Chapter 14: Peak of Daluo, Nine-Rank Flowers Blooming, Supreme Innate Divine Sacred Form!
Numb!
Completely numb!
Jieyin and Zhunti's eyelids twitched slightly, and they felt deep disbelief.
You must know, just resisting Pangu's pressure here has already consumed most of their strength.
Chen Ku... how can he still have the strength to break through?!
Moreover, in Jieyin and Zhunti's view, this place also lacks the conditions for Chen Ku to break through.
The killing aura is denser than the spiritual aura, and the latter isn't even a Wu Clan being—could it possibly rely on killing aura for cultivation?!
They both thought so.
But right after, the scene that would drop their jaws truly unfolded.
Spiritual and killing aura converged, flowing into the same figure!
If any other mighty being were present, they would surely cry out 'Madness!'
Even a Wu Clan powerhouse would have their jaw drop.
After all, this is a feat unparalleled in eternity.
Ordinary cultivators merely absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual aura into their bodies, turning it into rolling mana that circulates to raise their cultivation.
And the Wu Clan merely absorb the killing aura filling the sky to temper their flesh.
Yet no one has ever been able to accommodate these two utterly different, even opposed, auras—killing and spiritual—within the body, achieving a delicate balance.
A single misstep could perhaps result in bodily explosion and death.
However, this is the heaven-defying might of the Hunyuan True Scripture.
Dual cultivation of law and body—it can be called terrifying!
And Jieyin and Zhunti were already completely dumbfounded.
Their expressions were somewhat twisted, staring at Chen Ku as if they'd seen a ghost.
By this point, they didn't know what to say.
After regaining their senses, they could only hurriedly stand guard for Chen Ku, ensuring his breakthrough went smoothly.
Under the simultaneous infusion of killing and spiritual aura, Chen Ku's aura rose steadily, advancing all the way.
Chen Ku sensed something, his eyes lighting up.
"Haha, are you about to break through?!?"
"If so, let's see what realm this breakthrough will reach!"
He was full of confidence, his gaze resolute to the extreme.
With the three great techniques united in the Hunyuan True Scripture's operation, Chen Ku sensed that this breakthrough might be unprecedentedly great.
As his words fell, three flowers condensed above his head, bursting with immortal radiance, blazing and dazzling.
Faintly, an illusion of a Great Dao Golden Lotus appeared, vast and peerless, covering the sky and earth, shedding endless divine radiance that enveloped Chen Ku's fleshly body.
Mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
The shackles of a minor realm were nothing to Chen Ku at this moment.
In just a brief moment, his aura shifted suddenly, and he leapt into the mid-stage Daluo realm in one go.
But above Chen Ku's head, the filling spiritual and killing aura showed no weakening, continuing to pour down endlessly.
The Hunyuan True Scripture also ran wildly, converting every inhaled aura into part of his own cultivation.
Then!
After another span of time for a cup of tea, Chen Ku advanced further, directly reaching the late-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.
But this wasn't the end.
Chen Ku's aura continued to surge wildly, step by step advancing toward the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Beside them, Jieyin and Zhunti stared, mouths agape.
No way?!
At the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, consecutive breakthroughs were already acceptable!
Can even a Daluo Golden Immortal do that?!
You must know, even back then they advanced step by step; often a minor realm's rise required hundreds of thousands of years.
But before Jieyin and Zhunti could marvel at Chen Ku's rapid rise,
the next scene immediately drew their gaze again.
Nothing else!
As Chen Ku's three-flower cultivation rose, Jieyin and Zhunti clearly saw that the three flowers atop his head had actually blossomed to the eighth rank.
By ordinary standards, this sight wouldn't be all that shocking for Jieyin and Zhunti.
When Chen Ku first broke through to Daluo Golden Immortal, he had already manifested such a phenomenon.
But what astonished Jieyin and Zhunti was.
At this moment, after the existing eighth-rank blossoms, a ninth-rank flower slowly emerged.
Although it appeared extremely illusory at this time, it was already enough to make Jieyin and Zhunti pay close attention.
Could it be… that Chen Ku's three flowers still have room to rise?!
They exchanged a glance, seeing the shock in each other's eyes, yet said nothing more, continuing to hold their breath and focus.
Only see, the divine radiance above Chen Ku's head grew ever brighter, illuminating a radius of thousands of miles.
Rosy light shone brightly, auspicious colors gushed forth, like the heavens bursting open!
Under such an astonishing phenomenon, Chen Ku's three flowers continued to evolve.
Not long after, the ninth rank finally manifested, and streams of aura flowed into it, making it more substantial, no longer illusory.
In a short moment, Chen Ku again raised one grade!
Above the three flowers, auspicious clouds tens of thousands of mu high hung, shining brightly, mysterious and yet more mysterious, miraculous and beyond words.
But Jieyin and Zhunti did not withdraw their gaze; the two still stared fixedly at the scene above Chen Ku's head.
Since one can rise to the ninth grade,
Then… is the tenth grade possible?!
And it seemed to be in order to confirm their expectations.
At one moment, after the ninth grade, the tenth grade actually emerged.
However, it appeared even more illusory, and vanished in an instant.
No matter how Jieyin and Zhunti investigated, they could no longer see it!
Finally, Jieyin and Zhunti sighed in relief and slowly withdrew their gaze.
The tenth grade did not emerge, but for now it was enough to surprise the two of them.
The flower opens at the ninth grade?
What concept is this?!
At this point, Chen Ku had completely reached the same level as Jieyin and Zhunti.
Top-tier innate divine saintly appearance!
Although it was already known that Chen Ku's talent was outstanding and his background extraordinary.
But witnessing all this firsthand still left Jieyin and Zhunti dumbfounded, completely speechless.
Monster!
Undoubtedly a monster!
Fortunately, having broken through to this point, Chen Ku's aura gradually stabilized.
Finally, it came to a complete stop at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak, the level of the flower opening at the ninth grade.
Heavenly phenomena gradually faded, and Chen Ku's three flowers above his head became concealed.
He leisurely awoke, feeling that his internal mana strength had surged by more than dozens of times, and couldn't help but smile.
"Great Luo Peak? Haha, great!"
This time, it's truly a huge profit!
In one fell swoop he raised three minor realms, and the Quasi-Saint realm was only half a step away.
Moreover, Chen Ku differs greatly from other Great Luo Peak cultivators.
Under dual cultivation of law and body, even when facing an ordinary Quasi-Saint expert, he is not lacking at all.
Besides, Chen Ku's laughter also startled Jieyin and Zhunti.
"One fell swoop directly reaching Great Luo Peak!"
"You brat, just how many hidden cards do you still have, unknown to us?"
Zhunti said this with a strange expression, and can even be said to still have lingering fear.
After all, Chen Ku's earlier breakthrough like that was indeed too frightening.
Jieyin likewise still had a look of shock, looking at Chen Ku, he exclaimed:
"Disciple, your physical body seems somewhat overly strong!"
"According to my understanding, compared to the Wu Clan's physical body, it's probably not lacking at all."
Jieyin sized up Chen Ku's body from head to toe, clearly sensing that the latter emitted astonishing physical strength.
One would think that at this time, Chen Ku could even bare-handedly clash with an innate spiritual treasure and it would be no problem.
And such a matchlessly strong physical body, Jieyin had only seen such in the Wu Clan.
Hearing Jieyin and Zhunti's words, Chen Ku was startled.
This breakthrough, however, was somewhat too high-profile.
Thus, giving an embarrassed smile, he merely responded jokingly:
"Hehe, this isn't all thanks to the teachings of my master and master-uncle, is it?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhunti rolled his eyes greatly.
This remark, indeed, is somewhat too high for them.
However, it actually turned out to be quite useful for them.
And Jieyin, seeing Chen Ku unwilling to say more, did not pursue the matter further, merely changing his expression and then said:
"Disciple, you are already at the cultivation level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Peak."
"Next, I will teach you the Three Corpses Slaying Method, so that you may enter the Quasi-Saint realm sooner."
Not bad!
After the Great Luo, one needs the Three Corpses Slaying Method to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.
Who would have thought, upon hearing this, Chen Ku shook his head.
"Master, the Three Corpses Slaying Method is not urgent."
"Right now we are in Mount Buzhou; seeking opportunity is important."
In fact, just after waking up earlier, Chen Ku's mind had also been thinking about this.
For him, slaying the three corpses is not difficult; indeed, it can be said that in a single thought he can break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.
But he is very clear that this path is not easy to walk.
If one cultivates the Three Corpses Slaying Method, one needs a spiritual root that shares the same origin as oneself, and only then can one later reunite the three corpses, hoping to prove the Dao and attain Hunyuan.
As for why the Six Saints are able to prove the Dao, it is not due to the union of the three corpses, but because of the Primordial Purple Qi.
Furthermore, limited by the laws of heaven and earth, slaying the three corpses is easy, but reuniting the three corpses is extremely difficult.
Thus, Chen Ku did not rush to slay the three corpses and break through to Quasi‑Saint; he would wait until later to make plans, which was also not too late.
Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Jieyin and Zhunti were startled, then they also nodded.
This Mount Buzhou was ultimately not their territory; upon finding an opportunity, leaving first was indeed more suitable.
No longer speaking, Chen Ku relied on his keen innate perception and continued searching.
Not long after, his expression shifted and he felt another sensation!
