Chapter 340: The Lotus of the Nine Heavens


The following days were spent in peace and quiet. Although Bai Rouyun was eager to cultivate and get stronger, she also understood that she had to take the time she needed to relax her mind and enjoy her life.


The various adopted children and the pair of parents would move around in the Forgotten City and look for different treasures and tasty snacks, while talking about the past events and experiences. Even if only a few years had passed in the outside world, many things had still happened, andw ith their care for one another, they wanted to share everything.


However, such peaceful and tranquil days could not continue for long, and as Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun were about to plan their future, a guard dressed in black suddenly appeared in front of them.


"Master!" The black-clothed guard quickly fell to his knee in front of Li Moyun and cupped his fists in greeting. This black-clothed guard was a subordinate that Li Moyun had gotten from the Golden Dragon Clan, and while he did not have time to fully test his loyalty, he did not reject this subordinate either.


"What is the matter?" Li Moyun could not help but feel slightly puzzled, as he looked at the subordinate in front of him. While he did not fully trust this black-clothed guard, there had never been any mistakes, and he would, under ordinary circumstances, never appear like this without being called for.


"We have gotten a piece of valuable information from the Lingcao Pavilion Lord that needs to be handed over as soon as possible." The guard did not hesitate to answer. He also understood that Li Moyun's care for Bai Rouyun was not superficial, so he did not hide the information either.


Such actions made Li Moyun approve more, as he understood that many might see Bai Rouyun as a beloved accessory and not an equal partner. Knowing that his subordinates understood her importance to him was able to make him approve more.


"Do tell." Li Moyun could not help but furrow his brows as he listened to the young man's words. Both he and Bai Rouyun had previously discussed the doubts about Sun Junmeng's identity, but had still not found any leads to the truth, so they had kept it aside, but seeing that even information was being sent to them now, it was clear that the Celestial Immortal had no qualms about letting them know his involvment. Sun Junmeng would never share information without permission, no matter how little importance it had.


"Growing from mud, but remains untainted; pure and elegant - unspoiled by the dirt from the ground. Rising above the flowing waters; never polluted by the rivers of sin.


"Day by day bringing sorrow and joy; the deity blooms at the break of dawn, yet resubmerge as the twilight arrives. In the eternal balance of yin and yang, the blooming lotus remains pure."


Li Moyun's brows could not help but furrow as he listened to the black-clothed guard's words. Although the guard and Bai Rouyun were unaware of the origin of this so-called blooming lotus, Li Moyun knew very well what these sentences would bring of chaos to the Wushi Continent.


"I understand. Thank you for informing me, you can withdraw." Li Moyun was much stronger than the subordinates he had by his side, and when he asked them to withdraw, none of them had any intention of trying to eavesdrop on his conversations.


As soon as he had ensured that everyone had left, Li Moyun turned around and took Bai Rouyun's hands into his own while leading her to the chairs to sit down.


"Those words, do they contain a profound meaning?" Bai Rouyun was not a silly little white flower with no understanding of the current world, so as soon as she noticed her husband's changing expression, she knew that something was wrong.


Li Moyun did not answer right away, and Bai Rouyun did not rush him. His brows were furrowed and he seemed to be deep in thought.


"The Lotus of the Nine Heavens is known to be the most pure and pristine spiritual herb that exists. It is created by the Dao itself, and it is untainted by the mortal world.


"The Lotus of the Nine Heavens is an eternal existence, but, as the guard said, it will bloom at certain times throughout history; each time with unprecedented consequences.


"It is not possible to take the lotus for one's own use, and picking it will result in instant demise, even the soul will be shattered and dissipate, but accompanying its day of blossoming is nine lotus seeds.


"These nine lotus seeds will not grow into a new Lotus of the Nine Heavens, but can still become Celestial Lotus Herbs, or if consumed right as they have been picked, they can also completely remold one's body to become quintessential."


Li Moyun was aware of the temptation these seeds held to the deities in the Godly Domain. Although the residents were immortals, the only requirement for being considered an immortal was when it no longer was possible for the lifespan to run out.


However, as a person who had been in the Godly Domain, Li Moyun was perfectly well aware that even amongst the gods, there were countless ranks and paths to take.


Many that had arrived in the Godly Domain had assumed that when they became immortal, their futures would be guaranteed, so they were willing to consume countless pills or rely on various resources, even if it would leave behind certain hidden dangers.


Then, upon entering the Godly Domain, they found that they still needed to keep climbing, and they easily succumbed to despair. It was especially these deities that were eager to get their hands on the seeds from the Lotus of the Nine Heavens.
