Ninth In the World

Chapter 451 - You Will Die After Going

Chapter 451: You Will Die After Going

Di Jiu threw a jade bottle at Yin Wushang and said, “This elixir pill is for you to try. I was about to find you, but I didn’t expect that you would come here first.”

“Di Jiu, I have a use for this. Give me some more,” Zhong Ao, who saw Di Jiu give a bottle of Spiritual River Pills to Yin Wushang, said hurriedly.

There was definitely a limited amount of these precious elixir pills. Di Jiu did not know how to save them and he hoped he would not give everything away.

Di Jiu handed Zhong Ao a ring. “The majority of the Spiritual River Pills that I have refined are in here. You can have it.”

Di Jiu had refined 71 bottles of Spiritual River Pills, and there were nine pills in each bottle. He saved 50 bottles for himself, and the remaining ones were all given to Zhong Ao. He needed such elixir pills urgently as well, so he naturally could not give Zhong Ao half of them. He had not known Zhong Ao for a mere couple of days, so Di Jiu knew very well that as long as he was honest, Zhong Ao would definitely come to find him again over time.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, are you going to the Brilliant Lake Palace?” Yin Wushang took the jade bottle but did not open it to have a look. Instead, he took the initiative to ask a question first.

Di Jiu chuckled. “That’s right, I’m going to cause Ye Xi trouble. I supposed this old boy was going to cause trouble for me, so I’m going to find him now.”

Yin Wushang nodded. “I came here for this. I was worried you would go to cause trouble for Ye Xi. You can do that, but you can’t go to his territory.”

“Why not?” Di Jiu asked in shock.

“Because you will die if you go,” Yin Wushang said solemnly.

Di Jiu did not think that he could crush Ye Xi, so he did not care about Yin Wushang’s words. Thus, he cupped his fists without the slightest hesitation and said, “I have to ask Daoist Yin for guidance.”

Yin Wushang casually set up a restriction and said, “The Brilliant Lake Palace is actually not a place meant for cultivating treasures. The reason Ye Xi set up his sect there is because the Brilliant Lake Palace is a natural large array...”

Upon seeing Yin Wushang set up the noise isolation restriction, Di Jiu was not bothered. In fact, absolutely nobody could eavesdrop if he did not want anybody to hear anything in his territory. Di Jiu was relieved to hear Yin Wushang say that the Brilliant Lake Palace had a natural large array.

He was a grade-nine Immortal Array Emperor, so how could he be afraid of a natural large array? Moreover, Zhong Ao was apart from him.

Di Jiu was certain that Zhong Ao’s cultivation level had surpassed a perfected Immortal Emperor’s level. However, he did not have a merged physical body now and did not remember any other things.

Not only was Zhong Ao an expert who had surpassed a perfected Immortal Emperor, but he was also a top-notch Array Dao expert. A level-nine Immortal Array Emperor like him was not enough compared to Zhong Ao. He remained unafraid while Zhong Ao was around, even though he could not break through the large array of Ye Xi’s Brilliant Lake Palace.

How wide was Yin Wushang’s knowledge? He knew what Di Jiu was thinking with just a look. He sighed silently and said solemnly, “Alchemy Emperor Di...”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Brother Yin, since we are friends, we should address each other like friends.”

“Alright.” Yin Wushang had originally wanted to become friends with Di Jiu. He had lost a chance last time, so he naturally would not reject Di Jiu’s good intentions now. “Brother Di, do you know what cultivation realm is above the Immortal Emperor?”

Di Jiu shook his head, as he did not know. However, he could ask Zhong Ao after he merged with his physical body.

Yin Wushang went on to explain, “The Four Major Immortal Continents are actually just one corner of the vast Immortal World plane. The Immortal World is boundless. I don’t know how many similar planes there are. Previously, after cultivating to a certain level in the Immortal World, one could ascend to a higher realm. Of course, such an ascension cannot succeed anywhere. It has to happen at a certain place.”

“Then, where is this ascension place?” Di Jiu asked subconsciously.

Yin Wushang shook his head. “I don’t know either. I would have already ascended if I knew. I suspect that there is someone who knows, and that’s Ye Xi.”

“Ye Xi could have already ascended in that case, right? Why hasn’t he ascended yet if he knows?” Di Jiu, who did not understand, asked.

Yin Wushang sighed and said, “He’s scheming. He looks like an ordinary gentleman and takes responsibility for the entire Immortal World’s prosperity, but he will actually go to any lengths secretly and he has done everything. He definitely has dark secrets considering that he refuses to leave the Brilliant Lake Palace. Someone plotted against the Yin Family back then and all the experts were exterminated, causing our family to almost disappear. Ye Xi was among the people who did it.”

Di Jiu was already aware of what kind of person Ye Xi was. For the sake of the Elixir Association, Di Jiu would not let Ye Xi off even if he had his eyes fixed on him.

“Brother Yin, where is the place where one can ascend to another realm?” Di Jiu was much more interested in this. Ye Xi was just a skeleton in his house.

Yin Wushang sighed again. “I only obtained some scattered information. According to this information, this place might be the Spiritual World or the Saint World. After I sorted out the information I obtained, I concluded that it should be the Dao World.”

“Dao World?” Di Jiu repeated.

Yin Wushang answered, “I only took a guess based on the information I obtained. I don’t know whether it’s accurate. I only want to tell you that the natural array in the Brilliant Lake Palace has surpassed a level-nine Immortal Array. I don’t think it’s an array from the Immortal World plane. I also know that Brother Di’s Array Dao is formidable. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have trapped eight Immortal Emperor experts. However, no matter how formidable you are, that only applies within the Immortal Array. The natural large array in Ye Xi’s Brilliant Lake Palace has most likely surpassed the Immortal Array level.”

A natural large array that surpassed the Immortal Array level? Di Jiu immediately grew cautious and turned his gaze to Zhong Ao. “Old Zhong, what do you think?”

Zhong Ao chuckled. “Who am I afraid of?”

Di Jiu looked at Zhong Ao with loathing. If he was not afraid of anyone, how had he gotten trapped in the Lunar Immortal Sea to refine the Sacred Yin Pearl for someone and separated his Principal Spirit and physical body?

Zhong Ao could obviously see Di Jiu’s loathing, so his face flushed red. “I was captured by that bastard, but that doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of him. Who knows if that bastard had a scheme?”

Di Jiu said softly, “Old Zhong, a scheme is a kind of strength. However, since you’re not afraid, let’s go. I’m not afraid either. Brother Yin, are you coming?”

Di Jiu still wanted to go despite what Yin Wushang had said. This made him admire him deep down.

To be honest, Yin Wushang did not want to go. He had only come here to remind Di Jiu, as he was worried that something would happen to him if he went. Once that happened, the Yin Family would not have the Seven-Patterned Foundation Elixir.

However, when he saw that Di Jiu was not bothered at all, Yin Wushang understood that if he declined Di Jiu’s good intentions again, the two of them would only have a client and Alchemy Emperor’s relationship.

He recalled how aggrieved his family was and how they all had to hide everywhere. His clan had been almost exterminated. He had not made the right choice last time. If he was still a coward this time, he reckoned that Di Jiu would not refine pills for him anymore in the future. Yin Wushang clenched his teeth. “Brother Di Jiu, I have sold my soul to you. I would perish with you in the Brilliant Lake Palace if I had to.”

Di Jiu laughed. “Old Yin, I admire your decision. When I become friends with someone, they only see their own benefits and don’t take any risks. I don’t care about them. To be honest, I don’t lack your alchemy fee. Since you are willing to go with me, we will be friends from now on.”

“Ha ha...” Yin Wushang, who was relieved, laughed out loud. He had heard Di Jiu calling him ‘Old Yin’ so he knew that he already regarded him as a friend.

Yin Wushang opened the jade bottle in Di Jiu’s hands and took out an elixir pill to swallow it.

He had told Di Jiu about Ye Xi as soon as he had gotten there. He had not had a chance to try the top immortal pill that Zhong Ao had mentioned, but he was now at ease so he tried it.

When he swallowed an immortal pill, Yin Wushang suddenly felt his Spiritual Sea grow hot. It started to increase along with his Spiritual Force.

Was this the elixir pill used to increase his Spiritual Force? Yin Wushang got excited and circulated the Heaven-Rocking Divine Cultivation Technique. The Yin Family’s cultivation techniques were the most formidable. When he was circulating his cultivation technique, his Spiritual Force would also be tempered a little.

After a few Qi circulations, Yin Wushang could feel a soft sound in his Spiritual Sea. He opened his eyes excitedly, looked at the waiting Di Jiu, and said, “Brother Di Jiu, I didn’t expect that you would have such a good pill. My Spiritual Force has broken through. This elixir pill can increase the Spiritual Force and expand the Spiritual Sea. It’s powerful. Too powerful. It’s the Immortal World’s top pill after all...”

Di Jiu took out three bottles of Spiritual River Pills once again and handed them to Yin Wushang. “Old Yin, these three bottles are for you. Although these elixir pills can increase the Spiritual Force and expand the Spiritual Sea, you are not quite right. The reason your Spiritual Force advance is because, besides the fact that you used a Spiritual River Pill for the first time, you have also put down the obstacle obstructing your Dao cultivation.”

He had put down the obstacle obstructing his Dao cultivation? Although Yin Wushang was dazed, he understood. He knew very well that Ye Xi held grudges and he dared not find Ye Xi since he was afraid of his large array. The point was to cultivate to this extent even if his cultivation level had a boost. However, that was not very likely. He should give up the chance to get revenge.

Yin Wushang, who understood one thing after the other, calmed down and bowed before Di Jiu. “Brother Di, thank you for your kind words.”

Di Jiu laughed and said, “Let’s bring Elixir Association Guild Master Chen along to eat Ye Xi’s immortal fruits. I hope this old boy won’t disappoint me.”
