Chapter 498: Believe It or Not

Di Jiu just took out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron and sensed that there were a few people outside his Defense Array. He spread his Spiritual Force out and there were four people he did not recognize besides Shen Ziyu.

 How come Shen Ziyu had come again after a few days?

 …

 “This place is filled with mist. I can’t see anything. Is there any route?” Luo Weike asked in confusion once he reached the outside of the Wang Chuan Temple.

 “This is definitely a Defense Array. We can’t move forward anymore or we will get lost. Only the best immortal cultivator can set up a Defense Array. How could the Fairy Planet approach Earth and not be affected back then? It was because of the Defense Array. Those things were too far away from us, so we did not dare to imagine them previously. I didn’t expect that Senior Di would be an expert who can set up an independent Defense Array,” Tang Xueshan immediately said.

 After he said that, his gaze landed on Shen Ziyu. Theoretically, this should be the place where she had said she would head to pay a visit to Senior. However, she lowered her head as if nothing had happened. He knew there was something going on.

 He obviously could not count on Shen Ziyu anymore, so Tang Xueshan took the initiative to bow and said in a clear voice, “Earth Union’s Union Master Shen Ziyu, Tang Xueshan, Luo Weike, Wa Di, and Mu Linte have come to pay a visit to Senior Di.”

 “You can just say what this is about.” Di Jiu could care less about these people. He had a pile of issues and Nong Xiuqi was still in seclusion. He was mostly worried about time now.

 “Senior, a level-four demon beast has appeared on South Elixir Mountain. Even if we went all-out, we would still be unable to approach it. Once it leaves South Elixir Mountain, the aftermath will be unimaginable. The five of us came here today to ask you to intervene…” Tang Xueshan bowed to the ground while speaking with a sincere tone and dense anticipation.

 Di Jiu immediately spread his Spiritual Force out and very soon saw a level-four two-tailed scorpion panther. This was indeed a very terrifying demon beast. Once it came out, Earth was really going to suffer a calamity. Tang Xueshan was telling the truth.

 The level-four two-tailed scorpion panther’s combat power was extremely strong. In the true Cultivation World, a lot of Essence Soul cultivators would not dare to resist it, let alone some low-level martial arts cultivators.

 This two-tailed scorpion panther should have just broken through to level four, so it was still stabilizing its cultivation level. As long as its cultivation level became stable, it would definitely leave the South Elixir Mountain and wreak havoc in the city.

 By using his Spiritual Force, he immediately sent a nomological blade flare on the two-tailed scorpion panther and its head was ripped apart without any chance to groan before it died on the ground.

 However, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on a mountain peak at the South Pole, where there seemed to be an ancient Teleportation Array. Its level was not low from the looks of its array pattern.

 A Spirit Stone should be required to leave through this Teleportation Array, and Di Jiu saw a line of words engraved at the side.

 “Qi Xiang has killed the wolf demon at the South Pole and will leave through this Teleportation Array pattern to search for Brother Jiu regardless of whether he’s dead or alive.”

 There were many hidden places on Earth indeed. This Teleportation Array pattern had certainly been left behind during ancient times. Qi Xiang had actually found it and used it to leave. Qi Xiang must have gone to search for him, but he definitely had not found him. He only hoped that Qi Xiang could enter the Immortal World, as it would be very easy to find him there.

 Di Jiu took back his Spiritual Force and Tang Xueshan’s voice was once again heard. “Senior Di, if this demon beast was not so formidable, we would not dare disturb your cultivation.”

 Di Jiu made a sound of acknowledgment and then said, “You guys can leave. I’ve already killed that two-tailed scorpion panther, so it will not pose any threat. I need to enter seclusion now. If there aren’t any huge problems, don’t come to find me.”

 Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already swept around the entire Earth. Besides this level-four two-tailed scorpion panther, there were not any level-three demon beasts, which was not at all surprising.

 He had said those words because he was simply afraid that these people had gone there to invite him today and would pay him a visit tomorrow. How could he handle his own matters like this?

 He had killed it?

 Those five people, including Tang Xueshan, looked at each other. Once Feng Qilin and the others had been killed by a demon beast, they had immediately gone to find Shen Ziyu and reached Wang Chuan Temple in less than half an hour.

 Given the aircraft’s speed, they had seen the three of them, including Feng Qilin, being killed by the demon beast on the surveillance and they had come to Wang Chuan Temple, which had not exceeded two hours altogether. It had taken almost two hours to get from there to South Elixir Mountain by aircraft, but Di Jiu had killed the level-four demon beast while Feng Qilin and the other two were being killed. He did not even rush back when he should be returning from South Elixir Mountain.

 “Zimo, I became Earth Union’s Union Master because I cultivated martial arts. I want to do my part and not act for others. You have the ability to kill the two-tailed scorpion panther. It would at most take more than half of your day to go there. Within little more than half a day, you could help hundreds of millions of people on this land live free of worry. I am begging you, so I hope you can help this once…” Shen Ziyu finally stood up with a somewhat mournful tone. Perhaps, Zimo was a much more familiar name to her.

 She was not putting on an act. She thought like that indeed. Since she had already cultivated to this level, she should do things within her capability.

 However, Di Jiu did not come out. Instead, he said he had already killed the demon beast. Who was he trying to fool?

 Upon hearing Shen Ziyu, the others understood. Di Jiu was simply unwilling to kill the demon beast. Maybe in the eyes of an expert like him, the demon beast that was destroying Earth was none of his business.

 However, after Shen Ziyu said that, there was no response. Di Jiu naturally would not give her a response since he had already said he had killed it. He did not need to prove whether he had killed it or not. Since the other party did not believe his words, nothing would change even if he repeated these words 1,000 times. It would be more effective if these people went to check instead of having him explain.

 The five of them waited outside for half an hour and were sure Di Jiu did not have any intention of coming out. Tang Xueshan, who looked up to Di Jiu for killing Shan Muxin, also sighed.

 Some things could not be forced eventually. If Di Jiu did not want to go, there was probably nobody who could force him.

 Despite not getting a reply, Shen Ziyu calmed down and her previous disappointment gradually vanished. She turned and told the remaining four people, “The five of us should go. Regardless of whether we end up dead or alive, we should protect this planet since we are the Earth Union. Before we go, leave some information behind. If by any chance we fail, don’t let them send any more people there.”

 “That’s right, we should go no matter the outcome,” Tang Xueshan said without the slightest hesitation.

 Luo Weike and the others nodded their heads. Nobody objected. They had to be responsible for their status. All these years, each of them had experienced life-and-death situations before. Since they had chosen this route, they would perish sooner or later so there was nothing to be afraid of.

 The five of them left and Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force immediately permeated the underside of Wang Chuan Temple. A pitch-black wooden bridge that appeared faintly discernible and that boundless and vast reincarnation aura could be felt along with a suppression of gloominess and cold. Before he could start refining the Reincarnation Bridge, there was already a terrifying suppression. Di Jiu became aware that it would be somewhat difficult to take away this wooden bridge given his current cultivation level. He had to break through to the Immortal Emperor level before coming here to try.

 Di Jiu took out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron and started to clean the cauldron. He was prepared to refine a grade-nine immortal pill, the Emperor Gamma Pill.

 He, Qu Hen, and Chen Zishun had probed into the refinement of the grade-nine immortal pills and seen the brief discussion on the Alchemy Dao left behind by Qu Hen. He believed that the reason why he could not refine grade-nine immortal pills was most likely related to his Dao realization.

 The ninth grade was the maximum no matter the level.

 The Alchemy Dao was also a kind of Heavenly Dao where the Dao lived and grew endlessly. Previously, he had not understood this. However, after getting together with Nong Xiuqi, he seemed to have improved his own life course. He had started to understand that the Dao he was cultivating didn’t matter, regardless of whether it was his Dao, the Alchemy Dao, the Array Dao, the Blacksmith Dao, or many more.

 They needed life or life-force.

 There was life only with death. Life was necessary, just like any Confinement Killing Array or death array. Otherwise, they could not form an array.

 The first cauldron of the Emperor Gamma Pill once again failed in the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron. However, Di Jiu was not disappointed at all, as this was the first time he found out the reason he had failed.

This failure had been caused by the Heaven Earth Law. He had refined grade-nine immortal pills here, where the Heaven Earth Law was weak, so they were unable to be formed.

 Thanks to Di Jiu’s understanding of the Heaven Earth Law and his control of all kinds of Foundation Orders, he could easily set up a similar Nomological Array here and continue refining grade-nine immortal pills.

 However, Di Jiu did not do so or set up any techniques. He only took out a cauldron of the Emperor Gamma Pills once again.

 He was a master of law and only in this way could he reach an even higher level and not rely on one large array. Besides, wasn’t he the one who had set them up?

 The Dao fire rose and the medicinal herbs entered the cauldron. The nomological aura, which was casually brought out by Di Jiu, seemed to cover the entire cauldron. The books even covered the entire space.

 The space Di Jiu was in gradually formed into a brand new world with laws that he dominated.

 In this world with laws, Di Jiu could casually do what he wanted and refine the elixir pills he wanted.

 The medicinal herbs in the cauldron were extracted for the first time and the pure medicinal liquid swiveled in the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron as if it possessed life and distributed joy.
