Chapter Sixteen: Chaotic Jade Flower, Initial Stage of Earth Realm

  Seeing Cang Ye push open the door and walk in, Li Tian Luo smiled slightly, not blaming Cang Ye for being late. Because of sending Yu Ling back to You Yue Peak, he was able to guess it.

  After all, it was he, Li Tian Luo, who had "sold out" Cang Ye's whereabouts this time.

  Cang Ye naturally knew this too, because he had only told his master about resting at the mountain waist.

  He also understood the good intentions of his master. The kind of feelings that thought of himself in everything, filled the inner heart of Cang Ye to the brim.

  "Master, I'm back."

  Seeing his younger brother's change, Li Tian Luo's smile became even more radiant.

  "It's good if you come back. It's good if you come back!"

  Tears accumulated in the dark night, bursting out in an instant.

  Come back and it's fine, how simple, yet Li Tian Luo has used "come back" twice in a row! Why!

  He didn't understand the truth of life before, but now he does.

  "Thanks, Master! I'm back!"

  Kneeling on both knees, he respectfully kowtowed to Li Tian and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes before standing up again.

  Cang Ye knew that his past self had come to this world and occupied Cang Ye's body, but he still forced himself to think that he was just Xu Zhen. Even though Cang Ye's memories had merged with his own, the body was still Cang Ye's.

  But stubbornly, I always thought I didn't belong in this world, I am Xu Zhen, not He Cangye!

  He got lost because of his inner obsession, always treating himself as a passerby.

  Although others can't see it, the master who has been with him day and night feels it. Every time he leaks his whereabouts, it is also a hint given to his disciples.

  Cultivation begins with cultivating one's mind. Although disciples like today's are quite terrifying, they have become lost in a world within their own hearts.

  Rugged on the outside, with a temperament full of vicissitudes. Li Tian Luo didn't know why, but he didn't want Cang Ye to sink like this, forever living in the perplexity of his heart.

  Cang Ye was just a child at this time! No matter what secrets he had, what hardships he didn't want to say, but... Li Tian Luo didn't want him to cultivate and live like this. Every time he let Yu Ling find Cang Ye, it was because he hoped that Yu Ling could make Cang Ye remember that he was now a child, he should have his own happiness! Don't carry so much burden, there were still many people who cared about him, loved him!

  At the moment when Cang Ye pushed open the door of the house, Li Tian Luo knew.

  His apprentice finally understood, finally found his own way in that confusion, and finally came back!

  Looking at Cang Ye with a relieved expression, Li Tian Luo was convinced that this time's disciple recruitment was the most correct decision in his life! Even if Cang Ye didn't have the potential to become king, he still thought so.

  On his apprentice's body, he saw perseverance, saw unyielding spirit, saw hard work... saw so many things. This is indeed his apprentice!

  Cang Ye got up and walked to the bed, sat cross-legged, took a deep breath, looked at his master in front of him with determination, then closed his eyes.

  After seeing Cang Ye enter a state of meditation, Li Tian Luo also instantly raised his own aura to be on guard against any unexpected occurrences.

  Sun Hao, who was guarding outside the house, felt the change in atmosphere and knew that the breakthrough had begun.

  He straightened his body, his hands clenched slightly, ready to attack at any moment.

  Refine the essence and transform it into energy. Humans are born from the transformation of essence, so essence is the seed of reincarnation. Practitioners of the Tao must empty their minds in the lower dantian, abstain from lustful desires, and prevent the leakage of essence. When the essence is full and not wasted on lustful thoughts, the lead flower blooms. The lead flower is also called the human flower or jade flower in some martial arts traditions.

  Cang Ye first condensed was this jade flower, one of the three flowers. The jade flower is the easiest to condense among heaven, earth and human, but also the most difficult to form, because only those who do not leak their vital energy can condense it. As a child, Cang Ye naturally didn't have any leakage of vital energy. Therefore, this one was his first choice of flower.

  The surface is radiant, the spiritual energy in space is infinitely condensed, and Cang Ye feels that the speed of spiritual energy circulating within his body is getting faster and faster. Gradually, it has already surpassed the speed of circulation during his peak period. Just wait a little longer, just wait a bit, and you can condense the Jade Flower!

  Finally, the spiritual energy in his body was fully replenished, and the last bit of space was filled. Cang Ye began to operate the Three Flowers Condensing Technique from the Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing.

  In the ancient times before reincarnation in the vast night, "flower" and "magnificence" were interchangeable, with "magnificence" being the original character for "flower". Therefore, "three flowers" is equivalent to "three magnificences", representing the glory of human body's essence, energy and spirit.

  Three Flowers Gathering is Washing Three Transformations.

  Wash away the mundane, and reveal one's true nature.

  His entire body was surging with spiritual energy, but Cang Ye remained unmoved, his eyes tightly closed as he sensed the flow of spiritual energy within him.

  This is the beginning of physical refinement in the cultivation realm, and the external virtualization that has been washed away by the spiritual energy is almost gone. The realm has also reached a point where it's time to try condensing the three flowers.

  Cang Ye placed his hands in front of his chest, palms facing upwards, the spiritual energy inside his body surged out from his fingertips and gradually gathered in front of his chest.

  Unlike usual, in the past, as long as Cang Ye released the Hongmeng Qi from his body, it would inevitably cause the spiritual energy in that area to overflow. Now, however, the surrounding spiritual energy not only didn't escape but instead surged over frantically.

  Fingers pointed, a surge of spiritual energy gathered in front of his chest, forming into a ball. As Cang Ye increased the influx of spiritual energy, the ball began to change gradually.

  The overall shape of the spiritual energy slowly became a circle, and then the top and bottom ends began to extend.

  After a while, the air mass that had become elliptical in shape began to show streaks connecting two vertices from top to bottom.

  As the texture deepens, the entire air mass gradually takes on the appearance of a budding flower bone, with empty space giving birth to roots, standing in front of the chest of the vast night.

  Li Tian's eyes were fixed on the unopened flower bud, which was the prototype of Sanhua. Only when the flower bloomed could it be considered a successful condensed flower.

  The current Cang Ye has already set one foot into the Earth Realm and is only waiting for the flowers to bloom before becoming an Earth Spirit Master!

  At this time, Cang Ye's face began to turn pale, and he didn't expect that Condensing Flower would require so much spiritual energy. No wonder all the cultivation classics required accumulating perfection before attempting it, regardless of how exceptional one's talent was.

  The spiritual energy needed for the Congealing Flower has almost been gathered, at this time Cang Ye let out a loud roar.

  "Open!"

  Suddenly, with the end of the voice, a thousand-petaled purple lotus flower emerged from among the flowers, its texture emitting rays of light, as if countless petals were blooming!

  Looking at this multi-leaf lotus flower, Li Tian Luo was stunned on the spot.

  Is this Sanhua?

  What kind of three flowers are these?

  The image of the three flowers is indeed a lotus flower, but it only has dozens of leaves, how can there be as many as this flower with thousands of leaves! Such exquisite and beautiful lotus flower, is what Li Tian Luo saw for the first time in his life.

  Li Tian Luo, immersed in the dazzling light of the lotus flower, did not notice that Cang Ye had already opened his eyes, and the shocking gaze.

  Qianye Zilian, it's actually Qianye Zilian! That is the space-time of one's own past life, the legendary three flowers of fate that have existed between heaven and earth since the birth of chaos!

  The scarlet lotus of industry, governing the fate of punishment. Destroying heaven and earth, hidden among all things.

  Void Azure Lotus, Master of Destiny. In charge of order, hidden in the Void Heavenly Way.

  Primordial Purple Lotus, governing the fate of life. Creating and transforming all things, storing the beginning of eternal life.

  Three Great Fates' Lotus, evolved first in the midst of Chaos, later Pangu was born, axe-splitting Heaven and Earth, all things took shape, Chaos began to open. The Void's Green Lotus was obtained by that one, then transformed into the Heavenly Way, together with it, holding the Heavenly Law.

  The other two lotus flowers, achieve countless entities. The Karma Fire Lotus, burns the worldly filth, governs destruction. Whenever heavenly punishment descends, accompanied by the great calamity of wind and fire, it will appear. And the Primordial Purple Lotus is the origin of all life after the evolution of the world, as long as there is life, its initial source must be the transformation of the Purple Lotus! The two founders of Western Buddhism, guided the Taoist, used their own birth lotus to operate the great divine power, stripped it out, refined it into an existence comparable to the pre-heavenly treasure. Later passed on to the many treasures of the Taoist, established Buddhism, and became the eighteen-tiered lotus platform under the seat of the Many Treasures Tathagata.

  Unexpectedly, the first jade flower condensed from the three flowers is actually the Chaotic Purple Lotus, which symbolizes the way of life! The "Hongmeng Zhuanlun Jing" can actually help people condense the chaotic flower!

  "Disciple, quickly perceive what principle this lotus flower contains!"

  Condensing the three flowers is not just for increasing cultivation and tempering one's body. The main purpose is for the principles within those three flowers!

  The king's stage begins. After comprehending the laws, although various laws can be applied, those are just superficial existences, and only one fundamental law is truly understood!

  And every qualified person who is about to be crowned, at the time of condensing the first virtual flower, will receive a law bestowed by the heavens. The latter two virtual flowers contain supplements to the first virtual flower. Once all three virtual flowers are condensed and the peak is successfully gathered, the law will be complete. When the sect's rank breaks through the king's rank, it will suddenly appear and become the innate law!

  In fact, without any epiphany, Cang Ye could also understand what kind of principle this thousand-leaf purple lotus contained.

  According to this world's understanding, Chaos Purple Lotus represents one of the three supreme laws that transcend all other laws, the Law of Creation!

  After some thought, Cang Ye still didn't plan to reveal the truth. The Genesis Principle and the Five Elements Principle's Wood Principle are somewhat similar, both representing the power of birth. Therefore, in Cang Ye's introduction to Li Tian Luo, he said that his own Qian Ye Zi Lian contained the Genesis Principle, calling it the Wood Principle instead.

  The Five Elements Principle, although it holds a high position in this world, there are still not many people who have achieved it. However, the Three Great Supreme Principles are only heard of in rumors, and no one has ever been known to comprehend them.

  As for the Law of Wood, Li Tian Luo was also very satisfied with it, after all, it is also one of the strongest laws.

  "Yè ér, now you have condensed a flower and officially entered the earthly realm. The law you obtained is also the Wood Law of the Five Elements Law. When you enter the King Stage and condense your own law, your Wood Law will be revealed. Only then can you use the law to contend with others. Alright, put away your virtual flower, I allow you to rest for a few days and recover your spirit before continuing your cultivation."

  Hearing Li Tian Luo's entrustment, Cang Ye nodded slightly.

  "Alright, I spent the whole day playing with that little girl and successfully broke through to become a Ge Spirit Master tonight. You must be tired too, get some rest early. The master will leave first."

  Cang Ye stood up and was about to send Li Tian Luo out of the door when he suddenly rushed back.

  As soon as they stepped out of the doorway, Sun Hao, who had been extremely nervous, hastily moved in front of Li Tian Luo.

  "Master, what about Little Brother?"

  Hehe, Li Tian Luo, who had no image of a grown-up, patted Sun Hao's shoulder with a smile.

  "You don't even think about it, whose disciple is that! Don't look for your little junior brother today, he must be tired after being busy all night. If there's something, find him to talk tomorrow morning."

  Sun Hao let out a long sigh.

  "That's that, apart from Master Shu, who else can teach a genius like Master Di?" As they spoke, the two of them left the courtyard with their arms around each other's shoulders...
