Ninth In the World

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 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!
