After the Teleportation Array was activated, Di Jiu was enveloped by the white flare and sent away. At the same time, he felt that something was not right.
Theoretically, he would not be squashed and torn apart by space from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to the Square Immortal Continent. However, he was being unceasingly squashed by space.
If he had not had an Immortal Divine Body, he would have been seriously injured.
Di Jiu had taken the Teleportation Array from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent. Such a terrifying spatial fluctuation should definitely not appear.
Bang! A powerful force threw him onto the floor.
Despite Di Jiu’s Immortal Divine Body, some of his bones were broken.
Fortunately, he had a tough body, so after one Qi Circulation, he did not need any elixir pills to recover.
He was in a desolate place without any signs of human habitation. There was only a desolate, declining killing aura around.
Di Jiu’s heart sank. He knew why he had fallen from space. It was because the Teleportation Array foundation of the Square Immortal Continent had been torn. Therefore, when he’d moved over from the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City, a fixed teleportation had become a random space teleportation.
This was not what Di Jiu was worried about the most. The problem was that this place was completely silent. It was filled with dilapidation and desolation and it lacked any life-force.
Di Jiu was worried because he was sure that he had indeed been transported to the Square Immortal Continent. When he had left, he had already found a new source of the Immortal World’s light from providence. He had even used the Floating Flame Flag and the Seven-Star Aqua Flag to ensure the light from providence would shine in the Square Immortal Continent.
Theoretically, the Square Immortal Continent’s light from providence would become more and more exuberant. He had not returned to the Square Immortal Continent for many years, but even if its light from providence had not permeated every corner, it could not be declining like this.
Di Jiu rapidly took out his Ultimate Cloud Auger, whose Dharma Array had been altered by Zhong Ao. Even though he could not hold on for long, its speed was much faster than all the supreme-grade flying immortal weapons he had.
The Ultimate Cloud Auger was stimulated. Di Jiu managed to find his direction in half an hour and the Ultimate Cloud Auger immediately drove to maximum speed.
When the Ultimate Cloud Auger was about to split open a day later, Di Jiu could finally feel a bit of life-force aura.
A silhouette of the Starry Sky Immortal City appeared in his Spiritual Force. The existence of the Starry Sky Immortal City made him feel at ease. The Dharma Arrays he had set up had apparently been attacked before. However, after he used the Floating Flame Flag and Seven-Star Aqua Flag, they became a level-eight Immortal Array.
Unless the Immortal Emperor came over for the sake of such Immortal Arrays, they absolutely would not be broken.
After one more hour, Di Jiu put away his Ultimate Cloud Auger and watched the Starry Sky Immortal City’s auxiliary city, which was not far away. His eyes were filled with anger.
There was a Defense Array in the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City, but it was not the level-seven Immortal Array that he had left behind. It had changed into a new level-six Immortal Array.
He was comforted that he had left the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Defense Array behind before departing. As long as the people of the Starry Sky Immortal City did not betray it and wanted to enter, they would have to break through the Defense Array. Since it was not broken, the Starry Sky Immortal City was obviously doing fine.
That was not right. Di Jiu sensed with his Spiritual Force that one of the two Five-Element Flags that he had set up was missing. The Seven-Star Aqua Flag was missing and he even sensed that the Floating Flame Flag was indistinct.

City Lord…
A trembling voice was heard.
Di Jiu had already seen the gray-haired Qu Tong, who was a third-stage Golden Immortal. He had not improved much.

City Lord Qu, I’m not in the Starry Sky Immortal City. You must be the person who handled the Starry Sky Immortal City. How come you’re wandering around here?
Di Jiu frowned slightly. His Spiritual Force did not scan the Starry Sky Immortal City. He was worried that the Starry Sky Immortal City was being occupied by someone and once his Spiritual Force entered it, he would be discovered.
Even though he was an early-stage Immortal King now, if the Starry Sky Immortal City was occupied by someone, he could rely on his Array Dao to get rid of the other party. Of course, this was provided that he did not let anyone know that he had returned.
Qu Tong saw Di Jiu’s eagerness and hurriedly said,
City Lord, the Starry Sky Immortal City is fine. It’s just that there are too few experts here and, given the large array isolation outside, the Spiritual Forces inside the Starry Sky Immortal City cannot be swept out. I can only keep watch outside. Once something happens, I will teleport back immediately.

Qu Tong’s tone was somewhat excited. Although Di Jiu’s cultivation level was not high, his Array Dao skills were definitely not ordinary. Di Jiu used to be a Golden Immortal in the past and had gotten rid of many Immortal King experts.
He could not sense Di Jiu’s strength after all these years, yet he was sure that Di Jiu was not just at Immortal King Realm right now.
Di Jiu sighed.
No need to examine any further. Your action has already caught the attention of someone else. Tell me about the Starry Sky Immortal City first. Who came and snatched my treasure, which ensured the light from providence would shine?


Ah…
Qu Tong cried out and then asked urgently,
City Lord, the treasure which ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World has been snatched away?

He was the one who had discovered Sky Bamboo River and witnessed Di Jiu establish the Starry Sky Immortal City with his own eyes. He had even helped establish it. He longed more than anyone for the Starry Sky Immortal City to prosper, bringing along the light from providence in the Immortal World to restore it once again. However, the treasure that had ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World had once again been snatched away. Heaven simply wanted to destroy the Immortal World.
It was no wonder that after the Immortal World’s light from providence had gathered to a certain extent, he had sensed that it had stopped and started thinning.
Di Jiu gestured with his hands.
You don’t have to worry. I had two array flags to ensure the light from providence will shine. However, one of them was snatched away and there is one left here. Let’s return to the city first.


Yes.
Qu Tong was relieved when he heard that there was still one array flag.
He then started narrating the Starry Sky Immortal City’s unforeseen events. After the Starry Sky Immortal City had been established, it had been very prosperous in the first few years, even when Di Jiu had left. Many cultivators had broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm and some had even reached the Immortal King Realm.
However, good things did not last forever. An expert had occupied the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City by force. If it had not been for Jing Luowen’s quick reflexes, which had helped him activate the Defense Arrays without delay, the Starry Sky Immortal City would have been occupied.

How formidable was the person who occupied the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City?
Di Jiu asked, even though he had guessed that this person must have been an Immortal Supremacy. Otherwise, he would not have dared to make a move when there were a few Immortal Kings and late-stage Immortal Kings like Lu Xikun in the Starry Sky Immortal City.
Qu Tong said solemnly,
The person who occupied the Starry Sky Immortal City was only a late-stage Immortal King. However, Sect Master Lu said that the person who blasted the auxiliary city’s Defense Array was an Immortal Emperor and a very formidable one at that. We were confused because the Immortal Emperor blasted the auxiliary city of the Starry Sky Immortal City, but he did not attack the Starry Sky Immortal City. Instead, he handed the auxiliary city to that Immortal King and left.

Di Jiu knew very well that this Immortal Emperor had not simply left. He had taken his Seven-Star Aqua Flag away.
He had killed Immortal Emperors before, no matter how formidable they were, and taken his Seven-Star Aqua Flag away. They had to die. However, why had that Immortal Emperor not taken the Floating Flame Flag instead of the Seven-Star Aqua Flag? This was indeed hard to explain. Besides, if one wanted to enter reclusive cultivation somewhere, which place could be better than the Starry Sky Immortal City? This city was the place of origin of the Immortal World’s new light from providence. He did not believe that an Immortal Emperor could not tell this much about the Starry Sky Immortal City.
There was definitely something wrong about this, but what?
Qu Tong added,
After becoming aware that an Immortal Emperor was coveting the Starry Sky Immortal City, we were all desperate. Sect Master Jing decided to leave from the Thunderous Floating Island to find you. He said that if we wanted to restore the Immortal World, there was nobody besides the City Lord that could do it. Sect Master Lu told Sect Master Jing not to go and that the Starry Sky Immortal City needed him. He took the initiative to head to the Thunderous Floating Island to find you…


I understand.
Di Jiu brought Qu Tong along and entered the Starry Sky Immortal City from another array door. Nobody had made a move in the auxiliary city.
Di Jiu was somewhat astonished. According to his theory, somebody had already known that Qu Tong was conveying information outside and allowed it. Since Qu Tong had found him and entered the Starry Sky Immortal City, the other party should be stopping them soon.
…

The City Lord has returned,
Once Di Jiu entered the Starry Sky Immortal City, Yan Xiaosha rushed out and shouted in excitement.
Then, Virtuous Nirvana Sect Master Jing Luowen, Bei Chutai, Liu Yuxin, Tan Mo and the others rushed out one after another.
Di Jiu was very happy. Even though the Immortal World’s light from providence restoration had been halted because of his set-up before he had left, the Starry Sky Immortal City was like an iron tube right now. Its law implementation was very good. Even though many people had joined the Starry Sky Immortal City all these years, there were not any disturbances.

City Lord, how is Yuxuan?
Jing Luowen immediately asked while trembling. In her eyes, Mo Yuxuan was the only hope of the Virtuous Nirvana Sect.

Yuxuan is fine. Thank you, Sect Master Jing, for your hard work in the Starry Sky Immortal City all these years.
Di Jiu did not explain about Yan Hui. The Starry Sky Immortal City was not exactly the same as when he had left. It needed some improvements. Actually, Di Jiu knew very well that the Starry Sky Immortal City was now ready to fail and break at any moment.
He did not understand why that Immortal Emperor had not come, but he had to upgrade the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Confinement Killing Array into a level-nine Immortal Array before that Immortal Emperor arrived.
Otherwise, no matter how capable Di Jiu was, they could only await death.

I need to upgrade the Immortal City’s Confinement Killing Immortal Array now. Everyone, be prepared. There might be a huge battle.
Di Jiu stated clearly what they would do next without delay.
When he was not around, even though Lu Xikun, Jing Luowen, and Tan Mo were there, Di Jiu was still the City Lord and the backbone of the city.
Now that Di Jiu was back, everyone felt much more at ease.
Di Jiu had been originally a level-nine Immortal Array Emperor, and the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Defense Arrays had been set up by him. It took him two days to upgrade all the Starry Sky Immortal City’s Defense Arrays and Confinement Killing Arrays into level-nine Immortal Arrays.
After he was done with these, he went to Sky Bamboo River’s array core. He believed that the reason why that Immortal Emperor had not made a move was largely related to the array core that ensured the light from providence would shine in the Immortal World.
