Ninth In the World

Chapter 162: A Blue Flare Appears

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Di Jiu asked Little Tree to leave, the Luminous Starry Sky had already wrapped around his body.

The black water in the Vile Soul Lake had not wrapped around him yet, but an aura that eroded the soul strongly came forth. Di Jiu was sure that he couldn’t block the corrosion of the black lake water.

The black flame formed a black shield outside Di Jiu’s body. Meanwhile, the black water of the Vile Soul Lake hit the shield and made a buzzing sound.

When a strange smell was produced, Di Jiu used his Quintessential Essence to increase the intensity of the Luminous Starry Sky.

He soon discovered that the intensity of his black fire was slowly rising as his black fire burned the black water in the Vile Soul Lake. Then, it became a second-level flame and a third-level flame.

Could the Vile Soul Lake upgrade its own Luminous Starry Sky? Di Jiu was very surprised.

The black water of the Vile Soul Lake seemed to be aware of Di Jiu’s power, while the black water all around rushed towards Di Jiu like waves. This reminded Di Jiu of his fist move called the Furious Waves. These black waves were pretty similar.

After the black water waves were burned by Di Jiu’s Luminous Starry Sky, a dense black Vile Soul Thread was revealed. Although this thread could make one’s scalp go numb with fear, the black Vile Soul Thread only survived shortly before it was destroyed by Di Jiu’s black Dao fire.

Following the advancement of Di Jiu’s black Luminous Starry Sky, the burning intensity of the Luminous Starry Sky also grew.

Unable to do anything, the overwhelming black water began to retreat. Although Di Jiu knew that this black water would be good for the advancement of his Luminous Starry Sky, even if he did not know this, when the Vile Soul Lake forced him down, he would still not let it go.

As the dark lake water receded, Di Jiu’s black fire expanded wildly.

“This is a Dao fire! You actually have a Dao fire? Please stop! I will let you go....” An awful voice came from the Vile Soul Lake, asking Di Jiu to leave. Its tone had a hint of fear and panic. Souls were naturally afraid of fire.

This voice had always been overbearing, so the fact that it retreated was a big opportunity for Di Jiu. It would be best if he grabbed this opportunity and escaped quickly.

Di Jiu pretended not to have heard it; he had known for a long time that the Vile Soul Lake was controlled by a powerful evil soul that likely existed by engulfing the Principal Spirits of cultivators.

Now that he had come to the Vile Soul Lake, his Dao fire could advance again. It would not be so easy to make him leave. As the black flame swept out even more wildly, that stinking smell filled the entire Vile Soul Valley. Di Jiu felt the intensity of his fire increase continuously.

“Quick, stop! You can modify the conditions at will, as long as you stop...” The voice in the Vile Soul Lake became more anxious.

“What can you offer me to entice me?” Di Jiu said coldly.

“I have a lot of dharma treasures, cultivation techniques and spirit stones...”

Di Jiu was intrigued. “Do you have any body-tempering cultivation techniques?”

“Yes, I do...” A few jade slips suddenly appeared outside the Luminous Starry Sky. Di Jiu’s mental strength scanned the jade slips before him.

Soon, Di Jiu threw the dozens of jade slips down. “This is nonsense. How dare you say that these are body-tempering jade slips! Take these jade slips and leave!”

His Luminous Starry Sky was even more prosperous, so the loud sound kept getting denser.

“Don’t... I can promise you anything you want, as long as you stop burning me with this fire! I’m begging you...” The voice of the Vile Soul Lake sounded really scared. It had been happy to collect the Principal Spirits of other individuals, yet now that it was its turn to be burned by Di Jiu, it had panicked.

Di Jiu did not weaken the intensity of his black fire. “There is one thing that I need help with. I come from a place called Everlasting Domain Planet. If you have a way to get me back there, I can promise not to burn you.”

Di Jiu was indeed eager to return to the Yalun Continent. Although he wanted to kill the Ji Nation’s Wu Bahu, he was also extremely worried about Qu Xiaoshu.

“There is a way, there is a way!” the voice of the Vile Soul Lake shouted hurriedly without delay.

Di Jiu weakened the burning intensity of the Luminous Starry Sky before he said in an angry voice, “If you say so. But if you can’t satisfy me, you are dead.”

The voice of the Vile Soul Lake was even more hoarse as it said, “If the Everlasting Domain Planet is in the same plane as this place and your cultivation level is powerful enough, you can go there by tearing this plane or flying through the void. If it is not in this plane, then...”

For a long time, the voice of the Vile Soul Lake did not explain.

Di Jiu’s Luminous Starry Sky started to burn again as he said dismissively, “Tear the plane? Do you think I needed you to tell me that?”

“There is another way! You can pass through by using the Plane Split Talisman, but the place where the Plane Split Talisman will arrive will not necessarily be where you want to go!” the voice of the Vile Soul Lake shouted quickly again.

Di Jiu weakened the burning intensity of the Luminous Starry Sky once again. He knew that one way would be to tear the plane, as this would be necessary to reach the True Form Realm. However, he had not thought of the Plane Split Talisman, which also seemed to be a plausible solution.

Unfortunately, he might not be able to find a Plane Split Talisman that could tear a plane in the Polar Night Continent.

“What exactly is the black water in the Vile Soul Lake?” The reason Di Jiu asked this was because the black water in the Vile Soul Lake could make the Luminous Starry Sky advance.

“It’s Principal Spirit black water. The Vile Soul Thread is formed by the evil mental strength of cultivator souls...” the voice in the Vile Soul Lake answered very fast, worried that Di Jiu might attack again.

“I heard that there has been a blue flare here. Ever since this blue flare appeared, many people have advanced. What is that flare? Take it out and let me see it!” Di Jiu asked.

The voice in the Vile Soul Lake was silent. A long time passed before it said, “The blue flare is a dharma treasure fragment. However, it is not mine.”

“Is the flare essence of a piece of dharma treasure fragment enough to allow a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to advance to the Golden Core Realm? What shape is it?” Di Jiu asked. Even the Book of the World could not allow a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to reach the Golden Core Realm with just a look.

“It’s a piece of...” As the voice of the Vile Soul Lake spoke, the depths of the Vile Soul Valley cracked again and a blue flare essence rose into the sky.

Suddenly, Di Jiu felt an extremely clear Dao Law. Meanwhile, his blurry galaxy meridian became clear and grew stronger...

Di Jiu knew that he had to hurry, so he quickly used the Galaxy Manual. Thanks to this clear Dao Law, the rich Spirit Qi around him seemed to squeeze to his side. There was no need for Di Jiu to try hard to absorb it, as it approached him automatically.

After a few Qi Circulations, Di Jiu felt his cultivation level break the barrier of the first-level Essence Soul Realm and enter the second-level Essence Soul Realm. His injuries had also disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, his cultivation level was still rising. Despite his unstable foundation, when he entered the second-level Essence Soul Realm, his insight on the Dao became clearer and his foundation was also very strong.

Even his Dao fire and Luminous Starry Sky had advanced from the third-level to the peak third-level.

This was definitely a quality item. Di Jiu could only feel some faint blue leaves in the blue flare. When he noticed that the blue flare was about to converge again, Di Jiu did not care about anything else. He immediately used his mental strength escape technique to grab the blue leaves.

When the presence in the Vile Soul Lake realized that Di Jiu was about to rush out, it tried to open its mouth to stop him. However, it reacted too late. Ever since Di Jiu had attained the second-level Essence Soul Realm, his mental strength escape technique had become very fast.

His fingers touched the blue leaves, yet before he could catch them, the surrounding space suddenly became chaotic. Numerous spatial wind blades appeared and mixed with a bit of spatial dislocation, scaring Di Jiu pretty badly.

Boom! The two spatial wind blade fragments brushed past Di Jiu’s body. Given Di Jiu’s cultivation level, he was as weak as a thin paper against the spatial wind blades, which passed through his body, causing two bloody trails to leave Di Jiu’s chest and thighs.

Fortunately, the two spatial wind blades were only fragments, so they were unable to split Di Jiu into two. If they had been any bigger, Di Jiu was sure that he would have been torn apart.

He did not care about grabbing the blue leaves anymore. His mental strength just stretched out wildly. Then, his body relied on his mental strength to sense the law fluctuations and he rolled back and forth in the dense spatial wind blades.

Di Jiu tried his hardest to avoid being torn by the big spatial wind blades, but sometimes he couldn’t hide. He could only let the small wind blades brush past his body. Suddenly, he felt very glad that he could feel the spatial law fluctuations. Otherwise, he would have been continuously injured and turned into slag.

A loud booming sound rang out in the Vile Soul Valley. The entire valley felt as if it had been tossed and turned over countless times. The earth was flying and the laws were chaotic.

“Oh no!” the voice in the Vile Soul Lake screamed while the black soul water was lifted and turned into countless black spots before disappearing into the chaotic spatial wind blades.
