Chapter 363: The Liberal Gigantic Tripod

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This time around, Di Jiu had spent quite a long time in cultivation. Plus, he had used the Universe Membrane fragment to help his body transcend nirvana before. Thus, he easily brought on the Dark Immortal Thunder Tribulation just by using a Darkglow Elixir.

Di Jiu only now realized the real advantages of having an Immortal Spirit Body. The most that the dense and mighty Thunder Tribulation streaks could do to Di Jiu as they struck against his body was tear open a wound. They were nothing compared to the Thunder Nets and pillars on the Thunderous Floating Island. Plus, they were far from able to seriously injure Di Jiu.

After nine waves of Thunder Tribulation, Di Jiu broke through to the first-stage Immortal Lord Realm with ease. Ever since he had started to experience Thunder Tribulations, this had been the easiest time for him.

Ever since Di Jiu had acquired the Starry Sky meridian, he had rarely stayed stagnant at a particular stage of a realm after Tribulation Transcendence. This was because his Starry Sky meridian was extremely aggressive when it came to absorbing both the Spirit Qi and the Immortal Spirit Qi. After each Tribulation Transcendence, Di Jiu’s surroundings would become a huge Essence Energy whirlpool.

This time, however, Di Jiu didn’t ascend to the second-stage Immortal Lord Realm, since he had attained the Immortal Lord Realm. He merely stayed stagnant at the first stage. His Spiritual Force, on the other hand, had become much more condensed. It was only a small step away from a breakthrough from the level-four Immortal Force.

Although Di Jiu felt regretful that he didn’t achieve an Immortal Force breakthrough, what he was most worried about now was whether he would find the Agama True Glazed Water fast enough.

After he had attained the first-stage Immortal Lord Realm, he had become several times faster by executing the Spiritual Force escape technique in the void compared to doing so in a middle-grade immortal weapon like the flying boat. The only difficult part was that Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force got used up very easily, since he had to continuously execute the Spiritual Force escape technique. There was only one word to describe this feeling—tiring.

However, Di Jiu got a surprise a month later.

After he exhausted all of his Spiritual Force by executing the Spiritual Force escape technique, he used the Spiritual Force Training Art to temper his Spiritual Force. Thereafter, his Spiritual Force leveled up extremely quickly. The Spiritual Force Training Art and the Spiritual Force escape technique were indeed born to complement each other. One would become tempered and mighty when the other was exhausted.

Three months passed, yet Di Jiu still couldn’t advance his Spiritual Force to a level-four Immortal Force.

What made him happier than having a level-four Immortal Force was that a tiny, bright spot had finally appeared on his jade slip. Di Jiu was sure that this bright spot was the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.

Everything was good now that he could see the location of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. Worst-case scenario, he would be hurrying along endlessly in the void without knowing where the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City actually was.

Thereafter, Di Jiu always used the Spiritual Force escape technique to travel. Each time his Spiritual Force got depleted, he would execute the Spiritual Force Training Art to both restore and temper his Spiritual Force and Spiritual Sea.

He hurried on for two more months in the void in this manner. Then, he slowed down and took out a low-grade immortal weapon flying boat. An outline of the vast Immortal City had by now appeared in his Spiritual Force. Thus, he could no longer use the Spiritual Force escape technique.

This time around, Di Jiu didn’t dare let Little Tree and Mo Yuxuan come out. After all, Mo Yuxuan was a disciple from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. Nobody could be sure that she wouldn’t be recognized by somebody in a place like the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.

Boom! Di Jiu had just reached the perimeter of the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City when he saw two cultivators fighting in the void.

Di Jiu possessed a level-four Immortal Force. Such a Spiritual Force was no weaker than the Spiritual Force of a Zenith Heaven Immortal. However, he wanted to turn away and leave when he saw one of the cultivators who were fighting. He was Pang Qian. Di Jiu was sure that Pang Qian had gone there in pursuit of him.

Black Fire had committed a big wrong this time. He had actually made an Immortal King chase after him for many years. Now, the Immortal King was actually waiting for him outside the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City. Fortunately, Di Jiu had seen Pang Qian, so at least he was prepared. The vast void was so huge that it would be hard for Pang Qian to catch him as long as he continued to execute the Spiritual Force escape technique. He just needed to disguise himself before returning. He certainly wasn’t going to give up on the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.

However, Di Jiu quickly stopped what he was doing. Pang Qian was obviously losing. The man in black, whom Pang Qian was fighting against, was vicious and ruthless. Each time Pang Qian attempted to run away, he was restrained by that man.

Suddenly, a bloody mist exploded. The place between Pang Qian’s eyes was ripped by his opponent’s divine power. Pang Qian’s Principal Spirit went into a daze when it saw Di Jiu the moment it dashed out.

He had been waiting here for Di Jiu for more than a year now. He hadn’t expected that his wait would finally end just before he died.

Boom! A flame exploded on Pang Qian’s Principal Spirit and blasted Pang Qian into nothingness before he could retaliate.

Di Jiu did what the rest of the cultivators did. He stood in the distance and didn’t move. Only after the cultivator in black left with Pang Qian’s ring did Di Jiu head toward the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, just like the other cultivators.

There was no discussion about Pang Qian’s death. It was almost as if an Immortal King’s murder was a trivial matter there. This put Di Jiu on guard. It was obvious that the public security outside the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City was not much better than that in the Sunset Immortal World.

Nobody could see Di Jiu’s cultivation level. Thus, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he thought that he might as well display his first-stage Immortal Lord strength.

He had been leading a vagrant life in the void for so many years that his hair and beard had grown long. However, he didn’t groom himself. Instead, he planned to assume the identity of an Itinerant Cultivator who had spent a long time wandering around in the void.

He almost didn’t need to disguise himself after roaming around in the void for such a long time. Plus, he had come from the Sunset Immortal World. Although Di Jiu wasn’t old, he had a vague aura of the vicissitudes of the void. This void vicissitude aura was unique and found only in cultivators who wandered in the void. It wasn’t something that one could develop easily.

Di Jiu stopped on a huge square spanning across a few hundred miles. There was a void white-jade array path 10,000 feet wide at the edge of the square. This array path slanted upward endlessly.

Di Jiu followed the many cultivators who had come from the void as they walked for nearly an hour along this path, which slanted upward, before he vaguely saw a huge Immortal City gate amidst the arrays.

There were four big, black words formed by array formations in the sky above the city gate—”The Liberal Gigantic Tripod”.

This was definitely a level-nine Immortal Array. Di Jiu was a level-seven Immortal Array King. Although he was unable to set such an array up, he was able to tell that it was a level-nine Immortal Array.

There was a circular, indented void platform there. On it was a row of words—”Exchange Corner for Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City Identification Cards- 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals each”.

Di Jiu saw someone place 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals in the indentation. Immediately, a black jade card popped out of the indentation.

Di Jiu walked over when that person left. He threw 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals into the indentation and another black jade card popped out. This card was similar to the identification card of the Starry Sky Immortal City. Everybody in the Starry Sky Immortal City had to have an identification card to enter and leave the city.

Di Jiu took four identification cards in one go. His Spiritual Force entered one of the identification cards as he put the other three away.

Very soon, he realized that one could simply engrave any name on the identification card, which also contained Gigantic Tripod Liberal points.

He hadn’t entered the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City yet. Therefore, he had zero Liberal points.

This was followed by a brief introduction, which Di Jiu read in detail. He expected that he would have to stay in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for quite some time, so he had to understand the introduction very well. This place was just like his Starry Sky Immortal City, where there were many rules and regulations.

Within a few breaths’ time, Di Jiu understood some basic laws of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

The City Lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was called Mi Ji. He was the man who commanded the most authority in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City.

The most widely circulated things in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City were immortal crystals and Gigantic Tripod Liberal points. 100 high-grade immortal crystals could be exchanged for one Liberal point. Based on this, one could see the importance of Liberal points. The Liberal points were recorded on the identification jade card, which was divided into different levels. The lowest level was Di Jiu’s current level—the black card.

When the Liberal points used in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City accumulated to a certain extent, the identification jade card would change color. The list of colors included black, gray, white, silver, blue, purple, and gold.

Fighting was prohibited in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. If fighting was absolutely necessary, it could only be done in two ways. The first way was to go fight on the Gigantic Tripod Liberal arena. The second way was to get out of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, just like the individuals Di Jiu had seen just now. Nobody cared if people fought to their death, so long as they didn’t fight within the city.

Di Jiu was actually more concerned about the fact that the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City imposed a tax on its residents.

Every person had to pay 10 high-grade immortal crystals every day if they didn’t own a cave abode in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Anyone who had bought a cave abode for cultivating only needed to pay a one-time flat fee.

Di Jiu sighed to himself. If he hadn’t had immortal crystals on him, he might not have been able to even afford to sleep on the streets of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu secured the identification card on his waist as he entered the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He was silently in awe of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s majestic aura.

He had been to the Outer Tripod Void City before. Although both were void cities, the Outer Tripod felt like a tiny corner in the countryside compared to the Gigantic Tripod. Not only was its Immortal Spirit Qi mottled, but the buildings in the city were also a mess.

The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City had obviously been planned using scientific methods. Not only were its streets wide and spacious, but the commercial buildings and cave abodes were also closely arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the streets. They looked neat and the place exuded an aura of grandness. Its Immortal Spirit Qi was also thick. Thus, it didn’t seem overly expensive to pay 10 high-grade immortal crystals each day.

The streets were also busy. Large numbers of cultivators were always passing through.

What shocked Di Jiu even more was that he had already seen several Immortal Kings who dominated the Immortal World. He couldn’t even tell the strength some of them possessed. Thus, they were obviously superior to Immortal Kings.

He was really a nobody in a place like this.
