Chapter 474: Merging Principal Spirit and Physical Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Di Jiu, what cultivation level are you at?” Zhong Ao, who had seen Kong Xiangxin turn into blood mist because of Di Jiu’s fist move, asked in amazement.

“I’ve already become an Immortal Supremacy. How are you doing?” Di Jiu chuckled, very satisfied with his cultivation level improvement.

This was mainly thanks to the blue shards and the dozen-feet Green Essence Energy Meridian he had taken from the Brilliant Lake Palace.

Zhong Ao sighed. “Luckily, you’ve helped me find my physical body. Otherwise, I would have been screwed. Since I was plotted against, I can’t use this physical body anymore. The meridians are completely broken, and the poison has completely seeped into my meridians and physical body.”

Di Jiu knew why Zhong Ao had ended up like this. Zhong Ao had done this on his own, even though he had been plotted against. He did not even cherish this current physical body. If he had, he would not have ended up like this.

However, Zhong Ao could not be blamed, as he had already found his own physical body. Why would he care about this physical body made of low-level immortal material? In his eyes, his current physical body was just a transition.

“Let’s find a place. I want to merge my Principal Spirit and physical body. Then, we could find the Thunder Emperor together.” Zhong Ao snorted. The Immortal Emperor was a nobody in his eyes, yet he had not only plotted against him but also chased after him. How could he not take revenge?

“Old Zhong, you’ve found the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith?” Di Jiu asked in amazement.

Zhong Ao chuckled and grabbed a jade bottle before saying, “Look, this is the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith... What’s wrong?”

Before Zhong Ao could finish, he looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. However, there was some loathing in Di Jiu’s eyes. His cultivation level had suffered damage, and he had lost more than half of his memory.

“Old Zhong, even though I don’t know how you got this 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith, there are some problems with it.” Di Jiu was familiar with all kinds of Foundation Orders. When his Spiritual Force landed on the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith, he sensed the presence of poison in it. This was a unique nomological aura, so Di Jiu did not see it the first time.

Zhong Ao shook his head. “That is not possible. I’ve seen the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith before. To be honest, it’s not anything good...”

Zhong Ao had already opened the jade bottle while talking. Immediately, his face turned ugly. This was the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith in his hands, but it had already been seeped by a highly toxic poison. He had not discovered this previously, yet thanks to Di Jiu’s warning, he took it in his hands and immediately discovered that there was a problem with it.

Zhong Ao felt great hatred. He had been plotted against and gotten seriously injured for this 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith. However, what he had obtained in the end was fake. He could no longer take it.

“Wait a moment. Pass it to me...” Di Jiu hurriedly stopped Zhong Ao when he saw that he was about to throw it away.

Zhong Ao handed it over to Di Jiu doubtfully. “Di Jiu, this poison does not spread immediately. It moves slowly. You don’t have any use for it. Such a poison can’t be separated.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “Just because other people can’t separate it, that doesn’t mean I can’t either.”

Di Jiu took out the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith, which floated before him. His Spiritual Force permeated it, and nomological auras integrated into it one after another.

In just 10 seconds, Di Jiu once again used dozens of mysterious, esoteric hand seals and produced something colorless and odorless.

Di Jiu stored it in the original jade bottle and took out another jade bottle to store the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith now that its poison had been removed. He handed it over to Zhong Ao and said, “It’s done.”

“You removed the poison just like that?” Zhong Ao asked in disbelief as he took the jade bottle. His Spiritual Force immediately confirmed that the poison had indeed been removed from the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith.

“That’s right. You can now abandon your temporary physical body and merge with your original one,” Di Jiu said with a laugh.

Zhong Ao nodded. “Your cultivation technique is indeed impressive, but I’ll tell you about that later. However, I wouldn’t dare restore my physical body here. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Where?” Di Jiu asked subconsciously.

“The Two-Realm Valley.” Zhong Ao sounded satisfied. “Although I came here and was plotted against by someone, I have obtained some useful items, like the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith and the Two-Realm Valley.”

“What kind of place is the Two-Realm Valley?” Di Jiu, who did not understand, asked.

Zhong Ao explained, “I must have come from a higher plane. If I restore my physical body in the Immortal World and its law is incomplete, I might very likely be crushed by the Heaven Earth Law. The Two-Realm Valley is rumored to be the ascension place of the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Immortal Emperors. Once their cultivation level reaches a certain degree, they can choose to ascend in the Two-Realm Valley.”

Di Jiu frowned and said, “There’s such a thing? If there really is an ascension place in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, why don’t people go over to ascend?”

Yin Wushang, Ye Xi, and Jie Di were peak Immortal Emperors. Di Jiu did not believe that these people would stay in the Immortal World if they knew there was an ascension place in the Two-Realm Valley.

Zhong Ao shook his head. “The Two-Realm Valley is only an ancient ascension place, and one is unable to ascend now. I want to restore my physical body there because I’m afraid that once I do so, my strength will grow frantically and get ripped apart by the Heaven Earth Law. The Two-Realm Valley is an ascension place, which means that if the Heaven Earth Law exceeds the limit, I will still have a chance to leave.”

“Let’s go to the Two-Realm Valley first then.” Di Jiu knew that Zhong Ao’s problem was imminent. If Qu Hen and Chen Zishun were killed, it would be no use going there. If they were not, going later would make no difference.

...

The Two-Realm Valley was indeed remote. Thanks to his speed, Di Jiu brought Zhong Ao along. They spent three days traveling to that place.

This place was somewhat similar to the place where Immortal Emperor Yi Mang gathered the light from providence that was shining in the Square Immortal Continent. The only difference was that the three sides Immortal Emperor Yi Mang had chosen were canyons, while this place only had two sides. One side led to the distant canyon, and Di Jiu could not see the end with his Spiritual Force.

He set up one Defense Array with his fastest speed possible, as well as a Confinement Killing Array. Then, he took out the Pure Yin Chaos Qi and handed it to Zhong Ao. “Old Zhong, restore your physical body quickly. Once you’ve restored it, I still have some matters I need to settle with the Thunder Emperor.”

Zhong Ao got straight to the point. He immediately grabbed numerous high-grade immortal spirit meridians and then took out his physical body...

Di Jiu did not watch Zhong Ao restore his physical body. Instead, he opened Kong Xiangxin’s ring, only to be disappointed. Besides some immortal crystals, there was only one high-grade immortal spirit meridian in her ring. Her belongings were not even worth a corner of his Quintessential World.

It looked like the Thunder Emperor was a bit stingy. Couldn’t he give his Imperial Concubine more?

After Zhong Ao started restoring his physical body, Di Jiu immediately sensed the surroundings forming a huge Immortal Spirit Qi whirlpool that was simply going to change this space.

Alarmed, Di Jiu hurriedly set up large arrays once again.

The Spirit-Gathering Array and Spirit-Hiding Array were both set up. Just in case, Di Jiu also added a Strangulation Array.

He had just set up these immortal arrays when the surrounding Immortal Spirit Qi whirlpool weakened. Di Jiu was confused. Old Zhong had merged his Principal Spirit and physical body so quickly?

Di Jiu was proficient in Foundation Order and knew very well that merging one’s Principal Spirit and physical body required a very long time. Thus, he had not rushed Old Zhong. After Old Zhong was stable, he would set up a few Defense Arrays and then head over to the Thunder Emperor.

How long had it been? Why was Old Zhong done so fast?

Di Jiu hurriedly rushed into the Defense Array, where Old Zhong was merging his physical body. He immediately saw Old Zhong’s bones shatter inch by inch. His Principal Spirit was not merging in at all and could not break free even though it wanted to.

Di Jiu immediately knew what was going on. Either the Heaven Earth Essence Energy was incomplete, or its level was too low.

“Brother Di Jiu, I don’t think I can make it. I didn’t expect to need so much Heaven Earth Essence Energy. The Immortal Spirit Qi level seems a bit low and it cannot allow me to...”

“Wait a moment...” Before Zhong Ao could finish, Di Jiu grabbed a Green Essence Energy Meridian.

The surrounding Heaven Earth Essence Energy thickened all of a sudden. Zhong Ao, who was ecstatic, said excitedly, “You’ve saved me once again. I didn’t expect you to have something with a higher level than the supreme-grade immortal spirit meridian...”

Di Jiu took out 20 high-grade immortal spirit meridians again and told him, “You better restore your body quickly. I only have one Green Essence Energy Meridian. If it’s used up and you’ve not merged your Principal Spirit and physical body, then you don’t deserve it.”

Zhong Ao’s fractured bones recovered rapidly, and his Principal Spirit and physical body slowly merged. The aura around him also gradually grew stronger.

The terrifying Essence Energy in the surroundings once again formed a huge whirlpool around Di Jiu.

Although Di Jiu did not cultivate, he could sense that his cultivation level was rising slowly. Right now, he would naturally not let such a good chance slip by. He had already watched Zhong Ao go through his most difficult times, so now he only needed time. There would not be any effect even if he made use of this small bit of terrifying Essence Energy.

Di Jiu sat down and started frantically performing Nomological Qi Circulation cultivation. In half an hour, he broke through the second-stage Immortal Supremacy and reached the third stage.

At the same time, Zhong Ao was also pleasantly surprised. He could actually sense the Heaven Earth Law aura in the space more clearly, which was better than his 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith. This made him merge his Principal Spirit and physical body more smoothly.
