Fang Feilou’s smile froze. Di Jiu’s saber move was clearly in his domain, but he actually failed to stop it.
Crack! The Heavenly Aqua Saber made a crack on Fang Feilou’s domain. Its Saber Qi tore through the opening and headed towards Fang Feilou. He immediately shifted his body sideways, but the saber aura still managed to tear a piece of his clothing off.
That was only because his cultivation level was way out of Di Jiu’s league, whose domain wasn’t capable of affecting his own. Otherwise, that saber move would have severely injured him.

Great, great…
Fang Feilou was pleasantly surprised.
You have grasped the edge of space law, even though you aren’t even an Immortal King. Manager Di, you’ve brought me another surprise.

Di Jiu was also pleasantly surprised. He had incorporated the tiny bit of space law that he had comprehended from the Jumbo Footprint into his saber move and actually managed to tear off a piece of a late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert’s clothing.
Although Fang Feilou wasn’t taking him seriously, this meant that he could hurt him once he became an Immortal King.
That saber move wasn’t just an attempt to transfer the insight that he had gained into space law through the Jumbo Footprint. It was also an attempt to hold Fang Feilou up.
He was certain that Fang Feilou hadn’t spent so much time waiting for him just to kill him. In that case, he could hold him up.
Just as he had planned, after the first saber move, Di Jiu sensed that Zhong Ao was here. He was satisfied, as this meant if he executed the Spiritual Force escape technique to the extreme, Zhong Ao wouldn’t be able to catch up to him unless he obtained his actual body.

This bastard is here to rob me, so I am going to teach him a lesson today.
Di Jiu took another step and swung his saber once again as he said that.
He was talking to Zhong Ao instead of Fang Feilou, and he was sure that Zhong Ao knew what he meant.
Fang Feilou felt a little speechless when Di Jiu attacked him again. He finally understood why Di Jiu had dared to offend so many Immortal Emperors in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. As it turned out, he was a stupid man.
As he watched Di Jiu’s saber slashing at him, Fang Feilou decided to teach Di Jiu a lesson that he would never forget — he was going to break one of Di Jiu’s arms.
However, as soon as his hand moved, he felt an intense killing intent lock onto him. The killing intent contained a deathly aura, so he would definitely die if he dared to make a single move.
Fang Feilou broke into a cold sweat. As an expert at the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, he didn’t doubt his senses. Someone who was much stronger than him was currently locking onto him with his killing aura.
Pfft! A trail of blood splattered as Di Jiu cut Fang Feilou’s arm off and it landed in his domain.
Di Jiu laughed and walked towards Fang Feilou before tapping his face with the Heavenly Aqua Saber and saying,
Guild Master Fang, should I kill you? What do you think?

Fang Feilou was a little pale. He could already see Zhong Ao walking across the void. His heart cramped up each time Zhong Ao took a step.

Manager Di, this is all my fault. I was blind to offend you.
Fang Feilou didn’t even dare to move a muscle. Zhong Ao’s killing intent domain was much more powerful than his. He would be killed if he dared to move.

He he… A verbal apology is useless. Since you just said that I have given you another huge surprise, it’s now my turn to see how big of a surprise you can deliver.
Di Jiu shot Fang Feilou a condescending look.
Fang Feilou was overjoyed when he heard that, as it meant that Di Jiu wasn’t going to kill him.
Di Jiu obviously didn’t intend to kill Fang Feilou. After all, that wouldn’t benefit him at all. Furthermore, as long as Zhong Ao followed him around in the future, other people would know that it was Zhong Ao who had killed Fang Feilou. There were too many people like Fang Feilou in the universe, and he couldn’t possibly kill them all.
Since he couldn’t kill them all, he was going to focus on tangible benefits instead.

Brother Di, don’t hold back. You can ask for anything as long as I can provide it. By the way, you can take a look at the things that I have with me right now first.
As Fang Feilou said that, he actually tossed his ring towards Di Jiu without any hesitation.
Di Jiu grabbed the ring and opened it easily with his Spiritual Force. It contained several hundred million high-grade immortal crystals. Moreover, Di Jiu was delighted to find a high-grade thunder element immortal spirit meridian. That was definitely a treasure.
It was a pity that the ring contained limited alchemy and blacksmithing materials.
Di Jiu kept the ring without any hesitation and replied flatly,
I need some level-eight and level-nine immortal spiritual herbs. Of course, I lack top-notch blacksmithing materials as well.

Fang Feilou responded quickly,
That’s not an issue. I can guarantee that I will procure at least 500 level-eight immortal spiritual herbs for you. Level-nine ones are too valuable, but it shouldn’t be a problem to obtain 50 or 60 of them. I will do my best to help you gather blacksmithing materials too.


That’s fantastic. In that case, you can write me a loan note. By the way, I’ll need a lot of immortal spiritual herbs and blacksmithing materials in the future. Remember to give me a discount when I visit the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce next time. If you don’t give me a discount, I’ll have no choice but to remove a part of your body.
Di Jiu wasn’t going to be considerate. It was obvious that Fang Feilou wanted to capture him and profit off his secrets. He was kind enough to spare Fang Feilou’s life only because of these items.

Yes.
Fang Feilou didn’t dare object to his demands. He immediately recorded a video that would serve as a loan note onto a jade slip and took out a golden jade card while saying,
This is an identification card for the most valuable VIPs of the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce. You can enjoy the best deals at any of our commercial buildings with this golden jade card.


Seems like you know your place. Screw off. Don’t piss me off in the future,
Di Jiu said with a sneer.

Yes.
Fang Feilou immediately grabbed his severed arm and cupped his fists in front of Zhong Ao before running away as fast as he could.

Your standards are too low. You let him off just for a few things.
Zhong Ao shook his head as he commented.
Di Jiu chuckled and then replied,
You don’t get it. I am playing the long game.

He could purchase cultivating resources at low prices by sparing Fang Feilou’s life. If he had killed him instead, the Vitrail Chamber of Commerce would have just appointed another Immortal Emperor as Guild Master. He couldn’t possibly bring Zhong Ao along to rob them.
It was normal that Zhong Ao wouldn’t care about the compensation that Fang Feilou had offered. Di Jiu suspected that he came from a higher plane. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have been so strong.
Di Jiu took out the Ultimate Cloud Auger and told Zhong Ao,
Xiao Da, I need you to control the Ultimate Cloud Auger for me and head to this place. I need to cultivate in seclusion for a while.

Di Jiu tossed a jade slip to Zhong Ao that showed the last spot of the temporary Teleportation Array that he’d set up after escaping from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
Zhong Ao nodded and took control of the Ultimate Cloud Auger without saying anything. He couldn’t cultivate at such a place. Furthermore, he wouldn’t cultivate even if he could because he would find better treasures and create another body if he couldn’t retrieve his own body. Therefore, he naturally wouldn’t cultivate in his current body, which he had created as a temporary solution.
Di Jiu started refining the Glazed Heaven Immortal Pill as soon as he entered the Ultimate Cloud Auger. He was already a grade-seven Alchemy King, so he managed to refine six special-class Glazed Heaven Immortal Pills on his second try.
He continued and refined about seven to eight cauldrons of Glazed Heaven Immortal Pill and several cauldrons of healing elixirs. When Di Jiu was about to extract the Grayish-Purple Lattice by using the time law that he had grasped, he heard Zhong Ao saying that they had arrived.

Xiao Da, how did we get here so quickly?
Di Jiu was surprised as he walked out onto the deck of the Ultimate Cloud Auger.
It had been barely a couple of days. Di Jiu thought that it would take several months at the very least, or even up to half a year, to get from the Lunar Forsaken Tomb to the Teleportation Array he had set up.

We’re really here.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force quickly located his Teleportation Array.

I randomly carved a few Dharma Arrays to speed the Ultimate Cloud Auger up. Otherwise, it would have been too slow.

Di Jiu looked at the propulsion array engraving on the Ultimate Cloud Auger and realized that it was indeed new. However, there were cracks all over the Ultimate Cloud Auger.

Xiao Da, is my Ultimate Cloud Auger broken?
Di Jiu’s face was a little dark. He had spent a big sum of money on it, yet now it was broken after just a single flight.

He he… The materials used to craft this Ultimate Cloud Auger were too atrocious. It would probably last for a couple more days.
Zhong Ao laughed as he replied, completely unbothered by the fact that Di Jiu’s supreme-grade flying immortal weapon had gone to waste.
Di Jiu didn’t bother arguing with Zhong Ao. The Ultimate Cloud Auger was a supreme-grade immortal weapon to him, yet Zhong Ao probably considered it a piece of crap.
He got out of the Ultimate Cloud Auger and landed on the foundation of a hidden Void Teleportation Array. He had even left a concealed Image-Capturing Array behind when he had gone past this place back then. He had been in a hurry to look for the Time Crystal last time, so he hadn’t come back. He came here this time specifically because he wanted to know if anyone had managed to catch up to him all the way to this place.
Although many years had passed, the Image-Capturing Array was still around. Di Jiu easily transferred the array engraving into a crystal ball.
A man wearing a tall crown appeared in the crystal ball. Di Jiu, who was surprised that someone had actually managed to follow him to the last Teleportation Array, was wondering who this man was.

This Image-Capturing Array is pretty good. The person who created it isn’t half-bad.


I am going to find a place to undergo Tribulation Transcendence and break through to the Immortal King Realm. I want you to protect me.
No matter who the man with the tall crown was, Di Jiu knew that too many experts would be coming after him. To make things worse, he was still a weakling at the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
