Ninth In The World Chapter 877 - Mountain Gaze’s Peak

Chapter 877: Mountain Gaze’s Peak

“You know Yi Ji?” Di Jiu asked immediately when he saw Dao Lord Po Xu’s look of surprise.

Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu speechlessly. “Brother Di, I would definitely have suggested that you proceed with the trade if it had been anyone else. However, since this is Yi Ji, I suggest that you give up.”

“Why?” Di Jiu and Chu Manhe inquired at almost the same time.

Dao Lord Po Xu inhaled deeply before speaking slowly. “Among my generation, Yi Ji is certainly considered one of the top 10 most powerful people in the entire universe. He is considered one of the top five as well.”

Di Jiu gasped upon hearing that. He knew very well that many exceptional experts had been born when the universe had first been created. Even Du Mo was far beyond his grasp, let alone the Dao Master of the Universe. If Yi Ji ranked in the top five, did this mean that he was at the same level as these people?

“This person is really that powerful?” Di Jiu started to lose his confidence.

Dao Lord Po Xu said with certainty, “He is more formidable than I’ve described. Everyone calls him Itinerant Yi Ji. The reason he became so powerful is because he possesses a Creation item known as the Golden Page World. This Creation item comes with its own set of cultivation techniques, so he practices the Creation cultivation technique.”

Chu Manhe could not believe that Dao Lord Po Xu was so afraid of Itinerant Yi Ji given the former’s status. In her opinion, Itinerant Yi Ji was nothing to write home about. This itinerant cultivator would not have been able to survive after Dao Lord Ye had attacked him if he had not had the Creation Dao runes.

Di Jiu fell silent upon learning about the Creation treasures. He owned many treasures, but none of them was comparable to the Creation treasures. Then, he thought of the Sacred Lord Green Lotus, who similarly possessed a Creation treasure. Theoretically, the Sacred Lord Green Lotus might not even be Itinerant Yi Ji’s match.

Chu Manhe suddenly said, “My friend Ning Cheng also possesses a Creation treasure.”

Many people knew that Ning Cheng owned the Heaven Earth Pearl. Chu Manhe mentioned this to reiterate the fact that Ning Cheng did not care much for Dao Lord Po Xu’s tablet.

Dao Lord Po Xu frowned. “There are numerous Creation treasures in the universe, and they are all owned by someone. What does your friend own?”

“The Heaven Earth Pearl,” Chu Manhe stated, silently feeling really good about it. Ning Cheng owned the Heaven Earth Pearl, so there was no reason he would care about a tablet.

“This is impossible. The Heaven Earth Pearl belonged to Xuanhuang Guyan. How did it come into your friend’s possession? Even if your friend won a fight against Dao Lord Strength, he should not have been capable of obtaining Xuanhuang Guyan’s Heaven Earth Pearl,” Dao Lord Po Xu said with certainty without hesitation upon hearing Chu Manhe’s claim.

Chu Manhe chuckled. “Unfortunately, this ‘powerful’ Xuanhuang Guyan you speak of was killed by Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng saw that that fella had a certain apt.i.tude, which is why he allowed the latter to be reincarnated.”

“Xuanhuang Guyan was killed…” Dao Lord Po Xu murmured repeatedly. Then, he laughed self-derisively. “I actually intend to find the person who killed Xuanhuang Guyan. He he…”

Di Jiu walked over and clapped Dao Lord Po Xu on the shoulder. “Po Xu, don’t beat yourself over it. Your Primeval Void-Breaking Finger is indeed powerful. It is just that your current cultivation level is too low and your Dao has yet to completely form. In the future, when I attain the third step, follow me to the Creation Gate to see just how formidable those third-step experts are.”

Dao Lord Po Xu, who was feeling desolate, perked up. “Yes, Brother Di. I will follow you from now on. Of course, this will have to wait until this crisis is over, or everything will be meaningless.”

Di Jiu looked at the tightly-shut doors of the trading hall. He knew that he had to attain the apex Dao upon Dao Integration, for he would lose his life if someone discovered what kind of treasures he possessed.

“Daoist Di, I’ve heard of a place…” Chu Manhe suddenly stopped speaking and looked around subconsciously.

Di Jiu smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even if you shout, no one will hear you.”

He had already carved various Dharma Arrays using nomological array flags. Otherwise, he would not have chatted with Dao Lord Po Xu so freely for so long.

Chu Manhe made a noise of a.s.sent and said, “I partic.i.p.ated in the second Creation War but I died before I even entered the Creation Gate. When the Dao Abyss first appeared, it was at the foot of the Mountain Gaze. The Mountain Gaze seemed to span across the entire universe. Many people attained the Dao at the Mountain Gaze, and many others naturally did it in the Dao Abyss.

“However, I’m certain that no one managed to reach the Mountain Gaze Peak, not even the apex experts fighting over the Creation…”

Chu Manhe paused suddenly before saying excitedly, “I think I finally understood.”

“Understood what?” Dao Lord Po Xu inquired anxiously.

Di Jiu vaguely understood that Chu Manhe was trying to tell him to attain Dao Integration on the Mountain Gaze Peak. If he knew the way there, he would give it a try.

Chu Manhe replied excitedly, “When the Creation Gate opened, countless people wanted to enter it, but no one thought of ascending to the Mountain Gaze Peak. Perhaps, some of them thought of it but were simply too weak to accomplish it. I’m thinking that one could possibly have to choose between the Creation Gate and the Mountain Gaze Peak. Going to one equals giving up on the other.”

Di Jiu was not knowledgeable about the Creation War, but Po Xu’s eyes lit up as he insisted agitatedly. “That must be it, that must be it… Brother Di, you must head to the Mountain Gaze Peak to attain Dao Integration. That is the most ideal place for you to do so.”

Sometimes, things seemed to be obscured by a thin piece of paper. Once it was ripped, everyone would be able to see things more clearly. Otherwise, everything would be beyond comprehension.

Di Jiu clenched his fists tightly. “I intend to do so regardless of whether I will be able to successfully attain Dao Integration. Since the Creation Gate appeared at the foot of the Mountain Gaze, the Mountain Gaze Peak must be an extraordinary place as well. However, how can I reach the peak?”

This was no longer the period of the Creation War. The Mountain Gaze had long disappeared, and only the Dao Abyss remained in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

Chu Manhe said, “Daoist Di, the Dao Abyss is located at the foot of the Mountain Gaze, so there should be a path leading out of here. We just need to find it.”

Di Jiu agreed with Chu Manhe wholeheartedly. He thus took out a Quintessential World and said, “Senior Sister Manhe, we have only known each other for a very short time, but I have confidence in you as my friend. Call me Ah Jiu if you don’t mind. Right now, I intend to search for the Mountain Gaze Peak. Come into my Quintessential World if you want to. I will definitely find a way to perfect your body.”

Chu Manhe, who was a straightforward person, replied, “Ah Jiu, from now on, we are friends. I will enter the Quintessential World first. Call for me to come out when you find the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus. If you cannot find the lotus, take me to the Great Simplicity Mountain in the Great Simplicity Realm when you manage to get out of here in the future.”

Di Jiu promised. “Don’t worry, Senior Sister Manhe. I will definitely help you get a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus if there is one here.”

Chu Manhe did not continue insisting as she entered Di Jiu’s Quintessential World.

Then, Dao Lord Po Xu said, “Brother Di, if there is indeed a road that leads to the Mountain Gaze from the Dao Abyss, it must definitely be that black path.”

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the aforementioned path. There were many small paths around, but the black one was very eye-catching. It was not any broader than the other paths, although it was the only one that was black in color.
