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

Chapter 73 Breakthrough in Cultivation, Ninth Grade Azure Lotus

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, time slips by quietly amidst the flowing, pure, and sacred Taoist atmosphere.

Inside the Azure Jade Palace, Qinglian sat cross-legged on a futon, her mind completely immersed in the boundless Dao realm. The myriad insights gained from her travels through the primordial world, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, were repeatedly tempered, purified, and fused within the furnace of the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique. Qinglian's magical power also became increasingly refined.

On this day, with a slight thought, he drew out two incomparably precious primordial energies from the depths of the Qiankun Diagram.

A wisp of warm, golden yellow, radiating profound ripples of time and boundless life essence, is a part of the origin of the innate spiritual root, the Yellow Plum, obtained from the Abbot's Immortal Island!

The other wisp is a clear emerald green, with an ethereal and pure aura, containing the supreme truth of cleansing the primordial spirit and enlightening the mind. It is a part of the original essence of the innate bitter bamboo from the Immortal Island of Yingzhou!

The moment these two strands of primordial energy were released, they immediately triggered a violent reaction in the Azure Lotus Dantian Qi Sea!

In the center of his dantian, the eighth-grade Creation Lotus, born from the fusion of the Creation Lotus Seed and the remnant root of the Chaos Lotus, seemed to have encountered the most nourishing nutrients, and instantly burst forth with an incomparably eager throbbing!

The lotus platform trembled slightly, and eight jade-green lotus petals with profound Dao patterns unfolded, greedily absorbing the aura of the two innate spiritual roots that originated from the same source!

The time principles and life essence of Huang Zhongli, like gentle spring rain, nourish the foundation of the lotus platform, stimulating its original growth and sublimation.

The pure and serene Daoist charm and wisdom of the bitter bamboo are like the most exquisite carving knife, washing away any minor impurities that may exist on the lotus platform, refining the purity of its creative power, making it more crystal clear and naturally imbued with Daoist charm!

Buzz—buzz—! The light of the Creation Lotus grew brighter and brighter, its azure radiance almost piercing through its body!

Above the lotus platform, the chaotic, undeveloped blue energy flow spun and expanded wildly, as if the world was being created within it!

On the lotus petals, the already mysterious Dao patterns became even more complex and profound, as if explaining the supreme secrets of the origin of life and the evolution of creation!

Finally, when those two wisps of primordial energy were completely absorbed—crack!

A faint, yet seemingly originating sound emanated from the core of the Creation Lotus!

Immediately afterwards, surrounded by the other eight lotus petals, the ninth, slightly smaller but more crystal clear, with more intricate and mysterious Dao patterns, blue lotus petal slowly, laboriously, yet with unwavering determination, emerged from the center of the lotus platform, and then slowly unfolded and bloomed!

The Ninth-Grade Creation Lotus is complete!

Just as the ninth lotus petal was fully formed, a vast, pure, and more creation-like power, far greater than before, surged forth like a bursting dam, instantly nourishing the entire body of the green lotus!

It washed over his limbs and bones, cleansed his meridians and spirit, and nourished his foundation in the Great Dao!

Boom! Qinglian's body trembled slightly. The barrier within her body, which was already perfect and only one step away from becoming a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, melted and disintegrated silently under the impact of this new power, like ice and snow under the sun!

His aura instantly soared to a whole new level! His magical power became more condensed and vast, his primordial spirit clearer and more transparent, and his perception of the laws of heaven and earth more distinct and profound! With every gesture, he seemed to be able to draw upon the creative power of a region!

The Great Luo Golden Immortal has reached perfection!

It all happened naturally, without any hindrance!

Qinglian slowly opened her eyes, and in her eyes, there seemed to be a phantom of a blue lotus appearing and disappearing, with the energy of creation flowing through her.

He felt the surging power within him, and his understanding of the Dao of Creation deepened once more. The Ninth-Rank Creation Green Lotus already possessed some of the legacy and power of the Chaos Green Lotus, and its future was promising.

If one continues to absorb the essence of other innate spiritual roots, reaching the twelfth grade of the Creation Green Lotus should not be difficult.

Meanwhile, in the stone chamber in the mountain wall and another cave, Sun Wuzhen and Ao Guang also achieved perfect cultivation and broke through their barriers!

In the stone chamber where Sun Wuzhen was, the sounds of wind and thunder roared, and streaks of golden lightning tore through the void! His fighting spirit soared to the sky, and his blood and qi burned like in a furnace, completely shattering the barrier of the late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

A more violent, more refined aura, carrying a destructive edge and an indomitable fighting spirit, suddenly erupted! In his sea of ​​consciousness, the runes representing the core of the "Nine Revolutions Wind and Thunder Battle Technique" completely condensed and perfectly merged with his bloodline!

Early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

He suddenly opened his eyes, which burst forth with golden light. He couldn't help but let out a long roar that pierced through gold and shattered stone, making the entire stone chamber vibrate!

Sensing his master's breakthrough, the Ruyi Ironclad Soldier emitted a joyful hum! The Apricot Yellow Banner of Garrison (a replica), the Mountain-Driving Whip, the Golden Chainmail, and other treasures also shimmered, resonating even more deeply with his aura. He had officially stepped into the realm of top masters in the primordial world!

Meanwhile, in Ao Guang's cave, the roar of dragons echoed, and water vapor filled the air.

The Four Symbols Pearls floated above his head, the powers of earth, water, fire, and wind flowing around him like gentle dragons, constantly tempering his dragon form and magical power. The bottleneck of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal was broken, and a more profound aura, carrying the majesty of the dragon and the wonders of the four symbols, stabilized.

Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!

He felt the growing power within him and his deeper control over the Four Symbols Beads, and an excited smile appeared on his face. Although it couldn't compare to his senior brother's earth-shattering progress, it was still incredibly rapid.

The three masters and disciples broke through almost simultaneously, and the change in their auras instantly alarmed the three Dao Venerables in the Sanqing Palace.

"Good." "Not bad." "Haha, the little monkey has finally become a great immortal!"

Three gazes, filled with satisfaction and approval, pierced through the void and landed on the three people.

Several days later, once the three had fully stabilized their cultivation levels, the Daoist decree of the Three Pure Ones was transmitted to their respective cave dwellings: "Qinglian (Wuzhen and Ao Guang), come to the Three Pure Ones Palace."

The three disciples immediately straightened their clothes and went to the main hall of the Sanqing Palace to pay their respects.

On the cloud bed, the Three Pure Ones, with their ethereal aura, swept their gaze across the area below.

The aura of the Azure Lotus was perfectly harmonious, and the illusory image of the Ninth Grade Azure Lotus appeared and disappeared in the auspicious clouds, having already reached the Great Luo Perfection.

Sun Wuzhen's fighting spirit is restrained, his sharpness is hidden, and he has already formed the aura of a Great Luo; Ao Guang's foundation is solid, and his dragon energy and the power of the Four Symbols are fused together, showing significant progress.

Lao Tzu spoke slowly, his voice indifferent yet pointing directly to the Great Dao: "You have all returned from your travels, each making progress and establishing a solid foundation. However, the Great Dao is boundless, and you must proceed steadily and clearly discern the direction. Today, we will guide you through the path from Taiyi to Daluo, solidifying your foundation and clarifying your future."

Upon hearing this, Qinglian and the other two were greatly encouraged! The Three Pure Ones personally expounding the Dao, and systematically outlining the Dao of Taiyi and Daluo, was an immense opportunity!

Even though Qinglian has reached the Great Luo Perfection stage, hearing such fundamental Dao principles can help her review and learn something new, identify and fill in any gaps in her knowledge, which is of great benefit to her own path of cultivation.

The sermon begins.

There were no spectacular phenomena of falling flowers from the sky or golden lotuses springing from the ground; only the plain yet profound Daoist pronouncements flowed like a clear spring, slowly entering the minds of the three masters and disciples.
