<h4>Chapter 241: Bringing Someone Down</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
Boom! The surroundings of the spiritual herb garden exploded with frighteningva, as though a volcano had just erupted. Someva even shot up, rising several hundred feet high.
Di Jiu’s heart sank when he saw the flowingva. Theva was as terrifying as the ear he had obtained from underneath the Abstruse Fire Sect. Theva surged into the herb garden and coagted towards its center. He was now unable to move even a single inch. Di Jiu believed that his death was imminent when he saw theva surround himpletely.
“Di Jiu, I’m sorry. I brought you down this time.” Zhuo Wenshu turned pale. Her Spiritual Force was only at level eight. Although she was stronger than Di Jiu, her sense of her surroundings was significantly weaker than his. She would definitely die if this terrifyingva surrounded her.
Di Jiu ignored Zhuo Wenshu. Meanwhile, his level-ten Spiritual Force spread frantically. He refused to believe that this ce could restrict his level-ten Spiritual Forcepletely.
Just as he had predicted, when his Spiritual Force spread to its limit, he felt a vague vibration in his surroundings. The space around him was like a balloon that had burst open, while its restriction on his body had faded away.
The terrifyingva had already surged up to his feet. Di Jiu had no time to think. He took a step forward, reaching Zhuo Wenshu. Before he could cast the Spiritual Force escape technique, he felt his Spiritual Force stop functioning.
He hastily pushed Zhuo Wenshu away, as he was unable to cast the Spiritual Force escape technique. Then, before he could break free from the Spiritual Force restriction and execute the Spiritual Force escape technique again, the terrifyingva engulfed him.
Di Jiu was scared out of his wits. He dared not even enter the Small World anymore. It would be suicide if he did so while facing ava with an astronomically high temperature.
Whenever theva came into contact with his clothes, Di Jiu felt like he was about to evaporate. He frantically circted the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art while using the Luminous Starry Sky to form an oval-shaped barrier around himself. If it had not been for his Hollow Realm Tempered Body, he was certain that everything would have already been over for him.
After devouring the Earth Fire Vein, the Luminous Starry Sky barely entered the ranks of level-nine mes. Before it couldpletely stabilize itself, Di Jiu took it out and used it as a barrier.
He was pleased that his Dao fire could shield him against the terrifyingva. It was also quickly stabilized. Di Jiu sensed that the aura of his Dao fire was soaring. It seemed like it would be a level-nine me soon.
His body had been strengthened once again by the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art. Although he attempted to push his Spiritual Force out, it was disappointingly blocked thoroughly by theva.
At the moment, Di Jiu could only use some of his Dao fire to maintain his barrier so that he could temper his body.
....
Zhuo Wenshunded outside the crystal Dharma Array and stared in a daze at the spiritual herb garden, which was engulfed by the surgingva. None of the spiritual nts within had survived. The crystal Dharma Array fortunately prevented theva from flowing out. Otherwise, she would need to quickly escape, even though Di Jiu had thrown her out of the garden.
A long moment passed before Zhuo Wenshu bowed towards theva three times. “I’m sorry I brought you down. I owe you a life.”
She was fully aware that Di Jiu would have escaped if he had not chosen to save her. However, she possessed no technique that could allow her to escape. Even if she had, she would not have been able to activate her Spiritual Force. The only thing she could do under the circumstances was wait for her death.
Furthermore, although Di Jiu had cautioned her a few times, she had ignored all his warnings. In the end, she had brought him down.
Afterpleting her bows, Zhuo Wenshu took out a ck jade and used it to carve out a tombstone that she erected outside the crystal Dharma Array. After doing all that, she activated the round disk she was holding and disappeared from theva-filled herb garden.
Zhuo Wenshu was certain that Di Jiu would not be able to survive the terrifyingva. Besides, theva was flowing out. Considering where she was currently, she would soon be flooded byva as well. She had obtained many spiritual herbs that she needed, as well as an extremely rare supreme-grade spirit meridian.
She should be happy about her loot, for her cultivation level would definitely advance before the True Dominion Genius Tournament began. However, she did not feel happy about it. Perhaps she should never havee to the Small Central World in the first ce.
...
Di Jiu continued to circte the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art. At first, he could only let the Dao fire allow in some heat from theva. Later on, he started to let in someva as well.
The strength of Di Jiu’s body soared rapidly in this abominable environment. An unknown amount of time passed before he felt his bones reassemble once again. His bones emitted a radiant re, while his entire body seemed to advance by one level.
Had his body been tempered up to the Spirit Realm?
Di Jiu immediately removed the Dao fire barrier delightedly. Although boundlessva surged over, he remained unharmed.
Di Jiu strolled within theva, not affected in the slightest.
Then, he opened his palm. The blue line inside the ck Dao fire had be more apparent. The Dao fire had wholly joined the level-nine ranks and be extremely stable.
Unfortunately, none of the spiritual nts had survived. Even the spirit meridian had been burned to ashes by theva.
Di Jiu extended his Spiritual Force out for the second time ever since theva had erupted. He could now walk amid theva freely, as he had attained a Spirit Realm Tempered Body. His Spiritual Force was finally free from restrictions, and the entire stretch ofva was within his Spiritual Force range. However, he could not see any treasures.
Di Jiu knew that this ce had been built by the Principal Spirit female cultivator. Thus, he suspected that the Quintessential World that female cultivator had mentioned was here. Unfortunately, he did not know if the Quintessential World would still exist after that terrifyingva had erupted.
Just as Di Jiu was about to leave, another rift opened below theva.
Before Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could enter the rift, ake located underneath the rift was submerged by theva. Di Jiu was shocked. Was that a supreme-grade Spirit Quintessence Lake?
How many quality items did that woman possess? He had only obtained a Spirit Baptism Pith Lake from her when he had been underneath the snowy mountain. However, he had discovered a supreme-grade Spirit Quintessence Lake here. This was obviously the reason the spiritual nts flourished in this area.
Di Jiu could not extract the Spirit Quintessence Lake in time before theke was engulfed by the boundlessva. Upon sensing the increasing density of the Spirit Qi and the rity of the cultivation Dao Laws in the surrounding atmosphere, he felt uneasy and worried that he was in big trouble.
He would never have believed that such a woman, who possessed so many top-notch treasures, would have no powerful background. He had destroyed two ces that had belonged to her. The Floating me g was now in his possession, and he had also taken the Spirit Baptism Pith Lake. Thisva had been evidently prepared for the Corral Spirit me, yet both theva and the Corral Spirit me had served as fertilizer for his Dao fire.
Di Jiu had killed that woman and seized all her belongings. The powers backing up this woman would not let him off once they discovered that he was the culprit.
Di Jiu let out a breath and stopped fretting about this. His priority right now was to quickly make use of the Spirit Quintessence Lake that was being devoured by theva.
He would worry about this when the time came. Di Jiu could only stay underneath theva and start cultivating.
The Gxy Art was circted to its full capability. The Spirit Qi from the Spirit Quintessence Lake, which had just merged with theva, was extracted and continuously absorbed by Di Jiu.
Di Jiu’s gxy meridian was like a bottomless pit that absorbed all the Spirit Qi regardless of the amount that came. Di Jiu extracted a lot of Spirit Qi afterpleting the Qi Circtions. His cultivation experience soared rapidly as well.
It reached the fifth-stage Pioneer Sea Realm, the sixth-stage Pioneer Sea Realm...
...
On the Five Continent Dao Pagoda Square, Xian Ze was staring at the Five Continent Dao Pir in a daze. He had actually seen Di Jiu’s name on the pir. Di Jiu had ascended to the 90th level of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda and now ranked in the top 10. This was unbelievable! Jing Moshuang and the rest were not aware of the full implications of being in the top 10 of the Five Continent Dao Pir, but he was very aware. This meant that he had ced his hopes on the right person. Di Jiu could help him fulfill his dream.
Behind Xian Ze stood Jing Moshuang, Geng Ji, He Tai, Yu Jie, Ceng Beizi and Wei Shanshan. Geng Ji had the highest cultivation level among them.
The ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm was considered nothing in the Small Central World.
“Ah! I can see Senior Brother Di Jiu’s name!” shouted Wei Shanshan as though she had discovered a new horizon.
Actually, everyone had seen Di Jiu’s name. They knew that he had ascended to the 90th level of the pagoda and reached the 10th position. How could anyone not see it, when it was so eye-catching?
“Di Jiu is your Senior Brother?” A cultivator of average height in a robe with blue engravings suddenly appeared in front of Wei Shanshan. His tone wasmanding as he asked this question and stared at her.
Wei Shanshan, who sensed his unfriendly attitude, unconsciously took two steps back.
“You know my Brother Jiu?” Geng Ji, who did not care about things like this, asked as he took a step forward.
Xian Ze huffed before turning around and looking at the cultivator in the blue engraved robe silently.
The cultivator could evidently sense that Xian Ze was stronger than him. Hence, he cupped his fists and said, “I am Ju Qi, an outer sect elder of the Genesis Sect. The Young Master Red Embellishment is under suspicion of being rted to the disappearance of the Genesis Sect Master. The entire sect is currently searching for him.”
