Chapter 2261: Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus

Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf—Zhang Xuan had never heard of it, but Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo was all too familiar!

It was precisely the divine object he had used to refine his doppelganger!

It was because the doppelganger had this as its foundation that it became immortal and indestructible, with combat power beyond imagination; even he himself, who had cultivated the Heavenly Dao technique at the same level, could not defeat it, and only after comprehending 'Heaven Has Affection' did he gain a slight edge.

Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo... Nine Heavens Lotus Leaf?

Could they be the same thing...

His mind stirred, and the doppelganger appeared before him.

At this moment, the doppelganger had already reached the peak of Divine King, its soul power vast and boundless, not much weaker than his current self.

"Take a look at this lotus leaf!"

Zhang Xuan pointed.

The doppelganger, with a cocky expression, looked up and immediately brightened: "I don't know what it is, but my body seems to have a huge attraction to it..."

Before it finished speaking, it flew straight toward the enormous lotus leaf before them.

The lotus leaf seemed to sense something as well, offering no resistance as its massive form rapidly shrank.

With a gentle sway, the doppelganger landed on the lotus leaf, then transformed into a lotus embryo ready to bloom at any moment.

Zhang Xuan's eyebrows jumped.

It was exactly the appearance of the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo before refining the doppelganger.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The power within the lotus leaf continuously nourished the lotus platform, the white flower becoming crystalline and translucent, as if about to bloom at any moment.

Boom!

Before long, violent energy fluctuations surged forth, and a nine-colored lotus bloomed, emitting an intoxicating exotic fragrance.

"It's actually the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus..."

Flowing Flame Divine King's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"You know this thing?" Zhang Xuan frowned, looking over.

"Legend has it that at the dawn of the Nine Heavens' creation, a Chaos Golden Lotus was born from chaotic qi, suppressing the five elements and the four poles. But before it could mature, it vanished without a trace, causing chaos in heaven and earth. The four divine beasts then became emperor lords, guarding the four directions, giving rise to the four great emperor lords of the east, south, west, and north!"

Flowing Flame Divine King was an ancient divine king who had followed the emperor lords, with a long lifespan and extensive knowledge.

"I thought this thing had long been lost to the history of the God Realm, but it appears here... and..."

He turned to look at Zhang Xuan, his eyes filled with awe.

The Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus was a treasure that even emperor lords found difficult to refine, yet this man had refined it into a doppelganger...

Wasn't that too exaggerated?

If we had known it was refined by you, and that you had so many impressive students, we would never have come to snatch it...

Too much of a trap.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Feeling the doppelganger merge with the lotus leaf, growing stronger and seemingly surpassing a titled Divine King, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the doppelganger's fortune was far greater than his own.

It might even break through to the emperor lord realm before him, achieving an indestructible golden body and true immortality.

He had always wondered what level of treasure the doppelganger's Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo was, that it could make the same-level him, who had cultivated the Heavenly Dao technique, unable to defeat it. Now he understood its terror!

"I should have thought of it earlier..." Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.

The Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo contained the name 'Nine Heavens.' Under normal circumstances, upon arriving in the God Realm, he should have understood, but he never imagined it would be so heaven-defying.

"With the lotus as a foundation and perfect blooming, this Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, barring accidents, can successfully break through to emperor lord! However, it may take some time..."

Looking closely, seeing the golden lotus grow more radiant, and sensing that the doppelganger had completely refined the lotus leaf, understanding that when the two forces fully merged, it would be the moment the doppelganger broke through to emperor lord, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, filled with comfort.

He had thought the doppelganger had no hope of becoming an emperor lord, but unexpectedly, it had this opportunity.

"When the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo was discovered in the Master Teacher Continent, I thought it was a Nine-Hearted Lotus. Its color was gray, and I always thought it was unripe. I used Heavenly Dao true qi to nourish it, which changed its color. Now that I think about it, it seems to be related to that special aura..."

Recalling the first time he saw the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo, Zhang Xuan's mind stirred.

At that time, Mo Hunsheng had parasitized his soul on it, living for tens of thousands of years without dissipating.

He had always thought that Heavenly Dao true qi had ripened it, but now it seemed there was likely a special power that had previously suppressed Feng Jiuge's cultivation.

Heavenly Dao true qi neutralized it, restoring its original color!

As for how something so powerful could be refined into a doppelganger, thinking about it, he understood.

That special power could dissolve cultivation; the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo had been contaminated, its energy completely eliminated, allowing him, who was only at the Mortal Transformation realm, to refine it easily.

"The Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo and the Undying Emperor Lord both intersect with me, even inseparably... Could it be that someone is truly laying out a plan in silence?"

His mind stirred, and a thought emerged.

Everything was too coincidental!

If it were an ordinary treasure, obtaining it would just be good luck. But a treasure like the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, which even emperor lords couldn't obtain, was accidentally refined into a doppelganger by him...

A super powerhouse like the Undying Emperor Lord was taken as his beast pet...

Even Lingxi the Great, the master of the most powerful realm in the Nine Heavens, the Realm of Freedom, became his girlfriend...

No matter how you looked at it, it felt wrong!

It seemed that besides Teacher Kong, there was an invisible hand pushing him step by step, growing continuously until now.

Shaking his head, unable to find the key, Zhang Xuan stopped thinking and turned to look at his many disciples.

In over a month, they had all grown to the level of titled Divine Kings, something he had never anticipated.

"Teacher, these are the treasures we obtained from the Tidal Sea this time; they might be useful to you..."

Zhao Ya came forward and handed him a storage ring.

Zhang Xuan looked down and couldn't help nodding: "Very good!"

These disciples' harvest was far greater than his, their teacher. At a glance, there were over a dozen treasures, on par with or even far exceeding Earth Treasury Spirit Liquid.

What was even rarer was that they had gathered so many treasures and offered them all to him. This sentiment filled him with great comfort.

"It seems I don't need to continue searching for treasures; with these, I can impact the emperor lord realm..."

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

These treasures piled together were enough for him to break through to the emperor lord realm.

"Hmm? No, didn't you take the Midnight Flower and the Iron of Silence?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

The storage ring Zhao Ya gave him did not contain the Midnight Flower, the Iron of Silence, and a few other treasures that had been taken before him.

Could it be that besides his disciples, someone else had taken the treasures from those places?

"Midnight Flower? Iron of Silence?"

Zhao Ya and the others shook their heads simultaneously: "We've never heard of those names..."

"Could it be... besides you, there are other formidable experts?"

Zhang Xuan's brows furrowed.
