Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

Boom! Di Jiu tore apart the Defense Array of the Starry Sky Immortal City’s auxiliary city with one saber move.

“Who would dare to break my Immortal City’s Defense Array?” An angry voice was heard and a man in a gray robe stepped out of the auxiliary city with one step.

“It’s the Starry Sky Immortal City’s City Lord Di Jiu…” Dozens of cultivators in the auxiliary city recognized Di Jiu, as his saber was too eye-catching.

Di Jiu had attacked the Starry Sky Immortal City auxiliary city’s Defense Array. Everyone could sense it. Qu Tong, Jing Luowen, and the others quickly rushed out to check.

“You’re Di Jiu?” the man in the gray robe asked in surprise. According to his understanding, Di Jiu’s Array Dao level was not bad. However, no matter how good it was, his cultivation level was limited and he could not have torn apart the Immortal City’s Defense Array with one saber move.

Before Di Jiu could answer, the man in the gray robe saw the Square Immortal Cauldron Di Jiu had placed aside and subconsciously shouted in shock, “The Square Immortal Cauldron…”

“Turned out to be a puppet.” Di Jiu did not bother answering him. Instead, he took a step forward and made a saber move with the Heavenly Aqua Saber in his hands.

The space instantly vanished with Di Jiu’s saber move. When the man in the gray robe had sensed this saber move, he had realized that the space he was in had vanished. He could not avoid it.

“Immortal Emperor…” The man in the gray robe thought of this and understood. Di Jiu was not an Immortal Emperor expert, but he had touched the time law with his saber move. The moment Di Jiu struck with his saber, time stopped for a breath.

“Pfft!” A trail of blood exploded. The man in the gray robe did not even block one saber move before he was struck between his eyebrows by Di Jiu.

Qu Tong and the others, who had just come out of the Starry Sky Immortal City, saw Di Jiu strike a late-stage Immortal King expert between his eyebrows with one saber move.

He was so powerful! The Ultimate Essence Immortal Manor Lord Tan Mo subconsciously fought a cold war.

When Di Jiu had left the Starry Sky Immortal City back then, he had been just a Golden Immortal. How many years had it been? He could already strike a late-stage Immortal King expert between his eyebrows.

Although he had still thought that only Di Jiu’s Array Dao was stronger than him previously, he now understood that the strength of an early-stage Immortal King was not enough in front of Di Jiu.

“City Lord, you have become an Immortal Supremacy?” Qu Tong asked excitedly as he rushed over.

Di Jiu laughed. “Not yet. I’m preparing to restore the light from providence in the Immortal World. When that happens, all the Sect Masters will leave the Starry Sky Immortal City. The city still needs to rely on your support.”

Qu Tong hit his chest. “City Lord, don’t worry. I’ll do it right.”

Although Di Jiu was familiar with many people in the Starry Sky Immortal City by now, he still appreciated Qu Tong the most. He would be at ease only if Qu Tong stayed in the Starry Sky Immortal City.

The other cultivators, who had originally been startled when Di Jiu had killed the late-stage Immortal King with one saber move, immediately turned their attention to Di Jiu. Jing Luowen stared at the Square Immortal Cauldron not far from Di Jiu and shouted with a trill, “This is the Square Immortal Cauldron?”

The Square Immortal Continent had entered a sunset state because the Square Immortal Cauldron that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World had been snatched away. The light from providence in the Immortal World had also been stripped away by the Square Immortal Cauldron and taken away.

Now that Di Jiu had brought back the Square Immortal Cauldron, it was indeed a shock.

Besides Jing Luowen, the other cultivators had all discovered the Square Immortal Cauldron and numerous Sect Masters’ hands trembled with excitement.

The Square Immortal Cauldron had returned. Did this signify that the Immortal World would once again be restored to its original state?

“City Lord, is this really the Square Immortal Cauldron?” Qu Tong and Yan Xiaosha could not complete their words from excitement. Their mouths were actually trembling.

Di Jiu said with cupped fists in a clear voice, “Fellow Daoists, when I arrived in the Square Immortal Continent back then, I did not dare believe that such a great immortal continent would enter a sunset state and be filled with undying killing intent aura either. This made me feel very upset and disappointed. There was not a single soul within hundreds of millions of miles in the entire Immortal World, and dead bones and desolation were everywhere.

I found out later that the Square Immortal Continent had become like this because there was a trash sect in the Immortal World called Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect. This trash sect had a scum Sect Master called Immortal Emperor Yi Mang. He drew away the Square Immortal Cauldron that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Square Immortal Continent, stripping the light from providence in the Immortal World and making it enter a sunset state.

With the help of Daoist Qu Tong, I found the Sky Bamboo River. We brought a group of Daoists who were determined to restore the Immortal World and established the Starry Sky Immortal City here to once again gather the light from providence in the Immortal World and allow the Square Immortal Continent to exist within the universe and not collapse, thus giving our descendants a place to stay for a long time.

After establishing the Starry Sky Immortal City, I left this place. When I arrived in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, I realized that the Square Immortal Continent had only been stripped off the light from providence shining in it and entered a sunset state. The other immortal continents remained undamaged.”

A sigh could be heard from the group. Many of them knew the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect’s cultivators and were extremely furious.

In the Square Immortal Continent, the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect had always been the other sects’ role model and received support from many Immortal World cultivators. In the end, this immortal sect had embezzled and stolen the immortal cauldron which ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World, causing hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Immortal World to die without being buried. Those who came afterward did not have a place to live either. This was a trash sect. That was indeed not an exaggeration.

Di Jiu added, “I traveled in this universe for some time and then I once again returned to the Square Immortal Continent because I had obtained two pretty good array flags. I intended to insert these two array flags and allow the light from providence shining in the Immortal World to condense a bit faster.

However, I didn’t expect that Yi Mang would not give up. That piece of trash came to the Square Immortal Continent for the second time and wanted to draw away the little bit of light from providence that had gathered in the Square Immortal Continent with great difficulty. This caused the Square Immortal Continent, that had acquired life-force gradually, to once again sink into destruction…”

The anger of the crowd could not be held back any longer. Numerous cultivators shouted loudly, “Kill that bastard Yi Mang!”

More and more cultivators joined in. Qu Tong and the others, who were fully aware that Di Jiu might have already killed Yi Mang, could not help joining in either.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand and the cultivators gathered there once again quieted down.

Di Jiu said clearly, “You are all right. I killed Yi Mang and took back the Square Immortal Cauldron that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World…”

After he said that, the excitement was hard to contain. Dozens of cultivators could not help but kneel on the ground. The Square Immortal Cauldron had returned. Did this mean that the Immortal World would once again be restored to its beautiful state? That they would be able to walk and cultivate as they wanted and not be confined in the Starry Sky Immortal City?

The Starry Sky Immortal City was perhaps the only immortal city in the Immortal World. The cultivators who could live in the Starry Sky Immortal City were very lucky.

However, everyone wanted an even bigger place. Since they were immortals, they wanted to roam in an Immortal World instead of being confined in the Starry Sky Immortal City.

In the end, hundreds of cultivators knelt on the ground in excitement. They longed to belong to a real Immortal World, not an Immortal World in a sunset state or a small city like the Starry Sky Immortal City.

Regardless of whether they were immortals or mortals, they hoped to have their own home and would not change their mind.

After the crowd sobered up from their excitement, Di Jiu said once again, “Fellow Daoists, I will once again put the Square Immortal Cauldron in the Square Immortal Continent, thus ensuring the light from providence will shine in the Immortal World and allow the Square Immortal Continent to prosper forever!”

“Prosper forever, the Square Immortal Continent! Prosper forever, City Lord Di!” Di Jiu’s prestige reached its peak in everyone’s hearts.

Countless voices were cheering with respect that welled deep in their hearts!

If a more selfish cultivator had obtained the Square Immortal Cauldron, the first thing he probably would have done was go as far as he could. In any case, the Square Immortal Continent was already in a sunset state. Obtaining the Square Immortal Cauldron would bring endless opportunities. How could he put this immortal cauldron back?

It was exactly because Di Jiu could put back a treasure like the Square Immortal Cauldron that everyone sincerely respected him.

“Fellow Daoists, after I return to the Square Immortal Continent, it should be able to be restored to its original prosperity as quickly as possible. I hope that everyone won’t act the same as before and forget everything because of benefits, thus sinking into endless destruction and massacres. You might be the cultivators who barely survived in the Square Immortal Continent. This is a spark. I hope that one day, the Square Immortal Continent will once again prosper because of us and radiate brightly in this universe, not enter a sunset state again,” Di Jiu told them loudly.

Voices chimed in, approving of Di Jiu’s words with enthusiasm.

Di Jiu knew very well that, despite their enthusiastic approval now, there was not much of a real effect on these people. They were touched now only because their Square Immortal Cauldron would be returned to the Square Immortal Continent. After a long time, they would still become what they were meant to.

However, at least he had told them in public that the Square Immortal Cauldron would return to the Square Immortal Continent. Di Jiu was not worried.

He did not know how the Square Immortal Cauldron had ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World previously or how it had been obtained by Immortal Emperor Yi Mang. This time, he would not protect the Square Immortal Cauldron by setting up Dharma Arrays. He planned to integrate the Square Immortal Cauldron into the void of the Square Immortal Continent through his own Foundation Order.

Even if someone refined the Square Immortal Continent one day, unless that person obtained a treasure like the Ninth Dao Law he had, they could only dream of taking away the Square Immortal Cauldron.
