Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus

Kunlun Mountain.

Tianlu had stumbled into a Xiantian Array, finding a world within a world.

There were no overlapping peaks or vast, churning seas of clouds here as there were in the Kunlun Mountain outside; there was only a Creation Space, silent to the point of extremity.

The Xiantian spiritual energy, so dense it had materialized, condensed into droplets of spiritual liquid that drifted down like a fine mist, nourishing this hidden blessed land.

In the very center of this blessed land stood a pool, roughly a square zhang in size.

The pool shimmered with gold, silver, and purple, the three colors blending and swirling together.

This was no ordinary spiritual spring; it radiated three distinct yet interdependent, miraculous lights.

The golden liquid emitted a terrifying aura that could erode flesh and blood, its light as blinding as the scorching sun.

The silver liquid carried a strange fluctuation that corroded the Primordial Spirit and soul, reminiscent of a cold, frigid moon.

The purple liquid contained a lethal killing intent capable of devouring true spirits and consciousness, like the depths of a starry sky.

Any one of these three liquids, if taken alone, would be a deadly poison in the Primordial World that would make even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal tremble; a single careless touch would result in the destruction of body and soul.

Yet, when these three-colored divine waters blended and swirled according to the mysterious rules of creation, that extreme death energy and toxicity were instantly reversed, transforming into the purest and most majestic vitality in the Primordial World.

Above the pool floated a lotus, entirely emerald green, with twenty-four layers of petals.

The lotus looked as if it had been carved from the purest Law of Creation in the world, with every petal inscribed with complex and profound Xiantian Great Dao divine patterns.

Wisps of clear creation energy drifted down from the lotus throne, reflecting off the three-colored divine water below and evolving into endless cycles of birth and destruction.

It hovered there silently, as if suppressing the fortune and creation of this entire realm.

As the dense Xiantian spiritual energy drifted in, Tianlu, who carried the auspicious aura of a heavenly beast, caused the emerald lotus throne to tremble slightly.

A translucent green vine actually reached out from beneath the lotus seat and gently touched Tianlu's mighty antlers.

Tianlu, who had been in a deep slumber, suddenly felt a disturbance on his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.

It was a sensation of pure creation energy brushing against his skin—warm, gentle, and mysterious.

Sensing that Tianlu had awakened, the lotus vine vanished instantly.

Tianlu, lying on his Cloud Treasure, stared blankly at the scene before him. He raised his tiger-like forelimbs and rubbed his eyes vigorously, his heart surging with tumultuous waves.

Had he seen correctly?

The liquid in the pool, where gold, silver, and purple blended to turn death into life with such incredible vitality—was it truly the legendary supreme healing medicine of the Primordial World, the Three Lights Divine Water?

And was this lotus throne the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus?

Tianlu took a deep breath; the dense energy of creation could not be mistaken.

Although he had never seen them in person, the memories inherited from his Xiantian nature told him that this was indeed the Three Lights Divine Water and the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

Thinking of this, Tianlu recalled his innate divine abilities and realized his own fortune and destiny were far superior to others, and he was instantly overcome with wild joy.

One had to know that this Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus was no ordinary Xiantian Spiritual Treasure; it was formed from a mature seed of the Thirty-Six Petal Chaos Green Lotus that had nurtured Pangu during the Chaos era.

It not only contained the most fundamental Great Dao of Creation of the Primordial World but also carried the supreme fortune of the creation of the world.

According to the workings of the hidden heavenly destiny, this Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus was not meant to be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World. It was destined to split into three at some point in the future, becoming Laozi's Dragon-Coiling Flat Cane, Yuqing Yuanshi's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and Shangqing Tongtian's Green Duckweed Sword.

These were the orthodox treasures of Pangu, the destined weapons for the three future Heavenly Dao Sages to prove their Dao.

Yet now, this opportunity to defy heaven and change fate was sitting quietly right before his eyes.

He had even managed to find the Xiantian Spiritual Treasures destined for the Three Pure Ones.

Excitement flashed in Tianlu's eyes as he stood up from the mid-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure-level cloud.

He stepped forward, pondering how to collect the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.

The power of creation contained within this Xiantian treasure was as heavy as a Great Thousand World; ordinary spatial divine abilities could not bear its terrifying foundation, and attempting to collect it by force would result in being instantly shattered by the clear creation energy inherent in the lotus.

Tianlu circled the pool of Three Lights Divine Water twice, his two translucent antennae twitching slightly.

He thought for a moment and found a way.

As a Primordial anomaly, the very first Pixiu, a beast of good omen, he possessed his own unique innate divine ability.

The Pixiu devours all things without excreting, containing the creation of the universe within.

Within his belly, he was born with a strange space.

This space was not a mere storage vessel, but an internal world formed by the intertwining of the Law of Space and the Law of Devouring, sufficient to carry all things in the Primordial World and isolate all heavenly detection.

At this thought, a brilliant, auspicious light erupted from Tianlu's body, and his form, originally the size of a calf, swelled in an instant.

Ten zhang, a hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang!

In the span of a single breath, Tianlu transformed into a towering behemoth, standing like an ancient divine mountain within the Xiantian Array.

Without any hesitation, his massive body lunged forward, and his giant maw swallowed the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus into his strange space.

The Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus did not even emit a ripple of resistance as it slid down Tianlu's throat and settled safely into the deepest part of the boundless, strange space within his belly.

Tianlu let out a burp.

A wisp of pure, clear creation energy overflowed from the corner of his mouth, turning into phantom green lotus flowers that dissipated into the void.

Tianlu smacked his lips, feeling the heavy, satisfying fullness in his stomach, and narrowed his eyes in contentment.

His gaze shifted downward to the square pool below.

After a moment of thought, Tianlu decided to toss the Three Lights Divine Water in as well.

This was the Primordial World's premier healing elixir, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh and bone; even if one's Primordial Spirit and true soul were shattered, as long as a single trace remained, a drop of Three Lights Divine Water could forcibly drag them back from the Return Ruins.

Leaving such a treasure here would be a complete waste.

With this thought, Tianlu's massive maw parted slightly, and he drew in a sharp, sudden breath.

In an instant, a terrifying spatial storm erupted in the void.

The pool water, swirling with a strange blend of gold, silver, and purple light, transformed into a three-colored water dragon and vanished entirely into Tianlu's giant mouth.

Once finished, Tianlu's ten-thousand-foot-tall body rapidly shrank, returning to his harmless, calf-like appearance.

Afterward, Tianlu returned to the mid-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, Cloud Treasure, lay down, and drifted off to sleep.

Though Tianlu appeared to be sleeping, he was actually refining the Xiantian restrictions of the Twenty-Four Petal Creation Green Lotus.
