Ninth In the World

Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu, seemingly prying into his thoughts. He took a deep breath and said, “I’m not threatening him with that woman. I only want to take back my things. Even if the other party is unwilling to give them to me, I won’t vent my anger on someone that has nothing to do with it.”

Di Jiu said faintly, “I can help you, but I’m not used to using a woman to threaten other people. I first need to remind you that this is a piece of news that you heard from someone. You’re not even sure of the accuracy of this piece of news. Second, even if they acquired your things, they did so inadvertently. They did not take them on purpose. You’re not being reasonable about this.”

“Then how are you going to help me?” Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu, feeling puzzled.

Di Jiu said, “Don’t worry. If the other party reasons with you, you won’t need my help. If he is unreasonable, I can make a move on him.”

“Alright. We’ll do that,” Dao Lord Po Xu agreed without hesitation.

“Do you know Dao Lord Calamity?” Di Jiu believed that Dao Lord Po Xu should know who Dao Lord Calamity was.

Dao Lord Po Xu chuckled and said disdainfully, “He achieved a little after following Dao Lord Fate. Back then, among all the Dao Lords, his title was the most unconvincing. Daoist Di, why did you ask me about him?”

Di Jiu pointed at the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone outside. “He has a disciple called Weng Xing. I chased him down to this place, but he ended up escaping into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.”

Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu speechlessly. Although Dao Lord Calamity did not live up to his name, his current situation was far poorer than that of Dao Lord Calamity. He seemed to have heard Weng Xing’s name. Such an ancient expert had actually been forced by Di Jiu to escape into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. He really wanted to know which deity Di Jiu had been reincarnated from. Ancient experts like them had to put up with Di Jiu, but he knew very well that such things were very secretive so he could never inquire about it.

Because Dao Lord Po Xu wanted to be friends with Di Jiu and Di Jiu wanted to learn more about such situations from him, the two of them were even more engaged.

In the end, Dao Lord Po Xu stayed in the Mountain Gaze Restaurant because Di Jiu did not plan on entering the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone now. According to Dao Lord Po Xu, the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone was full of Creation Dao Runes because it had faced the Creation Gate in the past. After being sealed by the Heaven Earth Law, the surviving cultivators in the forbidden zone would grow into extremely terrifying experts. On the other hand, the deceased cultivators would very likely cast their soul and Principal Spirit and get reborn.

Therefore, one would need to have a death wish to enter this place without any strength.

Although Di Jiu could not reach the Dao Integration for now, he could perfect his Heaven-Opening Mantra’s divine power and increase his strength. Thus, he had to increase his strength before going in.

Because of Dao Lord Po Xu and Di Jiu, the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone grew increasingly more famous instead. More and more cultivators rushed to this side and gathered there.

To Di Jiu’s pleasant surprise, Jing Xihua actually had Five-Element Chaos Qi. Although Dao Lord Po Xu did not say so directly, he guessed that Dao Lord Po Xu had done this for Jing Xihua’s Five-Element Chaos Qi.

Di Jiu did not ask Jing Xihua for Five-Element Chaos Qi again, as the one given to Lightning was enough for him.

Besides cultivating and raising one’s aptitude, the Five-Element Chaos Qi could also be used to get enlightened about divine power.

Di Jiu did not need this to cultivate but could use it to be enlightened about the Heaven-Opening Mantra.

…

Two more years had passed. The Heaven-Opening Writing Brush in Di Jiu’s hand had waved out the word ‘realm’ in huge letters in the void. When that had happened, the void seemed to have formed a new realm, where the Heaven Earth Law was formulated by Di Jiu. Anyone who entered this realm would be Di Jiu’s prey.

Di Jiu silently sighed. He did not know the words after ‘Solitary Void Without Yin and Yang’ of the Heaven-Opening Mantra, which Shang Huijue had understood. However, Di Jiu was sure that the word ‘realm’ was not in Shang Huijue’s Heaven-Opening Mantra.

His cultivation level was limited now. It was still very hard for this ‘realm’ word to constrain a true expert, but thanks to his Heavenly Aqua Saber, there would be no problem.

Xiuqi had yet to wake up. However, everything was going well. Ye Yimo had yet to wake up as well. It looked like he would need some time to look for the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus.

Di Jiu immediately sent a message to Dao Lord Po Xu, wanting to know whether he knew about the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus. If he didn’t know, he would go to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone first.

As soon as Di Jiu walked to the cave abode, Lightning welcomed him eagerly. Recently, Lightning had been too comfortable.

Now that the Mountain Gaze Restaurant had become its property, the divine crystals earned also belonged to it. Although there was a pile of divine crystals and divine spirit meridians in Di Jiu’s Ninth World, nothing was more delightful than earning its own.

This was not the most important factor, however. As soon as Lightning went out, everyone called it ‘Second Master’ respectfully.

Di Jiu had not managed anything at all. Lightning was in charge of the Mountain Gaze Restaurant.

“What’s wrong?” Di Jiu looked at Lightning in confusion. Something had to be up.

Lightning hurriedly said, “A woman called Yin Yueshu came to find you, but I told her to wait.”

“Yin Yueshu?” Di Jiu frowned and repeated the name before he recalled. He had met this woman in the Great Ultimate Realm. She had been extremely snobbish, so Di Jiu hadn’t really liked her. Why had she come here?

Back then, the Moon Core had been taken out by this woman. At this thought, Di Jiu said, “Why did she come?”

Lightning hurriedly explained, “She came half a year ago. When she arrived, she had disheveled hair and she seemed to be in dire straits. She wanted your help, but I said you were busy and didn’t have the time. However, the woman knelt and said that only you can save the Great Ultimate Realm. She wanted you to save the realm for the sake of the billions of cultivators and living beings in the Great Ultimate Realm.”

Di Jiu frowned. The Great Ultimate Realm? She wanted him to save the Great Ultimate Realm? This seemed a little ridiculous. According to his understanding of Yin Yueshu, although this woman was beautiful, she was not a kind person. She would never worry about the safety of a realm. Besides, Di Jiu knew that this woman was not from the Great Ultimate Realm.

“Call her over. I’ll meet her.” Di Jiu waved his hand. He was now wondering how he could obtain the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus and go to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

Lightning sent out a message and Yin Yueshu very soon appeared at the entrance.

“Greetings, Big Brother Di.” Upon seeing Di Jiu, Yin Yueshu bowed in terror all the way down. Did she even seem as arrogant and virtuous as before?

As Lightning had said, even after half a year, Yin Yueshu was still in dire straits and her Dao runes were somewhat chaotic. She had very likely yet to recover from her injuries. However, her appearance was still delicate and refined. Not many women could be compared to her.

Di Jiu faintly said, “Get straight to the point. I have been very busy recently, so I’m afraid I don’t have much time to waste.”

“Big Brother Di, please save the Great Ultimate Realm. It’s about to dissipate. Only you can save it…” Yin Yueshu knelt this time with a pitiful look yet still looked delicate and refined. From the looks of it, she was much prettier than her virtuous looks had been in the past.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand and a valiant Divine Essence force scanned Yin Yueshu before he said, “Speak your mind. Even if something happened to the Great Ultimate Realm, I’m not the only one who can save it. There are many experts in the universe. Even though countless experts have gone out of the Great Ultimate Realm, why am I the only one who can save it?”
