Chapter 1026 - 1126: The Function of the Treasure Lotus

Just as Ye Tianfan reached out to the Treasure Lotus, he suddenly stopped.

Ye Tianfan still felt a bit distrustful of the Demon Beast behind him. He didn't know what he would face after picking the Treasure Lotus, but if the beast suppressed or sealed by the Treasure Lotus was a ferociously violent Demon Beast, and if the seal was lifted, it would become a scourge to the world. In that case, Ye Tianfan would definitely not pick up the Treasure Lotus!

Seeing Ye Tianfan retract his hand, the Demon Beast behind him got anxious, calling out to Ye Tianfan as if trying to urge him to quickly take down the Treasure Lotus!

Seeing how agitated the Demon Beast was, Ye Tianfan was even more reluctant to take the Treasure Lotus!

There's always something strange in unusual occurrences, Ye Tianfan firmly believed this saying. Although this Demon Beast didn't seem like a ferocious and cold-blooded creature, Ye Tianfan truly didn't recognize what kind of Demon Beast this was and had no idea about its specifics either.

Ye Tianfan wasn't afraid of dying here; he feared that if this Treasure Lotus was the core of a seal and he removed the seal, he would become a sinner!

Yet, Ye Tianfan also thought, what if the Treasure Lotus wasn't a seal but something that could allow him to leave this place? If he didn't take it down, he might miss this opportunity!

At this moment, Ye Tianfan was very hesitant, mainly because he was afraid that if this Treasure Lotus sealed a particularly powerful Demon Beast, destroying the seal might greatly impact the world, and this was the dilemma he faced!

Ye Tianfan heaved a deep sigh and then felt it would be better to take it down. If the Treasure Lotus was indeed the way for him to get out, if he didn't take it, he might never leave!

As for whether the Treasure Lotus sealed a Demon Beast, Ye Tianfan thought, whether or not it contained a sealed Demon Beast, since someone sealed it inside, it proved there was a way to handle it. Even if he released it, someone would seal it again, though it might cause some harm to the world.

This wasn't selfishness but Ye Tianfan's effort to save his own life. Besides, he thought that if he did die in such an unknown place, the cultivation world would suffer a loss!

Thinking this, Ye Tianfan resolutely picked the Treasure Lotus!

Then Ye Tianfan discovered that the Treasure Lotus had no other function except a simple one: to decompose anything containing spiritual power back into its most primitive form!

That meant, as soon as Ye Tianfan picked the Treasure Lotus, a massive surge of spiritual power flooded into him, instantly filling his depleted spiritual power reserves!

Next, Ye Tianfan's emaciated body gradually regained fullness!

Moreover, Ye Tianfan's hunger vanished instantly!

Afterward, the bubble surrounding Ye Tianfan burst the moment the Treasure Lotus was picked, and the special spiritual power inside it rapidly dissolved into the cold little lake!

Even though Ye Tianfan hadn't fully replenished his internal energy, he had more than half of it restored, and the Treasure Lotus was still continuously channeling spiritual power to him!

Although the special spiritual power had already dissolved into the bone-chilling lake, the water around Ye Tianfan still contained a large amount of spiritual power. Since the dissipating spiritual power was moving outward, and the time since it started dispersing was very short, it hadn't completely spread outward yet.

Thus, the Treasure Lotus continued to absorb the special spiritual power it touched, converting it into the most primitive spiritual power, and then channeling it to Ye Tianfan!

As Ye Tianfan was retrieving the Treasure Lotus, the Demon Beast cheerfully swam back and forth in front of him, occasionally nudging the lotus with its nose on the seeds.

Ye Tianfan could clearly tell that the Demon Beast was very fond of the Treasure Lotus, especially the luminous lotus seed on it. However, Ye Tianfan knew that even if the Demon Beast liked the Treasure Lotus now, he couldn't give it to him, because he still needed it to replenish his spiritual power.

If Ye Tianfan were to give the Treasure Lotus to the Demon Beast now, he would lose his channel for replenishing spiritual power again. Most importantly, Ye Tianfan still hadn't sensed the presence of his Magical Treasure within him. This Treasure Lotus wasn't a plant; it seemed more like a Magical Treasure, yet Ye Tianfan felt no signs of refinement on it, as if it was inherently a Magical Treasure!

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan thought that since the Treasure Lotus could convert special spiritual power and decompose it into the most primitive form, could it not also convert so-called Demonic Qi and Evil Qi and other negative energies into the most primitive form of spiritual power?

If the Treasure Lotus indeed had this function, then its grade would entirely match that of an Immortal Artifact!

With the existence of this Treasure Lotus, the cultivation world could entirely start its conquest outside the wall.

After all, the reason the wall obstructed cultivators from the cultivation world was primarily because the outside had no spiritual power, only Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative energies. Once they entered, they would quickly be assimilated by these energies, leading them astray and becoming part of the entities beyond the wall!

But now, with the Treasure Lotus, it would be different. With it, cultivators could establish a base outside the wall, gradually expand their territory's array, and slowly explore the source of the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi.

Eventually, once the source of Demonic Qi and Evil Qi was destroyed or sealed, their presence would gradually decline while spiritual power would slowly increase!

Moreover, the presence of the Treasure Lotus would accelerate this process, and by that time, the whole world would become the backyard of the cultivation world.

People could also migrate there, causing the population to gradually rise, and the number of Sects in the cultivation world would increase along with it.

At that point, numerous schools of thought would contend, effectively promoting healthy competition, which might even break the shackles of advancing to the Primordial stage.

Of course, Ye Tianfan thought these were prospects far ahead. Just purifying the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi outside could take several generations, if not over ten thousand years, since the outside world was vast and contained many Demon at the Primordial stage. Moreover, they possessed Immortal Bodies there, forcing a slow conquest of territory and effective defense.

Ye Tianfan looked at the Treasure Lotus in his hand.

It seems I'll have to carefully protect this Treasure Lotus.
