Chapter 655: The Perfect World
Even though Di Jiu was immersed in perfecting the Dao runes and frantically raising his Divine Essence, he knew that he was half a step into the Primordial Dao Realm. As long as he kept going like this, he would definitely become a true second-step Dao Validation expert.
As Di Jiu was frantically performing the Nomological Qi Circulation and sweeping the Chaos Qi and Divine Spirit Qi to condense his Dao runes, a feeling of extreme weakness appeared. At that moment, Di Jiu could sense his cultivation rapidly dropping. Even his life-force and lifespan were rapidly dissipating.
Di Jiu was really shocked. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and knew a thing or two even though he had not truly joined any sects. It seemed like the Colossal Degeneration was only a rumor based on what he knew. Who had ever heard of the Colossal Degeneration after reaching the Primordial Dao Realm?
Crack! Di Jiu felt his Starry Sky meridian and his Spiritual Sea, which he frantically extended, start to crack.
It was like a delicate sprout was coming out of the soil. He was on the verge of collapsing in this dangerous situation, so he could be destroyed by it at any time.
As Di Jiu felt terrified and did not know what to do, a new life-force abruptly appeared. Then, it started moisturizing his Spiritual Sea and Starry Sky meridian, which had cracked.
The delicate sprout grew increasingly firm and matured st.u.r.dily at maximum speed. At the same time, it frantically absorbed all the surrounding nutrients…
His cracked Starry Sky meridian and Spiritual Sea started to be restored. Once again, Di Jiu’s cultivation rose frantically and the Dao runes were perfected.
Boom! As if thunder had rumbled in Di Jiu’s mind, he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
He extended his powerful, vast domain aura. At that moment, the entire void seemed to be under his control. Even though he knew this was a pretentious feeling, he was still excited.
He had reached the Primordial Dao Realm, so this was the true second step. In this void, he at least had his own foothold. He no longer needed to flee anywhere after seeing Jiang Dai or dare to come out of hiding in the Vast Ruins.
Jiang Dai had missed the best time to kill Di Jiu. Therefore, only Di Jiu would chase and kill Jiang Dai. So what if he was one of the Ten Major Geniuses?
Di Jiu was even more excited to discover that his Ninth World was completely different.
Ever since he had condensed the Ninth World back then, it’d had traces of the Ninth Dao Law as well as the aura of the Sacred Yin Pearl, Spiritual Sea, and Dao force.
At the moment, there were no such traces in his Ninth World. The mountains, rivers, lakes, gra.s.sland, and sky grew more distinct. That familiar Heaven Earth Law…
Wasn’t this his Primordial Dao law? By the time he reached the second step, his world had completely formed a new nomological world with his Dao law according to his will. Without needing to think, Di Jiu could also guess that as his cultivation rose in the future, his Ninth World law would also be perfected alongside it.
A green color appeared in Di Jiu’s line of sight. He excitedly stepped into the Ninth World and bent down.
The Creation Wood he had planted had germinated. The Creation Cauldron and that little chunk of Creation Wood had completely fused and vanished. Instead, they had been replaced by a delicate sprout that was one foot long and released a rich life-force aura and heaven-opening aura.
Di Jiu suddenly understood. When he reached the Primordial Dao Realm and his Dao was about to disintegrate, a new life-force appeared and saved him. This allowed him to once again sense the vastness of the Dao and be revived from death. The Creation Wood Sprout had saved him.
“Thank you!” Di Jiu bowed, feeling sincerely grateful for the Creation Wood.
As though hearing Di Jiu say thanks, the Creation Wood Sprout started to sway.
Di Jiu calmed down from his ecstasy and recalled how weak he had been in the past. He had indeed heard of the Colossal Degeneration but that had been just a rumor. Would there still be Colossal Degeneration after he reached the Primordial Dao?
Unless his foundation was still insufficient and had led to this situation? But this was not the case for his Nomological Dao. He had understood his foundation thanks to the vast universe. He definitely could not advance forcefully even without understanding them, not even with cultivating resources.
Since his foundation was not lacking, why had that terrifying Heaven Earth Colossal Degeneration almost killed him the instant he had reached the Primordial Dao Realm?
Di Jiu had just thought of this when he sensed a hint of incompatible aura in a corner of his Ninth World.
When Di Jiu had reached the Primordial Dao Realm, the Ninth World had formed mountains and rivers, thus evolving the Heaven Earth Law. This world had completely fused with his Dao. In that case, how could there be an incompatible aura?
Di Jiu opened his palm and captured the trace of incompatible aura that floated in his palm.
This was willpower? Di Jiu instantly understood. There was actually such strong willpower? This was also an obsession.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on this hint of obsessed willpower and he very soon understood it. This was the obsession of the Ninth Dao Law that he had never realized. His low cultivation aside, the Ninth World had yet to evolve into a true Dao completely.
When he’d reached the second step that day, the Ninth World had completely evolved into a true Dao. He had discovered clearly this hint of willpower, which was different in his world.
Di Jiu was indignant. While the Ninth Dao Law still had an intent, it’d wanted him to make a move. In the end, the Sacred Yin Pearl had saved him. However, the Ninth Dao Law had plotted against the Sacred Yin Pearl, making it immediately shatter. It had then ended up forming a new world with his Dao law, which was his Ninth World.
Di Jiu had previously thought that the Ninth Dao Law’s hint of obsession had vanished. He had not expected that it would still be present. When he reached the second step, an entirely different kind of willpower appeared that wanted to destroy him completely.
He was lucky he had planted the Creation Wood. When he reached the second step this time, the Ninth World evolved and the Creation Wood germinated, hence saving him once more.
Di Jiu opened his palm and a Dao fire appeared. He had to burn away this hint of obsessed willpower.
As he was about to make a move, he hesitated.
This hint of obsessed willpower came evidently from the Ninth Dao Law. It definitely was not against Di Jiu but against the Master of the Universe. He simply did not care what the Ninth Dao Law thought and had set up his own Dao with all his strength. As a result, the Ninth Dao Law had left this hint of obsessed willpower behind, wanting to get rid of Di Jiu before continuing to deal with the Master of the Universe.
In that case, why hadn’t it left behind this hint of obsession for the Master of the Universe?
Di Jiu no longer hesitated. He bound this hint of obsession with restrictions, sealing it in the corner of the Ninth World. Perhaps someday, he might be able to use it.
…
When Di Jiu came out of the Ninth World, he saw an excited Ding Chi. Di Jiu knew that Ding Chi had gone through his Dao Transformation successfully.
“Brother Ding, congratulations on the Dao Transformation.” Di Jiu patted Ding Chi and congratulated him.
Ding Chi replied excitedly, “Brother Di, without you, I don’t know when I would have reached the Dao Transformation. Even if I had succeeded, I wouldn’t have made my current achievements.”
Ding Chi knew this better than anyone. He had reached the Dao Transformation by following Di Jiu and experiencing the purification of the hint of Chaos aura. At the moment, his Dao foundation was much deeper than it had been in the past.
He did not need to ask Di Jiu to know that Di Jiu had certainly reached the second step. He had sensed that kind of vast Heaven Earth Dao aura previously.
“Not bad. Lightning also became a level-three divine beast. We can go to the Void City.” When Di Jiu saw Lightning rush out proudly, he felt very satisfied.
Little Tree could not compare to Lightning’s cultivation speed. Even Black Fire might not necessarily advance faster than Lightning. If he did not accelerate, Lightning might very likely surpa.s.s him in the future.
He had consumed a big part of the three supreme-grade Dao meridians. Even if he used them all up, it would be worth it as long as he reached the second step. Di Jiu put away the three Dao meridians that were yet to be fully used up. He then drew out the high-grade flying boat and rushed toward the Void City once again.
