Chapter 580: Who Is He?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ha ha ha... The Vast Ruins are boundless. One might be killed by the nomological whirlpool or the Five-Element Beasts’ claws if one is not careful. Since I, Bai Changyi, have this capability, I naturally dare not be the person with the strongest survival capabilities in the Vast Ruins.” An extremely clear voice rang out as a slender, distinctly handsome man came from the entrance.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Changyi!” Many cultivators in the hall greeted him one after another.

“Big Brother Changyi, you’re finally here. I’ve waited so long for you.” The charming woman who had talked to Mo Yejiu earlier seemed full of admiration as she walked quickly toward the handsome male cultivator.

After this man greeted the cultivators in a dramatic manner, he then walked over to Mo Yejiu and said with cupped fists, “I heard that Brother Mo had just returned from the Vast Ruins. I think that Brother Mo’s survival experience must be much greater than mine.”

Mo Yejiu faintly replied, “I can’t be compared to you.”

Bai Changyi was stunned. He had thought that since Mo Yejiu had said that he was not the strongest survivor of the Vast Ruins, he must have gained some survival experience there to think that he had surpassed Bai Changyi. However, after hearing Mo Yejiu’s words today, Bai Changyi knew he had guessed wrong.

Bai Changyi said, “Brother Mo, can I ask if an expert appeared recently that I don’t know of?”

Since Mo Yejiu was not affected by Bai Changyi, he calmly replied, “I’m talking about a disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect.”

“Thank you, Brother Mo, for thinking highly of the First Evolution Dao Sect. However, I believe that if we are talking about survival capabilities in the Vast Ruins, I, Jin Zhuohang, can’t be compared to Brother Changyi.” A man in yellow clothes walked over.

Many cultivators knew him. He was the top genius of the First Evolution Dao Sect, Jin Zhuohang. He was also a personal disciple of Primordial Chaos expert Yan Yun.

Wherever this genius expert went, all eyes were on him. Since Mo Yejiu had said that a cultivator of the same cultivation realm in the First Evolution Dao Sect was stronger than Bai Changyi, nobody other than Jin Zhuohang came to anyone’s mind.

At that moment, Jin Zhuohang took the initiative to walk over and say that he could not be compared to Bai Changyi in the Vast Ruins. Not only would this not tarnish his reputation, but it would also showcase his magnanimity.

Everyone glanced at Mo Yejiu. Mo Yejiu actually did not like flattering people. Plus, given Mo Yejiu’s status, he was not any weaker than Jin Zhuohang. Therefore, there was no need for him to flatter Jin Zhuohang. Mo Yejiu’s earlier words had seemed to be flattering Jin Zhuohang but had been rejected by Jin Zhuohang relentlessly.

Nobody knew why Mo Yejiu had said all this, as it was simply unrewarding.

Mo Yejiu’s expression did not change as he said in his usual tone, “I was not talking about you.”

Jin Zhuohang’s expression turned ugly. Wasn’t he basically slapping him on the spot by saying this? Who else in the First Evolution Dao Sect could be compared to the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City’s Bai Changyi apart from Jin Zhuohang?

Jin Zhuohang was the top of the First Evolution Dao Sect after all. He quickly restored his expression to normal and faintly replied, “I think I was the one who raised his status. Since it’s not me, then is it Junior Brother Tu Su? Or Junior Brother Shao Rongqin? Or Junior Sister Ming Yueyan?”

Before Mo Yejiu could speak this time, a clear, exquisite voice came through. “Senior Brother Jin, I think that Senior Brother Mo is not talking about us. Since this cultivator can survive in the Vast Ruins, he can at least arrive in the Hidden Sacred Hall. Senior Brother Mo, am I correct?”

Following those words, a woman in light yellow clothes walked over.

“Greetings, Senior Sister Yu!”

“Fairy Qianxi!”

When the woman in light yellow walked over, almost everyone came forward to greet her. Everyone knew her, as she was the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Saintess, Yu Qianxi.

Not only was Yu Qianxi a Saintess of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, but she was also publicly known as the top beauty of this generation.

Even Mo Yejiu, who did not care much about anything external, was also temporarily despondent when he saw her walk over. This was simply because Yu Qianxi was so beautiful. Her figure was simply the most beautiful masterpiece of the Creator, nothing more or less.

On her pretty face she was wearing a thin scarf that only revealed her eyes, as though she could see deeply into one’s heart. Nobody dared to look straight at her, no matter how confident they were.

She greeted them one by one before she told Mo Yejiu as she bowed slightly, “Senior Brother Mo, can you tell me who he is?”

What she meant was that two out of the three people that Jin Zhuohang had mentioned could not come up to the Hidden Sacred Hall. Thus, they could not be the person Mo Yejiu had mentioned.

Mo Yejiu came back to his senses. When he was about to speak, Jin Zhuohang laughed. “Mo Yejiu, don’t tell me it’s someone at the second-step Dao Validation? Even if he managed to enter the third level, I’m afraid he wouldn’t do it any easier than us.”

Everyone knew what Jin Zhuohang meant. A cultivator at the second-step Dao Validation naturally could only be compared to them, who had entered the first and second levels of the Vast Ruins, if he entered the third level.

Mo Yejiu glanced at Jin Zhuohang and suddenly felt hatred fill his heart. If it was not for the sect, he really would not have attended the Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion. He would rather put himself to the test and cultivate alone freely.

However, when he saw Yu Qianxi’s anticipation, he did not refuse. He only said calmly, “Fairy Qianxi, you’re right. It’s not these people. I only know that he is a disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect. As for what kind of disciple, I don’t know. At least I’m sure that he’s not in the second-step Dao Validation.”

“Can you tell me his name?” Yu Qianxi asked with even more anticipation.

She knew Mo Yejiu’s personality well, and he was not a cultivator who liked to spout nonsense casually. Since Mo Yejiu had said that this cultivator was more suited for survival in the Vast Ruins than Bai Changyi, then it might be true.

Mo Yejiu hesitated for a while before shaking his head. “I regard him as a friend, so I can’t casually say his name out loud without his permission.”

In fact, Mo Yejiu would have regretted it if he had said that Di Jiu was a member of the First Evolution Dao Sect.

Everyone here was haughty and did not care about anyone else. Once they spread the news that Di Jiu was stronger than Bai Changyi, it would be akin to drawing hatred to Di Jiu.

Yu Qianxi, who had seen that Mo Yejiu seemed to have drawn part of this hatred, said, “Since almost everyone is here, let’s start the Dao discussion. Senior Brother Changyi came from the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City and his Dao force is above mine. How about we let Senior Brother Changyi start it off?”

When Yu Qianxi spoke, everyone agreed one after another. Regardless of whether the cultivator that Mo Yejiu had mentioned was real or not, they had come here for the Dao discussion and could not lose sight of this important goal.

...

Di Jiu struggled to climb out of a dark brown basin. His chest was filled with blood, and a deep bloody wound had been cut from his shoulder to his chest, almost hacking apart his arms.

Ever since he had entered the second level, the injuries on him had not completely vanished.

Di Jiu also knew that, apart from the formidable Five-Element Beasts on the second level, this was also due to his inexperience. Otherwise, he would not have constantly encountered all sorts of formidable Five-Element Beasts.

However, Di Jiu did not care. After all, he had come here to put himself to the test. Without the formidable Five-Element Beasts, he would have been disappointed.

In the Vast Ruins, his cultivation level was rapidly rising all the time, and so did the materials on him.

The only thing he needed was to enter the second level of the Vast Ruins for some time. It was a pity that he had not found any nomological fragments yet.

After resting for half a day, Di Jiu once again got up and tracked the location where the Heaven Earth Law fragments were the most concentrated.

Di Jiu knew very well that if he wanted to break through to the Dao Birth Realm, he would probably not do so. Without reaching the Dao Birth Realm, he certainly could not enter the fourth level. In that case, he could enter the third level of the Vast Ruins.

Apart from entering the third level of the Vast Ruins to search for all sorts of Five-Element nomological materials, he also wanted to find some pieces of nomological fragments.
