Chapter 634: The Way out of the Search Lake

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Friend, I did not make a move just now.” When Huang Quan saw Di Jiu approaching, his treacherous eyes were no longer calm.

Di Jiu stopped. He looked at Huang Quan and told him, “Oh, but I heard clearly that even if Feng Binglu, who I killed just now, didn’t make a move on an arrogant piece of trash like me, you would do so.”

Huang Quan forcefully calmed himself down and told Di Jiu with cupped fists, “I apologize for what I said earlier. I was in the wrong. I didn’t know that Feng Binglu had really s.n.a.t.c.hed your Search Lake Mythical Birds. Otherwise, I would have made a move on Feng Binglu without you making the first move.”

Huang Quan knew better than anyone that he was not stronger than Feng Binglu. Since Di Jiu could easily kill Feng Binglu, it meant that he could also easily kill him.

The surrounding people held their breath. Di Jiu had killed Feng Binglu like cutting a melon, and Huang Quan was pleading for his life now. If they did not want to live, they would not have spouted nonsense at such a time.

Shu Bu’s face grew paler. He had thought of escaping, but where could he escape to? There was a certain life at this place. If he escaped now, he would only face death. At the moment, he could only hope that Di Jiu would be magnanimous and would not hold any grudges against him. He had not offended Di Jiu too severely after all.

He glanced at Xue Yu, hoping that when Di Jiu provoked him later on, Xue Yu would speak on his behalf.

Xue Yu also looked at Di Jiu with half his mouth open. At that moment, he understood why Di Jiu, who was a Dao Birth cultivator, had dared to chase after him to inquire about some matters and even board his flying boat.

It was not because he had been lucky enough to meet someone easy to talk to, but because he had been lucky enough to meet Di Jiu, who was easy to talk to.

“Oh, but I bear grudges.” Di Jiu raised his hands and his Heavenly Aqua Saber produced a buzzing sound. Then, waves after waves of Saber Qi spread.

Huang Quan lifted his hands to slap himself. “Brother Di, I, Huang Quan, am a piece of trash. I spouted nonsense just now.”

Since Di Jiu was unwilling to give him face, Huang Quan dared not continue trying to save face. He was sure that Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber would lock onto him.

Di Jiu faintly replied, “First, give me all the information about the Search Lake. You have been living there for many years. Second, compensate me for some items. Third, swear that you will not capture Search Lake Mythical Birds by the Search Lake again.”

“Yes, yes.” Upon hearing that Di Jiu did not intend to bear a grudge, Huang Quan did not dare to bargain. He took out a ring and handed it to Di Jiu without hesitation. He then took an oath. “From this day onward, if I dare to kill a Search Lake Mythical Bird, I shall die by Thunder Tribulation.”

“Scram to the side and sit.” Di Jiu snorted and did not make a move on Huang Quan. There was always someone like him everywhere so he could not kill them all.

“Senior…” Shu Bu’s voice was somewhat trembling.

Di Jiu scanned Shu Bu coldly and faintly said, “I have the same doubts as you. How are you still alive? You’re a mere Dao Transformation expert but you treat yourself as the Dao Master of the Universe.”

Shu Bu respectfully lowered himself, not daring to say a word.

“Brother Di…” Xue Yu laughed bitterly. Not long ago, he had still thought that he was taking care of Di Jiu. He now knew that Di Jiu had been taking care of him with his strength.

Di Jiu patted Xue Yu’s shoulder before he stood up and told everyone, “Everyone, please take a seat.”

Even Huang Quan could only do what Di Jiu said. At the moment, n.o.body dared to say anything. Since Di Jiu wanted them to sit down, n.o.body dared to object.

People were being treated according to their strength in a place like the Search Lake, which was reflected in great detail. If this place offended an expert, many people would perish. Even though the Search Lake was vast, there was not much s.p.a.ce to escape to.

“Everyone, I entered the Search Lake not long ago to go to the Void Ocean. After I arrived at the Search Lake, I discovered that there was no direction whatsoever. I want to ask everyone how to search for the path to the Void Ocean.” When Di Jiu cupped his fists, he sounded very polite.

n.o.body responded, as these people were left speechless by his question. If they had known the path to the Void Ocean, who would still have been trapped here? Furthermore, he’d only realized that there were no directions after entering the Search Lake. How did this fellow…

As a few of them were wondering how come Di Jiu was still alive, they disconnected from their thoughts. The explanation had already been demonstrated on Feng Binglu.

Di Jiu, who did not care what everyone thought, added, “Of course, there is probably no one who knows the path to the Void Ocean. However, that is alright. As long as anyone has experience with the route of the Search Lake or has any directions, you can make a deal with me.”

n.o.body spoke. If Di Jiu had not been that formidable, someone might have spoken sarcastically.

Di Jiu took out a pile of jade bottles, put them in front of him, and said, “I have Segmented Cloud Pills, Divine Cloud Pills, Fighting Spirit Pills, Ma.s.s Adversity Pills… I even have the Destiny Dao Fruit that you need. Of course, if you don’t want these Dao pills and need some offensive Dharma treasures, I have some of them as well. Apart from these items, I still have the First Evolution True Dew. As for Divine Essence Pills, I have many of them. As long as your item is of the same value, we can make a deal.”

The indifferent cultivators started breathing urgently one by one after hearing what Di Jiu had said.

Some of them even suspected that they were dreaming. Di Jiu had taken out the Dao pills and the Dao fruits, which was simply crazy. The Segmented Cloud Pills and the Ma.s.s Adversity Pills were top-notch healing Dao elixirs, the Divine Cloud Pills were used to restore the Divine Essence of a Sacred Emperor below the Primordial Dao, and the Fighting Spirit Pills were elixir pills used to expand one’s Princ.i.p.al Spirit…

These elixir pills were what they had yearned for day and night, and the young cultivator before them had taken out a pile of jade bottles. Apart from those, there was still First Evolution True Dew, which was even more precious than the Dao pills.

Could a cultivator be so wealthy? Even in the Dao World, they might not necessarily meet such a person, let alone in the Search Lake.

If Di Jiu had not been that powerful, the people there might have gone over to s.n.a.t.c.h them.

Everyone quietened down, as they all wanted Di Jiu’s items. However, they could not take out anything of the same value.

“Senior, I have a jade slip here. What do you think it can be exchanged with?” After a long while, a late-stage Dao Transformation cultivator carefully took out a jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu took the jade slip and scanned it with his Spiritual Force. He was ecstatic, as this was actually the route to the Void Ocean. On the Search Lake, the location with the most spatial dislocation was the Void Ocean. With this jade slip, Di Jiu was sure that he could find the Void Ocean. Wasn’t the spatial dislocation an area he could not scan with his Spiritual Force? On his journey, he had seen many of them.

This jade slip was obviously newly-engraved, but Di Jiu did not mind anymore. He put it away and calmed down again. “Not bad, this is useful to me. What do you want?”

“I want a Fighting Spirit Pill,” the Dao Transformation cultivator hurriedly responded.

Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and threw it to him. “It’s a deal. I’ll give you a Segmented Cloud Pill as well.”

“Thank you, Senior.” The Dao Transformation cultivator was overjoyed. Since his Princ.i.p.al Spirit had been damaged, he only needed one Fighting Spirit Pill so that he could advance. As long as his Princ.i.p.al Spirit was restored, he could immediately head to the Void Ocean. Where would he obtain a healing Dao pill like the Segmented Cloud Pill?

Di Jiu once again focused his attention on them. “Does anyone else have anything to exchange? If you dare exchange any trash and waste my time, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

A few Dao Transformation cultivators who had wanted to exchange trash with Di Jiu refrained from doing so. Di Jiu was not joking when he said that he would show no mercy. He had killed Feng Binglu with two saber moves. Although they coveted his good items, their lives were more important.

Di Jiu only waited for several seconds before he put away the items in front of him. He got up and said, “Brother Xue, I intend to go to the Void Ocean. Do you want to come with me?”

Xue Yu was aware of how formidable Di Jiu was, so he said with a loud laugh, “Thank you for looking up to me, Brother Di. I, Xue Yu, will follow you.”

“Let’s go.” Di Jiu did not hesitate before he turned to leave the Exchange Stone House.

In this stone house, apart from Xue Yu, who had helped him, none of the cultivators had any intention of helping him. Therefore, Di Jiu did not plan on asking anyone else to come along.

The pair of Search Lake Mythical Birds also flew out along with Di Jiu. When he landed on the Search Lake, he once again took out a ring, handed it to one of the birds, and said, “You guys have swallowed the Dao fruit and have not stabilized your cultivation level. You should stay away from this place and search for a place to stabilize your cultivation level. I’m going to cross the Search Lake, so the journey will be very dangerous.”

One of the Search Lake Mythical Birds grabbed Di Jiu’s ring and circled him three times with the other bird before they cried in unison. They then rushed up into the sky and vanished in the distance.
