Chapter 839 - Solitary Void Without Yin and Yang
Di Jiu’s heart sank. He knew about the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus, but it was said that it had gone extinct a long time ago. He had not been in the void for a long period, yet his knowledge and experience were incomparable to the average cultivator’s. Nonetheless, he had never heard of the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus appearing before.
Upon seeing the state Yimo was in, Ling Xiaoshuang felt extremely upset. However, she was too weak to help much, so she looked at Di Jiu helplessly and said, “Big Brother Di, I’m indebted to Yimo, yet I am too weak to save her…”
Di Jiu nodded. “Don’t worry. I will definitely try my best to save her.”
Mu Lianqi sighed. “Back when the Lost Dao World first opened, the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus could be found everywhere.”
Di Jiu had already decided that he would have to leave this place as soon as possible if he could not successfully attain Dao Integration there. He would try his best to save both Ye Yimo and Xiuqi.
“Big Brother Mu, Xiaoshuang, let us go our separate ways and gain insight individually. We will meet here again in three years. Leave a message if you need more time.” The Dao Integration cultivator had decided to find a place to enter seclusion for three years, regardless of whether he could successfully attain the Dao Integration Realm.
Speaking of leaving messages, Di Jiu looked at Ling Xiaoshuang and asked, “Xiaoshuang, I have sent you messages previously. Why did you reply to none of them?”
“Ah…” Ling Xiaoshuang took out her communication pearl subconsciously before explaining in embarrassment, “Sorry, Big Brother Di. I put it away. I will put it on my wrist immediately.”
Di Jiu nodded. “Alright. Farewell then. See you in three years.”
…
Meanwhile, Di Jiu had stopped in his tracks. Ravines and Dharma treasure fragments existed everywhere within the swamp. Only a field of gray filled one’s line of sight, no matter how far one could see or how far one’s Spiritual Force could reach.
Di Jiu did not intentionally search for a place, as he only wanted to gain insight into the opportunity to attain Dao Integration.
After completing a Nomological Qi Circulation, he immediately sensed the heaven-opening aura within the stretch of swamp he was in. It was faint but it contained some form of Origin Dao runes.
Only three months passed before Di Jiu stopped trying to gain insight. He knew that he would definitely be unable to attain Dao Integration simply by relying on these heaven-opening Origin Dao runes. He had sensed this kind of Dao runes before in the Universe Membrane fragment. Even now, he had one such small fragment on him.
Since the agreement had occurred three years ago, he decided to use the remaining time to gain insight into Shang Huijue’s supernormal ability, the Heaven-Opening Mantra.
Di Jiu had experienced the Heaven-Opening Mantra before and was confident that Shang Huijue had yet to even master one percent of this supernormal ability. However, it was already really powerful. Just how frightening would it be if it was fully mastered?
Di Jiu had come into contact with the six words “Solitary Void without Yin and Yang” of the Heaven-Opening Mantra. He did not know if there was more, although he guessed that there was.
Even Shang Huijue would not have expected that Di Jiu would be able to gain a slight understanding of the supernormal ability’s essence after using it only once. If Shang Huijue had been privy to this fact, he might have chosen to admit defeat rather than engage in a fight with Di Jiu.
In Di Jiu’s opinion, he would be able to learn Shang Huijue’s supernormal ability even if he did not have the original Dharma Art.
All supernormal abilities were transformed and condensed from laws. No matter how powerful the Heaven-Opening Mantra was, the same rule applied to it.
Di Jiu knew the laws of the word ‘Solitary’. However, he did not have the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, so he could only use the Heavenly Aqua Saber to carve out the word ‘Solitary’ in the air.
When the saber aura was condensed, the laws engulfed the surrounding space in an instant.
The word ‘Solitary’ transformed into numerous laws and the space was filled with an extremely desolate aura, as though the whole universe had suddenly entered its last moment.
Boom! The saber aura stopped and the ‘Solitary’ supernormal ability took shape, immediately exploding violently. A huge ravine formed at Di Jiu’s position.
Di Jiu sighed. He knew that he needed the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush if he wished to practice the Heaven-Opening Mantra. The Heavenly Aqua Saber was indeed powerful, but the lack of intent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush contained resulted in failure to create the ‘Solitary’ intent. The ‘Solitary’ word he had carved using the saber was more like an explosion of saber aura.
How could he obtain the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush if it was in Shang Huijue’s possession?
