Chapter 73: Returning The Three Jade Scrolls

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After locking the cabin door, Di Jiu immediately checked the room. His mental strength could currently stretch out to 100 meters away, so as soon as he closed his eyes, he could check the room effortlessly.

The room seemed normal. There was no monitoring equipment inside.

With the Spirit Stone gone, Di Jiu could not cultivate, so all he could do was keep studying his mental strength’s attacking capacity.

This was too difficult and complicated compared to simple cultivation. His mental strength could stretch out and move objects, but it could not be used to attack someone.

Nearly 20 hours later, Di Jiu stopped looking for ways to attack. He believed that a mental attack was possible. The reason he was unable to achieve it was not because mental strength could not be used for an attack, but rather because he lacked the cultivation knowledge and mental strength. As long as he gained more knowledge regarding mental strength and consciousness, he would be able to master a mental strength attack someday.

The purpose of his mental strength was definitely not to work as another kind of vision...

When Di Jiu thought about that purpose, he immediately thought of the three jade slips, whose content had been engraved using mental strength. If other people could use mental strength to engrave, then he could try it as well.

He immediately took out one of the jade slips and touched it with his mental strength. This time, Di Jiu was not going to read its contents. He would try to leave some traces on it by using mental strength.

What made him happy was that he could engrave a text on a blank space on the jade slip and easily erase it afterwards.

This was a lot faster than writing by hand. Actually, even a computer would not be able to keep up. The jade slip could express any thought by engraving it using mental strength. Complex graphics could also be drawn, provided that one’s mental strength was strong enough.

Mental strength was indeed a good thing. Di Jiu put down the jade slip in his hand happily and began thinking about the first thing he would do on the Fairy Planet.

He would naturally visit his shop and then try to find a way to leave the Fairy Square. According to Hu Qianli, arriving on the Fairy Square did not mean that one could enter the Fairy Planet. There was a laser wall on the periphery of the Fairy Square, and the Earth Union controlled the number of people on the Fairy Square who were allowed to enter the Fairy Planet.

The question now was how he would enter the Fairy Planet through the Fairy Square.

He did not know anyone from the Earth Union, but even if he did, they would not have the authority to let him enter the Fairy Planet.

If he could, he would be willing to exchange his medicine to increase his strength and get an opportunity to enter the Fairy Planet. Who should he look for, though?

When he thought of that, Di Jiu suddenly had a realization. Someone would surely find him first.

His ticket to the Fairy Planet had been bought at an auction jointly organized by the Earth Union and Fairy No. 1. As long as he used this ticket, the Earth Union would know that he had gone to the Fairy Planet.

When he had bought the three jade slips and walked out of the auction, he had sensed that someone was stalking him. If that someone was related to the Earth Union, then the Earth Union must have been eyeing the three jade slips all along. The jade slips had been auctioned for billions, so even if the Earth Union had not cared before, it would surely care now.

The spatial ring he had not cared about at first had similarly been sold for over 10 billion. Di Jiu suddenly started to think about the ring again.

It didn’t matter if someone was spying on him or not. He still believed that he should make some preparations in advance.

One of the three jade slips contained some cultivation knowledge and language manuscripts that no one could be allowed to read.

Di Jiu had already memorized everything on that jade slip, so he took it out and erased its contents without hesitation.

After some thought, he began to engrave some cultivation-related texts on it as a way to revise what he had learned.

Half an hour later, Di Jiu put down the almost-full jade slip.

The other two jade slips contained information about entering a clan that was of no value to Di Jiu, so he did not alter them.

As long as the language manuscripts of the first jade slip were erased, no one would understand the other two jade slips, even if they were stolen.

...

Countless hours passed quickly before an announcement was heard in the cabin. They had finally arrived on the Fairy Planet.

Di Jiu quickly put on a simple disguise, sorted out his belongings and picked up his big bag before opening the cabin door. When the door opened, the waiter who had been bringing his meals was already waiting outside.

“Please follow me, sir...” he told Di Jiu respectfully.

“I can find my own way.” Di Jiu’s mental strength had already swept thousands of people out of the way, so all he had to do was go through that passage.

“Sir, you are a distinguished guest, so there is a special passage for you,” the waiter said quickly. “The passage outside is meant for the students of the Institute of Martial Arts.”

“Then lead the way.” Di Jiu did not care. Although there were many expert warriors who might be more powerful than him on the Fairy Planet, given his current strength, even if he didn’t win, he would still be able to escape alive.

The passage seemed very long. They walked a couple of kilometers before the waiter stopped and pointed to an open door. Di Jiu suddenly discovered that he was not on the Fairy Square, but in a relatively enclosed room.

Meanwhile, two men suddenly appeared behind him.

Di Jiu’s heart sank. He did not move, as he could feel that one of the men behind him was 10 times stronger than an Earth-Tier Warrior. He actually seemed to be a true connate expert.

Ever since he had reached the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement realm, Di Jiu had believed that he could beat a few connate warriors. Now that he had met a connate warrior though, he realized that he had overestimated his abilities.

He should be able to deal with one connate warrior, but if a few of them were to surround him, he might have some difficulty dealing with them, especially in this particular place. Di Jiu had definitely been a little overconfident.

He took a deep breath as he entered the room. The other party had not started a fight yet. If there was really a need to fight, then he would. Even if he could not beat those men, he would certainly drag a few of them down with him.

“Ha ha... Hello, my friend. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. My name is Ai Di, and I am one of the people in charge of the Fairy Planet.” Di Jiu heard a voice speaking in a strange Chinese accent as soon as he stepped into the room. Then, he saw a tall, muscular blond man with a beard.

When he noticed his extended hand, Di Jiu reached out and shook it. “My name is Di Jiu. Are you looking for something here?”

Ai Di did not answer directly. Instead, he reached out with a suspended fireball in his palm and said, “I am a Daoist and a martial artist. My martial arts are in the early stage of the connate realm, and my Dao cultivation is at the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement realm. May I know what you cultivate?”

Di Jiu was shocked. He was indeed not the only one who had reached the fourth stage of the Qi Refinement realm. It was very likely that there was someone stronger than him on the Fairy Planet.

It seemed that he would have to fight that day, even if he did not want to.

As he thought of this, Di Jiu raised his hand and smashed it down against a chair. The shadow of his strike immediately turned into a Saber Qi and split the chair into two.

After this move, Di Jiu said with a smile, “I am a martial artist who has cultivated the blade palm in the late-stage connate realm. The main reason I entered the Fairy Planet is to find a way to go beyond the connate technique.”

Di Jiu knew very well that, even though he had cultivated to the fourth-stage Qi Refinement realm, his current strength was far weaker than the late-stage connate realm’s. If the blond bearded man wanted to scare him, then he would scare him back.

Ai Di did not pay attention to Di Jiu’s blade palm. Although he thought that the wind blade was more invisible than the knife, Di Jiu’s words made him feel a little surprised. He knew Chinese people very well, but the Chinese people he interacted with were usually very modest. Di Jiu said that he had reached the late-stage connate, which most likely meant that he had reached the peak-tier connate. It was no wonder that he would want to come to the Fairy Planet, as he could no longer develop his skills on Earth.

When Di Jiu noticed Ai Di’s expression, he could tell that he had not paid attention to his blade palm. Di Jiu sneered silently. If he compared his palm knife with the wind blade, then the guy had to be blind.

In any case, Di Jiu’s words made Ai Di’s attitude change subtly. He suddenly signaled for Di Jiu to sit down and said, “Here’s the thing, Mr. Di. At a recent auction on Fairy No. 1, the Earth Union accidentally put three useful jade slips up for auction.”

“Are you talking about the three jade slips I bought?” Di Jiu asked in amazement. He silently thought that he had been right to be careful. The three jade slips had indeed been watched.

Ai Di rubbed his hands as he said, “Yes, yes, Mr. Di. We hope that you can return the three jade slips to us.”

Despite Ai Di’s seemingly embarrassed demeanor, if Di Jiu did not relent, he would not hesitate to attack him. He was surrounded by many experts on the Fairy Planet, so even though Di Jiu was at peak-tier connate, he would not be able to escape.

Di Jiu’s expression turned solemn before he said, “I do not know what those three jade slips are, Mr. Ai Di, but I have come to the Fairy Planet to find out. I believe you know how much I spend on them. After I purchased them, a guy offered me $170 billion for them. I do not need money, so of course I would not sell them.”

Ai Di knew that Di Jiu did not lack money. He had already investigated the items Di Jiu had splurged on at the auction. How could someone who lacked money splurge as much as Di Jiu had?

Ai Di’s face turned a little gloomy. He would not negotiate for much longer. In fact, he was already prepared to steal the jade slips.

“Mr. Di, these three jade slips must be taken back to the Earth Union,” Ai Di repeated.

Di Jiu smiled. “Mr. Ai Di, my jade slips were probably the most expensive items at the auction. I came here after buying a ticket. You can’t just say a word and expect to casually coerce me into handing over hundreds of billions of alliance dollars worth of items. This is deceit. If you want to fight, then I will humor you.”

Di Jiu suddenly stood up. His whole body was filled with Quintessential Essence, and an overpowering killing aura formed immediately. The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers focused on taking on challenges courageously, so ever since Di Jiu had understood the essence of the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers, the killing aura surged whenever he released it deliberately.
