Countless clouds of blood exploded from Di Jiu’s body. He allowed the Thunder Tribulation Streaks to crash onto his body while he circulated the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art and the Starry Sky Art like mad.

Di Jiu broke through the bottleneck of the Great Unity Immortal Realm after the first wave of Thunder Tribulation. His cultivation experience increased drastically.

He felt that there was no immortal spirit meridian around him at the moment, and the increase of his cultivation experience seemed to be limited. This thought made Di Jiu gobble down a few Great Unity Immortal Elixirs without hesitation.

When the frenzied aura of the Immortal Essence and the rich and strong elixir exploded in Di Jiu’s Starry Sky meridian, a virtual starry sky with a few galaxies seemed to form in the meridian. The intensity of the elixir did not have much of an effect on Di Jiu.

Others transcended the tribulation by surpassing the border of the cultivation level and using the Great Unity Immortal elixir. Di Jiu, on the other hand, used the elixir to enrich the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The second wave of Thunder Tribulation streaks also included 81 thunder streaks. Di Jiu became a first-stage Great Unity Immortal even before the 81 thunder streaks had finished striking.

Unfortunately, his tempered body did not improve much. It was extremely difficult for one’s physical body to improve when it was a late-stage Immortal Spirit Body. Similarly, this Thunder Tribulation could only harm him externally but not internally.

Jie Huang, who was in the distance, did not know that. Thus, he was completely stunned by Di Jiu.

He had seen many Thunder Tribulations, but none of them had been like the one Di Jiu was transcending. Di Jiu was completely shrouded by clouds of blood, yet he stood firmly at his original position, facing the Thunder Tribulation Streaks without budging.

As the third wave of Thunder Tribulation was about to end, Di Jiu realized that it was challenging for him to break through the first-stage Great Unity Immortal Realm by using the Thunder Tribulation. Therefore, he took out the Heavenly Aqua Saber and slammed it on the Thunder Tribulation Streaks.

Even though the Thunder Tribulation Streaks intimidated other cultivators, that was not the case with Di Jiu.

Jie Huang sighed in relief when he saw Di Jiu using the Heavenly Aqua Saber. He had finally used a defense Dharma treasure. However, Big Brother was really poor. The only low-grade immortal weapon he had was used to attack. He should have used a defense Dharma treasure to protect himself against the Thunder Tribulation Streaks. Jie Huang would give Di Jiu a high-grade immortal weapon for attacking after the latter had transcended the tribulation.

Jie Huang was soon dumbfounded. Di Jiu was not defending himself at all. The saber slammed down and a green saber flare appeared, almost splitting the concentrated thunder streaks into two.

Was Big Brother trying to kill himself?

Jie Huang was stunned by this absurd idea. His father had once told him to keep a low profile while transcending tribulation and block off as many dangers as possible. One must not use any methods or even think of infuriating the Thunder Tribulation Streaks.

Some Thunder Tribulations contained mental demons, so even the thought of infuriating one made it even more frightening.

However, Di Jiu was trying to attack the thunder streak by using the saber. He was literally trying to kill himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Crack! Crack!

Jie Huang’s theory was absolutely right. The thunder streaks indeed grew in size. He could feel the menacing killing aura of the thunder streaks clearly, even though he was standing far away.

What made Jie Huang even more dumbfounded was that Di Jiu did not even dodge the terrifying Thunder Tribulation Streaks. Why was Di Jiu being so harsh with himself?

It was not that Di Jiu did not want to dodge. He actually was surprised. When the Thunder Tribulation became more powerful due to his attack, a cracking sound was heard from his Spiritual Sea, which expanded instead of exploding. His Spiritual Sea broke out of the level-four Immortal Force and reached the level-five Immortal Force.

Right after Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea reached level five, the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hand started to make a clear ringing sound. Meanwhile, it was upgraded to a middle-grade immortal weapon.

Jie Huang, who could feel that the Heavenly Aqua Saber in Di Jiu’s hand had transformed into a middle-grade immortal weapon, finally understood the horror of the saber. Even his father did not have such a Dharma treasure. Thus, he did not believe that it was a treasure that could be upgraded anytime soon. He had actually wanted to give Big Brother a Dharma treasure because he’d thought that Di Jiu was poor! How embarrassing!

No wonder Big Brother always carried that saber on his back, no matter where he went. If Jie Huang had such a cool treasure, he would do the same.

However, Di Jiu carried the Heavenly Aqua Saber on his back so that it would absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth, unlike what Jie Huang thought.

The fourth wave of Thunder Tribulation streaks weakened because Di Jiu did not slam it by using the Heavenly Aqua Saber consistently while his Spiritual Force was being upgraded. The thunder in the void disappeared without a trace and Di Jiu transcended the Thunder Tribulation.

“Big Brother, what kind of Thunder Tribulation were you transcending?” Jie Huang asked hurriedly when he saw Di Jiu landing on the flying boat after changing clothes.

“The Thunder Tribulation of the Great Unity Immortal. My cultivation experience is not as high as yours.” Di Jiu laughed.

Di Jiu was in a good mood, as his biggest reward this time was having the Ninth Dao law in his Spiritual Sea once again. In addition, his cultivation experience had increased significantly and his Dao fire had also been upgraded by two levels.

Jie Huang curled his lips when he saw Di Jiu, who was still at an early stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. He did not believe Di Jiu’s words. He finally understood that Di Jiu definitely had not thrown the Immortal King out of the Great Fortune Inn by confining him with a confinement array. Big Brother’s cultivation experience was so impressive that he must have locked the Immortal King’s cultivation experience by using the Essence Energy Palm before throwing him out.

“This has been a fruitful experience for everyone. Let’s go and find the Almighty Universe Cave Abode.” Di Jiu, who was overjoyed, drove the flying boat and left this place.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was far stronger than Jie Huang’s. Therefore, the speed of the flying boat increased significantly under his control. This made Jie Huang more certain that he was right. Di Jiu’s cultivation experience was far higher than his, so Di Jiu was probably an Immortal King.

It would have taken Black Fire almost a year to reach the destination if it had driven the flying boat. However, it took Di Jiu only three months.

“Big Brother, there is nothing here.” Jie Huang was puzzled by the void in front of his eyes.

This place was indeed correct according to the void marked on the ancient turtle shell. However, there was not even a single piece of meteorite there. It was nothing but an ordinary void.

If Di Jiu had been an ordinary cultivator, he would definitely have thought that there was nothing in this place and regarded it as a typical vast void.

However, Di Jiu was now a level-eight Immortal Array Supremacy. Although his Spiritual Force was rather weak, it was very condensed. Thus, it noticed the special part of this place after one hour.

There seemed to be a concealed array door that remained perfect despite the long years of wear and tear.

“There is an invisible array door here that an ordinary immortal array master would have a hard time identifying. Unfortunately, I did not bring one of my array flags. Hence, I need to spend more time here,” Di Jiu explained.

If he’d had the Floating Flame Flag, it would have taken him a maximum of two hours to open the array door. However, he needed a few days to open the array door now.

“Big Brother, are you also an Immortal Array Great-Master?” As Jie Huang looked at Di Jiu, he started wondering whether he was a genius.

Di Jiu laughed and took out an array flag straightaway before he started setting the array up. He did not demoralize Jie Huang because he was an Immortal Array Supremacy instead of an Immortal Array Great-Master.

“Big Brother, there is a fellow in the Immortal Land of Moyi with a White Cloud Bound Flag. We would definitely be able to uncover the array door if we took that flag.” Jie Huang started pretending to be knowledgeable when he saw Di Jiu setting up the array.

Di Jiu stopped what he was doing and looked at Jie Huang excitedly. “Who has the White Cloud Bound Flag?”

The White Cloud Bound Flag was one of the Five Direction Flags. Thus, the light from providence would be ensured more quickly in the western immortal land if he could get the flag.

“Sect Master Xiling Yuanyi from the Buzhou Immortal Sect, also known as Immortal Emperor Yuanyi in the Immortal Land of Moyi. His son is called Xiling Pu. He is the person I asked you to help me kill,” Jie Huang said in anguish.

“Xiling Pu was the one who harmed you?” Di Jiu asked.

Jie Huang nodded. “I have recovered now. Judging by my cultivation speed when I am with you, Big Brother, I will be able to finish him off in 100 years.”

“What is Xiling Pu’s cultivation experience?” Di Jiu asked.

“I guess he is around the eight-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal now. This fellow will probably reach the Immortal King Realm after 100 more years.” Jie Huang sighed.

If his cultivation speed was as fast as that of the Wood Origin aura, he would probably only need ten years to become an Immortal King. However, he knew very well that this was impossible.

Di Jiu mocked Jie Huang. “You are only a fourth-stage Grand Zenith Immortal. You will need 100 more years to teach a Zenith Heaven Immortal a lesson. How dare you have the cheek to say this?”

In the past, Di Jiu would not have dared to say such a thing. However, now that he had the Ninth Dao law, Jie Huang would not need 100 years to become an Immortal King if he cultivated with Di Jiu.

Besides, Xiling Pu might not be able to become an Immortal King in 100 years.

Jie Huang stared blankly at Di Jiu. He suddenly felt embarrassed about his cultivation experience, which he usually took pride in. Big Brother seemed to think quite highly of him. He definitely could not say that he would not make it. Otherwise, even Little Black Fire and Tiny Tree Root would look down on him.

Di Jiu continued throwing array flags out and did not ask anything else about the White Cloud Bound Flag. He had to get the flag. Now that Jie Huang was his brother, he would help Jie Huang take revenge on Xiling Pu for plotting against him and get the flag at the same time.

Di Jiu would not have given up on the White Cloud Bound Flag even if Jie Huang had not had a feud with Xiling Pu. He would have just used something else to trade with Xiling Pu. After all, this treasure was a connate treasure to Xiling Pu, but to Di Jiu, it was an important treasure that controlled the light from providence.
