Lotus-root incarnation, lotus fairy

Half an hour later, in Yunxiao's small courtyard.

Hanzhi cautiously hid behind Yunxiao, peeking out to observe the Wu Di.

From the bewildered and curious look in the other person's eyes, Wu Di could tell that the other person was indeed a Innate Deity who had not yet been born.

"It conceived a primordial spirit even before it was officially born..."

"The Innate Deity are indeed a group blessed with extraordinary advantages, truly an enviable group!"

Thanks to the protection of the Yunxiao, Hanzhi's still-developing Primordial Spirit was able to move freely without fear of sunlight.

"It is indeed blessed with unique advantages, but hasn't it also attracted people with ulterior motives like you?"

Watching Yunxiao leisurely sipping his tea, Wu Di utterly embarrassed and ashamed.

"I'm not lying to you, I really didn't know before that the Elixir of Immortality had transformed into Innate Deity."

"I don't deny that we, the Six Witches of Kaiming, used any means necessary to obtain the Elixir of Immortality, but we weren't arrogant enough to challenge the rules set by the Dao Ancestor." Regardless of whether Yunxiao believed him or not, Wu Di continued to explain.

"Since the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool Dao Proving enlightenment, we have cultivated our own Elixir of Immortality."

"Although our Elixir of Immortality is not yet complete and has many flaws, it is Elixir of Immortality that belongs only to us."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao asked a question in return, neither confirming nor denying it.

"If that's the case, then why are you still searching for a new Elixir of Immortality?"

Although Yunxiao had never left Penglai Island, he was well aware of the greed in human nature.

Having something doesn't mean we won't continue to plunder; it's human nature.

"Because we want to continue improving our Elixir of Immortality, we need more benchmarks to reference."

Looking at Yunxiao with a sincere tone and earnest eyes, Wu Di spoke without reservation.

"You might not believe it, but the six of us siblings have actually been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, trying to establish some connection with her."

"Unfortunately, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool prefers to hide in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range most of the time and refuses to come out even once."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Yunxiao asked with some curiosity.

"Then why don't you go to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"

"As far as I know, as long as you apply through the proper channels, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range almost never refuse entry to any outsiders, right?" Upon hearing this, Wu Di gave another awkward laugh.

"Well, we, the Six Witches of Kaiming, have a bit of a grudge against the Dao Ancestor..."

"My elder brother was even imprisoned by the Dao Ancestor for a period of time, so... well, anyway, my elder brother thinks that the Hundred Lands Mountain Range probably won't welcome us." Nodding knowingly, Yunxiao could understand the concerns of the Six Witches of Kaiming.

Although the Dao Ancestor probably wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

However, there is no shortage of extreme individuals among the Mountain Folk.

If they knew that the Six Witches of Kaiming planned to enter the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and search for the Queen Mother of the West, the first thing they would probably do is grind these guys to dust.

"So, upon learning of the Queen Mother of the West's appearance, you immediately came to the Longbo Kingdom?"

Upon hearing Yunxiao's question, Wu Di suddenly raised his head and smiled mysteriously.

We know... perhaps much more than you imagine.

Wu Di was right; the Six Witches of Kaiming knew far more than Yunxiao imagined.

In Yunxiao's view, the Six Witches of Kaiming may have known, by some fortuitous opportunity, that the Queen Mother of the West had once visited Mystic Garden Island and left behind the elixir of Elixir of Immortality.

After all, they didn't even know that "the Seven-Colored Lotus is a body-forging elixir, not Elixir of Immortality."

Li Boyang's attempt to revive that Pure Yang Primordial Spirit was unsuccessful.

Luo Qiao took the opportunity to collect the remaining Seven-Colored Lotus.

So, after accidentally learning about the existence of those remains, Yunxiao took them from Luo Qiao and has been carefully nurturing them ever since.

This is why the Seven-Colored Lotus, which should have disappeared, appeared in the garden in the Yunxiao.

Unfortunately, the original Seven-Colored Lotus was severely damaged, and Yunxiao's cultivation techniques were indeed not up to par.

The cultivation of the Seven-Colored Lotus once caused a great stir, attracting countless covetous individuals, including many Dao Proving One had traveled across time and space.

In the end, it was Luo Qiao who stepped forward and repelled the invaders one by one, thus quelling the unrest.

Of course, this is also related to those Dao Proving One realizing the true nature of the Seven-Colored Lotus.

The Seven-Colored Lotus that has regrown from the Yunxiao Lotus Pond has little to do with the original body-forging elixir.

Even if those Dao Proving One obtain the Seven-Colored Lotus, they cannot use it to reshape their physical bodies and descend into this era.

Given this premise, Yunxiao viewed the Six Witches of Kaiming the same way he viewed those who coveted them.

If it weren't for the Wu Di had been caught by him last time and had made sure he had seriously carried out the punishment, he would have been in serious trouble.

Yunxiao wouldn't waste any more words with him this time, nor would she take the initiative to bring him to this lotus pond in an attempt to dissuade him from "stealing the Seven-Colored Lotus".

However, what Wu Di next completely shattered Yunxiao's understanding.

It even gave her the illusion that she had unknowingly stumbled into a major event.

We know... perhaps much more than you imagine.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Di picked up the cup of tea that had been prepared for him and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

"The Queen Mother of the West has visited the Longbo Kingdom far more times than you know..."

"And the reason why the Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus you planted can nurture Innate Deity has little to do with whether it's Elixir of Immortality." As she said this, Wu Di's gaze returned to Hanzhi, a barely perceptible hint of greed and helplessness flashing in her eyes. "Your name is Hanzhi, right?"

"Do you know that you are actually one of the Dao Ancestor's people?"

Looking at Yunxiao, whose pupils were wide open in shock, and Hanzhi, who looked completely bewildered, Wu Di, feeling that he had finally regained his composure, burst into laughter.

"Haha, I was just as shocked as you guys when I first found out about this."

"Let me tell you some secrets you don't know!"

"That Seven-Colored Lotus was not only left behind by the Dao Ancestor, it almost became the Dao Ancestor's incarnation."

"In other words, if it weren't for bad luck, her true identity would be far more than just a Innate Deity; she would be a true, immortal lotus root incarnation."

Pointing to the bewildered Hanzhi, Wu Di's smile widened even further.

"I reckon even the Dao Ancestor never imagined that those things he left behind, which couldn't even be called 'remains,' would eventually be nurtured by you into a lotus fairy."

Unable to help himself, Yunxiao turned to look at Hanzhi behind him. After a moment of silence, he instinctively asked.

Why are you telling us this?

With his hands shrugged, Wu Di answered in a rather innocent tone.

"Because you were willing to open your lotus pond to me, I felt you should know these things."
