Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus (Please Follow, Please Vote!)

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist deeply agreed. Their status as Pangu Sanqing was incomparably exalted; any supreme treasure fated to be connected with all three of them at once was bound to be extraordinary!

With that, the three rode auspicious clouds, carrying Lu Yuan as they followed the heavenly guidance In the Darkness toward a deep valley in the depths of Buzhou Mountain.

Upon seeing the valley from afar, the Three Pure Ones revealed faint, nearly imperceptible smiles. Even Grand Pure Daoist, whose heart was detached and never entangled by worldly matters, rarely showed a ripple of emotion.

Yet when Lu Yuan swept the valley with the power of his Primordial Spirit, he found not the slightest clue.

"Could an Innate Grand Formation be protecting it?"

Thinking of the Innate Spiritual Root, the Gourd Vine, from before, a glimmer of realization flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes, and he fell into thought.

Just as thoughts churned through Lu Yuan's mind, the Three Pure Ones descended from their auspicious clouds and landed within the silent, secluded valley.

Perhaps noticing the changes in Lu Yuan's expression, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist spoke up to offer guidance. "The time has not yet come; it cannot be forced. Supreme treasures possess spirits and hide amid the motes of dust in the Primordial World. Now is not the time for it to enter the world!"

Then he pointed a finger, bestowing a beam of Shangqing Immortal Light upon Lu Yuan. In an instant, Lu Yuan "saw" that an Immortal Island was hidden within the tranquil pool of this deep valley.

Divine light blazed across the Immortal Island, pure qi permeated the air, and it contained an abundant Power of Creation. Vigorous life circulated through it without cease.

Looking toward the island's center, he saw a lush green lotus swaying in the wind within a spiritual pool.

Upon closer inspection, the green lotus had already bloomed to twenty-three petals, while the twenty-fourth was on the verge of fully opening.

Yet at that moment, the power of Heavenly Punishment was gathering in the void above the Immortal Island, while strands of black Calamity Power drifted around the spiritual pool.

The instant that green lotus blossomed into twenty-four petals and transformed into an Innate Supreme Treasure, Heavenly Punishment would descend and utterly destroy it.

"So that's how it is. It is the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus. Before it could even enter the world, it had already become intolerable to the Heavenly Dao..."

As he looked at the green lotus wreathed in calamity qi, the origins of this treasure instantly surfaced in Lu Yuan's mind!

After Pangu created Heaven and Earth, the Chaos Green Lotus likewise broke apart and shattered, falling into the Primordial World and transforming into many supreme treasures.

Five of its source lotus petals sensed the Power of the Great Dao of the Five Elements and transformed into the Innate Five-Direction Flags: the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Earth-Separation Flame-Light Banner, Plain Cloud World Flag, Green Lotus Treasure Banner, and Mysterious Origin Water Controlling Banner.

The thorns upon its lotus stem fell into the Primordial World and were obtained by Beast Emperor Shenni, who tempered them with Chaos Fiendish Qi to forge an offensive Innate Supreme Treasure—the God-Slaying Spear.

There were also four immature lotus seeds, which respectively transformed into the Twelve-Petal World-Ending Black Lotus, Twelve-Petal Karma-Fire Red Lotus, Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, and Twelve-Petal World-Purifying White Lotus.

As for the Chaos Green Lotus's sole mature lotus seed, after falling into the Primordial World and being nurtured through endless ages, it was about to transform into the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus and attain Innate Supreme Treasure Status.

But because it had not received the merit of creating Heaven and Earth, and because the Heavenly Dao feared it, this Heavenly Punishment had come to pass.

When the green lotus bloomed and Heavenly Punishment descended, that would be the moment the Immortal Island within the secluded pool entered the world.

It was also the opportune moment Shangqing Tongtian Daoist had spoken of!

Casting a glance at the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus, thoughts turning in his mind, Lu Yuan understood that this was the green lotus said to symbolize the bond between the Three Pure Ones.

After quietly waiting for more than ten days, the Creation Green Lotus finally bloomed on this day, seeking to transform into an Innate Supreme Treasure. At the same time, the Heavenly Punishment that had gathered in the void above the Immortal Island came pouring down, thunder booming in waves.

Locked onto by the power of Heavenly Punishment, the Creation Green Lotus unfurled its emerald leaves in the spiritual pool. From within it, an unprecedentedly vast Power of the Great Dao of Creation surged into the sky, resisting the Heavenly Punishment.

However, compared with the boundless power of Heavenly Punishment, even though the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus had reached Innate Supreme Treasure Status, it could not escape the fate of utter destruction.

Sure enough, beneath round after round of pouring Heavenly Punishment, the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus could no longer endure, and this Immortal Island entered the world as well.

Just as this supreme treasure was about to shatter, three strands of Innate Pure Qi emerged from within its lotus platform, faintly resonating with the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruits above the heads of the Three Pure Ones.

The three strands of Innate Pure Qi resonated with one another. The Three Pure Ones exchanged smiles, and Grand Pure Daoist flew forward, lightly pointing at the Creation Green Lotus. "Red Flower!"

A wisp of immortal light descended from the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above his head onto the Creation Green Lotus. In an instant, one strand of Innate Pure Qi, carrying thirty percent of the green lotus's source and the lotus flower, separated out and transformed into a Flat Staff that fell into his hand.

This Flat Staff was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, as well as Grand Pure Daoist's treasure for attaining the Dao.

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist stepped forward second and likewise pointed at the remaining Creation Green Lotus. "White Lotus Root!"

Again, a wisp of immortal light descended from his Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit. From the remaining Creation Green Lotus, another strand of Innate Pure Qi carried thirty percent of the green lotus's source along with a plump white lotus root from the bottom of the pool, transforming into a Three-Jeweled Jade Ruyi that fell into Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist's hand.

Seeing his two elder brothers obtain their treasures for attaining the Dao, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist also stepped forward and pointed at the remaining Creation Green Lotus. "Green Lotus Leaf!"

As a wisp of immortal light descended from the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above Shangqing Tongtian Daoist's head, the final strand of Innate Pure Qi carried thirty percent of the green lotus's source along with the remaining Green Lotus Leaf, transforming into a Qingping Sword that fell into his hand.

These three treasures were all Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and the Three Pure Ones' treasures for attaining the Dao, perfectly matching the proverb: "Red flower, white lotus root, green lotus leaf—the Three Pure Ones were originally one family!"

As the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus broke apart and the Three Pure Ones obtained their treasures for attaining the Dao, the power of Heavenly Punishment above the Immortal Island slowly dissipated as well.

Seeing that his three seniors had taken only ninety percent of the Creation Green Lotus's source, Lu Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, a trace of doubt arising in his heart.

Yet before he could ponder it further, he saw the final portion of the Creation Green Lotus's source within the Immortal Island's spiritual pool merge with a shriveled, dull lotus seed carrying the power of lightning, transforming into a Three-Petal Green Lotus.

Although this Three-Petal Green Lotus had obtained ten percent of the Creation Green Lotus's source, perhaps because its lotus seed had been struck by the power of Heavenly Punishment, it appeared listless and malnourished.

Grand Pure Daoist glanced at the Three-Petal Green Lotus. It was merely a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure; even if it could continue to be cultivated, who knew how much painstaking effort it would require? He immediately lost interest.

Thus, he looked at Lu Yuan and said calmly, "Qingxuanzi, this Three-Petal Green Lotus shall be bestowed upon you. Go and pluck it. Nurture it with care in the future, and perhaps you may cultivate it into a Twelve-Petal Creation Green Lotus..."

Beside him, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist had just obtained treasures for attaining the Dao with the status of Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, so they naturally had no objections.

After all, although the Three-Petal Green Lotus was a Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, its lotus seed had been damaged by the power of Heavenly Punishment. Even with ten percent of the Twenty-Four-Petal Creation Green Lotus's source, who knew how much time, energy, and painstaking effort it would take to cultivate it into a twelve-petal lotus platform.
