Zhang Xuan had never heard of the Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf before, but he was extremely familiar with the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo!
It was the God artifact that he had used to forge his clone!
It was due to the Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf that his clone was able to wield unimaginable fighting prowess. Even Zhang Xuan, who had cultivated the Heaven's Path Divine Art, was no match for his clone. It was only after comprehending the Pathos of Heaven that he was able to emerge victorious.
Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo … Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf?
Could it be that they were the same type?
With a thought, Zhang Xuan's clone appeared before him.
At this moment, his clone had already reached God King realm pinnacle, and his soul energy was no weaker than Zhang Xuan's.
"Take a look at that lotus leaf!"
Zhang Xuan pointed at the lotus leaf.
Zhang Xuan's clone raised his head to take a look, and his eyes immediately lit up. "I don't know what that thing is, but it seems like there's a strong attraction between my body and it …"
Before he could finish his words, his clone had already made a beeline for the massive lotus leaf.
The lotus leaf seemed to have sensed something as well, and it didn't resist at all. Instead, its massive body swiftly shrunk.
With a light shake, his clone landed on the lotus leaf, and it swiftly morphed into a budding lotus embryo, ready to blossom at any moment.
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
It was the appearance of the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo before he tamed his clone.
Tzzzzzzz!
The energy within the lotus leaf continued to nourish the lotus, and the pure white flower began to turn translucent, as if it would blossom at any moment.
Boom!
Not too long later, a powerful shockwave rippled through the air, and a nine-colored lotus blossomed, emanating an intoxicating fragrance.
"It's actually the Primordial Golden Lotus of the Nine Heavens!"
Conferred God King Blazing Flame widened his eyes in disbelief.
"You know of that thing?" Zhang Xuan asked with a frown.
"Legend has it that when the Nine Heavens were created, a Primordial Golden Lotus of the Primordial Golden Lotus was born, and it suppressed the Five Elements and the Four Extremities. However, before it could mature, it disappeared without a trace, resulting in the chaos of the world. The Four Great Divine Beasts became God Monarchs to guard the four directions, thus giving birth to the Four God Monarchs!"
Conferred God King Blazing Flame was an ancient God King who had followed the God Monarchs.
"I thought that the Primordial Golden Lotus of the Nine Heavens, but who could have thought that it would appear here?"
He turned to look at Zhang Xuan with eyes filled with respect.
The Primordial Golden Lotus of the Nine Skies was a treasure that even God Monarchs would find difficult to tame, but the young man before him had actually managed to forge it into his clone!
Was there a need to be so exaggerated?
If we had known that you were the one who had refined it, and that you had so many amazing students, we wouldn't have dared to snatch it from you …
What a scam.
Sizzle!
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed that the fusion between his clone and the lotus leaf was growing stronger and stronger, possibly even surpassing that of a Conferred God King.
It seemed that his clone's fortuitous encounter was much greater than his own.
He might even break through to the Sovereign Emperor Realm faster than him and obtain the Immeasurable Golden Body, becoming truly undying and indestructible.
He had been wondering what kind of treasure the Nine Hearts Lotus Embryo was for it to be able to render him unable to defeat a cultivator of the same cultivation realm as him. Only at this moment did he realize just how fearsome it was!
"I should have known …" Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
The Nine Skies Lotus Embryo harnessed the name of the Nine Skies. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Xuan should have known about it upon arriving in the Firmament, but who could have thought that it would actually be so heaven-defying?
"With the support of the lotus and its perfect bloom, the Nine Skies Primordial Golden Lotus should be able to successfully become a God Monarch. However, it'll take some time … "
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan saw that the golden lotus was growing more and more resplendent. He could sense that his clone had already fully assimilated the lotus leaf, and he knew that it was time for his clone to become a God Monarch. Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
He had thought that it was impossible for his clone to become a God Monarch, but who could have thought that he would have such a fortuitous encounter?
"When I first found the Nine Skies Lotus Embryo back on the Master Teacher Continent, I thought that it was the Nine Hearts Lotus due to its grayish color. I thought that it was because it hadn't matured yet, so I used my Heaven's Path zhenqi to nourish it. Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with its unique aura as well …"
Recalling the first time he saw the Nine Skies Lotus Embryo, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Back then, Mo Hunsheng had attached his soul to it, and that was how he managed to survive for several dozen millenniums.
All along, he had thought that it was his Heaven's Path zhenqi that had matured the Nine Skies Lotus Embryo, but from the looks of it now, it was possible that it harnessed the unique energy that had suppressed Feng Jiuge's cultivation previously.
It was only because of the Heaven's Path zhenqi that the Nine Hearts Lotus Embryo was able to restore its original color.
As for how such a powerful artifact could be forged into his clone, it did not take long for him to figure it out.
The unique energy that the Nine Skies Lotus Embryo harnessed was able to nullify all of its energy. That was why he was able to assimilate it so easily despite being only a Transcendent Mortal.
"The Nine Skies Lotus Embryo and the Deathless Monarch are both closely related to me. Could it be that … someone is really plotting against me?"
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind.
Everything was too much of a coincidence!
If it had been an ordinary artifact, he could have just chalked it up to luck. However, the Primordial Golden Lotus of the Nine Skies was a treasure that not even God Monarchs could obtain. Yet, he had somehow managed to assimilate it into his clone …
To think that an expert like the Deathless Monarch would become his tamed beast …
Not to mention, even the strongest ruler of the Sky of Freedom, God Monarch Lingxi, would become his girlfriend …
No matter how he looked at it, there was something amiss about all of this!
It was as if there was another invisible hand that had been pushing him forward step by step, pushing him forward step by step, all the way to where he was now.
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan decided not to dwell on it anymore. Instead, he turned his gaze to his disciples.
It had only been a month since he had last seen them, but they had all grown to the level of Conferred God Kings.
"Teacher, these are the treasures we obtained from the Flooding Sea. They might be of use to you …"
Zhao Ya walked up to Zhang Xuan and passed a storage ring over.
Zhang Xuan lowered his head to take a look, and he nodded in approval. "Not bad!"
These disciples had obtained far more than him. With just a quick glance, he could see that there were more than a dozen treasures that were on par with the Condensed Earth Essence. Some of them even surpassed it.
More importantly, they had gathered so many treasures and given them all to him. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel gratified.
"It seems like I'll be able to push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm with just these treasures …"
Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile.
With all of these treasures, he would be able to push for a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm.
"Hmm? No, wait a moment. You didn't take the Midnight Flower and Silent Iron? "Zhang Xuan frowned.
In the storage ring that Zhao Ya had given him, there were no treasures like the Midnight Flower and the Silent Iron that had been taken by others before him.
Could it be that other than his disciples, there was someone else who could have taken the treasures from those places?
"Midnight Flower? Silent Iron? "
Zhao Ya and the others nodded in agreement. "I've never heard of that name before …"
"Could it be that … there's another formidable expert aside from you?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
