Novel Full Chapter 863: A Realm as Foundation
Dao Lord Po Xu told Yin Yueshu, who was by his side, “Wait for me outside first. I need to talk to Daoist Di.”
“Alright.” Yin Yueshu hurriedly responded with a bow and retreated.
Despite her noble background, she had no status there at all.
As for Lightning, who was inside the building, Dao Lord Po Xu pretended as if he didn’t see it and had no intention of asking it to come out. He knew that Lightning was Di Jiu’s beast companion. If he called Di Jiu’s beast companion out, he would be disrespecting Di Jiu.
When Yin Yueshu left, Dao Lord Po Xu lifted his hand to set up a restriction before he told Di Jiu, “Brother Di, I’m saying all this because I don’t treat you as an outsider.”
Di Jiu nodded. He could see that Dao Lord Po Xu was indeed becoming friends with him on purpose. The more friends one had, the more options one had in life. Hadn’t he also helped Sacred Lord Green Lotus? When it came to experts, making a friend was better than making an enemy.
Dao Lord Po Xu pointed and said, “After all, I’m considered someone with knowledge and experience. I’m afraid you didn’t think of that. Even if we reach the third step or cultivate to the Integration Realm, the Dao path is still endless. Every Dao is never-ending. As for whether there is a fourth step or fifth step, I don’t know. I believe that even if there isn’t one, the third step isn’t the end of the Dao cultivation.”
Di Jiu was moved. This was exactly what he wanted to know but didn’t. He had come across a lot of things, but these things were also scattered and relied on him to tidy them up.
Dao Lord Po Xu laughed self-derisively. “I’m also considered a confident person. In fact, I’ve done well in all these years. I’m a proud person as well. In the past, even if I was not as good as you, I would have done my utmost to get rid of you…”
After he said that, Po Xu paused. Di Jiu knew very well what Po Xu meant. In the past, Po Xu would have been too disdainful to be associated with him.
“Now, I can clearly see that although I’m not bad, many people are better than me in the vast universe. My achievements can only stay here.” Upon saying that, Po Xu looked at Di Jiu and said solemnly, “Brother Di, let me tell you something. An exceptional almighty or expert belongs to their own realm. Any life in this realm will honor them…”
Di Jiu interrupted Dao Lord Po Xu. “Dao Lord Po Xu, what you mean is that every expert in the universe will refine a realm that belongs to them, right?”
If Po Xu wanted him to replace Dao Lord Darkness to refine the Great Ultimate Realm, heh heh… He would rather not be this expert, as this went against his principles. Di Jiu was very satisfied with his current achievements. As long as he persisted, he would surely be able to reach the third step.
Po Xu chuckled. “Brother Di, do you think that this is it? Just refining a realm would be too simple. Anyone can do that as long as they are cruel enough. Do you think cruelty can be the Dao foundation?”
“Dao foundation?” Di Jiu was even more puzzled.
Po Xu nodded. “Yes, the Dao foundation. When the cultivators of a realm honor you and are proud of you, they will provide you with Dao force support in this vast universe. Although you cannot sense it, it exists. Any admiration, respect, and love will provide a force for your Dao, which is also a kind of Dao foundation.
“This power has existed since before you stepped out of this universe. One day, when your strength can step out of this universe and stand on top of it, you will be in control of it all. Few people can understand this, but I understand that, in addition to living for so long, there is more that I can see.”
Di Jiu had already understood something and didn’t think that what Po Xu had said was incredible or empty words. He cultivated the Heaven Earth Nomological Dao, so the influence of any law would affect his Dao. As Dao Lord Po Xu had mentioned, if he had this realm and the billions of living beings in this realm respected him, he would imperceptibly change a trace of the nomological aura in the universe, which would change his Dao at the same time.
Perhaps, this was just a superficial understanding of the Dao foundation.
Po Xu then said, “Do you think that when you refine a realm and let the billions of souls in this realm live because of you, these beings will respect you from the bottom of their hearts when they will perish at your wish? They won’t. Only the dumbest cultivators refine a realm. Dao Lord Darkness is not dumb, so I don’t know what he wants to do in the Great Ultimate Realm.
“What I mean when I talk about owning a realm is not that you need to refine this realm, but that you only need to give this realm a reason to respect you. You only need to build a sect and let this sect stay as a symbol in this realm. Now that the Great Ultimate Realm needs to be rescued by others, how will the cultivators there treat you if you make a move?”
Di Jiu said, “Daoist Po Xu, the kind of respect you are talking about seems similar to incense. I have heard of such things and have been worshipped with incense before.”
Po Xu chuckled. “You will naturally become an almighty by being worshipped with incense, but what I mentioned has nothing to do with that. It goes beyond that and is an invisible nomological force.”
Di Jiu nodded. “In fact, I planned to go there. After I leave, please help me look after the Mountain Gaze Restaurant.”
“I’ll go with you. Dao Lord Darkness is not a virtuous person,” said Dao Lord Po Xu.
Di Jiu waved his hand. “No need. If I can’t even deal with Dao Lord Darkness, I won’t have to come to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone anymore. I believe that the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone is much stronger than Dao Lord Darkness, right? This will be a test trial for me before I go to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.”
Dao Lord Po Xu, who clearly understood what Di Jiu meant, nodded. “Alright. In that case, I’ll wait for you here.”
Di Jiu’s gaze landed on Lightning. “You stay here and wait for my return.”
“Don’t worry. I will definitely run the Mountain Gaze Restaurant well.” Lightning was overjoyed. In fact, when Yin Yueshu had come for help, it had guessed that its opportunity was coming. After Di Jiu left, it would be the boss there, which was now the case.
…
Yin Yueshu had never dreamed that Di Jiu would be invited over so easily. Di Jiu had promised her that he would go to the Great Ultimate Realm. Since he was heading there now, he would naturally be going with her.
This made her heart thump. If Di Jiu had any thoughts about her on the way to the Great Ultimate Realm, she would definitely jump over without hesitation. Even if Di Jiu had no thoughts about her, she would return to the Great Ultimate Realm with him. When Di Jiu really saved the Great Ultimate Realm, she would stay in the Great Ultimate Realm after he left. Everyone knew that Di Jiu had been invited by her, so it would naturally be beneficial to her if she had control of the Great Ultimate Realm in the future.
Upon seeing the red color of Yin Yueshu’s face, Di Jiu didn’t think too much of it. However, he told her, “You are slow. I will go to the Great Ultimate Realm first and you will follow me.”
After he said that, before Yin Yueshu could answer him, he extended his figure. If this had been Ling Xiaoshuang, Di Jiu would have brought her along. However, Yin Yueshu had not left a good impression on him.
When Di Jiu disappeared, Dao Lord Po Xu’s expression changed. He had thought that even if he was not Di Jiu’s match in the future, he would be able to escape from Di Jiu without any pressure. Now, he knew how unreasonable his way of thinking was.
Not even a few great Sacred Lords had possessed an escape technique like Di Jiu’s in the past. What kind of escape technique was this? Po Xu was considered experienced and knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a terrifying escape technique.
Yin Yueshu’s face turned pale. She had never thought that Di Jiu would not even bother going with her and would go alone to the Great Ultimate Realm. Given her strength, it would take her at least a few years to reach the Great Ultimate Realm. In all these years, nothing would concern her anymore, right?
