Ninth In the World

“Senior…” Yu Xiangbing stepped back subconsciously, trying to scream while feeling a bit of fear.

“He he… I’m not a senior…” The shadow chuckled and suddenly grabbed Yu Xiangbing without warning.

Panicked, Yu Xiangbing anxiously tried to avoid it but immediately found out that she had been bound by the opponent’s domain.

Then, she felt her body relax before she was swept away by a force and moved sideways hundreds of feet until she stopped.

Yu Xiangbing immediately knew that she had not been caught by the shadow. Di Jiu had come out and moved her sideways.

“Big Brother Di, you’re alright now,” Yu Xiangbing said in pleasant surprise.

“Yes, but who is this person?” Di Jiu had sensed that he was bound by the domain as soon as he had come out. Thus, he had taken Yu Xiangbing and broken through the domain of the other party without thinking about it.

Based on the aura of the other party’s domain aura, Di Jiu sensed that this person’s domain was equivalent to a mid-stage Primordial Chaos expert’s domain.

“Huh…” The shadow froze and stared at Di Jiu, who had just come out, in surprise.

He was not surprised that Di Jiu had been able to easily break through his domain and escape, as he had not given it his all. He was instead surprised by Di Jiu’s aura, which was a kind of Chaos life-force aura. It had been the richest when Di Jiu had just come out, but the aura faded and disappeared now.

He stared at Di Jiu closely and guessed in his heart. When Di Jiu had come out, he’d had the Chaos life-force, which had disappeared in a short time, indicating that before Di Jiu had appeared, he must have been cultivating in a place where there was Chaos life-force.

The Chaos life-force was clearly extremely active and was likely an epoch-making spiritual object.

Di Jiu obviously had not entered his domain from somewhere else. Instead, he had rushed out of his domain. This showed that Di Jiu should have a portable world.

There were many more portable worlds, but only the Chaos World or a higher-level world than that could contain epoch-making spiritual objects without leaking.

Upon thinking of that, the shadow became eager and his surrounding domain aura instantly swept over Di Jiu and Yu Xiangbing.

Di Jiu did not move this time. He just set up some nomological array flags. He could still crush and kill the other party, even though he was the equivalent of a mid-stage Primordial Chaos expert and had a complete physical body. He set up these nomological array flags so that he could lock this space and prevent the other party from escaping.

“Where did you just come from?” After the shadow locked Di Jiu and Yu Xiangbing in place, he did not rush to make a move. Instead, he slowly approached Di Jiu and questioned him at the same time.

Without moving, Di Jiu calmly replied, “I was cultivating in a world and I saw you when I came out. I want to ask you a few questions. I wonder if that’s okay?”

The shadow laughed awkwardly a few times. “Of course you can ask me. I will take you somewhere afterward.”

“Is this the Land of Seven Chakras? If it is, why can’t I find the Chaos Lava?” Di Jiu asked immediately.

“Ha ha ha ha…” The shadow burst into laughter upon hearing Di Jiu’s childish question. He stopped laughing after a while and said, “This is indeed the Land of Seven Chakras, but do you think you can get the Chaos Lava once you reach the Land of Seven Chakras? You’re really naive. If you made use of your world to come to the Land of Seven Chakras for the Chaos Lava, I’m afraid you will regret it forever. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to not make your thing lose its use…”

While saying that, the shadow, which was only dozens of feet away from Di Jiu, suddenly rushed toward Di Jiu. This time, he extended a substantial pale palm and grabbed Di Jiu.

Even a half-step Dao Integration expert could not easily escape from this handprint, which was akin to a half-step Dao Integration aura, as it swept over in combination with the shadow’s domain.

Di Jiu did not try to escape and did not even bother drawing his Heavenly Aqua Saber. He just opened his palm and sent a thunder pattern out.

“The thunder faculty…” Before this shadow even had time to wonder why Di Jiu could easily break through his domain and his crushing handprint, he was stunned by this thunder pattern.

As a cultivator who had not completely perfected the three spiritual souls and seven physical souls and had a physical body that had yet to recover, he was most afraid of the thunder faculty attack. After all, he had a heavy Yin Qi on his body that the thunder restrained with a Heaven Earth Law restraint that he could not resist at all.

Boom! Crack! The thunder pattern struck the shadow directly. The shadow’s illusory physical body became even more illusionary before his domain disintegrated.

Just because of this thunder pattern, the shadow realized that he was inferior to Di Jiu and wanted to flee without hesitation. It was only when he rushed out of the thunder pattern that he was blocked by an invisible restriction before he landed in front of Di Jiu again.

“You don’t have to run away. Now that you’ve been caught by me, do you still want to leave?” Di Jiu chuckled and approached the shadow. He could sense that his three spiritual souls and seven physical souls had yet to be completely perfected. In addition, the shadow’s physical body had only recovered a little and now looked illusory.

The shadow seemed to know that he could no longer escape from Di Jiu and thus simply stopped. “You are not a Thunder Spirit Root. You can cultivate this kind of thunder pattern because you have the Primeval Thunder Rock.”

In addition to the Chaos World, he still had the Primeval Thunder Rock. The shadow sighed. Di Jiu was heaven-defyingly lucky.

As expected, this old guy just relied on one of his thunder patterns so he had guessed that he had obtained the Primeval Thunder Rock. Unfortunately, the Primeval Thunder Rock had been thrown away by him again.

“I don’t need you to be concerned about what I get. I have a few questions to ask you.” Di Jiu had already seen that there was no ring on this shadow. Judging by the condition of the shadow, this shadow led an ordinary life in the Land of Seven Chakras.

The shadow looked at Di Jiu with his vague five senses, his voice becoming even hoarser. “I can answer your questions, but you must spare me this once.”

Di Jiu replied faintly, “You know whether I will spare you or not.”

The shadow knew he had the Chaos World. Thus, even if he did not have any news, he would never spare the other party.

The shadow obviously knew that Di Jiu would not spare him, so he could only say again. “You must allow me to be reincarnated then. After I am reincarnated, I will never come back to the Land of Seven Chakras. I’ve had enough of this place.”

Di Jiu nodded. “Alright, I will allow you to be reincarnated.”

“You can ask me.” The shadow, which was straightforward, regretted coming to the Land of Seven Chakras. After struggling at death’s door in the Land of Seven Chakras for so many years, restoring his physical body still seemed like something that would happen far in the indefinite future.

“First, why do we rarely meet people like you here? Where do they usually gather? Second, where is the Chaos Lava?” Di Jiu asked.

Knowing what Di Jiu wanted to ask, the shadow immediately answered, “Since you have come to the Land of Seven Chakras, you should know a little bit about this place. There are seven areas here, and the Chaos Lava is in the Central Chakra Province…”

It was Di Jiu’s turn to be surprised. “There is really Chaos Lava?”

The shadow seemed a little surprised. There was no Chaos Lava there. What was he doing in this place? However, he still replied, “Yes, there is Chaos Lava here indeed. Unfortunately, Chaos Lava is too rare. I have been here for thousands of years and I only got a drop of it. Without this drop of Chaos Lava… He he… This shadow aside, I’m afraid even my soul would have dissipated on its own.”

“So someone is guarding the Chaos Lava in the Central Chakra Province?” Di Jiu asked.

“Yes, someone is guarding it. There is a Seven-Chakra King here. He is in the Central Chakra Province. If you want to obtain Chaos Lava, you’ll have to be an animal for him to…” The shadow did not continue.

“Where is the Central Chakra?” No matter how powerful the Seven-Chakra King was, Di Jiu planned to go to the Central Chakra Province.

“You just have to stay in the Land of Seven Chakras for 49 days. When you see the sun glow in the sky, it will show the direction of the Central Chakra Province. The sun glow is created by the Chaos Lava eruption. It’ll be ten more days until the next one,” the shadow answered.

This had turned out to be really simple. Di Jiu was very satisfied with the shadow’s answer. “I have one last question. Have you seen this female cultivator come in?”

Di Jiu raised his hand to outline Ling Xiaoshuang’s image.
