Chapter 93: Mystic Light Shatters the Demonic Phase, the Primordial Lotus Appears

Hazy and indistinct, countless strange auras wrapped around him, pulling him toward the terrifying feeling of a collapsing world, the chaos of the end.

This was real fear.

Lin Yuan felt from deep within that this was no illusion. He definitely would die!

The Extradimensional Demons who came this time far surpassed previous demons, shifting between imaginary and real, amplifying the art of luring inner demons to a terrifying level.

They had already employed true Scattered Immortal-level, even Earth Immortal-level inner demon techniques.

Within the Yuanling Hall, many True Inheritors, caught off guard, instantly fell. Some laughed wildly, others were filled with boundless sorrow, some had eerily complex expressions… Even Sun Xian beside him wore an expression mingling grief and joy, who knew what she was experiencing.

From beginning to end, Lin Yuan’s expression never changed.

The inner demons grew increasingly terrifying, but he too was progressing every moment. A golden aura and red flames appeared in his palm. A golden lamp that could illuminate ten directions, countless worlds like grains of sand, manifested. Its pure, wondrous light swept gently, immobilizing all sorts of weird inner demons.

With a sweep of his large sleeve, a Yin-Yang Mystic Light of interweaving black and white, deep and ethereal, drifted out. It surged through all the demonic illusions. The demonic energy fell apart, shattered, and turned into faint black smoke under the black-and-white mystic light.

It was as if a curtain had been violently torn open a crack.

The Yuanling Heavenly Pool suddenly appeared before his eyes.

In an extremely short time, Lin Yuan had broken through the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight sealing him!

Within the Yuanling Hall, the overwhelming End-Slaying Dao Swordlight blocked all perception. Even other Celestial Immortals circulating their spiritual senses could only perceive the movements of some disciples.

Yet Daoist Hanjing saw everything within the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight with crystal clarity!

“The method of opening and closing through Yin and Yang?”

Daoist Hanjing’s expression was cool as he secretly pondered.

“This is somewhat interesting. It seems this boy’s Dao attainment and fortune are both unexpectedly extraordinary!”

At that very moment, Daoist Hanjing’s gaze shifted slightly, and a glint of sharp light instantly appeared in his eyes.

Where his sight fell, he saw that after breaking free from the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight, Lin Yuan had appeared by the Primordial Lotus Pool. He merely swept a glance at the pool. Then a strand of golden aura and red flame appeared in his hand, and a spiritual fire burst into raging flames within the Primordial Lotus Pool.

It reduced the many Primordial Lotus flowers within the pool to ashes.

Seeing this, Daoist Hanjing not only wasn’t perturbed, but instead gave a slight approving nod.

After the Primordial Lotus Pool was destroyed, like a painting turning to ashes, a real path was revealed. Lin Yuan flicked the wick of his treasure lamp with his finger, a spark flashed, and his figure walked out from the passage with utter ease.

Not long after Lin Yuan was the first to emerge from the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight, a faint red light shot forth. Within the flames, a Fortune and Prosperity Pearl spun rapidly, easily breaking free of the demonic entanglement. A composed and stern figure walked out from the seal of the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight.

He was enveloped in a halo of blessing and virtue.

His clear, bright voice followed.

“Red flowers and green leaves always complement each other; Candlelight and its dying flame are inseparable. Much rain does not wet the desert; A person of true Dao has virtue complete. Dao is the root from which virtue grows; Virtue is born from within the Dao. Virtue is Dao’s manifestation used within Dao; The two aid each other, not standing alone. When virtue is complete and Dao work achieved, then there is Dao and virtue!”

Yan Qing had also broken through!

His speed was very fast, second only to Lin Yuan.

Hearing that clear voice, Daoist Hanjing remained expressionless, his gaze falling on the treasure pearl before Yan Qing.

Yan Qing pursued the Path of Blessing and Virtue, one of the Five Virtues of the Great Dao. By cultivating an Innocent True Infant, he had formed a Banner of Gathering Fortune and Blessings, which specialized in restraining end-destiny methods. That he could emerge so quickly didn’t surprise Daoist Hanjing at all.

Moreover, this person also had another fortunate encounter, having obtained the Life-Bound Treasure of an ancient Fortune and Prosperity True God—the Fortune and Prosperity Origin Pearl. Even if a Heavenly Demon King’s true body descended, it would be difficult to bewilder this person in a short time.

But the restrictions on the Primordial Lotus Pool were extraordinary. He had placed an end-destiny restriction there, capable of temporarily suppressing and diminishing the light of various treasures and spiritual objects, even the power of one’s fortune. Without profound Dao attainment or an exceptional Dao Heart, disciples found it extremely difficult to pass.

By the Primordial Lotus Pool, when Yan Qing first saw the pool, his heart and mind swayed uncontrollably. Step by step, he walked toward the Primordial Lotus Pool.

After a few moments, his steps halted. A struggle showed on his face—sometimes ferocious, sometimes frenzied, sometimes cold and ruthless… After a moment, it gradually turned calm. When he opened his eyes to look toward the Primordial Lotus Pool, he was unmoved. A pale red immortal light swept from his hand, violently shredding the Primordial Lotus Pool to pieces as he strode out from the ashes.

Daoist Hanjing held his wine flask, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Many within the Chengyuan Immortal Sect placed high hopes on Yan Qing!

Among this generation of True Inheritance Disciples, Yan Qing indeed had the potential to be the first to achieve Earth Immortal, the first to achieve Celestial Immortal, to help the sect overpower the True Inheritors of other Dharma Lineages!

The Five Virtues are Holiness, Dao, Merit, Blessing, and Hidden Virtue. To gather blessings and virtues upon oneself is extremely inconceivable!

Daoist Hanjing’s attention instantly returned to the Primordial Lotus Pool.

The Primordial Ancestral Lotus within the Primordial Lotus Pool was actually born bearing innate blessings and virtue. Yan Qing was probably very likely to gain the recognition of that Primordial Ancestral Lotus.

As Yan Qing emerged, some True Inheritors from the other Twelve Dharma Lineages, such as the outstanding talents Xu Yan, Feng Ziyu, and Yi Yuan, followed one by another, walking out from the seal of the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight.

Yang Miaozhen was among them.

By the Primordial Lotus Pool.

Lin Yuan was the first to appear beside the Primordial Lotus Pool. He saw many jade lotus flowers swaying within the pool. They weren’t of a single color; there were red lotuses, white lotuses, purple lotuses, blue lotuses, and many other varieties.

They shimmered with various kinds of light.

But among Primordial Jade Lotuses, the white ones are the purest and most precious.

Looking intently, Lin Yuan saw strands of Innate Spiritual Light swirling above each lotus flower. He felt his Primordial Spirit’s power was unprecedentedly clear and pure. Bathed in this Innate Spiritual Light, many distracting thoughts on his Primordial Spirit dissolved. Cultivation here would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

“What fine treasures!”

Lin Yuan softly sighed. Even with his nature that was nearly that of an Innate Divine Demon, he still felt this way. Other cultivators who plucked a Primordial Lotus could imagine the benefits.

And for cultivators practicing the Path of Innate Blessing and Virtue among the Five Innate Virtues, they probably would value this even more.

There were quite a few Primordial Lotuses in the Primordial Lotus Pool. But the most precious was the huge twelve-petalled Primordial Ancestral Lotus at the center. Under his gaze, the supremely pure twelve-petalled Primordial Ancestral Lotus emanated a rich, pure, and holy treasure light, extraordinarily mystical.

As Lin Yuan appeared by the poolside, it gently swayed, revealing two pure white, jade-like, shimmering Primordial Lotus Seeds.

If Lin Yuan wished, he could at any moment pluck this most precious twelve-petalled Primordial Ancestral Lotus!

However, Lin Yuan didn’t fancy that Primordial Ancestral Lotus. Although it was supremely precious, after being nurtured here for millennia, it had already absorbed much Acquired energy and had exhausted its potential.

Instead, his eyes lit up with joy at the Primordial Lotus Seeds born from the lotus’s original essence.

The Primordial Lotus Seeds nurtured by the Primordial Ancestral Lotus had deep roots and origins, containing the pure wonder of the Primordial. They possessed a thread of mellow Grotto-Heaven origin force, making them extremely suitable for cultivation.

If he could find several more types of Primordial True Water in the Primordial World, they definitely wouldn’t stop at being ordinary Primordial treasures; becoming an Innate Spiritual Treasure was not impossible!

With this thought, Lin Yuan casually pointed. One of the jade-white Primordial Lotus Seeds nurtured within the Primordial Ancestral Lotus suddenly flew out, landed within the Innocent Spiritual Light above Lin Yuan’s head, and was drawn into the Twenty-Four Dao Charts to be slowly nurtured.

At the same time, Lin Yuan’s gaze moved as he saw Yan Qing also walk out from the End-Slaying Dao Swordlight over there!
