Ninth In the World

Gai Jinxuan had come straightforwardly. It was obvious that he had come especially for Mo Yuxuan.

Di Jiu was not aware of how Gai Jinxuan had known that Mo Yuxuan was here. However, he had relied on the fragment of the stone pillar, which had a part of the word “Nirvana” engraved on it and guessed that this place was the ruins of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.

Gai Jinxuan had come to the Virtuous Nirvana Sect especially for Mo Yuxuan. This was probably because Mo Yuxuan had something on her that attracted Gai Jinxuan. However, Di Jiu knew that he couldn’t stay long, no matter what had attracted Gai Jinxuan.

Since Gai Jinxuan had come, it was possible that Gai Yinxuan or Gai Tiexuan would come too in the future.

Di Jiu quickly carried Mo Yuxuan on his back and left the ruins of the battle.

About half a day later, two cultivators came. They were Yang Qianxiu and Qiu Zhen from the Great Fortune Immortal City.

“Deacon Yang, it seems that the City Lord is not here,” said Qiu Zhen puzzledly as he looked around.

Yang Qianxiu just laughed as he said, “Look! Isn’t the City Lord already here?”

Qiu Zhen then turned around subconsciously and immediately sensed that something was wrong. Yang Qianxiu was like a dog before the City Lord. If the City Lord had really come, would he still be taking things so lightly? He would surely have bowed down to welcome the City Lord.

Just as Qiu Zhen sensed that something was wrong, a deadly aura pierced his back and his strength disappeared instantaneously.

“Yang Qianxiu! You…” Qiu Zhen had a hard time turning around as he stared at Yang Qianxiu in disbelief. His Principal Spirit had also been nailed down during Yang Qianxiu’s sneak attack.

Then, Qiu Zhen’s body turned into a pulp with a wave of Yang Qianxiu’s hand and a ring landed in Yang Qianxiu’s hands.

“How dare a nobody covet the position of the City Lord!” said Yang Qianxiu in disdain as he took a few steps to the side and picked up a tattered boot.

He was really familiar with this boot. It belonged to Gai Jinxuan.

He was sure that Gai Jinxuan had fallen here now that his boot had been found.

If Gai Jinxuan had fallen, this meant that the Great Fortune Immortal City would belong to him. Yang Qianxiu felt like laughing out loud now. He wanted to thank the disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. Gai Jinxuan must have been killed by him.

Gai Jinxuan had been tempted by the disciples of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect but had entirely forgotten how scary they were. Yang Qianxiu believed that his time had finally come to head the sect after being Gai Jinxuan’s dog for so long.

Yang Qianxiu didn’t consider whether Gai Jinxuan would return at all. Even if he did return, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to Yang Qianxiu after he had converted his Essence Energy into Immortal Essence and attained the Perfected Immortal Realm.

It was a pity that he had to let the disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect off. If Gai Jinxuan couldn’t do anything to her, then he wouldn’t be able to either. However, it didn’t matter, as his strength would reach the Golden Immortal Realm sooner or later in the Great Fortune Immortal City.

…

Half a day later, Di Jiu established a new cave abode on an abandoned peak. Then, he brought Mo Yuxuan into that cave abode.

Mo Yuxuan was hurt and her wounds had not healed completely. Now that her heart and soul had also been traumatized, it would take a long time for her to recover.

Mo Yuxuan lay on the jade bed as her clothes were removed piece by piece by Di Jiu. Di Jiu could see her wounds clearly. They spread from her chest to her abdomen.

Although her ring had long disappeared, she didn’t know how she had lost it. No wonder she looked so shabby. She had no clothes to change into, neither did she have any elixirs to help her recover from her serious injuries. Not having a ring or even a Spirit Stone in the Sunset Immortal World, where one couldn’t cultivate, could be fatal.

All the cultivators who had gone to the Sunset Immortal World looked like vagabonds after many years. However, their clothes were rarely ever so tattered that they couldn’t even cover their body, like Mo Yuxuan.

Di Jiu guessed that Mo Yuxuan’s heart and soul had most likely been traumatized because she had lost her way, not just because of what had happened at the Virtuous Nirvana Sect and the Immortal World.

It was very frightening for a cultivator to lose their direction and purpose while being in a place where cultivating was not possible. Mo Yuxuan had even lost her ring.

Di Jiu had seen female bodies before. However, this was the first time that he had seen one as perfect as Mo Yuxuan’s. Although she had a scary wound on her chest from which blood was oozing out, it couldn’t cover up the beauty of her body.

Besides Zhen Man, Di Jiu had never fallen for any other woman. Moreover, after he had begun cultivating, he hadn’t cared about the affairs of the heart anymore.

Even Jing Moshuang had evoked another kind of feeling in him.

As Di Jiu was looking at Mo Yuxuan’s body, a fiery feeling brewed in his heart. He took a few deep breaths and recited the Mind Clearing Art.

He sighed. When he had first met Mo Yuxuan in the Small Central World, he had checked up on the Virtuous Nirvana Sect. Its disciples were not allowed to fall in love, nor were they allowed to have cultivation partners.

If Mo Yuxuan had been conscious, she would most likely have chosen to die rather than have her body be exposed before another person.

“I can’t be blamed for doing so. We have to be flexible with things in this imperfect Immortal World…” muttered Di Jiu to himself. Then, he let Mo Yuxuan consume a healing elixir before he washed her up. Next, he refined a few pieces of female cultivator clothing and put them on Mo Yuxuan.

When he had first seen Mo Yuxuan, she had been wearing only a green priest frock, as if she had been intentionally trying to cover up her looks. She had only looked delicate to other people.

When Di Jiu was done washing her up, he casually tied up her long hair behind her back and dressed her in the newly-refined pale blue fairy dress. She looked absolutely breathtaking.

This kind of beauty was pure, without a single speck of dust. It was just out of this world.

Di Jiu shifted his gaze. He knew that Mo Yuxuan was an extremely autonomous lady with her own independent way of thinking, even though she came from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.

He took a ring out and put some of the clothing he had refined, as well as some spirit meridians and Spirit Stones, into the ring. Then, he slid the ring onto Mo Yuxuan’s finger.

This was so that Mo Yuxuan would have at least a ring on her when she awoke and would not ask him in embarrassment about her clothes.

Di Jiu then picked up Gai Jinxuan’s ring and began refining it.

Although Gai Jinxuan was a Perfected Immortal, the restriction in his ring was too weak to even withstand one blow from him. Di Jiu only spent half an hour to open up the ring.

He cupped his fists in delight when his Spiritual Force landed on a pile of immortal crystals in Gai Jinxuan’s ring.

He had been in the Immortal World for over 100 years, but this was the first time he had seen immortal crystals. Their class aside, Di Jiu could feel his cultivation moving when his Spiritual Force came into contact with their Immortal Spirit aura.

Cultivating in the Immortal World required Immortal Arrays that could gather fortune. The immortal crystals could only restore Immortal Essence. None of these things were suitable for Di Jiu. He possessed a Golden Dao Law whose laws were clearly of a higher level than any of the other laws in the Immortal World. He only needed to communicate with the Golden Dao Law in his Spiritual Sea and he could absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi for cultivation purposes.

Actually, even if he didn’t have the Golden Dao Law, as long as he had immortal crystals, he could still cultivate in the Sunset Immortal World because he had gained insight into the 108 Foundation Orders of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

Di Jiu counted the number of immortal crystals in Gai Jinxuan’s ring. There were nearly 50,000 low-grade immortal crystals and 137 middle-grade ones. However, there were no high-grade and supreme-grade ones.

There was also a big pile of Spirit Stones apart from the immortal crystals. Di Jiu estimated that there were a few hundred billions of them, all of them high-grade Spirit Stones. It was a pity that they were of no use to Di Jiu.

Still, Di Jiu put all the immortal crystals and Spirit Stones in his Quintessential World. Although he had no use for them, Tiny Treant and Black Fire were still in reclusive cultivation in his Quintessential World.

More than 100 years had passed and Little Tree was already a level-eight demon tree and Black Fire was a peak level-nine demon tree. The aura in the Immortal World was chaotic and unsuitable for cultivating. Di Jiu didn’t plan on letting them come out to feel the chaotic aura.

He wasn’t interested in the cultivation technique jade slip and elixirs in Gai Jinxuan’s ring either. There wasn’t a single immortal pill inside. There were only low-level cultivation pills.

However, there was also a turtle shell that Di Jiu picked out.

An ancient immortal text was engraved on the turtle shell. It said that the Square Immortal Cauldron was used to ensure that the light of providence shone on the Immortal World. Thanks to it, the light from providence prospered in the Immortal World and produced many experts.

When Di Jiu read this information, he wondered whether the Square Immortal Cauldron could have been taken away, causing the light from providence to disperse. Thereafter, there had been no way to continue cultivating, which had resulted in a chaotic battle and a huge massacre.

This piece of information suddenly made a thought form in Di Jiu’s mind. If a Fortune Gathering Immortal Array was set up in the Sunset Immortal World, it would only be lingering feebly if it were not at or above level nine.

However, what would happen if he could set up a Major Five-Element Array to ensure the light from providence continued to shine?

He had thought of setting up a Major Five-Element Array, as he had a Floating Flame Flag.

Di Jiu didn’t know what the grade of the Square Immortal Cauldron was. However, if he could add the Floating Flame Flag to the Major Five-Element Array, its ability to ensure the light from providence continued shining would certainly be no weaker than that of the Square Immortal Cauldron. What a pity that he didn’t have the rest of the four flags. If all the five flags were gathered, the Major Five-Element Array would be much better than the Square Immortal Cauldron in ensuring that the light from providence continued to shine.
