Ninth In the World

Chapter 139: The Violet Aqua Sand

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the introductory chapter was limitless material knowledge.

In this book, there was no distinction between spirit herbs, ores, and other materials. Everything in the Book of the World was considered part of the universe.

This book had any information one needed, including information on one of the most inconspicuous grasses in the world and a handful of ordinary dirt.

Fortunately, the contents of the book were hierarchical, so it moved from a low level to a high level. The book did not explain the distinction between low level and high level, but Di Jiu guessed that it was based on the distribution of Spirit Qi, hardness, and so on.

According to the Book of the World, all matter was tangible, but different tangible matter abided by different laws, be it high level or low level.

Di Jiu had seen many kinds of jade slips about spirit herbs, and medicinal materials. However, when he started to study this book, he realized that what he had known before had simply been basic knowledge.

Di Jiu was eager to read the contents of this book. His mental strength was strong, so he could read very fast, yet after a few days, he was still on the first page.

If he had not come across the Violet Aqua Sand in the Book of the World, he would have kept reading without a pause.

When he saw the book’s introduction on the Violet Aqua Sand, Di Jiu was suddenly wide awake.

The Violet Aqua Sand was indeed a ninth-grade material. However, it was somewhat similar to the Pure Heaven Saber Gold, as this material could also be advanced after it was turned into a dharma treasure.

Furthermore, the Pure Heaven Saber Gold was not the only item that could be refined into an advanced dharma treasure along with the Violet Aqua Sand. In this aspect, the Violet Aqua Sand was more precious than the Pure Heaven Saber Gold.

In order to get a higher grade of Violet Aqua Sand, the Violet Aqua Sand had to be refined into a dharma treasure first. When the dharma treasure advanced to a certain level, the Violet Aqua Sand would decompose in the dharma treasure to reach a higher level.

This method could only be employed by someone by using a dharma treasure. This meant that in order to decompose the higher-level Violet Aqua Sand, the upgraded dharma treasure had to be refined personally first. The refined dharma treasure also had to be meant for the cultivator’s own use. Only if these two conditions were met, could one separate the Violet Aqua Sand into a higher-level Violet Aqua Sand in the future.

Di Jiu did not care about these characteristics of the Violet Aqua Sand. He only cared about the fact that he had possessed Violet Aqua Sand, yet he hadn’t recognized it.

It was a stone ball he had obtained in the cave abode on the Fairy Planet. The heavy stone ball was a piece of Violet Aqua Sand.

When he discovered that he had some Violet Aqua Sand, Di Jiu felt eager to find a flame to refine his dharma treasure.

He could look at the Book of the World any time he wanted. Given his current cultivation level, he was afraid that he would not finish the book even in 10,000 years.

When Di Jiu was about to withdraw his mental strength and leave, he suddenly had a thought. The gray-clothed cultivator had said that a cultivator’s thoughts could not touch the Book of the World. However, thanks to the help of the gray stone, Di Jiu’s mental strength could not only touch the book, but even see its contents clearly.

Didn’t that mean that he had the opportunity to refine the Book of the World?

As soon as he thought of this, Di Jiu couldn’t control the excitement in his heart anymore. When he realized that this book might soon belong to him, he was not calm enough to remain indifferent.

Di Jiu was well-aware of the value of the Book of the World. Although he had only read a small part of it, he had already benefited a lot. Once he refined the book and walked in the universe, nothing would ever bewilder him again.

He had to refine it!

Di Jiu stopped reading the contents of the book. Instead, his mental strength began to look for the restriction on the book, as he wanted to refine it by refining this restriction.

One day later, Di Jiu was a little confused.

He had not found any restriction on the Book of the World. However, thanks to the help of the gray stone, he had found the vast, boundless laws on the book’s first page.

He did not know if this was just the gray stone’s doing.

Di Jiu, who had been cultivating all this while, had also vaguely understood that the golden lightning in his gray stone seemed to be a heaven and earth law. Unfortunately, he had no idea what law it was.

The laws on the first page of the book were boundless, so it was impossible to describe them, even by saying that there were hundreds of millions of them to show their vastness.

If one had to refine the book by understanding these laws, Di Jiu estimated that he would not be able to refine it in hundreds of millions of years.

As Di Jiu was about to give up, he suddenly saw the golden lightning in the gray stone inside his sea of knowledge break out in some mysterious golden patterns. Di Jiu could not understand any of these patterns. He could only vaguely feel that they were also some kind of heaven and earth laws.

The endless golden patterns almost caused Di Jiu’s sea of knowledge to explode. How could Di Jiu refine the Book of the World? He quickly used the Galaxy Manual to cultivate. He could only hope that these golden patterns would move from his sea of knowledge to his galaxy meridian through cultivation.

The Spirit Qi there was sufficient, so he had not been able to cultivate at all earlier. However, thanks to the golden pattern law, Di Jiu could now absorb this rich Spirit Qi and quickly complete the first cycle of Qi Circulation.

Then, Di Jiu was able to absorb increasingly more Spirit Qi, which caused his cultivation level to also improve rapidly.

In just two weeks, Di Jiu had attained the peak eighth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm and caught a clear aura law. This aura law could be felt through the boundless golden patterns in his sea of knowledge. While Di Jiu felt it, his cultivation level entered the ninth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm without any obstacles.

Then, Di Jiu was surprised to discover that he had captured one of the hundreds of millions of laws in the first page of the Book of the World and understood it completely.

There seemed to be a vague connection between him and the book now.

Refining the Book of the World did not just involve refining its restriction, but gaining insight on its boundless laws.

Even if Di Jiu had understood this truth, without the gray stone, he would not have done such a boring thing. However, as long as he continued to cultivate, he would get the opportunity to gain insight on the second aura law through the golden patterns of the gray stone.

Now that he had been given a direction, Di Jiu sank into a routine of cultivating while also gaining insight from the laws inside the Book of the World.

The book, which had originally been like stagnant water, now kept emitting heaven and earth laws thanks to Di Jiu’s constant insight.

Dozens of cultivators who were gaining insight through other means experienced a moment of enlightenment because of these heaven and earth laws. Everyone was currently being enlightened, so even if Di Jiu entered the book unknowingly, no one would find out.

...

Six months later, when Di Jiu grasped the ninth law of the first page of the Book of the World, the vagueness between him and the book suddenly disappeared. Di Jiu immediately made a surprise discovery. A half-open book was suspended in his sea of knowledge.

Was this the Book of the World? When Di Jiu opened his eyes, the Book of the World beside him had disappeared.

Di Jiu knew that he had not refined book. He had only grasped nine out of the billions of laws on its first page, so he only had a feeling, not a thorough understanding.

Was this what it had taken for the Book of the World to become his?

In just a short period of time, Di Jiu had already gained some vague understanding. The Book of the World had not appeared in his sea of knowledge because he had refined it or thoroughly understood its laws, but because he had the gray stone and the golden lightning. Thanks to these two, the book had voluntarily appeared in his sea of knowledge.

The clear law aura and the strong flow of his Quintessential Essence made Di Jiu feel like he would experience an imminent breakthrough.

Di Jiu knew that this was not an illusion. In six months, his cultivation level had perfected the Foundation Establishment Realm, while he had also been constantly gaining insight on different kinds of laws. Even though he had not understood any of them until now, he was still about to enter the Golden Core Realm.

Di Jiu looked at the remaining dozens of cultivators, who still had their eyes closed and had not realized that the book had disappeared. Then, he stood up and left quickly.
