Chapter 590: Di Jiu’s Ranking

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was impossible, right? While An Tuning was still hesitating, her communication pearl once again rang with the same news.

The news also mentioned that since Di Jiu had entered the top 50, the First Evolution Dao Sect’s ranking had risen substantially as well. Wan Hexue had accused Di Jiu of cheating, which had led to him being investigated. In the end, the process Di Jiu used to refine pills was monitored for everyone to see and it was eventually proven that he had not cheated.

An Tuning could not bother looking for the Sect Master anymore. She turned and quickly rushed out, as she had to rush to the Great Age Elixir River immediately.

Could a genius Alchemy Master of the First Evolution Dao Sect who had entered the river have been unexpectedly discovered by An Tuning?

Furthermore, she definitely would not let Wan Hexue off.

For the sake of rushing to the Great Age Elixir River as quickly as possible, An Tuning even ignited some divine crystals to propel the flying boat.

...

There were still four more days left until the end of the elixir competition. Even though the spectating cultivators could not help admiring Di Jiu’s resilience, it took the other cultivators a long time to extract the Divine Essence Pill. They were dispirited, and their pill-refining speed was declining. Yu Hu, who had always placed first, also saw his speed of extracting the Divine Essence Pills weakening at this point.

Di Jiu was the only one who had not weakened. He maintained his speed just like before and extracted the Divine Essence Pills at a constant speed.

At the moment, Di Jiu ranked 32nd while the First Evolution Dao Sect ranked 71st.

On the last day of the Dao World Elixir River Competition, An Tuning arrived at the competition venue. She immediately saw that the First Evolution Dao Sect ranked 49th and had entered the top 50. Meanwhile, Di Jiu ranked 21st.

It was actually real. An Tuning’s scalp was numb from excitement. The First Evolution Dao Sect’s Alchemy Dao had always been unquestionable. Even though the First Evolution Dao Sect was one of the Five Major Sects, at each Great Age Elixir River Competition, they would at best only rank 116th. As for the Alchemy Master’s individual ranking, he always fell behind.

During this Great Age Elixir River Competition, the First Evolution Dao Sect had unexpectedly rushed into the top 100. No, that was not right. It was in the top 50. The Alchemy Master’s individual ranking was also going to reach the top 20.

An Tuning had never expected that she would be plotted against when she got her first opportunity. When she returned to the sect, she definitely would not let Wang Teng off easily.

“Valley Master An of the First Evolution Dao Sect is here.” Once An Tuning appeared at the competition venue, a cultivator saw her.

When Wan Hexue saw An Tuning approach, he subconsciously turned his head away. However, she did not let him off. She immediately drew her Dharma treasure and moved it towards him.

Even though Wan Hexue had known that An Tuning would provoke him, he had never thought that she would dare to make a move here. When he sensed the killing intent, An Tuning’s Dharma treasure approached him.

At that moment, Wan Hexue did not hesitate any further. He extended his body and escaped immediately.

Boom! Wan Hexue’s seat was broken into scraps.

“An Tuning, do you want the First Evolution Dao Sect and the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City to have a huge battle?” Wan Hexue, who had escaped, shouted with a livid expression.

An Tuning did not continue chasing after him. Instead, she said with an ice-cold face, “Is the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City that impressive? My sect isn’t scared of you.”

Wan Hexue did not say anything else, as he knew he had caused this. Things would have been better if Di Jiu had really cheated. He had been sure about sending the First Evolution Dao Sect into the abyss. However, it had been proven that Di Jiu had not cheated at all. The First Evolution Dao Sect stood by principles. Once they started to fight, the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City would definitely suffer a huge loss.

“Valley Master An, this is the Dao World Elixir River Competition. Please don’t casually make a move here,” an old man who had stood up said, sounding somewhat unhappy.

An Tuning replied with cupped fists, “Deacon Wang, when I was not around, Wan Hexue bullied the competing disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect. Thus, I was furious for a moment. Since you have said so, I naturally will not settle the score with him now. After the competition, my sect will settle the score with the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City slowly. Since it has been proven that my sect’s disciple did not cheat, please remove this surveillance screen.”

Deacon Wang only nodded his head. The organizers in charge of this matter were actually responsible. While the person in charge of the First Evolution Dao Sect had been absent, they had monitored Di Jiu’s competing process because of Wan Hexue’s words.

Now, they knew the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Alchemy Master Di Jiu had not cheated. However, the fact that the organizers had done this was an insult to the First Evolution Dao Sect.

An Tuning had come to smash Wan Hexue’s seat, so one could say that she was standing up a bit for Di Jiu. If someone else had come here and made a move, he would have killed him. Would he still have spoken nicely?

Since An Tuning had asked for the surveillance screen to be removed now, Deacon Wang had no reason not to do so. He waved his hand and immediately got someone to remove the surveillance on Di Jiu.

This surveillance screen had been monitoring him for a few days. It was evident that Di Jiu had not cheated. Therefore, when Deacon Wang removed the surveillance, nobody would say anything.

Although An Tuning was dissatisfied deep down, she could only do this. There were too many experts here. Even though the First Evolution Dao Sect was one of the Five Major Sects, they were not the top sect of the Dao World.

She had smashed Wan Hexue’s seat but she was in the right. As a matter of fact, the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City really did not fear the First Evolution Dao Sect.

...

Once the surveillance had been removed, Di Jiu sensed it. Then, he followed the same order and performed well on his last day.

So far, Di Jiu had not dared to casually scan the area with his Spiritual Force. He had obtained 100 million Divine Essence Pills, which was great wealth. As for whether he had reaped anything in the last few days, he did not care. The Elixir Qi above the Great Age Elixir River had clearly thinned a lot.

The Dao World’s Elixir River Competition obviously had not consumed all the Elixir Qi in the Great Age Elixir River and left nothing behind. This was why the competition lasted a month.

After this elixir competition ended, he would have to leave the First Evolution Dao Sect. Since his name had been revealed, regardless of whether Xu Baishang sensed it, he still believed that he should not stay in the First Evolution Dao Sect.

Although the First Evolution Dao Sect might not be afraid of Xu Baishang, they probably would not value an outer sect disciple like him. It would be best to take control of his own life.

As Di Jiu was planning his cultivation path afterward, a loud and clear voice shouted, “Time is up! Everyone, please stop condensing Divine Essence Pills and leave the Elixir River. Otherwise, your result will be forfeited.”

Nobody dared to ignore this voice. Di Jiu immediately stopped condensing the Divine Essence Pills. He had not wanted to condense the Divine Essence Pills mechanically but he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

Approximately 2,000 Alchemy Masters walked out of the Elixir River. Di Jiu was among the crowd but he was not eye-catching.

Apart from him, nobody else had dared to take away the Divine Essence Pills in secret. Everyone clearly knew that it was suicide to do so.

Even though Di Jiu had taken 100 million Divine Essence Pills, he was not surprised at all. He had stored them in the Ninth World, sure that it would not be discovered.

This proved that Di Jiu had guessed correctly. When he passed by the Inspection Dharma Array, nothing seemed to be wrong.

Di Jiu handed over the ring that contained the Divine Essence Pills and took it back. He then returned to the square with the other competing Alchemy Masters.

20th place? Di Jiu was stunned upon seeing his ranking. According to the individual ranking, he had condensed 1,190,000 Divine Essence Pills and ranked 20th.

He really had not used all his strength to condense the Divine Essence Pills, yet he had entered the top 20?

Not only had he made the top 20 of the individual ranking, but the First Evolution Dao Sect had also reached the 49th place.

However, the 48th in rank had far surpassed the First Evolution Dao Sect, who had condensed 1,190,000 Divine Essence Pills. The 48th in rank had condensed 1,810,000 Divine Essence Pills. At first place, the Divine Rich Elixir Sect had condensed over 10 million Divine Essence Pills, reaching 11,360,000.

Very impressive. Di Jiu gasped in some cold air and immediately saw the first-in-rank Alchemy Master on the individual ranking. Yu Hu had condensed nearly 7,000,000 Divine Essence Pills without using a Dharma Array. This fellow was really a machine. In addition, the three contestants from the Divine Rich Elixir Sect had all entered the top 20.
