Ninth In the World-Chapter 900 - A Grudge Against the Green Lotus

Chapter 900: A Grudge Against the Green Lotus

What kind of place was this? Di Jiu looked at his surroundings in confusion. This place was actually not outside the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone but in an unfamiliar void. None of the people who had come out with him were there.

He very soon realized that although they had come out of the same place, there was a myriad of Void Realms. Therefore, they might not have landed in the same place.

However, since he was safe, Po Xu and the others should be fine as well.

Except for Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe, who had lower cultivation levels, Po Xu and the rest were strong and would definitely be fine. Even though Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe were Primordial Chaos cultivators, they could still protect themselves.

Di Jiu stretched out his Spiritual Force and all the surrounding laws very soon became clear. In an instant, Di Jiu felt pleasantly surprised. Although it felt indistinct, he could still sense the location of his Five-Element Flags. As long as he could sense that, he could return to the Great Ultimate Realm.

Before Di Jiu executed his nomological escape technique, a vague figure appeared in his Spiritual Force. Very soon, that figure landed before him.

“It’s you!” The figure before Di Jiu shouted in pleasant surprise. Then, a violent domain aura locked that space.

Di Jiu didn’t even bother moving. He only looked at the beautiful lady before his eyes and faintly said, “Xing Xi, do you think that because you’re at the mid-stage Dao Integration, you can crush me easily?”

The woman before his eyes was Xing Xi. In the past, she had wanted to deal with Di Jiu in the Xian Ocean. However, she had been taught a lesson by him later. She had probably successfully completed the Dao Integration, so she wanted to settle any old scores after seeing Di Jiu. Apart from that, Xing Xi also knew very well that Di Jiu had a huge secret.

Xing Xi looked at Di Jiu sarcastically. “Even if you are powerful, don’t even dream of escaping today. What happened in the past will not be repeated.”

Di Jiu didn’t understand what Xing Xi meant by referencing the past. He only knew that he didn’t care. In fact, Xing Xi was talking about chasing Ning Cheng in the past. At that time, Ning Cheng had also been a Primordial Chaos weakling and had successfully completed the Dao Integration long ago. As a Dao Integration expert, she’d wanted to kill Ning Cheng, who was a Primordial Chaos weakling. She had chased her to countless places, but Ning Cheng had been eventually stronger than her. As a result, she had chased after Xing Xi instead.

Given her past experiences, Xing Xi naturally didn’t want history to repeat itself.

Di Jiu opened his palm and his Heavenly Aqua Saber floated in front of him. Based on what he had learned, Xing Xi had been on par with Yi Ji in the past. If Yi Ji couldn’t be cocky in front of Di Jiu, what could Xing Xi do?

“You would actually dare to make a move in front of me?” Xing Xi looked at Di Jiu in shock.

In her opinion, Di Jiu was only at the late-stage Primordial Chaos at best. He couldn’t have attained the Dao Integration. He only had a few Creation treasures. Although she didn’t have a Creation treasure, she had a Creation cultivation technique. Plus, she had not been reborn from a remnant soul but had truly been reborn through reincarnation. This was why she had rapidly and successfully completed the Dao Integration.

Unlike being reborn from a remnant soul, after being reborn through reincarnation, she had a deeper insight into the Dao of the universe upon attaining the Dao Integration.

If she had also obtained the Green Lotus of Creation in the past, Xing Xi believed that she would not have been afraid of Ning Cheng at all.

This was also why, while Xing Xi frantically cultivated without the Green Lotus of Creation, she also frantically collected all sorts of top-notch Dharma treasures.

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, which was at a higher level than her incomplete Green Lotus Dao. Now that Di Jiu had set up his own laws and integrated them into his Nomological Dao, Xing Xi couldn’t see his true strength, which was not surprising.

Di Jiu looked at Xing Xi speechlessly. “How confident are you about saying such things? Don’t worry, though. I won’t kill you today. Someone else will do that.”

Xing Xi smiled sarcastically and did not take Di Jiu’s words to heart.

Di Jiu opened his palm and a trace of Green Lotus Origin appeared. He then said with a sneer, “You know who wants to kill you, right?”

Xing Xi, who didn’t mind Di Jiu’s words at all, stared with wide eyes at the trace of Green Lotus Origin in Di Jiu’s hand and mumbled, “The Green Lotus Origin… You actually have the Green Lotus Origin…”

She was aware of the true value of the Green Lotus Origin. If she found any connate lotus flowers, she could use the Green Lotus Origin to make this connate lotus flower turn into a treasure of the same level as the Green Lotus of Creation.

This trace of Green Lotus Origin could even allow an ordinary lotus flower to turn into a connate treasure that was not inferior to it. In other words, if she had this trace of Green Lotus Origin, even without using it to upgrade lotus flower Dharma treasures, when this trace of Green Lotus Origin was integrated into her body, she could easily reach the third step and become an extremely powerful third-step expert.

Di Jiu put away the Green Lotus Origin and said with a sneer, “How dare you covet my Green Lotus Origin! You’re lucky that a greedy person like you could even be reborn.”

“Where did you get the Green Lotus Origin?” Xing Xi held back her inner excitement and tried to speak slowly.

Di Jiu faintly answered, “As expected, your greediness has blinded your intelligence. A friend of mine gave me this origin. I won’t kill you because my friend will.”

Upon hearing that, Xing Xi frowned. All of a sudden, a clear voice was heard. “Daoist Di is right. I’m the one who wants to kill you. After all, after I kill you, I will be able to perfect my own Dao heart.”

Then, a woman in a green skirt landed not far away from Di Jiu and Xing Xi. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had long detected this woman, and he knew that things would be getting interesting soon. The woman in the green skirt was the original owner of the Green Lotus of Creation, Sacred Lord Green Lotus.

Sacred Lord Green Lotus bowed before Di Jiu. “Thank you for saving me, Daoist Di. Without you, I would have still been in oblivion.”

To be precise, she was right. If she hadn’t called Di Jiu and asked for help while risking being killed, she would not have been able to come out of oblivion in this lifetime.

“Sacred Lord…” When Xing Xi saw the woman in the green skirt, her face turned pale before she mumbled, “This is impossible. Impossible… She perished. I…”

“You witnessed that, didn’t you?” Sacred Lord Green Lotus looked at Xing Xi sarcastically. “How did I treat you in the past? Without me, you would have died many times. I’ve never treated you as an outsider. I cleansed your cultivation technique, your Dao, and even your aptitude again and again. However, you’re an ingrate. You plotted against me when I needed your help the most. You even burned my soul for 10,000 years until it dissipated completely. Only then did you feel assured.”

“But why…”

“Why am I still alive?” Sacred Lord Green Lotus exhaled before she carried on. “I have a clear conscience. Having an ingrate like you plot against me is also a tribulation of mine. Since I had a clear conscience, I survived.”

Green Lotus did not say anything else. Her survival was a secret, so she naturally wouldn’t tell Xing Xi about it.

Xing Xi suddenly came to a realization and her pale face became fierce out of the blue. “So what if you have been reborn? You have yet to attain the Dao Integration. I, Xing Xi, will make you die again today…”

After she said that, Xing Xi’s surrounding Dao runes soared. Her twelve-piece lotus flower blade flares swept out violently while a guqin floated above her head. With a strumming sound, it swept up countless grim auras.

As Green Lotus was about to ask Di Jiu for help, Di Jiu’s eyes turned bloodshot. A violet Dao rune swept over, and his Heavenly Aqua Saber turned into blade flares that tore the void and bound Xing Xi.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! At that moment, thanks to Di Jiu’s violent aura and furious killing intent, Xing Xi’s domain and the locked space exploded before getting turned into scraps.
