Chapter 645: Refining the Void Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Dao Modeling cultivator stood up excitedly. “Senior, when Jiang Dai came to the Dark Red Sacred Dao City several years ago, the first thing he did was list Di Jiu as wanted and hang his arrest warrant outside the city.”

Xu Baishang was expressionless. He naturally felt that this was very normal. Since Jiang Dai had gone there to chase after Di Jiu, he naturally had to list Di Jiu as wanted. Given Jiang Dai’s current strength, it would probably be very easy for him to hang up Di Jiu’s arrest warrant.

The Dao Modeling cultivator added, “After Jiang Dai hung up the arrest warrant, he did not wait long here. He went to the Void City with some Primordial Chaos and half-step Primordial Chaos experts of the Void Ocean...”

“Went to the Void City?” Xu Baishang repeated in surprise.

The other people might not know the Void City, but he knew it. After he attained Primordial Chaos, he would think of a way to leave this realm and go to the Void City.

However, he had not expected Jiang Dai to go to the Void City before him, which made Xu Baishang feel an increasing sense of urgency. The strongest of the Ten Major Geniuses back then had attained the Primordial Chaos Realm. He was the only one lingering in the Primordial Dao Realm because the Void Mountain was trapped between the two realms.

If this went on, he would get more distant from the other geniuses.

The Dao Modeling cultivator was unaware of what Xu Baishang was thinking. He thought that Xu Baishang did not know the Void City, so he hurriedly said, “Yes, Senior. The Void City is rumored to allow one to attain an even higher level and Dao Integration. I even heard that there is a Dao Fruit Pagoda there with Dao fruits everywhere.”

Xu Baishang gestured with his hands. “Carry on first.”

The Dao Modeling cultivator promptly continued speaking. “Two years ago, Di Jiu came to the Dark Red Sacred Dao City of the Void Ocean. After he saw the arrest warrant on the city gate, he tore it into scraps without hesitation with one saber move...”

The Dao Modeling cultivator could sense that Xu Baishang, Di Jiu, and Jiang Dai were not good friends. Therefore, he immediately said Di Jiu’s and Jiang Dai’s names. In any case, he would leave right away after obtaining these things.

It was normal for Di Jiu to hack his arrest warrant into scraps with one saber move. In Xu Baishang’s opinion, Di Jiu was such a fellow. He found it strange that even though Di Jiu was so arrogant, none of the experts from the Dark Red Sacred Dao City had even taught him a lesson.

“What you meant previously is that all the half-step Primordial Chaos experts of the Void Ocean went to the Void City?” Xu Baishang very soon realized this. If all the experts had left, there would indeed be nobody to teach Di Jiu a lesson.

“Yes. The Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary’s Young Pavilion Lord provoked one of Di Jiu’s friends and Di Jiu directly threw him into the Void Ocean before wiping out the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary and establishing an Alchemy and Weapon Pavilion there that is closed now.” When the Dao Modeling cultivator finished speaking, he looked at Xu Baishang worriedly. The reason he told him in such detail was that he was afraid he would not get those 1,000 Divine Essence Pills.

“You’re saying that Di Jiu is still in seclusion here?” Not only was Xu Baishang unhappy, but his heart also sank. If Di Jiu could wipe out the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary, he was afraid that his strength would not be poorer than his. In that case, why should he be happy?

The Dao Modeling cultivator hurriedly responded, “Yes, Senior. Di Jiu is in seclusion in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City.”

“Are there any Primordial Dao cultivators in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary?” Xu Baishang asked.

The Dao Modeling cultivator answered, “There is one, but that mid-stage Primordial Dao expert only resisted a few moves before he was killed in front of Di Jiu.”

Xu Baishang lifted his hand and waved it. Then, 1,000 Divine Essence Pills directly landed in the hands of the Dao Modeling cultivator. “These elixir pills are yours. You may leave.”

“Okay. Thank you, Senior.” The Dao Modeling cultivator hurriedly took the Divine Essence Pills and rushed out of the Dark Red Sacred Dao City.

Even though having 1,000 Divine Essence Pills was a good thing, nobody would chase after him to snatch them.

Meanwhile, Xu Baishang had entered the Dark Red Sacred Dao City and arrived outside the Alchemy and Weapon Pavilion, where Di Jiu was in seclusion. When his Spiritual Force was blocked by the Defense Array, Xu Baishang calmed down completely.

He had not misjudged Di Jiu, who could easily kill a mid-stage Primordial Dao expert. Even if his strength was not on par with his, it would not be very different. Furthermore, since Di Jiu had set up this Defense Array, Xu Baishang knew he could not set it up, no matter how much he blamed himself.

Xu Baishang sighed and did not attack Di Jiu’s Defense Array by force. He knew clearly that unless he went to find his father, he could not take back the Void Mountain with his strength.

COMMENT

Di Jiu’s strength had grown too quickly. When he had met Di Jiu in the past, Di Jiu had been a nobody in his eyes, so he had not taken him seriously. However, Di Jiu was now on equal footing with him. After some time, Xu Baishang might be a nobody to Di Jiu.

He he... The Ten Major Geniuses...

Xu Baishang laughed self-derisively. If Di Jiu dared to stay in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City for seclusion, it showed that he was not afraid of Jiang Dai. In that case, Jiang Dai would chase after Di Jiu to kill him after some time, which would be a joke. Upon comparing the Ten Major Geniuses with Di Jiu, Xu Baishang shook his head, as he felt that they were too far apart.

Di Jiu had to have a top-notch secret. Unfortunately, this secret was not something Xu Baishang could know.

Xu Baishang restrained his impulse. Even though he needed the Void Mountain urgently, he did not dare touch the place where Di Jiu was in seclusion.

Xu Baishang turned around and walked toward an inn that was not far away. He would not leave this place too. Since he could not break the Defense Array of Di Jiu’s seclusion directly, he would have to wait until he came out of seclusion first.

Di Jiu was unaware of the fact that Xu Baishang was waiting for him outside. However, even though he knew, he did not take it seriously. At this point, he had just stabilized his mid-stage Dao Transformation strength and was about to swallow the second Absolute Jade Tincture Dao Fruit to attain the mid-stage Dao Transformation.

COMMENT

The Absolute Jade Tincture Dao Fruit and the supreme-grade Dao meridian allowed Di Jiu’s strength to soar madly each moment.

Time passed quickly and Xu Baishang grew impatient while waiting. However, he could only wait.

By the time Di Jiu once again used the Absolute Jade Tincture Dao Fruit and his strength reached the late-stage Dao Transformation, it had been two years since Xu Baishang had come to the Dark Red Sacred Dao City.

Di Jiu let out a sigh and stopped cultivating. There were no more Divine Essence Pills left on him.

Di Jiu was very grateful for the First Evolution Dao Sect’s An Tuning. If she had not brought him to the Great Age Elixir River, he would not have obtained 100 million Divine Essence Pills or reached the late-stage Dao Transformation so quickly.

He had relied on the large amounts of Divine Essence Pills. Even though he had to advance to the Dao Birth, after obtaining the two Absolute Jade Tincture Dao Fruits, he’d also relied on the supreme-grade Dao meridian and tens of millions of Divine Essence Pills to advance to the late-stage Dao Transformation.

Although he stopped cultivating, Di Jiu did not plan on going out now. He scanned the area with his Spiritual Force, which immediately landed on the Surveillance Array he had set up.

During his four years in seclusion, two second-step experts had lingered outside his Defense Array. Di Jiu did not recognize one of them, who had only looked for a while before leaving. Even though the other cultivator was thin and weak, Di Jiu could recognize him with one glance. It was undoubtedly Xu Baishang.

Xu Baishang had come to the Dark Red Sacred Dao City? It looked like his injuries had recovered very quickly, and he had definitely used the most top-notch Heaven Earth treasure. Otherwise, he could not have recovered that quickly.

Di Jiu knew very well why Xu Baishang had come. It was for the Void Mountain. Since Xu Baishang had not attacked his restriction, it meant that he was afraid of him. Di Jiu was sure that Xu Baishang would not leave the Dark Red Sacred Dao City just like this and would at least meet him before leaving.

He was not scared of Xu Baishang, and vice versa.

Di Jiu had never thought of leaving a treasure like the Void Mountain to Xu Baishang. After reaching the late-stage Dao Transformation, he planned to refine the Yin-Yang Taijitu first. Now that he had seen Xu Baishang, Di Jiu started to refine the Void Mountain without hesitation.

In the past, his cultivation level had been too weak, so he had been unable to completely refine the Void Mountain. Since he was now at the late-stage Dao Transformation, Di Jiu did not believe that he could not refine the Void Mountain.

He entered the Ninth World and took out the white jade stone tablet. Since there were Dao runes on the Void Mountain, corrosion auras emanated from it. Di Jiu silently sighed. Even though he had refined part of the restrictions, the viciousness on the Void Mountain and all sorts of shattered soul auras were still present.

Previously, he would have needed tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years and might not necessarily have been able to strip away these auras. Now that Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated the white jade stone tablet, the restrictions that needed time to be removed were like eggshells against his Nomological Qi Circulation.

Di Jiu could now sense clearly his great improvements.

He did not stop even for a second. It had taken him a decade to refine some restrictions, so he could not put away the Void Mountain. Now, he only spent a month refining all 108 restrictions of the Void Mountain. It landed in his hands and turned into a small mountain seal with frantic Dao runes circulating on it. It was very powerful at first glance.

“Good stuff!” Di Jiu could not help exclaiming. When this thing joined a battle, it would be a completely different kind of power from his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

He imagined himself drawing out the Void Mountain and watching it turn into hundreds of millions of vast peaks. That felt very comfortable.

He was not in a hurry to refine the Yin-Yang Taijitu, so he could meet Xu Baishang now.
