Opportunity Appears, Encountering Han Xi

Just then, the Green Lotus of Creation in his Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled.

Is there an opportunity here?

That doesn't seem right. My Primordial Spirit hasn't sensed any sign of it.

Xuan Qing suddenly felt that something was off. If this were an opportunity drawn by his Auspicious Qi, he would certainly sense that unseen pull. Since the Green Lotus of Creation was reacting, it must be related to the Origin of the Green Lotus of Creation.

Had Xuan Qing not existed, the Green Lotus of Creation would have fallen upon Zhou Mountain and eventually split into three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, which would be obtained by the Three Pure Ones.

Would the portion of Origin he had obtained raise the grade of the Green Lotus of Creation?

He immediately took out the Green Lotus of Creation and followed the pull of its Origin.

"An Innate Great Array."

Xuan Qing's path was suddenly blocked by the great array before him.

This Formation was formed from Qi of Creation in the state of Two Modes. As long as one comprehended the Dao rhythm of Yin Yang, one could freely enter and leave the Formation without damaging it.

Creation divided into Yin and Yang. As one who had taken form from the Origin of Creation, he easily comprehended this Formation and stepped inside.

Countless strands of Qi of Creation filled the Formation, while Innate Spiritual Qi had liquefied. What a Blessed Land. At the center of the Formation lay a pool, with a Twelve-grade Green Lotus floating upon its surface.

At that moment, the Green Lotus of Creation flew out from his Sea of Consciousness, and a strand of Creation Origin slowly descended into the Twelve-grade Green Lotus.

Xuan Qing immediately understood. The Green Lotus of Creation had not come here to reclaim its Origin; it had come to make up for the Twelve-grade Green Lotus and settle its Karma.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing immediately took out the last of his Great Dao Merit and sent it into the Green Lotus of Creation.

Back then, the Green Lotus of Creation had split off part of its Origin to take the place of this Twelve-grade Green Lotus and fall upon Zhou Mountain, changing its Destiny. However, the portion of Origin it had separated was too little to evolve into a complete Twelve-grade Green Lotus.

Only now, with its Origin restored, could it reach the level of the other Twelve-grade Green Lotuses.

But without the Green Lotus of Creation at the Innate Supreme Treasure level, how could it split into three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures? Had he stolen the opportunity of the Three Pure Ones?

If the Three Pure Ones learned of this, they would probably put him in their little black book.

"Hahahaha! ⊙▽⊙"

Thinking of this, Xuan Qing laughed happily. They were three unfilial brats anyway. So what if he had stolen it? Leaving them this lotus was already generous enough.

Those three fellows, the Three Pure Ones, had never protected the Prehistoric Era. They had even shattered the Prehistoric Era during the Great Tribulation of Investiture of the Gods. It was their good fortune that Pangu had not cleaved them to death.

Then look at the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Although they also stirred up trouble in the Prehistoric Era, at least one of them transformed into Reincarnation. The other members of the Witch Clan might not have been very bright, but they were always talking about Father God Pangu.

They invoked Father God every day, and even their slogan for ruling the Prehistoric Era was to protect it for Father God. Say what you will about their vision, but in modern times, they would absolutely be great big brothers of society!

Xuan Qing then thought of something else. The Heavenly Dao had yet to be born, and the Three Pure Ones were still far from taking form. This Spiritual Treasure did not have anyone's name written on it, so why couldn't it be his?

Xuan Qing raised his hand to pluck the Twelve-grade Green Lotus. Whoever got it owned it, and the Heavenly Dao could figure something out for the Three Pure Ones later.

However, the moment he touched the lotus, before he could pluck it, something kicked him in the butt. Xuan Qing was directly kicked out of the Formation and sent flying down Zhou Mountain.

"Ah! That hurts like hell!"

Xuan Qing clutched his butt and cried out. This was pain in his soul.

Could it have been Pangu? At this point in time, there should not have been anyone else capable of running wild on Zhou Mountain.

"Great God, are you not dead?"

Xuan Qing shouted toward the mountaintop.

Great God Pangu could see through him, which meant he could also see through the River of Time and Space. And the strange things he had said when opening heaven... now that Xuan Qing thought about it, something did seem off.

Not even the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods had all died. Great God Pangu was even more formidable, so there was no way he had left himself without a backup plan. This guy was just too unprincipled. Xuan Qing had thought that had been their final meeting.

Now, he had merely tried to take a Spiritual Treasure, and Pangu had kicked him in the butt.

"Hey, where the hell did that send me?"

Xuan Qing patted his butt and got to his feet.

"Hiss!"

His butt still hurt. That kick seemed to have struck his soul, and even circulating his Magic Power did not make the pain disappear. Wasn't this just plain punishment?

Suddenly, another great array appeared before Xuan Qing, and Zhou Mountain's pressure had not disappeared either.

Was this an opportunity bestowed by the Great God?

"Great God, you really are a decent man. You kick me once, then give me something as compensation. Remember to kick me a few more times next time."

He wanted a Spiritual Treasure, and the Great God even gave him a ride straight to it. Though the process was somewhat hard to get used to.

Xuan Qing immediately clasped his hands toward the direction from which he had come, expressing his gratitude to Pangu.

Xuan Qing immediately began standing there and comprehending the great array. His butt still hurt, so he did not dare sit down.

The moment he circulated his Magic Power, before it even touched the great array, the array directly opened a gap.

"Damn, smart lock!"

Did Great God Pangu enjoy studying this stuff too? Once his understanding of Formations reached a certain level, could he set one up on Azure Nether Island as well?

If someone somehow got the key to his Dao Field and tried to sneak in, only to be blasted to death by the Formation, wouldn't that be a wonderful sight?

Xuan Qing began fantasizing. He absolutely had to make one. Once he returned to his Dao Field this time, he would definitely study it carefully. This thing was far too tempting.

As he thought, Xuan Qing walked inside, wondering what Spiritual Treasure Great God Pangu had left for him.

Xuan Qing then began searching within the great array, but in the end, he found nothing.

No way, was the Great God messing with him?

Suddenly, an aura began pulling him. Xuan Qing was surprised. This was a real opportunity, unlike the last one, which he could see but not take and had even needed to pay for.

Following the aura's guidance, Xuan Qing arrived at a valley. A small stream slowly flowed past him, and the water surface radiated the vitality of Creation.

What kind of water was this?

He was familiar with Three Lights Divine Water. Innate Ren Water was pitch-black, and no other divine water could possibly appear here. Could this be something unrecorded in the Prehistoric Era?

Xuan Qing scooped up some of the divine water and began examining it.

"Innate Gui Water!"

Both Innate Gui Water and Innate Ren Water were condensed from water essence evolved from the Water Origin, one of the four great Origins of the Prehistoric Era. Where there was Innate Ren Water Essence, there would naturally be Essence of Gui Water.

However, because Essence of Gui Water had never appeared in the Prehistoric Era, everyone later believed that only Innate Ren Water existed.

Innate Ren Water was the yang aspect of water and could transform into seas, while Innate Gui Water was the yin aspect of water and could create all things.

When the two waters fused together, they could become the source of the Innate Water Element. They were the finest condensation of laws for cultivating the Great Dao of water.

Since there was Gui Water here, there had to be Essence of Gui Water. Innate Ren Water Essence had its companion Ren Water Peaches, so Essence of Gui Water should be no exception.

Then this time, he could obtain the companion Spiritual Root of Essence of Gui Water. His Dao Field happened to lack a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root, which diminished its grandeur a little. This would make up for it.

Following the source of the Gui Water, Xuan Qing traveled upstream until he reached the center of the valley. A Gui Water Spiritual Apricot tree stood there, obscured by water mist and impossible to see clearly.

Xuan Qing slowly approached. Waves of fragrance rushed toward him, and the spiritual apricots on the tree were so ripe that Spiritual Qi was overflowing from them.

A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight Innate Restrictions hung from the branches, while a little girl slowly opened her eyes.

Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal. She had taken form from Essence of Gui Water. Wasn't her Root Origin the same as Zhen Yuanzi's?

"Big Brother, please don't kill me. I'll give you the spiritual apricots," the little girl said, shrinking back in fear.

Hm? Why was this little girl so afraid of him? Besides, no one had taken form and been born on Zhou Mountain yet. What was she afraid of?

"I'm not here to take your things. Tell me, why are you afraid of me?"

The little girl looked at Xuan Qing with teary eyes and softly explained, "Some time ago, I felt my Auspicious Qi weaken, and a thread of life connected to me broke. Sister must have died."

As she spoke, she began crying.

"Sister? Another living being was born here and left?" Xuan Qing became curious.

"No. Sister took form from Essence of Ren Water, and her life was connected to mine. It suddenly broke some time ago. It must be because someone killed the Ren Water Peaches."

After saying that, the little girl looked at Xuan Qing in despair.

The person who had killed her sister might have been Hongjun. Didn't Hongjun enlighten the Peach Tree using Ren Water Peaches? There had never been a great being known to have taken form from Innate Ren Water Essence, so it must have been killed around this time.

With such a Root Origin, Innate Ren Water Essence was far superior to Haotian and Yaochi. Why had Hongjun not taken her in? That old man was rather ruthless. He had already begun playing dirty tricks.

"If you don't mind, come with me. You definitely won't be able to protect this Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root. It might be stolen someday."

Xuan Qing truly pitied the little girl somewhat. She had lost her closest family the moment she was born.

If she were properly nurtured, she might be able to break through to Primordial Chaos Great Luo in the future. Her potential was immense, and he would also gain a Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Root in the process.

Xuan Qing said sincerely, "My Dao Field is rather well-hidden, and it has a powerful Guardian Formation. It is not in a dangerous place like Zhou Mountain, so you won't have to live in fear anymore."

The little girl could also sense that Xuan Qing was not lying, so she nodded.

"What's your name? I'm Xuan Qing. Call me Brother from now on."

"Thank you, Brother. My name is Han Xi." Though the little girl was happy, sadness still showed beneath that happiness.

"Brother, there's a place inside the great array that I can't enter. Shall we go take a look?" Han Xi asked cautiously.

Taking out the Green Lotus of Creation, Xuan Qing stored the Gui Water Spiritual Apricot within it, then collected some Innate Gui Water as well. From now on, he would no longer lack Innate Gui Water.

"Brother, is this the Green Lotus of Creation? Is it an Innate Supreme Treasure? It feels more powerful than my Bell."

"That's right, but our strength is insufficient, so keep it secret, all right?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Han Xi nodded obediently.
