Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

When he opened his palm, the Yin-Yang Taijitu immediately floated above Di Jiu’s head.

He was facing two perfected Primordial Chaos cultivators, so Di Jiu dared not be careless.

“The Yin-Yang Taijitu! You’re Di Jiu? Yes, I know you are Di Jiu, but this is absolutely impossible…” While speaking incoherently, that small and vigorous perfected Primordial Chaos cultivator stared at Di Jiu.

Di Jiu merely took out the taijitu and did not do anything. He had not come here for the sake of starting a feud or killing people but to change the rules of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

Di Jiu, who did not care about facing three Primordial Chaos cultivators, only calmly looked at the three of them before him. He had taken out the Yin-Yang Taijitu so if these three people wanted to do anything, he would kill them all. Everyone would still survive if anyone went missing in the vast Dao World. He was unwilling to start a feud, but that did not mean he was afraid of anyone.

“Could you perhaps really have destroyed Dai He Hall? You also took the Yin-Yang Taijitu?” After the short and vigorous man finished speaking, Di Jiu did not need to answer for him to understand. Given Di Jiu’s powerful move, what was wrong with destroying Dai He Hall?

Dai He Hall had been destroyed by Di Jiu. Actually, this incident had been spreading in the Dao World for a while, but this unfounded rumor had soon been replaced by the truth.

The truth about the destruction of Dai He Hall was that Jiang Dai had courted disaster by provoking the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. After Jiang Dai had bullied the Great Buddha Mountain with his power, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect had been just as easy to bully. What Jiang Dai had not expected was that there would still be a Dao Integration expert in the Vast Pure Sacred Sect: Yi Jin.

Yi Jin had injured Jiang Dai seriously on the spot. Although Jiang Dai had escaped, Yi Jin had not let it go just like that. She had hunted him down to Dai He Hall and destroyed it. At the same time, she had taken away the rumored Yin-Yang Taijitu.

As for why it had been later said that Di Jiu had destroyed Dai He Hall, it was because Jiang Dai had been hunting down Di Jiu and Yi Jin of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect had not wanted others to say that her sect had destroyed another sect. That would damage the sect’s objective of universal love. Likewise, Jiang Dai had not wanted anyone to know that his sect had been destroyed by a Dao Integration expert and he did not dare to seek revenge. Thus, he had vented his anger on that weakling Di Jiu, who had just ascended.

All the cultivators in the Dao World had suddenly seen the light. It was reasonable that Yi Jin had destroyed Dai He Hall. If a weakling who had just ascended could destroy Dai He Hall, this world would be too crazy.

As for Di Jiu, who had once caused a sensation, he had been completely forgotten after a few years.

That day, if Di Jiu had not taken out the Yin-Yang Taijitu, it was not necessary that anyone would have remembered that he had been chased back then and had been involved in a splendid false rumor.

Now that Di Jiu had taken out the taijitu, the Dao World Sect Union Master immediately remembered the rumor that Di Jiu had destroyed Dai He Hall. He was afraid that the initial rumor of him destroying the hall was true while the rumor of Yi Jin destroying it was false.

Di Jiu took a step forward and the two perfected Primordial Chaos experts, who had just come out of the Teleportation Array, subconsciously took a step back.

“That’s right. I destroyed Dai He Hall. Why? Do you have an opinion on that?” While Di Jiu spoke, he started setting up nomological array flags in this space.

Sure enough, this thin and vigorous perfected Primordial Chaos expert hurriedly bowed. “I wouldn’t dare. I’m the Dao World Sect Union Master, Wu Qianxiong. The Dao World Sect Union’s Left Protector, Kuang Yiren, also came with me. The person who previously offended Daoist Di was the Dao World Sect Union’s Right Protector, Lu Zhenyu. Due to some misinformation, this has caused a misunderstanding. Daoist Di, please forgive me.”

No matter how formidable Wu Qianxiong was, he did not dare mention contending against Jiang Dai. Di Jiu was an expert who had destroyed Dai He Hall and was still alive to tell the tale. Countless people in the Dao World thought that Yi Jin had truly destroyed Dai He Hall. Di Jiu was just a weakling scapegoat to them, so he had been forgotten.

However, the truth was that Dai He Hall had truly been destroyed by Di Jiu, the cultivator everyone considered a weakling.

Lu Zhenyu, who had been seriously injured by Di Jiu and had lost an arm, could only forcibly bow before Di Jiu even though he was condemned. “I have offended you. Please forgive me.”

If Di Jiu had dared to destroy Dai He Hall, would he still have been afraid of the Dao World Sect Union?

Kuang Yiren had checked on his son’s injuries. Even though Kuang Shi had not suffered light injuries, this was nothing to him.

After understanding Di Jiu’s background, even Kuang Shi was unwilling to oppose him head-on.

“Brother Di, Kuang Shi was too unsophisticated and inflexible. Please don’t take it to heart.” While cupping his fists, Kuang Yiren bowed slightly, showing enough respect to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu had no intention of going head-on against the Dao World Sect Union. He had only come here to change the rules so that when he was no longer in the Dao World, his friends would not be trapped in the Wormhole. If he had any feuds, no matter how much respect the other party showed him, he would not hesitate to kill them.

“I came here to talk a few things over with you guys,” said Di Jiu while lifting his hands to put away the Yin-Yang Taijitu.

Since the other party wanted to reconcile, Di Jiu naturally did not want to fight anymore.

Upon seeing Di Jiu put away the Yin-Yang Taijitu, Wu Qianxiong felt relieved and hurriedly said, “Daoist Di, please speak. Although the Wormhole Defense District is managed by the Dao World Sect Union, this place is indeed the responsibility of the entire Dao World.”

Pointing at the Teleportation Array, Di Jiu replied, “The current requirement for the Leaping Dao Door Divine City’s Teleportation Array is too outrageous. I’m afraid that new cultivators will most likely be unable to teleport away. I suggest that you let them teleport away unconditionally as long as they guard the Wormhole for over 200 years.”

“This…” Wu Qianxiong was taken aback by the fact that Di Jiu had removed the requirement of 100,000 divine crystals. However, he thought that 50,000 contribution points could not be accumulated easily, so it was not too much. The only problem was that as long as they guarded the Wormhole for more than 200 years, they could teleport away unconditionally, which was a bit too much.

Di Jiu added, “One more thing. The Wormhole’s points could later be completely accumulated by having the points removed half a year later.”

Wu Qianxiong was completely stunned. If they were to remove the points half a year later, anyone could accumulate 50,000 points. Evidently, any new cultivators who came to the Wormhole could easily leave the Dao World.

“Brother Di, this matter involves the interests of other sects. Although I am the Dao World Sect’s Union Master…”

Without waiting for Wu Qianxiong to finish, Di Jiu once again waved his hands and impolitely said, “Union Master Wu, I’m not talking it over with you. If you think so, you have misunderstood. Tell any Sect Master who is unsatisfied to come find me. Of course, I can only go to their sect.”

He was powerful. Too powerful…

Wu Qianxiong could only silently reprimand him. Even though he had cultivated to this day, could he be unaware of his frangibility? What good was it to be so powerful?

How could he know what Di Jiu was thinking? He did not have any time to waste in the Dao World. He’d only happened to be passing by. He had to cut the Gordian knot and set the rules. If the Dao World Sect Union disagreed, he would kill them. Why would he be taking the time to gather everyone, give them benefits, and then solve this problem smoothly? He was not in the mood, and neither did he have the time.

After being delayed for thousands of years in that spatial rift, Di Jiu had gotten anxious. In the Void City, he had learned about Heaven’s Beyond and now knew clearly how insignificant he was. To change his insignificance, he had to accumulate a lot of time.

“Brother Di, even if I agree to this and implement it, it can’t persist for a long time. The Wormhole needs to be guarded. If everyone leaves, it will definitely collapse in the future. One more thing. If the Teleportation Array is free in the long term, the maintenance costs will be lower. Brother Di, as the Union Master, I can give you 20% of the Wormhole revenue…”

Wu Qianxiong was truly helpless. While facing a tyrannical and unreasonable person like Di Jiu, what else could he do?
