Hu Yuan bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of vital essence blood. The moment the crimson Hunyuan essence blood dropped onto the pistil of the blue lotus, the rock layer at the bottom of the Spirit Pool ruptured violently, and a crimson fire vein carrying the scent of sulfur burst out from the earth. Long Xianjun cried out in alarm and moved to stop him, but Hu Yuan waved his hand to block her. "Mother, back then Father was able to shatter the Heavenly Dao with the Niming sword; why can't I feed the lotus with my blood?"
The instant the blazing flames enveloped the blue lotus, Hu Yuan felt a violent jolt in his heart. He saw the twenty-four petals of the Enlightenment Blue Lotus bloom in succession, each petal displaying different solar term runes—the vitality of the beginning of spring, the scorching heat of the major heat, the sternness of the frost's descent, the deathly silence of the winter solstice... as if condensing the cycle of the four seasons between heaven and earth. When the last petal unfolded, the Soul-Purifying Lotus transformed into a white beam of light, darting into the center of the Calamity Lotus like a swimming fish.
"It must be tempered with the Three Corpses True Fire." That voice echoed deep within his sea of consciousness once more. Hu Yuan was awed by this legendary exotic treasure. The moment Xiaobai received the summons, it arrived as a streak of light, its seven-tailed fox fire merging with the Burning Heaven Blazing Sun Seal.
