"Hold your tongue for now. Study this black lotus and Xuanyuan Mo Ze closely." The elder gestured, directing his gaze to the figure and lotus within the scene.
"Ah, so that's it." The other elder nodded in realization. "No wonder I felt something was off when I first saw it. This explains it."
Seeing both elders now fully grasping the situation, the middle-aged Emperor inquired, "If you know, then speak!"
"Hahahaha..." Amused by his impatience, the two burst into hearty laughter. Stroking their beards and exchanging knowing glances, one finally replied, "Good heavens! At your age, why are you still so impatient?"
The elder chuckled. "Look closely. Doesn't Xuanyuan Mo Ze and the black lotus appear as one?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged Emperor froze. He stared at the scene, seeing the man and lotus in perfect harmony. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if the lotus existed within the man, and the man within the lotus. They had reached the realm of human-lotus unity.
