Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

Boom! A powerful force swept out, sending Di Jiu onto an iron rock mountain.

This strong impact turned an iron rock mountain of several kilometers into scraps. Di Jiu only heard the cracking sounds in his bones. Even though he had a Sacred Body, every inch of his bones was shattered by this rapid circulation of the spatial rift. Apart from that, most of his meridians also split open.

Plop! Di Jiu fell to the ground, unable to budge.

However, he was not disappointed at all. He was actually pleasantly surprised. He indeed looked like he was seriously injured, but he could fully recuperate from this kind of injury after some time. The most important thing was that he had stayed in the spatial rift for several years and swept out this time.

As expected, he needed luck to enter the spatial rift.

Even though there was nobody around, this place was clearly a continent given its ample Divine Spirit Qi. This meant that he had come to a place where cultivators survived.

It seemed like he could not go to the Immortal World for the time being and could only push back the agreement with Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei.

Looking up, he saw a faintly-discernible void whirlpool above his head that immediately disappeared when he scanned it with his Spiritual Force. He could not come into contact with what was in the void whirlpool.

Di Jiu was wondering if he had just been swept down by that void whirlpool since the void whirlpool above his head had vanished without a trace.

This made Di Jiu feel sure that he had been swept by that void whirlpool. It seemed like he had been lucky to end up in this continent thanks to the void whirlpool.

The void whirlpool above his head obviously appeared randomly and very quickly moved somewhere else. He was naturally lucky that he had been swept to a continent where cultivators survived.

Di Jiu settled down, took out a few healing elixirs, and swallowed them. After recuperating from his injuries, he stood up, wanting to scan his surroundings with his Spiritual Force.

As soon as he extended his Spiritual Force, an intense pain emerged in his Spiritual Sea. Thus, he promptly withdrew his Spiritual Force and realized his Spiritual Force had suffered damage.

A few extremely quick figures approached and appeared before Di Jiu in a very short time.

Out of the three men who came over, the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the late-stage Dao Birth while the other two were at the mid-stage Dao Birth.

The late-stage Dao Birth cultivator had a slightly tanned skin without eyebrows. After sizing up Di Jiu doubtfully, he suddenly asked, “Daoist, what happened here earlier? Why did a big iron rock mountain shatter all of a sudden?”

Di Jiu hurriedly answered, “I was putting myself to the test here. I did not expect a huge piece of meteorite to fall from the void suddenly, so I quickly avoided it. That piece of meteorite hit an iron rock mountain, causing it to turn into scraps. Since I avoided it too late, I suffered injuries.”

The three of them did not doubt Di Jiu’s words. The cultivators who put themselves to the test there were Itinerant Cultivators with low cultivation levels. Therefore, it was normal for a meteorite to smash the iron rock mountain and injure him.

“Friend, it’s very dangerous to enter the Magnetic Mountain from this place for body-tempering purposes. I suggest you do not go there. If you really want to temper your body, you might as well go to the Black River Earth Fire to put yourself to the test,” a mid-stage Dao Birth cultivator who scanned Di Jiu’s bloodstained arm suddenly told him.

Body-tempering on the Magnetic Mountain?

Di Jiu could not say that he had come from outside the void, so he could only reply, “I heard that the Magnetic Mountain is not bad, so I came here to try my luck. I didn’t expect that before I could enter the Magnetic Mountain, I would almost perish here.”

The slightly dark-skinned late-stage Dao Birth cultivator shook his head. “Friend, you are too careless. The reason cultivators rarely come to the Magnetic Mountain alone is that if you don’t go through the entrance of those major sects and temper your body step by step at those specific places, you will basically face death. I heard that a Primordial Chaos expert entered the Magnetic Mountain from another place based on his strength. As a result, he never came out again. Someone later saw his remains from a distance. He was sucked by the Magnetic Mountain and could not budge at all. His life-force was drawn away, leading to his death.”

Di Jiu finally understood some things. The Magnetic Mountain was like a magnet that sucked even the Principal Spirit and physical body of cultivators. This place was really terrifying.

Di Jiu said with a sigh, “Even if the few of you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have gone there. This place is indeed too dangerous. I nearly died before going in. If I really did go in, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to come out again. Do you guys have any other good places to recommend? As an Itinerant Cultivator, I don’t know where to go.”

“Ha ha… The Great Ultimate Realm has long been fragmented. Where would there still be any good places for a test trial? Unless you can join a top-notch sect… These sects have some mystic areas. However, not all ordinary disciples can enter them.” The tanned late-stage Dao Birth cultivator laughed, sounding helpless.

The Great Ultimate Realm? What was that place?

Di Jiu knew the realms that were at the same level as the Dao World—the Sacred Dao World and the Void Dragon Clan. Even though he had not been to the Sacred Dao World, he had been to the Dragon Clan. He had not expected to come to the Great Ultimate Realm now.

“Thank you, friends. I’ll find a place to recuperate first.” Di Jiu thanked them with cupped fists.

Suddenly, a rain of blood fell from the void, followed by a corpse that was hacked into two.

This corpse landed before the four of them. Then, a beautiful woman whose appearance did not seem to be inferior to Tang Beiwei’s looks, landed. She lifted her hand to take the ring of this corpse and burned the corpse into ashes with a ball of flame.

Even though Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea had suffered damage and his body was seriously injured, he still had foresight. He could see that this woman had the strength of an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert.

The three Dao Birth cultivators standing beside Di Jiu bowed before her. At the same time, they greeted her respectfully. “Greetings, Fairy Yueshu.”

Upon seeing Di Jiu not react, the woman named Yueshu scanned him before scanning the other three people. “The Magnetic Mountain is not a place you guys can visit. You’re only courting death by staying here.”

“Yes, we’re about to leave this place.” The tanned late-stage Dao Birth cultivator once again bowed.

All of a sudden, the woman lifted her hand and threw a healing elixir to Di Jiu. “This healing elixir is for you. You’re on your own.”

Then, her figure flickered and she disappeared.

Di Jiu had great foresight and could see extremely well that this woman had used a water-element nomological escape technique and escaped with the help of water-element laws. This technique seemed to have the same origin as Jiang Dai’s Five-Element escape technique. However, Di Jiu believed that Jiang Dai’s escape technique was far superior to this woman’s escape technique.

“Daoist, you’re really lucky to be given an elixir pill by Fairy Yueshu.” Another mid-stage Dao Birth cultivator looked at the elixir pill in Di Jiu’s possession enviously, sounding thirsty for it.

Di Jiu took a look at the elixir pill in his hands. It was only a middle-class Dao Birth divine pill, the Steep Rain Pill. To be frank, he could not bother picking up this kind of elixir pill even if it was thrown before him.

When the mid-stage Dao Birth cultivator said that, Di Jiu did not hesitate to throw the elixir pill over. “My injuries are nearly better. I don’t need this elixir pill, so I’ll give it to you.”

“You don’t want it?” the Dao Birth cultivator asked in disbelief as he subconsciously took the Steep Rain Pill thrown over.

“My injuries are indeed nearly better. Thank you, friends, for introducing me to the Black River Earth Fire. Take this and consider it a gift from me,” Di Jiu said magnanimously.

The Dao Birth cultivator put away the elixir pill in pleasant surprise and responded with cupped fists, “Thank you, Daoist. I have an introduction jade slip on the Black River Earth Fire here. This is for you.”

Di Jiu took it and thanked him before he said, “Oh, that’s right. Yueshu seemed to kill people at will. Does she have a very high status?”

The cultivator, who had accepted the pill Di Jiu had given him, answered sternly, “Daoist, Fairy Yueshu doesn’t have a simple background. She came from the Great Simplicity Ocean’s Sunken Fish Palace of the Great Simplicity Realm. Moon Traverse Divine Hall Young Hall Master Ren He of the Great Ultimate Realm used a Moon Core and a Sun Core as a betrothal gift to take Fairy Yueshu as his wife…”

“What?” Di Jiu’s heart started to palpitate wildly. Unexpectedly, he had heard about the Sun Core, which was the Quintessential Yang Core that he was looking for.
