Chapter 412: Are You Sure?

Di Jiu heaved a sigh of relief when his Spiritual Sea was finally stabilized after several days.

No matter how much he wanted his Immortal Force to attain level seven, he didn’t dare to consume the Grayish-Purple Lattice recklessly anymore. The lattice was definitely incomplete, but he didn’t know exactly what it lacked, as he couldn’t preserve it.

Di Jiu disguised himself as an average-looking, middle-aged cultivator before heading towards the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. Unlike the others, he had the Ninth Dao Law, so he could change his aura as well. There was almost zero possibility of people recognizing him as long as he didn’t get into a fight.

…

Di Jiu saw the gigantic arrest warrants before he had even reached the gates of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Both Di Jiu and Zimo were wanted. Moreover, he saw his picture printed clearly on the warrants.

Di Jiu walked towards the arrest warrant casually as if he was reading the information carefully.

“A hundred million Liberal Points?” Di Jiu exclaimed when he saw several other cultivators gathering around the warrant.

“That’s nothing. It’s a hundred million Liberal Points just for his information. If you could somehow catch this person, you wouldn’t have to worry about cultivating resources for the rest of your life.” One of the Great Unity Immortals chuckled while commenting.

Di Jiu said in a puzzled tone, “Fellow Daoist, it’s been a long time since I last came to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. What kind of intolerable offense did this Di Jiu commit to make so many powerful sects and experts issue a warrant for his arrest and offer such high compensation?”

“Haha! I heard that this man robbed an Immortal Emperor of his Time Crystal and Agama True Glazed Water and taunted several Immortal Emperor experts. He must have a death wish,” another cultivator replied with a laugh before the cultivator Di Jiu had directed his question at could even answer.

The entire Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City knew about this. It was no secret.

“Time Crystal?” Di Jiu exclaimed once again, “There are Time Crystals in our universe? That’s so amazing! A Time Crystal is a treasure meant for comprehending the divine power of time. It’s so powerful…”

As Di Jiu kept mumbling to himself, his eyes were filled with burning desire and ecstasy for the Time Crystal.

“Friend, despite its fame, the Time Crystal actually isn’t of much use.” One of the cultivators couldn’t help commenting when he saw Di Jiu’s fanatical expression.

Di Jiu put on a straight face and replied, “The Time Crystal isn’t only useful for comprehending the divine power of time law. I’ve also heard that it could be used to create a nomological world. Yet, you called it useless. To my knowledge, the Time Crystal only exists in rumors and hearsay. I really wonder where it came from.”

The last sentence expressed what Di Jiu actually wanted to know. He didn’t expect everyone to know where it came from, so he was just being cautious. Now that he had put on such a fanatical expression, no one would suspect a thing when he asked about the Time Crystal’s origins in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City later.

“He he… Comprehending the divine power of time law? There is less than 0.01% chance of doing that with a single Time Crystal. As for refining a nomological world, that is probably impossible even if you give a Time Crystal to a blacksmith. Moreover, this isn’t the first time that a Time Crystal has appeared. I’ve heard that Time Crystals have appeared thrice in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb already. I think that the Time Crystal that was auctioned in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City previously probably came from the Lunar Forsaken Tomb too…”

Di Jiu was startled to hear this. ‘I got the information I wanted so easily? Where’s the Lunar Forsaken Tomb?’ he thought to himself.

Nevertheless, he sighed and said, “I am going to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb to try my luck in the near future.”

The cultivator that Di Jiu had been talking to lost all interest in the conversation. In his opinion, Di Jiu was just a scoundrel. There were Time Crystals at the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, but could any random person obtain them? Was it possible for someone who wasn’t an Immortal Emperor to obtain Time Crystals from the Lunar Forsaken Tomb?

However, Di Jiu didn’t care. He purchased another jade identification card and entered the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

…

After four hours, Di Jiu left the city. He had already purchased a map to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb and discovered that his store had been taken over by the Great Fortune Inn. However, this wasn’t the time to do something about it. He would show them that it wouldn’t be so easy to take over the Starry Sky Tea House when he came back.

…

The Lunar Forsaken Tomb was actually an independent Star Continent. The fluctuation of laws in this kind of independent Star Continent was huge. Laws were extremely weak in some areas but tremendously powerful in other places. Cultivating in a place like this would result in Qi Deviation really easily, and this area wasn’t fit for inhabitation either. Saying that there was a huge fluctuation there was just a nice way of putting it. To be brutally honest, the laws in this place were a chaotic mess.

The messy laws gave rise to items of all levels, from common level-one and level-two spiritual herbs to top-notch immortal spiritual herbs. Even things that surpassed immortal spiritual herbs could be found there.

It was rumored that there were no boundaries in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. It contained several regions, most of which remained unexplored.

Besides the fact that it was ridiculously huge, the laws in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb were also overly messy. Excluding several relatively safer regions that had been occupied and developed, most places were too dangerous to venture into.

There were no rulers here, and all sorts of top-notch treasures popped up frequently. Therefore, it had become the favorite place of itinerant cultivators and sect disciples who wanted to try their prowess.

Di Jiu had an Ultimate Cloud Auger, so he didn’t take a flying boat. However, it took him three entire months to reach the outer area of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb.

There was a huge square with a circumference of roughly a hundred miles outside the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, which was filled with all kinds of stores, commercial buildings, and inns. The stores were interconnected and formed an open-air market.

There was a massive gate at the end of the square with the words ‘Lunar Forsaken Tomb Gate’ on it. Coupled with the indistinct mist behind the gate, it actually looked like a tomb from afar. It was no wonder that this place was called Lunar Forsaken Tomb.

Di Jiu walked into a decent-sized commercial building. Before he could say a word, a pretty female cultivator walked up to him and said, “This is your first time in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, right? Do you have a jade card for taking your sect’s flying boat?”

Di Jiu didn’t know how she could tell that it was his first time here. However, instead of asking about it, he simply tapped the counter and replied, “I don’t have a jade card. I came here by myself. Do you have any jade slips containing a detailed map of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb and a guide to this place?”

“Yes, we do…” the female cultivator answered with a bright smile on her face as she took out two jade slips and handed them to Di Jiu. “Our store offers the most detailed map of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb. The guide even lists out almost all the dangers around this place. They are cheap too. They cost just 1,000…”

Di Jiu frowned. Selling two jade slips that could be duplicated infinitely for 1,000 immortal crystals was too expensive. However, he didn’t comment, as this was an insignificant sum to him.

His Immortal Force landed on the jade slips and his face darkened instantly. The map on the jade slip was so poorly made that even though it was his first time here, he knew that this map wasn’t even worth a single low-grade immortal crystal. The guide was even worse. It contained only a dozen lines of information.

“Sorry, you can keep them. I don’t want these jade slips.” Di Jiu handed them back to the female cultivator. He wouldn’t dare buy anything from a store like this.

However, Di Jiu didn’t expect that the female cultivator would turn harsh as he was about to leave and say, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t want to buy my jade slips anymore after duplicating their content?”

Crack! The restrictions on the store’s doors were activated automatically and two Zenith Heaven Immortal experts walked out and surrounded Di Jiu.

This was definitely a daylight robbery. Di Jiu was certain that this female cultivator had decided to rip him off upon confirming that it was his first time here.

“Friend, which sect are you from? Why did you decide not to buy our jade slips after duplicating their content?” A cultivator at the mid-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm spoke.

“I don’t belong to any sect. Since you claim that I duplicated the contents, I’ll buy them.” Di Jiu wasn’t afraid of these two Zenith Heaven Immortals or the restrictions of the store. He just didn’t want to create a scene.

He was wanted by too many powers now, and everyone knew that he wielded a saber. If he got into a fight, he was afraid that people might start suspecting his identity.

“You are mistaken. They don’t cost 1,000 immortal crystals. They cost 1,000 Liberal Points.” The female cultivator looked at Di Jiu with a condescending expression. They made the most money out of this kind of foreign scaredy-cats that immediately took out immortal crystals after being threatened. 1,000 Liberal Points were just the first step. After he paid up, they were going to charge him for activating the restrictions and temporarily shutting down their business.

They only didn’t dare lay their hands on disciples that came from powerful sects, and she had already confirmed that Di Jiu wasn’t a member of any sect.

The entire Lunar Forsaken Tomb knew that making money out of first-time visitors was the easiest. This was how most stores earned their Liberal Points and immortal crystals.

Di Jiu held the immortal crystals that he had taken out while looking calmly at the female cultivator and asked, “Are you sure you want my Liberal Points?”
