Chapter 512: The Ning Family

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

When Di Jiu had still been in the Qi Refinement Realm, he had used the Ninth Dao Law to help open up Geng Ji’s galaxy meridian. Now that he had established his cultivation technique, he formed the Ninth World with the Ninth Dao Law and the Sacred Yin Pearl along with his Spiritual Sea that had transcended nirvana. He wanted to open up the Starry Sky meridian for Ah Xi, Yan Yumo, and Xiangnu, which seemed effortless.

After opening up their Starry Sky meridian, the three of them cultivated under the Spirit-Gathering Array Di Jiu set up using supreme-grade spirit meridians and seemed to make rapid progress.

The three of them survived battles all year round. Di Jiu was not worried about their future survival. Plus, they were not considered young anymore, so he had to let them increase their cultivation level frantically.

In just a few months, the three of them broke through to the mid-stage Qi Refinement Realm and kept steadily improving.

Di Jiu started analyzing the Five-Element escape technique. The Five-Element escape technique and his Spiritual Force escape technique both had their own merits. Sometimes, the Spiritual Force escape technique was not almighty either. When the Spiritual Force was suppressed to the limit, the Five-Element escape technique would be more powerful.

Due to the Ninth Dao Law, Di Jiu was a pioneer ancestor who had founded the Starry Sky Nomological Qi Circulation technique. He also understood the Five-Element law extremely thoroughly and analyzed the Spiritual Force escape technique all year round. In addition, he’d made rapid progress after obtaining the Five-Element escape technique.

Five months later, the three of them successfully attained the Foundation Establishment Realm simultaneously. Di Jiu also stopped analyzing the Five-Element escape technique and headed to the Ning Family on Big Deep Planet.

No place on an ordinary True Cultivation planet would exceed the range of Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force. He went to see the Ning Family with only one thought in mind.

When he arrived outside the Ning Family’s Defense Array, Di Jiu knocked lightly on the restriction. He had to clarify the situation even if Xiuqi brought her son to kill the Ning Family.

Xiangnu had been only 17 years old when she’d left the Ning Family. Although she had known a lot of things at 17, there were still many things she had been unaware of.

Plus, there was still something he did not understand. Why had Xiangnu’s parents not imparted any cultivation knowledge to her when she had been 17 years old?

His daughter Di Qiushui and the Ning Family would not overlook such a matter.

…

The True Cultivation Sect was not the only formidable entity on Big Deep Planet. There were also numerous formidable True Cultivation clans.

The Ning Family was a top-notch formidable clan that had made everyone tremble with its every movement since decades ago.

Even the heritage of the top-notch True Cultivation sects on Big Deep Planet did not necessarily go as deep as the Ning Family.

However, they had provoked a powerful enemy. Decades ago, two foreign cultivators had visited the Ning Family and been attacked by the Ning Family’s experts from all sides for whatever reason.

The entire Ning Family had not expected those two cultivators to be two exceptional experts. During their chaotic battle with the Ning Family, they had killed the seventh-stage True Form Realm Family Head, Ning Zhenshen, as well as ninth-stage True Form Realm Grand Elders Ning Yuechang and Ning Jiu. They had also killed dozens of experts above the Void Spirit Realm. Even the Ning Family’s top genius, Ning Buqiao, had been killed in the battle.

The Ning Family had weakened completely after that battle.

The current Ning Family had turned from a first-rate clan into a barely second-rate one. This was because Ning Buqi had suddenly had the opportunity to attain the first-stage True Form Realm. Otherwise, the Ning Family would not even have been a third-rate clan.

The Ning Family wanted to restore its glory, so it needed to have an enormous opportunity. There was now one in front of it, which was the appearance of Big Deep Planet’s Kui1 Cloud ancient city.

The Kui Cloud ancient city was an ancient battlefield where countless top-notch experts had perished, leaving behind countless treasures and cultivation techniques to be inherited. It was said that some top-notch spirit herb gardens had also been left behind.

However, too few people were entering the Kui Cloud ancient city. The Ning Family was now holding a clan meeting to prepare to enter the Kui Cloud ancient city.

Suddenly, someone actually knocked on the restriction.

Ning Buqi, who was the family head and sat on the highest seat, frowned slightly. Under normal circumstances, when a Defense Array restriction of the clans or sects was shut, it would not be casually knocked by those who came to pay a visit. Not only was this impolite, but there was also a kind of provocation behind it.

Even if they had to search for someone, they would have to wait outside the Defense Array until it opened and someone came out. They could then seek that person.

“Da Yi, go take a look first. Who is knocking on our family’s Defense Array restriction at such a time?” Ning Buqi’s voice was somewhat cold.

“Yes,” a middle-aged man in brown responded before quickly retreating outside.

…

“Who are you looking for?” Di Jiu did not wait long before the Defense Array was opened. A middle-aged man in brown appeared in front of him, his tone sounding somewhat cold.

Di Jiu told him faintly, “I’m Di Jiu and I’m here to search for my daughter and wife. I heard that they came here before.”

“Di Jiu? The middle-aged man in brown frowned as he repeated his name. He then stared at Di Jiu in astonishment. “Are you Di Qiushui’s father?”

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right. I’m Di Qiushui’s father, Di Jiu.”

“Please come in, please come in.” The middle-aged man in brown could not hold back the happiness in his eyes. He then stood aside and reached with his hands out to welcome him.

Di Jiu immediately entered the Defense Array door without any hesitation.

“Daoist Di, please follow me.” The man in brown quickly closed the Defense Array once again and led the way.

“Da Yi, who is he?” Ning Buqi, who was sitting in the highest seat, frowned upon seeing Da Yi take the initiative to bring an unfamiliar young man in.

This was the Ning Family’s clan meeting. Da Yi was his right-hand man, yet he did not know the severity of this gathering. He had asked him to take a look at who was knocking on the array door, but Da Yi had personally brought him in.

Before Ning Buqi could flare up, Da Yi bowed. “Family Head, this is Daoist Di Jiu. He is Qiushui’s father and he came here especially to find her.”

“You’re Di… You’re Qiushui’s father?” Ning Buqi stood up in shock as his eyes filled with pleasant surprise. “Please take a seat. Da Yi, go make some tea. Ping Fu, let Uncle Ju know that a noble guest has come to visit our family. Hurry…”

When Di Jiu sat down, he could clearly see Ning Buqi’s hands trembling slightly. He was certainly excited to the ultimate.

Even though Spiritual Force restrictions were isolated everywhere in the Ning Family, they were just like a decoration before his Spiritual Force. He could easily permeate them.

He saw Ping Fu go to wake an old man who was currently in seclusion and tell him Di Qiushui’s father was here. His Spiritual Force scanned that old man, who was excited and pleasantly surprised as he took out an array flag. Di Jiu’s Array Dao had surpassed the level-nine Immortal Array Emperor, so he did not even need to check to know that this array flag was the one activating the Ning Family’s Confinement Killing Array.

The Ning Family’s Confinement Killing Array was not a low-level array. It was definitely a level-nine Confinement Killing Array. However, this True Cultivation World level-nine Confinement Killing Array was no different from a child’s play in his eyes.

“Qiushui’s issue is really hard to explain. My family has let her down…”

Da Yi had taken a jade kettle out, and Ning Buqi took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Di Jiu. “Although Buqiao has already passed, I bear the responsibility for this as his Brother. Fortunately, this is still redeemable…”

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on this tea. Even though he did not cultivate the Nomological Dao and was unable to sense the poisonous nomological aura in the tea, he could tell that there was a kind of spirit herb called Tear-Bearing Quintessential Root inside. This herb was a colorless and odorless poison. He was now cultivating the Nomological Dao of the universe and could see through the toxicity law at first sight.

There was no antidote for such a poison. One’s dantian and Spiritual Sea would definitely disintegrate without a doubt after one drank it. No matter how high one’s cultivation level was, there was no way to be saved. Of course, this was only according to the True Cultivation World. Di Jiu cultivated the Heaven Earth Nomological Dao. Thus, he knew that there would always be an antidote for any kind of poison.

Di Jiu picked the teacup up without hesitation and drank it in one gulp. He silently sighed. He really did not want to exterminate the entire family if he could. However, he had to do so today.

He drank this tea just to give his opponent a chance to strike. That way, he could tell his daughter when he met her in the future that he had not made a move first.
