Chapter 554: Mu Jie’s Dao Modeling
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Thank you, thank you…” Mu Jie was somewhat incoherent. This was the first time she was seeing a straightforward and upright cultivator like Di Jiu. If this were her, she probably could not have borne to take out the Two-Realm Flowers to give them to a cultivator she was not very close with.
Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “I have implicated you this time. Since I have the Two-Realm Flowers, I will bring back your burned physical body. Otherwise, I will only feel guilty.”
Mu Jie once again thanked Di Jiu and said, “Thanks to the Two-Realm Flowers, this is a blessing in disguise. However, I cannot use them now. Once I use them to restore myself, I will certainly condense the Dao Seed and succeed in the Dao Modeling.”
Her Dao Modeling would almost be an absolute success with the Two-Realm Flowers. This was not the first time Mu Jie had heard of this.
She did not have to continue for Di Jiu to understand. Once she succeeded in her Dao Modeling, she would definitely be discovered.
Di Jiu chucked. “You can move ahead with your Dao Modeling. I will certainly ensure n.o.body here will find out you have succeeded.”
As long as Ni Xiren did not barge into this territory by force, thanks to his nomological arrays, he could isolate the aura of the Dao Modeling. No matter how tyrannic or ruthless Ni Xiren was, he would not barge into the cave abode of a low-level cultivator guarding the Wormhole. After all, this would cause him to lose his status.
Besides, to Ni Xiren, Di Jiu was only a n.o.body who had taken his Ascension Dao Pill.
“Daoist Di, once I succeed in my Dao Modeling, I will definitely help you think of a way to remove the Ascension Dao Pill in your body…” Mu Jie said sincerely.
Di Jiu was unaware of how terrifying the Ascension Dao Pill was, but she was very aware of it. There would be no hope after taking it, and the cultivator would turn into an elixir pill two years later.
This elixir pill would absorb all of the cultivator’s Blood Essence and Dao force, as well as his important memories. He would eventually end up in the hands of the cultivator who had taken out that elixir pill.
The reason Di Jiu had been forced to swallow the Ascension Dao Pill by Ni Xiren was that he had obtained an array disc that should not belong to him. Otherwise, Di Jiu would have ended up like her and would have been killed by a wind blade.
Di Jiu laughed a little. “You don’t have to worry about me. Go ahead with your Dao Modeling.”
Di Jiu did not care about the Ascension Dao Pill that he had taken, which could not dissolve due to his nomological restrictions. Even if it did, he could easily remove it with his Nomological Qi Circulation.
…
Regardless of whether Ni Xiren had a way to enter the Wormhole, Di Jiu was sure that Ni Xiren would have no way of finding Ni Luan. After all, Di Jiu had already killed him. The last trace of Ni Luan’s soul was also in his hands, and he did not intend to destroy it now. Eventually, one day, he would find the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce.
After a month, Di Jiu did not receive any news. Thus, he knew that Ni Xiren had certainly left the Wormhole District.
The Two-Realm Flower was evidently a top-notch treasure. Mu Jie had only spent half a month to completely restore her physical body and merge it with her Princ.i.p.al Spirit.
This was because Di Jiu had not completely destroyed her physical body and had even brought back part of it.
As Mu Jie had almost expected, when her physical body was restored, her Dao Seed started to condense. Another month pa.s.sed and Mu Jie’s surroundings were engulfed by distinct traces of Dao patterns. Also, a Dao aura that surpa.s.sed an Immortal Emperor’s aura revolved around her.
Di Jiu knew that Mu Jie was about to model her Dao. Once she did, she would definitely be an expert in this place.
Di Jiu did not use his Spiritual Force to study Mu Jie’s Dao Modeling. He had his own Dao so he did not plan on making use of someone else’s Dao traces at all. He only used his Nomological Arrays to cover up all her Dao Modeling auras. Di Jiu’s cultivation level was only at the perfected Immortal Emperor, and he had not condensed his Dao Seed yet. However, his Array Dao had surpa.s.sed a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor and his Nomological Arrays could very easily cover up all her Dao Modeling auras.
While Mu Jie was undergoing her Dao Modeling, Di Jiu did not disturb her. He only a.n.a.lyzed the Five-Element escape technique aside.
This Five-Element escape technique belonged to Jiang Dai. However, even after a.n.a.lyzing it for so many years, Di Jiu could not make out where the problem lay.
Nearly another month had pa.s.sed before an excited distinct whistle was heard. Di Jiu knew that Mu Jie had truly succeeded in her Dao Modeling. When he opened the restriction, he saw Mu Jie walk out.
Compared to a few months ago, Mu Jie’s entire body had a grand circulation of Dao runes and a strong self-confidence.
Di Jiu cupped his fists. “Congratulations, Daoist Mu, for successfully modeling your Dao.”
Mu Jie responded excitedly, “Daoist Di, without you, I would have died because of my destroyed Dao long ago. How would I have gotten the chance for a Dao Modeling? I definitely have to help you remove your Ascension Dao Pill.”
Di Jiu laughed. “Thank you, Daoist Mu. I really don’t care about a mere Ascension Dao Pill. Not too long ago, I received a message to guard the Wormhole and I am prepared to do so. You cannot be seen by anyone now, so just stay here to cultivate.”
When Mu Jie thought of Di Jiu taking out the Two-Realm Flowers and making it out of the Wormhole, she was certain he was no ordinary person. In that case, perhaps he was really unafraid of the Ascension Dao Pill. She also cupped her fists. “Alright, Brother Di. If you have any errands from now on, tell me and I, Mu Jie, will not decline even if I die miserably.”
A treasure like the Two-Realm Flower was definitely a top-notch important treasure to Di Jiu, yet he had taken it out so that she could model her body and Dao without hesitation. She was not that sort of supercilious cultivator. After receiving such a favor, she would certainly repay him with her life.
Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Daoist Mu, I still have something to ask you. My cultivation partner is called Nong Xiuqi and she ascended a step earlier than me. I was wondering if you had heard of her before?”
Nong Xiuqi? The name circled in Mu Jie’s head for a while. All of a sudden, she understood why Di Jiu had killed Ni Luan. Heng Shuangqi had been kicked into the Wormhole by Ni Luan.
Heng Shuangqi had then been saved by Di Jiu later on. She believed he had certainly thought that Ni Luan had killed Nong Xiuqi. Therefore, he had killed Ni Luan. If that was true, then Ni Luan had deserved it.
“I’ve never heard of the name Nong Xiuqi. If she ascended in the last 100 or 200 years, I suspect that she did not appear in the Wormhole Defense District…”
Di Jiu immediately interrupted her and asked in shock, “Daoist Mu, don’t tell me that there are many other Wormholes?”
Mu Jie nodded her head. “That’s right. There are too many Ascension Lakes in the Dao World. Of course, not every Ascension Lake has a Wormhole. However, many of the Ascension Lakes have the duty to guard the Wormholes.”
Di Jiu’s heart sank. It looked like if he wanted to find information about Nong Xiuqi, he would have to go to the Dao World first and improve his strength before asking people one by one again.
“Thank you. I’m going to guard the Wormhole. Cultivate well.” Di Jiu was not in the mood to carry on talking.
Mu Jie said, “Brother Di, I’ve heard that the Murderous Dao Lake is not ideal for residing. Once you’ve resided there for a long time, your Dao foundation will dissipate and you will end up dying with your Dao destroyed…”
She’d had her doubts about this for a very long time. Not only had she restored her physical body in a forbidden area like the Murderous Dao Lake, but she had also succeeded in her Dao Modeling. This was a strange place, but Mu Jie knew very well that the rumors about the Murderous Dao Lake were true.
Di Jiu said without caring, “It doesn’t matter whether you reside or cultivate here. Trust me.”
Di Jiu then turned and left the cave abode. He once again locked the cave abode with nomological restrictions. It was only a forbidden area here for other cultivators. Besides, Di Jiu had set up Defense Arrays and Confinement Killing Arrays. As long as Mu Jie did not come out first, there would be no problem under normal circ.u.mstances.
When Di Jiu opened the cave abode and came out, Zhuo Wujia was already waiting outside.
Upon seeing Di Jiu, Zhuo Wujia immediately said, “There’s a rumor going around outside that you…”
Di Jiu gestured with his hands and replied without caring, “Brother Zhuo, we’ll just live our own lives. No matter what other people say outside, we won’t be affected.”
Zhuo Wujia nodded his head. Even though he had not interacted with Di Jiu in a long time and they did not even understand each other’s past when they were together, he believed that Di Jiu was not someone who would get down on his knees to beg for his life.
“Alright, let’s go. I heard that Leader Shen is leading this time.” Zhuo Wujia did not ask anything else.
When Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia arrived at the a.s.sembly point, the cultivators who would be guarding the Wormhole had basically arrived. Leader Shen, who would lead the team, shot a cold glance at Di Jiu and said faintly, “Since all of you are present, everyone will set off.”
