Ninth In the World

“How do you know it so clearly?” Di Jiu looked at Zhou Bujian.

 Zhou Bujian laughed self-derisively. “This was not investigated by me. It was left behind by my ancestor. No matter how genius that Jiang Tian is, he is only a disciple. After he plotted against my ancestor, he was unaware that my ancestor left behind a hint of a soul imprint on the Heaven Earth Five-Direction Flags.

 Jiang Tian then planned to use the Five-Direction Flags to search for the Dharma treasure ensuring the light from providence would shine in every immortal continent of the Four Major Immortal Continents. My ancestor discovered what he planned to do, and this bastard actually wanted to strip away the light from providence shining in the Four Major Immortal Continents and form his own Dao World. Unfortunately, my ancestor was unable to stop his behavior.”

 “Do you know why the Heaven Earth Five-Direction Flag scattered afterward?” Di Jiu asked.

 Zhou Bujian nodded. “I know. What Jiang Tian did was so heaven-defying and despicable that he even wanted to take away the light from providence shining on the mother planet. Things backfired on him and a crack appeared in his Dao. After he realized he was going to perish, he left behind a son called Jiang Dai. His aptitude was even more heaven-defying than his father’s and he always made plans before taking any action. My ancestor’s soul imprint had already started disintegrating, so he knew he could no longer continue staying in the Five-Direction Flags to keep a close watch on Jiang Dai. Thus, his remnant soul memory returned to the cave abode he had left behind.

 I only discovered this when I used my own bloodline to obtain my ancestor’s remnants. The Square Immortal Continent entered a sunset state afterward, which I suspected was Jiang Dai’s doing. The White Cloud Bound Flag that appeared on Xiling Yuanyi made me suspect the Square Immortal Continent’s issues were not caused by Jiang Dai himself but were a lesson from his father. He would rather hand it over to a puppet to get it done. Xiling Yuanyi was also Jiang Dai’s puppet but he was killed by Daoist Di.”

 Di Jiu secretly nodded. Zhou Bujian’s guesses were completely right. He had not expected himself to be waiting for the fourth person who had already been killed by him. Now, he wondered which technique Jiang Dai had used to make these four people get things done for him.

 He had obtained the Green Lotus Flag from Ye Xi and it seemed like he had guessed correctly. Ye Xi was the one Jiang Dai had left in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent to gather the light shining from providence.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bujian continued speaking. “I couldn’t observe the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent and the Thunder Court Immortal Continent. All my attention was on the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Xiling Yuanyi. Fortunately, he was killed by Daoist Di, so I have the chance to continue perfecting my Sword Dao now.”

 “Brother Di, you mean that I have to condense a transparent sword heart on my own?” Zhou Bujian grew stern, as he very soon wanted to use the transparent sword heart left behind by his ancestor.

 Di Jiu nodded. “Daoist Zhou, if you don’t have to face Jiang Dai as your enemy, it’s fine to condense the sword heart in any way you want. However, with him as your enemy, you have to condense a sword heart of your own and not use your ancestor’s. I still want to enlighten you on another thing. The transparent sword heart is only a unanimous pursuit of the cultivators of the Sword Dao. You might also be able to condense an even stronger sword heart than the transparent sword heart in the future and walk out of your own Sword Dao.”

 Di Jiu did not say this without knowing what he was talking about. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and the more he understood the Heaven Earth Law and the more thorough it was, the more he felt he understood and realized that he knew too little. Jiang Tian was not a simple man. He was too terrifying to think of using the light from providence shining in the Four Major Immortal Continents to condense his own Dao World. He had also happened to condense the Ninth World and discover about the Dao World.

If Zhou Bujian could not condense his own powerful sword heart, he would only face death upon meeting Jiang Dai in the future.

 Zhou Bujian understood and bowed before Di Jiu for the third time. “Thank you, Brother Di. I understand.”

 Di Jiu took out a jade box and handed it to Zhou Bujian. “This is a Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit. You might be able to use this when you condense your sword heart later on. I’ll give this to you. I invited you to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City for this matter as well, so you don’t have to go over anymore.”

He was sure that Zhou Bujian did not entirely understand what he meant but he did not continue. Saying it on his own and allowing Zhou Bujian to be enlightened were two different things.

 Without his ancestor’s transparent sword heart, this Supreme Chasm Dao Fruit Di Jiu gave him was an indispensable treasure for Zhou Bujian. He could not reject such a thing. Thus, he hurriedly took it and expressed his gratitude.

 “Old Zhou, I have another reason for making you condense your own sword heart. I reckon that Jiang Dai will not let your family off. You can only condense your own sword heart so that you have the qualifications to face him. I’ll be leaving, but we shall see each other again.” Di Jiu then cupped his fists, stretched his body, and left.

 He had obtained the items from Dai He Hall and he needed to hurry back to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.
