When Di Jiu came out of the lake, Zhuo Wujia was already waiting by the lake, he wasn’t surprised that Di Jiu entered the lake, he just asked, “Brother Zimmer, is it possible to cultivate here?”
Di Jiu nodded, “Feel free to cultivate, there is no problem.”
“Good.” Zhuo Wujia clasped his fist to Di Jiu and didn’t ask anything, turning around and entering the cave, obviously trusting Di Jiu extremely, while he himself was preparing to close down and cultivate.
While Zhuo Wujia could cultivate, Di Jiu could not. After he cultivated for a few days, he felt that it was useless to cultivate any further, so he simply started to refine weapons.
Di Jiu cultivated the rule dao and was now fully refining weapons, so in just a short month or so, he was able to refine extremely high quality immortal weapons.
Seeing that Zhuo Wujia was still in seclusion, and Shen Changshui had not given a message asking them to guard the wormhole. Di Jiu simply went to the shop where he had purchased the jade slip before once again.
When the shop owner saw Di Jiu coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, “What else do you want, friend?”
Di Jiu said, “The two jade slips I bought from you last time are of great use to me, now I want to ask if there are any jade slips for the list of cultivators who have entered the Leaping Dao Sect?”
“I only have those within a thousand years here, I don’t have any for some time further back.” The shopkeeper had taken out a jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu as he spoke, “This is only five hundred immortal crystals.”
“Okay, give me one.” For Di Jiu, not to mention a thousand years, just a list of one or two hundred years would be enough, he was mainly looking for Xiu Qi.
With tens of thousands of names in a thousand years, Di Jiu quickly scanned through them and there was no Nong Xiuqi, which made Di Jiu a little worried. If Nong Xiuqi had ascended here and didn’t go to the Leaping Dao Gate, then there was only one possibility, to have fallen in the wormhole.
This was because if Nong Xiuqi was alive, he would be able to sense it as soon as he arrived here.
Di Jiu did not draw Nong Xiuqi’s portrait to ask this shopkeeper, he was not familiar with this shopkeeper yet, if he drew Nong Xiuqi’s portrait, he would probably be harming Xiuqi.
Just when Di Jiu was thinking about when he could visit the wormhole, the identity jade tablet he hung on his waist lit up.
The writing on the identity jade tablet was clear, immediately go to the Northern District to gather and prepare to go to the wormhole.
“Good luck.” The shopkeeper also saw the handwriting on Di Jiu’s identity tag and said with a smile.
In fact, in his opinion, the chances of an arrogant newcomer like Di Jiu surviving were very slim.
“Thanks.” Di Jiu returned a sentence before turning around and walking out of the shop.
……
By the time Di Jiu arrived at the gathering place in the northern district, thousands of people had already gathered here. Zhuo Wujia, who was in seclusion, had also come and he was standing at the far corner.
Di Jiu walked up to Zhuo Wujia’s side, and he had already noticed that the place was indeed full of factions. There were around a thousand people, basically tens or hundreds of people in one force, clearly separated. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were only two people standing in one corner, clearly splitting off from the many cultivators.
Shen Changshui did not come over, and standing in front of the group was a middle-aged woman whose gaze swept past the crowd before landing on Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia.
But it was only for an instant before her gaze shifted away again, then said unhurriedly, ”Many of you know me, Mu Jie, and I am leading the team to the wormhole this time. We will be guarding the wormhole for eleven days, guarding the wormhole is not new to anyone, the most important thing is that we do our best to a*sist each other and try to achieve the least casualties and set off.”
“May I ask, if you want to keep guarding the wormhole for a month, what do you have to do?” Di Jiu didn’t want to always come and go, he wanted to guard for a month at once and stay for the rest of the time to do his own thing all together.
Hearing Di Jiu’s words, a kind of sneer appeared in the eyes of the many cultivators. Obviously, they all thought that Di Jiu was a newcomer who did not know the sky was the limit.
Not to mention guarding the wormhole for a month continuously, even if he could hold out for ten days, it was already remarkable.
Wormhole guarding not only consumed a large amount of immortal energy, but also defiled the meridians and the sea of consciousness. Therefore, after guarding for ten days, one must take several months to recuperate. This is one of the reasons why it is very difficult for a cultivator in a wormhole to raise his cultivation level.
The number of deaths of cultivators guarding the wormhole was around one in ten each time, but after leaving the wormhole, one in ten cultivators ended up falling in the dwelling because they were unable to completely get rid of the worm poison and defilement in time.
Mu Jie’s gaze fell on Di Jiu once again and said in a flat tone, “It’s not impossible for you to guard for a month continuously if you want to, you can go to the team leader and apply for it when you survive this time. Alright, let’s go and enter the wormhole area.”
Mu Jie was very crisp and led the way first directly after she finished speaking. She didn’t explain in too much detail because she was sure that it wouldn’t be easy for Di Jiu if he could survive this wormhole guarding, not to mention guarding it for a month straight. When Di Jiu survived, he would not talk like this anymore.
The journey from the Northern District Square to the wormhole was not far nor close, and after an incense stick, Mu Jie had already brought a thousand people to the entrance of a protective formation. This defensive formation had been swept by Di Jiu’s divine thoughts before, and because of the high level of the formation, his divine thoughts could not penetrate it.
At this moment, Mu Jie came here, took out his identity jade tag and scratched the outside of the protective formation, which opened directly. The first thing Di Jiu saw wasn’t a wormhole, but a shop, and in front of the shop was written, “Contribution points accumulation office.”
Di Jiu knew very well what this was all about, all the cultivators guarding the wormhole, as long as they killed the bugs, if they wanted to count their contribution points, they had to hand over the complete bugs here. According to the type and size of the bug, the contribution points you get will be calculated.
Of course if you don’t want to hand in the bugs you have killed, it doesn’t matter, you just don’t have the contribution points. You know which of the cultivators who come here are willing to kill bugs here all year round? It was estimated that every cultivator was desperate to accumulate enough contribution points as soon as possible and then enter the Leaping Dao Gate.
Although every cultivator is desperate to accumulate enough contribution points, it is also necessary to leave some bugs behind. To survive here, bugs were the only source of cultivation resources. Without bugs, one could not exchange them for cultivation resources, and relying on Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi alone was not enough.
After pa*sing this shop where contribution points were accumulated, and after walking a few more miles, there was another protective formation. This time, there was no need for Mu Jie to use his identity jade token to cross it, as soon as they walked here, the protective formation opened of its own accord.
A fishy smell hit them, and what Di Jiu saw was thousands of cultivators fighting with large groups of flowery green bugs. Each of these bugs had a minimum cultivation level of a ninth level immortal demon beast, and even surpa*sed it.
A faint poisonous mist hovered in space, and Di Jiu felt some dizziness when he felt this faint poisonous mist. However, once his Rule Circumference worked, he quickly found the law aura of this poisonous fog, which contained various laws, which was still not a problem for Di Jiu.
Having found the law breath, under the operation of the Rule Circumference, all these poisonous fogs were turned into Yuan Qi to fill up the cultivation.
More cultivators had already swallowed an antidote pill, and Zhuo Wujia swallowed one as well. When he saw that Di Jiu did not use the antidote pill, he subconsciously glanced at Di Jiu, who waved his hand without waiting for him to speak, meaning that he did not need the antidote pill.
Mu Jie did not lead his men up to fight, but just waited on the side.
After a full half hour, all of these bugs retreated into the wormhole, except for some of them being killed.
Each of those cultivators who had just fought looked exhausted and had a sense of exhilaration that they were about to leave this place.
Di Jiu counted, there were at most 900 people here, according to each time they came was more than a thousand people, that means this batch of people died about a hundred, plus some poisoned and dao foundation damaged cultivators fallen in their own residence …….
The simple calculation of Di Jiu shows that six to seven hundred cultivators die every month in the entire Wormhole Square city. With so many cultivators dying, it was definitely impossible for the ascension pool to have so many cultivators to replenish. And since the Wormhole Square City area could stay at over 10,000 year-round, there must be a source of cultivators to replenish them.
“It’s your turn.” After killing back the insects, one of the youths at the head left a message to Mu Jie and quickly retreated with over nine hundred scarred cultivators.
Only then did Di Jiu get a clear look at where the edge of these two realms was, and it was actually not too much to say that it was a cave entrance. It was because what was in front of Di Jiu was indeed a huge cave.
This large hole was at least five hundred feet wide, and when the divine thoughts swept in, it was immediately swallowed up.
