As Di Jiu realized that he couldn’t control this kind of power, the Quintessential Essence spread all around him, his Spiritual Force guarding his Spiritual Sea.
Bam! Di Jiu fell onto the floor.
Was he okay? Di Jiu looked up and checked his surroundings. This was a sealed house made out of the same material as the main door. Spiritual force could not travel out of the house from the inside.
There was a pool in the middle of the house. There was actually water in the pool…
Wait! This did not seem to be water. Di Jiu felt a cooling sensation just by dropping his Spiritual Force on it. The name of a spiritual object suddenly appeared in his mind.
Spirit Baptism Pith…
Could this be the Spirit Baptism Pith? When Di Jiu dubiously allowed his Spiritual Force to permeate it again, another cooling sensation entered his Spiritual Sea.
Di Jiu drew a breath. He was certain that this was the Spirit Baptism Pith.
Just a drop of the Spirit Baptism Pith was already extremely valuable. However, there was a whole pool filled with it here. The Spirit Baptism Pith was the only spiritual object in the Cultivation World that could wash the Spiritual Sea. It was able to remove all impurities in the Spiritual Sea, thus purifying it.
The highest grade of a spiritual item in the Cultivation World was Level Nine. The Spirit Baptism Pith was considered an even higher level and one of the few ungraded spiritual objects in the Cultivation World.
This pool of Spirit Baptism Pith was a few times more valuable than the two supreme-grade spirit meridians outside…
The thought of the spirit meridians outside jolted Di Jiu awake. He had been transported there for no reason. Something felt wrong about the whole event.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force and Spiritual Sea were both at the highest Level Eight. His mental strength condensation could even be stronger than a True Form Realm Cultivator’s.
Actually, his Spiritual Force could not find any traces in the sealed house. Besides, he did not even know how he had gotten in himself.
By right, his abrupt appearance there should have been a result of space teleportation. However, the truth was that he did not sense any trace of a space Dharma Array there.
No matter how important the Spirit Baptism Pith was, Di Jiu would not take it. He had too many quality items as it was. The Book of the World and the Small Gray Stone were more valuable than the Spirit Baptism Pith.
His priority was finding a way out of there.
Since he could not find any traces, Di Jiu used the Heavenly Aqua Saber. The Heavenly Aqua Saber became a green light that struck the walls of the sealed house directly.
Crack! There was a loud, clear sound as the saber struck the wall. Di Jiu was shocked to realize that his Heavenly Aqua Saber had merely created a mark on the wall. No harm had been done.
What kind of material was this exactly? His Spiritual Force went through the wall as he tried to touch it.
A thick scent was suddenly present. Di Jiu let go of his hand, staring at the black wall. Could this be Geocentric Pattern Gold?
Geocentric Pattern Gold was an extremely rare refining material, about as rare as the Spirit Baptism Pith. Every piece of it was an item top martial experts would fight for.
A Dharma treasure made of Geocentric Pattern Gold could greatly reduce the effects of mental strength attacks. It was also the most suitable material for refining armor. An armor made of this material would improve one’s defense by 30 percent immediately.
Di Jiu was speechless. If this really was Geocentric Pattern Gold, how rich had the person who had built this place been? Or rather, how much of a wastrel had he been? Instead of refining this Geocentric Pattern Gold into armament, he had used it to build a house and a main door…
This actually made some sense, as this house was used to protect the Spirit Baptism Pith.
The Heavenly Aqua Saber definitely could not break through Geocentric Pattern Gold. Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber was only a low-grade spirit weapon. Only a supreme-grade weapon would have been able to break through.
Di Jiu was not concerned, as he still had the Dao fire. His Dao fire was already a level-six flame. Although this type of flame was slow when it came to burning Geocentric Pattern Gold, with some patience, it could definitely burn a hole in it.
As soon as the black Luminous Starry Sky appeared, Di Jiu heard an exclamation.

“Who’s that?” he asked in shock. He had only heard a voice. He could not see anyone. His Spiritual Force had combed through the place earlier, but there had been no one else around.
“It’s me. You actually conjured Dao fire? How did you do it?” A rather husky voice rang out from behind Di Jiu.
Di Jiu turned around immediately. A shocking figure in white was standing in front of him. He had not sensed it earlier, when he had been combing the room with his Spiritual Force. Where had this person been hiding?
“You brought me here to possess me?” Di Jiu stared at the white figure vigilantly. Judging by the shape of the figure, it had to be a woman.
“Do you think that you are fit to be possessed by me, given your rubbish potential and messy spirit root?” the figure answered disdainfully. “The fact that you can conjure Dao fire with your rubbish spirit root did shock me, though.”
Di Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, “I didn’t know that this place belonged to you. Please open the door. I’ll leave immediately.”
The figure’s powers were unfathomable. Even if it was just a Principal Spirit, Di Jiu did not dare stay long. The mental strength and array formation of this figure were way higher than his. Otherwise, he would have sensed this person by using his Spiritual Force long ago.
“Sure, you may leave. However, since you are here, you have to lend me something,” the white figure said matter-of-factly.
Di Jiu calmed down. This place was sealed completely by the Geocentric Pattern Gold, which blocked both Spiritual Force and Spirit Qi. There was no way he could leave, not unless he used the Plane Split Talisman. However, he had only two of them left and each one had its own use. Besides, would the figure give him enough time to use it?
“This is a Spirit Baptism Pith pool. Go wash your Spiritual Sea and Spiritual Force. Otherwise, I’ll find them disgusting.” The figure spoke lightly.
Even though washing his Spiritual Sea was beneficial, Di Jiu had no intention of going into the Spirit Baptism Pith pool. Firstly, his Spiritual Sea was clean. The stroke of lightning from the Small Gray Stone was very powerful. Just that aura alone would ensure that there were no impurities in his Spiritual Sea.
Secondly, he could not see the dangers within the Spirit Baptism Pith pool. The figure was very formidable. Both the teleportation array that had teleported him there and the invisibility technique used were way above his level. Thus, Di Jiu would never enter the Spirit Baptism Pith pool, no matter how brave he was.
“In that case, please let me leave. You just have to act like I was never here,” Di Jiu said, neither humbling himself nor showing disrespect.
“Unfortunately, the thing I want to borrow is your Spiritual Sea. Mine was shattered. No matter how many spirit objects I’ve used over the years, I haven’t been able to repair it. That’s why I have to borrow yours. Even though your Spiritual Sea is disgusting, I have no choice,” the figure said matter-of-factly again.
Di Jiu was so furious that his Heavenly Aqua Saber emitted waves of saber intent. This old geezer actually wanted his Spiritual Sea! Wasn’t that akin to killing him?
“You want to fight me?” the Principal Spirit asked calmly without even a hint of tension in his voice.
“Let me leave, old turtle. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you won’t get my Spiritual Sea, even if I have to die.” Di Jiu, who estimated that he was no match for this old geezer, had already decided to destroy his Spiritual Sea before his death.
The Principal Spirit sighed and said, “Since you do not agree, I have to bear with this disgusting feeling and do it myself…”
After his final word, a terrifying Sword Qi went straight into Di Jiu’s forehead between the eyebrows.
Di Jiu, who knew that he would not be able to block this Sword Qi, was dejected. This woman’s mental strength was too strong. It was definitely above level 10. Plus, she could also use mental strength to attack others.
The pattern circles of Di Jiu’s sea of knowledge were broken one by one. Eighth-stage, seventh-stage, sixth-stage…
Di Jiu wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.
A force of energy entered his body and threw him into the Spirit Baptism Pith pool. “Go in and wash your Spiritual Sea. Just the thought of using a dirty man’s Spiritual Sea makes me feel disgusted.”
As Di Jiu fell into the Spirit Baptism Pith pool, the sword flare that entered his Spiritual Sea broke through seven of his pattern circles. Just as the sword flare was about to break the last circle of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea, the Small Gray Stone hidden within the eighth pattern circle suddenly shot out waves of golden ripples. The sword flare slowly dissipated after coming into contact with the golden ripples.
These ripples kept moving out as the circles that were destroyed by the Principal Spirit recovered. In the blink of an eye, all the broken circles in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea had recovered.
Di Jiu breathed a silent sigh of relief and stayed perfectly still in the Spirit Baptism Pith pool.
The Spirit Baptism Pith within the pool kept brushing against his Spiritual Sea. Even though Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea had no impurities, as the Spirit Baptism Pith pool cleansed it, his Spiritual Sea became clearer and clearer.
Di Jiu knew very well that the woman would drag him out of the Spirit Baptism Pith pool once she determined that his Spiritual Sea was thoroughly cleansed.
Di Jiu did not know how that woman was going to take his Spiritual Sea, but he dared not find out. Instead, he was thinking about ways to ambush her.
The best time to do so would be when she thought that his Spiritual Sea was cleansed and dragged him up. After some thought, Di Jiu decided to use the Split-Wave Saber Move to ambush her. No matter how formidable her Principal Spirit was, she would not be able to survive if she was split into two by his Split-Wave Saber Move.
