Ninth In the World

Di Jiu soon focused on the divine spirit herb garden. His biggest worry was not whether there were Two-Realm Flowers in the divine spirit herb garden, but whether the Two-Realm Flowers had withered in the garden.

He had just come from the Lost Dao World. Even though the Lost Dao World had a lot of good stuff, it was still a Chaotic Spirit Plant World and a Taoist realm, all of which were dead. The conditions in this place should be a bit better than in the Lost Dao World and the Taoist Realm. Although it was between the two realms, it was a place with life-force, no matter how weak this life-force was.

Something was wrong. Di Jiu suddenly turned his head to look at Dao Lord Indefinite, who was sitting in front of the divine spirit herb garden. After so many years in the Lost Dao World, many third-step experts would not die of old age. Furthermore, there was no life-force there. Dao Lord Indefinite was considered a perfected second-step expert, even if he wasn’t a third-step expert. How could he have died of old age? Had his lifespan been burned away?

Although he had clearly died of old age, it didn’t look like his lifespan had been burned away.

At this thought, Di Jiu heard an old man’s laughter in his Spiritual Sea. “Ha ha ha ha…”

Was he possessed? Di Jiu shook his head speechlessly. Someone wanted to possess him.

“I really hate the sissy man with the English mustache. You’re more to my taste. Not bad. I’m lucky…” A faint Principal Spirit shadow had appeared in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea.

Di Jiu was very puzzled. “How did you enter my Spiritual Sea?”

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, so he could sense any fluctuations in the law. However, this Principal Spirit shadow had managed to enter his Spiritual Sea and puzzle him as to what was going on. If his Spiritual Sea was so easily invaded, would he still have been where he was today?

“Huh? You’re not afraid of being possessed?” The Principal Spirit shadow was startled. Then, a violent soul aura tried to gain control over Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea and devour his Principal Spirit.

A moment later, he was dumbfounded. Stunned, he asked, “What kind of Spiritual Sea is this? What about your Principal Spirit?”

Di Jiu’s Void Mountain turned into a shadow of a peak and crushed downward. The Principal Spirit shadow panicked and wanted to flee, but this was Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea. He had come in using certain means. Therefore, it was unlikely that he would get out easily.

Boom! The Void Mountain blasted the Principal Spirit shadow, which was swept out before becoming dim. On the other hand, the Void Mountain followed it relentlessly and crushed the Principal Spirit shadow.

“Stop, stop…” The Principal Spirit shadow cried eagerly. He knew very well that Di Jiu had no intention of killing him. Otherwise, the Void Mountain would have killed him the first time.

If he had known that Di Jiu had Connate treasures, he wouldn’t have come to possess him. Those who possessed other people were the most worried about Connate treasures, as Connate treasures had a Connate restraint on the soul and could be used in the Spiritual Sea casually. Once they encountered a Connate treasure, possessing someone would have a 50-percent failure rate.

Thanks to Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force handprint, he easily grabbed this person out of his Spiritual Sea and threw him ahead.

The Principal Spirit shadow who had tried to possess Di Jiu felt the surrounding space completely freeze. He looked at Di Jiu with a sigh and said, “You’re the first cultivator I’ve met who can condense the Spiritual Force handprint in the Spiritual Sea.”

Di Jiu laughed secretly. Even if he could not condense the Spiritual Force handprint, he still wanted to kill this Principal Spirit shadow with his nomological array flags or Dharma treasures. Even without refining the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, he could crush this person with one stroke.

“Tell me, how did you get into my Spiritual Sea?” Di Jiu asked, looking at the Principal Spirit shadow. If he didn’t figure this out, he would not feel at ease.

“I have a heaven-opening treasure fragment…” The Principal Spirit shadow seemed to know that he couldn’t hide it, so a fingernail-sized fragment suddenly appeared on top of his head.

When Di Jiu reached out and grabbed that fragment, a vast aura immediately enveloped him, causing him to feel shocked. He was sure that this was definitely not a Connate treasure fragment. None of the many Connate treasures on him could be compared to this fragment.

He actually sensed an aura in this fragment that was vaster than his Ninth World. It seemed a bit funny to him, but it actually was.

What was this?

The Principal Spirit shadow, who had been enveloped by Di Jiu in the void, sighed and said, “Without this, I’m afraid my lifespan would have really run out. I don’t know what this is either. After I obtained it, I came to the space between the two realms. With this fragment, I could easily enter your Spiritual Sea. However, your Spiritual Sea is too powerful, so I can’t come out at the moment…”

Di Jiu’s intent landed on the fragment. After just a few counts, he removed the remnant Dao force on this fragment before he scanned it with his Spiritual Force. This fragment landed on his Spiritual Sea, beside the Book of the World.

Immediately, Di Jiu was shocked to see an extra page at the front of the Book of the World. It spelled the words: Creation Jade Dish Remnant Fragment.

Creation Jade Dish? He seemed to have heard of this before. It should be a treasure on the same level as the complete Chaos Green Lotus, right?

“You’re Dao Lord Indefinite?” Di Jiu didn’t bother thinking about the Creation Jade Dish. Instead, he focused on the Principal Spirit shadow.

The Principal Spirit shadow quickly answered, “Yes, I am Dao Lord Indefinite. My body has been assailed by the Dao runes of the corpse poison all year round. It looks perfect on the surface, but it is actually useless. As a result, I couldn’t help but want to possess you.”

Di Jiu said with a sneer, “You are also an ancient expert. Don’t you even have a treasure to restore your physical body? What about the Two-Realm Flowers? What about the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus?”

This was what Di Jiu was most concerned about. If Dao Lord Indefinite didn’t have the Two-Realm Flowers, he would be very disappointed after searching for such a long time.

Dao Lord Indefinite hurriedly explained, “I don’t have a physical body, so the Two-Realm Flowers are useless to me. If I had the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus, I would not have ended up like this.”

“Open the divine spirit herb garden!” Di Jiu shouted. He was in no mood to talk with Dao Lord Indefinite anymore.

Dao Lord Indefinite opened the herb garden as he trembled in fear. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the herb garden, but he was immediately disappointed. There were only a few living divine spirit herbs, which were all trash. There were no Two-Realm Flowers.

“Daoist, do you want the Two-Realm Flowers?” Based on Di Jiu’s tone, Dao Lord Indefinite felt vaguely that Di Jiu needed those flowers. He knew that this was his only chance to live, even if it was very uncertain. He had to give it a try.

Di Jiu stared at Dao Lord Indefinite’s Principal Spirit and said indifferently, “You still have a chance to live. Give me the Two-Realm Flowers. Otherwise, I won’t have time to talk to you.”

“If I give you the Two-Realm Flowers, you will definitely let me off?” Dao Lord Indefinite’s voice trembled. The more he lived, the more afraid he was.

Di Jiu took a breath and slowly said, “As long as you hand over the Two-Realm Flowers, I promise to let you off this once without pulling any tricks. As for your fragment, consider it compensation for plotting against me. The Two-Realm Flowers will be the price you’ll pay to live.”

“What about my Indefinite Ocean?” Dao Lord Indefinite hurriedly asked. As long as his Indefinite Ocean was still there, he would still be a complete person after he recovered.

Di Jiu sneered. “I won’t touch your Indefinite Ocean.”

“Alright, I’ll take you there. I know where the Two-Realm Flowers are. However, they can’t be cultivated through the divine spirit herb garden. That sissy lied to you,” Dao Lord Indefinite said without hesitation but did not request anything.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “You’re a clever one. Lead the way.”

Dao Lord Indefinite was indeed a wise man. He knew very well that, given his current situation, he did not have any right to threaten Di Jiu. He would rather take out his own stuff. If Di Jiu still wanted to kill him in the end, he could only believe he was unlucky. If Di Jiu was a big-hearted person, maybe he could survive.

He believed that Di Jiu would not kill him based on his judgment after living for so many years. Di Jiu should be looking for the Two-Realm Flowers to save someone. He had come to the space between the two realms to do that, which showed that he was not nasty.
