Chapter 418 - The Dao Eye
The Dao eye fundamentally only existed in legends. It was said that the Dao eye could see through any illusion and deception, as well as any items that were of a lower caliber than the Dao eye law. This was an eye that could see the Heaven Earth Laws very distinctively.
All things in the universe were considered a type of law. In other words, a Dao eye that attained a sufficient level could see through everything in the universe.
A cultivator unskilled in the Array Dao could see through the array formation to spot the location of the array foundation if the Dao eye reached a certain level.
Di Jiu looked at the Nomological Eye he was holding in excitement. He had obtained many valuable items before, but he knew that the worth of the Dao eye to him now was second to only the Ninth Dao Law.
He would definitely have consumed other types of immortal spiritual fruits shortly after he had successfully identified them. However, the Nomological Eye was different. He wished that he could immediately consume the fruit and acquire the Dao eye.
Upon sensing that he would not be in any danger anytime soon in the place he was currently at, Di Jiu composed himself and carefully placed the fruit inside his mouth.
The Nomological Eye transformed into various abstruse nomological auras that permeated his body the moment he consumed the fruit.
At the moment, Di Jiu could only feel two interchanging hot and cold sensations in his left eye. Boundless Dao rune aura seemed to be pervading his left eye.
Di Jiu communicated with the Ninth Dao Law without hesitation and captured the nomological aura of the Dao eye. That cooling sensation was no longer limited to his left eye, as it swiftly also permeated his right eye.
Di Jiu suddenly shuddered as he thought about that. Would Ye Xi continue pursuing him after Di Jiu entered the Chaotic Law Zone, should the former be one of the people chasing after him?
Other people would not be able to enter the Chaotic Law Zone even if they were in the area. However, Ye Xi would be able if he possessed the Dao eye.
Right now, Di Jiu could only pray that Ye Xi was not one of the people chasing after him back then, or that Di Jiu was not on his radar. Would Ye Xi covet the Time Crystal or the Space Crystal as well if he had entered the Chaotic Law Zone before?
Although Di Jiu placated himself, this notion still bothered him. Even Ye Xi would not miss out on obtaining the profit-earning methods of selling the Starry Sky Tea.
He had to alter his plans regardless. Di Jiu had originally intended to attain a peak Immortal Divine Body by body-tempering here. He would leave this zone after he managed to gain insight into the time law or spatial law.
However, this new worry made him decide to leave immediately upon obtaining the Time Crystal.
The anarchic laws became increasingly dangerous the further he headed into the Chaotic Law Zone. Di Jiu possessed the Dao eye and a level-eight Immortal Force, yet he still had to be extremely cautious. Any distraction would be costly, as he would be killed by the chaotic nomological vortexes here or get ripped into pieces by the anarchic laws.
Di Jiu gained knowledge and experience related to various different laws with the aid of the Dao eye, although the level of the Dao eye was still low.
These laws included the five elements, as well as wind, thunder and ice. He did want to gain insight into these laws, but his target was time laws and spatial laws.
The number of wounds Di Jiu sustained as he slowly traveled within the Chaotic Law Zone increased.
At the moment, Di Jiu was making every effort to focus on moving further into the Chaotic Law Zone. He had completely forgotten to think about whether he could hold up against the more dangerous chaotic nomological vortexes.
With his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu sensed another powerful chaotic dislocation- a phenomenon Di Jiu had seen many times prior. He simply needed to shift his body to let this chaotic dislocation pass him by.
However, he was alarmingly in the process of shifting his body when he sensed time stop. His movement stopped as time stood still.
No, that was not right. The chaotic dislocation continued to streak towards him. Appalled, he was about to unsheathe the Heavenly Aqua Saber to defend himself, when he realized that he was incapable of doing so. He seemed to have frozen along with time.
Suddenly, a stream of blood sprouted out of his waist. Fortunately, Di Jiu had shifted his body, or he would have been cut into two as a result.
After the dislocation of the chaotic law passed, his surroundings came back to life.
Time law! Di Jiu had completely forgotten about the severe injury he was carrying, as all his attention was placed on the time law that had disappeared.
Di Jiu finally came to this realization after several moments.
A second time law would certainly appear given the appearance of the first one. Di Jiu knew very well that there was a high possibility of him being cut into two by the dislocated law if he remained at this spot to gain insight into the time laws. Nonetheless, he persisted and placed all his focus on the surrounding intersecting chaotic laws.
Di Jiu did not have to wait long. He sensed that familiar nomological fluctuation shortly afterward. This time, the chaotic nomological vortex, which contained one time law, was not headed towards him. His appreciation of the law was not affected, though.
All things in the universe had a form, and time was no exception. Even though Di Jiu was incapable of understanding the form time had at the moment, he was still able to communicate with the nomological aura of time to gain some understanding of its form.
The speed of the time law passing by was simply too fast. Di Jiu had just captured the traces of this law when it immediately disappeared.
While putting all his focus on capturing the next time law, Di Jiu stood stationary in the same spot. He did not care how many times his Spiritual Force barrier had been destroyed by the nomological vortexes or how many wounds he had sustained.
First time law, second time law…
Di Jiu was not aware of how many time laws had passed him by. His clothes had already been ripped to shreds by the chaotic laws, and his flesh and bones had been exposed. These details did not concern Di Jiu, however, for he was still attempting to capture the Dao rune aura of the time laws among the anarchic laws.
