Qing Huan's Spiritual Sense, as fine as silk, instantly probed into the core of the black lotus.
Although the Lotus Platform has twelve petals and is in perfect form, the core imprint at its deepest part appears dim and has several fine cracks. These are likely wounds left by the earth-shattering battle between Demon Ancestor Luohu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the past, which have damaged the most fundamental innate Indestructible Spiritual Light.
"But..."
Qing Huan's lips curled into a slight smile, exuding an air of complete control.
"This minor flaw is insignificant. The Three Lights Divine Water nourishes all things, and the ancestral veins of Yingzhou Island possess boundless spiritual energy. Given time, it will be enough to fully restore your original essence, and perhaps even surpass your former glory!"
Just as Qing Huan was holding this legendary Devil Dao treasure in his palm, examining it closely, a thought that was both earth-shattering and audacious suddenly struck his mind like a lightning bolt piercing through the chaos!
"The World-Destroying Black Lotus... The World-Purifying White Lotus... The Karma Red Lotus... The Merit Golden Lotus..."
Whispering, each name represents the most supreme Innate Lotus Platform in the Primordial Wilderness world, containing a primordial Great Dao.
"If we could forcibly fuse these four Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, which originated from the same source but possess contradictory yet complementary attributes, into one?!"
Once the thought took hold, it could no longer be suppressed!
"The four lotuses unite as one, their origins blend, their Great Dao complement each other... Is it possible... is it possible to reverse the origin, return to the source, and recreate a trace of the true form of the Thirty-Six-Grade Chaos Green Lotus that gave birth to the Great God Pangu at the beginning of Heaven-Opening?..."
Even if it's only a 20th or 24th grade... it's still a genuine... Innate Supreme Treasure, or even... touching the threshold of Chaos Spiritual Treasure?!
Thinking of this, Qing Huan's heart began to pound uncontrollably, and an unprecedented burning sensation filled his entire body, to the point that he almost couldn't help but want to burst into laughter!
If it is truly successful, then using this fused supreme Lotus Platform as a vessel to entrust one's primordial spirit, bearing one's vast Dao Fruit and immeasurable Luck, then the plan to become a saint, attempting to unify the Dao Fruit of the "past," "present," and "future," and to impact the ultimate transcendence and eternally indestructible "Great Silence Realm," will have the most solid and flawless foundation!
Lotus Platform of the 20th grade, a supreme Innate Supreme Treasure, is a vessel for the primordial spirit. Its carrying capacity and amplification effect are far beyond those of ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure, not even the Chaos Bell, the Pangu Banner, or the Taiji Diagram!
However, this euphoria came quickly and went even faster!
The smile on his face hadn't even fully bloomed before it suddenly froze and solidified!
A chilling, boundless sense of rejection and warning, originating from the Primordial Wilderness world itself, silently descended upon the primordial spirit!
It was as if countless cold and merciless "Heavenly Eye" suddenly opened, locking onto the black lotus in his hand and the "blasphemous" thought in his mind!
"Twentieth grade... Creation Green Lotus..."
Qing Huan's eyes cleared instantly, and alarm bells rang in his mind, as if a bucket of icy water from the deepest hell had been poured over his head.
"Yes, how could I forget that lesson from the past!"
The legendary Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus is (transformed from the mature Chaos Green Lotus). Its lotus root, lotus leaf, and lotus flower are so perfect that they are not tolerated by the unstable rules of heaven and earth at the beginning of the Primordial Wilderness because they contain too much Creation power and are too heaven-defying!
Heavenly Dao intervened directly, causing it to split into three:
The Red Flower transformed into the Taiyi Buddhist Duster (a treasure from which Taishang Laojun attained enlightenment).
The White Root transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi (a treasure for proving the Dao of the Yuanshi Yuqing).
The Green Lotus Leaf transformed into the Qingping Sword (a treasure for attaining enlightenment in the Shangqing Tongtian Realm)!
Belonging to the Three Pure Ones and assisting them in attaining enlightenment may seem like a fortuitous opportunity, but in reality, it is irrefutable proof that the Heavenly Dao forcibly "dismembers" those who defy Heaven!
"The primordial lotus Lotus Platform formed from the Chaos Green Lotus, within this Primordial Wilderness world... has its rank cap firmly locked at the twelfth grade! This is an ironclad rule! It is a 'shackle' set by the Heavenly Dao (Earthly Dao) to maintain the stability of the Primordial Wilderness!"
Qing Huan's expression turned extremely serious.
"Once Lotus Platform surpassing the twelfth rank appears, whether it's the twentieth or twenty-fourth rank... that means it has begun to 'cross the line,' beginning to touch the realm of Chaos Spiritual Treasure..."
This is an anomaly that the current Primordial World absolutely cannot tolerate!
"... The Ninety-Nine Purple Cloud Divine Thunder is likely to strike one after another... Heaven and Earth will not tolerate it..."
The devastating scene vividly appeared in Qing Huan's mind.
Once a prototype of a Chaos-level spiritual treasure manifests in the Primordial Wilderness, without any external force, the very rules of the Primordial Wilderness world will spontaneously condense the legendary Eighty-One Purple Cloud Divine Thunders, which represent the highest punishment of the Heavenly Dao and are sufficient to completely obliterate Hunyuan Saint!
Under the overwhelming Heavenly Might, anything that defies Heaven will be reduced to dust!
"Unless... Great Dao Merit..."
Qing Huan's gaze sharpened like a hawk's, as if piercing through endless dark barriers and looking into the depths of the Primordial Continent.
"Only by merging the boundless Merit recognized by the supreme rules into the core of the fused Lotus Platform, using its 'legitimacy' to neutralize its 'defying nature,' can it be feasible, or rather, to persuade the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao to acknowledge the 'legitimacy' of this 'forbidden object's' existence, allowing it to manifest in the Primordial Wilderness without incurring divine punishment!"
The Great Dao Merit is one of the most precious and fundamental forces in the Primordial Wilderness. It symbolizes the Great Dao's supreme recognition of "merit" and is a true get-out-of-jail-free card.
"It seems I need to do something earth-shattering, something that shakes the very foundation of the Primordial Wilderness order, to attract the favor of the Great Dao and bestow Merit upon me... Otherwise..."
A fierce glint resurfaced deep within Qing Huan's eyes, icy cold and filled with an undeniable resolve.
"Then we can only... go to those barbarians of the Witch Clan and 'borrow' some of the remaining Merit from the creation of the world in the Witch Clan's Pangu Temple... or go to Kunlun Mountain to find those three self-righteous 'Pangu Orthodox' and 'borrow' some of the Merit bestowed upon them by the Heavenly Dao when they Establishing a Religion and became saints... If they dare not lend it..."
As if sensing its master's killing intent, the World-Destroying Black Lotus in Qing Huan's palm trembled slightly, releasing an even darker wisp of demonic energy.
Just as Qing Huan's mind raced, plotting his grand scheme to gain Merit and preparing to first collect and nurture the World-Destroying Black Lotus—
A sudden change has occurred!
The twelfth-grade world -World-Destroying Black Lotus in his palm, which seemed to have been initially suppressed and quieted down, suddenly erupted from the depths of its core with a dark beam of light that was extremely condensed and pure!
This black light was faster than the concept of time. As soon as it appeared, it ignored spatial distance and, carrying the deepest and most filthy demonic thoughts, Qing Huan Qinghuan's brow and sea of consciousness. Its target was none other than the core True Spirit on which his primordial spirit resided!
This is the most insidious and vicious hidden force within the very essence of the World-Destroying Black Lotus!
It was the last life-saving measure, and also the back door for possession, that Rahula planted with his own demonic ancestor's Origin Imprint before his fall!
"Hmph! I was prepared for this!"
Qing Huan's reaction speed is terrifying!
Almost at the same instant the black light burst forth from the lotus heart, a thought stirred within his mind!
Whoosh!
