Chapter 908: That Is Because You’re Not Strong Enough

Except for the two Protectors and a few Court Masters, nobody knew that Di Jiu had left the Great Ultimate Realm.

He had taken with him four Five-Element Flags. The Great Ultimate Realm’s protection Dharma treasure was the Yin-Yang Taijitu, which he would take back and implant into the realm.

However, before leaving this realm, Di Jiu had decided to wipe out the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean’s Bei Family. Thus, he had left the Great Ultimate Realm and gone to the Immortal World. This was not just walking between realms, but walking from a high-level realm to a low-level realm. It was even related to the plane.

Even Di Jiu couldn’t be sure whether he could make it on time after leaving or know when he would return. Therefore, he had to get rid of this time bomb called the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be relieved after leaving.

It would be best to find a few helpers to get rid of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. However, he couldn’t contact two of these helpers. One of them was Dao Lord Po Xu, while the other was Zuo Zhongren. Dao Lord Po Xu had just reached the Dao Integration Realm. When Po Xu reached the third step, he would probably be much stronger than Zuo Zhongren.

At the thought of Dao Lord Po Xu and Zuo Zhongren, Di Jiu thought of the mysterious Ci. Both Po Xu and Zuo Zhongren were somewhat afraid of Ci. Yi Ji was also afraid of him. He wondered who Ci really was.

As though he was using telepathy, when Di Jiu thought of the mysterious Ci, his voice was heard. “Ha ha... Brother Di, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Thank you for your help this time. I will remember your friendship and I will definitely repay you in the future.”

Then, a thin Ci appeared before Di Jiu. Based on the way he had addressed Di Jiu, Ci indeed regarded Di Jiu as a good friend.

Di Jiu had always felt that Ci had become more powerful than when he had been in the Dao Abyss. If he hadn’t been meticulous, he would not have sensed Ci’s presence.

Di Jiu smiled and said with cupped fists, “It was no trouble. I consider myself fortunate to get to know a capable person like you.”

To Di Jiu’s surprise, his modesty made Ci smile and agree without minding. Clearly, Ci also felt that Di Jiu was fortunate that he had gotten to know him.

Di Jiu was somewhat speechless. Just as he was about to take his leave, Ci suddenly asked, “May I ask where Brother Di wants to go?”

Di Jiu was not hiding the fact that he was going to wipe out the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Thus, he answered straightforwardly, “A few cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean have offended me. This time, I’m going to end the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Brother Ci, we’ll part ways here. We’ll have a cup of tea when there is time in the future.”

Ci listened to Di Jiu in a daze. After some time, he said while giving him a thumbs-up, “Brother Di, I had misunderstood some things before. I thought you were someone who compromised. I didn’t expect you to be so frank.”

Indeed, Ci thought that Di Jiu was frank now that he had told him that he wanted to get rid of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.

Di Jiu, who was caught between tears and laughter, could only say, “In general, it’s better to compromise. However, my grudge with the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean is not something that could be solved by compromising. In that case, I might as well take things further.”

“You’re right,” Ci said loudly. “Brother Di, I support this. A man should be straightforward when doing things and not hesitate or hold things back. Let’s go. I’ll go with you. I have to help you with this.”

To be honest, Di Jiu disapproved of Ci’s viewpoint. He felt that a person’s EQ depended on whether they would concede. Sometimes, one needed to compromise indeed. When it came to certain matters, he didn’t feel embarrassed to compromise, which showed his EQ.

It was like being bitten by a dog. Would he bite back? Generally, if he was bitten by a dog, Di Jiu wouldn’t care. He would kill it only when the dog threatened his life. This was simple and direct.

Too many sects and cultivators had offended him in the Cultivation World, the Immortal World, and the Dao World. However, he hadn’t killed them all. When his strength rose, the sects who wanted to kill him would have to agree with him because they were no longer at the same level as him.

Why should an expert waste so much time on a weakling? Actually, this was the reason: Those who were offended had to retaliate. They wanted to let those nobodies know that they were the true experts because they were not strong enough yet.

As his cultivation level improved, he cared less about the insignificant people who had offended him. However, if he didn’t wipe out the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, the Great Ultimate Realm might be wiped out instead. Hence, he wanted to wipe that family out. Besides, the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean was not a weakling in terms of power compared to him.

Di Jiu actually hadn’t planned to invite Ci to come along, but he changed his mind when he thought of Ci’s mysteriousness and said, “Thank you, Brother Ci. However, I only know the approximate location of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean...”

Before Di Jiu could finish his speech, Ci laughed, gestured with his hand, and said, “Brother Di, it’s only the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. I know about it. In fact, there isn’t a place I don’t know about in the universe. Let’s go. I’ll lead the way.”

...

Di Jiu followed Ci. At first, Ci wasn’t very fast. However, after the two of them entered the void deeply, Ci got increasingly faster.

Regardless of how fast Ci was, he had Dao rune fluctuation in this space, which made it easy for Di Jiu to locate him.

Di Jiu’s most formidable divine power was not an offensive technique but an escape technique. Regardless of how fast Ci was, Di Jiu only used his Spiritual Force escape technique but could easily catch up.

After the two of them ran for a day, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force escape technique couldn’t catch up to Ci’s speed. Di Jiu was very surprised by that. He had seldom used the Spiritual Force escape technique, but that didn’t mean that his Spiritual Force escape technique was slow. It was just that his nomological escape technique was much faster than the Spiritual Force escape technique. He hadn’t expected that he would meet someone faster than his Spiritual Force escape technique. Indeed, Ci was really mysterious.

Although his Spiritual Force escape technique couldn’t catch up with Ci, this wasn’t due to his Spiritual Force escape technique. It was because his cultivation level was weaker than Ci’s, which showed how superior Ci’s escape technique was.

In fact, Ci was more shocked than Di Jiu. In his opinion, Di Jiu’s cultivation technique was extraordinary. Otherwise, he couldn’t have taken them away from the Dao Abyss or rushed out of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Plus, he knew very well that Di Jiu’s combat power was very strong. This was because Di Jiu’s Dao was so powerful that it couldn’t be weaker than his Creation cultivation technique. At the same time, Di Jiu had a huge top-notch secret. However, Di Jiu’s cultivation level should be at the early-stage Dao Integration, which he could still see.

If an early-stage Dao Integration cultivator could use an escape technique to catch up with him, that would definitely not be simple. Many people thought that his true power was being vicious. In fact, his grand ability was his escape technique.

Just as Ci was ready to slow down, he was shocked to find out that Di Jiu’s speed had risen to another level. In other words, Di Jiu had not given it his all yet.

What kind of escape technique was this? Ci immediately executed his escape technique to the maximum. He didn’t believe that someone with a lower cultivation level than him could catch up with his escape technique.

Very soon, Ci discovered that Di Jiu’s escape technique was stronger than his. No matter how fast he was, Di Jiu would eventually catch up. Clearly, he could surpass him at any moment.

“Brother Di, your escape technique has surpassed me. It’s the most formidable escape technique I have ever seen.” Even though Ci did not take everyone seriously, he couldn’t help but praise Di Jiu’s escape technique.

Di Jiu smiled slightly. “I’m still inferior to you.”

Ci shook his head. “I’ve never uttered ingenuine words. I’m now glad that we’re friends. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to escape from your clutches.”

Di Jiu did not answer. Although his escape technique was faster than Ci’s while Ci led the way, Di Jiu probably couldn’t chase after Ci. Just like Mercury, Ci must have the ability not to leave any traces behind after escaping.

However, Di Jiu knew that as long as he scanned Ci with his Spiritual Force, it would be hard for him to escape from his Spiritual Force. This was because he cultivated the nomological escape technique. If he knew any laws of the escape technique, nobody would be able to escape his pursuit.
