Chapter 233 Capturing the White Lotus Saint Master

Countless white lotuses bloomed, and faces chanted in unison:

"The common people of the floating world, illuminated by the lotus flower!"

Within a single palm strike, there was the terrifying Aura of suppressing the heavens, the vast and endless eerie sound waves, and the mysterious power to convert human hearts.

Within a radius of over ten miles, everything was under the pressure of the Floating World Lotus Palm.

Keng!

Only a crisp saber ring could be heard.

The sound directly drowned out the chanting of countless faces; the coastline for dozens of miles was covered in thick ice, and the frost-cold Qi filled all directions.

A terrifying Saber Intent rose from Yan Chu's body.

This Saber Intent formed a Domain; the ground below shook rumblingly, the seawater surged and ebbed violently, and everything around him seemed to turn into an ocean of sabers. The massive snow-white palm print was momentarily unable to descend, sliced with dense saber marks by countless saber lights, as innumerable faces shifted and twisted within it.

"A Divine Weapon?!"

The White Lotus Holy Master's beautiful eyes narrowed, landing on the frost Ming saber in Yan Chu's hand.

However, she gave a cold laugh, opened her cherry lips, and a tiny white lotus flew out from her mouth, merging into the palm print.

A white lotus turned upside down and merged with the palm print, its power surging once more. It instantly broke through the Domain and crushed down again.

As the White Lotus Holy Master, who had entered the Heavenly Human Realm for many years, how could she not have a Divine Weapon with her?

Yan Chu's expression remained unchanged as his Saber Intent condensed, and a saber glow flickered on the edge of the frost Ming saber.

This was a strike capable of severing the heavens.

He had integrated all the saber techniques he had previously cultivated into the Heaven-Severing Style; it held the shadow of the Divine Saber Slash, yet its concept was far superior to it.

This was no longer just a simple saber technique; it seemed to have become a saber of judgment.

Buzz!

With one slash, the sky above was severed by this strike of surging power, the daylight split in two, everything became distorted under the saber light, and even sunlight could not penetrate through.

"Ah!!!"

A miserable scream came from above as the white lotus shattered into countless petals. Innumerable white lights rolled back upward, reassembling into a white Lotus Pedestal that protected the White Lotus Holy Master within.

She retreated over ten miles in an instant, a hint of fear appearing on her beautiful face.

A bloodstain appeared between her eyebrows.

Terrifying Saber Qi and Saber Intent raged at the wound, which she suppressed with her cultivation.

If she had retreated just a bit slower, perhaps even her Primordial Spirit would have been split open by the saber strike.

Yan Chu's strike not only broke her Floating World Lotus Palm, but even the Divine Weapon Lotus Pedestal failed to block it.

"Well done, Yan Chu. This seat shall remember you!"

The White Lotus Holy Master bit her silver teeth.

Although the two sides had only exchanged a few moves, neither had held back, both using their strongest methods.

Now that she was eroded by Yan Chu's Saber Intent, she had to find a place to heal.

Shuu—

Taking a deep look at Yan Chu, the White Lotus Holy Master turned into a streak of white light and sped away in an instant.

"Trying to escape?!"

Yan Chu snorted coldly. His Unrestrained Ascension Step unfolded, covering dozens of miles in a single step as he pursued the White Lotus Holy Master.

He could not allow a Celestial Being Expert with whom he had a great feud to remain alive.

Especially since she was from the Holy Lotus Sect, which was not a sect that followed the rules.

One after the other, the two crossed hundreds of miles as if teleporting.

Two rainbow lights streaked across the sky, their terrifying Aura causing the mountains to tremble and the earth to shake.

Buzz!

The frost Ming saber in his hand shot out with an indomitable Aura, breaking through the air and locking onto the graceful figure on the Lotus Pedestal ahead.

The White Lotus Holy Master's pretty face was tense as she felt a chill approaching from behind.

This was a strike into which Yan Chu had poured his mental effort, and combined with his heart-to-heart connection with the frost Ming saber, it was impossible to evade.

"Yan Chu, this seat advises you not to go too far!"

The White Lotus Holy Master shouted delicately, and countless white lotus petals flew out from the Lotus Pedestal beneath her feet, landing in the path the frost Ming saber had to take.

Ding ding ding ding!!

Crisp clashing sounds echoed high in the sky; every spark that flew off could easily pierce through a Supreme Grandmaster.

...

The White Lotus Holy Master's slender fingers brushed over her brow. Ignoring the clash behind her, she circulated her True Yuan to obliterate the Saber Intent in her wound.

Boom!

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared above her, blocking the sunlight in the sky and casting a huge shadow.

"Yan Chu, you—"

The White Lotus Holy Master's expression changed drastically. She had only uttered a few words when she felt the scene before her change completely.

Yan Chu's brow emitted a brilliant light, dragging the White Lotus Holy Master's consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness Domain.

Hwa!

The golden sea of Divine Sense surged with waves, instantly submerging the White Lotus Holy Master's Primordial Spirit within it.

Under normal circumstances, Yan Chu would not have been able to pull the White Lotus Holy Mother into his Sea of Consciousness Domain so easily.

But now, having been struck between the eyebrows by Yan Chu's saber and with her whole body eroded by Saber Intent, her defenses had dropped to their lowest, allowing Yan Chu to pull her in easily.

"The lotuses fall, the Old Mother descends to the world!"

The White Lotus Holy Mother's pure white Primordial Spirit formed a seal. A layer of secret power firmly protected her, and her facial expression became incredibly holy, as if her humanity had vanished, leaving only divinity.

"Yan Chu, you want to destroy this seat's Primordial Spirit? It's not that simple."

The White Lotus Holy Mother was expressionless, strictly guarding her mind.

Even though Yan Chu had opened the Spiritual Divine Treasury and his Primordial Spirit power was above the White Lotus Holy Mother's, he couldn't hope to destroy her in a short time.

"Hmph!"

Yan Chu snorted disdainfully. Saber glows flickered on his palms as he struck with a Heavenly Wind Ringing Jade, and countless dense saber glows whistled forth.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

Terrifying Saber Gang surged within Yan Chu's sea of Divine Sense.

After falling, it turned back into pure Divine Sense.

The White Lotus Holy Mother formed the Lotus Treasure Seal; she did not engage Yan Chu, only protecting herself.

This was now Yan Chu's home field; if she showed a flaw, she might truly die at Yan Chu's hands.

Seeing that the Eight Heavenly Blade Arts had no effect, Yan Chu struck with the Proudly Looking Down on the World from the Seven Forms of Saber Intent. Saber winds overflowed, and the precious light emitted by the White Lotus Holy Mother flickered unsteadily, yet it showed no sign of breaking.

"Yan Chu, don't waste your energy!"

"My Lotus Treasure Seal can summon the Old Mother's Divine Power for protection. With your Divine Treasury power, you cannot possibly break it!"

The White Lotus Holy Master spoke solemnly and kindly:

"Why don't we both take a step back today? This seat guarantees that the grudge between you and my Holy Lotus Sect will be written off, and we will owe each other nothing in the future!"

Yan Chu raised an eyebrow and chuckled:

"Your Primordial Spirit is suppressed here by me; I'll see what happens to your Physical Body."

"Since you boast of Divine Power protection, I'll just sever your head with one strike and see where your Primordial Spirit will reside in the future!"

"You dare!!"

The White Lotus Holy Master's phoenix eyes widened. Influenced by Yan Chu's words, the Lotus Treasure Seal in her hands inevitably faltered, and ripples flowed over her Primordial Spirit.

If her Physical Body were truly destroyed by Yan Chu, she hadn't opened her Spiritual Divine Treasury yet, so even if she wanted to take over another body for Rebirth, she couldn't; her Primordial Spirit would only dissipate into the world.

Buzz!

Yan Chu did not miss this golden opportunity and struck with his self-created Severing the Buddhas Brow.

Under the Heavenly Blade Realm, he found the White Lotus Holy Master's weakest point.

Crack!

Like the sound of something breaking, this saber strike cut straight into the White Lotus Holy Master's chest. The terrifying Saber Intent instantly tore her apart, forming a Divine Sense storm that whipped up monstrous waves in Yan Chu's Sea of Consciousness, which he then forcefully suppressed.

The White Lotus Holy Master, dead!

...

...

...

The White Lotus Holy Master's Primordial Spirit dissipated into the world.

Yan Chu's consciousness exited his Sea of Consciousness and returned to the outside world.

Ahead, the frost Ming saber was fighting fiercely with the White Lotus Holy Master's Divine Weapon Lotus Pedestal. Saber Qi surged, lotus petals danced, and crisp clashing sounds rang through the sky.

Yan Chu raised his hand, and the frost Ming saber flew back into his hand, humming.

The spirit within the saber was in tune with Yan Chu's heart, excited about killing the enemy for him.

The White Lotus Holy Master's Lotus Pedestal Divine Weapon let out a faint wail, seemingly grieving for its master's passing.

With no one controlling it now, it fell straight toward the ground below.

The White Lotus Holy Master's Physical Body, which had been sitting cross-legged on the Lotus Pedestal, slid off and drifted down like a pure white lotus leaf.

Yan Chu put away the frost Ming saber and used his palm's True Yuan to create a suction force.

The Divine Weapon Lotus Pedestal and the White Lotus Holy Master were sucked up.

The Lotus Pedestal shrank to the size of a palm and was grabbed by him, while the White Lotus Holy Master was pulled into his arms by his right hand. Her body still had residual warmth, felt smooth to the touch, and emitted a fragrant aroma.

Once cultivation reaches the Heavenly Human Realm, even if one hasn't opened the Physical Body Divine Treasury, the Physical Body can remain uncorrupted for hundreds of years after passing away.

And the White Lotus Holy Mother had opened the Qi Sea Divine Treasury.

This body of hers was itself a top-tier treasure that could be refined into a Great Human Medicine, helping Yan Chu advance further in his cultivation.

However, Yan Chu didn't plan to do that.

His brow emitted a brilliant light as his Divine Sense probed into the White Lotus Holy Master's Niwan point.

Her Primordial Spirit was no longer here; it was now empty.

Yan Chu then circulated his Primordial Spirit power and scanned the White Lotus Holy Master's entire body meticulously, not missing any corner; every inch of her tender white skin fell into his eyes.

At this moment, because the White Lotus Holy Master's Primordial Spirit had dissipated, the Qi Sea Divine Treasury within her body was out of control, and a massive amount of True Yuan was leaking out from all the acupoints in her body.

This process was very long and could last for hundreds of years.

After all, she was a Celestial Being Expert, and her True Yuan was almost infinite.

Yan Chu observed quietly for a moment. Her body emitted a misty light and a faint fragrance, and the leaking True Yuan turned back into the Origin Qi of heaven and earth.

"White Lotus Holy Master?!"

Yan Chu sneered and suddenly looked at the white Lotus Pedestal in his left hand.

The Rank of this Divine Weapon was even higher than that of the frost Ming saber.

Just now, when his consciousness first returned, the frost Ming saber was being suppressed by this Lotus Pedestal.

Golden light bloomed on Yan Chu's hand, and he gripped it hard, exerting a majestic force comparable to moving mountains.

Ka ka ka!

A dense white light emanated from the Lotus Pedestal, and fine cracks appeared faintly, with what seemed to be wailing sounds coming from within.

He actually intended to crush this Divine Weapon.

On anyone else, they wouldn't be able to bear destroying a Divine Weapon of such a Rank; not only could it increase speed, but it also came with built-in defense and attack functions, making it all-around versatile.

But Yan Chu didn't care because he hadn't heard the System's notification!

A force emerged from inside the Lotus Pedestal, beginning to contend with the Divine Power in Yan Chu's hand.

But as an ownerless object, it ultimately couldn't compete with Yan Chu.

Bang!

Finally, Yan Chu's fist clenched tightly. The lotus flower burst into countless white streams of light, creating a large explosion in his palm that caused the space around him to fluctuate, with an invisible ripple spreading outward.

"Yan Chu, you've gone too far!!"

A voice came from Yan Chu's palm, and a white Primordial Spirit phantom looked at Yan Chu with shock and anger.

Who could it be but the White Lotus Holy Master?

Yan Chu imprisoned the White Lotus Holy Master's Primordial Spirit and sneered:

"My dear Holy Master, did you really think your little tricks could deceive me?"

"My foundation is beyond your imagination!"

If it weren't for the lack of a System notification, he really would have been fooled by the White Lotus Holy Master.

Mainly because the Divine Treasury power in her body had started to dissipate; such a thing couldn't be faked.

The White Lotus Holy Master finally resigned herself to her fate.

Her Primordial Spirit True Spirit had been hidden within the Lotus Pedestal all along. Now, more than half of her Primordial Spirit power had vanished, and her True Spirit was imprisoned by Yan Chu. She truly could neither live nor die.

"Yan Chu."

The White Lotus Holy Master's tone now became incredibly weak, no longer possessing the strength from before,

"Killing me will only give you a momentary satisfaction, but our sect leader will not let you off."

"Do you know what level of grand power our Holy Lotus Sect's leader is?"

"Even the Buddha Head of the Buddhist ancestral court, Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, and the Dao Head of the Daoist ancestral court, Dragon Tiger Mountain, can do nothing against the Sect Leader."

"He is like a divine dragon, seen only in glimpses. Even if you have opened a Divine Treasury and become a Heavenly Human, you could never be a match for the Sect Leader!"

Yan Chu sneered and said:

"What you say is laughable. Do you think if I don't kill you, your Holy Lotus Sect will turn hostility into friendship with me?"

"That's different!"

The White Lotus Holy Master said hurriedly:

"I have methods planted on me by the Sect Leader. If you kill me, the Sect Leader will know immediately and come to your door at once."

"If you don't believe me, you can try!"

Hearing this, Yan Chu's palm glowed brightly, and Saber Qi circulated between his fingers.

The White Lotus Holy Master's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she closed her eyes in resignation.

"Fine, I'll spare your life for now!"

Just as the White Lotus Holy Master thought she would completely die this time, Yan Chu's voice rang out, and the scraping pain on her Primordial Spirit slowly dissipated.

The White Lotus Holy Master opened her eyes, feeling a secret sigh of relief in her heart.

Having reached the Heavenly Human Realm and lived for hundreds of years, she truly did not want to die like this.

"Don't be happy too soon!"

Yan Chu spoke slowly:

"I need to leave something on your Primordial Spirit True Spirit!"

The White Lotus Holy Master's methods were eerie, as she could actually separate half of her Primordial Spirit and True Spirit to hide them within the Lotus Pedestal.

If he only left a brand on her Primordial Spirit, she might find a way to remove it.

"That's impossible!"

The White Lotus Holy Master's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she flatly refused.

If her True Spirit were tampered with by Yan Chu, it would mean she would be under his control for all her lives; even if she took over another body for Rebirth or went through Reincarnation in the future, she would be unable to escape.

"Yan Chu, if you dare to do this, this seat will self-destruct right now!"

"At worst, I'll just enter Reincarnation again!"

"Then try it!"

Yan Chu snorted coldly:

"What, do you think I'll be threatened by you?"

Hearing this, the White Lotus Holy Master fell into silence.

Yan Chu was indeed not a soft-hearted person; this could be seen from how he had just directly slashed her Primordial Spirit and crushed the Divine Weapon Lotus Pedestal.

"Then what do you say it will take to let me go?"

"It's still the same thing. Let me leave a mark within your True Spirit, and I will naturally let you go!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"At most, I'll let you plant a brand on my Primordial Spirit."

"This seat's Primordial Spirit power has already dissipated by half. Do you think I'd be willing to give up another part?"

"Furthermore, my Holy Lotus Sect has countless secrets and divine techniques and treasures; I can open all of these to you!"

The White Lotus Holy Master was telling the truth; if her Primordial Spirit power were split too much, it would have a significant impact on her.

It might affect her future opening of the Spiritual Divine Treasury.

Yan Chu narrowed his eyes. After considering for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled slightly as he said:

"That's not necessarily out of the question!"

"However, I not only want to control your Primordial Spirit but also your Physical Body!"
