Ninth In the World

The Five-Element Beasts on the second level were clearly more intelligent than the ones on the first level. After Di Jiu killed only hundreds of Five-Element Beasts, the remaining ones dispersed.

He was fine now, right? Yu Qianxi was still in a daze. Ever since the group of Five-Element Beasts had pounced over, she had never thought of attacking them. With so many Five-Element Beasts around, she would die even if she attacked them.

“Let’s go.” Di Jiu put away his Heavenly Aqua Saber, feeling very satisfied.

He was satisfied with his Heavenly Aqua Saber. Even if someone else wanted to exchange a supreme-grade divine weapon for his Heavenly Aqua Saber, he would be unwilling to do so.

“Senior Brother Di, even the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World are a far cry from you,” Yu Qianxi told him in admiration after taking a deep breath.

It was no wonder that Mo Yejiu had not been interested in the Dao World’s Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting. It turned out that he was a true genius that really did not need to attend that meeting. Even though she was one of the Ten Major Geniuses, she felt that she still could not compare to Di Jiu. She would be a joke before Di Jiu at the Hidden Sacred Exchange Meeting.

Di Jiu laughed but did not answer. His goal all along had never been to become one of the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World but the strongest individual of the Ten Major Geniuses in the history of the Dao World. Only Jiang Dai and Xu Baishang were his match.

“Senior Brother Di, on the second level of the Vast Ruins, the laws are chaotic and filled with shattered nomological whirlpools. If you use the Divine Essence, the surrounding nomological fragments will be stirred and you will be unable to survive. The Five-Element Beasts are designated products of the fragmented laws here, so they are used to living in this place. How could Senior Brother Di instigate a battle between the Divine Essence and the Five-Element Beasts in a place like this?” Yu Qianxi knew that she should not have said this. However, she simply wanted to know so badly.

If she could do so, her strength would improve on many levels.

Since Yu Qianxi had not asked how he had set up the Defense Arrays secretly, Di Jiu was relieved. He was still working with Yu Qianxi now. If she inquired and he did not answer her truthfully, it would not do.

Di Jiu cautiously stepped onto the stairway leading to the third level followed by Yu Qianxi, who was also being cautious. Since the third level of the Vast Ruins was really dangerous, Di Jiu might not necessarily be able to protect her. If there was danger, she would have to rely on herself.

Pfft! Blood suddenly exploded. As soon as Di Jiu stepped into the third level, a violent nomological displacement swept over. Even though he had been guarding against them every moment, he was also ripped apart by this nomological displacement.

Di Jiu took Yu Qianxi and escaped immediately so that she would not be ripped into two by the nomological displacement.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Di. You saved me once again.” When Di Jiu put her down, Yu Qianxi was covered in cold sweat.

She had definitely found the right person in Di Jiu. She had initially planned to come over with Bai Changyi. Thinking of it now, even if Bai Changyi had reached the third level, he would not have taken care of her. As for being careful on the third level, there was no point in being careful when one encountered such a danger. The problem was her insufficient strength.

She was shocked that she did not know what kind of divine power Di Jiu had executed when they’d escaped. This was a place with broken Heaven Earth Laws, yet he could actually escape at will. This had to be related to Di Jiu’s divine power technique. However, she was too embarrassed to ask again.

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Since we are a team, we naturally have to help each other…”

Before Di Jiu could finish, he once again led Yu Qianxi away and moved dozens of feet to the side. He knew that the place where Yu Qianxi stood had already vanished without a trace.

Yu Qianxi was trembling in fear as she looked at the place that had vanished. She was not even in the mood to talk. The place had definitely collapsed because of the shattered laws’ collapse. Without Di Jiu, she would most likely have been swept away by the collapse of the laws.

There were only two possibilities after being swept away by collapsing laws. She would either have been twisted into scraps by the laws or she would have entered an unknown spatial realm. It was hard to sense the collapse of the laws. Since Di Jiu could sense that before it had happened, he had a much better understanding of the Heaven Earth Law than her.

Instead, Di Jiu was pleasantly surprised. The third level was definitely a better place for cultivation than the second level. After reaching the Dao Birth, he could no longer advance in any way, including his Tempered Body. Ever since he had formed a perfected Immortal Divine Body, he could no longer advance either. Once he found the Dao fruit garden and obtained the Dao fruits, he would send Yu Qianxi to the second level before he entered the third level and continued cultivating.

When he entered the third level, the bone slip’s indication became clearer.

No matter how cautious Di Jiu was, after walking on the third level for two months, he was still riddled with injuries. Once, his arm had been nearly twisted off by a nomological displacement. On the contrary, Yu Qianxi, who he had been protecting, had only suffered some light injuries. This made Yu Qianxi feel very grateful for him.

Without Di Jiu, she would have been pulverized instead. In her opinion, if she had tried to rely on her strength to come to the third level, she would probably not have been able to do so before reaching the Primordial Dao. Senior Brother Di was simply too heaven-defying. Unfortunately, he had been targeted by Jiang Dai. Otherwise…

“We’ve here. The Dao fruit garden should be here.” Di Jiu interrupted Yu Qianxi’s wild imagination.

“Why is there nothing here?” Yu Qianxi, who only saw gray sandy ground, subconsciously asked.

Di Jiu chuckled. “If anyone could see it, it would not be our turn to come to this Dao fruit garden.”

Since he cultivated the Nomological Dao, he had sensed the fluctuations of the natural Dharma Arrays here long ago. It was clear that this place had been sealed by a natural Defense Array.
