Lord Long ChenLong Chen paused mid-step, caught off guard. The moment he exited the domain, he realized the white-robed woman hadnt left. She still stood before the entrance, not moving an inch as if frozen in time.
Her clothes were thin, her feet bare. She stood there all alone.
When she saw him, her eyes brightened, but Long Chens brows immediately drew together.
Long Chen, weve heard of this big sister. She doesnt seem to be a bad person. You should have a proper conversation with her, whispered Meng Qi.
Even the always jealous Tang Wan-er nodded in agreement.
Long Chen, go! said Yue Xiaoqian.
After she came out of seclusion, a sacred light clung to her every movement.
In the heaven regions battlefield, Yue Xiaoqians essence rune had completely awakened, but it seemed to be in the midst of some kind of evolution, resulting in her seclusion being longer than everyone else's.
What was strange, however, was that the fluctuations surrounding Yue Xiaoqian faintly resembled those coming from this white-robed woman.
Although Long Chen had no good opinion of this woman, thinking of how she had stood here for several days without moving, he did feel a bit bad.
What do you want? Long Chen asked, his tone softening slightly.
Seeing that he did not reject her, the white-robed woman seemed reinvigorated.
Lord Long Chen, do you have a golden lotus seed?
Long Chens expression immediately changed. Even those closest to him knew nothing of it, so how could she?
With a flash, Long Chen grabbed her and vanished.
How dare he! We said talk to her, not take her! Tang Wan-ers jealous nature immediately flared.
They are talking, Meng Qi said, laughing. They just dont want anyone else to overhear them. Who knows how many spying formations are hidden nearby?
Tang Wan-er immediately fell silent.
That was when the green parrot chose to strike.
Thats where youre wrong. As long as he puts in the effort, no woman can resist him. His sixth lover might be born as we speak.
You only know how to count to six! Shut up! Tang Wan-er snapped. Even knowing the parrot was stirring trouble, she couldnt keep her temper down.
Tch, whats wrong with only being able to count to six? The Grand Dao is the essence of simplicity. It starts at one and ends at six. Being able to count to six is enough, said the parrot with an air of satisfaction and pride.
It starts with one and ends at nine. Nine is the peak, corrected Tang Wan-er.
From one came two, from two came three, and from three came all things. Two threes, three threeswhats the difference? the parrot scoffed.
Tang Wan-er drew a breath to continue the argument, but Meng Qi shook her head. Long Chen had warned them. When it came to talking, the parrot was invincible, and debating with it was pointless.
Elsewhere, Long Chen erected an astral barrier in a remote corner of the domain.
When the white-robed woman saw Long Chens reaction, she realized she had spoken far too rashly. She lowered her head and wrung her hands uneasily. She didnt dare to say a word, seemingly waiting for Long Chens scolding.
Long Chen had indeed wanted to scold her for blurting something so reckless in front of everyone. But faced with her trembling posture, he swallowed the anger.
Why would you ask such a thing? demanded Long Chen coldly.
The white-robed woman anxiously said, I-Im sorry, Im truly sorry. Please forgive me.
Answer me!
I just wanted to know if you had a golden lotus seed she said apprehensively.
So what if I had one or didnt? demanded Long Chen.
If you didnt, then my senses were wrong. If you did, then I would beg Lord Long Chen for his guidance, said the white-robed woman pleadingly.
Your senses? Long Chen was startled.
When we first met, I tried using my inherited methods to share your pain. But the suffering you carry is far beyond what I can endure. After you left, I reflected deeply. Only then did I realizeI sensed a familiar fluctuation from you. So, I had to find you again to confirm it.
As she said this, she extended her hand, and Long Chens pupils shrank.
A golden lotus seed in her hand gave off the same kind of fluctuations as his golden lotus seed.
However, Long Chens golden lotus seed was vibrant and filled with vitality, whereas her lotus seed was completely withered and lightless. It looked almost dead.
This is our Preservation Heavenly Daos inherited treasure. Its light was once great enough to purify all the evils of the world. It could save everyone from the sea of bitterness. However, after the primal chaos war, it grew weaker and weaker. No matter how hard my ancestors worked or what they did, they could not stop its decline. Finally, it reached my hands. My master said that if I was unable to save it in my generation, it would perish. In that case, the Preservation Heavenly Dao would perish with it.
Lord Long Chen, I dont know what happened to you, nor do I know why you have an identical lotus seed. I swear to keep whatever you say secret, I just beg of you can you save it? Save my Preservation Heavenly Dao. Whatever conditions you have, I will accept.
After saying that, she knelt down in front of Long Chen and deeply kowtowed.
Long Chen was conflicted. He was extremely curious about the golden lotus seed, but he couldnt ask her about it, because doing so would signify that he was admitting that he had one too. But if he were to refuse to admit it, how would he help her?
What is the name of this lotus seed? Long Chen finally sighed and asked a follow-up question.
This is our Preservation Heavenly Daos supreme treasure, the Golden Virtue Lotus.
Long Chens question made her raise her head. Tears stained her face like the morning dew on a pear flower. It was an indescribable pure beauty.
The Golden Virtue Lotus?
Aunt Gong?
A revelation slammed into Long Chen like heavenly lightning. This was the legendary Golden Virtue Lotus? Then Aunt Gongs real identity was different from what hed assumed.
It felt like Long Chen was struck by a thunderbolt. Huge waves roared in his mind. This was actually the legendary Golden Virtue Lotus? In that case, Aunt Gongs name was different from what he thought.
The Golden Virtue Lotus was perhaps the most mysterious legend of the nine heavens and ten lands. All throughout the land knew its name, but none knew its origins.
Even Long Chen, who had perused countless ancient tomes, still knew very little of the Golden Virtue Lotus.
He immediately thought of what Aunt Gong had told him. When he was lost and powerless, when he did not know what to do, the lotus seed would guide him.
Gazing at the withered golden lotus seed in her hand, Long Chen now understood the meaning behind those words. He felt a wave of gratitude towards Aunt Gong.
I dont know if this is the workings of fate, but I do have a golden lotus seed as well, Long Chen admitted.
Hearing him admit to this, her whole body trembled. She gazed at him anxiously.
Long Chen said, However, I have no idea if my golden lotus seed can save yours, or if it will even want to. That is entirely its decision.
Golden light bloomed, like the sun shining The golden lotus seed appeared, and a faint image of a giant lotus flower appeared around it.
The white-robed woman was stunned to see his golden lotus seed. According to their historical texts, even in the Preservation Heavenly Daos peak, such a manifestation had never appeared.
She released her own golden lotus seed. The two lotus seeds slowly drew closer. Just as they were about to touch, space twisted, and a golden world appeared.
This is
Long Chen and the white-robed woman were both shocked.
1. Long Chen assumed her name was Gong which is the common surname, but it is meaning achievement and part of the name for the Golden Virtue Lotus.
