Di Jiu and the other two went far away from Honeycomb Beach. When Di Jiu saw that Wei Hongyi did not try to catch up, he was relieved.

Wei Hongyi clearly could not be compared to Ji Mi. His cultivation strength was far above theirs, and he also had several Dao Modeling experts by his side. Besides, he had seen Wei Hongyi’s techniques against him. If they really ended up fighting, it would be hard for the three of them to win. One or two of them might even perish in the end.

“I’ll share some Stacked Partition Herbs with you,” Di Jiu said after he was sure there was no danger.

Zhuo Wujia immediately replied, “I only want 100 Stacked Partition Herbs since I plan to have a look at the sects. Didn’t it state on the mission that we would have the chance to enter the First Evolution Dao Sect if we had more than 100 of them?”

Mu Jie responded, “I had the same thought as Brother Zhuo. Although I might not necessarily enter the First Evolution Dao Sect, I also want to enter a reliable sect and gain some insight for some time.”

Di Jiu understood what they meant. He had his Nomological Qi Circulation, while Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie did not have any higher level cultivation techniques. Before they had sufficient divine crystals, the best choice would be to enter a major sect. He only muttered to himself before saying, “Alright, let’s go take a look together then. I’ll give each of you 10,000 Stacked Partition Herbs...”

Mu Jie immediately said, “Brother Di, these Stacked Partition Herbs have to be placed in a special ring. Otherwise, their medicinal properties will vanish.”

Di Jiu took out two rings and handed them to the two of them. “This is a ring that I have refined. It can store the Stacked Partition Herbs. Take out 100 of them and put them in the ring given by the Mission Hall. We obtained these Stacked Partition Herbs from the Chaos nest, so they are definitely different from the ones found at other places.”

Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao so after he had gained control of the law of the Stacked Partition Herbs, he had refined two rings before rushing out of Honeycomb Beach.

Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia, who were very aware of Di Jiu’s capabilities, did not decline.

...

Back when the three of them had left the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, they had exited through the West Gate and gone to Lackluster Ocean right afterward. Even though many cultivators would come and go, there was only one Illumination Array. After exiting the Illumination Array, one would come across the dark Lackluster Ocean Divine City.

At that moment, the three of them once again entered the Lackluster Ocean Divine City but saw several huge Illumination Arrays at the West Gate that illuminated the entire space.

What amazed them was that there was a huge square outside the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, where the sects were recruiting disciples from all over the place.

“What’s going on?” Mu Jie asked doubtfully.

Di Jiu understood after his Spiritual Force scanned the place. “News of the Chaos nest that appeared in the Lackluster Ocean must have spread. These sects wrote down their requirements for recruiting disciples clearly. They will only recruit people who have obtained Stacked Partition Herbs or First Evolution True Dew in the Chaos nest.”

Some sects only required one drop of First Evolution True Dew or 10 Honeycomb Beach Stacked Partition Herbs to join as an outer sect disciple. However, they required two drops of First Evolution True Dew or 100 Honeycomb Beach Stacked Partition Herbs to join their inner sect directly.

The First Evolution Dao Sect was a top-notch sect. Unexpectedly, anyone could join their inner sect as long as they had 100 Stacked Partition Herbs.

“Rumor has it that the First Evolution Dao Sect is one of the most top-notch sects. Since they also have the same requirements, I plan to join the First Evolution Dao Sect,” Zhuo Wujia immediately said.

Mu Jie, who had also seen the requirements for taking in disciples, said, “Same.”

Di Jiu nodded. “The First Evolution Dao Sect’s name is somewhat similar to the First Evolution True Dew produced by the Chaos nest so they are very likely to be a sect related to the Chaos nest. After both of you enter the First Evolution Dao Sect, it would be best to put the First Evolution True Dew in the ring that I have given you. There are a few small spaces in it that can store some precious items.”

A major sect like the First Evolution Dao Sect would not covet its disciples’ items. However, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie had seen the ring that Di Jiu had given each of them, which indeed had a few small spaces. Since both of them trusted Di Jiu very much and he had said so, they only nodded their heads, showing that they understood.

“Brother Di, what about you?” When Zhuo Wujia heard what Di Jiu had said, it seemed to him that he did not really want to join the First Evolution Dao Sect.

Di Jiu replied, “I’ll also pay the Stacked Partition Herbs the First Evolution Dao Sect is asking. My goal is to listen to the Dao discussion by the First Evolution Dao Sect Primordial Chaos Dao Master, Yan Yun.”

Now that they had a goal, the three of them did not bother handing in their mission at the Mission Hall. Instead, they went directly to the place where the First Evolution Dao Sect was taking in disciples.

Since they were taking in disciples this time entirely based on the items inside the Chaos nest, not many cultivators had come to inquire.

They might not necessarily accept them even without the Honeycomb Nest’s Stacked Partition Herbs.

“All of you came here from Honeycomb Beach?” When Di Jiu and the other two reached the area where the First Evolution Dao Sect was recruiting disciples, a cultivator in charge stood up and looked at them in surprise. Only a few cultivators had come out of the Chaos nest and not a single cultivator had come to inquire yet.

Di Jiu did not say anything. Since his cultivation level was the lowest at the moment, it was not appropriate for him to talk now.

Mu Jie took the initiative and replied, “Yes, Senior. We picked some Stacked Partition Herbs at Honeycomb Beach. We’ve admired the First Evolution Dao Sect for a long time so we came here right away when we saw that you were recruiting disciples.”

“How many Stacked Partition Herbs did you guys pick?” The cultivator in charge could not be any more surprised. “Did you manage to obtain any First Evolution True Dew?”

Mu Jie once again bowed. “We’ve indeed picked some Stacked Partition Herbs and both of us want to join the inner sect. May I ask how many Stacked Partition Herbs we will need?”

“You’ll need 100 Stacked Partition Herbs to join the inner sect. If you have one drop of First Evolution True Dew, you can choose a cultivation cave abode,” the cultivator in charge rapidly answered.

“I would like to ask something, Senior. I’ve heard that one can listen to Dao Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion with 100 Stacked Partition Herbs. Can I ask if that’s true?” Mu Jie asked on behalf of Di Jiu. Given her current standard, she supposed it would be very hard for her to understand the Dao Patriarch’s Dao discussion.

The cultivator in charge said with an ugly expression, “I know you guys must have gathered 100 Stacked Partition Herbs from the Chaos nest. Since we might very likely be members of the same sect in the future, I cannot deceive you. Patriarch Yan Yun is indeed going to have a Dao discussion. If you have 100 Stacked Partition Herbs, you can only listen to it outside the venue on the Array Formation Screen...”

Upon hearing this, Di Jiu’s heart sank.

Why was this called a Dao discussion? Besides listening to the Dao force of the participants, they could also sense their Dao rune aura. If he could not see the participants of the Dao discussion, then it would be meaningless to attend the discussion.

“Of course, if you pay over 200 Stacked Partition Herbs and two drops of First Evolution True Dews simultaneously, I will find a way to let you listen to Dao Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion inside the venue. However, you can only become an outer sect disciple this way unless your Stacked Partition Herbs exceed 300,” the cultivator in charge hurriedly added when he saw the disappointment on Mu Jie’s face.

Mu Jie took out a ring and said, “Senior, I’m Junior Mu Jie. I’ve only obtained 103 Stacked Partition Herbs and a drop of First Evolution True Dew. I won’t listen to the Dao discussion but I choose to be an inner sect disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect and pick a cave abode.”

Mu Jie was aware that it was extremely important to choose her own cave abode.

Zhuo Wujia also took out a ring. “Senior, I’m Junior Zhuo Wujia. I have 111 Stacked Partition Herbs and a drop of First Evolution True Dew. Just like Senior Sister Mu, I want to be an inner sect disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect and choose a cave abode.”

The cultivator in charge took the two rings and his Spiritual Force scanned them. He immediately took out two jade cards and engraved some information on them before handing them to Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie. “I’m Zhonghe, the person in charge of recruiting disciples in the First Evolution Dao Sect. Congratulations to both of you for becoming our inner sect disciples. This jade card is your identification jade card. It will be replaced when you reach the sect. Both of you can stand behind me for a moment. We will return to the sect in three days. Oh, that’s right. You can now take off your disguise. Nobody will dare cause you trouble now that you’re in the First Evolution Dao Sect.”

Ding Zhonghe’s tone revealed strong self-confidence. However, what he said was true. Nobody would dare cause trouble to the First Evolution Dao Sect.
