Gu Xijiu's disappearance made it clear to him that he was too deeply in love with her to give it all up now . If he could find her, he would never let her go . He was willing to fight for her with all he could .
Six months passed, slowly . Early in the morning, Di Fuyi stood waiting at the platform, where Gu Xijiu usually landed . The mussel and Lu Wu joined him for the wait as well . Di Fuyi wanted to return the majestic beings to her as soon as she emerged . Also, he realized that she would try to escape from him even more if he continued to stress her out with his overwhelming affection . He had to take it slow .
First, he would stay by her side as a friend and stop giving her pressure . He would not even mind becoming her disciple, as long as he got to stay by her side . He needed to put himself in a favorable position . He was confident that someday, she would finally realize how much he cared for her .
Determined, Di Fuyi stood waiting patiently at the platform . From dawn to dusk, then from the night to another light of the day, he continued to wait for her .
She did not emerge on the first day . He tried to calm himself down, as the mussel had once told him that the journey would take one whole day . The second day of waiting remained fruitless . He thought that she must have been caught up by some unforeseen circumstance . She surely would arrive anytime soon . The third day and the following days were the same .
Unmoving, he stood there, waiting for two weeks straight . Days went by, from sunrise to sunset, from nightfall to another morning again . Di Fuyi spent every minute in anxiety . Sometimes, the long wait would wear him out, making his effort seem hopeless .
Many immortals came and went . Many women passed him by each day, but none of them was the person he was looking for . Bai Ze could not bear seeing him in such a difficult situation . It suggested that he should rest, while it would continue the wait while he was away . If there were any news, Bai Ze would inform him immediately .
Unsurprisingly, the stubborn prince refused . Silently, he continued to stand on the platform . As if firmly rooted, he lay against the pillar and refused to leave . Bai Ze's persuasion was futile . Even if the Eight Mythological Beasts were all here to tell him the same message, he would remain unmoved .
Bai Ze was concerned about him . It started to miss the Divine Lord . If he were still here in the continent, he would know what had exactly happened to Gu Xijiu; then the young prince would not have to wait in such desperation .
It was such a pity that no one could help him . The wait lasted for a month, and Di Fuyi finally decided to call it off . Without the mussel and Lu Wu by his side, he would think that she chose to disappear to keep herself away from him . Otherwise, she might be in the mortal world attending to some matters . However, this time was different . She did not choose to leave; it all happened so suddenly . She would be very eager to see her beloved majestic beings again .
Was this the punishment for her betrayal of the heavenly secret? She must be distraught now . She was probably waiting for his help . Di Fuyi could no longer sit around, waiting for her .
…
In the ninth heaven, there was a Rotary Platform . It was where the immortals would leave the Saha World for their exiles in the mortal world . It was a scary place .
As soon as one leaped from the platform, he or she would hardly be able to come back . Moreover, the Rotary Platform was poisoned . Each victim's spiritual power would be reduced by half . More seriously, his or her memory would be partially erased .
The Rotary Platform highly resembled the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld .
