Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1637 - 377: Chen Jiu IV: Du Zundao, Dare You Fight?

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and the ground continuously emitted steam. Standing in it felt like being back in that Molten Lava Hell, but here, the temperature of the lava gave a sensation much hotter than the Molten Lava Hell.

Chen Jie strolled through this half-lava space, feeling the heat in the air while his eyes looked at the world opposite.

In sharp contrast to this Molten Lava Hell was the Cold Ice Hell on the opposite side. The boundary was distinct, intersecting yet not merging, as if a force was forcibly separating them. Chen Jie knew this was the power of the Ruins, the Yin Yang Qian Kun Power.

Chen Jie looked towards the Cold Ice Hell and saw ice mountains buried under white snow, stretching endlessly. The snow-covered mountains had glaciers extending from the summit to the triangle, resembling silver dragons, in stark contrast to the fire dragons formed after volcanic eruptions on Chen Jie’s side.

Floating in the air on Chen Jie’s side was black volcanic ash, while the air in the icy world opposite resembled a fairytale, with fine ice crystals floating. These ice crystals sparkled with colorful light under the sun, making it seem like the entire area was enveloped in a rainbow, remarkably beautiful.

Accompanying the ice crystals were flurries of snowflakes, adorning the area as a world of ice and snow.

Within this icy world, there was a wide frozen river. The river surface was full of cracks and ice holes, and as you swiftly followed the river upward, you could see a giant waterfall crazily cascading down from high above, producing a deafening sound.

Rumble...

Looking at the icy and snowy landscape, Chen Jie could hear the howling wind from the other side across the Yin Yang Intersection, as if everything there could be frozen in an instant.

Witnessing this scene of Yin and Yang opposing yet not merging, Chen Jie couldn’t help but marvel at the world’s wonder, where an existence of ice and fire dualism was possible!

And at the center of this world stood an isolated island resembling a lotus seed pod. Surrounding the island was a massive body of water, with half of the water red as lava and the other half cold as frost.

At the very center of that body of water was a floating bridge suspended over the area.

However, you couldn’t clearly see the entirety of this bridge because the Yin Yang intersection was filled with mist. This mist appeared translucent, shrouding the entire Lotus Island, giving a sense of mystery and a vague appearance.

But upon closer inspection, you could see on the walls of Lotus Island, some plants resembling Mountain Climbing Vines. These plants had roots extending into the lava while their leaves reached towards the frost area.

Seeing all this before him, Chen Jie’s eyes showed a bit of wonder. Could this be the heart of the Ruins, where Yin Yang Qian Kun is reversed and the Qiankun Great Method hidden?

It’s truly astounding.

With this thought, Chen Jie started walking towards the floating bridge. However, as Chen Jie slowly moved, he suddenly frowned because he noticed another figure also heading towards the bridge.

At that moment, the person also noticed Chen Jiusi.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, there was an extraordinary feeling.

Yet neither of them stopped advancing, remaining silent as they continued toward the central floating bridge.

This moment carried a sense that the brave would win when paths cross.

One person emerged from the flames, and another from the ice, incompatible like water and fire. Yet neither acted, just like the natural scenery behind them; although they were incompatible, they did not interfere with each other.

Their goal was the central floating bridge.

Soon they arrived before the central floating bridge, standing firm and sizing each other up.

Chen Jie looked at the person opposite, noticing their height of eight feet, broad shoulders, and sturdy frame, with eyes full of viciousness, giving an impression of decisiveness and being difficult to get along with.

Indeed, being the second of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Zoroastrian Sect, such an aura was beyond ordinary people.

Meanwhile, Du Zundao was also examining Chen Jie, noticing his servant-like attire, slightly graying hair, and the ugly scars on his face.

Seeing this appearance, it was clearly the old servant that the girl Caidie had brought back that day.

But upon observing his aura and the now-straightened back, Du Zundao already had an idea, and he gazed at Chen Jie, "Who are you? Why do you come to my Bright Peak under a false name, a spy from the court?"

Du Zundao asked.

Chen Jie laughed upon hearing this, "The Dharma King misunderstood, I am not a court spy. This time I come to Bright Peak purely out of admiration."

Du Zundao chuckled upon hearing, "Haha... Since you’re not a court spy, then you’re a friend of Bright Peak. There’s nothing more to say. Since you are a friend, I, Du, welcome you. Just wait here for a moment. Once I acquire the Qiankun Great Method atop the Lotus Island, we can have a drink together, how about that?"

Chen Jie looked at Du Zundao and said, "Hehe, Dharma King, there’s no need for trouble. I am also here for the Qiankun Great Method. Why not let me have it instead?"

"Hmm?"

"Friend, do you know what you’re talking about? The Qiankun Great Method is the Sect Suppressing Divine Technique of the Zoroastrian Sect, why are you entitled to take it?"

Chen Jie responded, "Oh, I also came under someone’s request."

"Under someone’s request? That brat Han Lin’er?"

Du Zundao looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie replied, "Indeed, your sect’s Ming King."

"Ming King, hahaha... he’s unworthy!"

Du Zundao hardly paid attention to Han Lin’er, speaking rebellious words directly, his face full of arrogance.

Chen Jie saw through Du Zundao’s thoughts and simply said, "Dharma King Du, if your words get out, it might not look good."

Du Zundao didn’t care at all, "Impact? What impact? What kind of impact?"

"What a joke, our sect’s Ming Kings are all noble Dragons and Phoenixes among men, strong in the world. How can a little brat hold this position? And you, friend, making it here shows that you’re no ordinary person. Our Holy Sect is in need of talents. Why throw your pearl before swine, letting an unworthy child use you? Follow me instead."

"Follow you?"

Chen Jie didn’t expect Du Zundao to recruit him, thus looked at him in confusion.

Du Zundao chuckled, "Yes, follow me. Whatever that brat promised you, I can promise you too. Follow me, and I might consider giving you an elder’s position, how about that?"

Chen Jie shook his head, "An elder position is too low."

Du Zundao furrowed his brows, "An elder is not low, just beneath a Dharma King."

Chen Jie replied, "Hehe, can’t I be a Dharma King?"

Du Zundao sized Chen Jie up and down, then finally spoke, "If you have enough strength, becoming a Dharma King wouldn’t be impossible."

Chen Jie said, "Dharma King Du, you are indeed generous, being a Dharma King yourself, permitting me the Dharma King position?"

Du Zundao chuckled, "As long as I walk out from here, I am the new Sect Hierarch of the Holy Sect. Bestowing you the title of Dharma King, why not?"

Chen Jie said, "Makes sense, but there are other conditions that I fear the Dharma King wouldn’t agree to."

Du Zundao narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jie, "What are these other conditions? Speak."

Chen Jie replied, "The Ming King promised to give me a Melt God Pill if I help him obtain the Qiankun Great Method."

"Melt God Pill!"

Du Zundao was taken aback, his expression souring, "He dares to make such arbitrary promises, giving away a Melt God Pill requires agreement from the entire upper echelon of the Holy Sect."

Chen Jie said, "Oh, is that so? He’s promised it to me anyway."

"I wonder if Dharma King can offer me the same treatment, this Melt God Pill?"

Du Zundao sneered, "Hehe, the Melt God Pill is a Sect Suppressing Treasure of our sect, not to be given lightly, especially to an outsider like you. Impossible, this condition is utterly non-negotiable!"

Listening to this, Chen Jie said nothing further and instead said, "This is not the only condition. Is the Dharma King interested in hearing what else the Ming King promised me?"

Du Zundao looked at Chen Jie, "Speak."

His tone was not friendly.

Chen Jie chuckled, "He also promised that if I obtain the Qiankun Great Method, I can practice it first and hand it over after mastering it."

"Hehe... How audacious, willing to break all ties to deal with this old man!"

"Sharing the Sect Suppressing Cultivation Technique, truly a disgrace to ancestors!"

Du Zundao was enraged by Chen Jie’s words. Quickly, he shot a glance at Chen Jiusi, "So, you agreed to his conditions?"

Chen Jie smiled, "Why wouldn’t I agree?"

Du Zundao looked at Chen Jie, "Truly fearless like a newborn calf, fine then, today I will see what kind of formidable deity that brat Han Lin’er has summoned to deal with me. Don’t disappoint!"

With that said, Du Zundao raised his hand, a terrifying aura emanating, pressing directly towards Chen Jie!
