Ninth In the World

Within a short span of time, the price of the Embodiment of Truth Fern Fruit rose to 3,650,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. Although after this point, the people competing over it had decreased, the price was still jumping.

“10,000,000!” The mind-blowing price on the huge bidding panel made the intensive bidding stop instantly.

The value of the Embodiment of Truth Fern Fruit was high, yet it shouldn’t be worth 10,000,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. This price was practically a prank.

When Di Jiu had competed for the True Dominion Genius Tournament qualification card earlier and the price had increased to 10,000,000 high-grade Spirit Stones, nobody had considered it too much. That was because nobody had had any use for the qualification card. Since they’d had no use for it, they hadn’t cared if the bid was increased to 100,000,000 or if the other bidders had followed the rules.

Now that the price of the Embodiment of Truth Fern Fruit had been increased to 10,000,000, everybody felt unhappy. This didn’t adhere to the rules.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had detected that the person who had placed the 10,000,000-bid was that bearded youth. This time, the man had acted smarter. Instead of shouting the bid, he had just written down “10,000,000” on the bidding panel.

By looking at the conceited face of the bearded youth, Di Jiu could already guess that he probably only had about 10,000,000 Spirit Stones on him. If he was wrong, when he increased the bid to 10,010,000, the young man would definitely continue to increase the bid considering his arrogant attitude.

Upon thinking of this, Di Jiu wrote down “10,010,000” once again.

Boom! When the bearded youth saw this price, he immediately flew into a rage. He shattered the cabin restriction with a punch and shouted out of the cabin entrance, “Who did this? Own up to it!”

Humans had the most suitable Dao body for cultivation practice in heaven and earth. Every cultivator cultivated their own body while they also cultivated Dao. If their body had a crippled limb, there would be a flaw. If this flaw was restored early enough, they would still have a chance of mastering Dao. However, once this flaw became a permanent loss, then it would be difficult to recover the Dao body.

Ceng Beizi had a hidden desire to find her father. She wouldn’t give up as long as her father still had even the slightest chance of being alive. If she couldn’t continue cultivating, then there would be no need to talk about finding the Fairy Planet.

The Essence Soul Realm might have been considered powerful on the Fairy Planet, but Ceng Beizi was well aware that it was considered very weak in the real Cultivation World. Besides, she had also heard that there was an Immortal World above the Cultivation World.

“Take it as soon as possible. Your cultivation is still low. As long as you recover your arm quickly enough, your Dao will not be affected much,” said Xian Ze encouragingly. Xian Ze was very fond of the few young people who were with him.

After Ceng Beizi thanked him, she opened the jade box and consumed the Embodiment of Truth Fern Fruit.

The Embodiment of Truth Fern Fruit turned into Spirit Liquid as soon as she put it in her mouth. Ceng Beizi quickly circulated her cultivation technique. In only two hours, her broken arm was restored. However, her face was slightly paler.

Di Jiu blocked Ceng Beizi and thanked her again. He took out a few rings, handed them to everybody and said, “You get one each. These are elixirs that will help you attain the Ekayāna Tripod Realm. They were considered my harvest from the Small Central Planet. How much you improve after you reach the Ekayāna Tripod Realm will depend on you.”

Xian Ze admired Di Jiu’s selfless nature. After Di Jiu finished handing out everything, he said, “Now that this matter is over, let’s leave this place.”

Too many large sects, both good and bad, had gathered on the Small Central Planet. Staying there too long would not be beneficial.

“Senior Huan, Senior Xi, I have to go to Reed Island,” Di Jiu said. “I need to ask both of you to help me find a place to build the Galaxy Sect when I return.”

Huan Mingzi was a top-notch expert of the Small Central World, so it would definitely be better if he stepped forward and found the sect encampment instead of Di Jiu.

Huan Mingzi muttered to himself for a long time before he said, “I do know of a place, but the combined powers of supreme-grade spirit meridians will be required. Unfortunately, there are too few supreme-grade spirit meridians now…”

Di Jiu didn’t wait for Huan Mingzi to finish speaking. He immediately took out a ring and handed it over to Huan Mingzi. “Sir, I coincidentally got some supreme-grade spirit meridians from the Small Central Planet. You can have them first. If they are insufficient, I will get more when I return.”

“Ten meridians…” When Huan Mingzi’s Spiritual Force landed on the ring and he saw the ten supreme-grade spirit meridians in it, he nearly screamed out in surprise.

He hadn’t gone out, so he hadn’t known that Di Jiu had gotten some supreme-grade spirit meridians from the Small Central Planet.

Di Jiu laughed. “I obtained over 100 supreme-grade spirit meridians. There will still be many left after you use some of them.”

Something like this would spread through the whole Small Central World sooner or later. Thus, Di Jiu didn’t need to hide it.

Huan Mingzi stared at Di Jiu with big eyes. Over 100 supreme-grade spirit meridians? Very soon, he sighed to himself. He estimated that the Galaxy Sect would not be very safe in the future. Who had let Di Jiu get so many supreme-grade spirit meridians?

Even though Huan Mingzi was an expert who had almost attained the Domain Realm, he just sighed and pushed these thoughts aside. “Okay, let me handle the sect matters. I promise to set up a top-notch sect before you return.”

After he finished speaking, Huan Mingzi took out a jade slip, carved some engravings on it and handed it to Di Jiu. “This is the Galaxy Sect’s encampment. Meet us there after you have taken care of everything.”

“Thank you both, Seniors.” Di Jiu accepted the jade slip and bowed.

He hadn’t built the Galaxy Sect for himself. This was for Jing Moshuang. However, it was also his way of showing his gratitude for the lessons he had been taught by the Galaxy Sect. His Galaxy Art belonged to the Galaxy Sect after all.

…

After Di Jiu bade farewell to Huan Mingzi and the others, he didn’t go to the Reed Island immediately. Instead, he disguised himself and returned to the Small World Planet Square.

Even though he had to go to the Reed Island, he also had to eradicate the Mirage Sword Sect’s encampment from the Small World Planet Square.

Di Jiu was a first-stage True Form cultivator. Thus, in terms of cultivation, he might not be able to beat the Sect Master of the Mirage Sword Sect, Xiao Wu. However, in terms of Spiritual Force, several Xiao Wus combined could not compare to Di Jiu. Di Jiu turned invisible to set up the Confinement Killing Arrays and the explosive arrays around the Mirage Sword Sect’s encampment so that Xiao Wu would not notice. Besides, the two True Form experts of the Mirage Sword Sect, Xiao Wu and Gai Shu, were not at the encampment yet. They hadn’t returned from the auction.

Two days had passed. Only after the Mirage Sword Sect’s encampment had been locked up by the invisibility Confinement Killing Arrays and explosive arrays did Xiao Wu and Gai Shu return gleefully and walk into the encampment.

Di Jiu was sure that their rings contained many good items. What a pity that these items would not exist anymore after the two level-nine Dharma Arrays he had set up self-detonated.
