Upon hearing that Di Jiu had a favor to ask her, Su Qianqian gave him a smile . “Alchemy Deity Di, as long as the Winter Valley or I can do so, there will definitely be no problem . ”

Di Jiu replied with satisfaction, “Thank you, Valley Master Su . I met Xiaoshuang by chance and I plan to leave the Winter Valley with her . Please allow that . ”

When Su Qianqian heard that Di Jiu wanted to take away Ling Xiaoshuang, her expression turned ugly . She was really in a difficult position . It was not that she was unwilling to let Ling Xiaoshuang go . However, Grand Elder Jiu You had said before entering seclusion that Ling Xiaoshuang could not leave . Furthermore, they could not let Ling Xiaoshuang feel that the Winter Valley had treated her unfairly .

At the sight of Su Qianqian, who was in a difficult position, Di Jiu said with a faint smile, “Valley Master, if you’ve been put in a difficult position, I won’t mention this . I plan to get some rest . ”

To Di Jiu, not bringing this matter up that day did not mean that he would not do so the next day . He was confident about recovering his strength in the shortest time possible with the help of the Starry Sky Tea .

Upon hearing that Di Jiu would not mention this matter anymore, Su Qianqian was relieved . She hurriedly said, “In that case, I’ll arrange for someone to take you to rest . ”

While saying that, Su Qianqian called a female servant over to take him to rest .

Di Jiu gestured with his hand . “Valley Master, I get along well with Xiaoshuang . Let her take me . ”

Su Qianqian did not hesitate to accept his request . She immediately told Ling Xiaoshuang, “Xiaoshuang, take Alchemy Master Di to rest . You must take good care of him . ”

Since Ling Xiaoshuang was a female servant of the Winter Valley, taking good care of Di Jiu was nothing to her .

Although he was accompanied by Ling Xiaoshuang, the Winter Valley still sent a female cultivator to lead the way .

It was cold to the bone outside the Winter Valley . The place inside was warm as spring, though, and very suitable for living .

In just half an hour, Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang arrived at a temporary cave abode led by the Winter Valley’s female cultivator . Not only was the Divine Spirit Qi extremely rich, but there was also a level-four Divine Defense Array outside .

After entering the cave abode, Ling Xiaoshuang did not say a word . She knew that an expert like Di Jiu would not have talked to her without any preparation .

Upon penetrating the place with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu very soon found a hidden spying restriction in the cave abode .

The Defense Array outside the cave abode was only a level-four Divine Defense Array, and this spying restriction was unexpectedly a level-five peak restriction .

Likewise, Ling Xiaoshuang’s Spiritual Force scanned the place once . However, her cultivation level had been restricted and there was a limit to her Array Dao mastery . Therefore, she could not discover any boundaries .

Di Jiu did not take out an array flag but he constantly set up nomological array flags .

Upon seeing Di Jiu sit down and not make movements, Ling Xiaoshuang also sat down and did not say anything . She guessed that he should be observing this cave abode, but little did she expect that he was setting up nomological array flags .

After an hour, Di Jiu had set up a level-six concealment restriction . Then, he told Ling Xiaoshuang with a smile, “Senior Sister Xiaoshuang, we can now talk . ”

“There are no surveillance Dharma Arrays here?” Ling Xiaoshuang asked in disapproval as she looked at Di Jiu doubtfully .

She was sure that there was a Spying Dharma Array there, but since there was a limit to her Array Dao strength, she could not find it .

Di Jiu nodded . “That’s right . There’s a Spying Dharma Array here, but I’ve blocked it . ”

Ling Xiaoshuang heaved a sigh of relief . She realized that she had seemed to underestimate Di Jiu . After coming in, he only had Spiritual Force fluctuation . He had no other movements . She had thought that he had been searching for the Surveillance Array but had not managed to find it . She had not expected that he would block the Surveillance Array inside so quickly . This technique of his was simply heaven-defying .

“Big Brother Di, although I’m sure I’m older than you, I’ve only seen two other experts like you . Thus, calling you Big Brother is expected . ” Once Ling Xiaoshuang spoke, she explained why she had called him Big Brother .

Di Jiu did not harp on this matter . He only asked, “At first, you wanted me to bring a message to your friends . You must have already planned to stay in the Winter Valley . Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? Is it because you feel that Su Nuo will make a move on you?”

Ling Xiaoshuang nodded . “Yes . If I don’t leave, Su Nuo will absolutely kill me . ”

“Can you tell me why you planned to stay in the Winter Valley? Based on what I know, it doesn’t help that you’re staying there,” Di Jiu said straightforwardly .

Ling Xiaoshuang explained with a sigh . “I know my situation very well . Even if I leave the Winter Valley, I can’t do anything about my situation . I have a friend called Ye Yimo . Maybe her father can help me . I also have another reason for staying there . In the past, the Winter Valley’s Grand Elder Jiu You saved me . Without Grand Elder Jiu You, I’m afraid I would have perished the moment I reached Dao Integration . ”

“You’re at the Dao Integration Realm?” Di Jiu was really surprised . He had guessed that Ling Xiaoshuang should be at Dao Integration, but most likely at the perfected Primordial Chaos .

Ling Xiaoshuang nodded her head . “Yes, I’m at the Dao Integration Realm . Unfortunately, someone plotted against me as soon as I reached Dao Integration . Then, my Dao runes stagnated and my Dao foundation degenerated . With every passing day, my cultivation level weakened a little, and my life-force eventually turned into the Green Qi pent-up in the Dao runes and degenerated into the void . ”

Di Jiu frowned and asked all of a sudden, “According to you, you can’t cultivate . Why do you still cultivate in the Winter Valley?”

This time, it was Ling Xiaoshuang’s turn to frown . She had cultivated before? Ever since her Dao runes had stagnated and her Dao foundation had degenerated, she had lost the qualifications to cultivate . How could she cultivate?

“I didn’t cultivate . ” Ling Xiaoshuang spoke frankly . If she had cultivated, she was afraid she would only have died faster .

“Let me see your wrist . ” Di Jiu suddenly stretched his hand out .

Without hesitation, Ling Xiaoshuang put her wrist on Di Jiu’s hand . She used to have fair skin, but her wrist was now encircled by a layer of Green Qi, which was unaesthetic .

Upon pinching her wrist, he immediately sensed all her aura . He sensed that her cultivation technique was impressive . At the same time, he deduced something he was still unsure about .

Half an hour later, Di Jiu put his hands down and told Ling Xiaoshuang, “Tell me about back when someone plotted against you . ”

“Alright . ” Without hesitation, Ling Xiaoshuang explained, “The reason I reached Dao Integration is because I obtained some opportunities in a place called the Chaos Realm…”

Di Jiu interrupted her . “Senior Sister Xiaoshuang, what kind of place is the Chaos Realm? There is an opportunity there for Dao Integration?”

Ling Xiaoshuang laughed self-derisively . “Big Brother Di, call me Xiaoshuang or Junior Sister Xiaoshuang . I know that your cultivation level will definitely surpass Dao Integration in the future . As for the Chaos Realm, I don’t know whether it’s still there . When I entered the Chaos Realm with Senior Sister Cai Ji, the Chaos Realm was turned upside down . More than one person reached the third step there…”

Di Jiu breathed in cold air . The Chaos Realm allowed more than just one person to reach the third step . When Ling Xiaoshuang had entered, the place had been turned upside down many times and she had even obtained the Dao Integration opportunity . How heaven-defying was this Chaos Realm?

“Cai Ji and I obtained some opportunities . Sister Cai Ji had validated her Dao . After she left, I was prepared to learn peak martial arts and reach Dao Integration . Since I accumulated enough information, I reached Dao Integration without a hitch . As soon as I reached Dao Integration, a woman suddenly ripped apart my Defense Array and sneaked an attack on me…”

Di Jiu sighed . Even though he had yet to reach Dao Integration or Primordial Chaos, he had a more thorough understanding of cultivation than ordinary cultivators . Regardless of the realm one attained, they were the weakest at that moment . A sneak attack was basically fail-safe . However, Ling Xiaoshuang had been too careless and let someone break open the cave abode where she was in seclusion to reach Dao Integration .

Ling Xiaoshuang knew what Di Jiu was thinking and laughed self-derisively . “You must think that I was careless to let someone barge into my cave abode, right? In fact, my cave abode’s restrictions were very concentrated . Even if a Dao Integration expert had attacked them, they would not have instantly ripped apart . The person who suddenly broke open my cave abode had targeted me and she seemed to have used a top-notch Array-Breaking Dao talisman . ”

“She used a top-notch Array-Breaking Dao talisman to open a Primordial Chaos cultivator’s cave abode?” Di Jiu found it unbelievable .
