Chapter 176: The Strength of Seal Heaven! Transformation!

"Nonsense!"

Upon hearing Su Changqing's words, the four elves did not show any signs of joy, but instead, their faces turned angry.

Qing Zhu looked at Su Changqing and spoke with indignation, "Do you know what Heavenly Calamity is? How dare you speak such reckless words?"

"Not to mention you, a mere Divine Body Realm cultivator, even the Emperor Holice from ten thousand years ago, what could he have done?"

"Back then, he personally came to this world and tried all kinds of methods, but he could only delay the outbreak of Heavenly Calamity. Yet you, a mere child, dare to claim that you can cure it?"

Su Changqing's expression remained unchanged, but the others around him had their faces turn pale, their eyes filled with shock.

Noticing the others' unusual reactions, Su Changqing asked in surprise, "Do you know that person named Emperor Holice?"

"Was his medical skills exceptional?"

Wu Yong swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly, "Emperor Holice..."

"He was the latest Emperor in human history, dating back ten thousand years ago."

"Frozen Abyss, Emperor Holice!"

At this moment, not only Wu Yong and Miao Feng, but even the usually calm Xuan Qingzi, as they looked at the Azure Lotus before them, couldn't help but show expressions of awe.

Emperor!

An unparalleled figure in the world, the strongest person of an era!

Moreover, he was the last human Emperor in this period.

In the eyes of the world, an Emperor was synonymous with invincibility, a mythical figure capable of anything.

But he never imagined that even an Emperor had personally intervened and failed to cure the jealousy of the Azure Lotus.

Just how terrifying was this Heavenly Calamity that the Azure Lotus was afflicted with?

More importantly, these elves had actually... seen a living Emperor!

Xuan Qingzi, Wu Yong, and Miao Feng's expressions changed repeatedly as they looked at the elves.

They had already highly estimated the elves' strength, but now it seemed far from enough.

The true combat power of these elves was probably terrifyingly frightening, making them living fossil-level figures.

"Changqing..."

Wu Yong quietly tugged at Su Changqing's sleeve, his voice trembling, "These elves are too scary. It's best to tell the truth, or else..."

He didn't finish the last part of his sentence.

Otherwise, even the combined forces of the Su and Wu families might not be a match for these four elves.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the whispering group, the elves' faces turned even uglier.

Qing Zhu spoke with a chilling voice, "Foreigners with ill intentions, it's time for you to pay the price for your actions."

As she spoke, green bamboo shoots rose from around Su Changqing and the others, emitting a terrifyingly sharp aura that rose into the sky.

But before Su Changqing and the others could speak—

Suddenly, the root system of the Azure Lotus seemed to shake anxiously.

Due to the Heavenly Calamity, the luster on her body was very dim, and strands of crimson light circled her flower petals and leaves.

Even so, she still shook her petals with all her might, as if she was saying something loudly.

"Wait, Qing Zhu."

The white-haired and flowing-like River God softly spoke, stopping Qing Zhu's actions.

He took a step towards the Crystal Lily and quietly listened.

After a while, he sighed, "Even if it wasn't them, it's because of them that the Heavenly Calamity occurred, so killing you is not unreasonable."

The Crystal Lily vigorously shook its petals and leaves, as if arguing.

The River God and the elves exchanged glances and then looked at Su Changqing and the others.

After a moment, the woman with the head of green hair shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, the outbreak of Heavenly Calamity is inevitable. It's only a matter of time."

"Since Flower Without Words pleaded for you, I'll spare you this once, and also to avoid staining our Spirit Realm with blood."

Speaking, the woman waved her hand and didn't even look at Su Changqing and the others, "Leave our Spirit Realm. You're not welcome here."

After speaking, the four elves gathered together, looking at the Lotus Ancestor with worried expressions, discussing rescue methods.

On the side—

"You're letting us go just like that?"

Wu Yong exclaimed in surprise, having just escaped death's door.

"The elves are indeed pure-hearted. If it were others, we would have been killed long ago," Miao Feng sighed.

"We should also thank that Crystal Lily. If not for her, we would all be dead."

Xuan Qingzi looked towards the direction of the Azure Lotus, bowing respectfully.

Beside him, Su Changqing also looked at the small flower.

At that moment, the Crystal Lily seemed to have noticed Su Changqing's gaze, and her petals gently swayed.

It was as if she was waving from afar, bidding farewell to them.

"Spirit Realm..."

Seeing this, Su Changqing smiled, "They don't seem like evil villains."

With this thought, Su Changqing didn't back down but instead took two steps forward, looking at the four elves with worried expressions,

"Seniors, ordinary methods won't be effective against Heavenly Calamity."

"Heavenly Calamity, also known as Heavenly Pestilence, is a disaster sent by Heaven's Path. Once afflicted, it will erode one's spirit and destroy the body."

"Only by finding a way to remove the Heavenly Pestilence, can we resolve this crisis of the Azure Lotus."

Wu Yong, who was about to leave, saw Su Changqing step forward again, and his forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Su Changqing, looking at the four elves whose gazes were now fixed on him, and he trembled as he smiled apologetically,

"Seniors... my senior brother was just joking. We'll leave now, right now."

As he spoke, Wu Yong tried to pull Su Changqing away, but suddenly—

"Wait!"

The River God's gaze locked onto Su Changqing, "How do you know the source of the Heavenly Calamity?"

Qing Zhu and the other elves also looked at Su Changqing with solemn expressions.

Heavenly Pestilence, most people wouldn't even know about solutions, let alone have heard of it.

Even the Emperor Holice from back then had to personally intervene before his expression changed, realizing the aura of Heaven's Path.

But this mere Divine Body Realm cultivator had only taken a glance and discovered the source of the Heavenly Calamity?

"This Heavenly Calamity, I can heal it."

The words Su Changqing had just spoken caused the expressions of the few spirits to change repeatedly.

"Seniors," Su Changqing raised his head and looked at them, speaking softly.

"Have you ever heard of the name of the Heavenly Physician?"

Boom!

Just as Wu Yong and Miao Feng were still looking perplexed, a heaven-churning might suddenly surged from the four spirits.

"Heavenly Physician!"

The River God took a step and appeared beside Su Changqing in an instant, his voice filled with excitement. "Are you the heir of the Heavenly Physician?"

The previously irritable Green Bamboo couldn't hide his eagerness, as he grabbed Su Changqing's arm and asked anxiously, "Young friend, are you really the heir of the Heavenly Physician?"

The stunning woman beside him and the gray-skinned Mountain Abyss also looked at Su Changqing with burning eyes.

Heavenly Physician!

This name was like thunder in their ears, a legendary divine figure they had never heard of.

The oldest and most mysterious Heavenly Physician Emperor! Back then, to heal the Heavenly Calamity of the Lotus Ancestor, they had invited countless powerful beings, to no avail.

Not a single one could help.

These people, including the Emperor Holice from ten thousand years ago, had all said before leaving:

"The Lotus Ancestor's injury can only be saved by the Heavenly Physician."

Because of these words, they had searched every corner of the world, only to find that even the heir of the Heavenly Physician was nowhere to be found.

Even the name of the Heavenly Physician had slowly faded from people's memories, and only ordinary people practiced medicine.

Over time, they too believed that the lineage of the Heavenly Physician had been lost in the passage of time.

But who would have thought!

Heaven leaves no one without a way out, at the most unlikely moment, the heir of the Heavenly Physician had appeared in the Spirit Realm!

No one knew the excitement and joy of the River God and the others, for it was a glimmer of hope after a long, long wait.

"Who is this Heavenly Physician? Is he powerful?"

Seeing the drastic change in the spirits' attitudes, Wu Yong looked perplexed.

Miao Feng, standing beside him, furrowed her brows slightly, deep in thought.

"The Heavenly Physician..."

At this moment, Xuan Qingzi sighed and said, "It is rumored that he opened up the Crimson Flame Continent, and the Martial Ancestor was his disciple."

"Do you think he's powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong and Miao Feng's faces were filled with shock.

They turned their heads stiffly and looked at Su Changqing in front of them.

"Does he possess such a terrifying lineage?"

...

"Seniors, let me take a look first, may I?"

Su Changqing asked, looking at the excited spirits.

"Of course!"

The few spirits nodded heavily. At this moment, the River God's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "Young friend, we just let you leave, why do you still take the risk to speak up and offer help?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just leave safely?"

Hearing this, Su Changqing smiled and looked at the small flower beside the Azure Lotus's root system, "Because she saved me, so I want to save her life."

The Crystal Lily swayed happily, its petals seeming to smile and say something.

"Hahaha!"

The River God laughed twice upon hearing this, and then apologized, "The Lotus Ancestor is very important to us spirits."

"Please don't mind our slight test."

For these spirits, it was easy to see if Su Changqing was telling the truth.

If Su Changqing was lying, even if he was the heir of the Heavenly Physician, they wouldn't let him easily approach the Lotus Ancestor.

But Su Changqing's words just now had dispelled all their suspicions.

The first time Su Changqing said he could save the Azure Lotus, it was probably for his own survival.

But the second time he spoke up, it was purely because of the kindness of the Spirit Race.

The kindness of the Spirit Race had earned Su Changqing's gratitude in return.

In fact, Su Changqing and the Spirit Race were quite similar, as he was also a pure-hearted person.

It was just a simple reply, but the few spirits looked at Su Changqing with a hint of closeness and favor in their eyes.

...

Surrounded by the River God and the few spirits, Su Changqing arrived in front of the Azure Lotus.

The Azure Lotus gently swayed its leaves, shedding weak rays of light, as if greeting him in a friendly manner.

The Crystal Lily extended its stem and leaves, as if wanting to get a better look at Su Changqing.

Su Changqing smiled at this, gently extending his finger to touch the petals of the Crystal Lily.

Rustle~

A petal of the Crystal Lily lifted slightly, touching Su Changqing's outstretched finger.

"Hehe, hello."

Su Changqing's eyes flickered for a moment, feeling as if a gentle, bell-like laughter was ringing in his sea of consciousness.

But the sound only lasted for an instant before disappearing.

"This is Little Yu."

The River God, standing beside them, smiled and said, "The life force of the Lotus Ancestor is too vast, so the Spirit Lake can only accommodate her, leaving no room for any other life to survive."

"But Little Yu is a miracle."

"She was just an ordinary Crystal Lily, her seeds carried by the wind, and fell by the side of the Lotus Ancestor."

"But not only did she not die, she was able to grow alongside the Lotus Ancestor, and even gained spiritual intelligence."

The River God sighed as he spoke, looking at the Crystal Lily, "But it is also her fate."

"Being able to grow with the Lotus Ancestor is her fortune, but it is also her tribulation."

"With her spiritual intelligence, she should have transformed long ago, but as long as the Lotus Ancestor does not transform, she will forever remain in this form."

"Moreover, she has to endure the torment of the Heavenly Calamity day and night, and who knows, one day she might disappear."

Hearing this, the Crystal Lily swayed its petals slightly, seeming to smile and comfort the River God.

"This little girl, she can't even take care of herself, yet she's comforting me."

The River God couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, but his eyes, as he looked at the Crystal Lily, were filled with sorrow.

The Lotus Ancestor had a vast life force to support her, and even with the Heavenly Calamity raging, she could persist for a considerable time.

But on this tiny Crystal Lily, the 'calamity' had already risen, and her spiritual light was gradually fading.

(End of Chapter)Even if the Lotus Ancestor could survive this calamity, Crystal Lily was also in danger.

"Ah..."

River God, Green Bamboo, and the others all sighed, unable to bear the sight any longer.

"It's fine."

Su Changqing smiled, gently touching the petals of Crystal Lily, and said softly, "I'll save you."

As his words fell, Su Changqing's palm landed directly on the thick stem of the Azure Lotus.

Boom! An indescribable, heaven-churning aura rose, and within a hundred li, all plants and flowers withered and decayed in an instant.

Facing this aura, which was a disaster for plant spirits, even River God and the others found it extremely difficult to endure.

"Release the suppression of the Heavenly Pest, let it come out."

Su Changqing's black hair danced wildly, and a dim silver light appeared on his forehead.

Under that faint light, the scattered aura had no effect on him.

"Open!"

Seeing this, River God and the others exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and their hands flashed with verdant seal decisions.

At the same time, the Azure Lotus seemed to understand something, and the vast vitality suddenly bloomed. Within a hundred li, the withered plants and trees visibly grew rapidly.

But the next moment—

"Jiji..."

A piercing, indescribable cry sounded, and a heaven-churning crimson light illuminated the sky.

A small insect, no bigger than a thumb, with sharp fangs and a hideous appearance, hovered above the lotus stem.

Its tiny eyes revealed extreme greed, and its mouth widened towards the vast vitality of the Azure Lotus, which seemed almost tangible.

With just one bite, the vast vitality poured into the red insect's mouth like a flood breaching a dam.

At this moment, even the enormous Azure Lotus visibly turned yellow and withered.

The Crystal Lily at the base of the root system wilted, and its waist bent, as if it would completely wither away in the next moment.

"Little friend!"

Seeing this, River God and the other elves cried out in fear.

"Seal! Heaven!"

When the Heavenly Pest appeared, Su Changqing shouted sternly, and with his fingers forming a sword, he brushed his forehead, revealing the 'Seal' rune in the heavens.

"Jiji!"

As the 'Seal' rune appeared, the raging red insect seemed to see something terrifying, and with a shrill cry, it tried to burrow into the Lotus Ancestor's body.

"Seal!"

Su Changqing spread his five fingers, and a phantom seal character shot out.

With the seal decision, the Lotus Ancestor suffered no harm, but the Heavenly Pest insect stiffened in place.

"Capture!"

Although the 'Seal' rune only appeared for a few breaths, Su Changqing's face had already turned deathly pale.

He clenched his teeth, and with his fingertips forming a seal, he cast the perfect Heaven-Sealing Needle Technique, which entered the red insect's body at an extreme speed.

Then, Su Changqing clenched his fist, grasping the Heavenly Pest insect in his palm.

He looked down.

On the back of the thumb-sized red insect, there was a dim 'Seal' rune engraved.

But even so, the insect continued to erode the 'Seal' rune at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"It can only be sealed for about a month."

Holding such a terrifying creature, even Su Changqing felt his scalp go numb.

But if he discarded it casually, after a month, all life would cease to exist within a thousand li of wherever it was.

"Then you'll have to come with me!"

Su Changqing made a firm decision and directly sealed the terrifying Heavenly Pest into his Life Palace.

"Little friend?"

Seeing this, River God and the others were so excited that their faces turned red. They wanted to say something but seemed hesitant.

Before they could ask, the Heavenly Pest was eliminated, and the heavenly imprinted shackles on the Azure Lotus broke.

It was clear to see that the vitality within the Azure Lotus was increasing at a terrifying speed.

Boom! The endless vitality of life swept through the entire Spirit Realm like a storm.

Countless mountains, rivers, and seas rapidly grew under the influence of this vitality.

The Azure Lotus itself, with its withered leaves, turned a vivid jade green, and its terrifying power caused the heavens and earth to wail.

"The Lotus Ancestor is about to give birth to Spirit Wisdom!"

Seeing this, River God and the others were filled with excitement, their eyes burning with fervor.

The reason the Lotus Ancestor suffered the Heavenly Pest was because she was about to give birth to Spirit Wisdom and transform into a physical form.

But at the last moment, the heavenly calamity forcefully suppressed her.

Now, with the shackles broken, no one could stop the Lotus Ancestor's transformation.

However, just as the Lotus Ancestor's power reached its peak, and River God and the others were filled with excitement—

The Crystal Lily at the root system of the Azure Lotus suddenly erupted with a heaven-churning red light.

The colorful glow of the sunset illuminated the sky, and pearl curtains and jade ornaments descended.

Amidst the endless auspiciousness, a woman in a bright red dress, wearing a Lotus Crown, and with an exquisitely beautiful appearance, floated in the air.

She slowly opened her gentle and bright eyes, and with an innocent and curious gaze, she observed the world before her.

When she saw the dazed Su Changqing, the woman smiled, her face radiant like a blooming flower, and said with a curved brow, "Thank you for saving me."

"My name is Flower No Words."
