Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus

"This Innate Great Formation contains a treasure fated to be with This Seat."

Feeling the faint summons within his Primordial Spirit, Taiqing was somewhat surprised.

He had not expected there to truly be a treasure fated for him.

Taiqing, without a sound, reached out and touched the Innate Great Formation.

Yet the Innate Great Formation did not block Taiqing, allowing his hand to pass straight through.

"What is this?"

Ao Jiang and the Ink Jade Qilin watched in disbelief as Taiqing's hand passed through the Innate Great Formation.

This signified that their master had been acknowledged by the Innate Great Formation, and the treasure gestating within was fated for him.

In contrast, the Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang found their outstretched hands blocked by an invisible formation barrier.

Both the dragon and the qilin sensed that if they forcibly broke through the Innate Great Formation, they would face a fatal threat from it.

"Never mind. You two stand guard outside for a while. This Seat will enter alone."

Clearly, the Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang had no fate with the treasure within.

Forcing the matter would only leave them battered and bruised.

Leaving the dragon and qilin to guard outside, Taiqing stepped into the Innate Great Formation and vanished.

It was exactly the same feeling as when he had entered the Innate Great Formation at Buzhou Mountain.

After a dizzying spin, Taiqing arrived in the inner space of the Innate Great Formation.

The moment he entered the inner space, Taiqing felt a wave of light and purification wash over him.

As the light and purification aura rushed toward him, Taiqing sensed his Primordial Spirit stabilize slightly.

"Could it be that spiritual treasure?"

Taiqing immediately had a guess in his heart.

Following Taiqing's gaze to the center of the Innate Great Formation's inner space, a lake lay quietly there, and at its center, a massive lotus platform rested.

The lotus platform radiated a holy white light. Upon closer inspection, it was a twelve-petal lotus platform.

Surrounding the twelve-petal lotus platform were twelve nine-petal lotus platforms emitting holy white light.

Spreading outward further were one hundred and forty-four six-petal lotus platforms.

And one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight three-petal lotus platforms.

The lake nurturing these lotus platforms was no ordinary thing either; its waters exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

"It's actually the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus!"

Seeing the twelve-petal holy white lotus, Taiqing blurted out its name without a second thought.

A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus—it possessed the effects of purifying evil Sha Qi, guarding, and stabilizing the Primordial Spirit.

Especially purifying evil Sha Qi, which was the Pure World White Lotus's most powerful ability.

Since the Great God Pangu split the heavens, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had resided on Penglai Immortal Island.

Countless Eons had passed, and this Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had actually spawned twelve nine-petal lotus platforms.

One hundred and forty-four six-petal lotus platforms.

One thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight three-petal lotus platforms.

It was fortunate that the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had gestated here on Penglai Immortal Island, rather than being born as a companion spiritual treasure of some other powerhouse.

Among the seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus, one mature seed transformed into the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

Because the Creation Green Lotus's grade was too high, it was actually a Chaos Spirit Treasure.

It was rejected by the Heavenly Dao, which used the hands of the Sanqing to split the Creation Green Lotus.

The Creation Green Lotus transformed into a red flower, white lotus root, and green lotus leaves.

These then became the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Coiled Dragon Flat Crutch, obtained by Taiqing.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, obtained by Yuqing.

And the Qingping Sword, obtained by Shangqing.

The immature seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, the Twelve-petal Karma Red Lotus, the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus, and the Twelve-petal World-Ending Black Lotus.

Aside from the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, the other three lotus platforms were all companion spiritual treasures of Primordial Wilderness powerhouses.

The Twelve-petal World-Ending Black Lotus was the companion spiritual treasure of the Devil Ancestor Luohu.

As for the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus, though it was unknown which being's companion spiritual treasure it was, Taiqing knew that the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus had long been obtained by that fellow Hongjun.

As for the Twelve-petal Karma Red Lotus, it was Styx's companion spiritual treasure.

None of these lotus platforms possessed the function of evolving into lower-grade three-petal lotus platforms.

Either, Taiqing guessed, those lotus platforms never had the chance to evolve.

They were refined by the powerful far too early, never given the opportunity to evolve into inferior lotus platforms.

Or, Taiqing speculated, the Heavenly Dao was meddling.

Suppressing the ability of those lotus platforms to evolve into inferior ones.

As for the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, it was nurtured on Penglai Immortal Island.

Penglai Immortal Island was never under the control of the Heavenly Dao, which was why it could evolve so many weak lotus platforms.

Though these lotus platforms were weak, they were still rare treasures.

Had he not seen it for himself? In later ages, those Two Mendicants of the West, because the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus had three petals sucked away by Mosquito Daoist.

The Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus was reduced to a Nine-petal Merit Golden Lotus.

Even so, the Nine-petal Merit Golden Lotus remained a supreme treasure of the Western Buddhist School.

And the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus directly evolved into twelve Nine-petal White Lotuses.

"I wonder, does this Primordial Wilderness truly have a Twelve-petal Reincarnation Purple Lotus?

Father God Pangu did not indicate this in his inheritance."

Thinking of the various forms the Chaos Green Lotus had taken, Taiqing pondered in his heart.

He had indeed heard of the Twelve-petal Reincarnation Purple Lotus in his past life.

This Twelve-petal Reincarnation Purple Lotus was actually a key object for the Underworld's reincarnation.

It played a crucial role in establishing the cycle of reincarnation.

But in the Primordial Wilderness, Taiqing had never heard even a whisper of news about the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

As for the other four lotus platforms, even the yet-unborn Twelve-petal Karma Red Lotus and the Pure World White Lotus he had encountered.

They had long held great fame in the Primordial Wilderness.

"Such an anomaly. Either the Reincarnation Purple Lotus is a complete fabrication.

Or the Heavenly Dao has completely concealed all information about the Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

Within this, I fear, lies the Heavenly Dao's scheming."

If the Reincarnation Purple Lotus truly existed, then Taiqing once again felt the terror of the Heavenly Dao.

It had begun its calculations long ago.

This Reincarnation Purple Lotus was a key object concerning reincarnation, concerning the Earthly Dao, concerning Houtu.

If he could not obtain the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, Houtu would be unable to comprehend the Law of Reincarnation.

Moreover, Houtu would have no object to rely on to evolve reincarnation.

In the end, Houtu could only sacrifice her body to transform into reincarnation.

What was the most direct consequence of Houtu sacrificing her body to become reincarnation? That was certainly the Twelve Ancestral Witches being unable to gather.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches could not gather, then they could not evolve the Dutian God-Demon Great Formation, could not summon the Pangu True Body.

Unable to summon the Pangu True Body, and missing one Ancestral Witch.

What could the Witch Race use to counter the Demon Race's Great Formation of the Stars?

Thus, the Witch Race was doomed to lose in the Conflict between Witches and Demons, doomed to be slaughtered until only a handful remained.

Thus, the Primordial Wilderness would have no more existences that threatened the Heavenly Dao.

The Primordial Wilderness would have no more beings that upheld the Will of Pangu.

"Hiss~, the Heavenly Dao! What a fine scheme."

The more he thought, the more Taiqing felt it was possible. Truly, the more he thought, the more terrifying it was.

These were problems Taiqing had never considered before. Now that he thought of them, he found the Heavenly Dao truly horrifying.

"Regardless of whether the Reincarnation Purple Lotus exists or not, I must confirm this matter as soon as possible.

If it truly exists, I should find its whereabouts quickly.

The final battle of the Conflict between Dao and Demon will soon unfold.

Once the Conflict between Dao and Demon ends, that scoundrel Hongjun will soon attain enlightenment and become a Saint.

After that, the three lectures at Purple Cloud Palace will harvest the Destiny of us Sanqing and the Primordial Wilderness.

Hongjun merges with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun will grow even stronger.

When the Witch-Demon Calamity unfolds, the situation for us Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches is dire indeed!"
