Half a year later, Bei Yingshu sped up even more. When he wanted to rush into the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
If Di Jiu was in the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, he could work with him. But what if he wasn’t there? If Di Jiu wasn’t in the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, he would be leading this weird person there, which would probably be a greater calamity. Furthermore, Di Jiu was very likely not there. He had sent dozens of messages to Di Jiu to no avail.
Bei Yingshu, who had come back to his senses, immediately decided that he couldn’t go to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth. At the very least, not before he received Di Jiu’s response.
…
Bam! The last group of Dao forces coming from Shang Huijue’s Dao rune imprint was captured by Di Jiu, who turned it into nothingness using his Dao fire.
Di Jiu was relieved. It wasn’t until this moment that the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush in his hand truly belonged to him. Although he had not completely refined it yet, it would only take him a year or two at most.
As long as the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was completely refined, he could completely deduce the Heaven-Opening Mantra.
Di Jiu stood up. Nearly a hundred years had passed ever since he had come in. However, there was still no news of Lightning. Although Xiuqi was fine, he had to find the Two-Realm Flower as soon as possible.
“Lightning, what are you doing?” Di Jiu realized that Lightning was actually driving the Void Mountain madly back and forth between the two realms. Even at this speed, he could not find the Two-Realm Flower in time.
Upon seeing Di Jiu come out, Lightning said in a weak voice, “Big Brother, I saw a person a year ago who said there are Two-Realm Flowers. However, he couldn’t pick one alone and wanted to work with me.”
Di Jiu sneered. “So he wants to take you there, right? Not bad. You’re now very good at talking.”
Lightning dropped its head and said with no confidence, “Yes. I didn’t dare disturb you since you are in seclusion, Boss.”
After becoming a level-five divine beast, it felt more confident. In its opinion, the guy who led the way seemed to be a Primordial Chaos cultivator at best. After following Di Jiu, it now had a better way of looking at things. This guy was really a nobody, despite it being just the equivalent of a Primordial Chaos nobody.
Di Jiu hit Lightning’s head helplessly. “Think, will you? How weak can a person who can live between the two realms be? Do you think you can wait for me since you think I’m in seclusion? If they want to lead you elsewhere, they won’t let you off that easily. Also, your cultivation level is already at the level-five divine beast, which is naturally related to your aptitude. More importantly, how did you cultivate to such an extent? What did you use? Did you not consider these things? In other words, your actual combat ability is not as powerful as your strength.”
Lightning had always been cultivating in the Ninth World. In Di Jiu’s Ninth World were Pure Yin Chaos Qi, the Chaotic Auram, and all sorts of Dao fruits and Dao pills. As for divine spirit meridians, they were all piled up like mountains. Even Little Tree might have been a divine beast if it had followed him, let alone Lightning.
Di Jiu was sure that after leaving the space between the two realms, he would find a place for a test trial to let Lightning put itself to the test for a few years before coming out.
Lightning had its own cultivation level and had made tremendous improvements. If it wanted to help him, it would still have to have powerful combat skills. A demon beast’s or a human cultivator’s combat skills couldn’t be cultivated and had to be sharpened in an environment of life and death.
While Di Jiu was berating it, Lightning didn’t dare retort.
As Di Jiu scolded it, a figure came from a distance. He asked in confusion, “Why don’t you follow me?”
Lightning did not answer, but Di Jiu chuckled. He put away the Mountain of the World and took out a high-grade divine weapon. At the same time, he let Lightning enter the Ninth World before he said, “Let’s go. Lead the way.”
While he was talking, Di Jiu had already sized up this guy. He believed that any cultivators who had lived between the two realms for a long time wouldn’t have too much meat on them. However, the guy in front of him was tall and burly. Such a person would be a tough man if he also had a full beard. The tall, burly guy in front of him looked comical. Even though he didn’t have a full beard, he had an English mustache.
“I didn’t expect that big bird to have an owner. You can follow me. However, let me get things straight. If there are more than two pairs of Two-Realm Flowers, we’ll divide them equally.” The big guy’s voice was a little sharp.
Di Jiu calmly replied, “As long as there are more than two pairs of Two-Realm Flowers, we can divide them equally. Lead the way.”
“Alright.” The big man rushed forward again quickly.
Di Jiu didn’t even use his nomological escape technique. Instead, he used his Spiritual Force escape technique to follow this big guy.
He soon discovered that the big guy was getting faster and faster. In the end, he used the Spiritual Force escape technique to barely keep up with him. It was clear that the reason Lightning was able to keep up with this big guy was not that the big man was about as fast as Lightning, but because the opponent had not used all his strength.
Seemingly sensing that Di Jiu’s speed was not any slower than his, the big guy was shocked and used his Spiritual Force to scan Di Jiu. His escape technique had been passed down from ancient times, yet an unknown person like Di Jiu could keep up with him. Furthermore, Di Jiu also had the Void Mountain. Where had this person come from?
Using the escape technique between the two realms did not just depend on having the escape technique divine power itself. There were also various astral wind whirlpools, void blade flares, void dislocations, and void lacerations. One would die if one was not careful.
He could also see that if he spurred his extreme speed, Di Jiu would definitely not be able to keep up. However, he did not do that. He was worried that Di Jiu would run away immediately after seeing how difficult it was.
In less than a month, the big guy stopped. He pointed to the place in front of him and told Di Jiu, “This is the Indefinite Ocean. You may find it strange, but I’m sure that deep within the Indefinite Ocean is a divine spirit herb garden. Someone in the divine spirit herb garden must have planted more than one Two-Realm Flower.”
Di Jiu looked at the ocean in front of him in a daze. He was not surprised that there was a divine spirit herb garden in the depths of the Indefinite Ocean that even contained a Two-Realm Flower. However, he found seeing an ocean in between the two realms strange.
Unlike ordinary waves, the waves in the Indefinite Ocean had no laws and did not form a whirlpool or a continuous burst of whirlpools. Its direction was completely different.
“How can an ocean be formed here?” Di Jiu expressed the doubts in his heart.
The man with the big English mustache chuckled. “This is normal. After the war, many experts who could set up their own Heaven Earth Laws hid between the two realms. It’s not strange to see mountains and rivers here.”
“What do you mean?” Di Jiu frowned.
The man with the big English mustache seemed to know that Di Jiu did not understand, so he explained. “Any Dao Integration Realm cultivators would be swept into that kind of war. However, some people in this world don’t want to be cannon fodder for others, nor do they want to work hard for others. Hence, they just want to escape from the battlefield. No Dao Integration cultivators could escape from the battlefield during the war on that side of the universe.
“Therefore, many people came to the space between the two realms. In fact, they could escape from the war through some planes through two realms. For example, this is such a place. After the war, no Dao runes of the war have been felt here. However, in this space between the two realms, which can be used to avoid war, it is easy to get in but not to get out. After many people came in, they could not go out again. They could only build their own worlds here and do some boring things to kill time.”
Di Jiu was startled. Could he not go out? This should be very unlikely. Sacred Lord Green Lotus was extraordinary. The method she had taught him should not be limited to just entering and not leaving.
