Yin Yueshu’s face turned pale. As she clenched her teeth, she said firmly, “I suspect that you have the Yin-Yang Taijitu, which is the treasure that can subdue the realm. The Great Ultimate Realm can only be saved by the Yin-Yang Taijitu.”

When Yin Yueshu had seen Di Jiu in the past, she had felt that he had something she needed. Because of that, she had allowed him to be by her side. Previously, she had always been unsure. A long time after Di Jiu had left, she had happened to suddenly recall that Di Jiu definitely had the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

At the time, Di Jiu had been seriously injured and had just obtained the Yin-Yang Taijitu, but she had sensed that his Dao runes had yet to disintegrate.

Di Jiu sized up Yin Yueshu in shock and said slowly, “I’ve underestimated you. You can even see that I have the Yin-Yang Taijitu.”

Yin Yueshu was pleasantly surprised. “Big Brother Di, you really have the Yin-Yang Taijitu?”

Despite taking a guess, she had not expected this to be true.

Di Jiu faintly said, “I indeed had the Yin-Yang Taijitu before. However, I don’t have it anymore. I exchanged it with something else.”

“Ah…” Yin Yueshu opened her mouth wide and did not say anything. When she came back to her senses, she was completely silent.

Who would believe that he had used the Yin-Yang Taijitu in exchange for a treasure? Di Jiu clearly did not want to save the Great Ultimate Realm.

Even though he knew what Yin Yueshu was thinking, he did not plan on explaining. He only said, “Tell me, what happened to the Great Ultimate Realm?”

Yin Yueshu answered in despair, “After the Great Ultimate Kui River Mystic Area opened, very few cultivators came out after going in. A ball of black mist also appeared. Many experts went to check on it, but none of them returned. Eventually, nobody dared to go to the Kui River Mystic Area.

“However, that was not the end. In the past few decades, that black mist has been constantly spreading outward. As long as any place comes into contact with that black mist, it will immediately disappear. Furthermore, the Spiritual Force cannot scan this mist. Once an ordinary cultivator’s Spiritual Force approaches the black mist, it gets corroded. Perhaps, this black mist will soon spread to the entire Great Ultimate Realm and the realm will disappear completely.”

Di Jiu felt secretly puzzled. The Great Ultimate Realm was an honorable great realm after all. It had a completely perfect Heaven Earth Law and Dao Integration experts. Could even the Spiritual Force of Dao Integration experts be corroded by this black mist?

“Nobody can do anything?” Di Jiu asked with a frown.

Yin Yueshu said mournfully, “Although I’m from the Great Simplicity Realm, I have deep feelings for the Great Ultimate Realm after spending years there. Although the Great Ultimate Realm of the Five Great Realms has not been severely damaged, there is no influential expert, which has caused a state of disunity.

“After this, nobody took the lead except my master. However, there is a limit to his strength. He ended up seriously injured because he sought the black mist… My master told me that if anyone can save the Great Ultimate Realm, it could only be Big Brother Di. I left the Great Ultimate Realm and searched for you all over the place. It wasn’t until two years ago that I heard your name in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Thus, I hurried over.”

Yin Yueshu had never forgotten what her master had told her. Besides, she thought the same way. Back then, the Great Simplicity Realm had been more incomplete and dispirited than the Great Ultimate Realm. Because of Dao Lord Ning, the Great Simplicity Realm had risen. Likewise, without Dao Lord Ning, the Great Change Realm would have been abandoned.

In her master’s eyes, Di Jiu and Dao Lord Ning were the same type of people. Plus, Di Jiu very likely had the Yin-Yang Taijitu. If that was the case, it would be best if Di Jiu saved the Great Ultimate Realm.

Di Jiu was very hesitant. He really did not have the time to go to the Great Ultimate Realm. However, according to Yin Yueshu, if this dragged on, the Great Ultimate Realm would very likely be abandoned.

Di Jiu harbored a bit of affection for the Great Ultimate Realm. He had been rescued when he had landed there and he had some acquaintances there as well.

“Do any of you know what that black mist is?” Di Jiu asked. Theoretically, the black mist had appeared in the Great Ultimate Realm a long time ago and many people had perished. The cultivators of the Great Ultimate Realm should know something.

Yin Yueshu shook her head. “No one knows. Many experts of the Great Ultimate Realm went over, but none of them returned. Two Dao Integration experts exploring the border have also been seriously injured by the black mist, including my master.”

“I know what the black mist is.” A voice was suddenly heard before Dao Lord Po Xu came in.

Even though Yin Yueshu had never seen Dao Lord Po Xu, she had heard many different stories about the boss of the Mountain Gaze Restaurant and Dao Lord Po Xu. Hence, she had naturally heard about the tall cultivator in front of her. He was an exceptional expert who was not any weaker than Di Jiu. She hurriedly bowed. “Yin Yueshu greets you, Dao Lord Po Xu.”

Dao Lord Po Xu nodded. He could not take a stranger like Yin Yueshu with a low cultivation level seriously. Whether she was pretty or not made no difference to him.

Upon hearing what Dao Lord Po Xu said, Di Jiu was overjoyed. He immediately asked, “Daoist Po Xu, what is that black mist?”

Dao Lord Po Xu chuckled. “If my guess is right, it should have been caused by someone.”

Someone? Di Jiu and Yin Yueshu looked at Dao Lord Po Xu in shock. How powerful was that person to be able to create such a terrifying black mist?

Po Xu added, “Since that black mist cannot even be scanned by the Spiritual Force and will instead corrode it, that shows there is a kind of law in it that’s called the Dark Law. Apart from Dao Lord Darkness, I can’t think of another person who can do such a terrifying thing. Dao Lord Darkness is extremely cunning and scheming. Many cultivators who were stronger than me died in his hands.”

After he said that, Dao Lord Po Xu explained, “I don’t mean those who are stronger than me now but at the time. Daoist Di, you should know that when I was the most powerful, even a few people like you would have been inferior to me.”

Di Jiu believed Dao Lord Po Xu, who was respecting him by saying that. Di Jiu was sure that when Dao Lord Po Xu had been at the third step and had been at his strongest, he would have been inferior to him even if he had been stronger than he was now.

Yin Yueshu’s heart grew cold when she heard that. She had looked up to Di Jiu’s power. How strong could Dao Lord Po Xu have been at his strongest?

“Dao Lord Darkness hides in the Great Ultimate Realm. Clearly, he wants to refine the Great Ultimate Realm and make it his. If an ordinary cultivator wanted to refine the Great Ultimate Realm, that would be impossible. However, Dao Lord Darkness wants to refine the Great Ultimate Realm.” Dao Lord Po Xu sighed and shook his head.

Di Jiu was furious. He felt the most disgusted by trash who wanted to refine a realm. There were many people like that, which was why a good realm in the vast universe had disappeared.

“Daoist Po Xu, are you suggesting that I do not get involved?” Di Jiu reckoned that Po Xu did not want to let him go to the Great Ultimate Realm. If he was killed by Dao Lord Darkness, Dao Lord Po Xu’s plans would be ruined.

Po Xu said with a laugh, “No. Actually, I suggest that you go there. I’ll help you if it’s necessary. You know that I invited you to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone because I plan to ask for your help, right? Since I want your help, I naturally have to help you first.”

“Why?” Di Jiu did not understand fully what Po Xu meant. If he went to the Great Ultimate Realm, Po Xu would not get any benefits.
