"Huh? Is that the ancient black lotus?"
On a certain fairy island, the three emperors looked in amazement at the black lotus that flew out from Xuanyuan Moze’s chest and gradually bloomed.
"Is this the black lotus? Didn't I hear that the black lotus disappeared for some years? How come it appeared on Xuanyuan Moze's body?" An old man stroked his beard and said, with some thought in his eyes.
"No wonder he has a dark aura. It turns out it's because the Ancient Black Lotus is on his body."
"But… "
The middle-aged emperor hesitated, looked at the two, and said solemnly: "This ancient black lotus is the lotus of evil. Judging from the situation, Xuanyuan Moze's soul has already been marked by the black lotus. If he ascends, I'm afraid he will definitely become a demon, right?"
Upon hearing this, an old man did not speak. He just stroked his beard and stared at the man and lotus in the picture in the air. No one knew what he was thinking.
The other old man laughed, shook his head, looked at the middle-aged emperor, and said, "No, you are wrong."
"Um?"
The middle-aged emperor looked at him in confusion. Even the old man who was in deep thought looked at the old man who was speaking, waiting for his next words.
The old man smiled, looking at the man and the lotus in the picture in the void, with a smile in his wise eyes, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, it is only the human heart that is evil and dark. Whether or not one will become a demon does not depend on whether the black lotus has been branded in his soul, but whether there is darkness and evil in his heart."
He slowed down, stroked his beard, looked at Xuanyuan Moze and Black Lotus in the picture, and said, "In fact, everyone has a dark and fragile side in their heart, but if his will is firm, the darkness cannot swallow him. If his will is not firm and the Black Lotus induces the darkest and evil side of his heart, then he will be controlled by the Black Lotus. Conversely, he will control the Black Lotus."
As he said this, he smiled and looked at the two of them: "This is very important. Whoever is the dominant one determines everything, and..."
He paused and continued, "This black lotus is an ancient object, a black lotus that destroys the world. When it falls into the hands of some cultivators, the dark power of the black lotus can make them stronger, but it can also make them lose their original intentions and eventually fall into the path of evil. In order to excuse their own cowardice and incompetence, the world calls this black lotus an evil and dark object."
He took a sip of tea and continued, "But in fact, it was originally one of the four lotus seeds of the Chaos Blue Lotus, an ancient treasure of chaos. This black lotus does not have the regenerative power of the Creation Blue Lotus, the purification power of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, or the holy power of the Merit Golden Lotus. It is called the World-Destroying Black Lotus. It has tyrannical power, but it can absorb this tyrannical dark power and transform it into a powerful force. For millions of years, no one has been able to control this power, but, apparently, this Xuanyuan Moze has this ability."
After hearing what he said, the two of them felt relieved of their doubts. However, looking at the blooming black lotus, the middle-aged emperor asked again: "What do you mean? It seems that Xuanyuan Moze can not completely control the black lotus now, right? Look at his dark aura, if..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man opposite.
