Chapter 2260: The Mighty Lotus Leaf

Seeing their teacher's attitude of wanting to fight them, everyone was stunned, then thought of something and their faces twitched wildly.

Zhao Ya covered her forehead and said in a very faint voice: "Teacher is that Nine Heavens Enfeoffed King..."

"..."

Zheng Yang and the others smiled awkwardly at the same time, looking at the lotus leaf not far away: "Teacher, what kind of treasure is this? We can't understand it at all..."

If they had known that the Nine Heavens Enfeoffed King was their teacher, they would never have put on airs!

Ever since coming from the Master Continent, every time they thought they could challenge their teacher, they were beaten up. Now... no need to think, if they dared to make a move, they would definitely be beaten so badly they couldn't find north, south, east, or west.

Smiling slightly, Zhang Xuan said: "Never mind the lotus leaf for now, I told you to make a move..."

"Your student dares not..." Zheng Yang said with a bitter face.

"No need to be polite, all of you come at once..." Zhang Xuan smiled.

Boom!

Just as the master and disciples were joyfully reunited after a long separation, with Zheng Yang and the others' faces swollen, the lotus leaf ahead shook again, and a rumbling sound echoed.

The lotus leaf in the void had fully matured, emitting a dazzling light.

Thick, pure spiritual energy continuously emanated from it. Even without approaching, just absorbing it on the spot refreshed everyone's spirit.

They looked at the lotus leaf.

They saw a layer of special patterns swirling on it, giving a sense of profundity and grandeur.

"Is this... a map and star chart of the Nine Heavens?" Zhang Xuan's heart shook.

He had seen the map and star chart of Spirit Source Heaven and was very familiar with them. He had also specifically visited Netherworld Heaven and Exquisite Heaven, and had personally seen many mountains and rivers. The patterns on this huge lotus leaf actually marked all of these things, down to the smallest detail, without any error!

"Not only that, it also contains the aura of the Nine Heavens. What kind of plant is this?"

Zhang Xuan was full of wonder.

He had seen many treasures and almost all the Sovereigns, but this was the first time he had seen a lotus leaf that naturally bore a map of the Nine Heavens and contained their aura.

No need to think, if this thing were refined, it would definitely be of great help to him.

Even... directly breaking through to Sovereign might not be difficult.

"Go!"

While they were still in shock, Blazeflow Divine King on one side let out a loud shout and charged toward the lotus leaf first.

They knew that once Zhao Ya and the others made a move, they would have no chance, so they planned to strike first and snatch the treasure away.

If they succeeded, they would immediately notify the Sovereign and leave the Tide Sea. Even if the people before them were powerful, they wouldn't dare to snatch it from a Sovereign, right?

Several Enfeoffed Kings struck at the same time. In the depths of the void, it seemed as if special fishing nets were forming, and their mighty power condensed the surrounding space, enveloping the lotus leaf before them.

"Teacher..." Seeing these people dare to get ahead, Zhao Ya and Zheng Yang frowned simultaneously.

Being beaten by their teacher, they accepted willingly, but if the treasure was taken by these people, they would never forgive themselves.

"This lotus leaf isn't so easy to obtain. Let's observe first..." Zhang Xuan stopped them.

Although he didn't know what kind of treasure this lotus leaf was, the patterns on its surface contained the aura of the Nine Heavens. Just this alone meant it was not something a few ordinary Enfeoffed Kings could contend with.

Sure enough, as he guessed, as soon as the group approached, the lotus leaf gently shook, and the void seemed to shatter. With a "crack," ripples spread out.

Bang bang bang!

The several Enfeoffed Divine Kings who had charged forward were all struck, visible blood marks appearing on their chests. Each spat blood and flew backward, their faces pale.

"So strong..." Zheng Yang and the others' pupils contracted.

Their strength already surpassed ordinary Enfeoffed Divine Kings, but they absolutely could not injure so many Enfeoffed Kings in an instant.

That is to say...

The power contained in this lotus leaf far exceeded theirs.

"Let's all go together!" Zhao Ya also realized this and looked at the others.

"Mm!"

Zhang Xuan's eleven direct disciples all took a deep breath at the same time and charged forward in unison.

These eleven were indeed different from the previous Enfeoffed Divine Kings. As soon as they made a move, they formed a formation, and their power, when unleashed, was comparable to a Sovereign.

The void could not withstand the pressure and shattered into pieces. Spatial storms surged out from around the lotus leaf.

The lotus leaf, facing such an attack, lost its previous ease. Suddenly, it grew larger in the wind, like a canopy encompassing the heavens, and rolled up, enveloping everyone.

"Damn..."

Zhang Xuan's pupils contracted. He rushed over, shook his longsword, and slashed down.

The lingering sword intent, with decisiveness and protection, struck toward the lotus leaf. Just as it was about to land, the huge lotus leaf shook again. Zhang Xuan immediately felt his body become empty, and the space around him kept changing. The next moment, he appeared on a vast land.

The land was boundless, with no end in sight.

"Have I returned to the God Realm?"

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

The land beneath his feet was completely different from the Tide Sea, giving a feeling of the Nine Heavens, as if he had returned to the God Realm.

"No, I've been rolled into the Nine Heavens map on the surface of the lotus leaf!"

Soon, Zhang Xuan realized something was wrong.

The real Nine Heavens carried a vast aura, connecting all worlds, but this one was clearly a miniature version. Although it felt the same, there was actually a huge difference.

"Teacher..."

Turning his head, he saw Zhao Ya and the others flying over, unharmed.

Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky: "This lotus leaf is strange. It can encompass the heavens and trap us all inside..."

Their combined strength could defeat an ordinary Sovereign, yet they couldn't even block the lotus leaf's envelopment...

What kind of divine object was this, so heaven-defying?

"The flaw is here..."

After circling around and finding no exit, Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows, shook his hand, and the longsword appeared in his palm again.

He slashed fiercely at the ground.

With no exit around, the only way was through the ground.

No matter how powerful the lotus leaf was, it might not be able to withstand his full-force attack.

The sword, merging all his essence, energy, and spirit, fell with a brilliant sword light.

Crash!

A huge crack appeared in the ground, and a surge of rich spiritual energy rushed in. Zhang Xuan and the others jumped into the crack along it, and the next moment they saw Luo Qiqi, who was full of anxiety.

"Are you all right..." Luo Qiqi quickly looked at them.

Zhang Xuan shook his head and asked the question in his heart: "What kind of divine object is this?"

"I don't know either. From what those injured Enfeoffed Divine Kings said earlier, it seems to be called... Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf!"

Luo Qiqi said.

She had been outside earlier and heard the discussions of Blazeflow Divine King and the others.

"Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf?"

Zhang Xuan was startled, and a familiar name suddenly emerged in his mind: "Nine Heavens... Lotus Embryo?"
