Ninth In the World

After the previous example, Di Jiu was given all kinds of jade slips. An hour later, he had no choice but to pack up the booth.

Apart from the weathered Forging Spiritual Art jade slip, he did not receive any other valuable jade slips.

Although he had collected a lot of Forging Spiritual jade slips, none of them had caught his eye. He could have even written many of them himself. They were absolute garbage.

Di Jiu had also seen a lot of magic technique jade slips that had not caught his attention.

This was also understandable, as a good magic technique was a life-saver for a cultivator. One would not give it away easily, unless they were a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator really eager to attain the Golden Core Realm. The Forging Spiritual jade slip that the cultivator had taken out was not a magic technique. No one would ever give away their most precious magic technique jade slip.

“I am Li Can from the Constant Heaven Continent. Nice to meet you. May I know how to address you, pal?” When he saw Di Jiu packing up his booth, the second-level Essence Soul Realm cultivator walked over and greeted him with cupped fists.

When Du Jiu had set up his booth, this cultivator had not organized everyone to attack the ancient sect array or prevented Di Jiu from putting together the booth. This had made a good impression on Di Jiu, who also cupped his fists and said, “I am stray cultivator Di Jiu from the Polar Night Continent.”

“I noticed that your understanding of the Array Dao is great. I was wondering if you could attack this ancient sect Defense Array with us. If you are willing, I would like to make you the commander and let you direct everyone on how to attack the Defense Array.” The man’s tone was peaceful, and his words were very polite.

Di Jiu knew that this was because the other party had seen that his array formation was impressive, so he had approached him for help.

It would take them a year to attack this Defense Array, so they may not have opened the array even after the Sky Screen closed.

Thus, as Di Jiu was studying the Defense Array, no one said anything at all.

After only a few days, Di Jiu opened his eyes and stood up.

“Did you gain something, Brother?” Li Can, who had been paying attention to Di Jiu, quickly asked as he stepped forward.

Di Jiu nodded. “Yes, everyone can attack the spot my array flag will land on.”

Li Can quickly stood up and said aloud, “Everyone will attack the spot where Di Jiu’s array flag falls.”

Di Jiu grabbed an array flag and called the Tiny Treant out.

“You actually have a Tiny Treant? That’s really good luck!” Li Can gasped in admiration.

Di Jiu did not answer. He just threw the first array flag. He had called out the Tiny Treant so that it could go ahead and grab any valuables when he was ready to open the Defense Array. As soon as the Tiny Treant was called out, everyone knew that it was his. Otherwise, someone would have surely done something to it.

“Attack!” Li Can shouted when Di Jiu threw out the first array flag before smashing the Dharma treasure.

When Li Can threw his Dharma treasure, thousands of Dharma treasures slammed down. Everyone had done their best to attack the Defense Array. Even the ones that restrained their abilities only kept a few killing tricks to themselves.

Di Jiu threw numerous array flags. Then, an intense attack that gave the illusion that the space was shaking followed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Continuous attacks landed outside the Defense Array and kept changing positions.

Di Jiu felt clearly that this Defense Array was still being repaired, as it would repair a part after each attack.

This made Di Jiu’s heart catch fire. This situation only showed one thing: the spirit meridian of the Defense Array was buried under it.

The spirit meridian was much better than Spirit Stone cultivation, so Di Jiu was more eager to get this top-notch meridian.

On the 21st day, a cracking sound was heard, shocking all the attackers.

The trickiest part of this attack was that the Defense Array could be automatically repaired. Thus, the most difficult part was the initial stage. Once any of the Defense Array bases was torn open, the base would basically be smashed.

When the first Defense Array base was smashed, Di Jiu experienced a moment of enlightenment. Suddenly, many details of the array foundation meridian merged in his mind. A new kind of array foundation knowledge was formed, while many originally vague concepts were suddenly made clear.

It stood to reason that after the first array formation base was smashed, everyone would make persistent efforts to keep attacking as fast as possible.

While Di Jiu started experiencing a moment of enlightenment about the array formation, no one was commanding the others anymore, so the attack suddenly stopped.

“He is being enlightened…” Someone who noticed that Di Jiu had stopped moving realized that he was experiencing a moment of enlightenment.

Many people looked at Di Jiu enviously. Some of them did not seem satisfied. “We have been attacking for nearly a month, yet just when this Defense Array was about to break, he stopped abruptly. Isn’t this a waste of our previous efforts?”

Actually, this was not completely wrong. This Ninth-Level Defense Array could be repaired automatically, so Di Jiu suddenly realized that if he delayed this long enough, the Defense Array would be completely restored before they started attacking again. Although it could be broken again, this would waste a lot of time.

“Are you saying that you could break this Defense Array in a month without Brother Di’s help?” a mid-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator who felt very uncomfortable about this guy’s words said sarcastically.

“We will wait for Di Jiu to finish,” Li Can said with a wave of his hand. “Without him, we will not be able to break this Defense Array for many more months.”

Di Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and cupped his fists in the direction of Li Can and the Golden Core cultivator who had spoken up for him. “Thank you all for not disturbing me while I was being enlightened. Now we can continue to attack this array.”

Di Jiu, who was very happy deep down, led everyone to attack the level-nine Defense Array for more than 20 days. The moment an array base broke, he became a level-seven Array King.
