Xie Wanling shuddered before he hastily bowed and pleaded. “Daoist Di, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I was only listening to orders. Qi Jun already knew when the Demonic Clothing Mountain’s mystic area opened. He would have come over himself even if I had not called him over…”

 “That person is called Qi Jun? What did he want?” Di Jiu interrogated him frostily.

 Xie Wanling dared not lie, certain that Di Jiu would only need to give him a slap to kill him. Therefore, he rushed to reply when Di Jiu asked him these questions. “They wanted the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit…”

 “Big Brother, this is the fruit I mentioned. I have obtained three. Also, I have changed my surname to my mother’s surname, which is Zhangsun.” Zhangsun Huang had already taken out three jade boxes and handed them to Di Jiu.

 Di Jiu glanced at Xie Wanling. Zhangsun Huang meant that Xie Wanling and the Starry Demon Palace no longer had any relation to him. Di Jiu accepted the three jade boxes that contained a pure white fruit each. The fruit emitted an abstruse Dao rune aura.

 These were the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit?

 At the moment, Xie Wanling, Yue Wuliang, Mo Louxue, and Zhou Bujian were all staring intently at the Dao fruit Di Jiu was holding. This was a Dao fruit they desperately wanted as well.

 Di Jiu’s gaze landed on Xie Wanling. “Palatial Lord Xie, what is the use of the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit?”

 Xie Wanling hastily explained. “One can no longer ascend to the Upper Realm from the Immortal World. Even if one cultivates and attains the peak Immortal Emperor Realm, they will not be able to sense the barrier to the Upper Realm. The Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit can allow an Immortal Emperor to transcend the Immortal Emperor Realm and gain insight into one’s Dao. It is only when insight into one’s Dao is gained that they have the opportunity to ascend. Even if the ascension fails, they can sense the intersection between the planes of the Immortal World and the Upper Realm.”

Mo Louxue, who was standing some distance away, sighed and commented, “Palatial Lord Xie is right. This is indeed the case. The plane where the Four Major Immortal Continents are located requires an increasing number of Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit. However, the places where the Dao fruit appears are decreasing in number. The reason the Demonic Clothing Mountain’s mystic area has attracted the interest of so many experts is because one or two Supreme Chasm Dao Fruits will appear every time the mystic area opens. It is indeed unexpected that three of them appeared this time.”

 “That is right. At first, I thought that it was because the Heaven Earth Law of the Four Major Immortal Continents was incomplete and it rendered everyone unable to ascend. Later on, it was discovered that the Heaven Earth Law of the Four Major Immortal Continents is actually still completely intact,” Zhou Bujian said with a sigh.

Di Jiu frowned as he recalled that he used to be unable to refine grade-nine immortal pills when he had been in the Immortal World. It was only after he had perfected his Dao law that he had become able to refine grade-nine immortal pills. At the time, he had also assumed that this was because the Heaven Earth Law of the Immortal World was incomplete. It was only later that he realized that this line of thought was inaccurate.

 An Immortal Emperor needed to consume a Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit to be able to sense the barrier to a higher cultivation realm. Was this related to the fact that he was unable to refine the grade-nine immortal pills?

 “Xie Wanling, where did this black-robed man come from? How did he contact you?” Di Jiu could not be bothered to address Xie Wanling by his title. He would have already killed him were it not for Zhangsun Huang.

 Zhangsun Huang and Xie Wanling were father and son, after all, regardless of how broken their relationship was.

 Xie Wanling shook his head. “I do not know. I only know that he came from a plane of a higher level than the Four Major Immortal Continents. He possessed an extremely powerful cultivation…”

 Xie Wanling subconsciously stopped speaking. If Qi Jun was extremely powerful, just how powerful was Di Jiu? He had witnessed how Di Jiu had dealt with Qi Jun.

 “How do you contact him usually?” Di Jiu knew that he would most likely be unable to obtain a lot of important information from Xie Wanling. Qi Jun’s mission in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent was probably different from Yi Mang and Li Lie’s mission. Di Jiu had implanted nomological restrictions everywhere on Xie Wanling. He would have sensed it long ago if Xie Wanling had been coveting the light shining from providence on the Immortal World.

Xie Wanling replied in an even more respectful tone, “That person is called Qi Jun. He gave me a talisman with the instruction to crush the talisman when the Demonic Clothing Mountain’s mystic area opened. I know nothing else.”

 Worried that Di Jiu would not be satisfied with his reply, Xie Wanling added, “Qi Jun’s main objective is to obtain the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit…”

The Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit? Qi Jun should have passed the Immortal Emperor Realm long ago. Why would he want the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit?

 Di Jiu could not think of a reason why, so he decided to let it be. His gaze landed on Yue Wuliang. He suspected that there was one fella from each of the Four Major Immortal Continents who was collecting the light shining on the Immortal World from providence for Jiang Dai. It was Immortal Emperor Radiant Fortune from the Square Immortal Continent, most likely Ye Xi from the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent, and Li Lie from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. He had killed all three of them. If it was not Xie Wanling, who could it be from the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent?

 Yue Wuliang shuddered subconsciously when he saw Di Jiu glance at him. He hastily cupped his fists and implored, “Daoist Di, this matter has nothing to do with me. I did not know that Xie Wanling brought the black-robed man over here.”

 Di Jiu took no heed of Yue Wuliang. Instead, he took out an array flag and handed it to Black Fire. “Black Fire, head to the Starry Demon Palace with Zhangsun Huang and save his mother. Then, head to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I need to take care of some matters, but I will return to the Immortal City soon.”

 With that, Di Jiu transmitted a voice message to Black Fire. “If Xie Wanling dares to play any tricks, activate this array flag immediately and kill him.”

 “Big Brother, don’t worry…” Black Fire reassured him before staring at Di Jiu in expectation.

The reason he had encouraged Zhangsun Huang to participate in the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit was because he wanted to level up and become a level-nine immortal demon beast. Now that he saw Di Jiu, he naturally wanted Di Jiu to give him some grade-nine immortal pills.

 Di Jiu knew what Black Fire was thinking, so he sent another voice transmission. “The cultivating resources for both you and Zhangsun Huang can all be found in his ring, including the elixir pill required for you to break through and become a level-nine immortal demon beast. I need to settle some issues but I will head to the Peace Hotel to find you guys after a while.”

 Upon hearing this, Black Fire leaped up, pulling Zhangsun Huang along as he said, “Let’s go. Let us quickly head to the Starry Demon Palace before returning to the Peace Hotel.”

 Once the two of them left, Di Jiu turned to Zhou Bujian and Mo Louxue, cupped his fists and informed them, “If both of you are free, you can head to the Gigantic Tripod to find me. I have some things to deal with, so I will return to the Peace Hotel later on.”

 “Thank you, I will definitely head to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.” Zhou Bujian respected Di Jiu a lot. It was due to one sentence Di Jiu had said to him that his Sword Dao could advance.

 Out of the Five Great Immortal Emperors of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, Zhou Bujian was the only one with the confidence that he would be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm without having to consume the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit.

 “Daoist Di, there is something I would like to discuss with you,” called Mo Louxue anxiously when she saw that Di Jiu was about to leave. She had decided to set up Qingbing and Di Jiu, regardless of whether her attempt would be successful or not.

 With a glance at Mo Louxue’s expression, Di Jiu knew that this was nothing important or urgent. He thus replied casually, “I will return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City a few months later. Let us meet again in the Immortal City then.”

 He had quite a good impression of Zhou Bujian and Mo Louxue. It was meaningless to keep the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit without making full use of it. Furthermore, it would only bring harm to Zhangsun Huang if the fruits were left on him. Therefore, he would give one to Zhou Bujian and one to Mo Louxue when the two of them went to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. The third fruit was reserved for Zhangsun Huang. Di Jiu refused to believe that he needed to consume a Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit in order to attain a higher realm.

 1Since Big Brother Zhong Ao had been able to accomplish such a feat, so could he.

 Besides, that Jiang fella could come to the Four Major Immortal Continents from the Upper Realm. Surely, Di Jiu would be able to head to the Upper Realm from the Four Major Immortal Continents.

The reason Di Jiu was in such a hurry to leave was because he wanted to head to the Dai He Hall. The cultivating resources within were copious, and that was exactly what he needed urgently. He intended to bring Black Fire along to chase down the black-robed man called Qi Jun after he left the Dai He Hall.

He was certain that the black-robed man did not have long left to live, so he would meet his doom on the same plane. Di Jiu felt uneasy with every moment he did not hunt Qi Jun down. He would definitely be targeted by Qi Jun since he had killed the few people who had been collecting the light shining on the Immortal World from providence. The Lord Jiang Qi Jun had mentioned was most likely Jiang Dai. Since it was only a matter of time before Di Jiu was targeted, he might as well find out more about Jiang Dai for his own survival.

Even if the Lord Jiang mentioned was not Jiang Dai, there was no harm in understanding some of Qi Jun’s information regarding the Upper Realm.

 Other than hunting down the black-robed man called Qi Jun, he also wanted to discover the identity of the fella collecting the light shining on the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent from providence.
