Ninth In the World

Ji Hongsen nodded his head. “That’s right. I knew there was an ancient array pattern underneath the Netherworld Corner Castle. However, even though we have seen it, we still need to decipher it.”

Ji Hongsen suddenly turned to Di Jiu. “Daoist Di, you have three Five-Element Array Flags and a powerful Array Dao. We’re counting on you to open this ancient array pattern.”

Apart from Di Jiu, the person with the lowest cultivation there was at the early-stage Primordial Chaos. A Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor naturally could see that this ancient array pattern was an entrance with one glance. However, it was not easy to open.

The best solution was to decipher this ancient array pattern. They would perish and their Dao would disappear if they were not careful and they turned into the Dao runes among the array pattern. Apart from that, the only solution was to attack it forcefully with a 50% success rate. If they were lucky, they would break the entrance of this array pattern. Otherwise, if they were unlucky, they’d naturally only dream about entering it.

“That’s right. Daoist Di has three Five-Element Flags and is superior in the Array Dao. He’s the most suitable person to decipher this array pattern,” said Fan Yuan.

“If you’re worried, I can also do it. Unfortunately, I don’t have the Five-Element Flags,” the Sea Clan’s Ma Jujia said this time.

They had half-intentionally surrounded Di Jiu. If Di Jiu did not make a move, they would definitely join forces and deal with him this time.

Ji Hongsen sneered deep down. He had called people to this place so that they could work together to break this array pattern. Di Jiu was courting death since he had allowed Tang Xitan to go and had even dared to reveal the Five-Element Flags.

All this aside, this kid had clearly escaped from Guang Mingzi and returned. He was simply fearless. Nobody had joined forces with him previously, but for the sake of everyone’s interests, they all needed to work with him.

Di Jiu nodded. “Everyone is right. This array pattern should be studied by me. Before I do that, I have two requests. First, since this array pattern is very complicated, nobody should disturb me while I’m studying it. Therefore, I’ll set up a Defense Array.”

Di Jiu replied calmly, “That’s right. I’m telling the truth. Since you guys won’t let me decipher, you can do it instead.”

Upon saying that, Di Jiu lifted his hand to sweep away his array flag and stepped out of the eight-trigram array pattern without bothering.

Several people had fixed their gazes on Ji Hongsen. They clearly were unsatisfied and they blamed him. Everyone was aware that Ji Hongsen wanted Di Jiu to throw his life away. However, the fact that Di Jiu had said that he had been about to open this array pattern was not a small matter.

If this array pattern was opened, everyone could go in. If they attacked it by force, it would very likely collapse, not just disturb the Chaos Green Lotus. Everyone would then end up with nothing.

As for whether Di Jiu had lied, everyone believed he would not dare. If he did, he would make everyone furious and they would work together to get rid of him.

Ji Hongsen’s expression turned ugly, and he had no choice but to say with cupped fists, “I was impulsive just now. I disturbed Daoist Di’s enlightenment. I hereby apologize to everyone.”

Fan Yuan told Di Jiu, “Daoist Di, Insular Lord Ji did not intentionally disturb you. Could you do it once more? What do you think?”

If Di Jiu once again failed to decipher it, he would not be able to blame them for being rude. At the same time, they would join forces to open this ancient array pattern entrance and would first kill Di Jiu.

Di Jiu said with a sigh, “I don’t mind doing it again. Unfortunately, I used a supreme-grade Dao meridian, a few high-grade Dao meridians, and some Primordial Dao fruits just now. If I do it again, I can’t use these things anymore.”

Everyone silently scolded Di Jiu for being shameless.

Ji Hongsen said coldly, “I have a high-grade Dao meridian here and two Primordial Dao fruits. I’ll offer them to contribute.”

He gave him these things but wondered if he even had a life left.

“That’s not enough.” Di Jiu chuckled. He was too lazy to even take those things from Ji Hongsen.
