Ninth In the World

Upon hearing about the Murderous Dao Lake, Sha Huangtian rejoiced.

Sha Wushang could already see through Sha Huangtian’s expression. “Huangtian, have you thought of anything?”

Sha Huangtian immediately replied, “Yes, father. If it’s in the Murderous Dao Lake, we can know who stripped away Puyu’s Dao Seed right away. This person is definitely still in the Wormhole.”

“How so?” Sha Wushang suppressed his inner excitement. He also had a heptagonal Dao Seed, but if his grandson’s Dao Seed could be retrieved in perfect condition, the Sha Family could very likely have another Primordial Dao.

Sha Huangtian said without being able to contain his excitement, “Father, the culprit can’t leave the Wormhole without reaching the top 10 of the contribution points, which is very hard to do. Only 10 people leave each year…”

Sha Wushang frowned. “Huangtian, the fact that this person could strip away Yu’er’s Dao Seed shows that he is ruthless. It is not unlikely that he could enter the top 10.”

Sha Wushang was not very concerned about the Wormhole, as he spent most of his time in reclusive cultivation and searching for cultivating resources.

The group of Immortal Emperor nobodies guarding the Wormhole had yet to even form their Dao foundation. What right did they have to catch his attention?

Sha Huangtian explained, “Otherwise, making the top 10 of the contribution point roll would indeed be hard. Even if he manages to make the top 10, he certainly won’t leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. After all, he needs 100,000 high-grade divine crystals to leave.”

Sha Wushang understood. He knew all this, but he did not pay any attention. Now that Sha Huangtian had brought it up, he recalled these rules.

Sha Huangtian was right. Even if he wanted to leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, it seemed impossible.

“Then what do you mean by saying that we can immediately know who stripped away Yu’er’s Dao Seed?” Sha Wushang asked Sha Huangtian as he glanced at him.

Sha Wushang knew his son, Sha Huangtian, very well. Despite his bad aptitude, he could cultivate the Dao Transformation based on the accumulation of cultivating resources. However, he could do things well when given a certain goal. He would not casually talk about what had happened to Yu’er.

“I know something. The only son of Guild Master Ni Xiren of the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce, Ni Luan, went to the Wormhole to put himself to the test not long ago but eventually went missing…”

Sha Wushang interrupted him. “Is the Ni Luan that you mentioned the one who often went to the Wormhole to put himself to the test with Yu’er previously?”

“That is him.” Sha Huangtian then added, “After Ni Luan went missing, Ni Xiren still went over to the Wormhole Defense District once. After the disappearance of his son, a person like Ni Xiren will definitely investigate the Wormhole City District properly. Therefore, he will definitely also know who resided in the Murderous Dao Lake. As long as we ask him, we will discover who stripped away Yu’er’s Dao Seed. Ni Xiren has come to attend Father’s Primordial Dao Ceremony today and is now in the guest hall.”

“Go out at once and ask Ni Xiren. Then head immediately to the Murderous Dao Lake,” Sha Wushang said without hesitation.

…

“Brother Di, I’m afraid we can’t leave now.” After walking out of the shop, Zhuo Wujia was somewhat disappointed. If they could not leave, they would very likely face the situation that Di Jiu had mentioned and would be crushed and killed by experts.

Di Jiu quickened his pace instead and said at the same time, “We have to leave immediately. Otherwise, our survival will be uncertain.”

Di Jiu had made up his mind long ago that if they could not leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City right away, he would immediately turn back and enter the Wormhole without even delaying a minute.

“But we need 200,000 high-grade divine crystals…” Zhuo Wujia said helplessly.

“I’ll think of a way.” While saying that, Di Jiu had already led Zhuo Wujia outside a huge Teleportation Array Hall.

“Stop there. This is an important teleportation venue. Anyone who is unauthorized can’t approach.” When Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia arrived, they were immediately stopped by two people.

Di Jiu cupped his fists. “We want to use the teleportation venue to leave this place.”

“You guys want to teleport away from here?” The cultivator who was guarding the entrance of the Teleportation Hall eyed Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia. No matter how he saw it, the two of them did not look like they had 200,000 high-grade divine crystals.

“Who wants to teleport away from here?” A dignified-looking, middle-aged man walked over.

The guarding cultivator hurriedly bowed. “Deacon Huang, these two people say that they want to teleport away from this place.”

Deacon Huang’s gaze landed on Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia. Before he could speak, Di Jiu took the initiative to take out his card and said, “We have sufficient contribution points…”

“Where are your divine crystals?” Before Di Jiu could finish speaking, Deacon Huang had interrupted him. Who did not have 50,000 contribution points to be able to enter the Leaping Dao Door Divine City? The most important thing there were divine crystals.

Di Jiu once again cupped his fists. “Although we don’t have the divine crystals, I have a Dao meridian…”

Di Jiu opened his palm and the half-used Dao meridian in his ring fell to the ground.

He had obtained this Dao meridian from Xu Baishang. Although he had used part of it, the remaining part was all here.

Di Jiu did not know how much this part of the Dao meridian was worth but he was certain that it was worth more than 200,000 high-grade divine crystals or even far more than that.

“Dao meridian?” Upon seeing Di Jiu throw out the Dao meridian, Deacon Huang’s eyes registered pleasant surprise. Even though a lot of it had been used, it was still in good condition.

“Yes, I happened to dig this up in one of the historical ruins of the Immortal World,” Di Jiu said very modestly.

Deacon Huang opened his hands and put away this Dao meridian. “This Dao meridian is indeed sufficient for both of you to leave via teleportation. If you replace it with the Dao meridian, I will help vouch for you two. If you are unwilling to do so, you can come again after exchanging 200,000 high-grade divine crystals.”

However, Deacon Huang did not hand the Dao meridian over to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu had also guessed that this Dao meridian was not just worth 200,000 high-grade divine crystals, but more than 500,000. He was not brainless enough to want Deacon Huang to return the remaining divine crystals or request to go to other places to exchange this for divine crystals. After all, he was sure that he could not exchange it for so many divine crystals in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

“Thank you, Deacon.” Di Jiu once again cupped his fists, sounding pleasantly surprised.

Deacon Huang nodded his head. “There are three points you can use to teleport out of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. Which one do you choose?”

Di Jiu asked very humbly, “Deacon, can I ask which are the three points?”

Deacon Huang had just received a Dao meridian, which was a pleasant surprise even though it was a low-grade Dao meridian. Thus, he was not impatient with Di Jiu’s inquiry. Instead, he answered seriously, “The nearest one is the Wheat Mix Divine Dao City, followed by the Endless Dike and the Tripe Divine Dao City.”

“Can I ask whether the Endless Dike is a place where we can put ourselves to the test?” Di Jiu hurriedly asked.

Deacon Huang seemed to be somewhat impatient. “That’s right. The Endless Dike is boundless, so it is exactly the best place for cultivators to cultivate.”

“Thank you, Deacon Huang. We will teleport to the Endless Dike.” Di Jiu made a prompt decision.

When they teleported to the Endless Dike, there would be open space in all four directions. Therefore, if anyone chased after them, they could still escape to the Endless Dike. If they teleported to a divine city, they might be confined inside the city without being able to leave.

“Alright, get on the Teleportation Array then.” Deacon Huang stopped talking so much to a person like Di Jiu, who played little tricks. He wanted to hurriedly use the Dao meridian to break through his cultivation level and see whether he could improve any more.

After Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia got on the Teleportation Array, it was activated in just a few seconds and spatial fluctuations spread over.

Di Jiu felt dizzy and light-headed despite his strength, as this was definitely a long-distance teleportation. However, the further they went, the happier he would be.

Bam! Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia landed on the ground at the same time.

“Let’s hurry up and leave the Teleportation Array without affecting anyone else.” Before Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia could say anything, the cultivator guarding the Teleportation Array started berating them loudly.

After they hurriedly rushed out of the Teleportation Array, a huge city appeared before them. There were many more people in this city than in the Wormhole Defense District. When their Spiritual Force scanned it roughly, they realized that there were at least 1,000,000 residents.

“We’re out of the city. Oh, that’s right. Give me your card for safekeeping.” Di Jiu did not hesitate or wander around the city.

Zhuo Wujia did not know what Di Jiu meant but he did not hesitate either before he handed his card to him.
