Ninth In the World

Although the Galaxy Master Sect had changed its Sect Master, Di Jiu took Xiangnu with him and left the Small Central World.

Both Di Di and Geng Ji weren’t around. According to Wei Shanshan, they had already gone to the Immortal World. Therefore, Di Jiu wasn’t in the mood to stay at the Galaxy Master Sect any longer. He was in a hurry to check on his master, Qian Fenghua. He had to return to the Immortal World as soon as possible regardless of whether he could repair the Night Star Continent.

…

At the top of the Demonic Clothing Mountain, Weapon Emperor Ping Ji moved onto the stage, which was still stained with blood, and declared loudly, “After three days of competition, the results of the second round are out. In first place, we have Zhangsun Huang from the Peace Hotel of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City; in second place, Ai Qingbing from Yaohua Snow Mountain; in third place, Zhou Hechen from the Sword Shift Immortal Sect; in fourth place, Yue He-er from the Heavenly Cloud Dao; and in fifth place, Xie Cheng from the Starry Demon Palace. Now, we shall invite Zhangsun Huang, the victor, into the mystic area of the Demonic Clothing Mountain. He can spend one month inside.”

Both Black Fire and Zhangsun Huang stood up excitedly after Ping Ji was done talking.

Zhangsun Huang had heard about the mystic area of the Demonic Clothing Mountain far too many times ever since he was young but hadn’t expected to be the first one to enter. It felt like a dream.

Black Fire was equally excited. He had already told Zhangsun Huang what he needed a long time ago. He’d definitely become a level-nine immortal demon after Zhangsun Huang came out of the mystic area. When that happened, he would be able to go anywhere he wanted to just by tearing space apart.

“Huang-er…” Xie Wanling felt bitter. He had never expected that Xie Huang, who had been carefully chosen by him, would come in fifth. This meant that all his effort throughout these years had been in vain. After all, he could have clinched the fifth place even if he hadn’t taken part in the martial arts competition.

On the other hand, Xie Huang—well, his name was Zhangsun Huang now—who had been kicked out, was the victor. There was nothing more ironic than this.

However, for the sake of the Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit, he had to appeal to Zhangsun Huang.

There would be one to two Supreme Chasm Dao Fruits at every Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. For the sake of obtaining them, he had to plead with Zhangsun Huang.

By now, the entrance to the mystic area of the Demonic Clothing Mountain was already open. Zhangsun Huang stopped and glanced at Xie Wanling expressionlessly.

“I was indeed more partial to your brother Xie Cheng in the past…”

However, Zhangsun Huang replied calmly before Xie Wanling could even finish his sentence, “I’ve already died once. My life doesn’t belong to the Starry Demon Palace anymore. My Big Brother saved my life. Ever since I lost my life and my mother was imprisoned, my family name is no longer Xie, and I have nothing to do with the Starry Demon Palace.”

After Zhangsun Huang said that, he didn’t even wait for Xie Wanling’s response before he bolted into the mystic area.

…

After Di Jiu sent Xiangnu into his Quintessential World and reminded her to keep cultivating in seclusion, he tore open the plane and descended on the Polar Night Sky Market.

His Spiritual Force permeated the night market and he found Qian Fenghua with his head down. If it wasn’t for his powerful cultivation, he wouldn’t have been able to sense that Qian Fenghua was alive.

However, Di Jiu knew that Qian Fenghua definitely couldn’t last for another couple hundred years given his current state.

He took out several array flags and tossed them. He even planted several middle-grade immortal meridians in the depths of the Night Star Continent.

Qian Fenghua had split the Night Star Continent into the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent because of He Weiwei’s purposeful scheme. Qian Fenghua felt guilty and had thus locked himself up underneath the Polar Night Continent and tried to repair the Night Star Continent as much as he could.

However, his strength was limited. Besides, repairing a continent’s tattered laws didn’t just require high cultivation levels. One also had to understand Heaven Earth Law extremely well. Qian Fenghua was clearly far from that level.

Although Di Jiu had repaired the Night Star Continent many years ago, a crack had once again appeared in the Polar Night Star Sky Market. Even though it was less than five feet wide at the moment, one could foresee that the crack would grow wider as time went on.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force engulfed the entire Night Star Continent. In the past, he’d had to listen to Qian Fenghua because he hadn’t known where he should start repairing. He had barely managed to help Qian Fenghua piece the two parts of the Night Star Continent together, but that couldn’t even qualify as a superficial solution.

Now, with his Spiritual Force engulfing the entire continent, he began capturing all the tattered Heaven Earth Laws and repairing them rapidly.

At this moment, all the cultivators, regardless of whether they were on the Polar Night Continent or the Half-Screen Continent, could clearly sense the Heaven Earth Laws getting increasingly clear. The Spirit Qi was no longer disintegrating. On the contrary, it was becoming more condensed.

Some cultivators who had gone into hiding because their cultivation couldn’t progress any further rushed out. They seemed shocked while they were mumbling at the sky. “Could someone be repairing the Night Star Continent?”

Most cultivators sat down and began cultivating like crazy. Their cultivation levels, which hadn’t improved in many years, started to skyrocket. Many cultivators reached the Void Spirit and the Pioneer Sea Realm…

There were even a few veteran experts at the Life Tribulation Realm who had begun to break through to the True Form Realm.

Heaven and earth started buzzing and booming. Even an idiot could tell that someone was actually repairing the Night Star Continent.

The continent was about to revert to its unbroken state. It would no longer be a continent where cultivators weren’t allowed to progress to the True Form Realm. It would soon be no different from the other continents and become a continent that was truly fit for cultivation.

Excitement and joy filled the entire Night Star Continent at this moment. The Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent were no longer two separate entities.

…

At the bottom of the Sky Market, Qian Fenghua, who had his head down, suddenly looked up over the Sky Market as if something had awakened him.

Ever since he had asked Di Jiu to help with the initial repairs of the Night Star Continent, his cultivation level had fallen too sharply and been barely enough to survive.

Although his Spiritual Force couldn’t detect Di Jiu, he knew very well that someone was repairing the Night Star Continent. This was something he had been doing but had never managed to complete.

He had been filled with guilt after he had split the continent into two. His heart had been filled with pain from that moment onwards. He’d felt like the most ungrateful person in the world for tearing his home planet apart.

Qian Fenghua was trembling with excitement when he sensed that the Heaven Earth Law of the Night Star Continent was becoming clearer and was getting repaired at an increasing rate.

As long as the continent could be restored, he’d have no regrets even if he died immediately.

However, who was repairing the Night Star Continent? Who would do that?

He and Di Jiu were the only ones that had ever repaired the continent. Since merely around 200 years had passed, Di Jiu couldn’t possibly be back again to repair the continent. He didn’t doubt Di Jiu’s words, but he was certain that no matter how gifted Di Jiu was, he wouldn’t be capable of repairing the continent in such a short time.

Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn’t necessarily be capable of doing that, as repairing the Night Star Continent required more than a high cultivation level. One had to understand Heaven Earth Law to the core. Qian Fenghua knew that even he wouldn’t be capable of repairing the continent himself even if his cultivation level was completely restored, much less Di Jiu.

The main reason he wasn’t willing to leave was because of guilt. He had been hoping that he could end his life with the Night Star Continent one day.

How could he possibly remain calm now that someone had actually come to repair the Night Star Continent?

Boom! Boom! Boom! Following a continuous rumble, Qian Fenghua felt the Heaven Earth Law around him becoming clearer and clearer, so much so that he felt suppressed by it.

At this moment, rather than panicking because he was suppressed, he felt intense joy from the bottom of his heart. He even wanted to scream out loud.

Suddenly, he heard a clear voice say, “I am Di Jiu from the Night Star Continent’s Galaxy Sect and I am repairing the continent on behalf of my master, Qian Fenghua. Now that the Night Star Continent has been completely repaired and there are no longer any restrictions on cultivation levels, I hope that everyone will love and protect their continent and refrain from any activities that would lead to mass destruction…”

As Di Jiu finished his last sentence, he threw out several top-notch array flags and completely stabilized the Night Star Continent.

Meanwhile, all the cultivators of the Night Star Continent prayed towards the void. Countless cultivators cried, as even the most ruthless cultivators felt grateful for Di Jiu.

He had given them hope and the possibility to continue cultivating.

Some of them even remembered who Di Jiu was. Back then, he had also begun the initial repairs of the Night Star Continent. This made them feel even more grateful for him.

Qian Fenghua was actually shaking with excitement. He wasn’t seeing things. It was Di Jiu. He was actually here. Regardless of how he had managed to accomplish this, Qian Fenghua felt like he could die without any regrets at this very moment.
