Ninth In the World

Di Jiu said helplessly, “What kind of cultivation technique are you using during your cultivation?”

“The Starry Demon Art. Do you want it? I will impart it to you…” As he spoke, Xie Huang took out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force to scan the jade slip, which indeed was the Starry Demon Art. He had originally wanted to wait till Xie Huang told him the name of the cultivation technique before asking Xie Huang if he could impart the technique to Di Jiu. He would immediately say that he could not impart his the moment Xie Huang said no.

However, although he had yet to say anything, Xie Huang had actively given him the Starry Demon Art. Why couldn’t Xie Huang be more cunning?

No matter how fearless Di Jiu was. he would not dare take Xie Huang’s Starry Demon Art. He would be seeking death if he did. Additionally, he would not be able to learn it even if Xie Huang did impart the cultivation technique to him. Furthermore, he felt that the Galaxy Art, or rather the Starry Sky Art, was good enough. There was no need for him to learn other cultivation techniques.

“Take it away. I will impart the refining method of the Starry Sky Tea to you.” Di Jiu could only return the Starry Demon Art to Xie Huang while agreeing to impart the other method to him.

He had long since come up with a Tea Art for refining the Starry Sky Tea. Di Jiu knew very well that Xie Huang would not be able to refine the true Starry Sky Tea even if the latter knew the refining method and the Tea Art.

This was because the understanding of the Foundational Orders was required as well. One also needed to possess the Creation Cauldron and Dao fire and to have cultivated the Starry Sky Art. Xie Huang possessed none of the above.

“Thank you so much, Big Brother.” Xie Huang stood up and rubbed his hands, his eyes shining with delight.

“Did you know that, when I was 10 years old, I was already at the Domain Realm? Following that incident, I frantically cultivated and attained the Immortal Lord Realm in a few years. After that, however, my sexual drive increased tremendously and I could not stop it. If this incident could be summed up as me playfully misusing my identity as the Starry Demon Palace’s Young Palatial Lord, then what happened afterward could be summed up as me getting completely lost in these acts.”

“Several hundreds of years had now passed. I could only rely on consuming elixirs to advance my cultivation from the Golden Immortal Realm to the early-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm, which is where no cultivation improvements could be made, no matter what. I am spending my days in the Starry Demon Palace lifelessly and uselessly while waiting for my death to come while having sexual intercourse. The reason I can come to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City is because Excellency Luan refined some elixirs for me that can barely repress my sexual desires.”

Di Jiu’s heart sank as he suddenly remembered that he had read about a spirit body known as the Desire Relegation Spirit Body in the Book of the World. This type of spirit body was extremely rare. It was present in less than one in 100 million. Furthermore, it could only be present in females.

Mo Yuxuan’s Nirmala Spirit Body, for example, was able to allow one’s cultivation to soar tremendously and have a top-notch aptitude. Although she appeared to be pure and celestial, the Desire Relegation Spirit Body could not be detected when one was below 16. The moment one became 16 years old, their sexual desire would explode immensely. A woman who possessed such a spirit body would become an extremely scary wench.

The only cure for this was to relegate this desire to someone else before this cultivator hit 16. The process of desire relegation was a very simple one. It involved giving up one’s virginity to a guy, who would have to accept this poison of desire on the day they turned 16. This poison was completely undetectable and would show its effect several years later.

It was evident that someone had plotted against Xie Huang. The culprit was not only his friend but also Yue He-er, whom he had raped.

The fact that Xie Huang was able to retain such a pleasant mental state, despite being plotted against by a woman who possessed a Desire Relegation Spirit Body, showed that he possessed a good temperament.

“Was Yue He-er 16 years old when you were with her?” asked Di Jiu out of the blue.

Xie Huang looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. “How did you know?”

This matter had concluded with the confinement of the wife of the Starry Demon Palace’s Palatial Lord. Hence, it was considered a taboo topic that had to be kept under wraps. How then did Di Jiu know about it?

Di Jiu sighed. “I suppose that, by now, you must know that you were being plotted against. The reason you could not cultivate perhaps could be related to this as well.”

“That is right. That best friend of mine had plotted against me. I did ponder over it carefully afterward. Some years had passed between the time when I could not cultivate and that incident. However, I guessed that these two matters were related,” said Xie Huang in a grave voice.

Di Jiu knew that Xie Huang still was unaware of who had plotted against him. However, Di Jiu guessed that it must have been the efforts of both his best friend and Yue He-er. Even Yue He-er’s father, Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty, had most likely had a hand in this as well.

“Did your father know about this matter?” asked Di Jiu.

Xie Huang shook his head. He had not dared to tell his father about this. He had been worried that it would incite another conversation between his father and Immortal Emperor Great Sovereignty. The first time this had happened, his mother had been locked up. Who knew what would happen if there was a second time?

Di Jiu chuckled as he walked over to Xie Huang and clapped him on the shoulders. “Your temperament is not bad. However, I could tell you resolutely that your father definitely knows that you were sabotaged by others and that you could not cultivate.”

Di Jiu was unsure as to whether Xie Huang’s father, Xie Wanling, knew that Xie Huang had been targeted by the Desire Relegation Spirit Body. After all, this type of spirit body was so rare that even Immortal Emperors might not know much about it.

However, Di Jiu was certain that Xie Huang’s feeling was accurate. Xie Wanling must surely have given up on Xie Huang and even had a new son. This meant that Xie Huang had lost his position as the Young Palatial Lord, and the true future Young Palatial Lord would be Xie Huang’s younger brother, who had the same father but a different mother.

“Big Brother, you know what happened to me?” Xie Huang finally reacted as Di Jiu’s words evidently revealed that he knew what had happened.

Xie Huang had never lied during this entire conversation, so Di Jiu did not lie to him either. He nodded his head and said, “That’s right. I know indeed.”
