Pangu created the heavens and the earth, shattering the World-Creating Azure Lotus that had nurtured him.

The shattered World-Creating Azure Lotus, following the great trend of the Great Desolate, transformed into several Top-Grade Innate Treasures.

One of the lotus seeds fell on Mount Buzhou. Nourished by the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the ancestral source of earth, and the Three Lights Divine Water, it took root and sprouted, growing into a lotus platform.

On this day, the lotus platform glowed with azure light, and its flowers bloomed into thirty-six petals, becoming the famous Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

With the birth of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus, the mighty beings between heaven and earth were naturally alerted.

The first to sense the birth of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus were naturally the great god Fuxi and Goddess Nvwa from Mount Buzhou.

At the same time, three streams of clear light flew from the direction of Kunlun Mountain. These were the Three Pure Ones, the orthodox lineage of Pangu, who had arrived.

Immediately after, two streams of golden light flew from the west. These were Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti from the west.

Before Daoist Zhunti even arrived, he laughed and said,

"This Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus is fated with my west.

Today, this poor Daoist has specially come to guide it to cultivate with me in the west."

Tongtian couldn't help but snort coldly, "Junior Brother Zhunti, just how thick is your face? This is clearly a treasure of my east. When did it become fated with your west?"

Daoist Zhunti completely ignored what Tongtian said and directly swept his Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree towards the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

Tongtian naturally wouldn't just watch Daoist Zhunti steal the treasure. He immediately revealed his own magic treasures and blocked the Seven Treasure Wonderful Tree.

At this moment, what no one noticed was that beneath this Thirty-Sixth Grade Green Lotus, hidden within the Three Lights Divine Water, was a small banner emitting a mysterious light. It was the Northern Profound Origin Water Control Banner, one of the Five Directional Innate Banners.

"These are the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West. If they discover me, will they obliterate me? Isn't my life, Chen Xuan's, too bitter?"

This voice came from within the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, but it wasn't that the Profound Origin Water Control Banner had developed sentience.

Rather, it was a soul from a later generation that had merged with the Profound Origin Water Control Banner by chance.

After countless years of slumber, Chen Xuan had just recently awakened.

He had barely managed to figure out his situation when he encountered the birth of this Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

Originally, Chen Xuan had planned to develop discreetly, but now, even if he wanted to hide and seek peace, it was probably too late.

Just as Chen Xuan was thinking about how to escape his predicament, a thunderbolt suddenly struck from the sky, directly hitting the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

It turned out that the Heavenly Dao did not allow the existence of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus and had sent down a tribulation lightning to destroy it.

Taking this opportunity, Grand Supreme Laozi waved his hand at the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus in front of him.

And he spoke, saying, "Red flower."

Immediately, the flowers of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus transformed into the Coiled Dragon Crutch and flew into Grand Supreme Laozi's hand.

Immediately after, Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke, saying, "Lotus root." The lotus root then transformed into the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and flew into Yuanshi Tianzun's hand.

Tongtian naturally didn't delay either. He immediately called out "Green leaf." The green leaf instantly transformed into a Qingping Sword and flew directly into Tongtian's hand.

Seeing the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus being divided among the Three Pure Ones in the blink of an eye, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti couldn't help but be filled with rage.

At this moment, Goddess Nvwa stepped forward and reached out to collect the Nine Heavens Breath Soil that had nurtured the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus.

As the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus was taken by the Three Pure Ones and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil became an item in Goddess Nvwa's possession,

Daoist Zhunti's gaze fell upon the Three Lights Divine Water. However, before he could make a move, the Three Lights Divine Water disappeared.

It turned out to have been completely absorbed by the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, which Chen Xuan had merged with.

This left the Profound Origin Water Control Banner with nowhere to hide, and it appeared directly before everyone.

This couldn't help but bring a look of joy to Daoist Zhunti's face. He immediately spoke, saying, "The Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus went to the three senior brothers.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil went to Senior Sister Nvwa. Then this little banner, this poor Daoist will not be polite."

After speaking, he reached out to grab it directly. The Profound Origin Water Control Banner immediately dodged to the side. And it spoke in human language, saying, "Stay away from me, I don't want to be a monk."

The Profound Origin Water Control Banner spoke, which couldn't help but greatly surprise everyone present.

The Three Pure Ones, who were originally prepared to turn a blind eye, were now not planning to give the Profound Origin Water Control Banner to the two from the West.

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately threw out the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, directly blocking Daoist Zhunti.

Laozi also raised his Coiled Dragon Crutch, blocking Daoist Jieyin, who was about to step forward.

"Two junior brothers, don't be anxious. This Profound Origin Water Control Banner already has sentience, so it's not something that just anyone can take away."

"Senior Brother Laozi, what do you mean by that? Are you perhaps planning to make us two brothers come here for nothing?" Daoist Jieyin said with a bitter expression.

"Whether you came for nothing or not has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I won't go and be a monk with you," Chen Xuan muttered softly there.

At the same time, he locked his gaze on Goddess Nvwa. If he had to be taken away by someone, Chen Xuan was willing to choose Goddess Nvwa.

Seeing that the Profound Origin Water Control Banner was actually coming towards her, Goddess Nvwa's face couldn't help but show a smile.

Just as she was about to reach out to grab it, the great god Fuxi, who was beside Goddess Nvwa, stopped her.

"Sister, no."

Goddess Nvwa naturally understood the meaning of Fuxi's words. If she were to take the Profound Origin Water Control Banner now, she would inevitably make enemies of the Three Pure Ones and the two from the West.

So she could only look at the Profound Origin Water Control Banner with a reluctant expression, which made Chen Xuan extremely anxious.

He immediately prepared to speak and express his choice. But at this moment, the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

It was precisely because the Innate Spiritual Treasure had developed sentience, which was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. It was preparing to send down heavenly lightning to blast it into dust.

Originally, with the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus, as well as the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water as cover, Chen Xuan's aura had not been discovered by the Heavenly Dao.

Now that the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the Three Lights Divine Water, and the Thirty-Sixth Grade Creation Green Lotus were all gone, Chen Xuan's trouble also arrived.

Seeing that the heavenly tribulation gathering in the sky was slowly turning into Heavenly Punishment, Goddess Nvwa couldn't help but feel a sense of surviving a disaster, and she looked gratefully at the great god Fuxi beside her.

If Goddess Nvwa had taken the Profound Origin Water Control Banner into her hand just now, this karma would have been formed.

Even if Goddess Nvwa was unwilling at that time, she would still fight to the death to block this Heavenly Punishment for Chen Xuan.

Now, whether it was the Three Pure Ones or the two brothers from the West, their cultivation was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As for Goddess Nvwa, she was the one with the lowest cultivation among everyone. Trying to resist the Heavenly Punishment alone was tantamount to seeking her own demise.

Chen Xuan, inside the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, naturally also felt his crisis approaching.

But with only a trace of spiritual intelligence as he currently possessed, how could he possibly have the ability to resist the Heavenly Punishment?

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun had already retreated to the side and spoke to Daoist Zhunti, saying, "Junior Brother Zhunti, since you feel that this Profound Origin Water Control Banner is fated with your West, why don't you step forward and take him to the West?"

Daoist Zhunti's face was ashen at this time, and he glared fiercely at Yuanshi Tianzun.

If he were to take this Profound Origin Water Control Banner now, wouldn't he be bringing this boundless karma to the West?

He immediately let out a cold snort and said, "Didn't Senior Brother Tongtian just say that a treasure of the East could not possibly be fated with the West?"
