Creation Green Lotus is Born, Red Flower, White Lotus Root, Green Lotus Leaf

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was not large, only seven feet seven inches in length, about as thick as an infant's arm. It had seven branches, each bearing a few crystalline leaves, but it had no roots—only most of its trunk remained.

"Buzz!"

Under Zhun Ti's full exertion and the infusion of Grand Unity Magic Power, the seven treasures of gold, silver, and lapis lazuli burst forth with blinding divine radiance. Every treasured leaf traced profound law trajectories through the void, attempting to block the comet-striking-moon streak of light.

Though the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree was refined in the later age, it was a thing of the primordial era—a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, reputed to be able to brush away anything, equally adept at offense and defense.

However, the Zhentian Arrow was transformed from Pangu's Ribs, belonging neither to the innate nor the later age, and thus was not subject to that rule.

"Kacha!"

The moment the arrow's tip touched the seven-colored barrier, a crisp sound like shattering glass rang out across heaven and earth.

The Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi and Earth Vein Power that Xuanyuan had infused into it madly corroded the barrier. Cracks like a spider web spread across the colorful screen atop the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and countless rays of treasure light were forcibly suppressed back into the tree by this earthen arrow.

"Hmph!"

Daoist Zhun Ti let out a muffled groan, golden blood spraying from his mouth. His form shot backward like a snapped bowstring, his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body dim and lusterless, severely injured and on the verge of death.

And this was only because, at the critical moment, a force from the Western Land had silently protected his Primordial Spirit.

Otherwise, Xuanyuan's single arrow would have caused him to suffer Death and Dao Annihilation on the spot!

"Junior Brother!"

Daoist Jie Yin cried out in alarm from afar, hastily abandoning Kuafu to come to his aid. But when he looked up, the enemy was gone, and when he turned around, even the two Great Witches had vanished.

"Elder Brother, this place is not safe. Let us leave quickly!"

Daoist Zhun Ti, his face as pale as gold paper, put away the dimmed Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree and urged urgently.

"Bitter indeed."

Hearing this, Daoist Jie Yin's originally sorrowful expression grew even more mournful. He then picked up his junior brother, transformed into a streak of Qi of Light, and fled westward.

The pair of brothers fled in disgrace, nursing resentment in their hearts. They laid the karmic blame on Kuafu and Da Yi, planning to settle the score when the opportunity arose.

"Daoist friend, my making a move here has disturbed your treasured land."

Casually sending Kuafu and Da Yi to a safe place millions of li away, Xuanyuan withdrew the Earthly Fiend Tainted Qi, returned to normal human size, and cupped his hands apologetically to Zhen Yuanzi.

"No matter. This Poor Daoist holds the Earth Book and has connected the earth veins here. Even if another Demon Dao Struggle were to occur, it could not destroy my Longevity Mountain."

"As for that pair of brothers from the Western Land, I have heard of them, but I do not know whose disciple they are. You should be careful, Daoist friend."

Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, unconcerned, and did not ask about Xuanyuan's Ancestral Shaman True Form. Instead, he offered a warning.

Zhun Ti and Jie Yin were not weak either, both being Mid Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals like Zhen Yuanzi. For such Great Divine Powers to have a master, could it be anyone less than a mighty existence like Old Ancestor Qiankun or Old Ancestor Yin Yang?

"Thank you for the reminder, Daoist friend. I will."

Xuanyuan nodded.

That arrow just now—with his Late Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation, the Ancestral Shaman True Form, the mobilization of earth vein power spanning millions of li, and the activation of two rare treasures transformed from Pangu's Ribs—how terrifying was its power?

Under normal circumstances, a Late Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal with shallow foundations and no protective treasures could have fallen on the spot. Even one protected by an innate spiritual treasure would find it hard to escape severe injury.

And yet, this Daoist Zhun Ti?

A Mid Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, relying on a single Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, had only been severely injured?

This matter made Xuanyuan grow vigilant in his heart.

These Great Divine Powers, destined to become Heavenly Dao Saints, were anything but simple. He must not be careless.

It was fortunate that he had not revealed himself directly this time, and that Longevity Mountain had been sealed off by Zhen Yuanzi using the Earth Book. As long as he never used the Qiankun Bow and Zhentian Arrow in front of Daoist Zhun Ti in the future, the latter would never recognize him.

Otherwise, being targeted by this shameless pair of brothers would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble down the line.

Next, after a conversation with Zhen Yuanzi, Xuanyuan learned that he planned to visit friends at Huoyun Cave in the Eastern Land. He did not linger, taking Tongtian and leaving Longevity Mountain to continue their travels through the primordial wilderness.

Though they called it traveling the wilderness, they still roamed the Western Land. Yet they never again found any trace of Daoist Zhun Ti or Daoist Jie Yin.

Instead, the Witch Ancestor Tribe flourished even more. By repairing the broken and chaotic earth veins of the Western Land, they continuously earned Heavenly Dao merit, and the strength of both Great Witches and Lesser Witches improved markedly.

As they traveled through the Western Land, they calculated that an Eon had passed since leaving Kunlun Mountain.

Over these years, Tongtian and Xuanyuan had made some gains. They had encountered innate spiritual treasures emerging into the world, but all were low or mid grade—as useless as chicken ribs. They kept them to bestow upon their Disciples in the future.

"The Western Land is barren, and Zhun Ti and Jie Yin have hidden themselves away. Elder Brother, why not return to Buzhou Mountain first, then travel to the other lands?"

Xuanyuan took a step, spanning ten thousand li of void, and turned to speak to Tongtian.

"Whatever Fourth Brother says."

Tongtian naturally had no objections.

To him, this single Eon away from the mountain had been far more carefree and enjoyable than staying on Kunlun Mountain.

And so, the two brothers changed direction and headed east.

One day, just as Xuanyuan and Tongtian returned to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, they suddenly saw thousands of azure lights explode across the northwestern sky.

A dense, tangible spiritual charm condensed into a vortex, as if heaven and earth had flipped and the cosmos turned upside down. A lotus seed, swirling with chaotic patterns, slowly emerged from the void. On its surface, reflections of the sun, moon, and stars, along with the phantom of Pangu Opens Heaven, could be seen.

"Hahahaha, Fourth Brother! No sooner have we returned to Buzhou Mountain than a treasure appears in the world. Is this not the favor of heaven and earth? It is destined to be our fortune!"

Tongtian was beaming with joy, utterly delighted.

Just from the heavenly phenomena stirred by its birth, he knew that what had emerged this time was a treasure of the highest order.

"A Creation Green Lotus Seed!"

The moment he saw this seed, Xuanyuan's pupils contracted sharply.

So this was the Creation Green Lotus he had searched for in vain last time at Buzhou Mountain, finally reaching the time of its emergence.

This Creation Green Lotus had no small origin—it was a mature seed from the shattered Chaos Green Lotus. The Chaos Green Lotus, along with the Chaos Pearl and the Sky-Opening Axe, were all Chaos Supreme Treasures possessing fifty Chaos prohibitions!

After Pangu opened the heavens, the Chaos Green Lotus shattered. Its seedpod transformed into the Cauldron of Creation, and its stem absorbed the malevolent qi of heaven and earth to become the God-Slaying Spear—both of these were Innate Supreme Treasures.

The former could revert the post-heaven to the pre-heaven and refine Innate Spiritual Treasures;

the latter dealt immense damage to the Primordial Spirit, capable of harming even the Heavenly Dao-entrusted Primordial Spirits of saints.

The five lotus leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into the Five Innate Directional Flags: the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Color Banner, the Southern Ground Flame Light Banner, the Western Plain Cloud Realm Banner, the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Banner, and the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

Each was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and when the five flags combined, they rivaled an Innate Supreme Treasure. They could also set up the Innate Five Elements Five Directions Grand Formation, capable of trapping five saints!

Beyond these were the five lotus seeds.

Four half-ripe seeds transformed respectively into the Twelve Petaled Karma Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve Petaled Merit Golden Lotus, the Twelve Petaled World-Destroying Black Lotus, and the Twelve Petaled World-Purifying White Lotus—all also Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

But this seed now appearing at Buzhou Mountain was the only fully ripe one among the five.

"Boom, rumble!"

The mature seed hovered in midair, inhaling and exhaling Chaos Residual Qi. In an instant, it bloomed into a twenty-four-petaled lotus platform. Every lotus petal flowed with Creation Qi, radiating a pressure that suppressed the heavens, causing the entire Buzhou Mountain to tremble.

The Twenty-Four Petaled Creation Green Lotus!

Yet the sky suddenly split open with cracks like a spider web, and nine bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder crashed down.

"Heaven envies it."

Xuanyuan sighed inwardly.

Although this Creation Green Lotus Seed had used the Chaos Residual Qi of Buzhou Mountain to nurture itself into the Twenty-Four Petaled Creation Green Lotus, its power was even half a step stronger than an ordinary Innate Supreme Treasure.

But its foundation was too strong, its potential too great—it was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, which thus sent down heavenly punishment.

Each strike of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, unleashed with the full force of the Heavenly Dao, possessed the might to annihilate a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

Though the Twenty-Four Petaled Creation Green Lotus was powerful, it was still a rootless floating duckweed, ultimately unable to withstand the suppression of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

When the first divine thunder struck the lotus platform, with Buzhou Mountain at its center, heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of miles fell into dead silence. The Chaos patterns on the lotus petals crumbled inch by inch;

when the second divine thunder fell, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the lotus platform;

and when the ninth divine thunder pierced the lotus heart, the Twenty-Four Petaled Creation Green Lotus let out a clear, mournful cry and exploded with a roar!

Amid the boundless spiritual light, the lotus platform split into three:

The crimson-red lotus petals transformed into the Coiling Dragon Flat Crutch, three feet three inches long, with a dragon head as the handle, a dragon mouth holding the Hunyuan Pearl, a dragon tail engraved with the cloud seal script for "Morality," and the crutch body entwined with Yimu Green Qi;

the dark green, deep lotus leaves condensed into the Qing Ping Sword, three feet six inches and five tenths long, its scabbard entirely ink-black and covered with green lotuses. The sword hilt was wrapped with green lotuses, emitting a faint, lingering fragrance. The Yin Yang Fish pattern swirled on the sword's body, and the blade's light tremors tore through space, releasing a soul-stirring dragon's roar;

the pure white, jade-like lotus root transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. Its head was shaped like a cloud of auspicious vapor, inlaid with three supreme treasure pearls, corresponding to the three lights of "Sun, Moon, and Stars," the three powers of "Heaven, Earth, and Man," and the three treasures of "Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

The handle bore nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragons ascending and descending in different postures. Its tail end was shaped like a lingzhi mushroom, with patterns of the Five Blessings, radiating five-colored rays and rosy clouds.
