Ninth In the World

“Why did the two of you chase after me, Jiang Dai? I just arrived here and I did not offend the two of you.” Di Jiu had already seen clearly the cultivation level of these two women. The middle-aged woman was at the late-stage Primordial Dao. Not only was the young lady extremely beautiful, but her Dao runes were deep. With one glance, he knew that she did not have a simple cultivation technique. Even though she was at the late-stage Dao Birth, he supposed she was not an ordinary Dao Birth cultivator.

Jingu sized up Di Jiu in amazement. She realized that she could not see through his cultivation level. Didn’t this mean that Di Jiu was not weaker than her but even stronger?

Regardless of whether Di Jiu used a hidden cultivation technique, Jingu dismissed her original plans of snatching his things. She instead transmitted a voice transmission to the young lady and said, “Xiaoxiao, this person’s cultivation level should not be weaker than mine but even stronger.”

The young lady had also guessed that Di Jiu’s cultivation level should not be weak. Before she could say anything, Di Jiu’s cold voice said, “If the two of you can’t give me a reason today, don’t blame me for making a move.”

Di Jiu did not know what Dharma treasure Jiang Dai used. While he was talking, his surrounding aura rushed forth and his domain instantly enveloped the two women.

Jingu’s face changed. She had guessed correctly. Jiang Dai was definitely stronger than her. Once they started fighting, it would be hard for Xiaoxiao to leave even if Jingu could. The only solution was to use that top-notch talisman of inestimable value. If it was used, it would simply be too wasteful.

“Friend, wait a moment. We chased after you because we got lost in the void. Otherwise, we would not have chased your flying boat for such a long time,” Jingu hurriedly said with cupped fists. At the same time, her Primordial Dao domain protected her and Xiaoxiao.

Upon seeing Di Jiu frown and not seem to have any intention of making a move, Jingu promptly added, “I’m Min Jingu. Daoist, you may not be familiar with me but if you go to the Void City, you will definitely hear about me. This is Tantai Xiaoxiao. Her mother is a top-notch Dao Integration expert who used to be a Saintess of the Devil Clan. If she discovers that Xiaoxiao is in trouble, she will definitely investigate thoroughly. Moreover, Senior Tantai can definitely know who made a move on Xiaoxiao. I swear on my Dao.

If you go to the Void City, you can’t avoid the Devil Clan. The Devil Clan has a very strong presence in the Void City. Once they know that you made a move on Xiaoxiao, I’m afraid they won’t let you off.”

Her mother was a Dao Integration expert? Di Jiu frowned. He knew that those who roamed about this void were not simple. It looked like he had guessed correctly.

However, he was reluctant to just let these two women go like this. He snorted and the killing intent in his voice grew increasingly denser. “So what if she’s a Dao Integration expert? I, Jiang Dai, will wait for her in the Void City.”

“Must you make a move, Daoist?” Min Jingu vaguely took out a faint golden talisman. Her surrounding domain enveloped Tantai Xiaoxiao, and she sounded cold.

Di Jiu’s powerful Spiritual Force had sensed that talisman. After he saw Xu Baishang’s Plane Split Talisman and then this talisman, he could only say that this talisman was definitely much more precious than Xu Baishang’s. He had guessed correctly. He could not keep these two women.

Unless he could kill them in a short time, they would definitely escape by activating the talisman.

Di Jiu did not care, as he did not intend to silence them. Otherwise, he would have set up an inescapable array here and would not have shown up with Jiang Dai’s face. However, Di Jiu suspected that, despite his Array Dao technique, he could not stop this escape talisman even if he set up major arrays here.

“I can forgive you, but I have two conditions. First, the two of you have to compensate me for disturbing my cultivation. Second, the two of you have to give me the locale map to the Void City, as I’m lost,” Di Jiu faintly said.

“No problem. There are some items here as well as the locale map to the Void City.” Min Jingu threw a ring to Di Jiu without hesitation.

She seemed to have completely forgotten what she’d told Di Jiu about being lost in the void. It was evident that she knew very well that Di Jiu was aware it was a fake excuse.

Di Jiu took the ring and scanned it with his Spiritual Force. As expected, he discovered some elixir pills and materials inside. They were very limited, and none of the items was precious. However, he could see a galaxy locational jade slip very clearly. He scanned it with his Spiritual Force, only to discover a spatial location in it.

Without any hesitation, Di Jiu threw this ring into his Ninth World. At the same time, he took out a long spear.

Min Jingu’s expression changed. “Since you have accepted the deal, Daoist, can you withdraw your domain?”

Di Jiu laughed nastily. “Do you still want to leave after chasing me for so long? I’ve roamed around the void for a long time and hardly seen a beautiful woman like you. Tell me, should I capture you for my pleasure? I like women like you the most. What a beautiful woman…”

Di Jiu’s long spear gathered the vast spear aura, which was indomitable, as though it was going to tear apart this void completely. She would be killed into scraps by the spear aura in a moment if she did not escape.

Since Min Jingu’s domain instantly shattered amid this spear aura, she did not dare take the risk to battle with Di Jiu. Thus, she could only frantically activate the escape talisman, sweeping Tantai Xiaoxiao and her before vanishing without a trace.

Di Jiu did not intend to make a move. His goal was to make the two women use that talisman. Since they had chased him for such a long time, how could he let this matter go without making them pay the price?

After he saw this talisman being activated, his Spiritual Force could not even feel it. He gasped in surprise. The fellow who had refined the talisman was too heaven-defying. He had never seen such a talisman technique in his life.

Di Jiu restored his original appearance and called out Ding Chi and Lightning.

“Brother Di, where are the people who were chasing us?” Once Ding Chi came out, he saw nobody around them.

“They escaped with the escape talisman. Let’s switch to another flying boat before we go to the Void City.” Di Jiu took out a high-grade flying shuttle.

“A high-grade divine weapon?” Ding Chi shouted in surprise, even forgetting to say that he did not know the location of the Void City.

Di Jiu took out a ring and handed it to Ding Chi. “There is a high-grade flying boat inside. I’ll give it to you.”

“Brother Di, this is too precious.” Ding Chi knew very well the value of a high-grade flying boat. Therefore, he hurriedly rejected it.

Di Jiu smiled. “I refined this, so take it and refine it quickly. You might be able to use it someday.”

How could he use a high-grade flying boat someday? It was useful to every cultivator. Not only was it effective in hastening one’s journey, but it was also good for escaping.

“Brother Di is still a Divine Weapon Grandmaster?” Ding Chi exclaimed in shock. He knew that Di Jiu’s Alchemy Dao was very impressive and he was a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint. However, Di Jiu was still a Divine Weapon Grandmaster. He was simply too powerful.

“That’s right. I spent most of my time blacksmithing.” Di Jiu did not conceal that, as he was now a Divine Weapon Grandmaster.

Ding Chi no longer said no. His Purple Heaven Pill had originally been given to him by Di Jiu, and he was now accepting another high-grade flying boat from him.

While Ding Chi was refining the flying boat, Di Jiu controlled the flying shuttle into another direction.

Suddenly, a white line clearly appeared on the jade slip in his hands. Di Jiu had seen this kind of spatial locational jade slip before. This had happened because they were too far from their destination.

The high-grade flying shuttle was much faster than the middle-grade flying boat. Plus, Di Jiu controlled it in the void so that those cultivators, who had a weaker Spiritual Force, might not necessarily be able to scan it with their Spiritual Force.

Half a year later, Ding Chi had refined the high-grade flying boat and he stopped cultivating. He also came to the deck of the flying shuttle and consulted Di Jiu on some questions on the Dao cultivation.
