Ninth In the World

“The saber array! A level-five Divine Array?” Once Di Jiu’s saber array appeared, Jin Chengxun’s expression changed. Without hesitation, he took out a talisman and activated it.

Once this level-five Divine Saber Array appeared, Jin Chengxun knew that if he did not leave today, he would die without a doubt.

However, he immediately realized that Di Jiu’s Divine Saber Array did not only bind his Void Spiky Wolves but also locked this space at the same time.

Pfft! Pfft! Bloody mists splattered, followed by a pile of Void Spiky Wolves that were killed by the Divine Saber Array.

Jin Chengxun frantically swept up the huge spikes in his hands, filled with despair deep down. He simply did not know how a mere Primordial Dao cultivator like Di Jiu could drive over tens of thousands of saber weapons that were mostly middle-grade divine weapons and high-grade divine weapons.

As for how Di Jiu had purchased so many divine weapons, that was no longer important.

As if wanting to break the void space, the huge spikes carried all the Dao runes of Jin Chengxun’s Divine Essence to once again strike Di Jiu.

Di Jiu did not have any intention of getting out of the way. His Heavenly Aqua Saber slashed out with a gaudy saber flare.

The void instantly turned bleak. Bloody mists filled up this space and added to this declination.

Past scenery abruptly floated before Jin Chengxun’s eyes, making him suddenly feel like he had aged.

A chilling feeling approached, and Jin Chengxun fought a cold battle before he woke up suddenly. The Heavenly Aqua Saber had already struck his huge spikes.

An even chillier Saber Qi assailed him. Jin Chengxun only felt the chilliness of the Saber Qi. It was as magnificent as the blowing wind and cold water. No, it was magnificent for that chilly Saber Qi but a deep sorrow for him.

Boom! The Heavenly Aqua Saber struck the huge spikes, creating traces of cracks. Then, the Heavenly Aqua Saber did not stop and landed between Jin Chengxun’s eyebrows.

Pfft! Bloody mists exploded. Jin Chengxun, who was resigned to this, only had two words in his mind: So powerful…

Di Jiu was so powerful. He finally understood why the five Primordial Chaos experts who had besieged Sacred Dao Sect Master Ye had perished. It turned out that rumors were not necessarily false. A Primordial Dao cultivator could really kill a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor easily.

Jin Chengxun’s Principal Spirit spilled over and he looked at Di Jiu with a sigh. Then, this Principal Spirit was turned into scraps by the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

When Di Jiu put away the Heavenly Aqua Saber, most of the Void Spiky Wolves had been killed by the saber array. After Jin Chengxun perished, some of them lost their will to fight and rushed toward the void one after another.

Di Jiu opened his palm to draw out thunder flares. His saber array also extended out and once again bound the Void Spiky Wolves.

After half an hour, this void’s tranquility was restored.

…

Di Jiu once again returned to the Void City. Before he had even stepped into the Void City, he immediately saw the yellow-haired woman who had helped him at the Divine Phoenix Inn. He hurriedly said with cupped fists, “Greetings, Senior.”

The yellow-haired woman also saw Di Jiu and shouted in astonishment, “You’re alright?”

Di Jiu looked at her in confusion. “Senior, what could happen to me?”

The yellow-haired woman frowned and replied, “When I returned to the inn just now, I heard that you went out. I immediately went to search for you. Then, I heard from a friend that you followed the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun out. Even though I really wanted to help you, I am powerless outside the Void City…”

She then seemed to sense that this was not what she’d wanted to say. Thus, she hurriedly added, “How are you fine after following Jin Chengxun out?”

Di Jiu chuckled. “Oh, you’re talking about Jin Chengxun? He’s very reasonable. I had a misunderstanding with him. After I talked some sense into him, he believed I was right. Therefore, he left and did not say anything.”

In his heart, Di Jiu added that Jin Chengxun had been very serene when he’d left.

The yellow-haired woman did not answer Di Jiu but she sized him up. After some time, she said, “I’m Tang Xitan from the Phoenix Clan. I’m also a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor left in the Void City by the Phoenix Clan.”

Di Jiu silently told himself that he had known she was only an early-stage Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor inferior to Jin Chengxun.

After she was done introducing herself, Tang Xitan added, “Di Jiu, you are probably not simple. You killed the Sea Clan’s Wen Tian with one fist move and even persuaded Jin Chengxun to leave. He he…”

Di Jiu nodded his head solemnly. “Yes, I have my ways. Otherwise, I would not have dared to come to the Void City.”

Tang Xitan rubbed her forehead. Even though she had said that Di Jiu was not simple, she wanted to find out more about Di Jiu’s strength. She had not expected him to be so honest or say that he had his ways. This made Tang Xitan doubt his words. As for whether he had persuaded Jin Chengxun to leave, nobody would believe that.

“Senior Tang, if there is nothing else, I will go back and enter reclusive cultivation.” Upon seeing that Tang Xitan was not saying a word, Di Jiu did not continue waiting.

“Hold up…” Tang Xitan called out. “I came back to the Void City this time to search for a friend of mine so they could attend a gathering with me. Since that friend is not present, why don’t you accompany me? Besides, you’re not in a hurry to enter reclusive cultivation.”

Di Jiu apologized. “Senior Tang, you know that two friends of mine are staying at your inn. Although my strength is fine and nobody would dare to make a move on them in the Void City, it would be hard to ensure that if I left this place.”

Tang Xitan rolled her eyes at Di Jiu. “Di Jiu, do you think the Phoenix Clan is just for show? That inn belongs to the Phoenix Clan. Who would dare to make a move there?”

Di Jiu chuckled. “That might not necessarily be the case, Senior. If you had not come that time, I’m afraid they would have been taken away by the expert of the Demon Clan.”

Upon hearing that, Tang Xitan slightly reddened. Although the Phoenix Clan was not bad indeed, they did not have the power to make sure that nobody caused trouble in the Void City.

She could only reply, “Don’t worry. I will send a message to tell them. If the Phoenix Clan gets involved, nobody will dare cause trouble at all.”

Just as Di Jiu was about to find another excuse to reject her, Tang Xitan said, “If my guess is correct, the saber weapon behind you was refined with Whirling Sand and Heaven Saber Pure Gold. The Heaven Saber Pure Gold is trash, but Whirling Sand is not simple. It only exists in the lowest realm and it is unobtainable here. That is a treasure with no level that can allow a treasure to advance automatically. However, this saber of yours advanced with the Zenith Divine Metal and is only considered a middle-grade divine weapon.”

Di Jiu looked at Tang Xitan in amazement. She could see through his Heavenly Aqua Saber with one glance?

“You don’t have to find it strange that I can see the Whirling Sand in your saber weapon. That’s a material with the highest level in the Buddha World. Even though it isn’t connate, it can be considered no weaker than any connate material. I can see it because the Phoenix Clan is very strong and good at blacksmithing and I’m a Blacksmithing Grandmaster…”

Di Jiu was not surprised by that. He was a Blacksmithing Grandmaster too, but that was considered insignificant.

“This saber weapon of yours is refined by a special method and carries a Heaven Earth Dao rune aura. However, even though the blacksmith who refined this saber weapon for you had great capabilities, he did not notice some small details…” While saying that, Tang Xitan took out a jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the jade slip and he immediately understood what was going on. When he had refined the Heavenly Aqua Saber, he had neglected some other really basic things. He felt very awkward, as his Blacksmith Dao had been inherited from the Nomological Dao. Those basic things equaled countless years of blacksmith experience. Without a Master, he naturally was unaware of this. Even though he had found out, it was only afterward. It was no wonder Tang Xitan could see the Whirling Sand in his Heavenly Aqua Saber. He just had to refine it once again.

Tang Xitan was unaware that Di Jiu was the one who had refined his Heavenly Aqua Saber. She thus added, “Due to poor starting materials, you couldn’t have advanced it if you hadn’t added the Zenith Divine Metal. If you still wish to advance it, you’ll need another material.”

“What kind of material?” Di Jiu blurted out.
