Chapter 658 - Lightning’s Powerful Origins
The yellow-haired woman glanced at Di Jiu and said calmly, “It’s no use even if you know because you can’t go there. Back then, if Senior Ye had not smashed the barrier and found that place, the Clan Leader of the Phoenix Clan would have been unable to go there too.”
Since the yellow-haired woman was unwilling to tell him, Di Jiu could not do anything about it. He would ask Xu Xun and maybe he would find out.
“Also, you better put away this beast companion of yours. Otherwise, you will cause more trouble. If possible, I suggest you leave the Void City and go somewhere far away. If you don’t, you will draw the top-notch experts of the Demon Clan or even other clans.” The yellow-haired woman pointed at Lightning.
Di Jiu was about to ask about Lightning’s background when he hurriedly asked, “Senior, where did my beast companion originate from?”
The yellow-haired woman looked at Di Jiu in shock. She pointed to Lightning and asked, “You don’t know its origin?”
Di Jiu answered in embarrassment, “Senior, I really don’t know.”
The yellow-haired woman stroked her forehead and replied, “You should know about the Kun Peng[1], right?”
Di Jiu nodded. “I know about it.”
He did not mean that he really had met the Kun Peng. If his memory served him, according to Zhuangzi’s[2] Free and Easy Wandering, the Kun Peng originated from the North. It was described as a fish in the North called the Kun. The Kun was as big as a few hundred kilometers that transformed into a bird called the Peng. The back of the Peng was a few hundred kilometers. Amid its flying rage, its wings were like clouds draping over Heaven…
However, Lightning was worlds apart from the Kun Peng. Di Jiu would not believe that Lightning was a Kun Peng because of their huge difference in appearance.
After Di Jiu set up the inn cave abode’s restrictions again, he started to enter seclusion to stabilize his cultivation. It was not appropriate for him to use the Dao meridians here. Fortunately, the Divine Spirit Qi was rich there, so he took out a pile of divine crystals. Even though his cultivation progress was a bit slow, it was gradually rising.
After Ding Chi reached the Dao Transformation, his cultivation would not rise anytime soon. He was different from Di Jiu, as he did not cultivate the Nomological Dao. If his cultivation rose too quickly in a short time, it would mean that there were problems with his foundation.
While Di Jiu went into seclusion and stabilized his cultivation, Ding Chi planned to do what Di Jiu had said. He would wander around the Void City and ask around if there was a store to rent.
As soon as Ding Chi walked out of the inn, he saw Xu Xun standing outside. At the same time, Xu Xun also saw Ding Chi.
“Where’s your partner? I have some matters to discuss with him,” Xu Xun said hurriedly.
“What’s the matter?” Ding Chi looked at Xu Xun cautiously. When the Demon Clan’s expert had come earlier, Xu Xun had been the first to escape. It was obvious that this fellow was not friends with them.
“He he…” Xu Xun chuckled. “You guys came here for the Dao Fruit Pagoda that will be held in a few years, right? There are Dao fruits everywhere in the Dao Fruit Pagoda. Once you enter that place, I assure you that you will obtain a pile of Dao fruits.”
“How do we go in?” Ding Chi’s curiosity was aroused immediately.
Xu Xun answered in a low voice, “Since Senior Tang came, there should be no problem if you guys stay in the Void City temporarily. Brother Di’s strength is probably unusual. If he can barge into the Divine Dao Roll, he can enter the Dao Fruit Pagoda.”
“The Divine Dao Roll?” While Ding Chi was questioning him, a mournful scream was heard. Then, a middle-aged woman was sent flying over and hit the inn restriction beside Ding Chi, causing it to rock.
“It’s you?” Ding Chi recognized the middle-aged woman. Previously, Di Jiu had told him that she had sent a voice transmission with kind intentions. She was probably worried about them being deceived by the people of the Demon Clan. Technically, she should be very cautious. Why had she been wounded on the streets?
