Ninth In the World

What made Di Jiu feel surprised was that the white teleportation whirlpool actually persisted for a very long time before gradually weakening. If it had sufficient help from the Immortal Spirit Qi, this teleportation whirlpool would certainly persist even longer…

Di Jiu then felt something strange all of a sudden. His Spirit Force immediately landed on the 72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians in his Ninth World.

When he’d collected these supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians at first, he had not thought much of it. Now that his Spiritual Force swept in, he immediately realized that something was not right. Each of these immortal spirit meridians had a mysterious, esoteric Dao pattern on it. He could immediately make out what these Dao patterns were for.

These Dao patterns were obviously the Teleportation Array’s Spirit Gathering Dao patterns. In other words, if he put these immortal spirit meridians into his ring, his ring would explode as long as the white talisman shattered, regardless of whether he was in the Dai He Hall. Once his ring exploded, the 72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians would definitely burst out.

The 72 supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians’ Dao pattern would allow these immortal spirit meridians to form a Spirit-Gathering Immortal Array, which would mainly provide Immortal Spirit Qi to this white Teleportation Array.

Powerful… It was simply too powerful. Not only was Jiang Dai powerful, but he was also sinister. This old man was definitely not an ordinary sinister person, but someone rotten to the core.

He had made someone acknowledge him as his Master and also made him activate the teleportation whirlpool, drawing four people who sent the light from providence shining in the Immortal World and the Dharma treasure suppressing it. He eventually had to take back the present he had given to his disciple and simply make use of people.

He was not cultivating the Nomological Dao and did not have the Ninth World. However, he had still fallen into his trap, so he had to be wary of this fellow in the future.

Di Jiu grabbed a few middle-grade immortal spirit meridians from the ring and threw them into the teleportation whirlpool. He could not allow this Teleportation Array to stop before those four people arrived.

The Immortal Spirit Qi of the middle-grade immortal spirit meridians was naturally insufficient but could still maintain this teleportation for a period of time.

When the Teleportation Array continued to operate, Di Jiu started to sit on the outside of this Teleportation Array so that he would be enlightened about the nomological aura of this array.

Truthfully speaking, Di Jiu initially had not cared much about this Teleportation Array. He had believed that this Teleportation Array had definitely been set up by the fellow from the Upper Realm. This thing was not identical to his Array Dao, so he could only watch the fun.

When Di Jiu captured the Array Dao’s nomological aura, he sensed a brand new array setup technique coming from the Teleportation Array and started admiring it.

This Teleportation Array was totally different from the array setup technique he had a grasp on, yet it had a unique insight into something new and original.

In addition, his guess earlier had been wrong. This Teleportation Array had not been set up by an expert from the Upper Realm at all but by an Array Dao expert who was also in the Immortal World. His cultivation level was definitely not any stronger than his now. To be exact, this Array Dao expert had only set up half an array.

The so-called half-array mostly appeared on the Teleportation Array, where one side was set up first and the other side afterward…

Upon thinking, Di Jiu grew somewhat cold inside. He started deducing that this Teleportation Array had been set up by Jiang Dai. Back when Jiang Dai had still been an Immortal Emperor, he seemed to have already started gathering the light from providence shining in the Immortal World. He had first established the Dai He Hall and made one person in every immortal continent gather it for him through unknown techniques.

All this was not the end. He had also set up a Teleportation Array to the Upper Realm in the Dai He Hall. After he was done with that, Jiang Dai had then teleported to the Upper Realm and continued learning the Array Dao. Following that, he’d set up the other end of this Teleportation Array and completed it…

Di Jiu dare not think any further. If all this was true, this Jiang Dai was the most scheming, sinister, and cruel fellow he had ever met.

Di Jiu did not continue analyzing this. He had complete control over the array setup technique of this Teleportation Array. Although the technique was not bad, it was still far from his current technique.

He did not look down on Jiang Dai. However, when he set up this Teleportation Array, he was not on par with him regardless of his cultivation level or Array Dao. Di Jiu was also afraid of Jiang Dai at the same time, as he was simply too scheming.

…

Di Jiu waited three days. After the Teleportation Array’s ray of light once again darkened, a light ray rapidly approached.

Within a short time, a cultivator in black appeared in front of Di Jiu.

Di Jiu knew who he was but did not believe he was the one helping Jiang Dai to gather the light from providence shining in the Immortal World.

The person who had come was the Sword Shift Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Zhou Bujian. If there was anyone he had a good impression of among the five great Immortal Emperors in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent, it would be Zhou Bujian. Even if Mo Louxue came over, Di Jiu would not find it strange. The only person he would find strange to see was Zhou Bujian.

He believed that he had not seen wrong. Zhou Bujian’s Sword Dao carried a kind of unyielding aura that was pressing forward. Di Jiu had only seen this aura in the Heaven Saber Sect.

He definitely did not believe that he would become Jiang Dai’s lackey and gather the light from providence shining in the Immortal World.

“Daoist Di, how come you’re here?” Zhou Bujian looked at Di Jiu, who was standing outside the Teleportation Array and appeared to be more shocked than him, with some pleasant surprise despite his shock.

Di Jiu smiled slightly. “I was also going to ask why you came here, Sect Master Zhou.”

“I’ve got it.” Zhou Bujian looked at the teleportation whirlpool that had already weakened. “Daoist Di, you probably came here because of the teleportation whirlpool, right? This is such a coincidence, but you must not approach this teleportation whirlpool. If I guessed correctly, this should have been set up by a ruthless person from the Upper Realm.”

Di Jiu looked at Zhou Bujian in confusion, not understanding what he meant by that. If Zhou Bujian had been chosen by Jiang Dai, he would not have said all these things. If he had not, he should not have known all these things either.

“How do you know, Sect Master Zhou?” Di Jiu casually asked.

Zhou Bujian sighed. “Actually, I planned to invite you over here but I didn’t know this teleportation whirlpool would appear all of a sudden. I couldn’t find you, so I had to come over here alone. I spent two top-notch level-nine immortal escape talismans to arrive here quickly.”

Di Jiu did not interrupt, as he knew what Zhou Bujian said might be what he wanted to know.

As expected, Zhou Bujian added, “I heard that Daoist Di came from the Square Immortal Continent. I believe that you should know about the nirvana of the Square Immortal Continent, right? Actually, the sunset state in the Square Immortal Continent was totally man-made.”

Di Jiu grew stern. Zhou Bujian knew some things indeed. He cupped his fists and said, “Sect Master Zhou, please enlighten me.”

Zhou Bujian nodded. “A very long time ago, a talented cultivator appeared in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent. He was called Jiang Tian. Not only was he born with a Dao body, but he could also condense any Dao he looked at into his Dao pattern. He also obtained a set of connate priceless treasures called the Heaven Earth Five-Direction Flags or the Five-Element Flags…”

“The Heaven Earth Five-Element Flags?” Di Jiu interrupted Zhou Bujian. “How do you know this?”

Zhou Bujian hurriedly said with cupped fists, “Because these Five-Direction Flags came originally from the Zhou Family. Jiang Tian’s aptitude was too heaven-defying. My family ancestor, Zhou Chenxin, took him in as a disciple and married off his only daughter, Zhou Yuyun, to him. He even wanted to pass down the Five-Direction Flags to Jiang Tian…”

Zhou Bujian then sighed deeply with an urgent killing intent and said, “However, this bastard plotted against my ancestor on the night that he got married and snatched the Five-Direction Flags away. When he plotted against my ancestor Zhou Chenxin, he told him that he could not wait any longer because he had a great use for the Five-Direction Flags. Thus, he could only kill my ancestor. He also said that he needed to exterminate the Zhou Family and asked my ancestor not to worry…”

Upon hearing this, Di Jiu realized that Jiang Tian had not kept his word. Otherwise, Zhou Bujian would not have been here. He was curious to know how Zhou Bujian knew this so clearly.
