Chapter 463 - Unforeseen Events
After the Teleportation Array was activated, Di Jiu was enveloped by the white flare and sent away. At the same time, he felt that something was not right.
Theoretically, he would not be squashed and torn apart by space from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to the Square Immortal Continent. However, he was being unceasingly squashed by space.
If he had not had an Immortal Divine Body, he would have been seriously injured.
Di Jiu had taken the Teleportation Array from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent. Such a terrifying spatial fluctuation should definitely not appear.
Bang! A powerful force threw him onto the floor.
Despite Di Jiu’s Immortal Divine Body, some of his bones were broken.
Fortunately, he had a tough body, so after one Qi Circulation, he did not need any elixir pills to recover.
He was in a desolate place without any signs of human habitation. There was only a desolate, declining killing aura around.
Di Jiu’s heart sank. He knew why he had fallen from space. It was because the Teleportation Array foundation of the Square Immortal Continent had been torn. Therefore, when he’d moved over from the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, a fixed teleportation had become a random space teleportation.
“Ah…” Qu Tong cried out and then asked urgently, “City Lord, the treasure which ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World has been snatched away?”
He was the one who had discovered Sky Bamboo River and witnessed Di Jiu establish the Starry Sky Immortal City with his own eyes. He had even helped establish it. He longed more than anyone for the Starry Sky Immortal City to prosper, bringing along the light from providence in the Immortal World to restore it once again. However, the treasure that had ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World had once again been snatched away. Heaven simply wanted to destroy the Immortal World.
It was no wonder that after the Immortal World’s light from providence had gathered to a certain extent, he had sensed that it had stopped and started thinning.
Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “You don’t have to worry. I had two array flags to ensure the light from providence will shine. However, one of them was snatched away and there is one left here. Let’s return to the city first.”
“Yes.” Qu Tong was relieved when he heard that there was still one array flag.
He then started narrating the Starry Sky Immortal City’s unforeseen events. After the Starry Sky Immortal City had been established, it had been very prosperous in the first few years, even when Di Jiu had left. Many cultivators had broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm and some had even reached the Immortal King Realm.
However, good things did not last forever. An expert had occupied the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City by force. If it had not been for Jing Luowen’s quick reflexes, which had helped him activate the Defense Arrays without delay, the Starry Sky Immortal City would have been occupied.
“How formidable was the person who occupied the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City?” Di Jiu asked, even though he had guessed that this person must have been an Immortal Supremacy. Otherwise, he would not have dared to make a move when there were a few Immortal Kings and late-stage Immortal Kings like Lu Xikun in the Starry Sky Immortal City.
Qu Tong said solemnly, “The person who occupied the Starry Sky Immortal City was only a late-stage Immortal King. However, Sect Master Lu said that the person who blasted the auxiliary city’s Defense Array was an Immortal Emperor and a very formidable one at that. We were confused because the Immortal Emperor blasted the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City, but he did not attack the Starry Sky Immortal City. Instead, he handed the auxiliary city to that Immortal King and left.”
Di Jiu knew very well that this Immortal Emperor had not simply left. He had taken his Seven-Star Aqua Flag away.
He had killed Immortal Emperors before, no matter how formidable they were, and taken his Seven-Star Aqua Flag away. They had to die. However, why had that Immortal Emperor not taken the Floating Flame Flag instead of the Seven-Star Aqua Flag? This was indeed hard to explain. Besides, if one wanted to enter reclusive cultivation somewhere, which place could be better than the Starry Sky Immortal City? This city was the place of origin of the Immortal World’s new light from providence. He did not believe that an Immortal Emperor could not tell this much about the Starry Sky Immortal City.
There was definitely something wrong about this, but what?
Qu Tong added, “After becoming aware that an Immortal Emperor was coveting the Starry Sky Immortal City, we were all desperate. Sect Master Jing decided to leave from the Thunderous Floating Island to find you. He said that if we wanted to restore the Immortal World, there was nobody besides the City Lord that could do it. Sect Master Lu told Sect Master Jing not to go and that the Starry Sky Immortal City needed him. He took the initiative to head to the Thunderous Floating Island to find you…”
“I understand.” Di Jiu brought Qu Tong along and entered the Starry Sky Immortal City from another array door. Nobody had made a move in the auxiliary city.
Di Jiu was somewhat astonished. According to his theory, somebody had already known that Qu Tong was conveying information outside and allowed it. Since Qu Tong had found him and entered the Starry Sky Immortal City, the other party should be stopping them soon.
…
“The City Lord has returned,” Once Di Jiu entered the Starry Sky Immortal City, Yan Xiaosha rushed out and shouted in excitement.
Then, Virtuous Nirvana Sect Master Jing Luowen, Bei Chutai, Liu Yuxin, Tan Mo and the others rushed out one after another.
Di Jiu was very happy. Even though the Immortal World’s light from providence restoration had been halted because of his set-up before he had left, the Starry Sky Immortal City was like an iron tube right now. Its law implementation was very good. Even though many people had joined the Starry Sky Immortal City all these years, there were not any disturbances.
“City Lord, how is Yuxuan?” Jing Luowen immediately asked while trembling. In her eyes, Mo Yuxuan was the only hope of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.
“Yuxuan is fine. Thank you, Sect Master Jing, for your hard work in the Starry Sky Immortal City all these years.” Di Jiu did not explain about Yan Hui. The Starry Sky Immortal City was not exactly the same as when he had left. It needed some improvements. Actually, Di Jiu knew very well that the Starry Sky Immortal City was now ready to fail and break at any moment.
He did not understand why that Immortal Emperor had not come, but he had to upgrade the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Confinement Killing Array into a level-nine Immortal Array before that Immortal Emperor arrived.
Otherwise, no matter how capable Di Jiu was, they could only await death.
“I need to upgrade the Immortal City’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array now. Everyone, be prepared. There might be a huge battle.” Di Jiu stated clearly what they would do next without delay.
When he was not around, even though Lu Xikun, Jing Luowen, and Tan Mo were there, Di Jiu was still the City Lord and the backbone of the city.
Now that Di Jiu was back, everyone felt much more at ease.
Di Jiu had been originally a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor, and the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Defense Arrays had been set up by him. It took him two days to upgrade all the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Defense Arrays and Confinement Killing Arrays into level-nine Immortal Arrays.
After he was done with these, he went to Sky Bamboo River’s array core. He believed that the reason why that Immortal Emperor had not made a move was largely related to the array core that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World.
