Time flew by. It was already the first day of the third month, when the peach blossoms were at their most beautiful.
Southern Phoenix Territory.
Golden Court Grotto-Heaven.
Golden Court Grotto-Heaven was not a grotto-heaven, but a cultivation paradise. It was the name given to the entire Phoenix Mountain.
Cultivators needed the help of the grotto-heaven to break through to the next level. Otherwise, without enough Stellar Source Energy, the breakthrough would fail, and the Stellar Source Sea would drop from the 'Complete Manifestation' to the 'Illumination'. Cultivators only had three opportunities for enlightenment in their lives. If they failed all three times, they would be stuck in the path of cultivation for the rest of their lives.
This was the reason why Yan Shiyi had returned to Phoenix City.
The Golden Court Grotto-Heaven was also in the top ten of the cultivation treasures. Experiments had shown that the higher the grade of the treasures, the higher the success rate and the better the effects. Countless cultivators in the world had spent huge amounts of money just to have a single bestowment here.
The first enlightenment was the most important, as it would determine one's future achievements and heights.
On this day, all of the disciples of Phoenix Hall felt an unusual atmosphere. The originally clear skies were suddenly filled with clouds and winds, as if a storm were about to descend.
At the entrance of the grotto-heaven, the disciples of Phoenix Hall had already gathered, chattering like a lark.
"Do you think Eleventh Brother is really going to break through today?"
"The Hall Master said it's today. Are you going to question her judgment?"
"Stop talking. Anyway, whether it's today or not, didn't Liumu Bingjian already give us the answer?"
"What answer?"
"What is Eleventh Brother now?"
"Eleventh Brother is Eleventh Brother."
"Stupid. Eleventh Brother is now ranked eleventh on the Prodigy Roll. Think about it, if Liumu Bingjian wasn't sure that Eleventh Brother would break through, would she put him on the roll in advance?"
"She is still trustworthy. After all, she is known as the Ice Lotus Goddess of War. Demons will be scared witless upon hearing her name."
"What witless witless? Her words are not elegant at all."
"Hmph, didn't you say that too..."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing about meaningless things. Let's guess, what will happen to Eleventh Brother after he breaks through?"
"He will definitely be more handsome."
"Love-Struck fool!"
This was a fairyland with lush green grass and fragrant flowers.
Gu Qingyou was standing behind a beautiful woman in a nearby pavilion. As she listened to the discussions of her junior sisters, her face gradually turned cold. "Palace Mistress, I think their minds have been disturbed. They need to calm down. If this continues, it will be detrimental to their cultivation."
The beautiful woman was dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous palace dress, which was embroidered with vermillion ruyi. Her black hair was tied up in a lotus bun, and there was a golden hairpin with phoenix auspiciousness in the sky. The tassels hanging down from the hairpin were made of agate jade.
Her face didn't seem to be more than thirty years old. She had a relaxed expression, and below her slender neck were tall and straight peaks that didn't lose out to a young woman's. Every movement she made was filled with grace and luxury.
"Sometimes you don't have to be too serious, child." Her voice was soft and gentle, like the wind blowing in his ear from his mother when he was still a baby.
She glanced at Gu Qingyou again and said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you not to call me Lord when there's no one around?"
"Great-grandmother …" Gu Qingyou said helplessly, "You don't seem to be much older than me. I always feel awkward calling you that."
The beautiful woman pursed her lips and smiled, "If I didn't know your personality, I would definitely think that you have a sweet mouth."
Gu Qingyou couldn't help but laugh, "I actually inadvertently praised you."
After saying that, she smiled again, "But, you don't know, ever since this Yan Shiyi appeared, these people have become more and more presumptuous. They are almost like demons. Every day, they only think about dressing up. How can they still have the mood to cultivate?"
The beautiful woman grabbed her hand and gestured for her to sit next to her. Then she said, "In life, you must stick to what you should, but since the rules are set by people, it's not a bad thing to be a little more relaxed. You are about the same age as them. Don't do things rigidly. It's better to be a little more youthful. "
Gu Qingyou sat down and said softly, "Phoenix Hall is such a big family to take care of. How can I slack off? Uncle wants to climb up to a higher branch. Phoenix Hall is your lifetime's work, so you can't give it to him. "
The beautiful woman grabbed her hand even tighter and said, "You and Xijun are both very sensible."
Gu Qingyou bit her teeth and didn't say anything.
The beautiful woman said again, "I heard that Caiwei went down the mountain?"
"Yes." Gu Qingyou became cold.
The beautiful woman said, "Why didn't she come to see me?"
Gu Qingyou said coldly, "She went to Flame City."
The beautiful woman said, "You still hate her?"
"If it wasn't for her, mother wouldn't have died," Gu Qingyou said coldly.
The beautiful woman sighed and said, "That's Xijun's fate. No one can blame her."
After a pause, she said with a smile, "I can see that you don't blame her anymore."
"How can that be!" Gu Qingyou's body trembled and she turned her face away.
The beautiful woman said with a smile, "Then how do you know she went to Flame City?"
Gu Qingyou said, "My subordinates told me."
"If you didn't specifically tell them, why would they pay special attention?" The beautiful woman said with a smile.
Gu Qingyou was silent.
The beautiful woman patted her hand. "The next time she comes back, be nicer. There's no hatred between sisters that can't be resolved."
She suddenly raised her head and her beautiful eyes flashed. "It's starting!"
Gu Qingyou turned his head to look and saw dark clouds covering the sky and the sun.
In the sky above the Hidden Realm, a Swimming Dragon soared into the sky.
"What is that?" Gu Qingyou asked in surprise.
"True name." The beautiful woman's consciousness swept over and raised her eyebrows. "A true name of this grade, and yet no Confucian orthodoxy is fighting for it? Are there too many geniuses in the Jambu Realm?"
Gu Qingyou said disdainfully, "Isn't it just a dragon?"
The beautiful woman said, "The dragon is just in its embryonic form. Its true form is just beginning to show."
The Swimming Dragon opened its mouth and inhaled madly. Stars shone in the sky.
Gu Qingyou sucked in a breath of cold air. He knew that a true name of this grade was infinitely close to the first grade. It was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in the entire Jambu Realm.
Innumerable stars fell from the sky.
They landed on the Swimming Dragon.
A clear and melodious dragon roar.
Nine rays of light that could be seen clearly even in the daytime instantly split up into nine different directions in the world.
Each direction occupied a beam of light and evolved into various shapes.
The nine different shapes were very similar to the legendary mythological beasts.
An indescribable aura covered a radius of several hundred li, which was the entire range of Phoenix Mountain.
Every breath they took would trigger lightning and thunder, as if they were resonating with each other. The stars in the sky shone brighter and brighter, and a huge amount of star power was cast down.
The beautiful woman murmured, "It's actually a dragon that gave birth to nine sons. This has only happened once in the 10,000 years of history of the cultivation world."
