I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 585 Three Flowers on Top, Five Qi in the Chest

"Jin'ao Island, I'm back."

Standing atop auspicious clouds, Chu Yang looked down at the familiar islands below and couldn't help but sigh.

More than a thousand years is but a fleeting moment for the primordial world, but for Chu Yang, it felt like an eternity.

This trip was incredibly rewarding.

Chu Yang's cultivation level jumped from Golden Immortal to the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he even obtained Yingzhou Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands!

His true combat strength is comparable to that of Ronaldo!

Jin'ao Island still retains its ethereal grandeur, shrouded in spiritual energy, dotted with exotic flowers and rare herbs, and frequented by cranes and other mythical birds.

However, compared to a thousand years ago, there are now many more disciples, and the faint sound of bells and chimes can be heard, suggesting that the disciples of the Jie Sect are cultivating.

Chu Yang descended from the clouds and slowly walked into the island.

Most of the disciples of the Jie Sect we encountered along the way were unfamiliar faces, presumably newly initiated disciples in the last thousand years.

When they saw Chu Yang, they all looked at him with surprise.

Only those disciples who had joined the sect earlier recognized Chu Yang.

"Senior Brother Xiaolei, you're back?"

"Your cultivation level... wow, it's actually reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!"

"Senior Brother Xiaolei, it's been a long time! I never imagined you'd already broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Congratulations!" A disciple in a blue Daoist robe with a handsome face said, bowing.

Soon, Chu Yang was escorted to the cave dwelling of Daoist Duobao. Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Guiling, and other second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect had been waiting for a long time.

"Junior Brother Chu Yang, it's been a thousand years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved so rapidly, it's truly enviable!" Daoist Duobao laughed heartily and stepped forward to pat Chu Yang on the shoulder.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. I was just lucky," Chu Yang said modestly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Daoist Duobao asked, "Junior Brother, you must have experienced quite a few things on your recent travels. Tell us about them, so that we, who are good at studying from behind closed doors, can broaden our horizons."

Chu Yang then recounted how he obtained Yingzhou Island, visited the Vermilion Bird Clan, and helped them repair the Southern Bright Fire Array. Of course, he temporarily concealed the matter of the Phoenix Clan. Afterwards, he briefly described his cultivation experience on Yingzhou Island, eliciting gasps of amazement from the crowd.

"I never imagined that my junior brother would have such a fortunate opportunity. It's truly enviable," said the Golden Spirit Mother, covering her mouth with a light laugh.

"Junior Brother is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal and controls Yingzhou Immortal Island. His strength is probably no less than ours," said the Holy Mother Wudang.

Chu Yang smiled but didn't reply. His return to Jin'ao Island this time, besides missing his master and fellow disciples, had an even more important purpose: to seek guidance from the Tongtian Sect Master.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Chu Yang went straight to Biyou Palace.

Inside Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader sat upright on a futon, surrounded by purple aura, exuding unparalleled majesty.

"Disciple Chu Yang greets Master." Chu Yang bowed respectfully.

"Get up." The Tongtian Sect Leader opened his eyes and looked at Chu Yang. "It's been a thousand years since we last met. You have broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Not bad."

Chu Yang repeated what he and Duobao had said, but this time he emphasized the bottlenecks he encountered in his cultivation and his confusion about the Great Dao.

After listening, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly and said, "Now that you have mastered the first level of the Chaos Divine Body, your physical strength is comparable to that of a Great Witch, which is excellent. But remember, you must not become obsessed with physical power and neglect your understanding of the Great Dao."

Now that the Lich and Demon races are in decline, it is your time to shine. You must cultivate diligently and attain the Great Luo realm as soon as possible, thus adding strength to our Jie Sect.

As he spoke, the Tongtian Sect Leader extended a finger and touched Chu Yang's brow.

A vast, ocean-like amount of information flooded into Chu Yang's mind.

This is the method to gather the three flowers on the top of the head and the five energies in the chest!

Chu Yang suddenly felt his mind clear, and his cultivation seemed to improve as well.

"Thank you so much, Master, for transmitting the Dharma!" Chu Yang exclaimed excitedly.

"Go and cultivate diligently." The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his hand.

Chu Yang bowed again and then left Biyou Palace.

Even after leaving Biyou Palace, Chu Yang was still immersed in the joy of his master imparting the Dharma.

Cultivating the Three Flowers on the Top of the Head and nurturing the Five Qi in the Chest are essential conditions for advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Now that he has obtained the method, as long as he cultivates diligently, he will soon attain the Great Luo realm.

Strolling on Jin'ao Island, I haven't returned for a thousand years. The scenery on the island remains the same, but the people and things have changed.

He didn't recognize many of the newly initiated disciples, while his familiar fellow disciples had all made significant progress in their cultivation.

"Junior Brother Xiaolei!" A clear voice rang out.

Chu Yang turned his head and saw three ethereal women gracefully approaching. Their pale yellow dresses accentuated their snow-white skin and exquisite features. They were none other than the three goddesses, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

"Junior Brother Xiaolei!"

Qiongxiao, being the most impatient, called out from afar, her voice filled with surprise, "You're finally back! We thought you were going to go into seclusion for thousands of years again!"

Bixiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Senior Brother, you've gained a lot on this trip! Look at your cultivation level, you've already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm! It's truly enviable!"

Yunxiao smiled gently, stepped forward, and said softly, "It's good that Junior Brother has returned safely. His improved cultivation is also a blessing for our Jie Sect."

Chu Yang was well-liked within the Jie Sect, firstly because he had won fair and square against Guang Chengzi during the Jie Sect and Chan Sect's battle of formations, and secondly because he never held anything back from his fellow disciples.

Of course, more importantly, Chu Yang himself is also very strong!

Chu Yang returned the greeting with a cupped hand, "Greetings, three senior sisters. I'm sorry to have worried you. This trip has indeed been quite fruitful."

The three female immortals chattered around Chu Yang, asking him about his experiences on this trip.

Chu Yang shared some interesting stories he encountered with the Vermilion Bird Clan and along the way. Of course, he didn't mention anything about the Phoenix Clan, only saying that he had gotten some opportunities by chance.

"Senior brother, you have no idea how incredibly boring Jin'ao Island has been since you left!"

Qiongxiao complained slightly, "It's all just cultivation, cultivation, cultivation! I'm getting sick from all this boredom!"

"Yes, Senior Brother, you must take us with you on your next trip! Now that the Great Tribulation has passed, Master has also said that we can go out and explore!" Bixiao chimed in.

During the most intense period of the Lich War, the Tongtian Sect Master did indeed issue an order prohibiting his disciples from participating. Of course, when Chu Yang left, it was not yet time for the Lich War, so Chu Yang was not included.

Yunxiao coughed lightly and scolded, "You two, stop fooling around. Junior Brother has finally come back; let him rest."

She then turned to Chu Yang and said softly, "Junior brother, why don't you come to our cave for a chat? Let us give you a proper welcome."

Chu Yang readily agreed and followed the Three Immortals to their cave dwelling.

The cave was decorated in an elegant and tranquil style, with a delicate fragrance rising from the incense burner.

The Three Immortals brought out their treasured spiritual fruits and wines to entertain Chu Yang.

Qiongxiao took out a purplish-red fruit and handed it to Chuyang: "Senior brother, try this Purple Jade Immortal Peach. We managed to 'borrow' it from the Peach Garden, and its taste is absolutely superb!"

Chu Yang took the peach, took a bite, and found it sweet and fragrant, brimming with spiritual energy. He couldn't help but exclaim, "It truly is a wonderful thing!"

After several rounds of drinks, Chu Yang recounted in detail his experiences on Yingzhou Island, how he defeated the island's natives, and how he set up formations to take control of the entire island.

He even conjured up a phantom image of Yingzhou Island, allowing the Three Immortals to enjoy the island's beautiful scenery.

Looking at the island shrouded in mist and ethereal beauty, Yunxiao couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined Yingzhou Island would be so beautiful. It truly deserves to be one of the Three Immortal Islands."

Bixiao's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Chu Yang's sleeve, pleading, "Senior brother, you must take me with you next time you go to Yingzhou Island! I want to go see it too!"

Qiongxiao chimed in, "That's right, senior brother, take us with you! We promise we won't cause you any trouble!"

Seeing the expectant looks in his three junior sisters' eyes, Chu Yang's heart stirred, and he smiled, "Since you three junior sisters are in such high spirits, then in a few days, I will take you all to Yingzhou Island for a visit! The apricots on Yingzhou Island are just ripe, so I'll also invite all my fellow disciples to come and visit!"

The apricots on Yingzhou Island had never been picked. Chu Yang only picked three or five, and apart from offering three to Tongtian, he ate the rest himself.

But there are still hundreds of fruits on the apricot tree that have not been picked.

"Great!" Qiongxiao and Bixiao cheered and jumped for joy, holding Yunxiao's hand and jumping up and down.

A faint smile appeared on Yunxiao's face.

After seeing off the Three Immortals, Chu Yang returned to his cave, sat cross-legged, and sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The methods of the Three Flowers on the Top and the Five Qi in the Chest, taught by the Tongtian Sect Leader, surfaced in his mind.

These three flowers and five energies are the key to becoming a Quasi-Saint. Chu Yang's Chaotic Divine Body was already powerful, and now, combined with this method, it is even more powerful.

He calmed his mind and began to refine his own essence, energy, and spirit, attempting to nurture the three flowers.

Meanwhile, on Jin'ao Island, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were extremely busy preparing for their trip to Yingzhou Island.

After all, it was the cave of their fellow disciple. Their first visit there was also their first time leaving the island after the Lich War.

Yunxiao watched his two younger sisters bustling about and shook his head helplessly: "Safety first when traveling. It's best to prepare more pills and formations for protection. Besides, it's our first time visiting Junior Brother Xiaolei's cave outside; we shouldn't go empty-handed!"

"Eldest sister is right. Let's discuss what gift we should give Junior Brother Xiaolei?"

The news of Chu Yang's seclusion and his invitation to many fellow disciples to visit Yingzhou Island spread like wildfire throughout the entire Jin'ao Island.

In this way, all the disciples of the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island knew about Chu Yang's acquisition of the Three Immortal Islands.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were abuzz with discussion, filled with curiosity about their senior brother Xiao Lei, whom they hadn't seen for a thousand years.

After all, the feat of overpowering Guang Chengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and breaking the Two Elements Micro Dust Array is still a topic of great interest among the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and the Seven Immortal Attendants, all disciples who were on good terms with Chu Yang, were preparing to personally pay him a visit.

The cave was filled with spiritual energy, like a fairyland, where Chu Yang sat cross-legged.

Compared to Yingzhou Island, this place has the same spiritual energy as Yingzhou Island because of the presence of a sage!

The methods taught by the Tongtian Sect Leader were incredibly profound, and through repeated practice, he gradually gained understanding of them.

Above their heads, a wisp of azure energy swirled, gradually coalescing into a phantom image of a budding azure lotus, emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance that soothed the soul.

This is the "Human Flower" among the three flowers, representing the essence, energy, and spirit of a person.

As Chu Yang cultivated, the illusory image of the green lotus became more and more solid, its petals slowly unfolding and finally blooming, just like a real green lotus, lifelike.

"It's done!"

Chu Yang was overjoyed, feeling refreshed and his cultivation had improved considerably.

He did not stop there, but pressed his advantage and continued to refine the second lotus flower—the Earth Flower.

Outside the cave, Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, and others came to visit one after another.

They heard that Chu Yang had gone into seclusion and wanted to come and find out what was going on, and also to offer their congratulations.

Standing outside the cave, Daoist Duobao sensed the rich spiritual energy fluctuations within and couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior Brother Xiaolei is indeed exceptionally talented. It hasn't been long, and he's already about to condense the Three Flowers."

Golden Spirit Mother nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes: "Yes, back then we spent a lot of effort cultivating the Three Flowers. Junior Brother Xiao Lei's progress is so rapid, his future achievements are limitless."

The Holy Mother of Wudang chimed in, "Junior Brother Xiaolei's Chaotic Divine Body was already formidable. Now, with Master's instruction, condensing the Three Flowers is a natural progression. Let's not disturb him; it's not too late to congratulate him after he emerges from seclusion."

Chu Yang did not hide the fact that he was cultivating the Chaos Divine Body from them; in fact, he even shared the cultivation method with them. This was one of the reasons why Chu Yang was loved by many of his fellow disciples.

Once everyone reached an agreement, they did not disturb Chu Yang and dispersed.

Chu Yang was completely oblivious to everything around him; he was immersed in cultivation, single-minded and focused.

The refinement of earth flowers is much more difficult than that of human flowers. It requires connecting oneself with the earth and feeling its weight and vitality.

As time passed, the blue lotus above Chu Yang's head continued to bloom, while at his feet, a ball of yellow light gradually condensed, faintly forming the outline of a lotus flower.

This is the Earth Flower, representing the power of the earth.

The last one is smallpox. At this rate, it will be completed in three to five days.

After all, ordinary cultivators can perfect these three things at the Golden Immortal realm, and at the Taiyi realm, they can temper the five elements in their hearts.

Five days later, inside Chu Yang's cave.

Above Chu Yang's head, a ball of white light gradually condensed, eventually forming a pure white lotus flower, radiating a sacred glow.

This is smallpox, representing the way of heaven.

From this moment on, the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man gathered together, and Chu Yang officially stepped into the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

"Finally done!" Chu Yang was overjoyed, feeling the surging magical power within his body, and a smile appeared on his face.

On Jin'ao Island, news of Chu Yang obtaining Yingzhou Island and going into seclusion for cultivation spread far and wide, and almost all the disciples of the Jie Sect were talking about this legendary senior brother.

"Have you heard? Senior Brother Xiao Lei has obtained Yingzhou Island, which is a legendary blessed land of immortals!"

"Indeed! Senior Brother Xiao Lei is truly amazing. After traveling for a thousand years, he actually found such a blessed immortal land!"

Many disciples of the Jie Sect were filled with admiration and curiosity for this legendary senior brother, looking forward to meeting him soon, and even more so to visiting Yingzhou Island to witness the grandeur of the immortals.

This was also related to what Chu Yang did before he went into seclusion. He used the Three Immortals to send a message to the second and third generation disciples of the Jie Sect, welcoming all the disciples of the Jie Sect to Yingzhou Island.

You should know that the number of disciples of the Jie Sect now exceeds three thousand!

Nearly two thousand inner and outer disciples expressed their desire to go to Yingzhou Island in Chuyang together, creating a great momentum.

This enthusiasm even infected the fortune of the Jie Sect, causing its already rising fortune to surge even more. (End of Chapter)
