Ninth In the World

Di Jiu stood in the center of the Thunderous Floating Island, allowing all kinds of thunder streaks and thunder showers to land on him. However, they were unable to tear him apart at all.

His Spiritual Force had completely covered the entire Thunderous Floating Island and his Array Dao had now surpassed the level-nine Immortal Array Emperor. Also, thanks to his Starry Sky Spiritual Sea, any changes in the Thunderous Floating Island could not escape his eyes.

Within half an hour, Di Jiu had captured different nomological auras in the Thunderous Floating Island. This was a kind of hidden spatial teleportation that ordinary people could not sense. Anyone would need a special kind of teleportation talisman if they wanted to enter through such a teleportation.

It was no wonder that Jing Luowen and Lu Xikun had said that there was an exit in the Thunderous Floating Island back then. He ended up entering the void through the Thunderous Floating Island’s exit.

Now, it seemed that the rumor Jing Luowen and Lu Xikun had heard likely existed not because this exit led to the void but somewhere else in the Square Immortal Continent. They had only been unsure of it.

Di Jiu did not have the teleportation talisman but he could see the hidden Teleportation Array. Therefore, he naturally did not need the talisman.

Di Jiu took a step into the Teleportation Array and a spatial teleportation force swept over without any immortal crystals and swept him away.

If this was the place Geng Ji had mentioned, Di Jiu was certain that Geng Ji had not entered from the place he had earlier. However, many people were entering the Thunderous Floating Island, so someone would eventually enter this Teleportation Array by chance.

Bam! A huge force swept over before Di Jiu’s legs landed on the ground. He was sure that someone had done something to this Teleportation Array. Without his Half-Sacred Body, his leg bones would have been broken.

The teleportation distance within the Square Immortal Continent would certainly not cause such a situation.

Once he landed on the ground, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force swept out.

His cultivation technique was the Nomological Qi Circulation and, at least in the Immortal World, nobody dared to say they had a better understanding of the Heaven Earth Law than him.

Once Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was outside, he discovered that this place had already been refined by someone, or perhaps was about to be refined. Besides the void he had entered, this place seemed to have become an individual territory like a personal Quintessential World.

Di Jiu was sure that he would not have guessed so, but this place was about to be refined into a personal world. How had Geng Ji gotten out?

Di Jiu was certain that someone knew he had landed here, let alone Geng Ji.

However, he was not worried. He would not be harmed by someone else even if this place was completely refined.

Di Jiu did not mind being found out by someone and did not even pretend to have a broken leg as he constantly set up nomological array flags.

Since he had been discovered by someone very quickly upon arriving here, the other party would be sending someone to take him away soon.

However, although Di Jiu had already casually set up tens of thousands of nomological array flags, nobody came over.

After one hour, someone appeared in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force.

They had to possess the strength of an early-stage Immortal King. The Essence Energy around them was imprisoned by a restriction. This person, who was standing beside the entrance of a level-nine Confinement Killing Array, was probably a guard.

“You…” Upon seeing Di Jiu leave like this, the guard was stunned.

There was someone in the Square Immortal Protectorate who could appear freely outside the Defense Array like this?

“I’ll borrow this…” Di Jiu had walked into the Defense Array.

In a short amount of time, he vanished from his sight. There were concealment restrictions on the Spiritual Force everywhere inside the Square Immortal Protectorate. This guard was stunned as he watched the spot where Di Jiu had vanished, not knowing what had happened.

He was outside the Defense Array. Did this mean that he was free already? Why had he still needed to enter the area outside the Defense Array then?

The guard very soon came to his senses. This was not something he should be harping on. He now had to report that someone had entered the Defense Array immediately.

Isolation restrictions were everywhere but they were not hard for Di Jiu to handle. When his Spiritual Force swept out, these restrictions seemed like a decoration against it.

Di Jiu saw an altar that was being constructed by at least countless cultivators’ bitter work.

“Huan Mingzi?” Di Jiu was pleasantly surprised to see Huan Mingzi.

He lifted his hands to rip apart the Defense Array outside the altar and reach Huan Mingzi’s side. “Senior Huan, how come you’re here?”

“You’re Di Jiu…” When Huan Mingzi recognized Di Jiu, his first reaction was not pleasant surprise but despair.

Di Jiu had come here obviously to construct this altar with them. Huan Mingzi knew too well what this altar was.

Thanks to the observation of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force, he discovered that Huan Mingzi had attained the early-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm and soon realized why that was so. It was not because Huan Mingzi had a strong gift but because his cultivation level was fake. It had all been accumulated with lifespan and life-force.

Unless a cultivator was foolish, he would not use his lifespan and life-force to accumulate his cultivation level. What was the reason behind cultivation? Was it to prolong one’s lifespan and seek to live forever? Why would he need to cultivate if he accumulated his cultivation level using his lifespan and life-force?

Sensing that something was amiss, Huan Mingzi said, “Sect Master, you entered the Immortal Ascension Array earlier than us. Theoretically, it shouldn’t have taken you so long…”

Dozens of whip-like shadows attacked and immediately interrupted Huan Mingzi. These whip-like shadows locked both Di Jiu and Huan Mingzi inside this deadly space.

Di Jiu lifted his hands and sent a fist move out. The man who used the shadows could not resist at all against Di Jiu’s fist move.

Bam! A mist of blood exploded and the man was turned into scraps by Di Jiu’s fist move.

Huan Mingzi was stunned as he looked at Di Jiu speechlessly. Di Jiu seemed different from him and had not been forced to come here. However, Di Jiu had not ascended much earlier than him. How had his cultivation level become so high?

Besides Huan Mingzi, the other cultivators constructing the altar also stopped their work and stared at Di Jiu in amazement.

How much strength did Di Jiu need to kill him with one fist move? He was rumored to be an expert in the mid-stage Immortal Emperor, so nobody dared to kill him.

Di Jiu slapped Huan Mingzi’s shoulders. Huan Mingzi could sense the restriction in his body that was constantly grinding away his life-force as his lifespan dissipated. At the moment, his cultivation level rapidly decreased, dropping from the Zenith Heaven Immortal to the Golden Immortal Realm in a short time.

However, Huan Mingzi was pleasantly surprised. He looked at his hands excitedly, pinching with all his might. He was convinced that the restriction in his body had been completely removed.

“Senior Huan, how did you come here? And did you see Di Di and Geng Ji?” Di Jiu hurriedly asked.

“When she entered the Immortal Ascension Array, Di Di must have sensed that something was wrong so she entered another void midway… Geng Ji came in and I thought of a way for him to escape…”

Di Di had the Sacred Spirit Root and the Sacred Spirit Eyes. It was normal that she had sensed that something was wrong.

Di Jiu then asked, “Senior Huan, Geng Ji ended up coming in again. Did you see him when he came in for the second time? Oh, that’s right. Who is Chi Zhengshan?”

“You should be asking me. I didn’t expect a heaven-defying person like you to come in. This is simply worth celebrating.” A calm and deep voice was heard before a young man in a purple robe appeared in front of everyone.

“Di Jiu, he’s called Xing Jing’ang. Everything here is related to him and his strength is unfathomable…” Huan Mingzi thought of his low cultivation level. He also knew how high Xing Jing’ang’s cultivation level was. He could only describe it as unfathomable.

“So you knew Geng Ji came in once again?” Di Jiu was calm. Xing Jing’ang’s cultivation level should have surpassed the Immortal Emperor Realm, which was very likely the cultivation realm Zhou Bujian and the others were after.

It was somewhat strange how he could do it since this was also the Immortal World.

Xing Jing’ang did not answer Di Jiu’s question. Instead, he eyed him up and down. He then nodded in satisfaction. “So you’re that Brother Jiu that Geng Ji mentioned? Not bad… Geng Ji is good, and so are you.”
