Ninth in The World - Chapter 335

Chapter 335: 335

Di Jiu felt hopeless after a month . He believed that he would die from fatigue sooner or later if he kept running around blindly like a headless chicken .

By now, he could be sure that Yan Xiaosha hadn’t been here before . If he had, he wouldn’t have said that this place was dangerous . Instead, he would have said that once someone entered this place, they would never be able to make it out again .

Di Jiu tried setting up a random Teleportation Array, which teleported him 1,000 feet away . This was the same result the Spiritual Force escape technique had produced .

If he had been alone, he wouldn’t have minded being trapped there . However, he had the Starry Sky Immortal City to take care of now . Although he had handed the control array flag of the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Dharma Array to Qu Tong and Yan Xiaosha, he still had to return every once in a while to make sure things were still in order .

This was not to say that it didn’t matter if the Starry Sky Immortal City was taken by someone else, as the Sky Bamboo River was the only place in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate that was suitable for establishing the Starry Sky Immortal City . If the Starry Sky Immortal City was taken, then the Immortal World would most likely slip back into sunset and eventually crumble .

Moreover, he was still only at the fourth-stage Perfected Immortal Realm . Where would he cultivate if the Immortal World was gone? Thus, he had not built the Starry Sky Immortal City only to save the Immortal World, but also for him and his friends .

Di Jiu looked at the Luminous Starry Sky of his Dao fire on his wrist . He had gotten trapped there precisely because the Dao fire had transcended nirvana .

What baffled Di Jiu was that his Dao fire seemed to be leaning slightly towards one direction .

However, he was surprised that there was no message for him . Could there be something in that direction? Di Jiu carried Mo Yuxuan without hesitation and dashed in the direction that the Dao fire was leaning towards .

Another month passed . The Dao fire was still leaning in the same direction in which Di Jiu was advancing . However, Di Jiu still hadn’t found anything .

His Dao fire’s class was still too low to provide him with any accurate information . Di Jiu could only continue heading in the indicated direction . A few days later, he felt a burning aura .

Could this be the Heavenly Fire Spirit? Di Jiu felt happy as he sped up . He had already suspected that maybe his Dao fire had detected the Heavenly Fire Spirit when he had seen it leaning in one direction .

What else could this burning aura be, if it was not the Heavenly Fire Spirit? Di Jiu stopped after half an hour .

A sea of gray filled the road in front of him, emitting a frightening, burning aura . It felt like anything that went near it would be burned away .

This was a flame . Di Jiu, who possessed knowledge and experience, knew immediately that it was a flame when he saw the gray color . He even knew that it was called the Void Gray Flame .

The Void Gray Flame, which ranked 14th amongst the heavenly fires . was a quality item . Moreover, this flame was definitely at least a level-four immortal flame .

Di Jiu was somewhat disappointed when he realized that it was the Void Gray Flame that had dictated the direction the Dao fire had pointed in .

Fortunately, Di Jiu quickly eased up . Even though this wasn’t the Heavenly Fire Spirit, it was still the only thing he had gained ever since he had entered the Sky Screen Pit .

The only things that he had seen after being in the Sky Screen Pit for so many days had been all kinds of potholes and this Void Gray Flame .

He naturally had to refine the flame .

Di Jiu possessed a level-two Immortal Force, but had an extremely stable Spiritual Force . Moreover, he had been using a level-five immortal flame for some time, so he had some insight into immortal flames . Although the Void Gray Flame was frightening, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him to refine it .

He only spent half a month to completely refine this Void Gray Flame . The refined Void Gray Flame turned into a ball of flame the size of a thumb as it danced on Di Jiu’s palm .

His guess had been right . This was a level-four immortal flame .

He had finally reaped some benefits after running around in the Sky Screen Pit for so many months .

With a wave of his hand, Di Jiu put the refined Void Gray Flame into his starry sky meridian .

However, he wondered why his Dao fire was still pointing to the front when he had already refined the Void Gray Flame . Could the Dao fire not have been pointing to the Void Gray Flame in the first place?

Di Jiu felt excited again . He had previously found the Void Gray Flame by following the direction in which the Dao fire had guided him . Therefore, regardless of whether the Dao fire was pointing in the direction of the Heavenly Fire Spirit, he would follow its guidance .

…

In the Immortal World, both the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Sect and the Virtuous Nirvana Sect could feel the light from providence . These two sects had been the two most famous sects in the Immortal World .

There was only one difference between them . The Virtuous Nirvana Sect was a low-profile immortal sect, while the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Sect was a very high-profile immortal sect . However, both of them were very well-known and respected by everybody .

Only when the very powerful Radiant Fortune Immortal Emperor appeared in the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Sect did the sect’s name change to Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect . This was the first thing that the Immortal Emperor did after assuming control over the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Sect .

Suddenly, a Dao nun with strands of gray and white hair appeared at the edge of the Sky Wall of the Newborn Immortal Protectorate . She stood there and stared in the direction of the Sunset Immortal Protectorate .

She was Jing Luowen, the second-generation disciple of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, who was also the sect master of the current generation .

After quite some time, Jing Luowen muttered to herself, “Maybe it was wrong of me to bring a portion of the disciples from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect to the Newborn Immortal Protectorate . This was no place for newborns at all . ”

Many disciples had passed away ever since coming to the Newborn Immortal Protectorate . Only a few had survived .

Boom! A loud sound came from the edge of the Sky Wall . Jing Luowen quickly scanned the area with her Spiritual Force as her face gradually grew pale .

The Sky Wall had been opened! A few dozen cultivators dashed out and entered the Sunset Immortal Protectorate .

Jing Luowen saw very clearly that all those cultivators were disciples of the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect . They must have been sent over to the Sunset Immortal Protectorate because their sect master, Yi Zhen, had detected that this was the direction the light from providence of the Immortal World was leaking towards . Therefore, he had made use of his authority to send his disciples over to check the activities of the Sunset Immortal Protectorate for his own benefit .

The number of killings in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate had already been rising . Now that the Great Sky Wall Array had been opened, the speed at which its light from providence was leaking away had increased .

Indeed, Jing Luowen felt the murderous aura in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate increase after the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect’s disciples rushed out of it . An evil-foreboding air that was faintly discernible spread slowly outward . At the same time, the light from providence was also leaking faster and faster from the Newborn Immortal Protectorate .

“Ha ha! You had me searching high and low for you, Junior Sister Jing . I didn’t expect that you would come here to admire the scenery too!” A loud, cheerful voice was heard as a middle-aged man appeared in front of Jing Luowen .

Jing Luowen started coldly at the middle-aged man in front of her and said, “Yi Zhen, how dare you open the Great Sky Wall Array without permission! You must be plotting to let the murderous aura from the Sunset Immortal Protectorate enter the Newborn Immortal Protectorate to increase the speed at which the light from providence leaks from the Newborn Immortal Protectorate, thereby destroying the entire Immortal World! You are too selfish…”

Jing Luowen couldn’t think of a better or sterner way to reprimand Yi Zhen . However, her tumultuous feelings were made evident by her pulsating chest .

Yi Zhen, who came from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, chuckled as he said, “Junior Sister Jing, the founding Ancestral Masters of both our sects have been fellow siblings, so let’s not stand on ceremony . If you don’t breathe a word of this, who will know?”

Jing Luowen turned and walked away immediately . She didn’t share a common language with Yi Zhen .

“Why are you leaving?” asked Yi Zhen as he blocked Jing Luowen’s path . “I was able to break through to the Immortal King Realm because of Jing Luolin’s help…”

“So you were the beast who harmed Luolin…” Jing Luowen was bursting with anger .

The Virtuous Nirvana Sect had gone into hiding because its disciples were too attention-grabbing . All of them had Nirmala Spirit Bodies . No cultivators would let them off if they caught hold of them .

“It was a pity that Jing Luolin’s cultivation was too weak . If Sect Master can go back to the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect with me, I may just be able to attain the Immortal Supremacy Realm…”

Before Yi Zhen had finished speaking, Jing Luowen’s fly-whisk had already transformed into thousands and thousands of white needle-like flares that flew toward Yi Zhen and encapsulated him .

Boom! Yi Zhen raised his hand and punched out as an ice-cold smile formed at the corner of his mouth .

A loud boom exploded in the void before the needle-like flares instantly dissipated .

“What a cunning woman…” snarled Yi Zhen as he dashed out after making the needle-like flares dissipate .

All the disciples from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect, including their sect master, were old-fashioned and inflexible in his opinion . Jing Luowen would definitely seek revenge from him now that she knew that her Junior Sister, Jing Luolin, had been raped and killed by him . He hadn’t expected that Jing Luowen would leave after just one move .

However, he wasn’t worried that Jing Luowen would escape . As long as she was still in the Newborn Immortal Protectorate, he would be able to recapture her, no matter where she ran to .

This thought had just flashed across Yi Zhen’s mind, when his expression turned ugly . He took another step into the void and punched out again .

Jing Luowen vomited a mouthful of fresh blood as she dashed towards the Sunset Immortal Protectorate through the gap in the Great Sky Wall Array that Yi Zhen had previously opened and which had yet to fully close up .

Yi Zhen’s expression was very ugly . He didn’t give chase . He could get his disciples from the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect to find out what had happened in the Sunset Immortal Protectorate . However, he definitely wouldn’t risk entering the murderous aura-laden Sunset Immortal Protectorate .

He believed that the Immortal World would never be restored to its original state . His Dao journey would end if he dared to enter the Sunset Immortal Protectorate .
