Di Jiu’s heart was also extremely relieved. After knowing that the fourth step existed, he had been a little uncertain and worried. This was because the higher his cultivation level was, the clearer he knew how terrifying the Fourth Step was. And he had no chance of crossing over to the fourth step, while also knowing that he was no match for the fourth step at all.
Even though he had been preparing for his battle with Chi Xie and had contacted many like-minded friends, it was still just a psychological comfort. It was only today that Di Jiu had a little bit of confidence to deal with the fourth step, at least he got a glimpse of the secret of the Red Youngest Avenue.
……
When Di Jiu and Ning Cheng arrived at the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, the Daoist Monarch of Destiny, Yan Ji, Nong Xiuqi and the others had been waiting for them for a long time.
Seeing that Nong Xiuqi was already at the early stage of the Mixed Element Realm, Di Jiu was overjoyed. It was feared that it would be some time before Xiuqi would cross over to the Mixed Element Realm if she was with him. But now Nong Xiuqi had not only crossed into the Mixed Yuan Realm, she had even stabilised at the early stage of the Mixed Yuan Realm.
It seemed that apart from qualifications, cultivation resources were really important for cultivators. The cultivation resources he had left for Xiuqi, those were all top-notch Dao fruits and Dao pills, and even some top-notch divine spirit veins. All these things were used by cultivators only when they crossed into the third step, and Xiuqi used them to prove her mixed origin, so it was natural for her to be able to do so.
However, Di Jiu was now unable to talk to Nong Xiuqi, he saw someone he didn’t really know very well, Little King Li Tu. Among the top ten geniuses in the Dao world, Little King Li Tu was extremely famous and was ranked third.
Zhong You, one of those top ten geniuses, had been killed by him, and Jiang Dai had been hunted down by him and was nowhere to be found. His friend Seed Ao had not seen him since they separated. I did not expect to see Little King Li Tu here today. He and Li Tu Xiao Wang were generally close, and now that Li Tu Xiao Wang had appeared here, there must be something important to tell him.
It was all whispers with Xiuqi, Di Jiu and Nong Xiuqi exchanged glances, nodded then looked at Little King Little King Li Tu and asked, “Fellow Daoist Li Tu, it’s been a long time, congratulations on the growth of your cultivation.”
The progress of Little King Li Tu was indeed not small, he was already at the late stage of Hedao.
Little King Little King Lai Tu bowed to Di Jiu, “Thank you senior Di for your contribution to the Dao Realm, the Dao Realm Heaven and Earth rules are now extremely suitable for cultivation, not only me, but all the people in the Dao Realm are progressing by leaps and bounds.”
Although in terms of age, Little King Li Tu was not sure how many rounds older than Di Jiu, the Cultivation Universe was a place where the strongest were the most respected. Back then, Little King Li Tu had seen with his own eyes how powerful Di Jiu was, and after so many years, Di Jiu was undoubtedly even more powerful, so he did not hesitate to address Di Jiu as senior.
Not only had he witnessed how powerful Di Jiu was, he had seen the same back then when Di Jiu was still a minor figure. At that time, Di Jiu was still a Dao-shaping mole and had participated in a dan condensation competition. But at that time, Di Jiu was a hundred thousand miles away from him, so how could he be qualified to speak to him.
People, even if they are small people who look up to you today, in the future you do not know how far the other party can grow.
This has even made Little King Li Tu understand the truth that you should always keep a friendly face to anyone at all times. Because you can’t see the future, if someone is not as good as you in the future, this friendliness you have today will not be missing anything in the future. In the future, if others are far stronger than you, you may plant an opportunity because of a friendliness you have today.
Di Jiu nodded, “Not bad, to be able to come from the Dao Realm to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, you are already far better than the average Dao Realm cultivator.”
Little King Li Tu, however, said slightly anxiously, “Senior Di, I’ve just come to report a message for Seed Ao.”
“You have news of Brother Seed Ao?” Di Jiu asked in surprise.
Little King Li Tu nodded, “After I left the Dao Realm, by chance, I entered the Chaos Realm ……”
Although nodding his head Li Tu Xiao Wang’s heart was bitter, he and Seed Ao were cultivators of the same generation, even he was ranked third in the top ten worlds back then, while Seed Ao was only ranked fifth. Di Jiu addressed Seed Ao as big brother, while he had to call Di Jiu senior.
Di Jiu was well aware of the Chaos Realm, and many people had advised him to go to the Chaos Realm to merge with the Dao, or even to prove the third step of the Dao. Luckily, he was fortunate that he did not go to the Chaos Realm to merge with the Dao or go to the third step of the Dao of Evidence, otherwise, he would have to cut the Dao of Nirvana again to re-enter the third step.
The Chaos Realm Third Step of Dao Certification was indeed powerful in the Five Elemental Universe, but once you left the Five Elemental Universe, especially after entering the Creation Universe, you would feel overwhelmed. At the same realm, you are just a step below others. This was something that both Ye Mo and Ning Cheng had already tried.
“I was in the Chaos Realm with the intention of looking for an opportunity to prove the third step, but one day I ran into the king of the Chaos Realm ……”
Di Jiu interrupted Little King Li Tu’s words and asked in confusion, “The king of the Chaos Realm? It’s not the first time I’ve heard of the Chaos Realm, how is it the first time I know there’s a king in the Chaos Realm? Could it be that it’s not a deserted place, but has turned into a cultivation city?”
Little King Li Tu shook his head, “No, to put it mildly, I have some relations with the king of the Chaos Realm, as he also came out of the Dao Realm.”
Di Jiu laughed, “Little King Laitu, I still know some of who the Chaos Realm is. You said that someone who came out of the Dao Realm can claim the title of king in the Chaos Realm, huh, I really don’t quite believe it.”
Di Jiu indeed didn’t believe it, the Dao Realm was even better now than before, before the rules of the Dao Realm were incomplete, there weren’t even Dao Harmony cultivators, some of them still came from the outside world. If there was someone in the Dao Realm who could claim to be king in the Chaos Realm, he naturally did not believe it.
Not to mention others, as far as he knew, Void-breaking Dao Monarchs were hanging around in the Chaos Realm. And many guys who were similar to the Broken Void Daoist Monarch were in the Chaos Realm, not to mention the fact that he had broken the inner boundary of the Five Elements Universe, and there could only be more powerful people going to the Chaos Realm now.
In a world where there were so many strong people, what made a Dao Realm practitioner capable of claiming to be king in the Chaos Realm?
Little King Li Tu said with a sigh, “Senior Di ……”
Di Jiu waved his hand, “You and big brother Seed Ao are of the same generation, and I and Seed Ao call each other brothers, you can just call me Di Jiu, calling me senior is really not something I dare to do.”
“Yes, thanks a lot Daoist friend Di.” Little King Li Tu hastily clasped his fist to thank him, what strength Di Jiu was, he had long been aware of it in the Dao Realm.
After thanking him, Little King Li Tu continued, “The person who claimed the title of king in the Chaos Realm Dao friend should also have heard of him, his name is Di Xin Ren, he was a genius of the same generation as us. I am ashamed to say that there were two grades of the top ten geniuses back then, the first grade was Di Xin Ren, and the second grade was only for the rest.”
“Di Xin Ren?” Di Jiu immediately remembered, this person was ranked first among the Ten Great Geniuses back then, and this was not the first time Di Jiu had heard of this person’s name. Void White Shang, who was ranked fourth among the ten geniuses, had even made a point of explaining Di Xin Ren in front of him, saying how powerful this person was.
At that time, he was only about the same strength as Jiang Dai. According to Void White Shang’s words, if Jiang Dai faced Di Xin Ren, he was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to block a slap. It really didn’t occur to me that this Di Xin Ren had gone to the Chaos Realm and was even claiming to be the king in the Chaos Realm.
Di Jiu quickly came back to his senses, “Fellow Daoist Li Tu, what does this have to do with Seed Ao? Besides, Seed Ao and Di Xin Ren should both be among the top ten geniuses and should have a share of the incense. You’re not saying that Di Xin Ren wants to deal with Seed Ao, are you?”
Little King Li Tu sighed and said, “That’s exactly what happened, Daoist Brother Seed Ao brought a cultivator named Geng Ji, and a beast pet named Black Fire and a beast pet named Shu Di to look for opportunities in the Chaos Realm ……”
Di Jiu said with surprise, “You said that the Geng halberd brothers arrived in the chaos realm? Black Flame and Tree Brother have also arrived in the Chaos Realm?”
No wonder he hadn’t been able to sense Black Flame and Tree Brother, these two guys had actually both gone to the Chaos Realm.
Little King Li Tu nodded, “Yes, it’s just that they are now imprisoned by King Di Xin Ren of the Chaos Realm and are being tortured greatly.”
Di Jiu’s face sank and his tone turned cold, “Di Xin Ren has such guts? I have nothing to do with him, so why should he treat my friend like this?”
Little King Li Tu knew that there was going to be a big mess in the Chaos Realm, but he said without half hiding, “It’s because of Jiang Dai, this person was ranked among the top ten geniuses with us back then, and back then he was ranked sixth. I am ashamed to say that Jiang Dai is now much stronger than me. Immediately after Jiang Dai met Di Xin Ren in the Chaos Realm, he told Di Xin Ren all about your past.”
Di Jiu laughed coldly, “I, Di Jiu, have not done anything wrong to the Dao Realm, and to tell the truth, without me, Di Jiu, I am afraid that the Dao Realm would have been reduced to a world of worms long ago.”
“But Jiang Dai said otherwise, he said that you killed Zhong You and took away Zhong You’s Jiangshan pot. He also said that you finished off both Phantom Moon Shirt and Void White Shang, and that you stole his Jiang Dai’s things and were still hunting him. If Di Xin Ren hadn’t left the Dao Realm long ago, I’m afraid he would have been chased by you too ……,” said Little King Li Tu.
