Chapter 395: A Promise

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array was considered a formidable major array of the universe. This was why Di Jiu would not be capable of saving the Golden Dao Law, no matter what method he chose to use.

Fortunately, the Fire Origin Pearl was missing from this Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array. Thanks to its absence, the prowess of the array was weakened by more than 100 million times.

Imagine an enclosed pentagonal metal box with a thickness of 100 feet that’s filled with water. It would be impossible to obtain the water inside if an external force was not exerted on it. The water would flow out if one side of this box suddenly disappeared.

If there was even a bean-sized hole in the box, the box would no longer be able to hold any water.

In other words, the Golden Dao Law would not have been able to transmit an SOS to Di Jiu if the Fire Origin Pearl had still been present. It was exactly because the Fire Origin Pearl was missing that Di Jiu had been able to enter the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array through the fire-element position.

Di Jiu’s original plan had been to create a Major Ignition Array to lure away all the fire-element aura present at the fire-element position. Only then would there be a loophole in the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array.

He gave up on this idea upon seeing that Black Fire and his blue flame, as well as Di Jiu’s own Dao fire and Void Gray Flame, could all absorb the Fire Origin of the fire-element position.

Under the circumstances, he would leave them here to absorb the Fire Origin. Perhaps, even he could absorb it for cultivating purposes.

Di Jiu attempted to do so immediately. He did not possess a flame body, nor did he possess a heaven-defying aptitude like Black Fire. Thus, he could only sit some distance away and absorb the Fire Origin aura.

Di Jiu did not know what exactly his Spirit Root was. However, he was able to absorb any kind of Essence Energy, including the Thunder Origin and the Ice Origin.

Upon entering the fire-element position to absorb the Fire Origin and cultivate, he was pleasantly surprised. He understood why both Black Fire and his Dao fire had been frantically rushing inside, which was unfathomable even though the Fire Origin Pearl was absent. The Fire Origin Essence Energy there was the purest, and its laws were the clearest. He even sensed vaguely that the level of the Fire Origin aura here had surpassed that of the Immortal World.

Less than a month passed before Di Jiu advanced from the third-stage to the fourth-stage Immortal Lord Realm.

Di Jiu, who had originally been sitting as far away as possible, had now rushed to the very front. The fire-element position, which was obstructing him from entering the array, became the most ideal Spirit Origin for his cultivation.

The Dao fire and Black Fire did not stand on ceremony, as even Boss was seizing the Fire Origin to cultivate.

Two more months passed. Just as Di Jiu attained the fifth-stage Immortal Lord Realm, the Dao fire was upgraded to a level-eight immortal flame and the Void Gray Flame became a level-six immortal flame. Black Fire underwent another Thunder Tribulation and became a level-five immortal demon beast. His blue flame also became a level-six immortal flame.

The Golden Dao Law, which was trapped a long distance away, was despondent. It had invited Di Jiu to help it, yet it had been forgotten as Di Jiu, along with a few sidekicks, had started to frenetically absorb the Fire Origin and cultivate.

“Big Brother, the Fire Origin has been used up.” Black Fire spoke up after an unknown period of time had passed, just as Di Jiu sensed that his cultivation speed had plummeted suddenly.

Di Jiu also sensed that the pure Fire Origin Essence Energy, which was nomologically clear, had disappeared without a trace. There was some fire-element aura present, but it was completely unrelated to the Fire Origin.

However, Di Jiu was not disappointed in the least. Instead, he was elated.

The formability of the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array was in how the array foundation was constituted by using origins. This was a type of array foundation that was not achievable by the average person. Even if the materials required were at hand, one would not possess the capability to create a Dao-Sealing Array.

It would not be inaccurate to say that this Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array was completely broken, given that the Fire Origin Pearl was missing and the Fire Origin had all been absorbed by them.

To enter this array, he had previously needed Black Fire’s help to rip the void open. Now, however, he could enter the array without Black Fire’s aid.

He could save the Golden Dao Law now. Just as this thought formed in his mind, he received a message from the Golden Dao Law, which was expressing its delight that a portion of the Dao engravings restricting its body had loosened. It could start fighting against the bindings with all its might now.

The reason the Golden Dao Law had yet to start struggling was because it was waiting for Di Jiu.

Di Jiu replied to the Golden Dao Law and set a time to start ripping the multi-colored Dao engravings on its body apart simultaneously.

Crack! Crack! Several hundred consecutive cracking sounds could be heard as the Dao engraving restrictions binding the Golden Dao Law started disintegrating one after another. However, a few restrictions remained unscathed.

As the origin of all Dao laws, the Golden Dao Law informed Di Jiu immediately that, given his current strength, it would take him at least a century before he could completely remove the rest of the Dao engraving restrictions binding the Golden Dao Law. This was despite the fire-element array foundation’s absence from the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array. The reason was because fire-element essence was still present in the air. This essence might be extremely weak, but it provided the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array with some strength nonetheless.

The only thing Di Jiu could do was remove one more origin array foundation.

Di Jiu frowned. Many unexpected things could occur in 100 years, and Mo Yuxuan could not wait that long. Moreover, no one could be sure that the creator of this major array would not return during that period. There was absolutely no way Di Jiu would be able to fend off that person.

As Di Jiu was hesitating, he received another message from the Golden Dao Law, stating that there was a Creation Wood Branch within the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array. The Creation Cauldron Di Jiu possessed was made out of Creation Wood as well. Should he take the Creation Cauldron out, under normal circumstances, the Creation Wood Branch would definitely struggle free from its shackles to seek the Creation Cauldron out.

The Creation Wood was the wood used in the creation of the universe. The only reason it was utilized as an array foundation was because the main body of the Creation Wood had long since been fragmented. A wood that had existed since the beginning of time would absolutely be unwilling to be used by people as an array foundation.

Di Jiu trusted the Golden Dao Law’s judgment and took the Creation Cauldron out immediately. He was helpless in this, as the Golden Dao Law was well-aware of what items he possessed exactly.

Just as the Golden Dao Law had expected, as soon as the Creation Cauldron was taken out, the entire Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array started shaking violently. Even the Dao engraving restrictions binding the Golden Dao Law started to pulsate.

By using the Creation Cauldron as a compass, Di Jiu quickly found where the Creation Wood Branch was placed. A feet-long blue tree branch was viciously struggling in mid-air as though it wanted to rush toward the Dao-Sealing Array. Unfortunately, other than sealing the Dao law, the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array had also sealed the five elements.

At the moment, Di Jiu felt extreme admiration for the person who had taken the Fire Origin Pearl away, for such a feat was simply too heaven-defying. Taking away the Fire Origin Pearl when the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array was complete and taking away the Creation Wood Branch when one of the elements was missing were completely different.

The only thing Di Jiu failed to understand was why the person who had taken away the Fire Origin Pearl had not taken the other items as well.

While he dealt with the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array, even though the array was incomplete, Di Jiu could only wait for the Creation Wood Branch to break free. There was nothing he could do.

If he dared to approach any of the metal, wood, water or earth positions of the array, he would be killed.

He sensed an indistinct Dao law aura. Di Jiu had gleaned understanding from numerous Foundation Orders, so he could easily understand what this particular aura meant.

This aura evidently came from the struggling Creation Wood Branch, which expressed its desire and begged Di Jiu to stop using the Creation Cauldron for practicing alchemy.

Di Jiu was taken aback. The Creation Wood might be a heaven-defying Connate item, but it was still a wood-element tree branch. No wood would wish to be burned by fire all day.

Di Jiu was not the one who had refined the Creation Cauldron, yet he felt a sense of regret and shame. He faced the position of the Wood Origin array foundation and said in a loud and clear voice, “I promise that, from now on, I will not use the Creation Cauldron to refine any elixirs.”

He did not take an oath, but he would stick to his word. After all, through using the Creation Cauldron, he had gained a lot of knowledge and refined many elixirs over a long period of time. In the future, should there be the opportunity to do so, he would help the Creation Cauldron rebuild the Creation Wood’s main body.

Such a feat was very difficult, as his blacksmithing skills had to be more powerful than the skills of the fella who had refined the Creation Cauldron. Only then would he be able to remove the restrictions engraved within the cauldron.

Di Jiu looked on in shock as an explosion occurred at the wood-element array foundation when he made this promise. The blue tree branch exploded into pieces, leaving behind a piece the size of a thumb that rushed over and entered the Creation Cauldron Di Jiu was holding.

The Wood Origin array foundation of the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array collapsed following the destruction of the Creation Wood Branch.

Di Jiu could clearly see that the Dao engravings binding the Golden Dao Law had started to crack and explode. An instant before the Golden Dao Law tried to escape from its bindings, Di Jiu rushed ahead, grabbed hold of the Universe Membrane fragment floating in mid-air, and placed it inside his ring.

Crack! The Golden Dao Law finally broke free from its shackles.

Before Di Jiu could begin searching for the Breathing Earth, the Five-Element Holy Water and so on, the few flares surrounding the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array instantly escaped into the void and disappeared.

Di Jiu was filled with regret. However, he had fortunately acted fast and grabbed hold of the Universe Membrane fragment, or it would have disappeared as well.

The Golden Dao Law did not escape. Instead, it stopped and floated in front of Di Jiu.

Di Jiu sniggered silently. He knew that the Golden Dao Law still possessed some principles. Now that he had taken the Universe Membrane fragment away, the Golden Dao Law might follow him. However, the Dao law would still be considered his possession.

The level of this Golden Dao Law was simply too high, so Di Jiu knew that he was not capable of stopping it. Therefore, he did not even bother attempting to do so. After transmitting a message to Little Tree, he rushed over to where the wood-element position was and repeatedly threw out array flags.

The Creation Wood Branch had not escaped. Instead, it had self-exploded, resulting in the extreme denseness of the Wood Origin aura in that area. He informed Little Tree to come over and cultivate after he had used Defense Arrays to trap this aura.
