“That woman was definitely a Dao-combined being, she sneaked up on me, and in my haste to fight back, I ended up causing a backlash, depressing my Dao rhythm and collapsing my Dao base. However, my instantaneous counterattack after being sneak attacked also left her badly injured. Although she was badly injured, she still had the ability to put me to death, and just when I thought I was bound to die and was all set to seek reincarnation, Elder You of the Age Cold Valley suddenly pa*sed by, and Elder You saved me.” Ling Xiaoxiang still sighed when she said this.
One could only say that she was too unlucky, if she had been given a little more chance, then today she would at least be a top-level Hedao powerhouse, why would she have fallen to this state?
Di Jiu asked, “And then you followed You to the Age Cold Valley in the Taiji Realm?”
Ling Xiaoshen nodded, “Yes, at that time Elder You was also injured after saving me, he said that my Dao base had collapsed into nirvana, so I might as well come with him to the Ages Cold Valley to heal my injuries. Although the Ages Cold Valley may not be able to make me completely recover from my injuries, it is not so bad that my injuries will worsen.”
“Is that woman’s tactics still very powerful after her injury?” Di Jiu followed and asked.
Ling Xiaoxiang shook her head, “That woman I felt was of average strength, in fact if she hadn’t sneaked up on me the moment I crossed into Hedao, I could definitely have killed her. Even so, she was still seriously injured by my counterattack.”
“Then how was Elder You’s battle with her?” Di Jiu asked again.
Ling Xiaoshuang obviously remembered this scene extremely well, and she immediately replied, “You made the first move on her as soon as she came up, and because she was injured and moved slowly, she was injured again. But that woman’s tactics were terrifying, she actually rushed towards Elder You and used her domain to lock up Elder You while exploding herself. It was in her self-explosion that Elder You was seriously injured.”
Di Jiu immediately grasped the point in question, “Xiaoshang, let me ask you a few questions now. According to what you said, the woman who sneaked up on you at that time was already seriously injured, and You was seriously injured in her self-explosion. Does that mean that she didn’t have a chance to escape at all at that time? Otherwise, why would she have exploded herself?”
Ling Xiaoshen froze, and then she frowned, the situation at that time was that You was blocking the entrance to the cave’s protective formation, and the woman who had sneaked up on her was seriously injured by her backlash, but it wasn’t as if there was no hope at all for the other party to escape if she went all out.
“At that time, her hope of escaping was slim, but there was a slight chance.” Ling Xiaoxiang told the truth.
Di Jiu chuckled, “That woman sneaked up on you, obviously she wanted to obtain something from you, or obtain your chance or something like that. This kind of people are ambitious people, they definitely won’t just casually blow themselves up. And I heard you say that as soon as that woman fought with You, she just blew herself up after You sneaked up on her, which is not normal.”
Ling Xiaoshen was stunned, she naturally understood the meaning of Di Jiu’s words, but then she shook her head and said, “That is absolutely impossible, You was badly injured and forced that woman to blow herself up.”
She was not willing to speculate on the bad side of human nature, and she did not believe that You would come with an agenda, or even join forces with that woman against her. In the end, she even killed her own companion to achieve her goal.
Di Jiu said again, “The next problem is that You said you could be in the Aged Cold Valley without at least deteriorating, and in fact your injuries have obviously deteriorated here.”
Ling Xiaoshang had to say, “Brother Di, Elder You should have been sincere in saving me. It would have been difficult for me to continue surviving in that condition even in the Void, and he brought me to the Ages Cold Valley or wanted to help me. I’m afraid even he himself doesn’t know that my injuries are simply impossible to turn back. I know that there are too many sinister and cunning cultivators in the universe, and I still believe that there is more good in this universe. I have met many kind and selfless friends who have helped me a lot.”
This was a euphemism to tell Di Jiu that although one should not be defensive, one should not go too far and cause oneself to be very tired this time.
Di Jiu said indifferently, “If I were like you, I don’t know how many times I would have been eaten. Not only am I now sure that You are uncomfortable with you, but I also know that you have something on you that You must get, even though I don’t know where you have it stowed away.”
If it was a long time ago, Ling Xiaoxiang would never have continued talking to Di Jiu. The current Ling Xiaoxiang was long ago not the simple young girl who had been a fledgling back then.
She first pondered for a while before she looked at Di Jiu and asked seriously, “Brother Di, since you are saying this, then you must have a basis, right?”
“That’s right.” Di Jiu said, “Remember when I asked you before if you were cultivating here, or even sure that you had cultivated here?”
“Yes, but I haven’t cultivated.” Ling Xiaoxiang replied in confusion.
“That’s where the problem lies.” Di Jiu sneered, “I am extremely sensitive to the rules of heaven and earth, the rules of heaven and earth in the Ages Cold Valley contain a special aura in them, you haven’t cultivated, yet I felt this rule aura in your body.”
In fact, what Di Jiu felt was not a special aura of rules, but a basic rule dao rhyme, the rules of heaven and earth in every place had countless basic rules built into them, and the Age Cold Valley was naturally no exception.
Di Jiu cultivated the Great Dao of Rules and had an extremely thorough understanding of all kinds of basic laws, so he could clearly feel it as long as he was in it. It was precisely because he sensed that Ling Xiaoshuang had the basic dao rhythm of the Age Cold Valley on her that he suspected that Ling Xiaoshuang had cultivated here.
Since Ling Xiaoshuang hadn’t cultivated, the only possibility was that she had made a move with an Age Cold Valley cultivator before she was injured, and that this Basic Law Dao Rhyme aura that the Age Cold Valley cultivator had blasted onto her body hadn’t dissipated.
“Ah …….” Ling Xiaoxiang gave a startled ah, and then frowned. If others had said that, she might have thought it was staged. The aura contained in the Heaven and Earth rules could still be felt? Wouldn’t that be a bit too much nonsense? Yet she did not doubt Di Jiu, it was a completely subconscious trust.
As Ling Xiaoshen was thinking about the coincidental timing of You’s appearance at that time, Di Jiu said, “Don’t you think the timing of that You’s appearance was too clever? If it had been a little later, perhaps you would have gone. Whether it was gone for the Yuan Shen or a trace of soul thoughts.”
“But that sneak attack on me was clearly not You, could it be that the woman was also from the Ages Cold Valley? But after I came to the Ages Cold Valley, I only heard that the Ages Cold Valley had produced one strong person of the Harmonious Dao, which was Elder You.” Ling Xiaoshen said with growing doubts, she was already a little shaken deep inside by Di Jiu’s words.
Di Jiu said calmly, “Right now I’m not sure yet, but once I see Elder You, I will immediately determine if that woman is You.”
“What?” Ling Xiaoshen was stunned, then she calmed down, what Di Jiu said wasn’t mysterious. It was just that You was a male cultivator, how could a male cultivator not cultivate into a woman even if he was cultivating a doppelganger?
When Di Jiu saw Ling Xiaoshuang’s expression, he knew that Ling Xiaoshuang had guessed what he wanted to say and continued, “I suspect that Elder You cultivates a splitting divine ability, and that woman is most likely his splitting body. I’ll say a few things and you confirm them. Firstly, was he particularly quick when he came to save you? This is because the most powerful diversion is this kind of mutual movement divine ability.
Secondly, when the woman was seriously injured, she wrapped herself around him and blew herself up, was there nothing left of the woman after she blew herself up? If so, that would be correct, as the doppelganger’s self-destruction would also harm the original. I suspect that You absorbed all the Daoist essence and blood from the doppelganger’s self-explosion. Although he was injured, he would recover again after coming back to close up for a million or eight thousand years. If I’m not wrong, You should recover soon. If it wasn’t his own doppelganger who blew himself up, but was wrapped up in a true Dao Harmony cultivator’s self-destruction, hehe, ten thousand years would be considered good even if he could recover a fifth of the time, not to mention recovering completely.”
Ling Xiaoxiang took a deep breath, she suddenly understood somewhat why when Di Jiu asked Lord Suyuan to let her go, Lord Suyuan was a little hesitant. She had not thought about leaving before, and if she had wanted to leave before, she would definitely not have been able to leave.
