Ninth In the World

Ling Xiaoshuang went forward and gently embraced Tang Beiwei. “Yes, I didn’t expect to meet you here either. The universe is very big yet very small.”

“Senior Sister Xiaoshuang, your qualifications are much better than mine, and I’m getting worse than you.” When Tang Beiwei saw Ling Xiaoshuang walking with Di Jiu and could not see Ling Xiaoshuang’s strength, she immediately knew that her cultivation level was much weaker than hers.

Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly. “Beiwei, my qualifications are no better than yours, in fact. However, my master told me that if I want to get out of this world, I can’t just rely on seclusion. Many things can’t be solved by seclusion, let alone cultivation levels. Especially when your cultivation level is getting higher and higher, you have to go out. Although I might perish outside, cultivation is actually a kind of improvement. Many things can’t be understood without going through life and death.”

Ling Xiaoshuang said those things with deep emotion. In fact, she knew very well that Tang Beiwei had gone to the Immortal World earlier than her. Later on, her cultivation speed got faster and faster and even surpassed Tang Beiwei’s speed, not because her qualifications were better than Tang Beiwei’s but because she had gone into the void alone.

In the void of the universe, she had obtained too many opportunities and escaped from the verge of death countless times. Only after realizing these things did she reach the Primordial Chaos. In the Chaos Realm, she later obtained another chance and advanced to Dao Integration.

Of course, just like she had mentioned, if Di Jiu had not helped them, she would have perished without a doubt.

Tang Beiwei was also a bit agonized. When she had been in the Cultivation World, she had always tried to enter seclusion in order to raise her cultivation level. In the end, she had really caught up and become one of the first few people to ascend to the Immortal World. After arriving in the Immortal World, her cultivation had skyrocketed with the help of her elder brother.

However, after she’d reached the Sacred Dao World and her elder brother had gone to the void, her cultivation level had slowed down. In the end, she had entered seclusion again after hearing that her elder brother was going to join the life-and-death war. When she had reached the Primordial Chaos Realm and come out of seclusion, she had not known his whereabouts.

The year-round seclusion made Tang Beiwei understand Ling Xiaoshuang’s words now. The higher her cultivation level was, the less effective the seclusion was.

Naturally, Di Jiu would not let Tang Beiwei say what she could hide in her Spiritual Sea.

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Yi Shu suddenly knelt to the ground. “Big Brother Di, I really need your help with something.”

“Say it.” Di Jiu nodded and left a good impression on her.

Yi Shu explained in a trembling voice, “I didn’t dare mention that Sister Beiwei asked me for help at first. Later, I saw Big Brother Di easily crush the Heavenly Lord. I think Brother Di may be able to help me…”

Di Jiu did not care about her words. Even an ordinary cultivator would not dare say that. Who would dare offend the Dao Integration Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond and a bunch of half-step Dao Integration and Primordial Chaos cultivators?

“Yes,” Yi Shu hurriedly responded. “I’m actually from the Heavenly Union Planet…”

“The Heavenly Union Planet? Is that the one Nie Baichi mentioned? The place where the Nie Family and the experts of Heaven’s Beyond went to?” Di Jiu immediately asked, interrupting Yi Shu.

Yi Shu nodded strongly. “Yes, Big Brother Di. My father’s name is Yi Sa, and he is the Planet Master of the Heavenly Union Planet. My mother’s name is Shu You. They became friends with Dao Lord Ning and even joined the Creation War with him…”

“The Creation War? Is that the war you mentioned before?” Di Jiu looked at Ling Xiaoshuang and Tang Beiwei.

Tang Beiwei was not very sure. Ever since she had come out of seclusion, she’d only known that her elder brother had never returned after a war.

Ling Xiaoshuang nodded her head. “Yes, that war is also called the Creation War. Rumor has it that all Dao Integration cultivators had to join it. Even if they didn’t, they were swept into the war. As a result, there were no third-step cultivators after the Creation War. Even if there were, they were all Dao Integration cultivators.”

“Carry on.” Di Jiu grew solemn. He was familiar with the name Dao Lord Ning, as he had heard it many times. Since Yi Shu’s parents had become friends with Dao Lord Ning, they did not seem like they could be trifled with.

Yi Shu rubbed her eyes and added, “Senior Dao Lord Ning was very prestigious in Heaven’s Beyond. Before the Creation War, many territories of Heaven’s Beyond had belonged to him. After my parents went to the war with him, he also brought us to Heaven’s Beyond and let us live in the best place. However, after the war, I never saw my parents again. Heaven’s Beyond is no longer the same. I have almost no chance of survival here, so I want to go back to the Heavenly Union Planet…”

Yi Shu wanted to find her parents, but she was suppressed in the corner of Heaven’s Beyond. Improving her cultivation level was simply a dream for her.

Di Jiu understood what Yi Shu was thinking and asked, “Do you know why the experts of Heaven’s Beyond went to the Heavenly Union Planet?”

Yi Shu answered, “For the sake of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.”
