“The experts from the Great Beginning Realm are coming here to move away the entire realm?” After leaving the Dragon Clan, Di Jiu found it unimaginable when he heard what Tang Xitan said.
“Yes, the Shadow Clan’s Na Di’an was the one who transmitted the message. I don’t think he lied,” Tang Xitan answered.
Feeling doubtful deep down, Di Jiu frowned and then said, “This is not possible. I don’t know about third-step experts, but if they’re second-step experts, I don’t think they can move away one realm even if they cultivate to the Dao Integration.”
He considered this seriously based on his cultivation level and ability. Di Jiu was only at the Primordial Dao Realm, but he believed that he should not fear any cultivator in that realm. Given his current strength, he should not be able to move away a realm even if he reached Dao Integration.
Everything else aside, the Dao World’s Heaven Earth Law was definitely stronger than the cultivation technique law of the second-step cultivators. Not everyone cultivated the Nomological Dao like him. In that case, they were incapable of controlling the laws of a realm and moving the realm away.
After hearing Di Jiu’s words, Tang Beiwei suddenly told him, “Brother Di, this is possible because their Dao Integration experts can massacre a realm before refining it…”
Di Jiu took a breath of cold air. Since he had never thought of such a thing, he did not respond for a while. How merciless were the cultivators to refine a realm?
Then, he realized that what Tang Beiwei had said was true. Otherwise, where had so many Quintessential Worlds come from? Many of them were obtained after a realm was refined.
“Daoist Tang, Sacred Emperor Ye is your elder brother?” Di Jiu suddenly remembered him. He had heard about him more than once. He had heard that this name would scare the cultivators of the other clans out of their wits and they would not dare disturb the cultivators of the Human Clan in the Void City.
Tang Beiwei bowed before Di Jiu. “Yes, Senior Brother Di. When my elder brother went to Heaven’s Beyond, I was in reclusive seclusion. When I came out, I only learned that many third-step experts joined the Creation War. My elder brother also went missing during that time. When I investigated the situation, my relatives and friends entered Heaven’s Beyond. However, I can’t go there at all now…”
“Creation War? What’s that?” Di Jiu was somewhat at a loss. Had the third-step experts joined the battle to snatch something?
Tang Beiwei shook her head. “I don’t know either. When I wanted to go to Heaven’s Beyond, I found out that I could not go there anymore. Our Sacred Dao Sect received an urgent message that the Sacred Dao World was facing a crisis. Since basically all the experts of the Sacred Dao World went to Heaven’s Beyond, I couldn’t find anyone to help. Thus, I could only come to the Void City. I originally wanted to find the Phoenix Clan…”
Tang Xitan, who stood aside, said, “Yes, but the Phoenix Clan is dying now. We don’t have the strength to help Beiwei.”
“Daoist Tang…”
Then, Tang Beiwei said, “Big Brother Di, you saved my life. If you think highly of me, just call me by my name. I’ve always felt that you are very amiable. Maybe we can get in touch.”
Upon seeing that Di Jiu was puzzled, Tang Beiwei quickly explained, “Big Brother Di, this has something to do with my cultivation technique, which is related to the universe’s origin. Therefore, I’m a little sensitive about this.”
Tang Beiwei’s cultivation technique had evolved from the Three Lifetime Art. Since she came from the same place as Di Jiu, she felt amiable.
Di Jiu nodded his head and asked, “Beiwei, do you have any way of going to Heaven’s Beyond?”
Tang Beiwei replied, “Yes. When my elder brother left, he left some things for me, including a top-notch Realm Breaking Array Disc. However, I can’t control it with my strength. Big Brother Di, you are powerful, so I wanted to ask you to…”
Di Jiu understood what Tang Beiwei meant. “Beiwei, I agree to activate this Realm Breaking Array Disc and go to Heaven’s Beyond with you, but not now. Regardless of when the experts of the Great Beginning Realm come to massacre the cultivators in this realm, I have to find a place to enter reclusive seclusion after the Dao Fruit Pagoda. My cultivation level is simply a bit too low.”
“Big Brother Di, I’ll wait for you,” said Tang Beiwei without hesitation.
She was sure that Di Jiu and her elder brother were the same type of people. In that case, he would stand a chance of helping her.
“Alright, I’m going to the Void City now. After the Dao Fruit Pagoda, I’ll look for a place to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm. Then, I need to go back to handle some matters before I find you guys,” Di Jiu said.
After he attained the Primordial Chaos Realm, he would have to make a trip back to the Dao World. In addition to the feud with Jiang Dai, he also had to search for Nong Xiuqi before he went back to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Apart from Black Fire and Little Tree, Xiangnu was also there.
“Are you really not at Primordial Chaos?” Tang Xitan was stunned by Di Jiu’s words. She had always thought that he was at that realm and had not expected that he had yet to attain that. Nobody would believe that a Primordial Dao Sacred Emperor like him could pinch a late-stage Primordial Chaos cultivator to death.
Tang Beiwei grew increasingly excited. Given Di Jiu’s current strength, the lower his cultivation was, the greater his potential would be. Since she was going to Heaven’s Beyond with Di Jiu, there would be greater assistance.
Unfortunately, she had exchanged her only Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Pill. Otherwise, she would have gifted it to Di Jiu without hesitation.
“That’s right, I’m indeed not at the Primordial Chaos Realm.” Di Jiu was a little embarrassed. Even though he was at the Primordial Dao Realm, he had let Primordial Chaos Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei address him as Senior Brother. This was simply inexcusable.
Tang Xitan drew a cold gasp of air. She finally understood what the Ancestral Master had meant back then.
Di Jiu did not enter seclusion to improve his cultivation. Although he still had dozens of drops of the 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence, he had just reached the late-stage Primordial Dao. Now, it would be somewhat hard to attain Primordial Chaos.
The first thing he did in seclusion was advance his flame and the second was practice blacksmithing. In Ji Hongsen’s Quintessential World, there were countless materials of all sorts. Xiang Mu, who had been killed by him, also had many good things in his ring. These items were sufficient to advance his Blacksmith Dao. Then, he would still have to advance his Heavenly Aqua Saber and refine a top-notch flying Dharma treasure.
The third thing he did was practice alchemy. He possessed a lot of Dao fruit and a pile of divine spirit herbs. He naturally had to use these items to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. Then, the Dao Fruit Pagoda would probably start, so he could purchase the Dao fruits in large quantities.
He had heard from Tang Beiwei that her elder brother used to do this and had managed to collect a Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit.
“Brother Di, even though I only sensed it for a while, I can still sense that your flame is different from ordinary flames.” Tang Xitan came from the Phoenix Realm, so she was the most sensitive to the flame.
Di Jiu did not conceal anything. “That’s right. My flame is Dao fire.”
“It’s really Dao fire?” Tang Xitan called out excitedly. She had vaguely sensed it was Dao fire, but she had not expected it to be true.
Di Jiu understood what Tang Xitan meant and felt lucky. He had not known before, but he now knew how rare Dao fire was. He had either condensed the Dao fire accidentally, or it had something to do with the Ninth Dao Law. The value of the Dao fire was determined by its extremely small success rate of condensation, as it was nearly impossible to condense. If one was not careful, not only would one be unable to condense the Dao fire, but one would also turn into ashes.
Tang Xitan suppressed her excitement and lowered her tone before saying, “Senior Brother Di, I suggest that you do not advance your Dao fire with the Luminous Core right away. The Dao fire is different from other flames. After the other flames advance to sacred flames, they will produce a fire spirit. However, the Dao fire can merge with the cultivator. Even if the cultivator perishes, the flame will still contain a hint of the cultivator’s soul force imprint.”
“How do I advance the Dao fire then?” Di Jiu asked.
Tang Xitan explained, “Actually, the Luminous Core can advance the Dao fire. However, you should gather the Luminous Core and the Quintessential Yang Core, which is also the Moon Core and the Sun Core. After you give these two items to the Dao fire simultaneously and the Dao fire advances to a sacred flame, it will become the ultimate flame.”
