Ninth In the World

Di Jiu considered numerous methods, including using the Spiritual Force escape technique, using the Dao fire to pave a way, and using a Defense Array to force his way through…

However, Di Jiu did not feel that any of these methods was safe. Even though the fire-element position was extremely weak, he was still incapable of entering this Dao-Sealing Array.

“Black Fire…” Di Jiu returned to the flying shuttle and discovered that Xie Huang had come out of his seclusion and was standing together with Black Fire.

“Big Brother, where is this place?” Xie Huang had just come out, so he had yet to have the chance to ask Black Fire what was going on.

Di Jiu pointed to the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array in front and said, “There is something I need inside it. I will bring Black Fire with me later to enter the array. If anything happens to me and Black Fire, take Junior Sister Yuxuan and Little Tree away from here immediately.”

Di Jiu did not ask Xie Huang to help him purchase the Agama True Glazed Water. After all, if he was to meet his doom here, Xie Huang would not be able to help with anything. Thus, it would be meaningless to speak of this matter.

“Big Brother, my strength is greater than Black Fire’s. I will accompany you instead,” said Xie Huang without hesitation as he slapped himself on the chest.

Di Jiu waved his hand. “You’re useless. It must be Black Fire.”

“Move aside. You can’t match my capabilities.” Black Fire landed on Di Jiu’s shoulder without hesitation.

He was already inside the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array and was standing at the fire-element position. However, he was still worried that this position would explode suddenly and attack him.

The Golden Dao Law emitted joy when it sensed that Di Jiu had entered the array.

Di Jiu was looking at the Dao fire in surprise. It seemed to be more active than Black Fire, which was surrounded by the fire origin aura. It also seemed to be on the brink of an upgrade.

Di Jiu, who was delighted, felt comfortable checking on the Golden Dao Law.

The Golden Dao Law was covered with a dense layer of engravings of various colors. With each struggle the Golden Dao Law made, these engravings would flare up brightly and tighten further.

There was a broken stone fragment carrying a familiar aura several hundred feet away from the Golden Dao Law.

Di Jiu understood why the Golden Dao Law had been successfully lured into the array the moment his gaze landed on this broken stone fragment. He had possessed such a stone fragment once. It was the Universe Membrane fragment.

Without a doubt, the person who had set up this Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array was extremely familiar with what the Golden Dao Law liked. Di Jiu lamented, as he felt some respect for this person. After all, the items here were all top-notch treasures of the universe.

If this had been any other place, Di Jiu would have taken hold of that broken Universe Membrane fragment immediately. However, he did not dare do such a thing now.

He was currently standing within the Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array. He was qualified to be here only because someone had either taken away the Fire Origin Pearl or the pearl had left on its own accord. Had this Five-Element Dao-Sealing Array been complete, he would not have dared to enter, even if his strength had been 1,000 times greater than his current strength.

The Fire Origin Pearl might have disappeared, but the origin aura at the four other positions remained. He would most likely have the same fate as the Golden Dao Law, which was bound by the multi-colored engravings, if he left that position.

By using his Spiritual Force, he attempted to open the engravings binding the Golden Dao Law. His expression turned ugly the moment his Spiritual Force came into contact with them.

Even if his Array Dao increased to level ten, he would not be able to unlock the engravings, let alone now that he was a mere level-seven Immortal Array Dao practitioner.

“I’m sorry, I’m truly unable to help you,” said Di Jiu helplessly as he looked at the Golden Dao Law. Other than being unable to help the Golden Dao Law, he was also unable to take away any of the treasures around.

The reason was simple: His strength was trash.

The Golden Dao Law sent a message anxiously, stating that it could help Di Jiu improve his Array Dao.

Indeed, following the transmission of this message, the Golden Dao Law exuded its aura. Numerous Foundation Order Dao runes permeated Di Jiu’s intent. Di Jiu’s insight into the Array Dao soared rapidly before he had any chance to speak.

Di Jiu sighed. He had originally wanted to inform the Golden Dao Law that he would not be able to open these Dao engravings of various colors, even if his Array Dao reached the level of a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor.

However, he did not stand on ceremony now that the Golden Dao Law was wholeheartedly helping him upgrade his insight into the Array Dao laws. He might not be capable of saving the Golden Dao Law from its predicament, but he had gone there to help.

For the first time ever, Di Jiu’s understanding of the Array Dao soared drastically. One after another, various array formation hand seals appeared out of the blue on his palm as he gained insight into the different fundamental Array Dao laws.

He was completely immersed in the joy of being in such a state.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye. The Dao fire, which was helping Di Jiu block the fire-element position, suddenly exploded, turning into a 1,000-feet-tall black flame. The small speck of blue flare within the flame had completely disappeared.

Di Jiu remained unaware that his Dao fire, the Luminous Starry Sky, had upgraded and become a level-seven immortal flame. He was utterly immersed and enveloped within that mysterious, esoteric Array Dao law.

Black Fire’s body also started to change and a red sharp horn grew out of the red part of its head. His four limbs grew thicker and his claws turned sharper. His body remained shaped like a ball, but it had grown and become two-feet tall.

Boom! When the number and type of Array Dao laws gathered reached the limit, Di Jiu’s Array Dao immediately soared to attain the standards of a level-eight Array Supremacy.

The aura of the Array Dao Foundation Orders, which was surging into Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea, disappeared without a trace. Di Jiu was aware that the Golden Dao Law was stopping him from continuing such a meaningless act. It must have reached the realization that he would still be unable to save it even if he became a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor.

However, Di Jiu had a better idea. When he looked behind him and saw the level-seven Dao fire and Black Fire, who had reached level five and grown tremendously in size, he could not believe his eyes. The blue flame floating above Black Fire’s head had also become a level-five immortal flame.

This place was far too nutritious.

Di Jiu instantly came to a realization. He hastily took out the Void Gray Flame and threw it beside the Dao fire. “Don’t consume the Void Gray Flame. Help it upgrade by some levels instead.”

Di Jiu had obtained the Void Gray Flame, a level-four immortal flame, while he had been searching for the Heavenly Fire Spirit in the Sky Screen Pit. This flame was inferior to his Dao fire, but it was still considered an extremely rare treasure in the galaxy. Therefore, to this date, Di Jiu had not been able to bear to let his Dao fire consume it.
