“What’s up friend?” Seeing Di Jiu stop himself, this Senior Brother Le, who was ready to leave, immediately stared at Di Jiu warily.
Di Jiu clasped his fist and said politely, “May I repeat what you said just now, fellow Daoist? Oh, please don’t misunderstand, fellow Daoist, I feel that there seems to be some …… er …… misunderstanding in those words, right?”
Di Jiu also knew that he had overstepped the mark, he and these two people did not know each other, and actually asked the other party to repeat what he had just said.
This senior brother Le swept Di Jiu once again, he found that he could not see through Di Jiu’s cultivation, then he forced down his inner unpleasantness and said, “A year ago, this Huang Li Ai had not yet condensed his dao seed, senior sister He and I did not mind his low cultivation and took the initiative to take him to the Wild Wind Valley to try out. As a result, when he came back with a very good Dao seed, he instead went around saying that he was completely on his own and even helped me and Senior Sister He a lot. Saying something about how his Dao was much stronger than ours, so how could he rely on us to condense the Dao seeds? We are going to go to another place this time, and we can’t afford to bring someone like him with us.”
Di Jiu’s eyes lit up as if a bright light had opened up in his heart, the fog in front of him was suddenly stripped away, and then he subconsciously said, “He’s right ……”
Hearing that Di Jiu actually helped Huang Li’ai speak and said that Huang Li’ai was right, this senior brother Le’s face sank as he hummed and said to the female cultivator beside him, “Senior sister He, let’s go.”
The two of them quickly left the entrance of this shop, it was obvious that he thought that Di Jiu and Huang Li’ai were in cahoots.
Di Jiu’s heart was however wildly happy, he finally understood his path.
He was at least a creator of the Dao of Rules, but he had no sense to listen to other people’s discussions on gathering the Dao seeds to shape the Dao.
Just as this Huang Li’ai had said, did he need to use other people’s Daoist thoughts to condense the Dao seeds for his Dao of Rules? Even if he did, would this Dao seed be his Dao seed of the Rule Dao or a branch of the Dao seed of that great hybrid of the Diffractive Path Sect?
He was just in this mountain, not knowing that he was carrying great wealth, but instead begging others for a few coins, which was putting the cart before the horse.
At the moment, what he needed was not to go listen to the Mixed Origin Saint Emperor’s discourse, but to find a place to try out on his own, and then condense his own Rule Dao Dao seeds and shape the Rule Dao.
“Friend, you also think I’m right don’t you? They are really ……” Huang Li’ai said immediately when he heard Di Jiu agree with his words, with indignation in his tone.
Di Jiu coldly glanced at Huang Liai, “Get lost, it’s a waste of my time to say one more word to trash like you.”
“You ……” Huang Liai didn’t expect Di Jiu to tell him to get lost, and immediately his anger flared up.
Di Jiu’s murderous intent swept over, Huang Liai instantly felt a cold intent, he no longer dared to have half a word of nonsense, he just said one word and turned around with his head lowered and quickly left. Even the matter of pestering Senior Brother Le and Senior Sister He was put aside.
Di Jiu understood clearly from Huang Liai’s words that the direction of his own dao could not be achieved by relying on listening to others’ arguments. However, he looked down on such a white-eyed wolf as Huang Liai.
It was obvious that Huang Li’ai had been able to gather the Dao seeds because of the help and guidance of Senior Brother Le and Senior Sister He. It was enough that this guy did not appreciate it, but he even went around saying that Senior Brother Le and Sister He had not helped him at all, but that he had helped Senior Brother Le and Sister He instead. It would be strange if Di Jiu could look up to such a person.
“Friend, I would like to ask, where is the greatest change in the rules of heaven and earth in the trial place here?” Di Jiu went back to the counter again and asked the fellow.
He cultivated the Dao of Rules and wanted to shape his Dao, so it was best to find a place where the rules of heaven and earth changed unpredictably to try it out.
The fellow smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist must have just come here, right? If you are based around here, you must know that the place where the rules of heaven and earth change the most in the entire Dao Realm is the Vast Expanse Ruins, which is full of five elemental beasts and where the rules of heaven and earth change unpredictably. But if you want to go to the Great Vast Market, it’s not an easy task.”
“Why?” Di Jiu asked in confusion.
The mate explained, “The Vast Expanse Ruins are extremely dangerous, and many of the cultivators who went in for the trial ended up becoming the Five Element Beasts in the Vast Expanse Ruins because they were affected by the changing rules of heaven and earth, completely losing their spiritual wisdom and only knowing how to slaughter. This is why some large sects have set rules that ordinary cultivators are not allowed to enter the Vast Expanse Ruins. However, the Vast Market is also a top-notch place for cultivation of divine powers and dao methods, and it is easiest to understand the laws of heaven and earth and take one’s cultivation to the next level by trying out in the Vast Market.
That’s why every year the several clans can recommend some of their cultivators to enter the Vast Expanse Market, and once you enter the Vast Expanse Market, you have to reach a certain level before you want to come out again.”
Speaking of this, the fellow glanced at Di Jiu, “If you can join a top sect like the Diffractive Path Sect, it would be much easier to get a spot to go to the Vast Expanse Market.”
“Thank you very much.” After Di Jiu thanked this fellow, his heart completely lost the idea of going to listen to the dao discussion.
He likewise did not want to go to the auction now, and everything else was secondary compared to his shaping of the Dao. Since he was going to the Vast Market, it was necessary to keep some divine crystals on him. Even if the auction was good, he probably wouldn’t be able to use it now, and if he grabbed something good with someone else, it would just add to his enemies.
An hour later, Di Jiu left the Diffraction One Sacred Dao City, he sold his box auction jade token at half price at the entrance of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, and didn’t even go back to the Rest House, he eagerly rushed to the Diffraction One Dao Sect.
He didn’t want to go to listen to the Mixed Origin Discourse, but at that time, Ding Zhonghe had said to him that it was still possible for him to become an outer disciple with this jade token.
……
The Yan Dao Sect’s clan gate looked like a huge one from afar, just tilting up to the sky.
Di Jiu secretly marveled, he knew that this was a top level grand formation, the kind of grand formation he couldn’t even touch the edges of.
“Stand still.” At the entrance of the clan’s protective formation, a cultivator stopped Di Jiu.
Di Jiu hurriedly took out the jade token given to him by Ding Zhonghe and handed it over, “I’m here to apply to join the Diffractive Path Sect, this is an identity token.”
The guarding cultivator glanced at the identity token in Di Jiu’s hand and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He naturally knew this token, this man was actually holding an identity token from listening to the dao discussions of the Diffractive Path Sect’s Old Ancestor Yan Yun to join the outer sect and become an outer disciple?
However, this identity token of Di Jiu’s did allow Di Jiu to join the outer sect, and he pointed to a fork in the road and said, “Follow this fork in the road and go straight to the sect’s disciple hall, you can apply for outer discipleship at the disciple hall.”
“Thank you very much.” Di Jiu hurriedly thanked him and followed the path this cultivator pointed out. His most pressing concern right now was not joining the outer disciples of the sect, but wanting to go to the Vast Expanse Market.
There were a lot of people in the disciple hall of the Diffractive Path Sect, and Di Jiu hadn’t even gotten close when he felt that air of haste. In the Diffraction Path Sect, the Disciple Hall was very crowded, the inner disciples handed in their tasks in the Mission Hall, but the outer disciples handed in their tasks in the Disciple Hall.
Di Jiu easily found the outer disciples’ registration office. The recruitment of outer disciples of the Diffraction Sect was very scattered and there was hardly any strict examination.
Before Di Jiu, there were several other cultivators with the clan deacon’s warrant to apply for joining the outer sect.
When Di Jiu handed in his jade token and said he wanted to join the outer sect, the cultivator in charge was stunned by Di Jiu’s jade token.
He had a jade token that allowed him to listen to the Daoist Ancestor Yan Yun’s teachings to join the outer disciples? There wasn’t something wrong with this guy, was there?
“Strictly speaking, this jade token is for you to register as an outer disciple only after you have listened to the sermon. If you had registered as an outer disciple first, there’s a good chance you wouldn’t be able to go to the Discourses.” After being surprised, this cultivator in charge still explained to Di Jiu.
Di Jiu waved his hand, “I just want to join the outer disciples and then go to the Vast Expanse Market to try out for a while. I’ve thought about the Yan Yun old ancestor’s discussion on the dao, I might not be able to understand it if my cultivation level is too poor.”
Hearing Di Jiu’s words, the cultivator in charge immediately became excited and he grabbed Di Jiu’s jade tag and said, “May I ask what your name is?”
“My name is Di Jiu.” Di Jiu didn’t hide his name anymore, this was the Yan Dao Sect, even the strongest person wouldn’t dare to come to the Yan Dao Sect to cause trouble.
The cultivator in charge hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Di, although going to the Vast Expanse Market is not difficult, it will take a while. I do have an idea, I will help you get an outer disciple slot and at the same time immediately give you a trial slot to teleport to the Vast Expanse Market, and you will let me have this jade token to listen to the Dao Ancestor’s Discourse. How about that?”
After this cultivator in charge finished speaking, he looked at Di Jiu with an expectant face.
Di Jiu said without hesitation, “Deal, that’s it.”
……
Sha Wuxing closed his door for a few days, mainly to prepare for the upcoming Yan Yun Dao. This time, he was going to participate in the Dao. But after a few days of seclusion, he was instead a little distracted, and he suddenly felt that something was not right.
It took him a while to realise that something was wrong or that Di Da. That Di Da was only an immortal emperor, a mere immortal emperor and a casual cultivator, staying in this rest house for a thousand top grade divine crystals a night, this was obviously not very normal.
He knew the hardships of a casual cultivator, and the divine crystals he saved up would be used for cultivation or to buy cultivation resources, so how could he waste them like this?
No, Sha Wu Huan suddenly stood up and walked directly towards Di Jiu’s cave.
