Ninth In the World

Chapter 888: The Rules of the Dao Abyss

“Do you still want a trace of my soul imprint?” Di Jiu took a step forward and stared at Itinerant Yi Ji sarcastically.

There was a layer of gray color in Itinerant Yi Ji’s eyes. He cupped his fists before Di Jiu. “This is my fault.” After he said that, he turned to leave and instantly disappeared from the square.

Itinerant Yi Ji actually wasn’t a match for Di Jiu’s saber move? All the cultivators on the square, who had lived for countless years, were somewhat stunned. Once again, they seemed to have seen the expert of the old war on the Mountain Gaze. Many experts who had regarded Di Jiu as a dead person felt a hint of respect for him.

They knew very well that even if an expert like Di Jiu perished in the future, it would have nothing to do with them. As long as such an expert reached the third step, he would be another almighty of the universe.

Some third-step experts knew that Di Jiu had not used one saber move but had instead integrated two divine powers. However, they were also shocked by the fact that a person like Di Jiu had appeared after the Creation period.

Yi Ji had lost the Golden Page World and been resurrected after perishing. Indeed, his strength was not the same as it used to be in the past. Nevertheless, Yi Ji was no ordinary Dao Integration cultivator. Di Jiu could easily crush Yi Ji, which showed how terrifying his strength was.

In their opinion, the Creation Gate would never open again. Without the Creation Gate, they would be in the post-Creation era. Even if they cultivated to the third step or successfully reached the Integration Realm, they could not truly reach the Creation Realm.

If nobody reached the Creation Realm, when Di Jiu reached the third step in the future, he would probably control the universe on this side and become the top expert there.

They knew why Di Jiu had not killed Yi Ji. Even if Di Jiu killed Yi Ji, most of the people there would not offend Di Jiu, who was a top expert with endless potential, for Yi Ji’s sake.

“Brother Ah Jiu, you’re actually really powerful...” Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu, feeling shocked. He had also never expected that after Di Jiu reached the Dao Integration, he would be so powerful.

Before Di Jiu had reached the Dao Integration, he had seemed to be similar to him. Now, he was sure that he was too inferior to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu patted Dao Lord Po Xu’s shoulder. “I’ll find my divine beast. I’ll save you later.”

“I trust you.” Dao Lord Po Xu was now full of confidence. He believed in Di Jiu.

“Daoist Di, I was at fault.” A humble voice was heard. Then, Di Jiu saw Lightning fly over.

Lightning knew that Di Jiu was there to save it and that this situation had been caused due to its weakness. After addressing Di Jiu, it lowered its head in shame. Other people raised beast companions to help them. However, not only had it not helped Di Jiu, but it had even been captured and brought to this place, causing Di Jiu to waste time to come and find it.

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned Lightning, he discovered that nothing had happened to it. He reached out with his hand and swept Lightning into the Ninth World. If there was a war there later, Lightning wouldn’t be able to help at all.

Di Jiu did not utter a word during this whole process, but Po Xu laughed. “Yu Hao, I didn’t expect you to end up like this. You can never return what you take away, isn’t that right? Why did you show up today? Ha ha ha ha...”

The person who had brought Lightning back was a purple-crowned, fair-skinned man. He ignored Po Xu’s words and only bowed in front of Di Jiu before saying, “Dao Lord Di, strength is respected in the universe. Previously, I wasn’t aware of your strength and I offended you as a result. I hereby apologize to you. I don’t hold any grudges against you. I just like Lightning. However, I definitely didn’t harm Lightning.”

Yu Hao had already found out Di Jiu’s name from Lightning and had been threatened by Lightning more than once. Previously, he hadn’t thought so. After seeing Di Jiu now, he knew that Lightning had been modest with its words.

Even though Di Jiu was only a Dao Integration cultivator, he respectfully addressed him as Dao Lord Di Jiu.

“Brother Ah Jiu, don’t let this guy off.” Dao Lord Po Xu snorted.

Di Jiu had sensed long ago that at least a dozen third-step experts’ Spiritual Forces were on his side. Although the Dao Integration cultivators there were scared of him, he was certain that a few third-step experts must have wanted to cause him trouble. Regardless of how strong he was, he was outnumbered. Plus, this was not his territory.

Yu Hao was definitely not a good person. He was ready to give and take, which was simply formidable. This guy knew that he would likely be killed if he hid in the cave abode. Now that he had taken the initiative to come to the square, even though Di Jiu wasn’t very clear about the rules there, he knew that he should not be able to make a move.

Upon seeing Di Jiu remain silent, Yu Hao once again said, “I’ve offended you, Dao Lord Di. I’m willing to compensate you.”

After he said that, Yu Hao took out a jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu took the jade slip in shock. He didn’t believe that Yu Hao would dare to mess with him at this moment.

His Spiritual Force landed on the jade slip and he found out that this slip contained a set of void coordinates. He looked at Yu Hao with a frown, as he didn’t understand what Yu Hao meant.

Yu Hao said with cupped fists, “Dao Lord Di, this place is extremely cold and icy. I believe it’ll help you with your divine power cultivation. Other people wouldn’t dare visit this place, but you’ll definitely have no problem going there.”

After finishing his words, Yu Hao sent a voice transmission to Di Jiu. “Dao Lord Di, I know that I did something wrong. I cannot be your friend, nor would I dare become the enemy of someone like you. I sincerely give you this jade slip. Although you’re strong, if you encounter a restrictive treasure, it might harm you.

“Back then, I witnessed something. I saw an expert who was far stronger than you. That person even killed Xuanhuang Guyan. In the end, he met Palatial Lord Limitless’ Nirvana Extinguishing Mirror and nearly perished in his hands. Later on, that expert took out a Nirvana Ice Flower, which restrained Palatial Lord Limitless. It injured him seriously and nearly killed him.”

Palatial Lord Limitless? Di Jiu had heard of this person and knew that he had a Nirvana Extinguishing Mirror. It seemed that Yu Hao was sincerely telling him where he could integrate the ice-element divine power, so he probably wanted to resolve this grudge.

At this thought, Di Jiu put away the jade slip. He looked at Yu Hao and said, “Release my friend. As long as you don’t offend me in the future, I’ll let bygones be bygones.”

“Thank you, Dao Lord.” After Yu Hao cupped his fists and bowed, he walked to the law enforcement office at the side of the trading hall first and bowed. “I previously wronged Dao Lord Po Xu. Dao Lord Po Xu was not to blame. I’m therefore asking to be punished.”

When Yu Hao had just said that, a huge handprint landed down from the void and grabbed him. The handprint trembled and threw Yu Hao to one side of the Dao square. A column abruptly appeared. Yu Hao was bound on it by various restrictions. Meanwhile, an imposing voice was speaking. “Since you have falsely accused someone, you should suffer through 100,000 years of imprisonment.”

“Isn’t it supposed to be 10,000 years?” Yu Hao was shocked. 10,000 years would pass by quickly, but 100,000 years was too long.

A snort was heard from the void. “Are the rules set by you or the Dao Abyss?”

Upon hearing this voice, despite how unresigned Yu Hao was to his fate, he did not dare utter a word.

When Di Jiu saw Yu Hao being bound, he did not even sympathize with him. This guy had captured Lightning and brought it to the Dao Abyss. Even if he didn’t kill him, he would be lucky. As long as this guy existed in the void, Di Jiu would be displeased.

Since he didn’t want to cause trouble there, he would not say anything. Despite feeling displeased, Di Jiu would not make a move on a person like Yu Hao.

What shocked Di Jiu was that after waiting for a while, he did not see Dao Lord Po Xu being let loose. He asked in confusion, “Since you have misunderstood my friend Po Xu, why haven’t you released him yet?”

“You’re not the one who sets the rules in the Dao Abyss. It’s the Dao Abyss that sets them. Who told you that I have to release Po Xu?” An ice-cold voice was heard from the void.
