Immediately after.

Rushing sound——

The sound of a long river flowing echoed in the ears.

It wasn’t the real sound of water, but the projection and resonance of the time river phantom on the reality plane!

At this moment.

A breeze blew by, and Su Qingying had already appeared in a corner of the courtyard.

At this moment, above the National Master Mansion, a great array had also completely risen, with rolling clouds enveloping the entire mansion.

"Thankfully, I was prepared in advance!" Looking at the strange phenomenon above Jiang Ning’s head, Su Qingying thought to himself.

Under the cover of the array and the clouds, all the commotion was tightly confined within the mansion.

Then, he saw above Jiang Ning’s head, the red, gold, and silver flowers were continuously rotating, and their size drastically increased!

The flowers, originally only the size of a fist, were now proportionally expanding, each solidifying and shining brightly!

And then they were tightly confined within the courtyard.

The red flower of essence burst forth with a surging blood flame, instantly evaporating the snow in the courtyard. The scorching life essence caused the plants in the courtyard to sprout and bloom against the season, revealing bits of new green.

The golden flower of Qi scattered golden light which condensed into tangible golden chains, spreading in all directions, as if extending tentacles from Jiang Ning’s head, grasping the energy of the heavens and earth before absorbing it into his body, channeling it into his Dantian.

The silver flower of Divine Soul completely transformed into a brilliant and real moon, hanging high above, with cold silver light flowing like mercury, illuminating the entire National Master Mansion.

This silver radiance seemed to contain a certain energy. Under its illumination, one’s mind became clear and serene, and Su Qingying gently closed his eyes.

In another courtyard.

Jiang Li also closed his eyes, while Liuu Wanwan retracted her gaze from the distant sky above the courtyard and then looked at Jiang Li beside her.

She couldn’t help but take two steps back.

Because she felt the intangible fluctuations emanating from Jiang Li.

She sensed Jiang Li at this moment, like a vigorous furnace, emitting rolling heat waves, feeling the surging qi-blood and vigorous life force within Jiang Li’s body.

"Is Brother Li... is it because of Ah Ning?" She murmured, looking at the distant crimson, gold, and silver light above the far courtyard.

...

At the same time.

Throughout the Royal Capital, despite the concealment of the National Master Mansion’s array, many strong practitioners were still startled.

Reaching a certain level, one’s spirit resonates with the universe, sensitive to any unusual fluctuations with extraordinary perception.

Observatory, at the star-watching platform.

The blind elder looked towards the direction of the National Master Mansion, though blind, he gave off a deep feeling.

"To stir the heavens and earth, yet still need array concealment. Could it be she has progressed again? But this is too fast, isn’t it? Just a few days ago she caused a stir, and now there’s such a commotion again! What exactly has she been doing these days?!"

...

Martial King Mansion, Xiang Yuan directly burst through the roof, standing on the beam, looking towards the direction of the National Master Mansion.

In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Wuque crushed the teacup in his hand into powder with a "crack," and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he stood in the open field outside.

He looked towards the direction of the National Master Mansion, his eyes solemn.

"This feeling, it’s still the scent of ’Three Flowers Gathering at the Top’!"

"What a pity!" He hesitated for two breaths and shook his head: "What a pity I can’t go see it with my own eyes, to see if it’s really the commotion caused by this State Preceptor, or by him!"

Thinking of this possibility in his mind, he couldn’t help but shake his head again, indicating denial.

...

Divine Might King Mansion, Li Tianwen stood in the cold wind, his robes fluttering, his gaze sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce through the layers of mist gathered by the great array.

"This fluctuation... it’s the Three Flowers!"

Then, he closed his eyes again, with an invisible fluctuation spreading around him.

"And True Spirit..." he murmured.

At that moment, many conjectures emerged in his mind.

...

In the center of the courtyard.

Jiang Ning was completely unaware of the commotion outside.

His entire heart and spirit were immersed in the overwhelming transformation brought about by the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method’s third breakthrough.

Within the Spirit Platform, the silver flower representing the divine was now brilliantly shining, with each sway of the flower spilling not starlight, but strands of silver-like flowing nectar.

It was like honey dripping from the flower.

These silver streams washed over the golden Divine Soul below, solid as a deity.

With continuous washing and baptism, the Divine Soul appeared even more solid.

He also felt that in the perspective of his Divine Soul, the world before him was becoming increasingly clear.

Unknown how long passed.

A bright light shone ahead, and within the golden Divine Soul, a pair of bright, silver-like eyes opened.

These eyes were not real physical eyes but ones entirely composed of pure silver brilliance, containing the birth and death of endless galaxies.

At the instant these eyes opened, Jiang Ning felt a fundamental change in his perspective.

He no longer just perceived the world through his five senses, but also gained a higher-dimensional insight and illumination.

He could see the flow trajectory of every drop of blood within him, the intricate operation of every source of True Yuan, and the frequency of every divine thought’s fluctuation.

He could see the countless tiny energy channels between the three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, witnessing how they interwove, resonated, and constructed that increasingly stable inner world.

Internally and externally, it seemed as if there were no more secrets before him.

At the same time, the semblance of the red, gold, and silver three flowers outside also reached its peak.

The three resplendent flowers that had grown to the size of a soccer ball began to slowly converge and shrink, ultimately forming a stable triangular structure three feet above his head.

Their size once again reverted to the size of a fist.

But compared to before, they had a greater sense of reality, less of an illusion.

The red, gold, and silver brilliance completely merged, separating no more, transforming into a three-color rotating chaotic light pillar that enveloped Jiang Ning within.

Within the light pillar, a vague miniature of a heavenly shadow was forming—above were projections of sun, moon, and stars, below were the veins of mountains and rivers, while in the middle was the meditating figure of Jiang Ning, as if a deity opening the heavens and earth, sitting at the center, governing all.

This was precisely the symbol of the "inner world" about to be completely solidified!

Once this phantom was completely solidified, perfectly merging with Jiang Ning’s physical body, he would officially step into the First Grade Mixed Element Realm, a self-contained world, with Essence, Qi, and Spirit cycling endlessly!

And all of this originated from the changes triggered by the third breakthrough of the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method and the mysteries derived from the three flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Then, he opened his eyes again.

His pupils were filled with pure silver brilliance, seemingly containing the birth and death of billions of galaxies.

"Insight into True Spirit... Deep purple trait!"

Jiang Ning understood in his heart.

It can significantly increase his foundation and his future growth speed.

He could imagine if it were in the Ancient Era, it would be more powerful.

The next moment.

He adjusted briefly, then closed his eyes slightly again, continuing to attempt cultivation.

He wanted to see what efficiency could be achieved when practicing the Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method under current conditions.

Quickly getting into the state, as he fully immersed himself in the state of cultivation.

A prompt quickly appeared before him.

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +289]

[Spirit Platform Cave Illumination True Self Method Experience Value +288]

Seeing the two prompts in succession, he couldn’t help but open his eyes.

"Efficiency is still improving!!" A hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
