What I teach you is real stuff.

For such a long time, Jiang Ming only did one thing: to study Buddhism and understand the things in the Buddhist scriptures.

Although it was indeed incredibly difficult at the beginning, with Buddhist scriptures being obscure and hard to understand, Jiang Ming had no shortage of perseverance and persistence.

After a long period of study, and even through hands-on practice, to understand and enter the mind of the Buddha who created the Buddhist scriptures, he has finally achieved something.

The Immortal Realm is a large plane, and the flow of time in the Immortal Realm is extremely difficult to change. Unlike in lower planes, the flow of time cannot be adjusted to be ten or even dozens of times different from real time.

Time in the Immortal Realm is locked by the Great Dao and is difficult to adjust. At most, the time flow can be adjusted to a 2:1 ratio. Therefore, when Jiang Ming cultivates in his cave, time is only twice as long as outside.

While the outside world has witnessed five thousand years of change, he has actually been comprehending Buddhist teachings for ten thousand years.

It took him ten thousand years to finally reach the Bodhisattva level in Buddhist practice, but time is no longer an obstacle for Jiang Ming now.

As one's cultivation level increases, one's lifespan becomes virtually limitless after achieving immortality; the only thing that can affect one's lifespan is the Three Calamities.

However, Jiang Ming is still far from the Three Calamities, so he doesn't need to worry about those. Therefore, he has devoted a lot of time to cultivating the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. Now he has finally reached the threshold of cultivation and can officially cultivate the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.

He began his cultivation, and his aura continued to strengthen. He gradually came to use the Buddhist golden body.

On the other side, in Little Yellow's cave, Little Yellow's aura grew stronger and stronger.

Over thousands of years, Xiao Huang's dual immortal skills have become increasingly profound, and the Great Celestial Immortal Technique only revealed its true power after he arrived in the Immortal Realm.

After thousands of years of arduous cultivation, Xiao Huang's cultivation level broke through realms one after another, reaching the peak of Taiyi True Immortal during his seclusion.

He is now at the peak of the Xuanxian realm, a half-step Taiyi Xuanxian.

Furthermore, Xiao Huang's current true combat strength definitely surpasses that of an ordinary Taiyi Xuanxian.

Inside the Little Yellow Cave, he opened his eyes and glanced at his current cultivation level.

"I am not far from becoming a true Taiyi Xuanxian. In a thousand years at most, I will be able to officially break through to this realm. After breaking through to Taiyi Xuanxian, I will not need to be too afraid of encountering a Golden Immortal. Unless it is the strongest among the Golden Immortals, it will be difficult for anyone to suppress me."

Xiao Huang took a look at his current strength.

Xiao Huang was right there when those two Buddhist bodhisattvas came to bully them.

However, at that time he was unable to protect his junior brother. This feeling of powerlessness arose when he faced Lu Huo of the Chan Sect in the Azure Heaven World.

As the senior disciple of the sect, Xiao Huang shared the same mindset as Lu Yuan.

Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei... including Golden Horn King, Wu Song and the others, are all disciples of the Daluo Sect. According to the seniority within the sect, they are all his junior brothers.

When his junior brother was humiliated and bullied in front of him, Xiao Huang, as the senior brother, was right there but powerless to do anything about it. Naturally, he felt terrible.

Therefore, he understood that once he arrived in the Immortal Realm, he needed to work even harder, just like he had in the Azure Heaven World, to protect his junior brothers. So, after Jiang Ming and his teacher went into seclusion, he also chose to rapidly improve his cultivation.

At the very least, we must prevent what happened before from happening again.

Xiao Huang is now feeling the immortal power within his body, which has expanded a hundredfold.

If it were now, if those bald Buddhist monks dared to come, Xiao Huang would cripple them with two punches. The current Xiao Huang is no match for ordinary Taiyi Xuanxian.

However, being a half-step Taiyi Xuanxian was not enough for him, so he chose to continue advancing to become a true Taiyi Xuanxian.

……

In the Sacred Ruins Grotto-Heaven, Lu Yuan's aura was extremely powerful; he had been in seclusion for many years.

The incident with the Buddhist bodhisattva last time not only taught Xiao Huang a lesson, but also served as a warning to Lu Yuan.

As his disciples gain fame in the immortal realm, more and more people will come looking for trouble in the future. Although his disciples can usually handle things on their own, if they encounter a situation they can't resolve, then he, their teacher, will have to step in.

In the Immortal Realm, there are many powerful beings, and the pressure from all sides is immense. If he were to truly provoke a powerful figure from a major force, whether he could cover his tracks would be entirely up to his teacher.

Therefore, Lu Yuan undoubtedly bears the heaviest responsibility. So, since the last incident, Lu Yuan has chosen to cultivate diligently and go into seclusion to break through his cultivation level.

The time flow in the Sacred Ruins Grotto Heaven is more than twice as fast. After all, it is a cave dwelling given by the system, and it can create a time difference even in this immortal realm.

Five thousand years have passed in the outside world, but more than twenty thousand years have passed in Lu Yuan's place.

Lu Yuan benefited greatly from this seclusion of over 20,000 years; he gained a great deal.

Firstly, there's the realm he's primarily aiming for. Through over 20,000 years of arduous cultivation and constant breakthroughs in his own realm, he has already advanced from the Profound Immortal Realm to the peak of the Taiyi Profound Immortal Realm, with one foot already in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan does not intend to delay any longer this time. Within a hundred years, Lu Yuan will definitely enter the Golden Immortal realm and gather the three flowers at the top of his head.

Besides the significant improvement in his realm, the second improvement was the perfection of his supernatural abilities.

During his more than 20,000 years of seclusion, Lu Yuan obtained a considerable amount of Ancestral Beast Blood by completing various system tasks.

His own Xuanxian puppet medicine man was also constantly accumulating Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid for himself. The immortal crystals that the Golden Horn King earned by selling Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid were also converted into points by Lu Yuan to exchange for Ancestral Beast Blood.

After more than 20,000 years of accumulation, Lu Yuan's Ancestral Beast Technique reached perfection.

First, he needed to fully master the Ancestral Phoenix Technique, which was only missing one skill in the original technique.

The Kui Niu Ancestral Technique has also been completely perfected.

The Ancestral Dragon Technique, which has the most scattered techniques, is not yet perfect, but it's not far off.

Lu Yuan has now mastered 11 scattered techniques: Ancestral Dragon Claw, Sky-Splitting Claw, Destruction Claw, True Dragon Fist, Ancestral Dragon Arm, Hidden Dragon Step, Ancestral Dragon River-Turning Technique, Ancestral Dragon Sea-Overturning Technique, Ancestral Dragon Heaven-Opening Technique, Dragon Scale Flowing Light Armor, and Ancestral Dragon Roar.

Only the Nine Dragons Trapping the Sun Technique and the Dragon Strike Nine Heavens Technique are needed to reach the Great Perfection of the Ancestral Dragon Technique.

However, these two ancestral techniques require too much ancestral dragon blood and need a period of accumulation.

Then comes the comprehension of the laws.

Although Lu Yuan had already comprehended many laws before his seclusion, it did not prevent him from comprehending even more and reaching a higher level of understanding.

First, he spent ten thousand years consolidating all the laws he had previously comprehended. Due to the limitations of his realm, Lu Yuan had only managed to comprehend the laws to a slightly better degree.

Now that his realm has advanced, Lu Yuan is able to comprehend more of the power of laws, and has deduced all of his previous laws to perfection.

The laws he now holds are all at the pinnacle of their power, their strength far surpassing what it once was.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan also completed many rules that could amplify his own advantages, as planned.

For example, the Law of Force, the Law of Thunder, and the Law of the Staff.

In addition, there are the laws of healing and the laws of space.

With tens of thousands of years of accumulation, Lu Yuan has gained a deeper understanding of the laws of space. He has also expanded his spatial swordsmanship based on that move, creating six more powerful sword techniques.

In addition, Lu Yuan has been practicing the Demon Luo Death Scripture, a technique of the extraterrestrial evil race, the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, and has not neglected it.

He always felt that this Death Scripture was incredibly powerful, and the more he cultivated it, the more profound and extensive it seemed, probably no weaker than his own Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture. If the Demonic Death Qi he cultivated was used properly, it could probably catch many powerful beings off guard.

Lu Yuan didn't care that it was some kind of extraterrestrial evil clan's technique, because in his eyes, techniques themselves were neither good nor evil; it all depended on how they were used.

Besides, the extraterrestrial evil race has no grudge against me. On the contrary, I need powerful strength to protect myself in order to establish myself in the Immortal Realm.

Since this technique is powerful enough, why not cultivate it?

"Now I have cultivated the Demonic Death Scripture to the Ancestral Demon Realm. Simply using the power of the Demonic Death Scripture, I can kill ordinary Xuanxian cultivators in the Immortal Realm. If I combine the power of the Demonic Death Scripture with my Immortal Realm realm and use it to ambush powerful beings, I'm afraid even ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals would not be able to withstand it."

This Demonic Death Scripture is essentially a trump card in Lu Yuan's hand. The techniques cultivated by the extraterrestrial evil race are bizarre and extraordinary. If it is suddenly used to launch a sneak attack when fighting a powerful figure, it is the most difficult to defend against.

"There's no rush to leave seclusion. Five thousand years is but a blink of an eye in the Immortal Realm. The only important thing is to improve your own cultivation."

Lu Yuan continued his arduous cultivation, determined to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Another hundred years passed, and within Lu Yuan's body, the five elements in his chest began to boil, and a large amount of the five elements in his chest began to converge, condensing into the Three Flowers.

Lu Yuan introspected the five elements within his chest.

As his cultivation level increased, his profound foundation and the special cultivation technique he practiced, the Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture, contributed to this.

The five vital energies within his chest had grown to an extremely terrifying degree.

"I'm afraid even a Taiyi Golden Immortal is far inferior to the amount of Five Qi I have accumulated in my chest. If I can condense such a massive amount of Five Qi into the Three Flowers on the top of my head, my strength will probably increase to a terrifying level once I succeed."

Although Lu Yuan had never personally witnessed how much Five Qi he had accumulated in his chest when other Golden Immortals condensed the Three Flowers on their heads, he was indeed astonished by the amount of Five Qi in his own chest.

At this moment, the five vital energies accumulated in his chest, which were like the boundless ocean, were like the endless waves of clouds.

To gather such a large quantity of the three flowers at the top, probably no one in history has been better prepared than myself.

Lu Yuan was not worried at all about breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, because his foundation made it too easy for him to break through to the Golden Immortal realm; there were simply no obstacles.

His only concern was what kind of "Top Three Flowers" he would be able to condense.

In the celestial realm, even the three flowers on the top of one's head are ranked.

From highest to lowest, they are ranked from first rank to ninth rank.

They are divided into three ranks: upper, middle, and lower.

A true master must condense at least the third-grade or higher Three Flowers on the top of their head. The higher the grade, the better. The higher the quality, the more solid the Three Flowers on the top of the head, like real flowers gathered between the eyebrows and on the forehead. The stronger the Golden Immortal, the better.

"With the foundation I've accumulated over the years, condensing the first-grade top three flowers is no problem at all. I just don't know if I can break through to the mythical-grade top three flowers mentioned by the system."

This was Lu Yuan's only worry.

What he seeks is naturally the best; the three flowers on the top of the head that are generally gathered in the immortal realm are divided into nine ranks.

However, the system had given him a separate introduction to the three flowers at the top of the head. Above the ninth rank, there were three higher ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Man.

The nine-rank system commonly used in the immortal realm actually embodies the top three flowers of 'human character'.

The higher one's character, the higher the Earthly Grade Three Flowers, which is further divided into nine minor grades.

If one can surpass the Earth-grade first rank, then one can enter the Heaven-grade quality.

There are nine grades of Heavenly Rank. If one can reach the first grade of Heavenly Rank, then that is the true mythical Heavenly Rank with the top three flowers.

At that time, Lu Yuan's Three Flowers on the Top will be the strongest Three Flowers on the Top in the entire Immortal Realm, a testament that will last forever. Even if a sage comes in person after he condenses the Three Flowers on the Top and uses the power of the Great Dao, he will not be able to remove the Three Flowers on the Top.

This is the legendary, heavenly quality, a certificate that is eternally valuable.

Lu Yuan began to activate the Five Internal Organs Furnace, pushing the Great Luo Cave Heaven True Scripture to its limit, and the Five Internal Organs Furnace frantically refined the five elements in his chest.

At the same time, he began to cultivate his own three flowers on top.

The so-called three flowers on the top are the "human flower", the "earth flower", and the "heaven flower".

In more colloquial terms, it can also be called the 'flower of the physical body', 'flower of the primordial spirit', or 'flower of the Great Dao'.

The Human Flower represents the physical body, the Primordial Spirit Flower represents the soul, and the Great Dao Flower represents the Dao that one cultivates and seeks to attain.

Only when the three flowers gather at the top can one be considered a Golden Immortal.

Condensing the three flowers at the top of the head tests the physical body, the primordial spirit, and the level of one's cultivation of the Dao.

The five elements within Lu Yuan's chest began to boil, and the first thing to condense was the first human flower, the physical flower.

Lu Yuan's physical body simultaneously cultivated numerous acquired and innate sacred bodies, and was further strengthened by the ancestral blood, making it naturally impeccable. Therefore, when he condensed his first physical flower, the speed was exceptionally fast.

In a short while, a large amount of Qi in his chest condensed into the first physical flower. Moreover, this physical flower, which had just been condensed and had not yet been tempered, easily broke through the first grade of the human level and reached the ninth grade of the earth level.

The fact that Lu Yuan's physical body is at least at the ninth rank of the Earth level shows just how terrifying his physical strength has become.

"Ninth-grade Earth level, this is just the beginning."

Lu Yuan hadn't even started tempering his body yet, but his physical flower had already reached the ninth grade of the Earth level. It seemed that advancing to the third grade of the Heaven level wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.

Immediately, Lu Yuan began the tempering process.

As the precious light gathered above his physical body and was pushed to its limit, the flower on his physical body bloomed even more brilliantly.

Ninth-rank prefecture-level, eighth-rank prefecture-level, seventh-rank prefecture-level...

As the fragrance intensifies, the details on the flowers become increasingly clear and vivid.

Within Lu Yuan's body, the roars of dragons and phoenixes, along with the thunderous sounds of the Kui Niu, continuously emanated. The physical forms of numerous sacred bodies appeared simultaneously, transforming into golden light that rushed into the golden flower atop the flower.

"Om!!"

With a celestial melody spreading out, the golden flower atop the body, representing the physical body, completely entered the ninth rank of the Heavenly Realm and continued to climb.

Heavenly Rank 8, Heavenly Rank 7, Heavenly Rank 6...

In the end, Lu Yuan pushed the golden flower of flesh to the first rank of the Heavenly level in one go.

After the Three Flowers on Top were promoted to the first rank of the Heavenly level, the entire golden flower underwent a fundamental change from the inside out, giving rise to a misty purple aura. It completely transformed from gold to purplish-gold, becoming extraordinary and completely different from ordinary Three Flowers on Top.

A purple-gold, mythical-grade, heavenly-level golden flower atop the physical body, complete! (End of Chapter)
