Spiritual Qi churned without cease.
It continued for three days and three nights.
When the patriarchs surveyed the distance it covered, they were dumbstruck.
"Across a hundred million li, how could this little fellow withstand such powerful energy?"
"You're asking me? I'd like to know too."
Rumble.
Mists of blood Qi formed around Di Juetian.
The universe was destroyed, recreated, then destroyed again.
All things in the world perished.
Time vanished, and so did space.
Only a single figure floated in the chaos.
A pair of eyes blotted out the sky and sun.
Everything within their gaze was reduced to nothing.
Not a trace of life remained.
"The physique absorbed all the Spiritual Qi."
The patriarchs drew sharp breaths.
"It looks like this little fellow has undergone an astonishing transformation."
"I reckon he might develop a divine ability this time."
Di Juetian finally opened his eyes.
The light in his eyes faded.
The patriarchs grew nervous. Di Juetian had been able to control his physique before, but now his devil physique had absorbed so much energy.
They did not know whether Di Juetian could still control his physique.
"Patriarchs, there's no need to worry. From now on, I'll be able to control my physique."
Hearing Di Juetian's words, the patriarchs breathed a sigh of relief.
Delight appeared on their faces immediately afterward.
"What changes happened inside your body?"
"We're very curious."
"Patriarchs, you'll find out in the future."
Di Juetian kept them in suspense.
"You brat."
"Forget it, we won't ask any more. As long as you can keep yourself safe."
"By the way, go see your father in a little while. There's something to discuss. Now that you've broken through, it's a good time to go out and temper yourself."
"That thing should be quite useful to you."
The Sixteenth Patriarch suddenly spoke.
Di Juetian nodded at the Sixteenth Patriarch's words.
After watching Di Juetian leave,
the patriarchs exchanged glances.
"I really look forward to seeing this little fellow grow up."
"How long do you think it'll take this little fellow to catch up to our strength?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't take too long."
"He's only seventeen and already at the Dao Palace Realm. That really is rare in the Immortal Domain."
"Don't forget, there are still some freaks out there."
"But I believe those fellows will all become stepping stones for Tian'er."
The patriarch radiated powerful confidence.
After Di Juetian came out of the back mountain,
he breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a gentle smile.
When the people of the Di Lineage saw him, they bowed.
"I feel like the Divine Son has grown stronger again."
"I felt it too. Even from so far away, I could feel it, and he really is so powerful."
Several maids of the Di Lineage gazed at Di Juetian with burning eyes.
"Divine Son, the lineage head is looking for you."
Elder Lin came out and looked at Di Juetian.
"I know."
A void passage appeared.
Di Juetian stepped inside.
The Di Lineage was simply too vast. Even within his own lineage, he needed to cross the void.
When he arrived at the Heavenly Palace, a man was already seated on the high throne.
He was imposing and domineering, with a handsome face obscured by chaos.
But when Di Juetian appeared, he revealed his true face.
Di Juetian and Di Wushen looked eight parts alike.
When he saw Di Juetian arrive,
Di Wushen wore a doting smile.
"Tian'er, how did it go?"
"Not bad. I can control my physique now."
At those words, joy filled Di Wushen's eyes.
The dignified head of the Di Lineage was actually trembling slightly at this moment.
At this moment, Di Wushen was not the lofty head of the Di Lineage, but merely a father.
A father worried about his child.
"Father, you won't have to worry about me anymore."
Di Juetian smiled too.
This could be considered a small act of filial piety on his part.
"Good."
"I called you here this time to send you to the lower realm."
"Someone in the lineage divined that there's a great opportunity there."
"We don't know the details, only that it may have something to do with devils."
Hearing this, Di Juetian was taken aback.
After all, devils—how should he put it?
In the Immortal Domain, people hated devils. When they saw one, they would rather kill the wrong person than let one go.
But there were also some devil sects whose members were all vicious and wicked.
Though humans despised them, they were still human, not true devils.
People shouted about slaying devils while using devil weapons and saying how good they were.
Some even cultivated devil arts.
But everyone turned a blind eye.
Cultivating devil arts was merely a way to perfect their own martial arts.
The patriarchs of the Di Lineage and Di Wushen also cultivated devil arts.
Even other powerful factions had them.
But it was all considered a matter of drawing on them for reference.
However, if you openly revealed it yourself,
unless the faction behind you was powerful, or your own strength was great enough to ignore every threat,
as for the weak who cultivated them, as soon as their devil Qi was discovered, death was their only fate.
It truly showed the law of the strong preying on the weak to the fullest.
"When do I leave?"
Di Juetian was quite curious too.
"Today. Some people have already gone down to the lower realm."
Hearing this, Di Juetian smiled. He wondered whether he would encounter a son of fortune.
"This is information about the lower realm. The lineages that follow us have some strength there."
"Someone has already notified them."
Di Juetian nodded when he heard this.
"Settle the matter in the lower realm as quickly as possible."
"Some time ago, your mother sent word asking you to visit your maternal grandfather. The Yin-Yang Divine Fruit is nearly ripe."
Di Juetian nodded at those words.
After watching Di Juetian leave,
Di Wushen vanished as well.
Di Juetian returned to his room.
He nearly struck.
When he saw the woman's face, he suddenly remembered: wasn't this the heroine of fortune he had borrowed?
If he had realized a moment later, he would have killed her outright.
Shangguan Wan'er's heart was still pounding too.
Only a few days had passed, and this fellow had already forgotten her.
She had thought he lusted after her body, but unexpectedly, he had stopped paying her any attention.
"From now on, you're my maid."
Di Juetian gave the order.
"I understand."
Shangguan Wan'er replied.
Di Juetian was a little surprised. He had not expected Shangguan Wan'er to accept.
"From now on, call me young master."
"Young master."
Di Juetian nodded in satisfaction.
The Chaos Devil Physique could originally condense Chaos Devil Seeds to control people.
The previous Di Juetian had not dared use it.
He had been suppressing himself every moment.
After Di Juetian transmigrated here,
he gained control of his physique.
Now he could condense a Devil Seed whenever he wished.
But Di Juetian had not used one on Shangguan Wan'er.
He did not know whether the lower realm would be boring. Having a heroine of fortune to relieve his boredom would be nice; if he controlled her and turned her into a puppet, it would not be fun. If a son of fortune appeared, that would be a different matter.
Di Juetian took out a piece of jade.
It contained information about the lower realm.
Among it was the location where the opportunity in the lower realm would appear.
In the Immortal Domain, many major factions had people who could divine the workings of heaven and earth to strengthen their lineages' foundations.
For an opportunity to attract the lineage's attention, it seemed this opportunity had to be significant.
"The Xuanqing Realm?"
Di Juetian murmured.
"Young master, did you say the Xuanqing Realm?"
