Chapter 3: The Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra!

  "Nothing to do with Wu Mai!"

  Qin Zheng saw these few words and almost growled them out.

  He had no martial pulse, was always restricted, and this was his biggest problem. The Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra cultivation didn't require relying on martial pulse, how could it not make Qin Zheng excited?

  Moreover, this is the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra.

  The three great martial arts classics of the Shenwu Continent are the Nine-Colored Lotus Scripture, the Nine Revolutions Dragon Scripture and the Nine Deaths Nirvana Scripture.

  It is said that mastering any of these three great martial arts can break the shackles between man and god, allowing one to become a deity alongside the sun and moon.

  Moreover, all the martial classics and canons of later generations were formed by taking a bit of essence from these three great martial classics. It can be said that these three great martial classics are the highest level, absolutely unsurpassable.

  Excited Qin Zheng continued to watch.

  "To cultivate the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, one must have abundant qi and blood."

  Next is a note, Qin Zhengyi saw it, which was left by Lao Donghai Wang.

  The general idea is that the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra cultivation requires extremely vigorous energy and blood, with requirements so high that even Old East Sea King didn't meet the qualifications. As a result of forced cultivation, he died from energy and blood depletion at less than 120 years old, despite having the power to shake the Divine Martial Continent and originally being able to live for three to five hundred years.

  "It turned out that Old Master Wang had died after forcibly cultivating the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra after his hundredth birthday."

  "It's not that Old Master Wang didn't pass on the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra to anyone, but rather he had it engraved here. In his youth, Old Master Wang was known as a martial arts prodigy and was said to have an abundance of vital energy. Even if his martial achievements weren't high, his lifespan could have exceeded three hundred years, making him one of the longest-lived people. However, due to cultivating the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, he only lived for 120 years."

  The Qin government was originally excited, but now their enthusiasm has been doused with a bucket of cold water.

  Because he accompanied the old Donghai Wang for the last ten years of his life, the old Donghai Wang also told him about some past events in his daily life. Even in the last six months when his consciousness was blurred, he revealed many secrets that probably even the current Donghai Wang did not know. Therefore, Qin Zheng is the most clear about the old Donghai Wang's vigorous blood and energy, which is estimated to be unmatched by few people. If even he cannot reach the qualification, who else can?

  Qin Zheng continued to look at the words on the stone table.

  "Practicing the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus Sutra, one can understand the mysteries of heaven and earth. To verify whether one is qualified to practice the Nine-Coloured Divine Lotus Sutra, a drop of pure blood is dripped onto the stone table; if the characters transform into a divine lotus, then it is possible to cultivate. Unfortunately, no one in the royal palace meets the requirements."

  Only then did Qin Zheng realize that Old East Sea King had secretly verified whether the people in the palace could cultivate or not, which means he, Qin Zheng, was also verified.

  "What about me?"

  "That's also worth a try, it's been five years since the old Donghai Wang passed away, and my 300 failures in breaking through, tempering my bloodline, are recent events of the past six years. Moreover, not long ago, I verified that my bloodline has undergone a qualitative change."

  Qin Zheng thought of the scene where blood was shed and soldiers were tempered, metal was melted into people, and he was filled with expectation for his own blood.

  He immediately took a drop of his own blood and dripped it into the stone table.

  Just ordinary blood infused, revealing these words.

  A drop of semen fell down.

  Sinking into the stone table, the essence of blood immediately disperses, rapidly spreading and constantly fading away, gathering around each character.

  Qin Zheng held his breath and stared straight at him.

  Then those words rolled lightly, as if they had formed a substance, the stone table was no longer solid, but a space, and with the rolling, every word began to undergo subtle changes, gradually decomposing and recombining, suddenly transforming into lotus flowers.

  "Characterize Shenlian, can cultivate!"

  Qin Zheng's hands grasped the stone table tightly, and he was so excited that he almost let out a loud roar.

  Fortunately, the 300 times of bitter practice and grinding had made him much more calm than his peers. He suppressed his joyful roar, sat on the ground with a thud, and continuously wrote the word "quiet" on the ground with his hand, writing over 30 characters before calming down.

  After calming down, Qin Zheng stood up again and saw that the divine lotus on the stone table had returned to its original script-like appearance and was starting to fade away.

  He immediately took out paper and pen and copied down the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra.

  During this time, he shed blood again.

  After completely copying, waiting for the words on the stone table to disappear again, Qin Zheng did not immediately take out the stone table, but instead found a way to get some other people's blood for verification. As a result, it was discovered that their blood could not make the words appear at all. It is clear that only those who can make the words appear with their own blood are qualified to verify whether they can turn into a divine lotus.

  Only then did Qin Zheng truly feel at ease and put the stone table back in its original place, erasing all traces.

  He then returned to his room and began to recite the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra.

  It's not about practicing at the first time, but rather to remember it firmly in mind.

  When he had memorized the contents of the paper, he burned it and began to formally cultivate the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra. He was so cautious that even Iron Box would not have known about it, which served as a warning to him.

  "To cultivate the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra, first refine the blood vessels."

  "Communicate with the power of heaven and earth through blood vessels, temper oneself."

  Qin Zheng's mind emerged with the requirements of the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra's cultivation, and he became quiet, his five hearts facing upwards, eliminating distractions, his heart and spirit merged, using his heart to sense.

  The most fundamental power flowing between heaven and earth... the essence of heaven and earth.

  If you can feel it, you can guide it into the blood vessels according to the requirements of the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus Scripture, refine your body with it, and use blood as the foundation to condense the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus Martial Vessel, breaking through the predicament that Qin's regime has no martial vessel and cannot break through the boundary.

  Time slips away quietly.

  Unconsciously it was already late at night.

  All sounds have ceased.

  The whole person of Qin Zheng has become extremely ethereal, with a feeling of floating and flying. There is also a faint airflow around him, like a gentle breeze that rustles the hairs on his skin. This sensation is extremely clear, and the faint airflow slowly penetrates into his body through the pores.

  "I've sensed it!"

  "The essence of heaven and earth!"

  Qin Zheng's heart was filled with joy, and the feeling suddenly disappeared.

  He immediately calmed his mind and went to sense again, having done it once before, this time it was even easier, and soon he sensed the connection between the heaven and earth's vital energy and his own body, then he began to cultivate the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra Foundation Chapter.

  Guide the heavenly and earthly essence into his blood vessels.

  The blood gradually began to boil and flow faster.

  Before long, the sound of blood flowing started, like a rolling river, later it was like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River rushing, finally turning into the sound of sea waves, thick bloody air appeared around Qin Zheng, surging non-stop.

  "Blood and Qi Congeal into a Lotus!"

  Qin Zheng crossed his hands over his chest.

  The dense bloody aura that had appeared around him immediately churned and gathered, slowly transforming into the shape of a divine lotus.

  "Divine lotus enters the body, refining oneself!"

  The blood energy condensed into a divine lotus that merged into his body, beginning to circulate through every part of him.

  Every time he walked through a place, it was as if it had been brutally severed once, and Qin Zheng's heart ached so much that he almost fainted.

  "Hold on, don't pass out."

  "Fainted, interrupted cultivation, have to start all over again, I want to rush through it in one go."

  He clenched his steel teeth and persisted for a full hour before the blood, qi, and spirit lotus finally finished washing and refining his entire body.

  The Qin policy has a feeling of rebirth, as if all the impurities and dirt on his body have been purified.

  Having completed this step, the next one is the most crucial part.

  Shen Lian absorbs the essence of blood, merges it into the Dan Tian, and transforms it into Wu Mai!

  The characteristic of Jiuxi Shenlian Jing is to take blood as the foundation, refine the essence of blood into a nine-colored divine lotus martial pulse, and plant it in the dantian.

  "One more effort and tonight we will melt our blood into a divine lotus!"

  Qin Zheng took a deep breath and suddenly exerted his strength.

  The blood throughout the body was boiling, emitting a fierce sea tide sound. The blood gas spirit lotus entered the dantian, and the rolling blood gathered towards the center. In the midst of this, the essence of the blood silently converged into the dantian.

  With each passing moment of precious blood, Qin Zheng's face turned paler by a shade.

  This cultivation is also a process of self-destruction.

  Only when the Blood Dissolving Divine Lotus is transformed into a Nine-Colored Divine Lotus Pulse can it be restored, otherwise, if the blood energy is not strong enough to meet the requirements, it will damage the foundation and be difficult to recover.

  The essence of Xisi's blood merged with the Blood Spirit Lotus, causing this seemingly illusory lotus to gradually solidify. The nine lotus petals were no longer simply crimson, each having its own unique characteristics.

  Half an hour later, Qin Zheng's face was pale and bloodless, his breathing was also very light and faint, as if he might suffocate at any moment.

  The divine lotus finally revealed nine different colors.

  Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and white.

  Nine-Colored Lotus Blossoms!

  Qin Zheng squeezed out a hint of a smile on his pale face, and with this step, it was almost certain that he would succeed.

  "Divine Lotus Transformation of Martial Pulse!"

  As he let out a low shout, the nine-colored divine lotus released nine-colored rays of light that connected with his dantian and merged with his body.

  When the two were perfectly harmonious and no longer had any distance between them, Qin Zheng took a deep breath, and with his thumbs and index fingers, he pressed down on her lower abdomen.

  The nine-colored divine lotus suddenly began to rotate.

  The next moment, the heaven and earth's essence seemed to be pulled by a terrible suction force, crazily pouring into the Nine-colored Divine Lotus. Then, from within the Nine-colored Divine Lotus, pure power surged out and merged into his blood vessels. Qin Zheng's pale face quickly regained some color, and after a short while, he recovered as before.

  As the Nine-Colored Divine Lotus absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, Qin Zheng once again felt the sensation he had experienced three hundred times before.

  He hadn't even had time to react, his whole body shook.

  Breakthrough!
