Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Di Jiu sensed an even more perfected Heaven Earth Law, he did not say anything. However, Zhuo Wujia said with a sigh, “We finally arrived in the true Dao World today.”

Di Jiu had to agree with what Zhuo Wujia had said. This should be the place they were going to, not the Wormhole.

There were no guards in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. However, there was a gate with Dao pattern fluctuations with a circumference of a few dozen feet. Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia took their cards and walked through the gate. The cards in both their hands emitted a faint ripple which opened the gate immediately. The two of them then stepped inside without hesitation.

Once they entered the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, an even richer Heaven Earth Essence Energy rushed forth.

Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia were puzzled to see that not many people were in this divine city. Although Zhuo Wujia’s Spiritual Force could not clearly sense this, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was valiant and had already sensed that there were definitely no more than 100,000 people in this divine city.

Di Jiu’s heart sank when he saw the cultivators who were walking in the divine city. They also had a similar card hanging at their waists.

Needless to say, they were just like them. They had come from the Wormhole. Since they all came from the Wormhole, they definitely would not stay in this divine city, where part of the people would leave no matter how good the city was.

The only reason so many people were still staying in the divine city was that there were requirements before they could leave the divine city.

When Zhuo Wujia realized this, he knew his thoughts were not on par with Di Jiu’s. Thus, he did not say anything. He only followed him. Since the two of them were in this together, if something happened to one of them, the other one definitely could not narrowly escape.

Even though the divine city was not big, there were many shops.

How big of a business could they have in a divine city with only 100,000 people?

“Congratulations to the two of you for entering the Leaping Dao Door and reaching the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.” Once Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia entered a shop, the shopkeeper addressed them with a chuckle, obviously aware of their arrival.

Di Jiu reckoned that this shopkeeper had long been aware of how many people there were in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

“Thank you, Daoist. I want to ask you something. How do we leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City?” Di Jiu said politely with cupped fists.

The shopkeeper chuckled. “I suppose you two can’t leave this divine city anytime soon.”

Di Jiu asked doubtfully, “Why is that so? We don’t have any immortal crystals or Dao crystals here, so how can we stay in this divine city to cultivate?”

The shopkeeper replied with a smile, “Don’t worry. Divine Spirit Qi is abundant in our divine city, and there is a Dao meridian buried underneath. Even if you don’t have any divine crystals, as long as you spend some time, you can still model your Dao. As for cultivating resources, you definitely have a pile of contribution points if you were able to come here. These contribution points can be exchanged for all kinds of cultivating resources. Your contribution points are engraved on your card and every time you purchase something, it will be deducted from your card directly.”

Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia now understood that the contribution points on their cards could still be used. It looked like killing so many worms had not only helped them leave the Wormhole. At the same time, they understood that Dao crystals were also divine crystals.

The shopkeeper added, “Besides contribution points, it would be good if you still had worm materials on you. In the divine city, they are far more precious than in the Wormhole. I am also acquiring worm materials at a high price. You don’t have to guard the Wormhole here, but as long as you cultivate, you can leave sooner or later.”

Di Jiu cupped his fists. “Then can I ask how long we need to stay before we can leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City?”

The shopkeeper answered, “You can even leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City now as long as you have sufficient cultivating resources. There is a Teleportation Array that leads out of the Leaping Dao Door Divine City, but you will need 50,000 contribution points plus 100,000 high-grade divine crystals. You can immediately teleport if you have all that.”

Zhuo Wujia said with a sigh, “We’ve just come from the Wormhole. Where can we get so many divine crystals? Won’t immortal crystals do?”

The shopkeeper replied, “In the Dao World, immortal crystals are trash. It’s fine if you don’t have any divine crystals. You can apply to go back to the Wormhole to kill worms. Since you guys have entered the Leaping Dao Door, any worms that you kill will be all yours when you return there. Therefore, you can bring those here any time to exchange them for divine crystals.”

“What’s the usual price?” Zhuo Wujia probed.

“Worms worth 10 contribution points can approximately be exchanged for a low-grade divine crystal... 100 low-grade divine crystals can be exchanged for one high-grade divine crystal...”

Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia gasped, as they now understood why many cultivators in the Leaping Dao Door Divine City could not leave.

How could they exchange 100,000 high-grade divine crystals with such a high price? This rule clearly did not allow cultivators to go to the true Dao World for eternity.

...

Nobody knew how many sects, how many clans, or how much power existed in the entire Dao World. It was boundless after all.

There were only a few families in the Dao World’s top sects, such as the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City, the First Evolution Dao Sect, the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, and so on.

No matter how many places like the Star Dock existed, despite their outstanding impression, they were only a corner of the entire Dao World. This was because the Star Dock had two Dao Transformation experts.

One of them was Star Dock’s Dock Lord, Sha Huangtian, who was in the early stage of Dao Transformation. Another was the previous Dock Lord of the Star Dock and Sha Huangtian’s father, Sha Wushang. Sha Wushang had a cultivation level of a late-stage Dao Transformation and was rumored to be nearly perfected.

However, something had happened in the Star Dock that had caused a sensation in less than half of the Dao World. The previous Dock Lord of the Star Dock, Sha Wushang, had broken through the first step of the Dao Realm and attained the second step of the Dao Realm, thus becoming a true Primordial Dao Realm expert.

A Primordial Dao Realm expert was famous in the entire Dao World. Since there was one in the Star Dock now, its status became much higher.

With a Primordial Dao, the Star Dock had also completely turned from a nameless sect to a well-known sect in the Dao World.

Since they had a Primordial Dao expert now, the Star Dock naturally had to carry out a Primordial Dao Ceremony which affected many parts of the Dao World.

As long as one was within the area of the Star Dock and knew there was a sect with a Primordial Dao expert in the Star Dock, regardless of whether they received an invitation, they came to the Star Dock to attend their Primordial Dao Ceremony.

The Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce Guild Master, Ni Xiren, naturally arrived at the Star Dock in a few moments. Although the Moving Essence Chamber of Commerce had shown off their power in the Wormhole, Guild Master Ni Xiren was only at the mid-stage Dao Transformation and was a nobody before the Star Dock’s Primordial Dao expert, Sha Wushang.

...

The Star Dock’s guest hall was packed with people. In the back hall, Sha Wushang’s face sank. Even the current Dock Lord, Sha Huangtian, stood before Sha Wushang with his head hanging low, not daring to make noise.

After a long while, Sha Wushang said calmly, “Yu’er has a heaven-defying, maturing aptitude. He might very likely achieve more than me in the future but he has been in a coma for over a year due to his cultivation problems. You haven’t really lived up to your name as the Dock Lord.”

“Father is right to criticize.” Sha Huangtian lowered his head, not daring to retort. In fact, he had asked many famous physicians and Alchemy Deities to come over, but none of them could find out what Sha Puyu’s condition was.

Sha Wushang, who knew his son well, stopped scolding him. He only sighed and stood up. “I’ll take a look at Yu’er first.”

When Sha Wushang had gone to visit Sha Puyu, Ni Xiren had gotten anxious as he had just heard that Zimo, who had swallowed one of his Ascension Dao Pills, had made the top 10 and even become the first person in the Wormhole’s contribution point roll. In addition, he had left the Wormhole with this rank and entered the Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

This was not a small matter, as Zimo had obtained a mysterious, esoteric array disc. Since the array disc was now in his hands, what right did that fellow have to obtain 110,000 contribution points?

He relied on acquiring worms. He he... He was just an ignorant child. It looked like Zimo had a secret he had yet to tap into. Ni Xiren wished he could fly to the Leaping Dao Door Divine City right away and capture Zimo to check him carefully.

However, he did not dare leave now, as he was here to attend Sha Wushang’s ceremony. Unfortunately, Sha Wushang had yet to appear. What would it mean if he left first?

Fortunately, he knew that no matter how many contribution points Zimo and Zhuo Wujia had obtained, they could not leave the Leaping Dao Door Divine City. Otherwise, he would really have been forced to leave this place at any stake.
