Ninth In the World

Chapter 455 - The Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron


Chapter 455: The Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron

Jie Di’s killing aura did not affect Di Jiu in the least, as it was blocked by Zhong Ao before it could reach Di Jiu and disappeared into thin air.

Jie Di’s heart sank. Even though he had the strength of a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor, he doubted whether he was Zhong Ao’s match. He did not dare be reckless with such a top-notch expert at Di Jiu’s side, and Ye Xi was not speaking up for him.

In Di Jiu’s opinion, Ye Xi was a scheming person that was not as simple as he looked. The fake Green Lotus Flag Ye Xi had taken out could pass off as a genuine one, and it was highly likely he was targeting the White Cloud Bound Flag he had.

What puzzled him was that although he thought Ye Xi would fix his attention on him, he seemed to observe a long-bearded sixth-stage Immortal Emperor instead.

“Palatial Lord Ye, I have a cauldron but I’m also unable to refine it. My cauldron is definitely not a counterfeit but a genuine cauldron I bought. I don’t refine pills, but if you are interested, we can trade.” A seventh-stage Immortal Emperor wearing a yellow robe laughed and lifted his hand to grab a cauldron.

Ordinary cauldrons were three-legged, but this one was five-legged.

Di Jiu knew this was no ordinary cauldron, so his Spiritual Force landed on the Book of the World.

What surprised him was that there was a page in the Book of the World in the shape of this cauldron, which was called Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron.

This was definitely a quality item. Otherwise, it would not be in the Book of the World.

Its name was in the introduction at the back of the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron. It had been created by Heaven and Earth after the universe had been created and it was able to transform anything and bear Yin and Yang.

This was apparently a divine cauldron used to refine weapons. Thus, Di Jiu decided to purchase the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron to refine pills. He was a grade-eight Immortal Alchemy Supremacy. but he unfortunately did not have a good cauldron. The reason the man in the yellow robe had taken this cauldron out was definitely because he was not able to distinguish whether Ye Xi’s Green Lotus Flag was real or fake.

Ye Xi was looking at the long-bearded sixth-stage Immortal Emperor. From the looks of it, he seemed to want the man’s treasure.

As soon as the man in the yellow robe had taken out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron, Ye Xi’s eyes had filled with excitement. However, this excitement was only momentary. If Di Jiu had not set up so many Nomological Array flags in the vicinity, he would not have sensed it.

Ye Xi seemed like he was going to speak, but Di Jiu suddenly said first, “Fellow Daoist, Palatial Lord Ye’s Green Lotus Flag is 100% fake. I’ve taken a look at it. I have what you need here, and this is certainly a fair trade.”

Di Jiu immediately grabbed a jade bottle and threw it to the man in the yellow robe.

He wanted the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron badly. Otherwise, he would not have thrown his things to someone else first. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force kept setting up Nomological Array flags and was very sensitive to the surrounding fluctuation. He felt that the Spiritual Sea of the man in the yellow robe seemed to have problems, as it was not fluctuating continuously.

When Di Jiu said his flag was fake and took out something for the other party, Ye Xi’s face fell and he said in a cold tone, “Alchemy Emperor Di, even though I’m not sure whether my treasure is the Green Lotus Flag, isn’t it presumptuous to say that it’s fake after just scanning it?”

Di Jiu laughed. “Ye Xi, you can deceive the others, but not me. I have the White Cloud Bound Flag on me. If you don’t believe me, you can have a scan.”

Di Jiu grabbed the White Cloud Bound Flag and brought it forward. Jie Di had asked Di Jiu to take this flag out previously but had been mocked by him. Now that Di Jiu took the initiative to take it out, Jie Di’s expression became dark and ugly. This was not because Di Jiu had refused to take it out, but because Jie Di did not have the right to ask him to do so.

Dozens of Spiritual Forces landed on Di Jiu’s White Cloud Bound Flag. According to a saying, an item’s true value could only be determined through comparison.

Nobody had seen the Five-Element Flag before, so they were not sure whether the Green Lotus Flag Ye Xi had taken out was real. However, when Di Jiu took out his White Cloud Bound Flag for everyone to casually scan it, they could tell that Di Jiu’s item was a real flag while Ye Xi’s Green Lotus Flag was somewhat strange. Their auras were the same, but one of the Dao runes was really different.

This also meant that what Di Jiu had said was most likely the truth.

“They are too far apart. I can’t differentiate.” A handprint grabbed for the White Cloud Bound Flag in front of Di Jiu.

Di Jiu sneered and immediately drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber. At the same time, he said, “Old Zhong…”

Without even telling him, Zhong Ao’s aura bound the other party’s handprint and Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on it.

Even Fang Feilou did not dare touch Zhong Ao’s aura. After recuperating for a while, Zhong Ao’s aura had become even more formidable. The Immortal Emperor who had grabbed onto Di Jiu’s White Cloud Bound Flag had merely broken through level seven. After he was locked by Zhong Ao’s domain killing aura, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on his arms.

When the thin, weak man in black who had tried to steal Di Jiu’s White Cloud Bound Flag was locked by Zhong Ao’s domain killing aura, he felt uneasy. However, Di Jiu’s Saber Move was too fast. His arm was chopped by Di Jiu before he could break free from Zhong Ao’s domain killing aura.

The expression of the man in black changed, and he reached to grab his arm back. Without the slightest hesitation, Di Jiu made use of two Nomological Array flags. The arm broke free from the domain of the man in black and blew up into a mist of blood.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” The man in black suddenly stood up and stared at Di Jiu with a pale face.

Di Jiu would have made a move if the formidable Zhong Ao hadn’t been by his side.

“Don’t take anything that’s not yours. Otherwise, your claws will be broken off,” Di Jiu said softly.

There were too many people around today, and Di Jiu still wanted to save the Elixir Association’s Guild Master, Qu Hen. Otherwise, he would have made a move. Since there were so many people present, not only did he want to make a move on Ye Xi, but he also wanted to save someone. He needed an adequate reason. Di Jiu reckoned that Ye Xi had an intention similar to his. Ye Xi wanted to finish him off here and he should also want the whole world to know that he had to kill Di Jiu.

Of course, Di Jiu was sure that Ye Xi had not made a move yet because he had other motives. As for what motives he had, he was not very sure yet. Ye Xi most likely did not want to kill him but to imprison him. He wanted to force out the secrets in him and have him refine pills especially for him.

Ye Xi’s complexion turned cold. “Alchemy Emperor Di, you are really ruthless. He Yi only wanted to have a look at it, but you crippled one of his arms. That is too much.”

“He can take a look at someone else’s things with that person’s approval. According to you, Palatial Lord Ye, I could examine your ring directly without asking you?” Di Jiu asked him sarcastically.

Ye Xi snorted and immediately glanced at the man in the yellow robe. “Insular Lord Yong, I can trade with you if you want my Green Lotus Flag.”

Di Jiu was a dead person in his eyes. Why should he hold this against him?

Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary Landlord He Yi was very disappointed after having an arm crippled by Di Jiu. He had the strength of a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor and had thought that Di Jiu would not react in time if he made a move all of a sudden. As long as he stole the White Cloud Bound Flag, he could just fabricate a reason and Di Jiu would not be able to take it back.

He had not expected to fail and even lose an arm. Most importantly, Ye Xi did not have any intention of standing up for him. He had only acted based on his opinion. The Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary was Ye Xi’s business, so he had made that move earlier for Ye Xi. Ye Xi had told him previously that he could make a sudden move when needed.

If Di Jiu had not taken out the White Cloud Bound Flag, the man in yellow would have definitely traded with Ye Xi. He had taken out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron to trade it with the Green Lotus Flag. However, when he saw Di Jiu take out his White Cloud Bound Flag, although he was not sure whether the Green Lotus Flag was fake, he was unwilling to trade a treasure like his Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron with something uncertain.

Di Jiu did not know the man in yellow. Therefore, before the man in yellow could answer Ye Xi, he opened his mouth and said, “Insular Lord Yong, you can try the elixir pill I have given you.”

He believed that, as long as he was not an idiot, he would not trade with Ye Xi after he had taken out his White Cloud Bound Flag.

The man in yellow told Ye Xi apologetically, “Palatial Lord Ye, even though I really want the Green Lotus Flag, I think that I could not refine something that even you were unable to.”

If he had not urgently needed one of the Five-Element Flags, he would not have taken out his Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron in a hurry.

Ye Xi’s face fell, but he did not answer.

The man in yellow knew he could not trade with Di Jiu, but Di Jiu was also ruthless. Even if he was not going to trade with Di Jiu, he could not ignore his words. Thus, he took the initiative to open the jade bottle he had been given and take the only Spiritual River Pill out.

Before the elixir pill entered his mouth, he could feel a cold sensation in his Spiritual Sea. He was completely shaken. Could this be the elixir pill that could recover one’s Spiritual Sea? He had never seen such an elixir pill in the Immortal World!
