“Then do you know if there is someone else around Nong Xiuqi?” Di Jiu looked at Zhuo Wujia eagerly.
He was eager to know if the two of them, Di Wangdong and Di Qiushui, had also followed Nong Xiuqi to the Weimu Immortal Land.
Once Zhuo Wujia took a look at Di Jiu’s expression, he knew that Senior Nong Xiuqi and Di Jiu should not have a shallow relationship. However, he really didn’t know these things and could only shake his head apologetically and said, “I don’t know, I was so focused on cultivating that it was really because Senior Nong’s qualifications were too heavenly that I heard some news.”
Di Jiu sighed, he understood what Zhuo Wujia meant. There was no need to ask, Zhuo Wujia was also a supreme genius. This kind of genius, apart from Nong Xiuqi who would make him pay attention to him for a moment or two, I’m afraid that other people wouldn’t be able to attract half of his attention.
“Let’s go to the wormhole first, I don’t know what kind of place it is.” Di Jiu didn’t ask any more questions.
The jade slip Di Jiu had checked long ago, it only briefly described that one could accumulate contributions in the wormhole, and when the contributions were enough, one could leave the wormhole. As for what kind of place the wormhole was and how long it took to accumulate enough contributions, the jade slip did not say anything.
In front of the Ascension Hall, there was only a straight narrow path made of black stone, and in front of the path were all prohibitions that isolated divine thoughts, so there was no way to know where the path led to, except for the places that one’s eyes touched.
Although Di Jiu could try to use his divine thoughts to outline the law formation flags to forcefully tear it open, he did not dare to just wander around here.
The two of them had walked for about five or six miles when the road bifurcated ahead of them, one was extremely spacious and straight, stretching all the way to the very far end.
The other was even narrower than the one they had just come from, and looked a little rugged as well.
At the fork in the path were two stone monuments, the one leading to the spacious and straight one had three words written on it, Leaping Dao Gate. And the stone tablet on the other narrow pa*sage reads, Wormhole.
“We should be going to this pathway.” Zhuo Wujia, who was following behind Di Jiu, spoke in a somewhat low tone, although he was talking, in fact his gaze was already looking towards the avenue leading to the Leaping Dao Gate, his heart all puzzled.
Di Jiu didn’t move, the avenue leading to the Leaping Dao Gate was unblocked, but there were divine thought prohibitions everywhere in front of him.
However, he did not dare to look through the means of the divine thought law, but he could look through his Dao pupils.
When his Dao pupils opened, Di Jiu immediately saw two powerful cultivators standing behind the prohibitions. He could be sure that as long as he and Zhuo Wujia dared to go down this road towards the Leaping Dao Gate, they would probably not end up too well.
At the end of this path, Di Jiu saw a huge arch-shaped door with two big words with Dao rhymes flowing above it, Leaping Dao.
What was behind the archway door, Di Jiu’s Dao pupil level was too low, so he couldn’t see it clearly as well.
“Let’s go.” Without any hesitation, Di Jiu walked towards the pathway of the wormhole.
Zhuo Wujia was a bit puzzled, but he still followed without hesitation. He thought that Di Jiu would go to the Leaping Dao Gate path to take a look, and then turn back if it really didn’t work, but he didn’t expect that Di Jiu would directly go to the wormhole path.
Seeing that Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were heading towards the wormhole path, the two cultivators standing behind the Leaping Dao Gate path were somewhat puzzled. Many cultivators who had just ascended would go to this path of the Leaping Dao Gate when they came here, and would only turn back to the wormhole after they had suffered a big loss.
……
The road to the wormhole was long, and Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were not too fast or too slow, but they walked for almost an hour before they saw the messy and hierarchical market.
I say this market was chaotic because the houses in this market were one to the east and one to the west, good and bad, completely unplanned and in disarray.
It is said that the market is clearly layered because this large and disorganised market is divided into four large blocks, one for each of the four blocks in the southeast and northwest.
Each of the four blocks in the south-east and north-west was in a messy state, and in the middle of the four messy blocks was a straight cross avenue, and this cross avenue clearly divided the place into four blocks.
As soon as Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia walked into the market, more than ten people immediately swarmed up.
If he hadn’t seen that these people didn’t have a murderous aura on them, Di Jiu would have sacrificed his Heavenly Shaft Sword.
“Two friends just arrived, right, why don’t you join our Inquirer Hall, my Inquirer Hall is the most famous in Wormhole East, even if you are newcomers, as long as you arrive at my Inquirer Hall, the Wormhole contribution you get will not be low ……” The one who spoke was an extremely tall young man.
“Haha, Wang Qi, you can only fool newcomers. Two newbie friends, don’t believe Wang Evil’s words, I suggest you join our West Harmony Society, although our contribution points are not evenly distributed either, they are definitely strictly based on individual contributions and will not bully newcomers. This, I, Late Cheng, guarantee with my reputation.” A man with a full beard interrupted the young man and took the initiative to invite Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia.
“I am Meng Yiou from the South District, and my residence in the South District is the most spacious ……”
Almost every one of them were extending invitations to Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, all with a polite attitude.
Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were completely bewildered and didn’t understand anything. Watching the crowd’s words grow, Di Jiu had to take the initiative to clasp his fist and say, “Fellow Daoists ……”
Seeing Di Jiu’s appearance, the rest of the people were briefly quiet. Seeing this, Di Jiu hurriedly said, “Thank you all for your love, we two are not new here, we just came down from above, mainly to investigate the situation of the wormhole, you all should go do what you need to do, when I ask, everyone can just say it straight.”
No one could have expected Di Jiu, a newcomer, to dare to speak under the pretence of someone coming down from above, and they all immediately became disappointed. However, no one dared to be rude to Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia either, and they all clasped their fists and left.
“Brother Zimo, why did you lie to them? I see this situation, sooner or later we all have to join a power, huh?” Zhuo Wujia was not a fool, although he did not know how far away this place was from the wormhole, but hugging a group here was a must.
Di Jiu smiled heatedly and pointed to a huge formation screen in the distance and said, “Look, that’s the contribution score. There are tens of thousands of names on that formation screen, and it’s clear how many contribution points each person has here. We are two newcomers, why should these old guys invite us with such enthusiasm?
“Why?” Zhuo Wujia subconsciously asked, and knew something was wrong after asking.
Di Jiu nodded, “Yeah, why? No matter why, we definitely can’t join one of the forces before we figure out the situation.”
“I’ll do as you say.” Zhuo Wujia had already sensed that Di Jiu should be different from him, his qualifications were indeed heaven defying and he was also a famous Immortal Emperor in the Weimu Immortal Land, but because he had spent years in seclusion and cultivation, he could not see many places as thoroughly as Di Jiu.
“There’s no need to rush, let’s go to the Northern District together.” Di Jiu finished speaking and walked towards the location where the North District was located.
Just now, people came to invite them from all three districts in the southeast and west, but it was the North District where no one came to invite them.
The North District was even more messy than the remaining three districts, and Di Jiu stopped an old man who was sprinting with his head down.
The old man looked up at Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia in confusion, “Why are you stopping me?”
Di Jiu took out a ring and handed it to the old man and said, “This is a small gift, I would like to ask my friend a few questions.”
His law ban had long opened the old man’s ring and found that the old man was very poor, the rings didn’t even add up to 10,000 upper grade immortal crystals inside. An Immortal Emperor didn’t even have 10,000 upper grade immortal crystals, this wasn’t poor, it was terribly poor.
Di Jiu simply took out 50,000 upper grade immortal crystals, this upper grade immortal crystal basically didn’t have much value to Di Jiu.
“The old man’s divine thoughts touched the immortal crystals in the ring and immediately his spirit lifted, then his hand rolled and the ring disappeared. Instead, he looked at Di Jiu in high spirits and said, “What do you want to ask, fellow Daoist, I will definitely tell you everything.”
Di Jiu clasped his fist, “My friend and I have just come to this place, why did many people come to pull us to join them as soon as we arrived here? And all are very polite.”
The old man’s gaze looked around and after finding no one, he sneered and said, “Very polite, hehe, you will find out when you join them. When it’s your turn to guard the wormhole, you’ll be the existence of cannon fodder. Newcomers here are supposed to be short-lived ghosts, helping to fill people’s lives.”
Sensing that Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were new, the old man spoke without so much taboo.
So that was the case, Di Jiu asked again, “May I ask where the wormhole is? When is it a turn to man the wormhole?”
