Ninth In The World Chapter 517 - I Am the Founder of the Galaxy Master Sect

Chapter 517: I Am the Founder of the Galaxy Master Sect

He found it strange that a man who cultivated the Galaxy Art was locked up in a fire array prison. The surrounding fire often scorched the man’s body, leaving him trembling. G.o.d knew how long this man had been suffering from the blaze, as even his appearance was beyond recognition. There were only some torn pieces of skin hanging on his bones, which had already been charred by the fire.

Di Jiu frowned. This man was definitely not an ordinary disciple, as he had reached the ninth-stage Life Tribulation Realm. Since he wasn’t an ordinary disciple, why was he being tortured?

He had founded the Galaxy Master Sect, so he knew that no cruel torture like that existed.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force changed direction and landed on a man wearing a scarlet robe. This man was already at the fourth-stage True Form Realm and was cultivating at the center of the Galaxy Master Sect, the Galaxy Peak.

The Galaxy Peak was where the Sect Master of the Galaxy Master Sect resided. Since this man was on the Galaxy Peak, he had to be the Sect Master. When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the scarlet-robed man’s face, he realized that he looked a little familiar.

“Where did your Sect Master come from?” Di Jiu retracted his Spiritual Force and looked at the disciple on guard duty once again.

The disciple was furious. He was wondering if he was too patient today, as he had managed to hold his temper for a long time. This man seemed to have taken his patience for granted. Not only had he ignored his questions, but he had also just questioned him about his Sect Master’s past nonchalantly.

“Screw off!” The disciple waved the array flag in his hand once again and kicked at him.

Di Jiu raised his hand and slapped the disciple through the void, sending him flying. If this wasn’t the Galaxy Master Sect, he would have killed him already.

There were usually two disciples guarding the Defense Array. One of them would be on the outside, while the other would be inside the array.

Now that Di Jiu had slapped the disciple outside the Defense Array and sent him flying, the one on the inside immediately triggered the alarm.

The scarlet-robed man cultivating in seclusion on the Galaxy Peak suddenly opened his eyes and rushed out of his cave abode instantly.

Xiang Tianyi looked at Di Jiu with a puzzled expression, wondering why this was happening if Di Jiu was the founder of this sect. He naturally didn’t know that Di Jiu had ascended into the Immortal World long ago and this was his first time coming back after so many years.

Di Jiu was actually a little puzzled too. Although there weren’t any disciples in this sect that could recognize him, according to the norms of a sect, his portrait should have been hung in the ancestral hall of the sect after he had left. All the new disciples would have to pay their respects to the Ancestral Master after joining the sect.

However, the actual situation was completely different. Now that he, the Ancestral Master, was back, the disciple standing guard had actually kicked at him.

“Hold it right there. Who are you? How dare you trespa.s.s on the Galaxy Master Sect’s territory?” When the scarlet-robed man rushed to the square of the sect, he ran into Di Jiu, Xiangnu, and Xiang Tianyi.

He didn’t attack them because he actually couldn’t identify Di Jiu’s cultivation level.

However, he wasn’t worried about the two people beside Di Jiu. One of them was a little girl at the Golden Core Realm, and the other, albeit stronger, was only at the Void Spirit Realm and had even lost an arm. He thought that since Di Jiu was with them, he couldn’t be much stronger.

However, his mother had told him ever since he was young that he shouldn’t underestimate anyone. Since this man had dared to openly attack the Galaxy Master Sect’s disciple and even gotten past the outer Defense Array, he was definitely stronger than he appeared to be. Therefore, he only activated the Confinement Killing Array quietly while waiting for the elders to arrive before attacking Di Jiu.

“Are you Di Xizeng, the current Sect Master of the Galaxy Master Sect?” Di Jiu’s tone was cold. The Sect Master was definitely responsible for how the disciple on guard had acted.

After he said that, a dozen figures arrived at the square and surrounded the three of them in no time.

“How are you related to Di Feixue?” Di Jiu finally realized that Di Xizeng seemed familiar because he looked a little like Di Feixue.

Di Xizeng was inwardly shocked that this man knew his mother. It seemed like he was right. This man was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, in his opinion, an ordinary person wouldn’t possibly know her.

“Sect Master…” An extremely excited voice was heard before an old woman rushed out and kneeled before Di Jiu.

Di Jiu definitely wouldn’t have recognized this old woman in a crowd. Not only was she old, but her face was also so full of wrinkles that he couldn’t tell what she really looked like.

Now that she was right in front of Di Jiu, he finally recognized her and asked in a surprised tone, “Are you Shanshan? Wei Shanshan?”

The old woman’s face was covered in tears as she replied, “Yes, I am Wei Shanshan.”

“How did you end up like this?” Di Jiu stared at Wei Shanshan in disbelief. She hadn’t been old, and her cultivation had already been at a decent level back then. Furthermore, she had been considered good-looking. How had she gotten so much older and ended up looking so scary?

Di Jiu then discovered a spiritual restriction in Wei Shanshan’s body. It was a terrifying restriction, as Wei Shanshan would be reduced to ashes instantly if the person who’d set the restriction wanted that.

The spiritual restriction moved as soon as Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on it. It was apparent that the person who had set the restriction wanted to kill her.

Di Jiu sneered inwardly and grabbed the spiritual restriction out of Wei Shanshan’s body directly. It couldn’t even resist.

Then, Wei Shanshan replied anxiously, “The Di Family wants to take over the Galaxy Master Sect…”

She was dumbfounded after she said that, as she should have been killed by the restriction as soon as she’d opened her mouth. Di Xizeng would never give her the opportunity to spill out so much information. However, instead of getting killed after she said that, she felt her body turning lighter. The restriction controlling her life and death had suddenly disappeared.

‘What’s going on?’

“You…” Di Xizeng stared at Wei Shanshan, as he was shocked too. He was the one who had set the spiritual restriction in Wei Shanshan’s body so that he could kill her with a single thought. However, although he activated the restriction repeatedly, nothing happened. Eventually, he couldn’t even sense the restriction at all. This was too bizarre.

Di Jiu clenched his fist and crushed the spiritual restriction in his hand.

Di Xizeng got injured and spewed out a stream of blood. He stared at Di Jiu with a horrified expression and said, “Who are you? Are you going to slaughter the innocent people of the Galaxy Master Sect just because you are more powerful? At the very least, the Galaxy Master Sect is a top-notch sect in the Small Central World. Aren’t you afraid of the entire Small Central World’s fury?”

Di Xizeng had already activated the sect’s Confinement Killing Array when he said that. However, to his horror, the most powerful Confinement Killing Array in the entire Small Central World didn’t even react after he took out the array flag.

“Ha ha…” Di Jiu laughed and said, “I am Di Jiu, the founder of the Galaxy Master Sect. Who do you think I am?”

Di Xizeng trembled and quickly put on a surprised expression before saying, “So it’s you, Uncle. Greetings… I am Xizeng.”

Di Jiu slapped Di Xizeng and sent him flying. He spewed a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

Di Jiu didn’t even bother looking at him. Di Feixue wasn’t a decent person, so he figured that her son was probably the same. He turned around and asked, “Shanshan, what’s going on? Where did Di Di and Uncle Tian go?”

The elders of the Galaxy Master Sect realized at that moment that he was Di Jiu, the founder of the sect.

Although the portrait of the founder in the ancestral hall had been removed, not many years had pa.s.sed ever since. Everyone knew deep down that the founder of the Galaxy Master Sect was Di Jiu and not the Small Central World’s Di Family.

Wei Shanshan bowed before Di Jiu once again before replying, “Sister Di went to the True Dominion after her cultivation reached the intended level and she pa.s.sed down the position of the Sect Master to Sect Master Geng. Sect Master Geng also went to the True Dominion after attaining the peak of the True Form Realm and he pa.s.sed the position to Grand Elder Tian. Then, Grand Elder Tian and Grand Elder Huan Mingzi went to the True Dominion together after handing the sect over to Sect Master Ji Yuanang.”

“Ji Yuanang?” Di Jiu had never heard of him before.

Wei Shanshan nodded and replied, “Yes, Sect Master Ji was Sect Master Geng’s personal disciple, which was why Grand Elder Tian and Grand Elder Huan Mingzi appointed him as the Sect Master. However, the Di Family came afterward and claimed that Ji Yuanang’s ident.i.ty was unclear. Since they had founded the Galaxy Master Sect, they couldn’t allow someone like him to take over as the Sect Master. They even invited the Sect Masters of several powerful sects as witnesses when they came.”

“Several elders of the sect didn’t agree with them, so one of the Di Family’s elders who was at the True Form Realm got mad and killed them on the spot. They also locked Sect Master Ji up in the fire array prison because he objected.”

Di Jiu opened his hand and grabbed the man who was trapped in the fire array prison before saying, “Shanshan, is he Ji Yuanang?”
