Chapter 1210: Encountering Lu Yunji Again! Split It!

Heavenly treasures and earthly essences are born from the condensation of heaven and earth's essence.

On a planet like Heishi Star, the heavenly treasures that form are naturally far more precious than those on Blue Star!

Yet during his time on Heishi Star, Xu Jingming had only collected a few extremely ordinary rare flowers and exotic herbs.

Who would have thought that a heavenly treasure was emerging nearby!

Shu—

A flash of pitch-black Lei Guang, and Xu Jingming shot out of the cave, gazing into the distance.

To his north, beneath a pitch-black sky, a terrifying vortex of yuan energy was slowly coalescing.

The next instant,

A brilliant seven-colored beam of light surged into the sky, illuminating the night like daylight!

"Even at a distance of a thousand kilometers, the disturbance is this strong—it must be an A-class heavenly treasure!"

Ci la—

Pitch-black lightning split the night sky as Xu Jingming, his expression electric with excitement, shot toward the beam at astonishing speed.

A-class heavenly treasures are exceedingly rare; even an A9-level one can fetch a price of three or four hundred million cosmic credits!

In other words, if he could secure this heavenly treasure, buying a new Lei Fu would no longer be a problem!

"I must get it! Lei Ji Shenying!"

Flashing pitch-black Lei Guang, Xu Jingming's speed surged to its absolute limit once more!

Shu—

As the distance closed, the yuan energy fluctuations grew fiercer, even causing his skin to tingle faintly.

In less than twenty seconds, Xu Jingming crossed over a thousand kilometers and arrived near the beam.

It was a valley, now flattened into bare earth by the yuan energy storm.

At the center of the beam, a luminous nine-colored lotus floated midair, slowly rotating.

The lotus had nine petals, each a different color, radiating an energy that sent shivers down the spine.

"Nine-Colored Xuan Lotus!"

The holographic projection of the twin-tailed little girl Eva emerged from her smart bracer, excitedly exclaiming:

"This is an A5-level heavenly treasure, taking ten thousand years to mature.

Consuming it greatly enhances spiritual power—one lotus is worth seven hundred million cosmic credits!"

"This thing is worth at least seven hundred million cosmic credits..."

Xu Jingming stared intently at the lotus, his breathing quickening.

Yet, besides him, six figures stood suspended in the air around the valley.

These were all powerful cultivators who had arrived before him.

"Two Starlight Ninth Stage, three Starlight Eighth Stage, and one Starlight Fourth Stage."

A single glance, and Xu Jingming instantly sensed their levels.

The six formed three groups of two, facing each other in mutual standoff.

One Starlight Ninth Stage paired with a Starlight Fourth Stage, another Starlight Ninth Stage paired with a Starlight Eighth Stage, and the remaining two Starlight Eighth Stage formed the third group.

On paper, the group with the Starlight Ninth Stage and Starlight Eighth Stage was the strongest.

But not strong enough to overpower the other two groups, so all three factions remained wary and held back.

Xu Jingming's arrival drew the attention of all three factions.

When they noticed the faint lightning mark on his forehead, all were startled.

Seed of the Lightning Dao!

True disciple of the Immortal God!

"Friend, though I don't know which Immortal God you serve,

I come from the family of Immortal God Heiguang.

If you're willing, let us cooperate.

Jointly seize the Nine-Colored Xuan Lotus, then divide it afterward."

The pair of Starlight Ninth and Starlight Eighth Stage moved first to extend the offer.

Though Xu Jingming had not revealed his aura,

they deeply knew the prowess of an Immortal God's true disciple—caution was always wise.

"Cooperate?" Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes.

Two Starlight Ninth Stage, three Starlight Eighth Stage—none were worthy to negotiate with him.

Just as he prepared to act, a crimson streak slashed across the sky.

"Xu Jingming, I never expected to run into you here."

A clear, melodious voice, like pearls tumbling on a jade plate, as a tall, graceful figure landed beside him.

She wore a crimson battle suit that clung to her curves with breathtaking precision.

Her full chest strained the suit into a startling curve, her slender waist easily encircled.

The firm curve of her hips shimmered faintly beneath the tight suit.

Long, straight legs clad in crimson battle boots, each step radiating an intoxicating allure.

It was Lu Yunji.

"Senior Lu," Xu Jingming was equally surprised to encounter Lu Yunji here.

"Nine-Colored Xuan Lotus! Our luck is incredible!"

Gazing at the distant lotus, Lu Yunji's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Let's take it together, then split it fifty-fifty!"

Before Xu Jingming could speak, another voice rang out:

"Hehe, whether you can take it isn't up to you, Lu Yunji."

With a light laugh, two streams of golden and cyan light flew in from afar, coalescing into a man and a woman.

The woman was tall and voluptuous.

She wore a cyan battle suit, but its design differed from ordinary battle suits.

It clung tightly to her body, even faintly revealing the shape of her navel.

Around her slender waist wound a delicate silver chain.

It swayed gently with her movements, glinting with alluring luster, making her entire figure appear exceedingly alluring.

The man beside her wore golden battle armor, his face cold and stern, his gaze sharp—clearly no ordinary figure.

Lu Yunji, seeing these two, narrowed his crimson eyes slightly and said coolly, "So it's you."

At the same time, Xu Jingming's mind echoed Lu Yunji's mental transmission:

"These two are from our Sacred Ground."

The woman is Youli, a Level 1 genius.

Star Radiance Eighth Stage, wields a T7-level Phantasm.

Dual domains: Wind and Metal, both at Domain Level Sixteen.

She's competing with me for the Sacred Ground's exchange tournament slot in Star Radiance Eighth Stage—we have some tension."

The man beside her is Taker, Star Radiance Ninth Stage, wields a T8-level Phantasm.

His domains are slightly weaker—he controls Metal and Earth, both at Domain Level Fifteen—he's our Sacred Ground's Level 2 genius.

I never expected the two of them would team up.

Leave the rest to me—don't provoke them."

Hearing this, Xu Jingming's thoughts immediately sharpened.

If Taker, the Star Radiance Ninth Stage, were a Level 1 genius, he might still be wary.

But a Level 2 genius who only wields a T8-level Phantasm poses little real threat to him.

With the arrival of Lu Yunji and the other two, the atmosphere shifted again.

They all knew their strength paled in comparison to these Sacred Ground prodigies!

"Let's cooperate—they're all from Noah Sacred Ground. Without joining forces, we won't get a share of the Nine-Colored Mystic Lotus."

The man who had first spoken to Xu Jingming addressed the other two teams.

He knew well that Xu Jingming would never ally with people like them, compared to Lu Yunji's group.

"No problem."

"Agreed."

The other two teams, understanding their current situation, nodded in unison.

"Four my lords, we have two Star Radiance Ninth Stage, three Star Radiance Eighth Stage."

Though we may not defeat you, holding you off for a while is no problem."

Two choices: split the Nine-Colored Mystic Lotus evenly between us.

Or wait for a Star Rank expert to arrive—then none of us get anything."

The middle-aged man, as their representative, looked toward Xu Jingming and the other three.
