You should know that the Chaos Green Lotus was a legendary Chaos Supreme Treasure.
The moment the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus appeared, Qing Tian raised his hand and reached out. As terrifying power spread, it enveloped the entire lotus.
Buzz...
The Creation Green Lotus trembled, radiating a terrifying aura that blocked Qing Tian's power.
"Just an Innate Spiritual Treasure, and you dare block me?"
Qing Tian sneered. The power of the Sub-Saint Sixth Heaven was unleashed completely, while the aura of Pangu's bloodline faintly radiated from him.
The entire Penglai Immortal Island trembled. Many native lifeforms shivered in fear and hid themselves, terrified that disaster was about to befall them.
Perhaps because it sensed the aura of Pangu's bloodline, the Creation Green Lotus's resistance weakened, and Qing Tian seized it in one grasp.
"What a fine Creation Green Lotus. As expected, it is extraordinary."
Qing Tian sighed inwardly, then sat down cross-legged and began refining it wholeheartedly.
As for the Jade Bottle, it continued devouring the Three Lights Divine Water, taking it into its inner space.
The Primordial Wilderness never kept track of the years. In the blink of an eye, fifty thousand years passed, and Qing Tian finally refined the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus.
By then, the Three Lights Divine Water had also been completely devoured by the Jade Bottle, revealing the land beneath the lake.
"This is... Breathing Soil?"
Sensing the extraordinary aura emanating from the land beneath the lake, he made a faint guess.
This lake was no ordinary place. The Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus had fallen here, and there was also Three Lights Divine Water. How could the land beneath it be ordinary?
After pondering for a moment, he did not take all the Breathing Soil away. His purpose in coming to the Eastern Sea was to find a place to cultivate. Wherever Breathing Soil existed, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally dense, making it the best choice. There was no need to drain the pond to catch the fish.
He raised a finger, splitting a large patch of Breathing Soil into two. One portion was moved into the Jade Bottle, while the other transformed into a palace three thousand zhang tall, standing in the center of Penglai Immortal Island.
A plaque hung above the palace entrance, bearing four large characters: Qing Tian Dao Palace!
"From today onward, Penglai Immortal Island is my territory."
Looking at his handiwork, Qing Tian nodded in satisfaction.
He then searched Penglai Immortal Island and found some spiritual roots and immortal herbs, moving them all to the vicinity of Qing Tian Dao Palace.
Nourished by the dense spiritual energy of the Breathing Soil, the growth rate of these spiritual roots would absolutely exceed all imagination.
"I wonder where Fangzhang and Yingzhou, the other two immortal mountains, are."
He pondered this silently.
He had thought that the Three Immortal Mountains were together, but after searching everywhere, he still could not find the whereabouts of the other two mountains.
They had probably not yet reached the time to emerge into the world.
After thinking it over, he set up a grand formation near Penglai Immortal Island. He also transformed the Blood-Slaying Saber into the formation's core, protecting the entire island.
With his current strength, the grand formation he had set up was enough to block powerhouses of the Sub-Saint Realm.
If a Quasi-Saint entered it, the slightest carelessness could result in death and the loss of one's cultivation.
The Blood-Slaying Saber was no joke. It could injure a Quasi-Saint's physical body.
After finishing all this, Qing Tian's figure shot into the sky and flew toward the boundless Eastern Sea.
The matters on Penglai Immortal Island had come to an end. He had gained quite a few benefits, and it was time to leave.
Judging from the current situation, the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation was probably not far off. He had to take advantage of this opportunity to scheme for benefits.
After all, upgrading the system required no small number of Spiritual Treasures. He could not afford to slack off.
"There's also... Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao!"
He thought this to himself.
Previously, on Buzhou Mountain, he had completely fallen out with the Heavenly Dao.
Under normal circumstances, after the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, Hongjun would prove the Dao and become a Saint. At that time, the Heavenly Dao would gradually awaken and take control of the entire Primordial Wilderness.
That would be no good for him.
It would be best if he could eliminate Hongjun before then, which would spare him any future worries.
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Dao was, it had its limitations and could not openly attack. Hongjun, however, was different.
As the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, Hongjun could freely carry out slaughter in the Primordial Wilderness.
This was a massive threat.
Above the Eastern Sea, tribulation fortune and baleful energy spread everywhere. The sky across the entire Primordial Wilderness had changed color, and the sun had become indistinct, as if shrouded by some kind of power.
This was the sign that a great tribulation was approaching.
The baleful energy condensed into clouds. Any lifeform that inhaled it would become irritable and bloodthirsty, unknowingly falling into the great tribulation.
"Master, you finally came out!"
Seeing Qing Tian appear, Meng Wu happily came over to greet him.
Primordial Wilderness.
Western Continent.
Dense demonic energy spread through the air, blotting out the sun and completely shrouding the entire world.
Under the demonic energy's staining influence, even the vast sky and sun seemed to turn blood-red, radiating a strange glow.
On Mount Sumeru.
A black-haired, black-robed middle-aged man sat cross-legged atop a dark black lotus.
This man was incomparably domineering. His entire body remained as unmoving as a mountain, seeming to merge with Mount Sumeru, and yet also appearing to unite with heaven and earth, indistinguishable from them.
At the instant Penglai Immortal Island opened and the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus emerged, the black lotus beneath this man's seat suddenly trembled, radiating a peculiar aura, as if guiding him.
"Could it be that another of the Five Elements Lotus Platforms has emerged?"
Luohu's gaze was cold as he muttered to himself.
The Five Elements Lotus Platforms had a special connection with one another. When they came within a certain range, they would attract each other.
As an Innate Demon God, Luohu naturally understood the wonders of the Five Elements Lotus Platforms. He wanted even more to merge the lotus platforms into one and recreate the Chaos Green Lotus.
With this thought, Luohu rose to his feet. The black lotus beneath him trembled, transformed into a cloud of smoke, and vanished from Mount Sumeru in an instant.
Above the Eastern Sea.
Qing Tian and Meng Wu were flying toward the eastern world.
The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation was imminent. A bloody storm had already swept across the Primordial Continent, making it the perfect time to fish in troubled waters.
As for participating in the battle...
He had no such intention. His karma with the Dragon Clan had already been settled, and he had escaped the tribulation. There was no need to wade into those muddy waters again.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
As they traveled, dark clouds suddenly gathered and torrential rain poured down. Boundless baleful energy rolled across the sky, completely obscuring the sun's radiance and plunging the entire world into darkness.
Furious waves churned across the Eastern Sea. Countless fish and shrimp hid and lurked deep beneath the sea, not daring to reveal the slightest trace of their auras.
Gale-force winds and torrential rain came one after another, churning up towering waves that crashed down from nowhere as if they meant to destroy everything.
Qing Tian's eyes turned cold. He lightly pointed a finger, and vast amounts of primordial energy rapidly gathered between heaven and earth, transforming into an invisible wall. It blocked all the enormous waves, creating a pure land.
"Since you have come, why hide your head and show only your tail, needlessly disgracing the dignity of the Demon Ancestor?"
He spoke lightly, his calm voice carrying into the distance.
Before his voice faded, the boundless waves reversed and rolled back, churning restlessly across the sea. In the end, they transformed into a black lotus platform tens of thousands of zhang tall.
A figure stood proudly atop the lotus platform, terrifying baleful energy filling his body as he looked down upon all living beings.
"The Demon Ancestor..."
Meng Wu was suddenly startled and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
She sensed a fatal threat from Luohu.
This power was too terrifying, nearly capable of destroying heaven and earth. Compared to Ancestor Dragon before, it was even stronger.
"Good eyesight. As expected of the Qing Tian Dao Venerable whose name resounds throughout the Primordial Wilderness."
Luohu spoke coldly. Behind him, countless demonic-head phantoms brandished their claws and bared their fangs, radiating monstrous demonic energy that made one's scalp tingle.
Qing Tian remained unmoved. He raised his hand to shield Meng Wu, then said calmly, "May I ask why the Demon Ancestor has suddenly blocked my path? What exactly do you want? Could it be that you wish to have a battle with me?"
Luohu narrowed his eyes. He had initially thought that the Twelfth-grade Creation Green Lotus would fall into his hands effortlessly on this trip.
But only after truly seeing Qing Tian did he realize that things were not as easy as he had imagined.
The Daoist before him appeared ordinary, but in truth, he had long since returned to simplicity.
