What I teach you is real stuff.

"A Heaven-grade, first-rank, mythical-level golden flower isn't as difficult as I imagined." Lu Yuan looked inward at his forehead, seeing that the flower on his forehead had fully formed, condensing into the first Heaven-grade purple-gold flower with three flowers on top.

It was indeed much easier than he had imagined. It seemed that as long as he accumulated enough foundation, condensing the three flowers at the top of the Heavenly Grade was a natural outcome.

Now that the first three flowers on top have been formed, let's strike while the iron is hot and form the second primordial spirit flower.

The condensation of the Primordial Spirit Flower tests the strength of the Primordial Spirit of the Taiyi Mystic Immortal. The stronger the Primordial Spirit, the more powerful the golden flower on top will be.

Lu Yuan began cultivating his primordial spirit at the Foundation Establishment stage, which was two major realms earlier than ordinary primordial spirit cultivators. Ordinary cultivators could only begin cultivating at the Nascent Soul stage at the earliest. Lu Yuan cultivated his primordial spirit early on, and his primordial spirit was always ahead of his cultivation realm.

As the five energies in the chest propelled the second primordial spirit flower, it began to materialize. Within the primordial spirit, a deep blue energy continuously poured into the second primordial spirit flower, nourishing and strengthening this second flower atop the three flowers.

Soon, this second top-tier flower reached the Heavenly Grade.

Heavenly Grade 9, Heavenly Grade 8, Heavenly Grade 7...

Heavenly Grade One

As the Primordial Spirit Flower bloomed brilliantly, the three flowers on top, representing the power of the Primordial Spirit, quietly rose to the first rank of the Heavenly level.

After years of accumulation, years of refinement, and years of hard work, Lu Yuan no longer needed to worry about his physical body and primordial spirit. Breaking through to the first rank of the Heavenly Realm was a natural progression.

As the second primordial spirit flower condensed into a purple-gold flower and was imprinted on his forehead at the Xuan Guan acupoint between his eyebrows, Lu Yuan completed the second step of condensing the three flowers on his head.

"Next, as long as one more Heaven-level Grade 1 Great Dao Flower is condensed, the condensation of the Three Flowers at the Top will be completed, and I will officially step into the Golden Immortal realm."

Becoming a Golden Immortal marks the beginning of truly entering the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. Without reaching the Golden Immortal level, one will never have the chance to glimpse the true scenery of the Immortal Realm. Only by becoming a Golden Immortal can one begin to have the opportunity to converse with truly high-ranking individuals.

If he can condense the third Heavenly Grade 1 Three Flowers at the top, Lu Yuan will break through to the Golden Immortal realm, and his strength will be incredibly terrifying, reaching a level that no one has ever reached before.

He is already capable of fighting beyond his level. If he can condense three Heavenly Grade First-Rank Top Three Flowers, his ability to fight beyond his level will be beyond imagination.

"The Flower of the Great Dao, this golden flower atop it, is it a test of the Dao I cultivate?"

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the Sacred Ruins Cave Heaven, lost in thought.

"What exactly is the path I cultivate, my path?"

He recalled his journey, starting from the small Daluo Mountain and Daluo Sect in the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom of the Northern Continent of the Azure Sky World, and then leaving the Daluo Sect and entering the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom.

Then, they left the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom and entered the entire Northern Continent, establishing the Northern Continent Alliance and merging the seven continents.

And now, he has ascended to the Immortal Realm...

What path have I been walking all along?

Everyone has their own path; some cultivate the way of the sword, some cultivate the way of the body, some cultivate the way of the spear, the way of the knife, the way of the bow and arrow, and the way of strength.

And what about yourself?

Looking back on the first half of his life on his path of cultivation, Lu Yuan seemed to have explored all the different paths.

After all, he had taken on many apprentices, and he had to teach each of them individually, according to their different circumstances and areas of expertise.

But there's an important question I've been overlooking all along: where does he, as a teacher, find his own path? And what path am I cultivating?
Lu Yuan then fell into deep thought, looking at the dozen or so laws floating within his body.

Each law represents a path to immortality. Should you choose one of these laws as your own path to cultivate?
Which path is the strongest?
Lu Yuan was caught in a dilemma; he pondered, felt lost, and was filled with doubt...

And so he pondered his own path for a full five hundred years.

Five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and one day, Lu Yuan's memories suddenly flashed back.

At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the world of Qingtian, back to the day he had just transmigrated here. Looking around, he saw that he was in Mount Daluo.

At that time, Lu Yuan was still worried about his future and livelihood, until the system bound him and asked him to take on apprentices and teach them.

Then, a figure pushed open the gate of the Great Luo Sect, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Excuse me, is the Great Luo Sect still accepting members?"

Lu Yuan looked up and saw Chen Nanxuan's figure.

Following Chen Nanxuan was Xiao Huang, who had not yet taken human form.

Following Xiao Huang, there were many other figures.

Jiang Ming is still a mortal, Xiao Huo is burdened with the shame of being jilted, and Yao Xuan is still a soul ring user.

Zhang Feifei, Ning Feng, Gao Yang, and others were still disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Purple lion, golden rooster... these people are all among them.

They are still ordinary people and have not yet become apprentices.

Only after stepping through the gates of the Great Luo Sect did these disciples find the right path and soar to great heights.

The perspective shifts to the Northern Continent, then to the Seven Continents, and finally to the Great Luo Continent, which is the unified continent of the Seven Continents in later generations.

At this time, the Northern Continent Alliance had been established, and its business spread to every inch of the Azure Sky World. Countless cultivators from the Great Luo Continent joined the Northern Continent Alliance to learn.

More and more cultivators are receiving good fortune and guidance, the power of the world is becoming stronger, the power of the planes is becoming more powerful, and more people are finding their own path.

At that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly realized something, as if he had grasped something. My path is not the path of the sword, not the path of strength, not the path of thunder, and certainly not the path of the physical body.

"My path is the path of the teacher, which is to educate and enlighten all living beings. It is to integrate and enlighten all things, and to merge the laws of the heavens into one's own body, thus becoming an invincible path."

"I am the teacher of the world!"

At that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly found his own path.

His path has never been singular; that would be too shallow. If he were to use a single path to condense this third Great Dao Flower, the final result would not be able to condense it into a Heavenly Grade Great Dao Flower.

To put it bluntly, even if a single Dao is very strong, it can only be classified as low-grade, while the first grade of the human level is already the peak.

To surpass the first rank of the human level, one must possess at least two laws or more of the Dao.

As for the Heavenly Grade 1 Great Dao Flower, the requirements are even higher.

If Lu Yuan cannot condense the Flower of the Great Dao into a Heavenly Grade 1, then all his previous efforts will be reduced to ashes.

If the Flower of the Great Dao cannot break through to the Heavenly level, the Heavenly Grade Physical Body Flower and Heavenly Grade Primordial Spirit Flower that were formed earlier will also fall in realm and return to the same level as the Flower of the Great Dao.

Throughout history, no one has been able to condense the Mythical Heavenly Grade First Rank Three Flowers when breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm, precisely because no one dares to make such a grand vow.

He educates all people, embodies countless laws, and is a teacher of all living beings.

Hongjun wanted to do it back then, but he didn't succeed. However, even though he didn't succeed, he still managed to merge with the Great Dao and become a sage.

Lu Yuan's grand ambition at this moment has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that after making such a grand vow, he can integrate all the laws he has cultivated and pile them onto the Flower of the Great Dao, pushing the Flower of the Great Dao to its peak and breaking through to the first grade of the Heavenly level.

The downside is that it will be extremely difficult for him to become a saint in the future; the path will be treacherous and arduous. Because if he wants to become a saint, he must fulfill his grand ambition, comprehend all the laws, and become a teacher who can enlighten all things before he can attain sainthood.

But it's not necessarily a bad thing. If he can truly achieve this grand ambition, once he becomes a saint, he will be invincible among saints, absolutely invincible, and the Great Dao will be at his feet.

The Great Way will also become a disciple.

This path is difficult, but it is one that Lu Yuan is determined to take.

It seemed as if some unseen force was drawing him down this path.

It was the system that was guiding things, and it was also Lu Yuan's own choice.

As he made the grand vow to enlighten all living beings and merge his body with countless laws, more than a dozen laws within his body leaped out and rushed into the Flower of the Great Dao.

Lu Yuan's Great Dao Flower began to sublimate, leap forward, and bloom.

He broke through the Heavenly level in an instant.

With all the dozen or so laws flowing into the Flower of the Great Dao, Lu Yuan's Flower of the Great Dao officially became a Heavenly Grade One.

From then on, he condensed the three Heavenly Grade 1 Three Flowers at the top. The three golden flowers appeared together. At this moment, Lu Yuan took a step forward, and the thin barrier representing the Golden Immortal realm was broken with a touch. He broke through to the Golden Immortal realm.

“恭喜宿主突破金仙境界，获得奖励【祖龙血+100】、【祖麒麟精血+10】、【麒麟祖术】、【随机魔神术抽奖券+2】、【魔神血+2】、积分+5兆！”

"Congratulations, host, on condensing the Mythical-grade Heavenly Rank Three Flowers at the Top, thus attaining eternal status as a Golden Immortal. You have received the following rewards: [Sacred Body Fusion - Master of All Saints Body], [Eternal Law Sword Embryo], [Randomly Obtain a Heavenly Dao Law], [Repair of the Fragment of the Ferocious Weapon Copper Mother - Rahu Spear], [Rahu Spear Technique], and 5 trillion points!"

……

As Lu Yuan broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, various rewards from the system were also distributed.

It was incredibly magnificent, filled with high-quality items. This breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm was truly significant, not only because his strength had taken a giant leap, but also because it clarified the path Lu Yuan would take in the future.

Furthermore, once the three flowers at the top of a mythical-grade Heavenly Rank are condensed, the timeline and the Great Dao are locked, and the proof is eternal.

The three flowers at the top of the mythical-grade Heavenly Rank are condensed, and even a saint could not sever Lu Yuan's three flowers.

Now, Lu Yuanren truly has a foothold in the Immortal Realm and the ability to compete with other major powers.

Lu Yuan felt the power rapidly expanding after breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

"The Mythical-grade Heavenly Rank Three Flowers at the Top is indeed powerful, and the power it brings me is terrifying. Before I broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, I was already able to fight against the Taiyi Golden Immortal. Now that I have condensed the Heavenly Rank Three Flowers at the Top, with my own power and many other methods combined, I am not so afraid even if I encounter a Daluo Golden Immortal."

A Golden Immortal, fighting a Great Luo Golden Immortal beyond one's level—this is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

After all, what is the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal?
Looking across the entire Immortal Realm, there are only a handful of Great Luo Golden Immortals; you can count them on two hands.

The supernatural powers and methods possessed by a Great Luo Golden Immortal are unimaginable; they are almost on a different level from Golden Immortals.

Under normal circumstances, even a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal would be in despair when facing a Daluo Golden Immortal. Once a Daluo Golden Immortal makes a move, even a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal would have no chance of survival.

But Lu Yuan, a Golden Immortal, is the only one in history to have fought against a Grand Luo Immortal.

However, this is just Lu Yuan's own speculation. Whether it can actually fight will only be verified after experiencing actual combat in the future, but Lu Yuan thinks it's about right.

After all, fighting against opponents of higher levels requires not only one's own strength but also many other means.

Lu Yuan began to collect the system rewards for breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

The blood of the three great ancestors.

Ancestral Dragon Blood, Qilin Ancestral Blood, Demon God Blood.

Among them are 100 drops of Ancestral Dragon Blood. With these 100 drops of Ancestral Dragon Blood, he can activate the last two moves of the Ancestral Dragon Technique that are not yet activated. In other words, with these 100 drops of Ancestral Dragon Blood, Lu Yuan can learn all of the Ancestral Dragon Technique.

As for the Qilin Ancestral Blood, this is the first time I've received it, and it represents the Qilin Ancestral Technique, a completely new Ancestral Beast Technique.

I received the Demon God's Blood once before. It can activate any Chaos Demon God Technique. The Chaos Demon God Technique is a powerful divine ability that is stronger than the Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, and Kui Niu Ancestral Techniques.

Lu Yuan received, absorbed, and activated the ancestral techniques one by one.

First, he successfully refined and absorbed 100 drops of the Ancestral Dragon's blood.

Lu Yuan learned the last two moves of the Ancestral Dragon Technique: the Nine Dragons Trapping the Sun Technique and the Dragon Strike Nine Heavens Technique. With this, he graduated from the Ancestral Dragon Technique.

Next was the Qilin Ancestral Technique, which Lu Yuan examined.

The Qilin Ancestral Technique contains five kinds of dispersing techniques.

Although the number is relatively small among the Ancestral Beast Techniques, Lu Yuan only realized after taking a look that none of the five scattered techniques in the Qilin Ancestral Techniques were weak; they were all incredibly powerful.

The five techniques are: Qilin Arm, Qilin Cloud-Treading Flowing Light, Qilin Illusionary Body, Qilin Cloud-Turning Transformation, and Qilin Undying Golden Body.

分别需要消耗：5滴、5滴、10滴、20滴、50滴麒麟精血。

Lu Yuan broke through to the Golden Immortal realm and obtained 10 drops of Qilin Ancestral Blood. He could choose to separate and cultivate two Qilin Ancestral Techniques: the Qilin Arm and the Qilin Cloud-Stepping Flowing Light.

Alternatively, one can choose to cultivate only one type of Qilin Illusionary Body Dispersion Technique.

Both options are acceptable.

Lu Yuan examined the advantages of these three dispersing techniques in detail and compared them.

Ultimately, he discovered that each had its own advantages.

The Qilin Arm is a burst of power. After accumulating enough power, the Qilin Arm can unleash a burst of power 10 times in an instant. If one can cultivate it to perfection, the burst of power can be 20 times.

Moreover, the burst of power from the Qilin Arm is an explosion that can be stacked on top of other supernatural abilities. In other words, the burst amplification brought by the Qilin Arm is the sum of all the burst power Lu Yuan has used with other supernatural abilities and the Holy Body, plus another 10 times amplification, which can be considered a backup burst.

This supernatural power is incredibly strong.

As for the Qilin Stepping on Clouds and Flowing Light, it is a supernatural ability for traveling, a top-level technique for escaping through the heavens.

The Ancestral Qilin treads on the clouds, transforming into a stream of light, and travels a million miles in a single leap. (The units of measurement in the Immortal Realm are different from those on Earth, so don't worry about that. For reference, Sun Wukong's 108,000 miles is equivalent to the Qilin Ancestral Technique, which is 10 times the somersault cloud.)
This Qilin stepping on clouds and flowing light is already the most advanced escape technique in the world.

If you want to go any faster, perhaps only a sage could intervene, using the Heavenly Dao's Great Seal that ignores distance.

It can be said that if Lu Yuan were to master the Qilin Cloud-Stepping Flowing Light Ancestral Technique, he would be unstoppable in the entire Immortal Realm in terms of speed, even without the intervention of a Saint.

As for the Qilin Illusion Technique, it requires the most Qilin Ancestral Blood. Ten drops of Qilin Ancestral Blood are the same as the total amount of Qilin Ancestral Blood required by the previous two techniques, so it is naturally exceptionally powerful.

According to the description of this technique, its effect is to create two Qilin phantoms out of thin air when used in battle.

Furthermore, the Qilin Illusion possesses 90% of its own strength, but its drawback is that it can only exist for 30 breaths. After 30 breaths, the illusion will disappear. Moreover, each use consumes a huge amount of energy, and it takes at least a hundred years to recover. At first glance, it seems to have a huge side effect.

But... Lu Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes after reading the introduction to the dispersing technique.

During battle, it releases at least two illusory forms; how much power do they possess compared to the original body? (End of Chapter)
