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

"Hiss, just what kind of grand formation is this, Daoist Master?"

When Ancestor Yangmei saw the great formation that Qin Ming had unleashed, he immediately gasped.

You must understand that we are currently in a state of chaos.

Qin Ming had only recently been promoted to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Even so, a large array was used to cut a narrow spatial rift in the chaos.

This power is almost comparable to a full-force attack from a powerful being at the seventh level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Hongjun was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, not because he was weak, but because the attack was far beyond his tolerance.

Most importantly, in that strike just now, Ancestor Yangmei saw his own path to enlightenment.

Just now, Qin Ming used the laws of time and space to operate the Heaven, Earth and Man Three Gods Array, which contained a rich amount of laws of time and space.

With the blessing of the Daoist principles within, Ancestor Yangmei entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

On the other side, Houtu, seeing Qin Ming's victory, smiled and transformed into divine light, arriving beside Qin Ming: "Congratulations on your victory, Brother Qin Ming."

"I expected this, there's nothing to congratulate!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming smiled faintly, waved his hand, and put away the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Zhuxian Formation Diagram.

"I have lost this battle. Please return my spiritual treasure!"

Hongjun, who had just stabilized his injuries, turned pale when he saw Qin Ming take away his spiritual treasure.

"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"

"These are my spoils of war; how can there be any talk of returning them?"

Qin Ming saw Hongjun's dark face and asked, feigning confusion.

"Fellow Daoist, don't go too far!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun was filled with rage.

They were just sparring, not fighting to the death. How could they take away his magical treasure and not return it?

"Too much?"

"Fellow Daoist, you were the one who challenged me. I accept the challenge. Do you expect me to accept no appearance fee?"

"Consider these magical treasures my appearance fee!"

"A great war that lasted for centuries, sigh, I'm getting old, I'll have to go back and have a good drink!"

Qin Ming stretched and looked at Hongjun with a contented expression.

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Hongjun was so angry that he gritted his teeth. What the hell is the appearance fee? What the hell is he getting old?

Is several hundred years a long time?

They usually take longer to even take a nap than these aristocratic families do.

But he had absolutely no way to deal with Qin Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, simply state your request; why put on such an act?"

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation had to be retrieved, and Hongjun could only suppress his anger and say calmly.

"Simple. Here you go: the Eastern Azure Lotus Banner, the Golden Water Spirit Pearl, the Celestial Auspicious Cloud, ten top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter, and the array diagram!"

Seeing Hongjun compromise, Qin Ming's lips curled up, and he stated his own conditions.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun's eyes widened immediately: "Fellow Daoist, why don't you just go and snatch it?"

"I'm robbing them!"

"So, these are the conditions. Do you want to trade?"

Qin Ming said it with a completely matter-of-fact expression.

"Whoosh!"

Hongjun looked at the shameless Qin Ming and immediately began to pant heavily.

After a long while, Hongjun tossed the Eastern Azure Lotus Banner and the Golden Water Spirit Pearl to Qin Ming.

After a pause and some further thought, Hongjun took out the Heavenly Celebration Cloud and a withered seed: "Fellow Daoist, I can only exchange the Heavenly Celebration Cloud and this seed with you. If you are not willing, then I don't need this deal."

"But fellow Daoist, don't forget that Shangqing Tongtian is related to the Great God Pangu. If you form a karmic bond with him, it will be something that the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram cannot repay in the future."

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Qin Ming remained indifferent.

Indeed, the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram are divinely ordained treasures of Shangqing Tongtian.

However, this is merely a divinely ordained treasure, not a treasure for attaining enlightenment.

Even without the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram, Shangqing Tongtian can still attain enlightenment.

Hongjun, on the other hand, was different.

He wanted to reap the fortune of Shangqing Tongtian, thus incurring a huge karmic debt to Shangqing Tongtian.

Aside from the Primordial Purple Qi, the opportunity to spread the Dao and achieve sainthood, only the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the array diagram can resolve this karmic debt.

Therefore, compared to himself, Hongjun was the most anxious one.

After all, if he cannot resolve the cause and effect, he cannot be in harmony with the Dao. If he cannot be in harmony with the Dao, why should he try to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao?

However, even though I know this.

Upon seeing the seed that Hongjun had taken out, Qin Ming felt a tremor in his spiritual sense: "What kind of seed is this?"

"The seed of the Primordial Lotus of Chaos!"

Hongjun spoke each word carefully.

"Just as I expected!"

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Qin Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He already knew that this seed was extraordinary.

However, since this seed had lost all its Daoist essence and vitality, he dared not be certain.

Hearing Hongjun's words, Qin Ming finally became completely certain.

Although this seed has lost all its Daoist essence and vitality, it does not mean that the seed has become completely useless.

You must know that he possesses three divine treasures: the Chaos Lotus Platform, the Chaos Breath Soil, and the Three Lights Divine Water. With careful cultivation, he might be able to restore the seed's Dao essence and vitality, and eventually allow it to blossom and bear fruit.

Originally, he was still pondering how to further evolve the Pure World White Lotus and improve his foundation.

After all, the Twenty-Four Grade Creation Lotus will inevitably decompose into the Dao-proving treasures of the Three Pure Ones.

If you take it yourself, you might have to pay an even greater price to repay this karmic debt in the future.

In addition, the lotus leaves of the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus were decomposed into hundreds or thousands of top-grade, high-grade, and mid-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Collecting them all is simply impossible.

But now, with this seed, if it is cultivated properly, along with the Five Banners and the subsequent acquisition of that supreme treasure, it may be possible to evolve the Thirty-Sixth Grade Pure World White Lotus to the level of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

However, accepting Hongjun's conditions would contradict his original plan.

The reason he proposed the conditions of the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds and ten top-grade innate spiritual treasures was not to make things difficult for Hongjun, but to take the opportunity to demand another spiritual treasure in Hongjun's possession.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ming gritted his teeth and said, "I want this seed!"

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds have been replaced with Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotuses!"

The Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus is a treasure from the Reincarnation Realm, a supreme treasure held by the Reincarnation Demon God.

It contains a profound law of reincarnation.

Now that Hongjun has attained enlightenment, Nuwa will begin creating humans to attain enlightenment after giving several sermons.

In other words, it is also urgent for Houtu to prove herself.

Currently, the Reincarnation Origin Avatar is only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Furthermore, the power of the Heavenly Dao grows stronger as time goes on.

Especially after Hongjun merges with the Dao, the authority of the Heavenly Dao will increase exponentially.

Therefore, if humanity and the earthly path are to be successfully opened up, they must do so before Hongjun merges with the Dao.

Only in this way can we thwart the plans of Heaven.

This is also the main reason why Qin Ming demanded the Twelve-Petaled Reincarnation Purple Lotus.
