Zheng Chun was speechless upon laying eyes on the thing in Shen Yi's hand. He was not the only one wearing a surprised expression. Xia Gao did, too.
The Ascension Heavenly Lotus was an extremely rare artifact. Only a few knew it existed, and even fewer had ever laid eyes on it. Those who did would immediately use it to their advantage, so it never lasted for long.
No one knew how this artifact came into being other than that it was nature-made. A few experts who knew of its existence theorized that it was the crystallization of the spirit core of a Deity Beast that died aeons ago, buried and fossilized deep in the ground with a ley line passing through it. This theory was never confirmed, though.
