“Chopping off memories?” Di Jiu was startled, and then asked, “Zichen, do you mean I have to reincarnate and be reborn?”
Du ZiChen shook his head, “This is different from reincarnation and rebirth, you are not reincarnating, but looking back at the dao heart. There are several kinds of looking back. One is that you keep your physical body, reincarnate your divine soul, and after perfecting your dao heart, your physical body is restored in the future. The second is that you give up your physical body, which is the most difficult. Many people choose to do this and end up never coming back. The third is to retain your physical body and part of your divine soul, this kind of return is actually the worst, and the Dao is difficult to be completely repaired.”
“ZiChen, you kept emphasising the need to chop off your memories before, why?” Di Jiu had already made up his mind to look for the Returning Head Bodhi Seed.
Otherwise, he would be living a lingering life. Sometimes, not knowing anything and just living like a mortal in the mortal world, living an ordinary life was actually a kind of happiness. The more power you have, the more you know, the more scruples you have, and the more tired you are of living.
I’m not sure, I’m also considered one of those born from the opening of the Five Elements universe, so I have a premonition that if I don’t cut off my memories when I look back, I’m bound to be constrained again in the future. Maybe you can’t feel it now, when you cross over to a higher level, or even leave this side of the universe, maybe you will be able to feel it.”
“Thank you so much Zichen.” Di Jiu was really thankful to Du ZiChen, if it wasn’t for Du ZiChen explaining this to him, I’m afraid all he could do was to desperately cultivate and then still be stuck in the Hedao realm.
Du Zichen shook his head, “Di Jiu, when you use the Retrospective Bodhi Seed, someone who can make up for your Dao heart will appear in your life when you look back. Because you have cut off your memories, whether or not you can repair your dao heart will depend not only on your dao heart, but also on your qi luck. When your qi is missing, the person who can perfect your dao heart pa*ses by you and you still don’t realize it, and you can only muddle through your life, and in the end, you end up with nothing perfected as I said before, and your dao is completely shattered.”
After explaining all this to Di Jiu, Du Zichen did not persuade Di Jiu not to go in search of the Returning Bodhi Seed. This was because he was equally clear that Di Jiu was still a dead man if he did not perfect his Dao heart.
After perfecting the Dao Heart, there might still be a silver lining.
“ZiChen, I’m leaving, in the future if I can come back again, I will definitely come to Mount Wang.” After listening to Du ZiChen’s explanation, Di Jiu said without hesitation. As for the words that he couldn’t come back, Di Jiu didn’t bother to say it. If he couldn’t come back, everything would go up in smoke, and it would be a waste to say it.
……
A few months later, Di Jiu returned to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven once again. Before he left, he had to tell Nong Xiuqi.
Facing the silent Nong Xiuqi, Di Jiu was ashamed in his heart. This matter was caused by himself after all, and in fact Di Jiu already had an answer in his heart. His lack of dao heart was most likely due to Cao Xi.
The reason why Cao Xi had fallen was entirely to fill the Heavenly Witch River in his place. He refined the Heavenly Witch River and sensed the one dao rule that had vanished, and still didn’t find any half-hearted message about Cao Xie.
“You go, I’ll wait for you for ten thousand years, and you won’t come back after ten thousand years ……”
Di Jiu raised his hand to stop Nong Xiuqi from continuing, raised his hand to grab a blood pearl and handed it to Nong Xiuqi and said, “This is my original blood pearl, if I never come back, this blood pearl will shatter and fall apart. As long as the blood pearl is still there, I am unharmed.”
“I will be here to cultivate and wait for you.” Nong Xiuqi said firmly.
Di Jiu nodded, “I have arranged four five-sided flags here, even if a strong person from the Harmonious Realm comes, you can still control the flags to strangle him. Also, I have a true spirit world here with a few treasures in it, if Forgetfulness or Qiushui or Country Girl and the others come, you can give them at your discretion. The universe is too vast and we are too small. Just because we can’t find them now doesn’t mean we won’t find them in the future. In the future or we will be reunited in this place.”
Nong Xiuqi put away Di Jiu’s True Spirit World and hugged Di Jiu tightly, but she could not say the words to persuade Di Jiu to stay.
The reason why Di Jiu was going to search for the Returning Head Bodhi Seed had been explained to her long ago. Once Di Jiu failed to enter the third step, not only Di Jiu, but also she and her children would be nothing more than ants under the captivity of others.
Having come from the cultivation world to the Dao world, Nong Xiuqi had already understood too much. Blocking Di Jiu’s Dao was no different from blocking Di Jiu’s life.
……
After Di Jiu left and said goodbye to Nong Xiuqi, he didn’t delay half a second and went straight to the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge. The purpose of Ice Wind Daoist Monarch Yu Hao giving him the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge in the first place was to tell him that the Lord of the Immeasurable Palace had a Nirvana Realm and that this mirror could kill the most powerful third step.
Although Di Jiu knew that the Icewind Daoist Monarch had spoken somewhat exaggeratedly back then in order to stay alive, he still appreciated it today. Time was already tight for him, and if he spent many more years searching for the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge, it would definitely not be good for him.
Knowing the direction of the void, Di Jiu cast his Rule Transport Technique to the extreme, and it also took several years before he arrived outside the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge.
Even before he entered the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge, Di Jiu felt an icy cold. With his physical body that surpa*sed the Saint Body, he felt the icy cold, so he could see that it would be difficult for ordinary cultivators to come here and enter the depths of the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge.
In fact he hadn’t seen anyone a year ago, this side of the void was filled with extreme ice rule aura, which was very unfavourable to cultivation. It was estimated that most of the cultivators who came here were here to refine their bodies.
The place where the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge was located was littered with a stretch of grey and dark coloured peaks, which stretched out in the void and Di Jiu’s divine thoughts could not even sweep to the end.
There was no snow or ice to be seen, but it was even colder than snow and ice. With his strong physical body, Di Jiu directly stepped into the gorge of the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge.
The extreme ice cold rule swept over and all of Di Jiu’s clothes were shredded, Di Jiu sighed in his heart, this was still outside the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge. Once he entered the depths of the Five Elements Extreme Cold Gorge, how could he resist the ice cold?
As Di Jiu expected, every time Di Jiu took a step inside, he could feel his skin cracking open a few more times.
Di Jiu cultivated the rule dao and could quickly sense the rules of this place, plus he had a physical body that surpa*sed the saint body, walking in this place, his skin to his bones gradually cracked, so it could be seen that even if ordinary cultivators came here, they would at most wander around the outer edges.
Although that Ice Wind Daoist Monarch carried the word ice, Di Jiu suspected that the other party had not come as far as where he was either. Or perhaps the other party did not dare to walk here at all.
Knowing that he could inspire the talisman here, Di Jiu decided that it was better to continue walking in. With his cultivation level and physical body, he believed that he should be able to walk deeper into this canyon while sensing the Extreme Ice Rule.
Pffft! Di Jiu’s flesh kept being torn apart by the ice cold, and then his bones kept breaking. But Di Jiu’s sense of the ice attribute rules of this Extreme Cold Gorge was also becoming clearer and clearer, and he was also walking deeper and deeper at the same time.
When Di Jiu was completely immersed in this sense and moving forward, he completely forgot about the crippling of his fleshly body.
It was only when his leg bones were completely frozen and cracked by the ice cold and he was unable to continue walking that Di Jiu came to his senses and he stopped. At this moment, not only were his leg bones broken, there was hardly a good bone in his body.
This should be enough here, right? Di Jiu didn’t intend to move on either, the extremely cold ice attribute rules here, he could continue to come to his senses when he returned again in the future, but for now, he had to go and do his own thing.
In the distance, a diamond-shaped crystal attracted Di Jiu. The diamond-shaped crystal seemed to be suspended in the void, emitting a dazzling white aura, and the endless aura of extreme cold attribute rules was radiating from it.
As soon as Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed on it, they were immediately frozen to a standstill.
This was definitely something good, and even though all his leg bones were broken, Di Jiu moved over without hesitation and reached out to grab the diamond-shaped crystal.
