Ninth In the World - Chapter 702

Chapter 702: Zhen Man’s Endless Opportunities

Five years later, Lightning stopped the flying boat. However, Di Jiu’s cultivation had not risen at all.

Di Jiu let Lightning enter his Ninth World and stood a little startled before a long and narrow spatial rift in the void.

According to the map given by Dao Chuanxun, this spatial rift was at least hundreds of thousands of feet long and thousands of feet wide. However, the spatial rift before Di Jiu was at most thousands of feet long and a foot wide.

Frankly speaking, it was amazing that Lightning had been able to find this place according to the locale map.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force penetrated the rift and was killed thoroughly. In the cracks, some void blade flares and shattered meteorite fragments were constantly sweeping out. Thus, despite his strength, even Di Jiu might get injured.

Di Jiu frowned. Once he entered a spatial rift that was about to vanish, the danger he faced would increase greatly.

However, he still had to go. Perhaps after a few years, this rift would completely vanish.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Di Jiu stepped into this spatial rift without hesitation. Unlike other people, he was a body-tempering expert with a Sacred Body who possessed the Ninth World.

If anything happened to him, he could use the Ninth World to escape.

After Di Jiu stepped into the spatial rift, a frantic void compression approached him. He had the strength of a peak Primordial Dao expert and was a cultivator of the law of the universe.

Against this vast void compression, he could not help but spray out a blood arrow by opening his mouth. His bones produced cracking sounds and constantly broke. Apart from that, he could clearly sense his five viscera disintegrating from the pressure.

At that moment, the spatial wind blades that struck Di Jiu swept up a bloody mist. This was hardly regarded as a wound compared to this void compression.

Di Jiu finally understood why this spatial rift had shrunk from thousands of feet wide to a foot wide. It was due to this terrifying void compression.

This kind of void compression was almost akin to plane compression. Under this plane compression, Di Jiu could not resist even if he reached Dao Integration, let alone the peak Primordial Dao he was now in.

Upon hurrying into the Ninth World, Di Jiu was horrified to discover that he could not break free. Since his Spiritual Force had been bound by this kind of void compression, he could not move at all.

Fear and panic would not aid him at this moment. Di Jiu gritted his teeth and simply started to use his body-tempering cultivation technique.

Then, he felt a little more relaxed. Unfortunately, that kind of compression still left him breathless. His internal organs kept shattering and he spat out some broken internal organ fragments from time to time.

Di Jiu started to perform the Nomological Qi Circulation as he tempered his body and could feel more relaxed now. As a result, the speed at which his bones broke and his internal organs shattered was much slower than before. If Di Jiu was not a body-tempering expert with a Sacred Body, didn’t have a thorough understanding of the Heaven Earth Law, and wasn’t much faster at recovering his physical body than ordinary cultivators, he would soon collapse no matter how slow this shattering process was.

The only thing Di Jiu could do at this moment was find a balance between the Nomological Qi Circulation and the body-tempering cultivation technique. It was best if he could combine both of them so that he could focus more on recovering his physical body.

Just like this, time passed slowly. The rift was nearly endless.

When Di Jiu’s body automatically reached a healing balance despite the injuries caused by this void compression, he heaved a sigh of relief.

This crisis had disappeared, but the spatial rift was still endless. It had been a hundred years ever since he had come in, but he still could not find the way out.

…

On a spacious broken stone beach in the Dao World…

Bam! A frantic force swept over Zhen Man, sending her on the broken beach.

She climbed up, disregarding the blood all over her and her torn clothes.

Immediately, her face was filled with excitement. She knelt and murmured to herself, “I finally succeeded. I arrived in the rumored Dao World. I succeeded…”

The surrounding Heaven Earth Divine Spirit Qi made her sure that she was in the Dao World.

She might be the only one who had ascended to the Dao World after cultivating for 4,000 years.

Within just one hour, Zhen Man slowly calmed down and stood up while clenching her fists tightly.

Who would have thought that an ordinary woman with average qualifications could stand in the Dao World? Compared to other cultivators, she had no advantages other than her appearance.

Fortunately, Di Jiu had brought her to the Small Central World. Even though her aptitude was ordinary, she knew how to make use of the relationship between her and Di Jiu. Since Di Jiu was in the Small Central World at the peak of his power, she only had to slightly conceal her relationship with him before she could receive even more help.

What helped her even more was her opportunities. After using a 100-million-year-old Spirit Lotus Heart she’d obtained in the Cultivation World, her aptitude had completely changed and she was able to join a top-notch sect, the Genesis Sect.

She knew very well that the Genesis Sect and Di Jiu had conflicting views and Di Jiu had killed more than one of their True Form experts. Why did this matter? She only wanted strength.

In the Genesis Sect, she spent 1,000 years ascending to the Evolution Scale Immortal World.

Although her qualifications became strong, Zhen Man knew very well that only cultivation resources could allow her to improve faster. She knew that Di Jiu had ascended to the Immortal World long ago, so she searched everywhere for his whereabouts in the Evolution Scale Immortal World. To her disappointment, she did not hear anything about him. She guessed that Di Jiu must have perished. Being strong in the True Cultivation World might not necessarily equal surviving in the Immortal World.

As a result of her general search, she managed to obtain endless opportunities and found a Void Mutated Fire Lotus and a fire-element immortal-like cultivation technique. This Void Mutated Fire Lotus helped her Spirit Root become the most top-notch mutated fire Spirit Root.

Apart from that, this Void Mutated Fire Lotus remained in her Spiritual Sea and allowed her to improve at any time.

Because of this mutated fire lotus, it took her only 3,000 years to become a perfected Immortal Emperor in the Evolution Scale Immortal World. Her luck did not end there. While she was pursuing ascension, she found a Five-Element World left behind in ancient times and arrived in the Dao World with its help.

Zhen Man stood up and clenched her fists. She believed that she was favored by Heaven. Otherwise, how could she have been given so many endless opportunities? Maybe one day, she would become an expert and dominate the universe. In the Spiritual World, she had to rely on the fire lotus to quickly improve her strength. Only after her strength reached a certain level could she come to take away the Five-Element World.

“You just came from the Immortal World?” A startled voice interrupted Zhen Man’s excited imagination.

Startled, Zhen Man quickly turned her head and saw two women. The woman in front was wearing a light green dress and was even prettier than her. Her exquisite features made her look as though she had come out of a painting.

Behind her was a young woman in red who stared at Zhen Man in surprise.

Zhen Man came to her senses and quickly bowed in greeting. “Zhen Man greets you, Seniors. I did not ascend normally and I accidentally got drawn into a void whirlpool. I did not die, but I was drawn to this place.”

She would never mention that she had ascended from the Five-Element World, which had been designated as her own treasure.

The woman in the light green dress carefully sized up Zhen Man again before she said with a sigh, “I rarely see people with your qualifications. Unless I’m wrong, you’re not over 10,000 years old yet you managed to become a perfected Immortal Emperor within 10,000 years. This kind of qualification is rare in the Dao World.”

Zhen Man, who was shocked, didn’t dare to say a word.

After the woman in light green dress sighed, she added, “I came from the Cloud Distant Palace, one of the Three Major Divine Hidden Sects in the Dao World. I’m Lan Ru. Are you willing to join the Cloud Distant Palace with me?”
