Ling Xiaoshuang went forward and gently embraced Tang Beiwei.
Yes, I didn’t expect to meet you here either. The universe is very big yet very small.


Senior Sister Xiaoshuang, your qualifications are much better than mine, and I’m getting worse than you.
When Tang Beiwei saw Ling Xiaoshuang walking with Di Jiu and could not see Ling Xiaoshuang’s strength, she immediately knew that her cultivation level was much weaker than hers.
Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly.
Beiwei, my qualifications are no better than yours, in fact. However, my master told me that if I want to get out of this world, I can’t just rely on seclusion. Many things can’t be solved by seclusion, let alone cultivation levels. Especially when your cultivation level is getting higher and higher, you have to go out. Although I might perish outside, cultivation is actually a kind of improvement. Many things can’t be understood without going through life and death.

Ling Xiaoshuang said those things with deep emotion. In fact, she knew very well that Tang Beiwei had gone to the Immortal World earlier than her. Later on, her cultivation speed got faster and faster and even surpassed Tang Beiwei’s speed, not because her qualifications were better than Tang Beiwei’s but because she had gone into the void alone.
In the void of the universe, she had obtained too many opportunities and escaped from the verge of death countless times. Only after realizing these things did she reach the Primordial Chaos. In the Chaos Realm, she later obtained another chance and advanced to Dao Integration.
Of course, just like she had mentioned, if Di Jiu had not helped them, she would have perished without a doubt.
Tang Beiwei was also a bit agonized. When she had been in the Cultivation World, she had always tried to enter seclusion in order to raise her cultivation level. In the end, she had really caught up and become one of the first few people to ascend to the Immortal World. After arriving in the Immortal World, her cultivation had skyrocketed with the help of her elder brother.
However, after she’d reached the Sacred Dao World and her elder brother had gone to the void, her cultivation level had slowed down. In the end, she had entered seclusion again after hearing that her elder brother was going to join the life-and-death war. When she had reached the Primordial Chaos Realm and come out of seclusion, she had not known his whereabouts.
The year-round seclusion made Tang Beiwei understand Ling Xiaoshuang’s words now. The higher her cultivation level was, the less effective the seclusion was.

Do you guys know each other?
Di Jiu looked at Tang Beiwei and Ling Xiaoshuang, feeling puzzled. He then recalled that they both came from the Sacred Dao World, so it was normal that they knew each other.

We got to know each other in the Cultivation World. Some busybodies placed us on a list at the time,
Tang Beiwei explained.
Upon seeing them and Di Jiu reminiscing about their times, Nie Baichi subconsciously wanted to retreat slowly. As long as he retreated to a certain range, he could escape from Heaven’s Beyond with his escape talisman.
When he had just taken a few steps back, a Divine Essence handprint grabbed him.

Daoist Di, we actually did not…

Nie Baichi abruptly paused and a dead-gray aura revealed itself in his eyes. His Dao foundation had been destroyed by Di Jiu’s Divine Essence handprint. In addition, his Spiritual Sea also began to collapse.
Blood dripped down his seven apertures, but Nie Baichi did not howl in grief. He was done for, totally done for.

Why, why…
Nie Baichi could only mutter now.
Di Jiu said with a sneer,
Your family captured my friends and you’re still asking why?

After he finished saying that, Di Jiu lifted his hand and threw Nie Baichi above the ruins of the God Manor. Then, he whizzed out a few long sabers that pinned Nie Baichi in the void.
Tang Beiwei, Ling Xiaoshuang, Tang Xitan, and the cultivators watching from afar were stunned. Was he a third-step expert? If he was not, how could he find traces in the void of Heaven’s Beyond and pin him in the void?
Naturally, Di Jiu was not a third-step expert. He had not pinned Nie Baichi in the void because he had touched the void in this realm but because he had set up nomological array flags there.

Thank you, thank you…
Tang Beiwei had grabbed Yi Shu’s hands with both of her hands. Without Yi Shu, she would have died without a doubt rather than being saved by Di Jiu.
Even Tang Beiwei herself had not expected that her desperate actions before would manage to save her and Tang Xitan.
Di Jiu came over and nodded as he said,
Yes. If it wasn’t for Junior Sister Yi Shu, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t know you guys were trapped here.


Is your name Yi Shu?
Tang Beiwei took out a ring and handed it to Yi Shu.
This is for you. Although it is not good stuff, it should be enough for you to reach Dao Birth.

This was something she had promised Yi Shu before. Thus, she gave it to Yi Shu now.

Elder Sister Beiwei, you still have your ring?
Yi Shu was excited and surprised at the same time. How could she still have her ring when she had been pinned in the prison of God Manor?
Di Jiu knew that Tang Beiwei was not in a position to answer so he interrupted Yi Shu.
Junior Sister Yi, there are very few cultivators like you who are not afraid of life-and-death situations. You are not bad. If there is anything you need my help with in the future, I will definitely help you.

Tang Beiwei obviously had a top-notch treasure that could hide in her Spiritual Sea. Therefore, she had managed to save her things as well as Tang Xitan’s things. Otherwise, they would definitely have been searched and taken away.
Naturally, Di Jiu would not let Tang Beiwei say what she could hide in her Spiritual Sea.
Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Yi Shu suddenly knelt to the ground.
Big Brother Di, I really need your help with something.


Say it.
Di Jiu nodded and left a good impression on her.
Yi Shu explained in a trembling voice,
I didn’t dare mention that Sister Beiwei asked me for help at first. Later, I saw Big Brother Di easily crush the Heavenly Lord. I think Brother Di may be able to help me…

Di Jiu did not care about her words. Even an ordinary cultivator would not dare say that. Who would dare offend the Dao Integration Heavenly Lord of Heaven’s Beyond and a bunch of half-step Dao Integration and Primordial Chaos cultivators?

Yes,
Yi Shu hurriedly responded.
I’m actually from the Heavenly Union Planet…


The Heavenly Union Planet? Is that the one Nie Baichi mentioned? The place where the Nie Family and the experts of Heaven’s Beyond went to?
Di Jiu immediately asked, interrupting Yi Shu.
Yi Shu nodded strongly.
Yes, Big Brother Di. My father’s name is Yi Sa, and he is the Planet Master of the Heavenly Union Planet. My mother’s name is Shu You. They became friends with Dao Lord Ning and even joined the Creation War with him…


The Creation War? Is that the war you mentioned before?
Di Jiu looked at Ling Xiaoshuang and Tang Beiwei.
Tang Beiwei was not very sure. Ever since she had come out of seclusion, she’d only known that her elder brother had never returned after a war.
Ling Xiaoshuang nodded her head.
Yes, that war is also called the Creation War. Rumor has it that all Dao Integration cultivators had to join it. Even if they didn’t, they were swept into the war. As a result, there were no third-step cultivators after the Creation War. Even if there were, they were all Dao Integration cultivators.


Carry on.
Di Jiu grew solemn. He was familiar with the name Dao Lord Ning, as he had heard it many times. Since Yi Shu’s parents had become friends with Dao Lord Ning, they did not seem like they could be trifled with.
Yi Shu rubbed her eyes and added,
Senior Dao Lord Ning was very prestigious in Heaven’s Beyond. Before the Creation War, many territories of Heaven’s Beyond had belonged to him. After my parents went to the war with him, he also brought us to Heaven’s Beyond and let us live in the best place. However, after the war, I never saw my parents again. Heaven’s Beyond is no longer the same. I have almost no chance of survival here, so I want to go back to the Heavenly Union Planet…

Yi Shu wanted to find her parents, but she was suppressed in the corner of Heaven’s Beyond. Improving her cultivation level was simply a dream for her.
Di Jiu understood what Yi Shu was thinking and asked,
Do you know why the experts of Heaven’s Beyond went to the Heavenly Union Planet?

Yi Shu answered,
For the sake of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.
