a dozen or so Martial Saints.

Many Martial Saints are outsiders.

This suffices to show how difficult Martial Saint is!

Li Che, being in Qianyuan Dao City, sees Martial Saints everywhere, which is survivor bias; if a Martial Saint were to go to a prefecture, that would be enough to dominate everything.

Smelting Forge Masters, the five great Martial Saint supreme arts fusing the five viscera, opening the five great extraordinary divine seeds...

Li Che's martial way tempering has almost been tempered to the extreme.

Therefore, the present Li Che possesses a grand and surging spirit, bearing immense strong will and conviction, to assault Martial Saint.

Thus it is called, "to muster one's courage and press forward!"

Hummm—

With a movement of Li Che's body, each aperture seemed to become a vortex, gathering all his qi and blood.

Sensing the swiftly approaching presence, Li Che's black, vigorous hair lashed out, his five fingers clenched.

His entire person directly shifted and vanished within the Guiyi Miao.

The splendid light directly dimmed, the white candle flame returned to its normal flicker.

Only the statue of the Two Hearts Great Saint on the altar remained, the corners of its mouth bearing a smile.

Boom——!

Sword light raged splendidly.

Silver hair flew.

Lü Taibai surrounded by ethereal sword qi, together with Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia, stepped into the Guiyi Miao of the Two Hearts Great Saint.

Huh?

Nobody?!

He felt the incomparably tranquil Guiyi Miao of the Two Hearts Great Sage; not even a hint of qi and blood's qi mechanism was sensed.

Tang Xiejia and Gongshu Jingjun's faces instantly showed a strange expression.

"Did you see the weird?!"

"Could it be that the Two Hearts Great Sage is condensing the Three Flowers?!"

Tang Xiejia scratched his head, puzzled.

Lü Taibai's eyes flickered with surging sword qi, yet he said nothing.

His gaze swept over the entire Guiyi Miao, his thin lips lightly pursing.

"No……"

"Someone is breaking through, but they've just left."

Lü Taibai said lightly.

Inside the Guiyi Miao, the heaven and earth's spiritual qi had become extremely thin.

Even though a Guiyi Miao has descended into this world, even if wrapped in a Guiyi Que, it still needs to connect with this world, being nourished by the world's spiritual qi.

Lü Taibai's powerful heaven-man induction sensed the extremely thin spiritual qi, a hundred times thinner than that of a normal Guiyi Miao!

"Such a mysterious and unfathomable way of leaving."

"It seems likely a powerful being from the Netherworld."

Lü Taibai's words left Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia momentarily dazed.

"Netherworld?!"

They had also heard of the exploits of the Netherworld's Yama King; now they were extremely sensitive to the Netherworld as a force.

Suddenly, Gongshu Jingjun's pupils constricted.

"The Netherworld's myriad fiends cannot find their true identities within the Primordial Origin Dao City, nor their corresponding identities…"

"Now it seems, aside from the Netherworld's Cat-Face scoundrel, could the true forms of all the other fiends be hidden within the Guiyi Miao?!"

Gongshu Jingjun took a deep breath.

Lü Taibai's eyes flickered as he smiled: "Then again… it's possible."

"Otherwise, there's really no way to explain where those Netherworld people have hidden; the Su Clan, the Dao Lord's Manor, and the Corpse God Sect have dug three feet deep and still can't find them."

Lü Taibai shook his head: "To burst forth with such extreme Three Flowers, I don't know which Netherworld fiend broke through."

"Forget it, we'll meet sooner or later."

He glanced at the Guiyi Miao of the Two Hearts Great Sage.

He looked toward Gongshu Jingjun and Tang Xiejia.

"Let's spread the word: the Guiyi Miao of the Two Hearts Great Sage's Guiyi mist has settled… it can be opened, letting everyone enter the Guiyi Que to seek that Rand Heart Gold Iron Divine Staff."

"People seek divine weapons, and divine weapons also await a fated person."

……

……

Snow fell softly, the whole mountain a expanse of white jade.

While Lü Taibai and the others entered the Guiyi Miao of the Two Hearts Great Sage, Li Che had already chosen to move away.

He returned to the study in the elder's courtyard within the disciple city of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect.

Even Lü Taibai, a Divine Embryo Great God, could not enter the Guiyi Miao at great speed.

One must proceed step by step, opening the Guiyi mist and the Guiyi Que, before setting foot inside the Guiyi Miao.

If one forces entry, it would likely provoke the Guiyi Que to riot, sending the Guiyi mist soaring thousands of zhang high!

And Li Che had left his chess piece within the Guiyi Miao, so he had no such worries; wherever his Flying Thunder chess piece was, he could go!

Such a concept-level power derived from the Dao fruit, even the Guiyi Miao cannot block it.

Inside the study, the free-roaming painting immortal avatar that had been active outside for six days nodded at Li Che, then exploded into a black ink mist and vanished.

Li Che's ink robe embroidered with golden lotuses fluttered, his whole being refreshed and clear-headed.

Although he planned to assault the Martial Saint, he did not intend to try it immediately.

First, he would adjust his own state to perfection before speaking.

Creak.

Li Che walked out of the study.

He saw Old Lady Mu sitting under the eaves, enjoying the snow scenery.

He watched Nie Yang teaching Li Chengzhou in the courtyard.

Xixi had finished her birthday, only having a three-day holiday; once the holiday ended, Lü Taibai took her away to train, after all, the Flat Peach Assembly at Shendu, where all the major divine sects send their genius disciples to participate, was already approaching.

In a few more days, the Primordial Origin Divine Sect's prepared convoy might set out for Shendu.

Before the normal Flat Peach Assembly opens, the sect masters, disciples, and elders of all major divine sects will arrive a month in advance.

Lü Taibai actually intended for Xixi to complete the breakthrough from Divine Foundation to Divine Appearance before heading to Shendu.

Six-year-old Divine Appearance realm……

In the Flat Peach Assembly, it is indeed a rare occurrence.

At least, in the Fledgling Dragon Assembly, there would be a bit more competitiveness.

However, unfortunately, the Fledgling Dragon Assembly is limited to prodigies aged five to fifteen for competition and comparison.

Xixi's age is too young, ultimately not giving her much of an advantage.

Lü Taibai sending Xixi off is mostly just to let her see the world.

Plant your horse stance, raise the sword straight; though the sword is heavy, you must grow accustomed to it—once you are used to the heavy sword, wielding a light sword will leave no trace for you!

Think about the gap between you and Xixi! Xixi is about to break into the Divine Appearance realm, while you? You haven't even mastered sword intent! You still want to catch up to Xixi—mere passion isn't enough!

Nie Yang stood with his hands behind his back, constantly scolding.

Li Chengzhou's whole body was covered in thick snow, his horse stance planted, he gripped the black-iron heavy sword horizontally, his entire body trembling nonstop.

Uncle, aunt, and cousin's wife Liu Chunming stood under the eaves, burning a charcoal brazier, wrapped in thick cotton coats, full of heartache and worry as they watched Li Chengzhou, dressed only in thin robes, practicing his sword in the icy snow.

Ever since they learned that Nie Yang often instructed Li Chengzhou in the courtyard, Uncle and the others would frequently come to visit, so they could often see Li Chengzhou.

Although they were mundane, because of Li Che's exalted elder status, they could freely come and go in the divine sect.

Li Che stepped out of the house, and Nie Yang immediately looked over, his heart jolting.

Nie Yang's hairs stood on end; instantly, a mighty grandmaster's aura exploded, scattering countless snowflakes as it burst forth.

The three blossoms atop his head and shoulder blades flickered, yet they trembled incessantly.

Elder...

Nie Yang gasped heavily, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief to the utmost.

His sword intent...

was trembling!

As if facing a monster, he shuddered with terror!

Li Che blinked, his thought stirred, the Sleeping Dragon Elephant technique deployed, and he completely restrained his aura.

Carry on, I just carved a half-sacred divine eagle; I'm coming out for a breather.

Li Che said with a smile.

Nie Yang lowered his head, nodding respectfully.

Boom—!!

Suddenly.

The entire Qianyuan Dao City shuddered violently.

A mighty sword intent surged into the clouds, suddenly exploded, and then countless sword lights wreaked havoc, intertwining.

Lu Taibai's silver hair flew as he stood with hands behind his back amidst the sword light.

In five days, the Guiyi Miao of the Two-Hearted Great Sage, the Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey, will open; I have set the rules—everyone must obey. Upon opening, those at the level of Martial Saint and Divine Embryo, or one divine transformation cultivator may enter; those whose cultivation exceeds the rules shall be slain without mercy.

Innate grandmasters and above may also enter.

Lu Taibai's indifferent voice boomed like thunder across the entire Qianyuan Dao City.

Snowflakes were cut apart by sword qi; within his calm words lay a killing intent.

Li Che's eyes flickered.

In five days?

Five days of time...

That should be enough.

The Two-Hearted Great Sage's Guiyi Miao is about to open!

The opportunity of that Heart-following Golden Iron Divine Staff will be opened to all!

This news spread throughout the city within half a day, though it had been brewing for a year, and experts who had learned of it had already rushed here from all sides.

The Heart-following Golden Iron Divine Staff, famed worldwide due to a single deduction by the Grand Director of the Shendu Bureau of Astronomy, drew the attention of experts from all quarters.

After all, it is related to the Qiti Temple, a once grand power that dominated the world, naturally attracting the attention of experts from all sides.

Thus, many Dao cities and great divine sects have experts rushing here.

High winds blow rain into flying snow; old trees accumulate smoke into frozen clouds.

Outside Qianyuan Dao City.

On the official road.

A strikingly styled carriage, pulled by a wholly golden-yellow flood dragon horse, proceeds slowly, neither hurried nor leisurely.

The carriage features a glazed-tile canopy, flying eaves with upturned corners; each corner hangs a golden copper bell, and also a small Buddhist pendant.

As the carriage moves, the Buddhist pendant strikes the copper bells, emitting a muffled 'dong-dong-dong' sound.

The sound is heavy and resonant, like vast Buddhist tones, giving a feeling of cleansing the soul.

The carriage has no obstruction on all sides, yet hangs a golden silk curtain; inside sits a middle-aged monk wearing gold monastic robes and draped with a gold-embroidered kasaya, seated in lotus position.

The driver is a stalwart, robust monk, his qi and blood surging mighty.

The monk slowly opened his eyes, gazing toward the distant, magnificent, expansive city.

Qianyuan Dao City… we have arrived.

Once the flourishing land of divine eagles, where holy eagle masters emerged… now it has completely declined.

After hundreds of years, only a half-sacred divine eagle has appeared.

However, a twenty-five-year-old half-sacred divine eagle… might possibly revive the Qianyuan divine eagle.

A twenty-five-year-old half-sacred divine eagle shares a karmic bond with my Buddhist gate.

The monk said softly.

"Omito Buddha, the Buddha has sent me here; incidentally, I wish to see that Heart-following Golden Iron Divine Staff inside the Two-Hearted Great Sage's Guiyi Miao."

"The Two-Hearted Great Sage has taken refuge in my Buddhist gate; although his Guiyi Miao lies in Qianyuan, his divine weapon, however, ought to be returned to my Xiao Lingyin Temple."

"In five days, open the Two-Hearted Great Sage's Guiyi Miao."

"That is just right…"

In these five days, we will go to convert this Divine Eagle Master who has a karmic connection with my Small Spirit Sound Temple.

Let's go to the Divine Eagle Ridge of the Primordial Origin Divine Sect to see this Dao City's declining Divine Eagle world.

I will respectfully obey the Dharma Master's order.

……

……

Primordial Origin Dao City.

Listening Thunder Lane.

Independent Workshop Courtyard.

Li Che stood with his hands behind his back, eyes closed, head raised, standing still in the icy snowy world.

Snowflakes fell from the high sky, swirling around Li Che's surroundings as if locked in midair by an invisible force, unable to fall or dissipate.

Within Li Che's body, qi and blood slowly flowed, emitting a deafening roar.

With each inhale and exhale.

Each snowflake followed, flying outward and contracting inward.

As if Li Che were wrapped into a cocoon, throbbing with his breath.

One day passed in an instant.

After Li Che broke through to the Top Three Flowers realm, he began to organize and refine his martial path.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Streaming light flickered past before his eyes.

【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Golden Strength (lv5, 45%)】

Breaking from the Innate Grand Master of the Heaven-Man Unity realm to the Top Three Flowers Grand Master, condensing and blooming the three flowers only increased maturity by 5%, which is truly not much.

However, for Li Che, this was also good news.

Now, he has accumulated 15% of the Dao Fruit maturity's epiphany feedback, awaiting an assault on the Martial Saint realm!

Everyone says breaking through to Martial Saint is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Moreover, Li Che's ultimate flesh grand elixir under his Unparalleled Horizontal Training makes his Martial Saint breakthrough even more difficult!

But……

No matter how difficult, Li Che will ultimately try and assault……

One day.

Li Che fully mobilized his condition to the extreme!

No need to drag on any further.

Boom——!

Qi and blood burst forth; instantly, all snowflakes evaporated into rising mist, hazy and hazy, like immortal clouds and mist endlessly entwining, swirling around Li Che as if the eye of a hurricane stirring a vortex.

Amidst the howling gale, his aura trembled, his breath surged.

Li Che slowly took off the Golden Lotus Black Robe personally sewn by his wife Zhang Ya, and put on elastic black clothing.

The tight black clothing clung to his body, outlining his perfect musculature.

Li Che slowly stretched his bones and muscles, his spine stacked, resembling a ferocious devil!

"I broke through the Top Three Flowers, but the Three Flowers phenomena cannot be restrained……"

"If I break through to Martial Saint, the commotion will surely be greater."

"It will surely draw the Martial Saint Tribulation Lightning, the Heaven-Earth Tribulation Lightning; that is the only thing on the Heaven-Earth Chessboard that cannot be blocked or shielded."

"So, we should choose a place for the breakthrough."

In Li Che's gaze, golden smoke condensed like agarwood.

"Where is a blessed land that can help me ascend to Martial Saint?"
