Ninth In the World

Di Jiu opened his eyes and leaped up in excitement.

The glimmering Dao runes that surrounded the pearl in his Spiritual Sea had completely disappeared at the moment. This meant that the world of this pearl had already completed its primary birth and was going to be his only world.

This world was condensed under his Dao law after the Ninth Dao Law and the Sacred Yin Pearl disintegrated. It should be called…

Di Jiu intended to call this world the Ninth Sacred Yin World, but the name was a bit long. It would be better to call it the Ninth World.

The Ninth World was not his only pleasant surprise, as his Spiritual Sea had also been restored. It couldn’t be considered completely restored, but his Spiritual Sea had turned into the Starry Sky Spiritual Sea. This was definitely related to his cultivation techniques.

His cultivation techniques had nothing to do with the Ninth Dao Law anymore and they formed the Starry Sky Nomological Qi Circulation with the Starry Sky Art.

Besides his Ninth World, in his Starry Sky Spiritual Sea was the Luminous Starry Sky Dao fire as well as the Book of the World. The only pity was that his Primeval Thunder Rock was missing. He did not know which void it had been left in.

Di Xiangnu was not at home. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already scanned the area and found her buying things at the city.

Di Jiu did not withdraw his Spiritual Force. Instead, he extended it even further. Very soon, his Spiritual Force covered the entire Big Deep Planet.

However, Di Jiu was very disappointed, as he did not find Nong Xiuqi.

“Thank you, Yumo.” Ah Xi spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and his voice was somewhat weak.

Yan Yumo took a porcelain bottle from her waist and poured some medicinal powder onto Ah Xi’s wounds. She then said in a low voice, “Ah Xi, we can’t stay here any longer. There were 100 people just now, but I saw no more than 40 people come up. We’re already really lucky to be alive after a few times. We might lose our lives here if there is a next time. We won’t obtain any treasures.”

Ah Xi nodded. “Let’s go. Even if we break open the door at the bottom of the lake, there will not be much left after dividing it between so many people.”

“Yes.” Yan Yumo made a sound of acknowledgment. She then supported Ah Xi and turned to leave.

“Stop.” A tough-looking man stood in Yan Yumo’s way.

Yan Yumo hurriedly told him, “My Senior Brother is injured. We will give up contesting over the treasure this time.”

This man said faintly, “You won’t be able to withdraw since you have joined in. If everyone acts like you, the entire Big Deep Planet might very soon be aware of the treasure here.”

“But we don’t have any more strength to get into the lake.” Yan Yumo’s heart sank, as she felt that something was wrong.

The man laughed out loud. “Don’t worry. There are a few hundred people in front of you, so it will be long before your turn. Both of you will already have rested for a long time.”

Ah Xi saw that Yan Yumo wanted to speak again and promptly told her, “Yumo, let’s sit aside and rest.”

He had already seen at least dozens of corpses piled in a distant place. They had obvious wounds and had certainly not died in the lake. They had been killed while trying to get out forcefully like them.

Yan Yumo also saw that and trembled inside, not daring to say anything. She only picked up Ah Xi and once again carefully walked somewhere not far from the side of the lake.

“Ah Xi, what do we do?” Yan Yumo somewhat regretted this. She should not have come here with Ah Xi.

“I’ll recuperate first and recover my strength as quickly as possible,” Ah Xi said with a sigh. He knew very well that it would be a dead-end even if he was in a good condition, let alone if he was seriously injured.

They would be given a share of the treasure after breaking the door? Yeah, right. It would probably be time for them to be killed then.

“How come Xiangnu is here?” Yumo stood up anxiously, not wanting her to come in.

However, in this short time, Di Xiangnu had already rushed in.

There was no way out of here, but solitary warriors and low-level cultivators were not stopped from coming in.

“Big Brother Ah Xi, Elder Sister Yumo, the two of you are really here. I’ve asked many people and they said most of the people who came here… Big Brother Ah Xi, what happened to you?” Xiangnu, who rushed forth, had already seen that he was seriously injured.

Yan Yumo hurriedly said, “Xiangnu, how come you’re here? Hurry…”

Yan Yumo swallowed back her words. Could she still leave now that she was here?

“What’s wrong?” Di Xiangnu asked doubtfully.

“They’re catching laborers here and making them go in the lake to attack some historical ruins. They said they would share the treasure. I reckon they’re only letting them throw their lives away. Look at how many people have died…” Yan Yumo secretly pointed to the corpses piled up by the side of the lake.

“Ah…” Di Xiangnu exclaimed in surprise and immediately cried out, “Was Big Brother Ah Xi also injured at the bottom of the lake?”

Ah Xi sighed. “Yes…”

He thought of Xiangnu going into the lake immediately and felt somewhat helpless. He could not save her, let alone save himself.

Di Xiangnu hurriedly said, “Let’s hurry up and leave then.”

Before Yan Yumo could say anything, an ice-cold voice said from a distance, “Since you’ve just arrived, you’re up next.”

It was the brown-robed man standing on that huge rock who had been arranging for people to go in the lake previously.

Di Xiangnu reacted and hurriedly told him, “I’m not going down. I don’t need a share of the treasure.”

“How dare you retort after Elder Fu’s words! You’re courting death…” An eagle-eyed man standing at the side of the brown-robed man snorted. His Ghost Head Large Saber hacked toward one of Di Xiangnu’s arms.

Di Xiangnu hurriedly stepped aside and the saber produced a cold wind that lifted her sideburns.

“How dare you step aside!” The ruthless aura around the eagle-eyed man increased sharply and his Ghost Head Saber swept up numerous saber shadows that enveloped Di Xiangnu. He wanted her life now, not just her arm.

A deadly aura could be sensed. Di Xiangnu drew her scimitar without the slightest hesitation and swished several moves out.

Grandfather had said before that if anyone wanted her life, she just had to attack back without any consideration.

Her skills had been accumulated through battle experience, and she believed she could block the few saber shadows of the eagle-eyed man.

“Pfft!” The eagle-eyed man was hacked into two by Di Xiangnu’s Saber Qi.

Silence filled the surrounding area. Even Ah Xi and Yan Yumo stared blankly at Di Xiangnu. When had she become so formidable?

Di Xiangnu also looked at her scimitar in a daze. When had she become so formidable?
