Huan Mingzi asked Di Jiu to come over the minute he returned to the Galaxy Master Sect.

“Di Jiu, it is more than two years until the next True Dominion Genius Tournament. I heard from the Skygold Protectorate Lord that, during this tournament, there will only be four places to go to the Immortal World—two Number Ones, and one Number Two and Number Three. I have decided to give up my chance to go to the Immortal World to Xian Ze, who attained the fifth-stage True Form Realm recently. He can help me deliver a letter to the Immortal World...” Huan Mingzi sounded a little down.

Di Jiu, who was puzzled, asked, “Have spots four to ten been eliminated?”

Huan Mingzi nodded his head. “Yes. According to the Skygold Protectorate Lord, the passageway into the Immortal World is extremely unstable and can only take in a maximum of four to five people. In order for the passageway to remain functional in the future, the True Dominion has decided to let only four people into the Immortal World this time around.”

“In that case, you can go with Senior Xian Ze. I believe I won’t have a problem clinching the top spot,” said Di Jiu, who wasn’t affected at all.

He could even fight the Protectorate Lord now, so getting the top spot in the Genius Tournament shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Huan Mingzi shook his head. “A late-stage True Form genius has appeared in the True Dominion. In the past, only one or two True Form experts used to take part in the True Dominion Genius Tournament. However, this time, due to the opening of the Small Central Planet, I estimate that four to five people will be attaining the True Form Realm. Those people will be extraordinary.”

Di Jiu still didn’t care. So what if there were five True Forms?

“Senior Huan, can you attain the Domain Realm before the True Dominion Tournament?” asked Di Jiu suddenly.

He was currently at the peak of the fourth-stage True Form Realm, only one step shy of advancing to the fifth-stage. In two more years, he would most likely advance to the sixth stage. Once he did, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of the Interstellar Protectorate Lord. If Huan Mingzi could break through to the Domain Realm, then he would have even stronger support in two years.

Huan Mingzi looked dejected. “I will never have the chance to attain the Domain Realm in my life, as my lifespan is about to be up. My blood and Qi are depleting. It is already good enough that I am able to maintain my cultivation level. Plus, the Prophecy Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. Therefore, I will give my chance to go to the Immortal World to Xian Ze.”

Di Jiu smiled. He handed Huan Mingzi a jade box and said, “I think this will be enough to help you attain the Domain Realm.”

Huan Mingzi opened the jade box doubtfully. Then, he exclaimed, “Is this the Rainbow Immortal Peach?”

In the Cultivation World, only the Rainbow Immortal Peach could excite a cultivator whose life was about to come to an end. It was rumored to be able to extend a cultivator’s life by 10,000 years. Although this might be an exaggeration, the Rainbow Immortal Peach would have no problem allowing a cultivator to live another 1,000 years.

“That’s right, it is the Rainbow Immortal Peach. Now, can you attain the Domain Realm in two years?” Di Jiu asked with a smile.

Huan Mingzi held the jade box in his hands, which were still trembling. “Now that I have the Rainbow Immortal Peach, I will only need one year to attain the Domain Realm.”

He felt extremely grateful for Di Jiu. By giving him a Rainbow Immortal Peach, he had not only given him life, but he had also given him hope to continue his Dao practice.

“In that case, please go ahead and enter seclusion, Senior. I need to do so too.” Huan Mingzi had helped him a great deal. Thus, Di Jiu wouldn’t be stingy with a Rainbow Immortal Peach. He had a Rainbow Immortal Peach Tree. Even though it was young, it still had seven peaches. Thus, after eating one and giving another to Huan Mingzi, he still had five Rainbow Immortal Peaches left.

“Okay.” Huan Mingzi was eager to enter seclusion as well. He guessed that Di Jiu’s Rainbow Immortal Peach had come from the Small Central Planet and he was surprised by Di Jiu’s luck. The Small Central Planet had been searched many times, but there was still a number of hidden natural restrictions on it. Only individuals blessed with ample luck would be able to find a treasure like the Rainbow Immortal Peach.

After Huan Mingzi went into seclusion, Di Jiu handed some things over to Di Di and entered seclusion himself.

The Galaxy Master Sect had recruited some disciples who were mainly taken care of by Xian Ze. Therefore, after he attained the fifth-stage True Form Realm, he stopped cultivating.

It would take him a long time to advance from the fifth-stage to the sixth-stage True Form Realm. Thus, he wanted to help Di Jiu establish the Galaxy Master Sect before Jing Moshuang returned.

Time passed fast while he was cultivating. As Di Jiu was cultivating like mad, the Galaxy Master Sect was developing quickly too. The Galaxy Master Sect had eight supreme-grade spirit meridians, so although the foundation of the sect was a little weak, it was much better to stay in the sect to cultivate rather than cultivate outside.

Di Jiu, as well as many cultivators in the Small Central World, had also entered reclusive cultivation. The geniuses of the large sects only left when the Five Continent Dao Pagoda opened.

The Five Continent Square in the Five Continent City started bustling with life again. It did not pale in comparison to the Small Central Planet Square. Almost every qualified cultivator hoped to get some opportunities in the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

The Small Central Planet had been closed for a few years now, and every cultivator could see very clearly that all the people who had made it alive out of the Small Central Planet had been given very good opportunities.

Fu Che, the Itinerant Cultivator who had gotten to know the Young Master Red Embellishment, had recently attained the first-stage Pioneer Sea Realm. Fu Che didn’t possess any great potential. Otherwise, he would not have remained an Itinerant Cultivator. If even he could attain the Pioneer Sea Realm in such a short time, this meant that the Small Central Planet had many quality items.

The people who hadn’t qualified to enter the Small Central Planet wouldn’t miss this chance to enter the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

However, nobody had expected that when the Five Continent Dao Pagoda opened this time around, Di Feixue would advance through the stages at rocket-like speed. 100th stage, 101st stage, 102nd stage...

Previously, the highest anyone had climbed up the Five Continent Dao Pagoda had been a little over 90 stages. This time, it took Di Feixue just a little over a month to enter the 102nd stage and keep climbing up. At this pace, it was highly possible that Di Feixue would reach the summit.

Since when had climbing the Five Continent Dao Pagoda become so easy?

When Ao Huang heard that Di Feixue had ascended to the 102nd stage, he went to the Five Continent Square immediately. When he reached the square, he saw that Di Feixue had climbed to the 103rd stage.

His face turned ugly. He was almost sure that Di Feixue had picked up the Five Continent Dao Disc that Di Jiu had left behind. However, why hadn’t he detected that Di Feixue had the disc when he had searched Di Feixue with his Spiritual Force earlier?

Shu Haolan and Xiao Wu hadn’t detected it either. He shuddered at the thought of them. Both the Mirage Sword Sect and the Genesis Sect were nine-star sects with a long heritage. However, Di Jiu had actually killed these True Form experts from the two large sects. Di Jiu, who was now the Sect Master of the Galaxy Master Sect, was a really scary person.

In the past, Ao Huang would have led Di Feixue away the moment she came down. However, he didn’t dare to now. He had heard that Di Feixue and Di Jiu were closely related and both were descendants of the Di Family. It wasn’t Di Feixue that he was afraid of, but Di Jiu. That man was very scary. What had happened to Shu Haolan and Xiao Wu were precedents.

Ao Huang decided to contact Yan Xueyi and Shen Feng after some careful consideration.

...

By the time Ao Huang went off to look for Yan Xueyi and Shen Feng, the Five Continent Square had gone berserk. Di Feixue had already ascended to the 106th stage and was just two stages shy of the 108th stage.

“She’s already at the 107th stage!” shouted a member of the crowd as everyone on the Five Continent Square turned to stare at Di Feixue’s name on the Five Continent Dao Pillar.

Maybe the Small Central World would produce a true genius—Di Feixue.

Di Feixue was equally excited. The Five Continent Dao Law in her hands had allowed her to reach the 107th stage with ease. She didn’t even have to spend any effort to understand the law at every stage, like Di Jiu did.

Di Feixue had only spent a day at the 107th stage before she moved up to the 108th stage.

“She has reached the summit!”

“She’s at the 108th stage!”

...

The entire Five Continent Square exclaimed when Di Feixue ascended to the 108th stage of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda. This was the first time in the history of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda that a cultivator had managed to reach the summit. A Life Tribulation Realm expert had reached the summit!

The most suitable cultivation base for climbing the Five Continent Dao Pagoda was the Essence Soul Realm and the Pioneer Sea Realm, yet Di Feixue was at the Life Tribulation Realm.

The news that Di Feixue had reached the 108th stage of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda spread quickly across the entire Small Central World. By now, everybody knew that there was a genius named Di Feixue.

When Di Feixue went up to the 108th stage, she became excited. The Spirit Qi there had a clear Law of Heaven and Earth. She was confident that she only needed to spend some time cultivating there to master the Life Tribulation Realm. Then, she would be able to transcend the True Thunder Tribulation once she got out.

However, her excitement died down very quickly. Based on what she knew about the Five Continent Dao Law, there should have been a Five Continent Seal on the 108th stage of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

Her Spiritual Force had by now permeated every corner of the 108th stage, but she couldn’t even see a stalk of stray grass, much less a Five Continent Seal.

The Five Continent Dao Law was an object of Heaven and Earth, so Di Feixue trusted that it would not deceive her. There was only one possible reason why she couldn’t find the Five Continent Seal there—someone had reached the summit before her and taken it away.

Who could have reached the summit first without the Five Continent Dao Law?
