Ninth In the World

Dao World, the Limitless Palace.

The new generation of cultivators might not know where the Limitless Palace was located at, nor how powerful it was, but the older generation all knew about the Limitless Palace.

In the Dao World, other than the five top-notch major sects which included First Evolution Dao Sect, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, the Great Buddha Mountain, three other powerful existences existed.

They were the Dao World’s Three Major Divine Hidden Sects. One of them was the Cloud Distant Palace, which Palatial Lord Lan Yunshan was said to be indefinitely reaching the Dao Integration Realm. There were also the Limitless Palace and the Black Frost Palace. Together these three were known as the Three Palaces.

The Cloud Distant Palace’s Palatial Lord Lan Yunshan might be close to attaining the Dao Integration Realm but his strength was the weakest amongst the Three Palaces.

Many people were unaware of this fact because the Cloud Distant Palace rarely appeared. The Limitless Palace and the Black Frost Palace appeared even less so.

Today, however, the Limitless Palace was exceptionally lively. The Limitless Palace, which had remained silent for a long time, seemed to intend to announce to everyone and every sect in the Dao World that it was the number one sect in the Dao World — this was a fact that would never change.

In this moment, every sect and cultivator from the Dao World came by the palace to give their congratulations.

The reason was simple: The new Palatial Lord of the Limitless Palace, Fu Buwen, had successfully attained the Dao Integration Realm, becoming a true Dao Integration Sacred Emperor of the Dao World. This news spread like wild fire in the Dao World. Along with this came another news that Fu Buwen wanted to investigate on how and why his father, the old Palatial Lord Fu Lengqiong went missing.

Nong Xiuqi shook her head in response. “No, it is just that I have a friend surnamed Zhen as well. So I was suddenly reminded of her upon hearing your name.”

Zhen Man stared at Nong Xiuqi with her big, innocent-looking eyes, seemingly unable to fully comprehend what Nong Xiuqi was saying.

Nong Xiuqi knew of this name as her husband Di Jiu had spoken of a woman called Zhen Man before. Back then, Di Jiu really liked this woman, resulting in him suffering later on. There were certainly numerous females called Zhen Man in this universe. Nong Xiuqi did not inquire about Zhen Man’s origin, although she had the hunch that the Zhen Man before her was the same woman Di Jiu mentioned.

Nong Xiuqi tried her best to calm herself down as she said, “Let me consider, Palatial Lord. I might give you my answer in less than three days.”

Fu Buwen bellowed with laughter, stood up and said, “Good. This is the way it should be. The cultivators of my generation should be decisive. I shall welcome those visitors first. You can find me anytime you wish once you have thought things through. In the Limitless Palace, you will be second only to me.”

With that, Fu Buwen turned and left. Zhen Man stood up as well, feeling jealous and uneasy, although she did not show it. Then she closely followed Fu Buwen as he walked out of the extravagant cave abode.

Staring at the two retreating figures, Nong Xiuqi was very calm, having vaguely guessed the reason for Fu Buwen’s actions. In terms of beauty and cultivation, she was inferior to Zhen Man. Also, she was already married once. The only explanation why the Palatial Lord Limitless took a liking of her was because she cultivated the Nomological Qi Circulation.

She knew just how powerful the Nomological Qi Circulation was. Her cultivation speed was extremely fast because Di Jiu imparted the Starry Sky Art to her and also helped her to open the Starry Sky meridian. This resulted in her cultivation speed to surpassed the ordinary cultivator greatly.

Even so, when she attained the Sky Immortal Realm, she unhesitatingly modified the Nomological Qi Circulation Di Jiu engraved in her Spiritual Sea. The reason was because Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Qi Circulation.

Once she started cultivating using the Nomological Qi Circulation, she discovered just how slow the cultivation speed of the Starry Sky Art was. It was all thanks to the Nomological Qi Circulation that she was able to reach her current cultivation level in a short period of time.

It was a pipe-dream on Fu Buwen’s part, for him to think that she would remarry. She had already decided to burn her soul before she died to send Di Jiu a message. Di Jiu and her were very close and the former would definitely be able to sense it when she burned her soul.

Di Jiu was still currently missing but she was certain that Di Jiu was way more powerful than her. After all, what she had were all taught to her by Di Jiu. She had already achieved Dao Modeling, so Di Jiu would definitely be better than that. One day, Di Jiu would avenge her.
