Chapter 524: Who Is the Fourth Person

Di Jiu refined six nine-patterned Emperor Gamma Pills in half an hour and inserted them into the stone gates leading to the fourth floor of the Dai He Hall.

There was a series of rumbling sounds before the fourth floor of the Dai He Hall opened.

72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians were placed in the hall, aligning with Di Jiu’s prediction.

Di Jiu had yet to enter the main gates of the Dai He Hall when he was enveloped by boundless Heaven Earth Essence Energy. The level of this Essence Energy was inferior to the Green Essence Energy Meridian, but he felt refreshed because this Heaven Earth Essence Energy had been created with many supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians gathered at the same place.

These supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians were exactly what Di Jiu needed the most. By taking one step forward, he stepped into the center of the Dai He Hall.

Placed in the very center of the 72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians was a box.

Di Jiu immediately became excited when he spotted the box. In the hall on the third floor, he had obtained a Five-Element escape technique. Since this box was on the fourth floor, its contents had to be better than the escape technique. The Five-Element escape technique was a third-stage escape technique, so if this was better than the escape technique…

Di Jiu increasingly felt that he had made the correct decision by coming here.

He did not consider the supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians his first priority. Instead, he grabbed the box and opened it. He was anxious to know what was inside the box.

A Dao force, unseen by the naked eye and the Spiritual Force, enveloped Di Jiu instantly when the box was opened.

In a moment, the Dao pattern had already permeated all his meridians. His Spiritual Sea was no exception. While this happened, a mysterious, esoteric cultivation technique was automatically carved within his Spiritual Sea. This was only possible because Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea was powerful. Otherwise, he would have fainted.

Then, an imposing voice came from the depths of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea. “It is very impressive that you reached the last hall of the Dai He Hall. I will take you in as my fifth disciple. As for the cultivation technique, I have just imparted it to you. It will depend on you, and not on me, how far you might go. Treat these supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians as a welcoming gift from me to you.”

“Should there come a day when you cultivate the ninth-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, you will qualify to meet me. Inside the jade box are two talismans, one white and one black. Crush the white talisman and four people will come here to find you. Once the five of you enter the Dai He Hall, crush the black talisman and you will all ascend to the Dao World, where you can meet me. I am called Jiang Dai and I am your Master. Remember this.”

Jiang Dai. It was Jiang Dai.

He now understood that Jiang Dai had constructed the Dai He Hall, whose purpose was to collect the light shining on the Four Major Immortal Worlds from providence. However, why did Jiang Dai want to find a fifth person to crush the two talismans? Di Jiu was the fifth person Jiang Dai had found, but it seemed like he was unable to help the latter in any way.

Then, he stopped thinking about this mystery.

His body had already been invaded by a terrifying Dao pattern that was permeating his bones, flesh, and even Spiritual Sea with every passing moment.

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, so he was very familiar with the Heaven Earth Law.

He would become a natural puppet in the future when this Dao pattern completed the permeating process. He would retain the mobility and consciousness of an ordinary person, and even his ability to gain insight would not change. However, once the person who had cast this Dao pattern appeared, he would become a dog. No, he would be less than a dog, for a dog knew how to resist while the victim of this Dao pattern would lose all capability to resist.

Such a venomous fella… Di Jiu knew that he would have died if the Dao he was cultivating had not been the Nomological Dao. Even so, his future would have been bleak had he not encountered a similar Dao pattern before.

He had seen such a Dao pattern before on the Plane Split Talisman Guild Master Qu Hen from the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association had given him.

The Poison Dao pattern on that Plane Split Talisman had almost caused him to die in the void before he’d landed on Earth. It was because Nong Xiuqi had helped him perfect his Nomological Dao heart that he had been able to completely expel the Poison Dao pattern.

The Dao pattern he encountered now came from the same origin as the Poison Dao pattern he had encountered previously. However, compared to that Poison Dao pattern, this one was much more powerful.

Di Jiu took a deep breath and sat down on the floor as he started frantically completing Nomological Qi Circulations. In just one hour, he had already expelled the invisible Dao patterns. Then, Di Jiu took out some white jade and transferred them inside.

He felt relaxed upon accomplishing that.

How many years had he spent back then? He had only managed to remove one Poison Dao pattern while almost dying in the process. Now, however, he had removed all Dao patterns in one hour.

Perhaps, next time, all the Dao patterns would be destroyed without a trace with just a thought.

At the same time, Di Jiu understood the logic: He had to be cautious no matter what item he saw or how safe the place seemed to be. He should never rush up to the item so hastily again. The reason he had stayed alive today was because of his Nomological Dao and because he had been targeted by such a Dao pattern before. What if he encountered a different form of danger next time?

Di Jiu took out a jade box and placed the white jade inside after checking his body thoroughly multiple times and confirming that there were no issues. Then, he wrapped multiple layers of restrictions around the jade box and put it away.

All the 72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians were put by Di Jiu into his Ninth World unceremoniously.

Jiang Dai had said that one could see him once they cultivated up to the ninth-stage Immortal Emperor Realm. Di Jiu called it bullsh*t. One would definitely be able to cultivate to the ninth-stage Immortal Emperor Realm if they were able to reach the fourth floor of the Dai He Hall.

However, who were the other four people Jiang Dai was looking for? Could they be the four people gathering the light shining from providence?

After some thought, Di Jiu took out the white jade talisman and inspected it. He was certain of the identities of two people: Yi Mang and Li Lie. If he crushed this jade talisman, those he had yet to kill out of the four people would definitely appear here. After all, Jiang Dai would not have left the two jade talismans here if he had been incapable of such a feat.

However, Di Jiu felt that he should still be cautious. Hence, he placed the jade talisman on the fourth floor of the Dai He Hall, sealing the jade talisman within a nomological major array. Then, he set up a Nomological Trigger Array before dashing out of the Dai He Hall.

The Dai He Hall belonged to Jiang Dai. With this knowledge in mind, Di Jiu felt that every minute he was staying in the Dai He Hall was torture.

After leaving the Dai He Hall, he crushed the white jade talisman by controlling the nomological major array.

Boom! The void rumbled ferociously and a white light exploded during the boom. A teleportation whirlpool then appeared before Di Jiu.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace immediately.

Di Jiu felt that that bastard Jiang Dai was truly cunning. If he had really crushed the white jade talisman according to Jiang Dai’s instructions, he would have died. After all, he would have teleported instantly. There was absolutely no way he would have been able to wait for the other four people to arrive.

However, Di Jiu quickly sensed from the surrounding nomological aura of the Teleportation Array that he would similarly have been sucked into the array if the Dao pattern had remained in his body. This would have been the case even if he had used other methods to activate the white talisman.

Worried that someone would rush over and be sucked into the Teleportation Array, he set up a Nomological Defense Array around the area, thus preventing any outsider from entering the Teleportation Array. As for him, he waited outside the Teleportation Array to see who would be coming here.

If his guess was correct, the three people would be Ye Xi, Yi Mang, and Li Lie. So who was the fourth person?
