Chapter 92: The Thousand-Layered Spatial Golden Lotus

She became even more certain that her hand had never touched the golden lotus at all.

She was sure that this body of hers possessed not the faintest trace of cultivation, and that she had received no help from the Dream Tower either.

And yet why had she managed to do something that Nalan Dijiu could not, something like plucking a lotus bloom?

More than that, she had accomplished what even Nalan Dijiu had been unable to do.

Just a moment ago, he had reached out and still failed to take that golden lotus. So what on earth was going on now?

Baili Tianchang looked down at the enormous bloom resting quietly in her palm, so large it was twice the size of her hand, and felt utterly baffled.

"Nalan Dijiu, it... it flew into my hand on its own?"

The golden lotus in her palm was still shimmering with dazzling light, making it almost impossible for her to believe what had just happened.

"Congratulations, little fairy."

To her surprise, Nalan Dijiu did not answer her question right away. Instead, he wore a brilliant smile and offered her his congratulations.

"Congratulations on getting it without lifting a finger? On plucking this golden lotus without even trying?"

"That thing is not called a golden lotus. It has a name. It is called the Thousand-Layer Space Golden Lotus."

"Then why did it fly into my hand?"

"Because the blood of a space mage flows in you. Because the Thousand-Layer Space Golden Lotus was born for space mages. Its true value can only be brought out in the hands of a space mage."

"What do you mean?"

Baili Tianchang still did not quite understand.

What exactly was a space mage?

And what value did the Thousand-Layer Space Golden Lotus possess?

"In plain words, you are actually a space mage. The reason your body sometimes feels as though it is being torn apart is because your talent as a space mage is already on the verge of awakening.

"You merely lack the one thing needed to activate that talent. And this Thousand-Layer Space Golden Lotus is precisely that thing. It can turn you into a true space mage."

Nalan Dijiu explained patiently.

Seeing that Baili Tianchang only grew more confused the more he said, he suddenly remembered something.

"I nearly forgot. This is the 'encyclopedia' you wanted. With it, everything will become clear."

As he spoke, Nalan Dijiu took the book entitled The Record of All Things from his storage space.

"But before we read it, we must do one thing first. This book was borrowed by this king from the Saintess of Sunken Fish, so it must be returned intact. Only after your identity as a space mage has been awakened will you be able to possess a copy of this book."

"How do I awaken it?"

Though she still did not fully understand, Baili Tianchang chose to follow Nalan Dijiu's arrangements. She knew he would never harm her.

"It is very simple. All you need to do is swallow the Thousand-Layer Space Golden Lotus."

"You make it sound easy enough. You want me to eat such a huge thing raw?"

Baili Tianchang reached out and touched one of the lotus petals. It was so hard it felt like iron walls and copper ramparts.

If she swallowed this thing whole, it would be no different from eating steel.

Not to mention that her teeth were nowhere near hard enough for that, even if she did manage to swallow it, her body would never be able to digest it.

"Who said anything about eating it raw? This king will refine it into a pill."

Nalan Dijiu looked at her with indulgent tenderness.
