      Ooo so Three Flowers Gathering at Crown is not a level. So maybe it’s better to level up other things like techniques, internal energy, dharma power, eye tech, step tech, fist tech, sword tech, etc. before achieving three flowers state.

      So if you achieve three flowers early, you kinda f*cked yourself and becoming a transcendent will take longer

        Pretty sure it is a level and the origin one isn’t, it’s just a martial art. The three crowns is needed, without it he can not move as well as he could because his speed doesn’t match his will and mind. It’s why the mind sword was so fast. It seems more like this origin one is a side affect of martial arts becoming one with spirit and mind. What martial arts is and the core behind their creation. Imagery and the person melds into their martial arts. Some can use that facet and create a martial art that holds the essence of everything they’ve ever accomplished into one move through this side affect. And that’s what the origin is. A lot of people we’ve seen learned martial arts while still having the 3 crowns like 7th Apostle and all the black ranks as they’re taking in Jeong’s teachings. Currently at his level he absolutely needs the 3 crowns otherwise he would die. It was the only reason he was able to defeat Zhuge head

        That’s not what I got from that at all. While yes, various techniques are needed to craft an ultimate move, you can only start melting them all together once you reach three crowns.
        So saying that reaching three crowns early, results in peerless being harder to achieve, doesn’t make sense

        “When you achieve the state of unity of essence, energy, and spirit, your mental imagery begins to meld with your martial arts. Eventually, you’ll penetrate all the martial arts you’ve cultivated with a single technique. Those worthy of discussing purple call it Five Qi Returning to the Origin or Transcendent Martial Arts.”

          There isn’t a rule to get three crowns to start crafting an ultimate martial art. Like Grandpa Ma said, three crowns is a stepping stone to start embodying all of your accumulated martial arts into a single technique/art/sutra/mantra whatever
