Ninth In the World

That was the Golden Dao Law Di Jiu had possessed at the start, which had escaped because Di Jiu had taken the Universe Membrane fragment.

Di Jiu had absolutely no idea that the Golden Dao Law had escaped at the moment. However, even if he had known, he would have continued using the Universe Membrane fragment to attain nirvana.

Although it was true that the Golden Dao Law helped Di Jiu’s cultivation, the Dao Law remained in his consciousness without the intention of submitting itself to him. The two parties would cooperate if they matched well and split if they did not fit well. There was no need to cling onto each other.

The Universe Membrane fragment helped Di Jiu’s physical body undergo nirvana. Di Jiu’s body was destroyed by the Heavenly Fire Spirit before it recovered. Then, it was destroyed again and it recovered once more…

However, Di Jiu’s cultivation experience was too low and the Heavenly Fire Spirit was too powerful. Hence, Di Jiu’s physical body could not go through nirvana in time and broke down gradually despite the help of the Dao Fire and the Universe Membrane fragment.

The red Heavenly Fire Spirit covered Di Jiu’s body as the Dao Fire weakened gradually. Di Jiu felt even more desperate.

Unless someone dragged him out of the Heavenly Fire Spirit, he would be burned to ashes by the Heavenly Fire Spirit before his physical body could attain nirvana.

Mo Yuxuan kept looking at Di Jiu. She took a few steps forward subconsciously before she saw him being wrapped by the Heavenly Fire Spirit. She bore in mind what Di Jiu had told her: she should not come close as long as she could see him.

However, when Di Jiu’s body was torn apart slowly by the Heavenly Fire Spirit and started to become faintly discernible, as if it was about to melt, sorrow surged up in Mo Yuxuan’s heart.

Although Di Jiu could feel that aura, he did not want to be merciful. He sped up the refining speed instead of slowing down.

The Heavenly Fire Spirit could not resist, no matter how much it wanted to. It could only watch its core get refined and its Spirit Origin get engulfed by the Dao fire bit by bit.

Countless golden rays exploded from the black Dao fire after some time. The Heavenly Fire Spirit disappeared without a trace while the black Dao fire now had four more golden rays.

Di Jiu’s cultivation experience broke through the level-four Perfected Immortal Realm and reached level five at the same time.

There was a message from the Dao fire. Di Jiu could sort of guess that the Dao fire had produced the fire spirit. He should have been delighted, because his Dao fire would be a level-four immortal flame after it underwent nirvana and he attained the Nirvana Immortal Body and the level-five Perfected Immortal Realm.

However, Di Jiu was not happy at all. Instead, he dashed towards Mo Yuxuan.

Mo Yuxuan had been disfigured by the Heavenly Fire Spirit, so Di Jiu stuffed a few elixirs into her mouth.

Without the help of the immortal pill, Di Jiu could only keep Mo Yuxuan’s breathing even and prevent her from any further destruction, even though he was a grade-nine Elixir King.

“Junior Sister Mo, thank you for saving me. I will save you, no matter what,” Di Jiu murmured as he hugged Mo Yuxuan.

Mo Yuxuan twitched her hand, which only had a few bones left, as though she had heard Di Jiu’s words. “Senior Brother Di, you saved me first… I don’t think I can survive for long… Please bury me under the ruins of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect… I am unworthy. I did not listen to my master. I did not safeguard… the Cultivation World. Thank you for accepting me and keeping me by your side…”

If Di Jiu had not had a strong Spiritual Force, he would not have been able to hear Mo Yuxuan’s words. Mo Yuxuan went silent after she finished her words. Di Jiu knew that she had not passed away, as she still had some life force.

He carried Mo Yuxuan carefully and said with a firm tone, “I will definitely save you.”

Di Jiu would not give up, even though he knew how challenging it would be. Without Mo Yuxuan, he and the Dao fire would have been engulfed by the Heavenly Fire Spirit.

The Heavenly Fire Spirit had burned Mo Yuxuan’s Blood Essence and Principal Spirit, so saving her would not be simple. However, Di Jiu had made up his mind. He would save Mo Yuxuan even if the Starry Sky Immortal City was gone.

…

Yan Xiaosha bent down by the Sky Bamboo River and gazed at the germinating Sky Bamboo. His heart was filled with an ineffable sense of satisfaction, just like the Sky Bamboo.

He had felt the same way when he had first started cultivating. This felt like the moment he had left the Cultivation World and entered the Immortal World.

While the Dao runes swirled, Yan Xiaosha felt as if something in his body had been broken. His cultivation level slacked for a moment and then increased drastically.

Yan Xiaosha regained his Peak Immortal Lord status within half an hour. However, that was not all. His cultivation experience soon soared until he became a Perfected Immortal Lord.

Yan Xiaosha straightened his body and looked in the direction of the Sky Screen Pit. He wanted to tell City Lord Di Jiu that, from this moment onwards, he stood a chance to attain the great immortal realm. As long as he became a Great Unity Immortal, the Starry Sky Immortal City would have an additional layer of defense.

He had not dared to cultivate in the past because he had needed too much Immortal Spirit Qi, which could affect the Defense Arrays of the city. Although Di Jiu had not mentioned anything, Yan Xiaosha was still worried about the Defense Arrays of the city.

The Defense Arrays in the Starry Sky Immortal City were supported by the Spirit Qi of the Spirit Gathering Array and the Sky Bamboos. There was no immortal meridian at the bottom of the Starry Sky Immortal City.

An array flag on Yan Xiaosha’s wrist started vibrating suddenly. He immediately turned around quickly and dashed towards the city gate without hesitation.

Di Jiu had given him this array flag before leaving. This array flag controlled the Defense Arrays in the city, so it would only vibrate if the city was under attack.

Who had the audacity to attack the Starry Sky Immortal City?
