Chapter 461: The Peace Square’s Arrogant Immortal Emperor

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After teleporting back to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Di Jiu did not have the time to even return to his hotel. Instead, he was dragged to the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association by Qu Hen.

Qu Hen asked once again, “Di Jiu, are you really an Immortal Alchemy Emperor?”

Di Jiu wanted to say that he was not, but upon seeing Qu Hen’s eager tone and incredulous expression, he asked doubtfully, “Guild Master, you seem to think that it’s impossible for me to be an Immortal Alchemy Emperor.”

Qu Hen sighed and replied, “That’s right. At least, I have not seen anyone become an Immortal Alchemy Emperor in the Four Major Immortal Continents.”

“Could the Guild Master not be an Immortal Alchemy Emperor?” Di Jiu looked at Qu Hen in confusion. Qu Hen was a publicly known Immortal Alchemy Emperor. How could he not be one?

Qu Hen sighed once again. “I only managed to refine a cauldron of grade-nine immortal pills. Ever since, I have never refined such pills again.”

Di Jiu frowned. He recalled continuously failing to refine dozens of cauldrons of grade-nine immortal pills. Could the Heaven Earth law in the universe be incomplete?

“Guild Master, could the Alchemy Dao law in this universe be incomplete? Is that why there are no Immortal Alchemy Emperors?” Di Jiu asked when he thought of this.

Qu Hen shook his head. “It can’t be related to the Heaven Earth Law. After all, Immortal Emperors are not a minority in this universe. I suspect that this has something to do with ascension and that the grade-nine immortal pills can peek into the Dao mechanism. After the Four Major Immortal Continents’ ascension place disappeared, no more cultivators ascended…”

Di Jiu said with cupped fists, “Guild Master, although I can refine nine-patterned grade-eight immortal pills, I’m not a grade-nine Alchemy Emperor indeed. I am a grade-eight Immortal Alchemy Supremacy. I refined nearly 30 cauldrons of grade-nine immortal pills and all of them were a failure.”

“You can refine nine-patterned grade-eight immortal pills?” Qu Hen asked once again excitedly.

Before Di Jiu could answer, Chen Zishun said, “Yes, Guild Master. Alchemy Emperor Di has refined the nine-patterned Intent Supremacy Elixir.”

Even though Chen Zishun had never seen the nine-patterned Intent Supremacy Elixir, Di Jiu had used it for a trade, so it was obvious that he was the one who had refined it.

“It’s no wonder that…” Qu Hen finally understood why Di Jiu was not a grade-nine Immortal Alchemy Emperor, even though everyone thought he was.

Being a grade-eight Immortal Alchemy Supremacy and being able to refine the nine-patterned Intent Supremacy Elixir were two different things.

Qu Hen pondered this for a good while and suddenly took an ancient book out of his ring and handed it to Di Jiu. “Di Jiu, this is some of my understanding of the Alchemy Dao, because I succeeded in refining a cauldron of grade-nine immortal pills. You can have a look. It might help you.”

“Thank you, Guild Master. this book will be helpful to me.” Di Jiu hurriedly stood up to take the book. He had continuously refined dozens of grade-nine immortal pills, but all of them had failed. He wanted to see how other people had done this successfully.

“Di Jiu, I plan to search for the place of ascension. Only you can support the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association. I hope you can take over as the next Elixir Association’s Guild Master.” Upon seeing Di Jiu accept the book he had given him, Qu Hen felt overjoyed and hurriedly said what was on his mind.

Di Jiu gestured with his hands without delay. “Guild Master, you can continue to serve as the Guild Master even if you search for the place of ascension. I have more things on my hands and I have to go somewhere far away these days. I’m afraid I would be too busy for the Elixir Association.”

Qu Hen’s tone was a bit low. “Di Jiu, I might not get the chance to return once I head off this time. You can hand over the Elixir Association to Zishun…”

Di Jiu understood what Qu Hen meant and simply said, “Guild Master, I hope you can postpone your search for the place of ascension for a few years. After I am done handling these matters, I will enter seclusion for a period of time. I will go with you in the future. I’m proficient in some Dharma Arrays and have analyzed the Heaven Earth Law, so I might be of help.”

“Yes, Guild Master. What Alchemy Emperor Di said is true. He’s the strongest expert in the Array Dao that I have seen,” Chen Zishun hurriedly told him.

Qu Hen hesitated for a while before he simply nodded. “In that case, Di Jiu will be the Elixir Association’s Protector. Protector Di, you can go ahead and do your thing. I will take care of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. There won’t be any problems.”

Di Jiu thanked him without delay. “Thank you, Guild Master. I’ll return to the Peace Hotel first. After I have made some plans, I will head to the Square Immortal Continent’s Teleportation Array and restore it.”

Ye Xi’s ring was also a Quintessential World. Not only had Di Jiu obtained a huge amount of cultivating resources, which were in his ring, but he had also obtained the segmented soil that he had needed urgently.

With the segmented soil and Zhong Ao’s help, he could improve the Square Immortal Continent’s teleportation array. It had been many years since he had come out of the Square Immortal Continent, so he did not know if his Starry Sky Immortal City was doing well. Had his older sister, Di Di, ascended to the Immortal World yet?

Only when this issue was settled would he be able to search for the place of ascension with Qu Hen.

As for the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Di Jiu believed that, given his prestige now, nobody would dare set eyes on it and provoke it.

…

Di Jiu arrived at the Peace Square with Zhong Ao and saw a long-haired youth sitting outside immediately.

He was the person who had set up the Defense Arrays around the Peace Square. Thanks to his understanding of the spatial law, he immediately determined that this long-haired youth had been sitting here for a long time.

“Why are you sitting here?” Di Jiu frowned in confusion. Even if he wanted to cultivate, he should be sitting at the Peace Square. There was no restriction on who could sit at the Peace Square.

“I’m waiting for someone,” the long-haired youth said softly.

Di Jiu chuckled. “If you want to wait for someone, you can also wait in the Peace Square. The Immortal Spirit Qi inside is much richer. As long as you don’t stay in a hotel, the Peace Square will not charge you anything.”

The long-haired youth snorted. “Even if I, Yan Xiao, watched my cultivation level deteriorate every day, I would still not dare use the Immortal Spirit Qi on the Peace Square. I’m only waiting to kill two bastards here. The Peace Hotel can protect them, but I don’t believe it can keep doing that.”

Di Jiu’s tone became cold. “You’re merely an Immortal King. Even if you don’t kill anyone on the Peace Square, you will face a dead-end if you kill anyone anywhere in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.”

Di Jiu did not pay any attention to Yan Xiao anymore. Instead, he immediately entered the square.

At that moment, a man and a woman rushed out of the Peace Hotel. Both of them looked extremely pleased.

Yan Xiao drew out his halberd, which transformed into a flare that flew over and encapsulated the two of them.

Di Jiu’s face turned somewhat ugly. It was clearly stated that fights were prohibited on the Peace Square, but this long-haired youth had still dared to make a move.

Yan Xiao had made a move at the edge of the Peace Square, so he was in a gray zone.

“How dare you lay a finger on my disciples? I am Xue Qianheng…” A snort was heard before a huge handprint slapped Yan Xiao.

A terrifying aura swept over, and Yan Xiao realized he could not move. A hint of despair flashed through his eyes. He could only stare blankly at the handprint that landed on top of his head.

Di Jiu casually threw an array flag out and the Peace Square’s Defense Array burst into a white flare that blasted towards that handprint.

Bang! An explosion was heard as that formidable Immortal Essence handprint dissipated.

Once the long-haired youth was released, he hurriedly took numerous steps back and entered the Peace Square.

“Master, he’s the one who wanted to kill us. Senior Brother Jing and I were seriously injured by him in the past and almost died,” the woman hurriedly explained to a thin, weak man who had fallen.

The thin, weak man did not pay any attention to Di Jiu and Zhong Ao. He just took a step into the Peace Square and stared at Yan Xiao with brooding killing intent. “You had the guts to lay a finger on my disciple?”

He then looked at Zhong Ao, who was beside Di Jiu. “I am Xue Qiuheng from the Thunder Yang Sect. I am teaching the person who injured my disciples a lesson right now. Why are you trying to stop me?”

“Master, this is the Peace Hotel. Fights are not allowed here,” the female cultivator hurriedly told Xue Qiuheng through voice transmission. She knew that her Master had probably just returned from outside of domain and was not aware of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s laws.

Thunder Yang Sect? Di Jiu hated that name to the core. Thus, he snorted and said, “This is the Peace Hotel’s territory. We don’t welcome trash from the Thunder Yang Sect here. Get lost.”

“Ha ha… I did not return for just a few decades, yet times have changed really quickly. An ant dared to tell me to get lost. I, Xue Qiuheng, shall see if you have this right…” The thin, weak man tried to grab Di Jiu.

“Old Zhong, this old thing is simply too noisy. I’m tired of hearing him…” Di Jiu pointed to his ears.

Zhong Ao chuckled and sent an Essence Energy handprint over.

Di Jiu knew that Zhong Ao was far better than his opponent, but he still needed his coordination to grab him with his Essence Energy handprint.

A Nomological Array flag was set up, and the Confinement Array on the Peace Square was activated. The space around Xue Qiuheng thickened and Zhong Ao’s domain restricted him at the same time. At the moment, Xue Qiuheng had difficulty moving.

He could only watch helplessly as he, a sixth-stage Immortal Emperor expert, was held up by his neck by an ordinary cultivator he had never seen before.
