Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Look at who’s Number One!” shrieked soone on the square suddenly.
Before this shriek was heard, everybody had been staring blankly at the ranking on the huge ranking array formation screen. The Number One was a na previously unheard of in the True Dominion—it was Di Jiu.
Di Jiu, who ca from the Galaxy Master Sect of the Small Central World, had 100 points.
“Oh my god! He has full marks!” A voice suddenly broke the silence.
“Who is Di Jiu?”
“How is it possible for sobody from the Small Central World to beco Number One?”
Nobody cared about i Zhiyun anymore. Almost everybody was scurrying to find out who Di Jiu was.
“Sothing is wrong! i Zhiyun has now beco Number Three. Hu Burang is now Number Two. Who is Hu Burang?” As everybody had been asking about Di Jiu, another na had appeared, confusing the people on the Immortal Ascension Square even more.
The second na on the array formation screen was Hu Burang, who had 90 points. He was an Itinerant Cultivator from the Small Central World.
The first two spots had been taken by people from the Small Central World. The True Dominion couldn’t accept these results.
“Number 10 is also from the Small Central World!” said sobody who discovered this suddenly.
Number 10 was Gu Jue with 71 points, who ca from the Mirage Sword Sect of the Small Central World.
By now, i Bashan’s expression had turned solemn. Although he was confident that i Zhiyun would still clinch the Number One title in the end, he felt disgraced that i Zhiyun had been pushed to the third spot during the first round.
Being pushed to the third spot was bad enough. However, what made things worse was that the top two people ca from the Small Central World.
“He actually made Number One?” The Skygold Protectorate Lord, Huan Changzhu, was staring in awe at the huge screen too. Although he had predicted that Di Jiu would make the top three, he hadn’t expected that he would score full marks and beco Number One in the first round. By now, Huan Changzhu knew very well that Di Jiu had more and bigger secrets than he had imagined.
He had lent Di Jiu out before, so he knew that Di Jiu was an extrely dangerous person.
Suddenly, i Bashan stood up and walked out of the suspended level he had been on. Once he walked out, a hunch-backed man appeared beside him.
“Go kill Di Jiu, Gou Shang. Do not let him take part in the second round that will take place in three days,” instructed i Bashan intimidatingly.
“Yes, Master,” answered the hunch-backed man respectfully. He then turned and walked away. This sounded like an easy task.
...
“You actually clinched Number One, Di Jiu!” Xian Ze welcod Di Jiu excitedly as he walked out. He was well aware of Di Jiu’s strength. Thus, he felt even surer that Di Jiu would be in the top three now that he had beco Number One after the first round of the written examination.
“Let’s go. Please co with to take care of so matters, Brother.” The second round of the competition was three days later, yet Di Jiu’s priority now was to find Han Qingyi.
Before Di Jiu left to look for Han Qingyi, a young man who was at the Pioneer Sea Realm approached him and bowed. Then, he cupped his fists and said, “Are you Young Master Red Embellishnt, Di Jiu?”
“That’s right. I am,” answered Di Jiu calmly.
The cultivator then said, “My Villa Lord is holding a celebration party for you at the Immortal Ascension Inn Unit A-7 today. Please join us, Young Master Red Embellishnt.”
He handed out a gold-stamped invitation card as he spoke.
Di Jiu didn’t accept the invitation. Instead, he asked indifferently, “Who is your Villa Lord?”
“My Villa Lord is Han Wushui from the Falling Ice Mountain,” answered the cultivator hurriedly.
“Please say that I will be coming over right away,” said Di Jiu as he took the invitation card.
“Got it,” replied the cultivator before bowing again and leaving.
“Please wait for at the inn, Brother. I will be back in a jiffy after attending this appointnt,” Di Jiu told Xian Ze.
Han Qingyi ca from the Falling Ice Mountain, so he would surely go now that the Villa Lord of the Falling Ice Mountain had asked. Jing Moshuang was at the Falling Ice Mountain too.
“Okay, please take care.” Xian Ze didn’t worry about Di Jiu. Di Jiu was experienced with matters of the world. Even the Skygold Protectorate Lord had to respect Di Jiu. Therefore, the Falling Ice Mountain, which was weaker than the Skygold Protectorate, would definitely respect him.
Di Jiu didn’t return to his abode. Instead, he went to Unit A-7 straightaway.
The units with the prefix “A” were the highest-class units at the Immortal Ascension Inn. They were numbered with suffixes in descending order based on their quality. The Falling Ice Mountain’s unit had the suffix “7”, which ant that its status in the True Dominion was quite high.
Although Di Jiu stayed in the most expensive room on the top floor, his room still paled in comparison to the A-prefixed units.
Di Jiu felt the difference the mont he reached Unit A-7. Even though he looked in through a restriction, he could still see that the unit was surrounded by green hills and blue waters.
The spatial materials used in such a setup were not sothing commoners could afford.
When Di Jiu knocked at the restriction, it opened up quickly. A charming young lady walked out and bowed before him as she said, “Please follow in, Young Master Red Embellishnt. Our Villa Lord has been waiting for you.”
Di Jiu followed the lady. He passed through two mountain ranges and a long river before reaching a huge entrance that led to a palace.
“Ha ha! Please co in, Young Master Red Embellishnt.” A chirpy voice was heard as the restriction on the palace opened. A passageway covered with Spirit Jades led into the depths of the palace.
Di Jiu scanned the place casually with his Spiritual Force and sensed the confinent arrays and killing arrays all around him. It seed like this was not a celebration party, but an ambush. However, he was not afraid. Di Jiu continued to walk into the palace without any hesitation.
He had a level-eleven Spiritual Force, as well as the techniques of a Level-Nine Array King, so he could not be killed by a level-nine confinent array, no matter how strong it was. He overpowered the opponent with his Spiritual Force, not with his Array Dao.
“I would like to pay my respects to Villa Lord Han,” said Di Jiu as he entered the palace and saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting in the center. This man was already at the fifth-stage Domain Realm.
More than 10 n and won were sitting on the two sides of the palace. Among them was a beautiful middle-aged lady who was sitting beside Han Wushui. She looked very much like Han Qingyi and she was at the third-stage True Form. Di Jiu suspected that this lady was Han Qingyi’s mother.
The rest of the people present were at most at the eighth-stage True Form Realm. Di Jiu didn’t care about them. He was only concerned about Han Qingyi because he didn’t see her in there. Although there were many True Form cultivators around, they wouldn’t be able to kill him in the event that a fight really broke out.
“Good! You are indeed open and honest. Take a seat, Young Master Red Embellishnt,” said Han Wushui matter-of-factly when he saw Di Jiu as he cupped his fists.
Di Jiu knew why Han Wushui had comnted that he was open and honest. This place was full of level-nine killing arrays. Therefore, no ordinary person would have dared enter.
A maidservant had co over to lead Di Jiu to his seat. However, Di Jiu didn’t budge. Han Wushui had assigned a lowly position to him. This was no place for a guest or a friend. Therefore, before Di Jiu found out how Jing Moshuang was doing, he wouldn’t take such a lowly seat.
Han Wushui seed to know what Di Jiu was thinking. Therefore, he just smiled and didn’t insist that Di Jiu sit down. Instead, he asked unhurriedly, “Do you know what kind of situation you are in, Young Master Red Embellishnt?”
Di Jiu replied coldly, “I have a friend here. I have only co for her. May I know if Fairy Qingyi is here?”
Han Wushui’s expression froze when Di Jiu didn’t answer his question. “The Young Master Red Embellishnt is bold and highly-skilled indeed. He would not be afraid of any difficult situation,” said an elder inside the palace with a snort.
The beautiful middle-aged lady beside Han Wushui grabbed hold of the angry elder and smiled as she said, “The Villa Lord is right, Di Jiu. The Interstellar Protectorate Lord said that he wanted to kill you not long ago. Zhuo Changgeng of the Zhuo Family and Yue Li of the Yue Family seem unhappy with you as well. Even i Bashan, the top expert in the True Dominion, has left with an upset expression. If my guess is right, you are already under sobody’s watch and will be killed the mont you leave the inn.”
Di Jiu laughed as he replied, “The fact that I could co here ans that I am not afraid of such sneaky acts. I will continue cultivating for as long as I am alive. I will only stop when I am dead. I have co here only for one purpose. I struck an agreent with Fairy Qingyi earlier and entrusted my friend Jing Moshuang to her. I hope that the Falling Ice Mountain can let my friend leave with .”
Di Jiu sounded cold. anwhile, the Heavenly Aqua Saber on his back started to move with a killing aura, even though no wind was blowing.
Han Wushui snorted as his killing intent began to rage. He thought that Di Jiu was being rude to him by speaking in such a manner in his territory.
Suddenly, when she saw that a battle was about to break out, Han Qingyi rushed out and quickly told Di Jiu, “You don’t have to worry, Daoist Di. Although I did not manage to fulfill my promise to you, Junior Sister Moshuang should be fine.”
“What do you an?” asked Di Jiu as his killing intent increased instead of diminishing. He would strike if Jing Moshuang had co to any harm. His Nine-Nine Constellation Large Array was already prepared to spill so blood.
Han Qingyi, who seed to understand Di Jiu’s temperant, quickly replied, “After I returned to the True Dominion, I brought Moshuang to the Ji Family. I didn’t expect that the Ji Family would be unwilling to allow Moshuang to recuperate in the Turning Sphere Resuscitation Spring. I didn’t even get to see my auntie...”
