Chapter 781: Returning to Heaven’s Beyond
When Di Jiu opened his eyes, his understanding of the Array Dao had been completely elevated to a whole new level, as though a paper-thin barrier had been ripped open.
Di Jiu stood back up. He knew that his Array Dao had finally broken through and attained the rank of a level-seven Divine Array Emperor.
Stopping his moment of insight, the surrounding Dao rune aura instantly dissipated.
“Congratulations on your great improvement, Brother Di.” Qian Fuyan hastily congratulated Di Jiu, sensing that Di Jiu had made a new breakthrough. However, he could only sense the changes in the Heaven Earth Dao runes and did not know that this was specifically related to his Array Dao. This was because Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao and his Dao runes were similar to the surrounding Heaven Earth Laws.
“Let’s go. We can open the Chakra-Severing Eye now.” Di Jiu clapped Qian Fuyan on the shoulder.
Qian Fuyan had merits, as he knew this place well.
“Yes, let me bring both of you over, Brother Di and Junior Sister Yu.” Qian Fuyan felt energized, as leaving the Land of Seven Chakras was the most important thing to him.
He had been trapped inside the Land of Seven Chakras for an unknown number of years, but he finally had the opportunity to leave today.
…
The Land of Seven Chakras contained a total of seven Chakra Provinces. Di Jiu had never been to the other Chakra Provinces, including the Central Chakra City.
However, he was in the mood to visit the other Chakra Provinces. The Land of Seven Chakras looked the same everywhere and exuded the same dim, suffocating aura.
The three of them walked for three days before Qian Fuyan finally stopped.
Di Jiu was surprised to see an inclining galaxy.
The very first cultivation technique he had cultivated was the Galaxy Art. It was only because he had opened the Starry Sky meridian with the help of the Ninth Dao Law that he had converted it into the Starry Sky Art. Later on, he had learned about the nomological cultivation technique in a moment of insight and had thus started cultivating the Nomological Dao.
His Starry Sky meridian had been constructed using numerous galaxies. The galaxy before him had been constructed using an incomplete mountain range. It was stuck into the ground in a slanted manner, so it appeared to be floating in the air from afar.
However, Di Jiu felt that this galaxy had not been constructed using a mountain range and had been condensed into this shape in time.
“This is the Chakra-Severing Eye, Brother Di. This inclining mountain valley is the border of the Chakra-Severing Eye. One needs the Chakra-Severing Eye array disc in order to rip apart this place. Then, a level-seven Divine Array needs to be set up to rip open the realm,” explained Qian Fuyan respectfully.
In his opinion, Di Jiu’s strength was extremely profound. After all, Mo Ge had spent many years trying to ambush him and had even secretly set up Seven Spatial Sealing Divine Arrays.
If Qian Fuyan had been alone, it would have been extremely difficult for him to escape from the bindings of the Seven Spatial Sealing Divine Arrays even if he had not suffered any severe injuries.
However, Di Jiu had only used one saber move to successfully rip open the Seven Spatial Sealing Divine Arrays Mo Ge had spent so many years setting up. As for the several hundreds of cultivators surrounding them, the only thing Di Jiu had done was take out the Reincarnation Bridge.
Qian Fuyan did not even get the chance to see what Di Jiu’s trump card was. By then, Di Jiu had already finished dealing with Mo Ge and the surviving cultivators had fled.
“Good.” Di Jiu took out the Chakra-Severing Eye array disc and threw out several dozens of array flags.
When the Chakra-Severing Eye array disc was activated, the surrounding space seemed to become unstable. Di Jiu kept throwing out array flags as he started to set up the Realm-Severing Major Array.
Qian Fuyan stared at Di Jiu’s movements without blinking. However, he soon discovered that he could not understand the method and position Di Jiu was placing the array flags in at all.
Di Jiu had just become a level-seven Divine Array Emperor, but this was not the first time he was setting up a level-seven Divine Array.
One hour passed and Di Jiu suddenly made some complicated activation hand seals. The space instantly convoluted, emitting a deep rumbling sound.
Di Jiu ripped the void open without hesitation, producing a giant black hole. He then hollered, “Leave now!”
Di Jiu did not need to remind them, for Qian Fuyan and Yu Xiangbing had already sprinted out.
He stretched his hand out and took the Chakra-Severing Eye array disc away with him as he ran out. A moment later, the spatial rift created by Di Jiu disappeared without a trace.
…
The spatial fluctuations stopped. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force immediately sensed Yu Xiangbing and Qian Fuyan, who had stopped a fair distance away.
Upon seeing Di Jiu coming over, Yu Xiangbing and Qian Fuyan quickly approached him. Qian Fuyan said excitedly, “Thank you, Brother Di. I never thought that I would live to see the daylight again.”
Qian Fuyan bowed before Di Jiu, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation. When he was in the Land of Seven Chakras, his cultivation and Dao were restricted. However, once he left the land, he believed that he would be able to quickly attain the third step once more.
Di Jiu waved his hand dismissively. “The merit of being able to leave hugely goes to you. We would not have been able to leave if we did not have your major array jade slip and the Chakra-Severing Eye array disc.”
Qian Fuyan was aware of his contribution but knew that he would not have been able to leave if he had not handed these items to Di Jiu. Mo Ge would have successfully ambushed him, regardless of whether he became a level-seven Divine Array Emperor or not.
“Brother Qian, what are your plans from now on?” Di Jiu wanted to head to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, but he had never been to his current location so he did not know how far away he was from the Beyond of Heaven and Earth. He did not bother asking Qian Fuyan, as the latter would definitely be ignorant given how long the man had been trapped in the Land of Seven Chakras.
Qian Fuyan was still in a state of excitement. Upon hearing Di Jiu’s inquiry, he hurriedly answered, “My current cultivation level is still insufficient, so I plan to follow you for a while before seeking out a place to enter reclusive cultivation.”
Di Jiu was very amused, as he knew what Qian Fuyan was implying. After seeing how astonishing his strength was, Qian Fuyan had developed a sense of fear for the outside world. In fact, a mid-stage Dao Integration cultivator was already considered a top-notch expert, but Qian Fuyan was not aware of this. He had been trapped in the Land of Seven Chakras for too long. Furthermore, he had been repeatedly injured by Di Jiu and Mo Ge had also plotted against him, causing him not to feel confident.
This lack of confidence was the reason Qian Fuyan wanted to accompany Di Jiu to observe what was happening in the outside world.
Di Jiu nodded. “Let us head to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth then. It is just that I do not know which way leads to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth.”
Yu Xiangbing, who was beside him, hastily said, “I know the way, Big Brother Di. I have been here once. This place is called the Star Rift Ridge…”
“How do you know that this place is the Star Rift Ridge?” Di Jiu looked at Yu Xiangbing in confusion.
Yu Xiangbing pointed somewhere far away and explained, “Big Brother Di, look over there. You should see two faintly-glowing stars. These stars can only be seen in one place: the Star Rift Ridge.”
Upon looking at where she was pointing, Di Jiu saw two faintly-glowing stars shaped like semicircles.
“How long does it take to travel to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth from this place?” Di Jiu perked up. His greatest worry was that he would not be able to find the way to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth. It would be easy now that they knew the right direction.
“It would take six days if we had supreme-grade flying divine weapons,” answered Yu Xiangbing.
Di Jiu was overjoyed, for he had one in his possession.
…
Five days passed before Di Jiu’s flying Dharma treasure stopped at the square outside the Beyond of Heaven and Earth.
Di Jiu communicated with his four Five-Element Flags using his Spiritual Force immediately, getting the assurance he needed.
The last time Di Jiu had come, this place had been very lively and packed with people. Today, he saw no one else except for a Primordial Dao cultivator guarding the array door.
“It’s you…” The Primordial Dao cultivator was terrified when he saw Di Jiu appear. He instantly moved to send a message out.
Everyone in the Beyond of Heaven and Earth had heard of Di Jiu. He had killed a Dao Integration cultivator and had casually walked away despite being besieged by Nuo La and his subordinates. The Primordial Dao cultivator knew that he was nothing in comparison to Di Jiu’s strength.
Di Jiu lifted his hand immediately and punched him, killing the Primordial Dao cultivator with one strike before the latter could send the message out.
This was Di Jiu’s second time here, and he was not in a good mood like last time. This Primordial Dao cultivator was clearly Nuo La’s subordinate. Today, Di Jiu had no intention of letting Nuo La and anyone else who was involved with him off.
After killing the Primordial Dao guard with one punch, Di Jiu stepped through the array door.
Qian Fuyan and Yu Xiangbing followed him without hesitation. Di Jiu activated one Five-Element Flag, sealing the array door to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth
