Chen Tian had no idea where the Three Pure Ones were taking him. He only knew that the three Masters seemed to be waiting for some opportunity. This feeling had grown stronger and stronger over the years. If they had not been waiting for their disciple, the Three Pure Ones would probably have left long ago.
Soon, the four of them arrived at a Mountain Range.
Buzhou Mountain was the number-one divine mountain in the Prehistoric World, the mountain that supported the heavens, and the spine of Great God Pangu. It was therefore unimaginably vast. Even a Daluo might need several thousand years of flight to reach the other side of the mountain—and the other side was the West. Buzhou Mountain was also the dividing line between the eastern and western parts of the Prehistoric World.
Within Buzhou Mountain, there were countless Mountain Ranges of all kinds. Some might contain Spiritual Treasures, while others might contain Spiritual Roots—but they could just as easily be dangerous!
Yet the Three Pure Ones charged into the Mountain Range without the slightest hesitation, completely disregarding any danger. Chen Tian was speechless.
Now he could guess what the Three Pure Ones were waiting for.
Aside from Taiqing Laozi's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, Yuanshi had only the Yuqing Box, while Tongtian had only a Tongxuan Sword. (Well, the author just checked the information and found that the Qingping Sword was transformed from a leaf of the Creation Green Lotus, so let's treat this Tongxuan Sword as a temporary placeholder.)
What they were obtaining this time was something that would be divided among the Three Pure Ones—the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus!!
According to legend, the Chaos Green Lotus beneath Great God Pangu's seat transformed into four lotus platforms of blue, white, black, red, and gold after the creation of the world.
They were the Creation Green Lotus, Pure World White Lotus, Destroying World Black Lotus, Karma Fire Red Lotus, and Merit Golden Lotus!
Other than the Creation Green Lotus, the other four lotus platforms were all twelve-grade and were upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Yet the Creation Green Lotus had astonishingly reached twenty-four grades!
It was an Innate Supreme Treasure!
The other parts of the Chaos Green Lotus transformed as follows: its roots and stem became the God-Slaying Spear, which could injure Saints; its three great leaves became the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books; the Heaven Book, the Investiture of the Gods, would later be used to confer the gods; the Earth Book was Zhenyuanzi's accompanying Spiritual Treasure; and the Human Book became the Book of Life and Death, which would only appear after Houtu transformed herself into the cycle of reincarnation.
Its lotus pod became the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, which would later be used by Nuwa.
Its five lotus seeds became the Innate Five Directions Banner!
The lotus in the Mountain Range was precisely the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus. As for the Pure World White Lotus, people had only heard of it and had never seen it!
Chen Tian followed them into the Mountain Range. Birds sang and flowers bloomed inside, making it seem like an Immortal Realm. In this Immortal Realm was a lake. Astonishingly, the water in the center was gushing upward, and a lotus platform stood upon it! Once the lotus platform appeared, all the creatures in the entire Immortal Realm seemed to be crushed and ceased to exist.
The lotus platform had twenty-four petals, and there was a lotus seed at its center! This object was none other than the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus—the Innate Supreme Treasure!
Ding—Sign-in System: The host has arrived beside the Creation Green Lotus. Sign-in commencing. This sign-in will last ten minutes.
"???" Chen Tian. I actually forgot that I came to Buzhou Mountain to sign in!
By the lakeside, the Three Pure Ones looked at the Creation Green Lotus. The three exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.
Laozi stepped forward first and said, "The lotus flower."
In the next moment, a blue profound light appeared on the Creation Green Lotus. The lotus flower transformed into a Taiyi Horsetail Whisk and fell into Laozi's hand.
"The lotus root." Yuanshi also stepped forward. The moment he finished speaking, the blue profound light appeared again, and the lotus root transformed into a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, landing in Yuanshi's hand.
"The lotus leaf." Tongtian stepped forward, and the profound light appeared once again. The lotus leaf transformed into the Qingping Sword and fell into Tongtian's hand.
The Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus had been completely divided up... No! There was still one lotus seed!
The Three Pure Ones looked toward their disciple...
"???" Chen Tian was utterly confused. Why are you looking at me? I only came here to go through the motions, all right?
"Disciple, since we have all obtained the opportunities that belong to us, this lotus seed will be given to you," Laozi said.
"Indeed. We have already obtained our opportunities and no longer need the lotus seed. Giving it to our disciple can be considered giving it a destination." Yuanshi nodded in agreement.
"Disciple, what are you waiting for? Hurry and collect the lotus seed!" Tongtian hurriedly pulled Chen Tian to the lake.
"All right, then." Chen Tian sighed. I really don't lack Spiritual Treasures—or Spiritual Roots, for that matter... But wait, isn't this lake water Three Lights Divine Water?! And the soil at the bottom of the lake... It must be Nine Heavens Breathing Soil! It's even the source of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil!
The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was the material used to create humanity. When Nuwa obtained the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, it was beneath the Gourd Vine, and the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil there was merely ordinary. But the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil here was the source soil!
Otherwise, how could it have nurtured the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Green Lotus?
With that thought, Chen Tian gripped the lotus seed without the slightest hesitation. Then he swept out his hand, sending all the Three Lights Divine Water in the entire lake into his storage space, along with the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil at the bottom.
"???" Tongtian.
"?!?" Yuanshi.
"!!!" Laozi.
Tongtian was dumbfounded. Is my disciple really this poor? He even wants the lake water? And he's digging up the soil?
Yuanshi thought, This... seems to have some deeper meaning. Wait! The lake water and soil that nurtured the Creation Green Lotus...
Laozi thought, How the hell did I not think of that?! How could the lake water and soil capable of nurturing the Creation Green Lotus be ordinary?
"Ahem, three Masters, if you get injured in the future, feel free to come to your disciple! I have plenty of Three Lights Divine Water! Enough to keep you full!" Chen Tian coughed twice and said, holding back his laughter.
After hearing this, the Three Pure Ones became so angry that their faces flushed and their necks thickened. How the hell did we not think of that?!
Still, it was fine that their disciple had collected it. Perhaps their failure to think of this had instead created their disciple's opportunity. Yes! As expected of their disciple—his opportunities ran deep, and he truly pleased them!
Well, the Three Pure Ones all managed to justify the matter at the exact same time!
Ding—Sign-in System: Sign-in successful. Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Primordial Supreme Treasure: Primordial Pearl!
"!!!" Chen Tian was completely dumbstruck.
Holy crap!!!!
A Primordial Supreme Treasure???
What the hell!!!
The Primordial Supreme Treasure had come just like that?? Was it really this arbitrary?? Was there some mistake? This was his first sign-in, and he had already obtained the Primordial Pearl? Then in the future...
Ding—Sign-in System: Host, please stop dreaming. Since this is your first sign-in, the reward is exceptionally rich. The next reward is not guaranteed. You might even get a bottle of soda—or a pair of stinky socks worn by the author!
"Then what the hell do I need you for? Get lost!" Chen Tian thought.
"Disciple, it's getting late. We should head to Purple Cloud Palace first," Taiqing Laozi said again. After all, only two hundred years remained, and it would take them a while to get there.
"I'll listen to Master Father." Chen Tian nodded, then sat on the cloud bed formed through the combined efforts of the Three Pure Ones and began studying the Primordial Pearl.
The Primordial Pearl was merely a yellow-and-purple pearl. Without looking carefully, one might think it was just an ordinary pearl. But upon closer inspection, the purple lines on its surface seemed to be flowing...
After reading the introduction to the Primordial Pearl, Chen Tian was dumbfounded once again.
The Primordial Pearl contained not only a world, but also the Primordial Violet Qi of an entire world!!!
Holy crap!!!
Primordial Violet Qi—the foundation for becoming a Saint!!
Although Chen Tian's cultivation method did not require it, he could use it to temper his body! He could temper the Dao Seals within his body! With that, fighting a Daluo as a Taiyi would no longer be a dream!!!
