"Yes." Jing Huan nodded. "If you're bitten, you'll lose your life. It looks small, but many of our fellow disciples have died under their mouths, so we mustn't be careless. Tiannan is like this. You must be careful around. A blade of grass or a tiny bug can take your life."
Chu Li put away the two halves of the bug. It was warm to the touch yet cold. Ice and fire seemed to have fused into one. It was like ice yet not ice, fire yet not fire. It was indeed mysterious. No wonder it was a precious material for practicing swordsmanship.
The journey was smooth. When they arrived at the Golden Pool, they saw nine lotuses floating on the surface of the pool. Nine young men were sitting on the lotuses. They were the nine monks who were killed back then.
Chu Li's Omniscient Mystical Void Mirror scanned through their bodies. Although their bodies were indistinct like shadows and seemed unreal, the Omniscient Mystical Void Mirror could see that they had returned to normal. Their broken heads were still intact as if they had never been broken.
He couldn't help but sigh at the mysteriousness of this Golden Pool. It was only slightly inferior to his Withering Tree.
Jing Huan saw the nine monks and sighed in relief.
"Senior Brother Jing Huan, will there be an accident?" Chu Li asked.
Jing Huan said, "Who knows? There will always be accidents. If we're caught, it'll be dangerous. We won't be able to live or die. It'll be troublesome if they slowly convert us."
He smiled. "We're lucky to meet a constellation master this time. We'll all die."
Jing Xue's expression changed slightly.
As a woman, she didn't know what kind of torture awaited her if she was really captured by the Divine Deity Clan.
"But don't worry, everyone from the Divine Deity Clan is proud and arrogant. Those they capture are usually ninth level masters. They don't care about small characters like us!" Jing Huan comforted.
Jing Xue forced a smile and didn't feel comforted at all.
She couldn't keep improving and never step into the ninth level. With her aptitude, the ninth level wasn't far away.
If she really stepped into the ninth level and was taken away by the Divine Deity Clan, she felt a chill just thinking about it.
Chu Li smiled. "Junior Sister doesn't need to worry too much. It's fine if you don't leave the sect when you reach the ninth level."
Jing Huan nodded. "You really don't go out when you reach the ninth level. All the elders in the sect are the same. They only attack when it's critical."
Chu Li pondered.
It seemed like this was also the Deity Clan's strategy. It was to prevent the ninth floor's Lotus Flower Sect's experts from mobilizing. This way, it was equivalent to eliminating the Lotus Flower Sect's strongest force.
The golden light in the golden pool flickered and drilled into the bodies of the nine monks. They slowly became more and more real.
After a while, they opened their eyes.
Eighteen rays of golden light flashed, and they returned to normal.
"Let's go, Junior Brothers," said Jinghuan loudly.
The nine monks were startled, their eyes filled with confusion.
Chu Li looked at the nine of them.
After reincarnation, they should have lost all their memories, just like newborn babies. However, from their expressions and eyes, it was clear that this was not the case. Their eyes flashed with blankness from time to time, but they were not lifeless.
The nine lotuses slowly brought them closer.
Jinghuan said, "Nine junior brothers, you are disciples of the Lotus Flower Sect. Because you were killed, you reincarnated into the Golden Pool. Now, follow me to the valley to search for your Lotus Wheel."
The nine of them looked at each other and nodded.
Unfamiliarity flashed in their eyes. Clearly, they did not recognize Jinghuan.
Jinghuan was familiar with this kind of situation and was not sad. He brought them to the valley at the side. Lotus Wheels suddenly flew out of the valley and headed straight for the nine monks, disappearing in an instant.
Golden light immediately flashed on their foreheads. Then, rays of brilliance circulated on their bodies. After a while, when they opened their eyes, their eyes were already shining brilliantly as if they were tangible.
Jinghuan revealed a smile. "Very good, then let's go back!"
Jingxue said, "Senior Brother Jinghuan, could it be that the Lotus Wheels can identify their masters?"
"The Lotus Wheels are connected to the soul," said Jinghuan. "They can find their masters in a moment."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Then the Lotus Wheels we obtained are …?"
"The Golden Pool was not formed as soon as our Lotus Flower Sect was founded." Jinghuan shook his head and said ruefully, "It was condensed through the painstaking efforts of countless predecessors. It is said that it is also the accumulation of merit. Before the Golden Pool condensed, the predecessors died, so they died completely."
Chu Li revealed a rueful expression.
The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. They indeed should thank these predecessors.
Jinghuan said, "Our Lotus Flower Sect currently only has six Lotus Wheels. You guys have taken three, so there are only three left."
"Does that mean the Lotus Flower Sect can no longer accept disciples?" asked Jingxue.
Jinghuan shook his head. "We can accept disciples, but we can only accept three direct disciples unless another disciple directly enters reincarnation."
"Directly enter reincarnation?" Jingxue was astonished. "Could it be that the Deity race can do it?"
Jinghuan shook his head. "It's not the Deity race. They chose it themselves."
"Could it be that there are people who don't want to be reborn and directly reincarnate?"
Jinghuan sighed and said, "There are!"
Jingxue's face was full of surprise.
Jinghuan said, "Some seniors are already tired of living and don't want to continuously reincarnate from the Golden Pool. They directly enter reincarnation. These seniors are usually outstanding people. They can cultivate to the ninth level of the lotus secret technique every time they reincarnate. Then, they keep on remembering their previous lives. This really isn't a beautiful experience. They get tired of it after a few times and might as well reincarnate directly."
"I can't think of one." Jingxue shook her head.
Jinghuan sighed and said, "Sometimes, living for too long isn't that interesting."
As he spoke, he brought the nine people out of the valley and floated toward the Lotus Flower Sect.
"Chi! Ding … "
Amidst the whistling sound, Jingxue's lotus wheel once again blocked in front of Jinghuan. A figure appeared once more, and then two more appeared behind him. They looked at the eleven of them with ridicule.
Chu Li's face sank.
This route had clearly been discovered. Last time he took this route, and this time, Jinghuan took it. The Deity race had already discovered the pattern and were waiting here.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding …" Chu Li's lotus wheel drifted erratically and shot toward a Deity.
Jingxue's lotus wheel was entangled with that Deity, and the sound of ding rang out incessantly.
The last remaining Deity was met by Jinghuan.
The three of them each held up a Deity. The other nine's lotus wheels also flew out and surrounded Jinghuan's opponent.
"Humph!" The Deity snorted coldly and suddenly opened his vertical eye.
Suddenly, a golden light shot toward a monk.
The monk immediately froze and didn't move an inch. The lotus seat couldn't support him, and he fell straight down.
Jinghuan's lotus wheel arrived at the monk's feet and supported him. The Deity's vertical eye flashed again, and another golden light shot toward Jinghuan.
Jinghuan's figure drifted, but he still couldn't dodge the golden light. The golden light was strange and abnormal, and he couldn't dodge it.
A lotus wheel swept past the Deity's neck, and his head flew up.
Jinghuan's falling body paused for a moment, and then he floated up.
The Deity opposite Chu Li suddenly opened his vertical eye, and the golden light shot toward Chu Li.
Chu Li's body tensed up, and he could already feel the impending doom. He activated God's Limbs and appeared in the Lotus Flower Sect in the next moment.
Just as the golden light was about to hit him, the Lotus Flower Sect suddenly swayed gently, and the golden light slowly dissipated unwillingly. Chu Li was lucky to escape. The next moment, he appeared beside Jinghuan, and the golden light came again.
He pulled Jinghuan and disappeared, appearing in the Lotus Flower Sect.
The Lotus Flower Sect swayed again, and the light was faintly discernible. The golden light slowly dissipated.
The next moment, he appeared behind Jingxue. Jingxue had already stiffened and was falling. He picked her up and disappeared.
