Chapter 541: Third Revolution
The instant the Lotus Core returned to its place, a surge of primordial essence poured out from the core of the Lotus Platform with a boom, flowing like a clear spring through his meridians, merging into Chen Qing's limbs, elixir field, qi ocean, and every inch of flesh, blood, tendon, and bone.
The Golden Core in his elixir field spun in a frenzy, growing ever more solid and radiant. His cultivation, which had been like a floodgate thrown open, surged upward in a rush.

Chen Qing turned his awareness inward. Only a last thin barrier separated him from the Third Revolution Grandmaster realm, a single final step away.
Yet he did not rush the breakthrough. He formed a hand seal with his fingertips and forcibly pressed down the restless stirring of the Golden Core.
"This Thirteen-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform is the supreme defensive treasure of our Buddhist order," the Xuanmo Buddha Sovereign's voice rang out once more. "It can not only shield your physical body from damage by outside forces, but also guard your Will Sea, keeping all demons from intruding and all evil from entering. In ordinary times, it can also slowly nurture your soul and True Origin, bringing tranquility to the heart and spirit, its uses without limit."
"However, activating this treasure also consumes greatly. Beyond drawing on your own True Origin and divine sense, the most fundamental requirement is that it must be nourished by spirit water."
"Spirit water?" Chen Qing raised his eyes toward that skeleton seated cross-legged, asking in a grave voice.
"That is correct," the Xuanmo Buddha Sovereign's voice carried a trace of wistfulness. "The Lotus Platform's origin requires spirit water for sustenance before it can exert its full power. The Lotus Platform has only just been restored to wholeness, and its spirit water is exhausted. Many of its wonders will be temporarily difficult to deploy, its power greatly diminished. In the days ahead, you may gather heavenly and earthly spirit springs and spirit water as precious resources, to have ready for when you need them."
