A few more months pa*sed and Di Jiu stopped.
A huge mountain peak appeared at the edge of his divine thoughts, Di Jiu had never seen a real mountain peak in the ten years since he had entered the Vast Great Market.
In the Vast Great Market, there were grey coloured gobi, deserts, basins and so on everywhere. Whether it was water or mountains, Di Jiu had never encountered any.
If it wasn’t for the water attribute rule fragments in here, Di Jiu really doubted how the Five Element Beasts in here survived.
Even if the Five Element Beasts were cultivating demon beasts, they would not be able to lack something like water all the time.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed in his ring, which had materials that had long been piled up like mountains. Di Jiu decided to go to that one mountain peak to find a cave and then retreat for a while.
For Di Jiu, after reaching this level of cultivation, he was almost at a bottleneck, and without special external forces, it was absolutely impossible for him to cross into the Yuk Dao in the short term. So for him, the main purpose now was to refine weapons.
With his current strength, he would definitely not have any problem trying to deal with an ordinary Yuk Dao. But what if it was a stronger Yudao, or even a Dao of Transformation?
Although Di Jiu had many means, but who would care about more means? He still had one of his strongest divine abilities, the Blade Formation. It was just that after arriving in the Immortal Realm, his strength had risen so quickly that he hadn’t used the Blade Formation at all.
Now that he had arrived in the Dao Realm, having a strong Blade Formation was of vital importance to him. If he really met a strong person and really couldn’t beat them, he could use the Blade Formation plus the Great Law Formation to help. Once the Blade Formation came out, it would definitely be much more powerful than the Great Law Formation he had set up in haste.
If he couldn’t raise his cultivation quickly, then he would speed up his formation level.
As soon as Di Jiu deviated from the direction where the broken rules were concentrated, there were indeed fewer five element beasts around. After walking in the Vast Market for a long time, Di Jiu also knew that in the Vast Market, there were not only Five Element Beasts, but also some rule vortices.
If one did not get caught up in this kind of rule vortex, there would be no chance of death. Although Di Jiu had his ninth world, he could not lose his life if he fell into it. However, Di Jiu still felt that it was better for him to be careful and try not to use his divine mind to hide when he could.
The mountain peak was not far away from Di Jiu, and even if Di Jiu did not use his divine thought to vanish, it only took him half a column of time to arrive at the mountain peak.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts circled around this mountain peak and immediately knew that there was someone in retreat in this mountain peak, and this person should have the same thoughts as him. As for how many people were in seclusion, Di Jiu was not sure. But he didn’t care, this mountain peak was hundreds of miles in circumference, his staying here for retreat would not affect others.
An hour later, Di Jiu had already opened a cave in a remote place on this mountain peak, and had arranged a concealment formation outside the cave.
He was already a Level 2 divine Formation Master, so if he used the refined formation flags and the Law Formation Flags to set up the concealment and defence formations, unless a formation master whose formation dao far surpa*sed his came over, he would definitely not be able to see it.
After arranging the surroundings of his cave as if it was an iron pa*s, Di Jiu only left the monitoring formation and warning formation outside, while he himself entered the ninth world and started learning about smithing.
……
There are no years in cultivation, and there are also no years in refining weapons.
Di Jiu had a lot of materials on him, apart from some rare materials for refining that he had gotten between the two worlds, most of his materials came from the Vast Great Market.
The materials in the Vast Expanse Great Market basically all carried attribute rules. Generally speaking, materials with attribute rules were extraordinarily precious.
However, if all the materials carried attribute rules, they would not be considered precious. Generally speaking, all magic treasures have one main material, and then are refined with materials with attribute rules. If all the materials were refined with attribute rules, it would be the same as lacking a main backbone.
But Di Jiu didn’t care, all he refined were knives. These knives were all used in the knife formation, and his main knife was Tian Sha. Those countless attribute rule materials were divided into three, six and nine grades by Di Jiu. To learn how to refine weapons, one naturally started with the lowest level of materials.
From extremely high grade immortal weapons to pseudo divine weapons, and then to lower grade divine weapons ……
After three years, Di Jiu could barely refine a lower grade divine weapon. Five years later, the Lower Grade Divine Artifacts that Di Jiu had refined were already of an extremely high grade.
However, at this moment, the blade weapon that Di Jiu refined was not only an extremely high grade lower grade divine weapon, it even had five distinct elements. According to the characteristics of the materials he had obtained, Di Jiu had refined blade weapons with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It was a pity that he did not have the materials for the Wind, Thunder and Ice attributes with him, otherwise, he would definitely have to add three more attributes to the blade weapon he refined.
Lower-grade divine weapons with attributes were more useful to Di Jiu than normal lower-grade divine weapons, as the blade he had refined was for the purpose of setting up a blade formation.
The mountains of materials had also turned into nothing after five years of uninterrupted refining by Di Jiu. The Lower Divine Weapon long knives piled up around him were already nearly ten thousand in number, each of these Lower Divine Weapon long knives carried their own attributes.
Five years had pa*sed and Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed outside the cave, and there was even no trace of the forbidden system he had set up when he first entered.
He cultivated the rule dao, and the means to set up the formation dao was also formed according to the rules of the surrounding heaven and earth.
The broken rules of heaven and earth were also a kind of rule. The greatest advantage of arranging the means of formation dao in this way was that it could blend with the surrounding environment as one.
Without the materials for smithing, Di Jiu did not intend to go out. His cultivation level was at the late stage of Dao-shaping, so it would be difficult for him to succeed in breeding dao in the Vast Expanse Ruins.
To Di Jiu, what he longed for most in the Vast Expanse Ruins was to get a few Law Fragments out. The law fragments were of little use to him, but they were worth a lot of money, so if he could get a few of them, he would have his cultivation resources in the future.
As long as he did not fall in the Great Vast Market, it could almost be considered the safest place. Since it was safe, he had to make use of it to the utmost.
After he finished sacrificing all the blade weapons, Di Jiu once again took out a pile of divine spirit gra*ses. Apart from his own harvest, most of these divine spirit gra*ses were exchanged in the Lightless Sea.
Now he was going to use these alchemy materials to impact the Dao-shaping Dan God.
The reason why top-tier alchemists were even rarer than alchemists was because there were fewer and fewer of the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
According to the rule dao, anything in heaven and earth could be refined into a weapon, only that there were high and low weapons. Even the refining of low-level magic treasures can still allow the refiner to progress.
Alchemy, on the other hand, is different. Without high-level heavenly materials and treasures, it is difficult to improve the level of alchemy.
Even clans could not spend too much on heavenly materials and treasures to cultivate an alchemist. It would be even more difficult for a casual practitioner to become an alchemist.
Back when Di Jiu was at Honeycomb Beach, the reason why that Ji Mi dared to make a move was because Ji Mi was a low-level Dao-shaping Dan God. Even if it was the lowest grade among the Dao-shaping Dan Gods, Ji Mi still had a certain amount of prestige in the Lightless Sea God City.
At the beginning, Ji Mi had made his move against Di Jiu in the Lightless Sea, if he had made his move against Di Jiu in the Lightless Sea God City, there would have been an unknown number of cultivators who would have helped Ji Mi.
The Great Zodiac Cauldron was grabbed out by Di Jiu, and unlike the ordinary Dan Cauldron, the Great Zodiac Cauldron had five legs. Di Jiu respected Jian Ding and no longer used it to make pills. Originally, Di Jiu thought that he would never meet another pot that could match Jian Ding again. However, in Di Jiu’s opinion, the Great Zodiac Cauldron was no worse than the Jian Ding, or even stronger than the Jian Ding.
The reason why the Jian Ding was so powerful in refining pills was because the Jian Ding itself was made of Jian wood. And using wood to refine pills was originally a wasteful act, relying on the Jian Ding’s own breath to enhance its dan qi, sooner or later, the Jian Ding would dissipate in the universe.
The Great Zodiac Cauldron, on the other hand, was different. The Great Zodiac Cauldron, in which all things were transformed and the meaning of yin and yang was born, came to refine all things in heaven and earth.
A divine spirit herb was thrown into the Great Zodiac Cauldron by Di Jiu. Di Jiu didn’t start off by refining the Dao Shaping Divine Pill, he didn’t know many pill recipes in the first place, and now he wanted to start by purifying the low-level divine spirit herbs.
……
The Diffractive Dao Sect.
A woman wearing a grey linen dress walked out of the clan hall with a very unpleasant face, she was An Tu Ning, the valley master of the Diffractive Path Sect’s Diffractive Spring Valley.
There were not many Dan Gods in the Diffractive Path Sect, but this year, the sect master had named her to be in charge of the Dao Realm Dan River Competition, and she was sure that this was a plot by the old man Wang Teng of the Diffractive Rain Peak. Even if she was capable, she would still lose face this time, and even make the Diffraction Sect unable to lift its head.
But she couldn’t go, so An Tu Ning sighed and did her best. If she couldn’t, she could just keep a low profile and give up some of the sect’s resources.
