Merit Gives Rise to a Golden Lotus
Even after receiving a clear rejection from Cihang, Yang Mei still did not give up.
However, he also knew that Cihang's will was firm and she would not change easily.
He then cooperated with Cihang to disperse his life force and magical power, helping Cihang to nurture the Creation Green Lotus.
Under the nourishment of boundless vitality and the power of the Great Dao, the Creation Green Lotus slowly began to bloom, giving rise to layers of lotus petals.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, please consider my suggestion carefully. There is no place to linger in the Primordial World."
Chaos is the true sacred ground for our cultivation, the ultimate destination of the Dao!
As life force rapidly faded, Yang Mei's figure grew increasingly dim until it completely disappeared.
The broken willow leaf turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.
Yang Mei's last words still echoed in his mind.
But Cihang remained unmoved.
Although she had never truly faced Yang Mei, Cihang still had some understanding of Yang Mei.
Their final compromise was nothing more than a helpless act.
Perhaps collaborating with Yang Mei really offers a chance of success.
After all, they were once the pinnacle of gods and demons; how could they not have hidden cards and methods?
If Yang Mei can outsmart him once, she might do so two or three times.
He couldn't even fully trust the oaths of the Great Dao.
Although he couldn't be sure of Yang Mei's current level of cultivation, it was definitely far superior to his own.
Cooperating when there is a significant disparity in strength is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster.
Ultimately, in Yang Mei's eyes, he was nothing more than a pawn.
As for whether refusing Yang Mei would anger him.
Cihang wasn't actually worried. Although Yang Mei was powerful, she couldn't control the Primordial World.
Even if Yang Mei wanted to attack him, she wouldn't have the chance.
As for the future, when he enters the chaos, he will not be as weak as he is now.
Moreover, even if they were to face Yang Mei's targeting, that would be a very distant future.
In comparison, the present moment is more important.
Thinking of this, Cihang revealed a satisfied smile.
Although this experience was dangerous, the gains and benefits were obvious.
In truth, we have to thank Yang Mei. If Yang Mei hadn't cooperated, even if he could have devoured Yang Mei's life essence, it would have taken an extremely long time.
Looking at the fully bloomed Creation Green Lotus, Cihang couldn't help but marvel at Yang Mei's power.
It was only a portion of its original vitality that caused the Creation Green Lotus to bloom with twelve petals, reaching the same level as other lotus platforms.
Of course, besides these factors, the Chaos Lotus Stem also played a significant role.
Unlike the four great lotus platforms, the lotus stem did not evolve into a spiritual treasure; it remained part of the Chaos Green Lotus and naturally contained the origin of chaos.
The God-Slaying Spear was merely the result of Luohu's forced refinement.
With Cihang's intervention, it has returned to its original state.
With a thought, Cihang shattered the three-colored lotus in front of him, transforming it back into three large lotus platforms and a dark blue lotus stem.
The lotus flowers that appeared earlier were merely manifestations of Lingbao; in reality, they remained independent entities.
The World-Ending Black Lotus and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus transformed back into their Good and Evil Two Corpses, leaving the Ruins of Gods and Demons gods and demons through the Glazed Immortal Realm, and returning to the Underworld and Tiannan respectively.
Especially since the underworld was newly established, it was not advisable for Evil Corpse and demons to linger.
The benevolent corpse, Honglian, also needs to preside over the missionary work at Lotus Flower Mountain.
Only Qinglian's Self Corpse remained, which Cihang absorbed into his sea of consciousness.
After absorbing Yang Mei's avatar, Qinglian has returned to its original form.
Like the Good and Evil Two Corpses, the Self Corpse also reached the peak of the quasi-saint level.
However, Cihang has no immediate plans to reveal his Self Corpse; showing weakness appropriately will make it easier for him to plan for the future.
Although he has severed the three corpses, he is still quite far from truly achieving the Three Corpses Dao Integration.
With a wave of his hand, the Chaos Lotus Stem landed on Cihang's wrist without any resistance.
With the lotus stem in her hand, Cihang felt her entire being receiving nourishment, slowly restoring the pure essence of the white lotus.
This change brought an uncontrollable smile to Cihang.
The lotus stem was even more extraordinary than he had expected.
The Chaos Lotus Stem is more accurately described as a spiritual root than a spiritual treasure.
Given sufficient spiritual energy and environment, it can even give rise to a lotus flower that surpasses the four great lotus platforms.
Unfortunately, as soon as it fell into the Primordial World, it was obtained by Luohu and forcibly refined into a rare treasure.
Only now have we returned to our original state.
Although the four lotus platforms originated from the same source, they evolved in different directions during the Primordial World.
It is foreseeable that when the Three Corpses Unity in the future, there will be considerable obstacles.
With the Chaos Lotus Stem harmonizing within, everything will no longer be a problem.
In the near future, he will possess a unique Primordial Supreme Treasure.
Moreover, it is Primordial Supreme Treasure with limitless potential.
Besides aiding in the Three Corpses Unity, the lotus stem itself is also a rare treasure.
It not only contains abundant primordial energy, but also astonishing destructive power.
Although the lotus stem has returned to its original state, Luohu's refining process still left traces within it.
When necessary, it can not only restrain the enemy, but also evolve into God-Slaying Spear to fight against them.
Cihang had a sudden thought, recalling the life-giving power of the lotus stem.
A golden lotus flower appeared in Cihang's hand, radiating a faint Merit Golden Light.
It was nurtured from the Golden Lotus Seed given to the Jieyin on that day.
Because Innate Spiritual Treasure are unique, even with all her might, Cihang could only cultivate them into Acquired Spiritual Root.
But now, with this Chaos Lotus Stem, everything has changed.
Compared to a newly conceived lotus root, Cihang values Merit Golden Lotus even more.
Moreover, nurturing a top-tier spiritual root is far from simple.
With a thought, Cihang grafted the Merit Golden Lotus directly onto the Chaos Lotus Stem.
The Merit Golden Lotus also underwent a transformation, with wisps of primordial energy being born within it.
Behind Cihang, the Merit Golden Wheel manifested, and streams of rich merit power were integrated into the golden lotus.
With the help of her merits, Jinlian also began to grow rapidly.
In an instant, he completely stepped into the ranks of the Innate Realm.
That's not all. As merits are continuously poured in, the Golden Lotus's grade is also rapidly improving.
The price, however, is that Cihang's Merit Golden Wheel has become increasingly dim.
However, Cihang felt no reluctance whatsoever.
During her battle with Yang Mei, Cihang also discovered the limitations of the Merit Golden Wheel.
In contrast, the Merit Golden Lotus not only has this effect, but also has a variety of mysterious functions.
Moreover, these merits do not disappear, but rather appear in a different form.
When Cihang's Triple Merit Golden Wheel completely collapsed, the Golden Lotus also advanced to High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Although nearly half of the Chaos Lotus Stem's essence has been consumed, its loss can be recovered over time.
Cihang was confident that he could restore him to his peak condition before the Three Corpses Unity.
"Can the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Merit Lotus Platform, replace the Twelve Merit Golden Lotus of Jieyin in the future?!"
Cihang revealed a strange smile.
If he remembered correctly, the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus that Jieyin will face a calamity in the future.
