Chapter 843 - Exchanging the Dharma Treasure
Upon hearing that Di Jiu was really willing to exchange the Yin-Yang Taijitu, Shang Huijue was ecstatic. The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was his most important possession.
However, he was not reluctant to exchange it for the Yin-Yang Taijitu Di Jiu had. Nobody could take away his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Even if Di Jiu took it, he would need at least 10,000 years to refine it. Within these 10,000 years, he could summon the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush to him at any time.
He had overestimated Di Jiu. Di Jiu could never refine his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, which had attached to the Heaven-Opening Mantra.
When the Yin-Yang Taijitu reached his hands, he would at most need half a year before his strength rose to another level.
When that happened, he would look for the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Di Jiu had mentioned that if he wanted the Yin-Yang Taijitu, he would have to take out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Of course, Di Jiu’s strength was on par with his. If Di Jiu’s strength was inferior to his, he would have to get lost or even be suppressed by the Heaven-Opening Mantra.
Despite being ecstatic, Shang Huijue looked hesitant. His expression told Di Jiu that the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was his main offensive Dharma treasure. How could he trade that with other people?
Di Jiu laughed and said with cupped fists, “In that case, we’ll meet again soon. When I return, I’ll discuss other things with you.”
“Daoist Di, hold on. I’ll exchange it. However, I’ll need at most a year to be enlightened. You have to take good care of the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.” Shang Huijue took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and warned him repeatedly.
Di Jiu waved his hand. “Since City Lord Shang is so worried, there is no need to trade. It nearly cost my life to get the Yin-Yang Taijitu. You speak as if my Yin-Yang Taijitu is worthless while your Heaven-Opening Writing Brush is a gold mine, which disappoints me. To be honest, I’m lending the Yin-Yang Taijitu to you because I hope that you can reach a higher level. When we work together in the future, it would be of more help. I don’t wish to stay in this place any longer.”
…
Di Jiu had the same thought as Shang Huijue. He knew very well how useful the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was to Shang Huijue. He definitely didn’t believe that Shang Huijue would really exchange the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush for his Yin-Yang Taijitu.
As soon as he reached the Naixi Ocean, Di Jiu took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.
After his Spiritual Force only circled above the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush once, Di Jiu knew that it would not be easy for him to refine it.
The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was filled with Shang Huijue’s Spiritual Force imprints and even embodied his willpower.
Even if he sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World now, Shang Huijue would definitely find him as soon as possible. Therefore, he could not do that. At least not now.
If Di Jiu didn’t cultivate the Nomological Dao, his only way out would be to enter the Half-Patterned Swamp as quickly as possible before he used the Reincarnation Bridge to leave the Lost Dao World.
Now, Di Jiu had begun to strip off some of Shang Huijue’s Spiritual Force imprint and willpower on the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.
Then, he set up a major array in the wide Naixi Ocean before he placed the Spiritual Force imprints and willpower that he had stripped away into the array.
After doing all this, Di Jiu immediately sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World. Then, he quickly executed the nomological escape technique and left the Naixi Ocean for the Half-Patterned Swamp.
He didn’t worry about the traps that had been set up. He was worried that Shang Huijue was too concerned about the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. When he suddenly sensed the aura of the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush weaken, he would recall it. If that happened, then his setup would all be wasted. It would have been even better to tear the Lost Dao World with the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.
As soon as Di Jiu sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World, Shang Huijue sensed it. He immediately stopped what he was doing and looked towards the Naixi Ocean.
At that moment, he sensed that his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush’s imprint had weakened unrestrictedly.
Just as Shang Huijue could not help but recall the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, that unrestrictedly weaker imprint finally stopped weakening and remained in the Naixi Ocean. Shang Huijue was relieved and sure that Di Jiu had set up an isolation array at the Naixi Ocean and isolated the aura of his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Given Di Jiu’s Array Dao, he could do so.
However, Di Jiu could never refine his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.
Shang Huijue sat down again and deduced the Yin-Yang Taijitu in his hands even quicker. At the same time, he paid more attention to his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Once something was amiss, he would immediately recall it.
