Chapter 216: Twenty-Fourth Pure White Lotus
The Pure White Lotuses contain the Dao of Purification, capable of purifying all the filth in the world.
And the Ruins of Return is the largest gathering place of filth in the primordial world. Planting this lotus here might have unexpected effects.
Thinking this, Feng Zichen waved his hand, throwing the Pure White Lotus seeds into a viscous liquid.
The liquid was black and viscous, constantly writhing, and emitting a foul stench—the most filthy thing imaginable, enough to make anyone nauseous at first glance.
The Pure White Lotus seeds, however, were different. They were pure white, crystal clear, radiating a milky white light, highlighting their noble and holy nature.
"Rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, cleansed by the clear water yet not becoming seductive!"
This phrase perfectly describes the Pure White Lotuses at this moment!
The Pure White Lotus seeds, upon falling into the viscous liquid, were not contaminated. Instead, they bloomed with brilliant white light, absorbing all the incoming liquid, turning it into nutrients for their growth.
In no time, the viscous liquid was completely absorbed by the Pure White Lotus seeds. After absorbing this power, the Purifying Lotus Seed also underwent a change.
"Crack!"
Accompanied by vibrant life, the Purifying Lotus Seed cracked open, sprouting roots, and a tender shoot emerged, its body radiating divine light.
As the shoot swayed, wisps of creation energy dripped down, forming a small pool of milky white water beside it.
This was the Creation Elixir, a highly condensed form of creation energy.
This was the power of the Purifying White Lotus: purifying all impurities and transforming them into the purest creation energy.
"It works!"
Seeing that the Purifying White Lotus had its effect, Feng Zichen was overjoyed. Immediately, he took out twenty-three more Purifying White Lotus seeds and scattered them forward.
He had no shortage of Purifying White Lotus seeds. On Penglai Island, there was a pond of Purifying White Lotuses growing, producing many seeds.
Of course, the effect of these seeds from the original Purifying White Lotus was far inferior to that of the seeds produced by the parent plant. Most of the lotus seeds could only be used as innate spiritual medicines and could not grow into innate spiritual treasures.
Only the thirty-six original lotus seeds, possessing innate Daoist essence, could grow into innate spiritual treasures.
Moreover, even the most primordial ones among them could only reach the level of mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, hardly of any practical use.
However, they were quite suitable as gifts.
Therefore, Feng Zichen took twenty-four lotus seeds and carried them with him, intending to bestow them upon the prodigies of the human race at an appropriate time.
Unexpectedly, before even being given away, they came in handy here.
Instantly, one after another, Pure White Lotuses bloomed in the void, a total of twenty-four, noble and holy, radiating the divine light of creation, gentle and warm.
Then, this divine light of creation merged into one, purifying all the filth surrounding it and transforming it into the energy of creation.
It forcefully carved out a pure land in this desolate place of Guixu.
Like a ray of light in the darkness, these shimmering, vibrant lands of creation stood out starkly against the gloomy, desolate Ruins of Return.
As if sensing the anomaly, the aura of the end within the Ruins surged, unleashing a massive tide that relentlessly rushed towards the Pure World White Lotuses, attempting to destroy them.
While the Pure World White Lotuses were extraordinary, their power was utterly insignificant compared to the entire Ruins of Return, utterly incomparable.
Under the onslaught of the annihilating tide, the divine light of creation shattered repeatedly, and the newly born aura of creation was obliterated by the lands of the end.
Even the Pure World White Lotuses were shaken and trembled, on the verge of destruction.
"World Tree, go!"
Without hesitation, Feng Zichen pointed at the World Tree, drawing upon its World Origin and channeling it into the Pure World White Lotuses to accelerate their growth.
The physical body of the Chaos Demon God contained immense power; even if the World Tree couldn't fully refine it immediately, refining only a portion was enough to cause it to transform, giving birth to streams of World Origin.
"Buzz..."
With the help of the World Origin, the Pure World White Lotuses trembled violently. Their growth accelerated, constantly growing taller, sprouting lotus leaves, growing buds, and finally blooming into a sixth-grade flower. In an instant, twenty-four sixth-grade Pure World White Lotuses shone brightly, emitting a fragrant aroma, their divine light of creation dazzling, carrying mysterious runes, forming a phantom of a twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus in the air.
A vast power descended, blocking the ever-flowing End Land, fixing their swaying bodies and firmly rooting them in the Ruins of Return.
The divine light of creation reconverged, forming an even stronger space of creation once more.
However, learning from the previous lesson, this space is extremely small, only tens of thousands of miles in radius, yet it is countless times more stable than before.
"Indeed, although this place is small, it is like a nail, firmly fixed in the Ruins of Return, laying a solid foundation for my future control of the Ruins of Return."
Looking at the creation space before him, Feng Zichen's expression brightened with joy, and he said happily.
As time passes, the power of the Pure World White Lotus will grow stronger and stronger, and the range of the creation space will also expand.
One day, it will grow to the point of influencing the entire Ruins of Return.
Not only that, Feng Zichen also plans to find a time to transplant a pond of Pure World White Lotuses from Penglai Island to the Ruins of Return.
At that time, with hundreds of Pure World White Lotuses working together, the speed at which they purify the Ruins of Return will undoubtedly be greatly accelerated.
Moreover, purifying the Ruins of Return has other benefits!
The foul air within the Ruins of Return, which may be harmful to others and refuse to approach even a little, is the best tonic for the Pure World White Lotus.
Long-term absorption can enhance their innate essence and grant them the opportunity for advancement.
The Pure White Lotus also alleviates the pressure on the Void of Return, delaying the arrival of the cosmic calamity.
The primordial universe is not static; it too has its own tribulations.
Beginning, prosperity, and decline—these three stages are the inevitable processes of world development.
Currently, the primordial universe is in its early prosperous stage.
Therefore, the laws of heaven and earth are exceptionally active, with numerous Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints.
However, as the world develops, it will inevitably enter a period of decline. At that time, the Void of Return will erupt, and the aura of finality will sweep across the entire world, bringing the cosmic calamity to its end.
The Pure White Lotus purifies the impure aura, alleviates the pressure on the Void of Return, and delays the arrival of the cosmic calamity, which will undoubtedly earn it the favor of the primordial world and bring immense benefits.
Boom!
Just as Feng Zichen was anticipating the future, another change occurred within the Void of Return, and a vast power surged around the Creation Space.
This anomaly finally attracted the attention of the will of the Void of Return.
It looked towards this place!
At this moment, Feng Zichen couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Having briefly served as the Lord of the Void, he knew all too well the terrifying power of the Void's will.
If it wanted to destroy the Pure World White Lotus, even the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus itself couldn't stop it, let alone these mid-grade innate spiritual treasures before him.
