The three of them were all silent, they knew exactly what Di Jiu had said, and in fact what did they come here to frantically search for the Cosmic Dao Veins for? Wasn’t it because they wanted to have a chance to cross over to the fourth step? As long as they crossed into the fourth step, they would have the chance to hold their destiny in their own hands.
Even though they thought so, all three of them knew clearly that such a chance was extremely slim. The backhand each of them had prepared was to wait until the search for the Cosmic Dao Veins in the Cosmic Nest was complete, then they would do everything they could to gain a place in the Cosmic Dialectic.
Even if someone had crossed into the fourth step, they could not freely abuse and bully a cultivator with a holy position.
Di Jiu didn’t know what these people were thinking, he sneered, “If you don’t intend to do so, just forget I said that. I am afraid there is nothing for you to do in the battle for the holy throne. As far as I know or the cultivators I have met, there are no less than ten stronger than you. And are there ten true great saints’ thrones? Even I, having obtained the Sacred Throne Tablet, dare not say that obtaining a Sacred Throne will enable me to control my destiny, let alone a few of you.”
What Di Jiu meant beyond words was that the few of you are not even as good as me when it comes to strength. When it comes to chance, you don’t even have the Holy Throne Tablet, so what makes a few of you want to obtain the Holy Throne?
“Fellow Daoist Di has a Holy Throne Tablet?” Jin Zai was shocked and looked at Di Jiu, with the Holy Throne Tablet, as long as one’s strength was reliable, one’s chances of obtaining the Holy Throne were more than several times that of others.
“That’s right, a few of you think about it, if you’re not willing to cooperate, I’ll leave first.” Di Jiu did not intend to continue to persuade.
Those who didn’t cooperate would be nothing more than cannon fodder when the big battle came up in the future, he didn’t believe that those who didn’t stand in line would still be able to survive in the midst of the battle for the Holy Throne.
He, Ning Cheng and Ye Mo were now considered a faction of the Five Elements Universe, and their faction had to rely more on the power of the rest of the universe, in addition to the power of the Five Elements Universe.
Apart from their faction, Red Youngest was the most powerful faction.
The battle for the holy throne after the Great Cosmic Debate is not necessarily a fight between them and Red Younger. In the vast universe, there was no telling how many strong people there were. If he, Ye Mo and Ning Cheng could think that they would have to fight for their lives with Red Younger, other universe cultivators could naturally think of this as well.
If they could think of it, they might be able to form factions like them.
Once these factions came out, they would not necessarily help them deal with Red Youngest when they were arguing for the holy throne. It is also possible that they will help Red Young against them, or have their own calculations.
After all, not every universe was like the Five Elements Universe, where one could obtain five Saint Tablet after entering the Gate of Creation.
“Fellow Daoist Di really has a Saint Position Tablet?” Jin Zai’s eyes lit up as he eagerly asked.
Compared to Di Jiu and Ye Mo and Ning Cheng, who had zero tolerance for the Fourth Step Enslavement Vast, Jin Zai and the others thought a little differently, in their opinion. No matter who crossed the fourth step, even if they controlled any of the beings in the Vast Chaos, they would not or could not interfere with the enslavement of saint position holders recklessly.
Di Jiu affirmed, “That’s right, I do have the Sacred Seat Tablet.”
“We are willing to follow Brother Di, and if Brother Di strikes in the future, we will definitely strike together.” Jin Zai said without hesitation.
Di Jiu nodded, “Good, since we are all on the same journey, if I am able to obtain the Holy Throne, I will naturally not forget a few of you.”
Jin Zai and the others immediately saluted, they were waiting for these words from Di Jiu.
However, Di Jiu said once again, “But a few of you need to drip blood and make an oath, whenever I fight with that Fourth Step, a few of you must step in.”
The three of them looked at each other, and then they all forced out a drop of essence blood, which fused together in the void and turned into a Dao rhythm breath as the three of them made an oath at the same time.
They knew very well that Di Jiu would never believe them without making an oath. When Di Jiu killed and Pu just now, he didn’t see the three of them together either.
……
The three of them are not considered to be the junior brothers, but the strength of the three of them is really strong. It is also good to have an extra strength when dealing with the red youngsters in the future.
Di Jiu did not intend to join hands with Jin Zai and the three of them to search for the Cosmic Dao veins, his Dao pupils could see the unusual Cosmic Dao veins, and he could just go searching for them by himself.
After separating from Jin Zai and the others, Di Jiu spent the next few years searching for the Cosmic Dao Veins in the Creation Nest.
In a few years, Di Jiu searched for at least twenty Cosmic Dao Veins. As for the 10,000-foot cosmic dao veins, apart from the initial one that was black and one that was white, Di Jiu did not encounter them once.
With more than twenty Cosmic Dao veins, Di Jiu decided not to look for them anymore. He could see that the really good things were the black Cosmic Dao Vein and the white Cosmic Dao Vein that he had obtained. These two types of Cosmic Dao Veins were both beyond ten thousand feet.
Although the other Cosmic Dao Veins were also good, they were still far from being as good as these two.
The Great Cosmic Dao Debate in the Sacred Dao City of Creation was about to begin, Di Jiu did not know if Ye Mo and Ning Cheng had already arrived at the Creation Nest, and he had no intention of contacting both Ye Mo and Ning Cheng. Di Jiu decided to look for a place to retreat for a while and raise his strength some more. Even if he could not cross into the fourth step, or if he could touch the traces of the dao of the fourth step, just like Chi Xie.
……
The place where Di Jiu chose to retreat was not just a random place, he went straight to the dried up lake that almost killed him in the first place.
The black half of the Dao vein was definitely not going to stay where it was after he had gotten rid of it. That terrible poison had already been transformed into a poison dao rule of his own, and he was going to try to see if the poison could still move him under his poison dao rule.
Di Jiu valued this poison dao rule, and when he fought with Chi Xie in the future, he would definitely have to use it. The only thing he had to consider was the way he could do it.
Apart from that, there would be no one to disturb him when he cultivated in that black mist of poisonous gas.
When Di Jiu came to this dried up lake again, the black fog in the centre of the lake had faded a lot, and Di Jiu’s Dao pupils could even penetrate the poisonous fog to see clearly that there was nothing left inside.
It seemed that after the black cosmic dao vein was taken away by Chi Xie, the black fog and poisonous gas also started to dissipate. It was a good thing that he had come quickly, the poisonous fog had not finished dissipating.
Di Jiu stepped into the poisonous fog with one step, and the poisonous fog that almost took his life before had no more effect on Di Jiu at this moment. The poisonous fog fell on Di Jiu’s body like an ordinary fog, not even hurting Di Jiu’s hair a bit.
Di Jiu’s hands rolled up and a poisonous dao rule quickly condensed in his hands. In the next moment, this poison dao rule in Di Jiu’s hands transformed into a knife weapon that was like a substance.
As Di Jiu’s hands continued to roll, one substantial blade weapon after another was constructed by Di Jiu, and soon these blade weapons constructed from the poison dao rules formed a huge divine blade formation around Di Jiu’s body.
The sword formation flowed, only sword Qi overflowed, where there was no trace of the poison dao rules.
Di Jiu’s hand waved and the infinite sword weapons disappeared, but Di Jiu laughed, in the future if he built such a sword formation to trap Chi Xie. The first time he found out that his sword weapon was a poisonous dao rule, I’m afraid he would have been trapped.
This knife formation is still a divine ability that he used in the cultivation world, but he did not expect that it could become a killing move after such a change. The point was that with his formation dao means, this blade formation could be reduced to nothingness at any moment.
“Senior, senior ……” Di Jiu was still complacent when a voice with a somewhat inaccurate pronunciation sounded outside.
Di Jiu was startled, he was sure that when he came here just now, there was no one here, and there were no aura fluctuations when he was constructing the Poison Dao Rule Blade Formation, how come someone appeared around him and he hadn’t noticed? Could it be another Chisou?
Di Jiu stepped out of the centre of the poisonous fog with one step. When he came just now, he didn’t set up any protective formation because he was sure that there was no one else around. At this moment, when Di Jiu came out, he clearly saw a black-furred two-tailed leopard.
Only when he was sure that there was no one around did Di Jiu look at the two-tailed leopard in confusion, “Was it you who was calling me just now?”
What made Di Jiu even more puzzled was not that the twin-tailed leopard called him, but how this twin-tailed leopard had appeared without a sound.
