Chapter 615: The Dao Fire Levels Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Blood River Dao Sect was not one of the Dao World’s Five Major Sects, nor did it cultivate any well-known genius disciples. However, no one would dare to underestimate this sect.

This was because in this sect was a Primordial Chaos expert. The sect master, Fei Wujiong, was said to be a mid-stage Primordial Chaos expert. His Dharma treasure, Blood River, was even more infamous, as it had extinguished the lives of numerous experts.

A yellow-robed Primordial Dao man hastily walked up to Fei Wujiong, bowing before declaring, “The result of the investigation is in, Sect Master. The man who severely injured Young Master most likely participated in the Great Age Elixir River Competition. The Divine Essence Pill he used came from the Great Age Elixir River. However, I have checked with the Great Age Elixir River and discovered that such a person was not a participant in the competition.”

Fei Wujiong nodded his head. “Call the Young Master over.”

Before the yellow-robed cultivator could reply, someone said, “Father, my injuries are mostly healed.”

If Di Jiu had been present as well, he would have immediately recognized the man who had just entered the room as the itinerant monk he had fought and injured.

This man had another identity: Fei Wutian, the Young Master of the Blood River Dao Sect. By looking only at their names, one would have assumed that Fei Wutian and Fei Wujiong were brothers. This was not true, however, for Fei Wutian was the only son of Fei Wujiong.

“Wutian, was that the cultivator who ambushed you in disguise?” Fei Wujiong had a significant amount of patience when dealing with Fei Wutian.

Fei Wutian nodded his head. “That’s right, Father. Thinking back now, that person must have used a disguise. It is just that his disguise technique was very remarkable.”

Upon hearing his reply, Fei Wujiong nodded his head as well. “This means that that person most likely is an alchemist who participated in the Great Age Elixir River Competition. Participating alchemists are not able to obtain several million Divine Essence Pills, no matter how big of a prize they win. In other words, the Divine Essence Pills he owns were gifted to him by the sect he was in. It is simply unheard of for a sect to have obtained several million Divine Essence Pills at the Elixir River Competition. Therefore, this person most likely cheated by taking away the pills without the organizers of the competition realizing it...”

Fei Wujiong suddenly stopped speaking with a jolt.

Then, he clenched his fists tightly. The only explanation for such a feat was that Di Jiu owned a world superior to or at least at the rank of a Five-Element World.

Fei Wutian thought of this as well and looked at his father excitedly. No matter what, being in possession of something equivalent to a Five-Element World meant that one could be almost invincible in the Dao World.

“Deacon Lu, investigate all the participating alchemists and cross-check the Divine Essence Pills they refined with the Divine Essence Pills they traded with the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion,” commanded Fei Wujiong excitedly. He was 100 percent certain he would be able to discover the identity of the cultivator who had injured his son if they had truly participated in the Great Age Elixir River Competition.

The yellow-robed deacon said, “I have already investigated this person, Sect Master. A total of 2,071 people participated in the Elixir River Competition, and I have obtained the Divine Essence Pills refined by 935 of them. I have compared these Divine Essence Pills with the person who traded with the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion and discovered the identity of that person.”

“Who was it?” inquired Fei Wutian impatiently.

The yellow-robed deacon replied, “His name is Di Jiu, and he is from the First Evolution Dao Sect.”

“One of the Five Major Sects?” Fei Wujiong immediately frowned. After all, the First Evolution Dao Sect was considered one of the Five Major Sects and was not a sect the Blood River Dao Sect could deal with easily.

The yellow-robed deacon added, “The Divine Essence Pills refined by this man all have special characteristics: The Heaven Earth Elixir Qi is extremely equal in all Divine Essence Pills, and the quality of the pills is better than everyone else’s. I suspect that he must have utilized some kind of technique to refine the Divine Essence Pill.”

“So he cheated,” murmured Fei Wujiong.

If that was the case, it signified that Di Jiu most likely owned a Five-Element World.

Then, his face hardened. “Deacon Lu, capture this man at any cost and bring him back to the Blood River Dao Sect stealthily.”

The yellow-robed deacon replied, “I’m afraid it would not be an easy task to capture this person, Sect Master. This is because Hall Master Jiang Dai of the Dai He Hall is searching for him as well. After exiting the Dao Ridge, he did not enter Jiang Dai’s Inspection Array. Hence, Jiang Dai is searching high and low for him. Moreover, this person is no longer a disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect. He disaffiliated himself from the sect before entering the Dao Ridge.”

Fei Wujiong’s expression changed a few times before he commanded, “Other people are afraid of Jiang Dai, but the Blood River Dao Sect is not. We will continue our search for Di Jiu. Do it in secrecy, however. The reason Jiang Dai is searching for Di Jiu might be because he knows Di Jiu possesses an item superior to the Five-Element World.”

...

Di Jiu did not know that Fei Wujiong was looking for him. However, even if he had known, he would have pretended otherwise. Due to his current strength, he had offended too many people. Thus, he would die if he went to the outside world again.

At that moment, he arrived at the entrance of the Vast Ruins’ second level. Then, after going underground, he set up a mass of invisibility arrays and concealment arrays before entering the Ninth World.

The first thing he did was take out his Dao fire and a bottle of fire-element Primordial Qi.

The Dao fire sensed the presence of the fire-element Primordial Qi immediately and started to burst into sparks.

The Dao fire engulfed the bottle the moment Di Jiu placed it beside the fire. In an instant, the bottle was burned into ashes and was discarded by Di Jiu. The temperature of the Dao fire then started rising continuously. The Dao fire might be Di Jiu’s, but he could still sense how frightening it was.

Half an hour passed before the churning Dao fire completely calmed down. It had previously been black, but it was now blue. Di Jiu sensed clearly that the Dao fire had gained spirituality.

He was delighted, as it had transformed into a low-grade divine flame. Without hesitation, he took out the Divine Fire Silk.

The faint-blue Dao fire expressed delight when it sensed the Divine Fire Silk and engulfed the silk immediately. One hour later, the color of the Dao fire deepened. Di Jiu was disappointed that the Divine Fire Silk had upgraded the Dao fire’s rank but not leveled it up to a middle-grade divine flame.

However, he believed that his Dao fire was much more powerful than the average middle-grade divine flame, even though it was considered a low-grade divine flame.

He took out the Nirvana Black Metal Stone, which was easily melted into liquid by the blue flame this time. Then, he threw the Heavenly Aqua Saber into the liquid formed.

The saber quickly merged with the Nirvana Black Metal Stone inside the blue Dao fire. The killing aura of the Heavenly Aqua Saber became stronger, enveloping the entire surrounding space.

Di Jiu made hand seals one after another. Meanwhile, the Nirvana Black Metal Stone slowly disappeared and the Heavenly Aqua Saber regained its form.

A day later, an inconspicuous saber appeared on Di Jiu’s palm. He stood up, swinging the Heavenly Aqua Saber down and creating a wave of violent killing intent. The lightning far away sensed this frightening saber intent and hid away subconsciously.

Good saber. Di Jiu was extremely satisfied with this saber. It had advanced to a middle-grade divine weapon from a low-grade divine weapon, but he was certain that it was considered a top-notch saber weapon among all middle-grade divine weapons.

Everything was different when the Dao fire leveled up. Di Jiu refined a cauldron of Dao Transformation divine pills immediately. He had previously been unable to refine even one high-grade divine pill, but he successfully produced nine high-class divine pills and three one-patterned divine pills now.

For the second cauldron, Di Jiu refined 12 special-class one-patterned to five-patterned divine pills.

For the third cauldron, the divine pills Di Jiu refined were all special-class and seven-patterned and above.

Di Jiu let out a long breath. He did not put the cauldron away. Instead, he continued to refine Primordial Dao divine pills.

Divine Rain Pills, Ultimate Essence Divine Pills, Profound Meridian Divine Pills...

Only one year had passed, yet Di Jiu had already refined numerous Primordial Dao divine pills. At first, they were low-class. Then, they became middle-class and high-class and later on they were all special-class.

By the time Di Jiu had used up all the level-four divine spirit herbs in his ring, he had successfully refined a Primordial Dao divine pill.

Unfortunately, he possessed very few level-five divine spirit herbs. Otherwise, he would have continued refining to obtain Primordial Chaos divine pills.
