Chapter 63: Nine-Petal Lotus' Transformation
Chapter 63: Nine-Petal Lotus' Transformation
"You aren't joking, are you?" asked Rong Hua, still in disbelief.
"I'm not joking," replied Snowy with a serious tone, "You can't be blamed for your ignorance. The Nine-Petal Lotus is rare even in Heaven Plane, and most people only ever see the mature one. That's why Nine-Petal Lotus is called fate-changing treasure, and a lot of people misunderstand what it really means due to its magnificent medicinal properties."
Rong Hua made a big gulp once again and thanked the heaven for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if she was an Immortal King who could live until 10,000 years, the benefit she would get from the lotus was still very precious for her.
With only 500 years, she already three times more capable of controlling space than her old self. If she could get another 200 years' worth of experience, she might get a breakthrough to half-completion of Spatial Dao.
This was an unprecedented accomplishment for someone who was born on the Mortal Plane. Rong Hua could be considered a genius among geniuses if she really achieved it.
"Fate is truly fickle" mumbled Feng Xue to herself.
Not long ago, she was really devastated by her father's accident, yet now, it seemed like a blessing in disguise; she couldn't help but think if what was happening to them was actually predetermined. Somehow, she wondered if they had been in someone else's palm the entire time. However, this thought didn't lessen the happiness she currently felt.
First, she had met with the old man, a reclusive supreme being, and had been given a heaven-defying creation.
Then, the Nine-Petal Lotus that she initially thought of only as an ingredient medicine actually a treasure beyond her imagination.
And finally, the most important thing was that she had successfully progressed in her relationship with Snowy.
She couldn't wait to return home and boast in front of her mother and then thanked her. She knew that without her mother's intervention, their relationship wouldn't advance this quickly as the two of them were relatively clueless about the matter of the heart.
Thinking of the intimate action between Snowy and her, she was very surprised by her capability to make Snowy scream and moan in pleasure even though she didn't have any experience beforehand.
Feng Xue could still feel the warmness and wetness of Snowy's sacred place in her finger. She unknowingly wore a silly grin on her face but immediately stopped and blushed after being aware that her behavior was unbecoming of a lady.
A tinge of redness also appeared on Snowy's expressionless face when she saw Feng Xue's face flustered as their gaze meet each other.
Snowy didn't know what Feng Xue was thinking about, but she could guess it must be something naughty and indecent as she several times caught Feng Xue sneaking a peek at her body and then smiled like silly. Snowy couldn't help but be embarrassed too.
Feng Xue looked at the embarrassed Snowy and gripped her hand tight while smiling at her. She always became more assertive every time she saw Snowy being shy or flustered.
Although Snowy was getting increasingly embarrassed, she didn't reject or refuse Feng Xue's hand and only looked down timidly.
The pinkish mood continued for a while before a voice interrupted Snowy and Feng Xue's moment.
"Look, the Nine-Petal Lotus is entering its final stage before blooming!"
Rong Hua pointed at the blackened lotus in the middle of the lake, absorbing moonlight like crazy. A halo formed around it like a marking line giving an impression that nothing inside can ever cross the boundary and escape beyond it, including light.
The boundary steadily expanded as the suction force was getting stronger. After a moment, half of the lake's area had been engulfed inside its space. But, the strange thing was there was no change in the lake itself, not even a ripple in its water surface. It seemed that the lotus was forming another spatial barrier to separate itself from its surrounding.
Zing. Zing
The lotus rotated more rapidly, making its shape deform, didn't resemble a flower bud anymore but more like an egg that spinning madly.
BANG!
A huge explosion followed by blinding light coming from the lotus direction startled Snowy, Feng Xue, and Rong Hua. They noticed that the lotus had begun its transformation. The once black-colored surface cracked and shattered, giving way out for bright white light accumulated inside the lotus.
Meanwhile, the lotus slowly stopped its rotation, and its shape gradually returned to normal. However, there was a significant change in the lotus appearance.
The nine petals, which previously had a distinct color for each of the petals, had a spectrum of colors mixed all over the petals' surface.
There weren't only nine colors anymore but a myriad of them. Every color was like an individual strand of yarn woven together into a single fabric covering the surface of the lotus.
"Don't move your eyes from the lotus, clear your mind, and focus on the Dao in your heart, right now!" Snowy shouted at Rong Hua and Feng Xue and then quickly meditated.
Feng Xue and Rong Hua, stunned by the breathtaking sight in front of them, immediately snapped from their stupor after hearing Snowy's voice. They didn't waste their time and quickly followed Snowy's example and began comprehending Dao.
Snowy had already entered the zen state and immersed in the vastness of Grand Dao. She began contemplating the meaning of the Nine-Petal Lotus' transformation.
Starting from the darkness of black-colored lotus, then the illuminating white-colored light, and finally the resplendent of myriad colors strand; It looked very much like the birth of the universe.
Then, a certain phrase resounded in her mind and resonated with her dao heart.
"Dao begets one, one begets two, two beget three, and three begets all thing."
She repeated the phrase many, many times until she lost the count.
While Snowy reciting the phrase over and over, her body turned more radiance as it emitted light that resonated with the lotus' light.
Ding!
