Ninth In the World

As he was walking into the sect’s encampment, Xiao Wu suddenly stopped before he entered the cave abode.

Gai Shu, who had been walking beside him, also stopped walking and asked in confusion, “What is the matter, Sect Master?”

Xiao Wu frowned. He had a bad premonition. “Elder Gai, I feel uneasy all of a sudden.”

Gai Shu nodded his head. “The Mirage Sword Sect will indeed not be able to regain peace unless Di Jiu is killed. That man has dared to even plot against the sect master of the Genesis Sect. It is evident how bold he is. However, this is the Small Central Planet. He won’t dare use any underhanded methods here.”

“Oh no!” Xiao Wu finally realized what the cause of his uneasiness was when he heard Gai Shu say that Di Jiu had plotted against the Genesis Sect Master.

Di Jiu had dared kill the Genesis Sect Master, Shu Haolan. Why would Di Jiu not dare kill him? Xiao Wu refused to believe that he would not.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Wu spat out before Gai Shu could react. Then, he rushed out of the encampment with a flash of his figure.

A terrifying aura swamped over. Gai Shu, who had also understood what was going on, followed Xiao Wu, who was about to rush out of the encampment. However, he was one step too late. He had only taken one step in that location when a violent, suffocating killing aura engulfed him. He had no choice but to swiftly retreat.

Gai Shu’s heart sank when he realized that this was a level-nine confinement array. He finally understood why Xiao Wu had said that he was feeling uneasy. Di Jiu was truly fearless. He had dared set up a level-nine confinement array on the Small Central Planet Square to imprison the Mirage Sword Sect’s encampment area! Fortunately, Sect Master Xiao Wu had already left the venue. So long as Sect Master Xiao left this place, Di Jiu would be chased relentlessly by the Mirage Sword Sect.

Di Jiu was very sensitive to Thunder Tribulation, for he could absorb the Thunder Origin for cultivating purposes. He knew that this was the Thunder Tribulation of the Essence Soul Realm Cultivation the moment he came into contact with it.

It seemed like Di Di’s potential was really powerful and Huan Mingzi had provided her with sufficient cultivating resources. As a result, Di Di had experienced the Essence Soul Thunder Tribulation in a short time.

Di Di and Tian Ku did not know how to set up Dharma Arrays. Therefore, the Tribulation Transcendence had occurred out in the open. Such a Tribulation Transcendence would certainly attract someone’s attention.

Di Jiu forced himself to calm down, as he did not sense Di Di’s or Tian Ku’s death aura there. This implied that the two of them were fine at the moment. Huan Mingzi had probably not expected that Di Jiu would experience the Essence Soul Tribulation Transcendence in such a short time.

Who would take Di Di and Uncle Tian away when she was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence? The Vast Tinted Ocean was boundless, and the same applied to the number of powers there.

Di Jiu suddenly thought of two words: Prophecy Island.

The strongest power of the Vast Tinted Ocean would naturally be the Prophecy Pavilion, which was stationed on the Prophecy Island. In the past, he had also considered heading to the Prophecy Island to escape his enemies. The Prophecy Pavilion, which was located on the Prophecy Island, was a ten-star sect. This meant that even the five large sects would not dare do anything once he reached the island.

Di Di and Uncle Tian had been originally cultivating on the Prophecy Island. However, when the relationship between Huan Mingzi and the Prophecy Pavilion had gone sour, he’d had to leave. Huan Mingzi had also had to bring Uncle Tian and Di Di along. The Prophecy Pavilion naturally knew that Huan Mingzi and these two were close. Perhaps the sect was already on the Vast Tinted Ocean, searching for Di Di and Uncle Tian. However, the restriction on the Reed Island was hidden too well and had hence not been discovered.

The two of them would thus be exposed once Di Di started to undergo Tribulation Transcendence.

When he thought of this, Di Jiu rushed towards the Prophecy Island without hesitation.

He did not care that the Prophecy Pavilion was a ten-star sect. He would not be courteous with anyone who dared capture Di Di.

Di Jiu had a level-eleven Spiritual Force. Therefore, it did not take him long to appear outside the Prophecy Island when he executed the Spiritual Force escape technique.

The Defense Array of the Prophecy Island was a peak level-nine Defense Array. Di Jiu had encountered this Defense Array before. It was called the Thousand-Device Sealing Spirit Array and could gather Spirit Qi and also be used for defense.

The security on the island was very tight. There were at least two aura fluctuations that were extremely strong, both of them even stronger than Huan Mingzi’s.

Di Jiu would not simply do nothing just because he was afraid of the powerfulness of the Prophecy Island. His Spiritual Force permeated the island without hesitation. The fact that his Spiritual Force was akin to being at level eleven, combined with Di Jiu’s understanding of Array Dao restrictions, meant that his Spiritual Force permeated numerous concealment restrictions of the Prophecy Island. At the moment, the Prophecy Island was completely exposed to Di Jiu.

Half an hour later, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on a commercial building. Di Di and Tian Ku were imprisoned in the basement of this commercial building, completely unharmed.

Di Di’s cultivation level was indeed at the first-stage Essence Soul Realm, while Tian Ku was at the early-stage Golden Core Realm. Tian Ku’s potential was not great. If Di Jiu had not helped him open up the galaxy meridian, he would most likely still have been at the Qi Refinement Realm.

Di Jiu’s fury dampened a little when he saw that Di Di and Tian Ku had not suffered much. He followed the crowd into the Prophecy Island. Before anyone could check his identity, he had already entered the commercial building. If the Defense Array was unable to affect Di Jiu, a True Form Realm Cultivator might not even sense him if he tried to remain invisible by using his level-eleven Spiritual Force. The ordinary guards would definitely not sense him.

Most people would have found the level-seven restriction of the commercial building very powerful. However, to Di Jiu, it was akin to an open door.

“Ah Jiu, why are you being captured as well?” Di Jiu stood up in alarm, unsure of what to do, when she saw Di Jiu walking in.

Di Jiu smiled. “Does it seem like I was captured, Di Di?”

…

In the guest room at the upper level of the Prophecy Pavilion, a slightly plump, middle-aged man was standing in a bowed position in front of a young cultivator. His attitude was respectful and humble.

Meanwhile, the young man’s finger was tapping repeatedly on the tabletop. “Are you certain that Di Di possesses the Sacred Spirit Eyes and the Heaven Spirit Root?” he asked after a long while.

“I’m certain. I could swear that such a genius would not appear even in 100,000 years. The True Dominion would definitely go mad if they knew that such a genius existed,” said the middle-aged man resolutely.
