Ninth In the World

Although Di Jiu did not announce any laws in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, nobody made any requests, because Di Jiu had opened the Peace Hotel and constructed the Peace Square.

The Peace Hotel and Peace Square were equally peaceful. Nobody was allowed to fight there. There were also very few bullies and people without a foundation in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

As the target of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, the Peace Hotel was well-received by many cultivators. Even though Di Jiu was not in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, it was as prosperous as before. There was an unceasing amount of guests every day.

Although it was a bit more expensive to stay at the Peace Hotel, there were two advantages. First, one didn’t need to worry about their safety. Second, Di Jiu had inserted a high-grade immortal spirit meridian there, so they didn’t need to worry about the Immortal Spirit Qi used for cultivation.

Ever since the Peace Hotel had been built, very few cultivators had been injured and even fewer fights had taken place in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

That day, two cultivators with blood all over them rushed into the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. It was a man and a woman‎, ‬and they seemed to have suffered serious injuries. The male cultivator had a bloody hole in his chest and seemed unable to recuperate in time.

The two of them would not have had the right to rush into the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City in the past. They would have been stopped by the guards upon arriving at the city gate.

After Di Jiu had set up the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array, City Lord Mi Ji had said that anyone who did not attack the array or commit any crimes would be able to enter.

The two of them had obviously escaped there after being chased and they did not attack the Immortal City’s Defense Array. It was not stated that people with serious injuries could not enter the city and Di Jiu, the owner of the Peace Hotel, liked peace, so no one dared intercept them.

The moment the two of them rushed into the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, another long-haired young man followed.

The two of them obviously knew that there was a Peace Hotel in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City so they rushed there directly.

However, when they were about to rush into the Peace Square, the long-haired young man stopped them.

“This is the Peace Square! Don’t you dare!” The female cultivator stared at the long-haired man and spoke in a stern voice.

The long-haired man’s eyes were red, and he did not listen to her words. His halberd turned into a ray of vicious killing flare and bound them. He had to kill them even though they were on the Peace Square.

A hint of despair flashed across their eyes. They’d had nowhere to go except the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, as they’d heard that there was a Peace Hotel there.

They had fled to the Peace Square even though they were going to be killed, unwilling to resign to their fate.

“Boom!” A violent Immortal Essence fluctuation was created and the long-haired man’s halberd killing flare dissipated.

It was a great joy for the male and female cultivator, who narrowly escaped death and hurriedly rushed out of the long-haired man’s Immortal King domain.

“What’s the meaning of this, Daoist?” The long-haired man stared at Chi Yuanqing, who had obstructed his halberd killing flare. If it hadn’t been for him, he would have killed them.

Chi Yuanqing said calmly, “This is the Peace Square, so fights and murders are not allowed here. If you go on, don’t blame me for being rude.”

The long-haired man’s eyes were red, but he was still rational. He knew Chi Yuanqing was a late-stage Immortal King with one look and he had just broken through to the early-stage Immortal King, so his cultivation level was not stable yet. He would be committing suicide if he continued.

“Heh heh… You should be glad that my Big Brother is not here. Otherwise, he would have killed a nobody like you.” Little Tree came out and chuckled with sarcasm as he pointed to the long-haired man.

The long-haired man was silent as he carried his halberd outside the Peace Square and sat down. He had to kill Shi Jing and Shi Yuelan, no matter how long he sat here.

Upon seeing that the long-haired man was not leaving, the woman approached Chi Yuanqing and bowed respectfully. “Thank you for saving us, Senior. We will definitely repay you this kindness when my Master arrives.”

Chi Yuanqing said softly, “I’m not saving you, but nobody is allowed to fight on the Peace Square.”

“Yes, yes…” Shi Yuelan repeated before telling the man by her side, “Brother Jing, let’s stay here.”

“Alright,” The man nodded his head in agreement without the slightest hesitation. They were both seriously injured so they could only protect their lives by recuperating at the Peace Hotel.

…

The Brilliant Lake Palace was well-known for its aura. Even though it was not a cultivation sacred ground, it was enough to double its value.

Di Jiu, who was standing outside the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Array, sighed. The Brilliant Lake Palace stood in the cloud-capped mountain peak, and the Brilliant Lake surrounded the mountain peak like a silver ribbon.

“This old bastard really knows how to choose places with beautiful scenery. Even if he’s buried here, he sure has earned it,” Di Jiu said when he thought of it. However, he was not afraid of Ye Xi.

Yin Wushang said softly, “The Brilliant Lake Palace didn’t belong to Ye Xi back then. It belonged to the Chu Family. Ye Xi married the Chu Family’s Chu Yuzhi. I heard that the two of them joined forces to kill the entire Chu Family and seized the family’s Brilliant Lake Palace.”

Di Jiu suddenly understood. Ye Xi had not killed every member of the Chu Family. By the looks of it, Dai He Hall’s Chu Paihuai had slipped through the cracks.

Dai He Hall did not belong to Chu Paihuai either. He had happened to find it by chance. Di Jiu hated Ye Xi and did not have any good feelings about Chu Paihuai either.

He was very sinister. If he had not been proficient in the Heaven Earth Foundation Order, he would probably have been killed by Chu Paihuai, just like the majority of the cultivators who found their way to Dai He Hall.

“Old Zhong, could you make out the natural Confinement Killing Array here?” When Di Jiu questioned Zhong Ao, he opened his Dao eye but only saw a field of white flares.

Di Jiu sighed silently. He could only put away his Dao eye. Although his Dao eye did work, its level was too low. His Dao eye needed to advance indeed.

Zhong Ao also shook his head. “I can’t make it out now. I kind of suspect the natural large array here is related to the Brilliant Lake. There is such an array in my memory, and all the array flags are illusory. It is very hard to sense it even with a top-notch array formation expert.”

“Old Zhong, are you saying that this kind of array is here?” Di Jiu asked in surprise.

Zhong Ao answered, “I can’t be sure. Di Jiu, your Array Dao talent is far better than mine. In the future, you will be able to analyze a large array set up by the Illusory Array flags.”

A large array set up by the Illusory Array flags? His heart started palpitating when he heard that. He did not know anything about them, but he was proficient in various kinds of Foundation Orders. If he could set up a Nomological Array through his Spiritual Force in the void, even Zhong Ao might not necessarily be able to sense it.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force spread out and set up the Nomological Qi Circulation. The first Void Nomological Array flags were set up in the blink of an eye.

Di Jiu was ecstatic. He kept setting up the Void Nomological Array flags while he said, “Old Zhong, let’s join forces and set up a level-nine explosive array here first.”

Di Jiu would not treat this place as a conservation area despite the beautiful Brilliant Lake Palace. Although he seemed to set up the explosive arrays, he was actually continuously setting up Void Nomological Array flags. Not only did the flags contain Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, but they also contained Wind, Thunder, and Ice, and other elemental laws. Afterward, he even set up his Spatial Law Array flags with Time Law Array flags as well as Saber Intent Array flags.

Di Jiu wanted to set up the level-nine Explosive Immortal Array, and Zhong Ao did not mind.

His Array Dao was far above Di Jiu’s. Even if Di Jiu did not give it his all, Zhong Ao could set up the level-nine Explosive Immortal Array very quickly.

At the same time, Di Jiu also portrayed a level-seven Explosive Immortal Array. The difference with Zhong Ao’s array was that his was set up through the Nomological Array flags.

Unless they had the Ninth Dao Law, Di Jiu did not believe anyone would be able to see through his Nomological Array. Such an array was illusory and invisible. It was completely set up by all the elemental laws of Heaven and Earth.

Unfortunately, his Spiritual Force was not condensed enough. The Spiritual Force Training Art was a cultivation technique used to temper Spiritual Force but was unable to form an attack.

Otherwise, the Nomological Explosive Array he set up would definitely be more than a level-seven immortal array.

“We can go.” Di Jiu put away his control array flag and took the initiative to walk towards the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Defense Array.

Zhong Ao, who had helped set up the explosive arrays with Di Jiu, did not know that he had set up a void level-seven Explosive Immortal Array through the law instead of a level-nine Explosive Immortal Array.

“Brother Di, I reckon your array won’t be of much help,” Yin Wushang could not help but say when Di Jiu was done setting up the arrays.

Di Jiu knew what he meant. It would be strange if Ye Xi was unaware of the level-nine Explosive Immortal Array that had been set up.

However, he did not hope that the Explosive Immortal Array Zhong Ao had set up would be of help. The level-seven Explosive Immortal Array that he had set up through the law would be useful.

Di Jiu did not care, and Zhong Ao chuckled. “Even if Ye Xi is aware of the Explosive Immortal Arrays, he can only dream of getting rid of them easily.”
