As the three performed hand seals, the terrifying aura emanating from their bodies grew stronger and stronger, as if the entire space was enveloped by this aura.

When the three of them reached their peak, they shouted in unison, "Open!"

Everyone stared intently, and saw a triangular barrier suddenly appear in the very center of Fallen Immortal Valley.

The barrier was completely transparent, like glass, and gradually it began to dissipate.

After the barrier dissipated, everyone's attention was drawn to a lotus flower in the center.

This lotus flower has a purple-jade-like color all over, and is crystal clear with its petals layered one on top of another.

From the base of the stem to the flower bud, it emits a faint ten-colored light, making this lotus plant appear even more extraordinary.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be found that the ten-colored light only emanates from the outer and inner parts of the flower bud.

The inside of the flower bud, however, remained the color of purple jade, with no light shining through.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian murmured to himself, "It seems that only when the flower bud also emits ten-colored light can this purple lotus be considered truly mature."

Just then, the patriarch of the Human Cult suddenly shouted, "Everyone, if we don't infuse our magic power now to help it mature, when will we ever get another chance!"

Before the words were even finished, tens of thousands of people present unleashed their magical power, pouring it into the purple lotus like a torrent.

However, just as everyone was continuously channeling their magical power into the Purple Lotus...

Yuan Zhexian, however, seemed out of place.

He stood in mid-air, his hands behind his back, firmly rooted to the spot. His gaze calmly fell upon the purple lotus, silently observing the crowd without taking any action.

The three ancestors of the Human Sect, the Jade Void Sect, and the Intercepting Heaven Sect all poured their magical power into the Purple Lotus upon seeing everyone.

After exchanging a glance, they both unconsciously curled up a strange, sly smile.
