Chapter 1272 1183: The Dark Lotus Seedpod
With Zhuangzi's words, Wang Yan felt the lotus seedpod beneath him suddenly produce a massive suction force, making it impossible for him to remain seated, and he was instantly sucked into the lotus seedpod.
Wang Yan only felt a blackness before his eyes and instantly lost consciousness.
At this moment, what Zhuangzi saw was Wang Yan being sucked into the lotus seedpod, and above it, there was no one.
Zhuangzi looked at the empty lotus seedpod in front of him and murmured: "Three thousand years, you are the third one. The previous two never reappeared, and their cultivation turned into the Fallen Lotus. I wonder if you can come out safely or make me wait another thousand years."
With these words, the entire hall fell into silence immediately.
At this time, Wang Yan slowly opened his eyes and then suddenly stood up.
First, inspecting his body, Wang Yan saw that his cultivation was still intact, and he had really reached the level of Demon Venerable.
The Starlight Ring was also on his hand, all the Magical Treasures within were intact.
Wang Yan immediately calmed down and began surveying his surroundings.
He found himself trapped in a mystical space, with all four walls transparent. He could clearly see that what confined him was a lotus seedpod.
Wang Yan was puzzled and thought, am I being trapped in this lotus seedpod because of the calamity Zhuangzi mentioned?
While Wang Yan was in doubt, he heard a muffled voice coming from within the lotus seedpod: "This is the Eye of Heaven and Earth, allowing you to see everything you wish to see."
Although he heard the voice, he had no idea where it came from; it seemed as if it was emitted by the lotus seedpod itself.
Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "Alright, then I want to see who my father is."
"Please wait." The inside of the lotus seedpod fell silent again.
But a moment later, the lotus seedpod's voice echoed again: "Strangely, there's absolutely no way to see who your father is. Perhaps my magical power is insufficient to reveal a more powerful existence."
Initially, Wang Yan still harbored doubts, but upon hearing the lotus seedpod's words, he couldn't help but start believing it.
However, his doubts weren't entirely dispelled, so he requested again, "Then let me see the person I love."
"Who is the person you love? Beiming Xue? Ouyang Feiting? Or Catwoman Xiaojie? Perhaps it's Su Yamo? Or Si Qin?"
Hearing the lotus seedpod continue to list names, Wang Yan hurriedly interrupted, "Alright, alright, there can't be that many!"
"Don't you love these people at all? Why do they all admire you, then? If you didn't harbor feelings, why would they love you?"
The words from the lotus seedpod made Wang Yan's face flush. He quickly said, "Forget it, just show me Beiming Xue."
"Alright."
With the lotus seedpod's agreement, a scene appeared outside the lotus seedpod in front of Wang Yan.
It showed Beiming Xue, Hu Wei, and Ma Jun, disguised as ordinary people, becoming employees at the Qinling Museum. They were cleaning the terracotta warriors displayed as ancient artifacts.
Wang Yan felt warmth in his heart: So they couldn't rest assured and waited for me in the museum.
"Show me Ouyang Feiting next," Wang Yan said.
"Alright."
In the darkness, the lotus seedpod's voice echoed again, and a new scene appeared beside the museum display.
In this one, Ouyang Feiting, under the guidance of Ouyang Qiu, was led to a place full of tropical forests.
Ouyang Feiting sat on a massive wooden chair, surrounded by tens of thousands, all respectfully calling her "Saintess."
Wang Yan pondered: Didn't Ouyang Feiting return to her family? How did she become a Saintess? And what is this place? It doesn't look like the Celestial Dynasty.
"Who else do you want to see?" the lotus seedpod asked as Wang Yan pondered.
"Well... let me see Elder Si Qin." Saying Elder Si Qin's name made Wang Yan blush a little.
Even after denying affection for Elder Si Qin earlier, he still wanted to see her.
"Alright!"
Fortunately, the lotus seedpod didn't question him and conjured a third scene.
It was inside Elder Si Qin's chambers, where steam curled in the air; a large wooden tub sat in the room, and Elder Si Qin was bathing in it. A maid nearby used a wooden ladle to pour water over Elder Si Qin's exposed shoulders.
"Elder Si Qin is bathing!" Wang Yan quickly turned away, not daring to look further.
But the alluring scene imprinted deeply on Wang Yan's mind, causing his heart to race.
"Enough, enough, put it away quickly."
Wang Yan waved his hand in a hurry.
But suddenly, Elder Si Qin shouted in an angry tone: "Who's there!"
This voice was filled with fury.
Wang Yan was startled, instinctively turning his head.
Just as he turned, Elder Si Qin leaped out of the bathing tub.
Her exquisite form was visible amidst the mist, and Wang Yan was momentarily transfixed by the sight.
Fortunately, Elder Si Qin quickly gestured, draping a piece of clothing over herself as she dashed out of the room, snapping Wang Yan back to his senses.
As Elder Si Qin exited, a scene of chaos unfolded outside. The Mozi Academy was in disarray.
Everywhere shouts and cries echoed, and students were fleeing while being assaulted by unending Blazing Flame Flood Dragons and Vampire Bats.
Elder Si Qin frowned and rushed out, ready to aid the students.
But just then, three Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Flood Dragons emerged from hiding and attacked Elder Si Qin.
Elder Si Qin was caught off guard by the ambush. Though she wished to retaliate, she was powerless against three Venerable Tier Blazing Flame Flood Dragons, leaving her to stare blankly as the deadly strikes lunged at her.
"Elder Si Qin!" Wang Yan cried, rushing forward, only to be blocked by the lotus seedpod.
Meanwhile, in the scene, the tens of thousands surrounding Ouyang Feiting suddenly turned hostile, charging towards her.
In the first scene, Beiming Xue was cleaning a section of damaged terracotta warriors in the museum when suddenly, hundreds of these warriors revived, thrusting their spears toward the unsuspecting Beiming Xue.
In an instant, Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Elder Si Qin all fell into danger.
Wang Yan, inside the lotus seedpod, was extremely anxious, his eyes nearly tearing apart.
"Let me out!"
Wang Yan roared angrily.
"There is only one way to save them: exchange all of your cultivation!"
The lotus seedpod's cold voice echoed in the darkness.
