Ninth In the World

Even though Di Jiu had the Lattice Spiritual Elixir, the numerous cultivators of the Thunder Court Immortal Continent were frantically using his Confinement Killing Immortal Array to kill the demon beasts in batches. Di Jiu felt his Spiritual Sea becoming more and more painful.

Despite how impressive the Lattice Spiritual Elixir was, it was only a restoration elixir and contained 30% poison. Thus, when Di Jiu refined the Lattice Spiritual Elixir, no matter how high the purification was, he would still be unable to avoid the slight toxicity of the Lattice Spiritual Elixir. Besides, the Lattice Spiritual Elixir was not an elixir pill meant to purely restore Spiritual Force. It could also strengthen the Spiritual Force as well as restore the Spiritual Sea.

The usage of such an elixir pill was not akin to one-time consumption. It was supposed to be used steadily over some time. If Di Jiu frantically swallowed the Lattice Spiritual Elixirs, he would not be able to take it, no matter how strong his Spiritual Sea was.

Crack! When a subtle light sound was heard from the Spiritual Sea, Di Jiu was startled. He could not allow it to go on even if the Thunder Court Immortal Continent was destroyed.

“Roar!” A mournful yell could be heard as Di Jiu felt his Spiritual Sea relax in an instant. Through his Confinement Killing Immortal Array, Di Jiu could see that only one top-notch immortal demon beast had been eliminated by Tie Beishan and a few others who had joined forces.

The beast group that was being confined by Di Jiu was killed when it went frenetic. The great demon who led them was now killed and the attacking pressure faced by Di Jiu’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array abruptly relaxed. He immediately came back to his senses.

At that moment, Di Jiu hurriedly used his Forging Spiritual Art to recover his Spiritual Sea. Half an hour later, the attack of the demon beasts was still not organized effectively. Meanwhile, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea was slowly recuperating.

Di Jiu was relieved. He could already distribute part of his energy and control the Primeval Thunder Rock to send thunder showers pouring down.

The destructive power of the thunder shower was really great. Back in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Di Jiu had relied on the Primeval Thunder Rock to scare off the Beast Tide and make the beasts retreat. Thus, now that many experts were helping, Di Jiu’s cultivation level rose to the late-stage Immortal Supremacy. After the pressure on the Spiritual Sea was relaxed, the Primeval Thunder Rock sent out terrifying thunder showers.

Large numbers of demon beasts were crushed and killed. As they became fewer and fewer, Di Jiu’s pressure also kept becoming lighter and lighter. Any cultivator would also know that the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Beast Tide should not pose a threat to them anymore.

He had been locked in a long battle with Li Lei because he had set up nomological array flags in advance as well as Confinement Killing Arrays. Otherwise, he reckoned he would not even have had the time to set up the Confinement Killing Array before being killed by Li Lei.

Before Tie Beishan could question him, Di Jiu said once again, “Li Lei was simply too formidable. After he was confined by my Confinement Killing Immortal Array, he could still attack me. I also gave it my all. When I was prepared to kill him after binding him, I didn’t expect him to self-explode…”

Di Jiu shook his head with a face full of regret.

How could he not feel regretful? How many quality items were in Li Lei’s ring? That was impossible.

All his things were also gone since he had self-exploded. How could this not be a pity?

Nobody would believe him if he told them that Li Lei’s ring had been left behind. Why would he give his ring to his enemy when he had been about to self-explode?

Tie Beishan, who had not expected this outcome, felt some disbelief. What could he do even if he did not believe this? Moreover, he could not find any loopholes in Di Jiu’s words except that Li Lei’s self-explosion had been a bit weaker. This could be understood as well. Di Jiu could have covered up Li Lei’s self-explosion aura with his strong Array Dao.

Di Jiu patted Black Fire beside him and told Qu Hen and Chen Zishun, who were riddled with scars, “Guild Master Qu, Guild Master Chen, let’s return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, shall we?”

“Brother Di, there is a problem with the Teleportation Array right now…” the Righteous Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Fu Xueling, said hurriedly.

Di Jiu then recalled that there was no Teleportation Array in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent.

When Di Jiu saw everyone looking at him, he could only say, “My friend Zhong Ao left from the Two-Realm Valley back then. I intend to leave through that place this time as well.”

“However, the Two-Realm Valley is a passage that leads to the other realm. If you really leave by going there, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City,” a scholarly middle-aged man told him. Di Jiu knew that he was the Demonic Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, Qu Zeng.

Thus, he could only sigh. “If I don’t leave through the Two-Realm Valley now, I won’t have any other options. I don’t know when the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Teleportation Array will be repaired. If I do not return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, please bring a message to the Peace Hotel on my behalf if anyone goes there.”

The Teleportation Array that led from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was not easy to repair. It required some nearly extinct treasures, such as segmented soil.

Di Jiu had made up his mind to leave, so the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s cultivators could only come over to bid him farewell. Many sects needed to rebuild after the Beast Tide, while Di Jiu was leaving through the Two-Realm Valley. Thus, nobody saw him off.

…

“Protector Di, I know the Two-Realm Valley. If we leave through there, we certainly will be unable to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I have a Plane Rift Talisman and a grade-nine peak immortal talisman. If we get separated, use this talisman and you could perhaps return,” Qu Hen told Di Jiu when they were separated from the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s cultivators.

Di Jiu was pondering how to explain that he might have the Thunder Court Immortal Continent’s Defense Array flags when he heard Qu Hen’s words. He was immediately pleasantly surprised. “Guild Master Qu, do you really have the Plane Rift Talisman? I have a great use for that.”

Ever since he had become an Immortal King, Di Jiu had wanted to make a trip back to Earth countless times, but his strength had been too weak.

He only had one goal: to go to Wang Chuan Temple in the Wang Chuan mountain range. There was a Reincarnation Bridge under that temple, and he was increasingly certain that this Reincarnation Bridge was the most powerful offensive treasure in the universe. How could he let such a treasure slip by? Moreover, he could return to have a look at the Small Central World by using his strength after leaving Earth.
