Chapter 892 - Sacred Lord
Zuo Zhongren chuckled, lifted his hand, and created a restriction. Then, he said, “I only know that his surname is Ye. He possesses the strongest willpower I’ve ever seen. After the Creation War, any cultivators who came could enter the Creation Gate. In truth, almost everyone did enter, for the Creation Gate was where the Creation Dao runes resided. One could attain the Creation Realm only after entering the Creation Gate…”
Zuo Zhongren subconsciously crouched, looked in the direction of the Mountain Gaze, and said in a low voice, “Do you know that that person did not enter? He was actually very powerful.”
Di Jiu suddenly felt a cold chill run down his spine, so he immediately inquired, “Are you saying that this Ye guy is still alive and was not reincarnated by using the Creation Dao runes? Did he give up on attaining the Creation Realm and choose specifically to stay and overlord this area?”
This theory sounded very unbelievable, but this seemed to be what Zuo Zhongren was implying.
Zuo Zhongren sighed and nodded his head. “That’s right. Think about it. That person had already attained the third step and was an Integration Realm expert. Who would dare to disrespect him if he stayed here? I did not have a choice in this matter, for I am akin to a dog in front of him. Why shouldn’t I seize the opportunity to fight for my freedom? If I failed, I would rather be reincarnated than continue to suffer.”
Di Jiu’s impression of Zuo Zhongren was that he was very cunning. Unexpectedly, the latter was also a prideful man. This fact changed Di Jiu’s opinion of the man slightly.
“Then hasn’t he attained the Creation Realm already?” Di Jiu was worried. After all, that man had originally been an expert, so it was possible for him to attain the Creation Realm if he relied on the Creation Aura in the Dao Abyss.
Zuo Zhongren shook his head. “No, for it is said that the Five-Element Universe does not allow any Creation Realm existences. One must leave the Five-Element Universe once they attain the Creation Realm. The year when the Creation Gate opened, all cultivators above the Dao Integration Realm, and even some Primordial Chaos cultivators, swarmed to enter the Creation Gate. In truth, even if the Dao Integration cultivators had not entered the gate, the Creation Dao runes would still have swept them in without fail.”
“Then why did that Ye guy…” Di Jiu immediately spotted the loophole in Zuo Zhongren’s explanation.
Zuo Zhongren’s voice turned despondent. “This is where the problem lies. When that Ye guy first appeared, we immediately knew that he was an expert with a flawless body. He had not been reincarnated from a remnant soul. More importantly, many people recognized him and were aware of how powerful and ruthless he was. He had entered the Creation Gate with the exception experts, yet when he came out, no one witnessed his death or saw him sustain any injuries.”
Zuo Zhongren pointed at a narrow path. “No one knows what that fella is called, but his nickname is Mercury. They call him Mercury because he is impermeable.”
This showed Di Jiu that Zuo Zhongren did not quite trust him.
Zuo Zhongren knew what Di Jiu was thinking, so he smiled and explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it might take us many years to find the way out by ourselves. It will only take us at most three days to leave the Dao Abyss if we work with Mercury. Mercury replied to me and said that we should wait half a day more. He can leave after taking care of everything.”
“Alright, I’ll wait half a day more.” Upon saying that, Di Jiu created a restriction and called Chu Manhe out. Then, he handed a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus to her.
“You really obtained a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus?” Chu Manhe stuttered a little as she hugged the lotus excitedly.
Di Jiu nodded. “Try your best to recuperate. We will be leaving this place in half a day.”
Upon saying that, Di Jiu created another restriction and took out Ye Yimo’s thunder pearl. Then, he put a lotus inside as well.
He believed that Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe would need at most four hours to recover. Then, Mercury would arrive and everyone would be able to leave the Dao Abyss together.
