Ninth In the World-Chapter 895 - Yi Ji’s Cultivation Technique

Chapter 895: Yi Ji’s Cultivation Technique

Du Zihen had gone far away while Di Jiu was still in a daze. Du Zihen’s words had allowed him to understand.

“Big Brother Di, this person is very formidable,” Ye Yimo said subconsciously. Because of Ye Zifeng’s arrogant look, she wished she could have burned him with the Thunder Pearl. However, she knew very well that she was not Ye Zifeng’s match even when she was the most powerful, let alone now.

Di Jiu subconsciously said, “He’s really formidable…”

In Di Jiu’s opinion, the fact that Ye Zifeng was formidable was not important. Du Zihen was right. As long as he set up enough Foundation Orders and formed even more laws of the universe that belonged to him so that his Dao could be more integrated, Ye Zifeng couldn’t do anything to him. Di Jiu could actually crush Ye Zifeng.

In Di Jiu’s opinion, the truly formidable one was Du Zihen, who was different from Ye Zifeng. Du Zihen had been reborn after perishing. His Dao was probably not as good as it used to be. Nevertheless, Du Zihen could crush Ye Zifeng, which showed how powerful Du Zihen had been in the past.

“Daoist Di, thank you for saving me.” Chu Manhe walked over and thanked Di Jiu for saving her life.

Di Jiu replied with a smile, “I should be the one thanking you, Senior Sister Manhe. Without you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have understood my own Dao.”

He had gained insight into his Dao on the Mountain Gaze and successfully completed the Dao Integration. Ever since he had attained the Dao Integration, he’d had the right to stand on the peak of this universe. Some day, he could even surpass the universe.

Di Jiu looked at Po Xu and Zuo Zhongren before saying, “Po Xu, Old Zuo, we can leave this place.”

Zuo Zhongren chuckled and blocked Mercury’s way.

Now that Ye Zifeng and Du Zihen had left, there was no leader there anymore. Theoretically, Mercury should be humbler. However, to Di Jiu’s surprise, Mercury had no intention of doing that. Instead, he looked at Zuo Zhongren coldly and said disdainfully, “Even you cannot stop me.”

After he said that, Mercury looked like an ice cube that melted as soon as it touched fire before disappearing in the blink of an eye. It seemed as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Even Di Jiu looked at where Mercury had disappeared in shock. His Spiritual Force had always been locked onto Mercury. After Mercury disappeared, Di Jiu could not sense any change in the spatial law anymore.

This guy was really strange. Although his escape technique and Di Jiu’s nomological escape technique were completely different, both escape techniques left no traces.

“Daoist Di, I have handled this matter badly. I didn’t expect Mercury to be Ye Zifeng’s lackey.” Zuo Zhongren felt very guilty. He knew very well that if it had not been for him, Ye Zifeng would not have appeared there. Fortunately, Di Jiu knew Du Zihen. Without Du Zihen, this would have been dangerous.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “Even without Mercury or any other people, I’ll still come back to this place in the future. However, I hope to leave as soon as possible for now. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to leave the Dao Abyss without Mercury.”

In Di Jiu’s opinion, he could leave any place he wanted. This was because of his insight into the Nomological Dao that he cultivated. The way out was also a kind of law. If he couldn’t leave, that would be because of his weak strength, not because he truly couldn’t leave.

The reason Di Jiu wanted to leave as soon as possible was that he felt somewhat uncomfortable on the Mountain Gaze Peak. He had always felt that something bad would happen if he stayed for too long.

“Daoist Di, I am a reasonable person.” Itinerant Yi Ji only had the chance to greet him now. There was still a saber scar in the area between his eyebrows. The bloodstain was vague, and the wound had yet to recover.

Di Jiu looked at Itinerant Yi Ji coldly. Yi Ji had been scheming to trick him. Even if Yi Ji tried flattering Di Jiu now, Di Jiu wouldn’t give the Quintessential Essence of the Universe to this person. He had already been kind enough to spare him and not kill him.

What Di Jiu hadn’t expected was that Yi Ji would not mention the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. He only said, “Daoist Di, I will reap what I sowed. A part of my cultivation technique is here, and I’ve engraved it. It might perhaps be useful to you. I only have one request. When you leave, please let me follow you.”

At first, Itinerant Yi Ji had wanted to keep asking for the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Now that he knew that his residence had been targeted by Ye Zifeng all this time, he shivered all over. How could he still dare to stay in the Dao Abyss? He was sure that even with the Quintessential Essence of the Universe that Di Jiu had given him previously, Ye Zifeng probably would not let him restore his Dao foundation. He would snatch his Quintessential Essence of the Universe without hesitation. No, that was not right. He would definitely not let him do so. Ye Zifeng would definitely not let Yi Ji restore his Dao foundation.

Di Jiu, who didn’t mind at all, casually took the jade slip that Yi Ji handed to him. When his Spiritual Force landed on the jade slip, he was immediately attracted to it.

“There is nothing a Daoist can’t understand. Understanding begets One[1]; One begets Two[2]; Two begets Three[3]; Three begets a myriad of creatures. A myriad of creatures is indefinite. That is the place where the Dao lies…”

It seemed as though thunder had exploded in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea. Di Jiu scanned it as his hands trembled with excitement.

Everything he had never understood became clear at that moment.

“What a good cultivation technique…” Di Jiu gasped. He was sure that this cultivation technique definitely wouldn’t be weaker than his Nomological Dao. He hadn’t expected Itinerant Yi Ji to have such a terrifying cultivation technique.

Di Jiu stopped looking at it, as he might have the urge to enter seclusion for 10,000 years and continue integrating his Dao. He immediately put away the cultivation technique and looked at Yi Ji. “Your cultivation technique is very impressive. Why is your cultivation level so poor?”

In Di Jiu’s opinion, even though Yi Ji had used the Creation Dao Runes for his rebirth, his cultivation level should not have been so poor. Du Zihen had also used the Creation Dao Runes to be reborn but could even contend against Ye Zifeng. However, Yi Ji could only withstand two of his saber moves and had managed to save his life.

Itinerant Yi Ji gave him a bitter smile. “I was the son of a concubine who abandoned his foundation. When I searched for the foundation treasure, someone injured my Dao foundation with one move. Even after my rebirth, I couldn’t restore my Dao foundation. I sought the Quintessential Essence of the Universe because I wanted to restore my Dao foundation. However, I suppose even the Quintessential Essence of the Universe might not absolutely restore my Dao foundation.”

Di Jiu knew that the Quintessential Essence of the Universe was very useful to Itinerant Yi Ji, regardless of whether the Quintessential Essence of the Universe could absolutely restore Itinerant Yi Ji’s Dao foundation. A drop might very likely allow Itinerant Yi Ji to restore the foundation that he used to have in the past.

Even after obtaining such a cultivation technique, Di Jiu could not give Yi Ji the Quintessential Essence of the Universe easily, as this would be causing him trouble. Yi Ji was like a viper. He looked harmless now because his venomous fangs had been plucked out. When he grew out his venomous fang again, he would immediately devour him.

“I have what you want. When I leave, I can bring you along,” Di Jiu said faintly.

“Thank you, Daoist Di.” Itinerant Yi Ji thanked him with cupped fists as he stood beside Zuo Zhongren, not daring to say anything.

Zuo Zhongren chuckled and stretched his hand to pat Yi Ji’s shoulder. “Not bad, Yi Ji. You still have that understanding. Did you find out that Ye Zifeng was spying on your residence?”

As soon as Yi Ji heard that, he immediately understood that Zuo Zhongren had known that Ye Zifeng had been spying on him. Therefore, he had been on Di Jiu’s side right from the start.

“Daoist Di, I want to ask you to help me save someone.” Chu Manhe suddenly bowed before Di Jiu.

“Save who?” Di Jiu looked at Chu Manhe in confusion. Who did he still need to save? If he was in the Dao Abyss, Ye Zifeng couldn’t do anything to him yet. Thus, he did not fear anyone.

Chu Manhe hurriedly answered, “Her name is Yan Ji. I saw her get killed by a woman before I perished. If I could use the Creation Dao Runes to be reborn, I’m sure she could do the same here.”

Yan Ji? Di Jiu’s gaze landed on Po Xu.

Po Xu smiled awkwardly. “I took this for granted before. Based on what I’ve heard, Yan Ji was indeed killed when the Creation Gate opened.”
