Inside the cave, a tri-colored strange flower suspended above Ling Xian’s head and spun around, emitting much light. The rhythm of pulses contained much mysteriousness of the different Daos and the laws of the universe.

The blue petal represented spiritual energy, the red petal represented physique, the green petal represented the soul. Like the legendary flower of the Dao, much heavenly light was poured out, making Ling Xian look like a descended immortal who is undefeatable.

At the same time, the wounds on his body were self-healing. In the blink of an eye, his injuries had fully repaired.

“They are the three vital flowers after all. It truly is as profound as the ocean and infinitely mysterious.”

Feeling the Daos from the flower above his head, Ling Xian exclaimed in ecstasy. Especially after he sensed just how powerful this flower is, a smile blossomed on his face.

Based on what he could sense, the offensive abilities of this flower will be on par with the Disorder Conquering Fists!

This flower’s defensive abilities will also be comparable to the Aurora Light!

This meant, he was now in possession of yet another unparalleled technique. One that is effectively offensive and defensive!

Therefore, why wouldn’t he feel happy?

“It is a cosmic technique after all. I cannot believe the merging of the three flowers would produce such power!”

Ling Xian smiled. Other than happiness in his heart, there was satisfaction.

Now that he had this flower, his fighting abilities grew and his strength grew. And other than this tactic, the Primitive Text also enhanced his fighting abilities by one percent.

Though it is only one percent, don’t forget that before learning the Primitive Text, he was already at the peak of the original level. Even if the improvement is only one percent, it is something that is extremely difficult to achieve.

For him to achieve such results when he has just started learning the Primitive Text has proven that the cosmic technique is no joke!

Other than his capabilities improving, Ling Xian had a bigger gain – he was now in contact with the fifth level’s barrier!

Though he was just in contact, this meant he is only half a step away from the fifth level!

Therefore, as much as Ling Xian was overly excited, he also had much to expect.

“The fifth level… it’s been many years. I cannot believe I have gained the right to level up.”

Ling Xian sighed softly and remembered the legendary fifth level – Path Choosing.

As its name suggests, path choosing means you have to choose a path. The path means Dao, which is the underlying fundamental of gold, wood, water, flame, and so on. It is a shapeless and formless Dao that everyone dreams of.

The important thing isn’t what one chooses, but rather if one has the steady determination and endurance to walk down the path and reach the end of it.

Though this sounds unbelievable, this realm itself isn’t very believable.

Once the cultivator chooses one’s Dao and solidifies its direction, that means half the battle has been fought. The remaining indicates that as long as one’s spiritual energy pushes to the path choosing realm, then one has successfully stepped into the realm.

Once one steps into it, one’s capability will transform from night to day and can easily kill an original leveled cultivator within seconds. Even someone like Ling Xian could be easily suppressed!

One’s status also increases like that.

If an original leveled cultivator can rule the land they are on, then the designation level can truly dominate the world!

Legend had it that 30,000 years ago, at a time when cultivators can still become the omnipotent, the path choosing level is of course nothing. But after the world had changed and times became rough, the path choosing level is as high as the cultivation community now goes!

Yes, they are the most powerful cultivators in today’s world!

Of course, after realizing that he now had the capability to push to the next level, Ling Xian was extremely satisfied and happy and also was in disbelief.

Many years ago, he was merely an ant at the bottom of the foot chain who hoped to become a cultivator. But today, not only was he now a powerhouse at the original level, he was in touch with the highest level in the cultivation community.

One has to admit that he had successfully turned this around. It was a graceful counterattack.

Anyone would exclaim at this and be shocked at this!

“It’s been so many years and I have reached such a level. I will soon be a powerhouse who can look down onto the nine continents and rule the world.”

Ling Xian had high anticipation and expectation.

The designation level!

At a time when all the foreign kinds have weakened, this meant the peak!

Though this wasn’t the peak Ling Xian wants the most, this is without a doubt, an achievement. Once he reaches it, he can proudly look down onto the nine continents and laugh.

“Designation level, wait for me. I am going to climb and dominate you. You were once a peak that was so far away from me but today, you are within reach.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up and his eyes shone with anticipation. Then, he looked over to Huang Jiu Ge, who was sitting there in silence.

To create the flower on top of his head took him five months. In other words, Huang Jiu Ge has been sitting there quietly for five months and hasn’t woken up.

However, Ling Xian was not worried. He knew that Huang Jiu Ge was enlightening herself with the Primitive Test.

Just then, Huang Jiu Ge opened her eyes, revealing a joyous smile.

“You’ve been enlightening for five months. You must’ve had a lot to gain.” Ling Xian softly smiled.

“That’s true. The Daos in there are infinite. I have been taught.”

Huang Jiu Ge’s smile was bright as she continued, “Sadly, I cannot cultivate the Primitive Text.”

“Why not?”

Ling Xian was a little surprised. He frowned, “This cosmic technique can only be cultivated by the human kind?”

“That’s right. As a foreign kind with pure blood, too much naturally clashes. I cannot practice it.”

Huang Jiu Ge nodded and smiled, “But I have learned much about Dao from it. That is enough.”

“I was originally planning on giving you the complete Primitive Text. But since you cannot cultivate it, then I won’t.” Ling Xian shook his head.

“The complete Primitive Text… Master, you completed the Primitive Text?” Huang Jiu Ge’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Pure coincidence.” Ling Xian smiled. He didn’t think the Bible of the Three Flowers would be the introduction for the Primitive Text.

Hearing this, Huang Jiu Ge glanced around and saw that the Goddess of Battles was nowhere to be found, “Master, you didn’t tell her you completed the cosmic technique did you?”

“Of course not.”

Ling Xian smiled. For him to share the incomplete Text was already gracious of him. It was completely his achievement to complete the Primitive Text. Of course, he didn’t tell the Goddess of Battles.

“Then that becomes interesting.”

Huang Jiu Ge forced a smile, “I can imagine just how colorful her expression will be after she sees you displaying the full technique.”

“I can predict that it will be fun.”

Ling Xian laughed, shaking his head. Then, he said in a serious tone, “Only a little more than a month is left until the Competition of the Heaven’s Favorites. I am going to take this time to strengthen myself by enlightening myself with the Primitive Text.”

“Master, do not worry. I will set a barrier and make sure nobody disturbs you.” Huang Jiu Ge had an expression of resolute.

“To be protected by a pure-blooded phoenix, I am not worried.”

Ling Xian smiled and nodded. Then, he sat in a lotus position and his two hands formed into a hand seal.

At once, the tri-colored flower above his head began to emit much light, making him look like an immortal who descended into the world of mortals – divine and untaintable.

He planned on using the last bit of time to study the Primitive Text and become stronger.

Then, he will be ready to fight against all the powerhouses and take the title of the world’s number one!
