Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

Having made his decision, Kong Xuan immediately descended from the clouds, put Zhitong into his sleeve, and, with a focused mind, quietly made his way towards the mountainside.

The higher one goes, the more imposing the aura of the great god Pangu becomes.

That vast and boundless aura, originating from the creation of the world, seemed to permeate every wisp of mountain wind and every rock, pressing heavily on my heart.

"If I were still at the Golden Immortal level, just resisting this pressure would probably consume most of my mental energy," Kong Xuan thought to himself. "Since Heaven has brought me here, there must be an opportunity waiting for me."

"Unless one reaches the Taiyi realm, it's likely that even after ten thousand years, it will be difficult to sense the mysteries of this place."

Following that mysterious pull, he traversed through treacherous peaks and secluded valleys shrouded in mist for months, finally finding the entrance to a primordial grand formation.

With his past experience in breaking formations and the protection of several magical treasures in his possession, he managed to pass through the formation without any major incidents, despite some setbacks.

The scene within the formation suddenly became clear.

Before my eyes, countless streams rush forth, waterfalls cascade like an inverted Milky Way, a thousand cliffs vie for beauty, and strange peaks rise like jade bamboo shoots reaching the sky.

After the rain, the sky was clear and blue, and the cliffs shone with moisture.

A gentle breeze rustles through the pines, creating a vibrant and lively scene.

Flowers bloom eternally throughout the four seasons, and fruits ripen forever with fragrance.

Auspicious clouds spread like a brocade carpet, while swirling clouds weave a magnificent canopy in the sky.

Looking down, a celestial lake lies nestled among the mountains, covering an area of ​​no more than a hundred miles, yet it seems to have absorbed all the beauty and wonder of heaven and earth.

The pool water was crystal clear, as cold as ice, and its shimmering surface seemed to shimmer with fragments of gold and silver.

Upon closer inspection, the pool reveals a vibrant interplay of three colors: shimmering gold, flowing silver, and solidified purple. Gold contains purple, silver contains gold, and purple hues entwine with silver, all intertwined and endlessly regenerating.

"Could this be... the Pool of the Three Lights Gods?"

With a slight thought, Kong Xuan stepped forward to examine the scene closely. A surge of boundless vitality mixed with a chilling Daoist aura greeted him, and he immediately understood.

This pool was formed from the skull of the great god Pangu, and the divine water in the pool is divided into three types: sunlight, moonlight, and starlight.

Sunlight Divine Water erodes flesh and bones, Moonlight Divine Water corrodes the primordial spirit and soul, and Starlight Divine Water swallows and dissolves true spirit and consciousness. All three, when separated, are potent poisons capable of killing even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, once the three waters are combined, the toxicity is reversed, and it becomes the number one healing medicine in the primordial world, containing infinite vitality. It can cure all poisons, heal all injuries, and even repair the physical body and primordial spirit, and even nourish the innate spiritual root and improve the grade of spiritual treasure.

In the future, Nuwa created humans by mixing this water with the soil of the Nine Heavens and sprinkling it with gourd vines. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun also used the Three Lights Divine Water to protect the city during a great calamity.

Thinking of these two future sages, Kong Xuan already had a plan in mind.

"We must not take it all, lest we incur great karmic consequences." He pondered for a moment, "Take four-fifths of it and leave one-fifth here; that should be enough for the two sages to use in the future."

The rest will be of great benefit to me in refining spiritual treasures, cultivating spiritual roots, healing injuries, and comprehending the Dao of Creation.

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. A faint light shimmered in his sleeve as he carefully began to collect this pool of divine water that had captured the essence of heaven and earth.

However, just as the pool water was nearly half collected, Kong Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Deep within the pool, something was hidden and emerged.

When he looked closely, he saw a pure white lotus seed floating quietly, radiating boundless pure divine light, as bright as the flowing moonlight, as clear as the condensed frost and snow.

A delicate lotus fragrance permeated his mind, and in an instant, Kong Xuan felt as if his soul had been cleansed by sweet dew. The blockages in his cultivation were suddenly cleared, and the long-standing barrier to his cultivation even began to loosen.

With a slight thought, he took the object into his palm.

Upon seeing it clearly, even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as Kong Xuan couldn't help but have his pupils shrink and his fingertips tremble slightly.

A pure white lotus seed rests quietly in the palm of your hand.

Its texture is warm and smooth, with a chaotic aura flowing on its surface. Inside, it seems to contain a miniature image of the opening and closing of heaven and earth. With the clear light coming out, the Daoist charm is naturally formed.

The immature lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.

The seed of the Pure White Lotus.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

Even Kong Xuan, with his calm and composed nature, couldn't help but be shaken at this moment.

Memories of the Pure White Lotus then surfaced.

In the past, when Pangu created the world, the Chaos Green Lotus scattered in response to the calamity. Its lotus platform transformed into the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus, which was later obtained by the Three Pure Ones, each of whom divided its treasures, which transformed into the Coiled Dragon Flat Staff, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Green Lotus Sword.

Furthermore, five lotus seeds scattered throughout the primordial world, each creating its own destiny:

The Western Guide received a twelve-tiered golden lotus of merit, sat on the lotus throne, and expounded the Great Dao of Nirvana.

The Blood Sea Styx Ancestor wields the Twelve Grades of Karmic Fire Red Lotus, using the karmic fire of the red lotus to burn away all the karma in the world.

A black lotus that transformed into twelve petals, destined to destroy the world, was held by the Demon Ancestor Rahu. After Rahu self-destructed, the black lotus disappeared without a trace.

Another one, called the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, was held by the Sage Hongjun and was bestowed upon the Goddess Nuwa after he finished preaching at Zixiao Palace.

This last lotus seed, due to its congenital deficiency, has been missing since the beginning of time, and no one knows its whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, it reappeared in his palm here today, in this pool of the Three Lights Divine Water.

However, a hint of doubt immediately arose in Kong Xuan's mind.

Since the Pure White Lotus is in the Three Lights Divine Water Pool, why is it that in later legends, we have never heard of the Goddess Nuwa using this treasure, nor has she ever appeared in the primordial world?

But upon further reflection, it became clear.

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, Nuwa rarely manifested her divine power in the world, except for the great deeds of creating humans, mending the heavens, and accumulating merit.

Even if the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods was triggered by her throwing out the Demon-Summoning Banner, it was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun who was behind the scenes manipulating the heavenly secrets.

Having reached the level of a sage, ordinary tribulations can hardly disturb her tranquility, so what need would she need to exert all her efforts and reveal such a treasure?

It is perfectly reasonable that the Pure White Lotus does not appear in the world.

Of course, this is just his speculation.

Perhaps there is another possibility: after the Pure World White Lotus matures, it will, like many innate spiritual beings, choose its own opportunity to escape into the depths of chaos and disappear beyond the primordial ages.

The vast chaos, with no direction in sight, was originally the final destination of many primordial treasures.

Kong Xuan composed himself and stopped investigating.

He carefully held the lotus seed of the Pure White Lotus in his palm, feeling the pure and serene aura within it that seemed to cleanse all impurities and illuminate the darkness of ignorance.

Although we have obtained this treasure, how to cultivate it to maturity has become a major challenge.

This Pure White Lotus is no ordinary innate spiritual root; the requirements for its growth are the most stringent in the primordial world.

Just look at how many eons it has been in this Three Lights Divine Water Pool, yet it still retains the initial state of a lotus seed and has not yet sprouted, and you can see a glimpse of its quality.

If it were any other innate spiritual root in such a blessed place, it would probably have already flourished and borne fruit.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly a thought struck him, and he remembered another famous creation in the primordial world, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

This treasure is the most outstanding innate spiritual material in the primordial world. Whether it was Nuwa creating humans from clay in the future or Zhen Yuanzi repairing the vast earth veins in the western part of the primordial world, they all relied on this item.

But how could Kong Xuan obtain such a precious spiritual object so easily?
