Jia Ao took a breath and was about to speak when he sensed an aura of death. As he was reaching the end of his life span, he was very sensitive to death, and even though this deathly aura pa*sed by in a flash, not even half a breath, it was still felt by him.
This aura of death was like a pot of cold water pouring down from the top of his head, causing him to jolt and instantly wake up.
He would indeed be silenced if he searched for a sect’s cultivator who had transformed into a true being, but would he not be silenced if he searched for the strongest of the five sects at the same time to tell the news of the World Book?
A kind of sadness rushed to his heart, was he larded? He had actually come to the Golden Dan realm with a rotting wood to ask for favours from a few of the top sects’ Transformed Truth cultivators. If he wasn’t looking for death, why would he come to do such an idiot thing?
If he could think about it more calmly, would he still do it? The answer was definitely no.
But at that time, he just couldn’t think about it calmly, the Golden Dan lived for five hundred years, he was now about to be over four hundred and ninety years old, he was too anxious, too desperate to get the opportunity to break through, and that’s why he did such a stupid thing.
“Don’t worry, take your time, you have great merit in this matter, no matter what the result is, I will guarantee you to cross into the Yuan-Soul realm, plus five more years.
The lifespan of the Yuan Soul realm is eight hundred years, adding another five aeons is to allow Jia Ao to live another three hundred years.
If he hadn’t felt that flash of death, Jia Ao might have been so excited again that he would have forgotten everything. But now, he was clear that he was bound to die whether he said it or not.
That is to say, at the time he wanted to use the World Book message to gain the benefits of cultivation, he had already crossed one foot into the grave.
He understood that aura of death, that was someone here trying to kill him, to give him that aura. If he were the Patriarch of one of the five great sects, he would never allow a mole who knew the whereabouts of the World Book to live.
With a sigh, Jia Ao said calmly, “This is a long story, the reason why I was able to know about the World Book ……”
Just after the five great patriarchs were brought in by Jia Ao’s words, the true essence in Jia Ao’s hand was spat out, and the Golden Dan layer cultivator he was carrying in his hand had his vitality extinguished and his sea of consciousness was churned to pieces.
At the same time, Jia Ao cut off his own vitality, and the remnants of his divine thoughts even churned up his own sea of consciousness directly. Since they all wanted him dead, let these few patriarchs rack their brains to figure out the whereabouts of the World Book.
When Jia Ao paused in his words, several great sect masters reacted, and the Purple Thunder Sect Master, Yan Xinyi, rushed to Jia Ao’s side at the first opportunity, before he could grab Jia Ao, his true essence had already completely bound Jia Ao.
In his heart, Yan Xinyi understood that he was still a step too late, Jia Ao had committed suicide and died before this instant.
“What’s going on?” The remaining few True Transformation powerhouses all had extremely ugly faces, all of their divine thoughts fell on Jia Ao.
“He met his own death, and before he met his own death he also killed this Golden Dan layer cultivator he brought with him ……” Yan Xinyi’s face was gloomy, he was sure that Jia Ao’s meteoric death did not happen suddenly, someone here must have made him understand that his death was certain. This kind of instantaneous killing intent against Jia Ao can only be perceived by Jia Ao himself.
But here were the five great sect masters, each of whom was a strong person of the True Transformation, and they were not far apart, so he, Yan Xinyi, could not directly blame who had done the brain-dead thing that caused Jia Ao’s self-fall.
The face of Kun Sect Patriarch Shu Hao Lan was even more gloomy than the rest of the patriarchs, and he was chagrined in his heart. He knew very well why Jia Ao had committed suicide, and that was because he had thought of silencing Jia Ao at the same time that he had revealed the World Book.
It was just that such a thought flickered, and it was reasonable to say that an ordinary cultivator would not be able to detect it at all. What he had never expected was that Jia Ao was already dying, with only a few years left to live. This kind of dying cultivator was most sensitive to the smell of death.
He would never admit to such a thing, and once he did, even if the remaining sect masters didn’t look for him, he would be flat out dwarfed.
“It’s not too late to search the sea of consciousness.” Ao Huang, the Palace Master of the Sea King Palace, said eagerly.
Yan Xinyi shook his head, “No way, this person is experienced enough to remember to stir up the sea of consciousness while killing and committing suicide. In any case, the World Book has news, and this matter should be true. Unfortunately, we don’t have any clues at all right now, the only thing we can be sure of is that the World Book is really in the Little Central World.”
“Check this Jia Ao first, and this Golden Dan layer that Jia Ao brought in to kill even more. If I’m not wrong, the real whereabouts of the World Book should not be known by Jia Ao, but by this Golden Dan layer cultivator who was brought by Jia Ao.” Void Sword Sect Patriarch Xiao Wu’s tone was icy cold.
If the World Book had a whereabouts, then they would most likely gain the opportunity to leave the Central Small World and enter a higher level, now that this soon-to-be whereabouts had suddenly disappeared, it would not be pleasant to anyone’s heart.
……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
Five days later, when Di Jiu’s divine thoughts and true essence were exhausted, only then did he stop. According to his calculation, he should be very far away from Wu Lu City now.
After digging a cave in a hidden valley, the first thing Di Jiu did when he entered was to refine magic treasures.
He had mountains of materials on him, all of which he had gotten from the Qi Family Merchant House, and now he had to improve his refinement level and then refine a good disguise spirit weapon.
Piles and piles of materials were consumed by Di Jiu, and because of the Dao Firelight Starry Sky, Di Jiu’s refining level rose rapidly. Two months later, Di Jiu advanced to the rank of Fourth Grade Alchemy Master and could refine lower grade spirit weapons.
Although Di Jiu wanted very much to take his refining level to another level, unfortunately he had no more materials. Among the materials in the Qi Family Merchant House, there were very few grade five or above materials.
Learning to refine was a costly task, and he had used so many Grade 4 materials from the Qi Family Merchant House to cross over to the ranks of Grade 4 master refiners, and to cross over to Grade 5 master refiners, he would need just as many Grade 5 materials.
Di Jiu chose one of the better disguise artifacts from the lower grade artifacts he had refined and disguised himself as an unconventional youth with some beard at the corners of his mouth. Di Jiu then refined a sheath for his Tian Sha.
His Tian Sha had to absorb the dao rhythm of heaven and earth before it could advance, otherwise Di Jiu would have sent the Tian Sha into the ring long ago.
After doing this Di Jiu was still not very relieved, even in the process of rushing, he was always tempering his divine thoughts. Only when his divine mind was strengthened would his divine mind recluse technique be stronger. In order not to attract the attention of others, Di Jiu tried many times before he controlled his cultivation breath fluctuations at the early stage of the Yuan Soul.
……
Sunset City.
When Di Jiu arrived here, it was two and a half months after he had left Wu Lu City.
Compared to the big cultivation cities like Tian Tu City and Wu Lu City, Sunset City was a bit run down. Confirming that there was no wanted notice for him, Di Jiu was slightly relieved and paid two medium-grade spirit stones to enter the city.
Entering Sunset City, Di Jiu saw the rugged streets that were patchy and unpleasant. The shops on both sides of the street looked just as dilapidated.
It was only after walking through two streets that Di Jiu saw a particular building. Compared to the surrounding dilapidated buildings, this building was like a crane standing tall and grand.
The entrance of the building read, Tianji Pavilion Mission Guild Sunset Branch.
Di Jiu walked in and found that there were even more people inside than the streets combined, giving Di Jiu the impression that most of the cultivators who came to Sunset City were there to enter the union.
As soon as Di Jiu entered, he heard a few cultivators talking, he stopped and pretended to look at the huge mission board while his attention was on the few cultivators who were talking.
“You don’t know, do you, I just got the news that Duke Gun of the Five Dukes has ascended to the 72nd floor, and the second place is not Duke Yan of the Void Sword Sect either, but Duke Mu of the Purple Thunder Sect, but it’s several floors less than Duke Gun, only sixty-nine.”
“This is just the beginning, many of those who are first in the Five Continents Dao Tower ahead of them may not necessarily end up being first. Besides, the Sea King Palace’s Gun Yan Tao is over two hundred years old, while the Void Sword Sect’s Yan Ta Shan is still far from two hundred years old, I heard. In terms of potential, Yan Tashan is higher than Gun Yan Tao and is also the strongest of the five masters.”
“Hehe, is there a difference within five hundred years of age under the Cultivation of the Multiplying Tripod?”
“Alas, it’s a pity, if it wasn’t for that mission to worship the night lake, I would have definitely gone to the Five Continents Dojo.”
“That’s okay, when this side is over, it’s not too late for us to go.”
……
Di Jiu listened for half a day, it was all about the Five Continents Daoist a*sociation’s tower ascent, no one mentioned anything about the World Book or the wanted notice at all, plus he didn’t see any wanted notice about him outside the city gate, could it be that things were different from what he thought?
According to Di Jiu’s thoughts, once the fact that he had stayed next to the World Book was leaked, there should be two possibilities. One possibility was that he was wanted, and as for the reason he might find one at random. The second possibility was to just reveal that he had something to do with the World Book, and then still be wanted. The second possibility might seem to reveal the World Book, but it would actually be easier to force him out.
As long as he was a top powerhouse, or powerful enough, no one would dare to hit the World Book alone, even if it was specified that it was on him.
But the fact that a guy several hundred years old was still called a gongzi made Di Jiu a bit speechless.
“Does my friend also want to go to the Bay Night Lake to collect the Scorching God Gra*s?” A loud voice asked at Di Jiu.
Only then did Di Jiu realise that the big screen he was looking at said exactly that the group was going to Bay Night Lake and that those who wanted to go would meet up at box number seven on the first floor.
“Scorching God Gra*s? What does this do?” Di Jiu was also considered to have seen a lot, even if he hadn’t read all the world books yet, he knew all the general things, this kind of Scorching God Gra*s was the first time he heard about it.
The person who asked Di Jiu was a middle-aged man with a frosty face, around the third level of the Yuan Soul. When he heard Di Jiu ask, he realized that Di Jiu didn’t even know about the Scorching God Gra*s, and immediately explained, “Fellow Daoist should have just arrived at Sunset City from a faraway place, right?”
Di Jiu immediately became alert, what did this mean? His divine thoughts penetrated out and only after being prepared to vanish at any time did he slowly say, “That’s right, I have to ask for advice.”
