Hong Huang: I am Kong Xuan, the first person above the saints

Chapter 50: Zixiao Palace Part : Nine-Rank Dao Flower
The Dao rhyme emanating from the Zixiao Palace was even stronger than last time. When a group of great powers from the ancient times arrived at the Zixiao Palace, they immediately immersed themselves in the comprehension of the Dao rhyme.

Kong Xuan and Tongtian arrived not too late, but not too early either, as many powerful people from the ancient times had already arrived first.

Outside the Zixiao Palace, Haotian and Yaochi were still standing.

Thirty thousand years later, both of them have broken through to the early stage of Daluo Jinxian.

Unlike last time, Kong Xuan was not stopped this time.

What Kong Xuan didn't know was that his appearance had caused a serious psychological blow to Haotian.

This breakthrough to the Daluo Jinxian made Haotian regain his confidence. He thought he was no weaker than Kong Xuan, but it turned out that Kong Xuan was already in the late Daluo Jinxian, far ahead of him.

You should know that when Kong Xuan first came to Zixiao Palace, which was 30,000 years ago, their cultivation levels were the same, both of them had reached the perfect level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In Zixiao Palace, Tongtian's arrival brought Laozi and Yuanshi back to their senses from enlightenment. Seeing that Tongtian came with Kong Xuan, both of them looked unhappy.

"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, I will leave first. We can discuss the Dao together later." Tongtian Dao.

Kong Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, walked straight to his seat, and closed his eyes to meditate.

Time passed slowly, and one day, with the ringing of a bell, everyone came back to their senses at the same time.

On the Taoist platform, Hongjun had already been sitting cross-legged there, and his entire body seemed to have completely merged into the void. If one only used divine senses, one would not be able to detect his existence at all.

"This time I will talk about the Way of Quasi-Saints. This is the method of enlightenment that I created, and it is also the key to becoming a saint."

Hongjun's voice was cold and machine-like, but no one cared. Everyone was attracted by the content of Hongjun's words.

To attain enlightenment and become holy is what all the living beings present here desire.

Hongjun did not keep the secret this time and said directly: "The quasi-saint slaying the three corpses is the key to the quasi-saint path.

The so-called three corpses are the good corpse, the evil corpse, and the holding corpse.

A good corpse comes from the good thoughts in the heart; an evil corpse comes from the evil thoughts in the heart; and an obsessive corpse comes from the obsessive thoughts in the heart."

"Only by killing the three corpses can one see one's true nature and gain a glimpse of the path to sainthood. However, this path is difficult and requires great perseverance, wisdom, and opportunity..."

Hongjun first briefly described the beheading of the three corpses, and then said: "But before you can behead the three corpses, there is still one step to complete, and that is the gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head.

The Daluo Jinxian has a special realm called the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

The three flowers are the flowers of essence, energy and spirit, also known as the flowers of Tao. They can carry the great laws of the innate spiritual treasures, and can also entrust one's own obsession with good and evil. They are the key to beheading the three corpses.

The three flowers also have different grades, the lowest is the third grade, and the highest is the ninth grade..."

Following Hongjun's guidance, everyone who had already reached Daluo Perfection began to condense the Three Flowers.

Of course, those who have not reached the perfection of Daluo Jinxian are also trying.

The reason why the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head is said to be a special realm is that as long as one's cultivation reaches the level of the Golden Immortal of Great Luo, one can begin to have the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. It does not mean that only those who have reached the perfection of the Golden Immortal of Great Luo can begin to have the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

Of course, normally, one would wait until the Daluo Golden Immortal is perfect before starting to condense the Three Flowers, because the quality of the Three Flowers condensed in this way would be higher.

Those who had not reached the level of Daluo Jinxian just tried it and soon gave up. Their eyes were all looking towards the front of Zixiao Palace, at the six people on the Tiandao cushion.

With the help of the Tiandao Futon, the six people's understanding was magnified.

Soon, Laozi was the first to condense the three flowers: the ninth grade of the Flower of the Way of God, the eighth grade of the Flower of the Way of Essence and the Flower of the Way of Qi.

Yuanshi followed closely behind, but his three Taoist flowers were all of the eighth grade.

After that, it was Tongtian. He actually had a ninth-grade Dao Flower of God like Laozi, and the remaining Dao Flowers of Essence and Qi were eighth-grade, which made Yuanshi look unhappy. Then something happened that made Yuanshi look even uglier. Nuwa and Jieyin also had one ninth-grade Dao Flower and two eighth-grade Dao Flowers, but Zhunti had three eighth-grade Dao Flowers like him.

Among the six heavenly cushions, he was clearly inferior to Zhunti.

Seeing this result, Laozi's face also changed slightly. He was the first one to condense the ninth-grade Dao Flower, so he naturally knew the difficulty of condensing the ninth-grade Dao Flower.

He originally thought that he was the only one in the entire Zixiao Palace who could condense a ninth-grade Dao flower, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

After that, no other great Daluo Jinxian who had reached perfection appeared who could condense a ninth-grade Dao flower, and even condensing three eighth-grade Dao flowers was rare. Instead, the number of those who could condense seventh- and sixth-grade Dao flowers gradually increased.

Seeing this, Yuanshi's expression looked a little better.

“Even the innate saints can only condense seventh-grade and eighth-grade Dao flowers. I’m afraid we can only condense fifth-grade and sixth-grade Dao flowers.” A great prehistoric powerful man in the late Daluo Jinxian period sighed.

"Who says it's not true? It will probably be difficult for seventh-grade and eighth-grade Dao flowers to appear in the future." Another late-stage Daluo Jinxian said.

After all, the innate sacred beings have basically reached the perfection of the Golden Immortal, and have successfully condensed the Tao flower.

But at this moment, a strange fluctuation startled everyone.

Almost at the same time, everyone looked towards the corner of Zixiao Palace, and in an instant, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

In the corner of Zixiao Palace, above Kong Xuan’s head, first the scarlet flower of the Dao of Essence bloomed, which was the ninth grade; then the silvery-white flower of the Dao of Qi bloomed, which was also the ninth grade; and finally the purple-gold flower of the Dao of God, which was the ninth grade.

In an instant, the entire Zixiao Palace was illuminated, and everyone looked at Kong Xuan in shock.

The Zixiao Palace suddenly fell silent.

With three ninth-grade Taoist flowers, he is definitely the best in Zixiao Palace, crushing the Three Pure Ones and others.

Even Hongjun's eyes flashed with a strange look at this moment.

Three illusory ninth-grade Taoist flowers bloomed above Kong Xuan's head and slowly solidified. This was the final step in condensing the Taoist flowers.

But just when the three ninth-grade Taoist flowers were about to completely solidify, they suddenly shattered.

The three ninth-grade Taoist flowers shattered without any warning and dissipated into rain of light.

For a moment, everyone was confused.

Among so many powerful people who tried to condense Dao Flowers just now, Kong Xuan was the only one who failed.

“Hmph! He must have tried to forcibly condense the Ninth-Rank Dao Flower, but his foundation was insufficient, thus leading to failure.” Donghuang Taiyi snorted coldly.

“That’s right. You even want to condense three ninth-grade Taoist flowers. You really don’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.” Yuanshi also nodded.

"So that's it..."

Kong Xuan didn't care about the discussions of the crowd at all. The reason for his failure was not because of insufficient foundation as Donghuang Taiyi said, but because he gave up on his own initiative at the last moment.

Because Kong Xuan knew very well that the limit of Dao Flower was not the ninth grade, but the twelfth grade.

Hongjun, he deceived everyone.

The ninth-grade Dao flower is not his limit.

His current cultivation level is only at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, and his Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Gong still has a lot of room for improvement.
