Chapter 528 - Returning to the Square Immortal Continent

Chapter 528: Returning to the Square Immortal Continent
Di Jiu hurriedly took out a jade box and handed it to Mo Louxue. He then apologized and said,
I actually planned on discussing the Dao with Immortal Emperor Melting Snow, but I just returned to the Gigantic Tripod and learned about something huge. I have to leave this place immediately, but before that happens, I’ll give this to you…

When she heard that Di Jiu would not even give her a chance to sit down and talk, the rosiness on Ai Qingbing’s ear instantly vanished and her face grew slightly pale. She knew very well why her Master had brought her here today and had actually not said no. She looked up to Di Jiu’s style of doing things, as well as his techniques. As for Di Jiu’s gift, she looked up to that even more. During his first time on the Demonic Clothing Mountain, Di Jiu had not given her Master a chance to talk. It was the same this time.
Mo Louxue also frowned slightly, as Di Jiu had not given her a chance to talk twice in a row. She even suspected that Di Jiu knew her intent and did this to stop her from speaking.
Given Qingbing’s appearance and talent, she would not disgrace Di Jiu. But why was he behaving like this?

Oh, that’s right. How come the two Guild Masters of the Elixir Association are missing?
Di Jiu did not care about the expression on Mo Louxue and Ai Qingbing’s faces. He thought of Qu Hen and Chen Zishun and turned his head once again and asked Mi Ji this question.
The Plane Split Talisman that Qu Hen had given him carried a hint of Poison Dao engraving. He wanted to ask where he’d gotten it from.
Mi Ji hurriedly answered,
After the Alchemy Emperor returned from the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent’s Brilliant Lake Palace, the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association was increasingly prosperous. All kinds of Alchemy Masters came over one by one, which made the price of immortal pills in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City drop. This also made the number of cultivators in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City increase. Thanks to its fairness and justice, this place became increasingly prosperous.
The two Guild Masters returned from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent not long ago and Guild Master Qu left the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. There was no news of Guild Master Qu Hen for decades after he left, so Guild Master Chen was worried and left as well. However, he did not return either, so I am barely managing the Elixir Association now.


Do you know where they went?
Di Jiu felt that something was wrong but could not make out what.
Mi Ji shook his head.
I don’t know either. I only heard Guild Master Chen say that Guild Master Qu wanted to end a feud and never return.


City Lord Mi, focus the majority of your energy on the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. Let the Elixir Association choose a new Guild Master through their own elections.
Di Jiu felt that Mi Ji managing the Elixir Association would be unfavorable for their development.

Yes, I will get it done.
Mi Ji bowed and responded without any delay.

Also, you must know Geng Ji, right? After he came to the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, where did he go?
The crystal ball Geng Ji had left behind was in an unfamiliar place. Even though he’d mentioned the Square Immortal Continent, there was no familiar scenery of it.
Mi Ji hurriedly nodded.
I know, but he did not tell me where he was going before he left the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.

Di Jiu did not ask further. Instead, he apologetically told Mo Louxue, who did not look pleased,
Daoist Mo, I have an important thing to do indeed. Once I return next time, I will definitely visit to apologize. I’ll take my leave first.

Di Jiu did not wait for Mo Louxue’s answer. He just extended his body before disappearing.
Mi Ji also apologized and hurriedly followed Di Jiu. Di Jiu wanted to ride the Teleportation Array but he needed to make sure that it could teleport him on time.
…
When Di Jiu left, Mo Louxue recovered from her displeased state. She then sighed and said,
Qingbing, let’s go.

They both stepped out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Master…
Ai Qingbing was somewhat upset. After all, she was a top beauty and had been ignored like this.
Mo Louxue shook her head.
You are probably not fated to be with him…

Mo Louxue stopped and looked at the jade box in her hands in surprise.

What’s wrong? Master?
Ai Qingbing asked hurriedly.
Mo Louxue opened the jade box and said in disbelief,
Di Jiu gave me a Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit. This…

The most precious item in the Immortal World was naturally the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit. However, Di Jiu had casually given one to someone like her, who was only an ordinary friend. What did he mean by this? If Di Jiu and Qingbing’s matter was settled, there was something else to be said.

Ah…
Ai Qingbing stared blankly at the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit in the jade box. Her heart thumped and she thought all of a sudden that perhaps Di Jiu had taken a liking to her Master.
She had taught Ai Qingbing on her own and raised her since she had been young. How could Mo Louxue not know what Ai Qingbing was thinking? She patted Ai Qingbing’s head.
What nonsense are you thinking about? I’m afraid Di Jiu will very soon leave this realm. If my guess is correct, he very likely gave one to Zhou Bujian too.


Why?
Ai Qingbing subconsciously asked.
Mo Louxue put away the jade box before sighing and saying,
Maybe only the two of us caught his eye in this Immortal Protectorate. Daoist Di is open-minded and he left in a hurry this time due to a really urgent matter. This should not be a trick. I think that if such a person was unwilling, he would say so in front of you and not use such a method.


Master, then…

Mo Louxue shook her head.
I won’t mention you to him anymore. Let the Heavenly Dao decide about this. If you two are fated, you will be together. Otherwise, I will forget about this matter. Sometimes, letting nature take its course is not necessarily bad.

…
Di Jiu once again returned to the Square Immortal Continent, which was certainly different from last time. At the moment, it had been restored to its original Immortal World. Besides the scarcity of people, it was filled with life-force everywhere.
The Starry Sky Immortal City was already the top immortal city in the entire Square Immortal Continent, and there was a huge statue of him outside the Starry Sky Immortal City. Di Jiu reckoned it had been built by the people of the Starry Sky Immortal City after his departure.
Di Jiu did not enter the immortal city. His Spiritual Force had already swept into the Starry Sky Immortal City and there was no one new coming in. Even if there were a few new people, they did not come from the True Dominion or the Five Continents. As for Nong Xiuqi, his sister Di Di, and Geng Ji, Di Jiu was certain that they had never come to the Starry Sky Immortal City. After all, he would have sensed their aura if they had come.
The place Geng Ji had mentioned was actually called the Square Immortal Continent, and Di Jiu guessed that it should be definitely somewhere within this area.
The Square Immortal Continent was so huge that if he wanted to find this place, he was afraid he could only search the entire Square Immortal Continent and then slowly compare it to the description.
Fortunately, his Five-Element escape technique and Spiritual Force escape technique were very strong now. His Starry Sky Spiritual Sea had also evolved, and his Spiritual Force was valiant. It might have been impossible for someone else to search the entire Square Immortal Continent, but not for Di Jiu.
At the thought of his Five-Element escape technique, Di Jiu suddenly thought of Jiang Dai. The Five-Element escape technique had been left behind by Jiang Dai. Would there be any tricks? This was no laughing matter. No matter what, after getting free, he had to check whether Jiang Dai had done anything to his Five-Element escape technique.
A person like Jiang Dai would definitely not leave a top-notch great divine power like the Five-Element escape technique and give it away to someone without a reason. Since he wanted to trick someone, why would he leave such an escape technique behind?
Because of the Spiritual Force escape technique, Di Jiu did not search for a place to specifically analyze the problems of the Five-Element escape technique. He did not need the Five-Element escape technique at all. With just his Spiritual Force escape technique, he could search the entire Square Immortal Continent in just three months.
Di Jiu was disappointed that he had entered the Sky Screen Pit once again within three months. He could see the entire Square Immortal Continent’s thriving life-force and numerous extremely rare and priceless treasures of Heaven and Earth.
The only thing that he did not find was any traces Geng Ji had left behind in the locale ball. This made Di Jiu feel somewhat frustrated. Since that fellow wanted to leave a crystal ball behind, why had he not left behind the position of the entrance?
Was it reasonable to say that Geng Ji was unlikely to be so careless or even forget how to enter the location of the crystal ball?
No, that was not right. Since that place was so well-hidden and the old Immortal Supremacy was enslaved, how had Geng Ji escaped and returned to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City?
Geng Ji was more powerful than anyone else given his thunder faculty attack. He was a mutated Thunder Spirit Root, and almost nobody could attain the thunder faculty gift…
The thunder faculty! Di Jiu once again thought of the Thunderous Floating Island.
He had gone in and out of the Thunderous Floating Island twice and he was very familiar with it. Thus, he had not gone there yet. Maybe this was really related to the Thunderous Floating Island. Di Jiu immediately headed to the Thunderous Floating Island with a flash of his figure.
