Chapter 557: The Wormhole’s Top 10 Contributors

When he was about to walk out of the Murderous Dao Lake, Di Jiu seemed to recall something. Therefore, he once again took out a ring and handed it to Zhuo Wujia. “Brother Zhuo, there are around 30,000 contribution points in here. I’ll give them to you.”

Zhuo Wujia immediately gestured with his hands and replied, “Brother Di, there will be approximately 50,000 contribution points after exchanging all the worms. The current 10th place on the contribution point roll has approximately 30,000 contribution points. My contribution points are sufficient to enter the top five.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “We intend to exchange the contribution points at the last minute, but are you sure that nobody else will do the same? Besides, I will still have approximately 100,000 contribution points after giving these to you, excluding the egg of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm. With that, I will have approximately 200,000 contribution points. There’s no use having so much, so why take the risk?”

Zhuo Wujia immediately understood what Di Jiu meant. He was certainly right. If other people did what they did as well and exchanged contribution points at the last minute, then something might really happen.

“In that case, thank you.” Zhuo Wujia stopped declining. Just like Di Jiu had said, there was no meaning to having tens of thousands of points.

…

It was not strange that Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia had left the Murderous Dao Lake, as both of them would do so every day. Then, they would wander around the entire worm district for the sake of purchasing all kinds of worms.

However, the two of them did not go to every district to continue purchasing worms that day. Instead, they went directly to the huge square to exchange their contribution points.

Not many people were there, and Di Jiu looked at the huge contribution point Array Formation Screen in the distance for a while. Only around two more hours were left.

However, the person at the 10th place of the contribution point roll already had 43,000 points. Zhuo Wujia glanced at Di Jiu and said gladly, “Brother Di, you were right. There are indeed people like us. The original 10th place is now at 13th place.”

Everyone focused their attention on the two of them as they walked to that area to exchange their contribution points.

The top 10 places of the contribution point roll of the year were about to be revealed. At this point, those who were exchanging their contribution points basically wanted to climb up to the top 10 all of a sudden.

Zhuo Wujia was in front of Di Jiu during the exchange of contribution points. When everyone saw that Zhuo Wujia was done exchanging, his contribution points immediately reached 87,000.

He managed to climb up to the top five with these contribution points and was only around 5,000 points away from third place.

As a result, the person at 10th place was pushed down right away. Everyone was stunned. Some people climbed up the top 10 of the contribution point roll every year on the last day. However, nobody was capable enough to take out around 80,000 contribution points in one go.

“It’s that elixir pill and the fellow called Zhuo Wujia…”

“Are they the ones who were purchasing worms every single day?”

“That’s right, it’s those two…”

“It seems like Inquiry Dao Hall’s Wang Xie is going to be pushed down.”

Inquiry Dao Hall’s Wang Xie had placed ninth on the contribution point roll but had now dropped to 10th place because of Zhuo Wujia. Theoretically, Di Jiu should have no problem pushing Wang Xie down. Zhuo Wujia already had around 80,000 contribution points, and Di Jiu was always with him. Thus, it would be strange if Di Jiu’s points were any lower.

“Will collecting the worms really do?”

“Maybe it’s possible. I have never done that previously.”

“They are also newcomers and they collect them using immortal crystals. We don’t have any immortal crystals even if we want to do that…”

Tongues were wagging with all kinds of regret and pity. If they had known that collecting worms could be so simple, they would have started doing so earlier. However, they had nearly consumed all their immortal crystals by now, so they did not have the capital to collect worms.

Di Jiu took out a storage ring. However, before he could hand it over for an exchange, a hand grabbed at him. “I was wondering who killed my friend. It turns out you did it in secret.”

Suddenly, the surrounding space was completely shrouded by an aura.

No fights were allowed in the Worm District, but Wang Xie could no longer care about that. He definitely could not allow Di Jiu to exchange his contribution points. Once he did so and had tens of thousands of contribution points, he would be finished.

Despite having more than 50,000 contribution points, if he did not climb up to the top 10 after today to get a place on the list for the Leaping Dao Door, his contribution points would then be reduced to over 10,000. His 15,000 contribution points this year would turn to 7,500, while his over 30,000 contribution points from the previous year would turn into one-quarter of the original, which was less than 10,000 points. As for his contribution points way far in the past, they would be reduced to one-eighth or even less.

Di Jiu knew very well that he could not make a move here even if he wanted to teach Wang Xie a lesson, especially during a crucial moment like now. He really had not expected that he would be fighting over a place with Wang Xie by coincidence.

He lifted his hands with a smile to grab Wang Xie’s palm. “Daoist Wang, I did not expect you to congratulate me too. It’s alright. After I reach the Dao World, I will treat you to a good meal.”

As he spoke, Di Jiu had already set up nomological restrictions in Wang Xie’s body.

Wang Xie, who had a low cultivation level, was just a nobody in Di Jiu’s eyes.

However, Wang Xie was terrified. After all, he could sense that the surrounding space had nothing to do with him at all. Di Jiu had grabbed his palm so easily without giving him a chance to budge. How terrifying was Di Jiu’s cultivation level?

“I’m exchanging my contribution points.” Di Jiu laughed and handed over his ring for an exchange.

The cultivator who was exchanging their contribution points scanned Di Jiu and then Wang Xie before his Spiritual Force landed on the ring.

When he saw a pile of worm corpses and a Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm corpse, he looked at Di Jiu in shock.

The materials of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm were extremely precious. Even though this was worth 10,000 contribution points here, if it was taken to the Dao World, a huge amount of people would be fighting over it at a high price.

The Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm would not appear in battle and was basically the equivalent of an army supervisor. How unimaginable was it that Di Jiu could capture such a worm?

“Did you find the worm egg of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm?” The cultivator who was exchanging his contribution points should not be asking all these questions. However, he simply could not help asking. This was very precious after all.

Di Jiu answered regretfully, “I didn’t.”

At the same time, he had already released Wang Xie’s hand.

Wang Xie took a glance at Di Jiu in fear. He did not have the guts to provoke him anymore. He had not expected Di Jiu to be so unimaginably powerful.

That cultivator also sighed, as the egg of the Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm was very precious. How could it be obtained so easily?

When Di Jiu was done exchanging his contribution points, he shockingly became the first person on the roll with 113,400 points. On the other hand, Wang Xie had been pushed down by him.

Wang Xie was baffled upon seeing his name vanish from the top 10. In one more hour, his contribution points would fall from over 50,000 to slightly over 10,000.

“You’ll get lucky after I leave. It’ll be a good meal,” Di Jiu said with a smile as he patted Wang Xie’s shoulder while he was standing beside him.

“Impossible… This is definitely impossible. Even if you can collect so many worm corpses, you can’t have collected a Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm…” Wang Xie shouted sternly. He had watched with his own eyes as the cultivator in charge of the contribution points had taken out the corpse of a Rainbow-Winged Lightning Worm.

“What an idiot. When did I say these worm corpses were collected?” Di Jiu scanned Wang Xie in disdain and shot a look at him. The two of them then arrived below the huge contribution point Array Formation Screen.

Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia did not wait long before the contribution point Array Formation Screen showed an explosive golden ray of light that enveloped 10 cards in the air. A cultivator’s name was engraved on each card.

Di Jiu’s alias, Zimo, and Zhuo Wujia were included. Di Jiu, who would not be polite anymore, flew over and took his corresponding card without hesitation. He shot a look at Zhuo Wujia, signaling that they would leave immediately.

Even without Di Jiu’s reminder, Zhuo Wujia knew that they could not waste any more time here. An idiot would also know that their contribution points seemed a bit strange.

Nobody had yet discovered them, as those who were capable of doing so were still unaware of the exact situation.

Everyone watched enviously as Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia rapidly rushed out of the Four Major City Districts toward the Leaping Dao Door.

It had been a long time since they had seen a cultivator who could leave the Wormhole Defense District in around one year. Both of them were really lucky.

“I’m sure that they can’t have purchased so many worms.” Once Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia left, someone immediately reacted.

“Then where did they get the worms?”

That’s right. Where had they gotten the worms?

…

“Brother Di…”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “We’ll talk when we reach the Dao World.”

If they did not leave this place in a breath’s time, they would not be safe.

Out of the 10 cultivators who were going to the Leaping Dao Door, they were the only two who had come out now. The other eight still had a pile of matters to handle despite winning a place. They wanted to be congratulated, unlike Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia, who were running for their lives in a hurry.

Both their speeds were extremely fast so, in less than half an hour, they had arrived at the bifurcation. When they entered the wide pathway leading to the Leaping Dao Door, the two guarding cultivators did not say anything but certainly took note of the cards in their hands.

Once they stepped through the Leaping Dao Door, their Spiritual Force sensed a huge divine city with five words floating outside: Leaping Dao Door Divine City.

“Stop right there!” A cultivator in gray stopped Di Jiu and Zhuo Wujia the moment they arrived at the entrance of the city gate.

Di Jiu took out his card and said modestly, “We’re among the top 10 contributors guarding the Wormhole and we are ready to leave this place for the Dao World. These are our top 10 cards.”

Zhuo Wujia also took his card out. It was easy to tell whether it was real or fake without checking it.
