Chapter 605: The Nirvana Black Metal Stone

Di Jiu did not move. He had been paying attention to the man in yellow for a long time. He had late-stage Dao Birth strength and should be the strongest person there. In that case, he was most likely the fellow who had suggested a compet.i.tion in the Body-Tempering Lake.
A cultivator who could suggest a compet.i.tion in the Body-Tempering Lake might be the person who had nailed his lightning bird.
“You’re the one who nailed my lightning bird?” Di Jiu asked. The strong aura that had swept over him was like a breeze. It did not even lift a corner of his clothing.
‘That’s right. I nailed it. What can you do to me?” After the cultivator in yellow was done talking, a long saber swept up a saber flare and struck Di Jiu.
At the same time, the s.p.a.ce had completely been turned into his territory. The frantic saber flares were like waves in the frantic ocean, while Di Jiu was like a lonely boat amid these ocean waves.
Yu Qianxi sighed. She was certain that Di Jiu was a peak Dao Modeling expert, but his strength was still too far away from Piao Hui’s. Piao Hui was at the late-stage Dao Birth and was more powerful than the typical late-stage Dao Birth cultivator.
“When you go to the gates of h.e.l.l, don’t forget that Piao Hui of the Black Smoke Weapon Sect killed you…”
Before Piao Hui could finish talking, Di Jiu, who had been trapped in his spatial domain, suddenly moved. Piao Hui’s spatial domain was like paper mache. When Di Jiu stepped out, it was completely torn apart.
Piao Hui looked at Di Jiu, who was moving normally, in horror. He felt that he had not seen Di Jiu’s true cultivation level clearly. Before he could change his style, Di Jiu’s saber flare had landed on him.
They both used a saber as their Dharma treasure. When Piao Hui felt Di Jiu’s saber flare land, it seemed as if it had spirituality. This was the s.p.a.ce he had extended, and with this saber move, he felt that the only unnecessary person in this s.p.a.ce was him.
Piao Hui no longer cared about injuring Di Jiu. He frantically ignited his Blood Essence and escaped from the side at a great speed.
When the saber flare slashed past his body, Piao Hui heaved a faint sigh of relief. He was now absolutely sure that he was no match for Di Jiu. No matter how good the Body-Tempering Lake was, he had to escape first.
Unfortunately, before Piao Hui could escape to the side of the black jade door, Di Jiu’s Jumbo Footprint blocked his way and trampled on him.
Although he had seen Di Jiu’s Jumbo Footprint approaching clearly, Piao Hui had no way of avoiding it. So far, Piao Hui had known where he was standing with Di Jiu. He was not even on the same level as him.
Bam! The footprint trampled on Piao Hui’s chest, sending him flying from one side of the lake to the other.
Then, the saber flare landed along with him. He watched in horror the saber flare that bound his surrounding s.p.a.ce and shouted in fright, “I’m the Black Smoke Weapon Sect’s disciple! Stop…”
Pfft! The saber flare ripped the s.p.a.ce between Piao Hui’s eyebrows. When he fell, the nail that he had used to nail the lightning bird had been nailed between his eyebrows, pinning him to the ground.
Piao Hui’s Princ.i.p.al Spirit overflowed and a thunder spark landed on his Princ.i.p.al Spirit. Di Jiu then said, “Unfortunately, you won’t have a chance to go to the gate of h.e.l.l.”
His Princ.i.p.al Spirit exploded and turned into specks of glimmer before vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace.
However, Di Jiu was disappointed. He had especially let Piao Hui make the first move because he wanted to test and compare his strength with a late-stage Dao Birth cultivator. Unfortunately, Piao Hui was too poor. He had not even used a small part of his strength, yet Piao Hui had been killed.
If this went on, perhaps after he reached the Dao Transformation, he would no longer need to fear the second-step cultivators.
He was so powerful…
The cultivators in the entire lake stared at Di Jiu in fear. Di Jiu was simply too formidable. Even a Dao Transformation expert could not deal with Piao Hui as easily as Di Jiu, right?
Upon seeing Di Jiu kill Piao Hui, the lightning bird screeched, looking clearly very excited.
Di Jiu’s gaze once again landed on the lake. At that moment, none of the cultivators on the lake dared to look at him.
“Lightning, go cultivate in the lake,” Di Jiu told the lightning bird without hesitation. This bird would now be called Lightning.
Lightning, who seemed to understand Di Jiu’s words, flew toward the lake. It then formed a lake swirling whirlpool around itself.
Another bird also entered the Body-Tempering Lake to cultivate, but n.o.body dared to say anything. They even got out of the way.
Di Jiu, who did not care about these cultivators, immediately walked to the side of that black jade door before he drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber and struck with his saber screen. In just a short time, Di Jiu had hacked apart and put away the two black jade doors.
“I got it. This is the Nirvana Black Metal Stone.” When a cultivator saw Di Jiu put away the two stone doors, he subconsciously shouted in shock before he felt that he should not have done so and hurriedly went quiet.
When everyone heard that, a few cultivators nearly stood up to s.n.a.t.c.h the stone door that Di Jiu had put away. Fortunately, they immediately recalled who Di Jiu was. Since a Dao Birth cultivator could not persist for more than three saber moves against Di Jiu, wouldn’t they have a death wish if they tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the Nirvana Black Metal Stone?
Many cultivators almost wanted to beat their chests in regret. There had been a chance before them, but they had missed it.
What was the Nirvana Black Metal Stone? It was the most top-notch blacksmithing material in the Dao World. If one cultivated on the Nirvana Black Metal Stone, it could also purify their meridians and expand their Spiritual Sea. They had allowed such a treasure to slip by and get taken away by someone who had come afterward. Who wouldn’t find this a pity?
Di Jiu was also very excited. When he had entered this large door just now, he had not recognized the Nirvana Black Metal Stone. However, when Piao Hui had escaped, he had once again approached the black jade door and recognized it. It was actually the Nirvana Black Metal Stone!
The Nirvana Black Metal Stone might be a top-notch blacksmithing material to the other cultivators that could even expand their Spiritual Sea, but it had only one use for Di Jiu. He could integrate it with his Heavenly Aqua Saber and improve its grade.
The Heavenly Aqua Saber could indeed absorb the essence and killing aura of Heaven and Earth before automatically advancing. However, after reaching the Dao World, if it was not integrated into any other materials, advancing it would be an extremely long process.
Nothing could surpa.s.s the Nirvana Black Metal Stone as the best material to integrate into the Heavenly Aqua Saber. Di Jiu had never thought of searching for the Nirvana Black Metal Stone. How could such a precious item be waiting for him to search for it? He had not expected that he would obtain it today without much effort. He could only say that the Book of the World had allowed him to take advantage of it.
COMMENT
Yu Qianxi was also looking at Di Jiu in admiration. She had not expected him to be so formidable and have such sharp eyesight. Even though so many people had not recognized the Nirvana Black Metal Stone, Di Jiu had managed to do so upon coming. Mo Yejiu had not deceived them all after all. Di Jiu was indeed the top genius of the First Evolution Dao Sect. However, the only inconsistency was that Di Jiu was clearly not at the Dao Modeling Realm. If she had guessed correctly, he was already a Dao Birth cultivator.
After putting away the Nirvana Black Metal Stone, Di Jiu stepped into the Body-Tempering Lake without the slightest hesitation.
He now had a perfected Divine Body and was only a step away from advancing to the next step. In just a short time, his physical body did not seem to develop.
He wondered what effect the Colossal Kun Sacred Dao Sect’s Body-Tempering Lake had.
Once he stepped into the Body-Tempering Lake, Di Jiu felt like his body was getting p.r.i.c.ked by steel needles and unbearable pain spread all over him.
He circulated the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art. The needle-like pain instantly vanished and immediately turned into subtle spirit currents. These spirit currents started moistening Di Jiu’s physical body, muscles, and bones.
Di Jiu was both surprised and happy. He had not expected that the Body-Tempering Lake would give him such a surprise. It was evident that the Body-Tempering Lake was no place for a cultivator to advance his physical body but could let one achieve more by body-tempering in the future. A major sect was as grand as expected, as this could completely change a cultivator’s body-tempering foundation. Di Jiu was now certain that those who could enter this lake definitely had body-tempering cultivation techniques. Otherwise, they would have a death wish if they stepped into the lake.
COMMENT
Since Di Jiu now had a perfected Divine Body, he approached the deeper part of the lake without hesitation.
The other cultivators looked at Di Jiu in shock. Although they were also body-tempering here, a cultivator who could be three feet away from the edge of the lake was already a distinguished individual among them.
Now, Di Jiu was one foot away from the edge of the lake and he kept walking toward the middle of the lake. How valiant was his physical body?
