546: The Dao Chapter of the Azure Lotus Nirvana

"Old Ancestor."

Zhou Xingqun stared at the figure in the sky, a figure that was both honest and fawning. His expression froze, and it wasn't until the man and the snake landed on the island that he hurriedly went forward and bowed to Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan nodded slightly, then, along with Hai Ruoli, headed towards the Azure Lotus Lake.

Zhou Tailai, looking somewhat embarrassed, landed back on the ground, smiled sheepishly at Zhou Xingqun, and followed the man and the snake with Zhou Xingqun.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you must already know why they are here, right?"

As the lake filled with azure lotuses appeared before them, Hai Ruoli, whose beautiful face had returned to its original state, sighed softly.

"Indeed."

Mo Xuan nodded slightly; he could glean a lot of information from the conversation of those few people.

"Never mind."

By the Azure Lotus Lake, Hai Ruoli paused, a complex expression on her pale face. She glanced back, her gaze falling on Zhou Tailai.

"Why are you looking at me...?"

Zhou Tailai's heart tightened, feeling somewhat uneasy. After all, the earth-shattering battle just now had deeply shaken his mind. The person walking alongside his Old Ancestor was a super expert of the Dao Lord level.

The kind where even listening to a single word or a single glance could cost one's life.

"Your arrival here might be destined."

Hai Ruoli withdrew her gaze, her tone carrying a slight sigh.

"The fundamental Dao that Qing cultivated is called the Azure Lotus Nirvana Dao Canon."

Before Mo Xuan could ask anything, Hai Ruoli continued.

"This Dao has a great connection with the Legacy that you, little Fellow Daoist, cultivate."

Hai Ruoli turned around, pointing a hand forward.

Following Hai Ruoli's pointing finger, Mo Xuan's gaze fell on Zhou Tailai. "It's you again, kid..."

"Me?"

Zhou Tailai looked utterly bewildered. How was this his business again?

"Five Elements Primordial Canon?"

In his moment of confusion, Zhou Tailai remembered the involuntary activation of the Five Elements Primordial Canon on his body earlier and asked in surprise.

"That's right."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the origin of the Five Elements Primordial Canon?"

Hai Ruoli nodded, then asked Mo Xuan beside her.

"I hope Fellow Daoist can inform me."

Mo Xuan shook his head. Although he had brought the Five Elements Primordial Canon back to the Zhou Family from the ruins of the Five Elements Sect when he was in the Lower Realm, he only knew from scattered records of the Five Elements Sect that the crystalline stone pillar carrying the Five Elements Primordial Canon came from beyond the heavens.

He did not know its specific origin.

"Under this heaven and earth, countless cultivators and practitioners of the Dao all share a common goal."

"That is Immortal Ascension."

"In the eyes of Mortals, we are Immortals, but we know ourselves that no matter how high our cultivation, if we do not transcend the Immortal Tribulation and Ascend to the Immortal Realm, we are still bound by the limits of Lifespan."

"However, truly achieving Immortal Ascension is easier said than done."

"The two closest individuals to us who truly achieved Immortal Ascension were two people."

"In the previous epoch, the Dominator of the Western Region's Demon Court, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, attained the Dao and Ascended, becoming a True Immortal and entering the Immortal Realm."

At this point, Hai Ruoli's tone paused, then she continued.

"Before that, there was another person, named Creation True Immortal."

"After his Ascension, he left behind an Immortal Mansion Cave Heaven, named the Creation Immortal Mansion."

"At the time of his Ascension, he left an Immortal decree, stating that those who enter the Immortal Mansion can obtain Creation."

The Chaofeng Ancient Realm was shaken, and countless cultivators flocked to it, attempting to find this Creation Immortal Mansion, to enjoy Creation, and to become True Immortals. Even those Immeasurable Heavenly Venerables who left their marks on countless Realms were no exception.

"However, immortal fate/opportunity is hard to find, and Creation is hard to seek. How could the Creation Immortal Mansion left by the Creation True Immortal be so easily found?"

"Later, after an unknown number of years, one day, Creation suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, and the Immortal Mansion descended."

"And the Five Elements Primordial Canon is the key to entering the Creation Immortal Mansion."

"At that time, the Legacy that Qing cultivated was also the Five Elements Primordial Canon."

"Therefore, when the Immortal Mansion descended, he entered it."

"He found the highest Legacy of the Creation True Immortal, the Five Elements Creation Immortal Strategy!"

"The Five Elements Creation Immortal Strategy, a peerless Legacy for truly becoming an Immortal."

"At that time, there were four others who could contend with Qing upon entering the Immortal Mansion, all of whom were top Prodigies."

"Qing and the four fought a great battle, unable to determine a victor."

"Ultimately, the supreme Immortal Canon, the Five Elements Creation Immortal Strategy, split into five, and was obtained by the five individuals separately."

"Among them, this Azure Lotus Nirvana Dao Canon was obtained by Qing."

As Hai Ruoli's words, cool yet containing a hint of reminiscence, spread, Zhou Tailai's expression gradually became shocked. This was something he couldn't even imagine now.

The Five Elements Primordial Canon actually originated from the Creation True Immortal, a True Immortal.

How could he not be shocked?

Beside Zhou Tailai, Zhou Xingqun, whose face was slightly ordinary, also couldn't hide the shock on his face.

That ordinary fourth-tier Legacy in the Clan actually had such an extraordinary origin...

"Azure Lotus Nirvana Dao Canon... Five Elements Creation Immortal Strategy..."

Mo Xuan's heart trembled slightly. He had thought it was merely a Heavenly Venerate Legacy, but he hadn't expected it to involve an Ascended Immortal.

"What Realm are those other four people in now?"

Zhou Tailai's mind was churning, and he couldn't help but ask aloud.

"I don't know."

"According to Qing, their figures and aura were concealed by the Creation Immortal Mansion, so no one knew what the people who entered the Immortal Mansion obtained, or what they obtained..."

"Even Qing didn't know who those other four people were."

"The reason Qing took action when the Demon Court was at its peak, after achieving the Heavenly Venerate Realm, was because he knew that taking another step forward and finding the other four methods would not be simple, and would take an incredibly long time. That is why he ultimately died and his Dao dissipated."

Hai Ruoli shook her head and said slowly.

"Since you have cultivated the Five Elements Primordial Canon and have come to this place, it seems fate has already made its arrangements."

"Fellow Daoist, I have a request."

Hai Ruoli's eyes were hazy, and she then bowed to Mo Xuan beside her.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak freely."

Mo Xuan's expression became solemn.

"Qing's remains, I wish to keep them here, but Fellow Daoist can send people to this small island to comprehend Qing's Legacy."

"As for whether they gain anything, that will depend entirely on themselves."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Hai Ruoli turned, her eyes filled with a certain determination and hope as she looked at Mo Xuan.

"Old Ancestor..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tailai's face showed anxiety, but he stopped speaking, not continuing further.

He had heard Qing's story; this was a true Human Race sage, an supreme existence who willingly sacrificed himself to save the Human Race nurtured by the Demon Court.

"Good."

Mo Xuan glanced at Hai Ruoli's resolute face and nodded in agreement.

Forcibly seizing the Legacy and eliminating Hai Ruoli would certainly not be difficult, but there was no guarantee that she didn't have a final recourse to destroy everything, turning the Heavenly Venerate Legacy completely into smoke.

Having a method that benefits both sides is naturally better.

Moreover, this also did not align with his original intention.

"Hoo~"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Hai Ruoli's expression relaxed, and a subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on her face.

Then her expression became solemn, and she reached out and pointed at the Azure Lotus Lake.

Buzz~

The azure lotuses swayed, bending towards the center of the lake.

Whoosh!

An enormous thirty-six-petaled azure lotus emerged from the bottom of the lake.

Buzz~

Petals bloomed one by one, revealing a green figure sitting cross-legged inside.

The green figure had closed eyes and a slight, carefree smile on his lips, as if in a deep slumber.

"Qing!"

Zhou Tailai and Zhou Xingqun's expressions shook. This figure had no aura, yet it was unforgettable at first glance, as if a figure was looking at them through the long river of time.

"Go."

Hai Ruoli looked at the figure revealed within the azure lotus, her eyes filled with various past scenes. After a moment, she softly said.

"Why aren't you going quickly?"

Mo Xuan glanced at the somewhat stunned Zhou Tailai, his tone a little disdainful.

"This..."

"Could this be the Opportunity that guided me here in the unseen?"

Zhou Tailai thought of the reason he entered this Inner Sea, but this Opportunity was simply too great...

Zhou Tailai clicked his tongue. Under Mo Xuan's disdainful gaze, he bowed to Hai Ruoli.

He lightly stepped, respectfully landing on an azure lotus in the lake, sitting cross-legged, and began to carefully comprehend.

"Qing left nothing else, only this Legacy. Qing's Heavenly Venerate Dao Weapon was left to Ye Wuqing's descendants and is not here."

Watching Zhou Tailai, who was sitting cross-legged in comprehension, Hai Ruoli explained.

Mo Xuan glanced at Hai Ruoli, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Qing, you will surely return through Nirvana..."

Hai Ruoli's eyes held a hint of hope.

"Hmm?"

Just then, Zhou Xingqun, who was watching Zhou Tailai comprehending the Heavenly Venerate Legacy and didn't know what to feel, suddenly felt his heart tighten, and an indescribable throb emanated from his soul.

Zhou Xingqun abruptly turned, looking towards the direction outside the island.

"Yaoguang... she's here..."
