Ninth In the World

When Yan Hui’s gaze landed on the peaceful, calm roots of the Furious Root Trees underneath Di Jiu, she was shocked. She then told Di Jiu in shame, “Daoist Di, thank you for saving both of us. Otherwise, Yuxuan and I would not have been able to escape narrowly. I, Yan Hui, will definitely remember this debt.”

Di Jiu cupped his fists. “Senior, you speak too seriously. I have been through a lot with Yuxuan and she saved me in the past. I only happened to do so by chance this time.”

“Big Brother Di…” Mo Yuxuan seemed to have a lot to say to Di Jiu but had not had the chance all along. Heaven had taken pity on her and she had once again finally met Di Jiu.

She would definitely not have left with Ancestral Master Yan Hui but with Di Jiu if she had been given a choice. However, she could not say this out loud unless Di Jiu and Yan Hui brought it up first. Ancestral Master Yan Hui would certainly not do so. If Di Jiu brought it up, she would think of all kinds of excuses to leave with him.

Mo Yuxuan had only said three words before Yan Hui stopped her and once again told Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, Yuxuan and I have some urgent matters to attend to. We came here by mistake but were fortunately saved by you. Do you perhaps need any help from the two of us?”

Di Jiu, who was taken aback, subconsciously replied, “I don’t need your help with anything, Senior.”

Yan Hui felt ashamed. “Back in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, I left all of a sudden…”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “The past is in the past. Yuxuan and I are friends, so I don’t blame you.”

Yan Hui was even more ashamed. “Daoist Di, Yuxuan and I will leave first then. If I have the time, I will definitely go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and express my gratitude.”

Yan Hui pulled at Mo Yuxuan, who was at a loss, and once again cupped her fists toward Di Jiu before quickly leaving.

She seemed as if she was too embarrassed to face Di Jiu so she left in a hurry. However, Di Jiu felt that she was too embarrassed to say anything to him.

“Ancestral Master, I still have some things to say to Big Brother Di…” Before Mo Yuxuan could finish the other half of her sentence, she was pulled far away by Yan Hui.

Di Jiu stared in a daze at Mo Yuxuan, who had gotten far away from him. He frowned slightly, as he felt that Yan Hui was too overbearing.

However, he immediately thought about the relationship between Mo Yuxuan and Yan Hui. He could only shake his head speechlessly. They were the Virtuous Nirvana Sect’s Ancestral Master and a gifted disciple of the last generation. They were the equivalent of a family, while he was just friends with Mo Yuxuan. What right did he have to stop Yan Hui’s overbearing behavior?

…

Yan Hui left smoothly, perhaps because she knew that Di Jiu was friends with her and Mo Yuxuan.

When Di Jiu had come, he had checked out the nomological fluctuation in every direction of the surrounding space. Yan Hui had left quickly and rushed out of the Furious Forest within an hour.

“Ancestral Master…” Once they rushed out of the Furious Forest, Mo Yuxuan looked upset at Yan Hui. Tears finally came pouring down her face.

In this lifetime, her happiest days had been spent with Di Jiu, as well as Little Tree and Black Fire.

She had lived carefree without any worries during that period and nothing had bothered her. She had felt the concern and care of everyone around her.

However, everything had changed ever since she had met the Ancestral Master in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. She had to cultivate frantically and accept the Ancestral Master’s Dao influence. She also had to search for cultivating resources all over the place with the Ancestral Master.

She did not even have the time to think about how she’d ended up like this. She could only use the time when she was clear-headed in seclusion. She thought of Black Fire, Little Tree, Little Huang, and Di Jiu, who had gone through thick and thin with her…

She had once again met Di Jiu with great difficulty, but the Ancestral Master had not even given her the chance to talk.

Yan Hui took out the flying boat and entered it with Mo Yuxuan. After she controlled the flying boat and steered it somewhere far away, she sighed and said, “Yuxuan, are you blaming me for pulling you away in a hurry?”

Mo Yuxuan lowered her head and remained silent. She would rather leave the Ancestral Master if she could and return to Di Jiu.

Yan Hui sighed and said, “If I didn’t leave quickly, Di Jiu might have very likely killed both of us. He can do that. I admit that I underestimated him in the past.”

Mo Yuxuan suddenly lifted her head and firmly shook it with tears still in her eyes. “Ancestral Master, Big Brother Di is not like that. He definitely would not kill us.”

Yan Hui glanced calmly at Mo Yuxuan and said, “Yuxuan, you must know why we went to the Furious Forest, right? We know there is a weak node there. As long as we enter from that place, we will surely enter the Void Mountain. The Void Mountain is rumored to be an epoch-making treasure that contains endless treasures which surpass the Immortal World level…”

“That is nothing.” Mo Yuxuan did not fully understand what the Ancestral Master meant.

Yan Hui snorted. “Di Jiu went to the same place as us. He obviously knew about the Void Mountain and went to search for it. Think about it. If he guessed that we went to search for the Void Mountain as well and knew about the secrets of the Void Mountain, would he allow us to live? Don’t talk about the Rainbow Immortal Peach. It is far too different from the Void Mountain, like a drop of water compared to the sea.”

Mo Yuxuan opened her mouth wide in disbelief as she looked at the Ancestral Master. She definitely did not believe Di Jiu was such a person. He would not do such a thing even if there were precious items than the Void Mountain. The Ancestral Master did not understand him, which was why she said all these things.

Yan Hui said softly, “I know what you mean. Di Jiu is young, so how can he not be concerned about the top-notch experts in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City? The only possibility is that he is simply too wicked. He got rid of too many people who thought he was harmless and gathered all the top-notch cultivating resources and treasures…”

“No, Ancestral Master…” Mo Yuxuan did not wish to hear any slander about Di Jiu.

Yan Hui sighed and looked at Mo Yuxuan in concern. “Yuxuan, you don’t understand. Any expert will accumulate dead bodies and endless blood. Otherwise, what right do they have to obtain more cultivating resources than others? Just focus on looking at the tree roots of the Furious Root Trees in the Furious Forest. You will be aware of how strong Di Jiu is upon seeing their attitude.

The Furious Root Trees that wanted to swallow anything were so submissive before Di Jiu. This can only show how cruel he is. Back then, I thought that Di Jiu was dead for sure, but not only did he live, but his cultivation level also improved tremendously. Why do you think that is?”

Mo Yuxuan did not say anything else. She knew that she could not change the way the Ancestral Master saw Di Jiu even if she did. In that case, there was no need to change her view. It was fine as long as she did not change the way she saw him in her heart. Some people were one of a kind and in Mo Yuxuan’s heart, Di Jiu was exactly like that.

What the Ancestral Master had said might make sense for many cultivators, but it did not apply to Big Brother Di. He found the cultivating resources that he wanted through his own hard work and not by using the methods the Ancestral Master had mentioned.

…

Di Jiu once again checked the surrounding spatial law and his Spiritual Force started to permeate the void slowly.

Di Jiu drew up nomological array flags and set up Spatial Law Arrays.

Within three days, he found the location of the weak node, which was almost the same as the one Xing Jing-ang had provided.

If Black Fire, a level-nine immortal demon beast, came here, it would certainly rip it apart easily.

Di Jiu was not as gifted as Black Fire but he did not need too much force to rip apart this void either.

After he left behind some imprints, the Immortal Essence gathered and he had nomological Dao runes in each of his hands. The spatial rift, which was three feet tall and a foot wide, was ripped apart.

The boundless mysterious and esoteric Dao runes swept over with all kinds of void blade flares. Di Jiu’s body stretched and immediately rushed into the spatial rift.
