Chapter 319: Sunset in the Immortal World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A man wearing ragged clothes stumbled to the Thearch Robe Sea . Behind him was a woman wearing torn clothes .

The man was covered in blood, so it was obvious that he was running for his life . That woman was holding a long sword and she appeared to be chasing and trying to kill the man .

“Save me, Daoist!” cried the man as he finally saw the person standing still by the Thearch Robe Sea . He immediately understood that the figure was probably someone who had passed away a long time ago . The person in question was covered in dust and appeared to have experienced the vicissitudes of life .

Bam! The man fell onto the ground because he was suddenly blocked by an invisible force .

Di Jiu woke up almost at the same moment that someone invaded his territory . He had a sudden realization when he felt the surging Quintessential Essence Energy in his body . His domain could expand according to his own preferences .

He had attained the Domain Realm in 100 years .

Only after he had truly attained the Domain Realm was he able to understand that all the True Dominion and Domain Realm experts were unreal .

There were only complete and incomplete Domain Realms . There was no such thing as first stage or ninth stage .

It had taken him a hundred years to enter and attain the Domain Realm . In the meantime, he had understood the Foundation Order in the Five Continent Dao Pagoda . His saber intent, fist intent, and even the intent of his Beginning Thunder Engraving and Jumbo Footprint had fused together . These intents connected with his Starry Sky Meridian and formed a domain like the galaxy .

Due to the sanguinary and desolation of the Immortal World, he wanted to use his own way of killing to create a truly beautiful Immortal World . This allowed him to bring his state of mind and surroundings into his cultivation and create a galaxy domain realm of his own .

When Di Jiu opened his eyes, he finally saw people around him .

“Do you still want to escape?” The woman mocked the man as she walked up to him .

“Daoist, I do not know you . Everyone is struggling in the Immortal World . Why do you want to kill me?” said the man who had bumped into Di Jiu’s Domain Realm . He did not have the time to find out what he had collided with, let alone realize that this was a person with such a powerful Domain Realm .

He knew about the Domain Realm because he was at the ninth-stage Domain Realm . However, he had never known anyone that could knock him down with the Domain Realm .

The woman laughed shrilly . “Do you think I want your Blood Essence? If I don’t take it, I will not be able to advance and I will fall like the Sunset Immortal World . I’m not the only person doing this in the Immortal World . You are just unlucky that you encountered me . You are no match for me . I will bury your body if you don’t resist… You are alive?”

The woman finally saw Di Jiu, who had opened his eyes, so her question was directed at him .

The male cultivator also looked at Di Jiu in horror, as he had not felt Di Jiu’s aura at all earlier . In addition, Di Jiu had been covered in dust and blended into the surroundings . Hence, the man had thought that Di Jiu had passed away a long time ago .

“Yes, I am alive . Unlike some people who appear alive but are actually dead . ” Di Jiu jerked . After he used a dusting spell, all the dust around him disappeared .

At the moment, he was totally clean, as though he had been cleansed by the purest water .

The Heavenly Aqua Saber behind him vibrated weakly and flew into the air by itself . Strong saber intent came together as the saber made a ringing sound .

Di Jiu was delighted . He had not expected that the Heavenly Aqua Saber would become a supreme-grade spirit weapon after he attained the Domain Realm . However, it was time for the saber to be upgraded, as it had been on his back for more than 100 years .

Indeed, the saber became four feet and one inch long, making Di Jiu feel a little disappointed . He was worried that the saber would turn into a dagger that was only one-foot long .

“Is this a Dharma treasure that can be upgraded?” That woman’s eyes shone with excitement as she set her eyes on the Heavenly Aqua Saber floating around Di Jiu .

“Go die…” The woman’s eyes were red with jealousy as she saw Di Jiu’s saber weapon . The long sword in her hand transformed into a white flare that surged towards Di Jiu .

The woman felt the space around her freeze, even though she was more than ten feet away from Di Jiu .

The woman’s eyes were filled with horror and disbelief . How could a Domain Realm cultivator be so scary? She was sure that Di Jiu was at most a Domain Realm cultivator because he did not have an Immortal Essence Aura .

She had once seen a Perfected Immortal expert, but that expert had been incomparable to the person before her .

The Heavenly Aqua Saber transformed into a blue beam and flashed across . The woman watched the saber as it dashed towards her . She could not escape, so she was slain by it .

The woman was killed before she could even attack Di Jiu .

“Senior…” The male cultivator looked at Di Jiu in astonishment . He had been wandering in the Immortal World for a few hundred years and met real Perfected Immortal experts . Hence, he knew that Di Jiu was not a real immortal . How could a cultivator who was not even a Perfected Immortal expert kill that woman in one shot? He was so strong…

At least there were no other experts like him .

“I’m Di Jiu . Could you tell me more about the Immortal World?” Di Jiu said with a slower pace as he put away the ring .

The male cultivator cupped his fists and said, “I am Bei Chutai and I’ve been here for nearly 300 years . ”

Just the mention of these 300 years made Bei Chutai sorrowful . Thus, he sighed before he added, “The Immortal World was really desolate even when I first arrived . In addition, the immortal Spirit Qi here was messed up, so it was barely sufficient for me to maintain my cultivation . I finally met some people after wandering alone for more than 100 years . I found a gigantic castle occupied by many cultivators . I went up to the castle and realized that the immortal Spirit Qi there was rich and suitable for cultivation . However, I did not qualify to enter . One needed at least one billion high-grade Spirit Stones or one thousand immortal crystals to enter the castle . ”

“You did not enter the castle and you do not know why the Immortal World is like this?” Di Jiu asked .

Bei Chutai nodded . “Yes, I was not qualified to enter the castle . However, I have encountered some immortals who were wandering around like me…”

Bei Chutai laughed self-derisively . “I have been in the Immortal World for a few hundred years, yet I was not able to transform my Quintessential Essence into Immortal Essence . I dare not call myself an immortal . What I heard from others is that, after the mass killing, the Immortal World was filled with viciousness . There was no light from providence, because it had been abandoned by God . Those competent immortals got together and created a massive array to gather the light from providence . Although the array could not change the situation here, it was able to focus the light from providence and allow the immortals to cultivate . ”

“Are all the places in the Immortal World like this?” Di Jiu knew that he did not qualify to go into the castle . He only asked this question because he did not have one billion Spirit Stones . Even if he had a billion Spirit Stones, he would dare not go there .

Bei Chutai shook his head . “No, I occasionally heard that the reason there were such places in the Immortal World is because of the sunset moment . After the sunset moment, the immortals who survived left the place and focused all the light from providence in a single place . That place was the New Immortal Protectorate . The place we are at now is called the Sunset Immortal Protectorate . ”

“Where is the New Immortal Protectorate?” Di Jiu asked hurriedly .

Bei Chutai shook his head once again . “I don’t know either . Rumor has it that it is also in the Immortal World, but it has been separated . I have been to countless places and met numerous people, but nobody knew where it is . I heard that any cultivator from the Sunset Immortal Protectorate would be slain directly if they got a million Li away from the New Immortal Protectorate . ”

“Why did the female cultivator want to kill you?”

“She wanted to use my Blood Essence for cultivation . ” Bei Chutai sounded depressed .

“Was she a demon cultivator?” Di Jiu asked .

Bei Chutai sighed . “No, she was not . In fact, there are many cultivators like her . These people wandered in the Immortal World and traveled alone like me . The place we are in has messy immortal Spirit Qi, so we cannot cultivate without the Blood Essence of cultivators . The reason that female cultivator was so powerful is because she had killed many cultivators . ”

“Why didn’t you do the same?” Di Jiu did not feel any murderous intent coming from Bei Chutai .

Bei Chutai’s eyes were full of sorrow . “Everyone is wandering in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate . Engulfing other Daoists is as good as drinking poison to quench one’s thirst . Even if things were different, I would not go against my moral values . I’m wandering in the Immortal World . If I was fortunate enough to find shelter here, I would live in dishonor . Otherwise, I would just continue wandering like the others . ”

“There are many people like me, who do not wish to cultivate using the Blood Essence of others . Senior Di, I can tell that you have not killed others to take their Blood Essence . If you don’t mind, I would gladly travel around with you . ”

Di Jiu looked at the setting sun as sorrow filled his heart . Even the Immortal World was a merciless place .

Then, he said after a while, “Daoist Bei, I plan to build a safe castle like the one you described . However, I just came to the Immortal World, so I need more time to conduct research before I can create an array to gather light from providence…”

“Senior, I am willing to follow you . ” Bei Chutai’s eyes glimmered with hope .

Di Jiu shook his head . “No, I was hoping that we could work separately . If we find a suitable place one day, let’s wait here or leave a message for each other . ”

Without the light from providence, the communication pearl was practically useless in the Immortal World, despite the laws that existed . Therefore, Di Jiu and Bei Chutai agreed to meet at the same place again . As far as the array was concerned, Di Jiu was not competent enough at the moment to create it . However, he believed that he could create it one day because he had the Book of the World .

Bu Chutai exclaimed, “Okay, Senior! I will definitely find shelter for us . ”

“Don’t call me Senior . We are not the only like-minded Daoists in this place . We are merely taking the first step . One day, countless like-minded Daoists will join us . ” Di Jiu patted Bei Chutai’s shoulder .
