Chapter 217 - 217 217 Hunyuan Green Lotus Part 2

217: Chapter 217 Hunyuan Green Lotus (Part 2) 217: Chapter 217 Hunyuan Green Lotus (Part 2) Wanmu Forest was located to the south of Five Finger Mountain.

After leaving the peak, Long Yan, Bai Ling, Zhan Wushuang, and Fat Cat set off to Wanmu Forest together.

It took the four of them three days to reach the heart of the forest.

Gigantic trees towered into the sky, with trees large enough to be embraced by five people visible everywhere.

The scene was teeming with life, and compared to the volcano where the Red Emperor Dao Field was located, it was an entirely different environment.

The four of them continued to venture deeper into the forest.

Apart from some ordinary wild beasts, there were no demonic beasts in the forest, which was rather strange—it was as if this place was a pure land.

There were quite a few martial artists in Wanmu Forest, including loose cultivators and people from the Five Great Powers, all searching for the Qing Emperor Dojo.

However, none of them found any trace of it.

“How strange.

This place is teeming with life and abundant spiritual energy, yet there isn’t a single spiritual medicine to be found,” Long Yan said as he wandered around the forest for most of the day, feeling rather frustrated.

It was bad enough not having found the Qing Emperor Dojo, but he hadn’t even found a single medicinal material, not even the lowest-grade one.

In the next five days, Long Yan and the others almost turned the entire Wanmu Forest upside down but still found nothing useful.

“This is truly bizarre!” Long Yan said, feeling very frustrated.

“Perhaps the Qing Emperor Dojo isn’t here at all,” Zhan Wushuang said.

Since none of the Five Major Powers found the Qing Emperor Dojo after searching the area, it was highly possible that it was not in the Wanmu Forest.

“That’s also possible,” Long Yan nodded and said, “It seems that we have no fate with the Qing Emperor Dojo.

Let’s go back to Five Finger Mountain and find a way to activate the Battle Soul Stele.

There must be treasures in the Five Emperor Tombs.”

Zhan Wushuang, Fat Cat, and Bai Ling hadn’t tried yet, so they might be verified by the Battle Soul Stele.

“Are you looking for the Qing Emperor Dojo?” Just then, a sudden voice sounded from within the forest, followed by a figure that had somehow appeared before the four of them without their knowledge.

“Who are you?” Long Yan and the others were immediately on alert, as they hadn’t sensed anyone approaching.

The newcomer was a youth wearing a black mask covering half of his face and dressed in black-tightened clothes.

There was no fluctuation of aura on his body, and he looked like an ordinary person, standing silently ten meters away from the group.

“I can’t sense any fluctuation of the aura.

Could it be that this person’s strength is already great enough to reach the level where he can perfectly conceal his aura?” Long Yan thought apprehensively with a solemn expression on his face.

Not sensing Ming Jiu’s aura gave him two possibilities: either Ming Jiu was just an ordinary person or an incredibly strong person who had reached the ability to perfectly conceal his aura.

At that moment, Bai Ling, Zhan Wushuang, and Fat Cat also stared at Ming Jiu with caution.

“Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Ming Jiu, and I know where the Qing Emperor Dojo is,” Ming Jiu said.

“Ming Jiu?” Long Yan frowned and said, “Tell me what your background is first.”

This was the first time he had met Ming Jiu, and there was no one like him among the Five Great Powers, let alone the loose cultivators he had noticed before entering the Little Qiankun World.

This could only mean that Ming Jiu had always been in the Little Qiankun World.

If that were true, it would be terrifying.

Tens of thousands of years had passed since the Five Emperors disappeared, and the entrance to the Little Qiankun World had been sealed.

Even a Martial Venerable would not have a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Could Ming Jiu be a Martial God?

Just then, Ming Jiu transformed into a meter-tall green lotus as if he was undergoing a metamorphosis.

“Hunyuan Green Lotus, an innate spiritual being!”

Long Yan exclaimed.

This blue-green lotus was the Hunyuan Green Lotus.

Hunyuan Green Lotus is an innate spiritual being and is extremely rare.

Innate spiritual beings can communicate with spirits and, after awakening their spiritual wisdom, can transform into human form.

In cultivation, they possess unbeatable advantages, even comparable to martial artists with special physiques.

Once grown up, they are absolutely powerful.

Could it be that Ming Jiu is an innate spiritual being, and his original form is the Hunyuan Green Lotus?

Next, Ming Jiu transformed back into a human form and said, “You guessed correctly, I am not a human, but an innate spiritual being; my original form is the Hunyuan Green Lotus.”

“Innate spiritual beings are treasures in the eyes of martial artists, aren’t you afraid that we will capture and refine you?”

Long Yan tentatively asked.

If one could refine an innate spiritual being that has taken on a human form, they would undoubtedly gain tremendous benefits, even possibly obtaining some of the innate divine powers of the innate spiritual being.

The Hunyuan Green Lotus has an extremely strong life force.

If it could be refined and merged into one’s flesh, one’s life force would be endless; as long as the injury isn’t too severe, a blink of an eye would be all it takes to recover.

“Even if you refine me, it’s useless.

I’m just a shell now; my origin has been taken away by someone else.”

Ming Jiu spoke in a very calm tone, confident and unafraid.

“What happened?”

Long Yan asked curiously.

“That was a long time ago…”

Ming Jiu’s gaze seemed to reminisce as he looked up, and then he began to recount the past events.

Over ten thousand years ago, the Qing Emperor was just an ordinary martial artist on the Shenwu Continent, with average strength and martial path talent.

By chance, the Qing Emperor came across the Hunyuan Green Lotus, which had just awakened its spiritual wisdom and was not yet able to transform.

Knowing the Hunyuan Green Lotus was a treasure, the Qing Emperor did not want to claim it for himself, but rather confide in it as a friend, pouring out his own grievances.

The Hunyuan Green Lotus took pity on him and decided to help the Qing Emperor; it used its origin essence to condense a lotus seed to help the Qing Emperor improve his physique.

From then on, the Hunyuan Green Lotus and the Qing Emperor became close friends.

With the help of the Hunyuan Green Lotus, the Qing Emperor quickly rose among his peers and became a genius on the Shenwu Continent.

A few years later, when the Hunyuan Green Lotus was about to transform, it asked the Qing Emperor to help protect it.

As innate spiritual beings, during their transformation, heavenly tribulation would descend upon them, not allowing any carelessness.

Since the Hunyuan Green Lotus had given part of its origin to the Qing Emperor, after overcoming the tribulation, it successfully transformed and condensed its primordial spirit, but its body was very weak.

At this time, the Red Emperor, Jin Emperor, Xuan Emperor, and Yellow Emperor suddenly appeared, helping the Qing Emperor to extract all the origin of the Hunyuan Green Lotus, and then imprisoned the Hunyuan Green Lotus in this Little Qiankun World.

Without its origin, the Hunyuan Green Lotus could still maintain its human form but could not cultivate.

It was like an ordinary person with an extraordinarily long life span, living in the darkness of this world for tens of thousands of years.

“How despicable of the Qing Emperor!”

Long Yan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly; if it was true as Ming Jiu said, then the Qing Emperor would really be an ungrateful and despicable man.

However, Long Yan still harbored doubts, and he did not entirely believe Ming Jiu’s words.

Ten thousand years ago, a calamity struck the Shenwu Continent; the Five Emperors, led by the Divine Emperor, spared no effort in stopping the calamity, and from this point of view, the Qing Emperor was still commendable.

Of course, it was also possible that the Qing Emperor had reformed and turned over a new leaf after following the Divine Emperor.

“Damn, this Qing Emperor is just despicable.”

Fat Cat said indignantly.
