Ninth In the World

A few Dao Transformation cultivators were wise and did not stop Di Jiu. After Di Jiu walked to the entrance of the array door, they sent out a message with a flying sword.

Di Jiu walked to the array door entrance of Heaven’s Beyond but did not go in. He stood at the entrance of the array door and looked at it quietly.

Since Di Jiu was not moving, Ling Xiaoshuang naturally did not move either. She was sure that he would not stand there without a reason. There had to be something there.

Ling Xiaoshuang was right. Di Jiu naturally was not wasting time, neither was he afraid of entering Heaven’s Beyond. He was setting up nomological array flags.

According to Di Jiu’s original plan, he had not wanted to come here before he reached the Primordial Chaos Realm. Unfortunately, reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm did not seem simple.

Fortunately, he had Ling Xiaoshuang’s help. If the two of them were working together, they could walk around Heaven’s Beyond.

After half an hour, Di Jiu’s expression turned somewhat ugly.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Xiaoshuang immediately asked upon seeing Di Jiu’s ugly expression.

Di Jiu solemnly replied, “I discovered a top-notch major array here. I can’t even understand the array, not to mention break it. If this major array is closed, I can’t leave unless I reach Dao Integration.”

“Ah…” Ling Xiaoshuang exclaimed. If this kind of major array really existed, she would suggest that Di Jiu not enter Heaven’s Beyond.

Instead, Di Jiu took a deep breath. “Fortunately, this major array has yet to be activated. Although I don’t really understand it, I’m sure that it has been closed for many years.”

“I see,” Ling Xiaoshuang said suddenly, “This major array has most likely been set up by both Dao Lord Ye and Dao Lord Ning. I have heard of this. After the two Dao Lords left, the people who came later must have occupied Heaven’s Beyond. However, they were not qualified to control this major array, so they set up another major array.”

“How sure are you?” Di Jiu’s eyes lit up. If the hidden major array that he sensed could not be activated, the Defense Array and Confinement Array there would pose no difficulty to him.

Ling Xiaoshuang once again closed her eyes and opened them after a few seconds. Then, she nodded at Di Jiu. “I’m pretty sure.”

“Alright.” Di Jiu nodded his head, as he believed Ling Xiaoshuang’s judgment. He had heard that Dao Lord Ye’s mother planet was the Sacred Dao World. If the Great Beginning Realm’s Nuo La wanted to sweep away the Sacred Dao World, Nuo La would definitely appear at Heaven’s Beyond. If Dao Lord Ye was from the Sacred Dao World, he would not think like Nuo La. In that case, this Defense Array should not be controlled by Nuo La.

Unrestrained, Di Jiu engraved endless nomological array flags and even took out the four Five-Element Array Flags and embedded them into the void.

Since his cultivation level was low and there were too many experts in Heaven’s Beyond, he had to make some preparations beforehand.

…

Heaven’s Beyond used to have three famous places: the God Manor, the Sacred Dao Street of Sacred Dao Sect Master Dao Lord Ye, and the Great Simplicity City of the Great Simplicity Realm’s Dao Lord Ning.

After the war that year, there had been fewer and fewer experts from the Sacred Dao Street and the Great Simplicity City. Many years later, the Great Beginning Realm’s exceptional experts Nuo La and Yan Jinghuan had come to Heaven’s Beyond. In the beginning, they had acted apprehensively.

As time had passed, however, these two had done more and more unduly things and had eventually taken away the God Manor. They had even embezzled the Great Simplicity City and the Sacred Dao Street gradually.

Since their prestige was simply too resounding, experts from other realms had not taken action when the Great Beginning Realm’s Nuo La had begun to seize Heaven’s Beyond.

Nuo La and Yan Jinghuan had seized more and more places and had eventually even dared to kill the cultivators from Sacred Dao Street and Great Simplicity City so that experts from other realms could see. The experts who participated in the war that year were probably not able to return. Even though some of them were alive, they did not care about Heaven’s Beyond.

Therefore, these experts seized territories one after another and Heaven’s Beyond formed the Great Beginning Realm, which became its main realm. The experts from the other realms became a subsidiary of an interest group.

After the Great Beginning Realm’s experts came to Heaven’s Beyond and gained a foothold, the first thing they did was set up a Teleportation Array. However, this Teleportation Array was huge and not easy to establish. Thus, in order to set up the Teleportation Array, the experts of the Great Beginning Realm established a strict entry and exit system in Heaven’s Beyond that reduced the number of cultivators entering. Some cultivators in Heaven’s Beyond were also the first batch staying there.

Even the cultivators originally living in Heaven’s Beyond could not stay there easily. First of all, they had to have a certain territory that would be mandatorily offered to the new God Manor. Based on the size and location of the territory, the new God Manor would then arrange a small corner for them to stay.

At the moment, in the God Manor of Heaven’s Beyond, a brown-faced old man was frowning while holding a flying sword. He had not expected that someone would dare to break into the array door. Did they have a death wish?

Although there were many experts in Heaven’s Beyond, he was now alone. Nuo La, Liu Bi, Lou Huan’er, and Nie Changping were not there. Despite being at Dao Integration, he was only at early-stage Dao Integration and was going through Colossal Degeneration. The true experts of Heaven’s Beyond were Nuo La, Nie Changping, Lou Huai’er, and Liu Bi, who used to be auctioned in many realms.

This old man was Yan Jinghuan, the current Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond. He used to rank second among the Great Beginning Realm’s Top 10 hall pillars. The Great Beginning Realm used to have the most Primordial Chaos experts in the past. After the war that year, it was now the realm that had retained the most strength.

Yan Jinghuan contemplated this for a half an hour before he stood up. No matter what, he had to deal with this matter as the current Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond.

He had decided that after he met the person who had broken in, he would decide whether to send a message to Nuo La and the others.

…

“Let’s go. We can go in.” Di Jiu had set up all kinds of array flags.

Although his array flags still could not counter the Defense Array of Heaven’s Beyond, they could dream about using the Confinement Array to confine him since he had these array flags.

After stepping into the entrance of the Defense Array, Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang arrived at a square.

Three huge azure old words floated on the square: Heaven’s Beyond Square!

“Fellow Daoists who have come from afar, excuse me for not going out to welcome you guys. Please forgive me.” As soon as Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang walked out of Heaven’s Beyond Square, a brown-faced old man greeted them.

Without needing his Spiritual Force to observe him, Di Jiu knew that this old man was going through Degeneration, and most likely Dao Integration Colossal Degeneration. Plus, even if this old man was not going through Degeneration, his cultivation level was only at early-stage Dao Integration. Thus, Di Jiu did not take him seriously.

Behind this old man were three cultivators, two men and one woman. The male cultivator in white was already at half-step Dao Integration, while the other male cultivator and the female cultivator were at late-stage Primordial Chaos.

Di Jiu sighed silently. Indeed, there were many experts in Heaven’s Beyond who were at late-stage Primordial Chaos, Dao Integration, or half-step Dao Integration.

Di Jiu did not know that these guys all had power in Heaven’s Beyond. After the Creation War that year, the experts of Heaven’s Beyond were not as good as before.

Di Jiu did not take Yan Jinghuan seriously. He only nodded without saying anything.

Yan Jinghuan’s heart sank. He could not sense Di Jiu’s cultivation level, so it seemed that it was higher than his. Ling Xiaoshuang’s cultivation level was surely at Dao Integration. At least, similar to him, she was at early-stage Dao Integration. He also suspected that Ling Xiaoshuang had very likely gone through Dao Integration Degeneration.

This was someone he could not deal with. Immediately, he sent a message to Nuo La, Nie Changping, and the others. No matter how strong the two people before him were, they would curl up when the experts of Heaven’s Beyond returned.
