Ninth In the World

No divine crystals were needed to be transported from the Vast Ruins to the First Evolution Dao Sect as long as one had an identification card, regardless of whether they were from the outer sect or inner sect.

Since Di Jiu was an outer sect disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect, he very easily teleported back there once again.

After he returned to the sect, Di Jiu did not intend to go out. He had used the jade talisman that was needed to listen to Primordial Chaos Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion back then. Not only had he obtained an outer sect disciple qualification in exchange, but he had also gotten a good cave abode.

Although Di Jiu had not been to his cave abode, the deacon had said that this cave abode was considered good in the entire Outer Sect Mountain.

Soon, Di Jiu arrived at the Outer Sect Mountain. His residence was No. 341, but before he could reach it, he was extremely satisfied.

He liked a cave abode that was close to the water. He would rather face danger but he’d had to reside by the Murderous Dao Lake back then in the Wormhole Defense District.

There was a lake outside cave abode No. 341 that was quite big. Apart from that, the surrounding Heaven Earth Divine Spirit Qi was also considered ample.

Di Jiu walked to the cave abode and used the identification card in his hands. What puzzled him was that he unexpectedly did not open the Defense Array.

He had not set up the Defense Array all over again. Since this was his cave abode, he should be able to open it with his identification card.

However, Di Jiu did not mind, as this was just a level-one Divine Array. Even if he resided here, he would have to set up this Defense Array all over again sooner or later.

Di Jiu opened his palm and immediately ripped apart this Defense Array.

Since he was now a level-two peak Divine Array Master, a mere level-one Defense Array was dispensable in his eyes.

“Who dares to break my Defense Array?” A furious voice spoke before a yellow-faced man rushed out.

Your Defense Array? Di Jiu looked at this yellow-faced man in a daze. It was clearly his cave abode. How had this become someone else’s Defense Array? Furthermore, someone already resided here. What was going on?

“A newcomer? You must have guts. Don’t tell me that you are unaware that it’s suicide if you break a cave abode Defense Array in the First Evolution Dao Sect?” The yellow-faced man eyed Di Jiu from head to toe but did not seem to make out Di Jiu’s cultivation level. He spoke in a cold tone because he could not choose to make a move without sensing Di Jiu’s strength.

Di Jiu faintly replied, “This is my cave abode. How come it became yours? Don’t tell me one cave abode is given to two disciples in the First Evolution Dao Sect?”

“Your cave abode?” When he heard Di Jiu’s words, he sounded somewhat surprised. He then said, “You’ve been out for many years. Who knew if you were dead or alive? Cave abodes are sect resources, so this cave abode naturally had to be assigned to someone else.”

“Get lost.” Di Jiu immediately stepped in.

He knew very well that in the First Evolution Dao Sect, as long as an outer sect disciple was assigned a cave abode, they would not easily lose it. However, if an outer sect disciple disappeared for more than 100 years without sending any news, their cave abode would then be assigned a second time.

Since he had only been gone for decades, he was still far from missing for 100 years. Therefore, Di Jiu was certain that this cave abode definitely could not have been reassigned by the sect.

“Dear friend, do you know who I am?” The yellow-faced man sounded increasingly cold. At the same time, a valiant aura shrouded Di Jiu. Since Di Jiu had gone through the Dao Modeling long ago, once he sensed this aura, he knew that the yellow-faced man was also at the Dao Modeling.

“I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t get lost, don’t blame me for making a move.” Di Jiu opened his palm and his Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in his hand. His domain also crushed him.

He had not shown 30 percent of his domain aura strength yet, but the yellow-faced man’s domain aura was crushed. The man’s expression changed greatly, and he moved dozens of steps back.

The yellow-faced man sighed deeply. As he glanced at Di Jiu, he said at a slow pace, “I’m indeed not your match but I’m a disciple of the Xun Family. I’m willing to fork out 3,000 high-grade divine crystals as long as you let me have this place. My family has many experts in the First Evolution Dao Sect. Even if you are killed here, you’re just an outer sect disciple, so there won’t be any…”

Before he could finish, Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber swept out with a white flare saber blade. The yellow-faced man did not even have a chance to avoid it before this saber blade cut open a bloody wound on his chest, sending fresh blood flowing out.

The yellow-faced man was sent flying backward. At the same time, he took out an elixir pill to swallow it and stop his injury. He simply had not expected that Di Jiu would really dare to make a move.

His expression changed, but he did not dare make a huge matter out of this because he was in the wrong. He stared at Di Jiu with killing intent. If he did not kill Di Jiu, he, Xun Shang, would not be fit to be a disciple of the Xun Family.

“You have guts. I hope that you will always have guts.” Xun Shang ruthlessly left behind some words before he turned to leave.

Di Jiu sneered. If they had not been in the First Evolution Dao Sect, his saber move earlier would have hacked Xun Shang into two.

“You have guts. How dare you use that Dharma treasure in the sect to injure someone.” An ice-cold, clear voice spoke. Then, a woman in a hemp garment landed before Di Jiu.

“Junior Xun Shang greets Valley Master An.” Upon seeing the woman in the hemp garment, Xun Shang hurriedly bowed.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the woman and immediately sensed that her cultivation level was unfathomable. She was also much more valiant than Sha Wushang, who he had seen back then. Since he could not tell which Valley Master this woman was, he could only promptly say respectfully, “Di Jiu greets you, Senior.”

An Tuning was in a bad mood. The First Evolution Dao Sect clearly had no chance of winning at this Dao World Elixir River Competition. However, she had to accept this mission.

Worst-case scenario, after she lost, the Spring Evolution Valley would give up some of the sect’s cultivating resources. However, what made her furious was that the Elixir River Competition was about to start and she had come here to search for the sect’s Alchemy Masters to no avail.

All the Alchemy Masters in the First Evolution Dao Sect seemed to have discussed beforehand. They had accepted a mission and left the First Evolution Dao Sect before the Elixir River Competition had started.

Since she was not a fool, how could she not have known that all this was someone else’s scheme? Even if she lost, she would have to bring at least a few Alchemy Masters there. Now that she could not even find one Alchemy Master, how could she still compete? Clearly, someone had really schemed against her.

When she had passed by the Outer Sect Mountain in this extremely bad mood, she had sensed that someone had made a move here. She usually did not bother scanning with her Spiritual Force when it came to such small matters. However, since she was in a bad mood today, she had to find a few punching bags. He had a death wish if he had dared to make a move in the First Evolution Dao Sect.

An Tuning did not care who Di Jiu or Xun Shang were. She just lifted her hand to slap them. She would use these nobodies as punching bags first. The reason that the First Evolution Dao Sect was suppressed by the other few major sects was that too many people in the sect did not abide by the rules and acted selfishly. It would be strange if such a sect could stand up since they were also scheming over huge matters. These two insignificant outer sect disciples were fighting in the sect and clearly did not abide by the rules of the sect.

As soon as she lifted her hands, she could sense a faint elixir pill aura on Di Jiu. An Tuning’s gaze immediately concentrated on him. Was he an Alchemy Master? This was the first time she had heard of an outer sect disciple being an Alchemy Master.

Di Jiu had returned after practicing alchemy for several years, so he naturally had the elixir pill aura. He did not know what An Tuning was thinking but could only sense something bad. An Tuning wanted to make a move on him, and that kind of threat was terrifying. He did not dare let An Tuning do that, as an expert like her might kill him with one slap.

Therefore, the moment An Tuning lifted her hands, Di Jiu hurriedly said, “Senior, this is my cave abode. When I arrived, Xun Shang was staying here. I asked him to leave, but instead of doing so, he threatened me. I immediately attacked him out of fury.”

Upon saying that, Di Jiu took out his disciple identification card, where his number was written clearly: Di Jiu, cave abode No. 341.

An Tuning’s gaze turned cold as she stared at Xun Shang. “You have the guts to occupy someone else’s cave abode? Do you think you’re impressive just because your surname is Xun?”

“Junior…” Xun Shang was filled with fear. He wanted to explain, but nothing came out of his mouth.

Bam! An Tuning slapped him and sent him flying. Di Jiu’s heart went cold when he saw that from afar. He was sure that Xun Shang was done for. Even if this slap did not kill Xun Shang, he would have no chance of cultivating.
