Chapter 259 - The Silly Young Master Red Embellishment
“We know,” Yuan Jia answered quickly. “The Planted Cultivators’ Mountain was an infamous place in the Small World Planet. A place that attracted many cultivators.”
“Why’s that?” Di Jiu didn’t understand.
Yuan Jia pointed to the Planted Cultivators’ Mountain, where countless cultivators had died, and explained, “Every step one took on the Planted Cultivators’ Mountain was arduous, as it was devoid of life. Every step one took introduced a wisp of lifelessness into the body. When the lifelessness accumulated reached a certain amount, the cultivators going up would die as they were standing there.”
“However, the Planted Cultivators’ Mountain had many benefits too. If one took more than 100 steps on it, every additional step would add 100 years to one’s lifespan. Of course, this extra lifespan would only apply if one made it down the mountain. The mountain also had a type of law used for cultivation. If the cultivators made it down the mountain, their lifespan would increase tremendously, their strength would surpass that of their peers, and their understanding of magic techniques would deepen.”
After listening, Di Jiu took a gasp of cold air. Everything about the Planted Cultivators’ Mountain pointed at the same law—time.
If one spent some time on time law, one would feel some difference when fighting with others—even if they had not yet gained any insight into it.
Yuan Jia chuckled. “Besides, anyone who could reach the side of the cultivators planted on the mountain could get a ring. Come to think of it, this was strange. No matter how long the cultivators had been dead for, the items in their rings remained the same. Even the spirit herbs looked as if they had just been picked.”
Upon hearing this, Di Jiu became even more certain that the Planted Cultivators’ Mountain was a time law mountain.
Thus, he was eager to try this. He had been able to kick Shu Haolan, a True Form expert, into the Herald Night Lake with a single move, not only because the Herald Night Lake had special conditions, but also because he had slightly tempered with space law. Even though time law was not at a higher level than space law, it had greater powers when used in battle.
As soon as Di Jiu cast the Floating Flame Flag, his Spiritual Force found the location of the array core of the supreme-grade spirit meridian.
Di Jiu put away the Floating Flame Flag and slashed with the Heavenly Aqua Saber.
If he had been alone, he would definitely have spent some time examining these natural arrays. However, there were too many people around. Di Jiu didn’t want anyone to know that he was a top-notch array formation king.
As he held the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hand, an agitated feeling rushed in his heart. Ever since his Heavenly Aqua Saber had been upgraded to a middle-grade spirit weapon, it had become way more powerful. It had also gotten shorter by an inch and become four-feet and three-inches long.
Boom! The Heavenly Aqua Saber pounded against the array foundation that the Floating Flame Flag had just found. Although Di Jiu heard a faint cracking sound, this wasn’t the sound of something cracking up. Even though he wasn’t fighting an enemy, Di Jiu could clearly feel that the Heavenly Aqua Saber had become much stronger.
Boom, boom, boom! Di Jiu blasted 108 consecutive saber moves as fast as he could. Then, he heard a cracking sound again. A real crack had appeared this time!
This restriction couldn’t compare to the natural Defense Array outside that mine. As Di Jiu had this thought, the crack that had appeared disappeared again.
What a strong ability to recover! Di Jiu exclaimed silently. As a Level-Nine Array King, he naturally knew that all Defense Arrays had the ability to recover. However, this was the first time he had seen a restriction with such a strong recovering ability.
When the Heavenly Aqua Saber was used again, 108 more sabers descended. Di Jiu’s 108 sabers were different from other people’s—each saber was stronger than the previous one. There were also no intervals between the 108 sabers. Di Jiu could do this because he had a level-ten Spiritual Force. Even so, he could only do it continuously for up to 108 sabers.
The second time the 108 sabers descended, another crack appeared. Like before, the crack that had appeared disappeared before Di Jiu could execute the 109th saber.
Di Jiu let out a sigh. If this went on, he would only be able to break the array by attacking a number of array foundations or getting an assistant. If he had help, it would take him at most two to three days to open this restriction.
However, Di Jiu didn’t plan on getting help. He believed that he could hone and further improve his Saber Dao in this place. If his Saber Dao improved, he would be able to execute the 109th saber in the split second that the crack appeared and make the restriction crack open.
Di Jiu kept blasting the Heavenly Aqua Saber. The other cultivators shook their heads speechlessly as they watched Di Jiu blast the restriction shielding the supreme-grade spirit meridian so maniacally. The Young Master Red Embellishment was famous. How could he be so silly?
A day later, Di Jiu was still executing his saber moves outside the supreme-grade spirit meridian’s restriction.
Two days later… Three days later…
Towards the end, nobody cared about the silly Young Master Red Embellishment anymore. The restriction outside the supreme-grade spirit meridian was blurry. Unless one was a Level-Ten Array King, no matter how many people attacked together, nobody would be able to open the supreme-grade spirit meridian’s restriction before the Small Central Planet closed again.
Nine days passed… Ten days passed… One month passed…
