Although she didn’t understand why Di Jiu had such a big face to stand in a position that she couldn’t even look up to, her heart still pounded up. She remembered what had happened to her, and perhaps she could ask Di Jiu for help.
When this thought first rose up, she still felt a little embarra*sed and ashamed. Then the thought of being able to travel to the Little Central World made this idea in her heart grow as wild as a weed.
She also understood why Di Jiu had suddenly disappeared in Pearl City, people were not concealment charms at all, but had actually become stronger than she could have ever imagined.
“Senior Illusionary Mingzi, Fellow Daoist Di, let me introduce to you, this is the Patriarch of the Desolate Cloud Valley of my eight-star sect in the Yaren Continent, Bai Jucheng. Dan Guild Master Ruan Shi, Weapon Guild Master, Tie Zheng He. The seven-star clan Xuanxia clan master, Luo Yi. Guang Mengxuan, Head of the Ice Jade Palace of the Seven Stars Sect. Patriarch of the Seven Star Clan Illusion Sea Sect, Xie An Guan ……”
With Hai Hong’s introduction, Di Jiu was sort of introduced to some of the top powerhouses of the Yaren Continent. Except for the Palace Master of the Ice Jade Palace, Guang Mengxuan, who was an extremely beautiful woman, the rest of the sect masters were all men. The Patriarch of the eight-star sect Desolate Cloud Valley, Bai Jiucheng, who had the highest cultivation level, was at the seventh level of the Robust Life realm. As for the True Transformation cultivators, he hadn’t seen any of them.
“Lord Hai, Senior Illusion, you’ve already introduced him. You haven’t introduced this fellow Daoist Di yet? So far I only know his surname is Di.” Guang Mengxuan covered her mouth and said with a laugh.
She was a woman, so she had to take some privilege when she spoke after all. So Di Jiu’s identity was not asked by the rest of the Patriarchs, she asked it first.
Hai Hong laughed, “What I want to tell everyone is that Daoist Dee Jiu is also out of my Yaren Continent, so this time he has come back to sort of grow face for our Yaren Continent in selecting geniuses.”
Hai Hong only knew Di Jiu’s name, and he only knew that Di Jiu was from the Aaren Continent. As for Di Jiu’s return to take revenge, he naturally couldn’t say it here. There was also the fact that he would not know where Di Jiu intended to go after he had taken his revenge.
“So Brother Jiu is also from our Aaren Continent, this is a great blessing, Brother Jiu is the pride of my Aaren Continent.” Hearing Hai Hong’s words, Guang Mengxuan immediately said in an exaggerated manner. Even though she knew that she was hundreds of years older than Di Jiu, she still spoke without any shame.
Di Jiu himself didn’t even know what the pride was in.
“Haha ……” Illusionary Mingzi laughed, “Little Friend Di is now a figure on the Dao Ranking of the Little Central World, and he is free to come and go from the Little Central World to any realm. In addition, little friend Di Jiu was originally from the Aaron Continent, so I will also leave the selection of the five talents to little friend Di Jiu this time ……”
Illusionary Mingzi knew that what these people aspired to the most was to travel to the Little Central World, so when he spoke, he simply picked out that Di Jiu was qualified to enter and leave the Little Central World at will.
As a matter of fact, when they heard Illusion Mingzi’s words, all of them looked at Di Jiu with envy, and some even regretted not knowing Di Jiu earlier like Hai Hong. As for Hai Hong, he even wanted to know urgently whether or not his matter had come to fruition.
No one knew that even if Di Jiu wanted to teleport from one realm to another, he would need a large amount of spirit stones. Each time ten million, Di Jiu could not afford to teleport several times.
……
“Senior sister Man, isn’t that the man Di Jiu that we saw in Pearl City before ……” said the grey clothed man standing next to Zhen Man in amazement.
After saying that he seemed to understand and then said, “I see, at that time our divine thoughts didn’t sweep him because he was too fast, that’s why we couldn’t. Senior sister, you encountered unfairness during the screening, didn’t you ……”
His words abruptly stopped as he noticed that Zhen Man had actually rushed onto the selection platform.
The man in grey touched the corner of his bitter mouth, although he knew what kind of personality Zhen Man was, he just couldn’t stop himself from liking Zhen Man, and right now Zhen Man obviously wouldn’t look at him in the eye anymore.
Zhen Man was only at the early stage of foundation building and was stopped before she could rush onto the selection stage, she could only call out urgently, “Ah Jiu, I am Zhen Man, they have disqualified me from going to the Little Central World ……”
Hearing Yan Man’s words, the faces of the few heads standing at the edge of the selection platform changed drastically. To them, powerful people from the Little Central World were absolutely not to be offended. For Zhen Man to do so was simply dropping a bomb. In case they said that their selection was unfair and deprived of this opportunity in the future that would be the end of it.
Even the patriarch of Yan Man’s clan, the Twin Tao Sect, was shocked. This would be a disaster for the Shuangtao Clan if it angered the powerful people on stage. If because of Yan Man, the Aaron Continent lost the opportunity to select geniuses to enter the Little Central World, the Twin Tao Sect would be finished.
Di Jiu’s gaze fell on Zhen Man who was stopped, he saw the expectation and eagerness in Zhen Man’s eyes and said with a sigh, “Let her come up.”
When Di Jiu had spoken, the cultivator who had stopped Zhen Man naturally did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly gave way to the side.
“Ah Jiu, the spot for this selection to go to the Little Central World was originally mine, but then I was replaced.” As soon as Zhen Man came up, she eagerly explained to Di Jiu.
At this moment, all shame and shyness, all dignity had been thrown aside. As long as she could go to the Little Central World to cultivate, what else would she care about?
It wasn’t that she was realistic, but because this was a realistic world in the first place. After walking out of Pearl City, she had received too much worship and deference. This made her want more, to stand above more people and become a true human being.
Di Jiu secretly sighed in his heart, but his thoughts drifted to a distant place, remembering the year when he was young and in his prime ……
“Senior Di, my humble self is the patriarch of the Shuangtao Clan, Hui Baiyu. There is a reason why the Shuangtao Clan chose Yu Yongzhen and not Zhen Man ……” a middle-aged man with long hair knotted into a cultivator’s bun eagerly said aloud while bowing at the bottom of the selection stage.
He was anxious in his heart, where would he have thought that Zhen Man and the envoy from the small central world knew each other? If he had known this, he would have rather let Yan Man, who was slightly less qualified, on the stage than Yu Yongzhen.
His Shuangtao Clan was only a five-star clan, and the only reason why it had a place this time was because last time he had given up a place that would definitely allow him to enter the Little Central World to the eight-star clan Desolate Cloud Valley. Last time, his Shuangtao Clan had really produced a top genius, which was a purely different spiritual root. Only after that genius was deprived of a place, he left the Shuangtao Clan and disappeared.
It was precisely because of this that the Desolate Cloud Valley agreed to give the Shuangtao Clan a place in the selection this time. This place was only to be in the big list of twenty people, not the final five places.
Di Jiu raised his hand to stop his words, “These are not important, Zhen Man, you can also stand inside the team.”
There were already twenty selected geniuses standing on the stage, and only five of these geniuses would have the chance to be selected by Di Jiu and sent to the Little Central World.
Seeing that Yan Man knew Di Jiu, and that Di Jiu had asked Yan Man to stand in the queue as well. Yu Yongzhen, who was in the group, was a bit nervous, as his qualifications were only slightly better than Zhen Man’s. If Yan Man was standing here, then the next step would definitely be for him to go down, but he was really reluctant.
“Well ……” Yan Man was so excited that her hands were squeezed tightly as she gave a hmmm and walked towards the line.
It was only after she walked to the line that she felt something was wrong coming. Di Jiu did do her a favor, but it didn’t make Yu Yongzhen come out, either. And …… she always felt that something was not right. It’s as if anyone else came to cry foul, and Di Jiu would have let the other side come up. And also Di Jiu said these are not important, that is clearly did not care if she was aggrieved.
In fact, Zhen Man’s guess is not entirely correct, if another person came up to cry out for injustice, Di Jiu would indeed ask about the situation. But this woman, Zhen Man, Di Jiu also kind of understood.
Even though he was a teenager at first, how Zhen Man chose was her freedom, and this could also show what kind of person Zhen Man was. There was nothing wrong with people going to higher places and water flowing to lower places, so Di Jiu had no intention of blaming Zhen Man. But it was clear that Zhen Man and he were not on the same page. His heart had been released and the past had disappeared like clouds of smoke. The only reason he let Yan Man into the group was because he was also from Pearl City and had known her before, that was all.
“Little friend Di Jiu, you can start choosing people. All twenty-one geniuses are here, choose five to come out, I need to get out of here as soon as possible.” Illusionary Mingzi waited for Di Jiu to greet the many sect masters and guild masters before saying with some impatience.
He indeed did not want to stay in this place, don’t look at his current life expectancy of hundreds of years, to a cultivator, hundreds of years are just gone in a flash.
Di Jiu, however, did not go to choose someone, but looked at Illusionary Mingzi and said with a heated smile, “Senior Illusionary Mingzi, do the remaining few starlands in the five continents need to choose geniuses to go to the Little Central Star, apart from the Little Central Star?”
Illusory Mingzi nodded, “Except for the Sheyan continent, the remaining several star lands have them all. The cultivation level of the Changtian Continent would not have been much weaker than that of the Little Central World, and the number of genius cultivators chosen each time would only be in the region of forty to fifty. It was the Dan Yue Continent, on the contrary, that used up all of its one hundred spots every time.”
“So my Aaron Continent also has a hundred spots?” That was what Di Jiu was asking.
Illusionary Mingzi knew what Di Jiu meant and said after a slight moment of contemplation, “Obviously not this time, I understand what you mean. Since you were able to enter the Sea Ranking, there is a place for you in the Aaronic Continent. I’ll bring all twenty-one of them over this time, and when the next Five Continents Dao Meeting comes around, you can go and fight for a place for the Arun Continent yourself.”
“Thank you so much senior.” Di Jiu thought to himself that indeed, if he didn’t take the initiative before this kind of thing, Illusionary Mingzi definitely wouldn’t have said it.
“All twenty-one of these people can go to the Little Central World?” Not only was Hai Hong stunned, the rest of the sect’s Patriarchs and Guild Masters were all stunned.
All of them were thinking that Di Jiu had made the number of people more than four times larger with just one sentence, and that was the difference between having someone and not having someone.
They were not aware that if Mirage Mingzi had not come this time, Di Jiu would still not have been able to say anything. It was that they could make the number of people in the Aaron Continent increase, and that would be a matter for the next time.
“Fellow Daoist Di, I thank you on behalf of all the cultivators in the Arun Continent. Earlier I was a little skeptical of the words of the Ohio Council Master, but now is when I sort of really understand.” Eight-star sect Desolate Cloud Valley Bai Jiucheng bowed in gratitude, and following Bai Jiucheng, the rest of the people also bowed in gratitude.
The reason why the Aaron Continent had been without status was because there was no one to speak up in the Little Central World. Now that more geniuses had gone to the Little Central World, a few strong people would eventually come out to back up the Arun Continent in the future.
“Club Master Hai, you will also go to the Little Central World with Senior Illusionary Mingzi later.” Di Jiu patted Hai Hong who thanked him together.
Hai Hong’s eyes widened, and then he grabbed Di Jiu excitedly, “There really is me, thank you, thank you brother Di!”
