Chapter 907: The Gigantic Tripod’s Destruction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two women were standing outside the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. The woman on the left was wearing a green skirt and looked very delicate, while the woman on the right was wearing a red skirt and looked very ordinary.

The two of them stood together and looked like sisters.

“Mother, this is the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Back then, grandfather brought me here. I didn’t expect that when I left all these years ago, this place would be destroyed,” the woman in the red skirt said softly.

The two of them were Di Xiangnu and Di Qiushui, who had left the Square Immortal Continent. Ever since Di Qiushui’s husband had been killed by her mother, she had been somewhat confused. After leaving her mother, Nong Xiuqi, she had gotten even more confused. If she hadn’t met her daughter, Di Xiangnu, this time, she might have been taken advantage of long ago before being killed.

Fortunately, Xiangnu had a lot of good stuff and was Di Qiushui’s biological daughter. After the two of them had lived together for some time, Di Qiushui had gradually recovered.

“Xiangnu, you and your grandfather lived in this place?” Di Qiushui asked in confusion as she looked at the destroyed Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Xiangnu’s eyes turned red before she nodded her head. “Yes. At the time, my grandfather and I lived here together and I had a lot of friends. Big Brother Xie Huang, Elder Sister Huo Jianqian, Little Tree, Black Fire... even the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Lord, Senior Mi Ji. They were all very nice. For some reason, when I went to find grandfather and came back, this place ended up like this.”

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was deadly silent. There was nobody there. Not only did Xiangnu feel sentimental, but she was also somewhat worried. She wondered if the friends and relatives who had always taken care of her were doing well.

“Xiangnu, I want to find your grandfather. Let’s do it together.” Di Qiushui could see her daughter’s sentiment, so she didn’t want to stay there and let her daughter keep being sentimental.

Di Xiangnu agreed and added, “Mother, I want to go in and see whether the Peace Hotel is still there. I also want to see if I can discover the whereabouts of Black Fire, Little Tree, and Elder Brother Xie Huang...”

Di Qiushui looked at the destroyed Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. There was a deathly aura around, as if a wild beast had opened its mouth in the darkness and was waiting for the others to be devoured.

All these years, Di Qiushui had suffered a mental blow because her husband had been killed. Since she hadn’t felt much remorse, her cultivation had become faster. Besides, she was even more sensitive to the myriad of creatures in the world.

After finding her daughter, she had gradually recovered. However, her sixth sense hadn’t vanished.

“Xiangnu, I’ve always felt that there was something strange about the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. The people inside went missing inexplicably, which shouldn’t have happened for no reason. Why don’t we find your grandfather first? When we find him, there might be a way.” Di Qiushui looked at the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, which was filled with a deathly aura, feeling increasingly more uncomfortable.

Di Xiangnu was gentle. Even if a stranger had said that there was something strange about this Immortal City, she would not have argued, let alone when her mother had said that. Now that her mother had said this, Di Xiangnu nodded her head right away. “Yes, mother. I’ll do as you say. We will go for now. Let’s go.”

As Di Qiushui and Di Xiangnu were about to turn around, they felt a terrifying suction come from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. It was as if a huge beast had opened its mouth to devour them, just like she had felt in her subconscious.

Even though Di Qiushui and Di Xiangnu were in the Immortal Emperor cultivation realm, they still couldn’t stop such a terrifying suction. Thus, they couldn’t help but get swept toward the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, which contained a deathly aura.

“Xiangnu, you’ll leave and find your grandfather later. I...” Di Qiushui frantically swept up her Immortal Essence and tried to send Xiangnu away while she entered the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City alone.

However, Xiangnu grabbed a handful of array flags and threw them out. Then, she extended her figure as she brought Di Qiushui along and rushed toward the periphery of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City instantly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The array flags exploded, and it seemed as if this void had been torn apart. At that moment, Di Qiushui and Di Xiangnu felt their surroundings relax. Di Xiangnu brought Di Qiushui along, and the two of them turned into a shadow before they rushed out of the frantic suction’s range.

Di Xiangnu had executed her Spiritual Force escape technique to its capacity to rush out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s suction range. In the blink of an eye, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was far behind them.

After half a day, Di Xiangnu stopped before she said with lingering fear, “Mother, your guess was right. We were nearly devoured by the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.”

Di Qiushui looked at her daughter in shock and asked in disbelief, “Xiangnu, how come your Array Dao is so powerful? You still have time to analyze the Array Dao while you cultivate? You set up a top-notch Explosive Divine Array in a short time and blocked the suction, right? Also, how come your escape technique is so powerful? I’ve also cultivated to the Immortal Emperor level, but I have never seen such a powerful escape technique.”

The yearning in Di Xiangnu’s eyes was obvious. Although she couldn’t remember hatred, the person closest to her was still her grandfather, Di Jiu.

Di Qiushui understood. Without needing Xiangnu to answer, she said, “Your grandfather imparted those to you, right?”

Xiangnu nodded her head. “He did, but I didn’t set up the explosive array using the array flags. I directly activated the explosive array outside. This explosive array was set up by grandfather in the past, and he handed the array flags over to me. I didn’t expect to use it today. Also, that escape technique is called the Spiritual Force escape technique. Before grandfather left, he engraved it in my Spiritual Sea, so I achieved this result for my cultivation twice. Without grandfather, I’m afraid I would have become a skeleton and I would have never cultivated to this point.”

As Xiangnu said that, her eyes turned red. She wondered if her grandfather had been doing well all these years. Apart from this, the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City also made her feel restless. A strange thing had happened to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. She wondered if Elder Brother Xie Huang, Black Fire, and Little Tree had come out. However, her strength was limited, so she didn’t have the power to go in and take a look.

“Xiangnu, stop thinking. Let’s go and find your grandfather.” Di Qiushui was Di Xiangnu’s mother, so she naturally knew what her daughter was thinking about.

Di Xiangnu agreed. She knew that her grandfather also had a deep affection for Xie Huang, Little Tree, and Black Fire. If he knew that something had happened to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, he would definitely be very anxious.

“Mother, I’ll teach you the Spiritual Force escape technique that grandfather taught me.” Di Xiangnu knew very well that they couldn’t find her grandfather right away.

...

Crack! When Di Jiu raised his hand and easily tore open a spatial rift, he felt completely relieved. His Dao finally had an embryonic form, and his world had a fuzzy outline. When his Dao was completely formed, his world would also be truly perfected. Perhaps he would reach the third step then.

However, he needed to leave the Great Ultimate Realm now.

The Great Ultimate Realm had initially been part of the Dao foundation necessary to reach the third step. In order to save the Great Ultimate Realm, he had become friends with many people, which had made him feel deep affection in the Great Ultimate Realm.

Now that the Great Ultimate Realm was right back on track, he had to make some preparations for the third step. Since he wanted to reach the third step, he basically had to perfect his own Dao heart. He didn’t even know whether his son and daughter were alive and he had left Xiangnu in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City without taking care of her.

Besides Xiangnu, Black Fire, Little Tree, and Xie Huang were also in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Therefore, he had to leave this place to find Xiangnu, Wangchuan, Qiushui, Black Fire, and the rest and bring them to the Great Ultimate Realm.

Since her cultivation realm was much lower than Di Jiu’s, after staying with him for a few days, Nong Xiuqi entered deep seclusion. She had to increase her strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, her strength would grow further and further apart from Di Jiu’s.

As a cultivator from Earth, she always felt urgency. She sensed that the weaker her cultivation level was compared to Di Jiu’s, the further she would likely be from him in the future.
