“The Ancient God Clan has arrived!!”
Just as Abbot Zhiyuan was wondering why the Ancient God Clan had not yet arrived, the people of the Ancient God Clan arrived.
Abbot Zhiyuan adjusted his kasaya and stood up to welcome them.
“Amitabha. Welcome, Fellow Daoist Han! Please, have a seat!”
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan nodded with a smile and spoke:
“We heard that the Buddha Son of the Ancient Buddha Sect was born from a lotus. Our clan specially searched the entire Xuantian Continent to find this Unblooming True Suchness Lotus...”
Hearing the words of the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, Abbot Zhiyuan felt a surge of joy in his heart!
He had not expected the Ancient God Clan to be so thoughtful!
Well, since the Ancient God Clan had already compensated the Ancient Buddha Sect for their losses, he would not hold their Ancestor's theft of the Vajra Bodhi Fruits against them!
“As expected of an ancient power, they really do things on a grand scale!”
“Just hearing the name, one can tell this green lotus is extraordinary...”
The Central Province cultivators who had come to attend the celebration could not help but whisper among themselves.
After all, they had seen the gifts presented by the Ancient Imperial Clan and the others just now!
Every single one of them was a priceless treasure!
Except, of course, for the Ancient Barbarian Clan.
Meanwhile, the corners of the mouths of the Second Elder and the others standing beside the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan twitched!
What load of crap about an Unblooming True Suchness Lotus? It was just an ordinary, unbloomed green lotus that the Third Elder had hurriedly scrounged up!
Just then, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan raised his hand, and a massive white jade vat appeared.
The large white vat was carved out of a single piece of ten-thousand-year-old warm white jade.
The quality of the jade was lustrous and translucent, looking as if it were wrapped in flowing moonlight.
A dazzling light flowed across its surface, making everyone's eyes slightly dizzy.
Whenever light fell upon it, it refracted into a sky full of brilliant, fragmented light, looking from afar like half of a bright moon had been brought there.
Everyone who saw the large white vat could not help but praise it as a fine vat!
Only such a fine vat was worthy of that Unblooming True Suchness Lotus!
But when everyone looked inside the vat, their eyes widened instantly, because the water in the vat was crystal clear, and inside stood a single, lonely green lotus. However, it had neither spiritual glow nor spiritual energy, looking completely ordinary.
No matter how one looked at it, it was just an ordinary green lotus, and it had not even bloomed!
“Sigh... True, this green lotus is indeed extraordinary. I can't even see what makes it extraordinary!”
A Central Province cultivator could not help but sigh!
“Indeed extraordinary. I can't see it either!” someone agreed!
...
“Could this green lotus really be so rare that even I can't see its extraordinary nature?” Jian Wuque stroked his beard, narrowing his eyes as he sized up the green lotus in the large white vat and muttered.
Only the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect almost had his eyes pop out of his head.
He dared to swear by his old eyes, which had refined pills for his entire life, that this was a fucking ordinary green lotus!
And the most ordinary kind at that!!
At this moment, Abbot Zhiyuan was also staring blankly at the green lotus in the large white vat.
Was this... the Unblooming True Suchness Lotus?
Aside from having the word 'lotus' in its name, it had absolutely nothing to do with it, okay?
At this moment, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan also noticed everyone's expressions.
However, between losing wealth and losing face, he chose to be shameless!
After all, compared to Zhiyuan previously wanting to take a dump at his front gate, this really was nothing.
With that, he maintained a smile and solemnly continued to introduce it to Abbot Zhiyuan:
“This lotus guards its innate primordial root, blooming in the mortal world, much like how the Buddha Son maintains a pure heart and holds to his precepts, not loving vanity, and remaining steadfast in his original heart...”
“Our Ancient God Clan uses this lotus to congratulate the Buddha Son on his third birthday!”
Abbot Zhiyuan looked in utter shock at the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, who was talking absolute nonsense!
How can you be so shameless?!
He was absolutely sure that this so-called Unblooming True Suchness Lotus was not even as valuable as the large white vat holding it!
“Hahaha...”
Just then, Man Yu's wicked laughter echoed throughout the venue:
“What a fine Unblooming True Suchness Lotus... Compared to a normal green lotus, it only has a slightly nicer name. I've really fucking opened my eyes today!”
Hearing Man Yu's words, everyone looked at the Ancient God Clan!
They had really opened their fucking eyes. These ancient powers really knew how to play!
It wasn't that they lacked experience, but that these ancient powers were simply too shameless!
Some of the thin-skinned Ancient God Clan disciples standing behind their Patriarch could not help but blush!
Especially the Young Master of the Ancient God Clan, the successor of the next generation, Gu Chen; his expression was particularly unsightly!
Just then, the voice transmission of the Second Elder of the Ancient God Clan reached his ears:
“Why the hell are you embarrassed? No matter how shameless our Ancient God Clan is, we're still better than Man Yu! The expired candied hawthorns she gifted aren't even as valuable as our vat!”
Hearing the Second Elder's words, Gu Chen fell silent!
Indeed... Man Yu had gifted expired candied hawthorns and could still laugh so happily!
Why should we feel embarrassed?
Immediately, he and the other disciples adjusted their mindsets!
One had to give it to the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan. Despite being mocked by Man Yu and stared at by everyone, his face did not flush, and his heart did not race!
He looked calmly at the dumbfounded Abbot Zhiyuan:
“Is something wrong, Master Zhiyuan? Is there a problem with this lotus?”
Abbot Zhiyuan looked at the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, desperately wanting to say, “You are truly shameless!”
He actually had the cheek to ask if there was a problem with the lotus?
But for the sake of appearances, Abbot Zhiyuan took a deep breath:
“It is nothing. Fellow Daoist Han, please, have a seat!”
As for the green lotus, he did not want to say another word!
Immediately, he reached out and swept the green lotus into his storage bag!
Seeing Abbot Zhiyuan's aggrieved expression, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan felt incredibly pleased with himself:
This was so fucking satisfying!
At this moment, he wished he could slap his past self a few times.
Why had he been so stupid before?
As long as he was shameless, he could really save money!
“The Qingshan Sect has arrived!!”
Just as the members of the Ancient God Clan settled into their seats, a voice rang out!
Hearing the voice, everyone raised their eyes to look!
Only to see the Sect Master, dressed in the attire of the Qingshan Sect, leading a group of disciples inside!
The moment they saw the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, the members of the ancient powers widened their eyes and stood up in unison!
Why had this person come in person?
This guy was the strongest fighter among all of them!
To put his fighting prowess into perspective, with him around, the four fellows of the Qingshan Sect could rub all the surviving Half-Immortal powerhouses of these ancient powers into the dirt!
Meanwhile, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was filled with excitement. Back then, he was the one who had arranged the betrothal between their Saint and Saintess with this old man!
He looked back at the exceptionally beautiful Luo Xiyan behind him, wondering if he could chat with the old man and see if they could renew this marriage alliance with the Saint of the Qingshan Sect.
After all, their newly selected Saintess was quite good too!
While everyone was sizing up the Sect Master of the Qingshan Sect, the Great Ancestor of the Danji Sect and Jian Wuque were searching for Lu Ming's figure in the crowd!
Ultimately, they were somewhat disappointed, as they did not see Lu Ming at all!
However, the two of them also noticed a strange person—or rather, a child!
The reason he was strange was because this child was sitting on Big Yellow's back!
What was Big Yellow's status? The second disciple of the Qingshan Sect!
Second only to Lu Ming.
Who among ordinary people had the right to ride on his back?
Yet, looking at the three-year-old child on Big Yellow's back, they felt a strange sense of familiarity!
Just then, the child turned around and smiled at them!
Wow... so cute!
But that smile felt rather familiar!
