Chapter 181 - The Battle Between The Sea Roll Experts
After entering the Sky Route City, Di Jiu could sense the city’s prosperity even more clearly. He had also been to other prosperous cultivation cities in the Polar Night Continent, including the North Ridge City, the Thorn Ocean City, and the Sky Market City. These cities, however, could not compare to the Sky Route City.
What made Di Jiu most envious were the Spirit Qi whirlpools everywhere. These Spirit Qi whirlpools had obviously been created by cultivating individuals. Di Jiu had made a Spirit Qi whirlpool while cultivating in the Marsh Ocean Town. However, he had almost been killed as a result. Despite the many Spirit Qi whirlpools in the area, no one took any action.
“You must be at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm, Brother Di Jiu. In any case, you won’t be able to head over to the Everlasting Domain Planet anytime soon. If you want to, you could join the Azure Sect.” After entering the Sky Route City with Di Jiu, Gai Shitian could also sense that Di Jiu had no place to go. He had to be an Itinerant Cultivator.
Di Jiu hesitated for a while before saying, “I plan on searching for a place to enter reclusive cultivation for a period of time. I will only consider any other options afterwards.”
“If you want to cultivate, then go to the Five Continent Pavilion’s cave abode. The price of the cave abodes there is slightly higher, but the Spirit Qi in that area is definitely the densest. I’m staying at the Forgetful River Inn. You can find me there whenever you need me.” Gai Shitian was not bothered by Di Jiu’s reply. Making friends was in his nature, so he would naturally attempt to become friends with any cultivator that was compatible with him. This was why he had so many different friends, even though his cultivation level was not high.
“Forgetful River Inn?” asked Di Jiu in surprise.
This name sounded very familiar. Back on Earth, there had been a Forgetful River Mountain Range [1. previously translated as Wang Chuan Mountain Range] and a Forgetful River Temple [2. previously translated as Wang Chuan Temple].
Gai Shitian smiled. “The Forgetful River Inn is just a small inn. I came here to wait for some members of my sect. In three months, the Five Continent Dao Pagoda will open.”
“What’s the Five Continent Dao Pagoda?” Di Jiu asked curiously.
“Shitian, isn’t that Hong Kui, who ranks 93rd on the Sea Roll?” Di Jiu asked in surprise. “Why would anyone dare challenge him? If the cultivators on the Sea Roll could be challenged at any time, wouldn’t there be chaos? Plus, the Sky Route City seems very strict. How could street battles even be allowed here?”
Gai Shitian clenched his fists excitedly. When he heard what Di Jiu said, he forcefully suppressed his excitement and said, “We’ve struck gold today. We could actually see Dong Youjian challenge Hong Kui. The people on the Dao Roll cannot be challenged at will. You could only challenge one if you entered the top 10 of the Potential Roll, or if you were also on the Dao Roll. Any battles between other people are naturally not allowed in the Sky Route City. However, the experts on the Dao Roll are the exceptions to this rule.”
“Dong Youjian is also on the Sea Roll?”
Gai Shitian nodded his head. “That’s right. He ranks 104th on the Sea Roll, which is considered pretty low.”
“Would Dong Youjian rank 93rd if he defeated Hong Kui?” Di Jiu asked.
“Yes, so long as Dong Youjian defeated Hong Kui, he would rank 93rd,” said Gai Shitian with certainty.
Di Jiu laughed mockingly. “Dong Youjian challenged Hong Kui on this street in order to rise by 10 ranks. Looks like he couldn’t stand being lonely.”
“You’re wrong this time, Brother Di Jiu. Dong Youjian actually likes keeping a low profile. The reason he challenged Hong Kui is because Hong Kui raped and killed his fiancee, Xue Zhu’er,” said Gai Shitian in a low voice.
“So Hong Kui is in fact a beast!” Di Jiu was outraged. He hated worthless people like Hong Kui with a passion.
“Lower your voice!” said Gai Shitian hurriedly.
Hong Kui, who had already noticed Di Jiu, looked over coldly and punched out.
A violent aura of death suddenly swamped over. Even though Di Jiu knew a little about space laws, he still had some difficulty breathing against this absolute oppression.
This was not good. Just as Di Jiu was about to frantically burn his Blood Essence, a red sword flare slashed below Hong Kui’s fist. The oppressive space instantly disappeared and Di Jiu’s breathing returned to normal as he retreated anxiously.
He suddenly realized that he could not escape when an extremely powerful opponent used their cultivation aura to lock the space, no matter how powerful his Spiritual Force escape technique was. Hong Kui was only a ninth-stage Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator. What would he do if he encountered a Life Tribulation Realm cultivator or a True Form Realm expert?
“I’m your enemy, Hong Kui. This man is right, you are a beast!” Dong Youjian laughed coldly. He was the one who had helped Di Jiu block Hong Kui’s punch.
“If you wish to die first, I shall grant your wish.” When Hong Kui spread his palm, a gigantic metal hammer slammed towards Dong Youjian.
Before Dong Youjian could slash out with his sword, Hong Kui’s other metal hammer smashed his way.
A terrifying aura suddenly collided in space. In an instant, every cultivator, including Di Jiu, retreated frantically. The power of the two hammers was astonishing. If one was accidentally engulfed by this hammer aura, they would definitely die.
