Chapter 573: Di Jiu Understands the Dao

“What’s the matter?” Senior Brother Yue, who was prepared to leave, immediately stared at Di Jiu vigilantly upon seeing him stop them.

Di Jiu cupped his fists and said politely, “Can you repeat what you said earlier? Oh, please don’t misunderstand. I think there have been some... um... misunderstandings.”

Di Jiu also knew he had gone overboard since he did not know these two people. However, he unexpectedly wanted him to repeat his words.

Senior Brother Yue once again scanned Di Jiu and realized he could not see through Di Jiu’s cultivation level. He then restrained his inner unhappiness and said, “A year ago, Huang Li’ai had yet to condense his Dao Seed. Junior Sister He and I did not mind his low cultivation level, so we took the initiative to bring him to the Gale Valley to put him to the test. After he condensed a very good Dao Seed and returned, he told everyone that he completely relied on himself instead and even helped both of us a lot. He said that his Dao technique is much stronger than both of ours, so how could he rely on us to condense his Dao Seed? We are preparing to go somewhere this time and can’t afford to bring along such a person.”

Di Jiu’s eye lit up as though there was an illumination in his heart and the dense fog before him had been stripped away. He then subconsciously said, “What he said is correct...”

When he heard Di Jiu speak up for Huang Li’ai and even say he was right, Senior Brother Yue snorted and his face sank. He told the female cultivator beside him, “Junior Sister He, let’s go.”

The two of them rapidly left since they evidently believed that Di Jiu was in cahoots with Huang Li’ai.

However, Di Jiu was ecstatic, as he had finally understood his own path.

He was a Founder of the Nomological Dao, but he wanted to listen to someone else’s Dao discussion to condense his Dao Seed and undergo Dao Modeling. This was simply like putting the cart before the horse.

Just as Huang Li’ai had said, his Nomological Dao still had to make use of someone else’s Dao force to condense his Dao Seed. Then was this the Dao Seed of his Nomological Dao or a branch of the First Evolution Dao Sect Primordial Chaos expert?

This was putting the cart before the horse, as he was unaware of his huge wealth and he still wanted to beg someone else for copper coins.

At this point, what he needed to do was not listen to the Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor’s Dao discussion but find a place to put himself to the test, condense his Nomological Dao Seed, and model this Nomological Dao.

“Dear friend, don’t you think I’m right? They’re simply...” Huang Li’ai immediately spoke, sounding unconvinced when he heard Di Jiu agree with him.

Di Jiu glanced at Huang Li’ai coldly. “Get lost. I’m wasting my time talking to trash like you.”

“You...” Huang Li’ai, who had not expected Di Jiu to tell him to get lost, was enraged.

Di Jiu’s killing intent swept over. When Huang Li’ai sensed it, he only dared to say a word before lowering his head and turning to leave quickly. He even put aside the matter regarding Senior Brother Yue and Senior Sister He.

Di Jiu had understood his Dao direction through Huang Li’ai’s words and would not rely on listening to someone else’s Dao discussion. However, he looked down on ingrates like Huang Li’ai.

He was aware that the reason Huang Li’ai could condense his Dao Seed was due to Senior Brother Yue and Senior Sister He’s help and guidance. Not only was he not grateful, but he had also told everyone that the two of them had not helped him and he had been the one helping them all along instead. It would be strange if Di Jiu looked up to such a person.

“Dear friend, can I ask where the largest changes in the Heaven Earth Law at the test trial site are?” Di Jiu once again returned to the front desk and asked the inn assistant a question.

He cultivated the Nomological Dao so if he wanted to model his Dao, it would be best if he found a place with an impermanent change in the Heaven Earth Law to put himself to the test.

The inn assistant said with a laugh, “You must have arrived here recently, right? If you reside in the vicinity, you should know that the biggest changes in the Heaven Earth Law in the entire Dao World are in the Vast Ruins. Inside there are all the Five-Element Beasts and impermanent changes of the Heaven Earth Law. However, it’s not easy to get to the Vast Ruins.”

“Why not?” Di Jiu asked, sounding puzzled.

The shop assistant explained, “The Vast Ruins are extremely dangerous and many cultivators who went in to put themselves to the test were eventually affected by the changes of the Heaven Earth Law. As a result. they turned into Five-Element Beasts and completely lost their wisdom. They only know how to massacre now. Hence, some major sects set a rule that ordinary cultivators are not allowed to enter the Vast Ruins. Since the Vast Ruins are a top-notch cultivation place for divine power and Dao technique, it’s easiest to understand the Heaven Earth Law when you put yourself to the test there, thus allowing your cultivation level to attain a higher level.

The major sects can recommend part of the cultivators who will enter the Vast Ruins every year. Once they enter, they have to achieve a certain degree before they can come out.”

The inn assistant then shot a look at Di Jiu. “If you can join a top-notch sect like the First Evolution Dao Sect, it will be much easier to get on the list to go to the Vast Ruins.”

“Thanks a lot.” After Di Jiu thanked the inn assistant, he did not have any intention of listening to the Dao discussion anymore.

Likewise, he did not wish to attend the auction house, as his Dao Modeling was his primary concern. Since he wanted to go to the Vast Ruins, he had to keep some divine crystals on him. No matter how good the items were at the auction house, he reckoned that he had no use for them now. He would only be making enemies if he fought over quality items with someone else.

Two hours later, Di Jiu left the First Evolution Sacred Dao City. He sold his cabin and auction jade card at half price at the doorway of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce. Without even returning to the inn, he hurriedly rushed to the First Evolution Dao Sect.

He did not wish to listen to the Primordial Chaos Dao discussion. Ding Zhonghe had told him that he could still become an outer sect disciple with this jade card.

...

From afar, the First Evolution Dao Sect looked like a huge line inclining up to the sky.

Di Jiu silently sighed, as he knew this was a top-notch major array whose sides he could not even touch.

“Stop there.” A cultivator stopped Di Jiu at the entrance of the sect’s Defense Array.

Di Jiu promptly took out the jade card that Ding Zhonghe had given him and handed it over. “I’m here to apply and join the First Evolution Dao Sect. This is my identification card.”

The guarding cultivator glanced at the identification card in Di Jiu’s hand and a trace of amazement flashed through his eyes. He naturally recognized this card, but this person actually had taken out the identification card that was used to listen to the First Evolution Dao Sect Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion to join the sect as an outer sect disciple?

The identification card that Di Jiu had could indeed allow him to join the outer sect. He pointed at the bifurcated road and said, “Follow this bifurcated road and you will reach the sect’s Disciple Hall directly. You can apply to be an outer sect disciple there.”

“Thanks a lot.” Di Jiu hurriedly thanked him and walked along the road the cultivator had pointed at. He needed to urgently go to the Vast Ruins and not join as an outer sect disciple right now.

There were many people in the Disciple Hall of the First Evolution Dao Sect. Before Di Jiu could get near, he could sense a hasty aura. Many things were happening in the Disciple Hall of the First Evolution Dao Sect. While the inner sect disciples’ missions were assigned in the Mission Hall, the outer sect disciples’ missions were assigned in the Disciple Hall.

Di Jiu found the outer sect disciple registration area easily. The recruitment of the First Evolution Dao Sect’s outer sect disciples was very disorderly and lacked stringent inspection.

A few cultivators in front of Di Jiu were holding onto the sect deacon’s token to apply to join the sect.

When Di Jiu took his jade card and handed it in, saying that he wanted to join the outer sect, the cultivator in charge was startled by his jade card.

He was using a jade card that allowed him to listen to Dao Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion to join as an outer sect disciple? Was this fellow crazy?

“Strictly speaking, this jade card can only be used to register as an outer sect disciple after listening to the Dao discussion. If you use it to register first, you might not be able to go to the Dao discussion venue.” After getting startled, the cultivator in charge explained it all to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “I only want to join as an outer sect disciple and go to the Vast Ruins to put myself to the test for some time. Regarding Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion, I have thought about it and my cultivation level is so poor that I might not necessarily understand.”

Upon hearing that, the cultivator in charge immediately got excited. He took Di Jiu’s jade card and said, “May I know your name?”

“I’m Di Jiu.” Di Jiu did not conceal his name, as this was the First Evolution Dao Sect. No matter how formidable someone was, they would not dare cause trouble here.

The cultivator in charge hurriedly replied, “Junior Brother Di, even though it’s not hard to go to the Vast Ruins, you have to wait for some time. I actually have a way. I’ll get you in as an outer sect disciple and give you a place right away to teleport to the Vast Ruins for a test trial. In exchange, you will give me this jade card to listen to Dao Patriarch’s Dao discussion. How does that sound?”

After saying that, he looked at Di Jiu with a face full of anticipation.

Di Jiu agreed without hesitation. “It’s a deal. We’ll do that.”

...

Sha Wushang had entered seclusion for several days to mainly prepare for the upcoming Dao discussion conducted by Yan Yun. He had to attend this Dao discussion. However, after entering seclusion for a few days, he felt somewhat uneasy. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After some time, he came back to his senses. What was wrong was Di Da. He was merely an Immortal Emperor and an Itinerant Cultivator who had stayed in an inn that cost 1,000 high-grade divine crystals per night. This was clearly not very normal.

He knew the hardships an Itinerant Cultivator faced. The divine crystals they accumulated would be used for cultivating or purchasing cultivating resources. How could he waste them like this?

That was not right. Sha Wushang stood up all of a sudden and immediately walked toward Di Jiu’s cave abode.
