Chapter 290: The Top Sect in the Small Central World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yan Xueyi said, “I have heard of the Excellency Life-Exterminator before. He is rumored to be one of the most top-notch experts in the history of the Small Central World. It is not clear which era he belongs to. This man killed without a reason. He kept killing people all the time, whether he was feeling good or not. If one faced this man alone, one would be killed. Very few cultivators were able to escape from him.”

“Killing had become his habit, and he liked to address himself as His Excellency. Thus, he came to be known as the Excellency Life-Exterminator. This was actually a sarcastic title. When the Excellency Life-Exterminator went missing later, according to rumors, he had set off to wreck the Immortal World. Nobody expected that he would build a coffin chamber here in the Desert River Forbidden Zone.”

Cheng Ji nodded in agreement. “I agree with Sect Master Yan’s analysis. People had thought that things would stabilize with his demise, but it seems like things haven’t gotten better even after his death.”

Shen Feng shook his head. “I think the Excellency Life-Exterminator is not dead yet.”

Everybody else went silent. They knew that the Excellency Life-Exterminator was not dead. The laughing sound they had heard earlier had obviously come from the Excellency Life-Exterminator. Their only concern now was whether the Excellency Life-Exterminator could break out of the Life-Extermination Coffin.

“What do you think, Young Master Red Embellishment?” Cheng Ji asked sincerely as he turned towards Di Jiu.

From what Cheng Ji could tell, Di Jiu was the most powerful person among the few of them. Besides, Di Jiu’s array formation techniques could not be weak either. If his array formation techniques had been poor, he wouldn’t have been able to refine the restriction that he had left in the Small World while he was only at the Essence Soul Realm, let alone be able to find this place.

Di Jiu said, “It is true that the Excellency Life-Exterminator is not dead. However, he is breathing his last breaths. I think he is only left with his Principal Spirit and a decaying body. He can still catch a breath or two in the Life-Extermination Coffin, but once he is out of it, he will meet his doom. He won’t dare come out.”

Di Jiu was sure that the Excellency Life-Exterminator wouldn’t dare come out. If he dared to, he would have chased after him when he had broken out of the Life-Extermination Coffin earlier. The Rainbow Immortal Peach must have been more important to the Excellency Life-Exterminator. After Di Jiu had eaten the Rainbow Immortal Peach, he had felt clearly that the Excellency Life-Exterminator didn’t want to let him leave the Life-Extermination Coffin.

“But we can’t get out either.” Shen Feng sighed. The Moonlight Snow Mountain only had two True Form experts. Besides her, there was also a Grand Elder. The Moonlight Snow Mountain had faltered when she had gotten stuck in there. However, she didn’t know that the True Form experts of the Genesis Sect and the Mirage Sword Sect had been killed by Di Jiu, or that these two sects were in worse shape than the Moonlight Snow Mountain.

“We can get out. I only need a reasonably good-quality Suspended Void Gold,” said Di Jiu. Although he had some replacements for the Suspended Void Gold, their effect would not be as good. If nobody had a Suspended Void Gold, then he would have to make do with the slightly inferior materials he had to set up a unidirectional Teleportation Array.

“Can you set up a Teleportation Array, Young Master Red Embellishment?” Cheng Ji asked in surprise.

Yan Xueyi and Shen Feng looked at Di Jiu in shock. They were well aware that the Suspended Void Gold was the main material necessary for setting up a Teleportation Array. If Di Jiu wanted a Suspended Void Gold, then it had to be so that he could set up a Teleportation Array, right?

Very rarely had anyone in the Cultivation World been able to set up a Teleportation Array. Even if one wanted to set up a Teleportation Array, one would need a Space Crystal.

The value of a Space Crystal was much higher than that of a nine-star sect. Setting up a Teleportation Array in two locations required the use of a Space Crystal. One didn’t need to understand the spatial order to use the Space Crystal and set up the Teleportation Array. One only needed to make use of the spatial order in the Space Crystal to form the teleportation connection route.

As the resources in the Cultivation World had grown scarce, the Space Crystal had become a legendary existence. All the Teleportation Arrays in the Cultivation World had currently been passed down from ancient times and were at most being patched and repaired.

Most of the Teleportation Arrays outside of the Sky Route City in the Small Central World had been passed down from ancient times. Only a few of them had been built later. Those few had almost used up all the Space Crystals left in the entire Small Central World.

“If we have a Suspended Void Gold, I would like to try,” answered Di Jiu. He planned to set up a unidirectional Teleport, which was something he had set up before.

“I have a Suspended Void Gold.” Cheng Ji quickly took out a piece of gray-colored gold and handed it over to Di Jiu.

Yan Xueyi and Shen Feng didn’t say a word, although they were shocked. They didn’t ask Di Jiu how he would set up the Teleport either.

If people found out that Di Jiu had a Space Crystal, the entire Cultivation World would covet it. If Di Jiu could set up the Teleport even without a Space Crystal, it would mean that he had come into contact with some kind of spatial order, which was incredible. Who would dare offend an expert who had come into contact with a spatial order?

Then, a few of them recalled that Di Jiu had broken the Excellency Life-Exterminator’s Teleportation Array. If Di Jiu could break the Teleportation Array of the Excellency Life-Exterminator, wouldn’t it make sense that he could build one of his own?

“That would make things easy. Please wait while I set up the unidirectional Teleport.” Di Jiu was exhilarated as he took the Suspended Void Gold from Cheng Ji.

He refined array flags after array flags and started to set them up.

Cheng Ji, Yan Xueyi and Shen Feng were all Array Dao Experts. In particular, Cheng Ji was a level-nine Array King. However, even Cheng Ji couldn’t understand why Di Jiu arranged the array flags the way he did.

Nonetheless, he was sure that Di Jiu had come into contact with a spatial order.

Only half a day later, Di Jiu stopped what he was doing and said, “Everybody, please enter the array I set up.”

Nobody suspected Di Jiu of playing any dirty tricks. The trio entered the Teleportation Array that he had set up without any hesitation. Di Jiu wouldn’t have had to wait until now if he’d wanted to attack the three of them—he could have killed them when he had just entered.

“Daoist Di, does the Teleportation Array have to be destroyed once we are teleported?” Shen Feng asked as he stood on the array engraving.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Of course it will not be destroyed. The bastard who calls himself Life-Exterminator sneaked up on us. I will leave the Teleportation Array here for anyone who is lured by the Excellency Life-Exterminator to use. Even if they have nothing to take, they will still be able to leave by using the Teleportation Array.”

“I am worried that the Life-Exterminator will destroy this Teleportation Array after we leave.” Cheng Ji hated the Excellency Life-Exterminator to the core. He had obviously been able to get the Blood Drop Jade Card from the Excellency Life-Exterminator because he had walked into the trap that the Excellency Life-Exterminator had set up to trick him into coming here and kill him with the coffin nails.

“You don’t have to worry. I have incorporated the Blood Drop Jade Card in the Teleportation Array. Although it can teleport other people, if the Life-Exterminator dared to come, he would be trapped and killed here,” Di Jiu said matter-of-factly.

Cheng Ji gasped in a breath of cold air. How powerful of an Array Dao ability would that require? He hadn’t even noticed that a Confinement Killing Array had been hidden within the Teleportation Array. Considering Di Jiu’s current strength, he wouldn’t dare say much, even if Di Jiu took his Quintessential World.

When the Teleportation Array was ignited, a gentle flare swept up Di Jiu and the other three individuals at the same time.

As the four of them were swept away, a gray shadow broke out of the Life-Extermination Coffin. As soon as the gray shadow went near the Teleportation Array, it let out a shriek and rushed back to the Life-Extermination Coffin. He swore that if he was able to restore his strength, he would kill Di Jiu.

…

“This is the perimeter of the Desert River Forbidden Zone!” Yan Xueyi, who recognized it the moment he landed on the ground, shouted out in glee.

“Correct, this is the perimeter of the Desert River Forbidden Zone. Daoist Di, thank you very much for saving our lives.” Shen Feng, who was a Sect Master, had to bow down and thank Di Jiu.

Di Jiu had saved them thrice in a really short time. This debt of gratitude was hard to repay.

Di Jiu cupped his fists and said, “I have to return to my sect and seclude myself. Till we meet again…”

As soon as he said that, Di Jiu turned and left by using the Spiritual Force escape technique.

Given his current strength, even if he used the Spiritual Force escape technique against the Skygold Protectorate Lord, the Skygold Protectorate Lord wouldn’t dare do anything to him.

“Which sect does Daoist Di belong to?” Yan Xueyi remembered that Di Jiu was an Itinerant Cultivator, so she was puzzled when she heard that Di Jiu was returning to his sect.

“He’s a member of the Galaxy Sect. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for this incident. We must go to the Galaxy Sect and thank him in due course,” replied Cheng Ji.

Yan Xueyi agreed with Cheng Ji. However, when she heard his reply, she was puzzled. “The Galaxy Sect? Why haven’t I heard of this sect? Was it formed after I got trapped in the Desert River Forbidden Zone?”

He had been in the Small Central World for a very long time. Therefore, he would surely know if there was a Galaxy Sect there.

“Wait…” Shen Feng blocked the way of a young cultivator who was passing by. “Have you heard of the Galaxy Sect?”

The young cultivator, who could not sense Shen Feng’s strength, quickly bowed in respect. “I have indeed, sir. The sect master of the Galaxy Sect is Young Master Red Embellishment, who is also known as Di Jiu. When Di Jiu became the sect master of the Galaxy Sect, he renamed it to Galaxy Master Sect. Many Itinerant Cultivators have joined the Galaxy Master Sect, which is now the top sect in the Small Central World…”

Their guess had been right—the Galaxy Sect had been built after they had gotten trapped in the Desert River Forbidden Zone.

“The top sect in the Small Central World?” Yan Xueyi frowned. Although he was grateful to Di Jiu for saving his life on a few occasions, calling the Galaxy Master Sect the top sect in the Small Central World was an exaggeration.

“The Prophecy Pavilion and the five large sects are also in the Small Central World,” Shen Feng said coldly. “Even though the Galaxy Master Sect has a powerful sect master, it is still a newly-established sect, so it should be far from being the top sect.”

The young cultivator who had been questioned chuckled. “Sir, you must not have heard. The Genesis Sect and the Mirage Sword Sect have almost been removed from the ranks of the five large sects in the Small Central World. The True Form cultivators of these two sects went to the Galaxy Master Sect to extract its spirit meridians but were all killed by Sect Master Di. If Sect Master Di hadn’t regarded everyone as fellow cultivators in the Small Central World, he would have totally exterminated the two sects. The cultivators of my generation must learn from Sect Master Di’s generosity.”

“All the True Form cultivators of the Genesis Sect and the Mirage Sword Sect have been killed?” Yan Xueyi asked, unable to contain her surprise.

She knew that Xiao Wu and Gai Shu had been attacked sneakily on the Small Central Planet, but the Genesis Sect and the Mirage Sword Sect had three other True Form experts.

Only Cheng Ji remained silent. When Xiao Wu had been killed on the Small Central Planet’s square, he had suspected that Di Jiu had done it. Now it looked like his suspicions had been confirmed.

“Of course. When the Galaxy Master Sect took over, Chang Xiao, the Pavilion Lord of the Prophecy Pavilion, came personally to congratulate Di Jiu. Even the Skygold Protectorate Lord of the True Dominion came.” The young cultivator, who didn’t sense the shift in the trio’s way of thinking, continued speaking in admiration.
