Ninth In the World

Di Jiu, who was carrying Nai Yisheng, had already left Jia He Town. He threw Nai Yisheng carelessly on the ground and said, “This is clearly a mortal planet, so tell me, how did you manage to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm?”

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already scanned this entire planet, which was evidently a mortal planet. Since that was the case, how had Nai Yisheng managed to cultivate to the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm?

“Senior, I was originally a nomad merchant. When I was in my thirties, I obtained a piece of jade. Simply too many people were attempting to seize that jade at the time. When I was escaping, I accidentally entered the Black Ocean…”

Di Jiu interrupted Nai Yisheng. “Is the Black Ocean the largest ocean on this planet?”

Nai Yisheng knew that Di Jiu’s cultivation level surpassed his by far but he had never expected that Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could envelop the entire planet. As he spoke, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already spotted the largest ocean on this planet.

“That’s right. The Black Ocean is the largest ocean on the Black Luster Planet,” Nai Yisheng answered hastily. “The year I escaped into the Black Ocean, I did not expect that the jade would transform into a shining large gate after being submerged into the ocean water. That left me completely stupefied. That light enveloped me but disappeared quickly. When I woke up, I was lying on the beach, most likely washed ashore by the waves…”

Di Jiu frowned. A shining array door had appeared when a piece of jade had been submerged inside the ocean water? This was the first time he’d heard of something like this. Could that piece of jade actually be an array disc that needed to be activated by coming into contact with the Black Ocean’s water?

Nai Yisheng sneakily eyed Di Jiu and saw that the latter was frowning. He dared not lie and thus said, “When I woke up, I discovered that some cultivation technique information had appeared inside my head. It was very complete. I followed that cultivation technique and cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Di Jiu sneered and intoned, “If you continue to lie, then you can shut up now. I will simply search your soul later.”

Even without scanning him with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu knew that Nai Yisheng was cultivating using trashy techniques. How could something so trashy be worthy of being bathed in Dao light and carved into his intent?

Nai Yisheng shuddered and hastily knelt on the floor. “Forgive me, Senior. I obtained a very ancient scroll along with that piece of jade. The contents of the scroll were incomprehensible to me, but after being wrapped by that light, I suddenly understood many things and was able to read the scroll…”

Di Jiu opened his palm and a tattered scroll landed on it.

Recorded on the scroll was an ordinary cultivation technique that allowed one to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm.

However, Di Jiu believed Nai Yisheng’s explanation this time. That Dao light had most likely been activated by Nai Yisheng’s Spirit Root. Some concealed images could only be seen if one had a Spirit Root.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed inside the Black Ocean and he quickly sensed that something about the ocean was different. Deep in the ocean was a concealed array door even Immortal Emperors might miss. The array door was shaped like a piece of jade.

“I permit you to be reincarnated.” Upon saying that, Di Jiu opened his palm and a flame engulfed Nai Yisheng. Nai Yisheng disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Di Jiu did not rush to leave this realm. Instead, he stepped into the Black Ocean and landed before the concealed array door.

He had actually sensed that this array door was somewhat familiar. Lifting his hand, Di Jiu took out several array flags and threw them. Then, the array door appeared.

Di Jiu increasingly felt that this array door was familiar. He closed his eyes and opened them half an hour later. He understood why he felt this familiarity. The Realm-Breaking Array in Tang Beiwei’s possession and the array door before him must have been created by the same person.

He lifted his hand once again, put away the array flags, and stepped into the array door.

The moment he did so, he knew that he had entered a Teleportation Array that seemed to open up to another realm. Similar to the Realm-Breaking Array Disc that belonged to Tang Beiwei, this was a Teleportation Array disc that connected two realms. This particular array disc had a higher level than Tang Beiwei’s Realm-Breaking Array Disc.

Di Jiu’s strength was not affected even though he had experienced realm teleportation.

When he landed on the ground, a chilly aura surged over at him. Even though he was a Primordial Chaos expert, he still felt discomfort.

Fortunately, he quickly got used to his environment. After performing a scan using his Spiritual Force, he discovered that an uncountable number of spirits were present.

This was the Yin World?

Di Jiu had been to Void City and had also encountered cultivators from the Yin Netherworld. However, he had no clue what the Yin World was. He did know that people would head to the Yin World after reincarnation, but he had never personally been to the Yin World. Being able to come to the Yin World through an array door exceeded his expectations.

A faint thunder spark landed within Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force, baffling him. Logically, the spirits of the Yin World should be most afraid of thunder sparks, so why was there a thunder spark in the Yin World?

Di Jiu took a step and landed beside the thunder spark. He discovered in astonishment that it was actually a thunder pearl. The thunder spark of the pearl was weak, but the surrounding spirits were still unable to come close to it.

Di Jiu opened his palm and the thunder pearl landed on it.

The thunder spark on the pearl was extremely weak, although Di Jiu believed that he would not be afraid even if the thunder spark was at its strongest.

What astounded him more was the fact that he immediately sensed a vast Dao aura the moment his Spiritual Force permeated the thunder spark.

This was definitely an apex Connate treasure. Di Jiu was ecstatic, as he had not expected that he would be able to obtain a Connate thunder pearl.

Di Jiu instantly communicated with the Book of the World and then understood what the pearl he was holding was. This was the Thunder Ocean Divine Pearl, and there should be 36 of them in total. However, there was only one in his hands.

That was not right. There was a remnant soul inside this Thunder Ocean Divine Pearl.

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao. He had yet to refine the Thunder Ocean Divine Pearl he was holding but he could already sense the soul force fluctuations inside the pearl.

Without any hesitation, he used his Spiritual Force to permeate the pearl. Then, his Spiritual Force captured a faint, almost disappearing soul force aura.

“Who are you?” Di Jiu sent out a message using his Spiritual Force.

The remnant soul seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber for a very long time. It had lost its consciousness, so it could not reply despite being probed by Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force. Di Jiu felt impatient. Just as he was about to withdraw his Spiritual Force, that remnant soul finally reacted. Its voice was extremely weak, but it was clearly a female voice.

“My name is Ye Yimo, and my dad is called Ye Mo. I come from…” The remnant soul dissipated once more and remained silent.

Di Jiu frowned. Since this remnant soul wanted to dissipate, let her be. Once it dissipated, he would keep this thunder pearl without forcibly seizing it.

Eh? That was not right. Ye Yimo… This name was very familiar. Di Jiu quickly recalled where he had heard this name. He had heard it from Ling Xiaoshuang.

Ling Xiaoshuang had asked him to head to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth to deliver a message to Ye Yimo or Tian Muwan so that one of them could save her.

Di Jiu shook his head speechlessly. Let Ye Yimo save her? If Di Jiu had not encountered Ye Yimo, the latter could at most have survived for several centuries before dissipating forever.

Di Jiu took out a Dao pill, pulverized it into mist, and scattered it on Ye Yimo’s remnant soul. The remnant soul became more solid but remained silent. Di Jiu knew that she must have been in a weak state for too long and would not regain consciousness anytime soon.

However, since her remnant soul could still barely sustain itself in the Thunder Ocean Divine Pearl, she had to possess a top-notch Thunder Spirit Root to cultivate using a top-notch thunder-element cultivation technique.

It would be a little difficult to save Ye Yimo. Di Jiu sighed. If he’d still had the Two-Realm Flower, he could have used it to save her…

The Two-Realm Flower? Di Jiu suddenly thought of seeing three Two-Realm Flowers when he had been stuck between the two realms. He had taken two away, which meant that one more was left.

He would have given up if he had still been at the Primordial Dao Realm. Now that he was at the Primordial Chaos Realm, he could head over and check if the Two-Realm Flower was still there. Ye Yimo and Ling Xiaoshuang were friends after all. He should save Ye Yimo if it was within his capability to do so.
