Alas, How Cruel
The scene of eight Peak Great Unity Golden Immortals clashing was incredibly chaotic, with a dazzling array of Divine Ability powers and Law Technique that even Xiang Dong couldn't keep up with.
Faced with two Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, Xuehuang, Ao Yue, and Junshan Qilin, these three veteran Primordial Unity Golden Immortals had no choice but to empty their coffers.
They were once three of the greatest overlords, and their assets were quite substantial, especially the Dragon Clan, each of which possessed three spiritual treasures. If their Primordial Spirits could control them all, they would probably have taken out a few more.
But the Three Pure Ones are not lacking in resources either. The Twelve Ancestral Witches originally did not have Primordial Spirits. Without Primordial Spirits, they could not refine and control spiritual treasures, so they were useless. Therefore, the spiritual treasures are all with the Three Pure Ones.
On the battlefield, the spiritual light of more than a dozen magical treasures flashed continuously, creating a dazzling display of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple light that hurt the eyes.
"If these special effects were used to make a movie, it would be absolutely amazing. It would be unreasonable for it not to gross tens of billions at the box office."
"Hmm, we have almost enough materials!"
Xiang Dong held his phone and first recorded a video as backup material. The Three Pure Ones were important characters, so collecting their video footage was necessary and would likely be useful in the future.
Of course, he didn't really want that day to come.
Xiang Dong didn't expect that this video footage would soon come in handy.
Let them fight! The more exciting the fight, the better.
While you were fighting, I was stealing chickens. Under the cover of the Law Treasure flames flying everywhere and the concealment of my aura by my mobile phone, the Three Pure Ones did not notice that there was an ant of Taiyi Golden Immortal right under their noses, and the dog sneaked up to the Creation Green Lotus.
"Wow, it's even more beautiful up close than from afar; it's practically a perfect work of art."
The twenty-four petals unfold layer by layer, the whole body is emerald green, the lotus leaves are unfurled, the lotus seedpod is exhaling auspiciousness, and it exudes rings of the Creation Clear Qi.
The surrounding Chaos Essence Qi transformed into a thin mist, which spread and diffused in all directions as it stretched and breathed.
Xiang Dong reached out to take the Creation Green Lotus, but before he could even touch it, a soft yet resilient azure halo emanated from the lotus platform, repelling Xiang Dong.
The force of the repulsion was neither too light nor too heavy; it didn't hurt him, but his resistance was quite obvious.
It is Twenty-Four-Rank Creation Green Lotus, and living beings should not approach it.
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to have such a temper. You're looking down on me?"
Xiang Dong could vaguely sense that the Creation Green Lotus seemed to dislike him.
"What? Just because I'm not a direct descendant of Pangu doesn't mean I can't touch you. Let me tell you, I'm also a descendant of the Father God, although I haven't been born yet."
The Creation Green Lotus clearly doesn't believe it. Who are you trying to fool?
"Hehe, truly worthy of being an existence intolerable to the Heavenly Dao, such high spirituality?"
As an anomaly that was just one step away from stepping into the threshold of Chaos Spirit Treasure, the Creation Green Lotus possessed a spirituality far exceeding that of ordinary spiritual treasures. Xiang Dong was able to communicate with it and sense its emotional fluctuations without even having collected and refined it.
Given enough time and resources, it might be possible for it to develop intelligence and take human form.
With a foundation at the level of Innate Supreme Treasure, Xiang Dong dared not even imagine what kind of aptitude and comprehension such an Innate Divine Beings would possess.
Of course, if such a being were to appear in the world, the Heavenly Dao would surely strike it down immediately.
"Since you're so perceptive and can understand human speech, things are much simpler. Come on, let me show you something good."
It's not that Lingbao has a temper, it's that he's brainless.
If someone is spiritual and can communicate, things become much easier.
He's best at reasoning with people, appealing to their emotions and appealing to their reason.
Xiang Dong switched his phone to light screen mode and tapped his fingers on the light screen to operate it. He was only doing this because he thought the Creation Green Lotus couldn't understand it. If it were a modern person, they would definitely know what Xiang Dong was doing at a glance.
He used the battle video from earlier as source material, and then, based on what he knew about the fate of the Creation Green Lotus, he generated, edited, and synthesized the video.
It was very quick; a short video of less than three minutes was generated.
"You can refuse, or you can dislike me, I don't care, but I hope you read this before making a decision."
"Do you want to know what will happen to you if you choose to go with Three Pure Ones and the others?"
Xiang Dong turned the light screen around so it was facing the Creation Green Lotus and pressed the play button.
The video begins with a very tragic background music, with a deep and mournful melody, which is "Moon Reflected on the Second Spring".
Then, as the Heavenly Dao's destructive lightning struck, the Twenty-Four-Rank Creation Green Lotus was hit squarely, and with a crisp cracking sound, the entire lotus platform shattered into pieces.
Taiqing reached out and grabbed, the red flower fell and transformed into a Panlong Flat Cane; Yuqing waved her sleeves, the white lotus root left the water and condensed into a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi; Shangqing pointed her fingers to form a sword, the verdant lotus leaves shrank inch by inch amidst mournful cries, and transformed into a Qingping Sword radiating cold light.
Even the scraps were all taken by the Three Pure Ones; not a single bit was wasted.
In this way, an Innate Supreme Treasure that was close to Chaos Spirit Treasure was dismembered and divided up in less than a minute.
At the end of the video, two lines of large, gold-embossed characters appeared, accompanied by the mournful music of the suona:
Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves—the three religions were originally one family.
The video, which lasted less than three minutes, finished playing in the blink of an eye. As the screen went black, the Creation Green Lotus felt that her life—no, Lotus Life—was utterly hopeless, plunging into endless darkness with no future or hope whatsoever.
"Tragic, so cruel! Look at this, this is the consequence of marrying the wrong person. Not only was he dismembered, but his fate was also meticulously planned out."
Xiang Dong sighed heavily to the side, his tone quite exaggerated, and then offered a couple of words of comfort.
"But don't be sad. If you look at it from another angle, you've fully utilized your value, creating three Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures and a lot of scraps, making a significant contribution to the Primordial World."
"Oh, by the way, these three Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasures will also be the Dao-proving spiritual treasures of the Three Pure Ones in the future. Would you like to see them? Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible for me to make them for you to see."
The Creation Green Lotus refused, saying, "Who wants to watch this kind of thing? You're not just killing me, you're destroying my spirit!"
It could sense that what was unfolding in the light and shadow was not an illusion, and that what Xiang Dong said was true. The three top-grade spiritual treasures were also formed from it, and their characteristics were too obvious to be recognized at a glance.
It knew that Heavenly Dao would not tolerate it, so it dared not emerge into the world and waited patiently.
They await the appearance of Pangu's pure energy; only they can save themselves.
"Why can the Three Pure Ones protect you?"
Xiang Dong pressed for an answer.
The Creation Green Lotus remained silent for a moment before listlessly conveying a message: the Heaven-Opening Merit.
Each of the Three Pure Ones Primordial Spirit possesses one-tenth of the Heaven-Opening Merit, so if the Three Pure Ones were to use even a wisp of their Heaven-Opening Merit, it would be enough to deter the Heavenly Dao from taking action.
Because the Heaven-Opening Merit does not originate from the Heavenly Dao, but from the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably suffer a backlash if it dared to take action. This is why the Creation Green Lotus chose to wait for the Three Pure Ones.
