Joe Di placed the Thunder Pearl into the Ninth World, positioning it beneath the World Tree.
No one else could save Emily Ye with such an innate advantage. Placing a soul beneath the World Tree is the optimal way to nurture it. Once he finds the Duality Blossom, rescuing Emily Ye should be no problem at all.
After stowing away the Thunder Pearl, Joe Di was disappointed to find he could not retrieve the Jade Disc Array Plate. Activated by the Black Sea, the array plate had opened a portal to a new realm, but he could neither return the way he came nor collect the plate.
Joe Di did not know if this place was the Netherworld, nor did he have any concept of it. As a cultivator, he had visited the Immortal Realm, understood the existence of wandering souls, and even knew that souls could reincarnate. He himself possessed the Lethe Bridge.
However, he had yet to comprehend the Grand Way of Reincarnation. Though his Lethe Bridge was powerful, Joe Di believed its true potential had not been unleashed, not even one ten-thousandth. The reason was his lack of understanding of Cycle Resonance.
Perhaps only by stepping into the Dao Fusion Realm would he be qualified to touch upon the Grand Way of Reincarnation.
Joe Di casually summoned his Reincarnation Bridge. Before he could even channel his Dao resonance, an overwhelming aura of reincarnation swept outward. Countless wandering souls surged toward him, and Joe Di quickly withdrew the bridge.
He knew that many of the souls here longed for reincarnation but could not find the Reincarnation Bridge. If he allowed them to enter his bridge, they would be reduced to ashes, their souls truly annihilated.
Joe Di did not know if there was a Reincarnation Bridge in this place—at least, he had not seen one. He had no desire to remain in a realm filled with wandering souls. Reaching out into the void, he suddenly sensed something where before there was nothing.
Crack! A fissure split open in the void, and Joe Di stepped through it without hesitation.
