Seeking Treasures and Opportunities on the Immortal Island

After refining the Boundary Tablet of Penglai Immortal Island, Bei Ming could sense the locations of the other two immortal islands—Fangzhang and Yingzhou.

What shook Bei Ming even more was what he discovered:

The three immortal islands were arranged in the shape of the character "pin," forming the Innate Three Talents Formation;

They drew upon one another, their auras linked and flowing through each other, forming an equilateral triangular Qi situation;

At the exact center of this equilateral triangular Qi situation;

Some exceedingly ancient and powerful existence was sealed within. Its form was vague and indistinct, yet its aura was astonishing.

"If I wish to uncover the truth, I must completely refine the Boundary Tablets of all Three Islands and take control of the entire Innate Three Talents Formation."

Divine Light flickered faintly in Bei Ming's eyes. His figure drifted into the air as he unleashed the Free and Unfettered Journey;

He did not hurry toward the other immortal islands, instead deciding to first gather up the opportunities on Penglai Immortal Island.

Through refining the Boundary Tablet, Bei Ming had a complete grasp of the island's structure and the placement of its spiritual treasures;

He knew clearly where every spirit treasure and spiritual root on the island was hidden.

As for those Innate Spiritual Roots, he let them continue growing where they were. After all, there was no better place to plant them;

Still, Bei Ming collected some Spirit Fruit and stored them in the Returning Ruins for easy use.

As the foremost of the Three Immortal Islands, Penglai's abundance truly lived up to its reputation.

Before reaching the center of the island, Bei Ming had already swept up eighteen scattered Innate Spirit Treasures;

These Innate Spirit Treasures varied in grade, including high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade ones;

And now, Penglai Immortal Island's greatest opportunity lay before his eyes.

Bei Ming stepped into the Core Zone. What met his eyes was a tranquil, secluded pool.

At the center of the pool bloomed the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus, flawless and lustrous as it exhaled rosy clouds;

This was also Bei Ming's greatest goal on this trip.

Several small, three-grade white lotuses clustered around the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus.

The water in the pool was no ordinary thing either. Its golden, silver, and purple hues intermingled—it was the renowned Three Lights Divine Water.

The golden Sunlight Divine Water could wear down flesh, blood, sinew, and bone;

The silver Moonlight Divine Water could corrode the Primordial Spirit and soul;

The purple Starlight Divine Water could dissolve the True Spirit and conscious thought;

Yet once the three were combined, they became the foremost sacred healing medicine of the Primordial Wilderness;

It could dispel every poison, heal all wounds and illnesses, and even grow flesh upon white bones and restore the dead to life.

Bei Ming raised a hand, and spiritual light flickered at his fingertips as a gentle force of attraction condensed.

The pool water surged, sending layer upon layer of golden, silver, and purple ripples spreading outward. Amid the shimmering waves, the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus slowly rose into the air.

The lotus platform spun slightly, its petals unfurling, every ray of light exuding ultimate purity and sanctity.

As it revolved in the air, the Pure World White Lotus gradually shrank to the size of a fist before drifting down into Bei Ming's palm.

Feeling the pure, immaculate aura of purification within the lotus platform, Bei Ming's heart settled;

Given time, this treasure would surely be able to drive away the Sha Qi of the Northern Continent.

For now, however, the most urgent matter was to finish refining this spirit treasure as soon as possible.

Bei Ming sat cross-legged beside the pool. His robes spread over the Green Stone, and his entire aura drew inward;

His hands rested naturally upon his knees, his five hearts facing heaven. With every breath, Dao Rhyme flowed;

The Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus hovered half a zhang before him, its petals trembling gently;

Bei Ming closed his eyes and concentrated, sinking his thoughts into it as he began refining the treasure.

During the Heaven-Opening Tribulation, the Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Green Lotus shattered;

Four of its lotus seeds fell across the Primordial Wilderness, each transforming into a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform.

Among them, the Merit Golden Lotus and the World-Destroying Black Lotus fell into the hands of Hongjun and Luo Hou respectively, displaying their might as early as the Demonic Dao War;

Later, when Hongjun accepted disciples, he would gift the Merit Golden Lotus to Jieyin, to suppress the luck of the Western Religion;

The Twelve Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus lay within the Blood Sea and was Old Ancestor Ming He's Personal Spirit Treasure;

And now, this Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus had fallen into Bei Ming's hands.

The Twelve-Grade Lotus Platforms were all Top-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures with forty-eight Restrictions, among the strongest spirit treasures beneath supreme treasures;

Not only could they suppress luck, but each possessed its own Miraculous Effect and unique strengths.

Throughout those long years, Bei Ming sat unmoving, while the spiritual energy around him remained steady without the slightest disturbance.

At last, amid boundless rosy clouds, the Pure World White Lotus was completely refined.

Streams of pure, immaculate light of purification slowly spilled from the lotus heart, winding around Bei Ming's body.

Though this Pure World White Lotus possessed formidable defense, it had little offensive power;

However, the Purification Power it contained could restrain Heart Demons, Sha Qi, Evil Spirits, and all other unwholesome things, with remarkably potent results.

Moreover, it and the World-Destroying Black Lotus, which was likewise a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform, were mutually countering nemeses.

It could be said that the Pure World White Lotus was precisely the nemesis of Luo Hou's Demon Sect.

After storing the Pure World White Lotus within the Returning Ruins, Bei Ming took out a white bottle.

This treasure was called the Spirit Breath Bottle, a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure he had just found on the island.

After casually refining several restrictions, Bei Ming raised it.

The mouth of the Spirit Breath Bottle trembled, and a rotating Spirit Vein Vortex immediately appeared, drawing a portion of the Three Lights Divine Water into the bottle for convenient use at any time.

As for the remaining greater half of the pool of Three Lights Divine Water, he left it here for now. Once he refined the Three Boundary Tablets, he would be able to move the Three Immortal Islands and pack it all up then.

Immediately afterward, Bei Ming's figure flashed as he used the Free and Unfettered Journey, speeding toward Fangzhang Island.

Before long, Bei Ming set foot on the second immortal island—Fangzhang.

Immortal mist lingered across the island, spiritual light swirled in Yinyun, and numerous Spirit Roots and Ancient Trees formed grotto-heavens of their own.

Bei Ming swept out with his Spiritual Sense and thought to himself, As expected, just like Penglai...

Wherever his Spiritual Sense passed, Fangzhang Island was full of vitality, yet not a single Innate Spiritual Material had developed spiritual intelligence.

The spiritual objects of Heaven and Earth were being tightly suppressed by some force, a shocking sight to behold.

Bei Ming looked toward the center of the Three Islands, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"It seems the existence at the center of the Three Islands is anything but simple.

"The strange state of the Three Immortal Islands must be connected to it."

After obtaining the Pure World White Lotus, Bei Ming's defensive spiritual treasures were already fairly complete.

What he urgently needed now was an offensive spiritual treasure.

Hopefully, he would gain something from Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island.

The first step after landing on the island was still to refine the Boundary Tablet, thereby gaining authority over the entire island and the Three Talents Formation.

Bei Ming arrived before the Boundary Tablet and began refining it.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Fangzhang Island, too, fell under Bei Ming's control.

After learning the island's Full Picture, Bei Ming could not help but feel delighted, a trace of anticipation surfacing in his eyebrows and eyes.

If the Twelve Grade Pure World White Lotus in Penglai Island's Core Region was immensely important to Bei Ming's overall future development, then the object hidden within Fangzhang Island's Core Region was undoubtedly the key most capable of directly increasing his Combat strength at present. Its importance was no less significant—indeed, it was even more urgent.

Suppressing his delight, Bei Ming did not gather the scattered spiritual treasures across the island first this time. Instead, he headed straight for the Core Region.

There was also an art to the order in which one opened gifts.

Proceeding step by step—opening the small gifts first, then the big gift—was naturally more interesting.

But if the big gift was enticing enough, opening it first was no less satisfying.
