Ninth In the World

“He escaped,” Nie Changping said unwillingly when the spatial fluctuation caused by the Plane Split Talisman disappeared.

He was truly unresigned to that. Even though Di Jiu had killed his son, Nie Baichi, Di Jiu had actually dared to vanish right under his nose with the Reincarnation Bridge.

Nie Changping glanced at Nuo La with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Nuo La was the one who had brought people over to set up the Confinement Array of Heaven’s Beyond. Given Nuo La’s strength, even if Di Jiu took out the Plane Split Talisman, Nuo La would have sufficient time to seal the major array and keep Di Jiu there.

Nuo La was even more unresigned than Nie Changping and seemed to have clenched her hands until they bled. She had actually allowed a nobody with a Reincarnation Bridge to slip away right before her eyes. In her eyes, those who had yet to reach Primordial Chaos were all nobodies.

The difference between the Primordial Chaos and Dao Integration was vast.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said slowly, “This person’s Array Dao is definitely powerful. When I activated the Confinement Array of Heaven’s Beyond, there was no reaction at all. Otherwise, I would have surely kept him here.”

Nie Changping knew what Nuo La meant. Before they had come, Di Jiu had done something at Heaven’s Beyond that had at least changed the Defense Array there. Just because of this, Nuo La had not managed to keep Di Jiu behind.

“Huai’er, what’s wrong?” Nuo La then realized that the expression of Lou Huai’er seemed a little strange.

Lou Huai’er was a little pale and her gaze was disorderly.

He struggled to sit up and glanced at the rows of huge green trees. Upon seeing those huge trees, he immediately understood that this place was not Earth.

This was a very old red sandalwood tree. If such trees grew on the peak of Mount Everest, people would have dug them away. Even though this place was not Earth, it was definitely a mortal planet.

The Essence Energy there was thin and had a low level. After sitting for two hours, Di Jiu stood up. Unlike other cultivators who could not seem to cultivate after suffering injuries to this extent, Di Jiu could cultivate as long as he was conscious and was in place with the Heaven Earth Law.

Regardless of the recuperation speed of his injuries, it would be fine as long as he recuperated. When he was able to enter the Ninth World and sit under the Creation Wood, he would fully recuperate in just a few seconds.

In order to stabilize his body, Di Jiu found a dead tree stick. Unfortunately, his Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in the void.

However, Di Jiu was not worried about his Heavenly Aqua Saber being lost. So long as he restored his strength, he could still sense his Heavenly Aqua Saber even if they were a few realms apart.

An anxious voice came from behind Di Jiu before he turned around to see a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was carrying onto a wide saber and had a bow and arrows on his back. Based on the way he dressed and the animal hide at his waist, Di Jiu could guess that he was a hunter.

He could not understand what this hunter had said.

Di Jiu performed a few hand seals to show that he had been bitten by wild beasts.

Since this was not the Cultivation World, it was normal that he could not understand the language. After all, there was no language jade slip.

Generally speaking, the Cultivation World had language jade slips and realms of higher levels also had language arrays. As long as anyone entered the scope of Earth, they could learn the universal language of a planet from this array.

This hunter was very warm-hearted. Upon discovering that Di Jiu clearly did not need him to bind up his broken leg, he took out water and dried food before trying to take Di Jiu away from this place.

Since Di Jiu’s cultivation level had yet to be restored, food was already not essential to him. He refused the food but let the hunter lead the way.

After four hours, when the sky darkened, Di Jiu arrived with the hunter at a mountain village with more than 20 residents.

Perhaps, this mountain village had never had outsiders like Di Jiu come in. When the middle-aged hunter brought Di Jiu in, almost everyone living in the village came out.

Among the buzzing discussions and questions, Di Jiu also roughly understood the level of this mountain village. It should be a remote village that was adequately provided for. Although most people wore plain cotton clothes, many people wore animal hides.

The middle-aged hunter who had brought Di Jiu back was very enthusiastic about inviting Di Jiu to his home. Di Jiu naturally refused without hesitation. This hunter’s house was not big, and he had a wife and two children. Plus, he also hoped to live alone, which would be more helpful in restoring his strength.
