Speaking of 'sources of energy'... isn't this very treasure house filled with spirit stones for the most part? Song Shuhang had a very bad premonition.
The nucleus inside his body wasn't going to absorb all these spirit stones and use them as a source of energy to create its small world, right...?
But if the golden lotus was really planning to do so, how many spirit stones would it need to absorb?
Damn, that would really bring him to his demise!
One had to remember that the scholarly faction had to feed that golden lotus for thousands of years. They were forced to hunt and kill countless demons of the Netherworld to fill the 'unholy pond' with the necessary quantity of energy. Only after that did the golden lotus finally mature and blossom, creating their small world.
If the energy accumulated inside the 'unholy pond' through all those thousands of years was converted into spirit stones, it would reach an astronomical figure for sure!
