Chapter: 872 (1/2)

AST 872 – Lotus Inheritance, Di Chen

The sudden resplendent silvery light momentarily made the surrounding people sluggish. Such an intense halo. The brighter the halo signified the better one’s innate talent was, and the suitability for training. One’s accomplishments in the future would also be greater.

Although Di Chen was enveloped within the light, her mind was very clear. An enormous and exquisite energy radiated from the Lotus Platform and flowed into her body. Being recognized as the owner of the Lotus Platform Was only a kind of qualification, the true inheritance wasn’t here.

Only by passing this Lotus Platform, which was indicated by the halo of light, would one be able to obtain the true inheritance. The stronger the light, the more qualified an individual was.

However, they never imagined that Di Chen would unexpectedly obtained this energy from the Lotus Platform. Furthermore, this energy was very strong and a few old people had already discovered that Di Chen’s strength was increasing frantically.

Although her strength had increased at a rapid pace, there wasn’t any hint of violence detected. It was the purest kind of energy and it could directly assimilate into her body. This made everyone present thoroughly stupefied.

The Lotus platform was a treasure from the Lotus Realm but it was unable to be moved. It’s considered a symbol of the Lotus Realm, but there had never been anyone who could obtain power from it.

Actually, it was recorded in ancient texts within the Lotus Realm that the Lotus Platform was a spiritual item. If it truly recognizes an owner, that individual would definitely gain great benefits. Those benefits might even be better than the Lotus inheritance!

Di Chen’s emotions were in a mess. She could only feel her strength rapidly increasing, so much that she couldn’t even tell how much her strength had risen. However, she knew that this power exceeded her own by far too much.

At the beginning, she felt slightly flustered because being a cultivator, she knew that an overly fast increase in one’s strength wasn’t a good thing. Mingyue Gelou was a perfect example of this. For one’s cultivation to bear fruit, every level had to be built properly. Only with solid foundations could one reach loftier heights.

However, she quickly discovered that this energy was very special. Although there was a huge amount, it was very easy to absorb and was docile like water. The energy immediately circulated and was quickly absorbed and altering every part of her body.

Most crucially, she didn’t need to do anything. Within the light, she was unable to sense what was happening outside. At the same time, those on the outside could only sense the massive spiritual energy fluctuations within the white light.

The Lotus Realm’s old female master was shocked but also ecstatic. She was reaching the end of her lifespan. Although the Lotus platform had recognized an owner and there would be someone taking over to lead the Lotus Realm, she was still very unassured. Even with the assistance of the elders, she still couldn’t feel at ease. The Lotus Realm’s leader had to be dignified, moral and have top notch inner qualities. Furthermore, the leader’s cultivation needed to shock people or at the very least, their aptitude needed to be perfect.

Although the Lotus Realm was a Sacred Land and very strong, there were powers that were similar in strength with the Lotus Realm. Therefore, they couldn’t be free of worries, internal strife and foreign aggression.

As time slowly ticked by, Di Chen’s master looked at her disciple who was within that silvery light on the Lotus platform. She felt happiness within her heart but also felt an indescribable feeling, as though she had let down Di Chen. However, when she remembered that Di Chen would need to possess formidable strength for her path ahead, she felt that the current circumstances were good enough.

After persisting for almost an incense stick’s worth of time, the light started to gradually rescinded and Di Chen’s figure gradually became distinct. When Di Chen appeared in front of everyone once again, all of them were stupefied.

Beautiful, previously Di Chen was already exceedingly beautiful. However, there was now an additional immortal aura around her. This aura gave off a special feeling, causing people to forget to even breathe.

This was due to the effects of the Lotus Platform. Her aura gave off the feeling of an immortal lotus. This was the genuine false immortal. As no one believed that there were true immortals, she appeared to be a false immortal that had descended from Heaven.

“I announce that Di Chen will be the 198th generation leader of our Lotus Realm!”

At this moment the old lady walked up and announced. There wasn’t a single person who had a surprised expression. Almost everyone appeared to be happy. Of course there were those that were unhappy, including that seductive woman.

The most unhappy person would be her. If Di Chen hadn’t appeared, she would definitely have become the leader of the Lotus Realm. Among her generation, regardless of intelligence, appearance and cultivation, even though she wasn’t the strongest in all aspects, overall she was definitely ranked in the top five. However, Di Chen’s appearance forcibly pushed her out of the running and just like that, an enormous opportunity for her was lost.

Her gaze was filled with bitter resentment as stared at the goddess-like woman on the platform, incomparable hatred manifesting within her heart.

Di Chen’s gaze, intentionally or otherwise, looked toward that seductive woman. The previous surrounding aura clearly entered her mind, she could roughly gauge what the others were thinking from from their emotion fluctuations.

This was a strange feeling. Furthermore, the strength of the Xiantian Qi circulating in her body made her feel that she could perhaps defeat everyone present. This was the feeling of true power.

Her body already possessed powerful strength, however she was still unfamiliar with this power or rather she couldn’t believe it. She looked around with a calm gaze. Those matchless beautiful eyes made the seductive woman feel extreme fear, as though she was laid bare.

The seductive woman felt as if her thoughts were seen through and became more and more afraid. Di Chen’s aura was incredibly powerful…

After awhile, Di Chen withdrew her gaze and slowly walked down the Lotus platform.

“This is the insignia of the Lotus Realm’s leader. These are the keys and passes. Also, you need to go and accept the Lotus inheritance and train in seclusion for three years,” said the old woman with a smile as she handed the insignia to Di Chen.

“Secluded training for three years?” asked Di Chen in shock.
