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

The tragic aura of the fall of the Red Cloud Ancestor was like a boulder thrown into the primordial wilderness; the ripples it stirred up had not yet subsided, yet the summit of Kunlun Mountain still maintained an almost frozen tranquility.

The three Dao Palaces, like slumbering primordial eggs of chaos, exhale and exhale vast primordial spiritual energy and the laws of the Heavenly Dao, while the sacred power nurtured within them undergoes its final transformation.

The auras of the three Dao Venerables, Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, grew increasingly unfathomable, as if they had merged seamlessly with that wisp of primordial purple energy. The profound realm where the primordial spirit resided in the void of the Heavenly Dao was being slowly opened by them. However, the door to the Sacred Realm remained difficult to open.

Inside the Azure Jade Palace, Azure Lotus slowly awoke from her profound state of enlightenment.

His aura was perfectly harmonious and unimpeded, and his late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm was completely and firmly established. Daoist principles flowed with every move he made, and his understanding of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique had deepened.

The wake-up call from the Crimson Cloud Calamity and the urgency of the impending Great Calamity made him realize that improving his strength was of paramount importance. It was time to thoroughly refine the treasures he had acquired during his travels through the primordial world, transforming them into his own foundation.

With a slight thought, he first focused his mind on his dantian (lower abdomen).

In the center of the Qi Sea, the Creation Lotus Seed, which has incorporated the essence of Pangu Jade Marrow, is currently suspended above the Pure World White Lotus, radiating a gentle and refreshing Creation radiance.

Beside the lotus seed, a broken root about a foot long, entirely emerald green and covered with mysterious chaotic Dao patterns, floated quietly. It was the broken root of the Chaotic Green Lotus that had been collected from Penglai Immortal Island!

Although this object is incomplete, it is the last bit of the original root of the Chaos Treasure that gave birth to the Great God Pangu and gave rise to many innate lotus platforms in the primordial world!

Its power of creation, prosperity, and reincarnation is pure and vast, far exceeding imagination!

"Refining this root may trigger a deeper transformation in the Creation Lotus Seed!" Qinglian thought with certainty.

Without further hesitation, he activated the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, and his vast and pure magical power, like a galaxy, enveloped the remnant root of the Chaos Green Lotus.

At the same time, the power of the primordial spirit was highly concentrated, and it carefully probed into the depths of the remaining root, attempting to communicate with and merge with the supreme origin of creation that originated from the beginning of chaos.

Upon contact, a vast, boundless, chaotic will, seemingly carrying all the information of life since the beginning of time, surged forth!

This will was not malicious, but it carried the inherent disorder and vastness of chaos, like a raging sea, attempting to assimilate and devour Qinglian's primordial spirit!

Qinglian's mind and spirit trembled violently!

The auspicious clouds above his head instantly activated, and countless auspicious energies descended to protect his primordial spirit.

The Qiankun Diagram at the Dantian evolves into a miniature Qiankun, stabilizing the Qi Sea space;

The intent of the Qingping Sword in his hand was drawn but not released, severing the harmful thoughts that were invading his primordial spirit;

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the Xuanhuang Pagoda shone with golden light, and the pure radiance of the Pure White Lotus flowed to its ultimate state!

"Stop!" A silent Daoist shout emanated from the depths of Qinglian's primordial spirit. Using his own origin of creation as a guide and the pure and holy power of the Pure World White Lotus as a bridge, he began to sort out and guide the raging chaotic power of creation, like the most patient craftsman.

This is an extremely dangerous and lengthy process.

The origin contained in the remnant root of the Chaos Green Lotus is too ancient and vast. If one is not careful, one may be assimilated by it and become part of the chaos, or cause a conflict of origin, leading to the collapse of the dantian and qi sea.

With her mind highly focused, Qinglian was walking a tightrope over a bottomless abyss, carefully peeling away the disordered and violent parts from the remaining roots, and gradually guiding and integrating its pure essence of creation into the dormant lotus seed of creation.

Time flows by silently, undergoing a refining process. The sea of ​​clouds atop Kunlun Mountain gathers and disperses, through countless seasons.

The lotus seed underwent an astonishing transformation!

The originally gentle and reserved lotus seeds began to pulsate violently after merging with the essence of the remnant root of the Chaos Green Lotus, as if they had gained a living heart!

The mysterious Dao patterns on the surface of the lotus seed became incredibly clear and profound, radiating an aura of creation and transformation a hundred times stronger than before!

Inside the lotus seed, it seems as if a miniature chaotic universe is being created and evolving!

Finally, when the last wisp of the Chaotic Green Lotus's essence was completely refined and integrated into the lotus seed—

Om-! ! !

A clear, melodious hum, seemingly originating from the very source of the Great Dao, emanated from the depths of the Azure Lotus Dantian, instantly piercing through the Azure Jade Dao Palace and stirring the innate spiritual energy of the entire Kunlun Mountain!

The lotus seed burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant azure light! The seed's outer shell slowly dissolved and unfolded within the azure light…

The lotus sprouts one leaf, then three leaves, and three leaves multiply into eight!

Lotus petals, pure blue-green and crystal clear, seemingly formed from the purest essence of creation, bloom layer by layer from the core of the lotus seed!

On the lotus petals, mysterious and incomparably profound chaotic Dao patterns are naturally engraved, expounding the supreme truth of the origin of life and the flourishing and decay of all things!

At the center of the lotus platform, a wisp of primordial blue energy swirled, the very core of the origin of creation!

The Eighth Grade Creation Lotus is complete!

Qinglian's dantian was instantly filled with the magnificent and pure light of creation emanating from this newly born lotus platform!

This pure light not only nourished his physical body and magical power, but also resonated wonderfully with the pure white lotus light deep within his primordial spirit!

The white lotus is responsible for purification and protection, while the blue lotus is responsible for creation and growth. The two complement each other, forming a perfect balance that is everlasting and cyclical!

Under the influence of this balanced creative power, Qinglian's foundation became more stable and profound than ever before! He even felt that his understanding of the Great Dao of Creation had instantly risen to a whole new level!

Qinglian's foundation also improved significantly, reaching a level comparable to some weaker innate gods and demons.

"Excellent!" An indescribable joy welled up in Qinglian's heart. Refining the remnant root of the Chaos Green Lotus and nurturing the eighth-grade Creation Green Lotus—this move was the right one! This lotus platform has boundless potential; in the future, it might very well recreate some of the power of the Chaos Green Lotus!

He didn't stop, but struck while the iron was hot, turning his attention to two other treasures he had already acquired but had not yet fully refined due to timing or insufficient cultivation: the Primordial Measuring Ruler and the Twelve-Petaled Pure World White Lotus!

The Primordial Measuring Ruler was personally bestowed by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It is a treasure of acquired merit, containing a trace of the merit of creation. Its power is no less than that of the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda! Its great power of "measuring heaven and earth and defining the rules" is mysterious and unfathomable.

The Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus was obtained from beside the Pangu Palace on Mount Buzhou. It was transformed from the seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus, possessing unparalleled defense, purifying all evil, and impervious to all magic. It is the foundation of his life.

Qinglian first activated her primordial spirit to communicate with the Primordial Measuring Ruler suspended in the auspicious clouds.

The ancient purple jade ruler trembled slightly, and the sun, moon, stars, and the phantom images of mountains and rivers on its surface seemed to come alive.

A vast, just, and seemingly supreme Daoist aura, capable of defining the order of the universe, spread out.

Qinglian no longer resisted, but instead opened her mind and spirit, using her own creative origin to embrace, understand, and integrate this great power of "defining rules".

The process of refining the Measuring Ruler is much "gentler" than refining the remnant root of the Chaos Green Lotus, yet it is equally profound. It tests the holder's understanding of "order," "rules," and "measurement."
