Chapter 1506: White Lotus

If it were Demon Saint Qitian or those other individuals, even if I were to help them break free from their seals and shackles, it would inevitably alert the will of the Supreme God. Doing so, paradoxically, my presence and power would provoke the entire Kunlun Divine Path, bringing widespread disaster upon the demon race within your Kunlun Abyss.

However, this method is entirely feasible when applied to you. One might even say this is a unique bond between us. It is precisely because you possess such fundamental conditions that I chose to make an exception, take you as my disciple, and help you overcome this tribulation ahead of time.”

Bai Lian was immensely grateful to Xu Yang. Little did she know, one reason Xu Yang acted was that seeing this young girl reminded him of his former and only female closed-door disciple, Miss Bai. Another reason was his desire to quickly gain the support of the Ten Thousand Demon Tribe from Mirror Heart Lake. After all, Bai Lian was one of the few Level Ten Demon Saints. With her and Qitian, at least a foundational team for negotiating with the stubborn old figures of the Kunlun Divine Path could be formed.

“Prepare yourself a little. Release your strongest power around this Crystal Dream Palace. This way, even if the power I release exceeds the crystal palace's capacity, it won't cause too much disturbance. This will prevent prematurely alerting the Supreme God's will of the Kunlun Divine Path, which would undoubtedly create unnecessary trouble for our subsequent negotiations between the human and demon races.”

Demon Saint Bai Lian immediately nodded. Then, streaks of purple-black light rapidly ignited around her body, swiftly covering the inside and outside of the surrounding crystal palace, forming three sufficiently strong protective layers.

These protective layers were actually formed from the refined essence of Bai Lian's own vitality, far from being as fragile as one might imagine. Once the conditions were met, Xu Yang personally acted again, conjuring three incredibly potent seals. However, these three seals were specifically formed between himself and Bai Lian, to prevent any other unforeseen changes.

Thus, the technical conditions for this girl's destiny-defying transformation were met. Xu Yang wasted no more time; the silhouette of a holy lotus slowly appeared in Xu Yang's palm.

Xu Yang couldn't help but recall how he had once used a holy lotus to reshape Miss Bai's life force, a wave of wistfulness washing over him.

Soon, the exquisite outlines of the holy lotus before him began to slowly disintegrate under Xu Yang's spiritual guidance, forming transparent, crystal-like entities, which then melted into Bai Lian's physical body.

Simultaneously, her original demon body also gradually became transparent, eventually melting rapidly under the influence of Xu Yang's immensely powerful law-based energy.

This time, to create the most perfect rebirth environment for Bai Lian, Xu Yang directly employed his supreme Reincarnation Mirror law, combined with his Tai Chi Totem. He simultaneously absorbed Bai Lian's human soul and demon body—the two most core components of her entire life force. After being purified, sublimated, and refined by the power of the Reincarnation Mirror, they were re-integrated into these white, crystal-like structures.

When Bai Lian manifested from within him once more, it signified that Bai Lian's reawakened soul was no longer bound by her original demon physical body. However, the accompanying feelings of emptiness and weakness left Bai Lian's newly formed soul somewhat disoriented.

“Oh my goodness! It's unbelievable. Although I've broken free from those restrictions, along with them, my cultivation foundation, accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, has also vanished. Just as you said, if you weren't here, in my current state, I would probably be immediately devoured by powerful demons the moment I stepped out of this crystal palace.”

Bai Lian was truly both surprised and terrified. Little did she know, as a Level Ten Demon Saint, she had tried more than once, using her talent and strength, to break the soul judgment forcefully imposed upon them by the Supreme God of the Kunlun Divine Path.

But she lacked the courage to make such an attempt. Without Xu Yang, any such effort on their part would unilaterally trigger the awakening of the Supreme God's will.

It would instantly tear their souls to pieces. Throughout history, there had been powerful demon emperors who tried, but they almost all met with complete annihilation. None had ever truly succeeded.

After all, no matter how strong the demon race became, they could never contend with the will of the Supreme God. Yet, what all demons considered an impossible dream had now, thanks to Xu Yang's heaven-defying intervention, finally become a reality.

“But Master, although I have successfully broken free from the Supreme God's seal, if I appear before other demons in this current form, I will inevitably be exposed.”

Xu Yang chuckled softly. “With me here, who can perceive anything unusual about you? And even if they could, what then? You don’t need to worry about your current state at all. Just maintain your original state of mind, achieve a state of unity between your mind and spirit. This way, your second cultivation will progress thousands of times faster than before.

It will only take a few years for you to potentially recover to your peak strength. From now on, no matter what you experience, you need only remember one thing: your Master is Xu Yang.

Currently, a trace of my spiritual essence is sealed within your holy lotus body. Therefore, in the future, no matter where we are, if you are in danger, or if the vital essence of the holy lotus within you is threatened, I will instantly sense it.”

With Xu Yang's words, Bai Lian seemed to instantly gain immense spiritual support. She completely relaxed, and her state of mind naturally returned to its original, acutely perceptive state.

Seeing Bai Lian spontaneously enter a meditative state once more, Xu Yang immediately cast spacetime laws to restrict the flow of time and space within their exclusive area, making that moment effectively eternal.

This was equivalent to allowing Bai Lian to enter a state of enlightenment at a frozen point in time. This action secured an accelerated starting point for Bai Lian to cultivate from scratch.

It was unclear how much of her full strength she would recover from this explosive leap. In reality, for Bai Lian, it was merely her soul journeying through past experiences. When this spiritual journey concluded, and she slowly opened her eyes once more, Bai Lian's true strength had already recovered to that of a Level Five demon.

It's worth noting that for some demons of ordinary talent, it could take tens of thousands of years to cultivate from Level One to Level Five. However, for the current Bai Lian, it was but an eternal instant that allowed her to regain such a profound foundation.

Of course, there was still a long way to go for her to recover to the Level Ten Demon Saint realm, or even a new peak. But at the very least, that momentary spiritual journey allowed Bai Lian to regain a foundational replenishment of power. Coupled with her unique talent, her Level Five strength was sufficient for Bai Lian to maintain her former regal demeanor in front of powerful demons of the Demon Emperor level and above.

Perhaps it was due to the inherent spirituality of the holy lotus that brought about a complete transformation in the young girl. Now, having completed the physical body reshaping once more, Bai Lian's beauty seemed to have ascended to a new peak.
