Ninth In the World

When Di Jiu and the other two rushed out, they saw cultivators constantly fleeing out of the Honeycomb before they landed outside the Honeycomb Peak in distress.

The cultivator in red also rushed out not far away from Di Jiu.

“Brother Wei, the Honeycomb Cave that the three of them came out of does not seem to be the one we have visited,” a cultivator beside Wei Hongyi whispered to him.

Even though Wei Hongyi nodded his head, he did not say a word. He had also discovered that. When Di Jiu and the other two had entered the Honeycomb Cave, he had scanned the three of them with his Spiritual Force. Thus, he knew very well which Honeycomb Cave they had entered.

The Honeycomb Cave that the three of them had come out of was indeed not the one they had entered. The only possibility was they had come out of the original cave and chosen another one.

One could spend at least half a month and only find one-third of the herbs in this Honeycomb Cave. This was because the Stacked Partition Herbs were very scattered and many of them were one with the surrounding rocks. Hence, it was very hard to discover them.

As the cultivators constantly rushed out of the Honeycomb Cave, the somewhat furious cave seemed to have calmed down.

Besides the two people by Di Jiu’s side and the dozens of people by Wei Hongyi’s side, dozens of cultivators Di Jiu did not recognize had come out. It was obvious that these people had either entered before or after them.

“What’s going on?” someone in the crowd asked.

Golden water droplets shot out of the Honeycomb Cave all of a sudden. These drops emitted a faint fragrance in the air that made everyone feel relaxed.

They all knew this was good stuff.

“Hurry up and snatch them.” Di Jiu reacted quickly and used his Spiritual Force escape technique. He had already gathered hundreds of drops in an extremely short time and put them in his jade bottle.

Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie, who were quick as well, managed to snatch 18 drops and 11 drops respectively.

Most of the cultivators present managed to snatch a few drops apart from a small minority of them who did not manage to do so.

“This is First Evolution True Dew…” One of the cultivators understood and immediately shouted.

Di Jiu also reacted. Was this First Evolution True Dew? Every drop of it was a valuable treasure. Not only was it a top-notch healing elixir, but it could also remove elixir poisons, understand divine power, and restore Essence Energy.

If they had obtained some First Evolution True Dew, wouldn’t this mean that the Honeycomb Peak before their eyes was a Chaos nest? After all, only a Chaos nest could shoot out First Evolution True Dew. Once Di Jiu thought of the Chaos nest, he started regretting it.

He had unexpectedly abandoned the most top-notch treasure and went to search for Stacked Partition Herbs. This was simply…

“Then this is a Chaos nest…” Di Jiu was not the only clever person around, as numerous cultivators had immediately recognized the Chaos nest.

A few cultivators frantically rushed toward the Chaos nest. After all, they would be idiots among other idiots if they let go of this opportunity.

Di Jiu did not move, as the Book of the World explained this clearly. Once the Chaos nest shot out the First Evolution True Dew, it would signify that the Chaos nest would once again disappear.

As expected, the Chaos nest faded and vanished before even a few cultivators could get close to it.

“I believe that everyone knows who I am. I’m Ji Mi from the Lackluster Ocean Divine City Flame Essence Chamber of Commerce. It’s a pity that the Chaos nest brushed past us just now. However, that’s fine. We still have an opportunity. I’ve decided to acquire everyone’s First Evolution True Dew. You can all name your price. I’m an alchemist and I have all kinds of elixir pills.” A very skinny, long-haired man walked forward and addressed the people around him with cupped fists and a laugh.

Based on his tone, it seemed like the other people had gained a great advantage.

“I’ve only obtained one drop, so I better keep it for myself.” After a cultivator in gray spoke, he extended his body and immediately rushed out of this beach island that had lost its Chaos nest.

“I don’t have much either.” Another cultivator also rushed out.

As more and more cultivators rushed out, Ji Mi’s expression turned ugly. However, he did not stop them, as the lowest cultivation level of the cultivators who had left was only the early-stage peak Dao Modeling. He knew their roots, so he had no way of stopping them.

“Let’s go too.” Di Jiu knew Ji Mi definitely did not have a high status. Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have left without even showing him any respect.

Wei Hongyi had not left yet, and his Spiritual Force had been watching Di Jiu. Therefore, he knew that Di Jiu was the first person who had rushed forth to take the First Evolution True Dew. He estimated that Di Jiu had at least 30 to 40 drops of First Evolution True Dew, while he only had 19 drops. How invaluable were 30 to 40 drops of First Evolution True Dew?

“Friends, hold on.” Di Jiu had not expected that even though Ji Mi had not been able to stop so many cultivators from leaving, he would stop the three of them.

“What’s wrong?” Di Jiu sounded cold and the aura on him immediately swept toward Ji Mi.

Ji Mi was only at the mid-stage Dao Modeling. Even if Di Jiu did not make a move, he believed that Zhuo Wujia could get rid of this fellow. He then understood why Ji Mi had approached the three of them. Since they were new faces and their auras were extremely unfamiliar, Ji Mi had guessed that they were newcomers.

Wei Hongyi, who had been about to step forward, suddenly stopped. Since Ji Mi wanted Di Jiu’s First Evolution True Dew, he wanted to see how Di Jiu was going to set up the Confinement Killing Array.

“I’ve said so earlier. If you are willing to sell some First Evolution True Dew to me, I assure you that you’ll get a discount when you purchase anything,” Ji Mi said with a laugh. Not only was he ignoring Di Jiu’s domain aura, but he also swept over with his own domain aura instead.

He believed that Di Jiu and the other two had teamed up at the last moment. Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie had just undergone a Dao Modeling, so they were of no threat to him. As for Di Jiu, who was before him, he was not taking him seriously at all. Since they had teamed up at the last moment when danger had approached, they would only care about themselves. Moreover, he was not afraid that Di Jiu would be joining forces with the other two.

“Ha ha… How come Daoist Ji is not exercising alchemy in the Flame Essence Chamber of Commerce instead of coming here to take the risk like us?” Wei Hongyi laughed from afar, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.

Ji Mi’s face sank. He relied on the Flame Essence Chamber of Commerce’s prestige to bully the cultivators who arrived in Lackluster Ocean. He had not expected Wei Hongyi to call him out, as he did not hold any grudges against him.

Di Jiu knew very well what Wei Hongyi had meant. He wanted to tell him that he could kill Ji Mi at will, as Ji Mi was only an alchemy staff member of the Elixir Association. A true alchemist of the Elixir Association definitely would not have come to Lackluster Ocean to take this risk.

As for why Wei Hongyi was so kind-hearted, Di Jiu knew that when he had killed the patch-faced man earlier, this fellow had not seen clearly how he had done it. Therefore, he wanted to make use of him to kill Ji Mi this time and have a proper look. After he saw how Di Jiu killed Ji Mi clearly, Wei Hongyi would snatch his First Evolution True Dew.

Despite what Wei Hongyi thought, Di Jiu immediately slashed with his Heavenly Aqua Saber, which did not have any killing intent whatsoever.

Di Jiu believed that as long as he made a move, Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie would definitely do the same.

Upon seeing Di Jiu daring to make the first move, the viciousness on Ji Mi’s face grew richer. He had made use of the Flame Essence Chamber of Commerce’s fame, but not anyone could casually attack him. After all, he was a Dao Modeling Alchemy Deity with a status in the Lackluster Ocean Divine City.

He drew out a cauldron and used frantic Dao runes against Di Jiu. Di Jiu, who was a mere Immortal Emperor, had dared to attack him?

He very soon realized that Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber did not have any killing intent. At the same time, Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia, who were behind Di Jiu, had also drawn their Dharma treasures and pointed them at him.

How could Ji Mi still be concerned about Di Jiu, who was no threat to him at this point? His cauldron flew toward Zhuo Wujia’s Cosmic Kun Pagoda. At the same time, his surrounding Dao runes fluctuated and an even more valiant aura rose to suppress Mu Jie.

Boom! Ji Mi’s expression instantly changed, as his cauldron was useless against Zhuo Wujia’s Cosmic Kun Pagoda.

Ji Mi then understood what was going on. Di Jiu’s saber move had torn the law of his divine power apart earlier.

Fear rushed forth in his head. What kind of terrifying divine power was this?

Regardless of what kind of terrifying divine power it was, he could only frantically sweep up his Essence Energy toward the Cosmic Kun Pagoda that was about to crush him flat at this point.

“Pfft!” Mu Jie’s saber flashed through and left a trail of bloody mist in the air. Before Ji Mi’s Principal Spirit could beg for forgiveness, Di Jiu had already burned him with a ball of flame. At the same time, he swept away Ji Mi’s ring.

Wei Hongyi, who was prepared to step forward, stopped as a chill rushed forth in his head. The three of them had killed Ji Mi earlier almost within a few breaths.

On the other hand, he still had not seen the technique Di Jiu had used. However, he was certain that if he dared to step forth and make a move, he would not have a better fate than Ji Mi. He could also see that Zhuo Wujia had managed to undergo a Dao Modeling in a short time and was stronger than that woman.

Di Jiu scanned Wei Hongyi, who had halted, and told Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie, “Let’s go.”
