    Di Jiu stared nkly at the terrifying me before him. He had not expected that such a terrifying me would erupt when his Dao fire met the Moon Core and the Sun Core.


    The Defense Array that he had set up had long been turned into nothing by the Dao fire, which had devoured the Moon Core and the Sun Core. That was a level-six Divine Defense Array. Di Jiu suspected that if he had not had a Sacred Body or this me had not been his, he would probably have ended up the same as the Defense Array outside: He would have been annihted.


    The heat of the Dao fire kept rising and he felt the tremors of space. How terrifying was the me to be able to burn this space and make it tremble?


    As the Moon Core and the Sun Core were continuously devoured, the color of the Dao fire became lighter and lighter.


    The tremor of the space got so much stronger that even Ling Xiaoshuang, who was in seclusion to stabilize her cultivation level in the distance, was aware of it. Immediately, she walked to Di Jiu’s cave abode. Unfortunately, her Spiritual Force was blocked by the frantically-advancing Dao fire so she could not permeate it at all. At the moment, Ling Xiaoshuang could only shout outside, “Big Brother Di, are you okay?”


    Di Jiu hurriedly replied, “I’m fine. I’m cultivating something. You should go back and stabilize your cultivation level.”


    Even though Di Jiu did not say so clearly, Ling Xiaoshuang guessed that he should be advancing his me. If his me required the Moon Core and the Sun Core to advance at the same time, it could only be the Dao fire.


    Ling Xiaoshuang had heard of the Dao fire. Since ancient times, only a few cultivators had condensed the Dao fire. After all, the Dao fire was the most difficult to advance. In fact, after the Dao fire advanced to the divine level, there was basically no hope of advancing it further.


    That was because there were only two ways to advance the Dao fire from a divine me to a sacred me, and one of them was to use a Fire Origin Pearl. How rare was an Origin Pearl, not to mention a Fire Origin Pearl? Not many people were willing to use an Origin Pearl to advance their me.


    Besides the Origin Peal, the Moon Core and the Sun Core could be used simultaneously. However, they were both rare. They were also not any less precious than the Origin Pearl.


    It was indeed possible to only use one of them for advancement. However, not only would the Dao fire have an ordinary power, but it would also gradually lose a little of its spirituality.


    Unexpectedly, Di Jiu could condense the Dao fire. Despite that, he had even advanced the Dao fire to the divine level and obtained the Moon Core and the Sun Core at the same time.


    After guessing that Di Jiu was advancing his Dao fire, Ling Xiaoshuang did not worry anymore and turned to return to her cave abode.


    Just half a monthter, the me that had been rising in heat was gradually stabilized. Then, it turned into a small gray spark andnded on Di Jiu’s palm.


    At that moment, Di Jiu could clearly feel everything about the Dao fire. Even without any thoughts, the Dao fire could do what he really wanted to do the most.


    When his Spiritual Force moved, the Dao fire turned into a gray me pattern andnded on the back of his hand. When his Spiritual Force moved again, the me stopped in his Spiritual Sea.


    When this gray mended on the palm of his hand again, Di Jiu was ecstatic. He finally had a sacred me. If everything went well, he would soon have a second kind of sacred me after some time. After all, he had a piece of the Moon Core.


    Di Jiu knew that the Dao fire was different from other mes. Many mes would give birth to fire spirits after bing a sacred me, but the Dao fire would never have a fire spirit because every part of the fire was bestowed upon the owner.


    Di Jiu took out a piece of Nirvana ck Metal Stone. When his intent moved, the Dao fire enveloped this Nirvana ck Metal Stone. Immediately, Di Jiu was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Dao fire hadpleted all his hand seals while his intent had moved.


    In just half an hour, this piece of Nirvana ck Metal Stone had been refined by the Dao fire into a high-grade long saber.


    It was as powerful as expected, so Di Jiu was even more satisfied. When the Dao fire had refined the long saber just now, he had only used his own intent without taking the initiative to do any cksmithing hand seals or movements. If he wanted to do that, a high-grade divine weapon might not be refined but a supreme-grade divine weapon most likely would.


    Without hesitation, Di Jiu drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber and took out the white Melted Metal. He had always wanted to advance the Heavenly Aqua Saber but had never had a chance. Since he had the materials and a sacred me, when would he advance his Heavenly Aqua Saber if not now?


    As soon as the Melted Metalnded on the Dao fire, it immediately turned into pure metal-elementws. This was the first time that Di Jiu saw the material turn intows. At the moment, he did not dare hesitate.


    The Heavenly Aqua Saber was sent into this kind ofw by Di Jiu. Thews and the Heavenly Aqua Saber merged as he constantly performed these hand seals.


    In the beginning, his hand seals followed one after another. However,ter on, they formedws that merged with the Melted Metal and the Heavenly Aqua Saber. As a result, the aura of the Heavenly Aqua Saber also frantically rose.


    nk! A clear sound was heard before the space instantly turned silent.


    Di Jiu looked at the Heavenly Aqua Saber that floated before him in pleasant surprise. It was a light green color and it was slightly emitting a small silver starlight re.


    By the time he drew his saber, that frantic saber intent aura could no longer be covered.


    Di Jiu opened his palm and the Heavenly Aqua Sabernded in it. He heaved a sigh of contentment. At first, he had felt happy that his Heavenly Aqua Saber could be a high-grade divine weapon.


    Now, not only had his Heavenly Aqua Saber be a high-grade divine weapon, but it had also be a supreme-grade divine weapon.


    Di Jiu knew very well that this was not only caused by the supreme-grade Melted Metal, but also by the enlightenment of his cksmithing hand seal and alchemy hand seal, which had formed a whole set of nomological cksmithing seals. Apart from that, there was also his Dao fire, which was really suitable for advancing the Heavenly Aqua Saber.


    The fire, the saber, and the cksmithingws were all his. This would naturally allow his Heavenly Aqua Saber to advance.


    Di Jiu opened his mouth and spit a trail of blood on the Heavenly Aqua Saber. After his intent was re-integrated into the Heavenly Aqua Saber, the saber with the unrestrained saber intent turned into an ordinary saber weapon thatnded behind him.


    Di Jiu stood up. He knew that he could go save Cai Ji with Ling Xiaoshuang now. As for whether he would continue to cksmith in seclusion, Di Jiu did not want to waste any time.


    The Heavenly Aqua Saber had advanced to a supreme-grade divine weapon, and the Dao fire had advanced into a sacred me, raising hisbat strength to another level.


    “Big Brother Di, you’re out of seclusion so quickly?” Ling Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu in pleasant surprise. She had nned to wait for Di Jiu for three months and had not expected that he woulde out of seclusion to find her and look for Sister Cai Ji within a month.


    “Yes, I seeded in advancing my me so we can go now.” Di Jiu did not hide anything from Ling Xiaoshuang. He also knew that she should be aware of his Dao fire and that he had advanced it into a sacred me.


    ...


    Thanks to Ling Xiaoshuang, Di Jiu knew that the Five Great Realms were different from other realms. Every realm in the Five Great Realms had a void gateway one could use to enter the vast void.


    Although the Great Ultimate Realm had fallen, this void gateway still existed. Even though the major array of the void square and the void exit had never been restored, people were still guarding them.


    However, any cultivator who entered or returned from the void there had to take out a certain amount of divine crystals.


    100,000 divine crystals was a huge amount for an ordinary cultivator, but for Di Jiu, that was really nothing.


    He took out 200,000 divine crystals to purchase two jade cards and leave the Great Ultimate Realm.


    Before Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang could reach the void square while holding the jade cards, two women stopped them. Di Jiu was not surprised to see them.


    He knew Yin Yueshu, who was only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos. The other woman, who was extremely pretty and had a faint water-element aura encircling her, was much stronger than Yin Yueshu and had been stabilized at half-step Dao Integration.


    “Yueshu, were you talking about these two?” the half-step Dao Integration woman next to Yin Yueshu asked. Based on her indifferent tone, she did not take Dao Integration and Ling Xiaoshuang seriously.


    Yin Yueshu did not seem to hear the woman beside her. Instead, she stared at Di Jiu in amazement before she said after a while, “Elder Jiu You of the Winter Valley did not keep the two of you?”
