Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

Qin Zhenyuan remained silent for a moment, then looked at the seven-leafed blue lotus and slowly said, "The Lord of the Blue Lotus is not occupying Changbai Mountain; He is guarding a region."

Lei Zhenyue was slightly taken aback.

Qin Zhenyuan continued, "After the last beast tide, the ancestral vein of Changbai Mountain was damaged. It looks calm on the outside, but there are still hidden wounds underground."

"The Lord of the Azure Lotus planted his clone in the Heavenly Lake, which is equivalent to leaving a stabilizing force in Changbai Mountain."

"When the fourth tide truly recedes, this place will at least not be the first to spiral out of control."

Lei Zhenyue nodded. Since the revival of spiritual energy, the Lord of the Azure Lotus and the human race have had a clear distinction between their grievances.

Lei Zhenyue saw all of this.

He did not deny the achievements of the Lord of the Azure Lotus at this moment.

Just as the two were chatting.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a clear bell rang out over Changbai Mountain.

when!

The bell wasn't loud, yet it seemed to pierce through the clouds, cross mountains and rivers, and resound throughout the entire ancestral realm.

Inside the cave, everyone was startled at the same time.

Lei Zhenyue strode out of the main hall.

The next moment, he stopped in his tracks.

The world has changed.

The once clear sky was suddenly covered by a vast expanse of silvery-white clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds stretched from east to west, covering Changbai Mountain, Heilong Mountain, the East China Sea, Kunlun Mountains, the South China Sea, and the entire land of the Dragon Kingdom.

Daylight still lingers, yet a bright, full moon appears in the center of the sky.

The moonlight, like water, slowly poured down from the depths of the sky.

"moon?"

A ninth inning player's voice was hoarse: "It's daytime, how can there be a moon?"

Lei Zhenyue took out a communicator, and as soon as it lit up, urgent reports came from command posts in various locations.

"Report! An unusual full moon phenomenon has appeared over Kyoto!"

"A strange phenomenon of a full moon appeared in the sky over Nanjiang!"

"An unknown lunar phase was simultaneously observed in all regions, including the East China Sea, Changbai Mountain, Heilong Lake, and Kunlun Mountains!"

"The spiritual pressure curve is soaring; a full-scale surge of spiritual energy has been detected!"

boom!

Between heaven and earth, countless rays of light fell from the sky.

At this moment, the mountains and rivers, abandoned ancient wells, underground mineral veins, and deep-sea rifts, which had been silent for many years, all resounded with a deep rumble.

The fourth spiritual tide.

It's officially here!

Heilong Lake.

The Chu boat itself stands in the center of the lake.

Nine green and silver lotus leaves swayed gently.

As the fourth tide fully erupted, the water level in Black Dragon Lake rose at a visible speed, and the array patterns of the ancient city of Zhenyuan at the bottom of the lake lit up layer by layer.

On the west side, on the Fuyue Stone Ridge, a mountain lord stands atop a high peak, carrying the Fuyue Embryo Stone on his back.

The pale gold-colored patterns on its body appeared even more profound under the moonlight.

Changbai Mountain Tianhu Lake.

The clone left behind by Chu Zhou took root at the bottom of the lake.

Seven lotus leaves unfurled in the moonlight, and spiritual energy surged in from all around like a tide.

Tokyo Bay.

The Moon-Suppressing Nail floats above the moon gate in the deep sea, its black and gold patterns flowing slowly.

The Azure Sea Dragon Whale King coiled around the Moon-Suppressing Nail, its back radiating azure spiritual light with the Tide-Suppressing Ancestral Pattern, and its massive whale body greedily absorbed the moonlight falling from the heavens and earth.

Zhenhai Relic Island, with its myriad green vines reaching into the seabed.

On the emerald green vine, one after another blue leaves unfold, firmly locking the coastal veins.

Chu Zhou's divine sense traversed thousands of mountains and rivers.

Heilong Lake, Changbai Mountain, Fuyue Stone Ridge, Tokyo Bay, Zhenhai Relic Island.

At the moment the fourth tide arrives, the five nodes resonate with each other.

hum!

The Black Gold Imperial Seal rose from the sky above Black Dragon Lake.

The imperial seal turned.

Five beams of azure and silver light shot into the sky, piercing through the sea of ​​clouds and forming a network of earth veins that spanned most of the Dragon Kingdom.

The strange stone stood before the stone steps of Zhenyuan Ancient City, its scarlet stone patterns flashing intensely. It was somewhat surprised: "Lotus Demon, these five nodes of yours actually connected during the Fourth Tide!"

Chu Zhou's lotus leaves trembled slightly: "It wasn't me who made them connect; it was something from the heavens that was actively responding to the Zhenyuan Emperor Seal."

Even the strange rocks look up at the sky.

The full moon shone even brighter.

At the center of the moon, a point of silver light slowly expanded.

Then, an ancient celestial palace emerged from the depths of the full moon, with white jade steps and glazed tiles.

The palaces hang above the sea of ​​clouds.

Countless moon-white spiritual flowers bloomed along the long steps, and the cool moonlight illuminated the heavens and earth, making the entire celestial palace seem to have stepped out from endless ages ago.

This scene was witnessed by countless people around the world.

Satellites, drones, and psionic monitors from various countries all captured images of the lunar palace suspended in the sky.

Countless live streams crashed.

The barrage of comments was overwhelming.

"It's the Moon Palace; the Moon Palace phenomenon has returned."

"Look at the entrance to the Moon Palace!"

The first spiritual energy revival brought about a strange phenomenon in the Moon Palace, and the scene from that time is still awe-inspiring. Now, this phenomenon has reappeared.

At this moment, people all over the world were no longer able to remain calm.

At the same time, amidst the strange phenomena in the sky, deep within the sea of ​​clouds, the gates of the Moon Palace slowly opened.

Twelve figures in white robes emerged from the jade steps.

Their figures were ethereal, their sleeves like clouds, and each carried a moon-white ancient lamp in its hand.

The ancient lamp has no wick, but a tiny full moon slowly rotates inside.

And at their feet.

One after another, snow-white agile rabbits ran through the clouds.

The snow rabbit has long ears and eyes as red as glass.

With each leap, moonlight condenses into lotus flowers beneath his feet.

A fairy maiden from the moon palace walked by carrying a lantern.

The snow rabbit trod across the moonlight.

This scene is so beautiful it seems unreal.

Many people even forgot to breathe.

Outside Changbai Mountain.

A woman holding a child stood by the window, looking at the moon palace in the sky, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.

She couldn't explain why she was crying.

But when the moonlight fell on him, the fear that had been building up in his heart for years and the sadness after the beast tide seemed to be soothed little by little.

The child in her arms reached out his little hand.

"Mommy, the bunny is running in the sky."

In the sky, the twelve moon palace fairies walked to the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

They both stopped in their tracks.

Twelve moon lanterns were raised in unison, their moonlight shining upon Black Dragon Lake.

The light shone on the main body of Chu Zhou.

All sounds seemed to disappear from the world, and Chu Zhou's lotus leaf body swayed slightly.

He could sense that these fairies were not truly living beings.

They are the guardian spirit left behind by the Moon Palace, and each of their figures is incomplete.

Every moon lamp could go out at any moment.

But when they looked at the Zhenyuan Emperor Seal, they still held a reverence that transcended eternity.

The white-clad fairy at the head of the group spoke slowly, her voice ethereal and resonant throughout the heavens.

"In the remnants of the Moon Palace, pay homage to Zhenyuan. The Zhenyuan Seal still remains, and the ancestral realm still has mountains and rivers that can be defended."

Chu Zhou's roots gently landed on the Imperial Seal: "What is the purpose of the Moon Palace's manifestation this time?"

The white-clad fairy looked beyond the sky: "The fourth tide is rising, and the seal of the ancestral realm will undergo a dramatic change in seven days."

"The Moon Palace is powerless to fight any longer, so it can only borrow the essence of the moon to suppress a region of the world for the Guardian."

She raised the moon lamp: "When the moonlight falls, the mountains and rivers are at peace."

boom!

Twelve moon lanterns burned simultaneously.

Endless moonlight poured down from the celestial palace, precisely striking the boundary-suppressing nodes throughout the ancestral realm.

In front of Kunlun Tianmen.

The Primordial Heavenly Gate trembled violently. At the Three Passes of the South River, the black-gold lotus pattern on the back of the Xuanjia absorbed the moonlight, and the tides of the Three Passes returned to normal.

In Changbai Mountain, the Chu boat clone in Tianhu Lake grows rapidly.

Seven leaves, eight leaves.

The ninth lotus leaf slowly unfurled.

When the lotus leaves unfurl, a thousand-foot-high spiritual tide surges in the Heavenly Lake.

The tiger king of Changbai Mountain roared to the sky.

Queen Bee Jinrui led her swarm of bees, hovering in the moonlight.

The fierce markings on the tiger king's back and the wings of the golden-stamen bee queen were both bathed in a layer of cool moonlight.

Tokyo Bay.

The Dragon Whale King of the Vast Ocean let out a desolate whale roar.

The ancestral pattern on its back absorbs the moonlight, making the crescent moon pattern in the deep sea even clearer.

Beneath the Moon-Suppressing Nail, the restless death energy of the Moon Abyss was pushed back into the depths.

Fuyue Stone Ridge, the mountain king sits cross-legged in front of the ancestral vein, with the Fuyue Embryo Stone hanging above its head.

After the moonlight fell, the pale gold mountain patterns in the stone continued to spread, making the entire western stone ridge even more stable.

Little Jinbao circled above the stone ridge, barking excitedly.

"The moon also sends down spiritual rain... no, this sparrow has become stronger too!"

Baishan Jun lay on the cliff.

The moonlight shone down on the king-like markings on its forehead.

A sharper, more intense tiger-like aura slowly awakened within him.

It did not rush to break through, but silently absorbed the moonlight, sinking this opportunity deep into its bloodline.

Heilong Lake.

The most magnificent moonlight fell entirely upon the Chu boat.

The nine lotus leaves of the Chu boat unfolded simultaneously.

Centered on him, a vortex of spiritual energy formed on the lake surface, with a diameter of tens of miles.

The power accumulated by the previous blood sacrifice, the Moon Abyss Lamp Bearer, and the Mountain Devouring Insect King was completely unleashed at this moment.

The black gold imperial seal hangs above the lotus flower.

The Ancient City of Zhenyuan, the Soul-Suppressing Platform of Ten Thousand Beasts, and five other earth vein nodes simultaneously fed back their primal power to Chu Zhou.

Chu Zhou's spiritual pressure continued to rise.

Mid-stage of the eighth rank.

Peak of mid-stage eighth rank.

Click!

A crisp sound rang out from deep within the Chu Zhou's main body.

It's like an invisible shackle has been completely broken.

[Ding! Moonlight from Taiyin Town has been detected.]

[Resonance detected at five major ley line nodes.]

[The host is absorbing the origin of the fourth tide.]

[Evolution Points Cost: One Billion.]

[Main body evolution complete!]

[Realm Breakthrough: Late Stage 8!]

"1.5 billion until the next evolution point."

Evolution Points: Ten Million...

boom!

Above Heilong Lake.

The green lotus flowers suddenly surged in size.

Beyond the nine lotus leaves, a huge moon-white lotus shadow reappeared.

The moonlight and the silvery blue intertwine.

The entire lotus flower resembles an umbrella spreading across the sky and earth, covering Heilong Lake and the surrounding mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles.

A terrifying pressure swept out.

The outskirts of Heilong Mountain.

Countless strange beasts lay prostrate on the ground.

The remnants of the black tide in the mountains and forests had just begun to emerge when they turned into wisps of blue smoke under the moonlight.

Outside Linjiang City.

All the psionic instruments at the Ninth Bureau liaison point simultaneously exceeded their limits.

Su Wan stood on the observation platform.

She gazed at the enormous lotus shadow above Black Dragon Lake, her breath catching in her throat.

"Late stage of Rank 8..."

One of the mentors' Adam's apples bobbed: "Captain Su, the Lord of the Azure Lotus has broken through again?"

Su Wan nodded, looking at the silvery-blue moon lotus that reflected the heavens and earth, her voice filled with undisguised shock.

"From today onwards, the Dragon Kingdom, and even the whole world, must reassess the significance of the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone."

Chu Zhou felt the surging power within his body.

The spiritual pressure of the late eighth rank was several times stronger than before.

More importantly, his divine sense spread with the moonlight, easily covering thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

Heilong Lake, Fuyue Stone Ridge, Changbai Mountain Tianhu Lake, Tokyo Bay, and Zhenhai Relic Island.

The scenes at all five nodes were reflected in his perception.

[Obtained Domain: Taiyin Lotus Domain.]

[Taiyin Lotus Domain: The purification, restoration, and suppression powers of any area illuminated by moonlight are increased threefold.]

[Those who cultivate within the Lotus Realm can receive the blessings of the Moon's Essence.]

[Gained Ability: Azure Lotus Shift]

[One can instantly descend into the established Azure Lotus Domain using the earth's leyline nodes.]

The lotus leaves on the Chu boat swayed gently.

This is the ability he truly needs.

When the fourth tide arrives, disasters will occur in various parts of the ancestral realm.

He can't stay at Black Dragon Lake forever.

With the Azure Lotus's Transcendental Shift.

Changbai Mountain, the East China Sea, and Fuyue Stone Ridge were all within his suppression range.

The strange stone sensed the aura within Chu Zhou and remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, it let out a soft hum: "Late stage of the eighth rank, finally starting to look like a realm protector."

Chu Zhou's roots extended and gently entwined around the edge of the strange rock: "Is my beloved concubine praising me?"

The strange stone stiffened: "Get lost!"

Runes reappeared on the golden chains.

The strange rock was so angry that its textures flickered wildly.

Chu Zhou, with lotus leaves swaying, stopped teasing it.

He looked up at the sky.

The Moon Palace Fairy still stands at the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

The moonlight gradually thinned.

That celestial palace, which spanned countless ages, began to fade away little by little.

Just as the Moon Palace was about to disappear.

The deepest part of the sky.

A wisp of extremely faint silver-black mist quietly appeared.

The fog did not reach the ancestral realm.

It simply condensed into a giant vertical pupil, coldly watching Chu Zhou across the endless void.
