Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “There is no need. We’re exchanging things of the same level, so we don’t owe each other. Of course, you can tell me who harmed you. I hate this kind of garbage the most. If I meet her in the future, I’ll kill her on your behalf.”
Sacred Lord Green Lotus sighed. “I’m afraid you won’t be her match. She should have reached the third step and she must have the Green Lotus of Creation…”
She didn’t continue. She was sure that Di Jiu was definitely not Xing Xi’s match, so she would be harming him by saying so.
“Since you don’t want to tell me, I’m leaving. I’m going to the space between the two realms to look for the Two-Realm Flower. Of course, if you also need the Two-Realm Flower, I can take you there. I might as well tell you first that I have to find more than two pairs of Two-Realm Flowers in order for you to have your share.” Di Jiu knew that Sacred Lord Green Lotus was definitely not easy, but he didn’t want to waste time there.
Sacred Lord Green Lotus then said, “This was what I wanted to tell you. I know you are going to look for the Two-Realm Flower. Given your means to tear the realm, you won’t be able to go there.”
“Do you have a way?” Di Jiu asked in surprise.
He just hadn’t been able to tear up the boundary between the two realms before, so there had been no chance for him to go between the two realms. An ancient expert like Sacred Lord Green Lotus was a contemporary person in relation to Shang Huijue. Thus, she might have a way.
Sacred Lord Green Lotus answered, “I do have a way. However, I don’t even have a jade slip. Give me one and I’ll engrave it for you.”
Without hesitation, Di Jiu took out a ring and threw it to her. “The things inside are for you as long as you tell me the way to the space between the two realms.”
A gentle Dao rune force swept over, sweeping Di Jiu’s ring into the lotus seed. Then, Green Lotus said in pleasant surprise, “Di Jiu, thank you. You are a magnanimous cultivator. You’re more magnanimous than any of the cultivators I’ve met before.”
Not only was there a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian in the ring Di Jiu had given her, but there were also a few high-grade divine spirit meridians and a pile of high-grade divine crystals. In addition to those, there were also all kinds of Dao pills. This was why Sacred Lord Green Lotus had said that Di Jiu was a magnanimous cultivator.
Di Jiu waved his hand. “I happen to have more of these, so I’ll just help you.”
Di Jiu had not obtained his belongings easily. Once a person like Sacred Lord Green Lotus was born, they would be extraordinary. In this case, he did her a favor so that she might help him in the future. What was in the ring was dispensable to him, as the contents were life-saving treasures that Sacred Lord Green Lotus could use now.
“I’ve received too much help from you, so I won’t thank you anymore.” After saying that, Sacred Lord Green Lotus engraved a jade slip and threw it to Di Jiu.
His Spiritual Force landed on the jade slip and he was pleasantly surprised right away.
Some things were like paper windows. If they were punctured by others, one could see clearly. If Di Jiu did it himself, he was afraid it would take him many years. This required both strength and experience.
“There is not necessarily a Two-Realm Flower between the two realms. However, as long as you know this method, you will eventually be able to find this flower.” Sacred Lord Green Lotus’s voice reached Di Jiu’s ears in time.
After putting away the jade slip, Daoist Di asked with cupped fists, “Daoist Green Lotus, would you like to come with me to find the Two-Realm Flower?”
Sacred Lord Green Lotus replied, “Thank you for your Quintessential Essence of the Universe. This drop has satisfied me. My physical body will not be restored by the Two-Realm Flower but by my lotus seed.”
“In that case, I’ll be leaving.” Di Jiu couldn’t wait. At first, he hadn’t known how to tear the space between the two realms and had ended up wasting too much time and energy.
Sacred Lord Green Lotus said, “I wish you success. The person who plotted against me back then is called Xing Xi. Despite being beautiful, she’s extremely scheming. You have to be careful when you meet her.”
“Xing Xi?” Di Jiu asked in surprise.
Sacred Lord Green Lotus asked back in shock, “Do you know her, Di Jiu? That can’t be. She is ruthless and cunning. If she knows you have the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, she will certainly not let you off.”
Di Jiu chuckled. “You’re right. I really did meet her. In the end, I taught her a lesson. If she hadn’t fled quickly, I would have killed her.”
“That’s impossible…” Sacred Lord Green Lotus blurted out. Then, she realized that what she had said was somewhat arbitrary and she explained, “After Xing Xi secretly plotted against me, she snatched my Green Lotus of Creation, which you cannot hide from.”
Di Jiu faintly replied, “I don’t need to lie to you. This woman is indeed very greedy. She fancied my friend’s ancestral Dharma treasure and wanted to snatch it. However, I saw it and taught her a lesson. I’m sure she doesn’t have the Green Lotus of Creation, but she has the twelve-piece lotus blade flares, which is also good.”
“She doesn’t have the Green Lotus of Creation…” Sacred Lord Green Lotus mumbled this several times before she said, “I got it. Her Green Lotus of Creation should have been snatched by someone. If my guess is right, her cultivation level should be at the Primordial Chaos, right?”
This time, it was Di Jiu’s turn to be surprised. “Daoist Green Lotus, how did you know that?”
Sacred Lord Green Lotus replied with a sigh, “This woman is ruthless and knows how to pretend the best. Since she doesn’t have the Green Lotus of Creation, that means that someone snatched it away. In that case, that person naturally wouldn’t let her live. The Xing Xi that you met had very likely been reincarnated. Thus, her strength was greatly reduced. However, her strength can’t be too poor. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have escaped from you. Therefore, I guessed that she is at the Primordial Chaos Realm.”
Di Jiu sighed. The older, the wiser. It was no wonder that Xing Xi was so formidable. She was actually a reincarnated expert.
“In that case, we’ll meet again, Daoist Di.” Upon hearing that Xing Xi had been reincarnated, Sacred Lord Green Lotus was relieved. What she had been most worried about was not whether she could restore her physical body, but whether Xing Xi would sense the Chaos Green Lotus Aura when she restored her physical body. When that happened, she was afraid that she would find her right away. This was why, for so many years, she had been afraid to restore her physical body casually.
Di Jiu responded, “Daoist Green Lotus, Xing Xi snatched your Green Lotus of Creation. Will you kill her and take it back?”
Sacred Lord Green Lotus replied solemnly, “The person who killed Xing Xi let her reincarnate, which is considered part of my revenge. Unless the other party deserved to die, I wouldn’t do such a thing. There is so much good stuff besides a mere grade-12 Green Lotus in the vast universe.”
Di Jiu waved his hand. “That’s right. I didn’t save you for nothing. I admire people who can distinguish between gratitude and grudges.”
Sacred Lord Green Lotus smiled. “Besides, the Green Lotus of Creation is grade-36. Xing Xi only took the grade-12 one. The grade-24 Green Lotus of Creation is still lost in the vast universe, so I might be able to find it.”
“Alright.” Di Jiu once again cupped his fists. “In that case, we’ll meet again, Daoist Green Lotus.”
After he said that, Di Jiu raised his hand to tear the void again. Unlike last time, after he tore the void this time, there was a burst of violent blades and void dislocation auras in between the two realms. Di Jiu was overjoyed. It was indeed true. Without hesitation, he rushed into the space between the two realms and the plane he had torn was restored to its original state.
When Sacred Lord Green Lotus saw Di Jiu disappear, she sighed. “What an open and candid person.”
After she said that, the external Dao rune aura on the lotus seed disappeared completely. This gray lotus seed once again became similar to the surrounding stones. Since Di Jiu had said that Xing Xi had been reincarnated, she had to restore her physical body as quickly as possible. She could not wait until Xing Xi grew.
