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

The climb is becoming increasingly difficult.

The pressure from Pangu was like a tangible millstone of chaos, not only crushing the physical body, but also beginning to directly impact the primordial spirit and sea of ​​consciousness.

If it weren't for the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda trembling slightly in her sea of ​​consciousness, emitting wisps of Xuanhuang energy to stabilize her soul, coupled with the miraculous power of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, Qinglian would have been unable to move an inch.

Just as he felt he had reached his limit and was about to take a short break to catch his breath, a sudden change occurred!

Within the dantian, the lotus seed of creation, which had been spinning rapidly and absorbing and exhaling primordial energy, suddenly twitched violently without warning!

A strong, primal sense of excitement instantly spread throughout my body.

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda deep within his sea of ​​consciousness emitted an extremely faint hum, which only he could perceive. The profound yellow energy hanging from the pagoda rippled slightly, as if responding to some kind of call.

This feeling... isn't dangerous, but rather a strange attraction!

A pure and immaculate aura of creation, born from the same source, was calling to him from not far away!

Qinglian felt a surge of energy, as if her fatigue had been somewhat dispelled.

He immediately followed this subtle feeling, deviating from the original upward path and heading towards a secluded corner to the side, hidden by huge rocks and dense chaotic air currents.

The closer they got, the stronger the throbbing of the Creation Lotus Seed became, and the clearer the humming of the Xuanhuang Pagoda became.

The seemingly ordinary mountain cliffs ahead, when perceived by Qinglian with the essence of creation, revealed extremely sophisticated and almost perfectly natural traces of innate restrictions.

This restriction was not man-made, but rather a natural phenomenon created by heaven and earth to protect what lies within.

"What a wonderful natural training ground! If it weren't for the shared origin and the subtle guidance of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal passing by might not have noticed it at all."

Qinglian secretly praised it, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

He took a deep breath and did not forcefully break the restriction.

Instead, he closed his eyes, focused all his energy on circulating the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, and at the same time mobilized the purest power of creation within his body, carefully probing towards the invisible barrier.

His aura, as gentle as ripples on water, seeped into the barrier, attempting to communicate and resonate with it.

Time passed slowly. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qinglian's forehead as she focused her mind intently.

He wasn't breaking it by force, but rather searching for the "pulse" of this natural restriction, using the same source of creative power to soothe and guide it, like a key searching for a lock.

Finally, after three long years, the seemingly seamless mountain wall barrier began to ripple silently to both sides like a water curtain, revealing a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

A surge of innate spiritual energy, even purer than that of Kunlun Mountain, carrying the power to cleanse the soul and purify all things, rushed towards us!

Qinglian stepped into it.

Suddenly, everything became clear!

This is a natural cave that is not very large, but is exceptionally beautiful and exquisite.

The cave ceiling was not rock, but a strange dome filled with chaotic starlight. Wisps of chaotic spiritual energy fell down and were absorbed and transformed by the things below.

In the center of the cave, there was a small pool, no more than ten feet in diameter, whose water shone with a dreamlike glow of the sun, moon, and stars. It flowed slowly, radiating an intensely rich vitality and purifying power—this was the sacred healing artifact of the primordial world, the Three Lights Divine Water (the Sunlight Divine Water erodes blood essence and flesh, the Moonlight Divine Water corrodes the primordial spirit and soul, and the Starlight Divine Water dissolves true spirit consciousness; when the three are combined, they become the number one healing elixir)!

In the very center of the small pond, a crystal-clear, pure white lotus platform floats quietly.

The lotus flower has twelve petals, each so pure that it seems to reflect the deepest thoughts in people's hearts, radiating a soft and holy white halo.

Wherever the halo reached, the chaotic air currents became gentle, the dust in the space was purified, and even the distracting thoughts in people's hearts seemed to be washed away.

A grand, compassionate, and supreme Taoist aura, purifying all defilement and protecting the purity of the original source, permeated the entire cave.

Twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus!

Qinglian's heart began to pound uncontrollably!

This...this is actually a legendary innate top-grade spiritual treasure, which, like the twenty-four-grade Creation Green Lotus that nurtured him, is transformed from the Chaos Green Lotus!

It is also rooted in the same origin as his own creation!

No wonder! No wonder the Lotus Seed of Creation within my body was throbbing so intensely! No wonder the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda sensed it!

The "purification" principle contained in this treasure is a perfect supplement and sublimation of the "creation" source within him! If he could obtain its source nourishment, it would be an unimaginable and enormous benefit to him in completing and improving his innate foundation!

Its value may even surpass that of the Three Lights Divine Water!

Overwhelmed with joy, Qinglian suppressed his excitement.

He did not immediately step forward to collect it, but instead bowed solemnly once again to this small world and to the Pure White Lotus.

"Heaven and earth have created this treasure, bestowing upon us exceptional beauty and talent. The Pure White Lotus and the Divine Water of the Three Lights have been obtained by me, Qinglian, today. This is truly a gift from the Great Dao, a stroke of good fortune. I will cherish it dearly, living up to its pure essence, and using it for the righteous path, to prove my Dao!"

His voice was clear and resonant, carrying respect for the spirits of heaven and earth and a commitment to his own path.

After the ceremony, Qinglian carefully walked to the edge of the pool. He first took out a jade bottle that he had obtained from Kunlun and that the Primordial Celestial Venerable had casually crafted. He then made a hand seal to activate the bottle's opening.

The Three Lights Divine Water in the pool seemed to possess a spirit, transforming into three distinct yet harmonious streams of sun, moon, and starlight, which were continuously drawn into the jade bottle until the pool water dried up, at which point the jade bottle itself generated a seal to preserve the water.

Then, he turned his gaze to the sacred twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus.

He reached out, but instead of directly touching the lotus platform, he slowly released his purest power of creation, like the softest silk thread, wrapping it around the Pure World White Lotus.

The white lotus trembled slightly, as if sensing the familiar aura born from the same source.

The pure white light emanating from the lotus platform did not resist; instead, it actively welcomed the power of creation emanating from the blue lotus. The moment the two came into contact, a wondrous feeling of perfect harmony welled up in the blue lotus's heart.

The light of the Pure White Lotus softened, and the lotus platform itself slowly shrank, eventually transforming into a gentle white stream of light that actively entered the palm of the Green Lotus, hovering quietly and creating a mysterious resonance with the Creation Lotus Seed within him.

Thus, the two rare treasures from the primordial era finally fell into Qinglian's hands.

He felt the cool and warm aura emanating from the Pure White Lotus in his palm, and then glanced at the Three Lights Divine Water Jade Bottle, which was now stored away and contained endless vitality. A surge of heroic spirit welled up in his heart.

This trip to Buzhou Mountain yielded far more rewards than expected! It was not only a reward for his perseverance but also a tremendous boost to his spiritual journey!

"Mount Buzhou, Father God Pangu... Thank you for your gift!"

Qinglian bowed once more towards the depths of the cave. Then, he withdrew his precious light and turned to leave this natural grotto.

The barrier slowly closed behind him, and the mountain wall returned to its original state, as if nothing had ever happened.

He looked up at the summit of Mount Buzhou, which was higher and closer to the chaotic gale layer, his eyes filled with an even more determined light.

Pangu's oppressive aura remained as heavy as a prison, but at this moment, Qinglian's Dao heart was clear and she possessed a supreme treasure. She felt that although the road ahead was difficult, the Great Dao was within reach!

He adjusted his breathing, took another step, and continued his climb and exploration towards that primordial summit.
