306: Our Lady of White Lotus!
Above the vast and boundless sky, an enormous island, as if held aloft by an invisible giant hand, floated silently ten thousand feet high.
Miles of clouds and mist swirled like thin veils, sometimes concealing the island, and sometimes allowing its mysterious outline to appear faintly.
On the surface of this island, two hunched Old Ancestors floated in mid-air.
Their emaciated hands danced wildly, continuously injecting the surging power within their bodies into the strange red crystal before them.
The red crystal emitted a profound light, its crimson glow pulsating as if in sync with the breath of Heaven and Earth Laws.
One could tell at a glance that it was the core of a crucial formation's eye.
One of the Old Ancestors wore a long, dark green robe, which seemed to be woven from countless shadows of the night sky, shimmering with an enchanting luster.
As time passed, the expression on the Old Ancestor's wrinkled face grew increasingly ferocious and terrifying, like a Hell demon enraged!
Finally, this dark green robed Old Ancestor could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and let out a long roar towards the sky, his voice like rolling thunder, shaking the surrounding clouds and mist.
"This old man is furious! Lu Xuan, you arrogant madman who bullies others too much!"
This Old Ancestor who furiously cursed Lu Xuan was none other than the Old Ancestor of the Luo Family, one of the Eight Great Families.
In recent days, this Luo Family Old Ancestor had continuously received urgent messages from his descendants.
In almost every Secret Realm, the cream of the crop among the Luo Family's younger generation had been mercilessly slaughtered by this junior, Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's ruthless methods, like sharp blades, pierced the Luo Family Old Ancestor's heart, making him grit his teeth with hatred for Lu Xuan, wishing he could devour his flesh and drink his blood.
However, when the Luo Family Old Ancestor cursed in anger, he had long since forgotten his own past evil deeds of wanting to send people to bloodbath the Lu Family.
"Damn it!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor clenched his fists in fury, his eyes burning with raging anger, "If not for this formation's eye holding me back, this old man would surely make this junior Lu Xuan pay a painful price for his actions!"
Facing Lu Xuan, a Void Realm True Lord, the Luo Family's core Bloodline, on whom great hopes were placed, was already in precarious danger, almost completely wiped out.
The Old Ancestor opposite the Luo Family Old Ancestor also had a fierce expression; he was the Ancestor of the Wu Family.
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Wu Family's heart was also filled with anger and humiliation.
Because the Luo Family was not the only Family to suffer this calamity.
The descendants of his own Wu Family had also suffered heavy losses at the hands of Lu Xuan.
Just thinking about that damned Yao Beast, the Ancestor of the Wu Family felt a piercing humiliation.
As dignified Void Realm True Lords, they had always been high and mighty in the cultivation world, yet in an instant, they had become Puppets of the Yao Race.
That incredibly terrifying Yao Beast had planted a fatal World Law power within the bodies of their ten Void Realm True Lords.
This power, like a maggot attached to a bone, constantly threatened their lives, forcing them to bow down to the Yao Beast.
This was also why these Void Realm True Lords were willing to suppress this formation's eye with their Physical Body.
Five of the Eight Great Families.
The Luo Family, the Wu Family, the Guyue Family, the Jiang family, and the Tang Family.
As well as the Five Transcendent Forces.
Dao Xu Sect, Jingxin Temple, Sword Spirit Sect, Extreme Flame Holy Gate, and Xuan Yin Immortal Palace!
At once, the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family instinctively raised their eyes and exchanged a glance.
In their turbid eyes, an endless fire of humiliation burned.
No matter who it was, as top-tier human Martial Artists like Void Realm True Lords, being enslaved by a Yao Beast would stir deep despair and unwillingness in their hearts.
This despair was like a heavy dark cloud, pressing down on their hearts, unable to be dispelled.
Yet, at this very moment, these beings who were once high and mighty could no longer decide their own lives.
"How ironic!"
"The once majestic Eight Great Families have now become slaves to a Yao Beast."
These two sentences were like fine needles piercing their eardrums; the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family both grunted simultaneously.
The strange power contained in that voice made them extremely wary!
"Who is it!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor narrowed his eyes, his dark green robe moving without wind, as he roared towards the surroundings.
His withered finger slashed through the Void Realm, and hundreds of green light pillars of Heaven and Earth Laws, tearing through space, instantly formed, shattering the surrounding space.
Space suddenly solidified.
The flying green light pillars were frozen in mid-air, even the light spots radiating from them were still.
The eyes of both the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family immediately showed horror.
In an instant, stars shifted, Heaven and Earth inverted, and countless scenes began to become illusory and unfamiliar.
By the time they both came to their senses, they were already in an boundless white spirit mirror world.
Beneath their feet was a mirror-like surface, smooth as water, reflecting the hunched figures of the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the other Old Ancestor.
Above their heads, the sky had no sun, moon, or stars, only pure white light gently falling.
"This is..."
The Ancestor of the Wu Family's pupils contracted, his voice filled with wariness and surprise.
This somewhat familiar and strange Aura, the Ancestor of the Wu Family seemed to have already guessed who it was in his heart.
At this moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the pure and flawless white mirror surface.
A pure white lotus broke through the "Void Realm" and emerged, its petals unfurling with a clear, jade-like chime.
Followed by the second, the third...
In a blink of an eye, ten thousand white lotuses bloomed, and a strange fragrance, elegant yet peculiar, permeated the air.
"It's you demons!"
"Netherworld White Lotus Sect!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor roared, his Aperture Void Realm Minor Achievement Aura completely erupting.
A violent storm of Heaven and Earth Laws swept out, crushing all the surrounding white lotuses.
White light spots scattered across the sky, like a reverse snow shower.
"It really is the Netherworld White Lotus Sect!"
The Ancestor of the Wu Family's voice carried a hint of solemnity, and even some disbelief.
This was enough to show how much shock the appearance of the Netherworld White Lotus Sect had brought to both the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the Luo Family Old Ancestor.
However, no sooner had the Ancestor of the Wu Family's voice fallen than a shocking scene reappeared.
The white lotus light spots that had just been shattered suddenly froze, then flowed back to the center, actually re-condensing at a visible speed.
Their forms were perfect, restored to their original blooming appearance, and the sacred Aura grew even more intense.
At the convergence of those light spots, a woman in a white dress stood gracefully.
The woman in the white dress had skin as white as snow, and a delicate face like a work of art meticulously carved by the heavens.
Her bare feet stepped on the mirror surface, each step rippling with white lotus-shaped illusions.
However, the white-dressed woman's eyes were incredibly cold, her gaze, indifferent to all living beings, shot straight at the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family, as if she were scrutinizing them both.
"White Lotus Holy Mother!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor's roar was mixed with unconcealed shock and anger. "Hmph, you evil demon, how dare you brazenly step into the Fell Spirit Ruin!"
Although the Aura emanating from the White Lotus Holy Mother before him was strange and unpredictable.
The Luo Family Old Ancestor, relying on his Aperture Void Realm Minor Achievement cultivation, still feigned composure on his face, not showing too much fear.
However, in the next moment, the situation changed dramatically.
The Luo Family Old Ancestor instantly realized that he had made a huge mistake, and a ridiculously big one.
The originally silent white world suddenly solidified, the air seemed to be squeezed by an invisible giant hand,
Immediately after, countless world Law and order chains, emitting a chilling white light, surged out from every corner of Heaven and Earth.
These terrifying World Law chains firmly sealed the space around the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the other Old Ancestor.
"World Power!"
The Ancestor of the Wu Family was the first to react, his voice becoming sharp and piercing with terror, "You... you!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor was equally dumbfounded, looking at the surging World Law and order chains, and said with a trembling voice: "You demon, how could you have Broken through to the Earth VenerableRealm!"
In an instant, an overwhelming suppressive force surged forth, as if to crush everything in the world into dust.
Under the pressure of this terrifying power, the bodies of the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family involuntarily bent.
Every bone creaked under the immense strain, as if they were using their Physical Body to withstand the entire vast and boundless world.
At this moment, they both finally realized that facing the White Lotus Holy Mother at the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm.
Their so-called Void Realm True Lord cultivation was as insignificant as ants.
Damn it!
Both the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family were frantically cursing in their hearts.
In the long history of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm was an supreme powerful being in myths and legends.
How could two supreme powerful beings at the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm suddenly appear in less than a year?
How the Hell are we supposed to play this!
Don't tell us that there will be another Earth Venerable Realm Master appearing next.
If there were indeed other Earth Venerable Realm Masters appearing, then the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the other Old Ancestor would probably wish they were dead.
The White Lotus Holy Mother gently waved her jade hand, the sacred light surrounding her rippled slightly, and her voice, as if coming from the Nine Heavens, carried an unquestionable majesty.
"This Venerable will give you people an Opportunity."
Hand over the ten-pattern sun relic, serve my Holy Sect's White lotus True Immortal, and you can be spared this endless suffering, and even obtain a supreme Opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the Luo Family Old Ancestor seemed to be under a spell, instantly frozen in place, then slowly exchanged glances, their eyes full of hesitation.
Join the Netherworld White Lotus Sect?
They had no strong resistance to joining the Netherworld White Lotus Sect.
To them, it was merely changing masters.
Since they were already enslaved by that Yao Emperor, changing to another supreme powerful being at the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm would not hurt.
But the problem was—the ten-pattern sun relic!
The hearts of the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the other Old Ancestor felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer.
This ten-pattern sun relic was the very Foundation and lifeline of the Eight Great Families.
The ten-pattern sun relic not only contained a wisp of mysterious World Law power but also hid many unknown secrets, concerning the rise and fall of the Family.
In the vast Great Xia Dynasty, there were only thirteen ten-pattern sun relics in total.
And they all came from the Fell Spirit Ruin, and had always been regarded as treasures by the Great Xia Dynasty, the Eight Great Families, and the Five Transcendent Forces, guarded for generations.
Thinking of this, the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family braced themselves and took half a step forward, their voices carrying a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
"Senior, to be honest, we two are currently enslaved by a Yao Emperor."
"This Yao Emperor has planted a fatal power within our bodies."
"As long as we show the slightest disobedience, our lives will be in danger."
"Even if we wanted to agree to your conditions, we are powerless!"
Senior!
In an instant, the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family, who had just been fiercely cursing the White Lotus Holy Mother with every other word as "demon," immediately changed their tune.
They respectfully called out the two words "Senior," their tone full of flattery and fawning.
Having struggled in the Martial Artist cultivation world for many years, they both knew better than anyone else.
The so-called distinction between good and evil was merely a facade under the power struggle.
In the face of absolute strength, all moral principles could be arbitrarily rewritten.
The White Lotus Holy Mother displayed the terrifying strength of the Earth VenerableRealm, a power capable of turning the world upside down, determining their life and death, so how could they not bow their heads?
As long as the other party possessed the power to suppress the world, their actions were naturally righteous.
Even if she killed a million people a day, it would be to clear up the chaos in the world and free the common people from suffering!
And the words spoken by the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the Luo Family Old Ancestor above, on the surface, were to complain and show weakness, but in reality, they contained hidden probes and suspicions.
The two secretly calculated in their hearts that being enslaved by that Yao Emperor was already a fact.
But this White Lotus Holy Mother, at the Earth Venerable Realm Master Realm, suddenly appeared and demanded the ten-pattern sun relic.
What was her true intention behind this?
Could it be that she also knew that secret!
The ten-pattern sun relic involved the Lingxu Master Luoxu!
Once the thirteen Sun-level sacrificial artifacts were gathered, that would be the time for the Legacy of this half-step Immortal Luoxu to appear.
The Ancestor of the Wu Family and the Luo Family Old Ancestor secretly glanced at the White Lotus Holy Mother, but saw that her expression was indifferent, her fair face calm and unperturbed, without a trace of human emotion.
Just as the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the other Old Ancestor were in an internal struggle, the White Lotus Holy Mother slightly raised her jade hand.
The World Law chains that had originally sealed the space around the Ancestor of the Wu Family and the Luo Family Old Ancestor so tightly that not even a breath of air could pass through, as if controlled by an invisible giant hand, suddenly contracted inward.
"Ah!"
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Two different shrill screams instantly pierced the silent white world.
The bodies of the Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family twisted violently like leaves in the wind.
The terrifying power emanating from the World Law chains was like countless sharp steel knives, cutting their flesh and piercing their Souls.
"Senior, spare our lives!"
The Luo Family Old Ancestor shrieked, his words filled with deep fear, "We are willing to offer the ten-pattern sun relic, we beg you, Senior, to show mercy!"
At this moment, the Ancestor of the Wu Family also squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "We... absolutely have... no intention of resisting... please, Senior... spare our lives!"
At this moment, under the immense pressure of life and death, they both instantly cast aside their calculations and doubts, only wishing to save their lives.
The white light in the White Lotus Holy Mother's eyes flared, illuminating the entire white world, as if to purify all darkness.
"Bring those eight people to see this Venerable too!"
"As for the Yao Emperor power within your bodies, this Venerable will leave a trace of power to eliminate it at a critical moment."
She kept these people from the Eight Great Families, naturally, to deal with that Yao Emperor, Old Ancestor Yiyu.
And also her old rival, the Female Emperor of Great Xia, Xia Mingyue!
The Luo Family Old Ancestor and the Ancestor of the Wu Family, upon receiving the White Lotus Holy Mother's assurance, felt as if they had been granted a great pardon, and scrambled away from this terrifying white world.
No sooner had their figures disappeared than the White Lotus Holy Mother's cold and lingering voice echoed in the once silent white world.
"Lu Xuan—"
These two words slowly emerged from her mouth, as if carrying a special magic, lingering in the air.
The White Lotus Holy Mother finally showed a hint of human emotion.
She slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, a complex light flickering within them, appearing curious, greedy, and also containing a faint, imperceptible hint of something unusual.
The secrets on Lu Xuan's body were definitely not simple!
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan, who was frantically sweeping through the Secret Realm of the Fell Spirit Ruin, naturally had no idea.
Invisibly, he had once again attracted the covetous gaze of an Earth Venerable Realm Master.
