After the Skyfall

Chapter 685 Red Lotus
The pool in front of him exuded amazing life essence, which made people suspect that this was the legendary blood of the gods. Moreover, under the watering of such a huge amount of life essence, a red lotus was actually born.

The lotus platform was about ten feet in diameter, with twelve lotus petals, and looked like it was carved from pure gold, crystal clear and emitting a rosy glow.

But in fact, through observation, it was found that the red lotus actually grew out of the pond and had roots underneath. It was not formed naturally. It was just because this lotus was affected by the environment here for a long time, so it grew into the appearance of red gold.

"Incredible, this is a lotus platform born from heaven and earth, a treasure born and raised by nature." Xiang Xiangzi opened her eyes wide at this moment. Even though she was a cultivator at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm, she had never heard of such a wonder.

However, according to the records in the ancient scriptures of Tiandao Sect, it is said that after an enlightened person opens up a paradise, heaven and earth will interact, and natural treasures may be born in the paradise.

Most Taoist weapons can be refined artificially.

However, this natural treasure cannot be refined artificially, because natural treasures are formed with the heaven and earth as the furnace, nature as the worker, yin and yang as the charcoal, supplemented by the five elements, and after years of spring and autumn.

This place is a space of its own.

It is like a blessed land. With the irrigation of such a huge amount of life essence, even red gold stone men can appear. It seems possible that such treasures created by heaven and earth will appear.

"It's really incredible. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the legends in this ancient paradise are actually true." Xuan Yuezi was also surprised. Even though she had been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years, today was an eye-opener.

Xiang Xiangzi licked his lips and said, "There must be a corpse of a god in this pool, and this red lotus must be growing on the corpse of the god."

"How do you see that, Fairy?" Li Yi was also attracted by the red lotus, but he was not lost, but alert to his surroundings.

He was worried that there might be red-gold creatures guarding nearby, and that they might jump out and deal him a fatal blow at a critical moment.

It's better to be careful.

"The treasure of heaven and earth can only be born when the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are complete. There is a vast amount of life essence here, but it lacks the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. However, in this special environment, a red lotus has grown. This shows that the place where it took root must be a place where the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are complete."

Xiang Xiangzi said: "Among the heaven and earth, only humans can possess the energy of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, because the five internal organs of the human body represent the energy of the Five Elements, supplemented by the energy of life and death, and only then can the Yin Yang and the Five Elements be complete. However, the Yin Yang and the Five Elements of ordinary people are too little to give birth to this red lotus. Only the body of a god can provide enough nutrients."

"Taiyi, this red lotus has infinite good fortune and will be of great benefit to your practice and growth. I will get it for you today."

She sensed some kind of Taoist power at this moment.

It seems that this red lotus blooms for Taiyi, and no one else has the chance to see it. If you try to take it by force, you will suffer.

As for why, Xiang Xiangzi didn't know. At her level, she could only sense the Tao, but could not comprehend the heavenly secrets.

And the ascetics believe in the Tao very much.

So Xiang Xiangzi spoke directly and decided the ownership of the red lotus. At the same time, she tightly grasped the red gold sword in her hand, leaped up, and with the power of dragon and tiger, she slashed the root of the red lotus with one sword.

However, the red lotus only shook slightly, and its roots were not damaged at all.

"Even the red gold sword combined with the power of dragon and tiger can't cut down this red lotus?" Xiang Xiangzi was stunned, feeling unbelievable.

Although the red-gold sword in her hand was not a Taoist weapon, it was sharp and hard enough. Combined with the power of dragon and tiger, it was incredibly powerful. There was nothing that could not be cut. Even the top Taoist weapon could be torn open by her if she tried her best.

"I don't believe I can't get this red lotus."

Xiang Xiangzi was a little annoyed. She changed her weapon and used the black gold arrow as a sharp weapon to chop again.

The black gold arrow can even penetrate red gold. So far, there is nothing that red gold cannot destroy.

However, even though Xiang Xiangzi slashed with the black gold arrow, the red lotus in front of him only shook violently for a while and still did not fall down, but there was a small wound on the rhizome.

However, with the nourishment of the vast life essence, the wound healed quickly.

"No way, even a mountain master-level warrior can't hurt this red lotus?" Zhao Fangji and Jiang Mingtian couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this.

This red lotus doesn't look hard, but I didn't expect it to be so strange.

Li Yi was also stunned for a moment.

If he didn't know Xiang Xiangzi's strength, he would even find it hard to believe this scene.

Xuan Yuezi on the side was thinking and observing seriously, and then she said: "Xiang Xiangzi is back, right? We can't take this red lotus with our current means."

"Why?" Xiang Xiangzi turned around and asked.

"You said before that this red lotus absorbed the energy of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, combined with the creation of heaven and earth. I'm afraid that things within the Yin Yang and the Five Elements will find it difficult to hurt it in the slightest. If you want to take down the red lotus, you must have something outside of the Yin Yang and the Five Elements to cut it down."

Xuan Yuezi said: "Or an artifact that also possesses the energy of Yin Yang and the Five Elements and is more powerful than this red lotus can also take it away, but unfortunately, we do not have both conditions. We should discuss it with Taoist Priest Tu later to see if the inheritance of the Taoist Artifact Sect can refine such a Taoist artifact with all the Yin Yang and the Five Elements."

Xiang Xiangzi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he sighed and said, "You are right, only something other than Yin Yang and the Five Elements can cut down this red lotus, otherwise it cannot be taken away by force."

I didn't expect that a cultivator who had reached the peak of the Three Flowers Realm would one day be completely helpless against a red lotus.

what is this?
Going to a mountain of treasures and coming back empty-handed? It would be shameful to tell others about it.

"Fairy, maybe I can give it a try." Li Yi heard the conversation between the two and suddenly thought of something. He walked forward a few steps and then spoke.

"Taiyi, are you sure you can take this red lotus away?" Xiang Xiangzi asked in surprise.

Xuan Yuezi on the side also looked at him curiously.

Li Yi said: "I'm not very sure, but maybe it will work if I give it a try, because I have something other than the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements that the two fairies mentioned."

As he spoke, he took out a magic needle from the Five Elements Bracelet.

This magic needle is transparent golden in color, like a ray of sunlight, but it is extremely sharp. Just by taking it out and looking at it, the light it emits is enough to sting your eyes and cause extreme pain.

"Is this... a needle?" Xiang Xiangzi said with narrowed eyes.

Li Yi said: "This is Feimu's needle. It is not made of metal, wood or iron. It is condensed from the mythical creature Feimu. It should not be among the Yin and Yang and Five Elements. It is also extremely sharp. Maybe it can cut off this red lotus."

"Try it. This red lotus has fully bloomed. If you don't take it away now, it will gradually wither and die, and finally turn into lotus seeds." Xuan Yuezi said immediately.

Li Yi said nothing, and immediately moved his mind, controlling the Feimu needle to fly out instantly.

Like a ray of sunshine passing by, it disappears in an instant.

However, the next moment, a strange scene happened.

The red lotus, which even the red gold sword and black gold arrow could not cut down, fell down silently at this time.

"Success."

Xiang Xiangzi was overjoyed when she saw this scene. She immediately grabbed the red lotus from the air, wrapped it with her magic power and took it over.

soon.

A red lotus about ten feet in size fell in front of Li Yi.

But when he stared at it, he really couldn't see anything magical about it. The red lotus did not emit infinite light, nor did it display amazing power. It was just ordinary.

However, Li Yi knew that this was indeed a treasure, but it would take some time to study it in order to bring out its full effect.

"Taiyi, try to use the power of your soul to collect this red lotus." Xuan Yuezi suddenly suggested.

"Let me try." Li Yi did not put it into the Five Elements Bracelet, but a ray of light from his soul enveloped it.

But the next moment.

Something unexpected happened.

The red lotus suddenly vibrated, and then turned into a ray of light and flew straight towards Li Yi. In just a moment, the red lotus had sunk into his body and disappeared before his eyes.

Li Yi was stunned at this moment.

Because he felt that there was a red lotus in his mind, and his soul was sitting on this lotus platform.

A strange light emanated from the red lotus. After absorbing this strange light, Li Yi's soul continued to grow stronger.

"This..." Li Yi didn't know how to describe this feeling for a moment.

It's like a baby returning to the mother's womb, or like a soul flying into heaven.

Warmth, comfort and pleasure.

Moreover, he also had an incomparable sense of security, as if his soul was protected by this red lotus, and no harm could hurt his soul in the slightest.

"A treasure related to the primordial spirit?" Xuan Yuezi nodded slightly upon seeing this, and he understood some of the uses of this red lotus.

If she guessed correctly, Li Yi's soul was being protected and nourished by this red lotus.

As long as this red lotus remains in his body, his spirit will continue to grow stronger.

Even if you lie down to sleep in the future, the flower of your soul will bloom sooner or later. There is no need for deliberate practice at all. Moreover, with the protection of this red lotus, your soul will be almost worry-free.

There are probably only a handful of people in this world who can break the Red Lotus and hurt Li Yi's soul.
