Chapter 180 - The Dao Roll
Could one be unable to head to the Everlasting Domain Planet from this place? Di Jiu’s knowledge had been obtained from Master Qian Fenghua. However, tens of thousands of years had passed. On Earth, several civilizations would have been born and eliminated during that period.
This sort of situation could even occur in a cultivation continent. Di Jiu was not sure if one could be teleported to the Yalun Continent from this place. “That’s right, I want to go to the Yalun Continent,” he confirmed.
The female cultivator serving him immediately asked respectfully, “Please pass me your qualification card, sir. I’ll help you go through the necessary procedures and get to the Yalun Continent immediately.”
She might find Di Jiu’s attire strange, but eccentric people would often do extraordinary things.
“Qualification card?” Di Jiu asked in confusion, “Is a qualification card necessary to be able to teleport? Can’t Spirit Stones be used instead?”
When the female server understood what was going on, her face turned cold. “Go back and purchase a book on teleportation regulations.”
“Ha ha! This guy has made the same mistake I did. When I first came here, I also thought that one could teleport to the other four continents at will. I only discovered later that this wasn’t the case!” a crisp voice said by Di Jiu’s ear.
When he looked back, Di Jiu saw a young man who was slightly shorter than him. The young man’s eyes were bright, and his long hair was tied in a cultivator hairstyle. He was wearing a tight-fitting cultivator robe. With one glance, Di Jiu realized that he was at the third-stage Essence Soul Realm.
“I am Di Jiu. I just came here from somewhere else, so I would like to consult another Daoist,” said Di Jiu as he cupped his fists hurriedly.
“If you entered these three rolls, you would also enter the Dao Roll. If you’re a cultivator in the Sea Roll of the Dao Roll, once your cultivation breaks through to the Ekayāna Tripod Realm, you would automatically be removed from the Sea Roll. After leaving the Sea Roll, you would still meet the teleportation qualification for three years. You would only not meet it if you were unable to reach the True Form Realm and enter a higher-level Dao Roll during those three years.”
Di Jiu was dumbfounded. His cultivation level was currently at the fifth-stage Essence Soul Realm. Even if he battled with people of a higher cultivation than him and fought against early-stage Void Spirit Realm Cultivators, he would still not be close to entering the Sea Roll.
He would definitely be no match for even the weakest Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator, let alone the experts on the Sea Roll. Experts congregated in the Small Central World, so it was obvious that the 108 cultivators on the Sea Roll were all apex experts. Perhaps they could all fight with cultivators of a higher cultivation. Given his current cultivation, Di Jiu would be committing suicide if he competed against these people over a place on the Sea Roll.
“There’s no roll for cultivators below the Pioneer Sea Realm?” asked Di Jiu, who was unwilling to admit defeat.
“There is,” Gai Shitian said. “There’s a Potential Dao Roll. This roll is occupied by a total of 1,000 geniuses who are likely to enter the Dao Roll in the future. However, being on the Potential Dao Roll doesn’t provide one with teleportation qualification. Actually, there is a roll above the Life Roll called the True Form King Roll. There are only 36 people on this roll, each of them an apex True Form expert.”
“Are there any other methods to head to the Yalun Continent?” Di Jiu felt helpless. If there was no other way around this, he would just have to cultivate until he reached the Pioneer Sea Realm first. Once he attained the Pioneer Sea Realm, he would enter the Sea Roll and meet the qualification to go to the Everlasting Domain Planet.
“There are two other methods. One of them is being a Grade-Seven Elixir King acknowledged by the Elixir Association, and the other is being a Grade-Seven Weapon King acknowledged by the Weapon Association.”
“What about Array Kings, Shitian?” Di Jiu immediately asked in excitement. “What if one is a Level-Seven Array King?”
Gai Shitian shook his head. “Array formation experts don’t get any special benefits, nor do they obtain any teleportation qualification cards.”
Di Jiu’s heart sank. He suddenly sighed. He should have studied alchemy back in the day. If he had, he would have been close to reaching the level of a Grade-Seven Elixir King.
Di Jiu wondered whether it would have taken him less time to become a Grade-Seven Elixir King, a Grade-Seven Weapon King, or a Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator.
“Did you see that red-haired man, Brother Di Jiu? He is Hong Kui and he ranks 93rd on the Sea Roll. His two hammers are very scary. He might be at the ninth-stage Pioneer Sea Realm, but I’ve heard that the average early-stage Ekayāna Tripod Realm Cultivator dares not fight against him. I never expected that I would one day see Hong Kui in the Sky Route City!” pointed out Gai Shitian excitedly when he saw Hong Kui. Gai Shitian did not know what Di Jiu was thinking about.
When he looked over, Di Jiu saw a red-haired man with a fit body. Based on the man’s aura, he could sense that Hong Kui was at least at the late-stage Pioneer Sea Realm.
Meanwhile, he could also sense his oppressive aura. Many cultivators who recognized Hong Kui unconsciously made way for him. Di Jiu even saw a cultivator with an indistinct cultivation make way for Hong Kui. It was important to note that cultivators with obscure cultivation would most likely be at the Ekayāna Tripod Realm or higher.
