nDi Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated this white-jade skeleton and found out why it had not been corroded yet. It was because the corpse was also a top-notch cultivator with a Tempered Body higher than his that might have even surpassed the level of a Sacred Body.

nThis skeleton held onto the white-jade stone tablet because of a deep obsession with it when it had still been alive. Therefore, it was unwilling to let it go after obtaining it even after being dead for many years.

nDi Jiu sighed and said, “I know you snatched this white-jade stone tablet, but your soul is not here anymore. It’s only an obsession, and I don’t wish to harm your skeleton. I want to take this stone tablet away indeed, so you might as well let it go.”

nIf it still did not understand what he meant, Di Jiu would have to destroy this skeleton by force.

nPerhaps it could sense that, after many years, someone had come here again and the stone tablet had nothing to do with it even if it continued holding it. The skeleton loosened its grip and the white-jade stone tablet fell to the ground.

n

nDi Jiu lifted his arms and took the stone tablet into his hands. His Spiritual Force permeated it and discovered no refined restrictions or any auras of Dharma treasure Dao runes. It looked like this stone tablet was just an ordinary stone tablet.

nDi Jiu casually threw the stone tablet into the ring, not expecting that the stone tablet would not be sent in.

nHuh? Di Jiu observed the stone tablet carefully again. He did not see anything different in half an hour so he once again threw it into the Ninth World.

nThere was nothing odd about the stone tablet this time, so it was thrown into the Ninth World directly.

nDi Jiu felt great joy. He was certain that this stone tablet was not ordinary and his Ninth World was the same. This stone tablet could not enter his ring but could enter his Ninth World.

nThe white-jade skeleton had given it up tactfully, so Di Jiu lifted his hands to dig a hole. He planned to send it into the hole.

nThe white-jade skeleton suddenly disintegrated when Di Jiu dug the hole and turned into dust. An engraved relic then appeared before him.

nThe words engraved on the relic were clear: “You stole my Void Mountain stone tablet. My daughter will take revenge for me someday. Wash your neck clean and wait for her to kill you.”

nDi Jiu was furious. This bastard really did not know what was good for him. This was clearly an item without an owner, yet this fellow claimed that it belonged to him. He was simply too shameless.

nHe was sure that this white-jade stone tablet had been forcibly taken by this fellow before he had died. Would it not be proper for someone else to pick it up? Even though he was not the one who had picked it up, it was considered his since everyone had been fighting over this stone tablet and he had gotten hold of it.

n

n

nDi Jiu still wanted to build a tomb for this fellow. Therefore, he lifted his hands to send hundreds of thunder streaks blasting alternatively within hundreds of feet.

nRegardless of whether this fellow was dead or alive, he had still dared to threaten him. Thus, Di Jiu had to take action. This fellow could not be reincarnated thanks to his thunder streaks.

nThen, Di Jiu continued moving forth.

nAfter walking for half a day, he saw an inverted Green Essence Energy Meridian and felt great joy. Besides his Nomological Qi Circulation technique and his Ninth World, the Green Essence Energy Meridian he had obtained in the Brilliant Lake Palace was extremely useful for becoming a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor in a short time.

nThe Green Essence Energy Meridian he had obtained in the Brilliant Lake Palace had been used up. He had not expected to come across another one here when he needed one.

nDi Jiu took a step toward the side of the Green Essence Energy Meridian. Before he could reach with his hands out to take it, it turned into a pile of dust and vanished without a trace in a moment.

nIt turned out that it had already turned into nothingness. How many years had this battle lasted?

nDi Jiu was very disappointed when even the Essence Energy Meridian turned into nothingness. It would be strange if other things did exist.

nAnother day went by and Di Jiu stopped at the side of an indentation where there were two skeletons. One of them had a long saber for a Dharma treasure that was stuck between the eyebrows of the other skeleton facing it, splitting its skull into two.

nThe other skeleton, which had a long arm, was pinching the Spiritual Sea of the skeleton with a saber into pieces. Its finger still lay on the other skeleton’s Purple Palace.

n

n

nThis was the second time that Di Jiu had seen skeletons after entering the Void Mountain.

nDi Jiu walked over to the long saber and put his hand on the back of the saber. Fierce saber intents swept over and directly permeated Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea.

nHowever, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea was too powerful. No matter how strong these saber intents were, they could not hurt his Spiritual Sea.

nDi Jiu released his hand but could sense who the person was based on its familiar saber intent. It must have been a disciple of the Heaven Saber Sect.

nCrash! Due to Di Jiu’s touch, the two skeletons immediately disintegrated into dust.

nTheir rings and Dharma treasures all vanished except for the long saber.

nDi Jiu picked up this long saber. There was still a Heaven Saber in his ring, but he could sense that this long saber mimicked the Heaven Saber and had already surpassed the level of a supreme-grade immortal weapon.

nDi Jiu knew how powerful the body-tempering cultivation technique of the Heaven Saber Sect was. His Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art came from the Heaven Saber Sect. Their skeletons would not turn into dust years after they perished thanks to this powerful body-tempering cultivation technique. However, all the skeletons here had turned into dust, leaving only some Dharma treasures behind. This made Di Jiu suspect that there was corrosion of Dao runes in the Void Mountain.

nOnly with the corrosion of Dao runes all year round could these top-notch Tempered Body cultivators’ skeletons turn into dust.

nDi Jiu put away his Heaven Saber and focused his gaze once again on the side of the indentation. It looked as if there was nothing, but he could sense that these two people had died because of the indentation.

n

n

nThere was no Dao rune aura in the indentation, which was more or less identical to the white-jade stone tablet that he had obtained earlier.

nDi Jiu was about to take out the white-jade stone tablet and send it into the indentation when he suddenly sensed a hint of familiarity at the edge of his Spiritual Force. It was the Dao rune aura left behind by his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

nDi Jiu, who was ecstatic, rushed over without hesitation. He was sure that this aura was produced by Qi Jun. Qi Jun had been struck by his two saber moves, so the Dao runes could not be removed from him unless he had a more profound understanding of the Heaven Earth Law than Di Jiu, which was not possible.

nWhy had he come here? Wasn’t it to search for Qi Jun? Qi Jun was undoubtedly dead after getting hit with two of his saber moves. He had searched for Qi Jun to ask about Jiang Dai and discover why Jiang Dai had drawn away the light from providence in the Four Major Immortal Worlds. He also wanted to see what the Upper Realm of the Immortal World was like and find out how to get there.

nDi Jiu stopped four hours later and looked at the two people in front of him in shock.

nThat’s right. There was not only one person in front of him, but two. Neither of them was a skeleton. They were alive. They were sitting on the stone pillar, looking back at Di Jiu in shock.

nDi Jiu recognized one of them. He was Qi Jun, who he had been searching for.

nAt that moment, Qi Jun did not look like he was seriously injured. It seemed as though he had only met a friend and the two of them were drinking tea here.

nThe young man who was sitting opposite Qi Jun looked like a skeleton in a layer of skin. His face was thin, without much flesh, and both the rim of his eyes and his cheeks were indented. He also looked at Di Jiu in shock, his eyes wandering to the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind Di Jiu.

n“Qi Jun, did he cause the injuries on you?” The thin, weak young man glanced at Qi Jun, sounding somewhat cold.

n

n

nQi Jun stood up and bowed. He then said, “Yes, Young Master Baishang. His Saber Dao seems to have been combined with the law of the universe. With one saber move, the entire spatial law is under his control. These laws include the time law aura. If I had not run fast, I would already have perished thanks to his time law…”

n“Time law?” The thin young man looked at Di Jiu in shock, hot rays of light emanating from deep within his eyes.

nBefore he could stand up, Di Jiu could sense a terrifying suppression sweeping over. At that moment, it was hard for Di Jiu to breathe, let alone move.
