Di Jiu opened his eyes in surprise as he finally pounced on the traces of the spell formation around the blue bead.
What he had harvested was not just a blue bead, as long as he was given time, he could set up this kind of invisible and shadowless void spell formation himself in the future.
Di Jiu raised his hand and threw out dozens of formation flags, then grabbed them. A gap suddenly appeared on the periphery of the bead that was originally locked by the spell formation, and Di Jiu’s hand grabbed the bead with unerring accuracy.
A piercing coldness came through and Di Jiu almost dropped the bead in his hand to the ground. A true fire appeared in the palm of Di Jiu’s hand, even so, Di Jiu still felt as if his hand was about to be frozen.
He hurriedly took out a jade box and put the beads in it, and then put it away after he had struck several forbidden blocks to confine it.
As soon as the blue beads were taken away by Di Jiu, Di Jiu’s divine thoughts clearly sensed the full picture of this blue pool formation, he threw out dozens more formation flags and an incomparably clear blue vein appeared in front of him.
Di Jiu finally understood why the water of this pool was blue and why the spiritual energy of this pool was so dense.
It turned out that there was a blue vein in this pool, he did not know what this blue vein was yet, but it did not matter, these answers could definitely be found in the World Book.
This blue vein was the spiritual source of the blue pool, so it was strange that Di Jiu did not take it away. A formation flag was thrown out by Di Jiu, before Di Jiu could put the blue vein away, his divine thoughts swept at least one or two hundred people rushing in. Where would Di Jiu have any more hesitation, he even accelerated his speed.
“Boom boom boom!” With a roaring sound, a blue spirit vein that was more than ten feet long was brought up by Di Jiu and sent into his own Spiritual Medicine Garden ring.
Almost at the same time as Di Jiu took this blue spirit vein away, a couple of hundred people rushed in. With the blue vein taken away, the protective formation around the blue pool and the spell formation above the pool were all rendered useless. On the opposite bank of the pool, a three to four metre high fruit tree was followed by three green fruits, which still had a faint pattern on the outside.
Because of the blue spirit vein that Di Jiu had rolled away, all the people saw this fruit tree at a glance.
“Soul Origin Fruit?” The vast majority of people recognised what these three spirit fruits were, and each one had a longing glint in their eyes.
No matter which cultivation world they were in, Soul Origin Fruits were top-notch precious treasures. One of the main reasons why many sects had been unable to get one step closer until now was because they had not obtained the Soul Origin Fruits.
The Soul Origin Fruit could refine the Soul Condensation Pill, which was the best pill that could allow a successful Golden Dan cultivator to cross over to the Yuan Soul realm.
Some Foundation Establishment cultivators and a few cultivators who had just crossed into the Golden Dan knew that they would not be able to grab the Soul Origin Fruit, and their eyes were just eager, but they did not want to grab the Soul Origin Fruit. A few mid to late Jindan cultivators with higher cultivation levels were frantically rushing towards the opposite side of the pool, trying to snatch that one Soul Origin Fruit.
On the contrary, the few Jindan cultivators who were cultivating inside the pool did not move, they knew how powerful Di Jiu was, and now that Di Jiu was closest to the Soul Essence Fruit, they could not grab it even if they went up there.
Di Jiu now tries not to use pills for cross-cultivation, but who wouldn’t want something as precious as the Soul Origin Fruit? What’s more, the Soul Origin Fruit was a cross-realm item, so if he couldn’t cross the Yuan Soul, it wouldn’t have much effect with the help of the Soul Origin Fruit.
Even if the Jindan cultivators who came in after him were fast, they were not as fast as Di Jiu. Di Jiu landed next to the Soul Essence Fruit with just a divine transport and raised his hand to collect the whole fruit tree into his Spiritual Medicine Garden ring.
After Di Jiu collected the Soul Origin Fruit, the several Jindan cultivators who had grabbed the Soul Origin Fruit landed around Di Jiu and surrounded him.
“The spiritual qi inside this pool can cleanse the impurities in the veins ……,” a Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted out in surprise as he discovered the benefits of the blue pool.
The spirit source vein in this blue pool had been drawn away by Di Jiu, but this spirit source vein had been here for an unknown amount of time, and the blue pool had long been infiltrated by this spirit qi.
Even if Di Jiu had drawn away the Spiritual Source Vein, the spiritual qi in this blue pool was only slightly weaker, and it was still many times better than cultivating with top quality spirit stones. Cultivating in such a place made it easier to break through bottlenecks.
Apart from the several Jindan cultivators surrounding Di Jiu, more cultivators who knew it was hopeless to snatch the Soul Origin Fruit simply jumped straight into the pool and started cultivating. They had only followed that Jindan eighth layer cultivator in and were not under that Jindan eighth layer cultivator’s men.
“Hand over the stuff, and I’ll leave you alive.” The one who spoke was that Jindan eighth level cultivator, he didn’t see Di Jiu take away the blue beads and draw away the blue spirit veins, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have spoken like this.
Di Jiu looked at the nine Jindan cultivators surrounding him, four were below the third level of Jindan, three were in the middle Jindan stage and two were in the late Jindan stage. One of the two late Jindan ones was the 8th Jindan layer who had just asked him to hand over something, and one was a 7th Jindan layer.
His hand opened and a long sword appeared in the palm of Di Jiu’s hand, his gaze swept past the nine Jindan cultivators surrounding him and he said in a light tone, “I did get the Soul Origin Fruit just now, but there are only three of them. I’m from a big clan, so if you all want to start a feud with me when you know you can’t grab the Soul Origin Fruits, feel free to stay.”
Di Jiu’s current cultivation level was only at the first level of Jindan, and although he had spent a few days in the blue pool, his main focus was on breaking the formation and his cultivation level had not broken through to the second level of Jindan.
If all nine of them were to go on, Di Jiu reckoned that he would have some difficulty.
“I’m still some time away from completing the Golden Dan, I’ll quit first.” A cultivator at the second level of Jindan said with a clasped fist before directly jumping into the blue pool and starting to cultivate.
When the remaining three early Jindan stage saw that this second Jindan layer had all jumped out, they all clasped their fists and said the same thing before jumping into the blue pool.
It wasn’t that they were scared by Di Jiu, but that Di Jiu said that there were only three Soul Origin Fruits. Even if they finished off Di Jiu, these three Soul Essence Fruits would probably not be their turn, even if they were a few early Jindan cultivators. Since the Soul Essence Fruits would not be their turn, why offend a big clan? It would be better to seize the time to cultivate in this blue pool.
The eighth level Jindan cultivator did not stop these few people from exiting, in his opinion it was best for all of them to exit, just him.
As the four men withdrew, Di Jiu’s long sword turned into a slashing sword qi and slashed out.
Seeing that Di Jiu still dared to take the initiative, the eighth level Jindan cultivator was really infuriated. A golden armor suddenly appeared in front of his chest, and he didn’t even bother to block Di Jiu’s blade qi as the long spear in his hand blasted at Di Jiu with a tearing sound.
“Boom, boom, boom!” The harsh blade qi blasted on the armour of this Jindan 8th level cultivator, although the onward blade qi did not break through the armour, the blade intent directly penetrated in, causing a chill to run through the body of this Jindan 8th level cultivator. He actually had a feeling that Di Jiu’s blade would definitely kill him before he would stop. It was a good thing that Di Jiu did not continue to strike at him behind him.
Even if Di Jiu’s sword did not follow this sword qi over, that kind of sword intent that would never return had already eroded him.
“Let’s all do it together, do him something and we’ll share it equally.” This Jindan 8th layer cultivator would no longer treat Di Jiu as a Jindan 1st layer mole, and as he spoke, the spear in his hand, which had been partially eroded by Di Jiu’s Feng Xiao blade, did not even hold back half of its power.
The remaining four Jindan cultivators were indeed a little late in making their move, not because they had not reacted, but when dealing with a mere Jindan first-level mole like Di Jiu, no one would show their cards in front of others.
Di Jiu, however, would not show any half-heartedness, although his Wind Xiao Blade was the first to attack that Jindan 8th layer cultivator, he knew exactly what he should do.
After the Wind Xiao Blade slashed out, he did not care about the lance that this Jindan eighth layer cultivator blasted at him, the long blade was offered up again and the fifth rift blade slashed at that Jindan seventh layer, while a fist blasted at the rest of the Jindan cultivators.
Of the two late Jindan cultivators, he had to take out one first, and he chose this seventh Jindan layer.
The rest of the Jindan cultivators moved a little behind, and after this Jindan eighth layer cultivator finished, the rest of them also sacrificed their magic treasures and blasted at Di Jiu.
Di Jiu’s Crest Gathering did not attack one person this time, but turned into three mountains of fists. Instead, his Cracking Blade was completely cleaving at the seventh level of Jindan.
This Jindan seventh layer cultivator had not done it at full strength, no matter what, there was a soul element fruit for him, and now when he saw that Di Jiu had actually chosen him as his target, he was furious in his heart. The twin cymbals were offered at full strength with an ear-splitting sound that tore through space, wanting to tear Di Jiu to pieces.
“Boom!” The cracked blade wave and the twin cymbals collided together, sending out a sky of true essence and slowing down the momentum of the twin cymbals. The seventh level Jindan cultivator’s heart shook wildly, his cymbals were at full strength, but they only blocked Di Jiu’s slash, and after the cymbals blocked the slash wave, the true essence that came back from the cymbals caused his dantian to gush.
This cultivator in front of him was definitely not a Jindan layer!
The moment this Jindan cultivator sensed that Di Jiu was not at the Jindan layer, the remaining momentum of Di Jiu’s Cracking Blade had already blasted at his body.
How could it not be completely blocked? This Jindan seventh layer cultivator was increasingly shocked in his heart. Even though Di Jiu’s Cracking Blade was no longer a threat to his life after being blocked by his double cymbals, the fact that he had failed to block this wave of Di Jiu’s blade with his full strength indicated that not only was Di Jiu not a Jindan layer, but he was also a cultivator of somewhat higher strength than him.
“Boom boom boom!” Almost at the same time, the three fist winds gathered by Di Jiu’s peaks and the attacks of the remaining three Jindan cultivators blasted together, Di Jiu opened his mouth and spurted out an arrow of blood, followed by a poof, a blood light splashed out from Di Jiu’s waist.
Even though Di Jiu’s Feng Xiao Blade was the first to strike at the eighth level Jindan cultivator, this eighth level Jindan cultivator still blocked Di Jiu’s Feng Xiao Blade before bringing a deep bloody groove in Di Jiu’s waist with a shot.
This was because Di Jiu had temporarily twisted his body, otherwise, this shot would have directly torn him halfway around his waist.
