Chapter 173: Repairing The Night Star Continent

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The force produced by the array flags brought Di Jiu to the ground level. Before Di Jiu could complain about Qian Fenghua’s powerful Array Dao, he heard a violent rumbling sound.

A piece of land suddenly appeared below his feet. Outside the range of his Spiritual Force, the borders of two vast lands appeared and gradually drew closer to Di Jiu.

The roaring sounds came in waves, with increasing ferocity.

Di Jiu was extremely shocked. What kind of technique was this? Qian Fenghua had been trapped underneath the Polar Night Sky Market for many years, yet he still possessed great capabilities. It was obvious how powerful his Master had been before he had gotten trapped there.

After this roaring sound was heard, Di Jiu sensed some Law fluctuations. He knew that the fluctuations were not caused by Master Qian Fenghua’s actions, but were naturally formed by the merging of the two continents.

His Master had said that an attempt to repair the Night Star Continent occurred once every a few hundred or even 1,000 years. Even the shortest break would last several dozen years. This was the first time another attempt was made before 10 years could pass. This sudden event meant that this incident would not be sensed by most cultivators immediately. Therefore, Di Jiu would be under less pressure.

Di Jiu instantly took out two array discs. Without these two array discs, he would definitely fail the mission entrusted to him by Qian Fenghua.

…

The Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent beside the Polar Night Sky Market had once again started to merge.

This news spread across the entire Polar Night Continent almost instantly. Cultivators from both continents frantically rushed over.

Everyone knew that numerous cultivating resources would appear every time the two continents started merging at the Polar Night Sky Market.

Their future in cultivation depended on their harvest at the Sky Market.

The Sky Market City’s Half-Screen Continent and Polar Night Continent Teleportation Arrays never stopped flaring, so the cultivators were teleported in waves.

Every cultivator that left the Teleportation Array rushed in the direction of the Polar Night Sky Market. Meanwhile, the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent drew closer to each other. Before Di Jiu could set up the array discs properly, several hundreds of cultivators appeared in his Spiritual Force.

The cultivators from the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent swarmed over like bees.

Di Jiu sighed and aroused his Quintessential Essence as he said sternly, “Everyone stop where you are. The Night Star Continent is being repaired right now. All spirit meridians are resources necessary for repairing the continent. Any cultivator who refuses to stop where they are will be killed. There will be no exceptions.”

Although all the cultivators had heard Di Jiu, no one stopped. During the merging of the Polar Night Sky Market, they would be able to increase their cultivation levels significantly if they were able to seize even a few Spirit Stones and spirit meridians. No one cared whether the continent was repaired or not.

Di Jiu knew that words were pointless right now. Thus, he grabbed hold of the Heavenly Aqua Saber and slashed out with two flashes of blue mist.

One of the two flashes engulfed the Half-Screen Continent, while the other engulfed the Polar Night Continent.

A sharp saber intent swept out along with the two streaks of blue mist. Unlike before, these two saber intents were not all over the place. Instead, they formed two saber aura whirlpools.

Boom! The blue mist saber flash flying towards the Half-Screen Continent finally collided with the cultivators rushing over. The flare exploded and transformed into multiple saber flare whirlpools that engulfed the area.

Anything that blocked the path of this saber flash and whirlpools was ripped into shreds. The saber flare whirlpools were like giant shovels that left nothing but blood stains behind.

The situation at the Polar Night Continent was exactly the same. When the blue mist saber flash flew over, no cultivator managed to survive.

The frightening massacre caused everyone to unconsciously stop in their tracks. This saber flare was terrifying.

A mere saber flare had killed several hundreds of people. The strongest person among the victims had been at the ninth-stage Golden Core Realm.

Boom! Boom! An increasingly violent roaring sound woke up the cultivators, who had been shocked out of their stupor by Di Jiu. Many spirit meridians and Spirit Stones were swept up before they landed within the Sky market, which was located between the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent.

The desire to possess these precious cultivating resources finally won over the fear of death. A gray-robed cultivator hollered, “This man is planning on claiming every spirit meridian, Spirit Stone and treasure for himself. Let’s attack him together. His killing technique can only be executed once at a time.”

“That’s right, let’s attack him together. Take out your defense Dharma treasures!” someone agreed immediately.

After telling everyone to attack, the gray-robed cultivator did not join the crowd. Instead, his advancing speed became much slower.

Di Jiu was indeed very tired after executing two Wind-Rustling Moves. These saber moves did not target just one cultivator, but several hundreds of cultivators from a long distance. Hence, the Quintessential Essence exerted was incomparably greater.

Di Jiu saw the cultivators from both sides frantically rush over again after being blocked by him for a few seconds. There were even more cultivators rushing over from afar now.

Di Jiu slashed out with two Wind-Rustling Moves without hesitation. He was not very enthusiastic about the repair of the Night Star Continent. Whether the Night Star Continent was repaired had nothing to do with him. However, this was Qian Fenghua’s wish. Qian Fenghua had stayed there for numerous years out of regret, just to repair the Night Star Planet.

If this attempt was unsuccessful, Di Jiu was uncertain that Master Qian Fenghua would get another chance. Given the state his Master was in, he would need to pay with his life for every attempt he made. This was something Di Jiu absolutely would not allow to happen.

Regardless of whether he would be able to come back and save his Master in the future, this was the last time Master Qian Fenghua would get to repair the Night Star Continent.

The indomitable Wind-Rustling Move created numerous cyclone saber flares once again. Blood mists exploded at both continents, while all the cultivators who were trapped by the Wind-Rustling Move and saber flare whirlpools were ripped apart. An early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator even lost a limb due to a saber flare whirlpool. He was so scared that he retreated frantically.

Crack! The Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent finally merged. However, Di Jiu knew very well that this was only the beginning.

He swiftly threw out the two array discs Qian Fenghua had given him, as well as numerous array flags. The two array discs were activated instantly.

Di Jiu was a Level-Seven Array King. Thus, the moment the two array discs were activated, he could tell that they surpassed Level Nine. It was unfortunate that these two array discs were defense discs that contained no killing aura.

Di Jiu sighed silently. His Master was simply too merciful. If it had been him, he would not have stopped at refining two Defense Array discs. If these cultivators coveted the resources used to repair the planet, then they’d have to pay for them with their lives.

The cultivators from both sides finally reached the borders of the Defense Array discs, took out their Dharma treasures and started attacking. The two array discs shook. Array discs were not Dharma Arrays, so the effect of same-level array discs and Dharma Arrays differed significantly.

Di Jiu’s heart sank. At this rate, the two Defense Array discs would soon be destroyed. When that happened, he would not be able to block the attacks of so many people.

When he realized this, Di Jiu stopped being merciful. He immediately threw out multiple array flags and created a Level-Seven killing array.

There were still no top-notch experts around. However, once the experts arrived, the Defense Array discs would be destroyed faster and Di Jiu would miss the chance to set up a Level-Seven killing array.

“He’s setting up a killing array. Let’s increase our attacking speed!” roared a cultivator who realized that Di Jiu was setting up a killing array.

If he’d used the array flags he had refined himself to create the Level-Seven killing array, Di Jiu would have needed more time. However, these array flags had all been refined by Qian Fenghua. Hence, it was easier for Di Jiu to set up the killing array. If he’d had any more time, he could have even created a Level-Eight killing array.

After setting up two Level-Seven killing arrays, the strain on the two Defense Array discs decreased significantly and the prowess of a Level-Seven killing array was displayed. Any cultivator who dared to rush over was killed without mercy.

When he saw that he had blocked the onslaught of the frenetic cultivators of both sides, Di Jiu took out the array flags Qian Fenghua had given him and started to throw them out according to the instructions he had been given.

Underneath the Sky Market, Qian Fenghua was also throwing out array flags. Thanks to their combined effort, the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent kept merging. The crack in the middle gradually disappeared and the spirit meridians and Spirit Stones fused with the ground and disappeared.

When Di Jiu noticed that some people were still frantically attacking the array discs, he roared furiously, “You selfish pieces of trash! If you guys didn’t keep seizing the spirit meridians and Spirit Stones of the Sky Market, the Night Star Continent would have been repaired a long time ago!”

Di Jiu was extremely furious. He was planning on leaving the Night Star Continent when it was repaired, yet these bastards kept crazily seizing the Spirit Stones and spirit meridians instead of helping out.

“He’s repairing the continent!” someone finally shouted.

Although an increasing number of cultivators came, there were fewer people attacking. The majority of them could see that Di Jiu was repairing the continent.

spirit meridians might be good, but if the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent could be repaired, perhaps the Heaven and Earth Law would be more complete and it would be easier to achieve a cultivation breakthrough. Of course, the most important reason was that the spirit meridians and Spirit Stones there had almost disappeared.

If Di Jiu could read their thoughts, he would definitely say that they were overthinking things. This was only a superficial repair, so the Laws of the Night Star Continent would still remain ruined. Perhaps they would slowly heal by themselves after numerous years. However, this would not happen now.

“That’s right. He’s indeed repairing the continent. However, he has killed members of the Wander Sunset Sect, so he must die!” a cold voice called out from the crowd.

No one took heed of these words. The spirit meridians and Spirit Stones were currently gradually disappearing, so the cultivators who had been attacking the array disc had started to retreat. Fortunately, Di Jiu was repairing the Night Star Continent. Although he stopped anyone who tried to seize the cultivating resources, it seemed that Di Jiu himself did not attempt to seize these resources either.

How could a cultivator that could repair the Night Star Continent be ordinary? The Wander Sunset Sect could barely be considered a first-rate sect. Their Grand Elder was only at the early-stage Void Spirit Realm, so what right did this sect have to take any action against the expert repairing the continent?
