“Huh, it’s been over 100,000 years since a newcomer has come, how come there are two today?” Di Jiu had just landed on top of the boulder with nine lone pacesetters when he heard someone’s surprised voice.
The one who spoke was an old salty man who looked as if he had been soaked in time for a million years, and his body gave Di Jiu the impression of only two words, old and decaying. The turtledove skin was sparse and hairy, not even a few teeth remained, and his speech was still leaking wind.
But this man’s cultivation level Di Jiu was shocked, this was definitely a third step powerhouse, not even the pseudo third step that he had once easily blown away.
“Good luck for the two little dolls, not only did they manage to come to the Cosmic Staircase, they came to the Heavenly Staircase Knot so soon.” The old man with the turtledove skin laughed heatedly, his voice was generally unpleasant to the ears, like moldy rotten straw, and had an air that made people not want to hear it a second time.
Di Jiu was not going to listen to it a second time, but on the contrary, this old fellow was stopping them in their tracks.
“Old Lone, who is this man?” Di Jiu stopped and asked, he didn’t make a move because he didn’t want to start a conflict with the landlord here as soon as he arrived.
There were an unknown number of strong people in the vast universe, if he had to make a move to teach every one he couldn’t stand to see, he wouldn’t want to monasticize.
The lone pacesetter bristled, “It’s not just any little fish or shrimp I know.”
“Hehehe, kid, who are you talking about?” The old man with the turtledove skin hemmed and hawed a little as he looked at Lone Stepper.
Although Lone Stepper had not yet recovered to the third step, he was obviously not afraid of this old man with the turtledove skin and laughed, “Your Lone Taiji is talking about you.”
Di Jiu said coldly, “Old Lone, it’s fine to talk, don’t just grab my self-name. It’s fine if you must call yourself Master Tai, you can only call yourself Lone Third Master.”
“Why is it Lone Third?” Lone Stepman looked at Di Jiu in confusion.
“Because there is a Jiao Er Taiji already, so you can only be Lone Third.” As Di Jiu spoke, he looked at this old man with turtledove skin, he would like the old man with turtledove skin to fight with the Lone Stepman. There were dozens of guys on this boulder, and when they came up to this point, only this old man with turtled skin came to stop them, so it was clear that the guys on this boulder were not interested in outsiders.
To his disappointment, he waited for half a day, but the old man with the hatched skin had no intention of making a move, but only continued, “Each of the newcomers will give out one thing, otherwise, they will not be allowed to go up to the Heavenly Staircase Knot.”
The thunder was loud but the rain was small, and this old man with the turtledove skin had even turned his gaze towards him. This was typical of looking at himself as a bit of a bully, bullying the good and fearing the bad.
Di Jiu casually took out a law fragment and handed it to the old man with Hatchet Skin, “This is the best thing I have on me, since you blackmailed me, I can only give it to you.”
In Di Jiu’s opinion, which of the old guys on this Heavenly Staircase Knot were not left over from the ancient times, could these guys lack divine crystals and cultivation resources? So he took out a law fragment, but Di Jiu guessed that the other party would definitely not see this law fragment. If he wanted to make a move, he would be happy to accompany him.
“Huh, a law fragment? Not bad, good stuff, I didn’t expect you to have such good stuff. I, Gong Yang Yan, look after you ……” As he spoke, he had already put away the Law Fragment given by Di Jiu.
What Di Jiu didn’t expect was that not only did the Lone Stepping Man not fight with the other party, he also grabbed out something and threw it to Gong Yang Yan, which Di Jiu looked like a piece of bark from afar.
Gong Yang Yan was even more excited, this time without even saying anything, he put the bark away and laughed, “Both of you are very generous, good luck to both of you, hahaha ……”
Laughing loudly, he turned around and was about to leave, but Di Jiu hurriedly stopped Gongshang Yan, “Fellow Daoist Gongshang, I have just arrived here and have a few questions I would like to ask, I don’t know if it’s okay?”
“No.” Gong Yang Yan acted as if he didn’t know that he had just received a law fragment from Di Jiu.
Di Jiu’s voice turned cold, “Gongsang, you just took something from me and didn’t do anything, it’s not that easy to leave.”
As he spoke, Di Jiu’s domain aura was already locking onto the space where Rong Yang Yan was.
Gongshang Yan, who looked arrogant before, sensed that Di Jiu was really going to make a move, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Daoist friend, good talk, what do you want to ask?”
Even the corners of the mouth of the lone pacesetter on one side twitched as he watched, it looked like this Gong Yang Yan was a false frame.
“I see there are many people in here, why are you the only one stopping us? And how long has everyone been here?” Di Jiu asked with a smile.
Gongshang Yan gave another heave and leaked, “Because I’m the only one free, can’t you see that everyone is busy? As for how long it’s been? I’ve forgotten, I’m afraid it’s been a few million years?”
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts fell on the rest of the cultivators, although there were many caves here, none of them were forbidden and his divine thoughts could just sweep them. He soon found out that the cultivators here, whether they were inside the cave or outside, were all cultivating, and they were cultivating in a variety of ways. What Gongsang Yan said about everyone being busy was because everyone else was busy cultivating.
“Why aren’t you cultivating?” Di Jiu asked one more time.
Gong Yang Yan didn’t smile this time, his tone carried a kind of coldness, “Because I can’t cultivate anymore, and also, kid, you will soon find out that I am the kindest of all. Only half a column of incense at most, and these people will come together to find you. All right, you a law shard, I’ve told you too much. Get ready to take the stuff out and then find a place to stay for a few million years before you say anything.”
After saying this, Gong Yang Yan stopped paying attention to Di Jiu and turned around to quickly vanish away.
Di Jiu had some doubts in his heart as he walked towards the centre of the boulder. When he walked closer to the centre, he immediately just had a shock. It was possible to cultivate here, and it wasn’t just any cultivation.
“Fellow Daoist Di, there’s something odd about this boulder.” Lone Stepping Man also noticed the same thing, and he spoke in amazement.
Di Jiu didn’t reply, he tried to run a circumference, and then he felt the boundless aura of heaven and earth rules sweeping over, the next moment, he could even feel his cultivation level drifting up, an unprecedented aura of the Great Dao was quickly captured by Di Jiu. This gave Di Jiu a feeling that if he cultivated here for a long time, his cultivation could reach the level of Tongtian.
To have this feeling in just one Zhoutian, if he cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, how much more could it be?
The Lone Stepper found this situation just as he did, and he looked at the dozens of people still cultivating in the distance in horror, and finally understood in his heart why only Gongshang Yan had come to receive the two of them. With this kind of cultivation environment, who would waste their time elsewhere unless they were stupid?
“Fellow Daoist Di, you’ve found the right place this time, I plan to cultivate here for a while before I do.” Lone Stepman was so excited, if it wasn’t because Di Jiu had the Reincarnation Bridge, he wouldn’t even bother to talk nonsense to Di Jiu.
“Hahahahaha ……” Another loud laugh came out, followed by Di Jiu seeing the many cultivators who were cultivating not long ago, all leaping up in one go. Every one of them had a look of contentment and anticipation on their faces, and it was obvious that other than Gong Yang Yan, who Di Jiu had met earlier, the other cultivators were happy to be here.
“Ramsayan, are there two new chicks here?” A voice that sounded like a thunderbolt gang followed by a man who, at first glance, had an immortal style and was really a former senior.
Di Jiu tried to run through one circumference again, and the grand and voluptuous cultivation feeling just now disappeared. Combined with what Gongshang Yan had said before, Di Jiu vaguely guessed something, that there was a time limit for cultivation here.
“Ju Yan Zi, ask yourself if there is anything.” In the distance, Gongsang Yan’s voice came from afar.
“Kid, open the world for me to see what’s good.” The immortal Daoist-like Ju Yan Zi stopped Di Jiu, and at the same time, two other people stopped the Lone Stepping Man.
A woman’s sneering voice came from afar, “Ju Yan Zi you are going back the more you cultivate, this kid hasn’t even crossed the third step, where did he get the world?”
