Chapter 536 - People Alive on the Void Mountain
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated this white-jade skeleton and found out why it had not been corroded yet. It was because the corpse was also a top-notch cultivator with a Tempered Body higher than his that might have even surpassed the level of a Sacred Body.
This skeleton held onto the white-jade stone tablet because of a deep obsession with it when it had still been alive. Therefore, it was unwilling to let it go after obtaining it even after being dead for many years.
Di Jiu sighed and said, “I know you snatched this white-jade stone tablet, but your soul is not here anymore. It’s only an obsession, and I don’t wish to harm your skeleton. I want to take this stone tablet away indeed, so you might as well let it go.”
If it still did not understand what he meant, Di Jiu would have to destroy this skeleton by force.
Perhaps it could sense that, after many years, someone had come here again and the stone tablet had nothing to do with it even if it continued holding it. The skeleton loosened its grip and the white-jade stone tablet fell to the ground.
Di Jiu lifted his arms and took the stone tablet into his hands. His Spiritual Force permeated it and discovered no refined restrictions or any auras of Dharma treasure Dao runes. It looked like this stone tablet was just an ordinary stone tablet.
Di Jiu casually threw the stone tablet into the ring, not expecting that the stone tablet would not be sent in.
Huh? Di Jiu observed the stone tablet carefully again. He did not see anything different in half an hour so he once again threw it into the Ninth World.
There was nothing odd about the stone tablet this time, so it was thrown into the Ninth World directly.
Crash! Due to Di Jiu’s touch, the two skeletons immediately disintegrated into dust.
Their rings and Dharma treasures all vanished except for the long saber.
Di Jiu picked up this long saber. There was still a Heaven Saber in his ring, but he could sense that this long saber mimicked the Heaven Saber and had already surpassed the level of a supreme-grade immortal weapon.
Di Jiu knew how powerful the body-tempering cultivation technique of the Heaven Saber Sect was. His Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art came from the Heaven Saber Sect. Their skeletons would not turn into dust years after they perished thanks to this powerful body-tempering cultivation technique. However, all the skeletons here had turned into dust, leaving only some Dharma treasures behind. This made Di Jiu suspect that there was corrosion of Dao runes in the Void Mountain.
Only with the corrosion of Dao runes all year round could these top-notch Tempered Body cultivators’ skeletons turn into dust.
Di Jiu put away his Heaven Saber and focused his gaze once again on the side of the indentation. It looked as if there was nothing, but he could sense that these two people had died because of the indentation.
There was no Dao rune aura in the indentation, which was more or less identical to the white-jade stone tablet that he had obtained earlier.
Di Jiu was about to take out the white-jade stone tablet and send it into the indentation when he suddenly sensed a hint of familiarity at the edge of his Spiritual Force. It was the Dao rune aura left behind by his Heavenly Aqua Saber.
Di Jiu, who was ecstatic, rushed over without hesitation. He was sure that this aura was produced by Qi Jun. Qi Jun had been struck by his two saber moves, so the Dao runes could not be removed from him unless he had a more profound understanding of the Heaven Earth Law than Di Jiu, which was not possible.
Why had he come here? Wasn’t it to search for Qi Jun? Qi Jun was undoubtedly dead after getting hit with two of his saber moves. He had searched for Qi Jun to ask about Jiang Dai and discover why Jiang Dai had drawn away the light from providence in the Four Major Immortal Worlds. He also wanted to see what the Upper Realm of the Immortal World was like and find out how to get there.
Di Jiu stopped four hours later and looked at the two people in front of him in shock.
That’s right. There was not only one person in front of him, but two. Neither of them was a skeleton. They were alive. They were sitting on the stone pillar, looking back at Di Jiu in shock.
Di Jiu recognized one of them. He was Qi Jun, who he had been searching for.
At that moment, Qi Jun did not look like he was seriously injured. It seemed as though he had only met a friend and the two of them were drinking tea here.
The young man who was sitting opposite Qi Jun looked like a skeleton in a layer of skin. His face was thin, without much flesh, and both the rim of his eyes and his cheeks were indented. He also looked at Di Jiu in shock, his eyes wandering to the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind Di Jiu.
“Qi Jun, did he cause the injuries on you?” The thin, weak young man glanced at Qi Jun, sounding somewhat cold.
Qi Jun stood up and bowed. He then said, “Yes, Young Master Baishang. His Saber Dao seems to have been combined with the law of the universe. With one saber move, the entire spatial law is under his control. These laws include the time law aura. If I had not run fast, I would already have perished thanks to his time law…”
“Time law?” The thin young man looked at Di Jiu in shock, hot rays of light emanating from deep within his eyes.
Before he could stand up, Di Jiu could sense a terrifying suppression sweeping over. At that moment, it was hard for Di Jiu to breathe, let alone move.
