Chapter 430: The Principal Spirit In The Corner Of The House

Di Jiu was pleased. Despite spending over ten years just to get a Sacred Yin Pearl, it was all worth it. In fact, the biggest gain was not the Sacred Yin Pearl, but the creation of a new skill, the laws of Qi Circulation.

He was probably the only person who could cultivate such a skill that could not be passed down.

In comparison, upgrading the power of the eighth stage of the Zenith Heaven Immortal was more inconspicuous.

Di Jiu tidied up himself. Then, he walked over to the corpses and waved his hand lightly, disintegrating the corpses into dust.

The dark, chilling aura of the Sacred Yin Pearl was evidently terrifying. These bodies had all been subdued to darkness, but because they had been left untouched, they seemed to be intact.

The bodies that came later all had rings that looked crumbled. The Immortal King named Hao Ran, who had dashed to the front lines, had also been turned into ashes in a similar manner.

In the few decades before and after Di Jiu had come out, he did not know how Mo Yuxuan and the rest were doing. All he wanted now was to return to Dai He Hall as soon as possible. However, before he could do so, he would have to obtain the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit. Hopefully, Dead Face had not lied to him.

“Peng!” Just as he turned around, Di Jiu heard a soft yet sharp sound coming from around the corner.

Di Jiu turned around again and stared at the corner of the basement. He had stayed here for many years. Even though this time had only been spent cultivating the Sacred Yin Pearl, he was definitely familiar with every movement in the house. There had not been any movement in over ten years, yet now there was, right when he was about to leave. Without a doubt, he was surprised.

There was nothing in the corner of the house. Even though Di Jiu was a top-notch level-eight Immortal Array Supremacy, he could not detect anything there.

Could the concealment array in this place be beyond level-eight? Just as Di Jiu was about to focus on the Dao eyes, the same sound was emitted once again.

Di Jiu was sure that there was someone in the corner who was trying to get his attention because he was leaving.

When the Dao eyes opened, Di Jiu noticed faint trails of the array foundation. He whipped out his Heavenly Aqua Saber and slashed it with one swing.

“Ka-cha!” With merely a single blow, the array foundation in the corner presented itself. Although it was of a high level, its defence was weak.

Right before his eyes, the faint shadow was bound in the corner of the house.

Yet another fellow like Yu Qi? No, Yu Qi was merely a remnant soul. This guy was a full Principal Spirit.

As his Spiritual Force lay on this Principal Spirit, Di Jiu felt an overwhelming sense of aura.

He was extremely sensitive to the Heaven Earth Law, so he had a feeling that regardless of how weak this Principal Spirit was, he would not be able to kill it. The aura on the spirit made Di Jiu suspect that once he laid his hands on the spirit, it would escape through space.

Di Jiu hesitated before grabbing a handful of level-seven healing powder and sprinkling it over. He then reached out with his hand and, in a tearing motion, eliminated the Concealment Array in the corner. Since he could not retain the Principal Spirit, he might as well give it some benefits and end things on a friendly note.

“Thank you…” Although Di Jiu’s healing elixir did not have much of an effect on the weak Principal Spirit, it still expressed its gratitude.

“Could you spare me the pure Yin Chaos Qi in the Sacred Yin Pearl?” asked the remnant soul in its weak voice.

Di Jiu remained still. He knew very well how valuable the pure Yin Chaos Qi in the Sacred Yin Pearl was.

“I don’t know you,” Di Jiu said calmly, rejecting the other party this way. Although he was not afraid of being possessed by the spirit, he did not want it to get the chaos Qi and become stronger.

The weak spirit remained silent for a while before suddenly saying, “Although I lost many of my memories, I can feel that the Sacred Yin Pearl that you obtained was brought here by me… No, it seems like the Sacred Yin Pearl brought me here… Not really, though.” The spirit started to mumble to itself as though it was trying to recall something important.

Di Jiu, however, believed it. It was highly possible that the Principal Spirit had really brought the Sacred Yin Pearl here. Furthermore, he could feel that this weak spirit did not intend to possess him. He thought for a while before throwing a gust of chaos Qi toward the weak spirit and saying, “This is for you. Please go restore your body. Farewell.”

“Hold on…” the weak spirit called out to Di Jiu. “I have something important that I can’t recall. I think it has something to do with the Sacred Yin Pearl. You can’t take it with you.”

Di Jiu turned pale. “The Sacred Yin Pearl is mine. Why can’t I take it with me?”

He was sure that it did not belong to the weak spirit. Even if the Sacred Yin Pearl had been refined, it still would not belong to the spirit.

The weak spirit was stunned by Di Jiu’s words – the Sacred Yin Pearl was his, so why couldn’t he take it with him? He somehow felt that since the Sacred Yin Pearl had presented itself here, it had to be related to him. However, he was sure that it did not belong to him.

Right, he recalled now… The Sacred Yin Pearl could not be refined and did have an owner. How could the other person take it? This was not right.

“Where can I find you in the future?” The weak spirit felt that Di Jiu was leaving, so he called out in desperation, as though fearing that once Di Jiu left, everything would disappear as well.

Di Jiu calmly looked at the weak spirit and said, “You should be thankful that you met me. If you had met someone else, I suppose you would have been killed.”

The weak spirit flared up. “Then try to kill me. You think I’m that easy to kill?”

“You were previously an Immortal Emperor too, but now… you are just a weak spirit…” Di Jiu paused then, realizing that the weak spirit was quickly solidifying. The chaos Qi was obviously very powerful. Deep down, Di Jiu believed that the spirit was not easy to kill.

The Principal Spirit huffed. “What is an Immortal Emperor? I can destroy a bunch of them with a slap of my hand… But who am I to say that?”

Once again, he delved into deep thoughts.

What was an Immortal Emperor? Something clicked inside Di Jiu- this guy had to be a top-notch expert. His cultivation level was low at the moment, but if Di Jiu brought him along…

The very idea was immediately cast away. Di Jiu would not dare to keep someone who disregarded the Immortal Emperor by his side, even if that person was not thinking properly at the moment.

“Can you take me with you?” asked the Principal Spirit in a straightforward manner, as he seemed to have figured out what he could not recall.

“You even look down on the Immortal Emperor, so my cultivation level must be nothing to you. What makes you think I would dare to keep you close?”

“Why wouldn’t you?” It seemed that the Principal Spirit had been trapped for so long that his ability to think had been compromised.

Di Jiu gave up and explained, “I’m afraid that you will get rid of me and steal my Sacred Yin Pearl when I let my guard down.”

The Principal Spirit was livid upon hearing Di Jiu, “Do you think the Sacred Yin Pearl is something that can be stolen? It does not have an owner and it cannot be refined… Hmm? That’s not right. How did you get your hands on the Sacred Yin Pearl?”

This was a question that had bothered the Principal Spirit for a while, yet he was voicing it out only now.

However, Di Jiu believed the spirit – the Sacred Yin Pearl indeed could not be refined. The reason he was able to do so was that he had created the cultivation and refining method of the law of Qi circulation.

Upon seeing that the Principal Spirit had once again sunk into deep thought, Di Jiu broke into a run and dashed away.

Once he was out of the Starry Flame Commercial Building, he instantly noticed that the entire street was transforming again. When he had first entered, he had still seen some skeletons and things in the shops. Now, all these things had been chilled and turned into something similar to the corpses in the Starry Flame Commercial Building.

Di Jiu sprinted to the entrance and used a Spiritual Force. The entrance Defense Array was still there, although just its form was left. It would probably be destroyed in a while.

Fifteen minutes later, Di Jiu landed on the Lunar Fairy Sea once again. He was not in a hurry to leave the Lunar Fairy Sea, as he had to make a trip to where the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit was.

…

The jade slip that Di Jiu had received from the dead-faced fellow was on an island in the Lunar Fairy Sea. The island, which was not too far away from the Yin Flame Island, was covered in piles of rocks.

Di Jiu wandered in the Lunar Fairy Sea by himself, bearing in mind not to investigate any path because the sea was full of danger. If he was careless, even the boat might be devoured by the sea.

Fortunately, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was strong. Just one and a half months later, a rocky beach appeared in his Spiritual Force.

An island in the Lunar Fairy Sea looked just like the coastline.

Di Jiu put away his boat and sat down on the rocky beach. He realized that this was not a secret place, as his Spiritual Force detected dozens of cultivators.

Di Jiu had an inkling that he had been deceived by the dead-faced fellow.

There were so many people here that it would be weird if a treasure like the Glazed Heaven Spirit Fruit still existed.

The jade slip given to him by the dead-faced fellow did not state where exactly on the rocky beach the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit was hidden.

“Are you here to look for the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit too, my friend?” asked a smiling cultivator who had stepped foot on the rocky beach and started hurrying over.

Di Jiu was livid. If Dead Face was here, he could not guarantee that he would resist attacking him. So much for thinking he was a good business partner… He had wasted a few months because of this asshole, only to arrive at a rocky beach where everyone knew about the hidden Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit.
