Ninth In the World

When Di Jiu entered reclusive cultivation, the Sect Masters and disciples who had left the Starry Sky Immortal City established their own sects one after another.

Though there were fewer cultivators from the Square Immortal Continent who ascended through various techniques, it was very clear that the Square Immortal Continent was now starting to prosper.

Only people and time were missing.

As for the Square Immortal Continent, even though the Immortal Spirit Qi was thicker by more than 10 times, not many people came. Firstly, there were not many people in the Square Immortal Continent. Secondly, who did not have some small secrets? Since they could leave the Starry Sky Immortal City and have their own place, why would they want to lodge under the Square Immortal Continent’s roof?

The weeds on the street were all burned, as if by a night of spring breeze. There was a field of lush green and sprouting life-force all around the Square Immortal Continent at the moment.

A small number of cultivators were busy with their own issues, frantically entering reclusive cultivation or searching for treasure in the Square Immortal World, where there was no sign of human habitation.

10 years passed in the blink of an eye. Di Jiu had finished all the blue shards and his cultivation level had attained the Immortal King Perfected Realm. He was one step away from breaking through and becoming an Immortal Supremacy.

Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force. Qu Tong was already a fourth-stage Grand Zenith Immortal, Bei Chutai and Liu Yuxin were third-stage Grand Zenith Immortals, and Yan Xiaosha had already gone through Immortal King Thunder Tribulation and his cultivation level was at the second-stage Immortal King.

The blue shards were a quality item. Although they could not only allow him to attain the Immortal King Perfected Realm in a short time, four of their strengths allowed him to advance rapidly.

Of course, Di Jiu knew very well that, besides the blue shards, the distinct surrounding Heaven Earth Law that he cultivated was another main reason for this.

Di Jiu decided to leave. His strength was still unable to enter the Small Central World, and he did not know why Di Di had not ascended yet. In addition, the Starry Sky Immortal City finally had its own Immortal King. Therefore, he could leave.

After sending the four of them a message, Di Jiu left the Starry Sky Immortal City.

Once he left, their cultivation speed abruptly fell. The Heaven Earth Immortal Spirit Qi here was still extremely rich, but their cultivation speed could not be compared to when Di Jiu was still present. It was not even 1% as fast.

At the same time, the four of them knew that there was definitely a big secret about Di Jiu. Otherwise, they could not have improved so much while cultivating alongside Di Jiu.

…

The Thunderous Floating Island was the same as before. One could sense its terrifying thunder streak aura before entering.

Di Jiu had been almost killed by the Thunderous Floating Island’s thunder streak to cross the island back then. If he had not had a piece of Primeval Thunder Rock, he would not necessarily have crossed the Thunderous Floating Island. Thanks to the Immortal Divine Body’s body-tempering cultivation level now, Di Jiu did not need the Primeval Thunder Rock anymore. He believed he could easily cross the island on his own.

Di Jiu sensed an even more terrifying and concentrated thunder shower than the last time he had come to the Thunderous Floating Island. Thus, he somewhat doubted whether Lu Xikun could cross the Thunderous Floating Island to reach the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

Di Jiu did not intend to cross the Thunderous Floating Island right now. Instead, he planned to leave the Square Immortal Continent after he advanced into an Immortal Supremacy.

When Di Jiu grabbed the Green Essence Energy Meridian, which was about a dozen feet, and threw it on the ground, the surrounding terrifying and thick Heaven Earth Essence Energy swept over. Di Jiu could sense his own cultivation level rising frantically even though he was not cultivating.

He was silently stunned. This was a quality item. Fortunately, he had made a trip to the Brilliant Lake Palace. Otherwise, this would definitely have been stripped away by Ye Xi in the end. A decade ago, he would not have used the blue shards for cultivation but directly chosen this Green Essence Energy Meridian, so his cultivation level would probably have rushed into the Immortal Supremacy Realm and maybe he would have already been a mid-stage Immortal Supremacy.

However, Di Jiu did not regret it. Although he had the Ninth Dao Law, he was aware that the Heaven Earth Law and his foundation and state of mind were far above other cultivators. After all, cultivation was a step-by-step process. He had broken through the first-stage Immortal King Realm to the Immortal King Perfect Realm in only a few decades. If a cultivator was gifted, they could break through to the Immortal King grades in decades and would definitely be considered gifted among the gifted.

If he still wanted to accelerate his speed, he was afraid it might lead to an unstable foundation.

Once the Nomological Qi Circulation started, the Heaven Earth Essence Energy in the Green Essence Energy Meridian formed into a green, long dragon and bound Di Jiu.

Di Jiu’s cultivation level rose like a rocket. He had originally planned to use a few Intent Supremacy Elixirs to help, but given the current situation, why would he need them? His Starry Sky Meridian was not working enough to absorb the Heaven Earth Essence Energy.

Boom, boom, boom! A moment later, nine loud thunder streaks rumbled.

Di Jiu thought he had an Immortal Divine Body, and he had the Colossal Kun Art Schema. Even though this was an advanced Immortal Supremacy’s Thunder Tribulation, it did not have a large effect on him.

However, this was the first wave of Thunder Tribulation, so Di Jiu was stunned. How could this be the Immortal Supremacy Thunder Tribulation? This was deadly Thunder Tribulation.

The nine thunder streaks were not thinner than his arms. Besides, when every thunder streak fell, it would rip apart his bones, breaking every inch of them apart.

The nine waves of Thunder Tribulation had just passed, yet Di Jiu had already been thrown to the ground with serious injuries all over his body. His Immortal Divine Body seemed fake.

Before Di Jiu could react, the second wave of Thunder Tribulation fell.

He would definitely die if this went on. Di Jiu hurriedly grabbed his Primeval Thunder Rock.

Ever since he had been successful with body-tempering, this was the first time he had withstood the Thunder Tribulation streaks.

There was a total of 18 Thunder Tribulations in the second and third wave, each one rumbling against the Primeval Thunder Rock.

He did not know which period this Primeval Thunder Rock had been left behind in. The 18 streaks felt even stronger than the first wave of Thunder Tribulation but did not do any damage to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu urgently swallowed down numerous elixir pills and hurriedly circulated the Nomological Qi.

Before the next wave of Thunder Tribulation fell, Di Jiu’s injuries had recovered speedily. The Starry Sky meridian’s Immortal Essence frantically rushed to the Immortal Supremacy cultivation level.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The fourth, fifth, and sixth wave of Thunder Tribulation fell at the same time. Di Jiu’s heart sank. This was not only Thunder Tribulation streaks. There was also a large amount of thunder shower mixed together with them, trying to kill him.

Di Jiu did not believe this too much, as he had obtained the Ninth Dao Law long ago. The Thunder Tribulation previously had also been much stronger than an ordinary cultivator, but not to the point of this terrifying Thunder Tribulation, which just wanted his life.

The Thunder Tribulation and Thunder Shower, which were close together, rumbled on the Primeval Thunder Rock, which was surrounded by the thunder rays, as if a lot of them could be absorbed by the rock.

Boom! The seventh wave of Thunder Tribulation fell. What made Di Jiu become frantic was that this wave had not fallen from above his head but from the side.

Di Jiu did not refine the Primeval Thunder Rock, and the seventh wave of Thunder Tribulation once again rumbled on his body.

Crack! Pfft! Di Jiu’s injuries, which he had just recovered from, once again ruptured and every inch of his bones broke anew. At the same time, a blood arrow sprayed out and Di Jiu broke through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. Meanwhile, his Spiritual Sea grew hot and expanded once again and his Spiritual Force grew substantially once more.

Boom! Boom! The eight and ninth wave of Thunder Tribulation fell and landed in every direction. No matter how strong Di Jiu’s Primeval Thunder Rock was, it could not keep off the Thunder Tribulation streaks coming from all directions.

Di Jiu drew his Heavenly Aqua Saber and grabbed the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron.

Boom, boom, boom! Numerous Thunder Tribulation streaks were blocked by Di Jiu after only rumbling three or four times on his body. Luckily, Di Jiu had just broken through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm, so his body did not collapse.

The last two waves of Thunder Tribulation passed, and Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber advanced to a supreme-grade immortal weapon. This made Di Jiu feel a bit comforted deep down.

The ninth wave of Thunder Tribulation came and went fast. Di Jiu saw it. Unfortunately, although there was already a clear sky ahead, he still felt a lingering fear.

What cultivators were most afraid of besides mental demons was Tribulation Transcendence. Di Jiu thought his Tribulation Transcendence had been the most relaxed all along. Thunder Tribulation could not pose a deadly threat to him.

The Thunder Tribulation today had told Di Jiu that the reason he had not received Thunder Tribulation threats might have been because he was lucky.

If he had not had the Primeval Thunder Rock or obtained the Green Essence Energy Meridian, which had allowed him to break through to the Immortal Supremacy Realm within a short time, it would have been a disaster.

Such a terrifying Thunder Tribulation was not related to the Ninth Dao Law. Thus, the only possibility was the nomological cultivation technique. His cultivation was now different from other people’s. Even though his meridians were sealed, he could also cultivate because he could circulate the Nomological Qi.

Maybe such techniques were too defiant, which had caused him to almost die because of the Thunder Tribulation.

No matter what, he had to hurry up and upgrade his strength.

Several days later, Di Jiu’s cultivation level was stabilized in the second-stage Immortal Supremacy and his Green Essence Energy Meridian thinned a little.

Di Jiu tidied himself up, changed into a new set of clothes, and put away his things. He had almost died during the Immortal Supremacy Thunder Tribulation and he had not gained anything at all.

Firstly, his cultivation level had advanced to the second-stage Immortal Supremacy. Secondly, his Heavenly Aqua Saber had advanced to a supreme-grade immortal weapon. Thirdly, his Spiritual Sea had once again advanced and his Spiritual Force should now be the equivalent of a level-ten Immortal Force.

What had surprised him even more was the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron. He had not had the time to refine it, yet it had still helped him block four Thunder Tribulation streaks during the last wave of Thunder Tribulation. It was only second to the Primeval Thunder Rock.

He now had to hurry up and refine the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron. Even if it could not be used for alchemy, it was still a top-notch defense Dharma treasure. He also had to refine the Five-Element Flag as soon as possible.
