Chapter 46 3 Light God Water, Pure World White Lotus
Upon entering this place, in stark contrast to the austere and desolate atmosphere of Fangzhang Island, an indescribable freshness and sanctity, a powerful aura that seems capable of cleansing all the filth of the world and purifying the very essence of all things, immediately washes over you.
This aura is incredibly pure; one breath of it instantly refreshes the mind and spirit, as if cleansed by sweet rain, becoming crystal clear. Any obstacles that might have hindered one's cultivation in the past suddenly feel loosened.
Looking around, the core of the island is a jade pool formed by the purest innate spiritual energy. The water is crystal clear, yet it is also filled with a hazy, precious light.
In the center of the jade pool, a lotus flower floats quietly on the water's surface.
Its flowers are pure white and flawless, untouched by any dust. The lotus petals are of twelve kinds, layer upon layer, stretching freely. The texture is like that of the finest mutton fat jade in the world, carefully carved, yet it contains infinite vitality and spirituality far exceeding that of jade.
The entire lotus was enveloped in a soft and holy halo, which, as it flowed, exuded a supreme Taoist charm that purified all things and warded off all evil.
Above the lotus platform, faint Daoist runes appeared and disappeared, expounding the supreme principles of purification. It was none other than the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, one of the most precious innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world!
What caught Zhen Yuanzi's attention even more was the pool of divine water beneath the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus, which nourished its roots.
The pool water shimmered and sparkled with three dazzling lights: gold, silver, and purple!
The gold is as fiery as the sun in the sky, the silver is as cool as the moon in the sky, and the purple is as deep as the stars in the sky.
The three divine lights blended together perfectly, neither conflicting nor obscuring each other, but instead exuding a boundless, innate vitality and spiritual charm that nurtures all things.
This water is none other than the Three Lights Divine Water, hailed as the number one healing elixir in the primordial world, with miraculous effects of restoring flesh to bones and reviving the dead!
Even though Zhen Yuanzi was a man of great knowledge and experience, a powerful innate being who possessed an innate spiritual treasure like the Earth Book, a hint of amazement still flashed across his eyes.
These twelve-petaled Pure White Lotuses are truly an all-powerful treasure that combines defense, support, and enlightenment.
Its purifying aura can not only resist external demonic interference, but also assist cultivators in comprehending the Dao, making their minds clear, free from distracting thoughts, and making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
Its defensive power is even more astonishing. It sits on a lotus platform, protected by the radiance of the lotus, making it impervious to all magic and evil forces. Ordinary supernatural powers and spells cannot get close to it.
Even when used for offense, its purifying divine light can dissolve the opponent's supernatural powers and purify their magic power, which is truly mysterious and infinite.
The Three Lights Divine Water is even more wondrous. No matter how badly the physical body is damaged or how deeply the primordial spirit is injured, as long as a trace of true spirit remains, a drop of Three Lights Divine Water is enough to reverse life and death and restore one to the original state.
In addition, it has incredible effects in nourishing spiritual roots, refining magical treasures, and improving the quality of elixirs.
However, the great way is impartial, and fullness leads to decline. Such a divine object that defies the heavens naturally has its strict taboos.
The miraculous effects of this Three Lights Divine Water lie in the perfect fusion of sunlight, moonlight, and starlight. None of the three can be missing; the water must be kept in a balanced state of "all three lights present" in order to unleash its supreme healing power that can bring the dead back to life.
If the three are separated, or if any one of the divine waters is missing, its properties will immediately undergo a terrifying reversal, completely opposite to what they were before.
The golden sunlight water will transform into a deadly poison that erodes flesh and bone; the silver moonlight water will become a malevolent force that corrodes the primordial spirit and soul; and the purple starlight water will become a nightmare that devours the true spirit and consciousness.
From life-saving holy water to deadly poison, it all lies in the single thought of "unity" and "separation." It is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Even if an ordinary person obtains it, without the correct method, they will not be able to enjoy it and will instead suffer harm.
Zhen Yuanzi, with his profound Taoist cultivation, naturally knew all the key points.
With a thought, he carefully took out several containers that he had prepared in advance, specifically for holding top-tier spiritual objects, from his own space.
These jade bottles are crafted from the heart of a ten-thousand-year-old innate warm jade, making them incredibly warm and smooth, and best able to maintain the activity of spiritual liquid. Furthermore, the bottles are engraved with profound array patterns that stabilize energy and seal spiritual energy.
He formed mysterious hand seals, and the vast magical power within his body acted like the finest carving knife, drawing upon the Three Lights Divine Water within the Jade Pool.
The shimmering divine water transformed into a three-colored interwoven line, flowing smoothly and without a single drop being wasted into each jade bottle.
Each time a bottle was filled, Zhen Yuanzi would immediately apply several powerful seals and restrictions to ensure that the spiritual essence of the Three Lights Divine Water inside was not leaked out, and that the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars remained in perfect balance before being carefully stored away.
After carefully storing away the Three Lights Divine Water, which was enough to make any powerful being envious and fight over it, Zhen Yuanzi calmed his mind and focused his gaze on the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus in front of him, which was radiating a holy light.
Such innate spiritual treasures are not like the bitter bamboo, which can be obtained by guiding the Dao rhythm. One must spend a lot of effort to slowly refine them with one's own primordial spirit power, and imprint one's own primordial spirit imprint on their core restrictions before one can truly control their power and achieve a connection between mind and spirit, as if using one's own arm as one's own fingers.
He once again found a quiet place by the lotus pond and sat down cross-legged.
First, close your eyes and concentrate, regulate your breathing and internal energy, adjust your state to the peak, and make your mind clear as a mirror, calm and undisturbed.
Once his energy and spirit were fully replenished and harmonious, he slowly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the Pure World White Lotus.
The next moment, an extremely condensed primordial spirit power, containing the essence of his own Dao fruit and the origin of the earth, quietly emerged from the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows.
This divine power was pure and gentle, carrying the weight and inclusiveness of the virtue of Earth. Like the softest yet most resilient silk thread, or a babbling brook, it began to carefully touch and probe into the outermost layer of the innate restrictions of the Pure World White Lotus.
"Buzz—"
At first, the Pure World White Lotus flashed with a faint light and emitted a barely audible chirp. The lotus petals gently closed slightly, radiating a soft yet firm aura of resistance.
This is the inherent spirituality nurtured within the innate spiritual treasure itself, an instinctive rejection and self-protection against all external forces. A supreme spiritual treasure possesses its own inherent pride.
Zhen Yuanzi was neither impatient nor did he launch a forceful attack.
His spiritual power remained balanced and peaceful, slowly and gradually permeating and infiltrating with a gentle, persistent force.
His magical power was as vast as the sea, endlessly supporting the refining process. At the same time, when refining the first layer of restrictions, he did not use brute force to flush it away, but instead used his heart to feel and understand the original true meaning of the "purification" law contained in the restrictions.
Thanks to his previous understanding of the "transformation" principle of the Bitter Bamboo, the two have subtle commonalities in "purifying the mind" and "clarifying the Dao heart". At this moment, he can draw inferences from one instance to another, which makes his refining of the Pure World White Lotus less hindrance and more smooth.
Time once again lost its meaning in this profound refining process. The refining process was slow and extremely arduous.
As a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus has countless layers of restrictions inside, each one profound and containing the ultimate truth of the Great Dao of Purification.
Zhen Yuanzi not only had to expend a vast amount of magical power to gradually cleanse and refine these restrictions, but also needed to use his multitasking skills while refining each layer of restrictions, constantly understanding and comprehending the fragments of the Great Dao laws contained within them, and verifying them with his own Dao.
This is not only a test of magical power, but also an ultimate tempering of one's Taoist cultivation and comprehension.
His figure sat motionless, like an ancient mountain.
His aura changed from time to time, radiating a pure and holy light that originated from the same source as the white lotus. The light flowed and the power of purification permeated the air, complementing the essence of the Pure White Lotus.
At times, it is enveloped by its own pure, dark yellow earth-guarding divine light. That divine light is extremely thick, stabilizing the refining process and resisting the possible backlash of laws when refining profound restrictions.
Occasionally, fine beads of sweat, imbued with Dao principles, would seep from his forehead, but they would quickly evaporate with his own magical power.
During this seemingly endless period of meditation and refinement, Zhen Yuanzi's understanding of the "purification" path improved at an unprecedented rate.
Many of his previous doubts about exorcising evil, avoiding calamities, and refining his Dao heart suddenly became clear at this moment. At the same time, his magical power became more refined and condensed under the constant feedback and cleansing of the spiritual treasure's source power, like steel refined through a hundred temperings, removing the dross and retaining the essence.
The seemingly indestructible bottleneck that had stagnated at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for so long seemed to have taken a solid small step forward thanks to this opportunity and hard work.
Although there was still an indescribable membrane separating him from the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos, that membrane seemed to have become thinner than before, allowing him to glimpse a vague outline of the vast world behind him.
Finally, at the moment when it broke through the forty-eighth restriction, completely understood the last core source restriction, and imprinted its own primordial spirit on it, the entire twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus suddenly trembled, and its radiance instantly became inward, no longer radiating outward, but becoming warm and translucent, as if it had become one with Zhen Yuanzi.
It let out a clear and joyful chirp, like the first cry of a fledgling phoenix, clear and melodious, conveying a sense of recognition and closeness to its master.
Immediately, the white lotus transformed into a gentle and peaceful white stream of light, its size as desired, and flew up on its own, entering Zhen Yuanzi's brow and sinking into the deepest part of his vast and boundless sea of consciousness.
The lotus floated quietly beneath his powerful primordial spirit, slowly rotating and sprinkling down drops of light rain containing purifying holy power, gently nourishing and moisturizing the primordial spirit, making it increasingly clear and solid, so that all invisible inner demons, impurities, and external evils could not get close to it.
Thus, this supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Twelve-Petaled Pure World White Lotus—was completely refined by him, becoming another powerful protective treasure after the Earth Book transformed from the Earth's membrane!
It combines offense and defense, and can also assist in cultivation; its value is immeasurable.
Zhen Yuanzi exhaled a long breath of turbid air imbued with Daoist principles and slowly stood up.
Feeling the close, seamless connection emanating from the Pure World White Lotus in his sea of consciousness, even with his usually calm and unwavering Dao heart, a hint of undisguised satisfaction couldn't be hidden on his face.
He obtained the Bitter Bamboo on Fangzhang Island, gaining enlightenment on the profound mysteries of transformation; he acquired the White Lotus and Divine Water on Yingzhou Island, greatly increasing his strength. The rewards of this trip far exceeded his expectations.
His gaze swept across the void, seemingly able to pierce through it, and landed on the last immortal island, the one that resonated most with his origins and emanated the strongest call.
The acquisition of Fangzhang and Yingzhou is already a great blessing. What kind of opportunity, in harmony with his Great Dao, will the final Penglai nurture?
With a thought, the array patterns beneath his feet rippled once more.
