The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 91 - 37 Red Flowers, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf
Chapter 91: Chapter 37 Red Flowers, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf
Li Qingming looked at the Green Lotus in front of him with shock and muttered to himself, "Is this, this the 12th Grade Creation Green Lotus?"
Hong Jun glanced at Li Qingming with a smile filled with meanings, and said: "In the past, when the Thirty-Sixth Grade Chaotic Green Lotus perished, only a few lotus seeds were left. This 12th Grade Creation Green Lotus is nurtured from the most essence-rich Green Lotus Seeds. Speaking of which, the Heavenly Book ’Investiture of the Gods’ is of utmost importance, yet it is I who reaped the benefits."
The Three Pure Ones, upon hearing these words, nodded thoughtfully.
"What have you all seen in this lotus based on your hearts?" Hong Jun nodded slightly, pointing to the 12th Grade Creation Green Lotus in front of him and asked The Three Pure Ones.
At this moment, the heavenly secrets are clear, and The Three Pure Ones are all blessed.
Laozi, with his white eyebrows lightly raised, looked at the Green Lotus slowly and uttered two words, "Red Flower!"
Instantly, a charmingly fragrant pink lotus rose into the air, with the rich Chaos Qi sweeping towards it like a tide.
The pink halo illuminated the entire hall into an ocean of flowers. Countless lotuses floated in the hall, their heart-piercing fragrance making one feel refreshed and joyful.
After a while, the vision in the sky abruptly converged. Only a red shadow resembling a walking stick remained in the void.
"Swoosh!"
The Flat Stick from Shouyang Mountain suddenly soared, merging with the shadow transformed from the airborne lotus. A formidable aura, as if belonging to a Saint, burst forth from the Flat Stick. This aura, as if provoking divine authority, seemed to freeze the air.
A middle-aged Daoist in a brown and red Eight Diagrams Taoist robe, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, holding a Flat Stick, materialized from the void—it was Laozi’s Good Corpse, Xuan Daozi!
Xuan Daozi’s eyes were profound, the dense Creation Power around him undiminished. Xuan Daozi bowed to Laozi and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for making this possible. Xuan Daozi is immensely grateful!"
Returning the bow, Laozi, whose face was usually calm and serene, showed a hint of joy and said: "When I first met Fellow Daoist at Shouyang Mountain, I swore that I must help Fellow Daoist to be freed from the Spiritual Treasure body! Previously, you were my Good Corpse incarnation, but now you have become a Taoist Body by yourself! This is all predestined, haha..."
Xuan Daozi slightly shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, Xuan Daozi has always been your Good Corpse incarnation, that has never changed. I am willing to serve Fellow Daoist, to repay the kindness of Fellow Daoist for facilitating my Transformation!"
After these words, he turned into a beam of light and shot into Laozi’s mind.
Laozi smiled bitterly and nodded, muttering to himself, "I do owe Fellow Daoist a lot indeed!"
Li Qingming watched the scene before him in astonishment, almost dropping his eyeballs, and he thought to himself: "This is also possible!"
Primordial saw what Laozi did, and also seemed enlightened. Pointing to the 12th Grade Creation Green Lotus, he said, "White Lotus!"
Visions reappeared, infinite lustrous white brilliance, covering the sky and almost piercing the heavens, with Qi columns reaching up as if to puncture the Cangqiong (sky). The white lotus roots crazily spinning, attracting endless Chaos Qi, shooting towards the lotus root like swallows returning to their nests.
The immense aura was suffocating.
Vast starlight mingled with Chaos Qi sprinkled on the lotus root, enveloping it, making its slender body appear even more supremely pure and sacred!
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, the Zixiao Palace radiated immensely, its ancient tiles and ridges all blooming with auspicious colors, a hint of green abruptly appeared in the void, sacred aura vast, reaching straight to the Yun Xiao (cloud heavens).
A green Jade Ruyi filled with lush greenery, emitting a quiet luster, floated in the void. The dazzling luster seems to penetrate one’s heart, the sacred aura compelling one to worship.
Originally, he waved his hand and summoned the Jade Ruyi into his grasp, carefully rubbing it and saying, "Your name is ’Jade Ruyi’, I, a poor Daoist, will definitely not let you be buried in my hands!"
As if responding to the Primordial Venerable, the Jade Ruyi suddenly burst into a bright cyan light. The mix of cyan and white lights set off the figure of the Primordial Venerable, making him appear even more majestic!
Seeing his two elder brothers act in such a way, Tongtian was already feeling restless in his heart. Once Primordial finished his collection, he softly parted his thin lips and spoke sharply, "Green Lotus Leaf!"
"Boom!"
The sharp Geng Metal Energy swept through the grand hall like a violent storm. The bright golden luster entwined around the remaining few Green Lotus Leaves then soared into the sky! This intense Killing Aura, compared to the God Slaying Spear that Li Qingming had just acquired, was even more profound.
Streams of Chaos Qi were drawn from Cangqiong, turning into a dazzling Golden Bridge that directly connected to the depths of Chaos, resembling a grand avenue linking Zixiao Palace with Chaos, transforming this place into a thoroughfare.
The Chaos Qi Column twined with Lotus Leaves, its sword intent spirited and flamboyant, appeared splendid yet mysterious.
Zixiao Palace then quieted down, a humming sound emanated from the grayish-gold Chaos Qi Column, carrying endless joy. It summoned layers of cyan Sword Qi, turning the entire Zixiao Palace into an ocean of Sword Qi.
It’s unknown how much time passed, when the soaring Sword Qi suddenly converged. A green longsword, emanating a sharp aura, directly aimed for Tongtian’s brow.
Li Qingming, seeing that Tongtian was not in any danger, still cried out, "Master Uncle be careful!"
Tongtian ignored Li Qingming, his eyes intently watching the swiftly approaching green longsword, feeling the sharp aura from the sword tip, remained unmoved.
Just as the sword tip was a mere hair’s breadth from Tongtian’s brow, it abruptly stopped. The body of the sword emitted a faint green glow, the Three Feet Green Blade slightly vibrated, emitting a series of clear chimes.
Tongtian laughed heartily, grabbed the sword handle, and swung two sword flowers, saying, "Ever since you were named ’Qingping Sword’, from henceforth, wielding this sword across Primordial, comprehending the Great Dao, I will accompany you! Hahaha..."
Hong Jun observed the scene and imperceptibly nodded his head, saying, "Do any of you still have questions? If there is nothing else, then return to your own Taoist Courts."
As the supreme figure of the Taoist school, when facing his orthodox disciples, Hong Jun was still quite willing to clarify doubts.
The Three Pure Ones, having just awoken from the joy of receiving the Supreme Treasure, looked at each other, with Laozi stepping forward to ask, "May I ask Master, what are the mystical uses of this Hongmeng Purple Qi, and why, since obtaining the Purple Qi, do we still feel like looking at flowers through a fog and cannot see clearly?"
This matter concerned becoming a Saint, and even Li Qingming, who usually disliked listening to teachings, perked up his ears, fully attentive.
Hong Jun pondered for a long while, seeing the eager expressions of his three disciples, and sighed slightly, saying, "Seeing that the fundamental matters of the Great Dao are yet to be understood, this indicates that the right time has not arrived. When the time comes, the Purple Qi will naturally overflow, merging with the Primordial Spirit and entrusting the Primordial Spirit within the Void! This is predestined, and cannot be revealed!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingming secretly cursed, "Damn it, if this old guy doesn’t want to talk, just say it outright. What fate? Ridiculous!"
The Three Pure Ones too appeared dejected, the matter of becoming a Saint was always a heavy burden in everyone’s heart, without becoming a Saint one remains an ant!
"If you have nothing else, then you may leave."
With that said, Hong Jun slightly closed his eyes and said no more.
Li Qingming and his companions had no choice but to bow and say, "Disciples bid farewell!"
After everyone had left, Hong Jun waved away Hao Tian and Turquoise Pool, looked at the boundless Chaos, shook his head, and muttered, "Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the three teachings were originally one family! It’s predestined, indeed predestined!"
