Ninth In the World

Boom! An intense explosion sent the ocean water of the Xian Ocean splashing out into a huge mushroom cloud of water. Everyone fixed their attention on that, including Di Jiu.

At that moment, a ripple-shaped array door suddenly appeared there. Dao runes circulated on the array door, which was apparently a void array door of a high level.

Then, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned the array disc implanted by Xian Wuxun. He had never seen an array disc of that level before. Without the array disc implanted by Xian Wuxun, anyone could enter the mystic area. However, the array disc implanted by Xian Wuxun could only allow the cultivators with the Xian Family’s jade talisman to enter.

Di Jiu did not feel anything. The Xian Family had discovered this place and invited everyone over there to blast that natural restriction. Then, they had implanted an array disc there as well. Everything had been done openly, and the price they wanted was within a reasonable range, so they had not gone overboard.

The only thing that the Xian Family had gone overboard with in Di Jiu’s opinion was that they had actually left a Spiritual Force imprint on him. For Xian Cang’s sake, Di Jiu did not do anything about that. However, if the Xian Family thought that they could take care of him, they could not blame him for being ruthless.

When the array door was opened, nobody went in. Xian Wuxun said in a clear voice with cupped fists, “Fellow Daoists, this natural hidden restriction array has been opened thanks to our joint forces. Now, everyone can enter with their jade talisman.”

Many cultivators who had been talking with Di Jiu rushed over one by one.

“Let’s go over too,” Di Jiu told Qu Fang when he saw that Xing Xi had gone in. However, he was sure that Xing Xi would not go far after going in and would instead be waiting for him.

If it had not been for the Supreme Glazed True Silver, that woman would probably have made a move on him long ago.

“Big Brother, that woman has gone in. Why don’t we flee now?” As soon as Qu Fang saw Xing Xi go in, he immediately wanted to flee.

Di Jiu patted Qu Fang. “Listen to me and don’t leave now. I’m sure that as long as you leave the reef island, Xing Xi will rush out in a moment to obstruct your path.”

Qu Fang sighed. “Big Brother, I’ll listen to you.”

“Daoist Di, the Eldest Elder said that he suddenly heard that you are a top-notch Weapon Saint and got excited. Thus, his actions and words were rude. If he offended you, please forgive him.” Di Jiu had not expected that when he and Qu Fang walked to the entrance of the array door, Xian Wuxun would immediately take the initiative to cup his fists and speak with a modest tone.

Di Jiu, who was stunned, immediately understood.

It looked like Xian Bainan must have guessed that he was not afraid of the Xian Family and he had apologized for putting the imprint on him.

In fact, the Xian Family as a whole and its way of doing things was not that arrogant. Di Jiu had no intention of seeking revenge against the Xian Family. Since Xian Bainan had taken the initiative to apologize, he would not continue to deal with the Xian Family. Di Jiu only nodded silently. Then, he brought Qu Fang along, crushed the jade talisman, and stepped into the rippled array door.

Xian Wuxun frowned slightly as he watched Di Jiu disappear. Both the Eldest Elder and the Grand Elder believed that Di Jiu could not be provoked and wanted him to apologize to Di Jiu on their behalf. Although he could not see why Di Jiu could not be provoked, he did not dare go against the two Elders’ words.

…

As soon as Di Jiu and Qu Fang entered the array door, waves of chilliness that still carried a faint aura of the ocean water assailed them. Evidently, after entering the array, Di Jiu and Qu Fang had entered the Xian Ocean and had not been teleported away.

“I thought you weren’t coming in anymore.” As Di Jiu and Qu Fang just stood there firmly, an ice-cold voice rang beside their ears.

Di Jiu had already scanned the place with his Spiritual Force, only to find out that a top-notch Confinement Killing Divine Array had been set up in the surrounding space long ago. Upon sensing the magnitude of that Divine Array, Di Jiu was silently shocked.

Even though he had not taken Xing Xi’s cultivation level seriously, her Confinement Killing Divine Array made him afraid.

He wasn’t afraid of the level-six Confinement Killing Divine Array that Xing Xi had set up in a short time, as he could do the same. From his point of view, Xing Xi’s Array Dao was even stronger than his.

Where had that woman come from? She was a top-notch Array Dao expert and a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint.

Di Jiu was scared of her, as he was worried that after the woman fled, he would be at a disadvantage. For the time being, he did not take her seriously. Instead of going to break the array, he set up a pile of nomological array flags and said, “Is this place yours? Can’t we come in?”

Xing Xi did not budge at all. Meanwhile, twelve pieces of lotus blade suddenly appeared and encircled her.

The twelve pieces of lotus blade contained countless killing intent Dao runes and seemed to tear apart the entire void a moment later. Di Jiu had indeed not misjudged her. She was absolutely the most formidable Primordial Chaos cultivator he had encountered.

No, that wasn’t right. Even if he met a Dao Integration cultivator, they would not be as formidable as that woman. Even Xian Bainan might not necessarily be able to deal with her.

Xing Xi did not make a move immediately. He just kept extending her domain aura and controlling it so it would cooperate with her Confinement Killing Divine Array to lock the surrounding space. Then, the twelve pieces of lotus blade rotated and her voice continued to ease up. “I am very curious. You’re only at the Primordial Chaos Realm. Why are you so confident? You’re just a nobody at the Primordial Chaos Realm who happens to be a Weapon Saint. That is impressive indeed. I want to know your secrets.”

Xing Xi was truly shocked. Ever since Di Jiu had given a half-supreme-grade flying divine weapon, she had set her mind on finding out Di Jiu’s capabilities.

She knew better than anyone that without the Creation treasure, one could not sense the Creation Dao runes or cultivate the Creation cultivation technique. The difficulty involved in becoming a Weapon Saint at the Primordial Chaos Realm was not what ordinary cultivators imagined.

Di Jiu took out his Heavenly Aqua Saber and slashed. “Save your nonsense. Why are you talking so much?”

The space bound by Xing Xi suddenly shattered and Xing Xi’s expression changed. Even though Di Jiu’s cultivation level was a little stronger than hers, she regarded him as a nobody she could easily crush at any time.

However, that saber move of his had made every inch of her domain unexpectedly shatter. Apart from that, her level-six Confinement Killing Divine Array had not been activated immediately, as though it had been obstructed by a Divine Array.

Even though a Dao Integration cultivator was a mere nobody to her, this Primordial Chaos cultivator gave off a deadly aura.

At that moment, Xing Xi had to take Di Jiu seriously. Her twelve-piece lotus flower blade flares transformed into twelve killing intent lotus flowers that struck the flares of the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Boom! Crack…

Xing Xi’s aura, which was formed by the twelve pieces of killing intent lotus flowers, shattered inch by inch and exploded, dropping fragmented Dao runes.

Xing Xi’s expression changed drastically as the violent counterattack force swept over. Before her twelve killing intent lotus flowers could show their true killing aura, they had been torn apart by Di Jiu’s saber move. This was impossible, yet it had happened.

She also sensed that the divine power law of the lotus flowers’ killing intent had shattered, which was not something an ordinary cultivator could do. However, Di Jiu had torn her divine power law with a casual saber move, thus rendering her unable to continue. That was her Confinement Killing Divine Array.

Di Jiu’s cultivation level was not much worse. It was actually far stronger than hers. Ever since she had cultivated the Dao, she had met two young cultivators who had made her feel scared. Di Jiu was the third one. He was equally young and equally scary.

Xing Xi was shocked, and so was Di Jiu. His saber move had not completely torn Xing Xi’s divine power law, but Di Jiu did not plan to let Xing Xi leave. Thus, he did not hesitate to send a fist move out after that saber move.
