10: Void Laws, Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus

[Ding! Fusion successful. Reward: Void Law!]

[Void Law: A type of Law of Space. Allows one to escape into the Void Realm's alternate worlds. The stronger the Law, the longer one can stay in the alternate world space!]

[Note: Current Void Law (10%)]

"Success!"

"I bet right!"

After reading the information appearing on the panel, the corners of Li Yun's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Void Law!

To him, this was simply a powerful Law bestowed by heaven.

Not only did it preserve the Void Pagoda's ability to escape into alternate spaces, but it was even enhanced to a certain extent, and he no longer needed to have the Void Pagoda hovering over his head.

This way, he would be much safer. Without the Void Pagoda acting as a conspicuous target, he could escape into alternate space in moments of crisis, completely avoiding many death traps and fatal dangers.

Furthermore, the Void Law was more than just that.

It also possessed immense offensive power and destructive force, though it would only manifest once it reached a certain level.

"Good, good, good~"

After shouting his approval three times, Li Yun felt completely refreshed.

The gains from this trip to the Wu Clan were truly beyond his expectations, giving him even more confidence to establish himself in the Great Desolation.

Thinking of this, Li Yun no longer hesitated. With a thought, his vision entered directly into the middle dantian space.

The Void Pagoda had finished its Fusion; next was the creation green lotus he had originally planned for.

Although it hadn't reached twenty-four grades yet, he didn't intend to wait any longer. Thousands or tens of thousands of years was too long to wait. What he needed to do now was to continuously grow stronger and improve himself.

"Eh?"

Just then, Li Yun's expression changed.

As far as he could see, the entire middle dantian space had undergone a massive transformation. The green lotus pond occupied about one-tenth of the area.

But unlike the dense clusters of green lotuses when they were first collected, there was now only one twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus and one twelve-grade creation azure lotus left in the pond.

Aside from those, all the other green lotuses had vanished. The rippling blue pond water churned, and the radiance of gold, silver, and yellow was dazzling.

"three-light divine water!"

Seeing the colors of the pond water, a thought immediately surfaced in Li Yun's mind.

Immediately after, he became excited.

three-light divine water—that was a top-tier divine water containing immense Life force.

During the era of the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong knocked over the ginseng fruit tree. He sought help from all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens to no avail, but in the end, Guanyin used three-light divine water to revive it.

And that was just a single drop of three-light divine water, yet he now had an entire pond of it, likely weighing over a hundred tons. How immense was its value?

*Gulp.*

Swallowing hard, Li Yun with difficulty shifted his gaze to the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus and the twelve-grade creation azure lotus.

Unsurprisingly, the evolution of the two must have been caused by absorbing the other green lotuses.

However, he didn't quite understand why the creation green lotus hadn't done this back in the valley, only devouring the other lotuses to evolve itself after entering his middle dantian space.

But despite his confusion and lack of understanding...

...this was still fantastic news for him. After all, a twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus was absolutely complete, and integrating it would yield the greatest benefits.

With that thought, Li Yun summoned the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus with a single movement of his mind.

*Buzz... buzz...*

In an instant, the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus vibrated.

Returning to the Great Desolation once more, it began to rapidly absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The entire area started to manifest celestial phenomena indicating the maturation of an innate spiritual root.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Li Yun's expression changed drastically.

This mature creation green lotus was actually triggering celestial phenomena. This would likely attract the attention of countless Cultivators. With his mere Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, if he encountered other Cultivators, he really wouldn't be able to protect it.

Although he had caused the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus to mature early, this item was destined to be an Opportunity for the Three Pure Ones.

Now that it had appeared early, were the Three Pure Ones also within the range of Mount Buzhou? If so, they might very well charge straight here without even waiting for the phenomena to fully manifest.

"No, I absolutely cannot wait any longer."

"I must integrate it as quickly as possible!"

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Li Yun didn't hesitate; he stepped forward, reached out to touch the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus, and said, "Fusion!"

In the next second, a special mark on Li Yun's hand glowed brilliantly.

As the power of Fusion surged out, the twenty-four-grade creation azure lotus was quickly enveloped in light, finally turning into a streak of green light that bored into Li Yun's upper dantian.

At the same time, the newly born celestial phenomena came to an abrupt halt and then dispersed at a visible rate... "How can this be? It actually disappeared."

"The phenomena have vanished. Has someone already beaten us to it?"

"Damn it! Who is it? Who dared to snatch the Opportunity of us three brothers? They truly deserve a thousand deaths!"

"..."

In the sky about five hundred miles away from where Li Yun was in seclusion, the Three Pure Ones—appearing as an old man, a middle-aged man, and a youth—floated in mid-air.

Watching the dissipating celestial phenomena, the expressions of Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian were all incredibly grim.

Previously, while they were at Kunlun Mountain, they felt that an Opportunity had been snatched, which forced them to end their seclusion to stabilize their minds.

Later, the Three Pure Ones joined forces to perform a divination, calculating that the location of the stolen Opportunity was at Mount Buzhou, and that there were even more Opportunities belonging to them within Mount Buzhou.

Because of this, the Three Pure Ones hurried to Mount Buzhou to search for their Opportunities.

When they saw the celestial phenomena earlier, all three of them sensed that it seemed to be an Opportunity belonging to them, and a vital one at that.

They thought this mission was a sure thing, but they never expected that shortly after they approached, the phenomena would vanish. Their Opportunity had been snatched by someone else once again. How could they possibly accept this?

"I don't believe it! I won't believe it!"

"Who is it? No matter where you are, I will find you and tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

"To snatch my Opportunity, you have already found the path to your own death!"

Yuanshi's angry roar resounded as his Grand Unity Golden Immortal magic power erupted. One Divine Ability after another swept out frantically in all directions as if they cost nothing.

*Rumble—*

*Rumble—*

For a time, the sounds of explosions were continuous.

Following Yuanshi's actions, countless Yao Beasts in this area wailed and died miserable deaths. Even the Great Divine Power Holders who had been drawn here sensed the commotion.

Seeing the rampaging Yuanshi and the grim-faced Laozi and Tongtian, no one dared to rashly come forward to disturb or dissuade them.

It took a full hour before Yuanshi finished venting his rage.

Looking at the area that had been reduced to Ruin, Yuanshi gnashed his teeth and turned back to Laozi and Tongtian's side.

Just then, Laozi spoke quietly, "Let's go, second brother, third brother. Let's continue searching for Opportunities!"

"Mount Buzhou was formed from Pangu; there are bound to be other Opportunities within it."

At these words, both Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded.

Immediately after, the Three Pure Ones ignored the Cultivators watching from a distance and turned to fly off in one direction.

The actions of the Three Pure Ones also made the distant Cultivators wake up as if from a dream.

Just as Laozi had said.

Mount Buzhou was formed from Pangu. Although they didn't know who had snatched this Opportunity, it didn't mean there weren't others within.

With this thought, the Cultivators began to set off in groups of three or five on a treasure-hunting journey within Mount Buzhou!
