Ninth In the World

When Di Jiu and the others followed Ye Xi onto the Brilliant Lake, they admired Ye Xi’s design. They circled around the Brilliant Lake Palace’s Brilliant Lake and stayed suspended on the Nine-Turn Flower Gallery. All sorts of immortal spiritual fruits floated on the Brilliant Lake.

Everyone sat down on the Brilliant Lake, as they could conveniently take any immortal spiritual fruit they wanted and eat it while the Brilliant Lake flowed under them. Ye Xi was definitely creative.

The Brilliant Lake’s garden floated below them, and there was a maid to serve them beside each seat. Although the seat would move at any time, it followed a certain rule. No matter how it moved, everyone could catch sight of it.

Di Jiu took a look. There were almost 30 clients there. Most of them were at least fourth-stage Immortal Emperors, and there were around 10 Great Immortal Emperors and two to three early-stage Immortal Emperors.

As for Ai Qingbing, Immortal Emperor Melting Snow had not brought many disciples. Di Jiu was the only exception. His cultivation level possessed only the strength of an Immortal King, and he hadn’t been brought by an Immortal Emperor. On the other hand, he had brought three Immortal Emperors over.

The maids came over and poured everyone a cup of immortal wine. Ye Xi was the first to raise the wine cup in his hands and say, “You all came here from different immortal continents to have a cup of wine and eat a few wild fruits. Come on, I’ll offer everyone a cup first. Thank you for coming here.”

Then, Ye Xi took the initiative to drink the wine in his hands in one mouthful.

Everyone raised their wine cups one by one and downed the contents. Di Jiu did not make a toast and neither did Yin Wushang, Zhong Ao, and Chen Zishun.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, Senior Ye is at the top of the Four Major Immortal Continents and he invited us to taste top-notch immortal spirit fruits. Why did Alchemy Emperor Di not drink the wine down in one gulp?” a delicate, pretty male cultivator suddenly asked Di Jiu in a cold voice.

Di Jiu stared at this man with a cold expression. “You’re nothing but a first-stage Immortal Emperor. What right do you have to talk to an Alchemy Emperor like me?”

This pretty boy wanted to please Ye Xi, but Di Jiu did not care. He was blind if he had dared use him as a pawn.

The status of an Immortal Alchemy Emperor was indeed far above a first-stage Immortal Emperor.

“If I, Fang Qi, made you uncomfortable, you can come at me and I will accept it, Alchemy Emperor Di.” The pretty boy snorted coldly. It was clear that he did not pay any attention to Di Jiu.

After Fang Qi finished his words, a delicate, pretty woman beside Fang Qi added, “I am one with my husband. If Alchemy Emperor Di wants to provoke him, I, He Weiwei, will accept it.”

He Weiwei? Di Jiu stared at her. Her name was really familiar. However, she was only a third-stage Immortal Emperor and he had never seen her before.

“Ha ha…” Ye Xi laughed. “When they came here, I suppose they still didn’t know about Alchemy Emperor Di and his Starry Sky Tea. His Starry Sky Tea is the best in the Immortal World. Such tea cannot be bought with immortal crystals, so he naturally wouldn’t take my Brilliant Lake Palace’s wine seriously. Of course, Alchemy Emperor Di came here because he wanted to share the formula of the Starry Sky Tea with everyone. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted time to come here.”

Di Jiu sneered silently. He knew there was more to come. Ye Xi would provide a good excuse to make a move on him later.

He had come here to provoke Ye Xi. If only people had come slowly…

Hey, something was not right. Di Jiu suddenly recalled who He Weiwei was.

He had always relied on the Ninth Dao Law for cultivation, even though his cultivation technique was related to it. One could also say that he did not have a Master.

However, Di Jiu had a Master: Qian Fenghua. Qian Fenghua’s cultivation partner had been He Weiwei.

This scheming woman had made Qian Fenghua a cuckold. She had deceived Qian Fenghua and made him destroy his own mother planet. He had lived in torment and guilt for a lifetime and even locked his Night Star Continent. Unless the Night Star Continent was returned to its original state, Qian Fenghua had vowed not to leave the place.

In fact, now that Qian Fenghua had made this vow, there was no possibility he could live, as the Night Star Continent could never return to its original state. Even an Immortal Emperor would not be able to restore the greatest cultivation continents.

Di Jiu was proficient in all kinds of Foundation Orders, yet even he did not dare talk about restoring the Night Star Continent upon becoming an Immortal Emperor.

He Weiwei knew Qian Fenghua very well. After she had set up a plot against him, she had locked him under the Night Star Continent.

If Qian Fenghua had not met Di Jiu and become a skeleton, nobody would have known why.

She was such a vicious woman that killing intent was instantly born in Di Jiu’s heart. Qian Fenghua was his Master after all. When he had the capability, he would definitely return to restore the Night Star Continent. However, before that happened, he had to kill this woman.

Di Jiu set up Nomological Array flags one after another and said at the same time, “Very good, I’ll see how the two of you take it later.”

When Di Jiu fluctuated his Spiritual Force, all the Immortal Emperors present sensed it. However, nobody thought that he was actually setting up Nomological Array flags and using them to check out everyone’s strength.

Di Jiu was only an Immortal King, so it was inevitable that he would use his Spiritual Force to check out everyone’s strength.

Ai Qingbing had a rather good impression of Di Jiu, who seemed to be around her age. He was already an Immortal Alchemy Emperor despite his age, so he deserved everyone’s respect.Read more chapter on NovelFull

Of course, Di Jiu treated her and her Master courteously.

In a short time, she noticed that Di Jiu had offended numerous people and she sent a worried voice transmission to her Master, Immortal Emperor Melting Snow. “Master, Alchemy Master Di has offended many people in the Brilliant Lake Palace. What will happen later?”

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow smiled slightly. “Bing-er, you don’t have to worry about this. You have to work hard to improve your strength when you go back this time. The Dao discussion on the Demonic Clothing Mountain is about to begin and it concerns the Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Dao system inheritance.”

“Yes, Master,” Ai Qingbing responded hurriedly. Although she was a bit worried about Di Jiu, she did not ask anything else.

“Our Immortal Fruit Meeting and Immortal Trade Meeting are about to begin. Let me do this first. My array flag is called the Green Lotus Flag…” Ye Xi took out a wooden box as he spoke.

Di Jiu’s heart jumped when he heard about the Green Lotus Flag. Was Ye Xi crazy? He had actually taken it out for a trade? This was a connate treasure and one of the Five-Element Flags. He already possessed three of them and lacked the Green Lotus Flag and the Yellow Apricot Flag.

Di Jiu and the others were startled by Ye Xi.

It was clear that everyone had heard of the famous Five-Element Flags. Nobody believed that Ye Xi would be generous enough to take out the Green Lotus Flag for a trade.

As expected, Ye Xi added, “My Green Lotus Flag is strange. It looks like there is no problem with it, but I’m unable to refine it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to trade this flag.”

Ye Xi opened the jade box and took out an ancient green flag.

The moment Ye Xi took out this flag, everyone’s Spiritual Force was on it, including Di Jiu’s.

An ancient aura spread and a very pure wood-element aura spread out along with it.

Was this really the Green Lotus Flag? Di Jiu was excited. Without the slightest hesitation, he used a wood-element nomological aura to permeate the Green Lotus Flag.

It was fake!

Di Jiu, who possessed three of the Five-Element Flags, was sure that the Green Lotus Flag was a fake. No matter how he looked at the flag and how his Spiritual Force scanned it, it was not the real thing. If Di Jiu had not handled three of the Five-Element Flags before, he would also have been fooled. Even though he was proficient in all kinds of Foundation Orders, he would not have been able to distinguish it.

Ye Xi sighed and said, “This flag is a connate treasure no matter how you look at it, so there shouldn’t be any problems. However, I suspect that it is fake. Otherwise, I would have been able to refine it given my strength. Regardless of whether my judgment is right or wrong, I intend to trade it.”

Di Jiu thought deep down that this bastard really had his ways. He obviously wanted to cheat someone. He even said so openly.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, I heard that you’ve obtained Xiling Yuanyi’s White Cloud Bound Flag. Could you take it out for everyone to compare?” Thunder Yang Sect’s Grand Elder, Jie Di, suddenly told Di Jiu with a smile.

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right. I also heard Elder Jie Di has a very good cultivation partner. Could you take her out for everyone to use and then compare?”

“You must have a death wish!” Jie Di suddenly stood up, his aura feeling majestic. His killing aura swept towards Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not bother moving as he said disdainfully, “You asked for this first, idiot.”

He definitely could not strike now. If he did, Ye Xi would not hold an Immortal Trade Meeting.
