Boom! Boom! Boom! Violent explosions could be heard. Di Jiu swept the Reincarnation Wooden Bridge into his Spiritual Sea and extended his body before escaping.

 Bam! Di Jiu landed on a hard surface and the rock mountain that he had previously entered appeared in his Spiritual Force. However, at that moment, the rock mountain had exploded into scraps and left behind its original state.

 The rainbow bird also landed beside Di Jiu and chirped excitedly. It seemed that the surging Reincarnation Dao Runes had allowed it to gain a lot.

 “I am going to find a place to enter reclusive seclusion. If you want to, search for opportunities here.” After Di Jiu said that, he took out a storage ring and threw it to the rainbow bird.

 This time, the rainbow bird seemed to understand what Di Jiu meant. It grabbed the storage ring and chirped a few times at Di Jiu. It then turned into lightning and vanished into the distance.

 It was no wonder that this was a lightning worm. It was fast indeed…

 Actually, that was not right. When Di Jiu thought of the lightning worm, he recalled that when he had killed those worms, he had also killed the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm that he had sold for 10,000 contribution points.

 That kind of lightning worm and the lightning rainbow bird before him did not have any similarities appearance-wise. The worm had two claws and three toes on each claw, so it was not seven-toed. Although it also had a pair of wings, they were different from the wings of the rainbow bird.

 This was completely impossible. Since that worm egg had been dug out of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm's abdomen, after this worm egg hatched, it should have been just like the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm. In fact, the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm was like a huge worm. Apart from some patches and some similar-looking lightning signs on its body, it was completely different from the bird.

 Could the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm perhaps grow into adulthood and then become a worm? Was it a bird just when it was born?

 Di Jiu frowned as he increasingly felt that something was wrong. An ordinary demon beast should get more formidable or more beautiful the more they grew. Why would it become uglier and turn from a bird into a worm? Its seven toes would also degenerate into three toes?

 Di Jiu's Spiritual Force landed on the Book of the World. Soon, he found the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm. Unfortunately, there was nothing abrupt about it.

 Di Jiu very quickly understood. Rainbow-winged lightning worms were worms that could best absorb the Heaven and Earth Essence. When they laid eggs, many other demon beasts that laid eggs loved to hide their eggs inside the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worms. The beast eggs would swallow the essence of the worm eggs of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worms and use the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm to produce their offspring. After hatching, the beast would carry part of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm's morphology. This kind of morphology would not allow the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm to be exterminated.

 This turned out to be the case. Di Jiu seemed sure that the lightning worm that had left earlier was the beast egg of another demon beast.

 He withdrew his Spiritual Force speechlessly. In the vast universe and the world, everything and anything could indeed happen.

However, even though the lightning worm was not the offspring of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm, Di Jiu did not bother chasing after the lightning worm. He had many matters on his hands right now so he was in no mood to raise a beast companion.

 Several days later, Di Jiu dug a cave abode deep over a sect's ruins. He had just attained the Dao Birth so he needed to stabilize his cultivation level.

 At the moment, Di Jiu was truly grateful to An Tuning. Without her words, how could he have possessed so many Divine Essence Pills? Due to his Nomological Dao, the cultivation techniques of the Starry Sky meridian, and the Starry Sky Spiritual Sea, he needed practically a huge amount of Heaven Earth Divine Essence.

 Ordinary divine crystals could not satisfy his needs. Only the Dao meridian could. However, how many Dao meridians were there? This was why he used Divine Essence Pills instead.

 In the water prison of the First Evolution Dao Sect, Qi Yu stood up. Entering a water prison was just like closing his eyes in reclusive seclusion. However, he felt increasingly distraught. How many days had it been?

 The water prison of the First Evolution Dao Sect was publicly known to be a cultivation sacred ground of the sect. Some disciples who had been locked up in the water prison had even advanced a lot after coming out.

 That would not do. He had to get out. Qi Yu had cultivated to the Primordial Chaos Realm and encountered similar situations many times. Each time, it meant that danger was approaching. Even though he was sure that the First Evolution Dao Sect's water prison was very safe, he did not dare stay there any longer.

 He had not come to the water prison because he was afraid of the Sect Master, but because he was saving face for Sect Master Fei Xuan. He had injured Spring Evolution Valley Master An Tuning at the sect meeting with one fist move, which was the equivalent of slapping the First Evolution Dao Sect across the face. At the same time, it was akin to slapping the Sect Master.

 He treated Fei Xuan with respect because he had not won over Eldest Elder Zhong Zhongling yet. Once he did so, Fei Xuan would be abdicated as the Sect Master and would most likely be killed.

 Bam! Before Qi Yu could reach the entrance of the water prison, he was blocked by a formless restriction.

 Qi Yu's expression changed. This water prison had the loosest confinement space. One could come in and out at will. Now that he had been blocked by this kind of restriction, he realized this was the first time he had seen anything like it.

 “What's going on? Hurry up and help me open the restriction. I have to go out for a while to deal with some matters.” The impatience in him grew stronger, and Qi Yu could even sense a deadly aura. This was definitely not good.

 “He he… You have not been locked up even for one year yet. How could you come out?” A faint voice spoke. Then, Eldest Elder Zhong Zhongling walked over calmly.

 “Eldest Elder, I have to go out for a while.” Qi Yu suppressed his impatience deep down and cupped his fists before Zhong Zhongling, who walked over.

 Zhong Zhongling sighed. “You will probably have a hard time going out. Since you dared to seriously injure the Valley Master during the First Evolution Dao Sect's sect meeting, you have basically been pronounced dead on the spot. You have been able to live until now because…”

 “Zhong Zhongling, how dare you!” Qi Yu, who realized that he had been fooled, wanted to take out his Dharma treasure.

 Before he could draw his Dharma treasure, his expression suddenly changed. His surrounding space had lost its Heaven Earth Law all of a sudden. Apart from that, his Spiritual Force was also suppressed to only one foot around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Terrifying thunder streaks struck. In between the thunder streaks, a sharp arrow that was dozens of feet long came piercing down.

 “Zhong Zhongling, Fei Xuan, how dare you guys kill the Elder…” Qi Yu was startled and furious at the same time. However, he was bound by the space of the water prison and could not budge at all.

 Zhong Zhongling once again sighed. “Qi Yu, why do it if you knew this would happen? You dared to even threaten the Sect Master and seriously injure a Valley Master during the sect meeting. Did you think that the First Evolution Dao Sect would tolerate you?”

Pfft! A trail of blood exploded. Qi Yu's Principal Spirit rushed out and was torn into scraps by the thunder streaks.

 Zhong Zhongling lifted his hands to sweep away Qi Yu's ring before turning to leave unhurriedly.

 When An Tuning, who had just recovered from her injuries, once again entered the sect conference hall, she realized that half of the people there were missing.

 Second Elder Song Chuanxi, Rain Evolution Peak Master Wang Teng, Law Enforcement Hall Master He Xiao…

 All the powerful members of the sects were missing. This should not have happened. They should all be present at such a meeting.

 When Fei Xuan reached the conference hall, his gaze scanned the hall. Although he looked somewhat stern, even An Tuning could sense a kind of ease in the Sect Master's footsteps.

 As Fei Xuan stood in front of the Sect Master's seat, he calmly said, “Everyone must have noticed that many people are missing from our sect. Perhaps, you are all unaware of the reason. I will explain. When I was seriously injured in seclusion, the sect was almost on the brink of being destroyed. Second Elder Qi Yu injured Valley Master An seriously, the Law Enforcement Hall Master killed the sect's core disciples, and even the deacon sold the sect's divine crystal mine…”

Fei Xuan paused for a while and scanned everyone. He then added in a stern voice, “If we don't get rid of such scum, our sect will very soon be struck off the Dao World, let alone from the Five Major Sects.”

 An Tuning was pleasantly surprised. She finally understood that the Sect Master had said those words to her on purpose for the sake of appeasing the Second Elder and the others.

 As expected, Fei Xuan's gaze landed on An Tuning. “Valley Master An has suffered. Since our sect currently needs to grow, core disciples are very important. I have investigated Alchemy Master Di. Not only is he a Dao Modeling Alchemy Deity who has gone to the Vast Ruins, but he has also returned safe and sound. A genius like him will be the foundation of our future. Valley Master An, tell Di Jiu that he is already a core disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect. He can choose any mountain peak on the Core Disciple Mountain and make it his cave abode…”

 An Tuning sighed before she stood up and responded, “Di Jiu was very downhearted so he left and quit his outer sect disciple position a few months ago. He is no longer a disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect.”

 After recovering from her injuries, she had taken the initiative to investigate Di Jiu. In the end, she had discovered that the first thing he had done after leaving the Spring Evolution Valley was leave the sect.

 She felt somewhat vexed. In fact, she had hinted that Di Jiu had left the Spring Evolution Valley. Who knew that the Sect Master would be waiting for the final blow?
