Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 364 Lotus of the Nine Heavens

When Bai Rouyun heard Xiao Bao's words, she also began to feel her fingers itch. Although the flower would pose a great risk to their group, great danger often brought great fortune. If she could open the next two floors of the Primal Chaos Pagoda, then it would be worth the risk they were taking, not to mention, as long as the Lotus of the Nine Heavens was placed within the Primal Chaos Pagoda, it would be cut off from the outside world and would not be found by others, unless they decided to mention it themselves.

Li Moyun was looking at Bai Rouyun's eyes that lit up with excitement, and shook his head dotingly with a smile on his lips. He understood her choice and respected her decision. If the Lotus of the Nine Heavens was truly in the middle of this tunnel, then they would already be at risk, whether they took it away or not. In that case, it was better to benefit from the flower than to let go of all benefits and still risk their lives.

"Well, then, let us continue forward." Li Moyun spoke gently, and everyone had gotten renewed energy, filled with excitement and expectations, but still not daring to let down their guards or vigilance.

The rest of the tunnel was eventless. Nothing living appeared, and no dangers sprung up, making their advance much swifter than before. The further into the tunnels they went, the sweeter the air surrounding them became, and the purer the energy in the atmosphere was, causing their dantians to automatically absorb and refine the energy while they were walking.

"There is a light ahead." Xiao Jin spoke first. Her voice was low and she tried to ensure that only her family could hear her, but due to the silent tunnels, the voice appeared higher than expected.

Even so, nothing happened, and the group all looked towards the direction Xiao Jin mentioned. There, as she said, a gentle silvery light shone into the tunnels.

"The light has a gentle pink sheen." Jiaojiao looked at the silvery light in front, and was filled with amazement as she noticed a gentle pink sheen shimmering within the silvery light. "It feels very comfortable."

It was not only Jiaojiao who noticed this; the whole group had seen the gentle light in front of them, and all of them felt that it was both beatiful and elegant; comfortable and soothing.

The group slowly reached the light. They no longer moved as swiftly as before, and although the gentle light made them feel comfortable and at ease, none of them let down their guards as they advanced.

However, as soon as they turned around the corner, a sight beyond their expectation appeared in front of them. They had reached the center of the tunnels, and many tunnel openings were leading into the circular chamber they had reached, but none of these tunnel openings were attracking their attention, everything was focused on the beautiful lotus in the center.

A crystal-blue lake took up the majority of the chamber, and in the middle of the lake, a man-sized lotus was blooming. The lotus was, like the light, silvery-white in the core, but the very tip of the petals was deep pink, and the closer to the core of the lotus they came, the lighter the pink became, until it had completely disappeared.

There was not only one lotus within the lake, groups of lotuses were placed in clusters throughout the entire body of water, but none of them could rival the one in the middle in neither size nor color.

"So beautiful." Bai Rouyun had been holding her breath ever since she noticed the lotus in front of her. She was unable to describe the holiness and awe she felt when looking at this flower in front of her. It was as if all living beings were nothing placed next to such a treasure.

Not only Bai Rouyun was astonished by this beautiful lotus, Li Moyun and the children were equally amazed.

However, while Li Moyun and the children stood still, Bai Rouyun slowly approached the flower, one step at a time. As she took a step, a small lotus made from light lit up beneath her feet, and slowly, a trail of lotuses appeared in her wake.

Li Moyun and the children soon found that their bodies had been paralyzed by the awe of this lotus, and only Bai Rouyun was capable of moving. She did not seem to notice their current situation, and the only thing within her eyes was the flower in front of her.

As she reached the shore of the lake, Bai Rouyun did not hesitate to keep moving forward, and the lotus patterns beneath her feet kept sprouting, making it possible for her to step on the surface of the lake, as if she was stepping on the firm ground itself.

It did not take long for Bai Rouyun to reach the lotus, but instead of putting it into the Primal Chaos Pagoda right away, her hand slowly descended and she gently caressed the lotus petals. Her appearance was the same as before, but her aura had completely changed.

"It has been a long time," she said, her voice sounding etheral and different from before. "Although I have been slumbering for many years, I am starting to awaken. You, as my faithful companion, is also waking up to travel with me once more."

As Bai Rouyun finished speaking a few vines left the Lotus and gently wrapped around Bai Rouyun's wrist, tugging her gently, before it volunteeringly entered the Primal Chaos Dimension.
