Chapter 843: Exchanging the Dharma Treasure

Upon hearing that Di Jiu was really willing to exchange the Yin-Yang Taijitu, Shang Huijue was ecstatic. The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was his most important possession.

However, he was not reluctant to exchange it for the Yin-Yang Taijitu Di Jiu had. Nobody could take away his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Even if Di Jiu took it, he would need at least 10,000 years to refine it. Within these 10,000 years, he could summon the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush to him at any time.

He had overestimated Di Jiu. Di Jiu could never refine his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, which had attached to the Heaven-Opening Mantra.

When the Yin-Yang Taijitu reached his hands, he would at most need half a year before his strength rose to another level.

When that happened, he would look for the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Di Jiu had mentioned that if he wanted the Yin-Yang Taijitu, he would have to take out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Of course, Di Jiu’s strength was on par with his. If Di Jiu’s strength was inferior to his, he would have to get lost or even be suppressed by the Heaven-Opening Mantra.

Despite being ecstatic, Shang Huijue looked hesitant. His expression told Di Jiu that the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was his main offensive Dharma treasure. How could he trade that with other people?

Di Jiu laughed and said with cupped fists, “In that case, we’ll meet again soon. When I return, I’ll discuss other things with you.”

“Daoist Di, hold on. I’ll exchange it. However, I’ll need at most a year to be enlightened. You have to take good care of the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.” Shang Huijue took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and warned him repeatedly.

Di Jiu waved his hand. “Since City Lord Shang is so worried, there is no need to trade. It nearly cost my life to get the Yin-Yang Taijitu. You speak as if my Yin-Yang Taijitu is worthless while your Heaven-Opening Writing Brush is a gold mine, which disappoints me. To be honest, I’m lending the Yin-Yang Taijitu to you because I hope that you can reach a higher level. When we work together in the future, it would be of more help. I don’t wish to stay in this place any longer.”

Shang Huijue smiled awkwardly. “Daoist Di, you must not think like that. Our possessions are good stuff, so we naturally have to take good care of them. Regardless of whether I can be enlightened or not, I will do my best when we leave the Lost Dao World.”

Di Jiu nodded. “Of course.”

The two of them exchanged their Dharma treasures peacefully. Di Jiu got Shang Huijue’s Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, while Shang Huijue got Di Jiu’s Yin-Yang Taijitu.

Unfortunately, the two of them were unaware of each other’s bottom line. If Di Jiu disagreed, Shang Huijue would be willing to add the Heaven-Opening Metal. If Shang Huijue disagreed, Di Jiu would be willing to add the Void Mountain or even the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.

Because the two of them were too eager to have each other’s things, this trade wasn’t very advantageous. In other words, both sides felt that they had taken advantage of the other person.

“City Lord Shang, I will not bother you while you are studying the Yin-Yang Taijitu.” Now that Di Jiu had obtained the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, he wanted to leave the Lost Dao World immediately. Therefore, he wouldn’t talk further with Shang Huijue.

“Alright. I wish Daoist Di a lot of benefits this time.” Shang Huijue wasn’t in the mood to talk with Di Jiu. What he needed the most was to immediately study the Ultimate Yin-Yang Dao Runes in the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

He still felt that he was a little bit stronger than Di Jiu. If he could use the Yin-Yang Taijitu to restore his cultivation level, he would have no problem suppressing Di Jiu.

When Di Jiu was out of the Lost Dao City, he immediately went to the Half-Patterned Swamp. However, he stopped halfway. The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was on him, and Shang Huijue could definitely sense it. If he went to the Half-Patterned Swamp now, that would mean that he had lied to Shang Huijue.

He couldn’t put it in the Ninth World.

At the thought of this, Di Jiu immediately took out the jade slip that Shang Huijue had given him. There were three places marked on the jade slip, and Di Jiu chose the one furthest away—the Naixi Ocean.

The Naixi Ocean was not near, but it only took Di Jiu two hours to get there by using his nomological escape technique.

Di Jiu didn’t know how the Naixi Ocean had been in the past. However, it didn’t look like an ocean now. He could only see uneven peaks.

The entire Naixi Ocean was 5,000 kilometers wide, but Di Jiu knew that there would not be good blacksmithing materials there. That bastard Shang Huijue had lied to him and made him come for nothing.

Shang Huijue, who could sense it when Di Jiu arrived at the Naixi Ocean, sneered. Di Jiu could only dream about finding materials at the Naixi Ocean.

Immediately, he opened the Yin-Yang Taijitu and four Blood Essences landed on it. The Yin-Yang Taijitu showed a black and a white Dao rune aura that were both swept by Shang Huijue. They then permeated the area between his eyebrows.

Shang Huijue didn’t want to refine the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Instead, he wanted to stabilize it. He was worried that Di Jiu would play tricks while he was observing and studying the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Just like he had taken the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, he could take away the Yin-Yang Taijitu at any time.

Shang Huijue did not believe that Di Jiu couldn’t take the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Given Di Jiu’s strength, Di Jiu was absolutely capable of doing so before he completely refined the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

He nailed it with four Blood Essences. If Di Jiu wanted to take it away, he could activate the major array to confine the Yin-Yang Taijitu. As long as he didn’t leave the Lost Dao City, Di Jiu would not be able to take away the Yin-Yang Taijitu unless he came over again.

Di Jiu had the same thought as Shang Huijue. He knew very well how useful the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was to Shang Huijue. He definitely didn’t believe that Shang Huijue would really exchange the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush for his Yin-Yang Taijitu.

As soon as he reached the Naixi Ocean, Di Jiu took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

After his Spiritual Force only circled above the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush once, Di Jiu knew that it would not be easy for him to refine it.

The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush was filled with Shang Huijue’s Spiritual Force imprints and even embodied his willpower.

Even if he sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World now, Shang Huijue would definitely find him as soon as possible. Therefore, he could not do that. At least not now.

If Di Jiu didn’t cultivate the Nomological Dao, his only way out would be to enter the Half-Patterned Swamp as quickly as possible before he used the Reincarnation Bridge to leave the Lost Dao World.

Now, Di Jiu had begun to strip off some of Shang Huijue’s Spiritual Force imprint and willpower on the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

Then, he set up a major array in the wide Naixi Ocean before he placed the Spiritual Force imprints and willpower that he had stripped away into the array.

After doing all this, Di Jiu immediately sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World. Then, he quickly executed the nomological escape technique and left the Naixi Ocean for the Half-Patterned Swamp.

He didn’t worry about the traps that had been set up. He was worried that Shang Huijue was too concerned about the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. When he suddenly sensed the aura of the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush weaken, he would recall it. If that happened, then his setup would all be wasted. It would have been even better to tear the Lost Dao World with the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

As soon as Di Jiu sent the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush into the Ninth World, Shang Huijue sensed it. He immediately stopped what he was doing and looked towards the Naixi Ocean.

At that moment, he sensed that his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush’s imprint had weakened unrestrictedly.

Just as Shang Huijue could not help but recall the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, that unrestrictedly weaker imprint finally stopped weakening and remained in the Naixi Ocean. Shang Huijue was relieved and sure that Di Jiu had set up an isolation array at the Naixi Ocean and isolated the aura of his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Given Di Jiu’s Array Dao, he could do so.

However, Di Jiu could never refine his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

Shang Huijue sat down again and deduced the Yin-Yang Taijitu in his hands even quicker. At the same time, he paid more attention to his Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. Once something was amiss, he would immediately recall it.
