Ninth In the World

“Quickly, send a message to the Dao Lord…” After discovering that experts from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean had come, nearly everyone immediately thought of Di Jiu.

At the moment, what could they do besides send a message to him? Out of the two people who had come from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, the old man was clearly a third-step expert.

Ever since the Creation War, the third-step experts in this world had been invincible.

“We definitely cannot send a message. Seal the entire Great Ultimate Realm immediately.” While Ren Jisha was prepared to send a message to Di Jiu, an abrupt voice interrupted him.

Everyone believed that they should send a message to Di Jiu except for one person. Everyone turned their eyes on the cultivator who had said they should not send a message to Di Jiu. He was the Peach Blossom Divine Dock Lord, Ping Jiangsheng. Ping Jiangsheng did not have a very high cultivation level but was one of the five Court Masters of the Great Ultimate Realm that Di Jiu had appointed.

“Why not?” A few of them, including Fang Jianxi, stared at Ping Jiangsheng.

Before Ping Jiangsheng could speak, Ren Jisha had taken out the array flags. At that moment, the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array produced creaking sounds. A moment later, the entire Great Ultimate Realm was sealed as if two huge iron peaks had merged.

This time, everyone looked at Ren Jisha. After all, before Di Jiu had left, the main controlling array flag of the Great Ultimate Realm had been under Ren Jisha’s control. Only Ren Jisha had the ability and qualifications to seal the arrays in the shortest time possible.

After joining the arrays, Ren Jisha said in a relieved tone, “Dock Lord Ping is right. If we sent a message to Dock Lord Di now, I’m afraid it would be meaningless. Even if he managed to rush back after receiving the news, I’m afraid that the third-step expert of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean would have torn our outer Defense Array and come into the Great Ultimate Realm by then. Everyone is aware of the power of the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Rumor has it that they have wiped out a realm before. That realm was much, much bigger than the Great Ultimate Realm.”

Upon hearing Ren Jisha’s explanation, everyone went silent. Ren Jisha was right. Di Jiu definitely could not make it back in time. If Di Jiu rushed back, he would be too late.

“But you can send a message and close the Defense Arrays. Based on what I know, after Dao Lord Di’s Defense Arrays are closed up, no news can be sent out,” Su Qianqian said with a frown.

Ren Jisha sneered. “Valley Master Su, Dao Lord Di is our only hope and the only power source that can bring together the Great Ultimate Realm. No matter how strong he is, he has yet to reach the third step, okay? Do you want him to come back and fight with a third-step expert? Furthermore, there are many third-step experts in the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Don’t you know that? Once Dao Lord Di gets involved in this, what will be his chances of escaping?”

Upon saying that, Ren Jisha cupped his fists before Ping Jiangsheng. “Thank you, Dock Lord Ping, for reminding me. Otherwise, this would have been inconceivable.”

Ren Jisha spoke impolitely. He was clearly dissatisfied with Su Qianqian’s selfishness. What Su Qianqian meant deep down was probably more than this. She wanted Di Jiu to draw away the experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.

“Protector Ren, how do you know that the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array could resist the third-step experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean?” Fang Jianxi asked.

No matter how many third-step experts there were, they had never seen one. They could only guess. Even if the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array was a level-nine Divine Array, it probably could not withstand the continuous attacks of third-step experts.

Fang Jianxi and Ren Jisha were both Protectors. What he had asked was actually what everyone had wanted to ask.

Ren Jisha said firmly, “Because I trust Dao Lord Di. Before he left, he handed the array flag of this Defense Array to me. At the same time, he told me that if a crisis took place, we should immediately seal the entire Great Ultimate Realm. I don’t know how Sect Master Di set up the Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm, but I believe he wouldn’t deceive me. I believe that we should form a cultivator army now.”

Most people agreed with him. They were unaware of how powerful the cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean were, but many of them had witnessed how strong Di Jiu was. Di Jiu had killed a mid-stage Dao Integration cultivator of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean with one saber move and stopped the Great Ultimate Realm from degenerating. This was something a mid-stage Dao Integration cultivator could not do.

Ping Jiangsheng then said, “I agree with Protector Ren. Dao Lord Di is the strongest person I have ever met. Since he said that, that means that he is confident about it. He will very soon know that we have sealed the Great Ultimate Realm, so we don’t have to send him a message. He knows that we would rather seal the Great Ultimate Realm than send him a message and will thus know what is going on.”

Everyone thought that Ren Jisha and Ping Jiangsheng’s words made sense. Right now, they indeed could not deal with the experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. After they sealed the Great Ultimate Realm, they could form a cultivator army with ease.

…

“Martial Uncle Yiyu, I sense that something is wrong with this Defense Array,” that young cultivator said with a frown after continuously attacking dozens of times outside the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array.

After all, he was a perfected Dao Integration expert. An ordinary Defense Array, including the Realm Defense Array, would show traces of being broken after he continuously attacked it with his divine power. However, despite attacking dozens of times at full force, it was all in vain.

The old man called Yiyu was Bei Yiyu, the true Creation Realm expert of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, yet he did not attack. While the young cultivator was attacking, he was observing from the side. In fact, ever since Ren Jisha had closed up the Defense Array, he had been observing the Defense Array before him.

Upon hearing the young cultivator’s words, he still did not answer. Instead, he took out a Half-Moon Wheel and struck with it. The Half-Moon Wheel produced a ghastly blade flare. It was still somewhat weak when he struck with it. However, when it struck the Defense Array of the Great Ultimate Realm, this slightly weak, ghastly blade flare had turned into a wide half-moon blade.

Boom! When the half-moon blade struck the Defense Array, Dao rune aura erupted all over and the entire space swayed intensively. The young cultivator on the side seemed to have heard something split open in the void and produce a cracking sound.

The young cultivator shouted excitedly, “Martial Uncle Yiyu, this Defense Array has split open! As long as we continue attacking it, it will break. How dare a small Great Ultimate Realm stop the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean!”

Bei Yiyu did not continue to attack. As he shook his head and sighed, he said, “You’re wrong. We cannot break this Defense Array. At the very least, not anytime soon. Although you saw that we seem to have broken this Defense Array, in fact, it will instantly repair itself.”

The young cultivator looked at Bei Yiyu in disbelief. Martial Uncle Yiyu was a Creation Realm expert of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean who knew what he was doing. Rumor had it that after the second Creation War, there had been no more third-step experts in this universe. In that case, Martial Uncle Yiyu should be able to tear apart the Defense Array in front of him easily. Why couldn’t he do that?

Bei Yiyu said in a low voice, “Yifei, I’ve seen this Defense Array. It’s definitely a Divine Array that surpasses level nine. In fact, those arrays are not much. However, this Defense Array has at least more than two Five-Element Flags that conform with each other. This is not something my power alone can break.”

“Five-Element Flags…” Bei Yifei’s excited voice was trembling.

Bei Yiyu nodded his head. “Yes, it has Five-Element Flags. I really didn’t expect that the Five-Element Flags would be in the Great Ultimate Realm or would even be used to set up the Defense Array. This person is very daring.”

“Martial Uncle…” Bei Yifei sounded even more excited. The Five-Element Flags had completely filled his heart at that moment.

Bei Yiyu gestured with his hand. “The Five-Element Flags are not something the two of us can take away, not even if we manage to blast the Defense Array. These Five-Element Flags have not been refined in an ordinary manner. Once the Defense Array is broken, the Five-Element Flags will be taken away. Once that happens, we’ll have to wait until more experts of the Bei Family come. When the Bei Family uses the Dharma treasure to seal this universe, they will break the Great Ultimate Realm. Then, even the Five-Element Flags won’t be able to escape.”
