Ninth In the World

“How do we get out of here?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked. In her opinion, there was not much difference between the Reincarnation Realm and the Lost Dao World.

Di Jiu smiled, raised his hand, and grabbed the void. A ten-foot rift appeared in the void. Then, Di Jiu said, “Big Brother Mu, Xiaoshuang, the two of you should leave this place first. After the two of you go out, wait for me at Heaven’s Beyond if it’s possible.”

Although the Heaven Earth Law there was not as clear as in the Lost Dao World, he could tear the realm there easily.

“Big Brother Di, are you going to look for the Two-Realm Flower?” Ling Xiaoshuang immediately understood what Di Jiu meant.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “Yes. I have to look for the Two-Realm Flower. Given the strength you two have, nobody should do anything to the two of you there.”

The few experts in Heaven’s Beyond had been killed by him, including Nuo La. Given Ling Xiaoshuang’s late-stage Dao Integration Realm and Mu Lianqi’s Dao Integration Realm, nobody would dare to stop them there.

“Alright. We’ll meet at Heaven’s Beyond.” Mu Lianqi was very straightforward. He waved his hand at Ling Xiaoshuang and rushed into the spatial rift.

Ling Xiaoshuang looked back at Di Jiu, as she was reluctant to part with him. After hesitating for a while, she also rushed into the spatial rift. She was someone who could put it down. If Di Jiu encountered any danger in the future, she would rather sacrifice her own life to help him since Di Jiu had saved her several times.

After Mu Lianqi and Ling Xiaoshuang left, Di Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. There were two things he needed to do now. He had to find the Two-Realm Flower and refine the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

He wanted to know how powerful the Heaven-Opening Mantra would be with the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

Di Jiu didn’t care if he was in the Yin World or the Reincarnation Realm. He was about to tear the void again when he suddenly heard a very weak voice. “Daoist…”

Di Jiu stopped and his eyes fell on a gray stone that was the same color as the stones on the ground. Even the fluctuation of the Dao runes had a faint gloomy aura. It could be said that without the sound of this stone, Di Jiu would not be able to find the difference even after scanning it a hundred times with his Spiritual Force.

However, Di Jiu found out where the sound was coming from. This gray stone looked exactly the same as the surrounding stones, but there was an extra Dao trace. This was not a stone exactly, but a…

When Di Jiu scanned it with his Spiritual Force, he was shocked to find out that it had failed. This was definitely an ultimate priceless treasure.

“You’re a remnant soul?” Due to Ye Yimo’s precedent, Di Jiu immediately understood that there was a remnant soul attached to this gray stone.

“Yes, I’m indeed a remnant soul. This stone is just something that used to be on my Dharma treasure…” explained the remnant soul.

“What is it?” Di Jiu asked subconsciously. As soon as he asked, he realized that his question was inappropriate. This was definitely a priceless treasure, and he should not have asked at all.

That remnant soul did not care and answered, “It is a lotus seed. My Dharma treasure was a Lotus Flower Platform at the time, but it was snatched away. There is only one lotus seed left.”

Di Jiu felt some sympathy for the other party, as even his Dharma treasure had been stolen. Since it could produce lotus seeds, that meant that the opponent’s Lotus Flower Platform had yet to be refined and was natural. If a natural Lotus Flower Platform could become a treasure, he was afraid that even if it wasn’t a Connate one, it wouldn’t be worse than that.

Despite knowing that the other party’s lotus was extraordinary, Di Jiu didn’t think of snatching it. He only asked, “Why did you call me?”

The remnant soul got more excited. “I didn’t misjudge you. You didn’t have ill intentions about my lotus seed.”

Di Jiu chuckled and didn’t bother answering. He had a lot of good stuff, so he wouldn’t covet it even if the other party had the lotus seed of the Green Lotus of Creation. Unless the other party wanted his stuff and attacked him, he would be polite.

The remnant soul had clearly seen Di Jiu’s disdain, but she was not unhappy. On the contrary, she said more excitedly, “I saw you giving the Quintessential Essence of the Universe to someone casually previously. I presumed that you are earnest and not greedy. As expected, I didn’t misjudge.”

“Friend, speak your mind. I really don’t have time to be talking to you,” Di Jiu said helplessly.

“Daoist Di, I know that my request is abrupt, but I really need a drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe. I don’t have any good stuff to give you now. Thus, I can only give you the Green Lotus Origin of the Green Lotus of Creation….” The remnant soul knew Di Jiu’s surname.

Before she could finish her sentence, Di Jiu shouted in shock, “Your lotus seed really came from the Green Lotus of Creation?”

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s shock, the remnant soul trembled. She was nothing in his eyes now. However, she still answered, “Yes, my Dharma treasure at the time was the Green Lotus of Creation, but the people around me plotted against me. If I hadn’t hidden the lotus seed of the Green Lotus of Creation, I’m afraid I would have vanished in the universe.”

She only hoped that she had not misjudged Di Jiu’s nature. If he truly wanted her lotus seed, she could only resign herself to her fate. If she hadn’t seen Di Jiu take out the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, she would not have stopped him.

Di Jiu, who had calmed down from the shock, said sympathetically, “I’m afraid the worst thing in life is having the people around you conspire against you. I sympathize with you very much and I also have the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. However, your Green Lotus Origin is useless to me.”

When the remnant soul heard that he didn’t want to kill her at all, she pushed aside the thoughts of her lotus seed. She was immediately overjoyed and she tried to say at a slower pace, “You should be aware of the background of the Green Lotus of Creation, right? When the universe was created, four heaven-opening lotus seeds appeared in the vast universe. Only one of them became a grade-36 Green Lotus of Creation, which is a Creation treasure. The other three are only grade-12 Connate treasures. Although they are not bad either, they are worlds apart compared to a Creation treasure.”

Di Jiu was overjoyed to hear the remnant soul mention the other three lotus seeds. This was exactly what he needed to know. He quickly cupped his fists and asked, “How should I address you, Senior?”

The remnant soul laughed self-derisively. “I’ve long forgotten my real name, but everyone calls my Sacred Lord Green Lotus. You can call me Green Lotus. You don’t have to call me Senior. I’m not even considered one.”

Di Jiu had a weak concept of seniority, so he didn’t insist on it at all. He instead went on to say, “My name is Di Jiu. Daoist Green Lotus, I still want to ask about the other three lotus seeds.”

Sacred Lord Green Lotus said, “I heard that the other three lotus seeds transformed into the Red Lotus of Hellfire, the Golden Lotus of Virtue, and the Black Lotus of World Destruction. Actually, they’re also considered ultimate Connate treasures. If you do find one of them and use this Green Lotus Origin to cultivate it, you’re likely to cultivate a true grade-36 lotus flower.”

“Daoist Green Lotus, you’re saying that I can use the Green Lotus Origin to cultivate one of the three into a Creation treasure?” Daoist Di asked in shock.

Sacred Lord Green Lotus answered, “I’m afraid it’s unlikely, and the possibility is very weak unless you obtain the other things. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cultivate a Creation treasure. However, refining the grade-36 and the grade-12 lotus flower is completely different. Even if they do not form a Creation treasure, they will form an impressive, ultimate Connate treasure.”

Without hesitation, Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and threw it to her. “Alright. I agree to trade with you.”

Upon seeing that, the stone-like lotus trembled and gratefully swept away the jade bottle. Very soon, that lotus seed burst out with a trace of the origin aura.

Di Jiu didn’t hesitate to envelop it and put it in his Ninth World.

“Thank you, Di Jiu. If I can be reborn in the future, I’ll definitely repay today’s debt of gratitude,” Sacred Lord Green Lotus said excitedly.
