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

Chu Zhou didn't hesitate at all and said directly, "Include it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling blue light suddenly burst forth from the depths of Black Dragon Lake, and blue roots emerged from the lake bottom, spreading wildly along the underground spiritual veins.

That newly formed spiritual vein was like a dragon that had just awakened, rampaging through the earth, causing mountains to tremble and rock layers to crack wherever it passed.

A large amount of spiritual energy gushed out from the crack. If this newly formed spiritual vein were allowed to run rampant, the entire earth vein of Black Dragon Mountain would be disturbed.

Chu Zhou directly manipulated the roots to entangle it, and a terrifying roar came from the depths of the earth.

The spiritual vein struggled frantically, Chu Zhoulian's body swayed violently, and the blue patterns on the five lotus leaves lit up simultaneously.

"Give me the town."

The Azure Lotus Domain instantly suppressed the nascent spiritual vein, which had been raging, and Chu Zhou forcibly dragged it toward Black Dragon Lake.

At the same time, the Xuanjia in the underground river sensed the turbulence of the water veins and immediately sank to the deepest part.

The water ripples on the tortoise shell shone brightly, and the water-suppressing domain expanded, forcibly stabilizing the underground river.

In the Spirit Spring Valley, the Black Tiger King suddenly looked up and saw that the spiritual energy gushing from the Spirit Spring was getting thicker and thicker, almost turning into white mist.

It immediately roared, driving all the low-level beasts away from the spring.

Because the spiritual energy is too violent at this moment, if a low-level beast greedily absorbs it, it may explode and die.

Southwest Monkey Valley.

The mountain continued to rise higher, and boulders rolled down. The mountain demon roared as it stood at the mouth of the valley, swinging its arms to smash the boulders that were hurtling towards the ape horde.

Upon seeing this, the third-tier ape general, who had only recently submitted, immediately followed the example of the mountain lord and led the group of red-eyed apes to retreat to a safe area.

High in the sky, Little Jinbao led his newly subdued avian army in continuous circles. The low-level avians were originally a little restless due to the stimulation of the moonlight.

Little Jinbao let out a piercing cry, and the oppressive aura of a fourth-tier demon king swept across the sky as it roared, "All of you, behave yourselves, or I'll peck your heads off!"

The flock of birds fell silent instantly, and Little Jinbao nodded in satisfaction.

Sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the direction of Black Dragon Lake, it looked at Black Dragon Lake with some surprise, because it felt that the aura in the center of the lake was surging wildly.

Deep in Heilong Lake.

The newly formed spiritual vein was finally completely entangled by Chu Zhou's roots.

Countless rays of blue light spread along the roots, gradually refining the violent spiritual energy.

"Ding, successfully incorporated into the new spiritual vein tributary."

"The concentration of spiritual energy in Black Dragon Mountain has increased."

"The stability of the penalty area has improved."

"Evolution Point +300000".

boom!

A large amount of pure spiritual energy was fed back to the Green Lotus.

The five lotus leaves of Chuzhou unfolded simultaneously.

In addition, there was the purple moonlight brought by the lunar palace phenomenon, and the black gold essence that had just been extracted from the strange rock.

Three forces surged into the lotus's body together.

The numbers on the system panel started jumping wildly.

[Current evolution points: 5000000/5000000]

A system notification sounded suddenly.

"Ding! Evolution points have been used to meet the breakthrough requirements."

"Should we break through to the sixth rank?"

Chu Zhou didn't hesitate at all: "Breakthrough."

boom!

Black Dragon Lake exploded instantly, sending towering waves soaring into the sky.

In the center of the lake, a beam of azure light pierced through the sky and directly entered the purple moonlight.

The entire Black Dragon Mountain fell completely silent at that moment.

All the strange beasts, all the spiritual plants, all the birds and beasts seemed to sense some kind of supreme aura.

They instinctively lay prone on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Chu Zhou's true form began to transform, and the original five lotus leaves continued to expand.

Each lotus leaf has become wider and thicker, with the green veins on it flowing slowly like natural divine patterns.

Immediately afterwards, the sixth lotus leaf grew out from the lotus heart.

As soon as this lotus leaf appeared, the spiritual energy in Black Dragon Lake surged dramatically.

Then came the seventh leaf. The moment the seventh lotus leaf fully unfurled, a blue light spread like a tide.

All around Black Dragon Lake, countless spiritual herbs sprouted from the earth.

Moonflower grass grows in patches, and green vines entwine ancient trees.

Ordinary wildflowers and weeds by the lake have transformed into low-level spiritual plants under the baptism of the blue light.

In the lake.

Schools of silver-scaled spirit fish leaped out of the water.

Several of the largest spirit fish broke through to the third rank on the spot.

The scales shimmered with a faint blue light, giving off a hint of blue lotus fragrance.

The ancient trees by Heilong Lake are growing wildly, their canopies blocking out the sun, and their thick roots burrowing into the ground like writhing dragons.

The lake shore expanded outwards, and the originally narrow valley was transformed into a vast and spiritual lake.

Blue mist rises from the surface of the lake.

From a distance, the entire Heilong Lake appears to be a true celestial paradise.

The blue lotus in the center of the lake is like the very center of this world, with terrifying pressure spreading outwards layer by layer.

The mountain demon suddenly knelt down on the ground, his massive body trembling.

"roar!"

It wasn't fear, but rather awe and excitement that came from the depths of the soul.

The master has broken through.

It could sense that the gap between its owner and them was widening once again.

In the underground river, Xuanjia lowered his head.

The water ripples on the tortoise shell kept lighting up, and it was also extremely excited, never expecting that its master had actually broken through.

In Blackwood Snake Valley, the Black Tiger King is on patrol.

The moment Chu Zhou broke through, it lay prostrate on the ground, its tiger eyes filled with shock: "Is this the aura of the sixth rank? Master has stepped into the sixth rank, this is terrifying."

In Lingquan Valley, thousands of strange beasts lay prone.

Even those beasts that had just been incorporated and were not yet fully convinced did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.

This oppressive aura was beyond their comprehension of the Demon King.

This is not a strongman, this is the master of the forbidden zone, the true master of the forbidden zone.

High in the sky.

Little Jinbao originally wanted to maintain its air of being the leader of the birds, but when that aura of blue lotus swept across the sky, its wings suddenly stiffened, and it almost fell from mid-air.

After finally regaining its balance, it immediately became excited and flew around wildly in the air.

"Hahaha, Master has broken through! From now on, I, Bird Lord, will be the number one flying beast under the command of a sixth-tier powerhouse!"

"Who dares to disobey?"

"Who dares to disagree?"

It shouted out.

All the birds and beasts in the sky trembled in fear.

Upon hearing this, Shan Kui silently picked up a stone from the ground.

Little Jinbao immediately shut up, coughed and said, "Of course, I'm a civilized bird. Today my master is breaking through, so I won't stoop to your level, you big dummy."

Shan Kui grinned.

Little Jinbao was so angry that its feathers stood on end, but it quickly forgot about being angry.

An even more terrifying aura erupted from the direction of Black Dragon Lake.

A system notification sounded.

"Ding, breakthrough successful."

"Host has entered the early stage of the sixth rank."

"Racial Metamorphosis: Mature Form of the Innate Azure Lotus".

"The territory of Qinglian has expanded."

"The power of the Azure Lotus Mark has been enhanced."

"Enhanced absorption and purification capabilities."

"Gained new ability: Spirit Domain Suppression".

"Spiritual Domain Suppression: The host can exert absolute pressure on life forms below their own level within the domain's range and greatly suppress polluting auras."

Chu Zhou felt the surge of power within his body.

At the fifth rank, he was only able to control Black Dragon Mountain.

Now that he has reached the sixth level, he feels that he has truly become one with the entire Black Dragon Mountain.

The flow of every drop of water in Heilong Lake.

Every gust of spiritual energy gushing forth in Lingquan Valley.

The changes in each tributary of the underground river.

He could even clearly sense an insect crawling across a leaf on the outskirts of Black Dragon Mountain.

This sense of control far surpassed that before. With a thought, Chu Zhou instantly unleashed the Azure Lotus Domain.

boom!

All pollutants within the entire Heilong Mountain area were directly suppressed.

In the direction of the abandoned well in Linjiang City, the blue lotus mark between Baishan Jun's eyebrows shone brightly once again.

The polluted aura that was originally surging wildly below the crack was as if it had been pressed back into the ground by an invisible hand.

Bai Shanjun's body trembled, then he lowered his head in awe and said in a deep voice, "Congratulations, Master, on your successful breakthrough."

Its voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Because from this moment on, its owner has truly stood at the pinnacle of this era.

Meanwhile, on the observation tower in the distance.

Lu Cang stared at the blue light bursting from the abandoned well, frozen in place. He wasn't stupid.

He could clearly sense that Bai Shanjun's aura had not truly broken through.

The real breakthrough came from the being behind Hakusan-kun.

"The Lord of the Azure Lotus has become stronger again?"

Lu Cang swallowed hard; his face was pale, and he looked utterly powerless.

Even when it was only at the fifth rank, it was already this terrifying; even missiles couldn't inflict a devastating blow on it.

Once this breakthrough is achieved, what terrifying level of strength will it reach?
