“He escaped,” Nie Changping said unwillingly when the spatial fluctuation caused by the Plane Split Talisman disappeared.

He was truly unresigned to that. Even though Di Jiu had killed his son, Nie Baichi, Di Jiu had actually dared to vanish right under his nose with the Reincarnation Bridge.

Nie Changping glanced at Nuo La with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Nuo La was the one who had brought people over to set up the Confinement Array of Heaven’s Beyond. Given Nuo La’s strength, even if Di Jiu took out the Plane Split Talisman, Nuo La would have sufficient time to seal the major array and keep Di Jiu there.

Nuo La was even more unresigned than Nie Changping and seemed to have clenched her hands until they bled. She had actually allowed a nobody with a Reincarnation Bridge to slip away right before her eyes. In her eyes, those who had yet to reach Primordial Chaos were all nobodies.

The difference between the Primordial Chaos and Dao Integration was vast.

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said slowly, “This person’s Array Dao is definitely powerful. When I activated the Confinement Array of Heaven’s Beyond, there was no reaction at all. Otherwise, I would have surely kept him here.”

Nie Changping knew what Nuo La meant. Before they had come, Di Jiu had done something at Heaven’s Beyond that had at least changed the Defense Array there. Just because of this, Nuo La had not managed to keep Di Jiu behind.

“Huai’er, what’s wrong?” Nuo La then realized that the expression of Lou Huai’er seemed a little strange.

Lou Huai’er was a little pale and her gaze was disorderly.

However, they had not lost out when she and Lou Huai’er had been dealing with that early-stage Dao Integration woman just now, had they?

“Sister Nuo La, it’s nothing. I think there is a small problem with my cultivation technique,” Lou Huai’er hurriedly said.

Knowing that Lou Huai’er was not honest, Nuo La took the initiative to walk over to Lou Huai’er and say, “Younger Sister Huai’er, you’re the first person who’s helped me ever since I came to Heaven’s Beyond. You were also a great help when I flattened the remnant resistance powers. In my heart, we are no different from sisters. What are you hiding from me?”

Lou Huai’er lowered her head. A few seconds later, she lifted her head and said, “I know one of the women. She’s called Ling Xiaoshuang, she used to come to Heaven’s Beyond, and she knows the person with the surname Ye. She seemed very close to him.”

Lou Huai’er was unaware that this was Tang Beiwei’s first time in Heaven’s Beyond. However, Lou Huai’er had met Ling Xiaoshuang more than once in Heaven’s Beyond.

Nuo La frowned. “The person with the surname Ye? Sect Master Ye, who wiped out your family?”

Lou Huai’er did not say anything but silently acquiesced in that. She had a kind of premonition that Di Jiu, who had escaped, the person with the surname Ye, and the person with the surname Ning were the same type of people. If people like them did not die, they would be killed when they returned to Heaven’s Beyond.

Nuo La patted Lou Huai’er’s shoulders. “Younger Sister Huai’er, don’t worry. Those who went to the Creation War back then did not return. Although Ling Xiaoshuang is not bad, that’s all she is to me. Even though she’s at early-stage Dao Integration, it will take her a few years to recuperate from her serious injuries. By then, I might be half-way into the third step. Why be afraid?”

Lou Huai’er did not say anything and decided to use this chance to leave Heaven’s Beyond. She had a premonition that if she continued to stay here, she would have no burial ground when Di Jiu returned later. Although Di Jiu had been seriously injured and even lost a leg, she was sure that he would definitely return.

...

When Di Jiu opened his eyes, he was relieved. He had not died. He had only lost one leg.

However, that was fine as long as he was alive. He could still recover his lost leg. Although he could not rely on ordinary treasures to recover it, losing his physical body would be tantamount to losing his Dao.

Nevertheless, Di Jiu believed in his Nomological Dao. Everything originated from the Heaven Earth Law, and the Dao loss was also a kind of law. As long as he improved his Dao technique, he would eventually have a solution. If that did not work, he would spend another million years cultivating.

No, something was not right. He then realized that Ling Xiaoshuang was missing.

He hurriedly extended his Spiritual Force and pain rushed forth in his Spiritual Sea. He could not extend his Spiritual Force at the moment.

Di Jiu’s heart sank. He had embraced Ling Xiaoshuang and rushed into the realm that the Plane Split Talisman had ripped apart. Now that Ling Xiaoshuang was missing, he was sure that she was separated in the void.

Since he had a Sacred Body, he remained unscathed in the void. On the other hand, even though Ling Xiaoshuang had a higher cultivation level than him, her injuries would not be any lighter than his. Plus, the strength of her physical body was not as high as his. Ling Xiaoshuang was really in danger in the void.

No matter what, he had to restore his cultivation level as soon as possible. Only when he did that would he be able to go back to find Ling Xiaoshuang.

He performed the Nomological Qi Circulation once and immediately sensed how thin the Heaven Earth Essence Energy there was. Besides that, its level was extremely low.

This kind of Heaven Earth Essence Energy seemed non-existent. Besides Earth, which had such a low level, Di Jiu simply could not think of any other places.

He struggled to sit up and glanced at the rows of huge green trees. Upon seeing those huge trees, he immediately understood that this place was not Earth.

This was a very old red sandalwood tree. If such trees grew on the peak of Mount Everest, people would have dug them away. Even though this place was not Earth, it was definitely a mortal planet.

The Essence Energy there was thin and had a low level. After sitting for two hours, Di Jiu stood up. Unlike other cultivators who could not seem to cultivate after suffering injuries to this extent, Di Jiu could cultivate as long as he was conscious and was in place with the Heaven Earth Law.

Regardless of the recuperation speed of his injuries, it would be fine as long as he recuperated. When he was able to enter the Ninth World and sit under the Creation Wood, he would fully recuperate in just a few seconds.

In order to stabilize his body, Di Jiu found a dead tree stick. Unfortunately, his Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in the void.

However, Di Jiu was not worried about his Heavenly Aqua Saber being lost. So long as he restored his strength, he could still sense his Heavenly Aqua Saber even if they were a few realms apart.

An anxious voice came from behind Di Jiu before he turned around to see a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was carrying onto a wide saber and had a bow and arrows on his back. Based on the way he dressed and the animal hide at his waist, Di Jiu could guess that he was a hunter.

He could not understand what this hunter had said.

Di Jiu performed a few hand seals to show that he had been bitten by wild beasts.

Since this was not the Cultivation World, it was normal that he could not understand the language. After all, there was no language jade slip.

Generally speaking, the Cultivation World had language jade slips and realms of higher levels also had language arrays. As long as anyone entered the scope of Earth, they could learn the universal language of a planet from this array.

This hunter was very warm-hearted. Upon discovering that Di Jiu clearly did not need him to bind up his broken leg, he took out water and dried food before trying to take Di Jiu away from this place.

Since Di Jiu’s cultivation level had yet to be restored, food was already not essential to him. He refused the food but let the hunter lead the way.

After four hours, when the sky darkened, Di Jiu arrived with the hunter at a mountain village with more than 20 residents.

Perhaps, this mountain village had never had outsiders like Di Jiu come in. When the middle-aged hunter brought Di Jiu in, almost everyone living in the village came out.

Among the buzzing discussions and questions, Di Jiu also roughly understood the level of this mountain village. It should be a remote village that was adequately provided for. Although most people wore plain cotton clothes, many people wore animal hides.

The middle-aged hunter who had brought Di Jiu back was very enthusiastic about inviting Di Jiu to his home. Di Jiu naturally refused without hesitation. This hunter’s house was not big, and he had a wife and two children. Plus, he also hoped to live alone, which would be more helpful in restoring his strength.
