Twelve-Petal World-Cleansing White Lotus, Creation Jade Disc Fragment

Primordial World.

Kong Xuan wandered through the depths of Penglai Immortal Island, his divine sense spreading like a net as he searched meticulously.

The immortal island brimmed with spiritual energy, exotic flowers and rare herbs carpeting the land, yet none of them caught his eye.

Time drifted by.

Kong Xuan arrived at a secluded valley shrouded in clouds and mist. Its entrance appeared utterly ordinary.

Only the mountain wind whistled through the cracks, yet his steps abruptly halted. A flash of seven-colored light passed through his eyes as he keenly caught an abnormal ripple in the void.

It was exceedingly faint, yet resilient.

That was the unique rhythm of innate array patterns, resonating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Had his divine sense not been so refined, and had he not controlled the island's origin, he would have found it nearly impossible to detect.

"Found it!"

Kong Xuan murmured, the corner of his lips curving upward.

This place was hidden far more deeply than the Five-Needle Pine had been.

He hovered in midair, his gaze piercing through the hazy mist and locking onto an inconspicuous stone wall within the valley.

The stone wall was smooth, its natural patterns faintly forming an enigmatic design. It blended seamlessly with the mountain and earth veins—it was precisely the entrance to an innate array.

"Another innate grand array... What sort of treasure will it be this time?"

Anticipation rose within Kong Xuan. Penglai Immortal Island truly lived up to its name. Without further hesitation, the seven divine feathers behind him blazed with radiance.

Azure, crimson, yellow, white, black, yin, yang!

Seven streams of origin divine light shot into the sky, without the slightest hint of probing.

Carrying the tyrannical Dao rhythm of brushing away all things and annihilating ten thousand techniques, they crashed fiercely toward the stone wall.

"Break!"

Rumble—!

The torrent of divine light struck the invisible array wall, and a blinding radiance erupted instantly.

Violent energy swept through the valley, sending the clouds and mist boiling and churning.

The Dao patterns on the stone wall flickered madly, brightening and dimming without rest.

The entire innate array shook violently, letting out a groan as though it could no longer bear the strain.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the barrier of light.

Kong Xuan's eyes were as sharp as lightning. He poured in his mana without restraint, and the might of the Seven-Colored Divine Light surged again.

He intended to tear apart this barrier in one vigorous push.

The barrier could endure no longer and shattered with a thunderous crash.

Countless fragments of laws scattered in every direction, melting into the earth veins.

When the dust settled,

Kong Xuan's gaze burned like a torch as it pierced the dispersing spiritual mist and looked into the array.

At a single glance, his heart and mind shook violently, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

At the heart of the array was not the spiritual root or ore he had expected.

Instead, there lay a vast pool of crystalline liquid, flowing with the wondrous three-colored light of sun, moon, and stars.

Above the liquid, a soft, sacred white glow quietly bloomed, supporting a slowly revolving twelve-petal lotus platform.

The lotus platform was flawless from end to end, pure as snow.

Every petal seemed condensed from the purest power of light and purification.

It radiated a supreme Dao rhythm capable of cleansing the soul and suppressing evil.

"Three Lights Divine Water, and... the Twelve-Petal World-Cleansing White Lotus?!"

Even with Kong Xuan's steadfast Dao heart, he could not help crying out in shock.

This was a supreme defensive treasure, something exceedingly difficult to find in the Primordial World.

After the wild ecstasy came an enormous doubt, surging into his heart like a rising tide.

Kong Xuan furrowed his brow as he stared at the World-Cleansing White Lotus.

"Dongwang Gong obtained Penglai Immortal Island... Yet in the future, he was besieged by the Demon Race army and perished, his Dao vanishing with him..."

"Then why had this World-Cleansing White Lotus never emerged to protect its master?"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with confusion.

"Why did it appear only when I occupied Penglai?"

This defied reason, and Kong Xuan fell into deep thought.

His divine sense swept repeatedly across the lotus platform and the Three Lights Divine Water, confirming that they were no illusion.

"Could it be... because of me?"

He recalled that he was a transmigrator. Generally speaking, people like him were anomalies.

"Yes... I do not belong to this world. I am the greatest variable!"

"My arrival is like a massive boulder cast into the river of the Primordial World, stirring up what was once fated..."

"Opportunities and karmic ties have changed because of me!"

This speculation was like a bolt of lightning splitting apart the fog.

Though he had no proof, it vaguely aligned with the heavenly secrets. His thoughts cleared, and Kong Xuan no longer dwelled on it.

With opportunity before him, how could he let it slip away?

He took one step to the lotus platform and sat down cross-legged. Behind him, the Seven-Colored Divine Light circulated to shield his body, while boundless divine sense and pure mana flowed endlessly into the World-Cleansing White Lotus like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

He began refining the innate restrictions of this top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

On Penglai Immortal Island, time seemed to lose all measure.

Only the World-Cleansing White Lotus remained, its sacred radiance growing ever more brilliant under the nourishment of Kong Xuan's mana.

Upon its petals, enigmatic innate Dao patterns lit up one after another before slowly fading away.

A thousand long years passed in the blink of an eye.

Kong Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Divine light lay hidden within them, lending them an added depth.

With a thought from him—

Buzz!

The World-Cleansing White Lotus let out a clear hum, transforming into a streak of light that entered the ancestral aperture between his brows.

At this point, he had already refined more than half of the innate restrictions of the Twelve-Petal World-Cleansing White Lotus.

Though he had not completely mastered it, he could already wield a portion of its power.

Wherever his thoughts reached, the white lotus would protect his body, leaving ten thousand techniques unable to harm him.

Kong Xuan then turned his gaze toward that vast pool of priceless Three Lights Divine Water.

Sunlight Divine Water wore away blood essence, flesh, and bones.

Moonlight Divine Water corroded the Primordial Spirit and soul.

Starlight Divine Water devoured and dissolved true spirits and consciousness.

Yet when all three became one, they formed the foremost sacred healing medicine of the Primordial World.

"Who in the Primordial World does not know of such a divine treasure?"

Kong Xuan raised a hand and waved.

The Seven-Colored Divine Light transformed into a gentle silken stream, sweeping up the pool of Three Lights Divine Water. The divine water offered no resistance, flowing like a tame creek as it was stored deep within the Seven-Colored Space.

"If I suffer grievous injuries in the future, this will be my lifeline."

Having done all this, Kong Xuan did not stop. He had taken control of Penglai, but its opportunities had yet to run dry.

He turned around and spread out his divine sense once more, continuing his search deeper into the immortal island.

Very soon,

Beneath an inconspicuous cliff,

Kong Xuan once again sensed a familiar array fluctuation. It was more concealed and more ancient than the array that had hidden the World-Cleansing White Lotus.

"There's more?"

Kong Xuan's spirits rose. The Seven-Colored Divine Light swept out without hesitation, and the array broke at once. There was no earth-shaking spectacle—only a haze of chaotic aura spreading outward.

At the center of the array,

A fragment neither metal nor jade, chaotic in color and chipped around the edges, hovered quietly in the air.

Upon its surface, countless incomparably fine Dao patterns flowed, formed, and vanished.

It emitted a supreme Dao rhythm that encompassed all phenomena and explained all techniques.

It was as though it were a miniature source of every law between heaven and earth.

Kong Xuan's pupils abruptly shrank to needlepoints. Shock from the depths of his soul seized him, even halting his breath.

"This... this is..."

He could scarcely believe his own eyes.

The aura emitted by that fragment perfectly matched the descriptions in both his inherited memories and memories of his previous life.

"Creation Jade Disc Fragment?!"

He stepped forward and carefully held the fragment in his palm. It felt warm and smooth to the touch.

In an instant, the fragment violently trembled!

Buzz!

A vast and majestic torrent of Great Dao laws poured madly into Kong Xuan's sea of consciousness like a celestial river bursting through a dam.

Five completely different yet equally fundamental true meanings of the Great Dao appeared with a thunderous surge.

Dao of Ultimate Yang.

Fiery and tyrannical, it burned through the eight desolations. Like the great sun of the Primordial World hanging over his soul, it brought boundless light and destruction.

Emperor's Dao.

Majestic and commanding, it swallowed the universe whole. It was like an emperor of the nine heavens looking down upon all living beings, carrying a supreme will to grant life or death.

Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Turning and generating, evolving all things. Black and white qi entwined and revolved, expounding the universe's most fundamental opposition and unity.

Five Elements Great Dao.

Mutual generation and restraint, endless circulation, bearing all things. The five-colored wheels of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth revolved without cease, forming the world's most stable foundation.

Sword Dao.

Sharp and peerless, it severed karma. Unmatched sword intent crisscrossed and cleaved through all things, as though it could split open chaos and reset earth, fire, water, and wind.
