The Arch-Priest Lotus of the Kun-demon bears a striking resemblance to the Sword Lotus—the two are likely derived from the same source. All four Realizers had identified this.
The Arch-Priest Lotus is a vital component of a Kun-demon nest. It assists the brood mother in refining high-quality spirit iron and gold, fostering more Kun-demons, and constructing the nest itself. Because its root system extends deep into the earth, even if one were to exterminate the Kun-demons in a region and raze their nest, the Arch-Priest Lotus might not be truly destroyed. After a time, it would simply regrow, attracting wild Kun-demons to converge and form a new nest once more.
The result of failing to uproot it is that it forever springs back to life like weeds in the spring.
