Chapter 12: Planting a Green Lotus in the Dantian, Hongjun Proves the Dao
Wuchen sat cross-legged on the stone platform, his spiritual energy flowing around him like the tide, surrounded by the divine light of various laws, and golden light faintly appeared in his meridians.
Suddenly, he made a profound hand seal with his fingertips, and a pure and refreshing power originating from his soul emanated from his body and slowly sank into his dantian.
The dantian was a chaotic mess, yet a shimmering white divine light rose and fell within it.
It was the twenty-fourth grade Chaos White Lotus.
"Only with the Chaotic White Lotus as its foundation can the root of the Great Dao be established."
The thought of Wuchen descended.
The chaotic white lotus suddenly disintegrated, transforming into rays of divine light that dispelled the chaos in the dantian, creating a vast ocean.
The divine light transformed into "seawater," flowing to every corner of the body.
The Chaos White Lotus was originally Wuchen's original form, but at this moment it actively disintegrated and completely merged with him, thus creating the Chaos White Lotus, a supreme innate treasure in the world.
"Using the Primordial Lotus as a bridge, it connects the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and nurtures the origin of the Great Dao."
Wuchen's thoughts stirred again.
The twenty-four-petaled Creation Lotus hovering around his body suddenly transformed into a beam of azure light, entered his body, and sank into his dantian.
Boundless spiritual energy gathered, and Wuchen's dantian trembled violently.
Nourished by the immense spiritual energy, the Twenty-Four Petals of Creation Lotus took deep root in the vast ocean that had just been opened up.
The various laws that Wuchen had comprehended were now manifesting in his dantian.
Thirteen of them transformed into divine light of laws, surging into the green lotus.
Suddenly, the blue lotus shone with divine light.
As the lotus platform sways, lotus holes emerge from it.
They only stopped when thirteen holes had been formed.
And within each of those thirteen lotus holes, a divine light of law is contained.
Creation, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Time and Space, Life and Death, Purification, Annihilation, Karma, and Merit—the thirteen laws of divine light reside in their respective abodes, yet are interconnected.
"Only by using fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation as seeds and incorporating the myriad rules into the dantian can one achieve the power of creation."
With a thought, Wuchen felt a surge of energy, and the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc transformed into a stream of light that entered his body, then split into thirteen pieces in his dantian.
Thirteen beams of azure light precisely entered each hole of the Creation Lotus.
In an instant, strange phenomena appeared in his dantian.
Ripples spread across the calm sea as the twenty-four lotus petals slowly unfurled, merging the power of each rule with its corresponding law.
The principles of the four elements—earth, fire, water, and wind—are integrated into the lotus petals, giving the blue lotus the foundation to bear all things.
The rules of spacetime entwine the lotus stem, allowing the dantian to become its own independent world.
The rules of life and death permeate the lotus heart, giving the Great Dao the vitality of reincarnation.
The power of purification cleanses impurities.
The power of annihilation suppresses evil spirits.
The power of karma tempers the Dao body.
The power of good deeds accumulates blessings.
The power of creation gives birth to all things.
Laws and rules intertwined within the blue lotus, and the lotus petals gradually closed together.
It transformed into a flower bud.
Plant lotus in the dantian, nurture the Great Dao, forge the Dao body, and achieve immortality.
When the flowers bloom, that is the time to break through to the Great Luo realm.
The day the lotus ripens will be the day when Wuchen attains the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
With the rules of the Jade Disc of Creation as his source, these two realms pose no obstacle to him; all that is needed is time to grow.
The key is whether he can cultivate his own Dao origin as expected.
This is the method of cultivating the Tao.
What we are nurturing is the great path and the opportunity; success or failure lies in the process of nurturing.
Wu Chen's lips curled into a faint smile.
Success or failure is uncertain, but at least there's a glimmer of hope, which is better than going down a dead end.
Speaking of which...
Even Hongjun changed the name when he created the Three Corpses Path, so it is inconvenient for me to follow the old method.
Mastering the Way is paramount; nurturing the Way is supreme.
The Dao Venerable corresponds to the Primordial Golden Immortal, and the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal is the Dao Lord.
The Great Way... we'll talk about that another time.
Just as Wuchen settled on the name of his realm, a terrifying pressure suddenly swept across the primordial world.
"Lying high above the nine heavens, I find the true Tao on my futon."
"Beyond the mysteries of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme leader."
"Pangu gave birth to Taiji, from which Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols followed."
"One teaching is passed down to three friends, and the two schools of Chan and Jie are divided."
"The leader of the Xuanmen, one Qi transforms into Hongjun."
Purple clouds rise from the east for 30,000 miles, and the sage's might sweeps across the primordial world.
All living beings in the primordial world were terrified.
The terrifying pressure prevented them from even having the slightest thought of resistance.
They could only bow and offer their congratulations in the direction they sensed.
In the void, a fleeting figure stood on the air, its form blurred and indistinct, only an ancient and boundless aura, surpassing all paths, permeating the heavens and earth.
He simply stood there quietly, yet he seemed to be the root of heaven and earth, the source of all things.
Hongjun's gaze swept across the primordial world, his voice indifferent yet resounding throughout the Three Realms: "Three Yuanhui later, the Zixiao Palace will open, where the Dao will be preached and the Dharma transmitted. Those with affinity may come to listen."
Pangu Hall.
Di Jiang frowned, his eyes were icy, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
It matches up.
The first point mentioned by that person: reincarnation of a demon god to attain enlightenment.
"Brother!"
Zhu Rong and the other ancestral witches all looked at Di Jiang, waiting for him to make a decision.
The situation is already quite clear.
The other party even accurately predicted Hongjun's attainment of enlightenment, so there was no need to verify anything else.
The calamity of the Witch Clan must be true.
However, there is still a long way to go before one can attain enlightenment.
The Wu tribe must make plans as soon as possible.
Dijiang thought for a moment and said, "Let's withdraw from Buzhou to avoid conflict."
Xuanming asked, "Where to?"
She had no objection to leaving Buzhou Mountain, but the question was where she would go after leaving.
Houtu said, "The depths of the Blood Sea may be a suitable place to go."
The opportunity for her to attain enlightenment lay deep within the sea of blood, and now that the Witch Clan needed to retreat, the depths of the sea of blood were naturally the best choice.
"Alright, let's go to the depths of the Blood Sea."
Dijiang agreed without much thought.
The Blood Sea is a place where the filth of the primordial world is collected, and its depths are rarely visited by humans, making it a perfect place for the Wu tribe, who want to avoid conflict, to live in seclusion.
In the west, Mount Sumeru.
As Jieyin gazed eastward, he guessed that Hongjun was probably the one his senior had mentioned who owed the West a debt, and also the one who owed him a primordial treasure.
However, since the other party has already attained enlightenment, this bamboo pole will likely be difficult to break.
"Brother, let's set off quickly."
Zhunti walked over, his expression filled with anticipation for the sage's sermon.
Jieyin shook his head: "No, we're not going."
"what?"
Zhunti was completely dumbfounded; that was the first saint of the prehistoric world!
How could we miss such an opportunity as a sage preaching the Way?
"Just trust me."
Jieyin was unwilling to explain further, nor did he dare to.
"Alright."
Zhunti vaguely guessed what was going on, so he nodded in agreement.
Kunlun Mountain.
Lao Tzu stood before the Tushita Palace, gazing in the direction where Hongjun had disappeared.
One word can be passed on to three friends.
The "three friends" mentioned here must refer to the Three Pure Ones, right?
Is he the "heaven" that Senior Danyangzi spoke of?
A sage preaching may be a matter of chance, but it is not convenient to go and listen to it.
Tongtian also realized the problem.
After a moment of contemplation, he chose to sit quietly in Biyou Palace.
They had no intention of going to hear the sermon.
"Eldest brother, third brother, let's hurry up and set off, or we'll miss out on good seats. We must not miss this opportunity to hear the sage preach."
The voice of the Primordial Beginning resounded simultaneously in the ears of Laozi and Tongtian.
Tongtian said calmly, "I won't go."
Lao Tzu echoed, "I'm about to break through, so I won't join in the fun."
Yuanshi: "???"
