Ninth In the World

Chapter 656: Arriving in the Void City

In fact, even though Di Jiu had yet to arrive in the Void City, his goal had been achieved after he reached the Primordial Dao Realm.

Since he was here, he naturally had to take a look inside. He wanted to see whether the third step existed in the Void City.

The Void City had been bustling recently and countless cultivators rushed there because the most valuable Dao Fruit Pagoda in the Void City was about to start.

Di Jiu stopped the flying boat outside the Void City and Ding Chi shouted in amazement, “What a magnificent place! The Dark Red Sacred Dao City is nothing compared to the Void City.”

Di Jiu understood what Ding Chi meant. There was no white jade passageway or square at the entrance of the Void City. However, there was a boundless Void Pier before the Void City where all sorts of top-notch flying Dharma treasures stopped.

Countless cultivators constantly entered and exited the Void City. There were cultivators from all sorts of clans, and many of them looked strange.

Di Jiu put away the flying boat and entered the Void City with Ding Chi and Lightning. He could immediately sense an extremely rich Heaven Earth Essence Energy here, and the Heaven Earth Law was clearer than in other places.

He really had not expected to see such a city in the void.

“Brother Di, there are many clans here,” Ding Chi whispered to Di Jiu.

He was not bad considering his Dao Transformation strength. He had just entered the Void City and seen many people with a more powerful cultivation than him.

Di Jiu nodded but did not say anything. Then, an abrupt sound was heard. “Are you selling this demon beast? I like this demon beast a lot. Why don’t you let me have it?”

A tall, blue-haired man stood before Di Jiu, making Di Jiu stop. He could sense that this fellow was a Dao Transformation cultivator at most and had a strange aura. He was clearly not from the Human Clan.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned this blue-haired man and he was very soon certain that this fellow should be from the Demon Clan.

“I’m not selling it,” Di Jiu answered without hesitation.

The blue-haired man, who could not see through Di Jiu’s true cultivation, snorted. His frantic domain aura crushed Di Jiu.

Di Jiu was indignant. He pushed his domain over and the blue-haired cultivator’s domain was torn into scraps before he snorted. “Get lost.”

A mere Dao Transformation cultivator had still dared to make him sell his beast companion.

Di Jiu did not know whether he could kill someone at will in the Void City. However, since a Dao Transformation cultivator had provoked him, it was reasonable to kill him.

Di Jiu, who planned to kill this fellow the moment he made a move, had not expected the blue-haired man to sense that Di Jiu should not be provoked. The man did not continue speaking and turned to flee instead.

“What an arrogant Dao Transformation cultivator.” Ding Chi scanned the blue-haired man’s figure in disdain.

Before Di Jiu could speak, a voice said, “The two of you should quickly leave the Void City. The fellow who left is called Zhuge Jiao. He holds a high position in the Demon Clan.”

A middle-aged woman had sent the voice transmission while lowering her head. Even though she left in a hurry after saying that, Di Jiu still managed to find her. She clearly was very afraid of Zhuge Jiao from the Demon Clan, so Di Jiu did not call out to her.

“Let’s go. We should find a place to stay first.” Di Jiu did not have any intention of leaving the Void City.

He had scanned the city with his Spiritual Force just now and believed there should be Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors there. As for whether they could make him flee, Di Jiu had yet to sense this.

“Friend, you’re bold if you offended Zhuge Jiao. You’d even dare enter the Void City to find a place to stay. He he...” After Di Jiu had finished speaking, another voice transmission came. However, this was not a voice transmission.

A skinny man in blue clothes with a very pointed head had spoken. Although Di Jiu did not know what clan this cultivator belonged to, he was certain that he was not from the Human Clan.

“You still dare to talk to me after I offended someone this ruthless? Aren’t you scared of being implicated?” Di Jiu looked at the skinny man in blue in confusion.

The skinny man chuckled. “Even though I look like I have a low cultivation, nobody can stop me if I really want to leave.”

Di Jiu sized up this skinny man. Speaking of cultivation, this fellow should be just at the late-stage Dao Transformation. However, Di Jiu did not think that he was bragging. He had a kind of spatial Dao rune fluctuation all over him that seemed like it would vanish in space at any time. It looked like this fellow had a very powerful escape technique that was largely related to space.

Upon seeing Di Jiu size him up, the skinny man cupped his fists. “I’m Xu Xun from the Wing Clan.”

The Wing Clan? Di Jiu seemed to know this clan. He’d heard that they had the most powerful escape technique.

He did not know why Xu Xun was searching for him but he replied with cupped fists, “I’m Di Jiu from the Human Clan.”

“Brother Di, I’ve always wandered around the Void City but I’m sure I have not met you. I’m actually very curious. Are you not afraid of Zhuge Jiao, even though you just arrived in the Void City?” Xu Xun looked at Di Jiu with curiosity in his eyes.

Theoretically, a newcomer who had just arrived in the Void City would ask around without hesitation, no matter who stopped him. However, although Di Jiu had offended the Demon Clan’s Zhuge Jiao, he was not afraid at all and was still searching for an inn to stay. This was a rare sight.

Di Jiu did not know whether to cry or laugh. This fellow had searched for him just because he was curious. He could only answer innocently, “I don’t even know that person. He wanted to buy my beast companion, but I was unwilling to sell it. Don’t tell me people buy and sell things by force here? Rejecting someone isn’t allowed? Since it’s a business transaction, both parties have to agree to it. If he wanted to harm someone just because he wasn’t willing to sell his things, what about the laws?”

“It’s that simple?” Xu Xun looked at Di Jiu flabbergasted. Since there were laws in the Void City, he simply wanted to use his Spiritual Force to scan Di Jiu’s head to see whether it was abnormal.

Di Jiu looked at Xu Xun in shock. “Yes, it’s that simple.”

Xu Xun let out a sigh and said in a low voice, “Friend, I don’t know if you really think like that. If you do, I can only tell you to leave quickly.”

Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Xu Xun. “What do you mean?”

Xu Xun chuckled. “The Demon Clan has great powers in the Void City, and Zhuge Jiao is an important person in that clan. He can easily call a few Primordial Dao experts or even Primordial Chaos experts over to teach you a lesson.”

Di Jiu frowned. “Don’t tell me there aren’t any experts in the Human Clan?”

Xu Xun glanced at Di Jiu in shock. After some time, he asked, “Are you perhaps not from the Sacred Dao World?”

“I’m not. I’ve heard of the Sacred Dao World but have yet to go there. I entered seclusion somewhere else before coming to the Void City.” Di Jiu spoke truthfully.

“No wonder.” Xu Xun sighed and then added, “A long time ago, there were indeed no experts from the Human Clan in the Void City. They were oppressed by the other clans so that they did not even have the right to enter the Dao Fruit Pagoda. Later on, Sacred Emperor Ye of the Human Clan crushed many experts from the Demon Clan, the Sea Clan, and other clans by force. This allowed the Human Clan to have a foothold in the Void City. After Sacred Emperor Ye restored the Sacred Dao World, Primordial Chaos experts emerged endlessly in the Sacred Dao World. Even though they were not considered the strongest among the different clans, nobody dared to provoke them.”

Di Jiu said in surprise, “In that case, why should I still be scared? Even if Zhuge Jiao of the Demon Clan dared to do anything to me, don’t tell me he wouldn’t fear the experts of the Human Clan?”

Xu Xun looked at Di Jiu speechlessly and replied, “The Void Realm we are in includes the Void City, which is only a corner of the vast universe...”

Di Jiu recalled Xu Baishang’s words and hurriedly interrupted him. “I heard that the third step exists in the Void City.”

“He he...” Xu Xun chuckled. “Do you think the third step is a piece of cake? The third step is rumored to exist. The Sacred Dao World’s Sacred Emperor Ye knows and he went to the realm of the third step. I heard that there is a Teleportation Array in the Sacred Dao World that leads to the void of the third step. Unfortunately, this doesn’t concern us. Not everyone can get on that Teleportation Array. By using that Teleportation Array, the true experts of the Sacred Dao World went to the even more powerful Void Realm to seek the third step.

As for the Void City, even though many Human Clan cultivators came, most of them are Itinerant Cultivators or come from small sects. It has been many years since cultivators of the Human Clan came over. Over a long time, the position of the Human Clan in the Void City has become less important. Thanks to Sacred Emperor Ye’s fame, nobody dares to push around the cultivators of the Human Clan openly. However, anyone can find many excuses at any time to deal with an Itinerant Cultivator.”

Upon hearing that there was no third step in the Void City and Xu Xun, who was before him, did not have a clear understanding of it, Di Jiu felt somewhat disappointed. Without the presence of the third step, nobody here should be able to threaten him apart from those who were at the Dao Integration.

“Brother Xu, may I ask if there are any Dao Integration experts here?” Di Jiu asked.

Xu Xun snorted. “Would any Dao Integration experts stay in the Void City? The Void City is the best place to reach the Primordial Dao Realm through Dao Transformation. Primordial Chaos experts will not stay here for long, not to mention Dao Integration experts. He he... The person who came to cause you trouble is here. I’ll leave first.”

After saying this last sentence, Xu Xun vanished without a trace. Even Di Jiu had not sensed how he did that.
