Chapter 688 - The Union Master of the Sacred Dao Union

Chapter 688: The Union Master of the Sacred Dao Union

For a cultivator in the Primordial Dao Realm, more than a year passed in the blink of an eye. Di Jiu consumed all the Primordial Dao fruits in his hands the day when the Dao Fruit Pagoda opened.

He was still lamenting that time was too priceless when he exited seclusion. At first, he wanted to spend more than a year blacksmithing and practicing alchemy. Now, he listened to Tang Xitan’s words and did not advance his Dao fire. Thus, he did not choose to practice blacksmithing. He spent more than a year to advance to a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.

Regardless of whether the time he spent on alchemy was extended because the Dao fruits were limited or because it was already difficult to advance to a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, Di Jiu grew increasingly anxious. In any case, after the opening of the Dao Fruit Pagoda Conference, he had to leave the Void City as soon as possible to find a place to enter seclusion.

...

“Brother Di, the Dao Fruit Pagoda is about to open soon. I got a place to enter it that was given to me by Senior Sister Xitan. I’m about to go there.” When Ding Chi, who had been waiting outside, saw Di Jiu come out, he immediately stepped forward and spoke to him excitedly.

It was no wonder that Ding Chi was excited. Obtaining a place in the Dao Fruit Pagoda was not simple. Entering the Dao Fruit Pagoda meant getting extremely precious Dao fruits. Such a place had already been sold for a sky-high price. Tang Xitan was a Primordial Chaos expert of the Phoenix Clan that could provide a place to Ding Chi completely because of Di Jiu.

“Let’s go. We’ll go in and get some top-notch Dao fruits. If you can get your hands on the Heaven Essence Fruits, I’ll help you refine them into Heaven Essence Dao Pills.” Di Jiu patted Ding Chi’s shoulder and spoke with a smile.

Ding Chi stared straight at Di Jiu. “Brother Di, are you really a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint?”

He had always thought that Di Jiu was a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint, not a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. In fact, even if he was a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint, he was extremely heaven-defying. In the void of this universe, not many Dao Transformation Alchemy Saints existed. As for Primordial Dao Alchemy Saints, it was extremely difficult to meet even one.

“That’s right, I am a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.” Di Jiu was very satisfied that he had obtained dozens of Primordial Dao Fruits from Ji Hongsen and the others. Otherwise, if he’d wanted to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint now, he would probably have had to wait until the end of the Dao Fruit Pagoda.

Di Jiu was deeply aware of the difficulties of advancing to a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. He could dream about making use of the Dao fruits of other people to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint during the Dao Fruit Pagoda period. Indeed, it had taken him more than a year to become a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint from a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint. However, this did not imply that other people could do the same within one year. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and had even condensed his top-notch nomological world, the Ninth World, which proved he was superior to everyone.

After confirming that Di Jiu was a Primordial Dao Sacred Emperor, Ding Chi rubbed his hands vigorously. He wished he could go to the Dao Fruit Pagoda immediately and obtain a bunch of Primordial Dao Fruits. If Primordial Dao Fruits were precious, then Primordial Dao Pills were imperceptible.

...

When Di Jiu brought Lightning and Ding Chi to the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square, the place was already packed with people.

Ding Chi was indifferent. After the Dao Fruit Pagoda opened, he only needed to enter it. Di Jiu wanted to find a booth that was not at the back, as he wanted to acquire Dao fruits.

However, the booths were all occupied, making Di Jiu feel somewhat helpless.

Di Jiu scanned the area with his Spiritual Force and very soon found a prominent place. A huge sign hung here, stating: Void Booth Elixir Dispensary that acquires Dao fruits. In addition to this line of words, below it was information about exchanging various Dao fruits for Dao pills. However, the highest Dao pill was only the Dao Transformation Pill.

Di Jiu immediately walked over, as he saw a familiar face at the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary.

Fan Yuan saw Di Jiu approaching from afar. If he’d known that Di Jiu would come to find him, he would definitely not have stood outside the Elixir Dispensary.

Fan Yuan hoped that Di Jiu was not looking for him, so he hurriedly entered the elixir dispensary shop. He just hoped that Di Jiu would not find him and would let him have peace. If there was anyone he feared in this void, it would be undoubtedly Di Jiu. Di Jiu ranked among the top few people that he did not want to meet.

Had it not been for the recent standstill of the Demon Clan’s power, the crisis of the realm at hand, and the fact that he had specially arranged for people to search for the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit for the sake of the Demon Clan’s power, he would not personally have come to the Dao Fruit Pagoda.

“Who are you looking for?” As soon as Di Jiu arrived at the entrance of the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary, a Dao Transformation cultivator from the Demon Clan stopped him.

Di Jiu replied with cupped fists, “I heard that Daoist Fan is here. I wanted to ask you to share a bit of territory, so I was about to...”

Before Di Jiu had finished speaking, he was reprimanded by a harsh voice. “Stop right there.”

A thin, tall man with triangular eyes and thin hair walked over at a fast pace and stopped Di Jiu .

This fellow had a cultivation level at the early-stage Primordial Dao and a gloomy, cold gaze. Therefore, Di Jiu was not very fond of him.

“What’s the matter?” Di Jiu’s tone was a bit cold. He did not make a move because the thin-haired man was a cultivator of the Human Clan.

Most of the cultivators of the Human Clan that Di Jiu had met in the Void City had a first-step cultivation, and not many of them had attained the Primordial Dao Realm.

The thin-haired Primordial Dao cultivator ignored Di Jiu but said respectfully with cupped fists to the Primordial Dao cultivator of the Demon Clan guarding the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary, “Brother Kuang, this outsider is not a cultivator of the Sacred Dao Union. He is probably unaware of the rules, so I will take him away immediately. Please forgive me, Brother Kuang.”

The Dao Transformation cultivator of the Demon Clan scanned Di Jiu obliquely and then stared at the thin-haired Primordial Dao cultivator while saying, “Daoist Heng, I hope this will only happen once. Don’t let it happen again.”

“I promise it won’t happen again. This person must have just arrived in the Void City...” The cultivator, whose surname was Heng, explained quickly.

Then, the cultivator turned to stare coldly at Di Jiu. “You just arrived in the Void City, right? Who told you that the cultivators of the Human Clan need not register at the Sacred Dao Union upon arriving here? What gave you the guts?”

“Who are you?” Di Jiu did not budge.

Cultivator Heng snorted and his Primordial Dao domain shrouded Di Jiu. When Di Jiu was about to make a move, a cultivator in gray hurriedly rushed over to bow before cultivator Heng. He told him in a humble tone, “Union Master Heng, Daoist Di just arrived in the Void City and doesn’t know that the Human Clan should register at the Sacred Dao Union. Union Master Heng, please be magnanimous. Don’t mind him.”

When cultivator Heng saw the male cultivator in gray clothing, he frowned and faintly replied, “Luan Wenxing, I haven’t settled the score with you.”

Di Jiu also recognized Luan Wenxing, whose cultivation partner was Ji Lingzhu, and wondered if they had come here together. Di Jiu scanned the area slightly with his Spiritual Force and saw that Ji Lingzhu was not far away.

“Daoist Luan, why are you back?” Di Jiu asked in confusion. He knew that Luan Wenxing and his cultivation partner, Ji Lingzhu, had been forced to leave the Void City because of a Heaven Essence Fruit.

“Brother Di, we’ll talk about this later.” Luan Wenxing then cupped his fists once again before cultivator Heng. “Union Master Heng, Daoist Kan’s place in the Dao Fruit Pagoda was indeed exchanged somewhere else. I can be sure about that...”

Without waiting for Luan Wenxing to finish speaking, cultivator Heng once again snorted. “You don’t have to teach me what to do, Heng Siyue. Are you the Union Master of the Sacred Dao Union? You have to be in charge of everything, right? Not only did Kan Zitong come out of the Sacred Dao World, but she was also tyrannical in the Void City. She tarnished the reputation of the Sacred Dao World and even treated the other clans with hostility. This is not just about her place in the Dao Fruit Pagoda. I imprisoned her because...”

Kan Zitong? Di Jiu immediately remembered this name. She was a middle-aged woman. When he had first entered the Void City, Kan Zitong had warned him.

Kan Zitong acted with care. Di Jiu would not believe that Kan Zitong was arrogant or that she had offended the other clans.

Di Jiu was furious upon hearing that Heng Siyue had imprisoned Kan Zitong.

“Ha ha... Brother Di, I really didn’t notice you were here. Please come in quickly.” After being held up at the entrance of the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary for so long, no matter how thick-skinned Fan Yuan was, he could not pretend not to know. Thus, he could only walk out and interrupt Heng Siyue with his words.
