Chapter 389 - The Desire Poison Had Senses Too
A man with a long face stepped down and landed on the hallway. Behind him was a soldierly young man in blue clothes with a long spear behind his back. He was the one who had ridiculed Jie Wanling just now.
“Looks like we did not come very late.” Another voice came from the void before five more people appeared in the hallway.
The palace maid continued to announce in a clear and loud voice, “Sect Master Zhou Bujian of the Moving Sword Immortal Sect and young sect master Zhou Hechen have arrived. Dao Master Yue Wuliang from the Heavenly Cloud Dao, his disciple Qin Boshan, and his elder daughter Yue He’er have arrived…”
The lady in the white clothes immediately went over to welcome them. “The Yaohua Snow Mountain welcomes Immortal Emperors Star Demon, Yuanyi, Void Sword and Great Sovereignty. You have all come from afar, so please follow me into the hall reserved for the guests.”
“Ha ha! Junior Sister Louxue’s cultivation experience has increased so much after all these years that I cannot seem to keep up with her.” The red-headed man who arrived last seemed to be glowing with enthusiasm as though he had an exceptional relationship with Immortal Emperor Melting Snow.
The lady in white said emotionlessly, “I cannot compare to Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty.”
Her words revealed how estranged she was from him.
Jie Cheng, who stood beside Jie Wanling, took the initiative to walk up to the lady next to the red-headed man and bow. “Greetings, Senior Sister Yue He’er. I am Jie Cheng.”
The red-headed man was Dao Master Yue Wuliang from the Heavenly Cloud Dao, who had brought two people there, unlike the other sect masters. One of them was his disciple, Qin Boshan, and the other was his daughter, Yue He’er.
While Jie Huang was distracted, Di Jiu’s Dao fire slammed down and wrapped around Jie Huang.
“Ah…” Jie Huang shrieked. His cry almost tore down the entire tea house. His scream was blocked by the restriction Di Jiu had set up so nothing could be heard from the outside.
Di Jiu ignored Jie Huang’s cry completely. After all, he had been through such pain before. In fact, he had been through worse than what Jie Huang was experiencing. At least Di Jiu was in control of the Dao fire burning Jie Huang and the fire was not meant to kill him but to find the Desire Poison in him. When Di Jiu had been burned by the Heavenly Fire Spirit, he had been at risk of being killed.
The reason Di Jiu was determined to save Mo Yuxuan was because he would have been burned to death by the Heavenly Fire Spirit without her.
“Big Brother, let me off…” Jie Huang screamed amid the fire.
Di Jiu chided him, “Are you stupid? Circulate the body-tempering cultivation technique and the Forging Spiritual Art hurriedly. Circulate the Starry Sky Art later when I tell you to start.”
Jie Huang finally understood the situation and realized that Di Jiu would not let him off. Therefore, he could only start circulating the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering cultivation technique.
Di Jiu did not burn Jie Huang’s physical body and bones randomly. He separated Jie Huang’s Blood Essence at the same time and sent it into the gigantic array of the life-force.
He had not prepared the top-notch material to help Jie Huang’s physical body recover, as the Blood Essence he took from Jie Huang would be the best for Jie Huang’s recovery. However, he needed to find the Desire Poison first. Otherwise, the Blood Essence he had taken from Jie Huang would not be usable.
Jie Huang finally started the body-tempering process. Due to his high cultivation experience, his physical body improved drastically as Di Jiu tempered his body.
Crack! Jie Huang’s spiritual sea split open and he felt the power of the Forging Spiritual Art.
“Start circulating the Starry Sky Art!” Di Jiu’s voice was like a storm that slammed into the recesses of Jie Huang’s spiritual sea.
Jie Huang circulated the Starry Sky Art and his Immortal Essence started to transform…
Subsequently, he was surprised to see a vast galaxy in his meridian. Was this the galaxy meridian?
Jie Huang had always thought that he had great potential and he knew that his aptitude would increase the moment he felt that there was no hindrance in the galaxy meridian, no matter how much immortal spirit Qi he absorbed.
At the moment, that terrifying pain did not seem so intimidating anymore. Even the pain seemed more bearable.
Di Jiu was agitated because he felt something different in his Dao fire. It was not Jie Huang’s Blood Essence, spiritual sea or will. The thing that broke through Jie Huang’s galaxy meridian under the pressure of the Dao fire had spirituality.
Di Jiu opened up the galaxy meridian. Suddenly, that unknown thing broke into the galaxy meridian and started struggling when it was captured by the Dao fire.
It did not seem to have a form, while it also seemed to have one. It had to be the Desire Poison spread by that woman. The poison had spirituality, so a better name for it would have been Spirit of Desire Poison.
Di Jiu sensed a faintly discernible nomological aura. His theory that everything in the world was an order was right. Similarly, the Spirit of Desire Poison was also a type of law.
The Dao fire did not burn the Spirit of Desire Poison but embraced it instead. Di Jiu started to feel a new type of nomological aura.
…
At the same time, in the hall of the Yaohua Snow Mountain…
“Good tea, Immortal Emperor Melting Snow. Is this a new tea invented by you?” Immortal Emperor Bujian, the sect master of the Moving Sword Immortal Sect, looked at Immortal Emperor Melting Snow in surprise after having a sip of tea.
The tea allowed him to see a world that was peaceful but full of vitality. He sensed someone that was beyond the realm of cultivation in it. This was a place every cultivator pursued.
Jie Wanling, the palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace felt just as impressed. “This is my first time drinking such top-notch immortal spirit tea. Junior Sister Louxue must have broken through to another realm and surpassed us if she can formulate such tea.”
Immortal Emperor Melting Snow laughed. “I did not make this tea. This tea is called the Starry Sky Tea and it comes from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City…”
For some unknown reason, Jie Huang came to Jie Wanling’s mind when the latter heard that the tea was from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Wasn’t Huang’er opening a tea house in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City? Did he buy the tea and resell it because it had appeared in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City?
