661 The Eternal Wicked Lotus (2/2)
Meanwhile, Fang Gu was staring right at the lotus. He finally spoke when he saw the others looking at him, ”I'm afraid we won't be able to go any deeper. I think this lotus is called the Eternal Lotus. The teachings mentioned that the bridge to the altar will only appear after the Eternal Lotus dies.”
”Eternal Lotus, does something like that exist in this world? When the lotus dies, wouldn't it die if I tear it into pieces?” said Zhang Xiaohou.
”You can try,” said Fang Gu.
Zhang Xiaohou was relatively straightforward. He simply tore the strange lotus that had a mix of pink and green into pieces in just a few seconds. The petals scattered messily across the ground.
Zhang Xiaohou even stepped on the petals a few times just to make sure it was dead, ”See, mission accomplish...”
Before Zhang Xiaohou could finish his sentence, the broken pieces slowly floated up and flew back to the table.
The pieces attached to one another on their own. Even the dust on the petals after Zhang Xiaohou stepped on them was shaken off in the process.
In just a few seconds, the strange lotus reclaimed its old appearance. Not a single crack could be found on the petals. It looked exactly the same as before.
”This...” Zhang Xiaohou was stunned. He immediately repeated his action.
He was even rougher this time, shredding the flower into tiny pieces. He almost chucked the petals into his mouth and chew them.
However, as everyone expected, the strange lotus restored itself once again.
”Back off...Wind Disc: Sky Snare!”
Zhang Xiaohou proceeded to cast the Wind Spell. The strong gust shredded the lotus into dust.
However, even as the wind dissipated, the dust gathered back on the table and combined into the same innocent-looking lotus, leaving Zhang Xiaohou bewildered.
”What shall we do now? We don't have much time to waste here?” Su Xiaoluo started to panic.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Millions of people were waiting to be saved. If they did not reach the Ancient King in time, it would be all over when the Dark Abyss shifted to its next location.
They had easily overcome the troubles along the journey, yet they had stumbled into the Eternal Lotus that they could not kill, burn or eat...
”It's no use, it will still recover even if you blast it with a Super Spell,” said Fang Gu.
”We've already come so far, is this going to be the end?” Zhang Xiaohou was not satisfied with the outcome. He went up to tear and trample the lotus again.

At the clock tower, a copper mirror with the size of a palm was placed on an old table. A group of people surrounded the table, staring into the image inside the copper mirror.
”It's really them!” Han Ji looked worn out, yet it did not stop him from being overjoyed.
They initially thought there was nothing they could do apart from waiting after Mo Fan and his crew jumped into the Dark Abyss. To their surprise, the chief of Hua Village, Xie Sang came, and offered them the copper mirror. It was showing them the scene of Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, Fang Gu and Liu Ru surrounding the strange lotus with troubled expressions.
”What plant is that exactly? Why can't they destroy it?” blurted out Yao Nan.
”It's most likely the Eternal Lotus that has been extinct for thousands of years. It was described as a sacred object that even Super Spells are unable to destroy. There were Forbidden Magicians that managed to destroy it in the past… but it took them a great effort.” The knowledgeable Han Ji identified the flower before Xie Sang had the chance to speak.
”For...Forbidden Magicians? None of them has even reached the Advanced Level, how could they possibly unleash a power of that level!?”
