Chapter 1: The Primordial World, the White Lotus Takes Human Form
In the East Sea lies a fairy island, shaped like a tiny square platform. The island is shrouded in mist and spiritual energy, its mountains and rivers shrouded in ethereal glow, and its vegetation imbued with divine light, truly a paradise on earth.
In the center of the island is a fairy pool, where the water blends gold, silver and purple, shimmering and sparkling. Auspicious mist condenses and lingers around the surface of the pool.
A white lotus grows in the pond, its petals like jade carvings, pure white as snow, unfolding in twelve layers, with three-colored halos flowing around the edges of the petals, echoing the ripples of the pond.
It is the famous Fangzhang Island, and the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus.
"Cultivation knows no time; transformation occurs in this very day."
The white lotus swayed gently, its ethereal murmur carrying a hint of lingering sweetness.
Wuchen, also known as the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus.
Countless years ago, he woke up one morning and became this white lotus.
Consciousness revived, and the Great Dao bestowed upon it the name: Wuchen (meaning "dustless").
At the same time, he also received cultivation methods and information about this world from the gifts of the Great Dao, and understood his own situation.
It turns out he traveled to the prehistoric world and became the twelfth-grade Pure White Lotus.
It's inevitable to feel disoriented at first.
After all, this is a primordial world where Taiyi are as common as dogs and Daluo are everywhere.
The aftershocks of battles between powerful beings alone could kill countless lives, let alone the immense calamities that could be caused by a mere disagreement, such as crashing into Mount Buzhou and shattering the primordial world.
However, the daze only lasted for a moment.
In the primordial world, strength reigns supreme, but even more important than strength is one's foundation.
The foothold determines the upper and lower limits.
The ultimate innate divine transformation is the Great Luo, which is the lower limit.
There may be no absolute upper limit, but if you don't have a solid foundation, it will be extremely difficult and require great perseverance and opportunity to even get close to someone else.
By the time you get to the threshold, others have already reached an unimaginable level.
The twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus was born from the thirty-sixth-grade Creation Green Lotus. Even though it has now degenerated to the highest grade innate level, it is still a top-tier origin in the primordial world.
Perhaps they cannot compare to stowaways like Hongjun and Luohou, but they are absolutely no less than innate deities such as the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Nuwa.
Having a solid foundation gave Wuchen confidence, allowing him to quickly adjust his mindset.
After countless years of dedicated cultivation, he has finally succeeded in entering the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and is about to take human form.
In addition to his magical powers and Taoist cultivation, he also comprehended two supernatural abilities.
Purification is the original power of the Pure World White Lotus, possessing the power to purify everything in the world, and Wuchen comprehended the Divine Light of Purification based on this.
The Divine Light of Purification possesses the power to purify all energy in the world.
In other words.
Once the purifying divine light is unleashed, Wuchen is unafraid of any magic or supernatural power.
Except for physical attacks.
Born from the Three Lights Divine Water, Wuchen possesses the divine essence of the Three Lights. Based on this, he comprehends the three laws of the sun, moon, and stars, and through these three laws, he comprehends the divine light of life and death.
Sunlight erodes flesh and bones, moonlight corrodes the spirit and soul, and starlight devours true consciousness and thought; this is death in the cycle of life and death.
The fusion of the three lights can revive the dead and heal the wounded, which is the remaining life.
These two supernatural abilities are both offensive and defensive, making them Wuchen's greatest reliance and his strongest foundation for traversing the primordial world.
Now that he has entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, it is naturally time for him to take human form.
"Buzz!"
As the white lotuses swayed in the pond, the spiritual energy of the entire Fangzhang Island seemed to be drawn in, rushing towards Wuchen, who had not yet taken form.
Under the nourishment of countless spiritual energies, bursts of radiant light bloomed from the lotus platform, instantly enveloping the entire Fangzhang Island without spilling out in the slightest.
Since the Heavenly Dao has not yet emerged and living beings have taken form, there is naturally no such thing as a Heavenly Tribulation.
When the afterglow fades.
A young man who looked to be around twenty years old, with a handsome and refined face, long silver-white hair, and wearing a white wide-sleeved fairy robe, sat upright on the lotus platform.
Just as the coffin lamp did not disappear after the lamp was transformed, the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus did not disappear with Wuchen's transformation.
However, they are interconnected and should not be used lightly, otherwise the Twelve-Petaled Pure World White Lotus will be damaged, and Wuchen will also suffer a certain backlash.
With a thought, Wuchen's lotus platform disappeared, but he remained seated cross-legged in the air.
His gaze fell downwards, landing on the pool.
"The Three Lights Divine Water is good, but I have no need for it. Let it remain here."
Fangzhang Island is a top-tier blessed land in the primordial world, and naturally also a top-tier training ground. Wuchen has no intention of abandoning this natural training ground.
Wuchen stood up, his divine sense sweeping out and enveloping the entire Fangzhang Island.
The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was in front of an island stele that was nine zhang and nine chi tall and three zhang and three chi wide, with strange runes and the three characters "Fangzhang Island" engraved on its body.
Wuchen sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet and began to refine the island tablet.
The Island Stele is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the core of Fangzhang Island. After refining it, one can control the island's protective array and freely enter and exit.
As a top-tier blessed land, Fangzhang Island naturally possesses an extraordinary protective array, a supreme innate concealment array that cannot be found by anyone but those with the right destiny.
Except for saints.
Behind the Refining Island Monument, Wuchen stood up and muttered to himself.
"It's time to go out for a walk."
In this era, the wilderness was full of treasures, so Wuchen naturally wanted to go out and try his luck.
As for the island...
There are some acquired spiritual roots, but let them grow freely.
A dojo needs decorations too, doesn't it?
Moreover, those spiritual roots also have the ability to autonomously draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Keeping it is beneficial and harmless.
With a thought from Wuchen, the great formation automatically cracked open.
Strangely enough.
The spiritual energy and divine light within the island did not leak out because of that opening.
Wuchen took a step forward, and the great formation closed instantly.
Even from the air, Wuchen could not detect the existence of Fangzhang Island; he could only sense its exact location through the refined island monument.
"Um?"
As if sensing something, Wuchen glanced to the west, his gaze piercing through space.
A heavily wounded black-robed Taoist stood on a twelve-petaled black lotus, holding a blood-red spear, his face contorted as he stared at a white-robed Taoist with an air of otherworldly grace.
"By the Great Dao above! I, Rahu, am willing to offer my flesh and soul as a sacrifice to transform into a celestial demon from beyond the realm."
From that time onward, the Dao and the Demon coexisted, waxing and waning, never to perish. The higher the Dao was, the higher the Demon was; the lower the Dao was, the stronger the Demon was; the lower the Demon was, the stronger the Dao…
Immortal Daoist's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to stop him, but the Great Dao had already lowered its eyes.
With the Great Dao looking down upon us, who dares to act recklessly?
"allow!"
As the sound of the Great Dao resounded, Rahu's body suddenly burst into flames.
His face showed signs of madness.
"Hongjun, before you depart, let me give you one last great gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, energy surged from the western earth.
"Damn it!"
Hongjun was shocked, but before he could react, terrifying energy suddenly erupted from the entire western underground.
"Rumble..."
The entire primordial world trembled under the terrifying energy impact, and the sound of the explosion even pierced out of the primordial world and reached into the chaos.
When the aftershocks of the explosion subsided and the dust settled.
Both Rahu and Hongjun have vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a devastated western land.
"The Black Lotus of Annihilation"
Wuchen withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself as he fell into deep thought.
