Chapter 467: Seclusion in the Starry Sky Immortal City

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu was in the void above the Sky Bamboo River. The Square Immortal Cauldron was floating in front of him as he integrated his Nomological Array flags into the surroundings one after another. The Square Immortal Cauldron’s restrictions were gradually stripped.

After the last restriction was stripped away, an infinite light from providence dispersed in a flash, using Sky Bamboo River as its starting point, and penetrated the entire Immortal World.

Di Jiu’s Nomological Array flags were set up close together and the Square Immortal Cauldron gradually became illusionary.

Not only did he bring back the light from providence that would shine in the Immortal World, but at the same time, he also wanted to allow the Square Immortal Cauldron to suppress the Square Immortal Continent forever, thus absorbing endless void light from providence. As long as the Square Immortal Cauldron was still around, the light from providence would shine in the Square Immortal Continent for eternity.

When the light from providence of the Square Immortal Cauldron started to shine on the Square Immortal Continent, all the living cultivators would sense clearly that life-force had started to use the Square Immortal Continent as its source and slowly spread out, becoming faster and faster in the end.

Countless cultivators hiding in every corner of the Square Immortal Continent immediately sensed this situation and charged out of their seclusion cave abodes in excitement. They rushed out of the corners where they had been living without a purpose and knelt down in gratitude for the return of the light from providence, which was shining in the Immortal World and would be a source of survival for this land again.

The sunset state disappeared and the entire Immortal World was like a newborn morning sun sprouting prosperous life-force.

The sects that remained in the Starry Sky Immortal City bowed in respect before Di Jiu excitedly. They could not wait for Di Jiu to return and they greeted the Starry Sky Immortal City’s temporary City Lord, Qu Tong, before leading their disciples away from the Starry Sky Immortal City in a hurry.

Di Jiu had found the Square Immortal Cauldron again, and the Square Immortal Continent was obviously going through a new life. He believed that the Square Immortal Continent would soon be restored to its original bustling prosperity in the Immortal World. They urgently needed to return to rebuild their immortal sect and pass it on.

Half a month passed before the Square Immortal Cauldron was integrated into the Square Immortal Continent with Di Jiu’s Foundation Order, ensuring the light from providence would shine in the entire Square Immortal Continent.

The Square Immortal Continent also radiated thriving life-force and the gloomy, dark massacre aura had vanished.

However, Di Jiu did not stop setting up Foundation Order Array flags, because he actually sensed the Square Immortal Continent’s Boundary Protection Large Array.

He was now a level-nine Immortal Array Master who had reached the top. He was limited to his cultivation level and unable to touch the Immortal World’s Boundary Protection Large Array.

Since he had used the Square Immortal Cauldron to ensure the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World, he made use of this to touch the Square Immortal Continent’s Boundary Protection Large Array. How could he let this chance slip by?

The Nomological Array flags were set up by Di Jiu one after another. At first, Di Jiu just touched the edge of this Boundary Protection Large Array. However, afterward, the Nomological Array flags that he set up increased. Di Jiu gradually touched the entire Immortal World’s Defense Array.

Qu Tong watched above the Sky Bamboo River in astonishment. He realized Di Jiu’s silhouette was becoming increasingly fainter before it disappeared in the end. However, he immediately recalled what Di Jiu had instructed him. He had to develop the Starry Sky Immortal City into the top immortal city of the Square Immortal Continent.

Apart from this, he also had to pay attention to Di Jiu’s elder sister, Di Di, as well as to any news from Geng Ji and the others.

…

Di Jiu was thoroughly immersed in the Square Immortal Continent’s Boundary Protection Large Array. This was definitely not a Defense Array that an ordinary level-nine Immortal Array Master could set up.

Di Jiu suspected that even Old Zhong could not set up such a Defense Array. Every array flag in it contained a mixture of a mysterious, esoteric aura of Heaven and Earth.

This should be a natural array that surpassed the Immortal Array.

Di Jiu grew excited. His Immortal World Array Dao cultivation level had already reached its peak, and this place could allow him to touch an even higher-level large array. How could he let this chance slip by?

If he had not set up a large amount of Foundation Order Array flags beforehand when he had gone to the Brilliant Lake Palace, he would have already been killed by Ye Xi.

The large array in the Brilliant Lake Palace had also surpassed a level-nine Immortal Array’s large array.

Other people might be limited to the Heaven Earth Law and rendered unable to touch it, but not Di Jiu. He had the Ninth Dao Law.

Time slowly passed and Di Jiu connected to the entire Immortal World’s Defense Array and became one with it.

Thanks to the Ninth Dao Law, even if Di Jiu’s cultivation level was not enough by any means, he could make steady progress and find every array core of this Boundary Protection Large Array.

January, February…

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. When Di Jiu casually set up a Nomological Array flag to make up for the broken state of the Square Immortal Continent’s Defense Array, he realized that his Array Dao had completely surpassed the Immortal Array Emperor and reached a new level.

He rapidly set up a few of his own Boundary Protection Large Array flags and his figure once again appeared above the Sky Bamboo River.

If he wanted to leave in the future, even if he was not on the Thunderous Floating Island, he could easily leave the Square Immortal Continent. Without getting his permission, other people could only enter the Square Immortal Continent through teleportation.

The Square Immortal Continent’s Teleportation Array had been destroyed, so as long as he could control the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Teleportation Array, nobody would come into the Square Immortal Continent within a same-level realm unless that person’s strength was more formidable than Zhong Ao’s. However, there was probably no cultivator in the Immortal World who was more formidable than Zhong Ao.

Di Jiu stood beside Sky Bamboo River, filled with emotions. The Starry Sky Immortal City could be considered a real immortal city right now.

Di Jiu once again inserted 10 high-grade immortal spirit meridians through Nomological Array flags in the Starry Sky Immortal City. He had plenty of them.

At the moment, all the cultivators in the Starry Sky Immortal City could feel the Immortal Spirit Qi grow rich.

Qu Tong and Yan Xiaosha rushed to the side of Sky Bamboo River immediately and saw Di Jiu. Qu Tong shouted in excitement, “City Lord, you didn’t leave!”

A year ago, Di Jiu had vanished above the Sky Bamboo River and he had thought that he had left. Now, he knew that the City Lord had not left.

Di Jiu nodded and asked, “Where are Sect Master Jing and the others?”

He had scanned the place with his Spiritual Force earlier. The Starry Sky Immortal City’s cultivators had not changed much. Instead, they had decreased. Di Jiu was not surprised since the Square Immortal Continent was starting to get restored and there were very few people in the Immortal World. Everyone was searching for a place to enter reclusive cultivation or return to their sect to rebuild it.

Qu Tong hurriedly said, “Almost all the Sect Masters left the Starry Sky Immortal City. They went to rebuild their own sects. Sect Master Jing also left and said she wanted to see whether the Virtuous Nirvana Sect could be rebuilt.”

“City Lord!” Bei Chutai and Liu Yuxin came over excitedly.

He was kind of touched deep down. When the Starry Sky Immortal City had been established, these people had been with him. When the Immortal World was restored, these people would be with him again. The Immortal Kings, Sect Masters, and refugees were not here anymore.

Di Jiu took out four rings and gave each one to them. “The Immortal Spirit Qi in the Square Immortal Continent is probably the richest now. Many people will want to enter this place in the future, so the Square Immortal Continent’s safety will depend on you. Your cultivation levels are weak, but there are elixir pills used to cultivate to the Immortal Supremacy Realm as well as a part of resources. There are also array flags controlling the Starry Sky Immortal City…”

“Cultivate to the Immortal Supremacy Realm…” The four of them looked at Di Jiu in surprise. Resources that are used to cultivate to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. How scary was that?

Di Jiu nodded his head in certainty. “That’s right. Those resources are used to cultivate to the Immortal Supremacy Realm. All of you need to work hard.”

“City Lord, are you leaving?” Qu Tong asked urgently.

Di Jiu shook his head. “I won’t leave for now, but I can’t stay here for long. When the time is up, I will leave the Starry Sky Immortal City. When I’m in seclusion in the Starry Sky Immortal City, everyone has to cultivate in City Lord Manor as much as possible. This way, you will improve faster.”

“Yes. Thank you, City Lord,” Qu Tong replied without the slightest hesitation.

Di Jiu told Qu Tong through voice transmission, “Qu Tong, you will be the Starry Sky Immortal City’s City Lord after I leave. I have put the Quintessential World and another world inside your ring. Pass that ring to Geng Ji on my behalf and the Quintessential World to my elder sister, Di Di. It can only be opened with a drop of blood.”

Qu Tong once again bowed and did not say anything. He decided to obey Di Jiu and pass these things to Di Di and Geng Ji.

Di Jiu had obtained a large amount of cultivating resources, and his cultivation level had improved too quickly so he did not use them. The Quintessential World he gave to Di Di required a drop of blood to open. After it was opened, Di Di would find plenty of cultivating resources inside. These would be enough for her and the people around her to cultivate.

…

The Square Immortal Continent was once again restored to its usual peace. The only difference was that the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Immortal Spirit Qi was richer by more than 10 times now.

Qu Tong and the others understood what Di Jiu meant by telling them to cultivate in City Lord Manor. They not only felt Heaven Earth Spirit Qi with a higher level than the rich Immortal Spirit Qi, but they also felt the clear law of cultivation of Heaven and Earth.

Qu Tong reached the perfected Golden Immortal Realm in a short amount of time. Then, he went through tribulation transcendence and broke through to the Immortal Lord Realm.

Yan Xiaosha attained the Grand Zenith Immortal Realm two months later. Apart from that, their cultivation levels were soaring at a great speed.

This cultivation speed was like a dream come true for the four of them. They did not even dare to believe that this was real.

Di Jiu’s cultivation level also advanced quickly. Within three months, he broke through to the third-stage Immortal King Realm.

He used the blue shard in the Lunar Immortal Sea to cultivate and occasionally used a supreme-grade immortal crystal. This cultivation speed was very fast.
