The female cultivator hurriedly crushed the jade slip in her hand into crumbs, and her divine thoughts swept out to observe for a while longer, before she withdrew them and sighed in relief.
She didn’t understand why that pretty sister had given her the small jade slip fragment, knowing that if those people in the Heavenly Beyond knew about it, she was afraid that even the crumbs of her bones would be turned into dust. To tell that backstabbing Di Jiu? Unless she, Yi Shu, was impatient to live.
……
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are doing.
He was not able to break through to the mixed element even if he continued his seclusion. If he wanted to cross over to the mixed element, he had to have an opportunity, and this opportunity was obviously not something that could be obtained through seclusion. Even if it could be obtained in seclusion, it would take at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.
It was impossible for Di Jiu to spend so much time in seclusion just to break through to the mixed element.
“How was the harvest?” Seeing Di Jiu come out of seclusion, Ling Xiaoshuang stood up.
Di Jiu shook his head, “Hardly any gains, I’ll control the airship, you go and cultivate.”
Ling Xiaoxiang smiled, “This airship you refined is very good, I estimate that in another two to three years we will be close to the edge of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. It doesn’t really matter if two or three years is the time to go on retreat.”
Ling Xiaoxiang’s cultivation level had already been completely solidified at the early stage of Hedao, and although the thousands of years in the Age Cold Valley looked like a drain, it actually amounted to a kind of sublimation in silence, which was just as beneficial to her cultivation.
But having said that, she still handed over the control of the flying shuttle to Di Jiu.
As soon as Di Jiu’s divine thoughts came into contact with the flying shuttle, the speed of the shuttle steeply increased by a big notch. Ling Xiaoshen looked at Di Jiu in a daze for a while before she said, “Brother Di, your divine thoughts are much stronger than mine.”
A Dao Yuan cultivator’s divine thoughts were even stronger than hers as a Hedao cultivator, even Ling Xiaoxiang was a little baffled. Originally, she thought that although Di Jiu’s divine thoughts were not bad, they were still slightly inferior to hers, but now it seemed that she had made a big mistake.
Now that Di Jiu was controlling the shuttle, the speed was more than twice as fast as her control.
Di Jiu smiled, “Xiaoshuang, if it’s about divine thoughts, I won’t be better than you. But there is one thing, my divine thoughts are more condensed than yours. What’s more, this flying shuttle was refined by me, and it fits my divine thoughts almost perfectly. If you want to refine flying magic treasures in the future, you can look for me, and when I refine them, you can use your essence blood to match. That way, the flying magic treasure refined will be as fast as you want it to be.”
“Good.” Ling Xiaoxiang knew that if she wanted to reach Di Jiu’s level of refinement, it was probably unlikely that she would be able to do so. It would be lucky to meet one cultivator as amazing as Di Jiu.
Instead, she had met three before and after, and the first one had always been somewhat estranged from her, and she hadn’t even had the chance to become his friend. The reason for this is that she was once too naive, always looking at things superficially and doing a lot of stupid things.
Her master was right when he said that sometimes what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is not always true. Only what you feel with your heart is true. Before, she did not quite understand why it was not true when she could see it clearly. It was only later, as her Dao progressed and she encountered more things, that she slowly gained some clarity. Even then, had Di Jiu not saved her, she would still have thought that You was the benefactor who saved her.
The second one she didn’t even have the chance to befriend, and could only watch from afar his great decay that shook one side of the universe, and even in his decay, his aura made the rest of the third-step great powers not dare to come forward.
In the end it was due to chance, because of his Daoist partner Yan Ji, she spoke to him and was given a gun talisman by him, which allowed her to kill a half-step third-step Daolord who wanted to make a move on her.
Di Jiu, the third one in front of her, not only saved her, but also became her friend.
……
After Di Jiu controlled the flying shuttle, the speed became faster and faster. In just a short span of eight months, a vague and huge outline appeared under Di Jiu’s divine thoughts.
Di Jiu slowed down the flying shuttle, “Xiaoshuang, it looks like we have reached the edge of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.”
Ling Xiaoshang also stood up, her eyes were filled with excitement. After so many years apart, she was finally back, she had once again returned to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.
Once she reached the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, she might be able to return to the Void City and then back to the Sacred Dao Realm. She wondered how her master was doing, and how those of her sisters and brothers were doing.
As the shuttle stopped, Ling Xiaoxiang looked at the Heaven’s Beyond Square which looked a little depressed and sighed, “Back when I came here, it was packed with people and filled with cultivators from the Vast Universe, whereas today there are only five sparse people.”
“Those few people should still be guarding, they walked over.” Di Jiu said as he put away the flying shuttle.
“It should be an extremely high quality flying divine weapon, I’m sure I’m not wrong.” A man of medium stature lowered his voice and said, he was sure that the one Di Jiu had put away was an extremely high quality flying divine weapon.
“Yes, I saw it clearly too.” Another cultivator beside him said.
As cultivators guarding the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, they knew very well what kind of person was able to control an extremely high quality flying divine weapon to come here. This kind of person was afraid that they wouldn’t dare to steal their own Extreme Flying Divine Vessel even if they left it in the square.
Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshen stood still, as these few people had already walked towards him, and he could even hear the conversation of a few people clearly.
Five individual Dao Transformation cultivators, he really didn’t put them in his eyes.
“Two fellow Daoists please, I haven’t seen them before, I wonder if this is the first time you’ve come to the Xuanhuang Heaven Beyond?” The leader was a tall, thin male cultivator with peak Dao of Transformation strength.
“That’s right, this is our first time here.” Di Jiu said.
The tall, thin male cultivator could not tell Di Jiu’s cultivation level, nor could he tell Ling Xiaoshuang’s strength, plus recognizing that Di Jiu was controlling an extremely high quality flying divine weapon, he could only say respectfully, “Two fellow Daoists, if you are coming to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven for the first time, you need to show the identity proof jade token of your realm.”
“A jade token of identification?” Di Jiu immediately frowned a little as he glanced at Ling Xiaoshen. He had never been to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, but Ling Xiaoshuang had been here before, so Ling Xiaoshuang should be familiar with what rules there were here.
Ling Xiaoshuang shook her head, “I don’t know such rules, back then there were none here.”
The tall thin man saw Di Jiu frowning and hurriedly explained, “There used to be many strong people hogging the land in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven before, and these strong people made a mess of the Outer Heaven. Later, Elder Xun and a few seniors came to the Outer Heaven and tidied up the Outer Heaven, and now the Outer Heaven is safe. In order to prevent those unsafe factors, so cultivators from all major realms coming to the Outer Heaven need some clan recommendation. Or pay a certain amount of divine crystals to get a replacement jade tag in the Outer Heaven.”
Di Jiu laughed coldly, “Is it true that the ones that the major realms can recommend to come to the Outer Heaven are all a fixed number of sects?”
“That, we’re not quite sure.” The tall thin male cultivator hesitated for a moment and said, he was sure that the few of himself could not afford to offend Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshen.
“Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you, tell me, how many divine crystals do the two of us need to pay to go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven?” Di Jiu was too lazy to continue nagging with the few guardians.
The tall, thin man said, “One is one million upper grade divine crystals, and after entering, you can go to the Heavenly Master Hall in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven to be a*sessed.”
“What does that mean?” Di Jiu asked.
The tall, thin man explained, “It means that this one million upper grade divine crystals is the fee for entering the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, and if you want to stay in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven for a long time, you have to a*sess how many divine crystals you need to pay each year. If you can’t pay the divine crystals, you can only leave the place.”
“Hehe, so that means the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven is that Old Ancestor Xun’s call? This is his backyard?” Di Jiu was already not going to pay the divine crystals.
If he paid a few tens of thousands of divine crystals, he would have done so. But paying a million at a time, and having to go in for evaluation after paying a million up, made him very unhappy.
According to the information he had inquired, the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven was the intersection point of the major realms, and anyone could come to this place, as long as you didn’t cause any trouble.
Hearing Di Jiu’s unpleasant tone, this tall, thin male cultivator said respectfully, “We only guard this place, we don’t know anything else.”
As a guardian, he had been here for many years. What cultivator had he not seen in all these years? The best thing for him at this time was to remain calm and then try to avoid clashing with each other. No matter how bullish a cultivator came here, they could only be arrogant for a while in the Heaven’s Beyond Square, and when they entered the Heaven’s Beyond, they usually disappeared.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have a single piece of crumbled divine crystal right now. You are guarding, I am too lazy to bother with you, you have two choices, be killed by me and then I will enter the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. Secondly just pretend that you don’t know anything and I’ll still enter the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven.” After saying that, Di Jiu did not hesitate to walk towards where the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven’s formation gate was.
Seeing Di Jiu walk over, Ling Xiaoshen naturally did not hesitate half-heartedly.
