Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

“Stop. I’m…” Before the cultivator in red could say where he was from, he was hacked into two by Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Upon stepping on the ground, Di Jiu opened his palm to put away four of his Five-Element Flags.

By then, the black mist behind him had dissipated. Clearly, the Great Ultimate Realm had once again been restored.

“Sect Master Di, is the black mist really gone?” Ren Jisha, who spat out blood, asked in disbelief.

Di Jiu took out an elixir pill and put it into Ren Jisha’s mouth before he answered, “Yes, I made the black mist disperse. The Great Ultimate Realm will no longer face any problems.”

All the cultivators seemed to be focused on Di Jiu’s movements. Once Di Jiu had come out, he had killed the cultivator in red with one saber move, which had shocked them. Now that Di Jiu had said clearly that the Great Ultimate Realm’s black mist had dispersed and the realm would no longer face any problems, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Some cultivators who yearned to stay in the Great Ultimate Realm cried tears of joy.

Countless cultivators who learned the news only shouted, “Sect Master Di forever, Great Ultimate Realm forever!”

In an instant, the Great Ultimate Realm’s cohesion reached its peak.

“Sect Master Di, many cultivators and sects have moved. I’ll send them a message to come back,” Su Qianqian said excitedly as she walked forward.

The black mist had truly been wiped out by Di Jiu, which meant that not only had the Great Ultimate Realm been saved, but the Winter Valley had been saved as well. Su Qianqian no longer needed to be a sinner of the Winter Valley.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “No need. Inform all the Array Masters to set up the Great Ultimate Realm’s boundary and the Defense Array with me. When that is completed, no people will be able to come in and go out of the Great Ultimate Realm as they please.”

Upon hearing that, Su Qianqian was shocked and secretly glad that she had not left the Great Ultimate Realm and had stayed there to guard the Winter Valley. Otherwise, given the bad impression the Winter Valley had left on Di Jiu, it might not have had the chance to return to the Great Ultimate Realm.

…

Di Jiu was a level-nine Divine Array Emperor. This factor, in combination with his huge prestige after saving the Great Ultimate Realm, affected everyone when he suggested repairing the boundary and setting up the Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm again. The other sects spared no effort and took out all sorts of blacksmithing materials to support Di Jiu as he set up the boundary.

Many sects were not dumb. They had not done much to disperse the black mist, so now that Di Jiu wanted to set up the Defense Array, they naturally had to do what they could. Each of them was aware that after Di Jiu set up the Defense Array, he would also establish the Great Ultimate Dao Court. If they put in more effort now, they would have a proper standing in the Dao court in the future.

Array flags were refined and set up. Meanwhile, Di Jiu constantly used the supreme-grade divine weapon to suppress the array core of the Defense Array. The Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm progressed each day. During the process of setting up the Defense Array, some cultivators who heard the news returned to the Great Ultimate Realm. However, at the moment, Di Jiu’s Defense Array had yet to be completely set up. Hence, he could not stop these people from entering the Great Ultimate Realm.

After each cultivator who entered the Great Ultimate Realm found out about the exact situation, except for a small minority of sects and people, most of the cultivators helped set up the Defense Array.

The Great Ultimate Realm had originally had this Defense Array but it had been broken. Now that Di Jiu set it up again and used the original Defense Array, the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array was set up completely within a year.

When the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array was closed up, all the cultivators in the Great Ultimate Realm understood that from now on, the Great Ultimate Realm would be like the other four realms. They would no longer be secondary in status.

When the array was closed up, Di Jiu distributed the identification Dao token to the cultivators of the Great Ultimate Realm. From that day onward, any cultivator who needed to go in and out of the Great Ultimate Realm would need to have an identification token. Itinerant Cultivators, sect disciples, or even foreign cultivators would have to have all sorts of identification tokens. Anyone who didn’t have one would not be allowed inside.

On the surface, the Great Ultimate Realm seemed like the other realms and was even more secure. However, Di Jiu was aware that the Great Ultimate Realm and its Defense Array lacked a treasure to suppress the light from providence. Without this treasure, this stability was superficial.

When he left the Great Ultimate Realm one day, it would return to the period it had been in before he had come.

If Yin Yueshu had not found him, Di Jiu would have been unaware that the treasure the Great Ultimate Realm lacked was the Yin-Yang Taijitu. Although he now knew, it was too late. He had left the Yin-Yang Taijitu in the Lost Dao World by exchanging it with the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush.

If he wanted to truly restore the Great Ultimate Realm like the other four realms, he would have to take back the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

This made him feel helpless. He could not do that unless he reached Dao Integration. If he went to the Lost Dao World before that, it would still be very dangerous for him. He could escape for the first time, but that didn’t mean that there would be a next time.

…

The Great Ultimate Realm disseminated that it would establish a Dao Court as soon as possible. Not only did the cultivators rush back, but the cultivators of other realms also rushed to the Great Ultimate Realm, ready to witness this grand moment.

The cultivators of this universe knew very well that after the Great Simplicity Realm established the Dao court, it would quickly become the most powerful and prosperous realm of the Five Great Realms. Now that the Great Ultimate Realm was establishing the Dao court, they could very likely become a top-notch realm once again. If they could take advantage of this chance and stay in the Great Ultimate Realm, their Dao path might advance.

Besides establishing the Dao court, the Great Ultimate Realm started establishing the top sect, the Starry Sky Saber Sect, whose Sect Master was Di Jiu. After the sect was established, they didn’t have the time to recruit disciples. Many cultivators who came to the Great Ultimate Realm wanted to see if they could enter the Starry Sky Saber Sect.

Not only had the Sect Master of the Starry Sky Saber Sect turned the tables and saved the Great Ultimate Realm, but he had also killed Bei Jie with one saber move.

Di Jiu did not know who Bei Jie was. In the vast universe, many people knew Bei Jie, who was rumored to be someone from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.

Rumor had it that there were no weak cultivators in the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean because there were too many experts. As a result, nobody dared to provoke any cultivators from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.

However, the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean rarely came out. In other words, no true experts came out. A few of them occasionally came out, as they were abandoned by the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. They were just low-ranking cultivators who secretly sneaked out. In the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, if anyone came out without permission, they could never go back.

Everyone knew that the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean were powerful, so nobody dared to offend them when a few of them occasionally came out. However, there was always an exception. A few cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had gone overboard and had hence been killed.

At first, everyone had wanted to see the experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean come out for revenge. However, over time, it had seemed as if they didn’t know about this. They had not sent a true expert out to seek revenge, which had made everyone suspect whether the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean was truly that powerful. Later on, many cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had been killed and nobody had stepped out to say anything. As time had passed, the power of the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had become just a rumor.

Therefore, when Di Jiu had killed Bei Jie, everyone had realized how strong Di Jiu was and had not found this improper. Since the Sect Master of the Starry Sky Saber Sect was so powerful, everyone naturally wanted to enter this sect. Besides, the Sect Master of the Starry Sky Saber Sect had to become the top Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Realm’s Dao court in the future, which everyone seemed to know.

…

Even though Di Jiu had just come to the Great Ultimate Realm, the Starry Sky Saber Sect that he had just set up was still much more powerful than the other sects. This was mainly because Dao Lord Darkness had seemed to refine a small part of the Great Ultimate Realm. After Di Jiu chased away Dao Lord Darkness, the Great Ultimate Realm became spacious. Therefore, it was really easy for Di Jiu to find a place to establish his sect.

In addition, Di Jiu had saved the entire Great Ultimate Realm and would become the Dao Lord of the Great Ultimate Dao Court. Now that he had set up a sect, everyone naturally did their best to establish the Starry Sky Saber Sect as the top sect of the Great Ultimate Realm.
