Chapter 295: The True Dominion Tournament

Although paying 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones for a night was also very expensive, Di Jiu didn’t think that it was too expensive if he compared it to the Immortal Ascension Inn.
This wasn’t because there was abundant Spirit Qi in the cave abode he was in. Actually, he hadn’t placed a lot of emphasis on Spirit Qi during cultivation ever since he had gotten 200 supreme-grade spirit meridians. What he cared about more was whether the Law of Heaven and Earth was clear in the place where he was cultivating.
The cave abode he was in had abundant Spirit Qi, and its Law of Cultivation was also much clearer than it was in the Small Central World. Di Jiu didn’t know how big the True Dominion was. However, it had to be at a higher level than the Small Central World, as the Laws there were much clearer.
Di Jiu wasn’t interested in the True Dominion. He was there only to take part in the True Dominion Genius Tournament and take Jing Moshuang away. According to their agreement, Han Qingyi should be bringing Jing Moshuang to the Immortal Ascension City this time. Therefore, he wouldn’t leave the Immortal Ascension Inn before he received any news from them. He would just stay in the inn and cultivate.
…
The main powers of the True Dominion didn’t come from sects. Instead, they came from the Five Major Protectorates and the big families. The sects didn’t have any place in the True Dominion.
The Zhuo Family was considered one of the top three provinces in the True Dominion. The family head, Zhuo Changgeng, was a fourth-stage Domain Realm Cultivator that could rank among the top 10 in the True Dominion.
More than 10 Elders from the Zhuo Family were currently sitting in the Zhuo Family hall. A beautiful young lady who was sitting on the first seat on the right side looked exceptionally prominent and captivating. Di Jiu would have recognized this lady, who was Zhuo Wenshu, if he had been there. There was no way to hide her charm, despite the fact that she was wearing a veil.
“The True Dominion Genius Tournament is about to begin. I will be going with Wenshu and Elder Shu. Elder Shu will handle Di Jiu if he comes. Make sure you don’t leave a trace.” Zhuo Changgeng spoke calmly with unmistakable killing intent.
“You don’t have to worry about anything else, Di Jiu. Concentrate on the tournament. You don’t have to worry even if you fail.” Xian Ze had a thought after cultivating there for half a month. If he could keep cultivating in the True Dominion, it would be possible for him to perfect the Domain Realm. Once he did that, then maybe he could use another method to go to the Immortal World.
Di Jiu smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about me, Senior Xi. I am confident about making the top three.” Di Jiu didn’t take the competition seriously.
“Di Jiu, you are stronger than me. We only take into consideration one’s strength in the Cultivation World. Since we don’t come from the same sect, let’s address each other as ‘Brother’ instead. It will make us feel closer,” Xian Ze said as he patted Di Jiu on the back.
Di Jiu, who respected Xian Ze, didn’t mind when he heard his suggestion. “Okay. I will call you Older Brother then,” he said.
Di Jiu believed that Xian Ze was right. The relationship that they shared was different from the one he had with Huan Mingzi. Huan Mingzi had played an important role in guiding him in his cultivation after all. Therefore, he readily agreed when Xian Ze suggested that they become friends.
…
The Immortal Ascension Square was crowded. There was a platform that protruded about three feet above the ground. When Di Jiu scanned it with his Spiritual Force, he estimated that the platform could hold at least 4,000 to 5,000 people. Between the platform and the square was an isolation zone. The isolation zone was protected by a Defense Array and a dedicated pathway led straight to the platform.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force detected many familiar faces, including Di Feixue, Ji Hongchuan, and Han Qingyi. He even saw Zhuo Wenshu.
“Please wait a minute, Big Brother Xi. I have to leave for a while.” Di Jiu walked over to Han Qingyi without hesitation. He had waited until now because he had known that Han Qingyi would come. Otherwise, he would have gone to the Falling Ice Mountain long ago.
“Stop!” Di Jiu was blocked when he got within 10 feet of Han Qingyi.
“Is Moshuang doing fine, Fairy Qingyi?” asked Di Jiu.
His heart sank when he saw that Han Qingyi was avoiding his eyes. Before he could speak, a frightening aura swept in and Di Jiu felt his whole body freeze.
The Heavenly Aqua Saber was vibrating. Di Jiu could hardly control his killing intent. He would strike if Han Qingyi did not give him a good answer.
The freezing aura that had swept in came from an elegant man standing behind Han Qingyi. Di Jiu estimated that his cultivation level was around the fifth-stage Domain Realm. He couldn’t even compare to the Skygold Protectorate Lord, yet he had dared attack Di Jiu.
Han Qingyi also sensed Di Jiu’s killing intent. She actually saw the red embellishments on Di Jiu’s saber flutter, even though there was no wind. The saber exuded a fierce aura. She believed that Di Jiu would strike here considering that he had dared forgo saving Zhuo Wenshu.
She immediately said, “You don’t have to worry, Daoist Di. Junior Sister Moshuang is fine. The tournament is about to begin. Why don’t we speak again after it is over?”
She was right. A middle-aged man appeared on the platform in the middle of the square and said in a loud, clear voice, “All the cultivators who possess the qualification card to the True Dominion Genius Tournament are kindly requested to enter the competition grounds now.”
