Ninth In the World

Di Jiu tore apart the plane and returned to Earth. Great changes had happened in a few decades and Wang Chuan Mountain Range appeared to be desolate besides having almost no demon beasts in sight.

“Grandfather, did my mother live here before?” Di Xiangnu looked at the villa on Wang Chuan Temple as she asked this question in shock.

Di Jiu had never told her about the Di Family’s background, so she had thought that their family should be the same as the Ning Family, which was just a huge clan of cultivators.

After coming to Wang Chuan Temple, she understood that the Heaven Earth Spirit Qi here was not even on par with the surroundings of Harsh Spring Mountain Range, where she used to live.

“Yes, your mother used to stay here…” Di Jiu did not continue. He thought how he had never done his part as her father after she had been born and felt very guilty.

“Grandfather, my mother definitely knows you had things to do.” Di Xiangnu did not bear grudges but also did not have low emotional intelligence. She had wandered many years with Ah Xi and Yan Yumo and could easily understand things with one glance. She knew that her grandfather was feeling guilty about her mother judging by his facial expression.

Di Jiu did not explain. Instead, he pointed to the villa and said, “The cultivating resources in your ring are sufficient for you to cultivate. I have some things to do, so I cannot accompany you. If you’re bored alone, you can walk around in the secular city.”

Di Xiangnu was at the fifth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm and had survived in the Harsh Spring Forest for decades. She certainly would not be in danger on Earth and would not be afraid even if she met a Connate expert. Besides, Di Jiu had left a nomological imprint on her.

“Grandfather, what about you?” Di Xiangnu looked at Di Jiu doubtfully.

If her grandfather wanted to enter seclusion, it would be better if he stayed on Big Deep Planet.

“I have some things to do. I don’t know how much time I will need, but I’ll be underneath Wang Chuan Temple,” Di Jiu told her. His only goal this time was to refine the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge and take it away.

“Alright, got it,” Di Xiangnu hurriedly responded.

“Alright. I have imparted to you the Five-Element escape technique besides the Spiritual Force escape technique. If your cultivation is not improving quickly, you have to take some time to learn this escape technique,” Di Jiu told her repeatedly before disappearing underground.

Within a few minutes, he landed outside a black wooden bridge.

Di Jiu’s cultivation level was still low, so his Spiritual Force was faint when he landed on this wooden bridge. As his Spiritual Force once again landed on it, he could immediately capture clearly the whereabouts of the wooden bridge as well as the ancient word ‘reincarnation’.

Di Jiu stepped onto the wooden bridge without any hesitation. His Spiritual Force immediately got hold of the wooden bridge and the nomological imprints landed on it. At the same time, his Nomological Qi Circulation was linked to the wooden bridge.

Almost the instant that Di Jiu stepped onto the wooden bridge, it once again darkened as if it would disappear moments later.

Di Jiu’s Nomological Dao had formed its own system. After the wooden bridge darkened to a certain extent, it was affected by his Spiritual Force law. His Nomological Qi Circulation had also already permeated it.

Boom! Upon sensing that someone was going to refine it, the Reincarnation Bridge erupted with an endless nomological aura. His Spiritual Sea seemed to be toppled with reincarnation fragments of the entire universe and all kinds of reincarnation aura in that split second.

Di Jiu suddenly felt intense pain and could no longer continue refining the reincarnation bridge. His Nomological Qi Circulation frantically flew towards this reincarnation aura and the reincarnation fragments poured into his Spiritual Sea. His Spiritual Sea would very soon explode if he did not refine all these reincarnation fragments as quickly as possible.

At the moment, Di Jiu could not be any happier that his Spiritual Sea had been plotted against and he had the Ninth World.

If his Starry Sky Spiritual Sea had not been plotted against before and had not formed a galaxy, he would not have been able to resist at all. That first wave would have directly degenerated his Spiritual Sea.

The Reincarnation Bridge rolled without a break and an endless dark aura enveloped Di Jiu. At that moment, Di Jiu, who was sitting on the Reincarnation Bridge, seemed to have already perished. Thus, the Yin Qi froze his body.

If this had been the first time, Di Jiu could still have distributed a hint of his intent to observe the situation outside. In the end, his entire body and mind were immersed into the reincarnation aura on the wooden bridge.

The aura on the wooden bridge kept changing and the wooden bridge’s fluctuation kept weakening. However, Di Jiu still did not seem to know this, as he was in an oblivious state in his own world.

…

The Demonic Clothing Mountain was considered the top mountain in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. Not only was this mountain famous in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, but it was also well-known among the Four Major Immortal Continents.

Nothing was more famous than the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

Once the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit started, it would last a hundred years. However, Dao discussions normally lasted for at most a few days.

The longest one after the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit was the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring cultivation.

The reason the Demonic Clothing Mountain had been chosen as the venue of the summit was due to the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring, not just the Demonic Clothing Mountain’s mystic area. Under normal circumstances, the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit was attended by the five largest and most powerful sects of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent. Besides the Sect Masters of the Five Major Sects and their successors, notaries also participated in the summit.

At the start of the summit, the Demonic Clothing Mountain Immortal Spring was opened. The successors of the Five Major Sects entered the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring to cultivate for a hundreds years. At the same time, the Sect Masters of the Five Major Sects were discussing the Dao at the top of the Demonic Clothing Mountain for a hundreds years.

After a hundreds years, the Immortal Spring was basically dull and lonely. The next time it would open was when the next summit would take place. Then, the five successors who had entered the Immortal Spring to cultivate once again came to the top of the Demonic Clothing Mountain. They participated in the second section of the Dao discussion—the battle technique, which was also the most important section of the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

The first person to learn the battle technique went into the Demonic Clothing Mountain for a month. After this person came out, the second one entered for a month.

The Demonic Clothing Mountain was only so huge. Although the interval between each Dao discussion time was relatively long, many new top-notch immortal materials emerged in the Demonic Clothing Mountain. The later one went in, the fewer things there were to be collected.

Therefore, it was only a bit meaningful to be the first and second person to go in the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. To be specific, only being the first person had a true meaning.

The Five Major Sects of the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit had originally been the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Yaohua Snow Mountain, Starry Demon Palace, Heavenly Cloud Dao, Sword Shift Immortal Sect, and Buzhou Immortal Sect. However, the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Xiling Yuanyi, had gone to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to provoke Di Jiu and had been killed by him.

Only Yaohua Snow Mountain, the Heavenly Cloud Dao, the Starry Demon Palace, and the Sword Shift Immortal Sect were left to participate in the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

Nobody had expected Yaohua Snow Mountain to send a notary to invite Di Jiu over to participate in the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. However, he was not at home, so Black Fire brought Zhangsun Huang to the Demonic Clothing Mountain.

Zhangsun Huang was Xie Wanling’s son, even though he had changed his name. Zhangsun Huang now wanted to participate in the discussion, but the other three major sects naturally disagreed.

The Starry Demon Palace’s successor was Xie Cheng, so they could no longer allow Zhangsun Huang to participate in the Dao discussion.

However, Black Fire entered the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s place. The Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit had originally been the Five Major Sects. However, with Black Fire and Zhangsun Huang taking the Buzhou Immortal Sect’s place, combined with the fact that Zhangsun Huang had changed his name, Xie Wanling could only accept this regardless of how dissatisfied he was.

He was not afraid of anyone else, but he did not dare disrespect Di Jiu.

What made a few major sects’ Sect Masters look down upon him was the five successors entering the Demonic Clothing Mountain Immortal Spring for cultivation. The Five Major Sects’ Sect Masters had been invited along with the notary to start the real Dao discussion, but Black Fire could not discuss with them. He could only glance around as he sat aside. He widened his nose and eyes and walked out of the venue with both hands clasped behind him.

If Di Jiu was not backing him up, such a person, who lowered the class of the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit, would have already been killed.

…

At the top of the Demonic Clothing Mountain, Yaohua Snow Mountain’s Sect Master, Mo Louxue, stopped the Dao discussion and focused her attention in the direction of the Demonic Clothing Mountain Immortal Spring. She then said with a laugh, “A hundred years have passed. I think the Demonic Clothing Mountain Immortal Spring will soon close and the five of them will come out.”

As the rest were about to agree with her, thunder rolls came rumbling down all of a sudden.

Mo Louxue, Yue Wuliang, Xie Wanling, and Zhou Bujian’s faces changed. As top-notch Immortal Emperor experts, how could they not know that this was the Immortal Supremacy’s Thunder Tribulation?

There was an age restriction on those who went into the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring during the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. Even if someone had a heaven-defying aptitude, they definitely could not advance into an Immortal Supremacy in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring.

Now, someone had advanced into an Immortal Supremacy in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Spring, so why were they still talking with a few Immortal Kings and an Immortal Supremacy?
