Chapter 805 - How to Sever the Dark Sift Steel
At the fifth year mark, Di Jiu stopped his Array Dao deduction and stood up in disappointment. Perhaps he could become a level-nine Divine Array Emperor only after he attained the Dao Integration Realm.
The surrounding Array Dao runes dissipated completely the moment Di Jiu stood up. Bei Yingshu, who had been staring at Di Jiu, asked in astonishment, “Why did you stop deducing the Array Dao?”
Di Jiu sighed and replied, “You’re right, Senior Supreme Oneness. I’m afraid, I would not be able to become a level-nine Divine Array Emperor anytime soon.”
Di Jiu was well-aware of his progress. Becoming a level-nine Divine Array Emperor was not an impossible task for him but it would most likely take 10,000 years to accomplish. Di Jiu did not so much time to gain insight of the Array Dao. He might as well make use of this time to attain the Dao Integration Realm instead.
Bei Yingshu no longer perceived Di Jiu as an arrogant person, for anyone, who was capable to become a level-eight Divine Array Emperor from level-seven in a few short months, was qualified to make such claims.
“Daoist Di, if you don’t mind, don’t address me as ‘senior’. Call me by my name or Bei Great Beginning instead — That’s what many of my friends call me. As for the name ‘Supreme Oneness’, that is a name I dare not use.” At this moment, Bei Yingshu had already viewed Di Jiu as someone of equal standing as him.
Age mattered not in this universe; strength was the most important.
The astounding aptitude Di Jiu displayed proved that he was qualified to become friends with anyone.
“I shall call you Old Bei then.” Di Jiu did not really care about that. Bei Yingshu should come from an ordinary background, but so was Di Jiu.
He suspected that Melted Planet Metal was once added into this saber, along with Violet Aqua Sand. If that was the case, this saber could automatically upgrade to limits unknown.
“I refined this myself. What do you think of it? Impressive, ain’t it?” Di Jiu chuckled and recalled back the Heavenly Aqua Saber. “I will use this saber to sever the Dark Sift Steel locking your cultivation.”
Bei Yingshu shook his head. “That’s useless. That will be impossible, unless your saber upgraded to become a Sacred Weapon.”
Bei Yingshu knew just how frightening the Dark Sift Steel was. It was no ordinary Dark Sift Steel, for inside was filled with restriction array pattern engraved by an exceptional expert. It was something that an ordinary Dharma treasure could not cut through.
Di Jiu frowned, suddenly slashing down with the Heavenly Aqua Saber. He had identified the top-notch Dao restriction within. This saber swing was intended to split apart the Dao restriction laws first before severing the Dark Sift Steel.
Crack! A crack appeared on the Dark Sift Steel when the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed on it.
However, in the next moment, this crack disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Bei Yingshu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as a piece of white paper.
Di Jiu apologetically took out several elixir pills and placed thme inside Bei Yingshu’s mouth. Embarrassed, he said, “I really did not know taht this Dark Sift Steel is so powerful, Old Bei. Sorry for injuring you in the process.”
Under these circumferences, Bei Yingshu might lose his life even if the Dark Sift Steel was successfully severed.
Bei Yingshu recovered a lot after consuming some elixir pills. He waved his hand dismissively. “It’s alright. I did not expect you to know a supernormal ability that could rip apart nomological restrictions. Yet, even so, you could not sever this Dark Sift Steel.”
Di Jiu nodded. “I know, which is why I’m still trying to think of a way. Oh yes, do you happen to know what could split this Dark Sift Steel open?”
Bei Yingshu replied, “It is useless even if I know, as I do not have it. The elixir pills you just gave me should be Primordial Dao elixir pills, which are quite hard to obtain. How did you obtain them?”
“I refined them myself. It is unfortunate that I do not have any Primordial Chaos Dao fruits, else I might be able to refine Primordial Chaos Dao pills,” answered Di Jiu flippantly.
“You are a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint as well?!” Bei Yingshu felt that he was going crazy. Di Jiu was a Weapon Saint, a level-eight Divine Array Emperor and a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. Oh wait, Di Jiu was also a Tempered Body cultivator.
Di Jiu waved his hand dismissively. “Those are not important. Tell me, how can we open this Dark Sift Steel binding you?”
Bei Yingshu finally calmed down. With a sigh, he replied, “A Dao fire. An ordinary Dao fire won’t work. It must be one that have upgraded to the saint-level.”
“Dao fire?” Di Jiu looked at Bei Yingshu speechlessly. He possessed such a Dao fire.
