Chapter 860: Asking Di Jiu for Assistance

He was even more fearful of Di Jiu. Other people had never seen the Creation Wood before, but not him. Di Jiu must have obtained the Creation Wood. Otherwise, he would not have been able to refine such tea. After obtaining the Creation Wood, he had even used it to refine the Starry Sky Tea. Dao Lord Po Xu was speechless before Di Jiu’s way of doing things.

Di Jiu didn’t speak at all. Even if Po Xu knew this Starry Sky Tea was refined from the Creation Cauldron, he would not care.

Dao Lord Po Xu understood what Di Jiu meant and said, “Daoist Di, if you want to reach the Dao Integration or even the supreme Dao, you will have to enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.”

Since Di Jiu had the Creation Wood, he really wanted to be friends with him. As a person who had joined the chaotic battle in the past, he knew better than anyone else what powerful allies signified.

Di Jiu frowned. He had seen a lot of Dao Integration cultivators, but the difference in strength was arguably too great. If one did not meet a powerful person like Po Xu by chance, any Primordial Chaos cultivator might not be their match. On the other hand, he had seen weak ones. When he had still been in the early-stage Primordial Chaos, he had been able to easily kill Dao Integration experts.

“Daoist Po Xu, what did you mean by the Dao Integration and Supreme Dao you just mentioned?” Di Jiu asked.

Dao Lord Po Xu laughed. “I was waiting for you to ask this question. If you didn’t do so, I would have been disappointed. There are big and small Daos in the Dao cultivation of my generation. Dao cultivators integrate their Dao, which is done for the sake of the Dao itself. If you succeed in Dao Integration here, I’m sure you’ll integrate the small Dao.”

“Why do you say that?” Di Jiu felt increasingly more puzzled.

Dao Lord Po Xu shook his head. “This cannot be expressed by words. You must grasp it yourself. The reason I said that you have to go to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone for Dao Integration is that after the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone went through the Creation War, broken Dao runes were everywhere. Later on, because the law of the universe was chaotic, the Dao runes in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone became even more chaotic. However, the Heaven Earth Law was the toughest and it slaughtered the whole place. If you succeed in the Dao Integration in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, you will be integrating the Supreme Dao.”

“What if I can’t do it?” Di Jiu asked coldly.

Dao Lord Po Xu faintly replied, “Then you can only await death.”

Di Jiu didn’t pay attention to Dao Lord Po Xu’s attitude. This meant that if he couldn’t do it by giving it his all, then he might as well not do it.

Although Di Jiu still did not understand what Dao Lord Po Xu meant, he had some vague concept in his mind. Regardless of how powerful the cultivation technique that he cultivated was, he had benefited greatly from the guidance of an ancient expert like Dao Lord Po Xu.

“Thank you, Daoist Po Xu. Thanks to your suggestion, I’ll forget about you destroying my cave abode,” said Di Jiu.

Po Xu gestured with his hand, took out a thumb-sized crystal, and handed it to Di Jiu before he said, “I’ll compensate you with this. I believe you can use it.”

While Di Jiu was thinking about saying no, he saw that thing. He immediately took it in shock and said, “This is the 100-million-year-old Ocean Ford?”

“That’s right. It is indeed the 100-million-year-old Ocean Ford. I didn’t get much back then, but I will give you this small piece.” Po Xu was very satisfied with Di Jiu’s response. After all, he was a Dao Lord. He naturally could not be stingy if he wanted to be friends with Di Jiu.

Di Jiu put away the 100-million-year-old Ocean Ford and said with cupped fists, “Thank you. I can really use this. However, this thing is much more valuable than my supreme-grade cave abode.”

Po Xu said with a smile, “I was at fault. Besides, I might ask for your help in the future. A small piece of the Ocean Ford is really nothing.”

Di Jiu nodded and stopped being modest. The 100-million-year-old Ocean Ford could be used to set up the most talisman Dharma Arrays, help him understand the Dao technique divine power, or even be integrated into his Dharma treasure. If it was used to refine a talisman, it could be used to refine the best talisman.

Di Jiu was a top-notch Array Dao expert. Without good materials, an Array Dao expert could not set up many Dharma Arrays.

Plus, Di Jiu had other uses for this 100-million-year-old Ocean Ford. He planned to forge a set of true saber arrays that would be combined with the supreme-grade divine weapon and serve as the array core of his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

As long as he forged this saber array, in combination with his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, Di Jiu believed that he would not need to be at someone’s disposal anymore.

“Daoist Di, you should know that my strength has been greatly damaged. In the past, I hid to avoid getting plotted against and hid my family somewhere in the Jia Liang Mountain. Later on, due to continuous wars, this place was called the Heaven Earth Divine Tomb Mound. When I came back, not only had it disappeared, but the things I had hidden had vanished as well. That included my natal Dharma treasures, the Primeval Void-Breaking Tablet, and the Primeval Void-Breaking Art.”

After Dao Lord Po Xu said all this in one go, he told Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, I suspect that my things are still there. However, if I go in alone, I will definitely not be strong enough. I’ve been to many places in all these years. Besides you, there is no one else I’ve found pleasing to the eye.”

After understanding what Dao Lord Po Xu meant, Di Jiu faintly replied, “You mean that you plan to invite me into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone to help you?”

Not minding Di Jiu’s words, Dao Lord Po Xu answered, “Yes, I do plan to do that. Of course, it’s still not enough given our strength. If we want to enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, I’m sure you can succeed in Dao Integration while I’m very likely to reach the third step.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “Daoist Po Xu, I’ll be straightforward. Your natal Dharma treasure is the Primeval Void-Breaking Tablet. If you want to reach the third step, I’m afraid you’ll need to find your natal Dharma treasure first.”

Po Xu was not embarrassed upon understanding that. “That’s right. I’ve indeed had this thought.”

Di Jiu didn’t answer Po Xu. He instead opened his palm and a jade slip appeared. This jade slip was what Lightning had collected in all these years and was all about the news of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

After Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned the jade slip once, he praised Lightning a little. Its ability to collect news was not bad at all, as there were all kinds of news in it.

After putting away the jade slip, Di Jiu said, “Daoist Po Xu, based on what I know, after the Creation War, although there were many experts in the Mountain Gaze, there were no top-notch experts. Given Dao Lord’s technique, who could you be afraid of after entering this forbidden zone?”

Dao Lord Po Xu stood up and told Di Jiu with cupped fists, “Daoist Di, you might not know everything about the Creation War. After that war, the Creation Dao Runes gathered in the venue of the war and formed a realm after a long time. They formed the Massacre Realm after the first Creation War.”

“So what?” Di Jiu said.

Dao Lord Po Xu sighed. “During the Creation War, countless experts perished. Did you think these experts perished completely? They didn’t. It seemed like they perished, but some of their remnant Dao runes made use of the Creation Aura here to be reborn. The current Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone is similar to the Massacre Realm of that time. I’m sure that there are exceptional experts everywhere.”

“Say, what do I need to help with?” Di Jiu had seen clearly what Dao Lord Po Xu meant, which was definitely not that simple.

Dao Lord Po Xu took a deep breath and said in a lower tone, “Back then, my Primeval Void-Breaking Tablet and Primeval Void-Breaking Art might have been taken away by someone with the surname Ning. Based on my investigations all these years, that cultivator had a cultivation partner called Yan Ji, who perished in the Creation War. If I’m lucky, I could likely find the remnant soul left behind after that woman’s rebirth…”

Di Jiu sneered. “You want to capture someone else’s woman to threaten him, right?”
