Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 945 Three Flower Realm

The vast starry sky unfolded before Ji An's eyes without any obstruction. It was a boundless world, and he felt so small.

The physical laws of Earth seem not to apply here; the propagation of light is very strange, and the boundary between light and darkness is clearly visible.

It was as if an invisible force was controlling everything, forming a specific passage.

Ji An immediately felt a sensation different from that in the world, as if he had taken off a thick fur coat, and both his body and nascent soul felt relaxed.

However, he immediately felt the cold spreading over him. His skin pores began to contract, but he could still feel the cold seeping into his body from the outside, as if a cold knife was scraping his bones.

He was shocked, knowing that his body's refinement level had reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, yet he still couldn't withstand the coldness emanating from the starry sky.

The world of my previous life had the concept of absolute zero, where there was a limit to the lowest temperature. But this world is different; theoretically, the temperature can go up infinitely high or down infinitely low.

In addition, Ji An felt that even the Nascent Soul, which was usually able to withstand the cold, could not withstand the cold transmitted to the Guanghan Palace, and some frost condensed on the surface of the palace.

If the upper dantian is not in good condition, the middle dantian is also in bad condition, and a layer of silver has quietly crept onto the surface of the inner dantian.

The life-giving fire in the lower dantian flickered. There was no frost forming here, but the flames were clearly shrunken.

The Azure Lotus Burning Heart Flame showed a more pronounced effect, its flames weakening by half, while the Netherworld Bone Flame's flames were much brighter.

All of this was completely imperceptible before passing through the world's web of laws, indicating that the web of laws not only prevented cultivators from leaving but also helped maintain the planet's temperature, like covering the planet with a thick blanket.

The inherited information recorded this situation, but only now did Ji An directly feel the aura that could freeze everything.

Faced with such a chilling aura, the Five Directions Flag Spirit Treasure and the Five Elements Divine Mountain, hidden within the Yuanming Fire, subconsciously shrank into a ball, urging the spiritual energy stored within their bodies to fight back.

Those alchemy furnaces and spiritual treasures are no longer in his dantian; he left them in the gourd world.

The only thing unaffected was the stone tortoise. It used to be covered in cracks, but now there isn't a single trace of them. Moreover, the stone tortoise's body is noticeably larger than before.

It was still leisurely dozing off, its tail occasionally twitching, perhaps having a sweet dream.

There was no air in the starry sky, so Ji An could not breathe, and his body automatically switched to internal circulation.

Moreover, a gourd-shaped phantom appeared in the middle dantian. Although it was a phantom, the details on the surface of the gourd were very detailed. The upper half showed the sun, moon and stars, and the lower half showed flowers, plants, insects and fish.

This is a refined small world; after it was completely refined, it transformed from reality into illusion.

Although Ji An was the master, he couldn't fully understand which dimension this small world was in.

His body began to stiffen, and Ji An knew he had to activate his magic power as soon as possible to break through, otherwise he would freeze in this cold and desolate starry sky.

It is difficult for cultivators whose cultivation level does not reach the Three Flowers Realm to survive for a long time in the universe, even if they have refined a small world.

After testing, Ji An discovered that when his body entered the gourd world, the small world would appear in the real world, becoming a tiny, barely perceptible speck of dust. At this time, the position of the small world was fixed.

This conclusion was reached jointly by the Five Sacred Mountains True Monarch and Yue Ling'er. As for whether cultivators at the Three Flowers Realm could discover him, it is unknown.

Looking down at the path he had come from, and then looking up at the starry sky, Ji An took a deep breath. In an instant, all his past and present lives flashed through his mind.

He slowly exhaled, then focused his gaze firmly on channeling his magical power according to the secret method.

Unlike before, this time there were no pills to help me break through to the next realm; I could only use things that could restore my mana.

He must achieve rebirth through his own efforts, or achieve complete brilliance in the process of breakthrough.

From the Golden Core stage onwards, there are only two possibilities for a cultivator to break through to a higher realm: success or failure.

Success allows for further progress, but failure can cost you your life.

Inside the Moon Palace, the Nascent Soul's hand seals shifted, and golden magical power surged from his upper dantian.

The magical power surged within the immortal veins, causing a faint glow to emanate from their surface. The vein patterns on the surface of the Five Elements Divine Palace shimmered with light, and the Dao Seeds alternated between brightness and darkness, emanating wisps of energy that merged with the magical power.

As the five flags exerted their power simultaneously, wisps of energy surged forth, merging with the torrent of magical power.

A moment later, both the main immortal vein and any minor branch vein were filled with magical power and began to circulate along a specific route.

The speed of the mana circulation increased, and Ji An could no longer feel the coldness of the starry sky. His slightly stiff body quickly regained its vitality.

This process serves only one purpose: to rapidly increase the body's spiritual pressure, enabling him to trigger a tribulation of lightning.

Without the aid of elixirs, one cannot complete the transformation solely through one's own strength. The tribulation of lightning is the catalyst; only through the baptism of lightning can one achieve sublimation and transformation.

Ji An manipulated his magic power, which at this moment possessed all five elements and was colorful.

His hands simultaneously formed mudras, and the five elements within his magic power immediately underwent a yin-yang transformation.

The strength of Earth (戊土) decreases, while the strength of Earth (己土) increases; the strength of Metal (庚金) increases, while the strength of Metal (辛金) decreases; the strength of Water (壬水) decreases, while the strength of Water (癸水) increases.
The Yin and Yang transformations within the Five Elements occur simultaneously, causing the vibrant five colors to vanish rapidly, leaving only black and white.

Countless tiny sparks of electricity flickered within the immortal veins, permeating outwards from the inside.

Ji An's spiritual pressure steadily increased, although the rate of increase was getting slower and slower, but the momentum remained firm.

His magical power surged like a tide, and he methodically controlled its circulation to accelerate.

At this moment, he completely lost his sense of time and the outside world, focusing solely on activating his magical power.

His spiritual pressure exceeded the threshold, and things went much more smoothly than expected; he consumed less than 10% of his magical power.

As his spiritual pressure crossed a new level, purple clouds appeared out of thin air above his head, with lightning flashing continuously within them.

The thunderclouds grew thicker and thicker, and soon the first bolt of tribulation lightning seemed poised to strike.

Ji An immediately activated his spiritual treasure, and all five flags flew out of his body. At the same time, his nascent soul dharma form took shape.

The magnificent tides illuminated the entire sky.

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag transformed into a ball of black spiritual light and disappeared into the sea. It completely merged into the water and combined seamlessly with the water elemental power within the Dharma Image.

The natal spiritual treasure, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, also transformed into spiritual light and fell into the sea. It continued to sink until it reached the bottom of the sea and merged with the earth.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, the Flaming Banner transforms into a fiery phoenix that merges with the blazing sun, instantly creating a misty haze over the sea.

The earth rose from the seabed, and the plain-colored cloud-bound banner fell to the ground and disappeared.

The Azure Dragon, transformed from the Azure Lotus Banner, swayed gracefully, its body transforming into a sky full of azure spiritual light that merged with the green plants growing on the earth. This was the result of Ji An's many years of painstaking efforts; the Five Banners Spiritual Treasure and the Nascent Soul Dharma Image were completely integrated together.

The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning continued to fall, creating huge waves as it struck the sea. However, water is gentle, so the lightning caused very little damage. Instead, it channeled the power of the lightning into Ji An's body, tempering his body, magic power, and soul.

The Purple Heaven Divine Lightning struck the rocks and vegetation, cracking the stones and leaving deep pits, and destroying a large number of towering trees.

However, the ground continued to surge upwards, filling the deep crater. The trees destroyed by the lightning were not completely dead; many of them flourished and turned green after the lightning struck.

Compared to the True Lord of Wonderful Existence, he was much more composed in his confrontation with the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, which fully demonstrates that his foundation was stronger.

The baptism of the Nine Waves of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder quickly passed, and Ji An calmly looked up at the sky, showing no signs of disarray.

The nascent soul's form was different from before. The sun rose in the east, and the mountains rose and fell on the earth. A vast expanse of green covered the plains, and waterfalls cascaded down the mountains like white jade belts.

The bright moon hangs high in the west, its soft, watery white light contrasting sharply with the golden sunlight, creating two distinct worlds.

Ji An took out the top-grade spirit stone he had prepared beforehand, held it in his hand, and activated his cultivation technique to absorb spiritual energy, seizing the time to restore his mana.

Bathing in lightning consumes a lot of magical power, so he must be in peak condition to face the final thunderous roar in the best possible way.

The purple thunderclouds gradually dissipated, and black and white thunderclouds rapidly began to form.

Ji An gazed leisurely at the sky. The most difficult test had arrived. As long as he could survive the final Yin-Yang Divine Thunder Judgment, he would completely step into the Three Flowers Realm.

A yellow aura emanated from the earth, converging in the air to form the shape of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

He activated his natal spiritual treasure, preparing to jointly confront the final life-or-death calamity.

This thunderbolt is not only a baptism for him, but also for the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. As long as he can break through to a higher realm, his natal spirit treasure can obtain enough resources to upgrade to the fifth rank.

If he cannot break through the shackles, then his natal spiritual treasure will also face shattering.

The vortex of thunder slowly spun, its speed constantly increasing, obscuring the true appearance of this starry sky, leaving only black and white light.

The moment the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder crashed down, Ji An activated the Five Elements Divine Mountain to block it from above, and at the same time activated all his spiritual treasures, turning the colorful magical light into black and white.

The Dharma image also changed color, and the world seemed to turn into a black and white photograph.

His idea was to use the power of Yin and Yang to counter the Yin-Yang Divine Thunder.

When the ethereal Dharma form materialized in this starry sky at that moment, Ji An's power was also pushed to its limit, and the Yin-Yang Thunder Tribulation happened to fall on Ji An.

The Dharma Image held on for a moment before being annihilated by the lightning. Cracks covered the flagpole of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, and most of the yellow flag was now charred black. But it had fulfilled its mission, greatly reducing the power of the lightning.

Ji An's body was exposed to a less intense Yin-Yang energy environment, and his skin, muscles, and bones were all tempered to the best, but the pain was amplified infinitely.

The pain lasted only a moment, but to him it felt like an eternity.

He could feel significant changes in the cells throughout his body at that moment, and his nascent soul also experienced intense pain, with several cracks appearing on its body.

Ji An slowly sat down cross-legged, and his nascent soul appeared above his head, making the same gesture.

He and the Nascent Soul activated their cultivation techniques simultaneously, and a radiant cloud of spiritual light gathered above the Nascent Soul's head.

When one first enters the Three Flowers Realm, the Nascent Soul only has one spiritual cloud. When one reaches the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, there will be three spiritual clouds.

Countless petals fell from the void, and ethereal, beautiful celestial music spread out, the sound carrying in an unknown form in this airless space.

All the magical treasures suffered damage to varying degrees, with the Five Elements Divine Mountain suffering the most severe damage.

The main body of this spiritual treasure is five mountains of different colors coming together, but at this moment all the mountains have broken. Fortunately, the Five Elements Divine Mountain can be quickly repaired with enough fourth-grade top-quality spiritual soil.

Among the five flags, the one that suffered the most damage was the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag. Its natal spirit treasure was now flashing with very weak spiritual light, but it persevered.

For a natal magical treasure to break through to the fifth rank, it must undergo the baptism of Yin-Yang Divine Thunder. Without this step, the natal magical treasure cannot complete its Nirvana.

Ji An used a special method to unleash his magic power and let out a long roar, the sound spreading through the vacuum. Then he stored all the spiritual treasures in his dantian and seized the time to consolidate his realm, as he had a lot to do next.

A day passed, and he stabilized his realm. He opened his eyes, stood up, and looked down at the world for a moment as if to say goodbye. Then he urged the golden light that seemed to leap across the earth to head towards the nearest planet to him, which was the 'moon'.

Ji An flew for two hours before stopping and entering the gourd world.

His mana was severely depleted. Flying through the starry sky consumed a great deal of mana, even more than when a cultivator enters the Land of Absolute Spirits.

He is currently in poor condition and unable to fly for extended periods.

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lords, Yue Ling'er, A Yun, and all the beasts were quietly waiting by the Gathering Yuan Tree. When they saw their master walk in, all of them showed joy.

The spiritual pressure of a cultivator at the Three Flowers Realm is much stronger than that of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm, making it easy to distinguish.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on another breakthrough in your cultivation!"

The Five Sacred Mountains True Lord spoke with fervor, and the others echoed his sentiments.

Yue Ling'er blinked her bright, lively eyes. Her heart was surging with excitement. The Three Flowers Realm was a legend to her, and she only learned about this realm after becoming Ji An's disciple.

"Haha, congratulations to you all."

Ji An laughed heartily and said to the puppet:
"Ah Yun, prepare a feast of the highest quality spiritual food. Let's all drink until we drop today!"

A breakthrough in cultivation is certainly something to celebrate, and from now on, one may live for ten thousand years.

Ayun lowered her long, slender neck and gently communicated with him through her mind:
"Yes, Master. Please wait a moment. I prepared many of the ingredients several hours ago."

She piloted her spirit shuttle and flew towards the pool of water in the black soil.

Yue Ling'er asked with concern:

"Your Majesty, breaking through to a higher realm is a perilous process. You should rest here for a few days before going out to properly adjust your condition."

Ji An nodded slightly and said in agreement:

"That's what I was thinking too. We'll wait until the Five Directions Flag and the Five Elements Divine Mountain are repaired before we set off to leave."

After flying to the moon, he will stay there for a while.
