Chapter 172 Three Flowers Gather at the Top
"This is the Five Elements Returning to the Origin."

Li Xian felt the various changes brought about by refining the five innate energies.

The five qi are in full swing.

This is equivalent to having a foundation in the Dao, using the physical body and internal organs as the basis for carrying out five more sources of magical power.

The activation switches for these five sources of magical power are the five innate energies.

Nourished by the five innate energies, his physical condition changed once again, and the energy layout within his body seemed to be restructured.

If the previous magical power came from true qi, and true qi came from blood and qi, then at this moment, the cultivator can basically break away from "blood and qi," the foundation upon which life depends.

Only those who have reached this stage of cultivation can truly abstain from grains, live on dew and air, and maintain their life functions by inhaling and exhaling the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

"Five Qi Converging to the Origin... Putting aside other advantages, it perfectly solves the problem of wasting time going to the toilet every day."

The time saved may not seem like much, but over time it accumulates into a huge intangible advantage.

"Moreover, compared to the past..."

Li Xian took a deep breath.

The power of the peerless Dao Foundation allows it to plunder the surrounding spiritual energy. Ten times the amount of spiritual energy of an ordinary Dao Foundation is absorbed by the Primordial Dao Foundation and poured into its body through the Heavenly Gate.

Unlike in the past when it took a lot of time to refine magical power, this time, the five elements circulated freely.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth poured into the body is processed, digested, and purified by the five internal organs at an incredible speed, then forms a cycle, and finally transforms into pure Floating Li magic power.

This efficiency is much faster than before.

Similarly, it also means that his magical power growth rate has increased significantly.

This growth, depending on individual potential and adaptation, often leads to physical perfection within a few months, magical perfection within a few years, and after physical and magical perfection, it nourishes the spirit, leading to spiritual perfection within a decade or several decades.

Once one's essence, energy, and spirit are all at their peak, one can begin the process of achieving the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"With each breath, I can feel my physical body strengthening and my magical power increasing..."

Li Xian sensed the changes within himself.

This enhancement is very subtle.

It's possible to increase by ten points during cultivation, but decrease by nine points when not cultivating.

Therefore, many people seize the opportunity of rapid growth immediately after breaking through a cultivation level, and then go into seclusion for several months or even years. Those with high talent can achieve perfect energy in one go, while those with lower talent...

All that's left is to rely on the long years and relentless, day-and-night polishing.

As for Mr. Li...

"It will probably take one or two months to fully restore one's vital energy, and one or two months to fully restore one's magical power."

It's not that his cultivation efficiency is low.

Rather, it is the body that needs to adapt to this change.

"The evolution of the physical body is a bit slow..."

He let out a breath.

After a while, he managed to calm himself down.

"Alright, I'll take advantage of this month or two to catch up on the progress of the Sun Chasing Sword Qi, Life Breath, Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, and Water God's Decree. At the very least, I need to push the Sun Chasing Sword Qi and Primordial Magnetic Divine Light to the second level as soon as possible."

He calmed down and began to diligently practice his magic and secret arts.

A practitioner's magical abilities are often lower than their spiritual cultivation level.

It's not surprising that some cultivators who aren't skilled in combat still remain at the first level of magical cultivation even after the Three Flowers Gather at the Top.

Even the true disciples' spells are at least one level below their cultivation level.

This is not because they lack talent, but because they have not had enough time to cultivate.

The practice of magic has always been extremely time-consuming.

Many rogue cultivators may only have a fourth-level cultivation level, but their magic weapons may only be at the second level. However, their spells can be pushed to the fourth level because they have lived long enough.

Of course, the spells of rogue cultivators are usually ordinary, but if they have even one exquisite spell, they can become famous.

For a true disciple of a major sect who has basically mastered a sect-protecting spell and whose magic weapon is not too bad, it doesn't matter if a rogue cultivator has one or two spell advantages.

……

Two months later.

"The essence and energy are complete."

Li Xian sensed a slight increase in his physical strength and a surge in his magical power, which had multiplied several times over.

Increase your maximum mana several times over!

The ever-renewing power of magic is restored!
Now, I really don't have to worry about running out of magic power anymore.

"As long as I don't go all out and only maintain a flight speed of a few hundred kilometers, my rapidly recovering mana can support me to keep flying."

Li Xian was somewhat moved.

Even at full speed, with the combined amplification of Endless Radiance and Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, it can still sustain a journey of tens of thousands of miles.

"My vital energy is now complete, but nourishing my spirit will take some time... However, I have cultivated sword intent, refined my consciousness, and activated the Upper Yuan Cave Heaven... So achieving spiritual perfection won't take more than a few months. At that time, I will naturally step into the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm..."

Li paused for a moment.

Or rather, he is now at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm.

It's just like an ordinary person who has been up for a day or two and whose mental state isn't quite at its peak when the Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head are fully developed.

"The next step after the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is the True Essence of Yin and the True Fire of Yang..."

Thinking of these two realms, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he had excluded the characteristics of the "Starry Sky Dao Body" from the Chaos Heavenly Demon Body.

If one has the amplification of the Starry Sky Dao Body, breaking through the Taiyin and Taiyang realms would probably be as easy as eating and drinking.

Even though his spirit is not yet fully developed, he dares to try to directly draw upon the power of the Yin to refine his magical power.

"Now, it's not necessarily a bad thing to give it a try."

Li Xian pondered for a moment.

"However, before trying it, it is best to buy a Nine-Turn Creation Pill. The power of Taiyin is extremely domineering. Using the human body to draw in the power of the stars is no less than using the physical body to fight against the magnetic field of the stars. In order to avoid being crushed the moment of contact, a life-saving pill is indispensable."

The Nine Revolutions Creation Pill is a seventh-grade elixir, and its potency is so great that it can truly bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones!

To say it's like bleeding yourself to death is an exaggeration, but even if your physical body is crushed, as long as your mind remains intact, you can recover quickly.

"My thoughts haven't scattered... For safety's sake, I should first raise my sword intent to a minor level. A minor level sword intent will nourish my thoughts and consciousness, making my will more resilient. Even if my physical body is shattered, my will can still hold on for longer, until the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill's effect of almost reshaping my physical body allows me to face death and live again."

Of course, having one's physical body crushed is the worst-case scenario...

Such a physical body, which has not been tempered by the accumulation of Yin essence over time, is most likely to have its meridians severed by the sudden influx of Yin energy; the possibility of it being directly crushed is not high.

but……

Li Xian thought about it carefully. He had experienced the pain of being cut in half, and the devastating blow of being completely crushed...

It seems there has never been one.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. "If the physical body is crushed but the will can still survive, in a way, isn't that an extreme test of the will? In the future, if I encounter such serious injuries again, I will still be able to muster my will and launch a counterattack from the brink of death."

He pondered for a moment.

The tone has already been set.

Once the funds for purchasing the Nine-Turn Creation Pill are raised, and the sword intent is pushed to a minor level, the power of the Taiyin Star will be directly summoned.

As for those who, like others, use the essence of Taiyin to modify themselves and enhance their adaptability to Taiyin star power...

Too cumbersome.

He can't wait that long.

Why waste time going the long way when there's a faster way?
While pondering, Li Xian quickly washed himself, changed his clothes, and walked out of the cultivation room.

Outside the cultivation room, a cultivator at the Innate Realm was waiting.

Upon seeing Li Xian emerge, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master Li."

"Ah."

Li Xian casually gave a reply.

He was supposed to return to his sect to receive his True Disciple Peak and all the benefits associated with being a True Disciple.

However, having just completed his breakthrough and brimming with magical power, he couldn't wait to find someone to practice with.

therefore……

Li Xian took out his identity token and began searching for the bounty list in the Fallen Star Sea area.

While he was reviewing the documents, Qin Yi arrived in a hurry.

Upon sensing the continuous flow of the five elements and the ever-renewing energy emanating from Li Xian's body, he quickly cupped his hands and stepped forward, saying, "Congratulations, True Disciple Li, on achieving the Five Elements Convergence, ranking among the high cultivators, and extending your lifespan by another sixty years..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he sensed Li Xian's newly perfected and still not fully controlled spiritual energy and magical power...

Considering that Li Xian seems to have mastered sword intent early on, wouldn't it be natural for him to activate the Upper Yuan Cave Heaven and cultivate spiritual consciousness once his essence, energy, and magical power are perfected?
He immediately changed his tune: "No! It's not the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin! It's the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top! Congratulations, Master Li, your essence, energy, and spirit are complete, the Upper Yuan has been opened, and longevity is in sight."

"you flatter me."

Li Xian said something.

He added, "By the way, what about that traitor from the Yunxi Sect? Why isn't he on the bounty list anymore?"

"Uh... the traitor you mentioned was killed by the true disciple Miao Wuchen a month and a half ago."

Qin Yi said.

"died?"

Li Xian was somewhat surprised.

But then came another moment of realization.

Yes, the world won't stop turning for him.

He can hunt down such a cost-effective bounty target, and so can the other disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect. It doesn't mean that just because he wants to take on this mission, the traitor from the Yunxi Sect will obediently wait there.

Upon seeing this, Li Xian had no choice but to turn his attention to the bandits active in the White Stone Harbor area.

Just ...

It's a bit far.

"Far is far. I just completed the Five Qi Gathering and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top training, and I wanted to test my flying limits, so I went to White Stone Harbor for a round trip."

After pondering for a moment, Li Xian asked, "Do you have a genuine copy of the disc?"

"Yes, and it's made from the blood left behind when that cultivator was injured. Its sensing range is over a thousand miles."

Qin Yi said, "However, this cultivator has not shown up for more than two months, and it is suspected that he has already left this sea area."

"Go and have a look."

Li Xian said something.

Qin Yi quickly took out the Seeking Truth Disc and handed it to him.

Without wasting any time, he leaped up and headed straight for the horizon.

As Li Xianyu departed on his sword, the Innate Realm disciples who had been waiting outside the cultivation room approached him and whispered, "Grandmaster, it's said that this True Disciple Li seems to be..."

"Silence!"

He was interrupted by Qin Yi before he could finish speaking.

He looked at his junior with a solemn expression: "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, just do your own job well."

"Yes."

The person at the Innate Realm immediately lowered their head.

……

On the other side, Li Xian broke through the air and left at lightning speed.

Feeling the abundant magical power within his body, he unleashed the Sun Chasing Sword Qi without reservation, soaring freely through the azure sky, leaving behind a golden sword light tens of feet long in the void.

It tears through the clouds from time to time, even piercing and slicing through clouds several miles or tens of miles in diameter, leaving trails several miles, tens of miles, or even hundreds of miles long that linger for a long time.

In just one day, he had traveled 100,000 miles.

Feeling the magical power emanating from him, he felt an exhilarating sense of liberation.

"happy!"

After a whole day of having fun, Li Xian finally managed to determine the direction.

"White Stone Harbor seems to be not far away."

He pondered for a moment, then flew forward again.

However, after flying for a while longer, a large island came into view on the sea below the clouds.

There are many islands of all sizes in the sea, but this island, though large, was not enough to attract Li Xian's attention.

However, the location of this large island in front of us...

This made Li Xian's heart stir.

"It seems to be... Rakshasa Island?"

More than two months ago, he rescued a fleet of ships, and someone on board said that there seemed to be demonic cultivators running rampant on the island, stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
"A demonic cultivator, I wonder if he is a demonic cultivator from the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect."

Li Xian's eyes darted around.

Come here.

"Go and see."

With that thought in mind, he suppressed the sword light and headed straight for Rakshasa Island.
