Chapter 715: Lost in the Void

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu stopped. He had no spatial location and did not know where he was, but he tried tearing the void a few times to no avail.

Based on this, it was obvious that the realm he was in was definitely not a realm lower than the Dao World. He could not tear the Dao World’s void, but he was sure that he could tear the void of the Immortal World and the Cultivation World.

Without the Dao World as coordinates and based on the fact that he couldn’t find Xu Baishang, Di Jiu knew that it was very unlikely that he would return to the Immortal World. He had originally wanted to go back to look for Nong Xiuqi to see if she had ascended to the Immortal World. Besides Nong Xiuqi, Xiangnu also remained in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.

However, his plan had changed quickly. In order to kill Jiang Dai, he had thrown himself into a corner of the void.

Di Jiu started to roam around the void. At first, he was still somewhat confident. However, he gradually felt disheartened.

A hundred years of seclusion was an easy feat for Di Jiu. However, he was completely impatient after looking for the way out for a hundred years.

Before entering the spatial rift, he used to have a goal and direction after all. With neither a goal nor any direction, it was the same no matter where he went.

Di Jiu had been to many voids, but this was the first time he had seen the void he was in. No light, no water, and no void beasts existed. Even the void blade flares and void meteorites were very sparse.

The void there was deficient in Divine Spirit Qi and the laws were chaotic. Even though Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, he could not stay in this void and cultivate for long. He had to find the way out as quickly as possible. If he continued roaming in this void for thousands of years, he reckoned that it would affect his temperament.

If he had not used the talisman, he would not have known where he was heading to. He had even used the Plane Split Talisman he had obtained from Xing Hong.

He had not expected to end up in dire straits by chasing after Jiang Dai.

Di Jiu was sure that Jiang Dai had gotten away. Although he had gotten rid of one of Jiang Dai’s arms, that fellow had the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda that could rip apart the void. Di Jiu was unaware of that.

He had many treasures in his possession as well. Apart from the Void Mountain and the Yin-Yang Taijitu, he still had the Reincarnation Bridge. However, besides the defensive and offensive treasures, none of the treasures was like the Five-Continent Dao Pagoda, which could rip apart the void.

Decades passed before Di Jiu stopped.

This was the seventh time he had seen a spatial rift in the void after wandering for more than 100 years. This spatial rift was similar to the spatial rift he had entered before he had gone through thousands of years to find the Dao World’s Worm Protectorate.

Even though he had seen such spatial rifts several times before, he did not dare enter it just because he was worried that he would have to walk through the spatial rifts again for thousands of years.

Now, he was obviously lost and had a hunch that if he did not enter this spatial rift, he might not necessarily go out after searching for hundreds of thousands of years.

Unless he could reach the third step, he could not rip apart the void there.

The Heaven Earth Law there was chaotic, and the Divine Spirit Qi was weak. Could he reach the third-step Dao Validation there? He could dream about that.

He made up his mind to enter there. Even if he had to walk through the spatial rift for thousands of years, it would be much better than being trapped in this side of the void.

Since he had decided, he didn’t need to hesitate. Di Jiu did not even bother drawing out the defense Dharma treasure before he immediately rushed into the rift.

An ordinary protective Dharma treasure was incomparable to his Sacred Body.

As soon as he entered the spatial rift, violent lacerating spatial blade flares swept over. In just a short time, they tore all of Di Jiu’s clothes, leaving bloody wounds on him.

Then, cracks started to appear in his bones.

Di Jiu was secretly shocked that the spatial laceration in this spatial rift was so powerful. If he had not had a Sacred Body, the only thing he could have done now was enter the Ninth World. Even drawing out the Yin-Yang Taijitu would not do. The Yin-Yang Taijitu could perhaps protect him for a while but not for a long time.

It was not that the Yin-Yang Taijitu was not good. However, his strength could not control the Yin-Yang Taijitu for long in this spatial rift.

Even though his physical body and bones were constantly torn apart, Di Jiu once again restored them. Despite all that, Di Jiu did not choose to enter the Ninth World. He tempered his body for the sake of dealing with this kind of situation. Furthermore, once he entered the Ninth World, he would rapidly become slower.

Di Jiu only hoped to leave this place soon and did not want to stay in the Ninth World to slowly pass the time. If that was the case, he would rather not enter this spatial rift but the Ninth World in the void.

…

At the entrance of the Divine Phoenix Inn in the Void City…

Two haggard women stood there for a long time. As the day was about to end, the thin, yellow-haired woman on the left sighed. “Beiwei, I’m afraid that Di Jiu will not come to the Void City to join us again.”

The two of them were Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei, who had come to the Void City to wait for Di Jiu. They had been waiting for nearly 3,000 years but had not received any news of Di Jiu, let alone seen Di Jiu himself.

Tang Beiwei looked especially haggard and exhausted.

Upon hearing Tang Xitan’s words, she sighed. “Yes, I suppose Big Brother Di is not coming back. Let’s go to Heaven’s Beyond. We can’t delay it any longer.”

Tang Xitan nodded her head. “I know Di Jiu’s personality. He definitely wouldn’t stand us up. If my guess is correct, something must have come up. Otherwise, he would definitely have come here. Even if he didn’t, he would send a message to us or even to this inn.”

Tang Beiwei nodded her head without saying anything.

She felt disheartened knowing that she could not go to Heaven’s Beyond with Di Jiu. She was aware of her own issues. Even though her strength was considered good, she was barely good enough in this place.

Among the many experts in Heaven’s Beyond were too many Dao Integration experts and third-step experts. Without Di Jiu, they did not know whether they could survive there.

She had to go there, as she had missed that war because of her seclusion. She had even heard that something had happened to Yimo, which was unacceptable in her opinion. She had to go there to have a look and investigate thoroughly.

“Beiwei, Daoist Jiao Da came to the Void City many times and is also looking for Di Jiu. Why don’t we contact him? If we go with him to Heaven’s Beyond, it’ll be a little safer.” Tang Xitan’s worries were not any less important than Tang Beiwei’s worries.

She was worried that the experts of the Great Beginning Realm would come to this void and sweep away all the divine continents of this realm.

She did not know where the Phoenix Clan’s territory was, but Tang Xitan knew. This was the place where the Phoenix Clan must have laid roots so it definitely could not be destroyed. Furthermore, Tang Xitan wanted to know the whereabouts of the Phoenix Clan’s Patriarch, Sacred Lord Han Huang.

She and Tang Beiwei did not have a burst of combat power and they were inexperienced. If monk Jiao Da could go with them, they would be much safer.

“I won’t go, I won’t go. As long as Brother Di is not back, I’ll never go. I want to live instead of going to Heaven’s Beyond with the two of you.” Before Tang Beiwei could answer Tang Xitan, Jiao Da’s voice was heard.

Jiao Da would definitely not be less eager to meet Di Jiu than Tang Xitan and Tang Beiwei. Unfortunately, he had gone there a few times and had only seen the two of them instead of Brother Di.
