Chapter 512: The Dao manifests, a palm of green lotus (Sixth update, seeking monthly votes)

It is said that after the ancient era, a great power emerged in the cultivation world.

The Green Emperor.

A single lotus flower, pressing down so hard that thousands of cultivators in the cultivation world could not lift their heads.

Only after that great figure did the cultivation world develop the tradition of honoring the Profound Green Dao; otherwise, before that, the Profound Green Dao was actually not highly regarded.

Still the same saying: there is no distinction of high or low among the Daos of the world.

The difference lies in the person.

And that green lotus, which suppressed an era under the Green Emperor, now appeared in Li Rui's hand—a green lotus sufficient to chill the hearts of countless ancestors.

It was not just an external manifestation.

Looking inward at the dantian.

One could see that the Dao Embryo within the Immortal Court also held a green lotus in its palm, the entire figure appearing holy and flawless.

The Dao Embryo slowly stood up.

With every step taken, a lotus flower appeared on the ground.

Truly, it could be called "lotus flowers blooming with every step"!

It is just a pity that this incomparably miraculous scene was destined for no one to see.

If a Heaven-Image Realm cultivator were to see it, they would certainly recognize it as a sign of the Dao manifesting—a green lotus condensed from the Profound Green Dao.

After a period of bitter practice.

Li Rui's comprehension of the Dao had increased once more.

Causing the Profound Green Dao to manifest.

Of course, being able to achieve such a feat must also be credited to the Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram.

The green lotus in his palm was three parts similar to the Ten Thousand Generations Green Lotus visualized in his mind.

Vigorous vitality surged within Li Rui's heart.

Li Rui's mind stirred.

A "Clang!" sound was heard.

The Immortal Blade Dragon-Slayer, hanging on the wall and having been re-strengthened, unsheathed itself, carving an arc in the air.

It actually slashed directly toward Li Rui's arm.

A bloodstain appeared on his palm.

But a shocking scene occurred.

The moment the bloodstain appeared, signs of healing followed; the wound was covered by newly grown skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow of a wound on his palm!

The corners of Li Rui's mouth lifted slightly.

One must know, this blade of his is a Second-Rank Immortal Blade.

Not only is its lethality sufficiently strong, but once a wound is torn open, its terrifying destructive power makes it difficult even for Heaven-Image Realm martial artists to heal.

All of this is thanks to the terrifying vitality of the manifested green lotus.

Of course.

The green lotus in the palm is not only powerful for its restorative ability; when things reach an extreme, they reverse—extreme vitality is also extreme death.

Using this green lotus to face an enemy would surely be terrifyingly extraordinary.

Back then, that Green Emperor relied on this very hand of green lotus to carve out a bright and clear world amidst a chaos that swept through the cultivation world ten thousand years ago, and is still praised by later generations to this day.

It is only now that Li Rui can be considered fully certain.

That Vast Sea Green Lotus Visualization Diagram is, in all likelihood, the inheritance of that Green Emperor.

It is extremely extraordinary.

No wonder the spirit-guide old man found it incomparably stunning upon seeing it.

The methods of an existence like the Green Emperor are truly not something ordinary people can imagine.

Li Rui obtained that person's inheritance.

Even without using the Immortal Dao, his combat power is extremely terrifying.

The next instant.

The strange phenomena around his body all vanished.

Only then did Li Rui walk out of the room, satisfied.

It was time for the roll call again.

In a corner of the Capital.

A magnificent mansion, with the two characters "Jiang Fu" written upright on the plaque above.

The current Jiang Fu is even more desolate.

Ever since Jiang Yan went to the cultivation world, Jiangjiang Linxian had dismissed all the Huaqing Sect disciples in the mansion, along with the servants.

Leaving only Han Qin behind.

A series of knocks sounded at the empty Jiang Fu.

Han Qin nimbly pushed open the main gate.

"Mr. Gu?"

He saw a handsome man standing before the gate; it was none other than Gu Gu Changsheng.

Gu Gu Changsheng had a familiar air about him.

"Yo, little Han."

Han Qin looked at Gu Gu Changsheng, not surprised in the slightest, not only because the master of this mansion was the Vice-Director of the Imperial Observatory and Gu Gu Changsheng was the Director, but also because in these past few days, Gu Gu Changsheng had come to Jiang Fu at least twice a day.

"We're all our own people, I'll just go in myself."

"By the way, Brother Jiang is in the mansion, right?"

"He is."

Han Qin nodded.

'This First-Rank figure who is famous throughout the world is truly approachable.'

He thought to himself.

Since Jiangjiang Linxian entered the Capital, he had also seen some First-Rank powerhouses.

Those great figures each had their own distinct temperaments.

But one like Gu Gu Changsheng, who maintained a childlike heart like a cheerful little Daoist priest, was truly one of a kind.

After speaking, Gu Gu Changsheng walked into the courtyard on his own.

Before long.

He arrived in Jiangjiang Linxian's room.

Looking at Jiangjiang Linxian in the room, Gu Gu Changsheng said: "Brother Jiang, have you thought it over? The opportunity is rare; I spent quite a lot of breath to trade it from Fellow Daoist Wang. If you miss this village, there won't be this shop."

Jiangjiang Linxian shook his head: "Brother Gu, you should know my situation. The cultivation world... it is better not to go."

Correct.

The opportunity Gu Gu Changsheng spoke of was precisely going to the cultivation world.

There was a great figure in Bai Bai Yu Jing who wanted to receive Daoist Wang back, but besides Daoist Wang himself, two others had come from Bai Bai Yu Jing: one named Tan Yu, and one named Yu Yu Ziyi.

Both were Heaven-Image Realm; since the two of them could leave, then other Heaven-Image Realm cultivators could as well.

Gu Gu Changsheng had already reached an agreement with Tan Yu.

To let Jiangjiang Linxian go to the cultivation world in Tan Yu's place.

It only lacked Jiangjiang Linxian's nod of agreement.

Gu Gu Changsheng sighed softly.

Jiangjiang Linxian insisted on staying in the Jin Ting Small Grotto-Heaven, naturally for the sake of Huang Huang Long Zi.

But the matter of the Immortal Fruit had already been targeted by Wan Wan Fadian, and it would certainly attract the attention of powerhouses from Wan Wan Fadian; even Dao Lords were possible.

If a Dao Lord happened to pay attention here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Gu Changsheng's gaze became resolute: "Brother Jiang, I'm afraid this matter is no longer up to you."

A flash of surprise crossed Jiangjiang Linxian's eyes.

But before he could react, Gu Gu Changsheng arrived before him in an instant, extending his right finger to tap Jiangjiang Linxian's brow.

Instantly.

Jiangjiang Linxian only felt countless strange memories flooding into his mind.

There was a finger shattering stars.

There was a Jingguan (monument of heads) piled up from the corpses of gods and demons.

Very quickly.

Jiangjiang Linxian could not withstand the surging impact on his spiritual sense, his entire body went limp, and he fainted directly.

Seeing this, Gu Gu Changsheng simply hoisted Jiangjiang Linxian up.

And then vanished into thin air.

Outside the Capital is an endless plain.

But if one were to go another hundred miles north, one could see the Taiheng Mountains, which suddenly rose from the ground and stretched for tens of thousands of miles, as if they could block even flying birds.

The Northern Plains barbarians have always been the heart-trouble of the Central Plains dynasties.

Before the Yu and Su Xuan dynasties, there was another dynasty named Hao, which was destroyed by those Northern barbarians.

Then followed a thousand years of ritual collapse and musical ruin, trapped in endless flames of war.

It was not until the founding emperor of the Su Xuan Kingdom pacified the Central Plains.

Later came the Yu Kingdom.

The founding emperor also fought the Northern Plains barbarians countless times.

Setting the Capital here.

Had quite a bit of the meaning of the Son of Heaven guarding the national gate.

Once the Northern Plains cavalry crossed the Taiheng Mountains, the Capital would be the final checkpoint.

After that.

It would be an endless plain.

Within a single night, the Northern Plains cavalry could gallop thousands of miles, and no army would be able to stop a Northern Plains cavalry already in a charge.

At this time.

Deep within the Taiheng Mountains.

Amidst the dense forest, several figures appeared under an ancient tree that reached the heavens.

Among them was none other than He He Jiuxuan.

Besides him, the others were also powerhouses from the North Pole Immortal Sect.

Unlike other Immortal Sects, the cultivators of the North Pole Immortal Sect included not only normal cultivators like him, but also demonic cultivators, evil cultivators, and one could even see Buddhist cultivators.

Such a strange lineup, gathered here.

For the sake of the Black Prison next to that city a hundred miles away.

He He Jiuxuan looked at an existence with a bear's head and a human body.

Black-Heart True Person.

He is one of the seven First-Rank figures of the North Pole Immortal Sect.

To be able to make a Land Immortal leave the Northern Plains and come to the Central Plains hinterland just a hundred miles from the Capital, the matter was naturally extremely important.

Rescuing Si Feng.

Or perhaps it should be said—killing Si Feng.
