When he entered the void whirlpool, Di Jiu planned to be trapped in this place for thousands of years or even longer.
What he hadn’t expected was that once he went in, he would immediately sense an intense pulling force. Then, he was thrown out as if he had lost control.
Di Jiu wanted to enter the Ninth World right away, but he then found out that he couldn’t do so and his Spiritual Force couldn’t extend. This was not the first time he had experienced such a thing, so he was very calm. Given the strength of his physical body, there were very few void forces that could tear him.
Bam! In just a short time, Di Jiu was thrown to the ground, creating a deep pit on the hard surface.
This was actually similar to a natural Teleportation Array. However, he knew that it was not one. This was more likely a plane rift. A plane rift formed by the void whirlpool was completely different from the void whirlpool he had seen before.
Very soon, he realized that what he had been most worried about had happened. He had never seen this kind of Heaven Earth Law in this place. It was also completely different from the Heaven Earth Law in the universe that he was accustomed to.
In this place, his Divine Essence and Spiritual Force were restrained and couldn’t budge at all. He also couldn’t connect with his Spiritual Sea and the Ninth World.
He was only alarmed for a short time before he calmed down. He was different from other cultivators. Once other cultivators encountered such a situation, they would only resign themselves to their fate and probably wouldn’t be able to leave this place in their lifetime.
Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao. Most importantly, his Nomological Dao didn’t rely on his Spiritual Force and Spiritual Sea. His Nomological Dao relied on his consciousness. As long as he was conscious, he could reconstruct and adapt to the Heaven Earth Divine Essence there. Then, he would find his own Spiritual Force and Divine Essence again.
Bam! While Di Jiu was straightening out his thoughts, another bang was heard not far away from him.
Di Jiu stopped. He knew who had fallen this time. It was that opinionated woman.
When their divine power had still been present previously, Di Jiu had been afraid of her. However, he was not at the moment.
Compared to Di Jiu, Cao Xi’s physical body was evidently not that strong. As she struggled to get up from the ground, she was full of wounds that had been created by the void. Fortunately, this was only a plane rift. She hadn’t been torn by the spatial dislocation, and her clothes had not been torn off either.
Cao Xi wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth and looked at Di Jiu, who was staring at her from a distance. “Why aren’t you escaping? Come with me then.”
Di Jiu held onto his arms and faintly replied, “Do you think I need to do that? What can you do to me?”
Even without Di Jiu’s explanation, Cao Xi had already understood. She turned somewhat pale, and her divine power disappeared without a trace. Clearly, this was a displacement of strength. Di Jiu had been her target in the past, but the tables had turned now.
Cao Xi’s nature was clearly extraordinary. She very soon understood her situation and said faintly, “Di Jiu, your aptitude and cultivation techniques are extraordinary. I have never seen a formidable escape technique like yours. If my guess is right, you should have used the laws of the universe to escape. That previous fellow might not necessarily have such an escape technique. Perhaps, you have been given some opportunities, but I have to admit that you’re a genius.”
Di Jiu chuckled. “I know I’m very outstanding. You don’t have to praise me.”
Cao Xi sighed. “If you walk on the right path and kill less, you might be able to understand beyond the Dao in the future.”
Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “You don’t have to reason with me. I know how to walk my own path. I don’t need you to guide me. I’m only warning you of two things. First, don’t think that you’re always right. I’m not Dao Lord Myriad Poison. However, Dao Lord Myriad Poison is my friend. He wiped out the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean to help me. Thus, it’s only right that you’re settling the score with me.
“Before you settle the score for the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, you have to be aware that the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean has wiped out countless lives and planets and killed countless cultivators in the universe for many years. If you seek revenge for the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, you’ll be holding a candle for the devil. You will also be a murderer…”
“Daoist Di, if revenge breeds revenge, will there ever be an end to that? I don’t want to kill you. I only want to grind off your killing nature. If everyone sought revenge for the slightest grievance, the entire universe would be filled with massacre and the smell of blood. Would there be a pure land then? Would there be peace?” Cao Xi clearly did not approve of Di Jiu’s words.
Di Jiu laughed. “I just recalled a classic story from my hometown. There were two people once. One of them was called Han Shan, while the other was called Shi De. One day, Han Shan asked Shi De, ‘If anyone slanders me, bullies me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, hates me, or deceives me for no reason, what should I do?’”
Cao Xi, who was shocked that Di Jiu would say that, asked in confusion, “What did Shi De answer?”
Di Jiu replied, “Shi De answered, ‘Why don’t you bear with them, modestly decline, let them be, avoid them, be patient with them, respect them, and ignore them? Look at them again after a few years.’”
Cao Xi clapped her hands. “Shi De is someone with great wisdom and knowledge. He is simply someone worth learning from. What a great answer! That is simply great. Daoist Di, since you had such a person in your hometown and you also have his wisdom. Why haven’t you learned anything?”
Di Jiu replied with a sneer, “If I had learned anything, I would have been reincarnated by now. No, that’s not right. I wouldn’t have been reincarnated. I wouldn’t even have had the chance to get reincarnated. My modest declination, patience, and respect are only meant for those worthy of them. As for the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, I can only fight with them, kill them, and wipe them out.”
Cao Xi frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable because of Di Jiu’s viciousness.
Di Jiu didn’t bother talking with Cao Xi. Instead, he turned to leave. Although he was uncomfortable because Cao Xi had been chasing him for so many years, she was not vicious. It was just that the standard of her conduct was too incredible.
When Di Jiu went far away, Cao Xi understood and hurriedly chased after him. “Daoist Di, hold on…”
“What’s the matter? Could you have fallen for me and want to be with me?” After being chased for hundreds of years, although Di Jiu did not care about this woman, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Therefore, it was unavoidable that he would say something sarcastic.
Cao Xi faintly replied, “If you want me to do all this, just kill me. I can also kill myself.”
“Not interested.” Di Jiu turned around to leave.
Cao Xi told Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, both our Dao techniques cannot be executed now. You can clearly restrain me easily, but why aren’t you doing so? Why aren’t you killing me either?”
“Ha ha…” Di Jiu laughed out loud and turned around to answer Cao Xi. “That is the standard of your conduct. An arrogant woman like you who places herself above everything would naturally believe that she is powerful and take it upon herself to purify the entire universe with her strength. You could crush anyone who is not your match and imposes on your willpower.
“I also have my own standard of conduct. I kill people and I am sometimes a little vicious just so that the people around me can live better and pursue some worldly possessions that they like. I’m not stronger than you, but I might not do what you do or restrain you and make you listen to my arrangements for no reason while you are unable to retaliate.”
Then, Di Jiu stared at Cao Xi. “I’ll just say one thing. We’re not on the same path.”
Cao Xi went silent. After some time, she suddenly said, “Didn’t you say you’d warn me of two things? What’s the second one?”
“I don’t really want to tell you the second one anymore. Can you stop following me now?” Di Jiu chuckled and once again started walking away.
As if Cao Xi couldn’t understand what Di Jiu had told her, she kept following him. “Daoist Di, do you think that it’s wrong of me to chase after you? Or do you think that the planet the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean is on should be wiped out?”
Di Jiu looked at her helplessly. “Let me tell you another story from my hometown.”
