Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

“Brother Di, do we then go out to exchange the contribution points when the time is up?” Zhuo Wujia found this somewhat inappropriate.

Di Jiu casually killed a few more worms and chuckled. “If we do so, we’ll be courting death.”

“But it’s no point having so many worms if we don’t exchange them for contribution points.” Zhuo Wujia looked at Di Jiu doubtfully.

Di Jiu laughed. “After we go back, the first thing we need to do is purchase worms in bulk and publicize in the four districts. As for exchanging them for contribution points, we will do so when we leave.”

“I suppose not many people will sell their worms,” Zhuo Wujia subconsciously replied. If this was possible, someone would have done it.

After saying that, Zhuo Wujia reacted and shouted in pleasant surprise. “This way, other people will know where we got the worms. At least when we take out so many worms in one go, it won’t seem very sudden.”

“That’s right. It won’t seem very sudden when we take out so many worms.” Di Jiu nodded.

Zhuo Wujia immediately said, “Someone will still find out about this method sooner or later.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “When they find out, we’ll have already left this place and entered the true Dao World. The Dao World is vast and borderless, so where will those people go to kill us?”

When this wave of worms once again retreated, Di Jiu opened the isolation restriction.

Fewer cultivators perished due to the reduced wave of worms.

Everyone saw it when Di Jiu opened the isolation restriction array. However, nobody said anything. After all, for Di Jiu to survive, he had to personally kill Mu Jie to win Ni Xiren’s favor, and they looked down on his behavior. Most importantly, Di Jiu had taken Ni Xiren’s Ascension Dao Pill and would turn into an elixir pill sooner or later. Who was still in the mood to talk to an elixir pill?

Four more hours had passed, so it was time for another wave of worms to approach. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia seemed the same as usual. Even though they joined forces and killed dozens of worms, they only performed ordinarily. There was nothing special about them.

Nobody talked to Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, and they did not either. They endured 10 days like this.

Although Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia each obtained 100 to 200 contribution points, they were simply too far from the thousands of contribution points they had first obtained.

Many cultivators already had doubts about the points that the two of them had obtained during the first time and wondered whether it was because of Di Jiu’s array disc. Since Di Jiu’s array disc had been taken away by Ni Xiren, Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia had lost their weapon.

More cultivators were startled by the fact that after Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia returned to the North District City, the first thing they did was not dispel the poison or enter reclusive cultivation. Instead, they purchased worms from all over the place.

Even Wang Xie, who wanted to kill Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, did not care about a person like Di Jiu anymore. Di Jiu was a dead man who had taken the Ascension Dao Pill, so nobody cared about him.

As for why Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were purchasing worms from all over the place, the old cultivators only shook their heads speechlessly. Were they not embarrassed to purchase worms here?

The worms were important to everyone, and their corpses had to be exchanged for contribution points within a year. Otherwise, their contribution points would be half as much in two years, and then one-fourth of them would be left.

Only a brainless person would take out their contribution points for someone else. Although there were only 10 places each year in the four district cities, these 10 places were precious.

A cultivator had a long lifespan, let alone if they cultivated until they became an Immortal Emperor. Even if they endured tens of thousands of years in this place, they would be able to leave eventually one day.

Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, who were not bothered at all, still purchased worms outside daily. They had also made a big sign so they could purchase all kinds of worms outside their residence.

A few more months passed in the blink of an eye. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia once again guarded the Wormhole for 10 days. When they returned, both of them purchased worms daily.

Nobody knew how many worm corpses Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia had purchased. However, both of them were repeating the same thing daily, which made people doubt whether they had really purchased a lot of worms. Otherwise, they could not have continued doing so for long.

In reality, only Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia knew that they had purchased worms for half a year and had really purchased no more than 100 worms that were invaluable. Each worm was worth no more than one contribution point.

It had been more than a year since Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia had arrived here. However, it had not been a year since they had been on the Wormhole contribution point roll, so they had to wait another month.

A month was just like the blink of an eye for a cultivator.

On the day the contribution point roll ended, Daoist Di packed up his things and called Mu Jie out. “Daoist Mu, I’m prepared to leave. Enter my Quintessential World again and I will bring you away with me.”

“Do you have enough contribution points?” Mu Jie looked at Di Jiu in shock. Di Jiu had only been here at most for a year, yet within a year, he had sufficient contribution points to step into the Leaping Dao Door?

Although some cultivators had left the Wormhole in around one year, each of them had been a shocking existence. However, Mu Jie immediately thought of Di Jiu. Wasn’t he a shocking cultivator as well? Which cultivator could take out the Two-Realm Flowers when he was only an Immortal Emperor? In other words, who would be willing to take out his Two-Realm Flowers to give them to a stranger?

“Daoist Di, thank you, but I can’t leave with you. I plan to think of another way.” Even though Di Jiu could bring her away, Mu Jie declined his suggestion.

When Di Jiu had first brought it up, she had believed that it would not be so quick so she had not explained. She had not expected Di Jiu to spend only one year there before he could leave the Wormhole. This had simply exceeded her expectations.

“Why not?” Di Jiu looked at Mu Jie, feeling puzzled.

Mu Jie replied with a bitter laugh, “Daoist Di, you are really naive if you think that you can bring me away along with your Quintessential World and enter the Leaping Dao Door. It’s fine if I die, but I will also harm you at the same time.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “Daoist Mu, if you trust me and leave with me, I believe I can certainly take you out, just like I managed to be able to leave the Wormhole after around one year.”

After she told him her reasoning, Di Jiu still insisted on his viewpoint. Mu Jie only hesitated for a while and remained silent.

Di Jiu had entered the Wormhole and made it out unscathed. He had also saved her from Ni Xiren. This showed that Di Jiu was definitely not an ordinary cultivator who would look down on other people.

Mu Jie then responded, “Alright, I trust you. I will once again enter your Quintessential World.”

Di Jiu put Mu Jie in his Quintessential World and immediately sent his Quintessential World into his Ninth World. He believed that no matter how strong the experts that came over here were, they might not necessarily discover his Ninth World.

“Brother Di, we can leave. We only have half a day left.” Zhuo Wujia’s voice was heard. He had agreed with Di Jiu to exchange the worms during the last half of the day and then leave the Wormhole.

“Alright.” When Di Jiu walked out, he put away his nomological array flags.

“Brother Di, there is a Four-Clawed Corral Dao Worm among the worms you gave me. This time, I can exchange them for at least about 50,000 points,” Zhuo Wujia told Di Jiu excitedly, looking very happy.

Four-Clawed Corral Dao Worms could be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points each. However, they were extremely rare.

Di Jiu chuckled. “I seem to be lucky too. I have a Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm with a worm egg in it.”

“Ah…” Zhuo Wujia was stunned by Di Jiu’s words.

The Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm was just like the Four-Clawed Corral Dao Worm. Each corpse could be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points. However, the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm’s eggs were not simple. Each one was worth 100,000 contribution points. He would get a sky-high price if he sold it instead of exchanging it.

“Let’s go. In the past few days, the person at 10th place had around 30,000 points. Our points are sufficient to climb up to the top 10.” After Di Jiu put away all his nomological array flags, he walked out of the Murderous Dao Lake first.
