Within the cavern, three-colored radiance shone brilliantly, wondrous beyond measure!
At the center of the cavern stood a pool one mu across and one zhang deep!
The pool brimmed with divine water!
The golden water was Sunlight Divine Water, capable of wearing away flesh and blood!
The silver water was Moonlight Divine Water, capable of corroding the Primordial Spirit!
The purple water was Starlight Divine Water, capable of devouring and dissolving the True Spirit!
Three Lights Divine Water!!
It was known as the supreme water-attributed treasure of the Primordial World!
When the three waters became one, they could cure all poisons and regrow flesh upon white bones!!
It was also incomparably effective upon spiritual roots!
When Nuwa created humanity, one of the materials she used was this Three Lights Divine Water.
Even in ancient times, it had been incomparably precious.
Now, it had all but vanished from the Primordial World.
Only Daoist Cihang's White Jade Purity Vase of the Clarifying Sect
could condense a single drop every few tens of thousands of years.
Yet the Three Lights Divine Water before Jiang Yun
was a full zhang deep and a mu wide.
There were no fewer than tens of thousands of drops.
Even a quasi-sage would be unable to hide their shock upon seeing such a treasure.
However!
Compared to the treasure above the pool, this Three Lights Divine Water was nothing worth mentioning.
Above the pool of Three Lights Divine Water, a swirling purple lotus platform floated in the air!
Ten thousand rays of rosy light! A thousand strands of auspicious splendor!
An unfathomable aura of Reincarnation spread forth!
"The Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus!!"
Back in the Chaos, Pangu had been born with two supreme treasures: the Heaven-Opening Axe and the Thirty-Six-Grade Chaos Green Lotus.
Later, when the heavens were opened, both treasures shattered and scattered throughout heaven and earth.
This was the source of most Xiantian Spiritual Treasures in the present Three Realms.
Some fragments of the Thirty-Six-Grade Chaos Green Lotus had evolved into six twelve-grade lotus platforms.
The highest-grade among them was the Creation Green Lotus, ranked as a Xiantian Supreme Treasure.
Later, under the guidance of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, it split into three.
It became the Three Pure Ones' treasures for attaining the Dao: the Coiling Dragon Staff, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Green Duckweed Sword.
Thus came the saying, "Red flower, white lotus, green leaf—the three teachings were originally one family."
The remaining five lotus platforms were all Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasures.
The Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus had once been wielded by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. After the Demon Ancestor self-destructed, it vanished without a trace!
The Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus had been obtained by Jieyin and used to suppress the Western Sect's Fortune when it was founded.
The Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus was Ancestor Minghe's accompanying spiritual treasure!
The final two, the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Twelve-Grade Purifying White Lotus, existed only in the innate inheritances of great Primordial World powers.
Neither had ever appeared in the world, yet one had appeared here today.
Beside the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus was a clump of bright yellow gas.
It appeared extraordinarily substantial!
Mysterious Yellow Qi!
A supreme treasure that could only be born at the beginning of creation, born alongside heaven and earth—profound and mysterious, impossible to describe.
Most of it had combined with a portion of Genesis Merit to form two Houtian Merit Supreme Treasures.
The Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler, which specialized in slaughter, and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, which specialized in defense!
The former could release Chaos Sword Qi, with unmatched power.
The latter had fallen into Taiqing Laozi's hands and was said to render one invincible once suspended above one's head, demonstrating its extraordinary grade.
Even saints would inevitably covet and fight over these two great treasures.
"No!"
Just as Jiang Yun prepared to collect them, he suddenly came to his senses!
"The Karma is too great!"
"If either of these treasures appears in the world, even saints will be unable to resist scheming over them!!"
"Once the heavenly secrets are exposed, I will surely die without any chance of survival!!"
Jiang Yun made his decision at once. His mana surged as he used earth and stone to construct a crude altar within the cavern.
He lit three sticks of incense, his expression solemn to the extreme!
Facing the altar, he respectfully bowed three times!
"Shangqing Tongtian, Patriarch-Master above!"
"Jiang Yun, a third-generation disciple of the Interception Sect, has today fortuitously obtained an opportunity left behind by the great god Pangu. The Karma involved is immense!"
"It concerns the future rise and fall of my Interception Sect!"
"This disciple's disciple begs Patriarch-Master to act and disrupt the heavenly secrets here!!"
In the Primordial World, the bond between master and disciple was even closer than that between ordinary fathers and sons.
Though Jiang Yun was a third-generation disciple and separated from Tongtian by one generation, aside from Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, he was the only third-generation disciple of the Interception Sect personally acknowledged by Tongtian.
He shared in the Interception Sect's Fortune!
It could be said that they prospered together and suffered together.
Saints stood high above all, treating all living beings as their children as they laid out their schemes across the Primordial World!
Therefore, it made no difference whether the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus was in Jiang Yun's hands or Tongtian's hands. It was part of the Interception Sect's foundation, a treasure capable of increasing the Interception Sect's Fortune.
Even setting aside matters of interest, Lord Tongtian of Shangqing was proud and unyielding. He would never stoop to demanding a treasure from his disciple's disciple.
"Good!"
A moment later, the word "Good" sounded in Jiang Yun's mind.
In an instant!
The heavenly secrets atop Mount Buzhou became completely chaotic!
All traces were concealed.
Even if the other saints acted, they would never be able to deduce the slightest thing!
"Thank you, Patriarch-Master!!"
With a saint concealing the matter, Jiang Yun no longer had any worries!
He swept his sleeve!
He collected the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Mysterious Yellow Qi in their entirety!
He then took twenty drops of Three Lights Divine Water and sprinkled them respectively upon the Banana Tree and the Primordial Essence Fruit Tree within the Mountain River Pearl!
Buzz—!
The two spiritual roots instantly erupted with dazzling divine light!
The Banana Tree directly bore four more Banana Leaf Fans, each a High-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure!
The intelligence of the Primordial Essence Fruit Tree also condensed at an accelerated pace. It now resembled a youth of around ten years old and was not far from taking form!
After doing all this and seeing that no treasures remained in the cavern, Jiang Yun finally departed!
The instant Jiang Yun stepped out of the cave!
The cavern behind him silently vanished, turning into an ordinary stone wall as though it had never existed!
Seeing this, Jiang Yun deeply bowed once more toward Mount Buzhou!
"Jiang Yun, a living being of later generations, has received Pangu's opportunity today and has no way to repay it!"
"If the chance arises in the future, I will surely aid the great god's descendants!!"
Azure Roaming Palace
"What great fortune! What magnificent providence!"
Lord Tongtian's face revealed delight. Even with his status as a saint, he could not help voicing his admiration.
The Interception Sect had countless disciples, with ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage.
Yet the only ones who truly caught Tongtian's eye were those few personal disciples.
Even Zhao Gongming was merely the chief outer disciple.
The first time Jiang Yun entered Tongtian's notice was when he assisted Holy Mother of Fire Spirit.
He had displayed extraordinary temperament and skill in battle.
That made Tongtian acknowledge Jiang Yun as a future pillar among the Interception Sect's third-generation disciples.
Yet how much time had passed since then?
A saint's Primordial Spirit merged with the Heavenly Dao. Unless a saint of the same rank deliberately disrupted the heavenly secrets, ordinary matters could be understood at a glance with the slightest calculation.
Opportunities came one after another!
Not only had his strength already surpassed Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, the senior third-generation disciple, but this time he had given Tongtian an enormous surprise.
Had Tongtian not personally calculated that Jiang Yun truly had transformed from a stubborn stone, he would have suspected that Jiang Yun was the reincarnation of some ancient monster.
The Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus!
It possessed Reincarnation Authority!
Ever since Houtu transformed herself into Reincarnation,
who among the beings of the Primordial World did not understand the importance of Reincarnation? And which of the six saints did not wish to seize its benefits?
The Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus was a treasure for which the saints had repeatedly calculated the heavenly secrets.
Yet they had always found nothing.
Who would have thought that it would ultimately fall into Jiang Yun's hands.
