In the sky of the Western Region, the huge flower that others couldn’t see suddenly swayed.

It had turned a little blurry.

Two of the twelve petals had completely disappeared and two of the remaining ten petals were blurring!

The two missing petals had appeared on Li Mengtu’s forehead!

As the disciple of the Poison Lord, and given that this particular inheritance had been made for him, Li Mengtu had naturally made extremely thorough preparations in advance.

He knew what the inheritance was this time before everyone else.

In fact, he had seen several similar totems well in advance.

He had carefully comprehended each one.

It could be said that he had completed all the necessary groundwork.

Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort in comprehending the Dao of poison.

All of this was accumulated and unleashed at this moment, causing him to have a huge advantage in this comprehension.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing had already fallen behind due to earlier trial and error, which had cost him some valuable time.

He found the correct way in the end and his comprehension speed was also astonishing, but he was still too slow.

This kind of comprehension required not only preparation but also a deep understanding.

It wasn’t merely about imprinting.

One had to truly grasp the essence of the inheritance to fully absorb it.

Li Mengtu had already completed this process in advance, while Xu Qing was just beginning to explore.

As a result, in these initial stages of comprehension, there was a considerable gap between Xu Qing and Li Mengtu.

This scene was quickly sensed by Li Mengtu from the way the essence of the flower in the sky flowed.

His heart relaxed.

“Although I don’t know the reason, there has been an unexpected variable, allowing this person to gain the same qualification to comprehend the inheritance as I have.”

“But… the weak will always be weak.”

“This inheritance was specifically tailored for me by my master. Without the necessary prior preparation, it’s naturally difficult for an outsider to comprehend it. Compared to me, the difference is as vast as that between mud and clouds.”

Li Mengtu’s gaze was cold. At that moment, the third petal was forming rapidly on his forehead.

Meanwhile, on the Main Dao Cliff, Xu Qing’s expression was calm.

At that moment, only about 20% of a petal had gathered on his forehead. It was still very far from completion.

Even though he sensed that the flower of the inheritance in the sky had turned blurry and that the threads scattered to the east were becoming denser and the petals had decreased, he wasn’t anxious.

He knew that he wasn’t the only person with astonishing comprehension in this world, so it was normal for someone’s comprehension to surpass his.

Moreover, the comprehension of this inheritance was originally competition.

It would naturally be good if he could win. If he couldn’t, there was no need to be angry.

“It’s good that my method is correct.”

“This inheritance in the sky is different from the mystical places I’ve been to before. What I need to do is to move it into my sea of consciousness.”

“Just like when I comprehended the Ghost Emperor Mountain back then.”

Xu Qing’s heart was clear as he stared fixedly at the sky. He visualized it over and over again in his mind. Moreover, through this process, he understood the essence of this inheritance.

According to his past experiences, the more he understood, the smoother the comprehension process would be.

However, very soon, during the process of probing the essence, Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed and his thoughts fluctuated.

“This inheritance is…”

So, he decided to pause the transfer and instead focused on the part he had already comprehended. After carefully analyzing and sensing it, his expression gradually became a bit peculiar.

“Poison?”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

He was proficient at poison.

After all, back then, the Poison Restriction in him had already transformed into a divine authority.

Although the Poison Restriction wasn’t within his immortal body but instead remained in his divine body, poison was still the Dao of plants and vegetation.

This Dao was knowledge.

Xu Qing had memorized it in his mind, regardless of the body.

“This is a part of the Dao of plants and vegetation…”

Xu Qing’s thoughts expanded rapidly, and knowledge of various plants resurfaced in his mind. As he revisited the details of the flower associated with this inheritance, he began to discern more nuances.

“This flower has narrow, serrated leaves, rooted in the void, resembling the perennial herbaceous plants, similar to the large mountain orchid, which is known for its illusory properties.”

The twelve petals, each adorned with the face of a woman, express different emotions, embodying the power of desire, akin to the seven emotions grass.”

“Its breath carries a poisonous intent, the tendrils secrete venom, and the leaves are etched with toxic patterns. Even the roots and stems are permeated with poison…””

“This is a poisonous plant…”

“From top to bottom, it contains a hundred poisons. Though it may not seem like much individually, when combined, these poisons blend into thousands of variations, creating something astonishingly potent. The mixture of poisons throughout the entire plant seems even more peculiar.”

“An outsider might not see this, but when I analyze it through my Dao of plants and vegetation, this poisonous plant clearly appears to be artificially cultivated.”

“It must have been developed from over ten million different plants, each contributing unique properties, ultimately creating this. Moreover, something special has been infused into it, raising its level significantly!”

“Such skill is truly astonishing!”

Xu Qing’s heart raced and his expression changed.

The more he understood, the more astonished he became.

“To be able to nurture such poisonous grass, the other party’s Dao of plants has already reached an unbelievable level.”

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, his interest surging to its peak.

“Simply comprehending it won’t be enough; trying to understand it as it is would also fall short. The best method… is to analyze its poison!”

“And poison…”

A dark glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

In an instant, countless pieces of botanical knowledge surfaced in his mind.

He methodically matched them, arranging and integrating them.

He transformed this knowledge into tools.

He used these tools to simulate similar poisons, calculating their toxicity while internalizing the insights in his mind. At the same time, he compared them to the flower in the sky.

In this way, he planned to transfer and imprint the essence of this flower into his sea of consciousness.

Just like that, time flowed by.

In the Li family’s restricted area, on a tall tower, Li Mengtu, who was completely focused on comprehending the inheritance, finally formed the third petal on his forehead.

This process was slower than before.

This was because the further he went, the more difficult it would be to progress. Although he was fully prepared and his comprehension ability was extraordinary, he couldn’t succeed at once.

“Master had said that it will take me about ten days to comprehend this inheritance.”

“From the looks of it now, that’s indeed the case.”

Li Mengtu took a deep breath and was about to continue.

However, at this moment, the inheritance flower in the sky suddenly shook and blurred again.

One of the nine remaining petals… suddenly disappeared!

“Hmm?”

Li Mengtu’s pupils constricted and his killing intent instantly soared. He looked in the direction of the Main Dao Cliff and his expression darkened.

On the Main Dao Cliff, the first petal had already appeared on Xu Qing’s forehead.

“The method is correct!”

Sensing the flower petal on his forehead, Xu Qing felt an immense joy, a happiness he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

This elation came from two sources: the acquisition of the inheritance and the realization that his botanical knowledge was also stirring after a long time.

Through the flower in the sky, he gained a greater understanding of plants and vegetation.

He could finally see a portion of the source of the aura contained in this inheritance that seemed to surpass the power of authority Dao marks.

“This poisonous plant, being artificially cultivated, is unprecedented. Therefore, the moment it was created, it was as if something new was brought into existence!”

“Then, it was fortified, making it so that no second plant like it could ever exist in this world, not even by its creator. Thus, it became unmatched.”

“This uniqueness allowed the plant to become the sole specimen in existence. Combined with its extraordinary level…”

“With the unique Dao, it draws upon the mysterious, forming that aura which surpasses even the power of authority Dao marks?”

Xu Qing’s mind rumbled.

His eyes shone intensely as he stared at the flower in the sky and mumbled a word.

“Ordinance?”

The instant this word came out of his mouth, Xu Qing’s mind suddenly became clear.

After that, he progressed rapidly!

After fifteen minutes, a second petal appeared on his forehead.

An hour later, the third petal formed!

Such a speed was shocking.

He had clearly fallen behind at the start, but now… he was about to catch up to Li Mengtu.

Other than the two of them, no token holders in the entire Western Starfield could sense this scene. Otherwise, if they had been aware, a storm of disbelief would have erupted in their minds.

Xu Qing’s imprinting progress was too fast.

Li Mengtu’s heart trembled violently.

At that moment, there were only three petals on his forehead, while the fourth had only gathered by 40%.

“Who is this person?!”

“He was slow earlier but suddenly, he has become so fast!”

Li Mengtu’s mind roared as his breathing grew rapid. The feeling of watching his own opportunity being taken by someone else ignited a fierce killing intent within him, while an overwhelming sense of urgency surged uncontrollably.

“This can’t go on!”

Determination appeared in Li Mengtu’s eyes.

He still had a trump card that he hadn’t used. Originally, this trump card was planned to be used for progressing ahead after he obtained eight petals.

But now…

Li Mengtu immediately raised his hands, forming a series of hand seals before pressing down on his surroundings.

Instantly, the tower he was on trembled violently, emitting a blinding red light that shot straight into the sky.

This light formed a circular wave, expanding outward with a thunderous roar. One by one, the towers within the Li family’s restricted area erupted, sending red beams of light surging towards the sky.

There were 9,000 tall towers here, and every tower seemed to be enhanced by something that could magnify Li Mengtu’s comprehension.

Now that all of them had erupted, the fourth petal was about to form on his forehead.

With such a speed of comprehension, Li Mengtu still felt that it wasn’t safe. This was because there were only twelve petals. If he was late, the outsider would comprehend even more. He couldn’t accept this.

Hence, Li Mengtu gritted his teeth and took out an item.

It was a scroll!

It emitted an ancient aura. The moment it appeared, the color of the sky changed and wind surged.

This item was his Li clan’s legacy supreme treasure and it was the only one!

It was brought over by their ancestor from his hometown back then. After he passed away, he left a message for his descendants.

“This painting can be used three times. For those below the level of a Quasi Immortal, opening a sliver will seal them. If half of the painting is revealed, a Quasi Immortal will fall. If the entire painting is unveiled, it can mark a Lower Immortal!”

Countless years had passed. For some reason, this painting was strangely not stolen or demanded. It had actually remained in the Li clan’s residence all this time.

Generations of Li descendants attempted to activate the scroll, trying to open it, but all attempts failed.

Only Li Mengtu, whose bloodline seemed to revert to that of the ancestor, could use the scroll. When he gave it his all, he could open it just a sliver.

This was his true foundation for becoming a star!
