Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus

"Within this Innate Great Formation lies a treasure fated to be mine."

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

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

Without anyone noticing, Taiqing reached out and touched the Innate Great Formation.

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

"What is this?"

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

This meant their master had been acknowledged by the Innate Great Formation, and the treasure nurtured within was fated to him.

In contrast, the hands extended by Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang were blocked outside by an invisible formation.

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

"Very well. You two can guard the outside for a while. I shall enter alone."

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

Forcing the matter would only leave them covered in wounds.

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

It felt exactly the same as when he had entered the Innate Great Formation on Buzhou Mountain.

After a dizzying whirl, Taiqing entered the internal space of the Innate Great Formation.

The moment he entered that space, Taiqing sensed a wave of radiant, purifying aura rushing toward him.

The instant that radiant purifying aura washed over him, Taiqing felt his Primordial Spirit become slightly more stable.

"Could it be that treasure?"

Taiqing immediately formed a guess.

Following Taiqing's gaze toward the center of the Innate Great Formation's internal space—

A lake lay quietly there, and in the middle of the lake rested an enormous lotus platform.

The lotus platform emitted holy white light. Looking closely, it was a twelve-petal lotus platform.

Twelve nine-petal lotus platforms, each radiating holy white light, surrounded the twelve-petal lotus platform.

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

As well as one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight three-petal lotus platforms.

The lake that nourished the lotus platforms was no ordinary thing either. Its water gave off an extremely dangerous aura.

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

The moment Taiqing saw that twelve-petal holy white lotus, its name slipped from his lips without a second thought.

The top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus—it could purify evil and baleful energies, protect the Primordial Spirit, and suppress it.

In particular, purifying evil and baleful energies was the Pure World White Lotus's most powerful ability.

After Great God Pangu opened the heavens, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had remained on Penglai Immortal Island.

After countless Eons, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had actually produced twelve nine-petal lotus platforms.

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

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

Fortunately, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had been nurtured on Penglai Immortal Island rather than being born as the companion spiritual treasure of another powerful being.

Of the Chaos Green Lotus Seeds, one mature seed became the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

Because the Creation Green Lotus was of too high a grade, it was truly a Chaos Spirit Treasure.

It was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, which used the Sanqing's hands to divide the Creation Green Lotus.

The Creation Green Lotus became a red flower, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf.

They later 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 Chaos Green Lotus Seeds became the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, Twelve-petal Karma Red Lotus, Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus, and Twelve-petal World-Ending Black Lotus.

Other than the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, the other three lotus platforms were all companion spiritual treasures of powerful beings in the Primordial Wilderness.

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

Though it was unknown whose companion spiritual treasure the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus was,

Taiqing knew that the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus had long ago fallen into that fellow Hongjun's hands.

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

Either these lotus platforms lacked the ability to evolve lower-grade three-petal lotus platforms,

Or, Taiqing guessed that those lotus platforms simply had never had the opportunity to evolve.

They had been refined by powerful beings early on and had no chance at all to evolve lower-grade lotus platforms.

Or perhaps, Taiqing guessed, the Heavenly Dao had interfered.

It had suppressed those lotus platforms' ability to evolve lower-grade lotus platforms.

The Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus, however, had been nurtured on Penglai Immortal Island.

Penglai Immortal Island was not under the Heavenly Dao's control at all, which was why it could evolve so many weaker lotus platforms.

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

Hadn't the Two Mendicants of the West, in later generations, suffered because Mosquito Daoist consumed three petals of the Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus?

The Twelve-petal Merit Golden Lotus had fallen to the Nine-petal Merit Golden Lotus.

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

Meanwhile, the Twelve-petal Pure World White Lotus had directly evolved twelve nine-petal white lotuses.

"I wonder whether the Primordial Wilderness truly has a Twelve-petal Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

Pangu Father God had not made this clear in the inheritance either."

Thinking of the various things formed from the Chaos Green Lotus, Taiqing pondered inwardly.

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

This Twelve-petal Reincarnation Purple Lotus was the key item of the Underworld's Reincarnation.

It played a vital role in establishing Reincarnation.

Yet Taiqing had not heard even the slightest news of the Reincarnation Purple Lotus anywhere in the Primordial Wilderness.

The other four lotus platforms, however—even the yet-unborn Twelve-petal Karma Red Lotus and the Pure World White Lotus he had encountered—

Had long possessed great renown throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

"Such an anomaly means either the Reincarnation Purple Lotus is nothing but fiction,

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

There is likely a scheme by the Heavenly Dao behind this."

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

It had begun plotting so early.

This Reincarnation Purple Lotus was a key item connected to Reincarnation, the Earthly Dao, and Houtu.

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

Moreover, Houtu would have nothing to rely on when evolving Reincarnation.

In the end, Houtu could only transform herself into Reincarnation.

What would be the most direct consequence of Houtu transforming herself into Reincarnation? Naturally, the Twelve Ancestral Witches would be unable to gather.

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

Without the Pangu True Body, and with one Ancestral Witch missing,

How could the Witch Race possibly contend against the Demon Race's Great Formation of the Stars?

Thus, the Witch Race was destined to lose the Conflict between Witches and Demons, destined to suffer near-total casualties, with only a handful left alive.

Thus, there would no longer be any existence in the Primordial Wilderness capable of threatening the Heavenly Dao.

There would no longer be any existence in the Primordial Wilderness that upheld the Will of Pangu.

"Damn it, Heavenly Dao! What a scheme."

The more Taiqing thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The thought was truly terrifying.

Taiqing had never considered these questions before, but now that he did, he found the Heavenly Dao truly terrifying.

"Whether the Reincarnation Purple Lotus exists or not, I must confirm it as soon as possible.

If it truly exists, I must quickly search for its whereabouts.

The final battle of the Dao-Devil War will begin very soon.

Once the Dao-Devil War ends, that fellow Hongjun will soon attain the Dao and become a Saint.

After that, the Purple Cloud Palace's three lectures would harvest the destiny of our Three Pure Ones and the Primordial Wilderness.

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

When the Witch-Demon Calamity begins, the circumstances of our Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches will be dire indeed!"
