The Sanqing's Bond, Yuanshi's Purpose
At Tongtian's urging, Cihang stayed at the Biyou Palace to work with him on the Qi Destiny Array.
Luohu bid farewell to the two and fearlessly ventured into the Primordial World alone.
Although he and Tongtian did not have a direct conflict, their relationship was far from harmonious.
Not only because Tongtian refined the spiritual treasure that once belonged to him, but also because Tongtian was an incarnation of Pangu's Primordial Spirit.
Although Luohu left, Tongtian and Cihang were not able to focus on deducing the great formation as expected.
After reuniting the dragon Four Seas Dragon Clan, the Ancestral Dragon brought rare and precious treasures to visit Biyou Palace.
The original Dragon Clan naturally didn't need to do this, but times have changed.
This is the age of sages.
The biggest obstacle for the Dragon Clan in their desire to unify the fortunes of the four seas is Golden Ao Island in the East Sea.
Moreover, after offending the Chan Sect, he also wanted to win over a powerful ally.
Tongtian, also located in the East China Sea, is naturally the best choice.
When he saw Cihang there, Ancestral Dragon was somewhat surprised, but also more sincere.
Tongtian and Cihang were both fully aware of Ancestral Dragon's intentions.
Although Tongtian did not agree to form an alliance with Ancestral Dragon, he still showed great goodwill.
Ancestral Dragon was not disappointed by this.
To form an alliance, both sides must demonstrate sincerity.
The fact that we can coexist peacefully now is an excellent start.
Seeing that Tongtian and Cihang clearly had something to attend to, Ancestral Dragon did not linger and tactfully took his leave.
However, it wasn't so easy for the two of them to discuss the Dao.
Just as the Ancestral Dragon left, Yuanshi Tianzun returned to Golden Ao Island.
However, Tongtian was not so friendly to Yuanshi.
"Yuanshi Daoist Yuanshi, instead of plotting the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods in Kunlun, how come you have time to come to my Biyou Palace!"
Tongtian did not attack Yuanshi, but he made no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction.
"Junior brother, have you grown distant from me? You don't even call me senior brother anymore?"
Yuanshi also felt he had lost face, and his expression darkened instantly.
"Senior brother? You've schemed against me like this, do you perhaps crave our brotherly bond?"
The two were of similar strength and realm, so Tongtian naturally had no fear because of Yuanshi's cold face.
"Junior brother, you misunderstand. We have been born together and have supported each other for millions of years, which is why we have achieved what we have today."
How could I disregard the friendship we once shared?
However, now that this great calamity is unfolding between our two sects, how can I not plan for the sake of my disciples?
But no matter the outcome, our unity as the Sanqing Ones will never change!
Thinking about his own schemes, Yuanshi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, there is one point that Yuanshi did not make unfounded claims.
At this moment, although he was scheming against the Interception Sect, he had no intention of completely breaking with Tongtian.
The conflict between them was real, but their past brotherhood was also genuine.
No one knows what the future holds, but at this moment, Yuanshi certainly doesn't have this thought.
"Since Senior Brother says so, then Tongtian will believe him for now."
I only hope that Senior Brother won't disappoint Tongtian and ruin the already precarious relationship between us!
Yuanshi's explanation somewhat softened Tongtian's attitude.
Cihang remained silent, watching the two of them.
At this time, he also discovered the complex changes in the mental states among the Sanqing.
The Sanqing Ones share the same origin and have been together for hundreds of millions of years; how could they possibly have no feelings for each other?
However, influenced by Pangu, they each inherited different emotions and wills from Pangu.
As cultivation levels continue to advance, the differences in the paths one cultivates also become increasingly significant, inevitably leading to conflicts.
This was inherently uncontrollable, and the bond between the Sanqing gradually faded as a result.
But it hasn't completely disappeared yet.
Even the deepest affection cannot withstand repeated scheming.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Sanqing Ones will eventually meet their end.
I wonder if they'll regret it later.
"Don't worry, junior brother, I certainly won't let you down!"
Tongtian's words also deeply resonated with Yuanshi.
They were both well aware that their once unbreakable bond had developed a huge rift.
But they had no choice in the matter.
Faced with the current situation, they also feel deeply powerless.
Or rather, they are all subconsciously avoiding this issue.
"Senior brother, you didn't come here to explain these things to me, did you?"
Tongtian did not doubt Yuanshi's words, but he also knew that this was not the purpose of his visit.
"That's not it at all. I came here for Fellow Daoist Cihang."
Seeing that Tongtian had let the matter drop, Yuanshi breathed a sigh of relief.
"You came for me? I shouldn't have had any conflicts with you recently, fellow Daoist?"
Cihang had been speculating about Yuanshi's intentions, but she never imagined it was because of herself.
"Indeed, I have come for you, fellow Daoist."
I'd like to invite you to make a deal with me!
As he spoke, six lotus seeds appeared in Yuanshi's hand, but no life force could be sensed within them.
"The lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus?"
Cihang looked at Yuanshi with considerable surprise.
It turns out that the lotus seed left behind by the Creation Green Lotus was not just one.
"Indeed, it is the Creation Lotus Seed."
Originally, the Creation Green Lotus split into three, transforming into three top-tier spiritual treasures.
But when the Creation Green Lotus shattered, it still left behind seven lotus seeds.
However, these lotus seeds have lost all their vitality, and ordinary methods cannot revive them.
I found you today, fellow Daoist, because I want you to help me cultivate a lotus flower.
How about the remaining lotus seeds as payment?
Speaking of the Creation Green Lotus, Yuanshi couldn't help but show a regretful expression.
Top-tier spiritual treasures are indeed valuable, but how can they compare to Primordial Supreme Treasure?
"Helping you cultivate a lotus flower is no problem."
Even if the Creation Green Lotus is of extremely high grade, at most one can obtain a top-grade acquired lotus!
This shouldn't be of any use to you, fellow Daoist.
If Cihang were to exert all his strength, cultivating an Innate Lotus would not be a problem, but he would not do so for Yuanshi.
"Yes, a top-grade Acquired Green Lotus is sufficient!"
Yuanshi waved his hand and handed six green lotus seeds to Cihang.
He knew this was not the limit for Cihang, but it was the limit he could agree to.
However, even the highest-grade Acquired Green Lotus is sufficient.
Yuanshi wanted this acquired lotus flower, naturally for the sake of Nezha's resurrection.
He originally intended to induce the growth of the Azure Lotus himself, but unfortunately, even with the use of the Three Lights Divine Water, the Azure Lotus Seed still did not react.
After some deduction, it was discovered that after Cihang recreated the Creation Green Lotus, the fortune of the Lotus lineage had completely belonged to Cihang.
Without Cihang's permission, even Nuwa, who possesses the Dao of Creation, could not bring the Green Lotus to life.
Moreover, since it concerns Nezha's resurrection, he couldn't possibly let Nuwa intervene.
Previously, he used Nezha as a pretext to scheme against the Dragon Clan, while also using the Dragon Clan to sever Nezha's Innate Origin.
Nuwa wanted to use Nezha to seize the fortune of the Chan Sect, but he also coveted the fortune of the Empress Wa's Palace lineage.
Cutting off Nezha's Innate Origin also means severing the influence of the Empress Wa's Palace on him.
After losing the essence of the Lingzhu Zi, even if Nezha achieves great cultivation, he will find it difficult to regain his past memories.
