Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia did not resist, letting Di Jiu take them away. Their only hope of escape lay in Di Jiu.
 

Almost as soon as Di Jiu rushed out of the space enclosed by the Rat Tide, the place where they had been previously was swarmed by rats.
 

Di Jiu took out a flying boat once again and placed the two of them on the boat. The flying boat rushed out as fast as it could. However, the Rat Tide chased after the boat.
 

Di Jiu was not afraid. The speed of the Rat Tide was fast, but it was most likely not as fast as his flying boat’s speed.
 


I felt that something was not right.
Mu Jie broke out in cold sweat while thinking about what had just happened.
 

Di Jiu replied,
Indeed, we were too careless. We should have purchased a Lackluster Ocean introduction jade slip no matter how poor we were.

 

Although he said that, Di Jiu also knew that this was something extremely difficult for them to accomplish. One had to use divine crystals to purchase any jade slips in the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, yet they owned none. Trading immortal crystals for divine crystals was without a doubt out of the question.
 

Alternatively, they could use supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians to trade for divine crystals. Nonetheless, there were not a lot of supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians in the Immortal World. Trading one would not allow them to gain much, and trading a second one would paint a target on their backs.
Weaklings who could trade supreme-grade immortal spirit meridians for divine crystals were clearly people of a certain status. Such people usually possessed good items.
 

Di Jiu was not afraid of being targeted by others. It was just that he currently had a few enemies and there was no way they could cultivate peacefully if they made new enemies.
 

As for trading the treasures he had obtained between the two realms, Di Jiu was even more unwilling to do so. These items were all good, for he would not bother to take anything that was not good. If he traded them, he would be targeted as well.
Having a low cultivation level was fine, but one should not show that they were weak.
 


Eh? I just saw a flying boat speeding out of the Eight-Legged Rat Tide District. Am I seeing things?
blurted out a patch-faced man on a low-grade flying boat divine weapon not too far away from Di Jiu’s flying boat.
 


I saw that as well… No, there is also a Rat Tide chasing after that flying boat,
commented a lady who was standing beside the patch-faced man. She had also witnessed how Di Jiu had controlled the flying boat to charge out of the Eight-Legged Rat Tide District.

Let’s head there and take a look.
The patch-faced man had also seen the Rat Tide chasing Di Jiu’s flying boat. Without hesitation, he maneuvered the low-grade flying boat divine weapon to approach Di Jiu’s flying boat.
 

Only cultivators who stayed in the Lackluster Ocean all year long knew that it would mean nothing if they accidentally entered the Rat Tide District so long as they could escape in time. This was provided that they had not encountered the Rat Tide first.
 

Once the Rat Tide was incited, they would no longer be able to escape. This was because the Rat Tide would expertly encircle the cultivator’s flying boat. As a result, the cultivator would be unable to escape by the time they realized what was going on.
 

Considering that the flying boat was a supreme-grade immortal weapon, Di Jiu was clearly someone with relatively weak cultivation, for cultivators with a high cultivation level would not be using an immortal weapon. In that case, how could someone like this, who possessed a low cultivation level, have managed to escape from the Rat Tide while using a supreme-grade flying immortal weapon?
 


Someone is approaching,
Mu Jie hastily reminded Di Jiu when she saw the low-grade flying boat divine weapon heading in their direction.
 

Di Jiu increased the flying speed, as he had seen the flying boat approaching as well. In addition, he had also noticed the four cultivators on board that flying boat. Two of them should be Dao Modeling experts and the other two had already condensed their Dao Seed, so they were probably here to seek the opportunity to fulfill the Dao Modeling.
 


Stop here.
The speed of the supreme-grade immortal weapon was fast, but that low-grade divine weapon was still inching closer as time passed.
 

Di Jiu knew that it would be virtually impossible to shake off this low-grade flying boat divine weapon if he did not execute the escape technique.
 

At this thought, he stopped his flying boat.
 


Fellow Daoists, I seem to have just seen you fly out of the Rat Tide District.
The patch-faced man looked at Di Jiu with a smile. His Spiritual Force had already locked onto Di Jiu. He would have forcibly opened Di Jiu’s ring if Mu Jie had not been a Dao Modeling cultivator.
 

Di Jiu did not directly answer the patch-faced man’s question. Instead, he cupped his fists and asked politely,
May I know if anyone owns any introduction jade slips on the Lackluster Ocean? Can you lend it to me so I can take a look at it?

 

The patch-faced man sized up Di Jiu. He did not think that Di Jiu was a cultivator who had just ascended, as it was hard for those cultivators to arrive at the Lackluster Ocean Divine City.
Any cultivators who arrived at the Lackluster Ocean Divine City had either ascended a long time ago or were originally from the Dao World. Regardless of which type of cultivator these people were, they should have purchased a Lackluster Ocean introduction jade slip. The patch-faced man did not care why Di Jiu wanted to borrow an introduction jade slip from him. He just threw one at Di Jiu and said in a cool tone,
You should be able to answer me now. Why did you guys fly out of the Rat Tide District?

 

Di Jiu knew what the patch-faced man was trying to ask. He was not asking why they had flown out but how they were still alive after flying out of the Eight-Legged Rat Tide District. This was evidently meant to forestall a battle.
 

Di Jiu scanned the jade slip with his Spiritual Force before putting it away. Then, he replied,
It is because we accidentally entered the Eight-Legged Rat Tide District. Fortunately, my instincts told me that something was amiss when we neared the Rat Tide District. Therefore, we immediately came back out again. We were thankfully not submerged by the Rat Tide.

 

The patch-faced man’s expression turned cold. Was he being treated like a fool? The Rat Tide of the Lackluster Ocean Rat Tide District would definitely not chase after a cultivator’s flying boat without a reason. Not unless this cultivator had come out of the recesses of the Rat Tide District and been attacked by the Eight-Legged Ocean Rat previously.
 


Where are you guys headed?
demanded the patch-faced man coldly.
 

The remaining cultivators on his boat all stood up, an evident sign that they were prepared to fight.
 

Honeycomb Beach was very close to where they were. Thus, Di Jiu chose to reply truthfully,
We are headed to Honeycomb Beach.

 


You guys are intending to harvest the Stacked Partition Herb as well?
asked the patch-faced man immediately, his face beaming with delight.
 

He should not kill these fellas but force them to help harvest the Stacked Partition Herbs. He had come here to harvest the herbs as well after all.
 

The Stacked Partition Herb was poisonous. If other people helped them harvest the herb, combined with the precautionary measures they had taken, they would be able to profit a lot without the risk of getting poisoned.
 


That’s right. We are intending to harvest the Stacked Partition Herbs. Thank you for the Lackluster Ocean introduction jade slip. Farewell,
replied Di Jiu as he controlled the flying boat and got ready to leave.
 

They would fight if these people wanted to do so. He was indeed unable to beat people who had attained the Dao Modeling but he was still confident about being able to kill them off one-by-one using the flying boat’s Defense Array to help Mu Jie. Furthermore, he had mastered the nomological array flags.
 


We are going to harvest some Stacked Partition Herbs as well. In that case, let us all enter Honeycomb Beach. This way, we will all have some company.
The patch-faced man laughed before controlling the flying boat to follow Di Jiu’s boat closely.
 


What should we do?
Mu Jie looked at Di Jiu worriedly. She could sense that the four people on the flying boat chasing after them were not simple. Two of them possessed cultivation levels higher than hers, and the other two seemed to be about to attain the Dao Modeling.
Di Jiu knew many different techniques, but his cultivation level was undeniably too low.
 


Don’t worry. They would most likely not do anything before we reached Honeycomb Beach.
Then, Di Jiu looked at Zhuo Wujia and said,
Brother Zhuo, don’t attack later on when the battle starts. Guard me and Sister Mu instead. I have the means to kill them off one at a time.

 


Okay.
Zhuo Wujia was very anxious to condense his Dao Seed so that he could attain the Dao Modeling. Otherwise, he would be useless in battle given the amount of strength he possessed.
 

Half a day later, Di Jiu stopped the flying boat. They had arrived at Honeycomb Beach.
 


Such a big honeycomb!
exclaimed Mu Jie when her eyes landed on Honeycomb Beach, which was before her.
 

Anyone with trypophobia would feel intense discomfort upon coming here.
 

Someone had already set up an Illumination Array at the edges of Honeycomb Beach. It was a reef island, large and protruding. Outside the island were numerous tightly-connected caves one could not scan with their Spiritual Force.
 

From afar, it indeed appeared to be a honeycomb situated in the center of the island.
