Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

Di Jiu kept throwing out array flags. If he wanted to break this hidden Dharma Array, he had to let this Dharma Array reveal itself.

He had set up several locational arrays and even an explosive array, thus blowing this place apart. However, the hidden array did not have any intention of revealing itself.

“Senior Brother Di, since this hidden array is of a very high level, I’m afraid we…” Yu Qianxi could not help him at all. When she saw Di Jiu stay busy for half a day without any result, she was somewhat discouraged.

Even though Di Jiu knew how to set up the locational arrays and the explosive arrays, she could not help at all.

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Just wait aside quietly. I will deduce for a while again.”

His Array Dao was already at the peak level-three Divine Array Master. As long as he improved further, he could set up level-four Divine Arrays.

In the Dao World, cultivators who could set up level-four to level-six Divine Arrays were all Divine Array Kings. Once he advanced to a level-four Divine Array King, in terms of his status, he would no longer be weaker than a second-step Primordial Dao expert. Furthermore, in the Dao World, there were much fewer Divine Array Kings than Primordial Dao cultivators.

Di Jiu started to deduce the array formation, while Yu Qianxi could only wait aside. Even though her cultivation level was about the same as Di Jiu’s, her Array Dao was far poorer than his.

She stood there without moving amid the Defense Arrays that Di Jiu had set up to protect them. Although shattered nomological fragments occasionally swept over, Yu Qianxi could resist them. She could not cultivate or do anything, so she could only watch Di Jiu gain insight into the Array Dao.

Time gradually passed and Di Jiu completely entered the deduction of this hidden array. In the beginning, his figure was very clear in Yu Qianxi’s eyes. However, when Di Jiu kept entering the deduction of the array, his figure gradually became hazy in her eyes before finally forming Dao runes.

Yu Qianxi was truly shocked. As a core disciple of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, she had naturally listened to the Dao discussion of the Primordial Chaos experts. After they discussed to a certain degree, they would be enveloped by the Dao runes and bound by Dao rune aura with every word they said. Those with a powerful Dao trace would be encircled by the Dao runes in the space of the Dao discussion.

What cultivation level was Di Jiu at? He was at most at the Dao Birth and was still far from the second step. However, at that moment, she could not sense Di Jiu, only the Dao runes circulating on him.

Yu Qianxi was gradually absorbed by Di Jiu’s Dao runes. She could once again feel the kind of Supreme Dao he had, which was different from ordinary cultivators’. This was like encouragement for her to progress, knocking deep down in her soul. She completely forgot that she had an inheritance and started to gain insight into Di Jiu’s Dao runes.

Even though some scattered nomological blade flares swept over, Yu Qianxi would subconsciously avoid them and would not even spend much energy.

Three years passed in a flash. When Di Jiu suddenly opened his eyes, the Dao traces on him had vanished.

After deducing there for three years, his Array Dao had reached level four. In other words, he was now an absolute level-four Divine Array King. If he were to set up Confinement Killing Array chains to sneak an attack on that itinerant monk now, he was confident that he would get rid of him.

“Senior Brother Di…” Once Di Jiu awakened, Yu Qianxi’s insight was interrupted by him all of a sudden.

“Let me try again and see whether it works.” Di Jiu nodded at Yu Qianxi. While he had gained insight into the hidden array traces there, Yu Qianxi had been gaining insight into his Array Dao, which he did not mind. Unless he taught the Nomological Dao by himself, other people would only gain a superficial insight into it.

However, Yu Qianxi did not think that way. In other words, any other cultivators would not think so either.

She bowed and greeted Di Jiu. “Senior Brother Di, I have entered reclusive seclusion with you for three years and have gained a lot. Thank you, Senior Brother Di.”

At first, she had barely been able to set up a Divine Array. Now, Yu Qianxi was sure that she could easily set up a level-one Divine Array. If she was given more time, she could advance to a level-two Divine Array Master.

Other people needed to spend tens of thousands of years before they could advance. However, she could do so after only entering reclusive seclusion with Di Jiu.

Based on this, how heaven-defying was Di Jiu’s Dao?

Di Jiu grabbed thousands of array flags and threw them down. After two hours, he was once again disappointed. Even though he had advanced to a level-four Divine Array King, he still could not open this hidden Defense Array.

“Senior Brother Di, why don’t we come back here in a few years?” Yu Qianxi knew very well that Di Jiu’s Array Dao had improved. However, since he still could not open this hidden Defense Array, it was evident that it was very powerful.

Di Jiu frowned, as he did not have much time.

Even though he was waiting for the Dao fruit to advance to an Alchemy Saint, his cultivation also required a huge amount of Dao fruit. Even though he advanced very quickly and cultivated the epoch-making Nomological Dao, he still could not step into the Dao Transformation in a short time at the moment. If he wanted to do so, he could only make use of the Dao fruit or the Dao pills.

Although he was not in a hurry to improve his strength, Jiang Dai had already listed him as wanted. Since he had foiled Jiang Dai’s plans, if he was caught by him, he would probably have his soul annihilated.

Di Jiu looked at the Dao fruit garden that was almost within reach before hesitating for a while. Then, he told Yu Qianxi, “Junior Sister Yu, I want to set up a hidden array and once again gain insight for some time. If it still doesn’t work, I will forget about it.”

“Alright.” Yu Qianxi did not think much. She had been a team with Di Jiu for many years. Although she had not come into contact with many people, the impression that Di Jiu had left on her was different from the one most cultivators did.

Di Jiu was now a level-four Divine Array King. He only lifted his hands to set up a level-four hidden array. Once it was set up, Di Jiu entered his Ninth World.

If a level-four Divine Array King could not open this hidden array, nobody else would have any way of doing it either. Perhaps, Yu Qianxi was right. They should leave this place and improve their strength before returning.

Di Jiu still had another way, which involved using the Five-Element Flags. At the Dao Ridge, Di Jiu would have certainly taken out the Five-Element Flags without hesitation. However, he had not dared to take them out in the open here. What had happened at the Dao Ridge showed that if he took out the Five-Element Flags, he would very likely be discovered by Jiang Dai.

Since Jiang Dai could sense at the Dao Ridge, who could be sure that he could not sense at the Vast Ruins?

Jiang Dai could certainly sense the Five-Element Flags because he had not completely refined them yet and there were still imprints of Jiang Dai inside. In the past, Di Jiu would not have thought of refining the flags. Now that his Dao fire, the Luminous Starry Sky, had advanced to a low-grade peak divine flame, maybe he could find out what was wrong with the Five-Element Flags.

He took out his Dao fire and threw the Floating Flame Flag into it. He then performed the Nomological Qi Circulation and refined the Floating Flame Flag with all his strength.

Even though he was in his own Ninth World, Di Jiu spent several days to refine all the restrictions on the Floating Flame Flag.

Just as Di Jiu had expected, he could clearly capture some imprints in the Floating Flame Flag. What he admired was that this imprint had actually become one with the restriction on the Floating Flame Flag. If he had been unaware, he definitely would not have cared about this problem.

When he had refined the Floating Flame Flag in the Immortal World, he had considered this special imprint to be the restriction on the Floating Flame Flag. Thus, he had neglected this part. It was obvious how formidable Jiang Dai’s Array Dao was.

This made Di Jiu believe even more that it was right to allow his Dao fire to advance to a divine flame first. If it did not become a divine flame, he might not necessarily be able to strip away this imprint even if he found it.

This time, Di Jiu only spent a short time before stripping away the restrictions on the Floating Flame Flag.

Then, he once again discovered the same imprint aura on the other three flags. When he stripped away the imprint on four of these flags, he inspected them several times. After sensing that there were no problems, he left the Ninth World.

If Jiang Dai still found him, then Di Jiu could only resign himself to his fate.

“Senior Brother Di, how is it going?” Yu Qianxi immediately asked when she saw Di Jiu come out.

“Let me try.” Di Jiu first took out a handful of array flags and threw them down. He then took out the Five-Element Flags and set them up according to the location.
