Ninth In the World

Chapter 417: The Nomological Eye

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon entering the region of sparse laws, Di Jiu was no longer by his deathbed even though the Immortal Divine Body was still incapable of blocking off all the chaotic nomological fluctuations. Whether he was able to gain some insight into spatial laws and time laws in this place did not matter, for this was an ideal place to cultivate a top-notch Tempered Body.

Di Jiu circulated the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art continuously, even more so after he was out of immediate danger. Upon discovering the benefits of possessing a powerful body, he thought of upgrading his body first before entering the other areas of the Chaotic Law Zone to gain insight into the various laws. The time law had to be located in the deepest recesses of the Chaotic Law Zone.

Any relatively safe area in the Chaotic Law Zone was the most ideal Tempered Body cultivating spot. Here, there were chaotic laws that could temper with one’s body and the numerous nomological aura that was suitable for body-tempering.

The frightening chaotic nomological aura enveloped him again when his Immortal Divine Body had just been stabilized and Di Jiu was about to attempt to break through and attain the mid-stage Immortal Divine Body.

Pew! The several wounds on his body spurted blood. His chest bones flew out due to the impact of the anarchic vortex of laws.

Reeling in alarm, Di Jiu hastily swept his Spiritual Force out in search of a new weak spot. It was only then that he realized that the safe area in the Chaotic Law Zone was not always considered safe, as the chaotic laws there were volatile.

This was why very few people could survive and leave the Chaotic Law Zone alive. He would not be able to last long if it weren’t for the Ninth Dao Law. The reason he was able to find the safe areas in the shortest time possible was due to the Dao law’s presence.

He was almost split into two at the waist by a churning nomological vortex when he discovered another safe area.

After moving into this new safe area and consuming some elixirs, Di Jiu did not dare to continue body-tempering. As he tempered his body, he was using his Spiritual Force to scan the surrounding area in search of the next safe spot.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was rapidly razed by the anarchic laws. At the moment, he needed to continuously circulate the Forging Spiritual Art to temper his Spiritual Force while circulating the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art simultaneously.

There was no way Di Jiu could enter the recesses to gain insight into the time laws and spatial laws. After all, he needed to put all his mind and energy into tempering his body and Spiritual Force for the sake of his survival.

Several days had passed and Di Jiu had already gained some understanding into the Chaotic Law Zone. His luck was undoubtedly excellent. There were many chaotic nomological vortexes here, and his Spiritual Force was eradicated before it could even come into contact with them. Di Jiu was certain that even a late-stage Immortal Emperor would be killed by these chaotic nomological vortexes.

He understood then why no Immortal Emperor continued their pursuit after entering this place.

The chaotic laws within the Chaotic Law Zone were changing every second and always churning. The number of chaotic nomological vortexes here was countless, and their appearance was unpredictable. Di Jiu was extremely grateful for the Dao law residing in his Spiritual Sea, for it would also help him evade moments of extreme danger.

Di Jiu, who had lived in the Chaotic Law Zone by this point, started questioning the authenticity of the rumors of Zenith Heaven Immortals entering the Chaotic Law Zone and surviving.

Any Zenith Heaven Immortal who entered the Chaotic Law Zone would have no chance of survival if they did not possess the Ninth Dao Law or an equivalent treasure. Di Jiu himself was covered in wounds after living in this place for one month, even though he possessed the Ninth Dao Law and an Immortal Divine Body. No part of his skin or bones was intact, and his Spiritual Force was consistently being expunged.

At first, Di Jiu would always be exhausted whenever his Spiritual Force razed. However, he dared not completely put away his Spiritual Force, for it would most likely lead to him being killed by the chaotic nomological vortexes.

Two months had passed. Di Jiu had discovered that his Spiritual Force Training Art had become increasingly condensed and stable following each razing of his Spiritual Force and each subsequent circulation of the Forging Spiritual Art.

Three months had passed when he heard a loud groan emanating from his Spiritual Sea. Immediately, his entire Spiritual Sea and the range his Spiritual Force could reach expanded exponentially. This was...

Di Jiu was elated. Both his Spiritual Sea and Spiritual Force had leveled up. Back when he had been attempting to upgrade his Spiritual Force to become a level-seven Immortal Force, he had almost caused the destruction of his Spiritual Sea.

Now, his Spiritual Force had become a level-seven Immortal Force in just three months. Furthermore, his body had become a peak early-stage Immortal Divine Body after body-tempering in this anarchic nomological space for a few consecutive months.

Danger and opportunities indeed went hand-in-hand.

Di Jiu finally had the chance to take a breather following the impressive enhancement of his Spiritual Force. He no longer needed to put all his effort into ensuring his survival, and his chances of survival had increased as well.

His mobility area was not big during the few months he had lived in the Chaotic Law Zone. However, now that his Spiritual Force had become a level-seven Immortal Force, Di Jiu believed that he could finally afford to split some of his energy to start cultivating.

In the Chaotic Law Zone, the cultivation level of a first-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal was considered too weak, to the point that Di Jiu had not dared to take the fruit out and take a look at it.

This fruit was definitely extraordinary. His Spiritual Force had just leveled up, and the wounds covering his body had started to heal. However, the Chaotic Law Zone was still a very dangerous place. He would be filled with extreme regret if the fruit was lost due to the appearance of a chaotic nomological vortex after he took it out.

The laws in the Chaotic Law Zone were extremely anarchic, and perhaps only Di Jiu yearned to cultivate in such a place. With the help of the Ninth Dao Law, he could distinguish the chaotic nomological aura clearly and precisely and absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi he needed.

The amount of Immortal Spirit Qi Di Jiu absorbed increased over time. Later on, he no longer needed the Ninth Dao Law’s aid to separate the laws in the nomological vortex. He could now absorb the Immortal Spirit Qi directly.

A year later, Di Jiu’s Tempered Body became a mid-stage Immortal Divine Body. Through the circulation of the Forging Spiritual Art, his Spiritual Force became increasingly condensed and seemed to be in the process of attaining level eight.

Di Jiu had also attained the second-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. It was only now that he finally could hold his own in this place. The number of wounds he sustained decreased drastically.

He currently did not need to intentionally search for the next safe spot where the chaotic laws were the weakest. He only needed to rely on his intuition to be able to precisely determine the safest spot.

Di Jiu knew very well that being able to swiftly cultivate and attain the Immortal King Realm or the Immortal Supremacy Realm was not realistic.

However, this place was extremely beneficial for cultivating Spiritual Force. The stronger his Spiritual Force was, the more secure he would be.

Di Jiu used most of his might while tempering his Spiritual Sea and condensing his Spiritual Force. The changes he sensed in his Spiritual Sea happened every single moment.

To increase the speed of Spiritual Force condensation, he even took some time to refine the Grayish-Purple Lattice. He dared not consume too much all at once, but he would drop some Grayish-Purple Lattice into his mouth every once in a while.

Following the removal of his Spiritual Force, the consumption of Grayish-Purple Lattice, and the circulation of the Forging Spiritual Art, Di Jiu sensed even more clearly that the fortitude of his Spiritual Sea was constantly increasing and his Spiritual Force was expanding.

Two years, three years passed...

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea emanated a loud groan again after five years. Once again, it expanded by a large circumference and the Spiritual Force range increased exponentially.

Exuberant, Di Jiu stood up. His Spiritual Force had finally become a level-eight Immortal Force.

His level-eight Immortal Force had not been attained through ordinary cultivation methods; it had been attained through the tempering of the Forging Spiritual Art and the Grayish-Purple Lattice, all done in this chaotic nomological space.

His Spiritual Force was far more condensed than that of the average cultivator with a level-eight Immortal Force. It could also pierce through some simple chaotic nomological vortexes.

A distinct barrier formed around Di Jiu when he extended his Spiritual Force out. This was done without much effort on his part.

His Spiritual Force barrier was incapable of stopping the more powerful chaotic nomological vortexes but was capable of stopping ordinary chaotic nomological vortexes. Based on the knowledge and experience he had garnered in the time he had spent in the Chaotic Law Zone, he could move to a new safe spot before the powerful chaotic nomological vortexes arrived.

Di Jiu felt wonderful. In the past five years, his cultivation level had only increased to the third-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal and his Tempered Body had remained at the mid-stage Immortal Divine Body. However, his Spiritual Force had become a level-eight Immortal Force, an improvement that excited Di Jiu more than any increase in his cultivation level. After all, he finally possessed some capability to survive in the Chaotic Law Zone.

Being a level-eight Immortal Emperor meant that even an Immortal Emperor would not be able to catch up with him when he executed the Spiritual Force escape technique, provided that he was careful.

It was now perhaps the right time for him to head deep into the Chaotic Law Zone to gain insight into time laws. The only qualm he had about the Chaotic Law Zone currently was that his cultivation speed was slow.

Under the protection of the Spiritual Force barrier, Di Jiu took out a jade box covered with restrictions.

He then opened the box. The colors of the fruit had not been obvious before, but they were now very distinct. The fruit was exuding a mysterious, esoteric Dao rune aura. Di Jiu had only taken a look at the fruit, yet he could already experience the aura’s spiritually-cleansing effect.

What kind of fruit was this? Di Jiu had never seen it before, nor did he know if it was recorded in the Book of the World. He looked at the Book of the World by using his Spiritual Force and was elated to discover that a new page had been added to the book.

This occurrence made Di Jiu realize that the Book of the World had most likely been in a blank state at the very beginning. A new page would be added to it every time it encountered something new. This was just like the way the Book of the World had acquired the introduction to the Creation Wood when it had first come into contact with the Creation Cauldron. The explanation of the Universe Membrane had also appeared in the form of a new page in the book when it had first come into contact with the Universe Membrane fragment.

It was possible that the Book of the World had once belonged to a powerful being and all the items that appeared in it were based on what that being had seen or encountered. The Book of the World would not hold any record of things that the being had never seen or encountered before. Information about these things would be added to the Book of the World when Di Jiu himself came into contact with them.

If his theory was correct, then why had his Spirit Root not appeared in the Book of the World?

However, he was quickly enraptured by the introduction of this fruit.

The name of the fruit was simple: Nomological Eye.

Its sole purpose was to allow one to acquire a Dao eye. Di Ji almost exclaimed in shock when he saw the words ‘Dao eye’. He knew what it was!
