“It’s this Wangchuan, not that Wangchuan¹…” Nong Xiuqi corrected Di Jiu’s mistake.

This still meant the same thing. Di Jiu caressed Nong Xiuqi’s hair with affection and said shamefully, “You’ve raised Wangchuan and Qiushui by yourself. I didn’t do my duty. You’ve had a hard time all these years.”

Nong Xiuqi’s eyes turned red. She immediately shook her head and said, “I’m sorry I didn’t take good care of them. Qiushui suffered through a bad marriage. She was taken advantage of because I imparted to her some cultivation techniques. Although I saved Qiushui with Wangchuan later on, her daughter died.”

As she spoke, she had already immersed herself in her memories. The most beautiful days of her life were the few days when she had become Di Jiu’s wife.

She had been carefree and she’d had no worries while she had been with Di Jiu. However, he hadn’t returned after leaving one day. She had waited for him for many years to no avail. According to Shen Ziyu’s exploration, he had happened to enter a Teleportation Array and leave Earth.

She had thought more than once that she would never meet Di Jiu again in this lifetime. As a result, she had not valued her life. She had ignited her soul, thinking that she could perhaps see him after reincarnation.

She had never expected that after igniting her soul, she would once again meet Di Jiu. If she had known that she would find him by igniting her soul, she would perhaps have done so earlier.

“You mean Xiangnu?” Di Jiu immediately asked.

Nong Xiuqi looked at Di Jiu in pleasant surprise. “Di Jiu, how did you know Xiangnu? I’m sorry…”

She felt too ashamed to speak of Xiangnu. Back then, she hadn’t wanted this illegitimate child of the Ning Family. At the time, because Qiushui had been thinking of her husband, she had long forgotten about Xiangnu. After so many years, the anger of the past had dissipated. No matter how ruthless the Ning Family was or how many bad things they had done, it had nothing to do with the child. Xiangnu was innocent.

Di Jiu responded, “Back then, I landed on the Big Deep Planet with serious injuries. It was Xiangnu who saved me. I guess it was a mysterious feeling, but when I met Xiangnu, I missed you even more.”

“Ah…” Nong Xiuqi covered her mouth and her eyes were filled with lingering fear. If the Ning Family had vented its anger on Xiangnu and she had later been killed, would there have been nobody to save Di Jiu on the Big Deep Planet?

As soon as he saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking and said with a sigh, “The Ning Family didn’t let Xiangnu off. They threw Xiangnu, who was only a few years old, into the smelly ditch. If two of her friends hadn’t saved her, she might have perished. When I met Xiangnu, she and her two friends had the willpower to live but led a very difficult life. Although her friends had been taking care of her, I ended up taking her away. When I entered the Immortal World, I left her in an immortal city. I didn’t think that I wouldn’t go back again after leaving.”

Di Jiu had made up his mind to take Xiuqi back with him to find Xiangnu.

Nong Xiuqi’s tears couldn’t help but stream down her face. What she regretted the most was not taking care of Xiangnu.

“I’m sorry. I… I…” Nong Xiuqi felt so guilty that she couldn’t utter a word.

Di Jiu patted Nong Xiuqi and consoled her. “You don’t have to worry. Xiangnu will not blame you.”

She shook her head. “No, Xiangnu will definitely hate me.”

Di Jiu smiled. “Xiangnu is very kind and she only remembers love. She rarely bears grudges. She only yearns for you and Qiushui deep down…”

Upon hearing that, she felt even guiltier. After all, she had experienced more things, yet she was not as good as Xiangnu.

Di Jiu changed the topic and said, “After some time, I’ll take you to see Xiangnu. Oh, that’s right. Where did Qiushui and Wangchuan ascend from? Why didn’t I hear any news about them?”

When Nong Xiuqi heard that, she looked even more dejected. “I didn’t take good care of them. After Qiushui lost her husband, she became somewhat reticent and suffered a mental blow. On the contrary, her cultivation speed became faster. After she cultivated to the perfected True Form Realm, she had to go back with Wangchuan to find you, as he wanted to do so.

“Actually, I planned to go with them. However, Sister Ziyu said that you might have left Earth or even ascended to the Immortal World. Therefore, I separated from Wangchuan and Qiushui. I would ascend to the Immortal World to find you, while they would go to Earth to seek you. If they couldn’t find you, they would ascend to the Immortal World and meet up with me right away.”

Di Jiu frowned and asked in confusion, “Xiuqi, you are saying that Qiushui and Wangchuan went to Earth to find me? How did they go there?”

“We knew a powerful Talisman Dao expert and asked him for a few Plane Split Talismans. After Qiushui and Wangchuan left the Big Deep Planet, I never saw them again. When I ascended to the Immortal World with Sister Ziyu, I lost contact with her. I worked hard to cultivate, hoping that I could tear apart the low-level plane and return to Earth to take a look someday. I had a good opportunity and I found some inherited historical ruins…”

As she spoke of this, she seemed to recall something. She quickly took out a pearl and handed it to Di Jiu. “Di Jiu, this is for you. After I obtained this pearl, my cultivation progressed rapidly and improved fast.”

Di Jiu took this pearl and immediately sensed a faint circulation of Dao runes that contained a fresh, clean aura. Despite only holding it in his hand, he could feel his Dao become a little clearer. This was definitely good stuff.

His Spiritual Force immediately landed on his Book of the World and found an extra page in it.

It was the Corral Dao Pearl, a connate treasure that could give birth to any Dao and strengthen the insight into the Dao and cultivation progress as well as cleanse and strip the remorse of the Dao. It was no wonder that Nong Xiuqi had ascended to the Dao World in a short time and rapidly improved her strength.

“Xiuqi, this is the Corral Dao Pearl. Why haven’t you refined it yet? If you refine it, your cultivation level will be much more powerful.” Di Jiu gave the Corral Dao Pearl back to her.

Nong Xiuqi pushed it back. She shook her head and said, “Di Jiu, I did not refine it on purpose because I was keeping it for you. Only when you have a strong cultivation level will our family be safe. I’ll always be by your side, so it doesn’t matter if I have this.”

Di Jiu still put the Corral Dao Pearl in Nong Xiuqi’s hands. “Xiuqi, my cultivation technique is extraordinary. My cultivation level is much, much stronger than yours. This Corral Dao Pearl won’t make a difference to me. Keep this for yourself. I’ll give you something else.”

After he said that, he took out a black lotus flower and presented it before her.

When the connate Dao runes swept over, Nong Xiuqi immediately knew that this was definitely the most top-notch treasure in the universe. She opened her mouth wide as she looked at him. “Di Jiu, this is…”

“This is a Black Lotus of World Destruction that I happened to obtain. Apart from that, I also obtained a trace of Green Lotus of Creation Origin. I’ll give that to you later on. As long as you use this to cultivate the Black Lotus of World Destruction, you’ll likely cultivate another Black Lotus of World Destruction,” explained Di Jiu. This black lotus could be considered the one with the most potential among the treasures he had obtained.

Since he had a lot of good stuff, he would rather share it than keep it for himself.

“The rumors are true. There is really a Black Lotus of World Destruction?” Nong Xiuqi looked at Di Jiu in pleasant surprise. She knew about the legends of China.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “I’m sure the Chinese legends exist for a reason. Many things exist, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Keep this black lotus. I still have a lot of good stuff.”

After looking at Di Jiu’s Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and Void Mountain, Nong Xiuqi nodded her head and put away the Black Lotus of World Destruction.

Di Qiushui took out a Quintessential World again and gave it to Nong Xiuqi. After putting a pile of items in it, he said, “I need to integrate my Dao as quickly as possible. When I succeed, I’ll take you to Earth to look for Wangchuan and Qiushui.”

“You can head to Earth?” Nong Xiuqi looked at Di Jiu in surprise.

He said with certainty, “Yes, I can. When my Dao is more integrated, I will be able to tear apart the Five-Element Universe and go to Earth to look for them.”
