C553 A lotus flower

With his current strength, he was completely capable of plucking the petals of the five lotus types – the golden lotus, the green lotus, the blue lotus, the red lotus, and the yellow lotus.

In this gathering of heroes, Ye Daoxuan did not want others to know that he possessed the physique of one of the five elements, otherwise it would be too shocking and would definitely cause a huge sensation. If the Wasteland race were to find out that there was such a genius in the human race, they would definitely send experts to kill him, which would be very troublesome.

He was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible. Before he lacked the ability to protect himself, he did not want to be too flamboyant. Even Baili You Rong did not know that he possessed the physique of the five elements and numerous trump cards.

As for those lotus seeds, it was fine as long as they could temporarily enter the top one hundred. As for the other lotus seeds, if there was a chance, he would fight for them.

The Xia siblings successfully graduated with a blue lotus petal.

Xia Xiaoyi was an Immortal Realm Saint Immortal expert who had easily harvested the flower petals; however, Xia Xiaoxian had the ability to challenge those above her cultivation level. After fighting with all her might, she finally managed to pluck one flower petal and returned to the lakeside with great excitement.

Although thousands of experts had already flown out like moths to a flame to pluck the petals, he wasn't in a hurry to act.

After flying onto the surface of the lake, Ye Daoxuan had entered a very mysterious state. He could feel that the Five Elements Lotus in the lake had developed a sort of closeness to him, as if as long as he reached out his hand, he would be able to take all the lotus seeds and put them into his storage bag. He wouldn't be like other martial artists who would be able to pluck a single petal.

Ye Daoxuan knew that this was most likely because he had the body of the Five Elements, as well as the Bodhi Spirit Tree.

The Bodhisattva Spirit Tree and the lotus flower in the lake were both treasures of heaven and earth. They knew that they appreciated each other and resonated with each other.

Ye Daoxuan even thought that if he were to place the hundred lotuses in the space of his dragon ring, they would grow even better like the Bodhi Spirit Tree.

Ye Daoxuan's mind was greatly moved. If it weren't for the fact that the Four Lotus Flower Elders, who protected the lake, were also members of the "Flaming Yellow", he would have really wanted to find a way to take all one hundred lotuses from the lake.

"Ye Daoxuan, you can do it!"

Xia Xiaoxian stood at the lake shore. When she saw that Ye Daoxuan was floating in the air without moving, she couldn't help but worry. Half of the golden flower petals had already been plucked by someone.

Not only Xia Xiaoxian, but even Baili You and You Rong couldn't understand why Ye Daoxuan didn't make a move. Although the vast majority of the warriors had fallen because of the counterattack of the lotus leaves, there were still thousands of warriors around Ye Daoxuan like wolves and tigers, trying their best to pick the golden lotus petals.

Baili You Rong's divine sense swept across the experts surrounding Ye Dao's profound body. Based on their strength, she estimated that if they were ten breaths later, all of the flower petals would have been plucked. At that time, Ye Dao Xuan would have no choice but to return.

Ye Daoxuan faintly smiled as he heard Xia Xiaoxian's urging. With a thought, a giant hand of true essence extended forward, passing the thousands of martial artists and avoiding the attack of the stem and leaves, gently pinching the petals of a golden lotus.

The "Heaven's Pride Board" had a rule that stated that after any expert plucked the flower petals, they were not allowed to attack any other expert, and those who violated this rule would be expelled from the "Heaven's Pride Board". Without this rule, anyone who picked the flower petals would be attacked by a group of experts.

As a result, after picking a flower petal, under the envious and resentful gazes of the surrounding experts, Ye Daoxuan returned to the lakeside safe and sound, standing side by side with the Xia siblings and Baili You Rong.

"Brother Ye Xian, congratulations."

"Ye Daoxuan, well done!"

The Xia siblings congratulated Ye Daoxuan in unison.

Baili You Rong sighed, "Brother, I found out that when you were picking the petals, it was much easier than me. It's really strange! Just how many more secrets are you hiding? "

Ye Daoxuan said with a smile, "There's no secret. I think those lotuses are spiritual objects created by the heavens and the earth. Perhaps if they felt that I was fated to meet them, they wouldn't set any defenses against me. Otherwise, with my strength, how could it be so easily harvested! "

Xia Xiaoyi said, "No matter what, since fellow Immortal Ye obtained a petal, you have passed the first round. It's worth celebrating. However, the next test of advancing to the top 100 in the second round was more than ten times more difficult! Fellow Immortal Ye must use all of his strength to deal with it, otherwise, all of his previous work would have been for naught, it would be such a pity! "

He then said to his sister Xia Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, you also have to be careful. Although you have the ability to challenge others, your cultivation is still too low, and the pressure released by the Four Lotus Flower Elders are extremely strong. However, as long as you can last past 100 breaths, it should not be a problem for you to advance to the top 100. "

"I'll do my best." Xia Xiaoxian looked at Ye Daoxuan, and said in a clear voice, "Ye Daoxuan, you have to work hard too. We two are at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, try to advance together, don't let anyone underestimate us! "

Ye Daoxuan smiled and nodded.

After hundreds of breaths, the hundred lotus petals were divided among a thousand experts and advanced to the second round. As for the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who failed to pluck the lotus petals, they were miserably eliminated.

The thousand experts that advanced were all in high spirits and excited. The ones that were eliminated had gloomy expressions and dejected heads. They could only wait for the next 'Heaven's Pride Board' to fight again.

A portion of the eliminated experts left in disappointment, but the vast majority of them chose to stay behind. They prepared to see who would advance to the top ten of this year's "Heaven's Pride Board", and who would obtain the top three rankings.

They knew that the next step would be for the "Four Lotus Blossom Elders" to personally take action, releasing their oppressive might to carry out another round of tests on them. After passing this round, they would be able to successfully advance to the top 100 ranks, obtaining the reward of a lotus seed, which would then give them hope to compete for a higher ranking.

Baili You Rong stood beside Ye Daoxuan, and said in a low voice, "The 'Four Lotus Priests' all have dual elemental bloodlines. The four of them have metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder affinity bloodlines, and are able to suppress one thousand experts of different bloodlines to test their strength."

"For example, you and I both have metal-attribute bloodlines. Old Man Golden Lotus would release his might towards a metal-attribute powerhouse like you or me. Whoever could not persist under the pressure first would be eliminated. The same was true for martial artists of other attributes. The experts who managed to make it to the final one hundred would naturally enter the top one hundred of this year's Heaven's Pride Board. Then, the hundred experts will all display their abilities and fight head on with strength, determining the order of strength in the end. "

As soon as Baili You Rong finished her words, the "Four Lotus Flower Old Man" let out a soft shout in unison. This was a reminder to the one thousand experts that they were ready to release their pressure.

How powerful was the half-step immortal king's pressure that could flatten mountains and turn the Hundred Miles Wasteland into a deep ravine? Thus, after the Lotus Four Elders lightly shouted, all of the close to a thousand experts, excluding Baili You Rong, became extremely nervous as they formed immortal elemental energy barriers to defend themselves.

Nearly a thousand experts had put forth all their strength to defend, lest they be eliminated early on.
