193: The terrifying amplification of the Three Flowers, the defense-breaking Three Pure Ones.

"Phew~ Finally done!"

At the same time, Li Yun's tightly closed eyes quietly opened.

Feeling the fluctuations coming from the Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit above his head, he let out a sigh of relief, a knowing smile appearing on his face.

Success!

After going through so much and searching for so many treasures, he had finally completed his Three Flowers Gather at the Crown.

Moreover, it was a twelve-grade Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, which was the absolute limit for a Cultivator. Even the Chaos Demon Gods of old were limited to this level, or might not have even reached it.

According to the records within the Slaughter Demon God's Legacy, the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown of Chaos Demon Gods were innate, generally at the tenth-grade, eleventh-grade, or in rare cases, the twelfth-grade stage.

However, Chaos Demon Gods who could reach twelve-grade for all Three Flowers to complete the Count of Thirty-Six Heavenly Cycles were practically non-existent, as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.

Now that he had successfully perfected the twelve-grade Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit and completed the number of lotuses for the thirty-six Heavenly Cycles technique, his own limits in the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm had been pushed to the absolute extreme.

To put it bluntly, at the same Realm, not many of the former Chaos Demon Gods would be a match for him.

At this thought, the smile on Li Yun's face grew even wider. If the Sanqing weren't here, he would have wanted to roar at the sky.

"Fellow Daoist Li Yun~"

At this moment, Laozi stepped forward, his eyes burning as he stared at the twelve-grade Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit and asked, "How does it feel?"

"The boost from the twelve-grade Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit must be enormous, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yuanshi and Tongtian also stepped forward, looking at Li Yun curiously.

Their hearts were also filled with curiosity regarding the situation of the twelve-grade Three Flowers Gather at the Crown.

"It is indeed enormous!"

Coming back to his senses, Li Yun glanced at the Sanqing and the others who were looking at him expectantly, and then said without hesitation, "According to my estimation, the eleventh-grade Three Flowers is a fifty-fold increase over the tenth-grade, while the twelfth-grade Three Flowers is a hundred-fold increase over the eleventh-grade."

"Based on this estimation, the Three Fellow Daoists should be able to understand the magnitude of the gap, right?"

Fifty times!

A hundred times!

Hearing this, the Sanqing's pupils constricted, and waves of shock surged within their hearts.

If what Li Yun said was true, then the twelve-grade Three Flowers was a hundred-fold increase on top of the fifty-fold increase over the tenth-grade Three Flowers they currently possessed.

He might be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But in reality, with the support of such a Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit, Li Yun possessed combat power at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level; in fact, ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals likely wouldn't be his match.

At this thought, Tongtian gave a somewhat bitter smile and said, "Good grief, it's actually increased by that much!"

"Had I known this earlier, I wouldn't have been satisfied with just the tenth-grade Three Flowers back then!"

Laozi and Yuanshi both nodded at these words.

But they knew very well in their hearts that this was essentially impossible.

Back then, they were already ecstatic to break their shackles and advance to the tenth-grade Three Flowers; how could they have had any other thoughts or ideas?

Even if they did, they lacked the information and intelligence at the time, and they couldn't have searched for a lotus at the level of a top-grade innate spiritual root to use as a medium for sacrifice like Li Yun did.

Even less could they have comprehended the Yin-Yang Law, Five Elements Law, and Qiankun Law like Li Yun to integrate them into the Three Flowers, perfecting the gestation and condensation of the final grade.

Thinking of this, the Sanqing looked at each other, and then Laozi asked, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, you are now at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection and have perfected the twelve-grade Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit. Doesn't that mean you must now patiently prepare for the baptism of the Twelve Tribulations?"

"If that's the case, then regarding our trip to the East Sea..."

"No rush!"

Though I have advanced to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, I have only just reached it," Li Yun explained with a wave of his hand, understanding Laozi's meaning.

"The descent of the Twelve Tribulations will still take ten thousand years; it won't happen anytime soon. It's better to head to the East Sea and join the excitement."

"That's good then!"

Receiving Li Yun's affirmative answer, the Sanqing also breathed a sigh of relief.

With ten thousand years left, there really was no need to be in a hurry.

At this thought, Yuanshi asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Li Yun, I'm very curious—where did you get that twelve-grade creation azure lotus?"

"When it appeared just now, I actually felt that this object was destined for me, and I even felt a certain restlessness in my heart. It's simply incredible~"

Hearing this, Laozi and Tongtian were also stunned.

They looked at each other and said, "I have that feeling too!"

"Big Brother, you too?"

"Third Brother, you as well?"

Looking at the Sanqing staring at each other in bewilderment, Li Yun remained calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

For no other reason than that he knew exactly why the Sanqing felt that way.

If he hadn't intercepted it, this twelve-grade creation azure lotus really would have been destined for the Sanqing. Barring any accidents, it would have been divided by them into the Red Flower Shoulder Pole, the White Lotus Root Jade Ruyi, and the Azure Lotus Leaf Qingping Sword!

But unfortunately, this item belonged to him, and it had already been absorbed by his Heaven Flower to become one of its Origins. Consequently, it was impossible for the Sanqing to obtain the creation green lotus.

Thinking of this, Li Yun didn't hide anything and said, "Years ago, I encountered a Lesser Witch in Mount Buzhou who had been heavily injured and was on the verge of death by the Cultivator King Pan."

"Afterward, I went to the Witch Clan to deliver the message for that Lesser Witch and led the Ancestral Witches to the area where King Pan was to annihilate him. This twelve-grade creation azure lotus is what I obtained there."

"As the Three Fellow Daoists know, the Witch Clan lacks Primordial Spirits and doesn't care for such things, so I was able to obtain it smoothly, and it became one of my trump cards."

Speaking to this point, Li Yun sighed, feigning helplessness. "Unfortunately, to perfect the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, I have already absorbed it. From now on, the twelve-grade creation azure lotus no longer exists. Even the grade of any lotuses bred from its seeds would be insufficient and wouldn't reach a very high level."

After hearing Li Yun's account, the Sanqing suddenly realized.

To be honest, they also hadn't expected the creation green lotus to be obtained in such a manner.

But recalling how Li Yun had confidently headed to the Witch Clan back then—at that time, they weren't quite sure why—it now seemed it was because he was delivering a message for that dying Lesser Witch. That's why he was so certain the Ancestral Witches wouldn't do anything to him.

He even used that incident to establish a connection with the Ancestral Witches, making his relationship with the Witch Clan and the Ancestral Witches close. The subsequent benefits he received were enough to make countless Cultivators green with envy.

At this thought, the Sanqing lost the desire to continue questioning him.

After exchanging a look, Laozi spoke, "Since Fellow Daoist's Three Flowers Crowned Dao Fruit has been condensed, we won't delay any longer."

"Yuanshi, Tongtian, go and see if the Five-Needle Pine is ready."

"If everything is prepared, we'll set off directly for the East Sea Region to join the excitement."

"Moreover, the East Sea Dragon Clan has been quite active lately; it's a good time to go and see exactly what's happening~"
