Ninth In the World

“Big Brother, are you leaving now?” Jie Huang had reached the eighth-stage Grand Zenith Immortal after a few years of cultivation, so he would be able to break through the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm after some time.

“No, I need to cultivate for some time before I leave.” Di Jiu looked at Jie Huang after finishing his words. “I am going to cultivate for two more months. You are now an eighth-stage Grand Zenith Immortal, so do use these two months to attain the ninth stage. I will give you some elixirs, and you can try to attain the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm when I come back.”

Di Jiu had planned it all out. Now that he was at the eighth-stage Grand Unity Immortal, he just needed some more time before he could attain the ninth stage. Afterward, he would go through the Tribulation Thunder and go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City.

In Di Jiu’s opinion, he would not spend too much time even if he continued cultivating in this place for two more months. His Spiritual Force was at level five, so along with an eighth-stage Grand Unity Immortal cultivation experience, he needed close to four or five months to reach the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City even with a high-grade flying boat. He would need around the same amount of time if he were to travel using the Spiritual Force escape technique.

He could not afford to be held up by anything because the auction would be starting in six months. His plan would be ruined if any disruptions occurred.

Di Jiu was certain that he could attain the first-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm in two months of cultivation. His Spiritual Force could reach level six as long as he became a first-stage Grand Zenith Immortal.

When his Spiritual Force reached level six, he could use the Spiritual Force escape technique and it would only take him two months to get to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City.

Not only would that save him time, but his cultivation level would also reach a whole new level.

Jie Huang, who was delighted, took out a ring immediately and passed it to Di Jiu. “Big Brother, this is a high-grade flying boat. It’s a gift for you.”

Di Jiu waved his hand. “I don’t need the flying boat. I have a better method to get there. Everyone get back to your cultivation quickly.”

…

In order to increase his cultivation speed, Di Jiu used a large amount of Unity Accumulation Immortal Pills. Thanks to the strong immortal spirit aura of this place, the Ninth Dao Law and the help of the pills, Di Jiu managed to break out of the eighth-stage Grand Unity Immortal and reach the ninth stage in two weeks.

Within two months, Di Jiu’s cultivation level reached the complete ninth-stage Grand Unity Immortal.

Di Jiu was worried that he would be held up on his way, so he left the hall after saying a few words to Jie Huang and the others.

In order to prevent others from coming to this place by using Chu Paihuai’s turtle shell ancient picture, Di Jiu spent three days to restructure the array in the void.

Even a cultivator who mastered the arrays would end up in another void when he entered from that array door in the void. He would not be able to see the hall where Jie Huang and the others were cultivating.

Di Jiu left feeling peace of mind after doing all those things. He now needed to find a place for tribulation transcendence.

One day later, Di Jiu landed on a gigantic meteorite in the void.

He could not find an incomplete planet in that place and, without the meteorite, he could only transcend the tribulation in the void. Di Jiu secured the meteorite by using the array flag of the void and threw thousands of immortal crystals on the meteorite.

Typical cultivators needed the Zenith Cloud Elixir to attain the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm. Di Jiu had the elixirs too, but he didn’t prepare them because he wanted to attain the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm, but to replenish the Heaven Earth Essence Energy after attaining the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm.

Thanks to the Ninth Dao law and his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Dao law, Di Jiu did not encounter any bottlenecks during his cultivation.

Indeed, he managed to touch the barrier of the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm after three days. The Tribulation Thunder collapsed the first time he tried to aim for the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm.

Although the Tribulation Thunder of the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm was much stronger than that of the Great Unity Immortal Realm, it was not a big challenge for Di Jiu, who had a late-stage immortal spirit body.

Boom, boom, boom! Di Jiu broke through the shackles of the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm when the first wave of thunder streaks struck him and felt the Dao law of the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm faintly. He had just attained the Great Unity Immortal Realm and swept away the raging immortal spirit Qi. However, it was too thin for him, even though he had thrown more than ten million immortal crystals.

Di Jiu took out a few Zenith Cloud Elixirs and swallowed them without hesitation. The terrifying immortal spirit Qi rushed into Di Jiu’s meridians and he officially entered the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm. At the same time, he felt as though he had stepped into a brand new world.

At that very moment, he heard a cracking sound in his Spiritual Sea and his Spiritual Force expanded many times. Di Jiu was overjoyed. His guess had been right! His Spiritual Force had reached the level-six Immortal Force when he’d obtained the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm.

It was a pity that he could not find treasures like the Roast Divine Herb in the Immortal World. Otherwise, his Spiritual Force might level up with the help of the Spiritual Force Training Art.

The Tribulation Thunder crashed down intensely, but Di Jiu was not affected at all.

The meteorite at Di Jiu’s feet turned into nothing due to the Tribulation Thunder, and his cultivation experience at the first-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm was stabilized.

…

There were more and more people in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City in the past few months. Fortunately, this was not the first time this had happened in the city, so it was not chaotic despite the huge crowd.

A young man wearing a light gold immortal robe came to the identification card redemption booth of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He took out 1,000 high-grade immortal crystals and exchanged them for a brand new identification card before he entered the city.

The young man’s face was a little pale, his forehead was filled with bloodlust, and a light smell of blood was coming from him. His face had some faintly visible traces of water lines and spots, and a look at him revealed that he was an expert who had trained by the sea for a long time.

The young man was Di Jiu, who had just reached the first-stage Grand Zenith Immortal Realm. It had only taken him two months to arrive in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City after becoming a Grand Zenith Immortal.

He had disguised himself using the orders, so even the strongest experts would not be able to identify him. Unless the experts’ understanding of the Foundation Order of Heaven and Earth was on par with or better than his, Di Jiu did not believe that any people like that would exist in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu carried the stench of blood because he had killed the Void Beasts he had encountered on his way to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. He made use of the stench of blood and some orders with aqua properties to make himself appear like someone who had cultivated by the sea for ages.

Di Jiu did not visit the All Emptiness Inn or the Starry Sky Tea House. Instead, he went straight to the Blue Immortal Inn.

The Blue Immortal Inn was slightly better than the average inn of the city. The master of the Blue Immortal Inn was a level-seven Immortal Array King, and all the defense arrays in the inn were at level seven. The price of the rooms was twice as much as normal prices just because of the defense array, and it was certain that the price-performance ratio there was very bad. Due to the upcoming auction in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, even inns with a low price-performance ratio like the Blue Immortal Inn were packed.

When Di Jiu arrived, the only room available was the luxury suite, which cost 500 freedom points per night.

Usually, no one would be staying in such a room. However, now that the auction was starting, a significant number of people were actually willing to stay in rooms like this one.

There was about a month left until the auction. Therefore, Di Jiu decided to pay for one month of rent by using the immortal crystals.

After entering the room, Di Jiu changed the name on his identification card to Zimo. Although he had been called Di Zimo initially, he was afraid that this might attract too much attention and that people would suspect that he was Di Jiu.

Subsequently, he transferred 1.1 billion freedom points to this name. These freedom points would be all his assets at the auction.

Although all the defense arrays in the room were at level seven, Di Jiu still set up a level-five defense array inside. As a level-eight Immortal Array Supremacy who was going to purchase the precious Agama True Glazed Water, it was best that he maintained a low profile.

Thanks to the defense of the level-five immortal array, no one would be able to scan his room.

After ensuring that his room was secure, Di Jiu picked up the scroll on the table. Every luxury room had one of those scrolls, which was meant to provide information about the items being auctioned.

Di Jiu scanned the scroll using his Spiritual Force and sighed in relief when he saw the Agama True Glazed Water. He had come for it after all.

Di Jiu started looking at the other items after confirming that the Agama True Glazed Water would be available at the auction.

The Spiritual Immolation escape technique was supposed to be an incomplete escape technique. This technique could allow one to escape by burning the Spiritual Sea. It would let one get away from the Spiritual Sea of any Immortal Emperor when used once.

Di Jiu’s eyes were fixed on the item, as this was the best way to escape even though it was incomplete. He was not afraid because he could make up for this limitation by using the Ninth Dao law.

He had to get this technique.

Heavenly Zenith Iron!

Di Jiu saw the Heavenly Zenith Iron right after he made up his mind to get the Spiritual Immolation escape technique and moved his eyes away from it.

This was something he had to get, as his Heavenly Aqua Saber had been made using the Pure Heaven Saber Gold and the Whirling Sand. The Whirling Sand, in particular, was a priceless treasure that was hard to obtain even in the Immortal World, as it leveled up by absorbing the Heaven Earth Essence Energy.

However, it came with its cons as well. The saber was shortened by one inch every single time it leveled up, and it was very difficult to reach the peak performance of the immortal weapon.

His Heavenly Aqua Saber was three-feet nine-inches, and the only way to prevent it from shortening when it leveled up was by using the Heavenly Zenith Iron. It was a level-nine immortal material that could upgrade the high-grade Heavenly Aqua Saber to a supreme-grade immortal weapon while maintaining its length.

He had to get this material too.
