The miniature Green Lotus belonging to the Azure Emperor had been a gift from the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King to Meng Chuan, after he saw the Wuzhong Immortal King pass on his Dao legacy.
Back when Meng Chuan met the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King in the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, neither had known the other's true origins.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King had no memories of Meng Chuan either, yet he still gave Meng Chuan a Green Lotus.
Perhaps it was intuition in the unseen, or karma.
There was no need to spell out what the Green Lotus and Little Bell contained. It could hardly have been more obvious.
For Wushi and the Azure Emperor, who had reached the Immortal Apex and were advancing toward the Immortal King Realm, this was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity they could have hoped for.
This was a cheat.
Especially for Wushi.
When the Daos of Wushi and Wuzhong collided and illuminated each other, he advanced at a flying pace.
Wushi's Dao at the Immortal Apex was not much weaker than Wuzhong's Dao at the level of a Peak Immortal King.
Wuzhong Immortal King's old vision had come true.
Wuzhong alone had not been complete. By the same token, neither was Wushi alone.
But now they were complete: Wushi and Wuzhong united in one body.
So although Wushi had spent the least time cultivating after reaching the Immortal Apex in the Emperor's Fall Era, his cultivation was by no means the lowest.
The boost from their union was immense, and it would bring Wushi another surprise when he reached the Immortal King Realm.
He might even overtake the others despite starting later.
The last to arrive in the Emperor's Fall Era, after even Wushi, was naturally Ye Fan.
