Ninth In The World Chapter 722 - Birds of the Same Feather

Chapter 722: Birds of the Same Feather

“Ah Jiu, this is Peach Blossom Divine Dock’s Wen Ruoxi. You can just call her Senior Sister Wen.” Yin Yueshu did not treat Di Jiu coldly and instead introduced Wen Ruoxi to him.

Di Jiu cupped his fists before Wen Ruoxi and said with a smile, “Greetings, Fairy Ruoxi.”

Should he call her Senior Sister Wen Ruoxi? He he… He had no relations.h.i.+p with her and her cultivation level was lower than his. Just because she was older than him by tens of thousands of years, did he have to call her Senior Sister?

Upon hearing Di Jiu not call her Senior Sister but Fairy Ruoxi, Wen Ruoxi looked at Di Jiu in astonishment. Then, she said with a sweet smile, “Sister Yueshu, Ah Jiu, let’s go in together. Maybe we’re the last ones.”

Yin Yueshu did not say anything regarding Di Jiu’s opinions. If Di Jiu had not been an opinionated person, she would not have let him replace the guy she had hit to death. Of course, she had asked Di Jiu to come along. In addition to replacing the emptiness and loss in her heart, there were more important things she had not figured out yet.

Two welcoming female cultivators welcomed them and led the three of them into the Winter Valley.

It was ice-cold inside the Winter Valley because there were Three Plants of Winter everywhere.

While they were pa.s.sing through the outer array, a winding staircase that led to the sky appeared before Di Jiu. These steps seemed to lead directly to the depths of the clouds. Despite his Spiritual Force, he could scan only some blurry images.

When they stepped on these steps, the plants on both sides finally changed. They were no longer pine trees, bamboo, and plum blossoms. Instead, there were rows of Spirit-Gathering Divine Trees. The higher they walked up, the richer Divine Spirit Qi.

After walking for nearly one hour, they stopped outside the palace.

When the female cultivator who led the way used her jade card to open the door, Wen Ruoxi, who was standing beside Di Jiu, suddenly looked at him and said, “You’re very honest.”

Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Wen Ruoxi. He had not said or done anything, so how could she know that he was honest?

Yin Yueshu smiled slightly and explained, “Ah Jiu, Sister Ruoxi means that when you were at the steps here, you did not scan the whole place with your Spiritual Force. That’s why she said you were honest.”

Di Jiu was left very speechless. He had scanned the place with his Spiritual Force, but the Spiritual Force of Wen Ruoxi and Yin Yueshu were far too inferior to his in terms of intensity and solidity. It would be strange if they could sense his Spiritual Force scanning the whole place.

Once the palace door opened, the three of them followed the female cultivator into the hall, where dozens of people were present.

“Sister Yin Yueshu is here. Sister Ruoxi, why are you here with her?” A woman whose appearance was not any worse than Yin Yueshu’s welcomed them. Behind her were dozens of people.

What shocked Di Jiu was that these people did not seem to be very old. However, they were terrifyingly strong. Even though n.o.body had attained the Primordial Chaos Realm like Yin Yueshu, there were a few people at the half-step Primordial Chaos. Most of them were at the mid-stage or late-stage Primordial Dao.

As expected, birds of the same feather flocked together. The gathering was held there probably because they were a batch of the most top-notch people in the Great Ultimate Realm.

Standing aside, Di Jiu waited for Yin Yueshu to greet these cultivators.

When she greeted these people, Yin Yueshu seemed to think of Di Jiu. Thus, she took the initiative to say, “Ah Jiu, come here. I’ll introduce you.”

Everyone seemed to look at Di Jiu and nod their heads one after another.

“Ah Jiu, this is the Winter Valley’s Su Nuo, who is the only personal disciple of the Valley Master. You should call her Senior Sister.” The first person that Yin Yueshu introduced to Di Jiu was a woman whose appearance was not inferior to Yin Yueshu’s. Her traits even beat Yin Yueshu slightly.

“No, I should call him Senior Brother Ah Jiu. Greetings, Senior Brother.” Su Nuo took the initiative to bow before Di Jiu, sounding extremely modest and polite.

Di Jiu returned the bow as his gaze scanned the female servant holding a tray, who was behind Su Nuo. In his opinion, this female cultivator was even more perfect than Su Nuo. Despite her ordinary looks, hidden Green Qi covered her face.

This female servant seemed to have a very low cultivation level, as she was only at the early-stage Dao Birth. However, in Di Jiu’s opinion, her cultivation level was definitely not at the early-stage Dao Birth. She actually had the highest cultivation level there⁠. She was at the late-stage Primordial Chaos or maybe even stronger.

Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the Green Qi on the female cultivator’s face. It was somewhat strange, as it did not seem to be man-made.

Upon seeing Di Jiu size up the female servant beside her, Su Nuo smiled and said, “Ah Jiu, I thought you were pursuing Sister Yueshu. Looking at my female servant like this is not very polite. However, she doesn’t look very beautiful because something went wrong with her cultivation. Otherwise, she would have been as beautiful as me. Her cultivation is also not at the Dao Birth. She is a late-stage Dao Transformation cultivator.”

Di Jiu sneered. Dao Transformation? Even Su Nuo was nothing before her.

Since that female servant could also sense Di Jiu’s gaze, she took the initiative to bow slightly. “Lou Xiaoshuang greets you, Brother Jiu.”

Di Jiu returned the bow and did not say anything. So what if the other party recovered her late-stage Primordial Chaos or even Dao Integration strength? He did not care.

“Ah Jiu, these two are Senior Brother Xi Xili and Senior Brother Xun Chenzi from the Thousand Lake Sword Villa and the Divine Corral River Sacred Dao Sect respectively. You should ask them for guidance.” Yin Yueshu interrupted Di Jiu and Lou Xiaoshuang’s chance to talk and once again introduced people to him.

They were two more half-step Primordial Chaos cultivators. Di Jiu silently thought that the Thousand Lake Sword Villa and the Divine Corral River Sacred Dao Sect were definitely top-notch major sects. Xi Xili, who was wearing white, was handsome and elegant, had a jade flute pinned at his waist, and looked very free and easy-going. However, Xun Chenzi looked more unsophisticated.

“Ha ha!” Xi Xili laughed and told Di Jiu with cupped fists, “Daoist Ah Jiu, you don’t have to ask us for guidance. Instead, we should be asking for guidance on how to follow Fairy Yueshu.”

This sounded a bit sarcastic to Di Jiu, but it seemed to be justified when Xi Xili said it.

Di Jiu sighed silently. The prestige of the Moon Traverse Divine Hall Master was nothing. If Hall Master Ren Jisha’s prestige was more valiant, would these fellows dare to joke around like this? After all, Yin Yueshu was also his daughter-in-law.

Even though Yin Yueshu was still introducing him, Di Jiu was in no mood to continue listening to her. He just went along with her respectfully.

Some people Yin Yueshu did not know also came forward to introduce themselves.

Amid this polite atmosphere, more than an hour pa.s.sed.

After waiting for everyone’s introductions to be over, Su Nuo said, “Since everyone is here, let’s have a Dao discussion. After that, we’ll proceed to the Dao exchange. When we are done with all these things, I suppose the Great Ultimate mystic area will also open. Then, we’ll enter together to look for opportunities.”

Actually, they had come for the Great Ultimate mystic area and he wondered what kind of place it was. It could not be a simple place since so many half-step Primordial Chaos and late-stage Primordial Dao cultivators had gathered over there.

“Ah Jiu, come with me. You have a low cultivation level, so you’ll gain something by listening.” Yin Yueshu, who seemed to take good care of Di Jiu, asked him to follow her.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand and said, “Since I have a low cultivation level, I won’t understand even if you guys have a Dao discussion. I’ll stay here and wait.”

Yin Yueshu hesitated and answered, “Very well. If you get anxious waiting, you can come in to look for me at any time.”

No matter what, Yin Yueshu was considered a gentle, virtuous woman who was not self-centered and always took care of Di Jiu.

Everyone had been polite to Di Jiu only because of his relations.h.i.+p with Yin Yueshu. Now that she went in, n.o.body stayed behind to talk to him anymore. After everyone entered the inner hall to have a Dao discussion, he found a seat but discovered that besides the surrounding welcoming female cultivators, Lou Xiaoshuang, who was the female servant by Su Nuo’s side, had not left unexpectedly.

Not only had she not left, but she also took the initiative to approach Di Jiu. She bowed before him and asked softly, “Brother Ah Jiu, can I ask you a question?”
