"Show yourself, Petal of Enlightenment. How much longer do you want to hide?"
Calm words slowly left Ling Xian's mouth. Like an explosion, it sounded like the bottom of a pan.
BOOOM!
A terrifying aura surged out, causing the lake water to churn endlessly. Huge waves splashed out, and the entire lake was shaking.
However, the purple lotus was not affected at all. As it swayed, it emitted heavenly light that blocked out Ling Xian's Qi. It was not affected at all and showed no signs of showing itself. It was as if it completely ignored Ling Xian's words.
Show itself?
The Petal of Enlightenment?
Everyone frowned, not quite understanding what Ling Xian meant by this.
Could it be …
Everyone looked at Ling Xian's serious expression and then looked at the purple lotus that was unmoving in the storm. A shocking guess formed in their hearts.
Mo Qing Fu hesitated, "Brother, what do you mean? It can't really be that, right? "
"That's right. It is just as you guessed." Ling Xian nodded softly. His eyes were still full of shock.
To know that he has been through hundreds of years and has seen many things. Not many things can shock him. However, using the Eyes of Execution to peek inside the Petal of Enlightenment was enough to shock him to this extent. It was obvious that this was not something ordinary.
Gasp!
A series of sharp inhales rang out. Even these prodigies who were usually calm and composed, as if nothing could cause a ripple in their hearts, could not help but fall into a daze at this moment.
"My god, it can't be! It really is!"
"Impossible. Did I see it wrong? Based on what I know, Yunzhou hasn't seen something like this for thousands of years. "
"No. Even though I don't know what kind of eyes this person has, it is without a doubt, the Inner Gaze. The Inner Gaze has the ability to see through things. If he said it, then it can't be wrong!"
"If this is true, then the entire Yunzhou will shake!"
Everyone stared at the purple lotus flower in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.
At this moment, they didn't seem to be geniuses at the perfection-stage of qi refinement, and they seemed no different from young cultivators that had just stepped onto the path of cultivation. Their composure, poise, and self-restraint had all been tossed beyond the highest heavens. Their widened eyes, slightly agape mouths, and trembling bodies all displayed the shock in their hearts.
Because this matter was too shocking, too inconceivable!
If what Ling Xian said was true, then this news was enough to shock Yunzhou and even the entire Taoism community!
"What, you still don't want to show yourself?"
Staring at the unmoving Petal of Enlightenment, Ling Xian frowned and said coldly, "Must you force me to use my full strength before you show yourself?"
Hearing this, the purple lotus seemed to tremble slightly, but it still didn't show any reaction.
"Good, looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." Ling Xian snickered. The Qi of the Undefeatable Realm poured out of his body, creating a gust of wind that engulfed the entire lake.
"Since it wasn't easy for you to cultivate, I will give you another chance. Show yourself now, or else don't blame me for being cruel."
An icy-cold voice slowly sounded. A wave of piercingly cold snow-like killing intent spread out, causing the purple-colored divine lotus to tremble. It was silent for a moment before a clear and weak voice that was filled with grievance, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, was finally transmitted over.
"Don't … don't kill me."
The purple lotus spoke in the human language. Like an oriole, it was melodious, but not very clear. It sounded like a baby that was just beginning to speak.
In the next second, the petals of the lotus suddenly bloomed. Purple heavenly light shot through the cloud and turned into a solid purple rain of light. The rain of light was bright and dazzling, beautiful and gorgeous.
A palm-sized purple person flew out from the center of the flower. Bathed in the rain of light, she looked like a fairy that descended from the heavens. She was extraordinary and out of this world, as if she could ride the wind and fly away at any moment.
This moving scene was like a poem, like a painting, like a dream. It made everyone's heart waver and they couldn't help but reveal a look of intoxication. Especially Tang Thirteen and the other two young girls. Their eyes were full of stars and they wanted nothing more than to take the lotus' place.
Sadly, they weren't the purple lotus. When they appeared, they didn't have any strange phenomenon to accompany them.
"Phew … it really is the lotus that has gained sentience."
Staring at the little purple person in midair, Ling Xian exhaled a mouthful of murky air. Remembering the legend he read in ancient books, he couldn't help but feel worried. He muttered to himself, "In the entire Yunzhou, there hasn't been an Elfin in thousands of years. I wonder if it's a good or bad thing for the Petal of Enlightenment to have sentience and become an Elfin."
However, others didn't have Ling Xian's mental fortitude. Watching the little purple person emerge from the rain of light, everyone fell into a state of shock. Staring at the little purple person, they didn't know what to say.
The Elfin was one of the thousands of kinds in the world. However, this kind was very special and different from other kinds. Normally, they are born from the mating of a male and a female. The Elfin was born from the Heaven and Earth. When the time is right, they can transform into a human form.
There is a saying that everything in the world has its own spirituality. Flowers, trees, springs, rivers, lakes, seas, everything can transform into a spirit and become a member of the Elfin.
However, because it was far too difficult to give birth to sentience, the number of Elfin was extremely low. Since the beginning of time, only a few have appeared.
According to ancient records, there was once a powerhouse who wanted to artificially breed an Elfin.
First, he found the Nine-Colored Spiritual Jade, which was widely recognized as the most spiritual object in the Taoism community. Then, he found the legendary Spring of Life. Then, he placed the Nine-Colored Spiritual Jade in a holy place. Every day, he would preach Taoism and use his blood to nourish it.
After a year, there was no change in the Holy Jade. After another ten years, there was still no change. In the end, the powerhouse couldn't hold back his anger and gave up on the idea of breeding an Elfin.
From this, one could see how difficult it was for an inanimate object to become a spirit.
However, even though it was difficult to give birth to an Elfin, this Elfin was compatible with Taoism and was blessed by God. Once it is born, its natural talent will be unparalleled and will look down on the world. As long as it doesn't die prematurely, it will become an undefeatable powerhouse in the future!
In the history of Taoism, there was once a Qing Ming Stone that transformed into an Elfin. The moment it was born, it was already of the foundational level. Throughout its journey, it defeated all the heroes in the world and defeated all the heroes in the world. Within less than a hundred years, it successfully ascended to the top and ascended to the heavens!
This was why when he saw that the Petal of Enlightenment had transformed into a spiritual being, Ling Xian was so shocked. He dragged Mo Qing Fu and ran as fast as he could. He was afraid that the Petal of Enlightenment would be the same as the Qing Ming Stone.
However, when he saw the Purple Dwarf, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.
The Qi emitted by the Purple Dwarf was not very powerful. It was roughly equivalent to a cultivator of the eighth or ninth level of the meditational level. This was not surprising. Even though once it transforms into a spirit, its natural talent would be heaven-defying, but it was still divided into different levels. If it was a normal plant that transformed into a spirit, its natural talent would be weaker and it wouldn't have any cultivation when it was born.
Though the Petal of Enlightenment was considered a miraculous medicine, compared to the Qing Ming Stone, one of the Heavenly Stones, it was still lacking a little. Therefore, her cultivation level was roughly equivalent to a level-eight meditational human cultivator.
"Can … Can you … let me go?"
The Amethyst Dwarf was the size of a palm, and its entire body was shrouded in a purple halo. Although its body was small, its facial features were very clear. Its weak and pitiful appearance caused everyone's heart to tighten. Especially the three female cultivators, they wanted to immediately rush forward and hug it in their arms, to take good care of it.
When a Spirit Tribe cultivates its consciousness and is about to transform into a human, it can freely choose its gender. Once it is chosen, it cannot be changed for the rest of its life. It was obvious that this Petal of Enlightenment had chosen a female.
Seeing that the Purple Dwarf's eyes were red and about to cry, Ling Xian's heart softened. At first, he thought the Petal of Enlightenment was planning to ambush them, which was why he wanted to force it out. Now that the Purple Dwarf was not a threat, he retracted his terrifying Qi and gently said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you have no ill intentions, I won't do anything to you."
"Hmm … Thank, thank you."
Hearing this, the Purple Dwarf smiled happily. It tried its best to emit a warm and gentle Qi to convey its goodwill.
It had only transformed into a human not too long ago, so it had always been ignorant and naive. When it saw the Heaven's Favorites fighting over it, the Purple Dwarf was terrified. It hid in the center of the flower and did not dare to show itself.
Ling Xian smiled, but he was a little disappointed. Since the Petal of Enlightenment had already taken shape, he could not use it as a medicine. Of course, if he killed the Purple Dwarf, he could still obtain a spiritual medicine that would be stronger and more perfect.
But Ling Xian did not want to do that.
However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, the Keeper of Land and Sea's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Take it into the Painting of the Nine Immortals. There aren't many spiritual kind. If you teach it well, it will be a great help to you in the future."
Take it away?
Ling Xian was a little startled. Just as the Untainted had said, the spiritual kind were extremely rare. Not even one would appear in a thousand years. However, every single one of them was extremely talented, and the worst they could do was become a powerhouse of their own continent!
On top of that, this was the Petal of Enlightenment. Even though it was slightly weaker than the Qing Ming Stone, the Petal of Enlightenment was still a rare spiritual medicine with heaven-defying qualities. If it was properly raised and carefully taught, its future will be bright. In the future, it may even become a powerhouse of the entire continent!
To put it bluntly, the Purple Dwarf before him was a powerhouse in the future. If he took it with him and kept it company, he could develop a strong bond and become a great help to him.
An unparalleled powerhouse! This was better than any treasure!
Thinking about this, Ling Xian's heart burned with passion. He tried his best to emit a gentle Qi and show kindness to the Purple Dwarf.
"Little fella, are you willing to leave this place with me?"
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. His smile was gentle and bright. His mesmerizing smile made the female cultivators' eyes light up and their faces flashed with infatuation.
