Chapter 435: Xiao Da

Chapter 435: Xiao Da

This skeleton definitely belonged to a top-notch expert. Furthermore, since the Sacred Yin Pearl’s remnant aura was here, this meant that the skeleton had most likely tried to refine the Sacred Yin Pearl there. However, why would he do that at a place like the Lunar Immortal Sea, where there was a toxic mist?

Di Jiu couldn’t figure it out. He glanced at the chain that locked up the skeleton and threw his Luminous Starry Sky flame at it.

However, he was stunned when he realized that although his Luminous Starry Sky was already a level-nine immortal flame, it couldn’t melt the chain.

Since even his Dao fire couldn’t melt the chain, Di Jiu didn’t bother cutting it with his Heavenly Aqua Saber. That would be futile.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated the chain and he found several indentations.

There were some blue residuals on the indentations. Di Jiu picked up a tiny shard of the residuals and felt a vast amount of Heaven Earth Essence Energy entering his body. In just a split second, Di Jiu had broken through to the perfected ninth-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and could progress to the Immortal King Realm at any moment.

He was extremely excited while he picked up dozens of blue shards and placed them into a jade box. This thing was definitely of a higher grade than supreme-grade immortal crystals. It was a pity that there was just a small amount of it left.

After Di Jiu removed all the shards, the Defense Array outside the island collapsed completely and the toxic mist soon dissipated into the Lunar Immortal Sea.

Hu Hou and Xu Gongli, who were still cowering in fear in the array, discovered that the array that restricted their escape had disappeared. They charged like crazy towards the Lunar Immortal Sea, both of them trembling in excitement.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force sensed the two of them, so he naturally found out that the invisible confinement array surrounding this island had disappeared. He knew that he had probably saved their lives because both the Defense Array here and the confinement array outside depended on these blue shards for Essence Energy.

Since he had taken the shards away, the supply of Essence Energy had been cut, so the confinement array had obviously been shut off.

Di Jiu estimated that the blue shards wouldn’t have lasted much longer even if he hadn’t come.

Even the chain that locked up the skeleton came off. Di Jiu wasn’t going to be courteous about it. He was about to transfer both the chain and the skeleton to his Quintessential World, when he suddenly saw a line of words written beneath the skeleton.

“Zhong You, don’t expect your grandfather to refine the Sacred Yin Pearl for you if you lock me up in your River and Mountain Kettle. I would rather split my Principal Spirit from my body and escape from this corner of your River and Mountain Kettle to another corner with the Sacred Yin Pearl than refine the pearl for you…” (This note was written in first-person perspective by Zhong Ao, Zhong You’s grandfather)

Di Jiu’s heart sank when he saw this line of words. This was actually a corner of Zhong You’s Dharma treasure. According to Zhong Ao’s note, the Lunar Forsaken Tomb was Zhong You’s River and Mountain Kettle. No matter where he was inside the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, he would still be in someone else’s Dharma treasure.

Di Jiu immediately dismissed the idea of progressing to the Immortal King Realm in this place. At the moment, he just wanted to leave this place immediately and get as far away from the Lunar Forsaken Tomb as possible.

Since the Lunar Forsaken Tomb had become a training ground for cultivators from all planes of the Immortal World, something must have happened to Zhong You. However, regardless of whether Zhong You was dead or not, Di Jiu didn’t dare to take the risk.

Even Di Jiu was capable of recovery if his physical body was destroyed, as long as his Dao law was still intact, let alone an expert like Zhong You. In fact, as long as there was at least one Dao Force Imprint left, Di Jiu would have a chance of coming back to life.

Even he wouldn’t die so easily. Thus, how could an expert like Zhong You be dead?

Di Jiu didn’t care if several Immortal Emperors were waiting for him at the edge of the Lunar Immortal Sea, as he didn’t want to spend another second here. He got the heebie-jeebies when he recalled that he had spent several years hiding in someone’s Dharma treasure.Read latest chapters at NovelFull

Without hesitation, he placed Zhong Ao’s skeleton, as well as the chain, into his Quintessential World and locked them up with a dozen top-notch restrictions before he headed back to the Lunar Immortal Sea.

Neither the Lunar Immortal Sea storm nor the Lunar Immortal Mist were capable of stopping Di Jiu from leaving this place as soon as possible.

It took Di Jiu only just over a month to reach the edge of the Lunar Immortal Sea, even though the trip was supposed to take three to four months.

While others could extend their Spiritual Forces on the Lunar Immortal Sea, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could clearly sense that there were dozens of Immortal Kings and Immortal Supremacies at the shore.

However, that didn’t matter to Di Jiu, as he wasn’t even planning on going ashore. Just as he was about to execute the Spiritual Force escape technique, a figure suddenly landed on his ship.

“I’ve been looking all over the place for you. Where is the Sacred Yin Pearl?” That person asked Di Jiu about the Sacred Yin Pearl’s whereabouts anxiously right after he landed on his ship.

The Heavenly Aqua Saber appeared in Di Jiu’s hand as he said, “The Sacred Yin Pearl belongs to me. You don’t have to worry about it.”

The person on his ship was a normal-looking, middle-aged man who looked just like a butler. However, Di Jiu knew very well who he was. He was the weak Principal Spirit that he had saved.

He was actually impressed that the weak Principal Spirit had found the materials necessary and somewhat restored his body in no more than a year.

Di Jiu didn’t dare give the skeleton in his Quintessential World to this man. He was well-versed in the Heaven Earth Law, so he could tell that this man was incredibly strong, even though he appeared to be an ordinary man without any cultivation level.

Even though he had barely managed to restore his body, Di Jiu was getting a feeling that he was already much stronger than Xiling Yuanyi. If he gave him his actual body, he would probably be able to kill him in a split second before he could even execute the Spiritual Force escape technique.

“I know…” The man rubbed his head and replied awkwardly, “I suspect that the Sacred Yin Pearl has something to do with my memories. Lend me the pearl for a few days so that I can figure it out.”

Di Jiu rejected his request without hesitation. “My Sacred Yin Pearl has nothing to do with your memories. However, if you trust me, I have a way to help you restore your memories.”

“Can you really help me restore my memories?” The man stared at Di Jiu excitedly. He was overjoyed to hear that.

Di Jiu nodded and replied, “What would be in it for me if I lied to you? Didn’t you regain freedom because of my help? Didn’t I give you a ball of pure Chaotic Yin Qi when you restored your Principal Spirit? If I say so, I mean it. At the very least, I’d be able to find out your name, how you got here, and why you were here.”

“Yes, yes, you’re right. Without your help, I’d still be imprisoned in that corner by the Sacred Yin Pearl’s Yin Qi. What do I need to do?” The man rubbed his hands together, getting increasingly excited.

Di Jiu, who was delighted to hear his reply, said, “You just have to follow me and kick the butt of anyone who tries to hurt me.”

“You want me to be your bodyguard?” The man instantly realized what Di Jiu’s intention was.

Di Jiu replied flatly, “It’s okay if you don’t want to. I don’t care if you do. Let’s just say that I was being kind-hearted when I helped you. Bye.”

In fact, Di Jiu’s impression of this fellow was already pretty decent, as he hadn’t forced him to hand over the pearl. Di Jiu would return his actual body to him once he was stronger.

“Wait!” the man called out anxiously when he saw that Di Jiu was about to leave.

“Speak. What do you want?” Di Jiu opened his hand and held on to the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind his back.

The man rubbed his hand and said, “I can be your bodyguard, but you can’t ask me to follow you around forever, okay? Also, you have to help me with a few things in order for me to do that. First, I keep feeling that my body could be retrieved, so you need to help me with that. Second, like you said, you need to find out more about my past. Third, if you don’t fulfill the first conditions within 100 years, you’ll have to give me the Sacred Yin Pearl for a while so that I can figure some things out.”

Di Jiu nodded and said, “Okay, it’s a deal. I may not be aware of your past, but I can definitely find out your name and why you came to the Lunar Immortal Sea. Furthermore, you are not my bodyguard. This is a partnership. Do you understand that? It’s a partnership. Last but not least, don’t keep mentioning the Sacred Yin Pearl.”

“Yeah, a partnership. I like the sound of that. I promise I won’t mention that name again.” The man nodded in satisfaction.

“I’ll call you Xiao Da from now on. My name is Di Jiu. I am going to execute an escape technique now, so you need to follow me closely. If you lose track of me, don’t blame me for not helping you.” Di Jiu executed the Spiritual Force escape technique right after he said that. He also intended to test how strong Xiao Da currently was.

When Di Jiu executed the Spiritual Force escape technique and went past the shore of the Lunar Immortal Sea, not a single person spotted him.

Di Jiu got out of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb in just a few days and relaxed completely the moment he exited the tomb.

He escaped into the void before any cultivators could stop him to ask questions.

Boom! An invisible force stopped Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force escape technique and he fell down.

“Ha ha… Manager Di, it’s so hard to see you.” Di Jiu heard someone laughing before an obese man descended in front of him.

Di Jiu tried to move, but his heart sank. This fellow was as strong as Xiling Yuanyi. He hadn’t expected that an Immortal Emperor would be so cunning as to hide and set up a concealed Heaven Locking Array. He had been in a hurry to get out of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, so he hadn’t been on guard anymore. After all, this place was not part of the tomb.

His slight negligence had resulted in the current situation. If he hadn’t been trapped, Di Jiu believed that this fatty would never have caught up with his Spiritual Force escape technique.

“Who are you?” Di Jiu asked when he regained his composure. The Heavenly Aqua Saber was buzzing behind his back.

The obese man chuckled and said, “I am Fang Feilou, the Guild Master of the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce. I believe that manager Di has heard of us before.”

Fang Feilou dared to claim that Di Jiu had heard of them before because the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce was the top chamber of commerce in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent. It was also considered one of the three biggest chambers of commerce in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He was also an expert at the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. The sole reason he had hidden here for several years was to capture Di Jiu.

Di Jiu sneered and said, “I have actually never heard of the so-called Vitrail Chamber of Commerce before. If you want a fight, bring it on.” As Di Jiu said that, his Heavenly Aqua Saber unleashed a saber flare that was several hundred feet long. The saber swing crossed the void in no time and crashed against Fang Feilou’s domain.

Fang Feilou’s lips curled into a mocking smile. He believed that ignorance was the foundation of Di Jiu’s fearlessness.
