When Lightning heard Di Jiu’s words, he did not hesitate to rush out and disappeared a million miles away in the blink of an eye.
However, Di Jiu chided, “Use the fastest speed, don’t be fussy.”
He was sure that Lightning had not gone at full speed, otherwise he would have gone faster than that.
When Lightning heard Di Jiu’s words, there was no need to hold back, so it accelerated at full speed. Lightning soon discovered that no matter how fast it was, Master Tai was still behind it.
This made Lightning secretly glad that if the guys who were chasing him had the same skills as Master Tai, I am afraid that Lightning would have become the pet of someone else.
Lightning grew faster and faster along the way, never stopping to take a look. Di Jiu was sensitive to Dao refining gold because he had been in contact with the Vast Iron Crystal for a long time and even used the Dao Dao rules to condense the Vast Iron Crystal for many years. Along the way, he did sense several places where Dao Refining Gold might exist, but the lightning didn’t stop, and he didn’t bother to stop and look for it.
With his sense of Dao-refining gold, even if Lightning did not find Dao-refining gold this time, he would still be able to find enough Dao-refining gold to go to the Avenue Formation Gate in a short time.
What puzzled Di Jiu was that he hadn’t met a single cultivator along the way.
With the speed of lightning, he also had to vanish for almost half a year before he stopped. Di Jiu also marvelled at the breadth of the Dao of Refinement universe, as he and Lightning had travelled at the speed of half a year, and his divine thoughts still swept out to infinity.
“Master Tai, it’s in here.” Lightning pointed ahead.
Di Jiu looked suspiciously in front of him, which was merely a dry swampy land that was so unusual that it couldn’t be any more unusual. If there was something special, it was that in the middle of this dry swamp, there were some cosmic rules flowing around that he had never seen before. But this was the Dao Refining Universe, so there was nothing too special about more brand new cosmic rules.
“Lightning, you’re not looking in the wrong place, are you? This is merely a swamp, and there’s nothing inside this swamp ah, my divine thoughts ……”
Di Jiu’s words abruptly paused as his divine thoughts sensed a vast and boundless rule aura, a rule aura that seemed somewhat familiar ……
Right, it was an aura from when he was building the new universe together with Ning Cheng and Ye Mo, that aura was a brand new rule that had been derived after the birth of the new universe. Di Jiu believed that he did not feel wrong, the rule aura here was definitely a rule aura from the birth of a new universe. Even though this rule was completely different from the rules of the new universe they had constructed back then, there was not much difference in that aura of rules born out of chaos.
Lightning thought that Di Jiu didn’t see it and said eagerly, “Master Tai, I definitely won’t lie to you. I can feel that under this swamp, there is Dao Refining Gold, and there are still many, many of them.”
“You can feel the Dao-refining gold?” Di Jiu was even more puzzled, he had felt the aura of the birth of a new universe no doubt, but he hadn’t felt the Dao Refining Gold at all.
“Yes, it’s Dao Refining Gold.” Lightning’s tone was even more certain.
Di Jiu gave a gesture to Lightning to get out of the way, and then he came to set up a big formation to blast away the barrier wrapped around the aura of the new universe rules under this swamp. It was at this moment that Di Jiu sensed a hint of something different. His gaze immediately fell on an inconspicuous piece of dried out wood in the dry swamp.
What puzzled Di Jiu was not that the wood had not rotted away after an unknown number of years, but that the wood simply looked like an unusual piece of wood that could not be more unusual. If it was a spiritual wood, it would be normal for it not to have rotted away after many years, an ordinary wood would disappear after only ten or so years, I’m afraid.
The only explanation was that he could not see the oddity of this piece of wood.
Without hesitation, Di Jiu sketched out a dao law, these dao laws looked messy, but this messy dao law soon locked the wood.
The next moment Di Jiu was amazed to discover that this piece of wood had an ancient vitality, a vitality that he had never seen before, and even surpa*sed the vitality aura contained in his construction wood.
Di Jiu landed next to this wood in one step, and before he could do anything, this wood sighed, “Shen Mu Yuan has met you, Daoist.”
“You’ve even learnt the art of illusion, I almost didn’t see it coming.” Di Jiu let out a chuckle, he had then learnt the Heavenly Dipper Illusion Technique and the Earth Death Illusion Technique divine ability, which allowed him to illuminate into a piece of wood, he was also unable to illuminate as completely unbroken as the other party. He was able to spot the wood purely due to experience and intuition.
When Lightning said that there was a large amount of Dao-refining gold here, he shouldn’t be talking nonsense. This guy was hiding here either for Dao-refining gold or to backstab someone who was looking for Dao-refining gold. Whichever it was, Di Jiu and him would clash.
Shen Mu Yuan let out a bitter smile, “Fellow Daoist thinks highly of me, I know the art of illusion you are talking about, but unfortunately I have not learnt it. The reason I am here is because the Dao I cultivate has been stripped away. If I didn’t cultivate the Dao of Vitality, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to walk here. Because I cultivate the Vitality Dao, even though the Dao was stripped away, I still escaped with the Vitality Dao Heart ……”
“The Dao of Vitality?” Di Jiu let out a surprised cry, the Dao of Vitality was definitely one of the top dao in the Vast Expanse. The Vitality Dao that the Destiny Daoist cultivated should only be a small part of the Vitality Dao, and the Vitality Dao of the Destiny Daoist was still limited under the five elemental universe rules at the beginning. The Vitality Dao in the Vast Dao would have added a dao branch just as much if it had been added to his dao tree.
“Yes, I cultivate the Dao of Vitality, but unfortunately, my Dao has been stripped away, leaving only an empty frame, or rather, there is still a Dao Heart of Vitality left in it.” Shen Mu Yuan did not know whether he understood that it was useless to conceal it or he had no intention to conceal it, he did not conceal a single word of Di Jiu’s question.
“Who stripped you of your Dao of Vitality?” Di Jiu asked, honestly, he still had some doubts about Shen Mu Yuan’s words. How could one still come to this place after a normal dao had been stripped away by someone? However, Shen Mu Yuan’s explanation barely made sense, as he said that there was still a Vitality Dao Heart left. What made Di Jiu most suspicious was that the guy who cultivated the Dao of Vitality would definitely not be a simple person. Di Jiu believed that even a strong person like Pot Visiting was not going to be able to divest Shen Mu Yuan of the Dao of Vitality.
Shen Mu Yuan’s tone lowered, “I don’t know who he is, I only know what Dao he cultivates, and I also know where he has gone.”
“What Dao did he cultivate?” Di Jiu immediately asked.
If this man could strip Shen Mu Yuan of his Dao of Life, then he was qualified to strip the Dao from his Dao Tree. Di Jiu was naturally cautious and prudent towards such a strong person.
“This person cultivates the Dao of Life and Death, and he has established several Dao of Life and Death gates and specialises in stripping the Dao bases of strong people from all sides through them. If it is a Dao that he does not see, he will at most only strip the Dao of the other party. If it is a Dao that he likes, as long as it pa*ses through the Life and Death Gate, it will definitely be stripped of its Dao Dao foundation by him, without any luck ……”
When Shen Mu Yuan said the Dao of Life and Death, Di Jiu already understood and believed in Shen Mu Yuan’s words.
If he hadn’t been luckier and even had Jianmu and the Cosmic Dao lineage to back him up, I’m afraid he would have been stripped of his Dao Dao base by that b*****d. He did not have a Vital Dao Heart, and once he was stripped of his Dao Dao base, he was afraid that he would not even be as good as this guy in front of him.
It was a good thing that he had won the battle over the dao stripping and not only was he not stripped of his dao dao foundation by the other party, but instead he was stripped of his dao of life and death, allowing him to add another branch to his dao tree.
“I know that fellow Daoist may doubt my words, but I swear that what I said is the truth ……,” seeing that Di Jiu was silent, Shen Mu Yuan said again.
Di Jiu waved his hand, “I believe you, tell me, what can I help you with now?”
“Ah ……,” Shen Mu Yuan did not expect Di Jiu not only did not make a move, but instead asked himself what he could help himself with. He had to know that he was all set to be stripped away from his Vital Dao Heart by Di Jiu again. He had to know that the most precious thing in his body, apart from the Vitality Dao Foundation, was the Vitality Dao Heart.
Di Jiu guessed Shen Mu Yuan’s mind and said indifferently, “I don’t care about your Vitality Dao Heart yet, I came here to look for Dao Refining Gold, but I felt the birth rules of a new universe in this place. If I am not wrong, it should be that you have used the vast and boundless Dao Refining Gold here and then reconstructed your rule universe, and your newly constructed universe should be even stronger than your previous Vitality Dao, between gain and loss, it is indeed difficult to understand.”
“You can know?” Shen Mu Yuan was afraid that if he was able to stand up, his mouth would be open enough to send in a planet.
This new cosmic rule was something that had taken him tens of millions of years to understand, or was it because the place where he was was the centre of Dao-refining gold, surrounded entirely by Dao-refining gold. More importantly, he had broken through and made it, and there was no way back before he succeeded in Nirvana. Otherwise, given tens of millions of years more, he would not have been able to understand the vast rules of the new universe.
In fact after some more time, after his Vitality Dao Heart and the rules of the new universe had fused, he, Shen Mu Yuan, would once again become a sixth-step powerhouse, even stronger than before.
Di Jiu said, “That’s right, I can tell. Because I’m going to take away all the Dao Refining Gold here, I think if you and your new universe don’t fuse again, I’m afraid it will be even harder in the future.”
Di Jiu had no intention of being Mr. Nice Guy, and knowing that Shen Mu Yuan was building a new universe with the help of the Dao Refining Gold here, he gave up on taking away the Dao Refining Gold.
The Vitality Dao Heart was Shen Mu Yuan’s, he wouldn’t touch it. The Dao Refining Gold was no one’s to take, no matter who came. This was his guideline for doing things.
As for him asking Shen Mu Yuan if he wanted his help, it was because they had a common opponent, the Sage of Life and Death. Another point was that he was going to take the Dao Refining Gold. Once he took away the Dao Refining Gold, it would be even harder for Shen Mu Yuan to use the Dao Refining Gold to merge with the new universe. Therefore, before Di Jiu took away the Dao Refining Gold, he intended to do Shen Mu Yuan a favour by the way, and that was to help him complete the fusion of the New Universe.
