"The Lesser Yang rises, I rule over all!" Haotian sat cross-legged under the peach tree, slowly rising to his feet. His body continued to lengthen, clearly having broken free from the limitations of his virginity and become a true innate god and demon.

Standing nine zhang tall, majestic as a pillar of heaven, with a dignified bearing, he exudes authority even without anger.

His face was as fair as jade, as bright as the sun, his eyebrows were of eight colors, long and flowing into his temples, as if they contained the movement of the Milky Way, his eyes were as deep as the sky, when they opened they were as bright as the sun and moon, when they closed they were as silent as the heavens, and when his gaze swept over them all the spirits bowed down.

His black hair cascaded down his back, bound by a crown of stars, and his aura of imperial power was as deep as an abyss, overwhelming all the heavens. There was a dignified look between his brows, making people dare not look at him.

Haotian floated in the void. He could feel the joy of the Heavenly Dao. A pillar of light shot up from his body, accompanied by a golden will that merged into it. It was a majestic power that ruled over all the heavens, and all the Daos should prostrate themselves before it.

"The laws of the Emperor, I rule over all living beings!" Haotian stretched out a hand with distinct knuckles, its surface shimmering with golden light and entwined with a faint imperial aura. The laws covered it, as if it could hold the primordial world in its palm.

Haotian felt as if he had drifted out of the primordial world. He saw a phantom river, crystal clear, in which countless versions of himself floated. Some were in the form of children, while others were dressed as the Heavenly Emperor with long beards. But at this moment, his own image appeared in the river, and the other Haotian images shattered and merged into his body.

Haotian felt his primordial spirit leap out, and his whole body felt much lighter. As the long river sank into silence, he no longer felt any restraint. His fate was no longer controlled by this long river, and he had jumped out of the river of fate!

"boom--"

The void trembled, and the laws surrounding Haotian surged continuously. With a thought, a wisp of imperial aura appeared, causing countless spiritual roots in the Peach Garden to rustle as if expressing their submission.

Haotian closed his eyes, and Qingyun unfolded with a "whoosh," merging his primordial spirit into it. Three flower buds appeared, with the Emperor's Law wrapped around them. Finally, the golden flower of essence began to tremble.

At this moment, not only Yaochi, who was already frightened by the scene, but also the four people who came out of Zixiao Palace were captivated.

The Great Luo Three Flowers lay the foundation for the Dao; whether one becomes an immortal or a saint in the future depends on this gamble.

The golden divine flower trembled continuously, drawing everyone's attention. Finally, it began to slowly bloom. The five elements in Haotian's chest swirled upwards, and the flower of essence instantly began to blossom.

Petal after petal, finally ceasing its trembling at the eighth rank. A look of pain crossed Haotian's brow as he channeled the Emperor's Law into it, roaring in a low voice, "Open for me!"

"Whoosh—"

The golden flower of essence seemed to sense his will. Unable to bear this wisp of imperial law, it trembled for a moment before finally blooming again, then reaching its full bloom. The ninth-grade flower of essence floated between his brows, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

"Good!" Hongjun's loud laughter came from outside Zixiao Palace. Haotian's expression also relaxed. He withdrew the auspicious cloud, and the essence flower, along with the budding spirit flower, merged into his body. His aura slowly subsided, and he stood in front of the peach tree.

Looking at the peach tree that had grown alongside his breakthrough, Haotian's face showed a complex expression. In a sense, this tree could be considered his symbiotic spiritual root, after all, it first received his Lesser Yang Qi and was also nourished by his Daoist charm. Just from its appearance, it was completely different from other peach trees.

The purple-gold patterns on the tree trunk exude nobility, making it a true ancestor of peaches.

"Haotian, you've attained enlightenment! You've been in seclusion for ten thousand years!" Yaochi blinked at Haotian. "And you've grown up! When will I ever grow up?!"

"Once you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, you'll grow up. When Yaochi grows up, she'll be very beautiful, just like I grew up to be very handsome." A golden light flashed on Haotian's body, and he transformed into an ordinary, tall innate Dao body. He took Yaochi's hand and flew towards Zixiao Palace, leaving a golden light trail in the void.

"Haotian/Yaochi pays respects to the Master and the three seniors."

Hongjun's face was full of smiles, while Yangmei, Yin Yang, and Qiankun stared intently at Haotian, as if they were looking at some kind of monster.

A moment later, Hongjun raised his hand, and a gentle force lifted the two of them up: "Not bad, very good."

"You old codger, still so stubborn! You can't even hide your smile anymore. What are you pretending for in front of us!" He raised an eyebrow and snorted lightly, looking directly at Haotian. "Young friend, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Haotian was stunned; he was completely dumbfounded!

With Zu Long in the past and Yang Mei in the future, is he really that sought after?

"Why should I become your disciple? You don't even have a single innate treasure." The Yin-Yang Ancestor shook the Tai Chi diagram in his hand.

"Yes, this humble Taoist's Qiankun Cauldron can even refine innate spiritual treasures. You should become my disciple!" Qiankun Taoist shouted impatiently, not wanting to be outdone.

The three argued incessantly, and Haotian's body stiffened slightly. He couldn't afford to offend any of the three powerful beings, so he had no choice but to offend them all.

"Thank you for your kindness, seniors. Haotian only wishes to become your disciple."

Hongjun laughed loudly, and a disc appeared on the auspicious cloud. An extreme pressure spread throughout the entire Jade Capital Mountain. The three people with Yangmei were immediately shocked, and they stammered, unable to say anything.

Before this supreme treasure of chaos, the Jade Disc of Creation, everything they did was in vain.

"Haotian, do you know why these three fellow Daoists are vying for you?"

Haotian opened his mouth, then whispered, "Is it because of my aptitude, a ninth-grade, three-flowered talent?"

"Yes and no." Hongjun glanced at the three of them, a smug look on his face. "The Great Luo Three Flowers establish the foundation of your Dao. The Nine-Rank Three Flowers does represent your aptitude, but it only indicates how far you can go in the future."

Haotian was startled. He thought that this was what these people were looking at. After all, once the Three Flowers of the Great Luo bloomed, one's future path was completely set. Those who were ranked first, second, or third would only be able to linger in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for life. Those who were ranked first and had the Three Flowers of the Great Luo were like those who had taken the Yellow Plum and could never improve their cultivation.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth ranks are capable of proving the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal, while the seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks have the potential to prove the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal. His ninth rank and three flowers are the highest rank. Aren't these the real reasons why Yang Mei and the other two accepted him as their disciple?

Fortunately, Hongjun didn't let him speculate on his own, and continued to explain: "What we really value is your ability to defy fate. You cultivated to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm with the body of a virgin, breaking through the limitations. This has already surpassed that of ordinary innate gods and demons."

"But the laws you comprehend are your chance to defy fate."

Haotian's gaze was somewhat bewildered as he murmured, "With Master's guidance, and by basing my understanding on the principles of the Great Dao, I have comprehended this law, which should be called the Law of the Emperor."

"That's right, but this law isn't among the Three Thousand Great Laws." Hongjun chuckled. "Do you understand now?"

Haotian suddenly snapped out of his daze, his eyes gleaming: "Master, do you mean this is a law created by your disciple?"

"No, this is the Great Dao you established, the law you inscribed in the heavens and earth. You added another law to the primordial world, and from then on, you have been favored by the heavens." Hongjun laughed loudly.
