Chapter 128 : Six Dao Lotuses (2)
“Haha, treasure of the gods? If there really is a treasure of the gods, it wouldn’t be their turn to get it.”
Li Qi Ye sneered and said.
Li Shuang Yan glanced at him and asked:
“What is it then?”
Obviously, Li Qi Ye knew the Evil Infested Ridge very well.
“The god of death…”
Li Qi Ye’s eyes narrowed, then he continued:
“The god of death has been hungry for millions of years. Finally, it can no longer tolerate it.”
Whenever Li Qi Ye squinted his eyes like this, Li Shuang Yan couldn’t help but shiver. She understood that this matter was much more terrifying than her imagination.
“We’re going.”
Li Qi Ye commanded Niu Fen.
“Young Noble, where to?”
Niu Fen never questioned Li Qi Ye’s commands; he immediately obeyed.
“Back to the Cassia Lotus Tree.”
Li Qi Ye continued:
“Those bags of straw are only going to their deaths, to become delicious nutrients. There is no way they will be able to suppress that devilish thing!”
Li Qi Ye rode the snail back to the Cassia Lotus Tree. Seeing his return, the group of Gu Tie Shou couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Gu Tie Shou asked:
“What happened over there?”
Even though he didn’t allow the disciples to leave this peaceful ground, he still saw the bloody light up in the sky.
“A disaster.”
Li Qi Ye jumped down from Niu Fen and told Gu Tie Shou:
“Elder Gu, if there are still disciples outside, tell them to return immediately. All disciples, from now on, are not allowed to leave outside of this tree for more than ten zhang.”
“I have recalled all of them. I will tell them and not allow them to leave.”
Seeing his solemn demeanor, Gu Tie Shou hurriedly responded.
When the bloody light lit up the eastern sky, Gu Tie Shou didn’t know whether it was an auspicious or ominous sign, so he immediately recalled all of the disciples in order to avoid any unexpected events. In reality, after the light appeared, Gu Tie Shou was always waiting for Li Qi Ye to come back. Without Li Qi Ye, he — as the first elder — was anxious and even a bit afraid. Right now, Li Qi Ye had unknowingly become the foundation of the CLeansing Incense Ancient Sect. They had complete confidence in Li Qi Ye’s strategies. On the contrary, without his presence, they became uncertain.
While Gu Tie Shou was conveying his command to the others, Li Qi Ye approached the Cassia Lotus Tree. Before it, he sat down on the ground and clasped his hands together to form a cross. Then, he silently prayed to communicate his intention:
“That year, I joined forces with you and slayed the evil existence. You already know that this existence didn’t die. I had planted a seed here in preparation for the future, in order to stop the evil existence from being reborn…”[1]
“Now, as you are already aware, my preparation that I had left behind that year was destroyed. And now, the evil existence has a chance to be revived. For the Evil Infested Ridge, I will personally go once again. If you won’t go, I will not force this matter. However, I will need the lotus bones and holy water to create a formation to exterminate the reviving evil existence…”
Li Qi Ye sat on the ground and silently prayed to the Cassia Lotus Tree.
This was not the first time the group of Li Shuang Yan saw Li Qi Ye with such an appearance. At this moment, they knew that the tree in front of them had its own awareness. As for why Li Qi Ye referred to it as the Cassia Lotus Tree, they did not know.[2]
Under the intercession of Li Qi Ye, from above, a new branch was silently and slowly born. Then, many new extraordinary branches suddenly began to extrude from the tree.
The branches coming out of the tree’s body was about as big as an arm, but they was white as snow. At a first glance, they appeared to be white bones that were as glossy as white jades. Each of these white bony branches not only caused others to be fearful, but also another inexplicable feelings, as if there were the sounds of the grand dao emancipating from within.
The sudden appearance of the white jade branches on the tree’s body caused Li Shuang Yan and Tu Bu Yu to be dumbfounded. This giant Cassia Lotus Tree really had its own conscience.
When their mouths were still wide open, these branches begin to give birth to many blossoming buds. Then, they were suddenly in full bloom. At this moment, everyone clearly saw that these buds were lotus flowers with six petals; each lotus flower was as big as a hat.
When all of these lotuses were in full bloom, all of the people present felt as if their souls were leaving their bodies — they were completely at ease. In this moment in time, they felt that the lotuses in full bloom were resonating with their grand dao. The one who felt it the most was Li Shuang Yan, who had a natural born Pure Crystal Physique and cultivated the Void Imperfection Physique.
At this moment, Li Shuang Yan’s entire body was like a holy lotus, blooming. In a flash, her immortal brilliances thrusted up to the sky and the music of the grand dao began to play. They were very gentle, but these gentle and faint sounds, in the ears of others, carried the sensation of the godly bells, causing their hearts to beat faster.
Right now, Li Shuang Yan seemed to be a banished fairy from the heavens, descending on this mortal world — supreme and peerless. She was impervious to all universal laws and untainted by all existences; she was pure without any trace of defects, like a True Immortal in the legends.
Seeing Li Shuang Yan’s appearance, everyone became touched. Even Li Shuang Yan was emotional because she could feel that her Void Imperfection Physique greatly benefited from these lotuses in full bloom. It was as if they were tailored just for her physique.
“What are these things? Why are they such a match for my physique?”
Li Shuang Yan was surprised. If the world had lotuses like these, she would definitely accumulate them around her in order to grow her Void Imperfection Physique.
“Six Dao Lotus — stainless without defects, heavenly supreme, and sacredly unparalleled. Naturally, it would be perfect with your Void Imperfection Physique.”
