Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Xuan Yushu showed that she understood and immediately raised her hand to set up a few noise-isolation restrictions around them. Then, she said with a chuckle, “That’s right. Not only is Yueshu the most beautiful person in the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City, but there is also no one like her in the entire Great Ultimate Realm.”

After she said that, she lowered her voice subconsciously. “It is almost impossible for any male cultivator to not remember Fairy Yueshu after seeing her. However, I suggest that you just look and ask. Forget her. Otherwise, you will only get hurt in the end.”

Surprised and puzzled, Di Jiu asked, “Why is that?”

Xuan Yushu pointed outside. “You should know the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City Lord, right?”

Upon seeing Di Jiu nod, Xuan Yushu said, “Yes, it’s Moon Traverse Divine Hall Master Ren Jisha. Not only is he the Hall Master of the Moon Traverse Divine Hall, but he is also the City Lord of the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City. He has an only son called Ren He who once went to the Great Simplicity Realm with his father and happened to meet Fairy Yueshu. After that, he could no longer forget her…”

“Wait a minute.” Di Jiu promptly stopped Xuan Yushu. “Daoist Xuan, what kind of place is the Great Simplicity Realm that you’re talking about?”

Even though Di Jiu had not thought of the Great Beginning Realm when he had first heard of the Great Ultimate Realm, once he heard of the Great Simplicity Realm again, he immediately thought of the Great Beginning Realm he had heard of before.

He had heard that the void in the Void City belonged to the Great Beginning Realm. The Great Beginning Realm wanted to restore the entire realm and planned to single out the Sacred Dao World and the other realms.

This time, Xuan Yushu was shocked. Puzzled, she looked at Di Jiu. After several seconds, she asked, “Friend, you don’t know about the Great Simplicity Realm?”

Di Jiu could only reply with a bitter smile, “I really don’t know. I’ve always been in seclusion and I came out not too long ago, so I don’t know much.”

Speechless, Xuan Yushu shook her head. “Friend, this has nothing to do with being in seclusion. It’s very hard to find cultivators in the Great Ultimate Realm who don’t know about the Great Simplicity Realm.”

“Daoist, please guide me.” Di Jiu quickly cupped his fists. He had just come to the Great Ultimate Realm, so this piece of information was important to him.

Xuan Yushu explained, “In this universe, there are five major realms. However, I’ve only been to the Great Ultimate Realm and not to any of the other realms. These five realms are the Great Change Realm, the Great Beginning Realm, the Great Commencement Realm, the Great Simplicity Realm, and the Great Ultimate Realm. Not only do they represent five top-notch divine provinces, but at the same time, they also represent five different types of top-notch epoch-making cultivation techniques.

Unfortunately, this side of the universe underwent countless transformations. Even though the Great Change Realm, the Great Beginning Realm, the Great Commencement Realm, and the Great Simplicity Realm were all perfected from broken pieces again, only the Great Ultimate Realm is still fragmented and gets worse each day. I suspect that if this goes on, the Great Ultimate Realm will completely vanish from the universe.”

“Why?” Di Jiu asked, feeling puzzled.

Xuan Yushu explained, “Because the Great Ultimate Realm Master Dao Lord back then was Senior Kong Zai, who had a generous heart. He also became brothers with Great Simplicity Realm Dao Lord Ning and reached the third step. Later on, I heard that they were drawn into a war and vanished without a trace. However, the other realms were different because they had no third step. Perhaps, they had a plan, so they developed increasingly better. Without a leader, the Great Ultimate Realm sank into a huge chaotic battle. Over the years, it became more and more fragmented.”

“Thank you, Daoist, for clearing up my doubts. Please continue talking about Fairy Yueshu.” Di Jiu knew that if he wanted to fully know about these things, he would need at least a few months to finish hearing about them. In that case, he would just skip them, as they were not important to him.

Xuan Yushu smiled slightly. “Fairy Yueshu is truly a genius of the Great Simplicity Realm Sunken Fish Palace and an unrivaled beauty. Her real name is Yin Yueshu. I heard that she nearly became Dao Lord Ning’s cultivation partner. After Moon Traverse Divine Hall Young Master Ren He met Yin Yueshu, he could not forget her.

Moon Traverse Divine Hall Master Ren Jisha loves this son of his dearly and he actually personally went to the Great Simplicity Realm’s Sunken Fish Palace to propose marriage. Even though the Moon Traverse Divine Hall is an unrivaled top-notch sect in the Great Ultimate Realm, it is considered nothing compared to the Sunken Fish Palace. Therefore, they kicked Ren Jisha out.”

Di Jiu silently sighed over how overbearing the Sunken Fish Palace was. Their daughter was sought after by many people. Even though they had been reluctant, they had gone overboard by kicking him out.

“However, Ren Jisha was unresigned to this and went to the Sunken Fish Palace again, even inviting a friend who was on good terms with the Sunken Fish Palace to come along. This time, maybe because of this acquaintance, Ren Jisha was not kicked out and he made a request. If the Moon Traverse Divine Hall could give the Moon Core and the Sun Core as betrothal gifts, this marriage would not necessarily be impossible.” Xuan Yushu paused then. It seemed like even she found this unbelievable.

Upon mentioning what he wanted, Di Jiu hurriedly interrupted her. “I heard that the Moon Core and the Sun Core are extremely precious treasures. How could he take both out at the same time?”

Xuan Yushu sighed. “Who said that? I heard that Great Simplicity Realm Dao Lord Ning scoured the entire void for the Sun Core. He managed to get it after nearly losing half his life. The request made by the Sunken Fish Palace was obviously meant to make Ren Jisha back out.”

Di Jiu knew that this marriage had happened and Fairy Yueshu was now in the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City.

“However, Fairy Yueshu is now in the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City,” Di Jiu said.

Xuan Yushu nodded. “Yes. Ren Jisha unexpectedly accomplished the terrifying request of the Sunken Fish Palace. Evidently, he was very powerful and…”

Xuan Yushu lowered her voice. “Let me tell you something. I also heard one more thing. Rumor has it that Ren Jisha is Senior Kong Zai’s true successor and even obtained a copy of the King of People Book.”

“The King of People Book?” Di Jiu found this name familiar.

“Yes, the King of People Book. However, that should not be the original. The book was originally in Senior Kong Zai’s possession and it disappeared with him. Despite this, Ren Jisha is comparable to some weaker Dao Integration experts and is only at the half-step Dao Integration.” Xuan Yushu continued explaining in a low voice.

“Maybe the Moon Core and the Sun Core that Ren Jisha obtained were left behind by Senior Kong Zai,” Di Jiu guessed. These two things were his main targets.

Xuan Yushu shook her head. “I don’t know about this, but I know that after Hall Master Ren took those two things out, the Sunken Fish Palace kept its promise and allowed Fairy Yueshu to marry into the Moon Traverse Divine Hall.”

Di Jiu sighed. “It turns out that the Moon Core and the Sun Core are in the Sunken Fish Palace.”

Xuan Yushu once again shook her head. “No, this is a betrothal gift and also a dowry. I heard that the Moon Core and Sun Core are in the Moon Traverse Divine Hall with Yueshu.”

Di Jiu felt ecstatic. He had been really worried that the Sun Core would still be in the Sunken Fish Palace of the Great Simplicity Realm. Since it was a dowry, that was best. When his strength recovered, he would personally look for it.

Xuan Yushu sighed.

Di Jiu was shocked. Was there something wrong with the Moon Core and Sun Core? He promptly asked, “What’s wrong? Daoist Xuan?”

Xuan Yushu glanced at Di Jiu in surprise. Theoretically, shouldn’t Di Jiu have been disappointed to hear that Fairy Yueshu had married Ren He? Why did she feel that Di Jiu was more interested in gossiping instead?

Despite thinking so, Xuan Yushu still explained. “I heard that not long after Fairy Yueshu got married, while Ren He was trying to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, he suddenly suffered from Qi Deviation, causing his foundation to be destroyed. Now, he has become handicapped. Except for a hint of soul aura, he’s on the verge of death. I pity Fairy Yueshu, who had to live alone as soon as she got married.”
