Ninth In the World

Di Jiu stared at the small gray stone in his hand in shock. He had never expected that this small gray stone would be a fragment of the Universe Membrane. This was why the Golden Dao Law had chosen to live in the Membrane fragment.

The Golden Dao Law within the Membrane fragment was probably one of the most valuable treasures in the universe. However, since it did not belong to him, he had no reason to treat it like a precious possession.

Di Jiu had just thought of this when he saw some thin golden waves spread out of the Golden Dao Law within the Fetal Membrane. Due to the influence of these waves, the space in front of Di Jiu became crystal-clear in an instant and the entrance to the Five Continent Dao Pagoda appeared before him. The entrance was originally tightly shut. However, when the golden waves landed on the shut entrance, the door to the Five Continent Dao Pagoda opened.

Di Jiu, who was pleased, dashed into the Five Continent Dao Pagoda by taking a few steps. When he opened his palm, the small gray stone returned to the recesses of his Spiritual Sea.

This time, no one would know which level he climbed up to, so he would rush up without any inhibitions.

Di Jiu quickly reached the 91st level, as he had already gained insight into the Five Continent Dao Pagoda’s Foundation Order on the first 90 levels. His objective for coming to the Five Continent Dao Pagoda this time was simply to gain insight into the Foundation Orders of all the pagoda levels.

The 92nd level, the 93rd level…

Di Jiu skipped over levels, regardless of whether they were ideal for cultivating or body-tempering. His body was at the Spirit Realm, which was the optimum level he could reach while cultivating by using the Heaven Saber Sect’s Colossal Kun Art Schema.

He had to be influenced by higher Laws of Heaven and Earth before his body could reach an even higher level. Therefore, his Tempered Body would make a breakthrough only when he entered the Immortal World.

In just a few days, Di Jiu arrived at the 106th level. Although the 106th level was a Spiritual Force tempering level, it was still useless to him.

His Spiritual Force had exceeded level ten and attained a higher level. It would be almost impossible for his Spiritual Force to break through to level twelve, even if he stayed on the 106th level for a few years and tempered his Spiritual Force.

Di Jiu believed that it was not due to his luck or the Spiritual Force Training Art that his Spiritual Force had been able to attain level eleven. In his opinion, the credit belonged to the Primeval Thunder Rock within the Thunder Canyon.

The Primeval Thunder Rock contained a Law aura that surpassed the Cultivation World. His Spiritual Sea had been at the peak of level ten, so his Spiritual Force had broken through to level eleven when he had attained the True Form Realm.

Di Jiu passed the 107th level, the 108th level…

A dense Spirit Qi filled with distinct Laws surged at him the moment he stepped onto the 108th level. Meanwhile, a violent pushing force assaulted him. Di Jiu suppressed his excitement and started to gain insight into the Foundation Order on this level.

He had already decided to stay on this level and cultivate for a period of time. Cultivating there would have a much better effect than remaining within the spirit stone mine or hiding amongst a pile of spirit meridians.

When Di Jiu gained insight into the 108th Five Continent Dao Pagoda’s Foundation Order, his Spiritual Sea suddenly expanded once again. All the divine powers and magic techniques he had gained insight into before became more comprehensive.

Di Jiu casually made a hand seal. A Primeval Thunder Pattern suddenly exploded a distance away. The Spirit Qi in the air fluctuated violently and the entire space started vibrating.

This was good stuff! Di Jiu was extremely pleased.

He knew that after he gained insight into the 108th Foundation Order of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda, his understanding of divine powers and techniques would be faster and more comprehensive, even if he no longer possessed that Golden Dao Law. The Primeval Thunder Pattern he had just executed, for example, was much more powerful than it had been when he had just learned it.

When Di Jiu started to investigate the 108th level, he quickly saw a seal floating on that level. The seal, which was emitting a faint yellow glow, was only the size of a palm. When Di Jiu walked over and reached out, the seal landed on his palm.

A sweep of his Spiritual Force informed him that this was an extremely ordinary seal. The words “Five Continent Seal” were engraved on its bottom.

Di Jiu placed the seal in the Quintessential World. He did not know if Di Feixue would still be able to refine the Five Continent Dao Pagoda after coming to this level if he took the seal.

However, he did not plan on leaving the Five Continent Seal there, regardless of whether he could refine it or not.

He refined two array discs once more, intending to let Di Di and Tian Ku out so they could cultivate with him there. However, after refining the array discs, Di Jiu realized that he could not let the two of them out. Even he could not enter the Quintessential World there. At the upper level of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda, his Quintessential World was a mere ring.

Di Jiu was not concerned about that. Di Di and Tian Ku’s cultivation levels were still too low, so their cultivating location would make no difference. The Law aura and the dense Dao runes on the 108th level of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda created a suitable cultivating environment for him to increase his cultivation in the shortest time possible.

He did not need to set up a Spirit Gathering Array. The moment he started circulating the Galaxy Art, a dense Spirit Gathering Array that contained clear Laws enveloped him completely.

Di Jiu knew very well that it would be challenging to raise his cultivation level after attaining the True Form Realm. However, increasing his cultivation level there did not seem very difficult.

In just three months, he attained the second-stage True Form Realm and started to attempt to break through to the third-stage True Form Realm.

Di Jiu attained the third-stage True Form Realm a year later.

…

The Qin Qian Mountain Range ¹ was a mountain range relatively well-known in the Small Central World. The scenery was beautiful, and the mountains were interconnected. There were no signs of human habitation for miles. Logically speaking, such a spacious area would be the most ideal place to build one’s sect.

However, for many years, no sect had chosen to build its base there.

This was not because there was no Spirit Qi around, but because the Spirit Qi there was extremely impure. No cultivator or demon beast could stay there and cultivate.

Impure Spirit Qi was not suitable for cultivation or for growing spiritual objects.

It was said that, in ancient times, a top-notch sect called the Royal Qin Sect had stood on the Qin Qian Mountain Range. When the Cultivation World had descended into chaos, the Royal Qin Sect had been eradicated. The eight supreme-grade spirit meridians of the sect had also been taken away by someone.

Therefore, in order to build a sect on the Qin Qian Mountain Range, one had to first implant eight supreme-grade spirit meridians. The goal was to gather Spirit Qi from Heaven and Earth and transform this impure spiritual land into a treasured cultivating ground.

The resources of the Cultivation World were scarce now. It was not an easy feat to obtain eight low-grade spirit meridians, let alone eight supreme-grade spirit meridians, which probably existed only in people’s imagination.

Huan Mingzi had first thought of the Qin Qian Mountain Range when Di Jiu had asked him to find a place to build a sect. Huan Mingzi knew that this was an ideal place, but he was also aware that it was impossible to obtain eight supreme-grade spirit meridians. Therefore, if he obtained a supreme-grade spirit meridian, he intended to split it into eight segments. This method would ensure that he would be able to build the sect on the Qin Qian Mountain Range.

However, Huan Mingzi had not expected that Di Jiu would give him 10 supreme-grade spirit meridians. There was no reason to worry when he had so many supreme-grade spirit meridians on hand.

Although he had yet to implant the spirit meridians into the Qin Qian Mountain Range, the Galaxy Sect had already started to exude the atmosphere required of a sect. As a former third Pavilion Lord of the Prophecy Pavilion, Huan Mingzi had some connections in many commercial buildings. Naturally, a few commercial buildings had been aiding him ever since he had announced that he would be building a sect.

…

Cultivation knew no time. Thus, Di Jiu was completely immersed in frantically advancing his cultivation realm. Two years passed by in a flash.

When Di Jiu opened his eyes again, he was already at the fourth-stage True Form Realm. He could not continue cultivating, for the Five Continent Dao Pagoda would be opening again soon.

Di Jiu took the Foundation Order he had gained insight into from his surroundings. The powerful force swamped him and he landed on the Five Continent Square in a moment. His Spiritual Force sensed Di Feixue almost instantly. Di Feixue seemed to be purchasing something at a commercial building. Her cultivation had already reached the second-stage Life Tribulation Realm, most likely due to the benefits she had gained from the Small Central Planet.

Di Jiu took out his communication pearl to send Huan Mingzi a message and discovered that he had more than a dozen messages. They had all been sent by Huan Mingzi.

The last message, which had been sent three days ago, stated that the experts from the Genesis Sect, the Mirage Sword Sect and the Ocean Monarch Palace had paid a visit to the Galaxy Sect with unknown intentions.

Di Jiu dared not delay. After casting the Spiritual Force escape technique, he immediately arrived outside the Galaxy Sect.
