Chapter 705 - Meeting Old Friends
When Di Jiu saw that the woman before him had great changes in her appearance, he immediately remembered who it was. Heng Shuangqi! This should be the woman rescued by him from the Wormhole. However, he had not expected her to still be here.
“Brother Di…” Shen Changshui went over with cupped fists.
Even though he was more qualified than Di Jiu, Di Jiu had left the Wormhole Defense District first. He had heard that he had escaped the pursuit of Ni Xiren and Sha Wushang. He knew better than anyone at the moment that Di Jiu was not just a little bit more formidable than him. What he could not understand was why Di Jiu had come out of the Wormhole again.
What he wanted to know was how Di Jiu had gotten away from Ni Xiren and Sha Wushang this time, as he was sure that as long as Di Jiu appeared in the Wormhole Defense District, Ni Xiren and Sha Wushang would know immediately.
“Leader Shen, why haven’t you left the Wormhole yet?” Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Shen Changshui.
In fact, it was not uncommon for a cultivator to be trapped in the Wormhole Defense District for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. However, Shen Changshui was the leader of the North District. A leader should have accumulated enough contribution points over the years to leave this place. Even if he could not go to the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, he should have left this place.
From Di Jiu’s perspective, Shen Changshui had a very serious internal injury and his Essence Energy was as dispirited as though it was constantly declining. This puzzled Di Jiu even more. Generally speaking, cultivators who stepped into the Dao World did not experience a constant increase in their essence, Qi, or spirit.
That was not right. This had happened to both Shen Changshui and Heng Shuangqi.
A hint of sadness flashed in Shen Changshui’s eyes while he shook his head without saying anything. The other cultivators had heard of Di Jiu’s power so they remained silent.
What surprised Di Jiu the most was the three women. One of them was Zhen Man, who had captivated him when he had been young. However, after going through a family upheaval and finding out Zhen Man’s nature, Di Jiu had long forgotten this woman. He had not expected that she would actually appear in the Dao World.
No matter how good Zhen Man’s qualifications were, she should have had to at least cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years to come to the Dao World. However, she had come here less than 10,000 years ago. What was going on? Furthermore, Zhen Man’s cultivation level was not low. She was at the mid-stage Dao Modeling.
Di Jiu did not believe that everyone would get the Ninth Dao Law like him. There was only one Ninth Dao Law in the entire vast universe.
What Di Jiu found even more unexpected was another woman, who was wearing a pale cyan dress and was more beautiful than Zhen Man.
When Di Jiu had met the woman, she had still been in a coffin. She was the woman who had been fast asleep on the Fairy Planet.
Back then, he had seen the woman not long after she’d woken up in the jade coffin. She had been slashed into a coma at the stone pillar of the hall.
By the time she’d woken up, she had already been in the Polar Night Continent. Di Jiu had always suspected that this woman was related to the fact that he had landed in the Polar Night Continent, but he’d never met her.
When Ni Xiren saw Di Jiu, he felt ecstatic. It really took extreme effort for his enemy to actually appear before him.
Ni Xiren did not immediately step forward to make a move, as there were many important top-notch people he could not even mess with.
At the moment, Di Jiu had disheveled hair and filth all over him. He exuded the smell of blood and also had a dispirited aura. Anyone could see he was in dire straits.
Zhen Man did not recognize Di Jiu at first. However, Lan Ru, who stood beside Zhen Man, recognized him. She looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. “It’s you?”
Di Jiu replied with cupped fists, “Thank you, Senior Sister, for saving my life. It is indeed me.”
Upon seeing Lan Ru here, Di Jiu could guess that he had indeed been rescued by the woman in the light cyan dress, as the woman before him almost had the same cultivation level as him, the perfected Primordial Dao and half-step Primordial Chaos.
“I didn’t expect that you would ascend to the Dao World given your qualifications.” Lan Ru came back to her senses and spoke with a sigh. She knew his qualifications, but she really could not figure out how Di Jiu had ascended to the Dao World.
Zhen Man finally recognized Di Jiu and stared at him in shock before asking, “You’re Di Jiu?”
Di Jiu smiled. “Congratulations, Zhen Man.”
He did not congratulate Zhen Man only because she had reached the Dao World, but also because she had a solid foundation after reaching the mid-stage Dao Modeling.
There was a flash of inexplicable emotion in the corners of Zhen Man’s eyes. She also admired Di Jiu, as he had come to the Dao World within 10,000 years. She was also aware that from this day onward, Di Jiu would never be able to keep up with her. Now, she stood before Di Jiu like a fairy who had succeeded in her Dao Modeling. Since Di Jiu was so filthy and sloppy, he should be feeling inferior, right?
