Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus

The great battle came to an end. Although an unexpected incident had occurred at the end and East Prince Gong had not been completely exterminated,

East Prince Gong had only a tiny remnant soul left. Even if he could be reborn, he would no longer be able to stir up any trouble.

After Hongjun left, Dijun and Taiyi's expressions both became extremely grim.

They had considered the possibility that Hongjun might intervene.

Yet Hongjun's attitude of completely disregarding them still made the two of them feel deeply uncomfortable.

The two stood up.

"Phew!" Dijun let out a long breath and patted Taiyi on the shoulder.

"Alright. It seemed we made the right bet this time."

"Mm."

Taiyi nodded.

Next came the Demon Race's victory: cleaning up the battlefield and persuading the remnants of the Immortal Court to surrender.

This immediately boosted the Demon Race's strength considerably.

After this battle, the Demon Race also became the greatest force in the Primordial World.

Dijun and Taiyi were ambitious and continued expanding their power. Although the other great powers were wary, East Prince Gong had only just died not long ago. How could they dare obstruct the two at such a time?

One after another, they shut tight their Dao Fields and pretended to be blind and deaf.

Dijun and Taiyi were more than happy with this. Their power grew ever greater, and beneath them were the Ten Great Demon Marshals: Jimeng, Baize, Yingzhao, Feidan, Feilian, Jiuying, Shangyang, Qinyuan, Citie, and Guiche.

These Ten Great Demon Marshals were all Great Luo Golden Immortals as well. They merely had somewhat inferior foundations compared to Dijun and Taiyi.

With the Ten Great Demon Marshals assisting them, the Demon Race's strength was already incomparably formidable.

Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, an unknown amount of time passed.

One day, Minghe was cultivating in the Blood God Palace within the Netherworld Blood Sea when the system's notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! It has been detected that the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus of Buzhou Mountain is about to emerge. The host may make one of the following choices."

"Choice one: Leave seclusion immediately and head to Buzhou Mountain to contend for the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus. Reward: Western Plain Color Cloud Realm Banner."

"Choice two: Continue secluded cultivation and continue cultivating. Reward: Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus."

After hearing the system's notification, Minghe could not help but frown as he sank into thought.

The Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was an existence comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure!

Naturally, Minghe wanted it badly.

But Minghe quickly shook his head and decided to give it up.

There was no helping it. The Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was not easy to obtain—or rather, it was simply impossible to get.

Leaving aside the fact that the Three Pure Ones were currently united, Minghe's strength made it impossible for him to be their opponent.

Moreover, the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was the fated treasure of the Three Pure Ones.

Did Minghe dare defy Heaven now?

It was not that he did not dare. Rather, Minghe simply did not have the qualifications.

System, I choose option two, Minghe silently said to the system in his heart.

As Minghe made his choice, the reward was quickly distributed.

A twelve-grade purple lotus platform. The Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

With a thought, Minghe took out the lotus platform. It floated before him, continuously emitting waves of power where life and death intertwined and endlessly cycled.

This was the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

After the Chaos Green Lotus shattered, a total of six lotus seeds fell into the Primordial World and grew into lotus platforms.

One fully mature seed transformed into the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

It was the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus that was about to emerge at Buzhou Mountain, be divided among the Three Pure Ones, and become their respective Treasures of Attaining Dao.

The remaining five lotus seeds had all been immature, forming five twelve-grade lotus platforms.

They were the Karma Red Lotus, World-Destroying Black Lotus, Merit Golden Lotus, World-Purifying White Lotus, and this Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

After obtaining the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, Minghe now possessed two twelve-grade lotus platforms.

After all, the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus was his accompanying treasure.

Minghe summoned the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus. The two lotus platforms immediately resonated with each other.

That was right. Minghe's first thought upon obtaining the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus was to have his Karma Red Lotus devour it.

After all, both the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus had been transformed from the lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.

They could be said to share the same origin.

Since he already had a Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, there was no need for another twelve-grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

However, just as Minghe was about to merge the two lotus platforms into one, he stopped.

Minghe had realized that although the two lotus platforms shared the same origin and could devour each other to grow stronger,

the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus and the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus had actually already become vastly different.

After all, one was called the Karma Red Lotus, while the other was called the Reincarnation Purple Lotus. This meant that their origins had already developed in different directions.

This also concerned their value.

Through the Karma Red Lotus, Minghe could comprehend many Great Dao laws, such as the Way of Fire, the Way of Karma, the Way of Karmic Force, and so on.

The Reincarnation Purple Lotus, on the other hand, might contain the Way of Reincarnation, the Way of Life and Death, and more.

Both had been lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus that fell into the Primordial World and were nurtured in different environments.

This caused them to share the same origin, yet also possess vastly different fundamental natures.

The only one with a truly pure origin was the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus formed from the mature lotus seed.

Unfortunately, the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus was not fated to be his. Otherwise, he might have been able to comprehend the Path of Creation through it.

"Absorbing one lotus platform would not make my Karma Red Lotus much stronger. In that case, I should keep it for now."

With a thought, Minghe put away the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus again.

Then, waves of magic power surged forth as he began refining the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

Minghe multitasked, refining both the Twelve-Grade Reincarnation Purple Lotus and the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls at the same time.

He even comprehended the Great Dao laws contained within them throughout the process.

Cultivation was dull and tasteless, but only through such day-by-day accumulation and dedicated bitter cultivation could one's cultivation steadily advance.

Minghe did not go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao, yet through his own diligence, he still accumulated his cultivation bit by bit.

Meanwhile, within Buzhou Mountain, the Three Pure Ones sensed that the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus fated to them was about to emerge.

They gathered in a valley, where they discovered the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus in a pool of Three Lights Divine Water.

Yet when facing the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus, the Three Pure Ones were all troubled.

After all, there was only one Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus, while the three brothers numbered three.

How were they supposed to divide it?

Just as the three were at a loss, cracks suddenly appeared across the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus.

As though enlightenment had struck them, the Three Pure Ones suddenly spoke in unison: "Red flower."

"White lotus root."

"Green lotus leaf."

In an instant, the Twenty-Four-Grade Creation Green Lotus split into three parts. Just as the Three Pure Ones had said, they became a red flower, white lotus root, and green lotus leaf.

Then, in the next instant, the three items respectively transformed into a flat crutch, a Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and a Qingping Sword.

They fell respectively into the hands of Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian.
