No one has ever seen the Chaos Pearl, and its Dao is unseen.
According to the evolution of the Great Dao, the Great Dao of Creation is responsible for opening up a world and laying the foundation for the stage. The Jade Disc of Creation represents the role of the director, while the Great Dao represented by the Chaos Green Lotus is the actor and prop.
All three are projections of the Great Dao, and they are not inferior to each other. Hongjun achieved the Dao of Harmony with the Heavenly Dao by relying on the almost complete Jade Disc of Creation. Whether in terms of supernatural powers or Dao cultivation, he is unparalleled in the world. However, Hongjun has his limits. Compared to Xuantian's good fortune, Hongjun is far inferior. Xuantian not only has the Great Dao of Creation, but also the Great Dao of the Jade Disc of Creation, and even the Great Dao of the Chaos Green Lotus.
The power of Yin and Yang creation might be unsolvable in Hongjun's hands, but the Chaos Green Lotus is the master of creation, and Xuantian happens to have a part of the Great Dao of Green Lotus creation in his hands.
When the Chaos Lotus was split into four by the Great Calamity of Creation, four lotus seeds of different colors—green, blood, black, and gold—transformed into four twelve-petaled lotus platforms. The blood-colored lotus platform fell into the hands of Styx, the black lotus platform into the hands of Rahu, the gold lotus platform into the hands of Jieyin, and the green lotus platform into the hands of Xuantian.
When Xuan Tian obtained the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus, he was overjoyed. This item was different from other innate spiritual treasures. Although the Twelfth Grade Green Lotus only had forty-one layers of restrictions, it was not as powerful as the innate supreme treasures. In comparison, the function of this Green Lotus was not as great as the Qiankun Gourd. However, Xuan Tian loved it even more than the Qiankun Gourd that had been with him for many years. The fundamental reason was that this Green Lotus had a characteristic: it could refine things of the same origin into itself to improve the quality of the magic weapon.
This property is something that other magical treasures do not possess. It is formed from such a chaotic treasure, and it is also something that only plant-based magical treasures have this effect.
Perhaps others wouldn't be so overjoyed to obtain this magic weapon, because even if they knew it could improve the quality of a magic weapon, they wouldn't be too interested in it, since things that can improve the quality of magic weapons are not easy to obtain.
One is in the hands of Jieyin, a sacred treasure. How could he easily give it away to others? It's better to die for a fellow Daoist than for me. He hasn't even become rich enough to give his own things to others yet. Jieyin doesn't have such a kind heart to do something that benefits others at the expense of himself.
One of them is in the hands of Styx. Although Styx is not a saint, he is not someone to be trifled with. Given his personality, even a saint would have some trouble dealing with him if he were hiding in the Sea of Blood.
The last black lotus is nowhere to be found.
Only Xuan Tian knew all these things. He happened to know some of the events of later generations, the whereabouts of the black lotus, and that the golden lotus meant to guide the spirits would be damaged by someone else. Besides, the Styx River was difficult for others to deal with, but he didn't think that way. With his Qiankun Gourd, his saintly status, and his ruthless methods to achieve his goals, he didn't believe he couldn't get it.
Only in this way could the twenty-four-petaled green lotus be born. Only in this way could Xuan Tian have the ability to transform the power of Yin and Yang and resolve the cause and effect of the great calamity of heaven and earth.
Xuan Tian cursed angrily, "I'm a fucking lunatic. I'm always looking for trouble. And when I do good deeds, no one thanks me..." Despite his words, Xuan Tian had no choice but to take action. After all, this world, whether he liked it or not, was something he cherished and something he cared about. It was only because of this world that he felt a sense of belonging.
Saints are lonely.
Fifty-seven Buddhist sects moved eastward, exchanging cause and effect.
Because Xuan Tian was busy designing the grand array that transformed the malevolent energy produced by cause and effect into the power of Yin and Yang creation, he had no time to attend to the war on Earth. The Confucian school could only protect itself, and the Taoist school was not strong enough to fight against the Buddhist school. In the end, they were no match for it. Cao Cao's forces flourished and broke the tripartite balance of power in one fell swoop. Then, the Buddhist school used the power of the barbarians beyond the Great Wall to invade China. If Xuan Tian had not made preparations in advance and kept the souls of hundreds of thousands of witch soldiers in the Dutian Divine Fiend Array, the Five Barbarian Invasions would probably have happened again.
These sorcerer soldiers' souls were placed by Xuan Tian within the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons. Not only did they absorb the spiritual energy transformed from the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, but they were also fortunate enough to receive spiritual energy replenishment from the dragon vein of China. After hundreds of years of development, the strength of these soldiers' souls had basically reached the level of ghost generals, and their soul bodies were almost becoming physical entities. Compared to the abilities of Void Returning stage cultivators, hundreds of thousands of Void Returning stage soldiers' souls were not a weak force.
Even the Heavenly Court couldn't muster so many cannon fodder in a short time. The Buddhist sect hadn't discovered such a powerful force before. When Xuan Tian set up the Capital God and Demon Formation, Jieyin and Zhunti didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, these hundreds of thousands of military souls have become their biggest problem in their eastward advance.
Caught off guard, the Buddhist sect dispatched a large number of disciples to the mortal realm to assist them. However, they were dismayed to find that the Buddhist light, which was usually very effective against evil spirits and malevolent forces, was of little use against these military spirits. It was like tickling them. The Buddhist disciples were greatly alarmed.
These military spirits are not like those wandering ghosts who drift between heaven and earth, absorbing some mixed spiritual energy. These military spirits are formed by absorbing pure spiritual energy that has been transformed, and they are also nourished by the spiritual energy of the dragon vein. Compared with other ghosts, these hundreds of thousands of military spirits are more like heavenly soldiers. Each one is majestic and awe-inspiring, wearing golden armor. As an army, they obey orders as one, and are even more powerful than heavenly soldiers. Their aura is more like the righteous energy, and they don't seem like ghosts at all.
The fearlessness of the Buddhist spirits is terrifying, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. For a time, even the Buddhist sect couldn't do anything about them. Moreover, Bai Qi and Ying Zheng reside in the dragon vein, and anyone who dares to trespass into the dragon vein with ill intentions will be killed to feed the spirits.
Although the Buddhist sect wanted to send experts down to the mortal realm, they feared being discovered, as several powerful forces in the east were watching them closely. If the Buddhist sect sent experts down, they would inevitably be met with resistance. The Buddhist sect was willing but powerless, and could only watch enviously as the east advanced. The power of hundreds of thousands of military spirits blocked the Buddhist disciples one by one, making it impossible for the Buddhist sect to advance eastward. They had no choice but to seek other methods.
