Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 101 Enhancement of the Azure Lotus Dao Foundation

When the many reclusive powerful figures and giants of the primordial world learned of this, their reactions varied: some were surprised, some pondered, some sneered, and some were worried.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the demon race's strength and fortune had been further guaranteed by this action, especially with the addition of Fuxi, a wise man skilled in planning and strategizing.

The goddess Nuwa, who lived in seclusion on Mount Buzhou, was not directly admitted to the Heavenly Court, but her name was already closely linked to the demon race, and it was difficult to completely sever ties with her.

The scales of the great calamity seemed to have tipped slightly again because of Di Jun's actions. Dark clouds gathered in the primordial sky, and the winds, signaling an impending storm, grew even stronger.

Meanwhile, atop Mount Kunlun, the roaring of qi and the surging of Daoist energy within the Sanqing Palace continued unabated, like three colossal primordial eggs nurturing supreme power, silently and intensely awaiting that earth-shattering, world-shaking moment.

Qinglian returned to Qingyu Dao Palace with calm steps. The Daoist aura that had been surging around her due to the unfolding of the creation of the world gradually subsided, but it did not completely disappear. Instead, it was like the surface of a lake where a boulder had been thrown in, with ripples spreading and endless mysteries emerging.

He did not immediately embark on another period of seclusion. Instead, he sat cross-legged in a quiet room, his mind still immersed in the grand aftertaste of the Pangu creation scene, which was transformed by the tenth-grade Creation Green Lotus. He savored it carefully, unwilling to miss any subtle insight.

This evolution was an extremely heavy burden for him, almost draining his entire understanding of the laws of creation and his reserves of magical power.

However, the gains were also immense. Although he only grasped five or six tenths of its essence, it was tantamount to compressing, refining, and recreating all his own knowledge and accumulation of the Great Dao of Creation to the extreme!

In order to support the manifestation of such a grand scene, he had to mobilize, dismantle, integrate, and sublimate all his past insights—from the body tempering under the pressure of Buzhou Mountain, to the Dao discussions at Wuzhuang Temple, to the understanding gained from the battles with the Wu Clan, and even the creation imprint he personally experienced in the Pangu Palace—using his own creation of the Azure Lotus as the fundamental basis to forcibly "enact" it!

At this moment, all the noise subsided. Calming down and carefully savoring every detail of the evolution process, he suddenly had endless new inspirations and insights. It was like a long-blocked spring suddenly being cleared, and the sweet spring water gushed out and flowed into his heart and mind!

He "saw" that within that supreme power that created the world, ultimate destruction and vigorous creation were not opposites, but rather two inseparable aspects of the same great process!

That giant axe that cleaved through chaos was both a weapon of destruction and a key to creation!

This had a revolutionary impact on his path of creation, making him realize that true creation is not simply about gentle growth, but also requires the resolute power to break free from constraints and reshape the universe!

He "saw" that the order of heaven and earth did not arise out of thin air, nor was it forcibly stipulated by the will of the strong. Rather, it was naturally derived and solidified in the intense collision, friction and balance of the ultimate power and countless laws, just like streams flowing into the sea and stars lining up!

This gave him a deeper understanding of the "order" principle upheld by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

He also "saw" that, at the moment of separation of the clear and the turbid, the initial distinction between yin and yang, from the chaotic core of the surging and roaring earth, water, fire, and wind, a wisp of pure and pristine vitality, containing infinite possibilities, emerged.

It is far more fundamental, more magnificent, and closer to the origin of the Great Dao than the creation of "life" that he previously understood!

These insights, like thunderclaps, reverberated in his mind, reshaping his cognitive system.

Within his dantian, the tenth-grade Creation Lotus, which was intertwined with his life and served as the foundation of his Great Dao, seemed to sense the earth-shaking yet profoundly mysterious changes in its master's state of mind, and spontaneously and slowly began to rotate.

The lotus petals unfold, each one becoming increasingly crystal clear, with a flowing blue light, like smoke and mist, and within them, countless minute and exquisite patterns of creation are born, die, intertwine, and recombine.

Gradually, clear and mysterious phenomena began to appear on the lush green lotus petals:

The profound and nourishing Daoist essence of the Earthly Branch, which was obtained from the Earthly Book of the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, is transformed into miniature phantoms of mountains and earth veins, floating in the clear blue light of creation, making the foundation of the Azure Lotus even more stable and expansive.

It contains the true essence of various laws, derived from the intensive exchanges and bloodline resonance of the Twelve Ancestral Witches—the blazing inferno of Zhurong, the ultimate softness and strength of Gonggong, the vibrant life force of Jumang, the sharp and deadly edge of Rushou, the formless wind of Tianwu, the violent thunder of Qiangliang, the timeless order of Zhujiuyin, and the celestial phenomena of Shebishi's flourishing and decay—

These most primal and fundamental bloodline power imprints, like rivers flowing into the sea, were absorbed and embraced by the Creation Lotus, transforming into various colored glimmers flowing on the lotus platform, making its overall aura even more ancient, more profound, and more all-encompassing! The Way of Creation, which is inherently all-encompassing, was now even more evident.

Furthermore, it contains the supreme Daoist essence transmitted by the Three Pure Ones—the ethereal and transcendent Taiqing Wuwei, the rigorous laws and regulations of Yuqing Order, and the heaven-piercing sharpness of Shangqing.

It transformed into three streams of pure energy, each with a different color but equally noble in origin, like three small dragons, swirling around the heart of the lotus. They interacted with the all-encompassing core of creation within the blue lotus itself, constantly generating new changes, as if they were probing the infinite possibilities of the world.

The most core and profound element is the true meaning of the Great Dao of Power, which originates from the scene of Pangu creating the world, and the countless fragments of laws scattered like grains of sand in the grand process!

They are like the deepest and most fundamental imprints, not just on the surface, but deeply integrated into every inch of the Creation Lotus's "flesh and blood" and every texture, causing it to undergo an indescribable, almost primal transformation in its essence!

This transformation imbued the creation of the Azure Lotus with a trace of the supreme power that opened up the primordial chaos and established the order of the universe!

At this moment, the tenth-grade Creation Lotus is no longer just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure containing infinite vitality, but more like a miniature "chaotic singularity" that is constantly evolving and progressing, encompassing everything and containing infinite possibilities and supreme potential!

The aura of creation it exuded became incomparably profound, vast, and supreme, as if it touched the root of the law of "life" in the primordial world!

Qinglian's mind was completely immersed in this wonderful and continuous sublimation, greedily absorbing it.

Digesting every new insight, thoroughly imprinting it with one's own mark, and transforming it into a part of one's immortal foundation.

Although his cultivation level did not break through directly, it remained at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal (accumulation of magical power) and the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint physical body (Eight Revolutions Profound Technique).

However, its solid foundation, profound understanding of the way of creation, and enormous future potential have reached an astonishing level that even the Three Pure Ones could not have predicted!

This paved an incredibly broad and solid path for him to eventually reach the level of Quasi-Saint, Saint, and even higher!

Meanwhile, atop Kunlun Mountain, the seclusion within the Sanqing Palace had reached its most crucial and critical juncture.

The three drops of dark gold essence blood originating from the core of Pangu's heart, which transformed into a vast torrent of qi and blood, have been gradually refined, absorbed, and integrated by the Three Pure Ones with their supreme cultivation and wisdom as they are about to become saints.

What is astonishing yet reasonable is that the core essence blood originating from the heart of the Father God resonated and merged perfectly with the foundation formed by their authentic Pangu primordial spirit, without any repulsion, as if they were originally one and of the same origin, and now they were simply returning to their origin!
