When he came out of the Five Continents City, Di Jiu was still more careful. He didn’t use the teleportation array at that time, but used the divine thought to vanish.
Now that Di Jiu’s Consciousness Sea divine Mind had crossed into the tenth level and was almost at the peak of the entire Little Central World, he didn’t care so much whether or not Shu Hao Lan would block him.
If it was faster to take the teleportation formation, Di Jiu would definitely take it. However, now that he had crossed the third level of the Sea Pioneer Realm and his divine thoughts had even reached the tenth level, it was faster for him to use his divine thoughts to vanish than the teleportation formation.
At the beginning, he had evaded for many days, but now, he had not even arrived for half a day before he was once again on the outskirts of the night-worshipping lake.
This was even if he did not use his full power to transport himself, if he used his divine mind to transport himself, he would only need less than an hour. When his cultivation level was a little stronger, he might be back in just one thought. It was only at this point that Di Jiu was even more grateful for how lucky he had been to get the Divine Thought Transport in the first place.
There were still a few people looking for the Scorching God Gra*s by the lake, it looked like the news that the Scorching God Gra*s could condense the sea of consciousness and strengthen the divine thoughts had not yet spread.
Di Jiu looked at the distant Bay Night Lake that was tilted in the air and took in a breath. When he got out of the Night Burying Lake, he could go and challenge Ren Hai. After he had finished with Ren Hai, he would immediately return to Ji Guo to take revenge.
There would always be a thorn across his heart if the revenge of his broken family was not avenged.
……
The same five great sects’ patriarchs, but he was the only one who was at the sixth level of Transformation Truth.
The two years or so he has been in seclusion, trying to break through the sixth level of the True Transformation to cross over to the late stage of the True Transformation, but every time he has failed to do so. In recent times, he had become more and more restless in his cultivation. With a sigh, Shu Hao Lan could only stop his retreat.
He blamed Di Jiu, that little beast, for if it wasn’t for Di Jiu, he would still be in the late stage of True Transformation. Unfortunately, the spies he had placed at the Bay Night Lake had not given him any news so far. Not only that, he had not heard any news of Di Jiu in other places either.
Because he had not appeared in the Little Central World for a long time, Di Jiu’s ranking had slipped on the potential list.
Thinking about the Baying Night Lake, Shu Hao Lan suddenly thought of what Jiu Qi had done in the past few years. Although Jiu Qi was a genius disciple of the Kun Sect and even a strong contender for the next Patriarch, the matter of recruiting disciples had nothing halfway to do with Jiu Qi.
Jiu Qi didn’t know what was going on, but he had actually recruited seven inner disciples one after another. It was normal for a man of Jiu Qi’s stature to recruit a few people. However, he had recruited seven disciples in a row, and all of them were rewarded with the Scorching God Gra*s.
According to Jiu Qi, those who can find ten Scorching God Gra*ses in the Bay Night Lake must not have weak divine thoughts. Besides, he was not the same one who did this, the remaining four of the five dukes of the sea list were also doing this. It seems that the five dukes of the sea list are all thinking of the clan.
The Sizzling God Gra*s was something that Shu Hao Lan knew could stimulate the sea of consciousness and could even raise a little bit of divine thought. But this thing could not be used at all, because using the Scorching God Gra*s had more bad effects than good. Long-term use of the Sizzling God Gra*s would completely crack the sea of consciousness, and the more serious ones could even turn a cultivator who took the Sizzling God Gra*s for a long time into an idiot.
Shu Hao Lan frowned, he had some doubts whether Ju Qi was really doing this for the sake of the sect’s development.
Thinking of this, Shu Hao Lan sent out a direct message.
In just a little half an incense’s time, Jiu Qi landed outside the cave where he was in seclusion and said in a respectful voice, “Disciple Jiu Qi has met the sect master, I wonder what the sect master has called disciple here for?”
With a slight smile, Shu Hao Lan said, “You are already at the first level of the Cultivated Tripod, so you are considered an outer elder of my Kun Sect, so for the time being, you should not call yourself a disciple. It’s like this, I plan to put you in charge of the clan’s external affairs, what do you think?”
Jiu Qi was shocked, becoming an outer affairs elder, what kind of cultivation time did he have? Clan tasks, recruiting disciples, and external reception were all matters for the External Affairs Elders.
“Sovereign, I feel that my cultivation level is not enough, so I am afraid that becoming an External Elder now would delay the sect’s affairs.” Jiu Qi did not think much about it and told the truth.
Shu Hao Lan already understood that Jiu Qi was not really recruiting disciples for the sake of the sect, there must be other reasons for this. He nodded and continued, “Then you are looking for the Scorching God Gra*s, can you tell me what the reason is?”
Jiu Qi was stunned, hadn’t this matter been asked once? Why did he come to ask again? Then he thought of the Patriarch’s words before, it looked like the Patriarch knew that he was not really recruiting disciples for the sect by collecting the Scorching God Gra*s.
“What, is there something you can’t say even in front of me?” Seeing that Ju Qi hesitated a little, Shu Hao Lan said lightly, his tone slightly heavier.
Jiu Qi fell to his knees this time, “Please forgive me, Sovereign, my disciple has deceived Sovereign, it’s just that my disciple has no way to say ah.”
Jiu Qi understood that the Patriarch must have been suspicious.
“Why?”
“Back then, disciple and Yan Tashan, Gun Yan Tao, Mu Qi Sha and Fang Wu Huan went to explore a secret realm and found a tattered jade slip. What was written on it was simply appalling, and the few of us had to swear to each other not to say anything in order to keep things from leaking out.” Ju Qi said respectfully.
It wasn’t that he intended to deceive the Sovereign, but when they got that broken jade slip at that time, everyone had said that anyone who spoke about it would be turned into ashes by the thunderbolt. This kind of oath, no one dared to casually ignore it anymore.
Sure enough there was a secret, Shu Hao Lan frowned slightly, after a while he said, “Since you can’t say anything, then you can use the jade slip to carve it down for me.”
Jiu Qi didn’t say anything, what they had taken was the essence blood thunder oath, once it was leaked then it was a thunderbolt that turned into ashes. As for whether the vow made would turn out to be true once the vow was broken, no one would doubt it. This kind of essence blood oath would turn out to be true 100% of the time.
What was the difference between the Sovereign asking him to carve it down with his divine thoughts and saying it out loud? It was just as much within the vow.
Seeing this, Shu Hao Lan was no good at continuing to press, and took out a light golden talisman from his ring and handed it to Ju Qi, “This is for you, speak.”
“Oath breaking talisman!” Jiu Qi uttered in shock, this was not just an oath breaking talisman, it was also a talisman that transcended the cultivation world, it should be a level ten talisman. A tenth level talisman was an immortal talisman in the cultivation world.
Jiu Qi knelt down once again and said, “Thank you very much, Sovereign.”
After saying this, he did not hesitate to carve a jade slip and handed it to Shu Haolan.
Shu Hao Lan took the jade slip and when his divine thoughts landed on it, he almost jumped up and muttered under his breath, “The Divine Thoughts Forging Chapter ……”
At this time Shu Hao Lan was thoroughly understood, the Sizzling God Gra*s alone was useless to eat and had bad effects, but using the Divine Thought Forging plus the Sizzling God Gra*s, it was simply a powerful tool to enhance the Sea of Consciousness and Divine Thought.
When Di Jiu first told Fu Che that the Sizzling God Gra*s could raise the divine mind, it was because he already knew the divine mind forging technique, he didn’t even think that the Sizzling God Gra*s had to be used in conjunction with the divine mind forging. If he had known that he had to learn the Divine Numinous Forging to use the Scorching God Gra*s, he would not have told Fu Che about it.
After he knew that the Scorching God Gra*s could enhance the divine mind and expand the sea of consciousness, Shu Hao Lan couldn’t stay for a minute. The first thing he did was to leave the clan and head for the Bay Night Lake.
The most important thing for a cultivator was not cultivation, but the enhancement of divine thoughts.
……
When he landed by the Bay Night Lake, Shu Hao Lan was still excited in his heart. If he hadn’t been paying attention to the Bay Night Lake, he might not have known about the usefulness of the Scorching God Gra*s until now.
This kid Jiu Qi was really deep in hiding, not just him, but the rest of the four males were just as hidden. If he doesn’t progress, in a few years, I’m afraid no one in the small central world will know who his uncle Haolan is.
Di Jiu? Shu Hao Lan was almost trembling with excitement.
He did not expect to see the person he had dreamed of catching, Di Jiu, as soon as he arrived at the Byzantine Lake.
At this moment, Shu Hao Lan was not in the mood to blame anyone for not informing him that Di Jiu had arrived at the Bay Night Lake, so he took a step in and raised his hand to slap Di Jiu.
Di Jiu was too cunning, even though he knew that Di Jiu could not get away, he still hurt Di Jiu first.
Di Jiu’s cultivation level at the third level of the Sea Pioneer Realm was not even close to that of Shu Hao Lan at the True Transformation Realm. If he were to fight Shu Hao Lan head on, even if he had a seventh level blade formation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to support him for even one round and would be finished off by Shu Hao Lan.
However, his divine mind was beyond the reach of Shu Hao Lan, a level 10 divine mind, which was far higher than Shu Hao Lan.
The difference in divine thought between Shu Hao Lan and him was even greater than the difference in cultivation level between him and Shu Hao Lan.
Almost the moment Shu Haolan crossed over, Di Jiu sensed it, and he did not hesitate to rush into the Baying Night Lake.
“Boom!” Even if Di Jiu was fast, the edge of this slap from Shu Hao Lan still hit Di Jiu. Ka-ching! Di Jiu’s Zun Realm flesh body was also shattered by the slap, and an arrow of blood spurted out from his open mouth, and his entire body even flung into the depths of the Baying Night Lake like a kite with a broken string.
With Di Jiu’s current cultivation level and divine mind, he had every opportunity to use his divine mind to vanish away. The moment Shu Hao Lan attacked him without asking, Di Jiu knew that he absolutely could not escape.
