Ninth In the World

Scanning with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu was prepared to look for a few familiar faces to inquire about the situation in which he had some in the Dao World, especially the Worm Protectorate where he had a share.

Di Jiu soon found the difference. In his Spiritual Force, many cultivators seemed to be heading in the same direction. Many of them were still a large group and carried many precious gifts in their carriage.

Generally, after cultivating to the Golden Core Realm, it was not difficult to obtain a ring. Moreover, cultivators without a ring had a storage bag. By using a carriage to carry many treasures instead of a flying Dharma treasure, it seemed that they were afraid that other people were unaware, so they grandly gave the gifts. That was something strange indeed.

Di Jiu immediately rushed to stop one of the group of gift-giving cultivators and greeted them. He asked respectfully, “Fellow Daoists, I see that many people seem to be going to the same place to give gifts. Did anything happen to the Dao World?”

This cultivator who was in charge was only at the Dao Transformation Realm and sized up Di Jiu. Although Di Jiu looked extremely young, the saber behind Di Jiu did not seem simple and he could not see Di Jiu’s cultivation level. Therefore, regardless of whether Di Jiu was there to cause trouble on purpose, he hurriedly greeted and answered, “I’m the head of the Three Major Divine Hidden Sects in the Dao World. The Limitless Palace’s Palatial Lord has attained the Dao Integration Realm. From today onward, the Dao World will have its own Dao Integration expert.”

Someone in the Dao World had attained the Dao Integration Realm? Despite being puzzled, Di Jiu went out of the Dao World. The laws in the Dao World were still complete. However, after the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Heaven Earth Law was slightly indistinct. Thus, it was not easy to attain the Dao Integration Realm in the Dao World.

What was the Limitless Palace? Its Palatial Lord was so formidable? In a place such as the Dao World, he could also attain the Dao Integration Realm?

“Daoist, if there is nothing else, we have to be on our way.” Upon seeing Di Jiu stunned, this Dao Transformation cultivator didn’t want to waste time spouting nonsense there.

Di Jiu quickly said, “Even so, there is no need for so many people to go.”

Di Jiu had clearly seen that people from all over the places gave gifts. Was it necessary for so many cultivators to go there?

This Dao Transformation cultivator explained, “After Palatial Lord Fu attained the Dao Integration Realm, he sensed that the universe would change greatly. The Dao World needs a power of its own to survive in the universe. Thus, Palatial Lord Fu invited all the sects and powers in the Dao World to take this opportunity to convene a conference to unite the forces of the entire Dao World. ”

“Thank you.” Di Jiu cupped his fists without asking again.

He had a very weak sense of belonging to the Dao World. Di Jiu didn’t care who was Palatial Lord Limitless or why he wanted to set up an alliance of the Dao World.

However, since the Limitless Palace formed an alliance, Di Jiu decided to go there. There must be many sects and powers of the Dao World gathered here. Going over there to inquire about Xiuqi at this time should be the most suitable.

…

“Immediately lock this place, even a fly is not allowed to leave.” After confirming that he could not tear Nong Xiuqi’s world, Fu Buwen immediately ordered for the cave abode to be locked.

He was sure that Nong Xiuqi would not have entered the Creation Realm. She should have obtained something heaven-defying. As a result, when she burned her soul, she had created her own world.

Regarding that, Fu Buwen was convinced. If she had not obtained something heaven-defying, how could the Heaven Earth Law become clearer when Nong Xiuqi was cultivating to the point and even affected him? If Nong Xiuqi could create a world, it definitely had something to do with her cultivation technique.

Since Nong Xiuqi did not attain the Creation Realm, her realm was only on this side of her cave abode. After he dealt with his matters, he would slowly return to look for it. He didn’t believe that he couldn’t find Nong Xiuqi in his cave abode spatial domain.

No matter how deep Nong Xiuqi hid, she only created a new spatial world in this void through a mysterious and esoteric spatial law.

Today was the big day of the Limitless Palace. Thus, he must deal with other matters first.

…

In the most luxurious guest hall of the Limitless Palace, almost all the experts in the Dao World were gathered here.

Apart from the Sect Masters of the Dao World’s Five Major Sects and the Three Major Hidden Sects, even the Ten Major Geniuses of the strongest generation had come.

“Fellow Sect Masters and Family Heads, I thank everyone for coming here to help. Due to some personal matters, I was delayed. I hereby apologize to everyone.” When Fu Buwen arrived in the guest hall, almost a thousand people had already arrived. He first lowered his stance and apologized to everyone.

Those in this hall were either Sect Masters or powerful experts. Ordinary cultivators could only sit in the outer guest hall.

Upon seeing Fu Buwen come in, many cultivators, who had been chatting, greeted him with cupped fists one after another. They did not dare say a word regarding what Fu Buwen had said.

“Ha ha…” A loud laugh came through. Then, a thin, tall, and fair-skinned young man walked in and said, “I’ll congratulate Brother Fu first for attaining the Dao Integration Realm and becoming a pioneer of the Dao World.”

Upon seeing that person, Fu Buwen said with a loud laugh as he went forward to welcome him, “Brother Zhong, I’m still far from you. Back then, your River and Mountain Kettle was the top in the entire Dao World, seemingly without any worthy opponents. However, I’m not even one of the Ten Major Geniuses.”

Although Fu Buwen said he was not one of the Ten Major Geniuses, there was no inferiority in his tone. He had not taken the Ten Major Geniuses at that time seriously. When the Dao World was selecting the Ten Major Geniuses, he had not bothered to participate in that. Otherwise, he would have been one of the Ten Major Geniuses and even ranked in the first few places.

Upon seeing the thin and tall young man coming over, the other people greeted him one after another, including the Sect Masters of the Dao World’s Five Major Sects. Everyone knew who he was. He was one of the Ten Major Geniuses, Zhong You.

Zhong You was not an ordinary Ten Major Geniuses and was placed second. Besides the mysterious Di Xinren, everyone in the Dao World knew who Zhong You was.

Zhong You’s famous Dharma treasure was the River and Mountain Kettle that was rumored to be a Connate treasure. Back then, with just the River and Mountain Kettle, Zhong You had killed too many experts far superior to him.

In addition to being one of the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World, Zhong You’s other identity was not worse than Fu Buwen’s. He was the Palatial Lord of the Black Frost Palace. Besides the Cloud Distant Palace and the Limitless Palace, the Black Frost Palace was one of the Three Major Hidden Sects in the Dao World.

Although many experts had come to greet him, Zhong You was still at ease. He made everyone feel that they had not been left out, so they felt that he was very graceful.

Fu Buwen, who was full of smiles, looked at Zhongyou, who was exchanging greetings with everyone. No one could see his thoughts.

However, when Fu Buwen sensed Zhong You’s Dao runes, his gaze focused and he blurted out, “Brother Zhong, have you also attained the Dao Integration Realm?”

Upon hearing that, the hall went silent instantly. It was world-shaking enough to have Fu Buwen in the Dao Integration Realm. How come there was Zhong You as well now?

Zhong You laughed again. “I am far worse than Brother Fu, so I can only ask for a glass of water here.”

Fu Buwen laughed, but his heart sank. He had to take this opportunity to become the Union Master of the Dao World before he could take the next step. What he hadn’t expected was that Zhong You had also attained the Dao Integration realm. From certain perspectives, Zhong You’s reputation was much stronger than his. At this time, he suddenly regretted it. He should have participated in the selection of Ten Major Geniuses at that time.

Zhen Man, who had been standing next to Fu Buwen, saw these things clearly and her gaze stared straight at Zhong You. Compared to Fu Buwen, Zhong You was the more ideal one.

Zhong You’s fame was greater than that of Fu Buwen’s, he was in the Dao Integration Realm, and he had a higher status than Fu Buwen. Most importantly, Zhong You was more handsome than Fu Buwen.

Zhong You suddenly walked aside and said to a woman who had just come in, “Lan Ru, it’s been a long time.”

Zhen Man, who had been paying close attention to Zhong You, saw Lan Ru. It was all thanks to Lan Ru that she could come to the Dao World because to curry favor with Fu Buwen, she had to leave the Cloud Distant Palace. If Zhong You ignored Lan Ru, perhaps she could pretend to have seen nothing. However, she could only quickly walk over and said kindly, “Elder Sister Lan Ru, it’s been a long time too.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Zhong.” Lan Ru returned the greeting to Zhong You before she then looked at Zhen Man and said faintly, “The Lan family can’t afford to have such a person like you. Forget about saying that it has been a long time.”
