Ninth in The World - Chapter 628

Chapter 628: Wealthy Jiang Dai

“Explode!” After throwing down the very last activation array flag, Di Jiu fled the area .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Frightening violent shockwaves exploded continuously one after another . From where he stood several kilometers away, Di Jiu could still sense the violent shaking motion of the space .

The shockwaves from space that were ripped by the explosive array landed on Di Jiu . He suspected that the only reason he survived facing these shockwaves was because of his Sacred Body .

The ground beneath his feet started to collapse . Di Jiu had no choice but to move further back .

Through his Spiritual Force, he sensed that the mountains surrounding the Dai He Hall were collapsing one after another . The tall, magnificent Dai He Hall had turned into a huge dust cloud .

Several dozens of the Dao Modeling Realm and Dao Birth Realm cultivators failed to escape . One Primordial Dao cultivator frantically attempted to flee while sustaining serious injuries . Di Jiu killed this cultivator with a slash of his saber without thinking .

This Primordial Dao cultivator had already been severely injured by the impact of the explosive chain created by the level-six explosive arrays . He was thus killed by Di Jiu easily .

At that moment, the Dai He Hall had already been reduced to rubble . Its majesty disappeared along with the architecture . Di Jiu had just put the Primordial Dao cultivator’s ring away when he looked up and stared in shock at the core of the Dai He Hall .

The Divine Spirit Qi there had almost materialized . Di Jiu sensed as many as nine supreme-grade Dao meridians with his Spiritual Force .

The rest of the Dao meridians were intact, other than the couple that had been completely destroyed .

Di Jiu took a deep breath of cold air . Just how wealthy was Jiang Dai to be able to accomplish such a feat? Di Jiu had stayed in the First Evolution Dao Sect before, which was considered one of the Five Major Sects in the Dao World . The First Evolution Dao Sect should only possess at most one or two high-grade, or perhaps middle-grade, Dao meridians underground . Here, however, there were nine supreme-grade Dao meridians . Where exactly did that bastard Jiang Dai come from that made him so heaven-defying?

Then, Di Jiu grew excited . He lifted his hand and took back the four Five-Element Flags . Sprinting into the still slightly-explosive ruins, he threw out a pile of array flags . As he waved his hands back, the Dao meridians were drawn into the Ninth World one by one .

Di Jiu killed the few cultivators who had been severely injured by the explosive array but had yet to regain their senses . He could not afford to be merciful now, regardless of whether they were innocent or not .

Di Jiu took away the Dao meridian . Then, he sensed an even more condensed Dao rune aura and an ancient scene appeared before his eyes .

That was not right . It was a diagram .

Despite his insufficient knowledge, Di Jiu recognized this item . It looked exactly the same as the taijitu[1] of Laozi[2] from the legends . At that moment, Di Jiu knew that the most valuable item of the Dai He Hall was the diagram .

This explained why the Heaven Earth Laws here were so distinct . It was due to the presence of the taijitu .

Di Jiu would certainly not let go of the opportunity to obtain such a treasure, regardless of whether it belonged to Jiang Dai or not . He frantically took out some array flags and threw them on the ground .

The numerous array flags entrapped the taijitu . Di Jiu took out the remaining four Five-Direction Flags . As he had no time to refine this taijitu, he had to take it away in the shortest time possible .

The Dai He Hall had been pulverized, and he believed that Jiang Dai had already been informed of this situation . Therefore, he needed to leave this place before Jiang Dai returned .

…

Jiang Dai spat out a mouthful of blood . He had paid a heavy price before he had been able to rip apart and dash out of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Confinement Killing Array .

He was covered in injuries, and there were some cracks in his Spiritual Sea . To make things worse, the small-sized Dao nun from the Vast Pure Sacred Sect had damaged his Dao foundation .

Jiang Dai, who had never encountered an opponent in the Dao World, finally understood just how powerful Dao Integration cultivators were . Moreover, this Dao Integration cultivator of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect was still sustaining serious injuries and she carried the aura of death . If she had been at full strength, Jiang Dai would not have had an opportunity to escape . He would only have waited for death to come .

Jiang Dai decided to never come to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect ever again before he attained the Dao Integration, as he had escaped the assassination of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Dao Integration expert .

His life was more important than the Dao fruit, no matter how great the fruit was . The destruction of his Spiritual Sea would symbolize the destruction of his future .

“Ancestral Master Yi Jin, have you fully recovered?” shouted Yuan Hui excitedly while she watched Jiang Dai escape with severe injuries .

The Dao nun waved her hand dismissively . She closed her eyes for half an hour before opening them again and saying, “This person is the most powerful Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor I have ever met . ”

Yuan Hui nodded her head . “Yes, I believe that he is already at the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm or even the half-step Dao Integration Realm . ”

Yi Jin shook her head . “No, he is only at the mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm . That is why he was so frightening . Perhaps no one in the entire Dao World will be his match when he attains the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm or the Dao Integration Realm . ”

“Ancestral Master, Jiang Dai is already severely injured . Why don’t we chase after him and kill him?” suggested a Vast Pure Sacred Sect Elder hurriedly .

Yi Jin sighed . “It’s useless . First of all, we cannot catch up to him . Even if we succeeded, we would not be able to kill him . ”

She seemed to know what the others were thinking, for she sighed again . “The Vast Pure Sacred Sect should seal its gate in case Jiang Dai recovers and comes back . ”

“Ah…”

The experts from the Vast Pure Sacred Sect looked at Yi Jin in confusion . Ancestral Master Yi Jin was at the Dao Integration Realm and had just severely injured Jiang Dai, who was running rampant in the Dao World . After battling with Yi Jin, he could only vomit blood and flee . Since the Vast Pure Sacred Sect was so formidable, why should it seal its gates?

Even if what Ancestral Master Yi Jin said was true, Jiang Dai was only at the mid-stage Primordial Chaos Realm . One would need a very long time to attain the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm from the late stage or the mid stage . Attaining the Dao Integration Realm would take even longer without a doubt .

Jiang Dai had already been at the Primordial Chaos Realm when he had exterminated the Azure Sacred Elixir Sect . So many years had passed, yet he had only attained the mid stage . Evidently, even Jiang Dai would not be able to reach the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm so quickly .

Yi Jin waved her hand . “I know what everyone is trying to say . I’m currently undergoing the Heaven Earth Colossal Degeneration without an end in sight . This time, after forcibly leaving my reclusive cultivation, I have no intention of staying in seclusion any longer . It is indeed safe to stay within the sect, but such an act has lost its meaning for me . I need to head out to transcend the degeneration . I do not know when I will return, if ever . ”

After saying that, Yi Jin became despondent as well . Looking back at the head peak of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect , she continued speaking in a softer tone . “The reason Jiang Dai has yet to attain Dao Integration or even the late-stage Primordial Chaos Realm is probably because he has intentionally chosen not to . He seems to be waiting for something . Otherwise, it would not have been difficult for him to attain the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm given the realm he is in and how complete his Dao runes are . ”

“Therefore, if you see a young genius disciple from this sect, do not let her stay in the sect forever . Only those who explore the world and put themselves to the test will become true experts . Otherwise, our status as one of the Five Major Sects would only be for show . I’m leaving . I wish all of you the best of luck . ”

Yi Jin said nothing else as she turned away and left . Soon, she disappeared from the range of everyone’s Spiritual Force .

…

At the entrance of the Vast Ruins, Jiang Dai spat out a mouthful of blood .

He was indeed not afraid that the Vast Pure Sacred Sect would chase him . However, when he saw that there was no one standing guard outside the entrance of the Vast Ruins, he could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood, thus aggravating his injuries .

The guarding cultivator he had left behind here would definitely not have dared to leave this place without receiving any orders . Since the cultivator had disappeared, it only meant that the guard had been killed .

Who would dare to kill one of his people? Probably only Di Jiu, that crazy weakling, would .

Di Jiu, I, Jiang Dai, swear to capture and slowly torture you…

Then, Jiang Dai suddenly looked up in the direction of the Dai He Hall . A moment later, his face turned pale .

“You dare…” said Jiang Dai before spitting out another mouthful of blood . He had actually sensed that someone had leveled his nest . This was something unimaginable, as no one would dare to do so .

Jiang Dai took out a positioning transmitter talisman before remembering that he was in the Vast Ruins . If he wished to activate this talisman to head back to the Dai He Hall, he would have to leave the range of the Vast Ruins first .
