Ninth In the World
Chapter 785 - Martial Arts Breakthrough
Panda Novel
Now that the hardest part was out of the way, Di Jiu took one step forward without hesitation and landed outside the City Lord Manor, punching out at the same time.
Crack! One punch of his pulverized the City Lord Manor’s restrictions. Several cultivators standing far away saw what Di Jiu had done and hastily fled.
The City Lord Manor belonged to the Nie Family. Only death would await those involved with anyone who stirred up trouble there.
Nie Qianzhang, who was cultivating, suddenly stood up and ran out while hollering, “Who was it? Who dared to invade the Nie Family’s cave abode?”
Di Jiu sized Nie Qianzhang up before speaking. “Did your father not tell you that I am Di Jiu?”
“It was you?” Nie Qianzhang finally came to the realization that before him stood Di Jiu, the person who had killed Nie Baichi.
Nie Qianzhang was alarmed when he remembered that Di Jiu had managed to kill Nie Baichi, who had been at the half-step Dao Integration Realm. He immediately wanted to take out an escape talisman, but he discovered that Di Jiu’s domain had completely sealed the space he was in. This seal was something his talisman was unable to rip apart.
His guess was right. His strength was utterly incomparable to Di Jiu’s.
“Daoist Di, the grievances you have with Nie Baichi have nothing to do with me. We might have been brothers, but that was only in name. If you kill me, my father will not let you off. He will seek you out no matter where you are.” Nie Baichi felt hopeless, unable to understand how Di Jiu had managed to arrive at the Heavenly Union Planet without anyone realizing it.
Some of his people from the Beyond of Heaven and Earth were outside the Heavenly Union Planet and would definitely inform him in advance if Di Jiu arrived.
As for what he had said previously, it was mainly meant to assure himself. Di Jiu had already killed Nie Baichi, so there was no reason why the former would fear Nie Qianchi’s father, Nie Changping.
Di Jiu said coolly, “I killed Nie Baichi because you took away my friend, Cai Ji. Tell me, where is she?”
“She is fine, she is fine…” Nie Qianzhang felt immense regret when he heard that all this had happened because of Cai Ji. He had captured Cai Ji because she knew a top-notch body-tempering cultivation technique.
However, he was unable to obtain this cultivation technique no matter how much he tortured her. He felt sullen that he had failed to achieve his objective and Cai Ji’s friend had come here to cause him trouble. Hadn’t his father said that he had severely injured Di Jiu and the latter had used an escape talisman to flee? Why had Di Jiu come to the Heavenly Union Planet?
“Where is she?” Di Jiu’s expression turned dour, his killing aura oppressing Nie Qianzhang.
Nie Qianzhang almost spat out a mouthful of blood as a result. He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but such a thing was impossible because Di Jiu was in control of this entire space.
“She is by the Dislocated Berserk River…” Upon saying that, Nie Qianzhang could not stand the pressure of Di Jiu’s aura anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“The Dislocated Berserk River?” Di Jiu frowned, as he had never heard of this place before.
Nie Qianzhang rushed to explain. “The Dislocated Berserk River is an extremely frightening place for body-tempering purposes. I wanted to obtain Cai Ji’s body-tempering cultivation technique so I placed her there.”
He dared not mention that only death would await any ordinary cultivator who entered the Dislocated Berserk River.
“How could you obtain the cultivation technique?” Di Jiu’s tone became even frostier.
Nie Qianzhang hurriedly took out a crystal ball, handed it to Di Jiu, and said, “Here…”
Di Jiu had a fit of rage when his Spiritual Force landed on the crystal ball.
Nie Qianzhang was a bastard. He had placed Cai Ji above a berserk river located near a spatial dislocation, all for the sake of obtaining Cai Ji’s real cultivation technique. It was evident how scary this river water was based on the way it clashed against Cai Ji’s body. In addition, Cai Ji was covered in bloody wounds. This showed that this Dislocated Berserk River had been created by the fluctuations of spatial dislocation.
The fact that Cai Ji had been able to withstand it until now illustrated how incredible her body-tempering cultivation technique was.
Di Jiu could clearly sense the path the Qi Circulation flowed in, as well as the movement of the meridians involved.
No wonder Nie Qianzhang had said that he wanted to obtain Cai Ji’s body-tempering cultivation technique. This method was a sure-fire way to achieve that. It was only a matter of time.
“Where is this Dislocated Berserk River?” Di Jiu asked with a calm tone.
Cai Ji’s skin was ashen. She would die a horrible death due to the injuries caused by the spatial dislocation, regardless of how powerful her body-tempering cultivation technique was. Moreover, the river water itself possessed a corrosion effect.
Di Jiu already considered Nie Qianzhang a dead man.
“That is a spatial rift. One will land in the Dislocated Berserk River upon entering this rift.” Nie Qianzhang took out a locational jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu with trembling hands.
Di Jiu snatched this jade slip and used his Spiritual Force to scan it. Then, he grunted and said, “One will still be able to escape even after entering the spatial rift and landing in the Dislocated Berserk River. Bastard, you actually bound Cai Ji with a restriction, forcing her to continuously temper her body in the river. Tell me, where is the release for her restrictions?”
“This crystal ball…” replied Nie Qianzhang anxiously. He could only hope that his men could inform his father while he and Di Jiu were having this conversation. Then, his father would deal with Di Jiu.
Di Jiu was about to become a level-eight Divine Array Emperor, so his understanding of the Array Dao was far superior to Nie Qianzhang’s. He thus immediately knew that Nie Qianzhang was telling the truth the moment the former made that claim. Di Jiu crushed the crystal ball into dust in his palm.
…
At the Dislocated Berserk River several hundred million miles away, Cai Ji was tirelessly circulating her body-tempering cultivation technique. She was aware of the motive of her captor, but she would die a terrible death if she stopped circulating her body-tempering cultivation technique. She would also have no chance of being reincarnated.
She had tried to escape the Dislocated Berserk River numerous times, but the restriction binding her body prevented her from doing that. There was nothing else she could do other than circulate her body-tempering cultivation technique.
Cai Ji felt numb and unsure of how long she could persevere. Suddenly, her body became lighter as all the restrictions binding her seemed to disappear without a trace.
She did not want to lose this opportunity, regardless of what had caused it to happen. Frantically, she rushed out of the Dislocated Berserk River and lunged at the river bank.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Cai Ji had just dashed out of the Dislocated Berserk River when she felt her bones and meridians emitting cracking sounds. She was shocked to realize that her tattered meridians, bones, and nerves were all evolving at neck-breaking speed…
Her ashen skin, which was a result of the poison corrosion, swiftly regained its original color. Cai Ji opened her eyes in excitement when she sensed a whole new martial arts horizon.
At that moment, her Tempered Body became a Sacred Body and her cultivation broke through to the Dao Integration Martial Saint Realm.
…
Di Jiu sighed. This was the most he could help her with. Whether Cai Ji would be able to break the restriction apart and escape the Dislocated Berserk River was not within his control.
“Daoist Di, there is actually no enmity between you and the Nie Family…”
Di Jiu interrupted Nie Qianzhang’s speech. “I suppose you are waiting for your father to save you. That is unfortunate, as I have killed him. You can now follow in his steps… Eh, that does not sound right, for both of you will take no more steps…”
Upon saying that, Di Jiu lifted a hand and threw a fireball at Nie Qianzhang. Nie Qianzhang let out a blood-curdling scream, as he finally understood why no one had informed him that Di Jiu had arrived at the Heavenly Union Planet. It was because Di Jiu had killed his father, Nie Changping, and no one was willing to be involved with the Nie Family anymore. His people outside the Heavenly Union Planet had fled long ago.
After killing Nie Qianzhang, Di Jiu immediately left the City Lord Manor. He knew that this place belonged to Yi Shu, so he would deal with the consequences when Yi Shu came back. Right now, he was in a rush to make a trip down to the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda. Regardless of whether he would be able to obtain the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, he would head over to the Xian Ocean afterward.
