Ninth In the World

Chapter 820: Nong Xiuqi’s World

The Dao World’s Limitless Palace appeared to be incomparably desolate. Di Jiu had been in seclusion in a cave abode deep in the Limitless Palace for a decade and had never left.

Because of that, the cultivators outside did not dare to enter the Limitless Palace. On the other hand, cultivators of the Limitless Palace had already divided all the things there before they secretly left.

After Fu Buwen’s death, the Limitless Palace ceased to exist except in name.

Only Lan Ru still stayed outside the cave abode where Di Jiu was in seclusion to wait for him. Even if other cultivators wanted to have a few words with Di Jiu, they didn’t dare to do so upon seeing Lan Ru waiting there. Thus, they left the Limitless Palace one after another.

Zhen Man, who had mingled among the many cultivators who left, quietly left. Perhaps she thought that nobody was paying attention to her. However, Lan Ru saw her leaving clearly but didn’t want to talk to her.

Apart from Lan Ru, Kuang Yiren was also waiting for Di Jiu because when Lan Ru was waiting outside the cave abode where Di Jiu was in seclusion, he didn’t dare to stay in the Limitless Palace, but outside to wait for Di Jiu.

Di Jiu, who had been sitting for a decade, suddenly stood up and revealed a hint of pleasant surprise. Then, he kept running about according to a certain law in the hall.

If Lan Ru was inside, she would surely realize that with every round Di Jiu ran, his figure became weaker as though it was becoming further.

Di Jiu had no thoughts at this moment. In ten years, he finally found a trace of different spatial nomological aura.

When he touched this very different spatial law, he vaguely noticed Nong Xiuqi’s aura. This was indeed an independent spatial world that had integrated a trace of the Dao runes from Nong Xiuqi’s soul.

He was very glad that Nong Xiuqi cultivated the Nomological Qi Circulation. Otherwise, even if he was given 100,000 years, he would not be able to find this different spatial law. In other words, even if he found it, he could enter that spatial law.

Now, Di Jiu sensed that every step he took, he was one step closer to Nong Xiuqi’s world.

After half an hour, Di Jiu completely disappeared from this cave abode space. When Di Jiu stopped, he saw a gray space with Nong Xiuqi suspended in the void with a pale face without any aura or soul force fluctuation.

Anxious, he rushed over and embraced Nong Xiuqi in his arms without paying attention to her world.

At the same time, a drop of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe landed in Nong Xiuqi’s mouth.

The Quintessential Essence of the Universe instantly moisturized Nong Xiuqi’s entire body. When Di Jiu clearly sensed that Nong Xiuqi had a little trace of life-force, he was relieved.

Di Jiu knew that Nong Xiuqi had sent him the message by burning her soul in which only death would follow. Without the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, maybe he really couldn’t save Nong Xiuqi.

The introduction of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe in the Book of the World⁠—the life origin for spirits. Di Jiu didn’t know if the Quintessential Essence of the Universe could eventually recover Nong Xiuqi, so now he needed to find the Two-Realm Flower immediately.

Di Jiu sent Nong Xiuqi to the Ninth World where there was also Ye Yimo who needed the Two-Realm Flower as well. This made Di Jiu feel very guilty. He had to find the Two-Realm Flower or he could only save one person.

Sensing that Ye Yimo’s trace of soul force was still growing on the supreme-grade spirit meridian and frantically absorbing the Divine Spirit Qi, Di Jiu was secretly amazed. Without hesitation, he then gave Ye Yimo a drop of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.

He felt that Ye Yimo didn’t seem to change much and quickly instructed Lightning to take care of Nong Xiuqi while he left the Ninth World.

At this time, everything must be left aside. For him, the most important thing was to go between the two realms and look for the Two-Realm Flower.

…

Ye Yimo felt that she had been wandering in a boundless void and her intent was always indistinct. The Chaotic Lava gave her the ability to absorb the Heaven Earth Divine Essence and she frantically absorbed that. The more she absorbed, the more she felt that she needed more Heaven Earth Essence Energy.

No matter how much Heaven Earth Essence Energy she had, it could only allow her not to disintegrate. That trace of her intent still could not become clear and did not have any ability to make decisions.

Just then, she suddenly sensed that a clear divine spring was pouring into her soul force which then grew rapidly and her intent became clearer and clearer.

Wasn’t I killed? Ye Yimo tried hard to think of something important but to no avail. However, that clear spring that had poured onto her soul was still continuously growing her soul. Without thinking about other things, Ye Yimo frantically absorbed that clear spring.

In the Thunder Ocean Divine Pearl, her body finally had some fuzzy shadows, but that trace of clear spring seemed to be endless and was still nourishing Ye Yimo’s physical body, that only had a shadow, and soul.

…

As soon as Di Jiu walked out, he saw Lan Ru waiting outside and was a little stunned. Based on his calculations, he should have been in seclusion for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, ten years later, Lan Ru was still waiting for him outside. Could it be that Lan Ru needed his help?

“Elder Sister Lan Ru, you’re still here?” Di Jiu asked, puzzled.

Upon seeing Di Jiu come out, Lan Ru was happy and quickly said with a bow, “Big Brother Di, I’m here to thank you for saving my life. You saved me twice, but I… I…”

When Lan Ru thought of Di Jiu saving her for the first time, she couldn’t even convince her father to rescue Di Jiu and thus, she felt ashamed.

Di Jiu waved his hand. “That was nothing. Moreover, you’ve already thanked me before and saved me back then. Elder Sister Lan Ru, if there is nothing else, I will leave.”

Di Jiu wanted to go to the place in between the two realms in a hurry to look for the Two-Realm Flower.

Lan Ru hesitated and said, “Big Brother Di, my father wants to invite you to the Cloud Distant Palace…”

When Di Jiu was about to refuse, Lan Ru continued to say, “I actually hope you don’t go. When you stayed behind to stop Jiang Dai at that time, I pleaded with my father to save you. Sorry, my father didn’t go… ”

Lan Ru lowered her head, ashamed. As for why her father had called Di Jiu, she knew better than anyone.

Di Jiu replied with a laugh, “Elder Sister Lan Ru, we are friends and that has nothing to do with your father. You don’t have to take it to heart that your father didn’t save me. I have something urgent now, so we’ll meet next time.”

After that, Di Jiu stepped out of the Limitless Palace in one step. Staring blankly at Di Jiu’s figure, Lan Ru felt guilty and sorrowful. She knew that her father’s wish must have failed.

“Daoist Kuang, are you looking for me?” Upon seeing that Kuang Yiren had not left, Di Jiu stopped. No matter what, Kuang Yiren had waited for him in the Limitless Palace, so he had to stop for a while.

Upon seeing Di Jiu come over, Kuang Yiren said in pleasant surprise, “Brother Di, I’m here to thank you. Without you back then, I couldn’t have reached the second step in such a short time.”

While speaking, Kuang Yiren bowed again. He was truly thanking Di Jiu and waited here to make friends with him.

Di Jiu hurriedly replied, “Brother Kuang, thank you for telling me about Xiuqi’s news. I have some urgent matters to attend, so I can only visit you the next time.”

Kuang Yiren immediately knew that Di Jiu had regarded him as a friend and he was even more pleased. “Brother Di, please do your things. I promise to keep paying attention.”

In fact, he was guilty that something had happened to Nong Xiuqi. Although he knew he couldn’t deal with Fu Buwen, he didn’t pay any attention after sending Nong Xiuqi out.

“Thank you, Brother Kuang. I still have one more thing to ask. I want to go from the Dao World to the Immortal World. Is there any simple way?” Di Jiu suddenly thought that maybe Kuang Yiren knew something about the realm between the Immortal World and the Dao World.

Kuang Yiren laughed. “Brother Di, you’ve asked the right person.”
