Ninth In the World

Crack… Crack… Qian Fenghua stared in shock as the chains binding him fell apart and broke into pieces. This…

Qian Fenghua was well-aware of who had locked him: He Weiwei. He Weiwei had definitely betrayed him and would not have given him any chance of escaping after locking him here, even though he had never thought of escaping before. Now, it was shocking to see these chains falling apart.

A gentle force engulfed him before he could figure out what was going on.

A moment later, he landed on the ground.

“It is really you, Di Jiu. At least I’m not completely useless. The people I know are not all…” Qian Fenghua wanted to say something malicious but he could not do so when he thought of He Weiwei’s beauty.

“Master, I told you that year that I would come back to help you. Fortunately, I came here in time,” said Di Jiu respectfully as he bowed.

Qian Fenghua sighed. “Di Jiu, I am not qualified to be your Master. I feel guilty when you call me Master, as I did not teach you anything.”

“Let’s go. I have completely repaired the Night Star Continent. There is no need for you to continue staying here.” Di Jiu did not refute him. Qian Fenghua was the one who had guided his Array Dao. Even though the pointers given had not been much, this had helped Di Jiu not stray too far off the correct path. He was truly grateful for Qian Fenghua.

It was just like the Ninth Dao Law. Di Jiu was grateful for it as well.

“What is your cultivation level now? How were you able to remove that person’s chain Dharma treasure so easily?” Qian Fenghua could not see through Di Jiu’s true strength.

Di Jiu took out an elixir pill and a ring and gave them to Qian Fenghua. Then, he replied, “I truly do not know what my strength is currently. What I know is that I completed the Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation… I should have attained the Immortal Emperor Realm…”

He did really sense that he had broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. Unfortunately, he did not sense the Dao rune aura of an Immortal Emperor or a rise in his strength after attaining the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Qian Fenghua looked at Di Jiu speechlessly, recalling the latter’s cultivation level when he’d first met him. Di Jiu had already become an Immortal Emperor after such a short time? This… Qian Fenghua himself was knowledgeable but he had never seen someone as heaven-defying as Di Jiu.

“Oh, yes, did you find the Nomological Soil?” asked Qian Fenghua anxiously as he suddenly remembered something.

The Nomological Soil was very expensive. It was impressive and extremely generous of Di Jiu to use it to repair the Cultivation World situated on a low-level plane. Qian Fenghua refused to believe that Di Jiu had been able to repair the Night Star Continent without using the Nomological Soil. As Di Jiu had said, even an Immortal Emperor would need to use the Nomological Soil to repair the Night Star Continent.

Di Jiu shook his head. “I didn’t find the Nomological Soil. However, it is because of the cultivation technique and law I’m cultivating that I did it…”

He did not know how to explain, as he really had not used the Nomological Soil. What he had used was his own Nomological Qi Circulation. He had repaired the Night Star Continent’s broken laws by using his understanding of the Heaven Earth Law.

However, as a precautionary measure, Di Jiu had taken a piece of soil from his Ninth World to integrate it into the Night Star Continent.

The soil within his Ninth World was naturally not Nomological Soil. Of course, in Di Jiu’s eyes, this soil was not inferior to the Nomological Soil in any way. After all, this world had been constructed after the nirvana of his Spiritual Sea with the help of the Ninth Dao Law and the Sacred Yin Pearl.

“Because of the cultivation technique and law you are cultivating?” murmured Qian Fenghua, who was paying no attention to the changes the elixir pill he had consumed had caused to his body.

Several seconds passed before Qian Fenghua reacted. He stared at his palm in pleasant surprise. “Di Jiu, did you give me a grade-nine healing immortal pill? No, it must be a nine-patterned grade-nine immortal pill… Where did you obtain such a heaven-defying elixir pill?”

Di Jiu was well-aware of why Qian Fenghua would ask such a question, as he recognized that the man’s cultivation level should be at the late-stage Immortal Supremacy Realm. A cultivator at this cultivation level would have a hard time trying to obtain a grade-nine healing immortal pill, let alone a nine-patterned one. This was because such elixir pills were not something an ordinary Immortal Alchemy Emperor could refine.

Di Jiu did not conceal the truth. He just smiled and replied, “I just became a grade-nine Immortal Alchemy Emperor not long ago. Using the grade-nine immortal spiritual herbs I own, I refined a batch of grade-nine immortal pills. By the way, I placed some inside the ring I gave you…”

Qian Fenghua could not really process what Di Jiu had said. Instead, he was completing a Qi Circulation while muttering, “Why am I not experiencing any oppression?”

Then, he realized something. “Di Jiu, did you gain control of the Heaven Earth Law’s oppression of this space due to the cultivation technique you are cultivating? Ah! You are a grade-nine Immortal Alchemy Emperor as well?”

Qian Fenghua finally reacted. How could this be possible considering how old Di Jiu was? Di Jiu’s Array Dao was very powerful, yet he was also an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Alchemy Emperor. Furthermore, Di Jiu could resist the oppression of the Heaven Earth Law.

After all, what other explanation was there as to why Qian Fenghua had yet to sense the oppression of the Heaven Earth Law?

Genius. Indeed, the existence of such people could not be explained using ordinary logic. Today was the day he had finally seen one.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s right. It is indeed because of my cultivation technique. Therefore, we are leaving this place and heading to the Immortal World.”

So powerful… Di Jiu was really powerful…

Qian Fenghua truly did not know what else to say. Di Jiu’s capabilities had exceeded his understanding. He could accept that Di Jiu had become an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Alchemy Emperor within several hundred years despite the initial shock. However, what kind of strength was capable of resisting the oppression of the Heaven Earth Law? What kind of cultivation technique was this?

According to his own understanding, this was a feat an Immortal Emperor could not accomplish.

Qian Fenghua finally calmed down after a long moment. Anxiously, he inquired, “Di Jiu, you did go to the Square Immortal Continent, right? Did you go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City? Also, that woman…”

Qian Fenghua had originally wanted to caution Di Jiu to be careful in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for there were simply too many experts there. Besides, even more major sects had set up branches in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He suddenly thought of He Weiwei mid-sentence and sighed, unwilling to finish his sentence.

Di Jiu felt very sorry for Qian Fenghua. It was extremely unlucky that the latter had gotten to know a woman like He Weiwei and become cultivation partners with her. After some hesitation, Di Jiu admitted the truth. “Master, I killed both the woman and her lover. The two of them wanted to kill me. As my cultivation level was still low, I could only kill them to settle the matter.”

Qian Fenghua froze momentarily when he heard Di Jiu say that he had killed He Weiwei. Then, he heaved a long sigh. “Let’s go, Di Jiu. Let’s head to the Immortal World.”

Di Jiu immediately lifted his hand and ripped the void apart.

Upon seeing how easily Di Jiu ripped the void apart, Qian Fenghua realized that the cultivation technique Di Jiu was cultivating was certainly an extremely top-notch technique.

Di Jiu felt somewhat sentimental as well. He was still unable to rip apart the plane connecting the Immortal World to the Cultivation World but he was able to easily tear apart the plane connecting the Cultivation World to the Immortal World. This clearly showed that other cultivation techniques were incomparable to his nomological cultivation technique.

A boundless Heaven Earth Law aura surged over at Di Jiu, enveloping him the moment they stepped into the void of the Immortal World. He instantly sensed that his cultivation level rose exponentially and his Spiritual Sea expanded.

The Starry Sky Spiritual Sea could no longer be categorized into different levels. In Di Jiu’s opinion, his Spiritual Sea would remain a Starry Sky Spiritual Sea no matter how far it expanded. The only difference would be in upgrading his Spiritual Force following the expansion of his Spiritual Sea.

His Immortal Emperor domain was instantly formed. Di Jiu immediately took out all the high-grade immortal spirit meridians he possessed and the few supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians he owned. Among them were a supreme-grade thunder immortal meridian and a supreme-grade wood immortal meridian. Soon, Di Jiu had created a Spirit-Gathering Immortal Array.

His foundation was ample, which was why his cultivation started soaring when he had just arrived at the plane where the Immortal World was situated.

Qian Fenghua stared at Di Jiu excitedly. He could sense the changes in Di Jiu’s cultivation.

Then, he became ecstatic when he sensed a distinct Heaven Earth Law aura. As a ninth-stage Immortal Supremacy, he would definitely be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm if he had a Thearch of Grand Tenuity Restorative Elixir on hand. After all, he was experiencing a distinct Heaven Earth Law as well as the dense Heaven Earth Essence Energy surrounding Di Jiu.

Subconsciously, Qian Fenghua scanned his ring with his Spiritual Force. His hand shook as he actually saw a jade bottle in the ring labeled “Thearch of Grand Tenuity Restorative Elixir”.

Qian Fenghua felt extremely guilty as he stared at Di Jiu, whose strength was soaring rapidly. Di Jiu addressed him as “Master”, but he was the one who had given him a ring and the Thearch of Grand Tenuity Restorative Elixir.
