Chapter 46: Huang San Leaves Golden Turtle Island and Receives Heavenly Gift at Blue Lotus Platform

  Tongtian Sect Master, as a saint, has very few things that can catch his eye. Jin'ao Island is the headquarters of the Intercepting Sect, with many treasures, and the only thing that can make Tongtian Sect Master look at it with admiration is not his Four Swords of Extermination, nor the Qingfeng Flying Sword, but that strain of Chaotic Blue Lotus!

  This green lotus, has been in existence since the dawn of time, and can be said to be a unique treasure, even Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun have coveted it for ages. For billions of years, the Tongtian Teachings Master has kept it stored within his divine eyes, using the pure and true divine power of his divine eyes to nourish it, only then did five lotus flowers bloom!

  Any one of them is worth a precious treasure that can grant eternal life, and even the Master of the Heavenly Gate wouldn't trade it!

  This green lotus and Tongtian Sect Master's hearts are connected, why did they lose contact with the largest one today?

  Who dares to be so bold and steal from me?!

  The Tongtian Sect Master stood at the entrance of the cave, furious, and that Golden Spirit Holy Mother had already come out to greet him.

  "Who has entered the Green Lotus Cave?!"

  Seeing the unprecedented anger on Tongtian Sect Master's face, Jinling Shengmu suddenly knelt down: "Master, Huang Shiren came today and said he was sent to deliver your decree to enter Qinglian Cave for cultivation. I have been keeping watch outside..."

  "Huang Shiren!" The Tianxian Sect Master's face turned red with rage upon hearing this name!

  Replace anyone, and they would have a way to deal with it. If someone stole Qinglian, they would definitely make him disappear. But this drunkard is an exception. He can't be beaten or scolded. It seems that Qinglian has fallen into the tiger's mouth!

  The Master of Tongtian entered the Qinglian Cave, but was stunned for a moment.

  Only in the lotus pond, on top of the green lotus leaves, five lotus flowers were originally there, but now one was really gone. Huang Shiren was lying naked on the ground, wailing and howling like a ghost.

  "You beast!" Tianxian Sect Master saw that the lotus flower was really gone, and he jumped up like thunder, his divine consciousness swept across, and saw that in Huang Shiren's Mud Ball Palace, a green lotus was shining brightly, and had already recognized its master.

  "How dare you! You actually dared to steal my Qinglian! Huang Shiren, even if your master Lu Ya had such an idea, he would not have dared to do so! Die!" The Tongtian Sect Master raised his palm, ready to strike and kill him with one slap.

  "Master, kill me! I know I've made a big mistake! I regret it! Kill me! But after you kill me, don't forget to take care of my brothers and those little demons, and promote them too. Then I'll die without regrets!" Huang Shiren knelt down on the ground, wailing and crying, welcoming death voluntarily.

  Why is this guy so aware of the situation? The Tianyun Sect Master was slightly stunned.

  He's willing, this guy has a sharp tongue and thick skin, he'll definitely quibble, how could he actively seek death.

  "Master, I heard from Duobao that the cultivation in Qinglian Cave is very good, so I came to take a look. Originally, I was just a small demon who had never seen the world, and only wanted to take a look, so I deceived Jinling Shizi, don't blame her. After entering, I really felt deeply moved, and admired Master's treatment of us, the demonic sect, with utmost sincerity."

  "Look left, look right, think this lotus flower is really rare in the world, beautiful to no end. Don't look at me being unorthodox every day, but also have a heart that loves beauty, so I'll go over and grab it to take a sniff, who knew that flower was too fragile, not paying attention for a moment and it came off, straight into my body!"

  "Master, what kind of monster is this lotus flower that has run into my Mud Ball Palace? Is it going to possess me?! Master, please kill me! I don't want to become a lotus flower and turn into a monster! I want to eat meat! I want to drink wine! And I still want to see the beautiful Golden Spirit Sister!"

  "Master, just kill me! After that, you can tell that cheap master of mine that his disciple is unfilial and couldn't even see him off in death."

  Old Huang spoke with such sorrow that he cried and sobbed, his words were sincere and heartfelt, and they poured out like a fountain!

  The Master of Tongtian saw this guy like this, and even his iron and stone heart softened slightly.

  Tongtian Sect Master may be arrogant, but it's absolutely impossible to kill him. After all, he has a great relationship with the Seal of God and the Intercepting Sect. His master is Lu Yao, who is not easy to provoke either. This guy doesn't know the details about Qinglian, and even if he did, it would probably be unintentional. Besides, that Qinglian flower has already recognized its master, so even if this guy were killed, it would be useless.

  Tongtian Jiaozhu's heart was in a mess, and he let out a long sigh. In a deep voice, he said: "Huang Shiren, you come with me."

  "Roger!"

  The Master of Tongtian led Huang Shiren into the Grand Temple and ordered people to gather all the immortals from Jinxiao Island.

  A group of immortals were extremely curious about something.

  "Huang Shiren, you are a disciple of Lu Ya Dao's brother. You have been on Jin Ao Island for some years now. I let you cultivate on Jin Ao Island out of respect for Lu Ya Dao, but since you are not a disciple of the Zheng Jiao sect, it is not suitable for you to stay here either. From today onwards, leave quickly."

  "Master!" As soon as he heard that the leader of the Tongtian Sect was driving him away, Old Huang was stunned.

  "Master, I know that for the past few years, I've caused enough trouble on Jin Ao Island. I also know that my fellow disciples hate me to the bone. But to be honest, this island has already become a home to me." Old Huang wiped away his tears and continued: "Master, I was born without a loving father or mother, drifting alone in the world. After arriving here, you showed me great care and concern, and my fellow disciples also took good care of me. If I've made mistakes, please punish me, Master, but don't drive me away!"

  "Master, I beg of you!"

  Lao Huang's words also came from the heart.

  Although he was mischievous by nature, when had he ever received so much care and warmth. Especially the kindness of Tongtian Sect Master towards himself, he understood it more than anyone else.

  These words made all the immortals sigh endlessly, especially Duobao Daoren.

  "Master, although Huang is mischievous and has a bad temper, he's not a bad person at heart. Please forgive him this one time."

  "Enough." The Tianxian Sect Master saw Huang Shiren crying like a child, not speaking nonsense as he usually did, but with genuine sincerity and unable to bear it.

  Huang Shiren! I've kept you here, and you can be considered to have received blessings, but the path of cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao is important, relying on one's own efforts, not others' cultivation. Moreover, with the Heavenly Tribulation about to begin, a key figure like you staying on my Golden Turtle Island every day is not in line with the will of Heaven. Otherwise, how could I have done so?!

  Tongtian Jiaozhu's plan Huang Shiran didn't know, he only knew that he was staying on Jin'ao Island, very good, very good!

  "Huang Shiren, I've lost all hope in you! Leave the island tomorrow!" The Tianyun Sect Master turned and left with a flick of his sleeve.

  All the immortals also quietly retreated, leaving only Huang Shiren and Duobao standing on the scene.

  "Huang Shidi, the master's decree is absolute and cannot be withdrawn. You'd better obey it. The master might have also considered you, besides, in the future when there's a chance, you can still come back." Du Bao hurriedly comforted Huang Shiren who was heartbroken and distressed.

  Huang Shiren sighed and quietly left the hall.

  Returned to the cave mansion, and Jin Dacheng packed up their luggage together. It was really a sad and mournful occasion, enough to make one cry to death.

  It wasn't until evening that Huang Shiren felt he had indeed received a lot of kindness from Tongtian Jiao's master over the years, and it wasn't his style to leave without saying goodbye, so he went alone to Biyu Palace.

  Arrived at the residence of Tongtian Sect Master, couldn't see Shuihuo Daotong, the door opened, Tongtian Sect Master sat upright on a nine-dragon sedan chair made of fragrant wood, and smiled slightly: "Lai Tou, why not come in?"

  Huang Shiran quickly knelt down and paid his respects.

  "Are you all packed up?"

  "It's all set."

  "You scoundrel." Tianyun Sect Master saw Huang Shiren's worried and bitter face, and chuckled.

  "I let you leave the island, can't you just obey?"

  "I dare not disobey. Indeed, I have caused trouble for many people in recent years."

  "You still have some self-awareness, huh." The Tianyun Sect Master stroked his beard and smiled, then said in a deep voice: "I'm letting you leave the island, not because of your nonsense, but for another reason."

  "What reason?"

  "At first, my master Hongjun Daozu said that you, this bald head, have a great relationship with the seal of the gods and the calamity of my sect."

  Hong Jun Dao Zu are all staring at me! What virtue and what ability do I have?!

  Huang Shiren didn't expect that his meddling with the Ranking of Gods would catch the attention of Hong Jun, the Ancestor of Dao, and was frightened to the point where his hair stood on end.

  "Master, what does this great calamity have to do with me and our sect?"

  "This is a heavenly secret and must not be revealed."

  "I knew you'd say that."

  "Heh heh, if it weren't for that, would Lu Ya's brother take you as his disciple? You think you'd be living so comfortably on this Golden Turtle Island?" Tongtian Sect Master laughed and said: "Baldy, I'm letting you leave because the Great Tribulation of the Sealing Gods is approaching. Staying here won't do you any good. After leaving, be careful and cautious. Your cunning mind won't suffer losses, but you need to guard against those people from Western Kunlun."

  "I understand."

  "Cultivating immortality and seeking the Tao is a pursuit of our kind, but it's difficult to know who can understand its hardships. You have good fortune, take care of yourself."

  "Thank you, Master!" Huang Shiren felt warmth in his heart seeing Tongtian's reaction.

  "Master, I'm leaving the island, that means I'll be all alone, without your care, it's really scary. Since I'm so important to you, shouldn't you give me a life-saving treasure to take with me?"

  "You scoundrel! Didn't you steal my Qinglian?!"

  "Isn't it just a lotus flower?"

  "A lotus flower!? How dare you!" Tianyun Sect Master slapped the dust off Huang Shiren's head, and he let out a miserable cry as he knelt to the ground.

  "Primordial Azure Lotus, born before heaven and earth, was damaged by the great god Pangu's opening of the sky and earth. The 24-petaled lotus flower transformed into 24 creation jade discs, recording the 3,000 Great Ways. Later, it was obtained by my master, Hong Jun, who used it to prove his Dao! The five leaves of the Primordial Azure Lotus transformed into the Ten Great Primordial Spiritual Treasures: the Five Elements Flag, the Qian Kun Ding, the Twelve Ranks Lotus Platform, the Mountain and River Sheji Map, the Hetu Luoshu, the Seven Treasure Wondrous Tree, the Heavenly Book, the Earthly Book, the Netherworld Book, and the Red Embroidered Ball. The lotus stem transformed into the God-Slaying Spear that can harm saints, each one being a supreme treasure in heaven and earth!"

  "This green lotus of mine is one of the five lotus seeds of the Primordial Green Lotus, born from the Great Dao by my revered master Hongjun. Although it's a remnant of the Primordial Green Lotus, it's even more precious because of that. It takes tens of millions of years for the five lotus flowers to bloom, and you, bald head, stole the largest one! You still say it's just a lotus flower? I'll kill you!"

  The master of Tongtian got angrier and angrier as he spoke.

  Huang Shiren quickly changed the subject: "Master, the Chaotic Green Lotus has five lotus seeds. One of them is this green lotus, what about the other four?"

  The master of the Tongtian Sect let out a long sigh and said, "As for the remaining four, they transformed into four twelve-petaled lotus platforms. The first one is the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, which belongs to the Daoist sect that guides people. Sitting on this platform, nothing can be broken, and it is an object that governs the flow of energy in the Western teachings. The second one is the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus of Karma Fire, which belongs to the Blood Sea and Dark River. Sitting on this platform, nothing can be broken, and it burns karma into karma fire, capable of both offense and defense. The third one is the Twelve-Petaled Black Lotus of Destruction, which was obtained by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hui. Sitting on this platform, nothing can be broken, and it can absorb violent and destructive energy. However, after Luo Hui was defeated by my master, the whereabouts of this black lotus are unknown. The fourth one is the Twelve-Petaled Blue Lotus of Creation, which sits on a platform that cannot be broken and can purify all things in heaven and earth. This blue lotus is also the only one among the four great lotus platforms that was divided up. The lotus flower transformed into Elder Brother's staff, the lotus root transformed into Second Brother's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the lotus leaf transformed into my Qingping Sword. This is also the origin of the saying 'Red flowers, white roots, green leaves - the three teachings are originally one family'."

  "Wow!" Huang Shiren had no idea there were so many stories inside, and he listened with relish.

  The Tongtian Sect Master stretched out his palm, and with a light wave, the blue lotus flew out from Huang Shiren's spiritual platform. The sect master merged it with his own immortal energy, striking out a series of immortal seals. In an instant, the blue lotus transformed into a blue-colored lotus pedestal, with twenty-four lotus petals, radiating boundless light.

  "This lotus platform, born from the five lotus seeds of the primordial green lotus, is the most special one. You've been saying that I didn't give you a treasure, now I'll fulfill your wish. With this lotus platform, if not for a saint, it would be hard to kill you." The Heavenly Master returned the lotus platform back into Huang Shiren's body, and Huang Shiren was overjoyed.

  "Master, I wonder if this lotus platform of mine can compare with those four twelve-petaled lotus platforms?"

  "Each has its pros and cons."

  "What does this mean?"

  Those four twelve-petaled lotus platforms all have a common characteristic, which is that they are the ultimate treasure of defense, and nothing can break them. In addition to this, each also has its own characteristics: the greatest function of the Golden Lotus of Merit is to spread auspicious energy; precisely because there is such an ultimate treasure, the Taoist patriarch said that in the future, the Western Paradise will have a day of prosperity. The greatest function of the Red Lotus of Karma Fire is that it can attack with karma fire, and both offense and defense are prepared. The greatest function of the Black Lotus of Destruction is to absorb violent energy and attack; similarly, there is both offense and defense. The greatest function of the Green Lotus of Creation is to purify all things in heaven and earth.

  "As for the subtlety of this green lotus platform you've obtained, let me tell it to you slowly."

  The Master of Tongtian smiled slightly and said something that made Huang Shiren dance with joy.

  The second update is online. Overtime, I'm exhausted to death. Back home writing, starving to the bone. Fellow Taoists, naked run for votes!
