Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, Pangu Marrow!

Buzhou Mountain.

The various Innate Great Powers parted ways, and East King Duke mounted Qiongqi, breaking through the air toward the summit of Buzhou Mountain.

In no time at all!

East King Duke's Great Luo Three Flowers suddenly trembled. He stared at the mist-shrouded cave heaven and blessed land before him, his eyes burning with possessive desire.

"Qiongqi, conceal yourself in the Void and refine that Chaos Gourd. This Emperor wishes to enter this cave heaven and seek out an Innate Divine Object!"

After giving his instructions, East King Duke stepped forward and vanished into the immortal mist.

Towering peaks and flowing waters, birds and beasts, dense spiritual qi, profound Dao resonance.

Gazing at the spirit herbs and spiritual roots, East King Duke felt his mind clear. This was an Immortal's Blessed Land untouched by any living being.

"Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, you are fated to be with This Emperor!"

"Three Pure Ones, my fellow Daoists, my apologies!"

East King Duke spoke slowly as he arrived at the center of the cave heaven and blessed land.

Endless Innate Spiritual Qi converged, forming a thousand-mile lake upon the earth, where all kinds of Water Tribe divine beasts roamed freely.

At the center of the lake, a ten-thousand-foot green lotus swayed.

Emerging from mud unstained, washed by clear ripples without allure.

Before him was precisely the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus, which could be refined into an Innate Supreme Treasure and wield supreme divine abilities.

During the World-Opening Tribulation, the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, and five of its seeds fell into the Primordial World, giving birth to five Lotus Platforms. This Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus was one of them.

The Creation Green Lotus, in the original course of history, was obtained by the Three Pure Ones and split into three: the Coiled Dragon Crooked Staff, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping Sword, all Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

As the saying goes, red flower, white lotus root, green lotus leaf—the Three Pure Ones were originally one family!

What a pity that a fine Innate Supreme Treasure was split apart, its power greatly diminished.

The Twelve-Petal Karmic Fire Red Lotus was Old Ancestor Minghe's companion spiritual treasure, burning all with Karmic Fire of Cause and Effect, killing without incurring karmic debt, and capable of purifying Heaven and Earth Sha Qi and the tribulation's ill omens.

The Twelve-Petal World-Destroying Black Lotus was obtained by Demon Ancestor Luohu during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation. Its Nine Nether Demonic Fire contained world-destroying might, and its Annihilation Demonic Light could sever Primordial Spirits, but it vanished without a trace during the War of Dao and Demon.

As for the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus, according to the general trend of the Primordial World, after the third lecture at Purple Cloud Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun would bestow it upon Jieyin, making it the treasure that suppressed the Western Teachings' fortune.

During the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, Mosquito Daoist slipped into Mount Sumeru, used his devouring divine ability to absorb the Merit Golden Lotus, reducing its grade to nine petals, no longer possessing the might of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

As for the Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus, it had the power to purify all things, cleanse the soul, and prevent demons from entering the mind. If East King Duke guessed correctly, it should be on the Three Immortal Islands.

Penglai Immortal Island gave birth to the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Yellow Middle Plum, while the other two immortal islands, Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island, would surely give rise to supreme treasures.

But the time was not yet ripe. Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island were hidden within chaotic space, and even with East King Duke's cultivation, he could not find them.

"If I could gather all five Lotus Platforms and nurture them with the supreme Chaos Force of the Chaos Seed and the World Origin, I wonder if I could recreate the divine might of the Chaos Green Lotus!"

"The Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus needs to be refined before it can become a true Innate Supreme Treasure. It's time for This Emperor's Yin-Yang Furnace to make an appearance!"

East King Duke moved his hands slightly, and the Yin-Yang Law transformed into rolling flames, surging toward the Creation Green Lotus at the center of the lake, seeking to sever its Life Force and refine it.

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

Suddenly, countless sword chants echoed through the cave heaven. The Creation Green Lotus released an endless stream of Green Lotus Sword Qi, trying to stop the refinement by the Yin-Yang Divine Fire.

Gale winds howled, and green sword light rampaged through the air. The cold, sharp sword intent seemed capable of tearing the world apart.

"As expected of an Innate Supreme Treasure, its power is truly terrifying!"

"One force breaks ten thousand laws—suppress!"

Clenching his hands into fists, East King Duke struck at the Creation Green Lotus. The Green Lotus Sword Qi stabbed against his body but could not break through the Chaos Demon God Body.

Bang, bang, bang!

Explosive sounds echoed as East King Duke, with the force of ten thousand jun, hammered his fists against the Creation Green Lotus. Each strike destroyed dense Life Force, and the Yin-Yang Divine Fire poured into the Creation Green Lotus.

In no time at all!

The Green Lotus Sword Qi dissipated, leaving only the Yin-Yang Furnace spinning in the Void, the Yin-Yang Divine Fire devouring the Creation Green Lotus.

As its Life Force faded, a one-zhang-sized Lotus Platform floated in the air, radiating the unique Dao resonance of an Innate Supreme Treasure, while Green Lotus Sword intent spread outward.

"Supreme defense, sharp sword qi—this Creation Green Lotus is a rare treasure, combining offense and defense, its power even greater than the Chaos Gourd!"

"With this treasure, This Emperor can walk the Primordial World with some confidence!"

East King Duke's magical power stirred slightly, and the Creation Green Lotus was absorbed into his Primordial Spirit.

Gazing at the thousand-mile lake, its spiritual qi rippling and waves shimmering, East King Duke suddenly sensed something—a faint, barely detectable life aura hidden within.

Could there be another opportunity at the bottom of the lake?

"Life Force undying, the Law of Strength revealing itself—it seems This Emperor must go to the lakebed to investigate!"

Can't find the book by title? Try searching by author—maybe it just changed its name!

Splash!

East King Duke's mind stirred, and the Law of Strength suddenly plunged into the thousand-mile lake, splitting it in two and revealing the lakebed.

Indeed!

A cavern appeared right before East King Duke's eyes, the life force emanating from within. The Creation Green Lotus, an Innate Supreme Treasure, must be connected to the mysterious object inside.

With a flicker of his magic power, East King Duke entered the cavern.

Stalactites hung from the stone walls, accompanied by the drip of flowing water. In the central stone pit lay a clump of milky-white viscous liquid.

Creation force, life breath, and the Law of Strength derived from it, evolving into all kinds of phenomena.

"Pangu Marrow—a divine treasure even more precious than Pangu's Blood Essence or Primordial Spirit!"

"If This Emperor absorbs all the Pangu Marrow here, the Law of Strength will reach minor mastery, and breaking through to Quasi-Saint will be effortless."

Joy lit up his face. East King Duke carefully conjured a jade vessel and collected the Pangu Marrow into it.

The milky-white Pangu Marrow contained boundless vitality.

To date, East King Duke had mastered three laws: the Law of Strength, the Yin-Yang Law, and the Immortal Dao Law. The Pangu Marrow was his breakthrough point to Quasi-Saint.

Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, East King Duke took the Law of Strength as his main path, with the Three Thousand Laws as supplements. Only by deepening his comprehension of the Law of Strength could he break through to higher realms.

The other laws—Yin-Yang and Immortal Dao—could only increase East King Duke's foundation and reserves, unable to play a decisive role in the short term.

But the Law of Strength was extremely difficult to cultivate, often requiring enlightenment in adverse circumstances. With the Pangu Marrow, East King Duke could save himself countless years of cultivation.

Still, he had long planned to prove the Dao through strength.

The Chaos Bead contained a Great Thousand World. As long as East King Duke imitated the World Creation of Great God Pangu, he could shatter the heavenly moat and prove the Dao as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

"System, open the panel!"

East King Duke returned to his Immortal's Blessed Land and began sorting through his gains.

Looking at the system panel, a satisfied smile appeared on East King Duke's face.

Then!

Gazing at the Immortal's Blessed Land, he summoned the Primordial Measure Ruler.

"This place is a top-tier Immortal's Blessed Land. This Emperor won't waste it!"

"Primordial Measure Ruler, slash!"

East King Duke raised an eyebrow. The purple-golden measure ruler swept out toward the surrounding Void, its violent power severing the connection between the Immortal's Blessed Land and the Chaos space, while erasing the lingering might of Great God Pangu.

In an instant!

The Primordial Measure Ruler transformed into a sky full of purple light, swung billions of times in a single moment by East King Duke.

Boom!

A dull thunderclap rang out—mountains crumbled, earth split, and the ground shook.

Within a thousand-mile lake, countless living creatures trembled as monstrous waves surged outward.

"Chaos Bead, absorb!"

A gray bead floated in the air, its obscure and profound Chaos Divine Light enveloping the entire cave heaven.

The next moment, this Immortal's Blessed Land was drawn into the Chaos Bead.

Chaos Qi Flow rampaged, transforming into Innate Spiritual Qi. A spark of life appeared in the Chaos space at that moment.

"This trip to Buzhou Mountain has yielded no small harvest for This Emperor."

"Now it's time to head to West Kunlun and enjoy the bliss of the wedding night with West Queen Mother."

A slight curl at the corner of his mouth, East King Duke turned his body, crossed space, and stepped onto Qiongqi's Dragon Body, tearing through the air toward South Kunlun.

A long while later, the Three Pure Ones stared at the empty Void, exchanging bewildered glances.

The Heavenly Dao Opportunity had been snatched away before them.
