Chapter 1266: Chapter 326: The Beginning or End of a Doomed Fate

After Xi Jiuye bid farewell to the Feng Gu Divine Emperor, he led the Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders straight to the Ancient Nine Provinces.

The Ancient Nine Provinces, a unique domain bordering the Divine Realm and the Human Realm, was something Xi Jiuye had heard of in his early years; he had heard that in the Ancient Nine Provinces, humans, gods, and demons roamed freely.

Above the ethereal sky, the massive Divine Realm barrier obstructed everyone’s path.

Upon reaching the Divine Realm barrier, Xi Jiuye and the Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders had just stepped into its vicinity.

The barrier emitted a buzzing sound, and a grand door engraved with Divine Runes stood before them.

The Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders amassed their Primordial Power and surged towards the Divine Realm door.

But as soon as they approached, a brilliant golden light emitted from the door.

Everyone felt as if an invisible wall had appeared in front of them, and their Divine Power shattered, their bodies falling heavily, like kites with broken strings, to the ground in a sorry state.

"Divine Master, the Divine Realm barrier is quite troublesome; we, the thirteen of us, are useless."

The captain of the Thirteen Riders looked regretful.

In the Divine Realm, they were considered elite, but before this barrier, they were as futile as ants trying to shake a tree, utterly powerless.

"No matter, let me try."

Xi Jiuye’s eyes flickered coldly, his pupils deep like the North Pole Star, his body suddenly tensed, like an arrow on the string, ready to be released.

Suddenly, a massive surge of Star Power burst from within Xi Jiuye’s chest.

Xi Jiuye himself shone like a rising star, his figure swept upwards.

Boom, boom—

Under the watchful eyes of the Thirteen Riders, Xi Jiuye’s fists struck out like a dragon emerging from the sea, as if the entire sky was being torn apart.

"Star Meteor Storm."

The eyes of the Thirteen Riders suddenly became feverish.

They all knew the Divine Master was about to use his Divine Power Realm martial arts, Star Meteor Storm.

In the sky, countless meteors suddenly appeared, streaking across the sky, charging towards the Divine Realm gate with astonishing force.

The fierce Meteor Power collided with the Divine Realm barrier.

A breach appeared on the previously indestructible Divine Realm door.

The moment the breach appeared, Xi Jiuye’s eyes flashed, his figure accelerated, and along with the meteors, he passed through the Divine Realm gate, followed closely by the Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders.

After everyone had passed through the Divine Realm gate one by one, the Star Meteor Storm gradually dissipated.

The breach on the Divine Realm door gradually closed, and everything returned to calm.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, Xi Jiuye and the Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders were already standing in the air above the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Beneath the vast Cloud Sea, nine ancient lands were pieced together, the residence of the supreme strong of the Human Clan, the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent.

"Divine Master, below is the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent, but where exactly is the Divine Master planning to go on this trip?"

The Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders asked respectfully.

Xi Jiuye’s gaze narrowed slightly, fixedly staring at the vast, boundless land.

The Ancient Nine Provinces seemed vast, comparable in size to several Divine Domains of the Divine Realm.

The Feng Gu Divine Emperor only knew that the Treasure Tripod of the Hong Meng Fang Immortal was lost in the Ancient Nine Provinces, but did not specify where.

Now that he’s in the Ancient Nine Provinces, he can’t use Divine Power indiscriminately, so it seems he’ll have to proceed cautiously and adapt as needed.

"Let’s descend first, gather some information before drawing any conclusions. Remember, this mission is highly confidential, no one is to use Divine Power without my command. Once we reach the Ancient Nine Provinces, everyone address me as ’young master’. "

With that, Xi Jiuye transformed, concealing his Divine Power, becoming a charismatic, stern young man. The Northern Frontier Thirteen Riders also altered their appearances, casually choosing a city and blending into the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue and others were unaware that Xi Jiuye had already arrived in the Ancient Nine Provinces, his target being the Qian Cauldron that Ye Lingyue possessed.

From City Lord Yang, they learned that to defeat Situ Nan, they must find the Puppet Book.

In search of the previous volume of the Puppet Book, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen decided to tackle the famous Vajra Formation of the Gold City.

About the Vajra Formation, Ye Lingyue and Di Shen knew little, only that it was an Array used by successive City Lords of the Gold City to protect the city.

Earlier, Qin Xiaochuan had ventured into the Vajra Formation, but unfortunately, he survived due to his unique constitution.

The two had just reached the training ground and had not yet entered the Vajra Formation.

They suddenly heard an "ouch", and an unidentified flying object, like a ragged bag, was tossed out, landing at Ye Lingyue and Di Shen’s feet.

Ye Lingyue looked closely and saw that it was Huang Jun.

Huang Jun was bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable.

In recent days, while Ye Lingyue and Di Shen were busy saving City Lord Yang, Huang Jun was being pushed by Senior Sister Wan Yun to pass the Vajra Formation’s test.

"What bad luck, almost made it past the tenth Vajra."

Huang Jun was badly beaten but not discouraged.

Considering Huang Jun’s hot-headedness, Ye Lingyue did not tell him that Little Evil Rabbit had already rescued Qin Xiaochuan.

She only hinted to Huang Jun that Qin Xiaochuan was captured because he passed the Vajra Formation, and if Huang Jun could pass it, he might have a chance to infiltrate the heavily guarded City Lord’s Mansion.

Huang Jun, to rescue Qin Xiaochuan as soon as possible, spared no effort.

He tirelessly attempted the Vajra Formation day and night, unlike before.

"Huang Jun, hold on, we also plan to challenge the Vajra Formation. Among us, only you’ve been through, tell us what it’s like inside the Vajra Formation?"

Ye Lingyue stopped Huang Jun, seeing his reckless demeanor.

After all, if Qin Xiaochuan was rescued only for Huang Jun to be crippled, it wouldn’t do.

She used Cauldron Breath to heal Huang Jun, and he soon recovered, lively once more.

"Ling Yue, you guys are going to challenge the Vajra Formation too? Di Shen, I could understand, but for a young lady like you, perhaps it’s better not."

Huang Jun glanced at Ye Lingyue’s lovely face, thought to himself, such a face would suffer a lot at the hands of the cold-blooded Vajras in the formation.

"Where are your eyes wandering? As long as I’m here, what could happen to my wife?"

Di Shen glared at Huang Jun in dissatisfaction. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Huang Jun shivered, knowing Di Shen was fiercely protective and not to be trifled with.

"Di Shen, normally you can protect Ling Yue well, but the Vajra Formation is different. It requires individual combat. Inside are eighteen Vajras, each quite formidable. To pass the Vajra Formation, there are two ways. The first way is to defeat all eighteen Vajras, only then is it clear. The second way is to endure without being defeated by a Vajra within six hours, which also counts as clearing the Vajra Formation."
