Chapter 625: Di Jiu Is Not Pleased

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After refining 1,000 middle-grade saber weapons, Di Jiu could not stand staying inside the Ninth World any longer and left.

Once again, while he was dashing toward the stairway to the fourth level, the unknown terrifying force of the fifth level caused him to spat out several mouthfuls of blood. Many of his rib bones broke into several pieces. This level of injury seemed severe, but it was nothing due to the Sacred Body Di Jiu had.

Fortunately, Di Jiu could be considered safe when he reached the fourth level of the Vast Ruins. Thanks to his Sacred Body Realm and the Nomological Dao he was cultivating, he could stay on the fourth level effortlessly.

Di Jiu anxiously wanted to search for a place to break through to the Dao Transformation Realm. Therefore, he was not in the mood to find the quality items in the Vast Ruins’s fourth level no matter how many there were.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks when he reached the stairway connecting the third and fourth level, as he had sensed that something was amiss. Then, his Spiritual Force landed on the stairway.

There was nothing on the stairway. A sweep of his Spiritual Force showed that nothing was amiss.

Di Jiu opened his Dao eye and the results were the same.

Even though there was nothing wrong, Di Jiu grew cautious. He sensed that someone had been here, but who could it be? Even a Primordial Chaos expert would have difficulty reaching the fourth level if they did not possess a Sacred Body.

After reaching the third level from the fourth level, Di Jiu used his maximum speed and returned to the Dao fruit garden, where he had uprooted the Dao fruit trees previously.

He did not need to use his Spiritual Force or his Dao eye to sense that someone was looking for him. All he did was stand outside the Invisibility Dharma Array. That person had come through the Dao fruit garden as well.

Only he and Yu Qianxi were aware of the existence of the Dao fruit garden. He certainly had not leaked any information about it and he believed Yu Qianxi had not either.

This meant that his previous guess had been correct. An expert had sensed it when he had taken away the Chaos Qi and had found this place. However, Di Jiu had been very cautious and had escaped directly to the Vast Ruins’ fifth level. That person had found the entrance to the fourth level but had not entered, most likely because he’d assumed that Di Jiu would not be able to survive on the fourth level. Heading up to the fifth level was out of the question.

Now that Di Jiu knew that someone was searching for him, he became even more cautious and did his best to merge the nomological escape technique with the surrounding fragmented laws. One month later, Di Jiu stopped outside the exit of the third level, which led to the second level.

As a level-four Divine Array King, he could set up a Divine Array close to level six by using the Five-Element Flags. He was also able to identify that someone had set up an extremely concealed Surveillance Array here.

Di Jiu sneered. The fella who had set up this Surveillance Array was a Divine Array King as well and he most likely had assumed that Di Jiu would at most be a level-three Divine Array Master. Therefore, a level-five Invisibility Divine Array had been used.

Di Jiu’s guess was right. In Jiang Dai’s opinion, Di Jiu’s Array Dao cultivation could not be higher than a level-three Divine Array Master’s. The reason he had been able to open the Invisibility Array concealing the Chaos Qi on the third level was because Di Jiu relied on the Five-Element Flags. Jiang Dai suspected that Di Jiu had already completely refined his Five-Element Flags.

Di Jiu left the invisible Surveillance Array where it was, for he had many ways of evading it.

Unfortunately, his current Array Dao skills were inferior to the person who had set up that invisible Surveillance Array. Otherwise, he would definitely have set up a Counter-Surveillance Array to see the bastard who was looking for him.

There was an invisible Surveillance Array between the third and second level, which meant that there was surely one between the second and first level. As expected, that was what he discovered.

Di Jiu evaded that invisible Surveillance Array once more and quickened his pace. He had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Half a month later, he stopped some distance away from the Vast Ruins’ array door. His Spiritual Force had already scanned the place and detected a Dao Transformation cultivator standing guard outside. Without a doubt, the person this cultivator was waiting for was Di Jiu.

Should he dash out, or should he disguise himself and then head out?

To Di Jiu, the second option posed no challenge. The nomological disguise technique he possessed was definitely not something an ordinary Dao Transformation cultivator could see through.

All he needed to do was find a random cultivator on the first level and disguise himself as that person.

However, Di Jiu quickly made the decision not to disguise himself. After all, it would be impossible for a mere Dao Transformation cultivator to intercept him. Still, he was curious to know who had sent this Dao Transformation cultivator here.

Di Jiu held onto four Five-Element Flags and swaggered out of the array door of the Vast Ruins. That Dao Transformation cultivator recognized Di Jiu only when he’d walked out of the array door. Then, he exclaimed, “It is you!”

When he’d stayed there, Jiang Dai had instructed him to investigate the background and destination of every cultivator that exited the place.

In addition, Jiang Dai had handed two portraits to him, one of Di Jiu and one of a disguised middle-aged Itinerant Cultivator Di Jiu had posed as when he had been with Yu Qianxi.

The Dao Transformation cultivator was ecstatic when he saw that the person coming out of the array door was the middle-aged Itinerant Cultivator. He had waited here for more than a decade. In truth, he would not have been willing to do something as mind-numbing as this if the Hall Master had not instructed him to do so.

“That’s right. You finally caught me. Congratulations!” Di Jiu laughed. As he spoke, he threw out the four Five-Element Flags and a bunch of confinement array flags.

The Dao Transformation cultivator lifted his hand and a flying sword shot out from it. He might believe that he could kill Di Jiu easily, but the Hall Master had clearly instructed him to send a flying sword communication slip to him immediately the moment Di Jiu exited this place.

Bam! The flying sword was captured by the space-sealing array Di Jiu had just set up. Then, Di Jiu grabbed this flying sword and threw it into the Ninth World.

“Which bastard were you going to send this message to?” Di Jiu opened his palm and the Heavenly Aqua Saber appeared on it.

The Dao Transformation cultivator stared at Di Jiu in shock. “You can block my flying sword?”

“Bastard, who are you?” bellowed Di Jiu.

“Humph! So what if you blocked the flying sword? You’re a mere Dao Birth…” The Dao Transformation cultivator suddenly stopped speaking. He had just sensed that Di Jiu was a Dao Birth cultivator, so why was he unable to sense his cultivation level?

“Eat this!” Di Jiu took one step and the space disappeared instantly. A moment later, terrifying saber intent had locked onto the Dao Transformation cultivator.

The Dao Transformation cultivator was scared out of his wits, as he had not expected Di Jiu to be so powerful. An ordinary-looking saber move had actually managed to lock the space he was in.

The battle had yet to officially start, yet he already knew that he was not Di Jiu’s match simply based on that saber move.

“Hold on! Hall Master Jiang instructed me to stay here. If you attack me…”

As he spoke, the Dao Transformation cultivator moved to take his Dharma treasure out.

Boom! The Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed down without mercy. The Dao Transformation cultivator had yet to even completely take out his Dharma treasure when he was pushed to the side by the impact. Then, a bloody mist exploded due to the Heavenly Aqua Saber’s flare. The Dao Transformation cultivator was sliced into two by Di Jiu.

A Dao Transformation Sacred Emperor was unable to even survive against one saber move from Di Jiu. Di Jiu realized how much he had improved then, which increased his want and urgency to attain the Dao Transformation. Once he did, one saber move of his could kill a Primordial Dao cultivator.

Di Jiu threw a ball of fire at the corpse of the Dao Transformation cultivator, burning it into nothing. After contouring his face shape, he disguised himself as this Dao Transformation cultivator.

Without a doubt, the ‘Hall Master Jiang’ mentioned was Jiang Dai. Di Jiu was not pleased. He had just arrived at the Dao World and Jiang Dai was opposing him everywhere. He had issued an arrest warrant and even followed him to the Vast Ruins. If Di Jiu chose not to do something about it, that bastard would continue thinking that Di Jiu was an easy target to bully.

Di Jiu had originally wanted to attain the Primordial Dao Realm first before heading out to destroy Jiang Dai’s old nest, the Dai He Hall. However, he could not wait any longer. He would not mind uprooting the Dai He Hall now if Jiang Dai was not there.

After all, he had already provoked Jiang Dai’s wrath. He refused to believe that he could not handle Jiang Dai, who was only one person. Even though he was unable to exact complete revenge now, he was still capable of collecting some interest first.
