Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Just as Huanglong was about to continue urging the Pure World White Lotus to purify the demonic energy, he suddenly sensed two disgruntled gazes coming from the void.

He gave an awkward laugh.

"I had some private matters to discuss earlier, please forgive me, my two senior uncles," Huang Long said, bowing respectfully towards Mount Sumeru.

As soon as Huang Long finished speaking, he had a thought, and the Pure White Lotus above his head once again bloomed with pure white light.

This time, the light spread to a wider area than before, restoring a region of millions of miles and enveloping vast swathes of scorched black earth in holy radiance.

However, the intensity of the light was significantly weaker than before, and the speed of purifying the demonic energy was much slower, now requiring several times more time to purify the same area.

This is not Huanglong deliberately slacking off; there is still a difference between a sixth-grade Pure World White Lotus and a ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus.

Xuandu and Duobao quickly noticed the abnormality.

Although they didn't know why Huanglong had switched to a Pure White Lotus, the two of them simultaneously slowed down their movements.

Huang Long offered no explanation, and they didn't ask.

At this moment, Huanglong focused most of his attention on the Chaos Yin-Yang Pearl, where a tremendous change was taking place.

The moment the half-broken third-grade lotus platform was absorbed into the Yin and Yang realms, it transformed into a flowing ball of pure white light, merging into the ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus!

The petals of the Pure White Lotus trembled slightly, emitting a low, resonant sound, as if trembling for its soon-to-be-completed form.

The two primordial sources began to merge. In fact, the remnant lotus primordial source actively merged into the ninth-grade white lotus.

The withered lotus has been separated for countless years, and its essence has long since dried up to the limit, but it still retains the original Dao imprint of the Pure World White Lotus!

That was the true missing piece of the Pure World White Lotus. When this mark returned to the White Lotus's body, it was like the last piece of a puzzle being put back in place, making it completely perfect.

The petals of the Nine-Rank Pure White Lotus began to become transparent one by one.

The petals, originally as white as jade, changed color from pure white to translucent glass color after absorbing the essence of the withered lotus, and then from glass color to a deeper milky white.

Each petal displays natural patterns of laws, which are the purification laws imprinted on it by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth when the Pure World White Lotus was first created. These laws will only be fully revealed when the lotus is in its complete twelve-petal state.

Now that the missing origin has returned, these patterns that have been suppressed for countless years have finally seen the light of day again.

With each line that lights up, the aura of the Pure White Lotus grows stronger.

The transformation process wasn't as fast as I had imagined.

The Pure White Lotus slowly descended and landed in the center of the lotus pond that the Yellow Dragon had migrated from the Xuanhuang Realm.

The petals slowly closed, enveloping the entire lotus flower into a giant bud.

The surface of the flower bud shimmered with a milky white light, and with each shimmer, it drew a large amount of spiritual liquid from the pool.

The precious pool water was decreasing at a visible rate, the water level dropping inch by inch.

Just then, the Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus in the lotus pond seemed to sense the transformation of the Pure World White Lotus, and its petals suddenly trembled.

Strands of extremely pure golden essence overflowed from the Golden Lotus of Merit, like tiny golden dragons, slowly drifting towards the white lotus bud in the center of the pool that was undergoing metamorphosis.

At this moment, the Pure World White Lotus is undergoing a crucial transformation from the ninth grade to the twelfth grade. The Merit Golden Lotus sensed the aura of the same origin and instinctively separated a wisp of its own origin to help it.

This primal gift is autonomous and not controlled by any external force, just as blood relatives will lend a helping hand in times of crisis without any reason.

The moment the golden essence of the Golden Lotus of Merit entered the white lotus bud, the light flowing on the surface of the bud suddenly accelerated.

The previously slow transformation speed increased significantly at this moment, with the law patterns on the white lotus petals lighting up nearly 30% faster.

In the center of the lotus pond, two lotus seeds floated quietly in the water.

It is a verdant plant with intricate and mysterious Dao patterns on its shell, each pattern containing the laws of creation from the beginning of the world.

The other one was entirely crimson, with faint dark red flame patterns on its outer shell, and each flash emitted a faint aura of karmic fire.

These two lotus seeds are the seeds of the Creation Green Lotus and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus!

The former was bestowed by the Sage of Taiqing, while the latter was an apology from the Old Ancestor of the Styx to Fuxi, which Fuxi then gave back to him.

These two lotus seeds had been dormant in the lotus pond. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus was due to its short gestation period, while the Creation Green Lotus was purely due to its exceptionally powerful roots.

But at that moment, both lotus seeds trembled simultaneously.

A wisp of azure essence overflowed from the lotus seed of the Creation Green Lotus, and a wisp of blood-red essence overflowed from the lotus seed of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

The two streams of essence, like two swimming dragons, simultaneously swam towards the white lotus bud in the center of the pond.

The azure origin of creation, the crimson origin of karmic fire, and the golden origin of the lotus of merit converged above the flower bud, the three colors of light intertwining and swirling, before disappearing into the flower bud.

The infusion of the three origins from the same source caused the bud of the Pure World White Lotus to suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling white light, so bright that it made the entire lotus pond lose its color.

The pool water surged violently under the resonance of the three-colored origin, and even the entire universe of the mortal realm resonated with it.

Inside the flower bud, the Pure White Lotus Dao Imprint is perfecting at an incredible speed, and its origin is also rapidly strengthening.

As the Pure World White Lotus underwent its transformation, endless innate spiritual energy from the entire Yang Realm poured into it.

With a thought, he channeled the primordial power of Yin and Yang from the core of the world, transforming it into a torrent of black and white energy that flowed into the white lotus bud in the center of the pool, which was making its final push.

This is an extremely extravagant practice.

The origin of Yin and Yang is the fundamental source of the Chaos Yin-Yang Pearl, the wealth accumulated by the Yellow Dragon in the chaos.

Every bit used is a bit less, requiring the absorption of chaotic energy again and a long period of nurturing to recover.

But we can't worry about that now. The significance of the Twelfth Grade Pure White Lotus is not just about adding one more grade... From the ninth grade to the twelfth grade, it is a qualitative change from "superior grade" to "ultimate grade".

The moment the essence of Yin and Yang was poured into the flower bud, the entire white lotus suddenly bloomed.

In an instant, an aura of utmost holiness swept out.

The twelve petals unfolded simultaneously, each one crystal clear as if carved from white jade, with the patterns on the petals fully illuminated and flowing endlessly across their surface.

The entire lotus flower radiated endless holy light, illuminating the entire mortal realm as if it were daytime, and even penetrating the barriers between worlds to illuminate the underworld as well.

The moment the laurel tree rooted in the underworld was illuminated by the light of the white lotus, the chaotic patterns on its trunk lit up simultaneously, and the tree's aura surged dramatically in just a few breaths.

The Fusang tree, rooted in the Yang Realm, also benefited, with new law patterns emerging on its crimson-gold trunk, echoing the light of the white lotus.
