<h4>Chapter 679: The ck Lotus</h4>


    There was ayer 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 Worldpletely prated it. With the force of the Ninth World, Di Jiu easily tore apart the Green Lotus’s istion force.


    Along with the vast heaven-opening aura, Di Jiu simultaneously obtained all sorts of cosmic information.


    Thanks to Di Jiu’s Nomological Qi Cirction, 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 bing the Red Lotus of Hellfire. The other one received the fireworks of the mortal world and turned gold, forming the Golden Lotus of Virtue. Thest one fell into the abyss and turned ck, forming the ck 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 ck 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 ck and a grade-twelve ck lotus flower started floating before him.


    Should he continue to refine it? Di Jiu looked at the grade-twelve ck lotus flower in front of him at a loss. The reason he was at a loss was not because he could not refine this lotus flower. With his strength, he couldpletely refine this ck lotus in his Ninth World.


    He had obtained two pieces of information and he continued to refine the ck lotus. He could allow this ck lotus to be a top-notch connate defensive and offensive Dharma treasure. However, only the Weapon Spirit of the ck lotus existed and it could no longer mature.


    If he did not refine the ck lotus, he could nt it.


    For someone else, nting the ck lotus would have been useless. The ck lotus did not even mature a bit after spending so long in the Void City. How could such a heaven-opening treasure be cultivated at will? However, Di Jiu was different, as he had the Ninth World. While he matured, the Ninth World would also grow. Maybe someday in the future, his ck Lotus of World Destruction could mature into something equivalent to a Green Lotus of Creation.


    He thought of Ji Hongsen, who could not do anything to him although his strength would still rise. Even thoughpletely refining the ck lotus could really increase his strength, Di Jiu still chose to nt the ck lotus in the Ninth World.


    There was already a Creation Wood in his Ninth World, so he did not care about having another ck lotus.


    After nting the ck lotus, Di Jiu imnted a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian under it and then picked up Ji Hongsen’s ring.


    Ji Hongsen’s ring was indeed a world. To be precise, a Quintessential World of a very high level. Even though Ji Hongsen had perished, Di Jiu spent half a month topletely break all the restrictions on Ji Hongsen’s ring.


    When Di Jiu saw the contents of the ring, he was really shocked. There were 23 supreme-grade divine spirit meridians and nearly 100 high-grade divine spirit meridians inside. As for the middle-grade and low-grade meridians, he supposed that Ji Hongsen simply had not fancied them, so he had not put any inside. The high-grade divine crystals were piled up like a mountain. Di Jiu scanned them briefly and saw that there were at least 10 billion of them.


    In a top-notch divine spirit herb garden, there were some divine spirit herbs that Di Jiu was envious of. Di Jiu had not seen the Dao fruit tree. He guessed that even though Ji Hongsen had the Dao fruit tree and the level of this world was good, he could not nt the Dao fruits just like he did in his Ninth World.


    Di Jiu had found a hundred drops of the 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence. All sorts of cksmithing materials, cultivation techniques, elixir pills, and Dharma treasures were piled like a mountain.


    Di Jiu wanted the Primordial Dao Fruit the most but only found seven.


    Still, the Primordial Dao Fruit was enough for him to be a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.


    Di Jiu was still sighing after transferring everything in Ji Hongsen’s ring to his own world. He was exhausted and he’d had some pretty good opportunities. However, what he had obtained did not even include an odd lot from Ji Hongsen. Where had this guy gotten so much good stuff?


    Di Jiu had not thought about it. How old was he? How many years had Ji Hongsen lived?


    Then, Di Jiu opened the rings of Guang Mingzi and Wu Luo. Wu Luo’s fame had been impressive, but the things in Guang Mingzi’s ring couldn’tpare to a corner of Ji Hongsen’s ring. In Guang Mingzi’s ring, Di Jiu found a lump of void life-force piths of a high level.


    After leaving the Ninth World, Di Jiu did not hesitate to imnt the two supreme-grade divine spirit meridians into the Spirit-Gathering Array before he threw a bunch of high-grade divine crystals and started entering reclusive cultivation.


    Despite these powerful cultivation resources, Di Jiu’s cultivation progress was still extremely slow. Fortunately, he had obtained a hundred drops of 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence this time, which provided great benefits to Primordial Chaos experts and even Dao Integration experts. The value of each drop was inestimable. In order to improve his cultivation level, he did not hesitate to swallow ten drops.


    Thanks to the ten drops of 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence, the rich and pure Heaven Earth Essence Energy wreaked havoc in Di Jiu’s Starry Sky meridian, coupled with the horrifying extent of the Nomological Qi Cirction sweeping the Divine Spirit Qi. As a result, his cultivation finally started to rise.


    Two yearster, Di Jiu hadpletely reached the mid-stage Primordial Dao and swallowed 20 more drops of the 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence. After three years, his cultivation reached thete-stage Primordial Dao.


    The high-grade divine crystals piled up beside Di Jiu werepletely 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 thete-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 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 n’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 firste to the Void City, Primordial Dao cultivators had been everywhere. However, he only saw one or two asionally 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 Jiuing 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.
