"Zig, Miss Lianna is kind-hearted and has never harmed anyone. Why have you unjustly imprisoned her?! I don't want to kill, but don't force me to bury you with the entire port!" Steve shouted angrily.

"Enough, rest more. I'm going out to help defend the city!" Steve instructed Du Chen before preparing to leave.

"Big brother, it's dangerous out there!" Du Chen called out to him.

"It's fine, I'm just going to protect the statues on the city walls. After all, I am the eldest son of the family and must personally protect our ancestors' statues," Steve replied with a smile.

Du Chen shook his head wryly, but soon he understood. If even the ancestral tablets were at risk, Steve had every reason to take the risk. Shouldn't he be the one to protect the ancestral tablets?

"Be careful, like you said, your life is more important than anything!" Du Chen reminded him.

"Hehe, I know, I still want to keep this life to pursue the beautiful senior sister in the Academy of Fighter Gods!" Steve said, turning and leaving.

As soon as Steve stepped outside, he saw Zig walking briskly in the courtyard. Norton was trying to stop him.

"Headmaster, why are you coming out?" Steve hurriedly asked.

Norton smiled bitterly, "Young Master Steve, please help me persuade the headmaster. He insists on going to fight, but his health..."

Zig firmly stated, "This is all my fault. I cannot bring disaster to the port of Antwerp. Ah, I neglected to consider that the venom left in my body by that scoundrel still has tracking effects!"

"Your Majesty, after your orders yesterday, I have spread sea lavender throughout the city. At most, he can only smell your scent left outside the city. He will never discover you here."

"It's precisely because he cannot determine my location that he has besieged the city to force me out. You don't need to say anymore..." Zig pushed aside Norton's restraining arm and strode forward.

Norton hurriedly followed his footsteps but didn't dare to use force. He could only extend his hands, attempting to stop him. "Your Majesty, the person sent to seek help from the Academy of Fighter Gods has already been dispatched. It's a Level 6 combat god, and they can cover 500 miles of sea in one day. Perhaps the teachers in the academy have already received the news, and the Imperial Legion from the south is also on their way to reinforce us. As long as we hold on for one day, just one day!"

"What if he attacks the city within a day? How many people will die?!"

Zig shouted with his hands behind his back, "I won't command you, only request you, step aside!"

He glared at Norton angrily, his current momentum and noble status making Norton dare not stop him. He could only advise, "Your Majesty, if you insist on going, at least take the sacred artifact with you!"

"My Holy artifact is imprisoning that witch, I can't move it!"

Zig walked out of the Lord's Mansion, with Norton and Steve following behind.

Inside the room, Du Chen heard the conversation outside, and his heart stirred.

The port of Antwerp was facing a bloody battle. If he could stop this fight, it would be a great act of kindness. Du Chen still remembered an ancient saying from his past life, "Stop the Battle, and the greatest good has no bounds!"

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Thinking of doing good, Du Chen suddenly remembered that the third lotus flower seemed to have bloomed before he lost consciousness!

With this in mind, he turned his tired body on the bed, took off his shorts, and turned his head to look at his buttocks. But as soon as he turned his neck, he realized something was wrong.

Before, it was always difficult for him to turn his head to look at his buttocks. Several times, he accidentally strained his neck. But now, he could easily turn his neck behind him. Although he hadn't reached the terrifying 180-degree rotation, he could easily see the tattoo on his buttocks.

It seemed as if the flexibility of his bones had suddenly increased.

At the same time, his lotus inner energy had become much stronger, as thick as a baby's wrist.

Gradually regaining his strength, Du Chen got out of bed and stood up, feeling pleasantly surprised.

His body felt lighter...

His speed had increased...

His vision had improved...

His sense of smell was stronger...

...

It seemed like his entire body had been strengthened.

He suddenly understood that the first layer of the "Lotus Treasure Mirror" was mainly for transforming his body! The intense pain just now was a sign of his rebirth.

And it was true. The "Lotus Treasure Mirror had a total of eight layers. After all three lotus flowers on the "Three Consecutive Qian Gua" （12 o'clock orientation）bloomed, Du Chen would be reborn, shedding his countless impurities and being transformed into a body suitable for cultivating immortality!

Or rather, this stage was to lay the deepest foundation for his future cultivation!

But this was only the foundation. The door to cultivating immortality, the supreme secret method created by the Bodhi Patriarch, who embraced both Buddhism and Taoism, had just opened a crack for Du Chen, allowing him to see a glimmer of light.

"Hehe, Master, your disciple has completed one-eighth of the journey!" Du Chen's heart was filled with mixed emotions as he finally took a serious look at the tattoo on his buttocks.

All three lotus flowers on the "Three Consecutive Qian Gua"（12 o'clock orientation） had bloomed, and the lotus flower in the upper left corner of the "Upper Deficiency Dui Gua" （1 o'clock orientation）had also slightly opened its bud. Du Chen had officially entered the second layer of cultivation.

The "Upper Deficiency Dui Gua"（1 o'clock orientation） has a total of four lotus flowers, divided into four levels. According to the characteristics of the "Treasure Mirror" that the further you progress in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, it is unknown when all the flowers will bloom.

Patting his buttocks, Du Chen laughed. But his laughter didn't last long as he suddenly felt a heat on his buttocks, as if something had been added to the tattoo.

He raised his hand to take a look.

Heavens, the three lotus flowers on the "Three Consecutive Qian Gua" tattoo had actually left his buttocks and transformed into real lotus flowers, swirling around his hand. They were golden and the size of goose eggs, with sparkling golden droplets like jade beads on top, shining brightly! Without thinking, Du Chen exclaimed, "Immortal treasure, immortal treasure!"

With a clear mind, Du Chen infused his inner energy into one of the lotus flowers and casually threw it out. With a loud bang, it created a large hole in the ground.

That's right, this was an immortal treasure. The "Lotus Treasure Mirror" allowed Du Chen to cultivate together with the human and the treasure...

However, the specific uses of this lotus flower treasure would need to be explored slowly by Du Chen.

"Master Francis, what happened?" The servant outside heard the noise and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I accidentally knocked over the wardrobe! You don't need to come in, I've already tidied it up!"

Du Chen was thinking about how to hide the lotus flower treasure when suddenly, the three lotus flowers flew back to his buttocks on their own and turned back into tattoos!

Seeing this, Du Chen could only smile secretly. Immortal treasures were truly extraordinary!

At this moment, a loud shout came from the sky above the Port of Antwerp, "Zig, you are unable to distinguish right from wrong, stubborn and narrow-minded. Are you really forcing me to kill innocent civilians inside the city?"

"With me here, do you dare to take a step forward?" Zig's voice sounded somewhat weak, after all, he was a heavily injured and poisoned person.

A fight was about to break out outside. Did he have the ability to stop this conflict? Du Chen contemplated in his mind. There was a way, as long as he saved the witch under the statue, everything would be resolved. He would also accomplish a great act of kindness by "stopping Battle."

But could that witch be easily saved? How many guards would there be in the dungeon of the Lord's Mansion?

Taking risks was fine, but showing off was absolutely not allowed!

Just as Du Chen had made up his mind, a servant outside called out, "Master Francis, a fight has broken out outside the city. Zig Holiness is causing the giant earthquakes and landslidest with fighting. Hurry and prepare yourself. Bring your trusted followers and hide with us in the underground secret chamber. There, you will be protected by the sacred artifact left behind by Zig Holiness!"
