<h4>Chapter 627: Di Jiu’s Techniques</h4>
Di Jiu became very excited. He did not care about what had happened between the Vast Pure Sacred Sect and Jiang Dai. What mattered to him was that Jiang Dai was not in his nest, and Di Jiu could collect some interest.
He had lost interest in hanging out with the cultivators. After leaving the inn, he immediately purchased an introduction jade slip on the Void Ocean.
It was only then, after reading the introduction, that he realized that it would not be an easy feat to head to the Void Ocean.
Di Jiu did not know whether the Void Ocean was in the Dao World or not, for the introduction jade slip did not say anything about it. There were two roads leading to the Void Ocean. The first was through the Teleportation Array owned by the Dao World’s Five Major Sects, which would allow one to be teleported to the entrance of the Dao World’s ne Defense Array so they could leave the Dao World by taking a merchant boat or joining a team. The Teleportation Array would not teleport one directly to the Void Ocean.
The second road was through the Search Lake. Di Jiu had heard of thiske even before he’d read this jade slip. It might be called ake, but it was quite big.
Several oceans in the Dao Worldbined would still fail to fill the Search Lake. Thergest ce upying thend of the Dao World was the Search Lake, not thend or the oceans. The name ‘Search Lake’ originated from the fact that one could do nothing but search for a way out once they entered the Search Lake.
Because there waske water everywhere, there was no way of knowing which way led tond and which way led out.
Upon entering the Search Lake, most people would get lost. Over the years, numerous experts from the Dao World had entered the Search Lake and less than one percent hade out of it alive.
The Search Lake was also known as the Lost Lake, which meant the same thing: Once one entered, they were forever lost inside.
If one managed to sessfully cross the Search Lake, they could see the broken site of the Dao World’s Defense Array. It was said that one could leave the Dao World and head to the Void Ocean from there.
ording to the jade slip, the Void Ocean was a very mystical ce, as it was located in the void itself and not in any continents or on anys. The Void Ocean was boundless, but the Search Lake was still bigger. Even the Void Ocean would not be found if it was ced inside the Search Lake.
The jade slip did not state anything about the route to the Void Ocean after one exited the Search Lake and entered the void. Di Jiu did not inquire about that either, as he knew that information on the route most likely could not be found in the entire Dao World.
There was nothing he could do about that. He had to go through the Search Lake if he wished to head to the Void Ocean. He couldn’t use the Five Major Sects’ Teleportation Array after all.
It was said that there were many experts in the Void Ocean. Although it was hard to find Dao Integration experts in the Dao World, they could bemonly found in the Void Ocean. This was because many treasures in the Void Ocean could allow one to advance cultivation-wise. Hence, the slots the Five Major Sects had, which would allow one to leave the Dao World to head to the Void Ocean, were extremely valuable.
Besides, one would still have to face immense danger if they headed to the Void Ocean through the Five Major Sects. After all, being teleported to the borders of the Dao World’s Defense Array did not mean that one would arrive directly at the Void Ocean. The teleportation marked only the start of the journey to the Void Ocean. One would still need to search for the Void Ocean after one left the Dao World and entered the vast void.
...
The Dai He Hall was considered one of the best ces for cultivating in the Dao World, although the Divine Spirit Qi was not the densest there.
Thend of the Dao World was indeed huge, but there were not many good ces. One would assume a good ce like the Dai He Hall would be surrounded by markets and numerous Dao Cities.
That was not true, however, for the Dai He Hall Master did not like it.
Di Jiu arrived at the Dai He Hall two dayster. He had prepared all the things he needed and paid a high price to use numerous Teleportation Arrays before arriving at the Dao City located nearest to the Dai He Hall. Then, he reached the borders of the Dai He Hall using his nomological escape technique.
When he saw the Dai He Hall, Di Jiu was envious. Even as he stood a long distance away from the Defense Array at the gates of the Dai He Hall, he could sense the extremely dense Divine Spirit Qi here.
The entire Dai He Hall seemed to have been erected on a sea of clouds. Di Jiu could barely see the peaks of the various buildings among the dense Divine Spirit Qi mist, even when he used the Dao eye.
Thanks to the Nomological Dao he cultivated, he could sense that the Heaven Earth Laws here were more distinct than anywhere else, including the First Evolution Dao Sect.
Di Jiu was certain that Jiang Dai had nted a top-notch treasure under the Dai He Hall.
He knew this without a doubt. Unlike other people, Jiang Dai surely possessed quite a number of treasures. After all, Jiang Dai had nted an immortal spirit meridian underneath the Dai He Hall, which was an impressive act by itself. In addition, the Five-Element Array gs were a Connate treasure that Jiang Dai was willing to let other people use.
Jiang Dai would obtain a few more treasures if the puppets he nted in the Four Major Immortal Continents were still alive. The Square Immortal Cauldron from the Square Immortal Continent and the Thunderp Pearl from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent were examples of such treasures.
Di Jiu decided that he had to take away any treasures this ce had after destroying the Dai He Hall.
The battle between Jiang Dai and the Vast Pure Sacred Sect would most likely not end so swiftly. If Jiang Dai won, he would definitely raid the Vast Pure Sacred Sect first.
As one of the Five Major Sects, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect possessed great strength and should logically not lose. If the Vast Pure Sacred Sect won, Jiang Dai would definitely seek a safe ce to recuperate first and thus would not return to the Dai He Hall so soon.
Jiang Dai would be foolish if he escaped back to the Dai He Hall to recuperate when he was injured. Di Jiu believed that the Vast Pure Sacred Sect would not allow Jiang Dai to walk off freely after sustaining injuries if Jiang Dai provoked them. They would surelye to Jiang Dai’s nest to demand damagepensation. Otherwise, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect would not have been able to be one of the Five Major Sects.
As a precautionary measure, Di Jiu set up a Teleportation Array millions of miles away from the Dai He Hall. This Teleportation Array could be activated using the teleportation talisman. He could not refine top-notch escape talismans, so he could only rely on the Teleportation Array to escape the range of the Dai He Hall.
After setting up the Teleportation Array, Di Jiu surveyed the geography surrounding the Dai He Hall and closely examined the Dai He Hall’s Defense Array. He decided to use the Five-Element gs to set up a peak level-six explosive array core before setting up a number of explosive arrays to create an explosive chain.
He possessed many quality items so he was not worried that he would run out of materials to make high-level explosive arrays.
The Defense Array of the Dai He Hall was a level-five Divine Array. It was something Di Jiu would be able to make himself if given enough time. Therefore, by using one White Cloud Bound g, he entered the Dai He Hall’s Defense Array easily.
Di Jiu felt even more envious of how wealthy Jiang Dai was when he saw whaty within the Defense Array. Level-four divine spirit objects called Condensed Essence Divine Trees were nted everywhere around the Dai He Hall. The entire square of the Dai He Hall was made out of a level-three divine material called Blue Astral Jade. Di Jiu even spotted two Dao fruit trees outside the Dai He Hall.
He wanted to uproot these two Dao fruit trees, but he was worried he might rm the cultivators inside the Dai He Hall. Therefore, hepletely gave up on the notion of obtaining the Dao fruit trees. There was no way people would not know if he dug these trees out.
Within the Dai He Hall’s Defense Array, Di Jiu spent one full day setting up a peak level-six explosive array core. He then nted the four Five-Element gs underneath the explosive array core. The Five-Element gs were a Connate treasure, so he was not worried that the array gs would be shredded by the explosive array. If that happened, then the Five-Element gs would not be so valuable.
After setting up the explosive array core, he set up an explosive array at the Dai He Hall’s Defense Array foundation.
The greatest benefit of the Nomological Dao was that it allowed one to merge with the Heaven Earth Laws. Despite everything, no one in the Dai He Hall realized what Di Jiu had done.
Evidently, Jiang Dai had not left themand of the array to any of his subordinates, perhaps because he did not want anyone else to have control over the Defense Array where he stayed. Otherwise, even with the Nomological Dao, it would not have been possible for Di Jiu to evade the cultivators within the Dai He Hall.
The explosive arrays set up within the Dai He Hall were only appetizers. After leaving the Dai He Hall, Di Jiu started to frantically carve various nomological array gs in the space around the hall. Additionally, he kept scattering physical array gs at the same time. His only aim was to level the Dai He Hall.
Di Jiu set up more than 100 level-four explosive arrays over two consecutive days. He would have continued doing so for one more day, but the worry that Jiang Dai would suddenly return stopped him from doing so.
What he had now was sufficient, however. The explosive arrays, which amounted to more than 100, would form a huge chain. Once activated, the chain would trigger the level-six Divine Array at its array core. Di Jiu was curious to know what the end result would be if something like this blew up.
