Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 73 The Illuminating Lotus

The earth element's primordial energy gave Emperor Yi a feeling far stronger than that of the Kunxu Dharma King, as if he were facing a half-saint powerhouse.

Even a demigod does not possess such a vast and pure aura of origin.

The Kunxu Dharma King is a person with great fortune, and can be called the chosen one of the Five Elements Void Realm. He is favored by the origin of heaven and earth. If he continues to cultivate, he may be able to break through the limitations of heaven and earth and become a Saint-level Dharma Master, just like the ancestor of the Holy Land Palace.

The primordial energy of the earth element is a rare treasure, but Di Yi was puzzled when he looked at it.

He had nothing suitable to collect, nor could he directly refine it into his physical body.

The primordial energy contained in ten catties of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil is probably less than one-thousandth of the primordial energy in front of you. To refine it directly would be tantamount to courting death.

Just as Di Yi was in a dilemma, a fluctuation suddenly came from the sea of ​​consciousness in his Purple Mansion. It was the blue lotus rooted in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Azure Lotus had been growing in the sea of ​​consciousness for many years, but it was only about two feet in size. Di Yi had never figured out what it was or what its purpose was.

At this moment, Qinglian showed a strong desire for the earth elemental energy of the Five Elements Ruins.

Di Yi was filled with doubt and had many guesses. After some thought, he decided to give it a try.

He communicated with the spirit of the Crimson Copper Brahma Seal, completely suppressing the earth elemental energy, and then brought it back to his brow.

As soon as the Earth Element Qi entered his brow, the Azure Lotus in his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness immediately burst forth with dazzling azure light. As if it were an innate suppression, it directly sealed the Earth Element Qi, pulling it from his Qi Sea into his Sea of ​​Consciousness, forcibly dispersing it into streams of pure primordial power, which it devoured completely like a whale swallowing a dragon.

With the infusion of primordial energy, the green lotus began to grow rapidly. In just a few breaths, it grew from two feet tall to a full six feet tall. The bud that was originally only in its embryonic form was fully formed and ready to bloom.

Emperor Yi felt an endless surge of spiritual power within his sea of ​​consciousness, constantly emerging from the green lotus and propelling his spiritual power realm to rapidly improve.

In just a moment, his spiritual power level jumped from the 39th level to the 40th level, and the growth momentum showed no signs of slowing down.

Two hours later, the spiritual power fed back by Qinglian was completely absorbed by Di Yi, and his spiritual power was raised to the peak of the forty-first level, making him a master of spiritual power.

The fortieth level is a major threshold for spiritual power. Once a spiritual power cultivator reaches the fortieth level, they can project their spiritual power outward and unleash powerful spiritual power spells that are no weaker than those of martial arts cultivators at the same level, and may even be stronger.

As his spiritual power reached the forty-first level, the world before Di Yi's eyes became different from before. The True Source Demon Eye seemed to have unlocked a higher level of restriction, allowing him to see a deeper level of the essence of heaven and earth.

At this moment, in Di Yi's eyes, the void of the Five Elements Ruins Realm was filled with crisscrossing streams of spiritual energy, running according to predetermined rules. He could vaguely sense the existence of these underlying rules.

"These are...the rules?"

The sacred way is omnipresent; its form of existence is rules. These rules constitute the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth, and together with matter, they construct the entire world.

The rules of the Sacred Path are beyond the comprehension of martial artists. Generally speaking, one can only comprehend the Sacred Path rules when one's cultivation reaches the Ninth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon, just one step away from becoming a Half-Saint.

Emperor Yi pushed his True Source Demon Eye to its limit, carefully observing the crisscrossing rules of heaven and earth. It was like looking at flowers through a fog; he could only see the outlines from afar, but could not see the details clearly, let alone memorize them, comprehend them, or make them his own.

Tens of thousands of sacred rules coexist without conflict, but some are particularly different, like a dragon compared to an earthworm, exceptionally large and vast. "Is this the rule of the eternal Dao?"

There are nine kinds of ancient laws, but Emperor Yi can only vaguely see four or five of them at this moment. Among these four or five ancient laws, two are the clearest.

One of Emperor Yi's guesses is that it's the Path of Darkness. With the Dark Martial Soul and the Twin Lotus of Returning to Nothingness, and having also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram, his perception of the rules of darkness is clearer, which is not hard to understand.

But what is the other, timeless way?
After carefully sensing the surroundings, Di Yi finally found the answer.

It is the very origin of all things!

The True Source Demon Eye can see through the illusions of the world and perceive the origin of all things, which is in fact in line with the two paths of truth and origin among the nine ancient paths.

The green lotus in the Purple Mansion's sea of ​​consciousness can devour the earth elemental energy of the Five Elements Ruins Realm, using pure origin energy as nourishment. It is itself a spiritual object born in accordance with the Dao of Origin.

Like... the twin lotus blossoms returning to the void.

The Twin Lotus of Guixu, born in the endless darkness and nothingness of Guixu, represents destruction and death. It is known as the Flower of Darkness and represents the Dark Path among the Nine Paths of Eternity.

Between heaven and earth, creation is boundless, and there are also several kinds of spiritual objects related to the ancient Dao.

The Seventy-Two Lotus, representing the eternal nature of time, embodies the principle of time; the Chaos Lotus, representing the infinite nature of space, embodies the principle of space.

The spiritual objects representing the origin of the Dao are called the "Illuminating Lotus".

The Divine Lotus is a supreme treasure born from the convergence of the origins of the universe. It is formed from the primordial power of the universe and can assist in cultivation. Especially for Great Sages, it can help to condense their holy will and improve the quality of their holy will.

The Guixu Twin Lotus grows in Guixu, while the Chaos Lotus and the Seventy-Two-Petaled Lotus can only be found in Haishi Star Dock, the origin of the universe.

Compared to them, the Divine Lotus is much more common. It has been seen in the history of Kunlun Realm, but the descriptions passed down are relatively rare, for reasons unknown.

In the beginning of time, there was a lotus that illuminated the heavens in the universe. It received guidance from the Buddha Kasyapa, attained enlightenment on the third day, achieved enlightenment on the seventh day, and was reborn in the darkness on the sixteenth day after the moon waned.

That Ancient Lotus of Illumination eventually transformed into the Ancestor of the Underworld, becoming one of the most powerful figures born in this era of the eternal universe. He orchestrated the universe, existed for over a hundred million years, and can be considered the ultimate mastermind of the universe, an immortal being.

However, among the many Divine Lotuses, only this one could achieve the level of the Underworld Ancestor, so Di Yi didn't think too much about it.

The connection between Emperor Yi and the Divine Lotus in his Purple Mansion Sea of ​​Consciousness is quite close, like a part of his body. Now that it has absorbed the Earth Element Origin Qi, it acts like a bridge, connecting Emperor Yi with heaven and earth.

After observing for a while without success, Di Yi withdrew the power of the True Source Demon Eye. With his current cultivation at the Heavenly Extreme Realm, it was still too early for him to comprehend the rules of the Holy Path. He should wait until his cultivation reached the Fish-Dragon Realm, or his spiritual power reached a higher level, or until the Illuminating Lotus fully took shape and bloomed.

Di Yi has no immediate plans to break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm. The supreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm is something he cannot miss. Cultivating spiritual power is a gradual process, and the fastest way to achieve results right now is to find the other types of primordial energy of heaven and earth in the Five Elements Ruins Realm and let the Divine Lotus absorb and refine them.

Di Yi remembered that the original wood element energy of the Five Elements Ruins seemed to be in the hands of the Divine Corpse Dharma King of the Evil Wood Palace.
