Lotus Platform, Lotus Seeds, Green Duckweed Sword

Azure Lotus Isle.

"Finally, I've advanced!"

Chen Nianzhi stood on the Lotus Isle Lake, looking at the Creation Azure Jade Lotus path before her.

This Creation Azure Jade Lotus was originally Tier 4 High-Grade Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root. Chen Nianzhi further enhanced its foundation with three strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, and after more than a hundred years, it finally advanced to the Tier 5 realm.

After advancing to the Tier 5, the Creation Azure Jade Lotus shed its three treasures: lotus seedpod, lotus leaf, and lotus seed, and began its next cycle of growth.

The treasures that fall off are all priceless. The lotus seedpod contains the primordial energy and is the key to advancing to the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform.

The lotus leaf contained Heavenly Sword patterns, which transformed into a light blue Spirit Treasure sword, known as the Creation Green Duckweed Sword.

There are nine lotus seeds, each containing astonishing primordial power. Moreover, this substance contains a trace of merit power. If Golden Core realm cultivator consumes it when attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul, it can increase their chances of Nascent Soul by 10%.

Chen Nianzhi put away the Azure Lotus Immortal Sword, then handed the lotus seedpod to Jiang Linglong, saying, "This treasure can help you advance to the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform. Take it and use it to advance your final natal Life-bound Spirit Treasure."

Jiang Linglong shook her head and pushed him back, saying, "Your Heavenly Separation Twin Swords, and even your Mahayana Divine Ability, consume a great deal of Law Power. You should advance to the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform first."

"Moreover, I possess the Nirvana Tribulation-Transference Art, which is far safer than yours. Relatively speaking, you need the Ren-Water Azure Lotus Platform to provide your Law Power more."

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi stopped refusing. He put away the Creation Azure Lotus Platform and then looked at the lotus seed, saying, "With this Azure Lotus Seed, the Old Clan Leader and Lin Qianshu's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul have increased by another ten percent."

Jiang Linglong nodded and said happily, "Although this Azure Lotus Seed is not as good as the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, it can be used together with the Nascent Soul Formation Pill. It truly deserves to be called a rare Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root."

"Moreover, this treasure will allow the Creation Azure Jade Lotus to mature nine Creation Lotus Seeds every three hundred years. It's possible that Ming Wei has a good chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul."

Chen Nianzhi nodded in agreement. Family members know their own situation. Chen Qinghao and Su Mingwei are only at the Low-grade Golden Core. Even with the support of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, their chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul in the future are probably no more than 20%.

With the support of this Creation Azure Lotus Seed, the chances are probably around 30%. Although this probability is far from that of Middle-grade Golden Core, it at least offers some hope.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said, "In the past, True Lord Haoran passed on the Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation to you and me. Although this formation is not very useful to us, it can still increase our chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by 10%."

"Over the years, the Lineage has gathered most of the materials for the Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation; only the most crucial Five-Vein Jade is missing to complete the formation."

"After some time, we'll see if we can find a way to set up the Five-Vein Jade Formation, which would also add to the Lineage's foundation."

When the precious Five-Vein Jade was mentioned, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Lineage has only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Clan, and they are short of money everywhere. They don't even have enough Heavenly Crystal to buy Void Gemstone, so where would they find the extra money to buy Five-Vein Jade?

Jiang Linglong hesitated for a moment, then could only say, "Of the Lineage's Spirit Treasure, let's not even talk about the Sun-Moon Twin Wheels. The Azure Void Cauldron is the Azure Void Sect's heirloom, but it's currently corrupted by demonic energy and can't be used."

"The Star-Moon Pot is Array Instrument from Spirit Isle Lake, the Gilded Heavenward Seal will be used to set up an array on Han Chuan Island in the future, and the Supremacy Sword is planned to be placed in the Lineage's residence in the Ten-Thousand-Li Great Wilderness. None of these can be used."

"The only remaining Spirit Treasure we can sell are the Primordial Void Shield and the Creation Green Duckweed Sword we just acquired."

At this point, she said, "However, I now have four Life-bound Spirit Treasure. The Three-Treasure Glazed Armor and the Golden Rhinoceros Immortal Sword are no longer of much use, so I might as well take them out and exchange them for other treasures."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi frowned and pondered for a moment before finally saying, "The Primordial Void Shield and the Three-Treasure Glazed Armor are both defensive Spirit Treasure, most suitable for overcoming Lightning Tribulation. The Creation Green Duckweed Sword is an even more meritorious spiritual Spirit Treasure kills without incurring karmic Karmic Retribution. It would be a waste to sell them."

After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "We still have over eighty Heavenly Crystal. If we sell the Golden Rhinoceros Sword, we should be able to buy two or three Tier 5 Void Gemstone."

"Let's wait until we acquire the Heavenly Crystal and set up Teleportation Array arrays for the Vast Sea and the Chen Kingdom before considering the Five-Vein Jade and the others."

"That's the only way." Jiang Linglong nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's go find Gu Hongzi first and purchase the Heavenly Crystal."

"..."

Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong left Ji Continent, took Teleportation Array to the Azure Luan Continent, and then rode their flying swords to the Heavenly Praise Continent.

Heavenly Praise Continent Heavenly Praise Continent located deep within the Three Vein Ancient Region, separated from the Azure Luan Continent by four continents. It took the two of them a full month to fly there.

"Is this Heavenly Praise Continent?"

After arriving at the Heavenly Praise Continent, Chen Nianzhi found a Purple Mansion cultivator and asked him questions. Through the cultivator's trembling answers, he learned the whereabouts of Gu Hongzi.

Heavenly Praise Continent is a well-known continent of Rogue Cultivator. It is said that it was occupied by Nascent Soul Heavenly Praise Sect, a thousand years ago.

Heavenly Praise Sect acted domineeringly, occupying almost 90% of the Heavenly Praise Continent's resources internally, but when facing the neighboring Demon Emperor, he always cherished his reputation and was unwilling to exert himself.

At that time, the various immortal clans and Rogue Cultivator of the Heavenly Praise Continent suffered greatly until Gu Hongzi rose to prominence and broke through to the Nascent Soul, eventually destroying the Heavenly Praise Sect in a single battle.

After destroying Heavenly Praise Continent, Gu Hongzi not only did not establish any sects or immortal clans, but also did not change the name of the continent, keeping it as Heavenly Praise Continent. He simply occupied the Heavenly Praise Sect's training grounds and renamed them Lone Goose Mountain.

After learning about Gu Hongzhou's style, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said to Jiang Linglong, "I didn't expect that Heavenly Praise Sect would have some of the style of the Azure Sun Sect."

"Those who reap all the benefits but not all the responsibilities naturally need to be replaced."

Jiang Linglong shook her head, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

The two said no more and simply rode their immortal swords toward Lonely Lone Goose Mountain Lone Goose Mountain, arriving there in just three months.

As they approached Lone Goose Mountain, the cultivators responsible for receiving them at the mountain gate, with their Bu Fan eyesight, immediately noticed the extraordinary bearing of the two and bowed respectfully, saying, "Seniors, please wait. May I ask what brings you to Lone Goose Mountain?"

"We have come here to see Fellow Gu Hongzi. Please deliver this letter on our behalf."

Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly and handed over the letter of introduction from the Second Elder of the Ji Clan.

The man glanced at it briefly, then quickly bowed and said, "Please wait a moment at Guest-Welcoming Peak, gentlemen. I'll be right back."

As the cultivator spoke, he turned and flew into Lone Goose Mountain. Soon after, he emerged alone.

The newcomer, dressed in a purple robe, was tall and imposing. Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi and the other person, he smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "I wondered which esteemed expert had come here, but I never expected it to be the Guixu Sword Immortal and Sky Ruins Fairy are famous throughout the Hundred Continents."

"It is truly an honor for this old man to have both of you grace my Lone Goose Mountain with your presence."
