Chapter 671: 671
Ji Hongsen chuckled and told the rest of the cultivators, “Everyone should offer something up since Daoist Di put so much effort in analyzing the array patterns . A couple of the Primordial Dao fruits is nothing much . I believe that everyone has something they have no use for, right?”
“Ha ha… That is right . I have two Profound Linear Wolfberry Fruits here . ” Ma Jujia was the first to agree with Ji Hongsen before taking out the two Primordial Dao fruits that were virtually useless to second-step Dao Validation cultivators .
Di Jiu naturally was aware of Ji Hongsen’s ulterior motive . This suggestion had not been made out of goodwill to help him obtain Dao fruits . Rather, Di Jiu would most likely be surrounded and attacked to death if he accepted the Dao fruits but did not successfully break open the array . Besides, everyone here was a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, which meant that they certainly owned some trashy Primordial Dao fruits . Some of these Primordial Dao fruits were inferior to even Dao Modeling Dao fruits .
Even if Di Jiu accepted the Dao fruits and successfully opened the array pattern, it would still not be good for him . He would become everyone’s target once he entered the array pattern .
Despite knowing Ji Hongsen’s motive, he accepted all the trashy Primordial Dao fruits offered to him by the masses without hesitation .
He needed the Dao fruits so that he could break through and become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint . The quantity and not the quality was what mattered to him . As for his worry that he would provoke people by accepting these Dao fruits, he felt that it was a meaningless concern since he was already here .
Even Dark Red Sacred Dao City Lord Dao Chuanxun, who’d wanted to befriend Di Jiu, shook his head speechlessly upon seeing Di Jiu’s actions . He could not comprehend why Di Jiu would do such a thing . It would be understandable if these Dao fruits were useful . However, the Primordial Dao fruits Di Jiu accepted were all completely useless and there were only a couple of dozens of them in total .
It was not worth it, nor was it a wise move, to offend the experts present over these Dao fruits .
No one was thinking that Di Jiu would use these Primordial Dao fruits to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint . Assuming that one Dao fruit could be refined into one cauldron of Primordial Dao Dao pills, 18 such cauldrons could not allow one to break through and become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint .
The reason there were so few Primordial Dao Alchemy Saints was mainly because one needed a large amount of Primordial Dao fruits in order to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint . No matter how strong the perception of the Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint was, one should at least need a couple hundred Primordial Dao fruits .
These Primordial Dao fruits should also be valuable . Large amounts of supplementary divine spirit herbs were required as well .
Di Jiu did not know what the others were thinking . He had already taken out another handful of array flags and scattered them around . He was familiar with the array pattern, so it was quite a simple task to open the entrance of the array pattern .
In under half an hour, the eight-trigram array pattern suddenly split apart and a pitch-black array door appeared before everyone .
A majestic aura was exuded from the array door, which could not be permeated by Spiritual Force . Everyone then sensed some kind of Chaos Qi that could cleanse one’s Principal Spiritual Force and they took a deep breath subconsciously .
It had really opened? Everyone stared at the array door in excitement . No one had stepped through the array door yet, but everyone knew that they were one step closer to the Chaos Green Lotus .
Ji Hongsen was extremely excited as well, as he’d originally planned to use force . He hadn’t expected that Di Jiu would open this ancient eight-trigram array pattern in such a short time .
This deepened his wariness around Di Jiu, as he was certain that Di Jiu possessed a significant secret since the latter had been able to open this ancient array pattern entrance .
Ji Hongsen laughed as he stepped out of the crowd and mentioned nothing about Di Jiu’s contribution . Instead, he said, “Everyone, the Chaos Green Lotus is most definitely inside . Let us head in together . ”
Upon saying that, Ji Hongsen was the first person to enter, as though he was unwilling to waste his breath on the cultivators who did not want to enter . The rest of the cultivators hastily entered as well after Ji Hongsen . Some cultivators who originally had not wanted to come rushed inside without hesitation .
No one would want to take their time and lose out when faced with a Chaos aura that could cleanse one’s Principal Spirit . Any cultivator who cultivated the Primordial Chaos Realm killed many people and encountered countless life-and-death situations . They had not wanted to come previously because they had not known if there was really a treasure . Now that they had confirmed that there was a heaven-defying priceless treasure here, there was no way they would back out .
This was a rare opportunity . Only people who were brave enough to take risks could succeed in their future cultivation path .
Di Jiu thought he would once again be the last person to enter . However, he discovered that one person remained outside while everyone else had entered .
Narrow-eyed, sleepy-looking Gou Zibi looked at Di Jiu and said, “I seem to have underestimated you . You are very formidable . Your status has increased in my eyes . ”
Di Jiu replied nonchalantly, “Unfortunately, you are nothing to me . ”
Gou Zibi was a very sly person, but Di Jiu was not afraid of him . He had killed more than one mid-stage Primordial Chaos cultivator after all . Gou Zibi, who was only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm, was not a concern .
After saying that, Di Jiu was about to step through the array door .
“Hold up . ” Gou Zibi called out to Di Jiu before adding, ‘Daoist Di, there is indeed a Chaos Green Lotus if my theory is correct . Something like the Chaos Green Lotus will definitely not be easily obtained by anyone . Why don’t we let go of any past misgivings and join forces?”
Di Jiu laughed mockingly . “What makes you think that you are qualified to work with me? Come at me directly if you covet my possessions . Otherwise, don’t waste my time!”
Gou Zibi stared at Di Jiu for a long while before shaking his head . “I don’t understand how you managed to live to this day . ”
Gou Zibi could not be bothered to continue chatting with Di Jiu . Thus, he lifted his leg and stepped through the array door .
Di Jiu cursed loudly . “Those old fogies!”
Even as he cursed, he still had to take out array flags and set up an array . The people who had entered before him clearly knew that Di Jiu would stay behind to seal the area .
There was, in fact, nothing else Di Jiu could do . If he did not do that, the experts coming here would increase, thus decreasing his chances of obtaining any good loot .
Di Jiu stepped through the array door only after he had sealed the eight-trigram array pattern .
He felt a dizzy spell the moment he stepped through the array door and was shocked when he landed back on the ground .
An extremely beautiful green-leafed lotus floated less than 1,000 feet in front of him . It was nine feet tall, and its 12 lotus petals exuded dense Chaos Qi . Spiritual Force could not be used to scan the lotus . However, simply looking at it with naked eyes had a soothing effect on someone, as though the Heaven Earth Law became even more distinct .
Good stuff . This was not the Chaos Green Lotus, but it was still considered a top-notch priceless treasure .
There was a white lake that was shrouded in mist below the lotus . Spiritual Force could not permeate it .
The borders of the white lake were framed by a natural Defense Array formed from the merged flames . The level of this natural Defense Array was very high, and in Di Jiu’s opinion, it should be at least a level-nine Divine Array .
Such an array was something Di Jiu could not break open, even though he was currently a level-seven Divine Array Emperor .
The only way to open the Defense Array would be by force . This explained why Ji Hongsen would want to invite so many experts along . The 10 people present might not be able to break open this Defense Array, and even if it was possible, he did not know how long it would take .
“Daoist Di, could you open this Defense Array?” Fan Yuan from the Demon Clan grinned and looked at Di Jiu . His tone was soft and gentle .
Di Jiu replied coolly, “If I could, then no one would dare to single me out . ”
Fan Yuan ignored Di Jiu’s minor mockery . He believed that Di Jiu would not be able to accomplish such a feat . Perhaps, no one in this universe could break open this Defense Array by relying on Array Dao skills .
Natural Defense Arrays like this were different from the eight-trigram array pattern they had encountered before . Any array pattern could be opened with sufficient comprehension, or it would be even harder to break it open by force than natural Defense Arrays .
Di Jiu really could not open this Defense Array . However, he had vaguely sensed that the flame that constituted this Defense Array was extremely beneficial to his Dao fire . He had to find a spot to let his Dao fire absorb the flame while everyone else was attacking the Defense Array . He would decide depending on the situation .
“In that case, let us attack together . I predict that it will take us more than a month to open a Defense Array of this level . We have a total of 10 people here, so we will split into two groups…”
Di Jiu interrupted Ji Hongsen before the latter could finish his speech . “Insular Lord Ji, I expended too much energy earlier . In addition, my cultivation level is the lowest here . Therefore, I will not take part in the attack . ”
As he spoke, Di Jiu took out a crystal ball and repeatedly tossed it in the air .
Ji Hongsen’s face sank, as he knew very well what was recorded inside the crystal ball in Di Jiu’s hands: his promise to Di Jiu that he would not need to take part in attacking any Defense Arrays that appeared thereafter .
