NOVPUBChapter 248: Chapter 179 Seven-Colored Golden Lotus_4
Watching as the tear in the light screen gradually shrank, if they didn’t make a move now, it would be too late. Some cultivators seemed to have made up their minds.
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level was the first to act, but those with impure motives weren’t going to give up the dwindling opportunity.
Soon, the scene turned chaotic, as cultivators took advantage of the turmoil to activate their tokens, hoping to rush into the Secret Realm Entrance amidst the confusion.
As the tear at the Secret Realm Entrance slowly closed, the light screen returned to its original form.
After a chaotic battle, several cultivators still risked their lives to charge into the Secret Realm Entrance, and everyone was above the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level in cultivation, having gone through a baptism of blood and blade to complete the feat perilously.
The valley at this time was a sorry sight, littered with ruins and over a dozen corpses sprawled on the ground.
In addition, there were dozens more injured cultivators, each regretfully looking at the restored light screen, their hearts filled with unknown thoughts.
To obtain opportunity one had to pay a bloody price, but such a shocking scene had nothing to do with Lin Tianming and his companion.
When Lin Tianming and his partner entered the Secret Realm Entrance, and after a dizzy spell, Lin Tianming found himself in a swamp with no one else around.
As expected, upon entering the Secret Realm, Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu were randomly separated.
Once everything returned to normal, Lin Tianming started to survey this utterly unfamiliar place.
It was a vast swamp, as far as the eye could see, shrouded in a pale green poison fog, which even affected his Divine Sense, reducing it by at least a third, he estimated.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming looked tense, quickly taking out a dark green pill from his storage bag—before this, he had specially prepared a few such elixirs, spending a hefty sum, and each had retained three pills, in case they encountered this kind of poisonous fog.
In just a short while, Lin Tianming felt the inhaled poison fog causing a throbbing pain in his chest; his expression grave, he didn’t hesitate to swallow the Detoxifying Pill in his hand.
Having done all this, he gripped the Tiangang Sword in his hand and swung it a few times, creating a discreet bamboo mark on the ground.
“I hope Fifteenth Grandfather quickly discovers my mark so we can meet up soon; it’s too dangerous to be alone!” 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
After muttering to himself, Lin Tianming, looking at the mark hidden on a mound of dirt, shot off in the direction the bamboo point was indicating.
After walking for half a day, Lin Tianming arrived beside a pond.
Standing on a rock at the edge of the pond, Lin Tianming fell into a moment of contemplation.
“Strange… this swamp is too big. Half a day’s journey and I haven’t reached the edge, nor have I encountered any other cultivators, not even the shadow of a demonic beast!”
“Is this the legendary, peril-filled Secret Realm?”
“It feels too unreal!”
While Lin Tianming talked to himself, he scrutinized the pond spanning tens of feet before him.
“Eh… This pond seems rather strange!”
Lin Tianming murmured softly, noticing something odd about the pond in front of him; despite a breeze blowing by, the not-so-small pond remained completely waveless, calm as a mirror, which was simply too eerie.
Under normal circumstances, winds would create ripples across a body of water of this size, but this pond was too still, unsettlingly so.
“No matter… this place is too strange. Best to leave for now!”
Lin Tianming made up his mind; since nothing had emerged, no demonic beasts or treasures, he wouldn’t go looking for trouble.
Just as he turned to leave, the undisturbed water surface produced a single ripple, and then, from the center of the pond, a seven-colored lotus emerged.
This lotus had only seven petals, each a different color, swaying in the light wind, casting a beautiful seven-colored halo on the surface of the pond.
Seeing the lotus appear on the still water, Lin Tianming’s face lit up with joy as he exclaimed.
“The Seven-Colored Golden Lotus!”
The Seven-Colored Golden Lotus was a Third Order Spiritual Material, with every part valuable; its petals could be used to refine elixirs, many of which used these petals as auxiliary materials. Consuming the petals could also enhance one’s cultivation.
Beyond that, once the Golden Lotus’s petals fell, they would form varying numbers of seeds. These seeds were truly precious, each capable of strengthening a cultivator’s vital energy and refining their internal organs with remarkable effects, a rare treasure for Body Cultivators.
Lin Tianming, watching the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus, started to breathe more heavily.
“I must obtain it!”
Lin Tianming thought resolutely. However, the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus was still not fully ripe and probably needed more time before it could form the seeds—an ordeal that could take half a day to several days.
Apart from that, once the Seven-Colored Golden Lotus matured, it was bound to attract demonic beasts, certainly leading to a struggle for possession.
Even so, Lin Tianming was not about to pass up such an excellent opportunity.
Deciding, he took out fifty-six Earth Evil Swords and covertly positioned all the Spirit Swords in the swamp surrounding the pond, just in case he encountered other cultivators or demonic beasts, so that he could be prepared.
After doing all this, the Earth Evil Swords were hidden in the mud, nearly undetectable to the unwary eye.
Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly found a small mound, dug out a few feet deep cave, reclined within, and closed in on his mind, concealing his breath as he began to wait.
