Ninth In the World

Chapter 926 - A Terrifying Twilight Supernormal Ability

Ji Fengyu waved his hands dismissively, seemingly unwilling to continue discussing this topic. "Let's not talk about this matter. Daoist Di, the void ocean is completely uncharted territory, so I'm hesitant to head over there myself. If you're willing, why don't we head over there together?"

Di Jiu replied, "I intend to take a look at that void whirlpool, for I feel that the possibility of leaving this place through a void whirlpool is greater."

Ji Fengyu hesitated for a short while before agreeing. "Alright, let's head to the void whirlpool. Which of the two do you have in mind?"

"I'm okay with either," Di Jiu answered, for it made no difference to him.

Ji Fengyu laughed boisterously. "Then I shall lead the way."

Upon saying that, he turned and left, his back facing Di Jiu. This seemed to be an unimportant act, yet it actually signified a level of trust.

The speed Di Jiu and Ji Fengyu moved at was very fast. In Di Jiu's opinion, the other man possessed a Spiritual Force as powerful as his own.

Ji Fengyu was not surprised by the fact that Di Jiu could match his speed. How could Di Jiu have arrived at this space if he was not capable of such a thing?

The space was very empty, and meteorites were a rare sight as well. The two of them spent a week traveling before arriving at the first void whirlpool.

"This is the place. My Spiritual Force permeated it before, but I sensed that it is quite dangerous, so I have yet to enter it." Ji Fengyu pointed at the void whirlpool as he explained.

Di Jiu looked at the void whirlpool before him. It looked completely the same as the one he had used to enter the Heavenly Witch Realm. When his Spiritual Force permeated it, a spatial dislocation aura could be felt. There were also some minute spatial cracks.

"I can sense the spatial dislocation within, but these spatial dislocations would destroy any Spiritual Force that it came into contact with. There are also some small spatial cracks," Ji Fengyu said when he saw Di Jiu observing the void whirlpool.

Di Jiu nodded. "That's right. There are indeed spatial dislocations here. However, we can try to enter it. Why don't I enter first? At least you will be prepared better if anything happens…"

Di Jiu stopped speaking. He silently sneered as his Spiritual Force sensed another aura inside the void whirlpool. This aura was not a void aura but a World aura.

Di Jiu had no experience with this kind of World but he had some knowledge of it. Usually, when the average cultivator attained the third step, they would craft their own World. This was something no one else other than their owner could touch.

Back when Xiuqi had been plotted against, she had burned her soul and escaped into a World. This world had been the embryonic form of a World crafted by third-step cultivators.

The reason she had been able to accomplish that was because of the Corral Dao Pearl. Due to the Corral Dao Pearl and Di Jiu's Nomological Dao, she had been able to rip apart the embryonic form of the third-step experts' World just as she had been on the brink of death.

The whirlpool World before him was definitely not a World in its embryonic form. It was a fully-formed one.

Di Jiu's Spiritual Force scanned Ji Fengyu briefly. He instantly recognized the aura of the World as an aura slightly similar to that of Ji Fengyu's Dao rune aura. Without question, this void whirlpool had been left behind by Ji Fengyu, whose objective was to lure Di Jiu inside.

Once he entered Ji Fengyu's World, he would be completely helpless regardless of his own capabilities. All his secrets would be exposed as a result.

Di Jiu sneered silently. If he had not comprehended his Dao, he would have entered the void whirlpool, as he would not have been able to sense Ji Fengyu's World aura.

Ji Fengyu fell silent for a short moment before saying, "I don't suggest that you enter it, Daoist Di. My cultivation level is higher than yours, yet even I am not confident about being able to avoid those spatial dislocations."

Di Jiu fell silent as well. Then, he nodded before agreeing, "You're right. I'm young and I have suffered a lot by arrogantly thinking that I can do anything. You have lived here for tens of thousands of years and you're definitely more knowledgeable than me. Thus, let us head to another place."

Ji Fengyu was indeed cunning, but even he could not help but be dumbfounded by Di Jiu's words. What was going on? Had he successfully advised Di Jiu? Something was not right.

Upon seeing Di Jiu turn away and leave, Ji Fengyu suddenly blocked his path. Ji Fengyu was no longer smiling as he commented coolly, "Daoist Di, you are indeed very impressive. You are the first person I've met who spotted my World at the Dao Integration Realm."

Evidently, he had guessed that Di Jiu knew that the void whirlpool was actually his World. In that case, any kind of pretense was meaningless.

Di Jiu did not bother replying and took out the Heavenly Aqua Saber immediately. He really wanted to know how different his strength was at the early-stage Dao Integration Realm before and after he had gained insight into his own Dao.

Ji Fengyu laughed and praised him. "Not bad. You bravely unsheathed your weapon despite facing a stronger opponent. You should be aware that I am not allowing you to enter my World because I'm afraid you will escape but because I want to steal all your secrets and possessions."

In Ji Fengyu's opinion, there was no way Di Jiu was a simple man given that he had managed to come to this place at his cultivation level.

"So naggy." Di Jiu could not be bothered to continue speaking with Ji Fengyu. He instead raised his Heavenly Aqua Saber, creating a saber screen before slashing down.

When the saber screen appeared, Di Jiu felt as though he had received a confidence boost. He instantly had the impulse to roar. At that moment, he knew that his strength had increased multifold since he had faced Ye Zifeng.

Unlike the indomitable aura the Wind-Rustling Move carried, this time, the saber move executed by Di Jiu flowed smoothly and naturally.

When the saber screen appeared, boundless saber intent was swept up, transforming into an even more intense saber aura that locked onto Ji Fengyu. Rising rustling winds and cold waters were no longer created by his saber aura. Instead, this seemed like a reality created by the saber move.

Ji Fengyu exclaimed in surprise. The saber move executed by Di Jiu was not something a Dao Integration cultivator could achieve. Ji Fengyu no longer dared view Di Jiu as an average Dao Integration cultivator. Similarly, he did not treat Di Jiu as a formidable opponent. As he faced this indomitable Wind-Rustling Saber Screen, Ji Fengyu did not retreat. Instead, he advanced. He did not take out his Dharma treasures, choosing to lift his hand to make numerous abstruse Dharma seals in the meantime.

A twilight beam suddenly landed in front of Di Jiu's Wind-Rustling Move. Regardless of how frightening the Wind-Rustling Move's saber aura was, it weakened under the twilight beam. The saber aura's killing intent was separated, and the saber aura dissipated…

Di Jiu's expression changed. This was the first time he was seeing someone who could execute such a supernormal ability.

The twilight was filled with a boundless ancient aura. No matter how indomitable the Wind-Rustling Move was, it would still be corroded in time and eventually dissipate. The twilight move was affected by Di Jiu's saber move and was on the verge of disintegrating, but Di Jiu's Wind-Rustling Move saber aura dissipated first.

This was a top-notch time law…

Di Jiu cultivated the nomological cultivation technique and knew just how frightening the time law was. Thus, he gasped. Compared to Ji Fengyu's time law, his time law was as laughable as an infant starting to learn how to walk. Fortunately, he did not execute his own nomological time supernormal ability, or his saber screen would disintegrate at a faster rate.

He had to escape! This was the only thought on Di Jiu's mind.

However, before Di Jiu could retreat, Ji Fengyu said, "You're not my match. I don't wish to kill you, however, as I think that you'd make a good comrade. Back then, I entered the Creation Gate but was forced away by that Ye fella. I came here in search of an item. If we work together, I believe that we will open the Creation Gate once again."
