Su Zimo asked, "May I ask, seniors, what is that?"
"Creation Qinglian!"
Monk Yin Lu spat out those words.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
There were only a few words about the Creation Qinglian in the Sutra Chamber at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
Su Zimo only knew that the Creation Qinglian was once an emperor weapon of the Buddhist monasteries!
Emperor weapons were the Destiny Dharmic Treasures of emperors and possessed the might and might of emperors. They were much stronger than the Dharmic treasures of Mahayana Patriarchs!
However, how could a legendary emperor weapon look like this?
The lotus platform was old and dim without any life. It was bare without a single petal.
Monk Yin Lu explained when he saw the confusion in Su Zimo's eyes, "The Creation Qinglian in your hands has already withered. That's why it's in such a state."
"Withered?"
The confusion in Su Zimo's eyes deepened.
How could weapons wither?
Monk Yin Lu continued, "The Creation Qinglian requires the nourishment of one's Essence Spirit in order to be rejuvenated and grow new petals and lotus seeds."
"Legend has it that there are nine grades to the Creation Qinglian. The highest grade is the Grade 9 Creation Qinglian. Of course, it's also said that the highest grade is Grade 12. "
Pausing for a moment, Monk Yin Lu shook his head. "Of course, it doesn't matter whether it's Grade 9 or 12. That's because the highest grade of the Creation Qinglian in Tianhuang Mainland is only Grade 8! "
"What's the grade of this lotus platform now?" Su Zimo could not help but ask.
"There's no grade."
Monk Yin Lu chuckled.
"Ugh."
Su Zimo chuckled as well when he heard that.
Since the Creation Qinglian had already withered, how could it have a grade?
"What's the meaning of a grade? How are they divided?"
Su Zimo was filled with doubts and asked once more.
"Creation. Qinglian will be nourished by the Primordial Spirit and will be filled with vitality. When she reaches her limit, she will seize a creation and undergo a reincarnation."
Monk Yin Lu explained, "The so-called grade is based on how many times Qinglian has reincarnated. After one reincarnation, it will grow a layer of nine Qinglian petals and nine lotus seeds, and it will become a grade one Creation Qinglian. "
"When the First Grade Qinglian grows to its peak, it will undergo a second reincarnation. The Lotus Platform will grow a second layer of petals, add nine more lotus seeds, and so on."
Su Zimo roughly understood.
The easiest way to determine the grade of the Green Lotus of Creation from its appearance was to see how many layers of petals it had.
The ninth-grade Creation Qinglian would have nine layers of petals.
He could imagine that the layers of petals would be arranged tightly with the smallest petals. The more they bloomed outwards, the larger the petals would be!
Pondering for a moment, Monk Yin Lu continued, "If the Creation Qinglian can reach grade four, it will be comparable to a connate Perfected Lord Dharmic weapon! If it can reach grade five, it will be comparable to a connate Void Reversion Dharmic weapon! "
"The Green Lotus of Creation itself has many mysterious and profound powers that even Connate Dharmic Artifacts can't compare to."
Even connate Dharmic weapons could not compare to it!
That was a high evaluation.
Su Zimo looked at the tattered Green Lotus Platform in his palm and his heart burned.
This was even more precious than a connate Dharmic weapon!
"Hais."
Right then, Monk Yin Lu suddenly sighed. "Actually, it's unknown whether this Creation Qinglian is a blessing or a curse for you."
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo was stunned.
How could there be a curse for a treasure as such?
Monk Yin Lu said, "If the Creation Qinglian wants to grow, it needs the nourishment of one's Essence Spirit. However, the amount of Essence Spirit power it requires is immense and no one can withstand it!"
"Throughout history, the Creation Qinglian has been passed around a few times and at least ten paragons have passed through it. However, most of them were burdened by it. Gradually, no one dared to touch it anymore. "
The fact that the Qinglian required the nourishment of one's Essence Spirit would definitely cause the cultivation of a cultivator to stagnate.
"That's the reason why the highest grade of the Creation Qinglian in Tianhuang Mainland is only grade eight."
Monk Yin Lu continued, "Throughout history, the ancient Buddha Emperor was the only one who relied on his unparalleled wisdom, determination and boldness to nurture a grade-eight Creation Qinglian. This is an Emperor Weapon recorded in the ancient books."
"Even with the Buddha Emperor's strength, he did not dare to attempt to nurture a grade-nine one!"
Su Zimo had a calm expression.
That was not something he was worried about.
Right now, he possessed two heaven-grade cultivation techniques for spirit refinement, the Purple Thunder Manual and Great Day Rulai Sutra. Be it in terms of cultivation speed or purity of his Essence Spirit, they were unparalleled throughout history!
Su Zimo refused to believe that he could not nurture the Creation Qinglian with the augmentation of two heaven-grade cultivation techniques.
"The reason why the Creation Qinglian is so mysterious is because it's not something from Tianhuang Mainland,"
Perfected Lord Yu Jun said slowly, "Legend has it that it came from the immortal world!"
"Hmm?"
Initially, Su Zimo was still thinking about how to nurture the Creation Qinglian when he heard the words' immortal world '. His heart skipped a beat and he raised his head, asking, "What immortal world? Where is it? How do I get there? "
This was the first time Su Zimo heard the words' immortal world '.
The first thing he thought of was Die Yue.
Before Die Yue left, she said that they were not from the same world.
As Su Zimo cultivated along the way, he gradually understood that Die Yue should have headed to an even more majestic world.
There was a high chance that this world was the legendary and illusory immortal world!
Perfected Lord Yu Jun shook his head with a bitter smile. "How can a cultivator of my level come into contact with where the immortal world is and how to get there?"
Su Zimo gradually calmed down and realized that his question was a little abrupt.
"Immortal world is merely a name given by the immortal sects."
As though he could read Su Zimo's mind, Perfected Lord Yu Jun explained further, "People of the fiend sects call it the fiend world while those of the Buddhist monasteries call it Paradise."
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
In that case, wouldn't the demon race call it the demon world?
"In any case, there's definitely a world like that outside of Tianhuang Mainland. A world where experts are everywhere and immortals and fiends roam freely! As for what it's called, there are different opinions and some people refer to it as the upper world. "
"Legend has it that a portion of the ancient emperors have entered the upper world as well.
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart thumped uncontrollably.
Su Zimo gulped and tried his best to compose himself before asking slowly, "Senior, may I ask if you've heard of something like the great wilderness in the upper world?"
"Great wilderness?"
After pondering carefully, Perfected Lord Yu Jun shook his head with a lost expression.
Su Zimo was relieved.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun's cultivation was only at Nascent Soul realm. Even if he knew some rumors about the immortal world, they might only be hearsay and there was no way he could come into contact with them.
Su Zimo believed that as his cultivation realm increased, he would know more secrets.
He would get closer to Die Yue!
"This Qinglian is a creation of Heaven and Earth and possesses unfathomable powers. You must be careful if you want to refine her with your Essence Spirit."
Perfected Lord Yu Jun reminded, "If you discover that something is amiss, you must abandon her immediately without hesitation. Otherwise, it'll be too late for regrets when you're burdened by her. "
"Thank you for your reminder, senior,"
Su Zimo thanked him but his mind was filled with legends of the immortal world.
