Chapter 901: Killing Xing Xi

Xing Xi froze. She had thought that she could kill Di Jiu. However, given Di Jiu’s power, how could she even achieve that?

In an instant, Xing Xi awakened. Her twelve-piece lotus flower blade flares turned into an illusory blade flare that exploded. Then, it struck the saber screen of Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A violent Divine Essence and Dao runes exploded in the air. Xing Xi opened her mouth to spit an arrow of blood out and took dozens of steps back before she stared at Di Jiu, feeling shocked.

She was sure that Di Jiu had successfully completed the Dao Integration. Otherwise, he couldn’t have withstood her twelve-piece lotus flower blade flares. What shocked her was that Di Jiu was this powerful after attaining the Dao Integration. He could simply crush her, so she could not even think of crushing him. She was a mid-stage Dao Integration expert who had attained the Dao Integration after being reborn.

Di Jiu was just as shocked. He had killed more than one third-step expert, but Xing Xi was at the mid-stage Dao Integration at the very most. How come she was so powerful at the mid-stage Dao Integration?

However, Di Jiu didn’t hesitate. He drew the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and wrote the vast word ‘realm’ in the void.

This word could break tens of thousands of Dao, and this realm was drawn with Yin and Yang!

She stretched out her domain, only to find out that it had turned into nothing thanks to the ‘realm’ word. She found out in shock that the space she was in had been bound by Di Jiu’s word.

A moment later, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber once again swept over with the Saber Dao divine power.

Space and time stagnated at that moment. Only a saber flare advanced in the entire universe. Di Jiu’s scalp went numb. Ever since he had set up his own laws, it was the first time he’d executed the Crevice Traverse Saber Move that had been set up with his laws. He had yet to attain a thorough understanding of the time law, but this saber move had been dissociated from the Five-Element Universe.

Was this the time law divine power? Xing Xi had immediately sensed it. As the previous owner of the Green Lotus, she was very familiar with the time law divine power.

Di Jiu was indeed stronger than her, but he could only dream of using the time law divine power to constrain her.

Dao rune aura swept up around Xing Xi. She was sure that, thanks to her Dao runes, any time law divine power would dissipate. Space was still space, and time was still time after all.

At that moment, Xing Xi planned to escape first. She was sure that she was not Di Jiu’s match, probably because her Dao had yet to be integrated completely. As long as she broke free from Di Jiu’s time law divine power, she would immediately blast Di Jiu’s ‘realm’ word into pieces and escape.

Bam! When the law of Xing Xi’s Dao runes clashed with the Dao runes of Di Jiu’s Crevice Traverse divine power, everything really stopped and the void of the universe slowed down. At the same time, Di Jiu’s ‘realm’ word became clearer.

Xing Xi broke out in cold sweat. No, this was not right. Her cold sweat was actually almost still at that moment. However, her consciousness could still move.

This was definitely a time law divine power that surpassed the Five-Element Universe. Di Jiu was just someone with better opportunities. How could he have known that only when he gained insight into the Heaven Earth Law that surpassed the Five-Element Universe he would truly be able to rush out of the Five-Element Universe?

She could gain insight because she had stood on the peak of the Five-Element Universe in the past and even come into contact with the Creation Realm…

Sacred Lord Green Lotus, who was watching from afar, was appalled. In fact, Xing Xi had once stood at a height no lower than she had. Di Jiu had executed the time law divine power. Xing Xi could see that, and so could she.

Xing Xi had sensed that Di Jiu’s time law divine power surpassed the laws of the Five-Element Universe, and so had she. She was also the owner of a Creation Dharma treasure. Sacred Lord Green Lotus knew very well that, to surpass the Five-Element Universe, one needed to surpass the Heaven Earth Law in the Five-Element Universe. Knowing that was one thing. However, doing it was hard. Only a person like her would be aware of that.

Di Jiu’s time law divine power had clearly surpassed the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe. However, how had he managed to achieve that?

When the Heavenly Aqua Saber tore the space between Xing Xi’s eyebrows, Xing Xi was suddenly shocked and her figure twisted.

Di Jiu looked at Xing Xi in amazement. Although his Nomological Dao had yet to be completely formed, the Crevice Traverse Saber Move was definitely the best he could do at the moment.

Xing Xi had managed to break free just as she had been about to be torn by his saber move. This woman was truly terrifying.

“Pfft!” The Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on the area between Xing Xi’s eyebrows. Xing Xi stared at Di Jiu with her eyes full of hatred before her body collapsed and dissipated.

As Di Jiu held onto his Heavenly Aqua Saber, he was stunned.

This was not right. In fact, Xing Xi had escaped upon breaking free from his divine power. At the very most, one of her arms should have been slashed. She absolutely shouldn’t have struggled and allowed his Heavenly Aqua Saber to slash the area between her eyebrows.

This was not what puzzled Di Jiu the most. After Xing Xi was killed by him, her Principal Spirit did not even overflow. It just disintegrated.

“Daoist Di, do you also find this strange? Xing Xi could absolutely escape. However, she did not, and even her Principal Spirit did not overflow,” Sacred Lord Green Lotus suddenly said.

Di Jiu raised his hand to grab that guqin before he looked at Sacred Lord Green Lotus apologetically and said, “Daoist Green Lotus, this woman killed my friend and snatched the Chaotic Wooden Zither. I couldn’t hold back my killing intent for a moment and I ended up slaying her.”

Xing Xi had plotted against Sacred Lord Green Lotus to perfect her own Dao. If Xing Xi had still been alive, she would have killed her with her own hands. Since Di Jiu had killed Xing Xi, he naturally had to apologize to her.

Sacred Lord Green Lotus shook her head. “I’m not bothered by this. Actually, Xing Xi could escape, but she let you kill her on purpose.”

Although Di Jiu had seen the world and had gone to countless places in the void of the universe, this was the first time he was hearing this from Sacred Lord Green Lotus. Who would not want to live anymore and allow someone else to kill them on purpose?

Sacred Lord Green Lotus sighed and explained, “The Green Lotus of Creation was one of the five Creation treasures when the universe first separated. Among those treasures, the Dao runes of the Green Lotus had something incomparable: They could be reborn. Actually, very long ago, after the physical bodies of many people perished, they used the grade-nine divine lotus and the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus to model their physical bodies.

“The Green Lotus of Creation was produced in an epoch-making manner. How could it only be used to restore the physical body? As long as a cultivator cultivated the Green Lotus Dao and reached the third step, they would get two chances to be reborn. Such a chance was not simply about being reborn, as one would also have a better Dao foundation. After Xing Xi broke free from your time law divine power, she let you kill her so that she could be reborn. This rebirth is also her last chance to live. She will get stronger after her rebirth, so when you meet this woman again, you’ll have to be careful.”

Shocked, Di Jiu couldn’t help but say, “What a ruthless woman.”

He finally understood why Xing Xi had wanted to break free from his time law divine power and get killed by him. She wanted to have a chance to be reincarnated.

Sacred Lord Green Lotus shook her head. “If she hadn’t seen me, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have made this decision. After she saw me, she wanted to beat me so she had to be reincarnated again. When she is reborn for the second time through reincarnation, her Dao corners will be completely smoothened and her Dao will be blunt. This is the highest level of the Green Lotus Dao.”

Di Jiu could not take Xing Xi seriously. So what if Xing Xi had been reborn again and had a more perfected Dao? Wouldn’t he, who kept improving continuously, not be as good as someone who’d started from square one?

Upon seeing that Di Jiu did not mind, Sacred Lord Green Lotus did not say anything. She had seen his attacks, and he was one of the strongest experts she had ever met. Even though this was Xing Xi’s last rebirth through reincarnation, she might not necessarily do anything to Di Jiu. Instead, she needed to be careful. She had used the Green Lotus Dao to be reborn. Although Sacred Lord Green Lotus had a drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe that Di Jiu had given her, she had to attain the Dao Integration and perfect her Green Lotus Dao as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would perish in Xing Xi’s hands.

“Daoist Di, I need to find a place to attain the Dao Integration. We’ll part ways here.” Sacred Lord Green Lotus cupped her fists before Di Jiu. She had just come out after perfecting her physical body and had not spent much time doing that.

After hesitating for a while, Di Jiu said, “Daoist Green Lotus, if you want to attain the Dao Integration, I know a place. However, it’s probably very, very hard to come out after entering it.”

Upon hearing that, Sacred Lord Green Lotus immediately said, “Please tell me about it, Daoist Di.”

“It’s the Dao Abyss of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. There is a pathway that leads to the Mountain Gaze in the Dao Abyss. There are many Creation Dao Rune Lakes on the Mountain Gaze, so it’s the best place for Dao Validation. However, it’s very hard to come out after entering it. Right now, there are many third-step experts trapped inside,” Di Jiu said honestly.

Sacred Lord Green Lotus thanked him. “Thank you for telling me, Daoist Di. I’ll go there right away.”

After she finished saying that, she extended her figure and disappeared. She did not even ask Di Jiu where the Mountain Gaze was. To someone like her, the Dao was everywhere. The Mountain Gaze that Di Jiu had mentioned was definitely located somewhere specific. However, she knew very well that the Mountain Gaze was where the Creation Dao Runes were found. Only the Mountain Gaze that she sensed was the real one. This was why she didn’t ask Di Jiu about it.

Di Jiu was silent as he watched Sacred Lord Green Lotus disappear. He knew very well that Sacred Lord Green Lotus had to validate the strongest Dao. Otherwise, it would be meaningless if she lived and she would still be killed by Xing Xi eventually.
