Chapter 635: Opposite the Search Lake

“Brother Di, I’ve been living under a rock. If you hadn’t killed Feng Binglu powerfully today, I would probably have been killed by Shu Bu.” As Xue Yu stood on Di Jiu’s flying boat, he thanked him.

He had seen it clearly. If Di Jiu had been killed by Feng Binglu, Shu Bu would have made an excuse to kill him as well. However, he did not fear Shu Bu. It was just that Feng Binglu was on his side. Once he made a move, he would probably only face death.

Di Jiu replied with a smile, “Without me, Shu Bu would not have an excuse to make a move on you.”

Xue Yu shook his head. “It isn’t so. Even if nothing had happened today, I would not have stayed here anymore. I have an animosity towards Shu Bu and Yuan Hui. They are eyeing a territory of mine and will find me sooner or later…”

Then, Xue Yu paused and immediately said, “Brother Di, you can’t be so fast in the Search Lake. We are out of the safe zone, so we will easily encounter the spatial whirlpool before we are swept into it and we vanish.”

He was shocked by the speed of the flying boat that Di Jiu controlled, which was simply terrifying.

Even though he was fast when it came to chasing the Search Lake Mythical Bird, it was only within his area. He could not be that fast outside this area.

In fact, even if he was very slow, he would be swept away by the spatial dislocation at any time on the Search Lake.

Di Jiu explained, “I obtained a jade slip previously about leaving the Search Lake. However, I am the only one who can use this method. Even if other people are aware of it, they might not necessarily be able to do it.”

Di Jiu supposed that not many people could use that method to avoid spatial dislocation. He had the Dao eye and his Spiritual Force came from the Spiritual Force Training Art, which was only a simple foundation. All these years, he had changed the roots of his Spiritual Force Training Art by using his own technique.

Many ordinary Spiritual Forces could not touch space, but his Spiritual Force could already scan it.

“You know the way there?” Xue Yu’s voice trembled from excitement. Although he was willing to leave with Di Jiu, he did not believe he could get out with him.

He knew very well that Di Jiu had suppressed Shu Bu, who had not dared to budge. If Di Jiu left, he would suffer a calamity sooner or later.

Therefore, he had to leave with Di Jiu.

“Of course.” Di Jiu knew very well what Xue Yu was thinking. He wanted to bring Xue Yu out first. If Xue Yu was really unwilling to go out with him, he would have to kill Huang Quan and Shu Bu. Otherwise, he would harm Xue Yu. Since Di Jiu had been roaming, how could he not understand this?

Upon being reassured by Di Jiu, Xue Yu was really excited.

After going out of the Search Lake, it was rumored that one would have a chance to enter the Void Ocean.

The rumored Void Ocean contained too many opportunities. If he went to the Void Ocean, he might have a chance to advance again to the Primordial Dao Realm.

The Primordial Dao Realm was a realm he had yet to think of. Even though there were many Primordial Dao Realm cultivators in the Dao World, Primordial Dao Realm cultivators were simply very rare compared to the tremendous Dao Transformation community.

Upon sensing that Di Jiu was seriously controlling the flying boat, Xue Yu dared not talk to him. He only closed his eyes and started to make the best use of his time to cultivate.

Di Jiu was using his Spiritual Force Training Art to temper his Spiritual Force and he was controlling the flying boat to accelerate forward at the same time. He realized that if he travelled along the area where there were more spatial dislocations, the faster he went, the more the spatial dislocations would increase along the way.

It was evident that there were directions in this kind of spatial dislocation. The more they followed one direction, the more spatial dislocations there would be. However, his Spiritual Force could enter these spatial dislocations to temper.

At first, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force would be killed off once it entered. Later on, his Spiritual Force could be withdrawn and even pass through the spatial dislocations, thus allowing him to see the space in the other direction.

These improvements were definitely the fastest. In just dozens of days, Di Jiu could feel that his Spiritual Force had improved on a huge scale. Now, he could completely rely on his Spiritual Force and not on his Dao eye to clearly find the precise direction.

Unfortunately, his flying boat had a low level. Otherwise, he could have been even faster.

Five months later, Xue Yu awakened from his seclusion. When he opened his hands, he could immediately sense that the flying boat had gotten much faster than it had been three months ago. This speed was similar to a high-grade flying boat’s speed, although this was the Search Lake…

Xue Yu was aware that Di Jiu had really managed to find a way out of the Search Lake. Otherwise, there would have been problems if they had been going at this speed for three months continuously.

Xue Yu stopped cultivating and sensed that Di Jiu’s flying boat seemed to be accelerating from time to time. This was simply beyond his perception.

The reason that a middle-grade divine weapon flying boat was not worth as much as a high-grade flying boat was that it could never reach the speed of a high-grade flying boat. Furthermore, Di Jiu was controlling this flying boat and it was accelerating from time to time.

If a middle-grade flying boat could move forward at such a speed, who would still want a high-grade flying boat?

He did not know where Di Jiu had come from or why he was so formidable. Not only was his strength terrifying, but his survival capability was also very powerful. He was sure that Di Jiu was not at the Primordial Dao or even at the Dao Transformation.

How terrifying was the Search Lake? Even if Primordial Chaos experts went there, they would not dare say that they would pass through for sure. Now, Di Jiu was above the Search Lake, as if he was simply strolling.

As soon as Xue Yu thought about it, a ball of mist appeared in his Spiritual Force and his Spiritual Force was immediately blocked.

“Brother Di…” Xue Yu hurriedly stood up and cried out.

Di Jiu also slowed down the flying boat while his Spiritual Force spread out. He then shouted in pleasant surprise, “Brother Xue, if my guess is correct, we should have passed through the Search Lake!”

Meanwhile, Di Jiu accelerated the flying boat. In just a short time, the flying boat had rushed out of that ball of mist. When his Spiritual Force was clear, the flying boat left the Search Lake and landed on a black zone.

“Where is this?” Xue Yu looked at the scenery before him in amazement and saw a black zone. There was an area full of void outside the black zone, so his Spiritual Force could not scan the place at all.

Since Di Jiu was a level-four Divine Array King, he could see some boundaries after scanning the place with his Spiritual Force. He immediately sighed and said, “This should be the plane between the Dao World and the void. There is a Dao World Defense Array. Unfortunately, there is no problem with that. If anything happens, this place cannot stop anything at all.”

Di Jiu had set up the realm arrays. Thus, he knew very well what it meant if a plane had any problems. Even though the Dao World seemed fine now, if something happened to it, the Dao World would be exposed to the outside world without any barriers.

“That’s right. After the Search Lake should be the Dao World’s Defense Array. Then, we’ll encounter the void to the Void Ocean.” Xue Yu reacted as he spoke promptly.

Then, he cupped his fists before Di Jiu excitedly. “Brother Di, without you, I don’t know how many years I would have been trapped in the Search Lake.”

He did not express as many emotions as Di Jiu.

Di Jiu replied with a laugh, “Brother Xue, without you, I wouldn’t have been able to find this place. We should be helping each other.”

He knew what he was saying. If Xue Yu had not brought him to the trade meeting, where would he have gotten the jade slip that explained the way out of the Search Lake? Without this jade slip, he couldn’t have come here.

“Brother Di, where do you plan to go?” Xue Yu wished he could immediately rush into the void and search for the way to the Void Ocean. He was different from Di Jiu. Since he had been trapped in the Search Lake for so many years and could not budge, he wanted to go to the Void Ocean in a hurry.

Di Jiu muttered to himself for a while before saying, “I want to go to the Void Ocean. However, I don’t have the spatial locale map of it.”

“Since I don’t have it either, let’s go together. Let’s try our luck,” Xue Yu said promptly.

Di Jiu replied, “I’m afraid I can’t leave now. I’m slightly proficient in some Array Dao. There is certainly the Dao World’s Defense Array here, which has already been ripped apart. If I don’t mend it, there will be more lacerations on it after a long time.”

“Brother Di, you want to mend the Dao World’s Defense Array?” Xue Yu looked at Di Jiu with wide eyes in disbelief.

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right. I want to mend the Dao World’s Defense Array indeed.”

Di Jiu had checked long ago and he could not mend this Defense Array yet. However, as long as he advanced to a level-five Divine Array King, he would have the qualifications to mend it. He was only a step away from being a level-five Divine Array King and he still had the chance to advance to one here.

As for why he needed to mend this Defense Array, Di Jiu knew clearly how terrifying the void demon beasts were. Back then, without him, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and the Thunder Court Immortal Continent would have turned into nothing.

He was indeed the first one to arrive in the Dao World, but he had too many friends and relatives in the Immortal World. After those relatives and friends arrived in the Dao World, could they face the endless void demon beasts?

Even though the Search Lake was big and had too many void displacements, Di Jiu knew very well that compared to the earth-shattering attacks of the demon beasts, the Search Lake was not considered big. If by any chance this place was found by the void demon beasts, they would have groundless fears when entering the Dao World.

Moreover, he could mend the Dao World’s Defense Array as long as he became a level-five Divine Array King. If he did not mend it now, he might not necessarily be able to do so when he became a level-seven Divine Array Emperor. This was because this Defense Array was constantly crumbling outward. Even though it was very slow now, once it reached a certain level, it would crumble like an avalanche.
