After Di Jiu drank the cup of tea, Ning Buqi heaved a sigh of relief. He then said, “You should be at the ninth-stage True Form Realm, right?”

Di Jiu replied calmly, “I’m not at the True Form Realm.”

“How is this possible?” Ning Buqi uttered in amazement. He’d believed that Di Jiu was definitely at the ninth-stage True Form Realm and was surely more powerful than Di Qiushui and Nong Xiuqi.

Di Qiushui and Nong Xiuqi were both at the ninth-stage True Form Realm. How could Di Jiu not be at the ninth-stage True Form Realm?

Di Jiu sat down. “I’m indeed not at the True Form Realm.”

Ning Buqi was even more relaxed now. If he had known that Di Jiu was not at the True Form Realm, he would not have wasted the Tear-Bearing Quintessential Root. One Tear-Bearing Quintessential Root was worth a top-notch level-nine spirit herb, so it was very scarce.

“I’m Ning Buqi. Ning Buqiao is my younger brother.” Ning Buqi did not immediately make a move, as he believed that there was nothing Di Jiu could do.

Di Jiu remained silent while he was waiting for Ning Buqi to make a move. He had originally wanted to ask what had happened between Di Qiushui and Ning Buqiao, but Ning Buqi had poisoned him and activated the Confinement Killing Array. Thus, he had not bothered saying anything until now.

“Were you the one who imparted cultivation techniques to Di Qiushui?” Ning Buqi’s tone grew somewhat stiff. It did not contain the same warmth as earlier.

Di Jiu said softly, “To be exact, Qiushui’s cultivation techniques were taught by her mother, and her mother’s cultivation techniques were taught by me. I have some cultivating resources and I gave a lot of them to her mother.”

Ning Buqi grew excited. “Those are definitely impressive cultivation techniques. Otherwise, Di Qiushui would not have improved so rapidly no matter how high her aptitude was.”

Di Jiu nodded. “You’re right. Until now, I have not seen anyone with a more powerful cultivation technique.”

“But how come you have not cultivated to the True Form Realm?” Ning Buqi looked at Di Jiu doubtfully.

Di Jiu said plainly, “I could attain the True Form Realm, but I’m not talking about the True Form Realm.”

Ning Buqi did not find anything wrong with his words. The highest cultivation level in the Cultivation World was only the True Form Realm. It was impossible to live in the Cultivation World if he had surpassed the True Form Realm. Thus, what was the difference between not having a Defense Array and not being at the True Form Realm?

Upon sensing that Di Jiu’s tone seemed not to be very respectful, Ning Buqi’s voice also grew cold. “Do you know what’s inside the tea that I gave you earlier? You can try circulating your Qi now. Did your Spiritual Force weaken? Are you unable to complete the Qi Circulation? Of course, your Spiritual Sea would not disintegrate so quickly. You can have the antidote as long as you hand over the complete cultivation technique of the Di Family…”

Di Jiu took out a jade slip without hesitation and said, “This is my complete cultivation technique, but I don’t want your antidote. I just want to ask you something.”

“Ask.” Ning Buqi excitedly grabbed the jade slip Di Jiu set on the side of the table. His Spiritual Force was about to scan it when he felt that something was not right all of a sudden.

Di Jiu did not sound like a cultivator who knew that his Spiritual Sea was going to disintegrate. Instead of taking it seriously, he wanted to ask about something else? This did not sound right.

“Are the people who wanted to kill my wife back then all here besides those who have died?” Di Jiu stood up as he said this.

“You…” Ning Buqi looked at Di Jiu in shock, as he did not understand what he meant.

Everyone in the meeting hall including for Ning Buqi also looked at Di Jiu in shock. They did not understand what he meant either.

“You only need to say yes or no.” Di Jiu sounded as if he was putting pressure on him.

Ning Buqi could not help but nod his head subconsciously. “Yes, they’re all here…”

“Oh, very well.” Di Jiu then turned and left.

“Let’s join forces and take him down first!” Ning Buqi, who felt as if he had been fooled by Di Jiu, bellowed when he turned to leave.

The rest of the Ning Family had been waiting for this. They took out their Dharma treasure and attacked Di Jiu immediately.

The cultivators who could participate in the Ning Family’s meeting were not ordinary. The frantic explosion of the Quintessential Essence of so many Dharma treasures as they were attacking Di Jiu at the same time instantly turned everything in this space into scraps. The Quintessential Essence exploded all over the place and all the beings in that space were unable to escape.

However, they did not see Di Jiu’s figure after attacking him.

“What’s going on?” Ning Chengju, who came hurrying over, asked in shock.

Ning Buqi reacted and hurriedly replied, “Uncle Chengju, did you activate the Confinement Killing Array?”

Before Ning Chengju could answer, everyone sensed that the space they were in had started to cave in. It was clearly a void-like space, but it seemed to have layers at the moment.

“The space is caving in! How is this possible…” Ning Buqi was then pressed into nothingness by the caving space.

The remaining Ning Family instantly experienced a disorder that subsided quickly.

After a few seconds, the place the Ning Family was in had completely turned into nothing. Nobody could even see that a clan used to exist here.

…

Di Jiu once again returned to the place where Xiangnu and the other two were in seclusion. He was not very happy because he did not like this but he’d had to do it.

Half a year had passed and both Xiangnu and Ah Xi had broken through to the fifth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, while Yan Yumo had broken through to the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Di Jiu felt that it was time for him to leave.

He called the three of them over and told Ah Xi and Yan Yumo about his decision to leave the Big Deep Planet with Xiangnu.

Ah Jiu and Yan Yumo knew Di Jiu would leave sooner or later but they were still flustered. Their rapid improvement had happened thanks to Di Jiu’s cultivation techniques and cultivating resources as well as the Starry Sky meridian he had opened up for them. They had only broken through to the True Cultivation for a year.

They had spent so much time at the edge of Harsh Spring Mountain Range because no experts had been there and they had not been under much pressure. Now that they had started cultivating, they naturally could not stay here any longer. They were bound to come across cultivators on Big Deep Planet. However, they had heard that these cultivators were seeking nothing but profit and were firm on killing people.

Xiangnu did not want to be separated from Ah Xi and Elder Sister Yumo either but she was aware that she had to make a decision. She naturally had to follow her grandfather.

“Ah Xi, Yumo, both of you lived independently for so many years before cultivating, so I’m not worried about your survival. I’ve imparted the foundation, so you only need time for the rest. You have sufficient cultivating resources on you, but I still hope that the two of you can go out and put yourselves to the test after every seclusion for a period of time. If both of you succeed someday, go to the Immortal World and ask around for me in the Square Immortal Continent’s Starry Sky Immortal City or the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Peace Hotel.” Di Jiu really cared about these two disciples of his. Most importantly, both of them had a kind personality.

“Master, are you an immortal? Have you been to the Immortal World?” Ah Xi and Yan Yumo looked at Di Jiu in shock.

They’d thought that Di Jiu was definitely a powerful being of the True Form Realm and had not expected him to have a place in the Immortal World. Di Xiangnu also looked at Di Jiu in shock, as she had never expected her grandfather to be an immortal.

Di Jiu sighed. “An immortal is just a cultivator. Both of you will know when you reach that step. There are no immortals or mortals in my eyes. They are all beings seeking to survive in the vast universe. The road to Dao is endless and both of you are on your own. We’ll part ways here.”

After saying that, Di Jiu disappeared with Xiangnu with a wave of his hand.

“Master, can I change my name to Di Ahxi?” By the time Ah Xi hurriedly asked this, Di Jiu had already disappeared.

However, Di Jiu very quickly said by his ear, “Alright, you will now be called Di Ahxi.”
