Houtu is infatuated with me, so I made her lean against the wall.

Outside of Buzhou Mountain, Qin Ming floated in the sky.

He stared at the Nine-Nine Heavenly Punishment Divine Light Tribulation without any expression on his face.

The roots of the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus are firmly planted in the void, and the lotus leaves emit rays of white divine light.

"boom!"

A divine light descended, and a terrifying aura erupted at that moment.

The creatures near Buzhou Mountain were all forced to prostrate themselves on the ground by this terrifying aura, not daring to move.

However, this terrifying divine light had no effect on the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus; it was directly absorbed into the lotus platform's body.

"Just as I thought, the Undying Heavenly Technique allows one to seize the creation of heaven and earth for their own use!"

"Although this Heavenly Punishment Light is powerful, it can be absorbed by the Undying Heavenly Art, its malevolent energy extinguished and transformed into pure energy to perfect itself!"

"Furthermore, this divine light contains heavenly might, which is of immense benefit to the growth of my physical body!"

Qin Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he simply dispelled all defenses, allowing the divine light to descend.

Beams of divine light struck the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus. Qin Ming's primordial spirit crossed his hands and continuously circulated the Undying Heavenly Art to absorb the energy of the divine light and replenish himself!

Hongjun was the first to arrive near Buzhou Mountain. Looking at the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus undergoing its tribulation, his pupils contracted: "The twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus has taken human form? How is that possible?"

Hongjun was naturally familiar with the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus.

As one of the Chaos Demon Gods, the Immortal Demon God, Hongjun was extremely clear about the power of the Chaos Green Lotus.

After the creation of the primordial world, he abandoned his demon god body and escaped into the primordial world, where he unexpectedly obtained a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc. From then on, he embarked on a journey to find the Creation Jade Disc.

During that time, he did have his eye on the mature lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Using the predictive function of the Jade Disc of Creation, he did indeed find the location of a lotus seed.

That is the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

However, when he broke the formation, he discovered that the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit was not yet mature.

Currently, it has only grown to the tenth rank.

To fully reach the twelfth grade and become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, it will take several more eons.

So, why did the twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, which also has five mature lotus seeds, not only mature early but also develop sentience?

At this moment, he has cultivated to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and is undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, is this the Twelfth-Petaled Pure White Lotus taking form?"

Qiankun Daoist and Yinyang Daoist arrived hand in hand, and looking at the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus undergoing tribulation, they were equally astonished.

"Indeed, I don't know what happened, but this twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus has matured ahead of schedule and broken free from its restraints, preparing to take human form. Whether this is a blessing or a curse for the primordial world is unknown!"

There have long been rumors in the primordial world that due to the calamity of creation, a large number of chaotic demons died. In addition, the evil energy of creation sank to the bottom and merged with the resentment and evil energy of the chaotic demons after their death, making the primordial earth full of evil energy.

Because of the suppression of Mount Buzhou and one of the mature lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus, the primordial world was able to remain safe and sound.

But now, this lotus seed has taken on a human form.

So, is it really possible to suppress those evil energies with just Mount Buzhou?

"It should be fine!"

"At this moment, the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus has broken free from its restraints, yet the malevolent energy suppressed beneath Mount Buzhou has not leaked out in the slightest. This demonstrates that either Mount Buzhou can perfectly suppress the malevolent energy!"

"Either this innate deity, about to take human form, used some means to perfectly suppress these malevolent energies!"

"Otherwise, the moment he emerged, he would likely be perceived by heaven and earth, and a world-destroying heavenly punishment would be unleashed, annihilating his primordial spirit."

The Taoist priest spoke eloquently, sharing his views.

"That's true!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun and Qiankun Daoren nodded in agreement.

As time went by, more and more powerful individuals gathered here.

They gathered in twos and threes, discussing the transformation of the twelve-petaled Pure Land White Lotus.

Meanwhile, in the sky, Qin Ming was circulating the Undying Heavenly Art, constantly absorbing the divine light of heavenly punishment to make up for his own deficiencies.

The original body, which was already on the verge of advancement, experienced a surge in its origin as it was refined by divine light.

Gradually, a large amount of innate spiritual energy surged into the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus.

The twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus absorbed a great deal of innate spiritual energy, causing its leaves and roots to sway violently.

The thirteenth lotus leaf slowly unfolds.

"Wow, I got promoted!"

"Yes, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Punishment Divine Light Tribulation not only failed to harm him in the slightest, but actually caused his physical body to advance!"

"So, does that mean he has reached the level of a primordial god or demon?"

"Terrifying!"

The surrounding cultivators gasped in shock upon seeing this scene.

"This fellow Daoist is truly blessed. I wonder what kind of Dao he cultivates, that he can even devour the Heavenly Punishment Divine Light!"

"Yes, if we allow it to be insufficient in its origin, it may not be impossible to achieve the foundation of a top-tier innate god or demon."

"Every sip and every bite is preordained!"

"His original body spent hundreds of eons suppressing the earthly evil energy of the primordial world. Today, having succeeded, this fortune is truly deserved!"

Hongjun, the Daoist of Qiankun, and the Daoist of Yin and Yang stroked their beards and smiled faintly.

"What a fine thirteenth-grade Pure White Lotus! This person will surely become my greatest enemy in the future!"

Looking at the thirteen-petaled Pure White Lotus in the sky, Rahu recalled the lotus seeds he obtained on Mount Sumeru, which had only been catalyzed to the tenth petal. Rahu's expression became somewhat hidden.

White lotus and black lotus are two extremes.

The first is purification.

One is the Lord of Destruction.

The two are inherently opposites.

Now that Bai Lian has been promoted to a higher rank, his Black Lotus is not yet fully mature.

Under such circumstances, how could Rahu not harbor murderous intent?

"The Thirteen-Petaled Pure White Lotus—if I were to seize its origin, who in the primordial world could rival my ferocious beast race?"

A young man with a ferocious expression, wielding a god-slaying spear, hid in the sky, looking at the thirteenth-grade Pure White Lotus before him with nothing but greed in his eyes.

If the divine punishment in the sky hadn't yet dissipated, he might have already made his move.

He was none other than the ferocious beast king, Shen Ni.

In the sky, Qin Ming was unaware of what everyone was thinking. After advancing his rank, Qin Ming was still not satisfied. With a thought, he actually controlled his main body to enter the tribulation clouds.

Surrounded by calamity clouds, the white lotus was constantly struck by divine light of heavenly punishment.

However, no matter how hard the Heavenly Punishment Light exerted itself, it could not harm the White Lotus in the slightest.

The endless stream of divine light was devoured, and seeing that it could do nothing to the white lotus, the tribulation clouds could only retreat in frustration.

As the tribulation clouds dissipated, the Thirteenth Grade Pure World White Lotus shone brightly, its original lotus flower bloomed, and a lotus seed emerged. Under the nourishment of the source, it transformed into a young man who was eight feet tall, wearing a white lotus robe, with his hair tied up with a lotus stamen, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a cynical and carefree expression.

"This humble Daoist is Qin Ming, whose Daoist name is Jingshi. I greet all fellow Daoists!"

Qin Ming bowed respectfully and smiled faintly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jingshi. Today, as you undergo your tribulation and transform into human form, another great being has emerged in our primordial world!"

"If given the opportunity, I hope to have a discussion with Fellow Daoist Jingshi!"

"I am Hongjun, fellow Daoist. If you have the leisure, you are welcome to come to my Jade Capital Mountain to discuss the Dao!"

Upon seeing this, Hongjun and the others immediately returned the greeting.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was about to reply when a deadly sense of crisis struck him.

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically. Without replying, he quickly enlarged a bronze bell, which then hovered above his head.

When the bell rang, the world lost its color.

Waves of sound formed ripples that spread outwards.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ni's expression changed drastically, and his magical power surged rapidly: "World-Destroying Divine Spear!"

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion rang out in the air.

"Hmph, time-space confinement!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming snorted coldly and once again manipulated the Boundless Bell to imprison the surrounding time and space.

Having done all this, Qin Ming circulated his magical power, and in an instant, a hellish vortex of magical power condensed in Qin Ming's hand. With a sudden swing, the illusory image of Hengsha Hell attacked Shen Ni fiercely.
