Ninth In the World

Chapter 682: The Danger of the Realm

“Stop.” A slightly aged voice was heard before a blond man came in. As soon as he entered the hall, everyone could sense his dignified aura.

“Greetings, Senior Ao.” Everyone stood up and greeted him with cupped fists.

Although he was only at the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm, he was indeed a senior as compared to the cultivators in the hall.

Ao Kui, the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan, had been in that position for a very long time and the Dragon Clan had thrived because of him.

Behind Ao Kui were the Demon Clan’s Sacred Emperor Fan Yuan and three others. Two of them were the Sea Clan’s Sacred Emperor Ma Jujia and someone with long hair and a slender figure. There was a faintly discernible aura all over him that seemed like it could vanish at any time. None of the cultivators present recognized this person.

Although he wanted to teach Tang Beiwei a lesson, Xiang Mu had to give her face when he saw Ao Kui coming to speak. He stared at Tang Beiwei coldly and did not use his domain aura to suppress her anymore.

Instead, Ji Lie, who was standing next to Xiang Mu, looked at Tang Beiwei and said faintly, “Junior Sister Tang, things have changed over the years, so I suggest you listen to Brother Xiang and don’t act like an indifferent enemy. If Junior Sister Tang really wants to do this, I am very sorry for that.”

Even though Ji Lie did not mention clearly helping Xiang Mu deal with Tang Beiwei, he meant that if she dared not take out the Nirvana Tree fragment, then she shouldn’t blame him and Xiang Mu for being rude.

Tang Beiwei was fine. However, Tang Xitan’s heart sank when she heard this. If Ji Lie and Xiang Mu joined forces, she would not even be able to hold them back, no matter how famous the Phoenix Clan was. She could not even contend against the Devil Clan behind Ji Lie, let alone Ji Lie. Moreover, Xiang Mu was just as terrifying.

Ao Kui did not say anything about Ji Lie’s threat but he pressed his hands together. “Everyone, please have a seat. This time, we invited everyone here to talk over some important things. Of course, since the Dragon Clan’s Celestial Sphere Coiled Dragon Fruit has matured, we’ve invited everyone to taste it. Come, we’ll serve the Dao fruit.”

Several delicate, pretty women carried a jade plate that was filled with sparkling, crystal-clear Celestial Sphere Coiled Dragon Fruits. Even from afar, they could smell a kind of clear fragrance that made them feel refreshed.

However, Fan Yuan glanced at Ji Lie with a sneer. This guy had always been domineering so he had turned arrogant when Ye Mo had not returned. If this guy found out how heaven-defying Di Jiu was, or that he had a good relationship with Tang Xitan, he probably would not be so arrogant.

Still, he would never remind Ji Lie of this. Fan Yuan believed that Di Jiu and Ji Lie would die together, which would be a good thing. Di Jiu had killed the Demon Clan’s Jin Chengxun, so he could not wait to kill Di Jiu personally.

Ji Lie nodded at Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia with an evident meaning. After the Hundred Clan Conference ended, when he and Xiang Mu suppressed Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan, he hoped that Fan Yuan and Ma Jujia would also follow him. No matter how formidable Tang Beiwei and Tang Xitan were, they dared not say anything under the suppression of the four experts.

Fan Yuan smiled at Ji Lie, pretending that he did not know anything so that he would take the initiative to suppress Tang Xitan. He he... Ji Lie would kill Di Jiu first.

Ma Jujia deliberately pretended not to see Ji Lie’s gaze, which made Ji Lie furious.

Ao Kui then said, “Many of you should know some of the reasons we invited everyone here today, but what I want to say is that the real reason is more terrifying than what everyone has heard.”

Ao Kui had seen the world, so everyone grew solemn when they heard him and carefully listened to what he wanted to say. Even the cultivators who wanted to eat the Celestial Sphere Coiled Dragon Fruit put down the Dao fruit.

Ao Kui pointed at the slender man beside him with an unclear feeling and said, “Before I talk about this, let me introduce a friend first. You might not have seen the friend beside me, but you should have heard of his clan, the Shadow Clan.”

Sure enough, many cultivators’ expressions became clear when they heard that.

Even though the Shadow Clan was also in this realm, no representative from the clan had come today because they rarely came out, just like the Kun Peng Clan. Nobody even knew where their territory was. The Shadow Clan’s cultivation technique was related only to them and gave off a faintly discernible feeling. After Ao Kui introduced the man from the Shadow Clan and looked at him, everyone naturally understood.

Ao Kui added, “I will not talk about the next parts. I’ll let the Daoist from the Shadow Clan speak.”

The Shadow Clan’s man cupped his fists and introduced himself with a hint of huskiness. “My name is Na Di’an. Before I talk about these things, I would like to first thank Senior Brother Ao Kui from the Dragon Clan for saving me and helping me recuperate for several years.”

Then, he once again bowed before Ao Kui and added, “I was injured because I went to a place many people should have heard of. It’s called Heaven’s Beyond.”

Sure enough, the cultivators seated around were having a soft discussion. The Beyond of Heaven and Earth was really famous, but it was not easy to get there. Many people subconsciously fixed their eyes on Tang Beiwei. Rumor had it that there was a Teleportation Array in the Sacred Dao World that led to the Beyond of Heaven and Earth, where Tang Beiwei should have been before.

Tang Beiwei grew excited as well. While staring at Na Di’an, she paid attention to what he said later.

Na Di’an’s voice became increasingly deeper. “If everyone thinks Heaven’s Beyond is a treasured cultivation ground, I can tell you that one cannot easily advance to the third step there. At least when I was there, I didn’t sense many cultivation treasures. There is only chaos if anything. I was almost killed because I met a woman named Nuo La, who is extremely powerful. If I weren’t from the Shadow Clan, I would have been killed...”

The hall was filled with silence. Everyone knew that if there were two clans in this world that were proficient in escaping, the Shadow Clan was definitely one of them and the other was the Wing Clan.

Na Di’an took a deep breath and added, “What I want to tell everyone is that our universe will soon be in terrible chaos. Eventually, even our homeland will vanish, let alone our lives...”

Numerous cultivators looked at Na Di’an in disbelief. This was kind of an exaggeration, right? This Void Realm had stood in the universe for many years. He he... It would vanish just like that?

Na Di’an, who did not mind everyone’s attitude, sighed. “Everyone probably thinks I’m telling lies, but this is truer than true gold. According to the information I received, the woman named Nuo La came from a place called the Great Beginning Realm. However, their world is not perfect. Rumor has it that half of the realm is gone.

The half of the realm gone from the Great Beginning Realm is this void, including the Sacred Dao World of the Human Clan, the Myriad Demon Realm of the Demon Clan, the Void Ocean Realm of the Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Devil Realm of the Devil Clan, the Divine Phoenix Realm of the Phoenix Clan, and many more. I can say that this realm, where all the different clans are, is very likely separated from the Great Beginning Realm...”

Many cultivators gasped. If this was the case, how big was the Great Beginning Realm? No, that was not right. What did Na Di’an mean by this? Could the experts of the Great Beginning Realm want to take back all this realm? That was not very likely, right?

Na Di’an said in a deep voice, “I believe everyone has guessed that I was injured because I heard this news. The experts of the Great Beginning Realm want to take back all the realms on our side and become one with the original Great Beginning Realm, thus completely restoring the Great Beginning Realm.”

“This is impossible. The Sacred Dao World was restored by my elder brother.” Tang Beiwei spoke abruptly.

Na Di’an’s gaze turned to Tang Beiwei before he nodded at her. “Yes, I have great respect and admiration for Dao Lord Ye. Many years ago, the experts of the Great Beginning Realm used to come here and take away all the fragmentary realms before merging with the Great Beginning Realm. When Dao Lord Ye only had the strength of Primordial Chaos, he restored the Sacred Dao World with the help of the Tree of the World and the Mountain of the World. He also suppressed the experts of the Great Beginning Realm so that they would not dare come to this realm.

Alas, when Dao Lord Ye joined the war that year and disappeared, no experts in our realm stood up. The Sacred Dao World was restored by Dao Lord Ye, and Dao Integration experts might appear in the future. Unfortunately, the time is too short. The experts of the Great Beginning Realm will not wait for us to have a Dao Integration expert.”

Tang Beiwei’s heart sank even more, as her vague intuition had been correct. Ever since she had been unable to go to Heaven’s Beyond, she’d felt that something had happened. This indeed had turned out to be true.
