“How do you know it so clearly?” Di Jiu looked at Zhou Bujian.

Zhou Bujian laughed self-derisively. “This was not investigated by me. It was left behind by my ancestor. No matter how genius that Jiang Tian is, he is only a disciple. After he plotted against my ancestor, he was unaware that my ancestor left behind a hint of a soul imprint on the Heaven Earth Five-Direction Flags.

Jiang Tian then planned to use the Five-Direction Flags to search for the Dharma treasure ensuring the light from providence would shine in every immortal continent of the Four Major Immortal Continents. My ancestor discovered what he planned to do, and this bastard actually wanted to strip away the light from providence shining in the Four Major Immortal Continents and form his own Dao World. Unfortunately, my ancestor was unable to stop his behavior.”

“Do you know why the Heaven Earth Five-Direction Flag scattered afterward?” Di Jiu asked.

Zhou Bujian nodded. “I know. What Jiang Tian did was so heaven-defying and despicable that he even wanted to take away the light from providence shining on the mother planet. Things backfired on him and a crack appeared in his Dao. After he realized he was going to perish, he left behind a son called Jiang Dai. His aptitude was even more heaven-defying than his father’s and he always made plans before taking any action. My ancestor’s soul imprint had already started disintegrating, so he knew he could no longer continue staying in the Five-Direction Flags to keep a close watch on Jiang Dai. Thus, his remnant soul memory returned to the cave abode he had left behind.

I only discovered this when I used my own bloodline to obtain my ancestor’s remnants. The Square Immortal Continent entered a sunset state afterward, which I suspected was Jiang Dai’s doing. The White Cloud Bound Flag that appeared on Xiling Yuanyi made me suspect the Square Immortal Continent’s issues were not caused by Jiang Dai himself but were a lesson from his father. He would rather hand it over to a puppet to get it done. Xiling Yuanyi was also Jiang Dai’s puppet but he was killed by Daoist Di.”

Di Jiu secretly nodded. Zhou Bujian’s guesses were completely right. He had not expected himself to be waiting for the fourth person who had already been killed by him. Now, he wondered which technique Jiang Dai had used to make these four people get things done for him.

He had obtained the Green Lotus Flag from Ye Xi and it seemed like he had guessed correctly. Ye Xi was the one Jiang Dai had left in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent to gather the light shining from providence.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bujian continued speaking. “I couldn’t observe the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent and the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. All my attention was on the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Xiling Yuanyi. Fortunately, he was killed by Daoist Di, so I have the chance to continue perfecting my Sword Dao now.”

“Daoist Zhou, how did you know there was a Teleportation Array here that was left behind by Jiang Dai?” Di Jiu asked his last question.

Zhou Bujian took out a transparent heart-shaped item and Di Jiu sensed a boundless, majestic sword intent aura. What a powerful sword intent... Di Jiu secretly admired it.

While holding onto this transparent item, Zhou Bujian said proudly, “This is the sword heart left behind by my ancestor before leaving. His Sword Dao had already reached the stage of a transparent sword heart, and he left the transparent sword heart behind. No matter how heaven-defying Jiang Tian or Jiang Dai’s aptitudes were, they learned with the Zhou Family’s Sword Dao. As long as the Jiang Family’s Dao pattern is activated in this realm, the transparent sword heart my ancestor left behind will be able to sense it.”

So this was what had happened. Di Jiu completely understood now. He had not misjudged indeed, as Zhou Bujian was not a cultivator who could destroy the light from providence in a realm.

Zhou Bujian also sensed that something was amiss while he was saying that. He put away his transparent sword heart and said in confusion, “Daoist Di, this should be the place where the Teleportation Array was left behind by Jiang Tian or Jiang Dai back then. How come nobody has come over since the Teleportation Array has been here for so long? Logically speaking, the Teleportation Array left behind was meant for the people who gathered the light from providence shining to come here. Daoist Di, you have already killed Xiling Yuanyi, so there are still some people in the few remaining immortal continents.”

Di Jiu laughed out loud. He reached out to pat Zhou Bujian and said, “Sect Master Zhou, if my guess is correct, Jiang Dai left Ye Xi in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent, Yi Mang in the Square Immortal Continent, and Li Lei in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. However, I have killed all of them. It would be strange if they came. If Jiang Dai knew these henchmen were killed by me, I wonder if he would spit out blood from anger.”

Zhou Bujian was not sure what the word ‘henchmen’ meant but he was startled by Di Jiu’s words. He then exclaimed to himself after a long while, “So that’s the case...”

“Daoist Zhou, I invited you over to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, but I’ve saved a trip by meeting you here.” Di Jiu was in a pretty good mood now.

Zhou Bujian finally reacted. What Di Jiu said was true. He thus bowed before Di Jiu in excitement. “Daoist Di, thank you.”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “It’s nothing, it’s not a big deal.”

Zhou Bujian sighed and said, “Countless cultivators in the Four Major Immortal Continents are unaware that they are still alive today thanks to you. Only a selfless person like you would not think it’s a big deal to handle such a huge matter. I, Zhou Bujian, will be looking up to your future achievements.”

Zhou Bujian then bowed before Di Jiu again. “Daoist Di, you know that the biggest enemy in my life is the Jiang Family. Although my aptitude is not bad, I know my place compared to Jiang Dai...”

Di Jiu knew what Zhou Bujian implied by bowing. He was entrusting his enemy to him. Therefore, he hurriedly stopped Zhou Bujian and said, “Daoist Zhou, you’re still lacking a lot compared to Jiang Dai, but nobody knows what will happen in the future. As for Jiang Dai, I will naturally not let him off.”

“What pointers do you have, Brother Di?” Zhou Bujian knew very well that Di Jiu’s understanding of the Dao was not something he could achieve. Mo Louxue would perhaps be very shocked by the way Di Jiu had resisted the man in black. However, Zhou Bujian thought that it was not something excessive after he recovered from his surprise.

Di Jiu muttered, “Daoist Zhou, your Sword Dao is filled with an indomitable aura. There are no twists and turns. The core is clear. I think highly of such a Sword Dao and I believe you will not be any weaker than Jiang Dai eventually. No matter how powerful or gifted Jiang Dai is, a cultivator who wants to snatch away the light from providence shining on the mother planet is just a piece of trash.”

Zhou Bujian clapped. “Not bad. I agree with you, Brother Di.”

Zhou Bujian realized that Di Jiu understood the Zhou Family’s Sword Dao the most.

Di Jiu pointed at Zhou Bujian’s ring and added, “Daoist Zhou, the transparent sword heart of your family ancestor is definitely a priceless treasure. It is very hard to leave the transparent sword heart behind when cultivating the Sword Dao now. However, I suggest that you do not study that sword heart and do not use it to model your sword heart...”

“Ah...” Zhou Bujian looked at Di Jiu in amazement. The reason he did not care about the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit was because he was certain that his sword heart could help him step out of the Immortal Emperor Realm. This sword heart had been left behind by his ancestor and was also the Sword Dao of the Zhou Family. It should be able to help him raise his cultivation level after he used it without having any side effects.

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao and was naturally aware that there would be some differences in the usage of law even if the Master had passed on the same kind of divine power to his disciple. Moreover, nothing could be more transparent than the sword heart he had condensed on his own, no matter how perfected it was.

“Brother Di, you mean that I have to condense a transparent sword heart on my own?” Zhou Bujian grew stern, as he very soon wanted to use the transparent sword heart left behind by his ancestor.

Di Jiu nodded. “Daoist Zhou, if you don’t have to face Jiang Dai as your enemy, it’s fine to condense the sword heart in any way you want. However, with him as your enemy, you have to condense a sword heart of your own and not use your ancestor’s. I still want to enlighten you on another thing. The transparent sword heart is only a unanimous pursuit of the cultivators of the Sword Dao. You might also be able to condense an even stronger sword heart than the transparent sword heart in the future and walk out of your own Sword Dao.”

Di Jiu did not say this without knowing what he was talking about. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and the more he understood the Heaven Earth Law and the more thorough it was, the more he felt he understood and realized that he knew too little. Jiang Tian was not a simple man. He was too terrifying to think of using the light from providence shining in the Four Major Immortal Continents to condense his own Dao World. He had also happened to condense the Ninth World and discover about the Dao World.

If Zhou Bujian could not condense his own powerful sword heart, he would only face death upon meeting Jiang Dai in the future.

Zhou Bujian understood and bowed before Di Jiu for the third time. “Thank you, Brother Di. I understand.”

Di Jiu took out a jade box and handed it to Zhou Bujian. “This is a Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit. You might be able to use this when you condense your sword heart later on. I’ll give this to you. I invited you to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for this matter as well, so you don’t have to go over anymore.”

COMMENT

He was sure that Zhou Bujian did not entirely understand what he meant but he did not continue. Saying it on his own and allowing Zhou Bujian to be enlightened were two different things.

Without his ancestor’s transparent sword heart, this Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit Di Jiu gave him was an indispensable treasure for Zhou Bujian. He could not reject such a thing. Thus, he hurriedly took it and expressed his gratitude.

“Old Zhou, I have another reason for making you condense your own sword heart. I reckon that Jiang Dai will not let your family off. You can only condense your own sword heart so that you have the qualifications to face him. I’ll be leaving, but we shall see each other again.” Di Jiu then cupped his fists, stretched his body, and left.

He had obtained the items from Dai He Hall and he needed to hurry back to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
