“I heard there is a kind of metal born within Chaos. If you add this kind of material to your saber weapon, I’m afraid not even a connate Dharma treasure may be stronger than this saber of yours. However, this kind of material is only a rumor. In fact, nobody has obtained it before. I’m talking about another kind of material called the Melted Planet Metal,” Tang Xitan explained.

 Metals born within Chaos were Heaven-Opening Metals. Di Jiu was aware of these things, and they were indeed only a rumor. However, he did not intend to search for this kind of thing. This was the first time he had heard of the Melted Planet Metal, so his Spiritual Force immediately landed on the Book of the World.

 The Book of the World had the answers to everything.

 Meanwhile, Tang Xitan continued speaking. “You probably have not heard of the Melted Planet Metal, but I have. Its value is astronomical and it is very rare. Rumor has it that it comes from the void and grows on all the metal-element planets in the void. These kinds of planets are uninhabitable and formed entirely by metal-element materials.

 After experiencing countless years of corrosion and being washed by the void aura, this kind of planet will gradually melt away any impurities and turn from boundless to small. In the end, it will turn into a piece of material the size of a basin or even a fist. This is the Melted Planet Metal. The more colorless it is, the higher its level will be.”

 At the same time, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force read the introduction on the Melted Planet Metal in the Book of the World. It was indeed similar to Tang Xitan’s explanation. Furthermore, the Melted Planet Metal was a top-notch blacksmithing material and was the most suitable for a saber Dharma treasure that could automatically advance.

 However, the Melted Planet Metal did not have a higher level if it was more colorless, as Tang Xitan had just mentioned. There were three phases the Melted Planet Metal went through. The first phase was a Melted Planet Metal with gray impurities, and the second phase was a Melted Planet Metal without any color. After countless years of tempering and mixing with all sorts of nomological fragments in the void, the colorless Melted Planet Metal would once again turn a white color, which was why the white Melted Planet Metal had the highest value and was a priceless treasure.

 Despite not interrupting her, Di Jiu knew that since Tang Xitan had mentioned the Melted Planet Metal, she still had something else to say. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for her to say that.

 As expected, when Tang Xitan was done, she laughed and looked at Di Jiu before saying, “I know someone with Melted Planet Metal. If you go and they offer you a deal, you will only obtain good stuff and most likely some Melted Planet Metal. I believe that since you arrived in the Void City and are not even afraid of a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, you should have some good stuff on you, right?”

 “Senior Tang, I will go with you,” Di Jiu immediately responded.

 Tang Xitan nodded her head without feeling amazed. “In that case, let’s go together. I’m afraid your strength is not any weaker than mine. You can just call me Senior Sister Xitan in the future. Senior Xi sounds somewhat distant.”

 Di Jiu did not go with Tang Xitan because she had said that his Heavenly Aqua Saber could no longer advance. In fact, he knew very well that, even without the Melted Planet Metal, his Heavenly Aqua Saber could continue advancing because he had added the Nirvana Black Metal Stone into it. He supposed that she had not discovered this kind of material. The addition of the Nirvana Black Metal Stone should be the reason his blacksmithing level had improved.

 As Tang Xitan had said, if he could still add the Melted Planet Metal to his Heavenly Aqua Saber, that would definitely allow it to rise by a few levels.

 The Nirvana Black Metal Stone was very precious. From a certain perspective, the Melted Planet Metal was much more precious than the Nirvana Black Metal Stone. First, the Melted Planet Metal was rare. Second, the value of the Melted Planet Metal was higher to him.

 The Dharma treasure that the Melted Planet Metal refined had a kind of vast Starry Sky Dao rune. If he added the Melted Planet Metal into his Heavenly Aqua Saber, his power would rise when he used his divine power. Although he cultivated the Nomological Dao now, he had cultivated the Starry Sky Art at first. His meridians were currently still Starry Sky meridians, while his Spiritual Sea was the Starry Sky Spiritual Sea.

 Di Jiu was not polite as he said, “Senior Sister Xitan, can you tell me where we are going?”

 Tang Xitan chuckled. “We’re going to a place called the Thousand Bamboo Void Island.”

 Di Jiu shook his head, as he had never heard of this place before.

 Upon seeing him, Tang Xitan knew that he had never heard of this place. Therefore, she explained, “You may not have heard of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, but I believe you have heard of the Guang Yuan Palace…”

 Di Jiu responded with a bitter laugh, “I have indeed heard of the Guang Yuan Palace. You told me about it not long ago. You said that Guang Yuan Palace’s Palatial Lord was killed by Sacred Emperor Ye.”

 Tang Xitan looked at Di Jiu in shock before asking after a while, “Could you not be from this realm? You haven’t heard of the Guang Yuan Palace even though it’s so famous?”

 Di Jiu could only reply, “Senior Sister Xitan, it’s not important whether I have heard of the Guang Yuan Palace. Can you tell me about the Thousand Bamboo Void Island?”

 Tang Xitan could only tell him with a sigh, “Alright then. I really don’t know how you cultivated to this degree. The Insular Lord of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island is called Ji Hongsen. He was very good friends with Guang Yuan Palace’s Palatial Lord Su Guang. At the time, he was also called the Second Saint of the Void. Even though he was at the late-stage Primordial Chaos, his combat strength was shockingly strong. Since Su Guang preferred making friends, he was well-known in this universe. On the other hand, Ji Hongsen did not like making friends and was always in reclusive seclusion, so not many people knew him.

 COMMENT

Recently, Ji Hongsen started behaving out of character and made friends from many places. He even came to the Void City several times. This time, Ji Hongsen invited numerous Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island because he discovered a connate treasure he couldn’t obtain alone. Therefore, he invited everyone over to talk things over. You should know that I’ve always been alone. However, if I go alone to search for the connate treasure, I will definitely lose out. The Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors heading there are real pieces of work. I’m sure you’re extraordinary. If you go with me, you might be able to obtain the Melted Planet Metal.”

 “Who has the Melted Planet Metal?” Di Jiu was not interested in the connate treasure. Weren’t the Five-Element Flags, the Yin-Yang Taijitu, the Book of the World, and many more also connate treasures? Apart from these connate treasures, he still had the Universe Membrane fragment.

 “Ji Hongsen. He has a piece of the Melted Planet Metal, and I’m not the only one who is aware of it,” Tang Xitan answered.

 …

 The Thousand Bamboo Void Island stood in the vast void with a perimeter of nearly 5,000 kilometers. Di Jiu was not surprised. Since he had seen the Void Ocean before, he believed that the Void Ocean was loftier than the Thousand Bamboo Void Island.

 Once Di Jiu arrived, he sensed that the Defense Array of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island was not simple. This Defense Array was at least higher than level seven. Even if he used all four Five-Element Flags, he could not set up such a Divine Array.

 As Di Jiu walked to the front of the Thousand Bamboo Void Island’s Defense Array with Tang Xitan, the Defense Array opened. Heavenly music came through and a void pathway below their feet led to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island. Two boys came forward to welcome them.

 Tang Xitan took out a name card and handed it over. “This is my friend, Di Jiu.”

 One of the boys said loudly, “Welcome to the Thousand Bamboo Void Island, Phoenix Clan’s Sacred Emperor Xitan and Sacred Emperor Di Jiu…”

 Rich Divine Spirit Qi swept over and Di Jiu let out a long sigh of relaxation. This kind of Divine Spirit Qi was different from the Divine Spirit Qi he had activated by force with the Dao meridian. Although this Divine Spirit Qi might not be better than the one of his Dao meridian during cultivation, it was definitely more suitable to reside in.

 “You’re Di Jiu?” An abrupt voice spoke. Then, a square-faced man strode over from behind and landed before Di Jiu and Tang Xitan with one step.

 This fellow had a square face but triangle-shaped eyes. He was wearing purple clothing and was only a half-step Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor. Di Jiu was sure that he had never met this person before. However, the two people behind him were Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, and one of them was even at the mid-stage Primordial Chaos.

“That’s right. I’m Di Jiu. What’s the matter?” Di Jiu faintly answered. A mere half-step Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor was not worth his attention.
