18: Breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal

The Innate Wutong Tree was deeply rooted in the Ley Lines of the Immortal Volcano, absorbing the power of the earth.

Dao rhymes emerged, divine light shone brilliantly, and Green Wood Spiritual Qi swirled around.

Qing Wu was attempting to break through to the Grand Unity realm, condensing his own Dao Fruit.

After his previous discussion on the Dao with Five Elements and Yin and Yang, he had gained a broader understanding of the Primordial World.

Within the Primordial World, there existed the Dao of the Chaos Gods and Demons.

Similarly, there would certainly exist the Dao of Qing Wu.

A person who had died once before still harbored such an ultimate pursuit of the Great Dao.

As a Supreme-Grade Acquired Spiritual Root born within the Primordial World, a true native being of the Primordial, how could he not work hard?

Of course, this was only part of the reason.

Another part of the reason was... Yuan Feng had already successfully broken through to the Grand Unity realm not long ago.

This undoubtedly put her ahead of him once again.

As expected of a child of Luck born to meet the tribulation, such a speed of improvement put a bit of pressure on Qing Wu.

He felt that after her Breakthrough, the way this little girl looked at him had changed somewhat.

From time to time, she would cast a glance his way, as if reminding him that he should work hard to improve his cultivation.

If he didn't work hard, he would be ridden over by Yuan Feng.

The preparations were almost complete.

Subsequently, Qing Wu adjusted his state and began preparing for the Breakthrough.

Qing Wu operated his mana with all his might, constantly impacting the shackles between the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Slowly, the shackles began to loosen, and his aura rose by another level.

Rising step by step, the shackles also gradually became transparent; Qing Wu seemed to have already seen where his Dao Fruit lay.

Another full-force impact.

Buzz!

Only a loud boom was heard, and Qing Wu felt his consciousness being infinitely stretched, exiting his body.

A river, indistinct between reality and illusion, appeared before his eyes.

Although it was his first time seeing this river, the realizations in his heart allowed Qing Wu to instantly understand.

This was the River of Time of this world.

Although it was said that from the Golden Immortal realm onward, one could achieve immortality and exist forever with time.

One could still encounter schemes from outside of time.

Only by achieving the Grand Unity realm and gathering time fragments could one prove oneself as the unique existence in time and space.

Even if one accidentally fell, they could return once again from within the endless flow of time.

Having been informed in advance by Five Elements and Yin and Yang, and with Yuan Feng having broken through before him.

Qing Wu already knew how to face this Great Dao of Time.

He attempted to reflect all of his true spirits from within the River of Time.

Upon countless branches, innumerable cyan-green points of light floated up.

Qing Wu traveled up the River of Time, collecting them one by one.

He himself became more of a Perfection along with this process.

Continuing upward, Qing Wu seemed more and more able to glimpse the scenery at the end of the River of Time.

Just then, a towering figure stood before him, holding a massive Heaven-Opening Axe, seemingly seeing through the entire Great Dao of Time with a single glance.

Just by making eye contact, Qing Wu felt a deep sense of pressure.

Since the Underlying Code did not allow him to pry into that level of secrets, then he simply wouldn't go courting death.

Such an existence was not something he could fathom at his current level.

In a daze, the scene before Qing Wu's eyes gradually faded, and he had already withdrawn from the River of Time.

The aura at his fingertips had become even more dense.

The Breakthrough was successful!

Just as Qing Wu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt the Dao Flower atop his head beginning to bloom.

Qing Wu quickly focused his mind, channeling all his mana to attempt to make his Dao Flower bloom.

One petal, two petals... all the way to the eighth petal, the process was very smooth.

The moment the ninth petal of the Dao Flower bloomed, the entire Immortal Volcano suddenly shook violently.

The Fire Spiritual Qi within the Ley Lines resonated mysteriously with Qing Wu’s Green Wood Dao rhyme, turning into countless cyan and red points of light that surged into the Dao Flower.

As the tenth petal slowly unfurled, Seven-colored Auspicious Clouds suddenly descended from the sky, and the faint sound of the Great Dao echoed.

"Not enough..." Qing Wu gritted his teeth, the Qing Wu Origin within his body surging wildly.

He thought of the world-shaking scene of the eleven-petaled Dao Flower when Yuan Feng broke through, and a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

No matter what, he couldn't be worse than Yuan Feng.

With a long cry, the eleventh petal finally bloomed with difficulty; the entire Dao Flower suddenly tripled in size, vacuuming the Spiritual Qi for ten million miles around.

Just as Qing Wu breathed a long sigh of relief, a green leaf suddenly flew out from between his brows.

On it was exactly the Mark bestowed by the Great Dao years ago.

At this moment, this Mark emitted a supreme golden light, which actually contained a trace of blessing from the Great Dao.

The leaf slowly descended, and this Great Dao Mark also merged into the core of the Dao Flower.

Under its stimulation, that final petal actually began to slowly unfold at this moment.

Facing this sudden surprise, Qing Wu was momentarily motionless.

The Great Dao has finally set its sights on me, but it seems to be a good thing.

The thought flashed by, and Qing Wu, coming to his senses, didn't have time for joy; he once again gathered all his mana and began to urge the next petal of the Dao Flower to bloom.

He was extremely careful during this process, not daring to have even the slightest distraction.

That Dao Flower was also slowly unfurling.

The moment the twelve-petaled Dao Flower fully bloomed, the entire world fell silent.

The phenomena of heaven and earth suddenly changed, and thousands of exotic colors cascaded down.

The surprise in Qing Wu's heart was also difficult to suppress.

It's done!

The Dao Flower displayed a unique cyan-gold bicolor, with dao patterns of Wood and Fire generating each other naturally engraved on the petals.

A crystalline Dao Fruit floated at the stamen, and inside, a miniature Innate Qing Wu was faintly visible, its roots plunging into the Void Realm, with the phantom of the River of Time flowing among its branches and leaves.

The aura gradually retracted, and the phenomena also slowly faded.

As the final halo merged into his body, Wutong slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils had turned cyan-gold; wherever his gaze fell, plants grew wildly and then withered in an instant.

The golden light between heaven and earth retracted into Qing Wu's body, instantly broadening his entire field of vision.

From now on, he was also a genuine Grand Unity powerhouse.

The Ley Lines of the Immortal Volcano were exceptionally active at this moment, with countless red-gold points of light rising from the lava rivers, forming a massive shadow of a Wutong Tree in the air.

The entire volcano seemed to have come alive, expressing its joy with the booming vibrations of the Ley Lines.

The beings that had once been enlightened by Qing Wu manifested one after another, kneeling devoutly toward the mountain peak.

At this time, Yuan Feng, who had been watching from the clouds, also descended, staring at Qing Wu for a long while as if she had never seen anything so novel.

She reached out her hand to count whether the Dao Flower atop Qing Wu's head really had twelve petals.

Qing Wu was both annoyed and amused.

"It's time to go out for a walk!"

Now that both he and Yuan Feng had attained the Grand Unity realm, they could be considered top-tier powerhouses in the current Primordial World.

As long as they did not easily become entangled in great Karma to avoid entering the tribulation.

The opportunities of this Primordial World were all waiting for them to strive for.

Yuan Feng became slightly serious upon hearing this, her two eyes lighting up.
