23: Twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus

"Inside this Innate Great Formation, there is a treasure fated with me."

Feeling a faint summons within his Primordial Spirit, Taiqing was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect there truly to be a treasure fated with him.

Taiqing stealthily reached out and touched the Innate Great Formation.

However, the Innate Great Formation did not obstruct Taiqing, allowing his hand to pass through it.

"This is...?"

Ao Jiang and Ink Jade Qilin watched in disbelief as Taiqing's hand passed through the Innate Great Formation.

This meant that their master had been recognized by the Innate Great Formation, and the treasure nurtured within was fated with their master.

In contrast, Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang's outstretched hands were blocked by an invisible great formation.

The Dragon and Qilin felt in their hearts that if they were to forcefully Break through the Innate Great Formation, they would suffer a fatal threat from it.

"Never mind, you two guard outside for a while. I'll go in alone."

Clearly, Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang had no fate with the treasure inside.

Forcing it would only leave them bruised and battered.

Leaving the Dragon and Qilin to guard outside, Taiqing stepped into the Innate Great Formation and disappeared.

It was the exact same feeling as when he entered the Innate Great Formation on Mount Buzhou.

After a dizzying spin, Taiqing entered the internal space of the Innate Great Formation.

As soon as he entered the internal space of the Innate Great Formation, Taiqing felt a purifying aura of light wash over him.

The moment that purifying aura of light enveloped him, Taiqing felt his Primordial Spirit stabilize slightly.

"Could it be that Spirit Treasure?"

Taiqing immediately had a guess in his heart.

Following Taiqing's gaze, he looked towards the center of the Innate Great Formation's internal space.

He saw a lake lying quietly within, and in the center of the lake, a huge lotus platform rested.

The lotus platform emitted a sacred white light, and upon closer inspection, it was a twelve-grade lotus platform.

Surrounding the twelve-grade lotus platform were twelve nine-grade lotus platforms, also emitting a sacred white light.

Further out, there were one hundred and forty-four six-grade lotus platforms.

And one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight three-grade lotus platforms.

The lake nurturing the lotus platform was also extraordinary; its water emitted an extremely dangerous aura.

"It's actually the twelve-grade pure world white lotus!"

Upon seeing the twelve-grade sacred white lotus, Taiqing blurted out its name without thinking.

The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the twelve-grade pure world white lotus, possesses the effect of purifying Evil Qi and protecting and suppressing the Primordial Spirit.

Especially purifying Evil Qi, which is the most powerful ability of the pure world white lotus.

Since Great God Pangu opened the heavens, the twelve-grade pure world white lotus has resided on Penglai Immortal Island.

Countless Yuanhui have passed, and this twelve-grade pure world white lotus has actually given birth to twelve nine-grade lotus platforms.

One hundred and forty-four six-grade lotus platforms.

And one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight three-grade lotus platforms.

It was fortunate that the twelve-grade pure world white lotus was nurtured on Penglai Immortal Island, and not born as a companion Spirit Treasure to other powerhouses.

One of the mature lotus seeds of the chaos green lotus transformed into the twenty-four petal primordial chaos green lotus.

Because the creation green lotus was of too high a grade, it was actually a chaos spirit treasure.

It was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao used the hands of the Three Pure Ones to split the creation green lotus.

The creation green lotus transformed into red flowers, white roots, and green lotus leaves.

Then it transformed into the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Coiling Dragon Flat Staff, obtained by Taiqing.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi obtained by Yuqing.

And the Green Ping Sword obtained by Shangqing.

The immature lotus seeds of the chaos green lotus transformed into the twelve-grade pure world white lotus, the twelve-petal karmic fire red lotus, the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit, and the twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus.

Except for the twelve-grade pure world white lotus, the other three lotus platforms were all companion Spirit Treasures of powerhouses in the Great Desolation.

The twelve-grade world-destroying black lotus was the companion Spirit Treasure of Demon Ancestor Luohu.

Although he didn't know which being the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was a companion Spirit Treasure to.

Taiqing knew that the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit had long been obtained by that fellow Hongjun.

As for the twelve-petal karmic fire red lotus, it was the companion Spirit Treasure of Minghe.

These lotus platforms either did not have the function to evolve into lower-grade lotus platforms.

Or, Taiqing guessed that those lotus platforms simply didn't have the opportunity to evolve.

They were refined by powerhouses too early, with no chance to evolve lower-grade lotus platforms.

Or, Taiqing guessed that the Heavenly Dao was secretly at work.

Suppressing the ability of those lotus platforms to evolve lower-grade lotus platforms.

However, the twelve-grade pure world white lotus was nurtured on Penglai Immortal Island.

Penglai Immortal Island was not controlled by the Heavenly Dao at all, which allowed it to evolve so many weaker lotus platforms.

Although these lotus platforms were weak, they were still rare treasures.

Don't you see, in later generations, those two beggars from the West had their twelve-grade golden lotus of merit absorbed by Mosquito Daoist, losing three grades.

The twelve-grade golden lotus of merit was reduced to a nine-grade golden lotus of merit.

Even so, the nine-grade golden lotus of merit was still the supreme treasure of Western Buddhism.

And the twelve-grade pure world white lotus directly evolved twelve nine-grade white lotuses.

"I wonder if the twelve-petal reincarnation purple lotus exists in this Great Desolation?

Father God Pangu did not specify this in his Legacy."

Thinking of the various transformations of the chaos green lotus, Taiqing pondered.

He had indeed heard of the twelve-petal reincarnation purple lotus in his previous life.

This twelve-petal reincarnation purple lotus was actually a crucial item for underworld reincarnation.

It played a vital role in establishing Reincarnation.

But Taiqing had never heard any news of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus in the Great Desolation.

However, the other four lotus platforms, even the twelve-petal karmic fire red lotus that had not yet appeared, and the pure world white lotus he encountered.

Already had a great reputation in the Great Desolation.

"Such an anomaly means either the Reincarnation Purple Lotus is a figment of imagination.

Or, the Heavenly Dao has completely hidden the information of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

This, I'm afraid, is a Heavenly Dao scheme."

If the Reincarnation Purple Lotus truly existed, then Taiqing would once again feel the terror of the Heavenly Dao.

It had started scheming so early.

This Reincarnation Purple Lotus was crucial to Reincarnation, to the Earth Dao, and to Houtu.

If Houtu could not obtain the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, she would not be able to comprehend the Law of Reincarnation.

Furthermore, Houtu would have no reliance for evolving Reincarnation.

Ultimately, Houtu could only transform her body into Reincarnation.

What was the most direct consequence of Houtu transforming her body into Reincarnation? It must be that the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not gather together.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not gather, then they could not unleash the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Great Array, and could not summon Pangu True Body.

Unable to summon Pangu True Body, and with one Ancestral Witch missing.

How would the Witch Race contend with the Yao Race's zhou tian stars Great Array?

Thus, the Witch Race was destined to lose in the Witch-Demon Calamity, destined to suffer heavy casualties, with only a few remaining.

Thus, there would no longer be any existence in the Great Desolation that threatened the Heavenly Dao.

There would no longer be any existence in the Great Desolation that adhered to Pangus Will.

"Hiss~, Heavenly Dao! What a good scheme."

The more he thought about it, the more Taiqing felt it was possible, truly terrifying to contemplate.

Taiqing had never thought about these issues before, but now that he did, he found the Heavenly Dao truly terrifying.

"Regardless of whether the Reincarnation Purple Lotus exists or not, I must confirm this as soon as possible.

If it truly exists, I must find its whereabouts quickly.

The final battle of the Dao-Demon Conflict will soon unfold.

After the Dao-Demon Conflict ends, that fellow Hongjun will soon achieve Dao and become a Saint.

Afterward, the Zixiao Palace's three lectures will harvest the Luck of our Three Pure Ones and the Great Desolation.

With Hongjun's integration with the Dao, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun will become even more powerful.

When the Witch-Demon Calamity unfolds, the situation for our Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches will be dire!"
