“Are there Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruits here?” Di Jiu responded with a question.

The cultivator quickly explained, “Yes, someone just obtained a fruit last month. The armor I sell is specifically made to protect the wearer from the corrosive power inside the Glazed Heaven Cave. It’s even somewhat effective against the poison mist in the cave. Of course, I also have antidotes if you want some. The armor only costs 3,000 high-grade immortal crystals per piece…”

Di Jiu realized something was wrong when he heard that. He passed the cultivator 3,000 high-grade immortal crystals and said, “I’ll purchase a piece of armor. By the way, how can I obtain the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit?”

The cultivator immediately gave Di Jiu a piece of crappy armor when he took out the immortal crystals. With a bright smile, he answered, “You just have to put on the armor and enter the cave for a chance to obtain the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit…”

After half an hour, Di Jiu finally figured everything out.

The Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit was indeed on this island. However, he couldn’t obtain the fruit just by getting on the island. He needed to enter a place called the Glazed Heaven Cave.

A strong wind ran rampant in the Glazed Heaven Cave all year long. Usually, only body-tempering cultivators were capable of entering the cave. Even Immortal Emperors couldn’t last very long in the cave if their physical bodies weren’t as strong, unless they could protect themselves with divine powers or Dharma treasures.

If the strong wind was the only threat, it wouldn’t be a big problem. However, there was a terrifying corrosive mist in the cave as well. That mist could corrode any armor and, to make things worse, inhaling the corrosive mist would destroy both a cultivator’s physical body and Principal Spirit.

Despite that, some people still risked their lives by entering the cave in search of the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit.

That was because the fruit wasn’t affected by the corrosive mist and was also protected by a natural restriction. Therefore, the strong wind would sometimes blow a few fruits out. The cultivators who risked entering the cave would grab those fruits and immediately get out of the cave.

Despite the presence of the natural restriction, most of the fruits that the wind blew out were crushed. Only a small number of the fruits came out intact after they were caught by the wind.

After figuring this out, Di Jiu shook his head speechlessly when he looked at the armor in his hands. He could refine something better than this easily. Wearing a low-level armor like this inside the cave would be akin to committing suicide.

…

When Di Jiu reached the entrance of the Glazed Heaven Cave, there were at least several hundred people standing around. Some of them approached him immediately and started promoting all sorts of antidotes and armors, as well as jade slips containing tips on how to survive in the Glazed Heaven Cave.

The Glazed Heaven Cave wasn’t far from the crowd. The entrance was no more than ten feet wide, and the roars of the strong wind could be heard. However, Di Jiu found it peculiar that the wind formed a spiral at the entrance instead of rushing out of the cave. His Spiritual Force was reduced to nothingness by the wind as soon as it entered the cave.

Di Jiu was inwardly impressed. Even his condensed level-eight Immortal Force couldn’t last a second in the Glazed Heaven Cave. This showed that entering the cave in search of the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit was basically risking one’s life. Even the spiraling wind was enough to take the lives of the weaker cultivators, not to mention how terrifying the corrosive mist was.

“Fellow Daoist, I have been waiting around here for a couple of hours. Why has no one entered the cave?” Di Jiu couldn’t help asking a cultivator beside him after observing the situation for a long time.

The cultivator chuckled and replied, “Entering the cave now would be basically suicide. You can enter the cave after the seawater of the Lunar Immortal Sea submerges that rock. Both the poison mist and strong winds are at their weakest at that moment.”

Di Jiu looked in the direction the cultivator was pointing at and spotted a blue rock that was about five feet wide. It was half-blue and half-white, as it had been corroded by the Lunar Immortal Seawater for a long time.

The blue rock was still several dozen feet away from the Lunar Immortal Sea, sitting on the shore without anything sheltering it.

“Is there a pattern?” Di Jiu asked once again.

“No…” As soon as the cultivator said that, the Lunar Immortal Seawater started rising. Di Jiu watched as the seawater submerged the blue-white rock.

Then, Di Jiu saw a dozen cultivators rushing into the cave crazily. He watched from the sidelines instead of joining them.

After merely half an hour, about five or six people rushed out. Their faces were black as they sat down and started driving the poison out of their bodies as soon as they got out. No one could tell if they had obtained the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit.

At the moment, the sea level had already gone down and the blue rock was no longer submerged. However, no one else came out of the cave. Twelve cultivators had gone into the cave, but only six had come out. This meant that the rest had died inside the cave.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force swept past the six cultivators that had come out before he sighed inwardly. The path of cultivation was too long and difficult.

The six cultivators that had gotten out were at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, and he could tell from their aura that they were close to dying from old age. This meant that they had gone in the cave looking for the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit simply because they wanted their cultivation level to progress to the next stage. Even though they knew that they would most likely die in the cave, they had still wanted to fight one last time in their lives.

Di Jiu didn’t find them laughable, as he was going to enter the cave and take a gamble too.

Since he possessed the Ninth Dao Law, under normal circumstances, the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit wouldn’t be necessary for him to advance to the Immortal King Realm. However, no one could be certain about such a thing. After all, there was a significant gap between the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and the Immortal King Realm, which were fundamentally different. This gap wasn’t comparable to the progress made between the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm and the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. He didn’t want anything to go wrong while he was advancing to the Immortal King Realm.

Di Jiu waited for three days. When the blue rock was once again submerged by seawater, he rushed into the Glazed Heaven Cave without any hesitation along with several other cultivators.

The violent wind swept towards him as soon as he entered the cave and tore his clothing to shreds almost instantly. Di Jiu hadn’t worn any armor because he knew that no armor was stronger than his late-stage Immortal Divine Body.

Pfft! Pfft! Several wind blades blasted Di Jiu’s body and drew blood.

Suddenly, Di Jiu felt excruciating pain coming from his wounds. He immediately realized that this wasn’t because the wind was cutting his body. This was because the poison mist was corroding his body.

Although this was an extremely toxic poison, Di Jiu didn’t take any antidotes, even though he had some grade-seven antidote elixirs. For him, the best antidote was his understanding of laws.

Any type of poison was a type of law too. In just a couple of seconds, Di Jiu had already comprehended the nomological aura of the corrosive poison.

The Nomological Qi Circulation was even simpler compared to his Starry Sky Art, as it only took one round of Qi Circulation before the poison was turned into pure Essence Energy.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force kept extending outwards. In the beginning, the wind shredded his Spiritual Force instantly. As he continued to execute the Spiritual Force Training Art, his Spiritual Force could extend one foot away after half an hour.Read latest chapters at NovelFull

There were no longer any cultivators around him. Di Jiu figured that they had either gone out before him or been torn to shreds by the wind.

Outside the Glazed Heaven Cave, everything had returned to normal. No one would care about Di Jiu’s disappearance, as he had just come to this place.

Meanwhile, something appeared in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force and he grabbed it.

It was indeed a Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit. However, the fruit turned into crumbs as soon as it ended up in his hands.

The Glazed Heaven Cave became bigger and bigger as he went deeper. Di Jiu flew for more than two hours before he landed on solid ground.

To his amazement, he saw the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree. However, there was only a single one. He guessed that this Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree was at least 100,000 years old. Its branches were over a hundred feet long.

There were thousands of ripe Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruits on the tree. The value of these fruits aside, the tree itself was worth no less than a level-nine immortal spiritual herb.

The tree was covered by a natural restriction, and so was every single one of its fruits.

The tree was also surrounded by steep reefs. It was amazing that a Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree could grow up in this place.

Waves of violent wind swept towards the tree from somewhere beside the natural restriction. God knew where the wind came from. It would occasionally snap a tree branch and bring away a Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit.

Apart from those fruits, the ripe ones that fell off would also be swept into the cave by the wind.

Di Jiu wasn’t going to hold back. Without hesitation, he tore the restriction apart and threw out several hundred array flags.

In no more than half an hour, he sent the entire Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree into his Quintessential World.

After Di Jiu took the Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree away, he sensed a familiar aura. He immediately realized why a Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit Tree would grow up in this kind of place and why every single Glazed Heaven Immortal Fruit was covered by natural restrictions. He sensed the aura of the Breathing Earth.

It was a pity that the Breathing Earth had already been fully expended. Di Jiu didn’t know if it had been blown away by the wind or whether it had fused with the Lunar Immortal Sea. He felt helpless, for this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to run into the Breathing Earth. Actually, he ran into it twice. It was unfortunate that he didn’t manage to obtain it.

The tree was gone, but the wind and the corrosive mist didn’t disappear. The corrosive poison mist probably came from the Lunar Immortal Sea. Di Jiu was sure that the wind didn’t come from the sea. It seemed to come from the edge of the natural restriction, through the crack in the reef beside his head.

Di Jiu walked towards the edge of the natural restriction, where the strong wind came from, and carefully extended his Spiritual Force.

Boom! He was stunned by an aura that felt like heaven and earth had come crashing down. He immediately spewed out a stream of blood. Not only did his Spiritual Force disappear, but his Spiritual Sea was also struck by that aura.

Di Jiu even suspected that this aura, which felt like heaven and earth had collapsed, would have destroyed his Spiritual Sea if it had been any weaker. He also wondered if his Spiritual Force had crossed over to another plane.

Regardless of how the strong wind and the poison mist had come about, Di Jiu didn’t want to figure this out anymore.
