Ninth In the World

Upon finding out that Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were the ones chasing after Feng Yu’er to kill her, Tu Zhong decided not to offend the two people in front of him.

Now that Di Jiu had inquired about Feng Yu’er, he said quickly, “I don’t know where Feng Yu’er’s territory is now. All I know is that she is from the Phoenix Clan and she once stayed in the Boundless Palace. Since she cultivates the Wither Dao cultivation technique, she often uses the blood and life-force of cultivators to cultivate the Dao technique.”

The Phoenix Clan? The Boundless Palace?

Immediately, Di Jiu frowned. Regardless of whether he was familiar with the Phoenix Clan, the Phoenix Clan did not cultivate the Wither Dao. He knew Tang Xitan, who was from the Phoenix Clan, and she was a good person.

“You’re saying that Feng Yu’er comes from the Phoenix Clan and cultivates the Wither Dao?” Di Jiu sounded somewhat cold.

In any case, Tu Zhong was unwilling to offend the people who were chasing after Feng Yu’er to kill her, as he would basically be causing himself trouble. When Di Jiu doubted his words, he immediately explained. “The Boundless Palace must have been left behind by the Phoenix Clan. Afterward, the Palatial Lord of the Boundless Palace seemed to offend a top-notch expert. As a result, he was chased and he disappeared without a trace, causing the Boundless Palace to sink into chaos completely and making their disciples scatter. Feng Yu’er also left at the time.

“Later on, the Chaos Realm appeared and Feng Yu’er went there. She seemed to obtain the legacy of a withered wooden dummy and she cultivated it into the Wither Dao.”

Ling Xiaoshuang explained from the side, “Big Brother Di, I think what Planet Master Tu said is true. The Palatial Lord of the Boundless Palace is called Feng Sihen, and nobody knows whether he is dead or alive. He bullied others and even robbed them based on his own strength. Then, he ended up meeting an expert. I don’t know how Feng Sihen died, but the information regarding the Boundless Palace is generally true.”

Ling Xiaoshuang did not know who Feng Sihen had offended but she had heard of this.

Upon hearing Ling Xiaoshuang call him Big Brother Di Jiu, Tu Zhong was shocked and his scalp went numb. Ling Xiaoshuang was clearly a Dao Integration expert, yet she still called him Big Brother Di Jiu. Evidently, Di Jiu’s strength and position were stronger than Ling Xiaoshuang’s.

Di Jiu nodded his head and looked at Tu Zhong before he said, “Carry on. Where could Feng Yu’er have gone?”

Tu Zhong said with a bitter smile, “Daoist Di, I really don’t know. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to tell you. After all, she used a Plane Split Talisman in my territory.”

Tu Zhong did not find Di Jiu’s aggressive interrogation attitude strange. In his place, he might have been tougher than Di Jiu.

Although Di Jiu was very helpless, he believed that Tu Zhong should not have deceived him.

“Alright. I still have one more question. Do you know where the Nie Planet is?” Di Jiu asked. He believed that Tu Zhong very likely knew where it was.

Tu Zhong nodded. “I know. The Nie Planet is actually not a planet but a family. Their family head is called Nie Changping.”

“Where is this family?” Ling Xiaoshuang, who was anxious about Cai Ji, could not help but ask.

Tu Zhong had no intention of hiding anything. “I heard that the Nie Family originally belonged to the Seven Aqua Realm. After Nie Changping obtained an opportunity in the Chaos Realm, he moved to Heaven’s Beyond. The Nie Family, which is now at Heaven’s Beyond, is one of the most top-notch families.”

Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang looked at each other. Unexpectedly, this still led back to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth after such a long time.

“Do you have the locale ball of Heaven’s Beyond?” Di Jiu immediately asked.

Tu Zhong took out a galaxy locale ball and handed it to Di Jiu without hesitation before saying, “I do have this locale ball, but it’ll take many years to go there now even with a high-grade flying divine weapon. This is because, after the war, many Teleportation Arrays were abolished until the Jade River Planet shattered. As a result, Heaven’s Beyond has fewer connections to the outside world.”

“Why?” Di Jiu subconsciously asked.

Tu Zhong explained with a sigh, “It’s because the Jade River Planet has many Teleportation Arrays that lead to various places in the void. Since the closest and most convenient planet the Jade River Planet used to communicate with Heaven’s Beyond shattered, it is now a lot more difficult to go there for ordinary cultivators.”

Di Jiu stood up and told Tu Zhong with cupped fists, “Thank you for telling me all this, Planet Master Tu. We won’t disturb you any further.”

Upon seeing Di Jiu leave, Tu Zhong hurriedly stood up to send them off.

…

After leaving the One Way Star Continent, Ling Xiaoshuang controlled the high-grade flying divine weapon to hasten their journey while Di Jiu went into the inner cabin to enter seclusion.

Di Jiu wanted to go to Heaven’s Beyond after reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm. However, he knew that he needed an opportunity to advance now. He had been trapped for thousands of years in the past and had not been able to advance then, let alone now. Unfortunately, when he had been in the Void City, he had not obtained the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit. Therefore, it was much more difficult for him to advance to the Primordial Chaos.

At the moment, Di Jiu’s seclusion was mainly meant to advance the flying Dharma treasure. Since his Dao fire, the Luminous Starry Sky, had advanced to a sacred flame, the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur was prepared. Furthermore, his cultivation level was at the half-step Primordial Chaos now. Thus, it should not be too difficult to refine a supreme-grade flying divine weapon.

It only took Di Jiu three months. After three months, he easily refined a supreme-grade flying shuttle with the help of the Dao fire and the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur.

His reason for refining the shuttle was that Di Jiu liked the shape of the shuttle and it looked more arrogant.

The shuttle was still under Ling Xiaoshuang’s control, and Di Jiu continued to stay in seclusion. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope of reaching the Primordial Chaos, Di Jiu still hoped that he could advance to the Primordial Chaos before entering Heaven’s Beyond.

There were many experts there, and his current Primordial Dao cultivation level was indeed low. Calling it ‘half-step Primordial Chaos’ would just be putting it nicely. It was actually just Primordial Dao.

…

“Beiwei, why do I sense something wrong here?” Tang Xitan, who landed on the ground, asked in a low voice.

Needless to say, Tang Beiwei also felt that something was wrong. Their Spiritual Force had been suppressed by spatial orientation, and it was so dark around their Spiritual Force that they could not permeate it at all.

In just a short time, the two of them fully understood. The area around them was filled with skeletons. After so many years, there was still an eerie aura and it smelled of blood.

“Sister Xitan, I guess this place is very likely an array foundation. This means that not only did my array disc break open the realm, but it also broke apart the Defense Array foundation of this realm. Now, we are inside the array foundation. However, there are many skeletons inside the array foundation, which is a bit weird.” Tang Beiwei did not dare speak but sent a voice transmission to Tang Xitan.

“What do we do?” Tang Xitan was a little anxious. She was far from the Array Dao. Even though she knew this place was an array foundation, she had no way of going out.

Tang Beiwei once again picked up the Realm-Breaking Array Disc in her hands and said, “No hurry. Let’s rest. After this array disc is restored, we can do it again. Not only can this array disc, which was given to me by my elder brother, break open a realm, but it can also break apart any Defense Arrays lower than the array disc in my possession.”

Tang Xitan knew who Tang Beiwei’s elder brother was and was very convinced by her words.

The two of them did not wait long before the Realm-Breaking Array Disc was more or less restored. When Tang Beiwei grabbed the Realm-Breaking Array Disc to activate it again, she suddenly yelled in shock.

“What’s wrong, Beiwei?” Tang Xitan asked while hurriedly grabbing Tang Beiwei.

Tang Beiwei pointed to a skeleton not far away and said in a trembling voice, “Sister Xitan, that skeleton…”

“There are skeletons everywhere in the area?” Tang Xitan looked at Tang Beiwei, seeming puzzled. As a Primordial Chaos expert, she naturally should not be scared of some skeletons.

“No.” Tang Beiwei hurriedly shook her head before she said, “Sister Xitan, that skeleton is certainly a disciple of the Sacred Dao Sect who was killed and thrown here.”

Furthermore, this was no ordinary disciple. The reason Tang Beiwei had discovered this skeleton was from the Sacred Dao Sect was that there was a faint cultivation technique aura on the skeleton.

This was the branch of the Three-Lifetime Dao Art left behind by her elder brother. In the Sacred Dao Sect, very few people were qualified to cultivate that. This skeleton had cultivated the Three-Lifetime Dao Art, which showed that this must have been an important figure of the Sacred Dao Sect.
