Chapter 226

Furthermore, the wording limiting it to the Ninth Grade Realm is quite subtle. Does this mean that after she advances to the Divine Venerable Realm, she will no longer be able to collect resources?

Speaking of which, this Lotus Domain is quite strange.

For both the Flower of Evil and Lianxin to return, they must both reach the Ninth Grade Realm.

But outsiders... like the old pavilion master back then and her now, one is at the Eighth Grade Realm and the other at the Seventh Grade Realm, and they can also come in.

Of course, they couldn't come in alone; they came in following the Lotus Leaf, petals, and Lianxin.

What was the old pavilion master's situation back then?

She was unaware of the details.

It's likely that it has developed some kind of symbiotic relationship with the Lotus Leaf.

At this moment, the information given by Sister Longevity was that Li Yang, who was at the Ninth Grade Realm, could come and pick the Sacred Heart Leaf.

What about Sacred Heart Flower and lotus seeds?

Li Yang recalled that when she was in the Evil Domain, she had collected the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower planted by the Flower of Flower of Evil, which greatly increased her lifespan limit.

What about the Sacred Heart Leaf, Sacred Heart Flower, and lotus seeds here?

It's definitely of much higher quality than the Blossom of Flower of Evil!

If she could harvest it, wouldn't that greatly increase her lifespan limit?

Li Yang's current problem is not the lifespan of the collection, but that she is constantly being stuck at the limit.

At this rate, even if she advances to the Ninth Grade, her lifespan is estimated to be only five or six million years.

Five or six million years is simply too insecure for Li Yang.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the consumption of lifespan. Ideally, one should be like Brother Shock Brother Malice, with no storage limit.

Of course, these are all things for later. Li Yang is currently only at the Seventh Grade Realm and can't do anything yet.

As she walked, the Flower of Evil muttered, "This place is too far. If it were at my house, I could get to Lianxin in no time... But now, walking is so annoying!"

The Lotus Leaf were too large, and they couldn't use any Star Skill, so they could only walk over step by step.

Li Yang didn't find it annoying or tiring.

She was quite worried about Lianxin's condition and kept a close eye on her.

However, Lianxin is actually in pretty good condition. Before, he couldn't even speak a single sentence clearly, but now he can speak long passages clearly and distinctly.

Moreover, his steps were light, showing no signs of fatigue or weariness, only eagerness.

When Li Yang thought about how he had been wandering for 900,000 years, she felt a pang of sadness and unconsciously took his hand in hers.

Lianxin: "!"

Li Yang: "!"

The Flower of Evil said disdainfully, "What are you two doing? Holding hands only makes you walk slower!"

Li Yang coughed lightly and said, "I was worried you weren't feeling well."

A faint blush appeared on the tips of Lianxin's bright white ears as she softly said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm alright."

As soon as Li Yang let go, Lianxin grabbed her hand in return.

Li Yang blinked and looked up at him.

Lianxin's ears turned even redder, and he quickly let go. His pale lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Let me hold your hand; it will put my mind at ease."

Lianxin: "!"

Suddenly, Li Yang's hand was gripped tightly.

This time, the temperature of their hands was completely different: Lianxin's hands looked cool, but were actually burning hot; Flower of Evil's hands, however, were icy cold, like a piece of hard, cold jade.

Li Yang looked up at him. "What?"

Flower of Evil: "To put your mind at ease!"

Li Yang: "..."

The Flower of Evil snorted coldly and said, "It was also my Divine Venerable that made me forget that you, a Seventh Grade Realm, would feel panicked after arriving in this mysterious Lotus Domain."

Li Yang rolled her eyes and whispered, "Let go."

Flower of Evil: "No."

Li Yang raised an eyebrow.

Flower of Evil: "..." So annoying.

He released Li Yang's hand, took a long stride, and in the blink of an eye, he had walked dozens of meters away.

His commotion had restored the tips of Lianxin's ears to their original snow-white color. He said, "Fellow Daoist, the petals are just ahead; we're almost there."

Li Yang was delighted and looked closely; she could indeed see faint glimpses of snow-white.

She quickly said, "Let's go! Let's get you the lotus seeds quickly so you can recover."

Lianxin softly responded, "Mmm."

They quickened their pace and soon caught up with the Flower of Evil ahead.

The Flower of Evil initially moved a few steps faster, but slowed down after it gained some distance.

Although he didn't turn around, he kept a close eye on the person and the lotus behind him.

When they caught up, he quickened his pace, as if he wanted to leave them behind.

Li Yang was too lazy to argue with him, and even less inclined to coax him.

I don't even know what I'm thinking every day.

Anyway, as a human, she couldn't possibly understand the thought process of a flower.

Finally reaching the petals, the Flower of Evil glanced at him wistfully, but did not stop, continuing to walk further in.

Li Yang asked, "Aren't you going home?"

The Flower of Evil retorted irritably, "Why go back? There's no Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower here!"

Li Yang asked in surprise, "Why not? Aren't these all...?"

Flower of Evil: "These aren't ripe yet; picking them now would be a complete waste."

Looking at the petals in front of her, Li Yang couldn't tell whether they were ripe or not.

However, the Flower of Evil had no reason to lie to her.

If they were ripe, he would probably be even more eager than she was and would have already plucked all those Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.

The Flower of Evil felt a renewed sense of doubt and muttered to itself, "How strange, does it really take this long to grow? Why isn't it ripe yet..."

The Flower of Evil ascended to the Ninth-Grade Supreme, a very long time ago.

It would take at least tens of thousands of years.

Li Yang said, "You and Lianxin are both over 900,000 years old. These Sacred Heart Flower in the Lotus Domain haven't been specially cultivated, so it's normal that they mature a little slower, right?"

"Maybe..." The Flower of Evil said nothing more, then said, "Let's go. Lianxin must have a lot of lotus seeds at home, after all, he hasn't come back."

Once you reach the petals, you'll be very close to the Lianxin.

They had only walked for a short while when the view suddenly opened up before them.

The leaves and petals instantly receded from them, as if on the distant horizon, only faint glimpses of light visible.

Before me stood a massive, emerald-green castle.

Let's call it a castle for now.

Li Yang couldn't think of any other words.

"This is..."

Lianxin said in a light tone, "Fellow Daoist, come with me."

Li Yang: "..." I never expected that Lianlian was actually a "prince" with a huge castle in the Lotus Domain.

The Flower of Evil curled her lip and said, "He's the only one living well in the entire Lotus Domain. Mother is so biased."

After saying this, his expression changed, but he quickly frowned and said, "Strange, why is there no response even to this?"

At this moment, Li Yang and Lianxin had already approached the huge castle and did not hear what he was saying.

Chapter 226

The Flower of Evil followed him inside, filled with doubt; this was also his first time visiting Lianxin's home.

The memories from 900,000 years ago are very vague. At that time, the Flower of Evil of Evil never left the petal area. At most, it could only see the emerald castle standing in the core of the Lotus Domain from afar, as well as the endless emerald Lotus Leaf on the other side.

At that time, the Flower of Evil of Evil only saw green on both sides, and felt that she was the only one who was different!

After wandering and hardship, he returned to the Lotus Domain and realized that what truly set him apart was his Pure Lianxin.

By then, the Flower of Evil of Evil had already acquired many vices in the Astral Realm. He wanted to gather the Lotus Leaf of the Ninth Grade Lotus and also wanted to steal the Ninth Grade Lotus Seed...

However, he was helpless against the hard, Ninth Grade Lotus Leaf, and could not even enter the green castle that had lost its owner.

Now that he's with Lianxin, he can go inside.

With Li Yang around, he probably wouldn't dare touch even half a lotus seed.

Li Yang could feel Lianxin's joy, and her mood improved as well.

At least it helped Lianxin get rid of the Heart Worm, which put her mind at ease.

Approaching the emerald castle, Li Yang discovered that it had no door.

There was also a faint barrier around the castle; if Lianxin weren't there, probably no one could get in.

This made Li Yang feel somewhat at ease.

The barrier wasn't destroyed, so the lotus seeds inside must be fine too.

The current situation in the Lotus Domain is somewhat strange, especially the sound she heard when she first entered—exhausted and weak.

Li Yang only hoped to obtain a suitable amount of lotus seeds, enough for Lianlian to counteract the fragments of the God King of Time within her body.

When she first signed the contract, her heart was filled with thoughts of the Ninth Grade sacred artifact.

Now that she had truly arrived in the Lotus Domain and was about to step into Lianxin's home, she no longer cared whether she could obtain the lotus seeds.

Lianxin extended her hand to her. "Fellow Daoist, I'll take you inside."

Li Yang grasped his hand generously, which made Lianxin's curled eyelashes tremble.

Li Yang wondered: Lianlian looked as cold and aloof as ice and snow, but her palms were warm.

She didn't dislike it; in fact, she found it quite comfortable.

Flower of Evil: "What about me? What about me? Don't leave me outside!"

Li Yang paused.

The Flower of Evil noticed her hesitation and immediately strode towards her, taking her other hand in his.

Li Yang looked up at him. "You don't need to go in, do you? Stay outside..."

Lianxin's voice was indifferent, but she still said, "Let's go together. If there are any problems, you can help."

The Flower of Evil pinched Li Yang's hand hard and said, "Did you hear that? I'm important. I am the... cough, the Supreme of Evil."

He had intended to say that he was the Divine Venerable of Evil, but then he remembered that he had temporarily relinquished his authority and was now only Ninth Grade- rank official.

Even Ninth Grade is far superior to these two.

Li Yang was instead reminded by the Flower of Evil.

Since he is not currently at the Divine Venerable Realm, even if she uses the Malice Subsystem, she can only advance to the Ninth Grade.

If it's Ninth Grade...

Can the outer Lotus Leaf be collected as well?
