Ninth in The World - Chapter 616

Chapter 616: 616

After leaving the Ninth World, Di Jiu took out a pile of Divine Essence Pills and increased his strength in a frenzy .

 However, the speed of his upgrade was simply too fast . No matter how many Divine Essence Pills and supporting elixir pills he consumed, his cultivation did not increase much . Another year passed and Di Jiu received Yu Qianxi’s message .

 Sighing, he put the array flags away . He had spent a little over one year in seclusion, but his cultivation level had not increased at all, although his Divine Essence had become slightly more condensed .

 “Senior Brother Di, thank you for waiting for me for a few years . ” After searching the Vast Ruins for a few years, the veil she wore to obscure her face was long lost .

 Di Jiu was impressed by her beauty . However, judging by Yu Qianxi’s disappointed expression, Di Jiu knew that she had failed to gain insight into what she had been seeking .

 “It’s nothing . Furthermore, I have gained quite a bit over the past few years . Let’s go . We can head to the second level now,” replied Di Jiu as he waved his hand dismissively .

 He had indeed gained much over the past few years . He had become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity in addition to leveling-up the Heavenly Aqua Saber into a middle-grade divine weapon .

 Simply based on his status as a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity, he would have access to an unlimited amount of cultivating resources in the Dao World . Of course, this was provided that he did not offend Jiang Dai .

 Yu Qianxi bowed before Di Jiu and said with some embarrassment, “Senior Brother Di, a Senior Sister from my sect called Wen Xi-er met her doom in the Vast Ruins . Previously, my sect sent out many people to find her body to no avail . If possible, I wish to search the second level as well . ”

 Di Jiu immediately thought of the jade kettle he was carrying . He was certain that the reason Yu Qianxi was searching for Wen Xi-er was because of that jade kettle .

 However, he had zero intention of handing the jade kettle to Yu Qianxi . After all, Wen Xi-er had tried to sabotage him . Otherwise, he would not have taken that jade kettle and made it his .

 He knew that that jade kettle was now in his possession . Therefore, Yu Qianxi would not be able to find it no matter how long she searched for it . Naturally, he would not accompany her in her search for it .

 “Junior Sister Yu, the second level of the Vast Ruins is much more dangerous than the first level . I suggest that we head to the third level first to search for the Dao fruit . Once we find it, our strength might increase and reach another level . Wouldn’t it be better if you came back to the second level to find your Senior Sister then?” suggested Di Jiu without hesitation .

 If Yu Qianxi did not agree, he would head up to the third level by himself . His priority was to increase his strength . He did not have enough free time to take a leisure walk with a woman unrelated to him .

 Yu Qianxi immediately realized that Di Jiu would not waste time with her on the second level once she heard what Di Jiu said . Therefore, left with no choice, she said, “We shall head to the third level then . ”

 Then, Yu Qianxi took out a bone slip made out of an unknown material and handed it over to Di Jiu . “Senior Brother Di, this slip records the location of the Dao fruit garden on the third level . I never took this out ever since I acquired it, for I originally intended to come here only when I attained the Dao Transformation . However, I believe in what Senior Brother Mo Yejiu said and agree with him that you have the capability to head to the third level . ”

Mo Yejiu had said that the person who had the strongest capability to survive in the Vast Ruins was Di Jiu . Yu Qianxi had not quite believed these words at first . However, after meeting Di Jiu, she had realized that Mo Yejiu might have been telling the truth .

 Rumor had it that Bai Changyi had headed to the Vast Ruins’ third level when he had only been at the Dao Modeling Realm . They would have no problem entering the third level so long as Di Jiu’s capability to survive in the Vast Ruins was greater than Bai Changyi’s . Di Jiu would definitely take care of her safety if she stayed by his side .

Upon accepting the bone slip, he scanned it with his Spiritual Force . The words “Vast Ruins’ third-level Dao fruit garden” were written within . The location of the garden was clearly indicated on the map .

 In truth, Di Jiu did not need to look at the location on the map, for a faint arrow appeared above the bone slip once it was taken out . Evidently, this arrow indicated the way to the Dao fruit garden .

 “Let’s go . ” Di Jiu did not return the jade slip to Yu Qianxi, as he understood what she was implying . He would be holding onto the jade slip so that he could take care of her and keep her safe as well .

 The first time he had come to the Vast Ruins, the nomological whirlpools and chaotic nomological currents of the second level had continuously created injuries on his body .

 This time, when he arrived on the second level again, nothing posed a threat to him . His Spiritual Force was able to capture the nomological whirlpools and the various nomological displacements, allowing him to evade them timely . If he was unwilling to evade them, his Nomological Qi Circulation was capable of absorbing these chaotic nomological whirlpools so that he could cultivate .

 After following Di Jiu for a day, Yu Qianxi knew that she had made the right call . She was silently astounded by how powerful Di Jiu was in the Vast Ruins .

 Upon arriving at the Vast Ruins’ second level last time, she’d had to leave that level to head back to the first level in a few days while sustaining severe injuries .

When she arrived at the second level this time, she had no intention of seeking Di Jiu’s help . However, she was shocked when she saw Di Jiu’s capabilities on the second level .

 In the Vast Ruins, there was no order to the appearance of the nomological whirlpools and fragmented nomological displacements . However, Di Jiu was still able to seek out the safest path . The only thing she had to do was follow Di Jiu . The occasional fragmented weak nomological spots they encountered could be easily dealt with by her .

 Upon glancing at Di Jiu, who was walking in front of her, she sighed . Mo Yejiu certainly had not lied to her . His words had actually been an understatement . The way Di Jiu transversed the Vast Ruins could be more accurately described as a leisurely stroll .

 She knew that Bai Changyi had not believed Mo Yejiu’s words back then . Now, she was certain that Bai Changyi’s capability to survive in the Vast Ruins was far inferior to Di Jiu’s .

 A violent roar startled Yu Qianxi out of her musings . She felt despair when she saw the incoming dense wave of Five-Element Beasts .

 They were really unlucky . It was common to encounter Five-Element Beasts in the Vast Ruins, but there would only be 100 to 200 of them on the first level . On the second level, the most they would encounter was 10 of them . The wave of Five-Element Beasts before her included at least 10,000 .

 She could still have turned around and escaped if this had happened elsewhere . However, that was now impossible since this was the Vast Ruins . Yu Qianxi looked at Di Jiu . She knew that this had nothing to do with Di Jiu’s strength, as their luck was simply terrible to say the least .

 “Are you not worried?” asked Yu Qianxi, her face deathly pale . She discovered that Di Jiu looked very calm and was drawing something in the air by using his finger .

 The laws here were far too fragmented and chaotic . Thus, she was completely unable to sense what Di Jiu was drawing in the air .

 Boom! She heard an explosion before she could receive a reply from Di Jiu . Then, the whole space shook .

 Yu Qianxi stared dumbly at the tens of thousands of Five-Element Beasts, which were blocked by a Defense Array Di Jiu had set up unknowingly .

 What stupefied her was the fact that Di Jiu rushed out of the Defense Array, unsheathing the saber weapon on his back . Then, he leaped into the Five-Element Beast swarm .

 Piercing screams could be heard . Yu Qianxi only saw glistening saber flashes that dispersed thereafter within the beast crowd .

 “What kind of supernormal ability is this exactly?” Yu Qianxi murmured as she stared at Di Jiu’s saber flare in complete astonishment .

 In order to test the Heavenly Aqua Saber he had recently refined, Di Jiu chose to not even use the Primeval Thunder Pattern . He was highly satisfied with the powerful saber . He would have no problem dealing with the Five-Element Beasts, no matter how many of them came his way, much less if a mere 10,000 of them attacked .

 When other people were in the Vast Ruins, they would tread carefully in fear of accidentally being sucked into a fragmented nomological whirlpool . Di Jiu was not concerned about that, however . He cultivated the Nomological Dao, so such a situation could not possibly occur . Even if it did, he would still be able to escape and avoid being pulverized like other cultivators given his current strength .

In other words, no one else possessed a greater capability to survive within the Vast Ruins .

 Yu Qianxi finally understood that the Defense Array setup was not meant for the two of them . It was for her only . He would not have needed a Defense Array if he had been alone .

 “So powerful!” Yu Qianxi did not know that Di Jiu was not afraid of this nomological fragment . Therefore, the impression he gave her could be summarized into two words: so powerful .
