Ninth In the World

The spatial rift that he ripped apart closed up just as Di Jiu rushed into it.

Di Jiu quickly left an imprint at his original place and condensed nomological forces with both hands, tearing it back.

The spatial rift that had been ripped apart by him earlier was now stable. Even though Di Jiu used a stronger Immortal Essence force this time, he could not rip the rift apart at all.

Although he had expected that this might be the outcome, Di Jiu was still unwilling to concede defeat. It was way harder to rip apart a low-level realm to a high-level realm compared to ripping apart a high-level realm to a low-level realm.

Moreover, Di Jiu knew very well that the realm he was in was not considered a true high-level realm. It was only a void interlayer from the Immortal World to the Upper Realm. However, he still could not rip it apart.

It looked like he would only stand a chance to rip this Void Realm apart after he became a perfected Immortal Emperor.

When he was done with all the imprints at his location, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force extended without holding back. He was sure that Qi Jun, who had been seriously injured by his saber move in the past, was certainly still in this interlayer. He could not go to the real high-level realm.

The void interlayer was filled with dullness and gloominess all over. Endless blade flares and some spatial chaos mixed everywhere. However, these spatial blade flares and spatial chaos did not have much of an effect on Di Jiu’s body.

The entire space between the two realms was filled with endless spatial chaos, blade flares, the meteorite in between the two realms, and some unknown things. He only saw haze and sand through his Spiritual Force.

Di Jiu was fast and his Spiritual Force was not largely affected. On the contrary, he could still temper his Spiritual Force here.

The void interlayer between the two realms carried a kind of laceration wind. For a perfected Divine Body like Di Jiu’s, it was even more suitable to temper his Spiritual Force and not his body.

Several months flew by. Not only did Di Jiu not find Qi Jun’s Spiritual Force imprint, but there were also no traces of human cultivators.

Maybe other cultivators had come here before but, under such poor conditions, they had most likely not survived without a valiant Tempered Body like Di Jiu’s.

Di Jiu searched for the Spiritual Force imprint in the interlayer of the two realms as usual but was blocked by a huge mountain.

Although he stood underneath the huge mountain, there were no strong winds or spatial chaos. This towering giant repelled all the strong winds and spatial chaos outside.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was stopped once it permeated this towering, huge mountain.

However, Di Jiu could sense extremely mysterious, esoteric Dao rune auras and endless experts’ divine power imprints.

What kind of mountain was this? Did it exist in the interlayer of the two realms?

Di Jiu only hesitated for a moment before he escaped into the mountain.

He sensed that he was in the illusion once he entered the mountain. There was no whistling of strong winds or spatial chaos in the surroundings, only all sorts of Dao rune divine power imprint corrosions.

Di Jiu had a feeling that if he dared to enter deep into this huge mountain, he would face dangers hundreds of times worse than the one between the two realms.

In fact, given the Nomological Qi Circulation he cultivated and his strong Tempered Body, he was not in much danger between these two realms.

Once he entered this illusory huge mountain, he would very likely perish among all sorts of Dao trace corrosion.

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Qi Circulation and analyzed all the law origins in the universe. He naturally knew that such corrosion of Dao traces was definitely not left behind by an Immortal World expert.

This also meant that those who came to this mountain were almighty people much stronger than the experts of the Immortal World. However, for some reason, they landed in between the interlayer of the two realms.

The entire mountain peak was filled with Dao traces of aura. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could not permeate it completely, and he slowed down his pace since it was very dangerous there.

After dozens of steps, Di Jiu bent down to pick up a broken sword.

Di Jiu had never cultivated the Sword Dao but had come across top-notch Saber Dao experts. In the Cultivation World, he had come across Dong Youjian, whose Sword Dao was unique and who had formed a sword array. His power was far above the power of the people of the same cultivation realm. Di Jiu had learned his saber array from Dong Youjian’s Sword Dao.

If his Blacksmith Dao had caught up afterward and he had not altered his cultivation technique into the Nomological Qi Circulation, his saber array might have been a huge killing weapon by this point.

Since his Nomological Qi Circulation killed those of the same cultivation realm and he was always in a rush, he did not stop to analyze the saber array to the extent that it had been laid aside ever since he’d entered the Immortal World.

Apart from Dong Youjian, there was also Zhou Bujian. Zhou Bujian’s Sword Dao was equally terrifying, but no matter how terrifying it was, it could not be compared to the half-broken sword in front of him.

This half-broken sword had been left here for many years. However, the sword intent on it was still surging as it rushed out wave after wave.

Di Jiu’s body was valiant but if it had been any weaker, the half-broken sword that he had picked up would probably have ripped apart his body into fragments with its remnant sword intent.

It was so powerful! This was the only thought he had.

Di Jiu did not throw away this broken sword. Instead, he enveloped it with a restriction before putting it in a jade box. He had little use for it, as his Saber Dao came from his Nomological Dao.

Di Jiu knew very well that this half-broken sword would be of great use to Zhou Bujian. However, he put it away and prepared to bring it back for Zhou Bujian to use.

On the way, Di Jiu once again saw broken spears, ax fragments, hammer fragments, huge polearm fragments…

Every kind of Dharma treasure fragment contained endless killing aura. Di Jiu suspected that this mountain used to be an ancient battlefield. A group of supremacy experts had been frantically fighting here before they’d perished together in the end, leaving some Dharma treasure fragments behind.

Three days later, Di Jiu stopped beside a white jade skeleton.

This was the first time Di Jiu was seeing a skeleton after being inside this mountain for a few days. In the past few days. He had only seen pieces of Dharma treasure fragments and huge ravines created by the laceration of Dharma treasures.

The only thing that he had not seen was a skeleton, as if all the skeletons in the entire mountain had disappeared.

However, not only did he see a skeleton now, but he also saw that it was holding onto a three-feet-tall, white-jade stone tablet.

The skeleton was like ordinary white jade and was holding onto a white-jade stone tablet. It looked like an entire body from afar.

Di Jiu scanned this skeleton. It did not have anything on it, not even any clothes or rings. It was hard for Di Jiu to distinguish whether it had been a man or woman. His gaze then landed on the white-jade stone tablet.

There were two words engraved on the white-jade stone tablet: Void Mountain.

Void Mountain? Di Jiu lifted his head to take a look at the blurry gray mountain peak in the distance and mumbled, “Could this mountain be the Void Mountain?”

The Void Mountain’s name was somewhat unique. Di Jiu opened his palm, wanting to scan the white-jade stone tablet of the Void Mountain to take a look.

He had not expected that he would not be able to scan it.

Although a white-jade skeleton was clearly holding onto this stone tablet, Di Jiu was unable to sweep it away.

Di Jiu, who was confused, scanned it with his Spiritual Force as he once again lifted his hands.

He was shocked to see that the white-jade stone tablet had not moved at all.

Di Jiu took a few steps back. Even an idiot would realize that this was absolutely abnormal. He could sweep anything with his Spiritual Force into his hands given his strength, even a low-level planet, let alone a white-jade stone tablet.

The only reason he could not sweep this white-jade stone tablet could be that the white-jade skeleton was holding onto it too tightly and would not allow him to take it away.
