Blooming Like a Flower

Chapter 72

"The offspring of the Flower of Desire?"

While Li Changmeng was still in a state of surprise, on the stage, Jiang Lixing and Qin Lianxue were entangled with each other. Pink petals emerged from the ground all around, accompanied by a choking pink mist that blocked the view.

Li Changmeng thought something was wrong and immediately tried to find a way to leave, but the mist surrounded him on all sides.

In an instant, several petals, resembling human hands, quietly wrapped around Li Changmeng. They were incredibly strong and difficult to break free from.

"Did the Zhengxuan Sect finally get the Flower of Desire? What's going on now? Are a group of Nascent Soul cultivators being tricked by this flower?"

When the Flower of Desire was born, Li Changmeng had already sensed its great potential. But at that time, he had no choice but to give it up.

Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the growth potential of the Flower of Desire.

Li Changmeng tried to break free, but the petals were too tough. He could only let them drag him along.

"We pay our respects to the Exalted Deity!"

When the petals stopped, Li Changmeng had already been dragged out of the mist. Jiang Lixing and Qin Lianxue, in a wanton embrace, shouted devoutly towards him.

"Exalted Deity?"

This title made Li Changmeng think of the dependents like the Hair People.

But—Jiang Lixing and Qin Lianxue were not his dependents.

"Exalted Deity, we are the male and female stamens, the spiritual essence of the Flower of Desire, and also your dependents," the two of them explained.

The result given by Li Changmeng's Hundred Eyes Divine Ability confirmed what they said.

They were not human but the male and female stamens of the Flower of Desire.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Li Changmeng could guess that it must be due to the Flower of Desire that they had changed like this.

Just like the Hair People, the abilities of dependents sometimes didn't match their own strength.

The Hair People themselves were very weak. Perhaps a Qi Refining cultivator could deal with them, but their ability to parasitize and seize other bodies was extremely unreasonable.

The Flower of Desire, presumably, was the same. It had turned the Zhengxuan Sect, which had obtained it, into what it was now.

Li Changmeng nodded slightly. As dependents, the male and female stamens were different from the Hair People.

The male and female stamens didn't have an incense channel connected to him. Secondly, they had their own personalities.

Even without orders, they would have their own actions instead of blindly praising his name.

In this regard, if the Hair People didn't receive orders, they would only try their best to publicize his existence.

"I didn't expect the Exalted Deity to descend. Is this a sign of your approval of us?"

Jiang Lixing and Qin Lianxue couldn't contain their excitement. It must be that this Yin-Yang Conference had attracted the attention of the Exalted Deity and made him descend.

"Let's say so," Li Changmeng replied.

As the pink mist dissipated, everyone present was immersed in the realm of Yin and Yang.

Petals grew on and around everyone, presenting a scene that was both absurd and sacred.

Everyone had become an offspring of the Flower of Desire.

"Even Nascent Soul cultivators have no power to resist?"

Li Changmeng remembered that the people sitting at the front were all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Just like this, they had become the offspring of the Flower of Desire, and they didn't even have the strength to resist or struggle.

"Exalted Deity, the Flower of Desire has entered its mature stage. Under the power of the Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure, unless one reaches the Dao Accomplishment Realm in the realm of Dao enlightenment, even a Deity Transformation cultivator will only become a hotbed of desire," Qin Lianxue said at the right time.

"The Dao Accomplishment Realm."

The fifth realm of the realm of Dao enlightenment, the Dao Accomplishment Realm.

In this realm, one's understanding of the Dao reaches its peak, and one completely becomes the Dao.

And after that, one continuously perfects oneself and becomes a new Dao.

It was said that at the beginning of the world, there was only one Dao, and the nearly infinite number of Dao in the world later were all transformed by cultivators.

Even among Deity Transformation cultivators, not all of them could reach this realm.

If that was the case, didn't it mean that with the help of the Flower of Desire, he could almost be invincible in the cultivation world?

At least, he could run amok in the Tianxing Domain.

Li Changmeng didn't expect the Flower of Desire to be so powerful. But with such power, would the other party really be willing to be controlled by him?

Li Changmeng wasn't sure.

The group of cultivators who had become the offspring of the Flower of Desire were still engaged in the most primitive activities.

Even the male and female stamens joined in.

Only Li Changmeng stood on the stage, watching everything below. Thousands of cultivators were indulging in their desires.

This continued for a full three days before this "Dao Discussion Conference" gradually came to an end.

The male and female stamens put on something that could barely be called clothes and came forward holding a pure white fruit.

"Exalted Deity, this is an offering for you."

The fruit was completely white, and there seemed to be nothing unusual on its surface.

When Li Changmeng swept it with his Hundred Eyes Divine Ability, it gave him some information about the fruit.

[Fruit of the Flower of Desire] [Essence of the Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure] [Food]

At least, it could be eaten, and indeed, it had an allure that made one want to take a bite.

Li Changmeng took the Fruit of the Flower of Desire. Since it was just a clone, he had no scruples. He swallowed it in a few bites.

It melted in his mouth, leaving a sweet taste.

Most importantly, Li Changmeng felt the same sensation as when the strange insect had instilled the Dao of Flesh and Blood into him.

The Dao contained in the Fruit of the Flower of Desire was absorbed into Li Changmeng's body.

The Dao of Flesh and Blood reacted and devoured the Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure.

The Flower of Desire had been born from Li Changmeng's power of incense wishes.

Li Changmeng had already discovered that the power of incense wishes was related to the divine itself.

The Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure was derived from a certain aspect of the Dao of Flesh and Blood.

It was as if Li Changmeng had turned a part of the Dao that he hadn't clearly understood into a seed and thrown it out.

Now, the Fruit of the Flower of Desire was the fruit of that seed, allowing Li Changmeng's Dao to grow.

With the integration of the Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure, Li Changmeng's figure emerged and changed.

From his dim and hard-to-detect body, under the huge oppressive shadow, with hundreds of eyes constantly opening and closing to peer around and swaying tentacles caressing...

Strange patterns began to grow on his body, which had lost its specific shape. These patterns were captivating and extremely magnificent.

At a single glance, one could feel the most fundamental pleasure and the most primitive impulse.

The skin under the patterns kept pulsating and swelling, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

Li Changmeng could feel that life was being nurtured within his body.

It wasn't the kind of giving birth to offspring. Instead, his body was embodying his Dao.

After integrating the Dao of Reproduction and Pleasure, his realm of Dao enlightenment was once again improved.

Although he was still in the fourth realm, the manifestation of his Dao body had begun to take shape.

Tiny creatures with certain characteristics of his were continuously being born within his body.

These creatures had no definite form, just a mass. They only grew tentacles to move and eyes to observe the world when needed.

They had no spiritual souls and couldn't even be considered living beings, only having the vitality of the physical body.

Their existence was just a manifestation of Li Changmeng's Dao.

"My cultivation has also reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage."

Just one fruit had allowed Li Changmeng's realm of Dao enlightenment and cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
