Ninth In the World

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao and had modeled his Dao in the Vast Ruins. Therefore, he was more sensitive to the Heaven Earth Law changes here than an ordinary cultivator.

He followed the location where the fragmented laws had concentrated. A month later, Di Jiu saw huge brownish-yellow steps. This flight of steps extended and looked like a large brownish-yellow area.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force spread. Even though it sensed an even more concentrated fragmented law, everything else seemed fuzzy.

Di Jiu had come here to put himself to the test. He only stopped below this brownish-yellow flight of steps for a few breaths before he extended his body and rushed up to them. Before he landed on the ground, a jet-black Five-Element Beast pounced over.

Di Jiu’s body tilted before he gave a kick.

The Five-Element Beast was sent flying by Di Jiu’s Jumbo Footprint and it landed directly on the first level.

Both its legs landed on the ground. When Di Jiu scanned it with his Spiritual Force, he immediately sensed even clearer fragment laws.

These shattered nomological fragments were extremely distinct. Di Jiu was sure that even if he did not cultivate the Nomological Dao, he would also have sensed the Five-Element Law aura among it as he stood there.

It was no wonder that the Vast Ruins were said to be the best place to cultivate one’s divine power. It was indeed true. One could capture the Five-Element Law divine power more easily and understand the laws among it.

Since Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao, he was among these endless Heaven Earth Law fragments. Thus, he could understand all the laws within it easily.

…

Today was a big day for the young residents of the Dao World.

This was because today was the Dao World’s 86th Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting, which was held every 100,000 years. One could say that this was one of the most important exchange meetings in the Dao World.

Dao Modeling cultivators normally attended the so-called Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting. The reason that it was called ‘Hidden Sacred’ was that it indicated an exchange meeting of the genius disciples who would have a chance to attain Primordial Chaos or an even higher level in the future.

There were not many Primordial Chaos experts even in the Dao World, let alone any experts who had surpassed the Primordial Chaos level. Each of these Dao Modeling cultivators, who had the qualifications to attain Primordial Chaos, were precious members of every major sect and a target for everyone who wanted to befriend them.

The Dao World’s Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting had been held for nearly tens of millions of years. 90% of the people who could attend it were individuals who had broken through to the Primordial Dao Realm. Half of them also had the chance to try Dao Validation and Primordial Chaos.

The Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting basically ensured the Dao World’s future Primordial Chaos distribution and protected those who could surpass the Primordial Chaos level. Thus, it was a huge honor to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting.

Even though everyone wanted to attend it, it was not easy to get past the door. Each time, only the members of the Dao World’s Five Major Sects could truly do so, followed by some first-rate sects. As for the Itinerant Cultivators and the small sects, they basically had no hope of entering to watch the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting.

They stopped most of the cultivators who were above 100,000 years old. Regardless of whether they were geniuses, they did not qualify to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting.

Every time, the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting took place in the Hidden Sacred City.

This time, the Hidden Sacred City was buzzing with people. Even though only 100 cultivators attended the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting every time, this meeting offered endless business opportunities.

This was because some cultivators who were chosen to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting would choose a time to discuss their Dao in the Hidden Sacred City.

Many cultivators who came did not hope to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting but came to listen to these geniuses’ Dao discussion, which was far better than being in seclusion.

All sorts of business opportunities arose once many people came. Therefore, apart from the cultivators who wanted to attend the Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting, many merchants came as well.

The Hidden Sacred Hall was the biggest building in the Hidden Sacred City. It only had one floor and it floated in the Hidden Sacred City. A slanted golden pathway led to the Hidden Sacred Hall directly. However, this golden pathway did not lead the geniuses who had finished attending the Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting all the way up but down.

If one could walk out of the Hidden Sacred Hall and pass by this golden pathway under countless watchful eyes, it would be a supreme honor and motivation.

Every Dao cultivator wished that they could break through to a higher level, and the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting was the true touchstone.

Outside the Hidden Sacred Hall of the Hidden Sacred City was a piece of testing pillar that was called the Hidden Sacred Pillar. The geniuses who wanted to enter the Hidden Sacred Hall to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting would test their age, Dao force, cultivation level strength, potential, and aptitude there.

Only the cultivators who could step up the Hidden Sacred Hall before this Hidden Sacred Pillar had the qualifications to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting.

During the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting, any cultivator could test themselves on the Hidden Sacred Pillar. No matter how many cultivators tested themselves, only about 100 of them could pass the test and enter the Hidden Sacred Hall to attend the meeting.

After Mo Yejiu came out of the Vast Ruins, he did not return to his sect. He immediately went to the Hidden Sacred City to attend the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting.

He had to attend it, as this was an order given by his parents. Since it was also a sect mission, he had to represent the Green Glazed Dao Sect.

At first, Mo Yejiu had really hoped to attend this Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting. Even though he did not like all sorts of Exchange Meetings indeed, the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting was different. It would tell him how far his Dao could get in the future.

However, after he had met Di Jiu in the Vast Ruins, most of Mo Yejiu’s interest in this Hidden Sect Dao Discussion Meeting had immediately vanished. If this was not the sect mission ordered by his parents, he would really have been unwilling to waste his time in such a place.

This was because he felt that a true expert might not necessarily come here to have a Dao discussion with them. For example, Di Jiu, who was definitely a true expert, was not coming.

As far as Di Jiu’s age was concerned, he had a feeling that Di Jiu was younger than him.

“Brother Mo…”

“Young Sect Master…”

Once Mo Yejiu arrived, many cultivators who were testing themselves at the Hidden Sacred Pillar came forward to greet him with cupped fists.

Mo Yejiu remained expressionless and only nodded his head slightly before he walked to the side of the Hidden Sacred Pillar. Upon seeing Mo Yejiu approach, a few cultivators hurriedly stepped aside.

Most of the cultivators there knew that Mo Yejiu did not like to talk. Even if he faced a top genius like Saintess Yu Qianxi, he would still have nothing to say.

Mo Yejiu stood before the Hidden Sacred Pillar and observed it for several seconds. All of a sudden, he lifted his legs and landed in the void with one step. He then lifted his hands to send a Dao rune aura into the Hidden Sacred Pillar. After several breaths, Mo Yejiu once again took a step up.

Three steps, four steps…

Many cultivators who were watching him in front of the Hidden Sacred Pillar silently envied him. Only the Young Master of one of the Five Major Sects, the Green Glazed Dao Sect, could possess such weightless strength.

Very soon, Mo Yejiu’s body disappeared. Everyone knew that he had already entered the Hidden Sacred Hall.

…

“Young Master Mo, you’re late.” Once Mo Yejiu entered the Hidden Sacred Hall, a thin and tall man approached him.

The people who came today almost represented the entire Dao World’s next generation of top-notch experts. Although Mo Yejiu did not talk much, he nodded his head and said in a plain voice, “I was trapped in the Vast Ruins.”

“Elder Brother Yejiu, you went to the Vast Ruins? I heard that Eternal Court Sacred Dao City’s Elder Brother Changyi is the top expert with the capability to survive in the Vast Ruins.” A charming woman walked over, sounding pleasantly surprised. She clearly had a good impression of Mo Yejiu.

Mo Yejiu faintly replied, “He’s not.”
