Chapter 751: Treasure in the Nine Heavens
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the very beginning, Cai Die was only a normal butterfly, but her place of residence was anything but ordinary.
It was the immortal empress’ rear garden in the Nine-Heaven Realm.
This was a courtyard the immortal empress personally cared for. During the immortal era, flowers bloomed in abundance, and butterflies danced everywhere. Fairies were allowed to play there every day too, so it became obvious that the butterflies and insects who lived there were lucky beings. Not only were they surrounded by fragrant flowers nourished with immortal energy, but they could also hear educational conversations from the fairies and the immortal empress herself.
Insects that managed to gain spiritual intelligence began to accumulate experience slowly. However, being the lowest level of spiritual beings, the initial gain of spiritual intelligence was the hardest challenge for them.
Unless they had a miraculous encounter, they would otherwise find it hard to embark on their cultivation journey.
Cai Die was one of the lucky ones.
She fell onto the immortal empress’ finger once, and the latter had said, “This butterfly is beautiful. If she can take on a human form someday, she will surely be a divine beauty.”
Such simple words had given Cai Die immense luck.
But after that day, Cai Die never saw the immortal empress again.
Although the garden was still filled with flowers and fairies were everywhere, the immortal empress no longer showed up.
This confused Cai Die.
She had officially begun cultivating that day, but it was a difficult journey for her. Until the immortal tragedy, she only had a tiny bit of cultivation and couldn’t transfigure yet.
She had then found a unique route to escape the Nine-Heaven Realm, but due to cowardice and diligence, she remained hidden in the mainland for over two thousand years.
With two thousand years to assimilate, her cultivation level improved significantly. Although she didn’t know many spells, she was incredibly proficient in those that she did know. Also, she never mentioned her origin to anyone before. Although she had been in hiding for two thousand years, she had experienced many things and seen many people.

Among them included so-called experts of this era, but none could tell of her origins.
Lin Jin was the first.
Their subsequent conversation baffled Mr. Zhou and Tan Xun as the two had no idea what Lin Jin and Cai Die were talking about. The latter duo seemed to be talking between themselves, though it was mostly Lin Jin doing the asking while Cai Die gave answers.
Lin Jin was merely curious. He finally found someone who had been living in the Nine-Heaven Realm so he had to satisfy his curiosity by asking about everything. Meanwhile, Cai Die was answering him out of fear. She was completely intimidated by Lin Jin so she answered even the most covert information.
Then, Lin Jin asked about the Golden Tian Luo pill. It was what he desired most right now as it was a required item for Xiao Huo’s evolution to Rank 8.
He was only trying his luck but Cai Die actually knew about it.
Not only that, she had even seen one before.
At the immortal empress’ rear garden.
So it seemed that many prominent immortals would visit the garden during festivities to visit the immortal empress and celebrate with her. And how could they not bring gifts?
Among these gifts was the Golden Tian Luo Pill.
The rear garden ended up having many of these pills. Based on Cai Die’s knowledge, she knew there was at least a full bottle there.
And in one bottle, there were usually at least five pills.
Excitement surged through Lin Jin. But then, he remembered that the immortal empress’ rear garden was in the Nine-Heaven Realm, so even if there were Golden Tian Luo Pills hidden there, Lin Jin couldn’t venture there.
He subsequently learned of a way to enter the Nine-Heaven Realm from Cai Die.
This made Lin Jin’s heart thump wildly.
Previously, he could virtually see the Nine-Heaven Realm and even gain some things from it. But despite the vision looking realistic, it was a far cry from the actual realm.

Entering the Nine-Heaven Realm was much too difficult.
But now, Cai Die had offered him an idea that could help him enter the ninth realm where the immortal palace was, and the route even led directly into the immortal empress’ rear garden.
That would save so much time. And Lin Jin would be lying to say he wasn’t interested.
He went on to think about entering the Nine-Heaven Realm, entering the immortal empress’ rear garden, and obtaining the Golden Tian Luo Pills. Then, Xiao Huo could advance to Rank 8.
After that, they would be only one step away from Rank 9.
This idea was much too attractive. Even if there was only a slight chance, Lin Jin wouldn’t give up. Even if it meant taking a huge risk, he would do it.
The potential profits were too great to refuse.
‘I must try it,’ Lin Jin thought. But before that, he had to plan this well. As he needed to stay in the royal capital for a month, he would use this time to plan and prepare himself.
He had to, as the immortal palace had too many restriction spells. Even if there were immortal guards, these spells were still effective after two thousand years. They might be triggered out of carelessness.
It was the real immortal palace so Lin Jin had a feeling that his mortal body wouldn’t be able to endure any spells there.
In addition, based on Cai Die’s description of the place, Lin Jin feared he might get to the wrong place so it was better to have her guide him there.
He also needed to prepare the other materials Xiao Huo needed for a Rank 8 evolution.
Before he knew it, Lin Jin had decided on Xiao Huo’s evolution plan.
Lin Jin left the Zhou Mansion in a delightful mood. Cai Die was obviously reluctant about guiding him to the immortal empress’ rear garden, but she was too afraid to reject Lin Jin so she had agreed to it.
Although Lin Jin sympathized with this sorrowful couple, he wouldn’t hesitate whenever he needed to be cruel. Just in case, he even left a needle inside Cai Die’s body.
If Cai Die ever escaped out of fear, he could capture her immediately.
Of course, to gain her peace of mind, Lin Jin promised her a reward, and that was to prolong Mr. Zhou’s ‘life’.
In other words, he would help Mr. Zhou hold out longer.
Based on the current situation, Mr. Zhou wouldn’t last more than a year. Lin Jin told Cai Die that if she would help him, he could extend Mr. Zhou’s life for another ten years.
The difference between one year and ten years was obvious. For this reason, Cai Die agreed to Lin Jin’s request.
As for how Lin Jin would achieve this, it wasn’t hard actually. The couple only had to cultivate a higher level of blood contract. In other words, they need not tamper with death or go against heaven’s rule. They just had to meddle with their blood contract so Cai Die would be the owner while Mr. Zhou became the support.
No one knew this cultivation method, nor had they heard of it before. Lin Jin was aware that this method wouldn’t solve the root cause of the problem, but it was at least ten times better than the method Cai Die was using now.
This was also the best idea Lin Jin had come up with after racking his brains. Even if other profound immortals were here, they wouldn’t be able to find a better solution..
