Ninth In the World

The Skygold Protectorate Lord had no plans to enter the Galaxy Sect. Huan Mingzi and Xian Ze had to head out of the sect and bow down before him personally. “Huan Mingzi would like to pay his respects to the Skygold Protectorate Lord.”

The Skygold Protectorate Lord smiled. “Both our surnames are Huan, but you are lagging behind a little. Given your gifts, you are indeed being limited by staying in the Small Central World. Why don’t you come to the Skygold Protectorate with me?”

Huan Mingzi cupped his fists again. “Thank you for believing in my abilities, Protectorate Lord, but I am already used to staying here.”

He was well aware of what the Skygold Protectorate Lord meant. Although he was very close to attaining the actual Domain Realm, he was the least respected person amongst the three Pavilion Lords of the Prophecy Pavilion. After all, everyone knew that he would never get the chance to attain the Domain Realm in his entire life.

His lifespan was almost up. He was currently weak in both Qi and blood, so even if he finally gained insight into the real Domain Realm, he wouldn’t have the ability to break into it.

Therefore, although there were three Pavilion Lords in the Prophecy Pavilion, only Huan Mingzi had to spend his time wandering outside and handling issues, while the First and Second Pavilion Lords got to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

“Chang Xiao from the Prophecy Island would like to pay his respects to the Skygold Protectorate Lord. I hope I am not too late,” said a coarse, bold voice before a man in gray clothes appeared.

When the Skygold Protectorate Lord saw the man, his eyes twinkled and he laughed. “Pavilion Lord Chang, I have not seen you in only a short time, yet you have already attained the fourth stage of the Domain Realm. Congratulations, congratulations…”

Although the Skygold Protectorate Lord was congratulating him, he was also very surprised at the same time. He was at the seventh-stage Domain Realm, so he knew that it was very difficult to advance through the stages of the Domain Realm. Chang Xiao had been stuck at the third-stage Domain Realm for many years, so he must have had an incredible encounter if he had been able to advance to the fourth stage so suddenly. It was particularly difficult to advance through the Domain Realm in the Small Central World. He was at the seventh-stage Domain Realm, so he naturally didn’t fear Chang Xiao. However, it was also quite impossible to overpower Chang Xiao.

“Extract it if you dare,” Di Jiu replied coldly.

Before Qin Ku could speak, Peng Yun said, “Elder Qin Ku, since this is something he picked up, go ahead and take it! Why stand on ceremony? I will lash out at whoever dares to move.”

As Qin Ku went over to extract the spirit meridian, Peng Yun kept staring at Di Jiu. If Di Jiu dared to strike, he wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

Huan Mingzi and Xian Ze’s faces turned green. They knew that if they dared to hinder Qin Ku, all hell would break loose. Even if they didn’t stop him, everybody else would make a move once the eight supreme-grade spirit meridians were extracted.

Di Jiu didn’t stop Qin Ku. He simply took out an array flag and sent it directly into the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A booming sound rippled through the sky as the whole space seemed to vibrate. The Skygold Protectorate Lord immediately stepped back a few thousand feet. So did Chang Xiao and the others. No matter how meticulously they permeated the area with their Spiritual Force, they could not find the source of the booming sound.

As this sound continued, the encampment of the Galaxy Sect became blurrier and blurrier. Suddenly, a continuous stream of Spiritual Aura mist appeared and the entire Galaxy Sect became invisible.

“This is a sect’s Defense Array?” exclaimed the Skygold Protectorate Lord, who had seen many things before. This was not just a simple sect Defense Array—it was a top-notch one. Nobody, not even someone from the True Dominion, could set up such a Defense Array.

Chang Xiao and the others were staring in awe at the Galaxy Sect, which became obscure as three big words appeared clearly in the sky—The Galaxy Sect… These three words had an aura as vast as several galaxies combined.

Then, Di Jiu said loudly, “Starting today, the Galaxy Sect will officially be known as the Galaxy Master Sect. I, Di Jiu, will assume the position of its first Sect Master temporarily. In the future, you will have to use your identification cards to enter and leave the sect. Anyone who attacks the sect will be considered our greatest enemy.”

“Okay, okay…” Huan Mingzi laughed out loud. He wasn’t as well-versed in the Array Dao as Di Jiu, but he could still feel the prowess of Di Jiu’s sect Defense Array. Once this Defense Array was activated, even a group of True Form experts would find it difficult to overcome it.

“Where is Genesis Sect Elder Qin Ku?” Peng Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong. When Di Jiu had activated the sect’s Defense Array, everyone had stepped backwards. Only Qin Ku, who had extracted the spirit meridians, was missing.

“Maybe your Sect Elder came across a huge pile of spirit meridians,” Di Jiu said coldly. “He will turn up soon. I didn’t expect that one could find spirit meridians at the doorstep of a sect. I heard that the Genesis Sect was a large sect. Maybe I should try searching one of these days and see if I come across any treasures…”

Suddenly, a bloody mist exploded from the Defense Array and Qin Ku’s tattered body was thrown out. His ring was already gone.

Peng Yun, Ao Huang and Yan Xuanxiang felt their scalps go numb. They had just seen Di Jiu activate the Galaxy Master Sect’s Defense Array. Within a short span of time, Qin Ku, a fifth-stage True Form expert, had already been reduced into a bloody mist. Even his soul had dispersed.

However, they hadn’t seen Di Jiu, Huan Mingzi or Xian Ze strike. They hadn’t witnessed any part of Qin Ku get killed either. How scary was this Defense Array?

If they had stayed in the Galaxy Master Sect instead of leaving, then when Di Jiu had activated the Galaxy Master Sect’s Defense Array, wouldn’t they have been…

They didn’t dare finish that thought.
