Ninth In the World

Using the identity of the Dao Transformation cultivator, Di Jiu left the Vast Ruins without a hitch. He arrived once again at the Green Li Sacred Dao City, where he disguised himself as a scholar.

 The Green Li Sacred Dao City was busy as always. There was a large amount of Teleportation Arrays there, so one could travel to many places. Di Jiu wanted to inquire about Jiang Dai, which was why he went to the largest inn in the Green Li Sacred Dao City, the Myriad Cultivator Inn.

 He already planned to give up on taking revenge if Jiang Dai was holed up in his nest. However, he was certain that Jiang Dai would not be, based simply on the fact that Jiang Dai had left the arrest warrant in the Green Li Sacred Dao City. The number one wanted man was Di Jiu.

 Given this fact, in combination with the fact that Jiang Dai had sent a man to guard the entrance of the Vast Ruins’ array door, he would definitely not be holing up in his nest while waiting.

…

 Jiang Dai was indeed not in the Dai He Hall, as he had come to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect again.

 His original plan had been not to provoke the Vast Pure Sacred Sect if his cultivation level did not improve. However, after collecting the soil where the Chaos Qi was and analyzing it for many years, he had discovered that various Dao fruits had once grown in this soil. More than a decade had passed, but the soil still contained faint Dao fruit runes.

 Di Jiu had teamed up with Yu Qianxi to enter the Vast Ruins. Since Di Jiu had obtained the Dao fruit, this meant that Yu Qianxi had as well.

 Jiang Dai could ignore other things but not the Dao fruit, as he had never had many of them before. If the Dao fruits were top-notch, he might be able to use them and attain Dao Integration. Even if Dao Integration could not be attained, getting halfway to a breakthrough would be wonderful as well.

 The Five-Element Flags were something he had left behind in the Immortal World. Since they had been seized by Di Jiu, that meant that Di Jiu had stolen Jiang Dai’s opportunity to attain greater heights.

 “Ha ha ha…” Laughter echoed from the recesses of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. Then, a short gray-robed Dao nun landed before the crowd. The surrounding space seemed to become one with her following her appearance.

 The gray-robed Dao nun stared at Jiang Dai coldly. “Since you think you have the upper hand over the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, let me see your capabilities. This is the first time anyone has tried to threaten the Vast Pure Sacred Sect since it was founded.”

Then, a seven-colored sword flare lunged at Jiang Dai.

 Jiang Dai felt a chill run down his body. There was really a Dao Integration expert in the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. What else could this Quintessential Essence domain oppression represent other than the identity of a Dao Integration expert?

 Even Yuan Hui was shocked. Dao Integration expert Yi Jin of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect had been at the end of the road a long time ago. How had she left her reclusive cultivation in such a fine state?

 …

 The first thing Di Jiu heard when he walked into the Myriad Cultivator Inn was conversations about him. Many people were analyzing why Jiang Dai had ordered Di Jiu’s arrest.

Some people said that this was because Di Jiu was an extremely young alchemist and Jiang Dai wanted to make Di Jiu join the Dai He Hall in order to cultivate. Others said that it was because Di Jiu had stolen Jiang Dai’s cultivation partner in a suicidal act.

 Di Jiu walked to a huge table, where a Dao Modeling cultivator was saying that Di Jiu was suicidal. Acting surprised, he asked, “Daoist, I heard that Di Jiu was only at the Dao Modeling Realm. Wouldn’t he be walking down a road that leads to death if he provoked the wrath of Hall Master Jiang?”

 “Indeed. He would not be able to walk another path even if one existed for him,” replied an old man beside him with a laugh before the Dao Modeling cultivator could reply.

 “He should be at a dead-end already, right? Where could he hide in this Dao World?” Di Jiu shook his head as he joined the conversation.

 The old man laughed again. “There is still the Void Ocean.”

 “What sort of place is the Void Ocean?” Di Jiu was elated, as he had only wanted to find out if Jiang Dai was still in his nest. He had not expected to get a pleasant surprise. If the Void Ocean really was safe, he could head there.

The cultivator was about to reply when a young Dao Modeling cultivator rushed in, shouting excitedly with a red face, “Hall Master Jiang Dai and the Vast Pure Sacred Sect are fighting! They say that it is a spectacular battle. Is anyone willing to spectate with me?’

 Di Jiu was dumbfounded that Jiang Dai had attacked the Vast Pure Sacred Sect.
