Chapter 184: 184
"Huh? It's you?" said a surprised voice beside Di Jiu . When he looked back, Di Jiu saw a gray-robed cultivator who was only at the first-stage Golden Core Realm . Had Di Jiu seen this man before?
"Don't you remember me? We gained insight into the Book of the World together…" Before Di Jiu could speak, the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator spoke up again .
Di Jiu suddenly recalled who this person was . Back when he had gone to gain insight into the Book of the World, this fella had informed him about the benefits of gaining such insight . He had been at the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm then, yet now he was at the first-stage Golden Core Realm .
Di Jiu's heart tensed up immediately . He hated when people mentioned the Book of the World in front of him . This fella had actually mentioned it in front of several people, basically telling everyone that he had also tried to gain insight into the Book of the World .
If the Book of the World had still been in the Sky Screen, the fact that he had gained this insight would not have been an issue . However, he had taken the book . Thus, this line of questioning could cause people to suspect him .
As expected, when this Golden Core Realm Cultivator mentioned the Book of the World, a late-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator asked in surprise, "Did the two of you try to gain insight into the Book of the World?"
"That's right . We met each other while we were trying to gain this insight," the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator said without any concern . "The Book of the World was taken away by someone later on . I attended the meeting held by the five biggest sects of the Small Central World regarding the Book of the World and told them in great detail what happened…"
The first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator stopped talking . He had suddenly recalled that he had not seen Di Jiu at that meeting .
Something was not right . After the disappearance of the Book of the World, the True Form Realm experts of the Small Central World had gathered all the cultivators who had gained insight into the Book of the World in the Sky Screen at the time . Everyone had been interrogated and every small detail had been repeatedly analyzed .
This cultivator was from the Small Central World, so he must logically also have been investigated . How could someone have slipped through the cracks?
Suddenly, the massive gates of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda opened with a boom . A True Form Realm Cultivator stood up and shouted, "The Five Continent Dao Pagoda has opened! Anyone can enter it . However, only cultivators who have ascended to the 49th level can help their sects gain points . Everyone must already be clear on the point system . However, I'll have to repeat myself . You will get one point for ascending to the 49th level, two points for ascending to the 50th level, and so on and so forth . You will get 10 points when you ascend to the 81st level . Each level thereafter will give you 10 additional points . Good luck . "
As the True Form Realm Cultivator's voice faded, the crowd swamped through the massive gates of the Five Continent Dao Pagoda .
Di Jiu slapped the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator on the shoulder, leaving a hidden Spiritual Force imprint on him . "I entered seclusion as soon as I left the Sky Screen," he said . "Let's chat after I exit the Five Continent Dao Pagoda . "
Di Jiu did not wait for the cultivator to reply . He immediately stretched his body shape and rushed into the crowd .
Several hundred thousand people were entering the Five Continent Dao Pagoda at the same time . Di Jiu rushed into the crowd while swiping at his face with his hand and changing his appearance by using the supreme-grade disguise Dharma weapon .
Then, he used the Spiritual Force escape technique several times amid the masses, eventually reaching the other side of the square . When he sensed that the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator's Spiritual Force was no longer trained on him, Di Jiu left the Five Continent Square without hesitation .
He had originally intended to enter and take a look at the Five Continent Dao Pagoda . He wanted to cultivate within the Dao Pagoda, no matter what . However, he did not dare enter the Five Continent Dao Pagoda now, no matter how much courage he had .
Five minutes later, Di Jiu left the Five Continent City with a sigh, feeling helpless against his own luck . He had encountered a problem with a small chance of occurring, so there was nothing he could do but blame his own bad luck .
Di Jiu cast the Spiritual Force escape technique frantically as soon as he left the Five Continent Square .
The Book of the World was in his possession . Once this was revealed, there was no doubt that he would die .
…
The first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator reacted only after Di Jiu had disappeared swiftly from his Spiritual Force . There seemed to be something wrong about this whole situation . Although a big number of cultivators were entering the Sky Screen from the Small Central World, it was absolutely impossible that one would not be investigated by the various nine-star sect experts after gaining insight into the Book of the World .
The Golden Core Realm Cultivator shuddered . He dared not even go down that line of thought .
"Based on what you said, you tried to gain insight into the Book of the World with the Daoist who just left?" asked the late-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator, who sensed that something was amiss when the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator stopped talking and Di Jiu departed suddenly .
"Yes, we both tried to gain insight into the Book of the World," the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator said hurriedly . "I would like to enter the Five Continent Dao Pagoda to try my luck now . Farewell . "
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave . I heard you saying that you were interrogated by the True Form Realm experts of the various big sects . Was that friend of yours who just entered the Five Continent Dao Pagoda interrogated as well?" The late-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator stared at the first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator as he spoke with a harsh tone .
