Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Chapter 367 The Birth of the Azure Lotus

Not long after, Chu Yunfan and the Water-Fire Dragon arrived at the valley where the legendary Enlightenment Lotus was said to exist.

The water and fire dragons remained outside the valley, tasked with luring the group of self-destructing beasts.

After observing for a while, Chu Yunfan entered the valley.

As soon as he entered, Chu Yunfan saw several familiar figures.

Nalan Xue, Shangguan Wan, Jian Shisan, Gui Yidao, Tuoba Gui.

And Tu Shan Yu from the demon race.

Of course, there's also Zhou Tianxing, his old rival.

At this moment, Zhou Tianxing's aura was significantly stronger than before.

However, while Chu Yunfan recognized these people, they did not recognize Chu Yunfan.

Zhou Tianxing even gestured for Chu Yunfan to come over and stand with him.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan thought for a moment, then flashed to Zhou Tianxing's side.

As soon as he arrived, Chu Yunfan asked directly:

"If the Enlightenment Lotus, such a heaven-defying treasure, were truly here, how could it have attracted so many people?"

Even the demon race received the news!

As he spoke, Chu Yunfan's gaze swept over everyone in the valley.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan was surprised to find that there were many people in this valley who gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

This indicates that there are quite a few people in this valley who could pose a threat to him.

"The Gathering of Prodigies is truly a gathering of geniuses, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden!"

Just as Chu Yunfan was feeling sentimental, Zhou Tianxing's voice rang out directly in Chu Yunfan's mind.

“There is indeed a blue lotus that has attained enlightenment in this place.”

However, once the Enlightened Azure Lotus is born, we'll feign an attack and fish in troubled waters; we mustn't go too far!

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Zhou Tianxing's words, Chu Yunfan immediately turned his head and stared at Zhou Tianxing with a look of surprise.

However, Zhou Tianxing kept his mouth shut and kept his gaze elsewhere, showing no intention of speaking again.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to start analyzing the situation in his mind.

"If the Enlightenment Lotus truly exists here, Zhou Tianxing has no reason to give up."

However, Zhou Tianxing clearly does not want to participate in the competition for the Enlightenment Lotus.

Moreover, what he just said about the Enlightenment Lotus being found here was deliberately spread by someone.

Could this be a trap?

A startling guess suddenly popped into Chu Yunfan's mind.

Chu Yunfan knew that Zhou Tianxing was very likely possessed by the Blood Demon at the peak of the Martial Saint realm who appeared in the Northern Underworld City Arena.

The Demon Clan would never miss an opportunity to sabotage such a momentous event as the Heavenly Pride Gathering.

"Could it be that the Demon Clan intends to use the Enlightenment Lotus as bait to lure human and demon geniuses over, and then ambush and kill them?"

As Chu Yunfan continued to think, his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

Chu Yunfan's expression also began to turn serious, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan raised his head and looked around again.

"There is a 100-year age limit for this spatial battlefield, making it impossible for powerful demons to enter."

Among the many human and demon prodigies here, the number of demon spies is only a minority.

What gives the demons the confidence to annihilate the human and demon prodigies?

Or is it that the demon race and the monster race are secretly colluding to harm the human race's prodigies?

The key point is that everything that happens in this spatial battlefield can be seen by the outside world.

If it were a demonic conspiracy, the powerful humans would have discovered and stopped it in time.

If that's the case, then the demons' conspiracy is completely meaningless.

The demons should be well aware of this as well.

......"

For a moment, Chu Yunfan's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, some of which were difficult to sort out.

"Since we can't figure it out, we'll just have to play it by ear!"

Although there were many threatening people here, Chu Yunfan was still quite confident in his own strength.

Moreover, Chu Yunfan has the Water-Fire Dragon and the Self-Destructing Beast as backup plans outside the valley.

Not to mention, the Wind Sword Soul in the spatial storm could also serve as Chu Yunfan's last resort.

However, while Chu Yunfan wasn't too worried about himself, he was worried about the others.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan quickly transmitted his voice to Shangguan Wan, Nalan Xue, and the others:

"This could be a trap, be careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, Nalan Xue, Shangguan Wan, and the others immediately trembled and began to scan the valley, searching for Chu Yunfan's figure.

Because Shangguan Wan and the others were very familiar with the aura of Chu Yunfan's soul body.

Therefore, upon hearing Chu Yunfan's telepathic message, they knew that Chu Yunfan was in this valley.

However, they naturally couldn't find Chu Yunfan.

They could never have guessed that Chu Yunfan was actually in the enemy's lair, within the Zhou family's ranks.

Thus, Shangguan Wan and the others could only turn their gaze away in disappointment.

Time passed by, second by second, feeling incredibly long.

Finally, the day was over.

In the spatial battlefield, almost all the remaining geniuses came to this valley.

An incredibly mysterious fluctuation suddenly emanated from the bottom of the valley.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the land in the center of the valley suddenly disappeared, turning into a clear lake.

In the lake, lush green lotus leaves cover the surface.

The colorful lotus flowers give people a feeling that is both beautiful and pure.

Then, a purple-blue light slowly rose from beneath the surface of the lake in the center.

At this moment, everyone in the valley was focused on the purplish-blue light.

Then, under the expectant gazes of everyone.

A blue lotus platform emerged from the water and slowly rose into the air from the lake surface.

The purplish-blue light just now was emitted from the blue lotus platform.

To be precise, the blue light emanated from the blue lotus platform.

The purple light comes from the purple lotus flowers blooming inside the lotus platform.

The pure and flawless blue lotus platform gives people a sense of purity and holiness.

The lotus with its hazy purple hue evokes a sense of noble and mysterious beauty.

The combination of the two emits a purplish-blue light that seems to possess a magical power.

Instantly, everyone in the valley who came into contact with the purple-blue light felt a sudden clarity in their minds.

The fog of the unknown in my mind began to dissipate.

The mysterious and powerful forces of the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be right before my eyes, within reach.

This feeling is not an illusion, but a real reality.

Because, just as the purplish-blue light shone on him.

Within Chu Yunfan's body, the Earth Sword Intent, Metal Sword Intent, and Wood Sword Intent, which were originally only at the minor completion level, all automatically broke through to the major completion level, reaching the same level as the Water Sword Intent and Fire Sword Intent.

Of course, it wasn't just Chu Yunfan who benefited; everyone in the valley, illuminated by the purple-blue light, gained something to varying degrees depending on their level of comprehension.

This scene immediately convinced everyone in the valley of their belief.

The purple-blue lotus flower before me is the Enlightenment Lotus.

Apart from the Enlightenment Lotus, no other treasure could possibly have such a powerful effect; its natural aura alone could grant someone instant enlightenment.
