Chapter 679 - The Black Lotus
There was a layer of force outside the Green Lotus that blocked any infiltration as if it was a realm. Di Jiu was sure that if it had not been in his Ninth World, he really would have had a hard time refining the Green Lotus and it might have run away before he’d managed to do so.
Now that it was in his Ninth World, Di Jiu would not be polite at all. The Ninth World completely penetrated it. With the force of the Ninth World, Di Jiu easily tore apart the Green Lotus’s isolation force.
Along with the vast heaven-opening aura, Di Jiu simultaneously obtained all sorts of cosmic information.
Thanks to Di Jiu’s Nomological Qi Circulation, he refined the restrictions. When he obtained information on the Chaos Green Lotus, he was stunned.
After the universe was created, four lotus seeds of creation appeared at the same time in this vastness. One of the lotus seeds absorbed the cosmic-opening aura. After being washed by the endless creation aura, a Green Lotus of Creation was formed and then hidden in the vast universe.
The remaining three creation lotus seeds were not that lucky. They were just like any other treasure instead. After the universe was created, they were born before all living things, forming three connate green lotuses.
However, these three connate lotus flowers were attacked by all sorts of auras. One of the flowers was incorporated into the blood river and turned red, thus becoming the Red Lotus of Hellfire. The other one received the fireworks of the mortal world and turned gold, forming the Golden Lotus of Virtue. The last one fell into the abyss and turned black, forming the Black Lotus of World Destruction.
All the lotuses were inferior to the Green Lotus of Creation when it came to fate. As a result, a huge gap was formed.
What left Di Jiu speechless was that the green lotus he had obtained was the Black Lotus of World Destruction and the one with the worst fate. However, wasn’t the refined lotus in his hand obviously green?
Di Jiu had just thought of this when the green lotus flower in his hand turned black and a grade-twelve black lotus flower started floating before him.
The high-grade divine crystals piled up beside Di Jiu were completely consumed along with two supreme-grade divine spirit meridians.
Di Jiu stopped cultivating, feeling perfectly satisfied. If he consumed all the remaining dozens of drops of 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence, he supposed that he could even attain the half-step Primordial Chaos Realm.
Since he had reached the late-stage Primordial Dao, there was nothing he was afraid of. Even if he had to enter seclusion, he need not do it on a barren planet in the void.
He could return to the Void City now, lest Ding Chi and Lightning got worried after waiting for so long.
…
In less than a month, Di Jiu once again arrived at the entrance of the Void City.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed since he’d chased after the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun and left the Void City before returning. During his cultivation, time was really worthless.
After stepping into the Void City, Di Jiu was perplexed to find out that many experts seemed to be missing. He remembered that when he had first come to the Void City, Primordial Dao cultivators had been everywhere. However, he only saw one or two occasionally now. Although there were many people there, most of them were first-step Dao Validation cultivators.
Theoretically, the Dao Fruit Pagoda was about to start, so there should be more experts around. Why were there fewer Primordial Dao cultivators? Furthermore, he had yet to see any Primordial Chaos experts.
Di Jiu arrived outside the Divine Phoenix Inn after taking a few steps. What made Di Jiu feel relieved was that he sensed Lightning’s aura as soon as he arrived. Lightning was still there, which meant that nothing had happened. He had guessed correctly. As long as he did not show up, Fan Yuan would not do anything to Tang Xitan.
“Brother Di…” Upon seeing Di Jiu coming in, Ding Chi went over excitedly. He had made great progress recently and was approaching the mid-stage Dao Transformation.
Lightning followed him, pouncing over excitedly. Its cultivation had not risen much.
“Brother Ding, is Senior Sister Tang Xitan back?” The first thing Di Jiu asked about was naturally Tang Xitan. Logically speaking, since Wu Luo and Ji Hongsen had been killed by him, Tang Xitan should be fine.
