Chapter 129: A Hint of Truth! Su Changqing's Anger!
"My name is Hua Buyu, and you?"
The girl in red approached Chang Qing, her bright eyes carrying a gentle smile as she asked.
Chang Qing didn't answer immediately but instead gazed at the spirit in front of him, showing amazement.
She possessed an incredibly beautiful face, her eyebrows like distant hills, long and gently arching.
Her eyes were like stars falling into autumn waters, clear and bright, with gleaming waves, captivating hearts.
The red garment she wore highlighted her snow-like skin, seemingly emitting a lustrous glow.
The woman was already a rare beauty without any makeup.
Yet, the delicate Cyan Lotus Crown added an innate nobility to her gentle demeanor.
Chang Qing wasn't someone who judged people by appearance, but in front of Hua Buyu, he couldn't help but be momentarily taken aback.
After a long pause, he sighed and shook his head, "Amidst the crowd, a single glance stands out, as earthly colors turn to dust."
"I once thought this poetry was exaggerated, but seeing the lady now, I realize it's perfectly apt."
Hua Buyu curiously asked, "What is poetry? Are you praising my beauty?"
"Yes."
This simple inquiry made Chang Qing chuckle, "It praises your beauty, rare in the world."
Hua Buyu's eyes curved into crescents at his words.
She didn't display the typical shyness of a maiden receiving compliments, instead, she smiled brightly at the praise.
"I'm not well-versed in poetry."
Hua Buyu admitted with a slight frown, then looked at Chang Qing with a serious expression:
"But you are also very handsome, much more so than He Bo and the others."
Chang Qing was taken aback, looking into those sincere eyes, he smiled genuinely,
"My name is Su Changqing, thank you for your compliment; these words are better than poetry."
Hua Buyu smiled joyously at this, then happily looked at the surrounding world, expressing her gratitude:
"Su Changqing, thank you for helping me transform, otherwise I would have had to wait a long, long time."
"You don't know, being a flower is really hard; you want to speak but you can't, you want to see the outside world but you can't."
"Even though He Bo and Aunt Liu often came to see me, it still felt so boring..."
The shallow glass flower, named Buyu, had a lot to say, her bell-like laughter ringing constantly.
Perhaps because she had just transformed, or because Su Changqing saved her life, or because their personalities were very similar...
All these reasons made Hua Buyu feel like she had endless words to share with this man she had just met, as if he were a long-lost friend.
The innate closeness and affection she felt could be seen without any words.
While Chang Qing simply smiled and quietly listened, to the joy of a shallow glass flower after transformation.
...
On the other side.
After Hua Buyu's transformation, He Bo and the others were even more excited.
They gazed at the Cyan Lotus, waiting for the great spirit to descend upon the world.
But as they waited and waited, the vast vitality gradually dissipated, the world returned to calm, and the Cyan Lotus showed no change.
"Why... why hasn't the Lotus Ancestor transformed yet?"
He Bo was somewhat anxious, "The catastrophe has been driven away, no one should be able to stop the Lotus Ancestor from transforming."
"This can't be right."
Qing Zhu frowned tightly, a flash of urgency in his eyes, "With such vast vitality from the Lotus Ancestor, it's impossible she hasn't transformed yet."
Shan Yuan and Aunt Liu didn't speak but kept their eyes fixed on the Cyan Lotus.
Suddenly, Aunt Liu's gaze swept over, seeing Hua Buyu who had transformed, sitting on the lotus leaf, smiling like a flower, talking with Chang Qing.
"Buyu..."
Aunt Liu's beautiful eyes fixed on the Cyan Lotus Crown atop Hua Buyu's head, exclaiming in shock:
"The spirit crown?"
Just before, she and He Bo had been anxious about the Lotus Ancestor's condition.
Although Hua Buyu's transformation made them very happy, it didn't hold their full attention.
Because whether or not the Lotus Ancestor transformed was too important, they couldn't miss any detail.
But looking now, on Hua Buyu's head there was actually a delicate Cyan Lotus Crown!
When a spirit transforms, everything follows her main body.
One born with a crown is destined to be a Spirit King, a rarity through the ages, revered by all life!
He Bo, Qing Zhu, and the other spirits, though of deep origins, never had such an honor.
Yet now, a small shallow glass flower is born with a crown!
Moreover, it's a Cyan Lotus Crown!
This discovery made He Bo and the others restless, immediately coming in front of Hua Buyu.
"He Bo, Aunt Liu, Brother Zhu, Uncle Shan..."
Seeing them arrive, Hua Buyu twirled her skirt happily, smiling brightly as she said:
"Look, Buyu has transformed~"
To Hua Buyu, these four spirits were the ones she was most close to besides the Cyan Lotus.
"Buyu, congratulations."
Aunt Liu walked over, lovingly patting Hua Buyu's hair.
Then, she glanced at the Cyan Lotus Crown, hesitantly asking:
"Buyu, can you tell Aunt Liu where this Cyan Lotus Crown came from?"
"Also, why hasn't the Lotus Ancestor transformed, but you were able to?"
He Bo and the others didn't speak but looked nervously at Hua Buyu.
"The Cyan Lotus, she cannot transform."
Hua Buyu shook her head, "I sensed the loss of the Cyan Lotus' origin during my transformation."
"She's actually incomplete, probably only a third of the main body."
"With an incomplete body, the Cyan Lotus cannot birth a complete spirit."
These words shocked everyone present.
The twelve-petaled Cyan Lotus possessed vast, boundless vitality, even causing the Heavenly Dao to be wary.
And yet... it's only an incomplete Cyan Lotus?
One-third...
Doesn't that mean the complete main body of the Cyan Lotus is... a thirty-six-petaled Cyan Lotus!
"Thirty-six petals..."
Upon hearing this, Chang Qing's gaze changed, "The Creation Cyan Lotus?"
In the world like those experienced in dreams, he had heard of such a divine entity.
It wasn't just this Cyan Lotus.
Back when he was cultivating the Heaven and Earth Divine Body, condensing the Heaven-Opening Axe, he felt it was quite a coincidence, but didn't give it much thought.
Yet now, the message of the thirty-six-petaled Creation Cyan Lotus forced him to take things seriously; perhaps it's not just a coincidence.
"The Heaven-Opening Axe, Creation Cyan Lotus..."
Chang Qing murmured incredulously, "So, could there also be a Chaos Pearl, Creation..."
He paused suddenly, taking a sharp breath, his gaze looking into the Chaos Life Palace where a jade-plate-like piece of Creation Jade Stone was transforming.
"Could this be... a Creation Jade Disc?"
As this thought arose, a feeling of absurdity flashed through Chang Qing's heart.
The things from the mythological world in his dreams actually appeared in front of him.
Is the world he is in the legendary... Honghuang?
Or did someone model a world after the legend of Honghuang?
"What does this world have to do with me?"
"Why is it specifically me? First, I acquired the Jade Disc, then condensed the Heaven-Opening Axe, and now encounter the Creation Cyan Lotus..."
"Is it a coincidence? Or is it..."
Chang Qing's eyes trembled, looking toward the distant world, "Or is someone planning everything for me?"
As this thought came, an inexplicable anger surged in his heart.
A feeling of being once free but now suddenly shackled engulfed him.
The presence of that shackle made him feel the panic of being controlled, and an anger at having everything about him exposed without secrets.
"I will find you, I will definitely find you..."
Chang Qing's face turned a bit pale, his fist tightly clenched.
Even though it was all his speculation, the facts laid before him told him it was true.
If not for a flash of insight today, he might have remained in the dark.
However, Chang Qing understood clearly; even if he knew a trace of the truth now, he couldn't resist.
At the Divine Body realm... he was still too weak.
He needed to become stronger, stronger than anyone!
Only then could he know the truth, find out who was manipulating everything in the shadows!
