Pure World White Lotus

Yellow Dragon drew the merit cloud into his Primordial Spirit. In an instant, he felt the Great Dao laws between heaven and earth become incomparably clear, as though he had once been wrapped in something that had kept him from seeing the world's true face.

Yellow Dragon hurriedly examined the merit cloud he had just absorbed. Less than one-tenth remained. There was no need to think further—nine-tenths of it had been used by the Heavenly Dao to offset the karmic sin burden he carried as part of the Dragon Clan.

Yellow Dragon could only accept it with a bitter smile. He had worked himself to the bone for a hundred thousand years, only to finally pay off the debt he owed as a member of the Dragon Clan.

From this, one could infer that the entire Dragon Clan still bore an oceanic amount of karmic sin burden. Perhaps even after countless kalpas, when the primordial world shattered, they would still not have repaid it all.

"Good thing there's still a little left." Yellow Dragon looked at the remaining merit within his Primordial Spirit.

Though less than a tenth remained, it was still merit to guard his person, granting him the Heavenly Dao's protection.

He could now roam the primordial world.

Just as Yellow Dragon was imagining his travels through the primordial world, wondering whether he should visit Kunlun or Mount Buzhou first—

A sudden throb stirred in his heart, as if something had formed a faint resonance with him. Yellow Dragon immediately calmed his mind and focused his spirit, sensing it carefully. His Primordial Spirit abruptly spread outward, probing the surroundings.

After a moment, Yellow Dragon finally found the source of that faint stirring: beneath the main peak of Penglai Immortal Island. Something there seemed to be drawing him toward it.

Following the resonance, Yellow Dragon tunneled downward along the earth vein beneath Penglai Immortal Island's main peak. After a long while, he reached the deepest part of the earth vein. There, within the perception of his Primordial Spirit, stood an immortal lotus rooted atop the earth vein, its faint white spiritual radiance propping up a space several dozen zhang wide.

The moment he entered the space supported by the immortal lotus, he felt an immaculate aura pervading the air—quiet, serene, and peaceful.

Looking at the immortal lotus before him, Yellow Dragon carefully inspected the area. Once he confirmed that there was no danger, he extended his Primordial Spirit and gently probed the lotus.

There was no obstruction whatsoever. Yellow Dragon's Primordial Spirit entered the immortal lotus's origin and left behind his mark.

At the same time, a piece of information appeared within Yellow Dragon's Primordial Spirit, and he came to understand the lotus's origin. This immortal lotus was actually the legendary Pure World White Lotus.

The Pure World White Lotus had originally been born on Penglai Immortal Island and obtained by Eastern Duke. After the battle between the Celestial Court and the Demon Race, Eastern Duke perished and the Celestial Court was destroyed. The Pure World White Lotus was also shattered by the Chaos Bell into two pieces, one large and one small, before vanishing into the turbulent currents of space.

The Pure World White Lotus possessed extraordinarily lofty origins and could conceal heavenly secrets. Furthermore, it had already fallen from the twelve grades, so innate sacred beings such as Di Jun and Taiyi had not expended great effort searching for it.

Yellow Dragon stood before the Pure World White Lotus, looking at this immortal lotus that had only nine grades left. The Pure World White Lotus, Creation Azure Lotus, Karma Fire Red Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus—which had vanished into the hands of the Devil Ancestor—had all been born from the lotus seeds of the Chaos Azure Lotus, fused with the creation brought forth by the opening of heaven.

Yet in the legends, the fates of these five immortal lotuses did not seem to have been particularly good.

The Creation Azure Lotus was born upon Mount Buzhou, the primordial world's foremost divine mountain. Its flower bloomed to twenty-four grades and was obtained by the Three Pure Ones, whereupon it transformed into three supreme-grade innate spirit treasures: Laozi's Coiling Dragon Cane, Yuanshi's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and Tongtian's Green Duckweed Sword.

The twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus vanished without a trace during the great battle between the Devil Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, never to appear in the world again.

The Merit Golden Lotus had three grades sucked away by Mosquito Daoist, an innate being born from the Blood Sea, during the Investiture of the Gods. Only nine grades remained, and it never recovered afterward.

The Karma Fire Red Lotus was in the best condition. It had remained in Styx Ancestor's hands all along and had never been damaged.

Yet the information within this Pure World White Lotus showed that the nine-grade Pure World White Lotus, having fallen in rank, should have dispersed its Great Dao origin over the long river of time within the earth veins of Penglai Immortal Island, reconnecting the earth veins, purifying the island's Sha Qi and foul aura, and remaking the immortal island.

The immortal lotus possessed spirit. Penglai Immortal Island had nurtured the Pure World White Lotus, while the Pure World White Lotus dispersed its origin in return, repaying Penglai Immortal Island.

That was also why Penglai Immortal Island could become a sacred land for Rogue Cultivators in later generations.

But because of Yellow Dragon's arrival, he had reconnected the earth veins, cleared away the Sha Qi and foul aura, and planted countless innate flora, restoring Penglai Immortal Island's vitality. The immortal lotus no longer needed to disperse its origin to remake the island. The fate decreed for the Pure World White Lotus changed, giving it a sliver of life.

Thus, after Yellow Dragon restored the vitality of the entire island, their entwined karma prompted the Pure World White Lotus to take the initiative and send out a faint resonance, guiding Yellow Dragon here and allowing him to easily leave his mark upon its origin.

After collecting the Pure World White Lotus, Yellow Dragon followed the path by which he had arrived and returned to the main peak of Penglai Immortal Island. He carved out a simple cave dwelling on the peak, then dug a lotus pond and planted the nine-grade Pure World White Lotus within it. At the same time, he cast the Spirit Rain Art to nourish the lotus.

Although the rain condensed by Yellow Dragon's Spirit Rain Art contained rich spiritual qi and life force, it could only slow the speed at which the Pure World White Lotus's origin was dissipating. It could not completely restore the lotus, whose origin had begun to collapse.

Watching wisps of origin disperse from the Pure World White Lotus, Yellow Dragon painfully took out the creation origin he had saved earlier. After some thought, he took half a drop and infused it into the Pure World White Lotus, then put the remaining drop away again.

As that half-drop of creation origin was absorbed by the Pure World White Lotus, the lotus's slowly escaping origin abruptly stopped dissipating. However, it merely remained on the brink of falling another grade.

Seeing that the Pure World White Lotus's origin had stabilized and that it had begun rapidly devouring the spiritual liquid within the lotus pond, Yellow Dragon could only increase the frequency with which he cast the Sweet Dew Art.

The Pure World White Lotus's origin had only just stopped dispersing and needed to absorb a vast amount of spiritual qi to recover. The sweet dew, rich in spiritual qi and life force, was absorbed the instant it touched the nine-grade Pure World White Lotus. Yellow Dragon continued until his mana was exhausted, then finally stopped and sat down to meditate, restoring his mana.

He looked again at the Pure World White Lotus in the pond.

Having absorbed a great amount of spiritual liquid, the white lotus's spiritual essence gradually began to rise. Its entire body became even more sacred and pure white, while the Dao charm of purification spread through the surroundings.

Several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The Pure World White Lotus's origin finally stabilized at the ninth grade. As for recovering to its original twelve grades, that was basically impossible.

"The twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus of the Western Sect's two Saints had three grades sucked away by Mosquito Daoist, an innate being born from the Blood Sea. It never recovered afterward—not even Saints could do anything about it."

"A dragon must learn to be content."

In repairing Penglai Immortal Island, he had gained not only the merit rewarded by the Heavenly Dao, but also the nine-grade Pure World White Lotus, comparable to a high-grade innate spirit treasure. It could be said that blessings had come one after another.

He stored away the immortal lotus together with the lotus pond, then took out a drop of creation origin and dripped it into Penglai Immortal Island's earth veins. Vast earth-vein power began to gather and grow without end. Within the range covered by the earth veins, tiny spiritual veins began to be born amid one mountain range after another.

Before leaving Penglai Immortal Island, he cast the Sweet Dew Art one final time, nourishing the entire island anew. He made sure that the newly born spiritual veins across the island began to draw in and exhale innate spiritual qi, slowly raising Penglai Immortal Island's spiritual essence.

Having done all this, he immediately revealed his thousand-zhang dragon body and plunged into the sea.
