Ninth In the World

Di Jiu smiled. “Big Brother Mu, do you think I am a person who needs his friends to pave the way for him by using their lives?”

Mu Lianqi gestured with his hands to Di Jiu and said calmly, “Actually, this is my choice. I’ve lost any chances by staying here. The only thing I can do is wait for death.”

“Even if I went to find Shang Huijue, I would not do such a thing,” Di Jiu said without hesitation.

Mu Lianqi nodded. “When I was locked by Shang Huijue with the Star-Covering Umbrella and my Dao foundation was corroded by the Lawless Falling Dao, I knew that my life wheel had been destroyed even though I had survived. Being able to get out is no different from being here. If you can bury my body in a place with vigorous life-force, I will still retain some memory after reincarnation, which is not a bad thing for me.”

After saying that, Mu Lianqi paused before adding, “Moreover, Shang Huijue will not know more about the Spirit Plant Chaotic World than I do. He will be lucky if he can find the Reincarnation Dao Runes. If he could go out, he would have looked for someone else to do that. How could he wait until now…”

Di Jiu’s heart was suddenly moved. As Mu Lianqi had said, Shang Huijue had wanted to work with him several times. If Shang Huijue could work with other people, wouldn’t he have gone out long ago? His current strength was indeed superior to the people of the Lost Dao World. What about 100,000 years ago or even a million years ago? Shang Huijue had wanted to work with him because he had something that others didn’t have.

The Reincarnation Bridge. Di Jiu was aware of the reason.

It was very likely that, as Mu Lianqi had said, he would draw the Reincarnation Bridge to communicate with the Reincarnation Dao Runes. Then, he and Mu Lianqi would work together to tear apart the void of the Reincarnation Realm. How was this different from Mu Lianqi using his spirit plant form to communicate with the Reincarnation Dao Runes after he perished?

At the thought of this, Di Jiu immediately told Mu Lianqi, “Big Brother Mu, you find a place where you can communicate with the Reincarnation Dao Runes. We’ll do it together.”

“Big Brother Di…” When he heard that, Ling Xiaoshuang’s expression changed dramatically. She definitely didn’t want Mu Lianqi to perish for the sake of Di Jiu’s survival. Even if Mu Lianqi was willing himself, she would rather not live on like that.

Di Jiu smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. Big Brother Mu doesn’t need to perish and communicate with the Reincarnation Dao Runes. I have a way to do that.”

Mu Lianqi looked at Di Jiu in amazement. What way did Di Jiu have to communicate with the Reincarnation Dao Runes in the spirit plant world without the spirit plant dying?

Despite his suspicion, he said, “Follow me first.”

He had made up his mind. If Di Jiu could not do it, he would immediately rely on his own life to communicate with the reincarnation.

Mu Lianqi was obviously very familiar with the Half-Patterned Swamp. After half a day, he took Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang to a swamp pit.

This swamp pit was about a thousand feet wide and had huge cracks in the middle.

“This place is called the Half-Patterned Swamp. The reason I came here is that the water in this place was the last to disappear,” Mu Lianqi explained.

Di Jiu nodded and took out a handful of array flags. “I want to set up a major concealment array. When we tear the Void Realm, we must not let Shang Huijue know.”

“I’ll help.” Mu Lianqi offered his help without hesitation, as he was a level-nine Divine Array Emperor.

Di Jiu waved his hand. “I’ll do it myself.”

He didn’t want Mu Lianqi to help because he knew that Mu Lianqi, who was also a level-nine Divine Array Emperor, would set up different Dharma Arrays.

His Array Dao formation had been born from the Nomological Dao, which Mu Lianqi could not compare with. Once he set up his invisible array, Shang Huijue wouldn’t know until he tore the realm.

Mu Lianqi sighed secretly when he saw Di Jiu throwing array flags down. He was sure that Di Jiu and Du Bu were the same. They had exceptional cultivation techniques, and their Array Daos were incomparable to theirs.

Based on ordinary techniques, Di Jiu would need half an hour at most to set up a 1,000-foot-wide Defense Divine Array or maybe less than that.

It took around ten days for Di Jiu to set up this Defense Divine Array.

After setting up the Defense Divine Array, Di Jiu immediately activated it and took out the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge.

“The Reincarnation Bridge…” Upon seeing Di Jiu’s Reincarnation Bridge, Mu Lianqi responded in shock.

At that moment, he and Ling Xiaoshuang understood what was going on. Di Jiu had a Reincarnation Bridge. As long as he activated it, he could definitely find the passage of the Reincarnation Dao Runes.

Di Jiu’s priority was not finding the Reincarnation Passage but how to break it after finding it.

“Ah Jiu, I should have called a few familiar friends to work with. The three of us are still a bit weak.” Upon seeing the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge, Mu Lianqi knew that Di Jiu would very likely leave this place.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “Don’t worry. After I activate the Reincarnation Passage, the two of you will attack at full force. We’ll rush out if there is a crack.”

“Alright,” Mu Lianqi said without hesitation, not needing Di Jiu’s reminder. Ling Xiaoshuang also drew her Dharma treasure and stared at the void around the Reincarnation Bridge at all times, waiting for Di Jiu to activate the Reincarnation Passage.

When the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge was activated by Di Jiu, Reincarnation Dao Runes reverberated.

Even though the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge didn’t target them, Mu Lianqi and Ling Xiaoshuang still felt their Principal Spirit and soul relaxed as though they wanted to rush out of their bodies and enter the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge.

Di Jiu froze. He had clearly seen the Dao runes above the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge forming huge words and turning clearer.

Life and death in the ten Dharma realms, six realms in the Wheel of Life!

Was this the Heaven-Opening Mantra? Di Jiu immediately understood that this was absolutely the Heaven-Opening Mantra. He would not have remembered that wrongly. The first few words of Shang Huijue’s Heaven-Opening Mantra were ‘Solitary Void Without Yin and Yang!” Although he didn’t know what followed, he was sure that it wasn’t ‘Life and death in the ten Dharma realms, six realms in the Wheel of Life!’

Only a short time later, Di Jiu came back to his senses. It was the Heaven-Opening Mantra, but his Heaven-Opening Mantra was different from Shang Huijue’s because of his Dharma treasure and cultivation technique.

Di Jiu was ecstatic. The Heaven-Opening Mantra that fit Shang Huijue might not be suitable for him. When his Dao runes and Dharma treasure activated the Heaven-Opening Mantra, this suited him the best.

In the past, he had only wanted the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. However, he yearned for it now.

One could imagine that if he encountered a true third-step expert one day, as long as he stood on the Reincarnation Bridge and drew the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, nobody would be able to stop him. As Di Jiu looked at the Heaven-Opening Mantra that was becoming clearer and clearer, he increasingly felt that only by using the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush could he show his true power.

Upon thinking of this, Di Jiu suddenly stopped activating the Reincarnation Dao Runes.

Puzzled, Mu Lianqi looked at Di Jiu and said, “Ah Jiu, it seems that if your Reincarnation Bridge persists for a while longer, the Reincarnation Passage of the spirit plant world will appear.”

Di Jiu nodded, “I know. I must go to the Lost Dao City. You and Xiaoshuang just wait for me here. Once I return, we will leave immediately.”

Mu Lianqi and Ling Xiaoshuang did not ask Di Jiu why he wanted to go to the Lost Dao City. They believed that Di Jiu definitely had his reasons for going there at such a critical moment.

…

Ever since Di Jiu had left, Shang Huijue had not felt at ease. Even though he knew that Di Jiu couldn’t leave the Lost Dao World without him, he was still worried. After all, Di Jiu had too much good stuff. If Di Jiu also thought of the Reincarnation Passage, he might give that a try.

However, he believed that as long as Di Jiu took out the Reincarnation Bridge again, he could sense it.

If Di Jiu used the Reincarnation Bridge, he would bring many people over immediately. Regardless of whether he snatched the Reincarnation Bridge or left the Lost Dao World while Di Jiu used the Reincarnation Bridge, he would not miss this opportunity.
