“May I ask where this place is?” Di Jiu asked with cupped fists.

That male cultivator reacted and hurriedly bowed. “Senior, this is the Imperial Forbidden Glacier where n.o.body can survive in hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Because there are some Polar Ice Metals around the Imperial Forbidden Glacier, we’re trying our luck outside.”

Frowning slightly, Di Jiu asked again, “What Immortal Protectorate is this?”

Upon hearing that, the male cultivator subconsciously quivered. Given the fact that he had cultivated to a Great Unity Immortal, he was not a fool and could understand what Di Jiu had said. Di Jiu was not from the Microwood Immortal Protectorate.

Despite not being a cultivator from the Microwood Immortal Protectorate, he could enter the Imperial Forbidden Glacier and come out unscathed. It could be seen that he was an exceptional expert.

He said in an increasingly respectful tone, “Senior, this is the Microwood Immortal Protectorate.”

The Microwood Immortal Protectorate? Di Jiu immediately thought of Zhuo Wujia who came from this place. Even Xiuqi had ascended from the Microwood Immortal Protectorate.

Di Jiu once again asked, “I’ll ask you about two people. One of them is called Nong Xiuqi. Do you know her?”

Upon hearing Nong Xiuqi’s name, that male cultivator’s expression instantly changed and his voice also hesitated.

Di Jiu’s expression sank. A pressure landed on this male cultivator, who immediately sensed an extreme danger. He hurriedly said, “Senior, please stop. Senior Nong is the top genius in the Microwood Immortal Continent for so many years. Rumor has it that it only took her more than 300 years to ascend.”

Di Jiu faintly said, “What can’t be said here? Tell me, which sect was Nong Xiuqi from?”

The male cultivator didn’t conceal. “Senior, Senior Nong came from the Immortal Lake Sect.”

“Where is the Immortal Lake Sect?” Di Jiu continued to ask. Since this was not the Four Major Immortal Continents, he wanted to leave right away. However, before that, he wanted to inquire whether his son and daughter were here.

The male cultivator replied in horror, “Senior, don’t think of going to the Immortal Lake Sect. If you go…”

This male cultivator seemed to have recalled that Di Jiu had come out from the Imperial Forbidden Glacier. Perhaps, he would have no problem with the Imperial Forbidden Glacier.

Di Jiu frowned. “Why is that so?”

The male cultivator gritted his teeth and explained, “Senior Nong of the Immortal Lake Sect had ascended to the Upper Realm in a short time back then. After her, the Immortal Lake Sect sent a lot of Immortal Emperor experts whose strength topped the entire Microwood Immortal Protectorate. Rumor has it that there is a Supreme Immortal Meridian that resulted in the Immortal Lake Sect constantly producing top-notch experts.

“The Supreme Immortal Meridian? What is that?” Di Jiu asked. He was a late-stage Primordial Chaos expert after all. After arriving here from other starry sky realms, he actually hadn’t heard of the Supreme Immortal Meridian.

The male cultivator hurriedly answered, “I heard that the Supreme Immortal Meridian is a kind of treasure that surpa.s.ses the supreme-grade immortal meridian. Your cultivation level can improve very rapidly under the Supreme Immortal Meridian. Because the Immortal Lake Sect had the Supreme Immortal Meridian, they produced so many Immortal Emperors.”

Di Jiu sneered. That was nonsense. The Supreme Immortal Meridian had never existed. Even if it did, it would only be a low-grade divine spirit meridian. After Xiuqi, the Immortal Lake Sect had so many Immortal Emperors not because of the Supreme Immortal Meridian, but because of Xiuqi’s cultivation technique.

Nong Xiuqi had cultivated in the Immortal Lake Sect for 300 years and she cultivated the Nomological Dao. During her cultivation, the Heaven Earth Law of the Immortal Lake Sect was absolutely clear and most suitable for cultivation. Therefore, when Nong Xiuqi had progressed fast, the cultivators around her also progressed equally fast. This situation was akin to when he was cultivating, Ding Chi had cultivated alongside.

“Then where is the Immortal Lake Sect?” Di Jiu asked.

Quivering, the male cultivator replied cautiously, “Anyone who goes to the Immortal Lake Sect now will be caught and interrogated…”

“Why?” Di Jiu suddenly thought of that Supreme Immortal Meridian. If there was really a Supreme Immortal Meridian as rumored, it was likely to encounter a miserable fate.

The male cultivator lowered his voice more and more. “Senior, after the Immortal Lake Sect disseminated the Supreme Immortal Meridian, they became more and more prosperous. However, after several Immortal Emperors ascended again thousands of years ago, the Immortal Lake Sect’s strength was greatly reduced. In the end, the Three Major Sects worked together and wiped it out…”

Di Jiu’s expression turned cold and he faintly said, “Why did you dare mention all these? Weren’t you afraid of mentioning them?”

The male cultivator hurriedly took out a jade slip and engraved a position before handing it to Di Jiu. “Senior, this is the position of the Immortal Lake Sect. I didn’t dare to say before because in the eyes of the Three Major Sects, I’m just a n.o.body. Since I’ve already said all these, it doesn’t matter if I say some more. Besides, you are definitely not an ordinary person since you can come out of the Imperial Forbidden Glacier. Senior, I’ve engraved those Three Major Sects in the jade slip. They are the Sword Immortal Sect, Solitary River Sect, and the Starry Flame Sect. These Three Major Sects are also the largest sects of the Microwood Immortal Protectorate after following the Immortal Lake Sect.”

Di Jiu took the jade slip and took out two jade bottles. He handed them to this male cultivator and said, “Thank you. These things are for you.”

After he finished saying that, Di Jiu extended his figure and had disappeared without a trace.

Upon seeing Di Jiu disappear, the male cultivator was relieved. That female cultivator was also relieved and said with a lingering fear, “The senior is really too powerful. I thought he would silence us. I didn’t expect him to spare our lives. Senior Brother that the senior still left us a life. Brother Qi Xun, let’s leave this place quickly.”

The male cultivator nodded his head. “Yes, I also thought we would be silenced. However, I supposed that senior is very strong. This time, the Microwood Immortal Continent will have a good show.”

While saying that, he had casually opened a jade bottle in his hand and said, “This senior is surely an Immortal Emperor expert. The things he gave are not poor… Ah…”

“What’s wrong?” The female cultivator quickly asked.

Trembling, the male cultivator opened another jade bottle and said in a trill voice, “Junior Sister Yi, let’s quickly leave. Look at what this is…”

The male cultivator sent a jade bottle to the female cultivator’s hands. When she saw the things in the jade bottle, she was also shocked. Then, the two of them reacted and fled in another direction.

…

At this moment, Di Jiu had stood at the entrance of the Immortal Lake Sect. The Immortal Lake Sect had been blasted into disorder. Not only that, but the inside of the sect had also been broken and flattened, appearing to be extinct.

The depths of the sect had long been overgrown with various weeds. Di Jiu sighed and even felt a little guilty. Although this matter was not directly related to him, it was also indirectly related because many people had misunderstood Nong Xiuqi’s cultivation technique.

A shadow pounced over from the distance, but Di Jiu did not budge.

That shadow rushed to Di Jiu and shouted sternly, “Who are you? Are you a survivor of the Immortal Lake Sect?”

This was a late-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal male cultivator with thin hair. With one glance, Di Jiu knew that he cultivated a kind of special cultivation technique.

Di Jiu faintly said, “I came to look at Nong Xiuqi’s former residence.”

“As expected, you’re a survivor of the Immortal Lake Sect.” This Zenith Heaven Immortal lifted his hand to grab Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not move or extend his domain. His Spiritual Force had long noticed that among the ruins of the Immortal Lake Sect, there was a hidden Immortal Array with a Zenith Heaven Immortal cultivator hiding inside.

Sure enough, when this thin-haired guy was grabbing Di Jiu, that Zenith Heaven Immortal hiding in the Immortal Array pounced out and had sent a fist move towards him.

When this thin-haired man had suffered a sneak attack, he didn’t immediately hide but sent out a flying sword to help.

Perhaps, he believed that he could avoid the fist move of the other party. However, after this fist move was sent out, he immediately sensed that the surrounding s.p.a.ce had completely locked up all his ability to move.

Bam! That Zenith Heaven Immortal, who had rushed out of the Immortal Array, had sent a fist move on the back of this thin-haired man who then snorted before he was blasted into a ball of minced meat. Even his Princ.i.p.al Spirit couldn’t break free and was disintegrated in this minced meat.

That cultivator, who had rushed out of the Immortal Array to sneak an attack on the thin-haired man, looked at his fist subconsciously. He didn’t understand why he had been so formidable.

Fortunately, he responded very quickly and told Di Jiu eagerly, “This person is from the Solitary River Sect. Their people will very soon come. Let’s quickly leave.”
