Ninth in The World - Chapter 574

Chapter 574: 574

He was not in?

 Sha Wushang, who had found out that Di Jiu was not in his cave abode, hesitated for a while . He was puzzled about how Di Jiu, a mere Immortal Emperor, could have so many divine crystals . He did not suspect Di Jiu’s identity .

 Now that Di Jiu was not in his room, Sha Wushang opened his Defense Array and entered his room . Since he had doubts, he had to figure out what was going on .

 There was nothing in Di Jiu’s room besides some basic array flags and the array flags set up into a level-eight Immortal Array .

 Sha Wushang picked up an array flag and his Spiritual Force permeated it . This array flag technique seemed a little different from an ordinary refined array flag technique .

 That was not right . This array flag was somewhat familiar…

 Very soon, Sha Wushang understood where this familiarity came from . He lifted his hand and took out an array disc before his expression turned ugly .

 He could be sure at the moment that the person who had refined the array disc in his hands had also refined this array flag .

 Ni Xiren had given him this array disc that a cultivator called Zimo had refined . It was also very likely that this Zimo cultivator had taken away his grandson Sha Puyu’s Dao Seed .

 This cultivator called Di Da was very likely Zimo . Sha Wushang clenched his fists tightly, as he had not expected that his enemy would brush past him and even stay beside him for almost a week .

 That was not right . He would certainly return since he probably had not checked out yet . Otherwise, there would not have been any array flags left .

 Sha Wushang restrained his inner impatience as he waited for Di Jiu in his room .

 In the blink of an eye, two days had passed . Sha Wushang had by now guessed that Di Jiu might not return so he immediately went to the first floor of the inn .

 “Sir…” Before the inn assistant could say more than two words, Sha Wushang grabbed him by the neck and said in an ice-cold tone, “Where did that cultivator called Di Da go? I’ll give you three seconds . If you can’t answer me, I’ll strangle you to death . ”

 “Sir, you’re so mighty… Do you think you can do as you please after attaining the second step? If you have the guts, then strangle me to death and find out . ” An even more ice-cold voice was heard behind Sha Wushang . At the same time, a terrifying killing intent shrouded Sha Wushang .

 Sha Wushang’s heart turned cold . He slowly put down the inn assistant and turned his head around .

 A middle-aged man stood before him . He was around the same height and looked extremely ordinary . He clearly wanted to be a level stronger than him judging by the aura that he emitted .

 Immediately, Sha Wushang knew this person was at least at the mid-stage Primordial Dao . He sighed deeply and regretted his reckless action .

 “Dear friend, I was rash just now . I apologize . ” Sha Wushang had completely quietened down . This was the First Evolution Sacred Dao City, not that corner of the Star Dock . A Primordial Dao Sacred Emperor in the Star Dock was like heaven . It was not strange for a Primordial Chaos expert to appear, let alone a Primordial Dao .

 “Get lost . The North Dao Immortal Inn doesn’t welcome people like you . ” When the middle-aged man spoke, his killing aura rushed toward Sha Wushang in an earth-shattering manner .

 It was obvious that as long as Sha Wushang said anything else, he would make a move without hesitation .

 After all, Sha Wushang was a second-step expert . His killing intent immediately grew when he was asked to get lost . However, when he recalled that this was the First Evolution Sacred Dao City, where there were abundant experts, and the other party had a stronger cultivation than his mid-stage Primordial Dao, he forcibly swallowed his rage .

 He then shot a look at the middle-aged man and rapidly stepped out of the North Dao Immortal Inn without even requesting a refund for his room .

 He recalled an inn assistant saying that he would help Di Jiu with the auction house tickets . Hence, he decided to go to the auction house to wait for him . If Di Jiu did not even go to the auction house, that would mean that he had left the First Evolution Sacred Dao City . As for why he would do that, Sha Wushang could also vaguely guess that it was very likely that Di Jiu had suspected his background .

 …

 Di Jiu, who was very satisfied, took out the jade card that was used to listen to the Primordial Chaos Patriarch’s Dao discussion . Not only had that deacon helped him with his outer sect disciple identity in a short time, but he had also helped him get a simple cave abode .

 The other party had not even exposed his disguise . The First Evolution Dao Sect’s outer sect disciples were clearly dispensable in his eyes and could not even be considered disciples of the sect . In that case, did it matter whether Di Jiu disguised himself?

 Di Jiu resided in the Outer Sect Mountain of the First Evolution Dao Sect, which seemed to be a place where outer sect disciples resided . Not many outer sect disciples could get a pretty good cave abode like his .

 Di Jiu did not return to his residence . Instead, he went to the Vast Ruins’ Teleportation Hall directly with his outer sect disciple identification card .

 The cultivator at the Teleportation Hall did not mind Di Jiu’s identity at all . After he took out his teleportation card, he got into the Teleportation Array very easily .

 This was clearly a long-distance teleportation and Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was considered very strong . While he was being teleported, he felt dizzy and light-headed . He could not even extend his Spiritual Force at all, let alone sense the state of the teleportation void .

 After a long time, Di Jiu came back to his senses from the dramatic quake when both his feet landed on the ground .

 It should be here .

 Di Jiu hurriedly walked out of the Teleportation Array . The Teleportation Hall he was in was not big, so it only took him a few steps to reach the door .

 Di Jiu scanned the place with his Spiritual Force but was obstructed by the door . He clearly could not scan the outside or the inside with his Spiritual Force .

 With just a few steps, Di Jiu managed to step out of the Teleportation Hall . Then, a desolate feeling rushed forth . He subconsciously stopped in his steps and lifted his head to look at the sky afar . The sky was yellow, as if he was at the end of Earth . Apart from that desolation, there was also emptiness and barrenness .

 According to his Spiritual Force, several cultivators were coming in and out in a hurry . Every cultivator carried a rich killing intent .

 Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force followed the direction of these cultivators and found a grayish-yellow hall .

 Di Jiu entered the hall along with several other cultivators . The hall was big, so Di Jiu scanned it roughly . It occupied the space of dozens of plots .

 In the hall, dozens of cultivators sat in a corner as though they were all recuperating .

 There was also a window at the far back of the hall with a few words written on it: Resources Exchange Corner .

 Di Jiu walked toward the Resources Exchange Corner, where an expressionless woman sat behind the window . She did not even lift her head as she said coldly, “What do you need?”

 “Can I ask if there are any introduction jade slips on the Vast Ruins?” Di Jiu asked respectfully .

 The woman finally lifted her head and focused her attention on Di Jiu . She then replied, “You’re new here?”

 Di Jiu nodded his head . “Yes . ”

 The woman took out a jade slip and threw it to Di Jiu . “10 high-grade divine crystals . ”

 It was not cheap indeed . Di Jiu sighed silently before he took out 10 high-grade divine crystals and handed them to the woman . Then, he took the jade slip .

 As she saw Di Jiu turn around to leave, the woman behind the window suddenly told him, “Don’t go to the second level . You’ll lose your life . ”

 The woman added when she saw Di Jiu stop, “There used to be 10,000 to 20,000 people here, but only dozens are left . Also, don’t enter the Vast Ruins alone . ”

 Di Jiu laughed . “Thank you . ”

 Then, he turned around and went to a corner, sitting down like the other cultivators . At the same time, he took out the introduction jade slip that he had purchased earlier .

 “The Vast Ruins is a place where the law did not completely condense when the Dao World was formed . The law here is in utter chaos . Apart from the Five-Element Beasts, any other form of life cannot cultivate . The Five-Element Beasts can also swallow Five-Element nomological fragments . Survival is…”

 When he read that the Five-Element Beasts could swallow nomological fragments, Di Jiu thought of his cultivation technique . He cultivated the Nomological Dao and could understand the Heaven Earth Law aura . His cultivation technique was also somewhat similar to the Five-Element Beasts’ cultivation .

“Most of the Five-Element Beasts have a form and a body with sharp attacks . This contributes a lot to cultivating the Five-Element divine power . However, some Five-Element Beasts have neither shadow nor form . Hence, they can be swallowed accidentally .

 In the Vast Ruins, the most terrifying thing is not being swallowed by the Five-Element Beasts but being poisoned by the Five-Element Law, which can cause one to become a new Five-Element Beast . That’s right, the Five-Element Beasts are not entirely from the Vast Ruins . Many of them are assimilated from the cultivators who come here to put themselves to the test…”
