Chapter 499: 499
On the South Elixir Mountain, Shen Ziyu was looking a little pale . Only she knew that the lack of color on her face was not because of fear, but because of the injuries she had sustained . They had been caused by Di Jiu .
She had already begged Di Jiu, but he had not even bothered to reply to her message .
“Everyone, please be careful . They were killed by that demon beast here previously,” cautioned Luo Weike solemnly as he unsheathed his scimitar .
The three of them carefully crossed the uneven valley . Soon, they were stupefied . Before them lay a huge demon beast in a pool of blood . Its head had been chopped into half .
“It’s really dead…” muttered Tang Xueshan in disbelief .
Everyone was similarly stunned . How could this be possible? How had Di Jiu managed to accomplish such a feat? When had he killed this demon beast?
A long moment passed before Luo Weike stepped forward to carefully scrutinize the dead demon beast’s head . The observation lasted several minutes before he exclaimed, “This demon beast was killed in the past three hours! The fatal blow was caused by a saber swing, and it was attacked face-on . It did not even have a chance of resisting . ”
Everyone stared at each other silently after hearing what Luo Weike said . That sounded outrageous . It was beyond their imagination .
“I think that we have misunderstood Senior Di . But… But…” Tang Xueshan knew that they had most likely misunderstood Di Jiu, but this situation did not make sense .
Shen Ziyu recalled seeing Di Jiu at the Wang Chuan Mountain Range that year . He had killed the rouge tiger demon beast and left silently . She suddenly felt that she had wronged Di Jiu again .
Perhaps Di Jiu’s impression of her was worsening…
…
With a wave of his hand, six crystal-clear Emperor Gamma Pills appeared on Di Jiu’s open palm . Three of them were high-class, while the other three were special-class . This was the first cauldron of elixir pills he had refined, yet he had already refined special-class grade-nine immortal pills . It would only be a matter of time until he refined nine-patterned pills . This was why Di Jiu’s Alchemy Dao was different from the rest .
His Alchemy Dao was used to refine top-notch elixir pills or no pills at all .
In the next two weeks, Di Jiu continuously perfected his Alchemy Dao while repeatedly refining various grade-nine immortal pills .
The pill inscriptions on the grade-nine immortal pills he refined gradually increased with time . Later on, almost every cauldron refined was filled with nine-patterned grade-nine immortal pills .
Nong Xiuqi’s aptitude had originally only been considered average . After Di Jiu had helped her create a Starry Sky meridian using the Ninth Dao Law, with sufficient cultivating resources, her cultivation had improved exponentially .
In less than a month, Nong Xiuqi had already reached the third-stage Qi Refinement Realm .
Di Jiu did not disturb Nong Xiuqi . He left behind a video message and exited the Earth’s atmosphere into the vast milky way .
He intended to search for a place to attempt to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm . This was because he dared not undergo Tribulation Transcendence on Earth . One wave of his Thunder Tribulation would suffice to completely destroy the planet given how powerful his Thunder Tribulation was .
Several days later, Di Jiu landed on an unknown, uninhabited planet . He most likely had left the milky way .
From here, the Earth should not be affected regardless of how powerful his Thunder Tribulation was .
There was an order in the Heaven Earth Law of each plane . Di Jiu had already left the milky way but he was still currently within the low-level plane .
Any expert who knew that Di Jiu wanted to transcend the Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation at such a low-level plane would probably be speechless .
A plane was low-level because one could not attain a higher cultivation level no matter how they cultivated . At the same time, cultivators from a higher-level plane who came to the low-level plane would be killed by the Heaven Earth Laws there .
The reason Di Jiu dared to transcend the Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation here was because he believed in his Dao law . His Dao differed from others’ . His Tribulation Transcendence relied more heavily on the power of the universe itself, thus stimulating his insight into the Dao law . He did not rely upon the Heaven Earth Law to achieve a breakthrough .
This was similar to how he had refined the grade-nine immortal pills . Some other Immortal Emperor expert might have been capable of controlling their body so that it would not be oppressed or disintegrated by the Heaven Earth Law . However, they would still not be able to refine any grade-nine immortal pills in the low-level planes .
These grade-nine immortal pills would immediately be oppressed by the Heaven Earth Law before being pulverized the moment they were successfully refined .
All this did not apply to Di Jiu . He used his own law to condense a Heaven Earth Law before refining grade-nine immortal pills under the latter’s influence .
Now that he intended to attain the Immortal Emperor Realm, he would be using the same method .
He took out a few dozens of high-grade immortal meridians and the five-feet-long Green Essence Energy Meridian . Then, he set up a Spirit-Gathering Array on this planet .
With each Nomological Qi Circulation, a spiritual aura whirlpool formed as the dense Essence Energy on the planet swiftly gathered around Di Jiu .
This whirlpool quickly transformed into an independent nomological space where Di Jiu’s stagnant cultivation level finally started to rise .
At the moment, Di Jiu was very calm . He did not attempt to feel for the barrier of the Immortal Emperor Realm, as he believed that the shackles would naturally break once his cultivation increased to a certain extent .
…
When Nong Xiuqi tried to take more Grain Abstinence Elixirs, she discovered that she had run out of these elixir pills . After being in seclusion for two years, she had just attained the Foundation Establishment Realm .
However, two years had passed and Di Jiu had yet to return . She was starting to miss him .
Di Jiu had left behind a video crystal ball and told her to leave the Earth to search for another place and advance . He would definitely come back after one year or several years at the latest . However, she was still worried about his safety .
She still possessed many cultivating resources and she had no intention of continuing to stay in seclusion . Di Jiu had told her before that solely entering reclusive cultivation was not the best method to increase one’s cultivation .
A cultivator needed to frequently head out and put themselves to the test . It was only after they had experienced various dangers and undergone different situations that their cultivation would stabilize . Their state of mind would strengthen as well .
Nong Xiuqi believed that it was about time that she put herself to the test given her current strength .
“Senior Shen, why are you here?” Nong Xiuqi saw Shen Ziyu the moment she came out . The latter had been living in a hut built outside the Wang Chuan Temple . Seeing how skinny Shen Ziyu was, it was evident that she had been here for quite some time .
“Xiuqi!” called Shen Ziyu, her gaze landing on the misty major array behind Nong Xiuqi .
Nong Xiuqi was quite smart, so she immediately understood that Shen Ziyu was here to look for Di Jiu .
“Senior Shen, did you come here to look for Big Brother?” inquired Nong Xiuqi hastily .
Shen Ziyu nodded . “That’s right . How has Di Jiu been?”
She refused to believe that Di Jiu would not know that she was here . It was clear that Di Jiu no longer had any feelings for her since he had not welcomed her inside during the six months that she had been here . After all, Di Jiu had been aware of her presence .
Nong Xiuqi hastily replied, “Senior Shen, Big Brother left two years ago . He has yet to return . ”
“Di Jiu headed out?” Shen Ziyu felt better after hearing this . She would have felt very upset if Di Jiu had been here and made her wait in the hut outside for more than half a year . The fact that Di Jiu was ignorant about her arrival placated her .
“Yeah, Big Brother hasn’t returned since he last headed out . He said that he would come back in a few years . ” Nong Xiuqi was worried about Di Jiu but she had a feeling that Di Jiu was alright .
“Xiuqi, don’t address me as ‘Senior’ from now on . I am indeed older than you, but you’re Di Jiu’s wife . In the past, Di Jiu and I came from the same generation . If you want to, you may call me Big Sister instead,” instructed Shen Ziyu warmly .
Nong Xiuqi was stunned . Shen Ziyu was well-known worldwide . Now that the latter had allowed the former to address her so informally, she felt honored .
“I have stayed alone at the Valley Ocean in the past few years and have indeed been lonely . I don’t have many friends, perhaps because I’m not an eloquent speaker…”
Shen Ziyu had yet to finish speaking before Nong Xiuqi hastily waved her hand . “That’s not it . I actually think that Big Sister Ziyu is a very approachable person . ”
Shen Ziyu was delighted when she heard Nong Xiuqi call her Big Sister Ziyu . She approached her and grabbed hold of her hand . “Xiuqi, where do you intend to head to? You have been in seclusion for a very long time . This should be the first time you came out, right?”
“No, I’ve come out quite a few times . ” Nong Xiuqi recalled the few times she had come out to test her flying sword and flying Dharma treasures . However, these things seemed to not be considered ancient martial arts, so she did not elaborate . “I sensed that the improvements in my strength were drastic during the period I was in seclusion . Big Brother is not around, so I am feeling very bored . Therefore, I intend to head out for some training . ”
Upon hearing that Nong Xiuqi wanted to head out for a trial, Shen Ziyu chirped happily, “Let’s head to the Grain Sector Forest then . There are many ferocious beasts and demon beasts there . I heard that there is even a type of bird demon we could rear as our own mount if we could obtain an egg . ”
“Ah!” exclaimed Nong Xiuqi . She owned a flying Dharma treasure . However, it would be delightful if she could obtain a bird-type beast companion she could use as a mount .
Then, she realized something . “Big Sister Ziyu, you are intending to come along?”
