Ninth In the World

Di Jiu chuckled. “I will be disrespectful then and take 20% of the shares.”

Upon hearing that, Wu Qianxiong felt joyous before despising him even more. He only wanted benefits and acted disrespectfully to gain them.

Wu Qianxiong had not expected that Di Jiu would change the topic. “Union Master Wu, I don’t need that 20%. You just have to hand the shares over to the Leaping Dao Door Divine City’s successive City Lords and let them manage them. Then, use them to pay for the Teleportation Array’s expenses.”

Wu Qianxiong, whose mouth was wide open, had not expected Di Jiu to be so noble. He did not want the shares but wanted to use them to make up for the Teleportation Array’s losses. This was simply…

“Why? Does Union Master Wu have an opinion?” Di Jiu asked in a slightly more serious tone upon seeing Wu Qianxiong not say anything.

Wu Qianxiong hurriedly replied, “No, no. Brother Di, although 20% of the shares is not little, I’m afraid this Teleportation Array will still lack the maintenance fee in the long term. According to you, this Teleportation Array will definitely be used very frequently, but it uses a high-grade Dao meridian in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. Using it constantly over a long time would eventually consume the Dao meridian.”

Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right. Please step aside.”

Then, Di Jiu suddenly took out a huge bunch of array flags and threw them.

The Spirit Origin Array sealing the Teleportation Array split open, dispersing rich Divine Spirit Qi.

Wu Qianxiong was stunned while watching from the side. Could Di Jiu want to take away this high-grade Dao meridian? If that was the case, not only was this Teleportation Array done for, but the Leaping Dao Door Divine City would also suffer.

Should he make a move?

Although Wu Qianxiong was extremely reluctant to start a feud with Di Jiu, if he still did not make a move when Di Jiu was going to take away the Leaping Dao Door Divine City’s high-grade Dao meridian, his reputation would be abolished.

Before Wu Qianxiong could make a move, Di Jiu had once again taken out a 1,000-feet-long Dao meridian and implanted it.

Then, Di Jiu threw out handful after handful of array flags. In the blink of an eye, the place where the Spirit Origin was located had been sealed up. Di Jiu had yet to finish when he took out a pile of array flags again to set up a Dharma Array.

Wu Qianxiong and Kuang Yiren were horrified to clearly see Di Jiu implant a supreme-grade Dao meridian.

Needless to say, not even some top-notch sects might necessarily have a supreme-grade Dao meridian, let alone mere Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

Selfish or selfless, Di Jiu’s behavior was a good thing for the Dao World and even the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

Wu Qianxiong and the others were silent, as they understood that Di Jiu was planting a backup Spirit Origin for the Teleportation Array.

At the same time, Wu Qianxiong was even more afraid of Di Jiu. Not many people in the entire Dao World were comparable to Di Jiu’s method of setting up the Dharma Array, not to mention to him. After all, he was a level-four Divine Array King and they were unaware of the locations of Di Jiu’s array flags.

If Wu Qianxiong and Kuang Yiren were surprised by Di Jiu’s high Array Dao level, then Shen Changshui and Heng Shuangqi could only sigh over the fact that these two people were so incomparable. The two of them knew very well when Di Jiu had entered the Wormhole Defense District, but Di Jiu had now reached a point where even the Dao World Sect Union Master had to flatter him while they were still bitterly struggling in the Wormhole Defense District.

Since the level at which the Defense Array of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City’s Teleportation Array sealed the Spirit Origin was so low, Di Jiu simply set up a level-six Spirit Sealing Array. In addition, he also set up a level-six Divine Killing Array. If anyone dared to come here to snatch his supreme-grade divine spirit meridian, that person would only be buried there unless he was a top-notch Primordial Chaos expert or Dao Integration expert. However, that kind of person would not come to snatch the supreme-grade divine spirit meridian.

When Di Jiu set up the major array, no one around him spoke. After a full day, he finished setting up the Teleportation Array’s Defense Array and Killing Array.

“Union Master Wu, are there any more problems with this Teleportation Array despite my 20% share and this Dao meridian?” Di Jiu asked after he finished setting up while looking at Wu Qianxiong.

Wu Qianxiong bowed before Di Jiu. “Brother Di, you are much more generous than me. I am ashamed. With this Dao meridian and the surrounding Spirit-Gathering Array, I believe that the Teleportation Array should be sustainable. I hereby represent all the cultivators of the Dao World and thank Brother Di on their behalf for everything he has done for the Dao World and the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.”

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “I just did something for the newly-ascended cultivators. This has nothing to do with the Dao World. I still suggest that we allow the cultivators of the Dao World to put themselves to the test in the Wormhole. This way, there won’t be insufficient manpower to guard the Wormhole because the cultivators left.”

Many Itinerant Cultivators in the Dao World needed test trials and cultivating resources. The danger of the Wormhole was not relatively great, so it was really appropriate for them to come here for test trials.

“Alright.” This time, Wu Qianxiong agreed with Di Jiu’s suggestion without hesitation.

Not only did Di Jiu not want the share, but he had also taken out a supreme-grade Dao meridian of immeasurable value, which showed that he really was doing this for the newcomers.

Even if the Dao World Sect faced internal strife due to suppressing the newcomers, Wu Qianxiong also knew that he should not say anything else. Otherwise, he was afraid that Di Jiu would not talk to him as nicely and would instead kill him.

He sensed that Di Jiu was not very patient about this.

Upon seeing Wu Qianxiong agree with his suggestion, Di Jiu cupped his fists before Wu Qianxiong before he turned to Jiao Yueheng and told him, “I won’t hold the previous matter against you, but I hope you can help me do some things.”

Would Jiao Yueheng dare say anything at that moment? He knew that Di Jiu could kill him as easily as pinching an ant. “Senior, please instruct me. As long as I can do it, I, Jiao Yueheng, will not delay.”

Di Jiu said, “There are a lot of newcomers here. First of all, I hope you can draw up some requirements that are beneficial for them. Plus, nobody is allowed to kill the innocent. Many of my friends will come here and if anything happens to them, I’ll let you down. Second, I hope that while you are still the Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord, you can guard this Teleportation Array and will not allow anyone to destroy or use it at will. There is an array flag here, so if you encounter an expert you’re not a match for, you can use this to kill them.”

While saying that, Di Jiu took out an array flag and handed it to Jiao Yueheng. This array flag was for those who wanted to steal the implanted supreme-grade divine spirit meridian.

Jiao Yueheng felt bitter deep down but could only thank him with a bow. “Senior, please rest assured. I will definitely follow your instructions well.”

Di Jiu nodded and said, “If you leave this place one day, you have to pass on this array flag and my words to the next City Lord.”

After he finished his sentence, Di Jiu’s gaze landed on Wu Qianxiong and the other two.

This time, Di Jiu did not need to speak. Wu Qianxiong took the initiative to say, “Brother Di, rest assured. The Dao World Sect Union will also pay attention to this and will definitely make the Leaping Dao Door Divine City Lord do what you said.”

“Thank you very much, Union Master Wu,” said Di Jiu.

Then, he took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiao Yueheng. “Here is a Heaven Essence Dao Pill. It should allow you to reach the Primordial Dao Realm. Consider it a fee for your hard work.”

“Ah…” Jiao Yueheng was stunned before he reacted, looking ecstatic. “Okay, Senior. Thank you.”

He had never thought that he might obtain the Heaven Essence Dao Pill, yet one had just landed in his palm. If he had known that Di Jiu had a Heaven Essence Dao Pill, even if he’d made 100 suggestions, he would have been delighted to accept them.

Jiao Yueheng kept his excitement and ecstasy under control and accepted the Heaven Essence Dao Pill before thanking him again.

Kuang Yiren was envious. His son, Kuang Shi, was also at the perfected Dao Transformation and if he had one Heaven Essence Dao Pill, he would immediately reach the Primordial Dao Realm. However, he knew very well that even if Di Jiu left, he could not snatch the Heaven Essence Dao Pill from Jiao Yueheng.

Di Jiu cupped his fists before everyone present while saying, “Everyone, I’ll need to go out to take care of some things soon. I hope that my business here won’t spread everywhere.”

Di Jiu did not want to hide anything but was worried about that supreme-grade divine spirit meridian. Someone would always disregard their life to go there for the supreme-grade Dao meridian.
