Ninth In the World

Chapter 594: The Top Escape Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When An Tuning heard that Xun Qi had been killed, she was shocked. Xun Qi had advanced to the Dao Birth not too long ago, while Di Jiu should be a Dao Modeling cultivator. How could he have killed him?

The gap between the Dao Modeling and the Dao Birth could not be made up just by the strength of the Divine Essence. It also involved the understanding of the Heaven Earth Dao, how strong the Spiritual Force was, the level of the domain, and so on.

No matter how heaven-defying Di Jiu was, he could not have killed a Dao Birth Realm expert at the Dao Modeling Realm.

She naturally was unaware that after Di Jiu had killed Xun Qi, he had sighed. After all, he had overestimated a Dao Birth cultivator.

As the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Sect Master, Fei Xuan knew better than anyone else and did not look good now. Since there were too many factions in the First Evolution Dao Sect, they had always been suppressed by the other sects.

The reason that he wanted to enter seclusion was because he had poor strength. As a result, he could not suppress those few Elders at all.

Fei Xuan sighed before he restored his calm front. “Arrange a sect meeting right away. All the Elders, Hall Masters, and Peak Masters have to attend.”

...

After Di Jiu entered the array door of the divine spirit herb garden and reached the Dao Evolution Mountain Range, he understood why his token only allowed him to stay three days.

When he arrived inside, his Spiritual Force range was weaker than his line of sight. Not only was there a major array to inhibit the Spiritual Force, but there was also one to isolate the line of sight. Everything was fuzzy more than 50 feet outside.

Apart from that, his Divine Essence had also been suppressed.

Di Jiu sighed. What could he do here within 30 days, let alone three days?

In other words, he could only walk and find herbs aimlessly based on his speed.

Di Jiu believed that if he did so, three days later, he would only find some divine spirit herbs of the lowest level in small amounts.

He could not use his Spiritual Force and his Divine Essence, and even his line of sight had been suppressed. However, this did not make Di Jiu feel completely hopeless, as he still had his Dao eye.

The Dao eye was not meant for long-distance use but to see through the illusions. Therefore, his level-three Dao eye had no problem seeing clearly within five kilometers.

In fact, it would be most appropriate if Di Jiu used the Five-Element escape technique inside there. The Five-Element escape technique had been cut off by Di Jiu during his Dao Modeling, but he had no intention of taking the Five-Element escape technique back unless he was on the verge of dying. Before he could figure out the problem with the Five-Element escape technique, he did not want to use it.

Di Jiu had no way of searching for divine spirit herbs at all, and his Divine Essence had been suppressed. However, he had no problem running about rapidly.

In three days, Di Jiu decided to spend two and a half days running about while using the last half day to search for divine spirit herbs.

He was now standing in the periphery, so the divine spirit herbs all around him would not be at a very high level. Only when he rushed deep into the Dao Evolution Mountain Range could he obtain better divine spirit herbs.

After running for one hour, Di Jiu knew he had made the right choice. He was different from other cultivators, as he cultivated the Nomological Dao.

No matter how many kinds of Dharma Arrays the Dao Evolution Mountain Range was bound by, its law would not change. Di Jiu, who kept running, could sense the surrounding Heaven Earth Law changing. He gradually started to understand the surrounding Heaven Earth Law.

Then, he became increasingly aware of the surrounding Heaven Earth Law and his speed got faster. Ultimately, he was not any slower than a flying boat and his speed became an escape technique.

In just a day, Di Jiu stopped. He knew that he had run to a place that an ordinary cultivator could not reach. Without using his Dao eye for now, Di Jiu scanned the place. Around him were all sorts of divine spirit herbs ranging from level-one to level-four, and some level-five to level-six ones.

Di Jiu’s scalp was numb from the excitement, as he had found many divine spirit herbs here. These divine spirit herbs made him feel excited, but not to the point that his emotions were stirred up.

He was excited because he had understood a new escape technique. His Spiritual Force escape technique had an extremely weak point, which was that once it was suppressed by the Dharma Array, he could not escape with it. Every time this had happened, the Five-Element escape technique had been much more powerful than his Spiritual Force escape technique.

When he had been running for a day previously, he had constantly come into contact with the surrounding Heaven Earth Law. As a result, he constantly understood how to run faster based on the surrounding law, thus allowing himself to understand the nomological escape technique.

Although Di Jiu had only just understood some superficial knowledge, he knew how heaven-defying this escape technique was.

With the nomological escape technique, he could escape as long as he was in a place with a law.

Which place in the universe did not have a law? The opening speech of the Nomological Dao mentioned that everything in the world had a law. Otherwise, it was only because one could not find it or understand it. The nomological escape technique could be considered the top escape technique in the universe.

The Nomological Dao was indeed the top Dao in the world.

Even if there were other Daos stronger than the Nomological Dao in the universe, Di Jiu would not acknowledge that.

No matter how many divine spirit herbs there were or how precious they were, they could not be compared to the nomological escape technique that he had understood.

Since he had understood the nomological escape technique, he would grow stronger with time in the future. Di Jiu checked his excitement and then fixed his attention on the divine spirit herbs on the ground.

Heavenly Cloud Ganodermas, Cloud Refinement Vines, Storm Leaves, Uniform Steep Meshes, Heavenly Trace Orchids, Single-Moon Leaves, Alder Skins, Buddha Light Branches...

Di Jiu kept packing away divine spirit herbs. He sighed silently, as An Tuning’s token had been a great favor.

Besides these level-three divine spirit herbs, there were also level-four divine spirit herbs. The Flying Lotuses, Purple Apricot Roots, and Golden Desolate Meshes around were not any fewer.

After he went out of this place, would he still need to worry about insufficient divine spirit herbs when he practiced alchemy?

...

Meanwhile, in the Sect Hall of the First Evolution Dao Sect...

Besides a scarce number of Elders in seclusion, all the Elders, Hall Masters, and Peak Masters were present.

Fei Xuan was the Sect Master of the First Evolution Dao Sect. However, he did not have the highest cultivation level. That person was Primordial Chaos Patriarch Yan Yun.

Yan Yun did not manage the affairs of the sect. Apart from attending the Dao discussion, he was normally in seclusion deducing his Dao. Unless the sect was destroyed, under normal circumstances, he would not come out.

Fei Xuan sat in the seat of the Sect Master and could not help sighing as he looked at the numerous Elders, Peak Masters, and Hall Masters in the hall.

In terms of strength, the First Evolution Dao Sect was definitely among the top three of the Five Major Sects. However, they also had the most factions in the entire Dao World. If it was not for the Sect Master barely supporting the sect, the First Evolution Dao Sect would have been in a state of disunity.

“Now that everyone is present, Valley Master An, tell us why you killed the First Evolution Dao Sect’s disciple.” Deep down in Fei Xuan’s heart, An Tuning was naturally more important than that member of the Xun Family.

Even though the Xun Family had enough strength, it was a family after all. An Tuning poured her heart and soul into the sect. In comparison, he naturally was more inclined toward favoring An Tuning, so he wanted to give her leeway for an explanation.

An Tuning responded with cupped fists, “Sect Master, Elders... When the First Evolution Dao Sect’s outer sect disciple Di Jiu put himself to the test outside, outer sect disciple Xun Shang occupied his cave abode. I went to find Di Jiu and I found out that Xun Shang had relied on his sect’s status to bully and humiliate Di Jiu forcefully. As a Valley Master and one of the people in charge of the sect, I naturally followed the sect’s rules and abolished this disciple without hesitation.”

Fei Xuan was about to say that An Tuning was right. After all, given her status, she could directly kill this cultivator, who had snatched the cave abode of a disciple of the same sect.

Before he could do so, however, Rain Evolution Peak Master Wang Teng stood up. “Sect Master, Elders, I want to ask you guys something. To my knowledge, Xun Shang was killed only a few days before the Dao World Elixir River Competition. At the time, Valley Master An was preparing to represent the First Evolution Dao Sect at the competition. At such a crucial time, she actually still had the time to search for an outer sect disciple. The First Evolution Dao Sect is one of the Five Major Sects after all. Could Valley Master An have wanted to kick the First Evolution Dao Sect out of the Five Major Sects?”

Fei Xuan then thought of the Elixir River Competition. He looked at An Tuning, whose face had turned somewhat ugly. Regardless of whether she had acted reasonably, the Elixir River Competition was no small matter. Three days before the Elixir River Competition, despite being the person in charge, An Tuning had neglected her duties and thought of finding an outer sect disciple.

At the time, An Tuning should have gathered all the competing Alchemy Masters and mutually explored the techniques and tactics of condensing the Divine Essence Pill.
