Chapter 892 - Sacred Lord

Chapter 892: Sacred Lord
Zuo Zhongren chuckled, lifted his hand, and created a restriction. Then, he said,
I only know that his surname is Ye. He possesses the strongest willpower I’ve ever seen. After the Creation War, any cultivators who came could enter the Creation Gate. In truth, almost everyone did enter, for the Creation Gate was where the Creation Dao runes resided. One could attain the Creation Realm only after entering the Creation Gate…

Zuo Zhongren subconsciously crouched, looked in the direction of the Mountain Gaze, and said in a low voice,
Do you know that that person did not enter? He was actually very powerful.


Di Jiu suddenly felt a cold chill run down his spine, so he immediately inquired,
Are you saying that this Ye guy is still alive and was not reincarnated by using the Creation Dao runes? Did he give up on attaining the Creation Realm and choose specifically to stay and overlord this area?

This theory sounded very unbelievable, but this seemed to be what Zuo Zhongren was implying.
Zuo Zhongren sighed and nodded his head.
That’s right. Think about it. That person had already attained the third step and was an Integration Realm expert. Who would dare to disrespect him if he stayed here? I did not have a choice in this matter, for I am akin to a dog in front of him. Why shouldn’t I seize the opportunity to fight for my freedom? If I failed, I would rather be reincarnated than continue to suffer.

Di Jiu’s impression of Zuo Zhongren was that he was very cunning. Unexpectedly, the latter was also a prideful man. This fact changed Di Jiu’s opinion of the man slightly.

Then hasn’t he attained the Creation Realm already?
Di Jiu was worried. After all, that man had originally been an expert, so it was possible for him to attain the Creation Realm if he relied on the Creation Aura in the Dao Abyss.
Zuo Zhongren shook his head.
No, for it is said that the Five-Element Universe does not allow any Creation Realm existences. One must leave the Five-Element Universe once they attain the Creation Realm. The year when the Creation Gate opened, all cultivators above the Dao Integration Realm, and even some Primordial Chaos cultivators, swarmed to enter the Creation Gate. In truth, even if the Dao Integration cultivators had not entered the gate, the Creation Dao runes would still have swept them in without fail.


Then why did that Ye guy…
Di Jiu immediately spotted the loophole in Zuo Zhongren’s explanation.
Zuo Zhongren’s voice turned despondent.
This is where the problem lies. When that Ye guy first appeared, we immediately knew that he was an expert with a flawless body. He had not been reincarnated from a remnant soul. More importantly, many people recognized him and were aware of how powerful and ruthless he was. He had entered the Creation Gate with the exception experts, yet when he came out, no one witnessed his death or saw him sustain any injuries.



Why would he appear here? He was completely uninjured, and no one could kill him.

Di Jiu could finally understand what was going on a little. He looked at Zuo Zhongren in shock and asked,
Daoist Zuo, are you saying that Sacred Lord Ye destroyed his own cultivation and purposely did not enter the Creation Gate to stay at the foot of the Mountain Gaze?

Zuo Zhongren nodded.
That’s the only possible explanation. Although he destroyed his own cultivation, he managed to preserve his Principal Spirit and Dao meridian perfectly. Then, he utilized the Creation Dao runes exuded from the Creation Gate after it closed to immediately restore his cultivation and raise it to greater heights.

Di Jiu breathed in sharply. If what Zuo Zhongren was saying was true, that Ye guy was truly frightening. This man should either be an expert or an extremely ambitious person.

That’s not quite right. If he is so formidable, why did he still choose not to deal with me now?
Di Jiu looked at Zuo Zhongren dubiously. There was something he did not say explicitly as well: Zuo Zhongren would not have dared to betray that man anyway.
Zuo Zhongren pointed in the direction of the Mountain Gaze and said in a low voice,
Rumor has it that he went to climb the mountain. The person in command now is a subordinate of his. Do you think that I would have dared to help you if that Ye guy was still here?

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu lifted his head and looked at the Mountain Gaze. He suddenly recalled the empty Dao rune lakes he had spotted while climbing the mountain.
Had these lakes been sucked dry by that Ye guy? If that was the case, it would be extremely dangerous for him to stay any longer.
That thought prompted Di Jiu to directly rip apart the Defense Array and destroy the restrictions binding Po Xu.

Brother Ah Jiu, this…
Po Xu had been mourning Di Jiu for a long time. There was no hope of Di Jiu surviving if he faced four third-step experts, even if Di Jiu attained the Dao Integration Realm.

In truth, when the Divine Essence explosions in the air had stopped, Po Xu had thought that Di Jiu had died. Contrary to his expectations, Di Jiu had reappeared and ripped apart Po Xu’s restrictions.
Everyone else on the square was dumbfounded as well. There was something wrong with this situation. They had all expected that Di Jiu would be killed and the four third-step experts would reappear on the square. Why was Di Jiu alive, and why was Zuo Zhongren standing beside him? Where had the other three third-step experts gone?
They quickly woke up from their stupor. Zuo Zhongren must have surrendered to Di Jiu, and Di Jiu must have killed the other three. Everyone was alarmed. Who exactly was Di Jiu, and how could he be so ridiculously powerful?
Di Jiu smiled.
I killed the other three men. Recuperate quickly and we will leave this place immediately. I predict that a great battle will take place here. There should be more than four third-step cultivators around, right?

Di Jiu turned and looked at Zuo Zhongren.
Zuo Zhongren chuckled.
Rest assured. No one else will come now that you’ve dealt with the four of us.

As Zuo Zhongren had said, the third-step cultivators there were no fools. After all, the Sacred Lord had not appeared, and Di Jiu alone had suppressed four third-step cultivators and killed three of them. No one would be foolish enough to take any action. This was something that would reap no benefits and involved the risk of death.

In that case, we will leave now.
Di Jiu came to the realization that no one would fight him since the Sacred Lord had not appeared. In that case, he intended to leave immediately. He would come back to settle everything with Sacred Lord Ye when he attained the perfected Dao Integration Realm or the third step in the future.
Zuo Zhongren waved his hand.
Daoist Di, we can’t leave yet, for we need to find someone first.


Who?
Di Jiu looked at him, unable to understand why they had to do so.
Zuo Zhongren pointed at a narrow path.
No one knows what that fella is called, but his nickname is Mercury. They call him Mercury because he is impermeable.

This showed Di Jiu that Zuo Zhongren did not quite trust him.
Zuo Zhongren knew what Di Jiu was thinking, so he smiled and explained,
It’s not that I don’t trust you, but it might take us many years to find the way out by ourselves. It will only take us at most three days to leave the Dao Abyss if we work with Mercury. Mercury replied to me and said that we should wait half a day more. He can leave after taking care of everything.


Alright, I’ll wait half a day more.
Upon saying that, Di Jiu created a restriction and called Chu Manhe out. Then, he handed a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus to her.

You really obtained a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus?
Chu Manhe stuttered a little as she hugged the lotus excitedly.
Di Jiu nodded.
Try your best to recuperate. We will be leaving this place in half a day.

Upon saying that, Di Jiu created another restriction and took out Ye Yimo’s thunder pearl. Then, he put a lotus inside as well.
He believed that Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe would need at most four hours to recover. Then, Mercury would arrive and everyone would be able to leave the Dao Abyss together.
