Chapter 225: Refining the Lotus Platform's Origin, Comprehending the Grand Primordial Canon!

Chen Ku's words left Jin Ning, standing beside him, dumbstruck.

What a fellow!

You, a Western disciple, dare to order a Saint around?

Simply heaven-defying!

Jin Ning was shocked to the extreme, staring at Chen Ku with a strange expression.

No wonder she reacted that way.

After all, the Saint is supreme, a single word commands all beings—so it's only natural.

Yet someone like Chen Ku, who with a single sentence gets the Saint to act on his behalf, is the first ever to do so.

This kid is likely to provoke the Saint's anger and suffer for it.

Jin Ning naturally thought so.

Little did he know.

Hearing Chen Ku's words, Nüwa merely showed a hint of surprise.

However, the expected anger did not appear.

Even after a moment's thought, Nüwa immediately nodded.

"Good!"

That single word instantly left Jin Ning even more astonished.

The Saint.... really agreed?!

Just how much face does this kid have.

And then, Chen Ku's next sentence finally made Jin Ning realize.

"Hehe, today's affair can offset part of the karma!"

Not bad!

That is precisely where Chen Ku's confidence comes from.

When Nüwa first created humanity, she had also received Chen Ku's "guidance" and his personal assistance.

The karma of attaining Sainthood is immense, and Nüwa has yet to repay it.

That is why Chen Ku is so confident, knowing Nüwa will surely not refuse his request.

Moreover, the karma Nüwa owes is astonishing.

Even though the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus is a supreme innate spiritual treasure, it cannot fully cancel it.

Therefore, what Chen Ku said only offsets "part" of the karma.

This also exactly suits Nüwa's wishes.

Karma clinging to one is ultimately an inescapable bond and shackle for a Saint.

"Since that's the case, junior disciple, please wait here a moment."

"I'll go and return shortly."

Nüwa said thus, as if requesting the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus were merely a simple matter.

As her words fell, Nüwa's figure flickered and she had already vanished into the Nüwa Palace.

At the same time.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Demon Court.

At one moment, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others in secluded cultivation all felt something, suddenly opened their eyes, and fixed their gaze on a certain direction.

They saw endless holy light suddenly appear, wrapping Nüwa's peerless graceful silhouette, which gradually manifested.

"We pay our respects to Saint Nüwa!"

The Demon Court's populace hastily performed rites, daring not to be the slightest negligent.

At the same time, Di Jun and Taiyi also felt a sense of puzzlement.

Saint Nüwa, why have you suddenly descended into the Demon Court?

You should know, previously he, in the name of the Ten Golden Cubs' birth, had Fuxi invite Nüwa, but she refused without hesitation.

Amid the doubts of those few.

Nüwa calmly glanced at Di Jun and Taiyi.

"No need for excessive courtesy!"

"I have come this time to request that Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus."

"I hope the Demon Emperor will graciously hand over that treasure to me."

Upon hearing this, Di Jun and Taiyi's faces changed, their hearts tumultuous.

Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus?!

Why does Nüwa demand that spiritual treasure?!

Although a supreme innate spiritual treasure is extraordinary, it seems not so important to a Saint.

Taiyi remained silent, brows furrowed.

And Di Jun voiced the doubt in his heart.

"I don't know why the Saint seeks the Pure World White Lotus—what is it for?!"

His words fell.

Beneath the holy light, Nüwa showed no reaction at all, a silent stillness.

Finding the inquiry uninteresting, Di Jun's expression stalled.

He also knew Nüwa would not answer his query.

Di Jun appeared deep in thought, and after a moment still nodded.

"Since the Saint has spoken, we dare not be disrespectful!"

"This is the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus."

With a thought, Di Jun took out the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus and handed it to Nüwa.

In response, Nüwa merely gave a faint nod.

Afterwards, she said nothing more, turned and left, disappearing beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

As a Saint, there is naturally no need to thank Di Jun, Taiyi, and the others.

Only after Nüwa had completely vanished did Di Jun and Taiyi come to their senses.

Both of them wore puzzled expressions.

A moment later, Taiyi furrowed his brows, as if somewhat displeased, and said:

"Even though Nüwa is a Saint, this action is perhaps a bit too overbearing."

"That Pure World White Lotus is a supreme innate spiritual treasure; did you just take it away so easily?"

Evidently, he was somewhat unwilling.

The Demon Court repeatedly suffered heavy blows, sustaining grave losses.

Now, for them, the utility of a supreme innate spiritual treasure is all the more precious.

He naturally did not want to lose it.

However, upon hearing this, Di Jun did not turn back, speaking with a slight admonishing tone:

"Silence! We must not rashly discuss the Saint!"

Only then did Taiyi realize he had misspoken, and thereafter remained silent.

Di Jun, meanwhile, gazed in the direction Nüwa had disappeared and continued:

"Previously, our failed attempt to seize the Primordial Purple Qi left the Demon Court with no hope of producing a Saint."

"In the future, we should still maintain good relations with Saint Nüwa."

"As long as we can gain the Saint's protection, what is a mere supreme innate spiritual treasure?!"

Di Jun's considerations were quite far-reaching.

The Kunpeng has no hope of proving the Dao.

In the future, there will be many more occasions for the Demon Court to have use of Saint Nüwa.

Therefore, Di Jun was unwilling to offend Nüwa over that single Pure World White Lotus.

Taiyi also knew that Di Jun's words were reasonable.

He likewise withdrew his gaze, no longer dwelling on the matter.

"We should still hurry with our cultivation."

Finally, as Taiyi's words left his mouth, the Demon Court once again returned to its ancient tranquility.

The two of them also entered seclusion again, wholeheartedly raising their cultivation, or perhaps going to refine spiritual treasures.

The Saint's speed is extremely swift.

Within Nüwa's Palace, for Chen Ku, it was merely the snap of a finger.

At a certain moment, Nüwa's form reappeared.

And the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus hovered within her jade palm.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's eyes lit up.

"As expected of a Saint, the efficiency is indeed high!"

"Hehe, Di Jun indeed dared not disobey!"

He thought to himself thus.

Everything matched his expectations exactly.

Thus, the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus finally came into his possession.

The Four Lotus Platforms were all gathered together.

On the other side, Nüwa looked at Chen Ku, perhaps having already perceived his thoughts.

However, Nüwa did not say much more.

Having handed the Pure World White Lotus to Chen Ku, Nüwa also seemed not curious as to why he wanted this spiritual treasure.

She merely spoke softly:

"In the future, junior disciple, if you have any other matters, you may still come here."

"What this palace can do, I will not refuse."

Nüwa doing so is naturally not out of great benevolence, wishing to continually assist Chen Ku.

Rather, Nüwa wishes to quickly conclude all the karmic ties of her sainthood, so as to free herself from all bonds and shackles.

Chen Ku, too, was fully aware of this.

"Junior, I will keep it in mind!"

"Today, I have thanked my uncle-master for his assistance."

He responded with a smile in that manner.

Thereafter, without further words, Chen Ku took his leave.

Just as Chen Ku left the Great Primordial Heaven, the gates of Nüwa's Palace also slowly closed once again.

The vast Great Primordial Heaven was silent and soundless.

Evidently, were it not for the karmic ties of her sainthood, Nüwa would also rarely concern herself with worldly affairs, and would have no intention of meeting other cultivators.

On the other hand.

The Pure World White Lotus is in hand.

This time, Chen Ku did not continue wandering the world.

The Gate of Myriad Wonders opened, and he directly returned to Western Mount Sumeru.

Descending onto the mountaintop, Chen Ku stepped into the Great Thunder Sound Temple.

This place is a sage's dao field; perhaps other living beings have no qualification to rashly enter it.

But Chen Ku obviously does not belong to this category.

Upon entering, he saw Jieyin and Zhunti seated in meditation, still preparing for the later discourse.

Seeing Chen Ku approach, Jieyin also showed a smile.

"Hehe, my disciple has come!"

"You previously fought the Underworld River, and once again you have left all beings in awe."

Jieyin opened his mouth, speaking with satisfaction and praise.

He did not ask Chen Ku why he fought the Underworld River; he simply felt that his disciple's performance was truly extraordinary.

Hearing this, Chen Ku smiled and replied with a few sentences.

After that, he said no more.

With a wave of his hand, the Four-sided Lotus Platform instantly appeared.

Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!

Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus!

Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus!

And Nine-grade Merit Golden Lotus!

Not bad!

The Twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus is Jieyin's possession, and it is now used to suppress the fortune of the Buddhist Sect; naturally it cannot be used arbitrarily.

In Chen Ku's view, the Nine-grade Merit Golden Lotus, though slightly lower in grade, should still be sufficient.

Beside them, Jieyin and Zhunti stared, dumbfounded.

"These... the other three Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms are all in your hands?"

Zhunti was filled with shock and astonishment, exclaiming thus.

Jieyin's expression also shifted greatly, mixed with surprise and joy.

In the present world, there are only four Twelve-grade Lotus Platforms in total.

Now, they have all fallen into the Western Buddhist Sect.

Moreover, more importantly, how did Chen Ku obtain the Twelve-grade World-Purifying White Lotus?

Could it be that this brat went to the Demon Court again?!

No!

If he had fought the Demon Court, the commotion would surely have been even more astonishing; the two of us should not have remained unaware.

Jieyin and Zhunti never expected that Chen Ku could have a sage act on his behalf to demand a spiritual treasure.

Chen Ku nodded.

"Master, Uncle-master, Disciple has come precisely to ask the two of you to act."

"Please use the power of a sage to enlighten these Four Great Lotus Platforms, returning them to their primordial state."

Hearing Chen Ku's words, Jieyin and Zhunti were both taken aback.

"You want......"

Jieyin's divine sense is keen, his thoughts clear.

In an instant, he had already guessed Chen Ku's purpose.

Returning the lotus platforms to their primordial state is surely for the purpose of merging.

This... is too explosive!

You should know, this kind of plot is downright crazy.

Once the lotus platforms return to their primordial state but fail to merge successfully, their original quality will suffer great damage.

Even a drop in grade is not impossible.

But seeing Chen Ku's resolute expression, and not saying much more, Jieyin also knew that his disciple had made up his mind.

Out of absolute trust in Chen Ku, Jieyin said no more.

"Good!"

Immediately, Jieyin and Zhunti took action.

Only see the two releasing a vast, unparalleled, terrifyingly abnormal power of cosmic order.

Or more accurately, that is a manifest manifestation of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Under the boundless mighty power, the Four Great Lotus Platforms hovered high, bursting forth with billions of feet of divine radiance and immortal light.

The entire Great Thunder Sound Temple was illuminated, shining brilliantly, mysteriously divine.

The Four Great Lotus Platforms each differed, emitting different auspicious glows that interreflected, making them even more extraordinary.

Chen Ku clearly saw that, under such sage's means, the Four Great Lotus Platforms were indeed gradually returning to their primordial state.

Chen Ku could not help but silently sigh.

"As expected of a sage's methods."

"Although I have comprehended much of the Heavenly Dao's principles, I still fall short."

He clearly sensed the gap between himself and a true sage.

Chen Ku merely controls much of the Heavenly Dao.

And Jieyin and Zhunti, as sages, have their fruition entrusted to the void of the Heavenly Dao.

In a certain sense, they have already merged with the Heavenly Dao.

Under the Saint, all are ants; this saying applies equally to Chen Ku.

The only difference, perhaps, is whether one is pinched to death by a finger or crushed by a palm.

Finally, the origins of the four great lotus platforms are fully revealed, visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Chen Ku knew he too should act.

The Saint's mighty power returns to the origin!

And when Chen Ku acts, he aids himself with Solar True Fire, continually smelting the lotus platform's origin.

First melt it, then the fusion can begin.

Solar True Fire, which Chen Ku has long mastered, now deployed, is as easy as using an arm to direct a finger.

Compared to Di Jun Taiyi, its power is not lacking at all.

Violent heat radiates out, and the four masses of lotus platform origin rise and fall within it, intertwining and transforming.

In just a few days, the origin of the Nine Rank Merit Golden Lotus melted first.

Its rank is slightly lower, so it also could not withstand the power of Solar True Fire first.

And the melting of the Merit Golden Lotus is only the beginning.

After an unknown amount of time, the other three masses of lotus platform origin also completely melted.

Solar True Fire continued to blaze fiercely.

This time, under the roasting of Divine Fire, the four origins began to merge.

Chen Ku stared unblinking, holding his breath in anticipation.

This matter is of great importance and allows no mistake.

At a certain moment, his sea of consciousness suddenly stirred.

The prompt of heaven-defying comprehension sounded without any omen.

【You have refined the Primordial Lotus Platform Origin, your weapon-refining skill has increased, and you have comprehended the Primordial Unity Instrument Canon!】

Feeling this prompt, Chen Ku instantly rejoiced!
