Ninth In the World Chapter 504

“It's really a True Cultivation ancient cave abode…” Shen Ziyu picked up a piece of pitch-black rock and watched it crumble into pieces. It also had a bit of a spiritual aura.

Nong Xiuqi could see that as well. “Big Sister Ziyu, this Spirit Stone turned into a muddy rock after a long time…”

Shen Ziyu nodded. “Yes, these Spirit Stones were left outside for too long so they turned into mud. There is also some Spirit Qi in the mud.”

“This is a Teleportation Array…” Nong Xiuqi walked to the edge of a hexagonal round table and spoke as she touched that indentation.

“What is teleportation?” Shen Ziyu had spent a short time cultivating, so there were many things she did not know.

Nong Xiuqi was different. Di Jiu had left part of the True Cultivation knowledge in her consciousness, so she knew much more than Shen Ziyu.

Nong Xiuqi explained, “I heard that a Teleportation Array is a kind of space-converting array set up by Array Dao experts with the use of some law…”

“Space-converting large array…” Shen Ziyu mumbled to herself but found this too unfathomable.

She had heard of Array Dao experts, but it was shocking to hear about people who could set up Teleportation Arrays.

“This Teleportation Array can definitely lead to the Cultivation World,” Nong Xiuqi said calmly. She could only follow Di Jiu, as he would take her and leave sooner or later. Hence, this Teleportation Array was not largely related to her.

Shen Ziyu's heart started palpitating. Nong Xiuqi and Di Jiu were together, so she definitely could not be with him. After she paid a visit to him, she would come here alone and teleport to the Cultivation World.

Since she had chosen the True Cultivation route, she should work hard to try to be the best.

It was like her choice to cultivate ancient martial arts in the past. She would eventually stand on the highest peak and be considered the first expert to break through to the Semi-Core Realm.

“Let's go out first.” Shen Ziyu started warming up, as she did not want to stay here.

She wanted to greet Di Jiu as soon as possible and leave this place afterward.

While Nong Xiuqi and Shen Ziyu flew away from the Ural Mountains, a gray-haired man was howling at Sa He in Ka Bie River Town's Earth Union garrison. “I told you before that you have to hold up Shen Ziyu. Why did you let her enter the Ural Mountains?”

Sa He had already explained many times, but this superior did not seem to understand at all. He was still howling without a break.

“Useless idiot! We are not capturing Shen Ziyu for her life. Even if we wanted her life, now would not be the right time!” The gray-haired man scolded him and smashed the teacup in his hands at the same time.

Their inability to keep Shen Ziyu behind did not mean anything good for the development of the Ural Liberal Union. Their Union would be unable to replace the position that the Earth Union had occupied in people's hearts in the past.

Shen Ziyu and Nong Xiuqi did not return to Ka Bie River Town again, even though Shen Ziyu could fly with her sword. Ka Bie River Town was far away from Wang Chuan Mountain Range. After Shen Ziyu flew alone for some time, she kept sitting in Nong Xiuqi's flying boat as they traveled back to Wang Chuan Temple.

Shen Ziyu was still immersed in the thrill of flying on her sword, but Nong Xiuqi was feeling moody. It had again been more than half a year since they'd gone out, but Di Jiu had not returned yet.

“Xiuqi, don't worry. Di Jiu is much stronger than us. We went deep in the Ural Mountains and made it out, so Di Jiu will be fine.” Shen Ziyu hurriedly comforted Nong Xiuqi.

She had originally planned to meet Di Jiu and then bid him and Nong Xiuqi farewell before heading to the Cultivation World. However, Di Jiu had not returned yet, so Shen Ziyu could only keep it in and accompany Nong Xiuqi there.

Following that journey, they lived in seclusion in Wang Chuan Temple and cultivated. The Earth Union was getting increasingly unorganized.

Nobody knew that Shen Ziyu had entered reclusive cultivation in Wang Chuan Temple. It was rumored that she, Mu Linte, and Wa Di had perished on the Ural Mountains. Tang Xueshan and Luo Weike had gone missing while hunting a demon beast in the Amazon Primeval Forest.

The few Semi-Core experts of the Earth Union had also gone missing and perished. The Earth Union eventually vanished in the historical long river.

All kinds of union power replaced the Earth Union but did not work wholeheartedly for the safety of the Earth. They did everything for the sake of self-development and did not care about life and death on Earth or even how many cities were destroyed.

Back then, the Earth Union had kept its word on Earth. After formidable demon beasts had appeared, the Earth Union had stepped forward and many experts had gathered to deal with the demon beasts together. However, these numerous unions did not accept one another, so they did their own thing.

The warriors and demon beasts on Earth had entered a disorganized, chaotic battle.

Still, no matter how formidable the demon beasts were or how disorganized the human warriors were, the surroundings of Wang Chuan Temple were peaceful.

Regardless of how formidable the demon beasts were, they would be unable to approach the major array Di Jiu had set up.

At that moment, a young man and a young woman were rushing towards Wang Chuan Temple, both carrying one level-one demon beast in each of their hands.

A young woman walked out of the dense fog of Wang Chuan Temple. As she watched the two of them approach, her eyes were filled with tender love. “Wangchuan, Qiushui, you still need to enter reclusive cultivation besides having a fight with demon beasts. Both of you have wandered in Wang Chuan Mountain Range all day. There might not even be a rabbit here anymore in the future.”

“Auntie Yu, we got it. Where's my mother?” The youth stuck out his tongue as he spoke.

A younger woman walked out and rushed into the woman's embrace. “Mother, I heard that there are many high-level demon beasts in Amazon. My younger brother and I want to take a look. Wang Chuan Mountain Range is simply boring. There aren't any demon beasts worthy enough for us to attack.”

The woman groaned. “I won't allow that. The two of you still want to go to Amazon despite your low cultivation level? Senior Tang was so formidable, but he still vanished without a trace there.”

The young lady pouted. “Our cultivation levels are not low at all. Younger brother and I are at the seventh-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, the same as Auntie Yu. Mother, you're only at the seventh-stage Golden Core Realm.”

Nong Xiuqi was the one who had said she would not allow it. She now had the strength of the seventh-stage Golden Core Realm. These two youths were her and Di Jiu's twins.

The older one was called Di Qiushui, and the younger one was called Di Wangchuan. Besides reminding one of Wang Chuan Temple, Wangchuan also had another meaning that expressed earnest anticipation[1]. Both of them had been born with a Starry Sky meridian, and their aptitude was heaven-defying to the ultimate limit. They also had valiant comprehension and absorbed things very quickly. Nong Xiuqi was not good at teaching children. Otherwise, the two of them would have possibly broken through to the Golden Core Realm together.

The young woman who had come out first was Shen Ziyu, who had stayed and accompanied Nong Xiuqi here.

No matter how good Shen Ziyu's aptitude was or how ample her cultivating resources were, she was unable to be compared to Nong Xiuqi whose meridian had been absolved by Di Jiu's Ninth Dao Law. Within ten years, she had cultivated to the seventh-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

Shen Ziyu saw Nong Xiuqi frown and took the initiative to say, “Xiuqi, you actually can't push the blame on Wangchuan and Qiushui. You should also have realized that the higher your cultivation level is, the slower your improvement is when cultivating on Earth. Forget about us. Wangchuan and Qiushui's aptitude is very good. I suspect that the reason they have not broken through to the Golden Core Realm yet is because the Heaven Earth Law here is too low. It's much harder if you want to break through to a higher realm.”

Shen Ziyu had been cultivating to this day, so she was not someone who knew nothing. Earth was not a cultivation planet. They had cultivated to this extent completely based on the cultivating resources of Nong Xiuqi. In the true Cultivation World, they would have had many cultivating resources and they might have improved multifold.

Both Shen Ziyu and Nong Xiuqi thought of this. She sighed and said, “How could I not know? It's just that Big Brother has not returned yet and I'm really worried about him.”

She was aware that Shen Ziyu wanted to use the Teleportation Array below the Ural Mountains to enter the Cultivation World. However, she wanted to go to the starry sky to find Di Jiu's whereabouts.

Di Jiu had said back then that he wanted to leave Earth's Tribulation Transcendence. After so many years, he had not returned yet. Therefore, she wanted to search for him.

However, at the same time, she was aware that going to the void to search for Di Jiu given her strength would not be much different than sacrificing her life.

She had worked hard and cultivated, but Shen Ziyu was right. When it came to cultivation on Earth, the higher one's cultivation level was, the slower one's improvement would be.

“Xiuqi, how about this? Let's go around all the demon beast districts on Earth once and destroy some formidable demon beasts. It will take one or two years. If Di Jiu still does not return by then, we'll go to the Cultivation World,” Shen Ziyu said.

She felt that she needed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Elixir Realm more quickly and attain the Golden Core Realm. Otherwise, her cultivation speed would start becoming slower. She was already too old.

Nong Xiuqi hesitated for a long time and looked at Di Wangchuan and Di Qiushui, who were filled with anticipation. She eventually sighed and nodded. “Let's do that then.”
