Could He Be Pangu Reincarnated?

At this moment, Rahu was utterly depressed. He could clearly sense that Chen Xuan's cultivation was inferior to his own, yet he could not muster the will to resist.

"Such a familiar, domineering aura... and it even feels strangely familiar?"

"I remember now. This is the pressure Pangu emitted when he opened the heavens."

"Could he be Pangu reincarnated?"

Once that thought arose in Rahu's mind, he became even less capable of resisting. All he could think of was escaping this place as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly die here today.

The next moment, a black lotus appeared in Rahu's hand, and he continuously poured demonic energy into it.

In the blink of an eye, the black lotus had reached its limit. Looking at the lotus, which was about to burst from the overflowing demonic energy—

Chen Xuan could not help but frown, for he had already recognized what the black lotus was.

"The Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus? Damn, could the guy whose ass I just smacked be the famed Rahu?"

At that thought, the Grand Primordial Measuring Ruler in Chen Xuan's hand also came to a halt.

Seizing this opportunity, Rahu transformed directly into a streak of demonic energy and fled toward Mount Sumeru in the west.

Rahu had escaped, but he had left behind the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. Moreover, it could explode at any moment.

Chen Xuan naturally understood just how terrifying the power of an explosion from a top-grade innate spiritual treasure would be.

Therefore, Chen Xuan's first thought was to leave this troublesome place immediately, lest the explosion of the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus bring disaster upon him for no reason.

Meanwhile, Hongjun, who had already fled a million li away, stopped and opened his Dharma Eye to look in Rahu's direction.

When he saw Rahu fleeing in panic, a mocking expression appeared on his face.

"Fortunately, Rahu took the disaster for me. Otherwise, I, Hongjun, would have been the one getting my ass smacked today."

"But Pangu had clearly transformed himself into the Primordial World. Even his blood essence and primordial spirit had already taken form. How could he possibly be reborn again?"

It turned out that Hongjun had also sensed an intense Pangu aura from Chen Xuan. That was why he had immediately fled a million li away.

At this moment, Chen Xuan had no idea that Hongjun was secretly watching him. Nor did he know that Hongjun and Rahu had already taken him for the reborn Pangu.

Right now, he was staring at the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus before him, which was about to explode, and pondering how to deal with it.

Chen Xuan's original plan was simple: leave this troublesome place. Yet just as he was about to depart, he abandoned that idea.

"Of the seven lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus, the only one that matured became my current true body, the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus."

"The other six grew into the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, the Twelfth-Grade Karmafire Red Lotus, the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, the Twenty-Fourth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and the Twenty-Fourth-Grade Law Blue Lotus."

"My true body is wood-aspected. The Red Lotus is fire-aspected, the Black Lotus is water-aspected, the White Lotus is metal-aspected, the Golden Lotus is earth-aspected, the Purple Lotus is yin-aspected, and the Blue Lotus is yang-aspected."

"Doesn't that mean that if I can devour the other six great lotus platforms, I may be able to return to my ancestral form and become the One-Hundred-and-Eighth-Grade Creation Green Lotus?"

This thought suddenly surfaced in Chen Xuan's mind, and once it appeared, he found himself unable to let it go.

After weighing it over and over, Chen Xuan finally revealed his true body without hesitation—the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus.

The next moment, the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus moved directly toward the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. It floated quietly beneath it and began absorbing the boundless demonic energy it emitted.

As time slowly passed, the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus became increasingly illusory. In the end, it vanished completely, merging into the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus.

Looking again at the Thirty-Six-Rank Fortune Green Lotus, black patterns had appeared across its originally blue-green petals.

While it radiated an aura of creation, it also carried threads of destructive aura, giving others an even stronger sense that strangers should stay away.

After devouring the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, Chen Xuan transformed back into his Daoist human form and nodded with a smile.

"It seems my guess was correct. Devouring the other six great lotus platforms can indeed increase my strength."

"If I remember correctly, the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit should currently be in Hongjun's hands. The Twelfth-Grade Karmafire Red Lotus should be in the hands of Patriarch Minghe of the Netherworld Blood Sea."

"As for the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, the Twenty-Fourth-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and the Twenty-Fourth-Grade Law Blue Lotus, it is not yet time for them to emerge."

"It seems I should visit Hongjun and Patriarch Minghe when I get the chance, and see whether they are willing to part with them."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, but his words made Hongjun's heart tremble from a million li away.

"It would be no good if he set his sights on me. Why not take this opportunity to form a good karmic bond with him?"

With that thought, Hongjun headed toward Chen Xuan. Before long, he arrived in front of him.

Hongjun cupped his hands in greeting and said to Chen Xuan, "This poor Daoist is Hongjun. Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask how I should address you?"

Chen Xuan had not expected that speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive. Hongjun had actually come.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chen Xuan likewise cupped his hands and said, "So it is Fellow Daoist Hongjun. This poor Daoist's Daoist title is Azure Lotus. Fellow Daoist Hongjun may call me Green Lotus Daoist."

Hongjun nodded, then directly took out a golden lotus and spoke with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Azure Lotus, taking form today is an occasion worthy of celebration. Since this poor Daoist happened to encounter you, I must offer a congratulatory gift."

"This is the innate spiritual treasure, the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit. It should share the same origin as Fellow Daoist Azure Lotus's true body. Today, this poor Daoist will offer it to Fellow Daoist Azure Lotus as a gift."

As he spoke, Hongjun had already presented the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit before Chen Xuan.

This sudden development left Chen Xuan somewhat puzzled. After all, he did not believe Hongjun's sudden goodwill could be so simple.

He immediately said to Hongjun, "As the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit. If this poor Daoist accepts Fellow Daoist Hongjun's gift, what must I do for Fellow Daoist Hongjun in return?"

Hongjun had not expected Chen Xuan to be so direct. He simply stopped beating around the bush and said to Chen Xuan on the spot.

"This poor Daoist's lifelong wish is to safeguard this Primordial World and not disappoint the great god Pangu, who transformed himself into the Primordial World back then."

"This poor Daoist hopes that Fellow Daoist Azure Lotus will lend a hand at critical moments and assist this poor Daoist in eliminating those surviving gods and demons who seek to bring calamity upon the Primordial World."
