Ninth In the World - Chapter 904

Explosions were constantly heard outside the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array, making all the Sect Masters and a few Court Masters of the Great Ultimate Dao Court gathered at the Starry Sky Saber Sect feel restless.

The Great Ultimate Dao Court had been established recently. Although they had some cultivator armies, they would practically have a death wish if these cultivator armies were to deal with third-step experts.

After Di Jiu killed the four cultivators of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, the explosions outside the Defense Array completely stopped.

A few seconds later, Ren Jisha suddenly said loudly, “Could Dao Lord have come back? So…”

Except for Great Array Sect Master He Yi, everyone looked at Ren Jisha dumbly. Dao Lord Di was indeed formidable. Nevertheless, he couldn’t have contended against a third-step expert, let alone against more than one.

Even though Ren Jisha was very thankful and admired Di Jiu, that couldn’t have happened, right?

He Yi said, “I think that what Deputy Sect Master Ren said might be true. The Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array is incomparably strong thanks to the Dao Lord. If anyone wants to attack the Great Ultimate Realm’s Protection Array, they will have to attack it continuously. This is also why someone continuously attacked the Great Ultimate Realm for hundreds of years without stopping. If they had stopped, the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array would have automatically restored itself. In that case, what they had done would have gone down the drain…”

As a top-notch Divine Array King, He Yi vaguely sensed Di Jiu’s Five-Element Flags. Without the Five-Element Flags, the Great Ultimate Realm could not have persisted to this day.

When the Five-Element Flags coordinated with each other, it was very hard to break through the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array. This was because the Five-Element Flags could raise the level of a Dharma Array and also automatically restore the Defense Array. After all, the Five-Element Flags were connate treasures. Such connate treasures naturally restored the Defense Array in an extraordinary manner. Meanwhile, third-step experts were attacking the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array. If there had only been second-step experts, He Yi did not believe that they could have broken this Defense Array.

However, the Five-Element Flags were really precious so he didn’t mention that.

Fang Jianxi immediately understood and looked at He Yi in pleasant surprise. “Court Master He, you mean…”

Before Fang Jianxi could finish his sentence, He Yi responded, “Protector Fang should have guessed that I mean that the Bei Family would never stop attacking the Defense Array unless they gave up seeking revenge on the Great Ultimate Realm. This is because once they stop attacking, the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array will rapidly restore itself. Given the Bei Family’s temperament, they definitely wouldn’t suddenly give up their hundreds of years of hard work. The only possibility is that someone blocked the Bei Family’s attacks on the Great Ultimate Realm.

“There are a few people who could stop the Bei Family’s attacks on the Great Ultimate Realm, but perhaps only Dao Lord Di would be willing to do that for the Great Ultimate Realm.”

“Ha ha ha…” Ren Jisha laughed and said, “Yes, yes. That’s what I meant, but I didn’t figure it out as thoroughly as Court Master He.”

Before the rest could speak, Di Jiu’s voice was heard. “That’s not a bad guess. The cultivators from the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean wanted to break the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array, so I killed them. You guys have been working hard these days.”

Di Jiu’s words made everyone get excited. They had been about to die at first. They hadn’t expected that as soon as the Dao Lord returned, things would be easily resolved. As for killing the experts of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean, nobody had thought of that. They had nearly died, so who would still think about those experts’ fates?

A few Sect Masters hurriedly bowed to thank him. They now understood how important a powerful Dao Lord was to a realm. It was no wonder that the Great Change Realm and the Great Simplicity Realm had developed so quickly. This was because nobody dared to trample on their territory at will.

Fang Jianxi quickly stepped forward and said, “Greetings, Dao Lord. We did not have a hard time. Even though we talked every day, nothing came out of it. At the very most, we would throw the baby out with the bathwater when it came to the Bei Family. On the contrary, once the Dao Lord returned, you had to go to a lot of trouble to think of battle tactics.”

Di Jiu immediately asked, “Protector Fang, do you know where the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean is?”

As soon as Di Jiu asked that, everyone breathed in cold air. Clearly, Di Jiu would not let this matter rest. He had asked this because he wanted to go to the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean to seek revenge.

This was probably the first time they were seeing someone go to the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean to seek revenge after killing the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean’s cultivators.

A few cultivators wanted to persuade Di Jiu against this, but they swallowed their words.

If Di Jiu hadn’t come back and the Great Ultimate Realm had been refined, they would have died. Since they were alive, why couldn’t Di Jiu go over and seek revenge? At most, they would die some other time if they couldn’t beat the Bei Family.

If the Dao Lord was not afraid, why should they be afraid?

Fang Jianxi shook his head. “Besides the people of the Bei Family, I’m afraid nobody else knows about it. In fact, even the disciples kicked out of the Bei Family have never revealed the location of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean.”

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu looked at everyone. He immediately knew that everyone should really not know where the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean was.

Since Di Jiu didn’t want to waste time on the Dao Court, he said right away, “Protector Fang, Protector Ren, five Court Masters… I’ll leave the Great Ultimate Dao Court to you guys. I need to enter seclusion for a certain period.”

Di Jiu had to enter seclusion. He had a few rings that had belonged to the Bei Family’s disciples and he wanted to refine them and see whether he could discover the location of the Supreme Bei Celestial Ocean. Apart from those rings, there was also a Heaven Earth Quintessential World that he needed to refine as soon as possible. If there were cultivators from the Heaven Earth Realm inside it, he would let these people enter the Great Ultimate Realm to survive.

Upon hearing that Di Jiu wanted to enter seclusion, everyone naturally didn’t object. The few Court Masters and Protectors had done their best during the attack of the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array this time. They couldn’t wait for Di Jiu to hand those things over to them so that Di Jiu knew that they were good-for-nothings.

…

When Nong Xiuqi opened her eyes, she found out that she was lying on a jade bed. Shocked, she leaped up before she realized in shock that her soul had been completely restored and lacked impurities.

How could this be possible?

She had ignited her soul, which was supposed to be irreversible forever. How could it have been restored? How could she seem unaffected? Could she have been reincarnated?

Very soon, she dismissed that thought. When she saw the clothes she was wearing, she felt ice-cold all over. Her clothes had been changed…

Nong Xiuqi forcibly calmed herself down and looked up, only to see something that made her freeze. Supreme-grade and high-grade divine spirit meridians were piled like a mountain, and high-grade divine crystals formed a huge peak.

Besides those things, she actually saw a Creation Wood. Of course, she naturally knew all about the Creation Wood, which was a legendary item. Why had it appeared before her?

Then, she saw Lightning, who was sleeping on the Creation Wood. When she sensed the aura on Lightning, her scalp started to become numb. She was sure that this was a leviathan divine beast. Such a divine beast could kill her if it yawned.

When Nong Xiuqi woke up, she scanned Lightning’s side and it woke up. Upon seeing that she had woken up, it eagerly flew over.

Nong Xiuqi wanted to grab its Dharma treasure but didn’t have a ring now.

When she closed her eyes in despair, Lightning said in a flattering tone, “Mistress, you’ve finally woken up. Master came to see you all the time.”

“Mistress? Master?” Nong Xiuqi looked at the divine beast in front of her in confusion. The divine beast had spoken in a very flattering tone. Clearly, it wouldn’t devour her.

Lightning responded in an even more flattering tone, “Master went to great lengths to take me along everywhere. Ultimately, he managed to obtain a Two-Realm Fruit for you. He used the Quintessential Essence of the Universe to cleanse your marrow. Now that you’re awake, Master will definitely be very happy.”

It seemed to have felt that it had not described this clearly, so Lightning hurriedly added, “It’s normal that you don’t recognize me, Mistress. I was taken in by my Master later on. Because of my excellent aptitude, my Master thought highly of me.”

Nong Xiuqi grew increasingly colder. Could this Master have taken a fancy to her and confined her in this Quintessential World?

That was not right. This didn’t seem like a Quintessential World.
