The violent Fist Mountains then made a cracking sound. Xing Xi’s domain had completely shattered, and Di Jiu was overjoyed. This woman had not left after her domain had shattered. As long as his fist aura showed up, she would not be able to flee no matter what techniques she had. It seemed like he had overestimated her.

Crack! A faint blue glow exploded and Di Jiu’s continuous fist aura suddenly paused as though it had been obstructed by a thin layer of light.

A moment later, Di Jiu heard every inch of Xing Xi’s bones cracking before she opened her mouth to spit out an arrow of blood. Then, she disappeared without a trace.

Di Jiu didn’t go after Xing Xi. He had not misjudged this woman, whom he really couldn’t kill. Furthermore, he knew that Xing Xi had not gone far. She had stopped just 1,000 feet away from him.

That layer of blue light armor was a top-notch defensive treasure.

Despite the distance between Xing Xi and Di Jiu, he was aware that he still could not keep her. Without the layer of blue light coming from her protective Dharma treasure, he could catch her easily with his nomological escape technique. However, since she had that, he could not catch her even if he went after her.

Xing Xi did not leave, apparently knowing that he could not catch her.

Xing Xi wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth and took out an elixir pill to swallow it. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could even clearly sense that Xing Xi’s bones, which had been smashed by his fist move, had rapidly recovered and her injuries had quickly disappeared.

Evidently, the elixir pill that Xing Xi had swallowed was a healing treasure above a Primordial Dao Pill. That woman was truly formidable.

After swallowing an elixir pill, Xing Xi looked at Di Jiu faintly and said calmly, “You are strong. I believe that if my cultivation level is lower than yours, then I’m definitely not your match. The Five Great Creation Treasures were gathered back then. What I found strange was how you cultivated the Creation cultivation technique.”

The Creation cultivation technique? Di Jiu frowned at Xing Xi and answered calmly, “From now on, stay far away from me. I’ll give you a piece of advice as well. Go back and cultivate well. Otherwise, when my cultivation reaches the next level, don’t you dare leave with that technique of yours.”

Xing Xi had not expected Di Jiu to speak so rudely. However, she did not leave, as she wanted to know more than anyone why Di Jiu’s strength was so heaven-defying. She cultivated the Creation cultivation technique, which was on the same level as Di Jiu’s cultivation. However, not only could she not beat Di Jiu, but she was also too inferior to him. If she did not know why, she wouldn’t be able to sleep. The only thing she lacked was a Creation Dharma treasure.

She believed that as long as she knew why, she could one day seek revenge for the past. A person like Ming He, who was garbage in her opinion, had forced her to retreat. She would not feel relieved even after a few lifetimes.

Upon seeing that Xing Xi still wanted to speak, Di Jiu took a step forward and said with an ice-cold tone, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t get out of my sight, I’ll kill you even if I have to hunt you down to the end of the world.”

Di Jiu was not spouting nonsense. Indeed, he could not kill Xing Xi now. However, if he truly made up his mind to hunt Xing Xi down, she would only keep fleeing in the universe unless she had a huge pile of Plane Split Talismans.

Unfortunately, that would waste too much of his time.

“Three…” Di Jiu had always just counted to three directly. After he counted to three this time, Xing Xi’s figure disappeared without a trace.

Di Jiu did not go after her, as he could not afford to waste so much time. He had already suspected that Xing Xi was like a roundworm in his stomach. How had she known that he would count directly to three?

She was simply a firm woman.

“Big Brother Di, I didn’t expect you to be so formidable that even Xing Xi would not be your match,” Qu Fang said excitedly. It was no wonder that Di Jiu was not afraid of the Xian Family. After all, it turned out that he was really valiant.

Di Jiu patted Qu Fang and said, “Xing Xi will definitely not do anything to you while I’m by your side. However, that woman is simply too terrifying. If you meet her again one day, I’m afraid you will only face death. Hence, I suggest that you work hard and cultivate after you leave the Xian Ocean. That woman is blunt and firm. If my guess is right, I’m afraid it will be hard for your family to survive.”

Obviously, Qu Fang had guessed that his family would inevitably escape narrowly. His eyes were a little red as he took out a simple monochord and handed it to Di Jiu before saying, “Big Brother, that woman is seeking this. This is called the Chaotic Wooden Zither that the Qu Family’s Elder inadvertently obtained. Since I can’t keep it now, I’ll give it to you.”

Amazed, Di Jiu took the Chaos Wooden Zither. Then, a clear sound seemed to penetrate directly the deepest part of his soul. Di Ji even sensed that his soul was much clearer, but then the Chaos Wooden Zither restored it to its original quiet state.

This was definitely an unusual zither. Even though he could not play the zither, he looked at it and asked Qu Fang, “Why does this zither only have one string?”

Qu Fang said shamefully, “Because I can only play with one string based on my strength. I heard my father say that this Chaos Wooden Zither could have nine strings maximum. The other strings have yet to come out because of my strength.”

Di Jiu placed the Chaos Wooden Zither once again in Qu Fang’s hands. “Brother Qu, keep this zither for yourself. It is very likely to become a connate treasure. When the zither has nine strings based on your strength in the future, you may not necessarily be afraid of Xing Xi. In other words, even if you’re not Xing Xi’s match, you will have a chance to flee. If I take your zither, you will undoubtedly die. With the zither, you’ll have a glimmer of hope to surpa.s.s that woman in the future.”

Di Jiu knew very well that even if he helped Qu Fang put away the Chaos Wooden Zither, Xing Xi would kill Qu Fang when she found him.

Knowing that Di Jiu did not want his Chaos Wooden Zither, Qu Fang took it back and told Di Jiu with a bow, “Thank you, Big Brother. After I leave the Xian Ocean, I will concentrate fully on cultivating. I will not come before my Dao forms.”

Di Jiu nodded, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Qu Fang. “This is one of my escape techniques. It’s called the Spiritual Force escape technique. I’ll give it to you so you can cultivate in the future.”

As far as the elixir pills were concerned, Di Jiu did not give any to Qu Fang. Qu Fang’s future would obviously not follow the path of an ordinary cultivator. Even if he gave Qu Fang an elixir pill to advance to Dao Transformation or Primordial Dao, it wouldn’t help him much. Xing Xi could still instantly kill him.

Only by looking for cultivation resources by himself and moving forward step by step could Qu Fang cultivate his survival ability. If he did not have that ability, Qu Fang would inevitably perish. Di Jiu could not help him.

As for why he gave Qu Fang the Spiritual Force escape technique, it was because he was certain that Qu Fang wouldn’t be able to find a better technique than that. Therefore, he gave the Spiritual Force escape technique to Qu Fang so that he had at least a chance to escape.

Qu Fang thanked Di Jiu and put away the Spiritual Force escape technique. He was still unaware of how powerful the Spiritual Force escape technique was.

“Let’s go. We’re going to look for the Supreme Glazed True Silver.” Upon seeing Qu Fang put away the Spiritual Force escape technique, Di Jiu stopped talking about Xing Xi. He was absolutely sure that Xing Xi was still there.

That place was completely dark. Apart from the ice-cold ocean water aura, there were only uneven reefs and Gobi areas. There were also some outer sh.e.l.ls that had come from the bottom of the ocean and weathered coral reefs that had existed for many years.

After walking around once, they felt that they had arrived at the bottom of the ocean, although there was no ocean water.

This was a mystic area that had just opened, as well as a place hidden by natural Dharma Arrays. After Di Jiu and Qu Fang walked for a day, the best thing they found was a piece of level-three Supreme Glazed True Silver.

“Big Brother, I doubt there is any high-level Supreme Glazed True Silver here.” Qu Fang knew a bit more about the Xian Ocean than Di Jiu. This mystic area had just opened and everyone had just come in, so n.o.body had looked around yet. Since they had spent a day looking but had not seen any good Supreme Glazed True Silver, that meant that there was probably no Supreme Glazed True Silver there.

“Wait a minute…” Instead of continuing to scan the area with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu opened his Dao eye. Then, he was surprised to realize that he could still see some grayness in that s.p.a.ce.

Di Jiu aroused his Divine Essence and reached out to grab an area in the gray void place. Thanks to his Divine Essence, it seemed as if a substantial wall had been caught. Then, Di Jiu grabbed a piece of starry sky silver ore that was the size of a washbasin.

“Level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver…” Qu Fang was so excited that his voice trembled. He had been here for a long time but had never seen true level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver.
