Chapter 605: Chapter 148: Long Xuhu’s Discovery
A pair of pristine fangs, under the reflection of stars, shimred with specks of chill light, unmatched in sharpness.
“Beast, it’s ti to die!” Li Qingquan revealed a ferocious grin, an overwhelming aura of blood qi emanating from his body, as he rcilessly plunged the green dagger into the wild boar-shaped Fierce Beast’s neck.
“Crack!”
A light sound, and the proud pair of fangs of the wild boar-shaped Fierce Beast was struck by the green dagger, breaking into two sections.
Following that, Li Qingquan flipped his hand downward, sliding the dagger along the beast’s gaping mouth and deeply embedding it into its neck.
“Swish!”
Imdiately, crimson blood spurted out, turning into a spray of blood rain that dyed the surrounding vegetation red.
The wild boar-shaped Fierce Beast’s eyes popped open, and with a “thump”, it fell to the ground, dead.
Once everything was settled, Li Qingming and others arrived shortly after.
Looking at the huge corpse on the ground, Li Qingming asked: “Are you injured, Xiao Er?”
Li Qingquan touched the back of his head and said, “It’s nothing, just a re beast, how could it possibly hurt !”
“Alright! The earlier fluctuation of mana must have attracted more terrifying Fierce Beasts, quickly pack up, we cannot linger here for long.” Li Qingming casually collected the pair of pristine fangs and led everyone away from there, continuing their journey eastward.
Li Qingming and his group had long departed, and suddenly the area was filled with a chaotic sound of footsteps; a group of over four hundred people erged from the dense forest.
It was none other than the Desert North King Huntian and his retinue who first arrived at the island.
“It seems we are still one step too late!” Huntian looked around at the environnt, speaking with a somber expression.
Observing the wounds on the beast, Daoist Zhen Jia, a sleazy cultivator, changed his expression and respectfully said: “My lord! This beast was fatally struck through the throat with a sharp blade!”
Adorned in billowing white robes, holding a feather fan and wearing a silk scarf, Leng Binghan then spoke: “My lord, supposedly we have decommissioned the Star Mark, how could there be others who have reached here?”
“No! The roar of the beast just now clearly implies they have already entered!” Huntian frowned and said: “Here’s what we do, divide our n into three groups, each led by myself, Zhen Jia and Leng Binghan, from three directions converging towards the center. If we encounter other beings from various worlds along the way…”
At this point, a bone-chilling gleam flashed in Huntian’s eyes, his voice as cold as an ice cave: “Spare no one, eliminate them all!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Everyone responded in unison!
Subsequently, the group of over four hundred people divided themselves into groups, with the Fierce Beast’s corpse as the center point, launching an assault toward the east, south, and north. Leading the search toward the true east was the loyal lackey of Desert North King Huntian, Daoist Zhen Jia.
…
Far away, Li Qingming led his group rapidly through the dense forest. Even though so Fierce Beasts spotted them, they fled upon seeing the two fangs in Li Qingming’s hand.
After all, the giant island was vast, and this area was only the periphery of the Beast Fighting Arena. The unfortunate wild boar-shaped Fierce Beast was the ruler of this thirty thousand miles of dense forest.
“Big Senior Brother, this place is imbued with rich Power of Life Law!” Suddenly, Long Xu Hu’s words halted everyone in their tracks.
Li Qingming turned his head to look at Long Xu Hu, noticing the delight in its eyes, and asked, “Are you sure?”
“I’m certain!” Long Xuhu anxiously touched the Dragon Horn, saying, “Big brother, you know too! My main cultivation is the Power of Life Law, and my comprehension of the Life Law is beyond ordinary!”
Speaking thus, he pointed towards the northeast direction, saying, “It’s there, big brother! Just walk another three or four miles in that direction, and you can find the birthplace of the Life Law!”
“Let’s go and have a look!” Li Qingming nodded slightly and led everyone there in an instant.
After passing through dense forests, what appeared before everyone was a serene small valley.
The small valley was about seven hundred zhang in circumference, with waterfalls, deep pools, birds chirping, flowers fragrant, and little animals frolicking – completely mismatched with the vast prival forest outside, it resembled a paradise.
It was unknown why the Fierce Beasts did not co to disturb this place; instead, the valley had beco a playground for a bunch of small animals.
“Where is it?” Despite being amazed by this quiet and peaceful environnt, Li Qingming still asked in an unaffected manner.
Long Xuhu closed his eyes and felt for a while before pointing to a low hill not far away, saying, “There!”
“Whoosh!”
In a flash, everyone reappeared and had already arrived at the foot of that low hill.
The hill was only thirty or forty zhang high, and below it, there was a small lake about three or four zhang in circumference, calm and unruffled!
Suddenly, the water in the lake began to churn violently, and a lush green glow slowly rose from the lake.
Gradually, the light dispersed! What appeared in everyone’s eyes was an immaculate white lotus!
It was three feet tall with ten pure white petals and tendrils standing tall, like a young maiden, fresh, innocent, sacred, and elegant, embodying a kind of carefree beauty that needed no embellishnt.
Its lotus leaves were unique, with no two leaves identical, each one distinct. So leaves resembled auspicious clouds, misty and elusive; so like Divine birds, uniquely exceptional, with shimring halos; others like a Buddha sitting in ditation, mouth emitting a lotus, dignified and majestic!
The entire lotus plant, including petals, leaves, and roots, looked like a hazy small world, the plant crystalline, swirling with a rich vitality power.
“This, this is…” Yin Xi, full of shocked amazent, trembled as he stepped forward and observed carefully before saying, “Yes, it’s exactly that! Alas, it is just a pity, such a pity!”
“What?”
Everyone frowned, not understanding what Yin Xi was talking about.
“Elder, do you recognize this lotus?” Li Qingming’s expression flickered as he eagerly asked.
Yin Xi regained his composure, took a deep breath, and said, “At the beginning of the First Epoch, Pan Gu God used the Foundation of Great Thousand to create Heaven and Earth. Countless God Demons rushed forward, intending to invade Pangu’s Great Thousand World, to seize our Primordial Land. At that ti, Pan Gu God was supporting the heavens with his strength and could not be everywhere at once. Helpless, he took a Chaos Lotus as support, infusing his Mana into the lotus to transform into an avatar of Pan Gu, resisting the hoard of demons! Later, the demons were driven out, and the God also died from exhaustion. After this battle, the lotus disappeared! Unexpectedly, it has reappeared here!”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingming’s eyes burst with joy, saying, “Elder, are you saying this is that very lotus?”
“Yes!” Yin Xi nodded and said, “However…”
“However, what?” Li Qingming pressed.
Yin Xi sighed, saying, “This lotus was in full bloom with thirty-six grades during that battle. After three epochs, now it seems it has reached its limit recovering to these ten grades!”
“Ah!” Li Qingming’s mood instantly fell to the valley.
Shakyamuni long sighed, saying, “Amitabha Buddha! Master Li, what is destined will eventually co, what is not destined should not be forced!”
“Sigh!” Exhaling gently, Li Qingming laughed, “I was indeed too concerned!”
