Chapter 97 Red Flowers, White Lotus Roots, and Green Lotus Leaves

Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice: "It has been a long time since we last met. I thought that the second time we met would be when Saint Hongjun gave his second sermon. I didn't expect to meet again today. It shows that we are destined to meet."

Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were always on Nuwa. Nuwa naturally knew what these three people were afraid of, so she smiled slightly, took a few steps back, and showed that she had no ill intentions.

Nuwa said frankly, "Let's not beat around the bush, fellow Taoists Sanqing, I cultivate the law of the Great Dao of Creation, naturally hoping to obtain this Azure Lotus of Creation, but since you three have gone ahead, I have no excuse to take it. I only ask that you three can give me a few Azure Lotuses so that I can delve into the Great Dao of Creation. Nuwa will be grateful."

Nuwa was the first to speak, and the heavy atmosphere on the field finally eased a little. With Hengming's cooperation, the Three Purities finally relaxed.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled bitterly and said, "If it's just a few blue lotuses, then there's no problem. After all, the three of us brothers just want this Blue Lotus of Fortune. But there's only one Blue Lotus of Fortune, and we have three brothers. The Blue Lotus of Fortune is precious, but the friendship between brothers is more precious, so we don't know how to distribute it."

Heng Ming cast his gaze onto the Green Lotus of Creation and saw a ten-foot-tall green lotus proudly blooming. Although it was called the Green Lotus of Creation, it possessed three completely different powers.

One force lingers in the center of the lotus core, one force surrounds the white lotus roots in the pond, and another force lingers on the lotus leaves. The three forces are of different natures, yet they are vaguely blending with each other, which is very strange.

Laozi knew that Hengming had a broad vision, and wanted to ask him if he had any ideas that could allow the three brothers to each get some benefits without damaging their relationship.

Laozi asked, "Fellow Daoist Hengming is very wise, do you have any ideas?"

Heng Ming smiled and said, "I don't take your words seriously, and I can't say it's an idea. It's just an idea. Just listen to it."

The Three Pure Ones were very surprised after hearing this. They didn't know what Hengming was thinking. After all, they had been thinking about it for thousands of years but had not come up with a clue. It was really surprising that Hengming had thought of it not long after he arrived.

Heng Ming pointed at the green lotus and said, "Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the Three Pure Ones are originally one family. Three Taoist friends, why don't you wake up quickly!"

When Sanqing heard the words 'red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves', they were immediately struck by lightning, and a faint smile appeared on their faces. Hengming's words cleared the fog in their hearts and made them know what they should do.

Laozi pointed to the stamen of the Creation Green Lotus and said, "Red flower."

The bright and juicy pistil immediately flew out with the eighth-grade lotus petals, spun in the air, and turned into a black and white crutch, flying into Laozi's hand.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and reached out to grab the lotus root of the Creation Green Lotus: "White lotus root."

A section of pure white jade lotus root immediately flew out, also carrying the eighth-grade lotus petals. It turned into a pure white and translucent jade ruyi with three gems inlaid on the head, representing happiness, wealth and longevity respectively, and it kept hovering over Yuanshi Tianzun's body.

Tongtian laughed loudly and said to the lotus leaf: "Green lotus leaf!"

The green lotus leaf immediately flew up with the last eight-grade lotus petals and turned into a green sword. The sword was three feet six inches and five points long. A green lotus bloomed on the hilt. It danced in the air and instantly cut through countless cracks in space that could not heal for a long time, which showed how sharp it was.

Tongtian couldn't let go of the sword. After practicing Taoism for many years, he finally obtained a magic weapon for killing. How could he not be happy?

The Three Pure Ones looked at each other and laughed, "Red flowers, white lotus roots, green lotus leaves, the Three Pure Ones are originally one family."

Heng Ming waited quietly at the side. After seeing the Three Pure Ones divide up the spiritual root, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the three Taoist friends for obtaining the great treasure. I came forward to congratulate you."

Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely happy and felt that Hengming was a man who really pleased him.

He did not make anyone feel dissatisfied, yet made everyone satisfied, and at the same time resolved a big problem. Only such people are worthy of being his fellow Taoists and can gain his respect.

Yuanshi Tianzun stretched out his hand and waved, and all the green lotuses in the pond flew out immediately, splitting into five equal parts and flying into the arms of five people. Laozi and Tongtian were not dissatisfied with this, as the saying goes, whoever sees it, gets a share. Moreover, if Hengming hadn't enlightened them, they didn't know how long it would take them to figure out this problem.

Although these green lotuses are not as magical as the Green Lotus of Creation, they are also transformed from the lotus seeds dropped by the Green Lotus of Creation over the years. They are also considered innate, but their quality is not very good and cannot compare to the banana tree and the gourd vine.

“But that’s true. The banana tree and the gourd vine are both top-grade innate spiritual roots. The reason they can produce several top-grade innate spiritual treasures is that they evolved at the cost of their lives.

And these green lotuses are nothing but lotus seeds condensed from the spiritual energy absorbed by the twenty-fourth-grade Green Lotus of Creation. In essence, they are no different from spiritual fruits such as ginseng fruit and five elements fruit. They can be included in the list of innate fruits thanks to the power of the Green Lotus of Creation.

It seems that the previous life's statement was not too accurate. Yes, if the fruit of the spiritual root can also be transformed into a spiritual treasure, the richest people in the prehistoric world should be Zhenyuanzi and Zhunti. There are only a few innate spiritual treasures, how can they be created so easily? "Hengming has practiced for so many years, and the spiritual treasures he has obtained are only a few. If the lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus can also be transformed into a spiritual treasure, it will really be the first heaven-defying divine object in the prehistoric world.

Hengming figured out the problem and didn't worry about it. The same was true for Nuwa. She just wanted to use these green lotuses to comprehend the mysteries of the great way of creation within the green lotuses and didn't think about how useful they could be.

Without the suppression of these green lotuses, the pond gradually began to evolve its own mystery. Rays of starlight shone, as if the sun, moon and stars appeared in the pond at the same time, reflecting the boundless starry sky, and a vast vitality flourished.

Some wild grasses growing beside the pond began to grow wildly. Just swept away by this vitality, these weeds grew hundreds of feet into the sky, which shows the vitality of the water in the pond.

Nuwa had been immersed in the way of creation for many years, and she immediately recognized what kind of divine water the pond contained.

"This is the Three Lights Divine Water, which is a mixture of the Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water. The three kinds of divine water are extremely poisonous when separated, but if they are mixed together, they will become the number one holy object for healing and saving lives in the prehistoric world. It can even turn the dead back to life, and it won't be surprising if you drink a scoop, even if you haven't achieved immortality, you can live forever."

Hengming also had some impression of the Three Lights Divine Water, and said, "The Sunlight Divine Water consumes the blood, flesh, essence, and bones; the Moonlight Divine Water corrodes the soul; the Starlight Divine Water swallows up the true spirit and consciousness. Even if one is a Daluo Jinxian, being poured with any of these divine waters would take ten thousand years of cultivation to dissolve before he can be safe. I once accidentally obtained a few drops, and they have the same effect as what Daoist Nüwa said."

Logically speaking, this pond is the place where the Creation Green Lotus originated, and it also belongs to the Three Pure Ones. However, the Three Pure Ones are very generous and do not take these external objects of cultivation seriously at all. Tongtian said proudly: "As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. We can just divide the Three Lights Divine Water in this pond among us."

Laozi nodded with a smile. He was in a good mood today. He felt that Hengming was someone he could have a deep friendship with, so he would naturally not be stingy.

Hengming naturally would not refuse. He immediately took out a jade bottle and absorbed a large amount of the Three Lights Divine Water, then created a temporary space. It was easy for him to do so.

The same thing happened to the other four people. When the last drop of the Three Lights Divine Water was absorbed, only a thick layer of silt remained at the bottom of the pond.

Hengming suddenly had an idea and immediately wanted to take away the silt. Sanqing and Nuwa didn't care about the silt at all, so they let Hengming use his magical powers.

"What do you want to do with this mud, Fellow Daoist Hengming?" Tongtian asked curiously. Hengming smiled and said, "I like to grow some flowers and plants. This mud has been nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water for countless thousands of years. It can be regarded as the best mud. It would be great to take it back and plant flowers and plants. How about you and I share some?"

Tongtian immediately lost interest after hearing this. He has never liked these delicate jobs. Even the Shangqing Palace where he lived was built for him by Yuanshi Tianzun. Otherwise, he would have wanted to just live in a corner of Kunlun Mountain.

These things are too troublesome, it’s better to fight with others.

When Tongtian thought of the sword fight, he couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Daoist friend Hengming, why don't we discuss the Dao with the swords in our hands today, and continue the unfinished invitation from last time."

Heng Ming naturally had no objection, but just asked: "It is only a hundred years before the saint preaches. The two of us are just discussing the truth, not fighting. If we delay the preaching, it will be more trouble than gain."

Tongtian let out a long roar towards the sky, extremely excited, expressing his agreement. Laozi secretly sighed, but there was nothing he could do about his third brother. A golden light flashed past his head, and a small tower of thirty-six floors grew in the wind, instantly increasing to several thousand feet high.

Vast golden light filled the air, instantly illuminating the surrounding area with a golden glow. Billions of golden lights of merit shone everywhere, but the shining distance was only ten thousand miles. It was obvious that I didn't want the two of them to fight each other.

Naturally, there was no need for any polite words between the two of them. Tongtian took the initiative and slashed downwards with the Qingping sword in hand. The sharp sword energy suddenly came like a fine net, an incomparably fine and precise sword net.

Hengming smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed, countless silk threads spread out, also weaving into countless webs of fate and rushing towards the sword nets. As soon as the two nets touched, countless sword energy suddenly emerged from the sword nets, and in an instant the web of fate was cut into millions of strands.

Every piece of the web of fate that was cut took the opportunity to spread, trying to wrap the web again.

However, Tongtian was defeated by this move last time. He was just one move behind. How could he possibly break into the game so easily this time?

Not to mention that he now had the Qingping Sword in his hand, and he was able to perform sword skills like a fish in water. Every time he swung the sword, countless sword qi spread out, cutting all the silk threads like a sharp blade.

Hengming was not in a hurry to see that Tongtian had actually learned his lesson. He manipulated the Wheel of Destiny to slowly emerge from behind him. Compared with the fate map, the manipulation of the Wheel of Destiny seemed so inconspicuous, but as it was also his companion spiritual treasure, the power of manipulating the Wheel of Destiny was just beginning to emerge.

"A swordsman would rather break than bend. He is extremely strong and is the king of all weapons, a hero among kings. It's a pity that he is too strong and easily broken. The ending will only be a hero's short breath, a dead end, no joy, no happiness, only sorrow!"

Hengming let out a huge cry, and the wheel of destiny also showed its power as Hengming cried out. Dark red auras floated down from the void, sad winds howled, and cries of grief filled the ground. Countless dry bones formed a throne, and a vague figure sat on it, with a broken sword under his feet, which seemed to indicate a sad ending.

　One flower is equal to nine petals. I am so annoyed. I have to go to work tomorrow, so let me be lazy for a day. Thank you all for your audience.
