Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 681 Di Family's Background
Tuoshan Tianxian guessed correctly. If Shao Yanshi really went to Yinlong Mountain to deal with Dishi, he would indeed mention the iron plate. However, this iron plate was not Di Ke, and he was not ready to easily expose his strength.

As for the one who secretly taught the Black Flame Celestial Soul the secret method of "burning soul", it was naturally Dicko himself. Dicko, whose clone had already passed the tribulation and became a celestial god, had a strong enough soul. He soon figured out a method similar to Bodhi Patriarch's dream of three realms through the secret method of burning soul and the dream cultivation method learned from Stone Old Monster in the Snow Eagle Lord's world. When he quietly investigated the three realms with the help of his powerful willpower, he happened to find the Black Flame Celestial Celestial who was about to pass the tribulation.

With Dicko's keen perception of cause and effect and fate, he discovered that the Black Flame Immortal had little hope of successfully surviving the tribulation, and that there seemed to be some other cause and effect connection between him and the Black Flame Immortal, so he secretly taught him the secret method of "burning the soul", helping him to successfully survive the tribulation and become a celestial immortal.

However, Dico was not worried that the Black Flame Immortal would leak the secret technique, because Dico had already figured out a preventive method similar to the natal oath. With the help of the power of will, the Black Flame Immortal could not leak any information about the secret technique. Even if a powerful person searched his soul, he would suffer a loss under the protection of the invisible and powerful willpower that Dico left in the Black Flame Immortal's soul.

It can be said that the method of preventing leakage after imparting the method that Dicko figured out is even more powerful and domineering than the passive protection oath of the natal vow, because it also has the ability to counterattack.

Although Di Ke was easy to talk to, he was not someone who could be easily provoked. Just like the Xuanji Patriarch, with his temper, he was defeated in front of a "junior" like Di Ke. Even though he had some suspicions about Di Ke's background, he became angrier and angrier when he thought about it, so he naturally could not easily let things go.

Therefore, while Xuanji Patriarch ordered people to investigate Ji Ning's whereabouts, he also arranged for some of Shaoyan's elite cultivators to go directly to Yinlong Mountain in Nanhai County. This was both to teach Di Ke a lesson and to test him. Xuanji Patriarch really wanted to see what Di Ke relied on.

However, this attempt was destined to bring trouble to the ancestor Xuanji, and even caused a storm that shook the entire Daxia world.
The majestic and solemn Di clan ancestral hall deep in the Yinlong Mountain is the true center of supreme power for the Di clan. Apart from the clan leader and a few respected clan elders, almost all of them are hidden immortals among the Di clan.

In the hall that was shining brightly with red-gold light as if burning with flames, several lifelike coiled dragon pillars faintly exuded the aura of dragon might. On the coiled dragon chairs surrounding the hall were many people of all ages and genders sitting. Almost all of them were dignified and had an air of nobility in their bones. Most of them were immortals, and the weakest ones were at the level of primordial spirit.

Di Feng, who had perfected his soul, and Di Ke, who had specially found a treasure that could carry his soul and cultivated it to the level of a Return to the Void Earth Immortal, sat in adjacent seats. They were only able to enter the Di family's highest power center and have the qualifications to make decisions on the Di family's major events after showing their immortal-level strength.

"The Di family is indeed very powerful. There are dozens of immortals here today." Looking at the Di family executives sitting in the chairs around him, Di Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "I wonder how many immortals there are in the Di family?"

It was obvious that the dozens of scattered immortals and earthly immortals present were definitely not all the immortals of the Di family, at least Di Ke's great grandfather Di Sanyuan was not there. Moreover, there were more scattered immortals among these immortals, but there were less than ten real earthly immortals who had returned to the void, including Di Ke.

Being able to cultivate so many immortals, the Di family has a deep foundation. If it is said that there are no immortals, Di Ke will never believe it. Therefore, when he reported the news that Shao Yan family might attack Di family, there was a gathering of Di family leaders. Knowing that Shao Yan family was going to attack, these Di family leaders not only did not show any fear, but many of them became angry.

"Shao Yan clan is so domineering. Just because my Di clan's son threatened to kill Shao Yan clan's son, they want to destroy my Di clan. What a big tone! Not to mention that they didn't really kill Shao Yan clan's future Yu Shen Gong, even if they did, what would it matter? You are not as skilled as others, but you still want to bully others. Do you think my Di clan is made of mud?" A beautiful and cute golden-clothed child-like immortal was domineering. Then a blue-robed cold-faced young immortal also sneered disdainfully: "Shao Yan clan is just a branch of the ancient human clan Shen Huo clan that inherited the blood of Shennong clan. Their clan leader Shao Yanchou has long been judged as Shen Huo clan, and he doesn't have any other powerful background. However, he relies on his ability to clone himself and cannot be killed. He has lived from ancient times to the present and is still just a celestial immortal. His Shao Yan clan only has those few celestial immortals, and they are just showing off their power in the Great Xia world. What does it mean in the entire Three Realms? If you want to destroy my Di clan, you are not afraid of breaking his teeth."

This group of Di family executives spoke one after another. Just by listening to their confident and domineering voices and their complete disregard for Shao Yan's words, Di Ke could imagine the confidence of the Di family.

Di Feng, who was standing aside, knew relatively little about the Di family's background. Seeing that everyone was eager to roll up their sleeves and fight against Shao Yan family, he was confused for a moment. Are these elders who usually live in seclusion and practice in a low-key manner so tough?

"Okay, I have reported this matter to the ancestor. If Shao Yan really wants to kill us, we naturally don't need to be polite," a sudden voice sounded after a chaotic quarrel. It came from a white-haired old man who was sitting diagonally opposite and had only achieved perfect spiritual cultivation. He had his eyes slightly closed as if he was asleep.

The old man looked very old, and was already full of decadence, but after opening his eyes, his deep and weathered eyes still had a sharp edge that made people dare not look directly at him, and his slow and old voice was also resounding.

As soon as he spoke, the whole hall fell silent, because this old man who had only achieved the perfect cultivation of his soul was the oldest elder in the clan. Because he had lived for a long time, many people in the clan thought he should be dead, but he was still alive, and no one knew how he survived the three disasters and nine calamities that were becoming more and more terrifying at the level of his soul.

In the Di family, many scattered immortals and earthly immortals did not live as long as him. Naturally, with his status and majesty in the clan, even the immortals of the Di family would not disobey him, and even respect him a little.

"Ancestor? Is it the ancestor of my Di family, the immortal Longtong, or some celestial immortal ancestor born in the Di family later?" Di Ke became curious. Not only him, but most of the other immortals present did not know the identity of the ancestor. Only the most senior elder in the clan could easily contact the ancestor.

The speed at which Shao Yan's army of immortal cultivators arrived was obviously faster than expected. On the third day after Di Ke informed the clan of the news and the Di clan's highest-level meeting, outside the Yinlong Mountain, which was still shrouded in fog under the dazzling sunlight, a number of powerful warships flew in from the distant void. On each warship, there were a large number of immortal cultivators wearing Taoist armor, and the weakest soldiers were all Purple Mansion cultivators.

Each warship was large enough to carry thousands of soldiers. There were dozens of warships, which meant tens of thousands of immortal cultivators, one fifth of whom were Wanxiang Zhenren, and there were also hundreds of Yuanshen Taoists.
"What a grand ceremony!" After the warships with Shao Yan clan's flags approached, three figures flew up into the sky above Yinlong Mountain. Leading the way was none other than Elder Di Bai, the oldest patriarch of the Di clan. On either side of him were the brothers Di Ke and Di Feng. The old man Di Bai, who squinted his eyes as he looked at the vast army of Shao Yan clan cultivators, said slowly.
