Chapter 920 - The Heavenly Witch River’s Bank Bursts

Chapter 920: The Heavenly Witch River’s Bank Bursts
Di Jiu didn’t ask anything else. He instead started to gain insight into the Heaven Earth Law there. Based on Cao Xi’s guess, Du Bu would come to take away the Escapee at any time. He had to take away the escaped Primordial Dao Law before Du Bu came.
When Cao Xi saw Di Jiu start to gain insight into the Heaven Earth Law, she sighed and didn’t utter a word. She had vaguely guessed where Du Bu was and even had a feeling that Du Bu could appear in the Heavenly Witch Realm at any time.

Compared to Di Jiu, Du Bu was way more superior. In other words, if she and Di Jiu hadn’t accidentally come to this place, regardless of Di Jiu’s opportunity, the law would still have been refined by Du Bu in the future…
At this thought, Cao Xi felt slightly dazed. Wasn’t being able to come here an opportunity? When Du Bu had obtained eight Primordial Dao Laws, it had been an opportunity as well.
…
A clamor was heard in the distance. Di Jiu opened his eyes as Cao Xi said softly,
Di Jiu, your consciousness can connect with the language laws here, right? Try connecting with my consciousness and making me understand the language laws here. Although I can guess some words, I’m still not very sure.

Without hesitation, Di Jiu’s consciousness connected to Cao Xi’s consciousness. After a night of gaining insight, he understood more Foundation Orders of the Heavenly Witch Realm. Several days later, he was about to form his own Spiritual Force. As long as his Spiritual Force was formed, his cultivation level would be rapidly restored.
When Di Jiu’s consciousness was connected to Cao Xi’s consciousness, he realized how impulsive he had been.
When Cao Xi appeared in his consciousness, he would see the half-moon imprint on her belly. While he was embarrassed, he was shocked by her perfect body. Even though Cao Xi had said that there were no perfect things in the world, wasn’t her body considered perfect?
Cao Xi blushed and realized that she had been impulsive. Connecting through the consciousness and Spiritual Force were completely different things. Since she had lost her cultivation level, everything would appear in her consciousness.

Fortunately, Di Jiu very soon understood and sent his premonition and law understanding over before he withdrew his consciousness.

Thank you.
Cao Xi sighed deep down and thanked Di Jiu. This was the first time that a member of the opposite gender had seen every part of her.
Di Jiu gestured with his hand.
Senior Sister Cao, since we’re in the same boat, we naturally have to help each other.

Cao Xi said firmly,
Di Jiu, from a certain perspective, we’re not in the same boat. This is a test to make us toughen up. Compared to Du Bu, you still haven’t toughened up enough yet. You’re even lacking compared to me.

Di Jiu nodded. Before he spoke, a bellow was heard in the distance. Then, a whip landed down.
Countless captives were chased out of the basin.
Di Jiu and Cao Xi followed the captives as he said in confusion,
Are we going to construct the Heavenly Witch River without eating breakfast?

Very soon, his guess became a reality. Under the surveillance of the Great Wing Tribe’s soldiers, all the captives started digging into the soil and carrying stones…
Both Di Jiu and Cao Xi couldn’t see where the Heavenly Witch River was, so they could only follow the others. When the others dug the soil or carried stones, they followed.
Even though every person there was very strong, the mission of these slaves was too hard under the surveillance of the Great Wing Tribe. People were constantly pressed down onto their stomachs before they were crushed to death. People were also constantly falling from exhaustion and getting thrown into the soil pit before being buried.

The captives that were driven away and the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe found this very normal. Nobody stepped forward to object.
Since they hadn’t eaten for a day, more and more captives died, except for Di Jiu and Cao Xi. Di Jiu knew that he couldn’t bother much. He could only do what the others did while guessing the approximate location of the Heavenly Witch River.
Perhaps because the captives were desperate after being exhausted for a day and drinking the bowl of black paste, they started to look for women.
Some strong captives pushed some women onto the ground and wildly tormented them. There were currently no laws or morality. There was only despair. Unprotected women would become prey at the moment. A few strong men had targeted Cao Xi. However, after being sent flying by Di Jiu’s fist move, they didn’t dare come over anymore.
During the next few days, Di Jiu constantly saw captives dying. He was even numb himself. The only thing he was glad about was that he could derive his first Spiritual Force in just a few days at most.
Di Jiu was still with Cao Xi. Along with the other captives, they moved the big stones and dug out soil. All of a sudden, there were explosions up ahead. Then, he heard a mournful scream.
When Di Jiu looked up, he was stunned. A huge torrent of waves seemed to have toppled over from the sky before it rushed out, sweeping countless captives away.

The Heavenly Witch River’s bank is bursting…
Di Jiu finally heard shouts and cries. At that moment, the captives and the soldiers of the Heavenly Witch River who were detaining them could not resist it. They were swept away by this torrent before disappearing.
Di Jiu hadn’t expected that even though he couldn’t see the Heavenly Witch River, he would be able to see its water.

As expected, it’s the Escapee. It really is…
As Cao Xi looked at the torrent crashing down, she mumbled but had no intention of avoiding it.

Di Jiu could avoid it. He pulled Cao Xi and rushed to the high ground on the side with everyone else who was avoiding the torrent.
No matter what, Di Jiu was a cultivator with a body that surpassed a Sacred Body. Although he had lost his cultivation level, his speed was unrivaled. When the torrent waves swept over the place where he had been standing, he led Cao Xi to higher ground.
The blustering big waves swept under his feet and countless people were swept away. The people moving the stones had vanished without a trace long ago.
Cao Xi was speechless. Countless innocent people had vanished before her eyes, but she couldn’t be of help. The only thing she could do was watch.
Di Jiu closed his eyes and gained insight into the nomological aura of the river water. He felt happy that the laws in this river water were completely different from the water-element laws that he had gained insight into in the Five-Element Universe.
After some time, when he opened his eyes, he saw the river water of the Heavenly Witch River disappear.
A tall chief of the Great Wing Tribe stood on a huge piece of stone and said as he held his head high,
The Heavenly Witch River is furious because we are not sincere enough. This is our fault. We shouldn’t have forgotten to offer a blood sacrifice to the Heavenly Witch River…

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu frowned. He felt that this guy was going to do something that would infuriate Heaven and the people.
As an expert with a higher cultivation level than Di Jiu, Cao Xi had naturally felt that as well. She sighed and turned to look at him before saying,
Di Jiu, if you refine the Heavenly Witch River someday, remember that you have to set up a complete Heaven Earth Law for the Heavenly Witch Realm. Otherwise, the Heavenly Witch Realm will completely disappear from the universe.

When she saw him looking at her in confusion, Cao Xi explained,
The people of the Heavenly Witch Realm are still alive because of the Heavenly Witch River. The people here lead hard lives because of the Heavenly Witch River as well. There should be no water in the Heavenly Witch Realm except for the Heavenly Witch River. Therefore, the water they need to survive comes from the Heavenly Witch River. Likewise, the Heavenly Witch River wants their lives.

Di Jiu subconsciously looked at the sky and wondered if there was any rain.
Cao Xi understood what he was implying and carried on.
There can’t be any rain here. You can’t even see the color green. Because of the Heavenly Witch River, they lead hard lives and then they die.

The tall chief of the Great Wing Tribe then said,
If you are with friends or family, one of you has to step out and voluntarily become a blood sacrifice for the Heavenly Witch River. If you are alone, you have to step forward to become a blood sacrifice for the Heavenly Witch River…

The survivors were immediately alarmed, and an uproar was inevitable. A few of them wanted to escape but were immediately killed by stone arrows.
Di Jiu looked at Cao Xi and said,
Between the two of us, I’ll become the blood sacrifice.

Cao Xi shook her head.
No, I’ll go. Don’t think that you could still live after being a blood sacrifice. Even if you reach the third step now, you will die without a doubt if you become a blood sacrifice for the Heavenly Witch River, let alone if you have lost your cultivation level.
