In the Ninth World, the life-force of Nong Xiuqi, who had absorbed the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, seemed to be continuously increasing, which made Di Jiu feel relieved. To his surprise, Ye Yimo seemed to have a faint shadow in the Thunder Pearl.
Di Jiu felt even more pleased, as the Quintessential Essence of the Universe was indeed good stuff. In fact, Di Jiu wasn’t sure whether the Two-Realm Flower could save Ye Yimo. Now that she had a faint shadow, it was more likely that the Two-Realm Flower would save her.
Di Jiu began tearing the void. He should be in a place between the Immortal World and the Dao World. It would be simple for him to go to the Dao World, but it was more difficult to go to the Immortal World from the Dao World.
Fortunately, his body had broken through. He believed that if he went to the Vast Ruins again, it would be pointless to use the Yin-Yang Taijitu.
Di Jiu tore the rifts in the void and his Spiritual Force passed through, finding the direction he wanted to go.
However, the universe was vast. With every void torn apart, endless planes appeared. After just half a year, Di Jiu did not find any positions related to the Square Immortal Continent or the area between the Immortal World and the Dao World.
Several years had passed, but Di Jiu still had no clue. He just continuously tore all the voids. He believed that one day, he would find them.
…
In the Square Immortal Continent, a woman with disheveled hair was staring at a tall jade statue of a fairy that was gazing at the void with a long saber on its back outside the Starry Sky Immortal City.
The woman stared at the statue and murmured with gratitude. She had messy hair and was wearing nothing on her feet.
Her bare feet were covered with dirt and some scratches.

Do you know him?
a long-haired male cultivator near the female cultivator asked abruptly.
The barefoot woman turned her head and frowned at the long-haired man with a trace of murderous intent on her body.
Upon sensing the murderous intent of the female cultivator, he quickly said with cupped fists,
Daoist, I only asked casually. Forget it if you don’t want to answer.

The female cultivator replied calmly,
My mother said that if men I don’t know talk to me, they must have bad intentions.

The male cultivator chuckled and said,
I’m Hai Longming. How should I address you?

The female cultivator frowned. She stared at Hai Longming and said,
You’re just an Immortal King. How dare you ask for my name!

Hai Longming was startled. He could not see the female cultivator’s cultivation level and he thought that she had a concealment cultivation technique. Based on what she had said, he understood that she had a much higher cultivation level than him.
However, Hai Mingming soon felt that something was amiss. Although the female cultivator was talking to him, her eyes were a little confused, as though her mind was somewhere else or she didn’t realize what she was saying.
His heart was moved as he said,
I admire your extraordinary looks. May I know if you came from the Starry Sky Immortal City?

The female cultivator didn’t seem to notice Hai Longming’s words at all. Instead, her eyes fell on that jade fairy statue again.
Hai Longming, who felt more and more certain, said,
This senior is called Di Jiu and he is the one who prevented the Square Immortal Continent from entering a sunset state. He also found the Square Immortal Cauldron, condensed the light from providence of the Square Immortal Continent again, and saved it from the sunset state. As a result, the Square Immortal Continent is as glorious as it is today.

Do you see the Starry Sky Immortal City up ahead? This Starry Sky Immortal City was established by Senior Di. As long as one cultivates in the Starry Sky Immortal City for one month, their cultivation level will rise. However, the Starry Sky Immortal City relies on immortal crystals, so not every cultivator can have that place.


Di Jiu?
The female cultivator repeated the name and suddenly knelt before the statue.
She was feeling silent sadness, and tears streamed down her face. Deep down, she wanted to tell everything to the statue, but she didn’t know how to start.
Upon seeing that, Hai Longming hurriedly kowtowed to Di Jiu’s status respectfully. Then, he secretly stood aside and observed the woman, who kept crying.
After some time, the woman stood up. She looked at Hai Longming and said,
I only know that I’m called Di Qiushui and Di Jiu is somehow related to me. Where is he? He’s definitely in this Immortal City.

After saying that, Di Qiushui headed toward the Starry Sky Immortal City.
At that moment, Hai Longming was certain that Di Qiushui was somewhat perplexed, so he quickly said,
Senior Di ascended to the Upper Realm long ago. However, I know where he ascended from. If you want, I can take you over there to have a look.

Di Qiushui frowned and looked at Hai Longming.
My mother also said that I should not go with someone I don’t know.

Hai Longming said with a slight smile,
Your mother said that too? I’m Hai Longming, and you’re Di Qiushui. We already know each other.

Di Qiushui stared blankly at Hai Longming and nodded after a while.
You’re right. We already know each other.


Then I’ll take you over.
Hai Longming felt overjoyed and only hoped to take away Di Qiushui as quickly as possible.
Di Qiushui had the same surname as Di Jiu and even somewhat looked like him. Plus, she had kowtowed to him. Therefore, he could be absolutely sure that Di Qiushui was Di Jiu’s descendant.
Who was Di Jiu? He was the expert who had saved the entire Square Immortal Continent. Apart from that, he had also heard that the void Beast Tide had appeared in the Thunder Court Immortal Continent, where Di Jiu had gone to solve the situation.
How could such an expert have ordinary treasure? Besides, his cultivation technique had to be extraordinary. If Di Qiushui was really a descendant of Di Jiu, Hai Longming would completely strike it rich. Becoming an Immortal Emperor in the future would no longer be a dream, as Di Jiu would definitely pass down part of his treasures to Di Qiushui. At the same time, Di Jiu had also cultivated the cultivation technique on Earth.
Hai Longming would not respect Di Jiu like other people would. After all, the Radiant Fortune Immortal Sect, where he came from, had been destroyed by Di Jiu.

Alright…
As soon as Di Qiushui spoke, a woman in a blue fairy skirt landed before the two of them.

You…
Di Qiushui looked at that woman and her eyes became bloodshot again. Tears streamed down her face once more.
The woman in the blue skirt also had tears streaming down her face. She rushed over to Di Qiushui with one step, kneeling and hugging Di Qiushui as she said,
Mother.

Di Qiushui stretched out her trembling hand and stroked the woman in the blue skirt. Her voice trembled.
You… You…


Mother, I’m Xiangnu…
The woman in the blue skirt knew that her mother was a bit muddle-headed. Thus, she wept in grief and also hugged Di Xiangnu hard. She knew why her mother was like this.

Xiangnu… Xiangnu… You’re Xiangnu…
Di Qiushui suddenly mumbled.
That year, your grandmother killed your father and took me away while she abandoned you…

As she said that, Di Qiushui spit out an arrow of blood.

Mother!
Di Xiangnu called out anxiously. She grabbed several elixir pills and put them in Di Qiushui’s mouth.

Are you leaving?
Di Xiangnu turned her head coldly and looked at Hai Longming, who was about to retreat quietly, with a trace of killing intent in her eyes.
Hai Longming said quickly and respectfully,
Senior, I only came to kowtow to Senior Di and thank him for what he did for the Square Immortal Continent.

Di Xiangnu said lightly,
I’ve seen too many people like you all these years. I don’t know how many people I’ve killed over the years, so killing another one is nothing to me.


Senior…
While Hai Longming still wanted to explain, Di Xiangnu sent a fist move out and he felt the continuous Fist Mountains suppress his living space.
A deadly aura came over, making Hai Longming feel a hint of despair. After all, he was an Immortal King who couldn’t even avoid the fist move of the woman in front of him. He simply couldn’t figure out why this woman was so murderous.
Di Xiangnu sighed. After wandering around for so many years, she had seen many people who had offended her but she hadn’t killed anyone yet. Even though most people had offended her, she would not kill them. At most, she would just teach them a lesson. However, Hai Longming had tried to trick her mother into going with him. He’d clearly wanted to kill her. Hence, she couldn’t help her inner killing intent.
