Ninth in The World - Chapter 418

Chapter 418: 418

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 .

At first, he was still casting a part of his Spiritual Force out to sense the anarchic danger of his surroundings . Later, Di Jiu was completely submerged in the construction of the Dao eye . He did not recognize many of the nomological Dao runes the Dao eye produced .

An unknown period of time had already passed when a frightening chaotic nomological vortex ripped Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force barrier apart and slammed into Di Jiu’s torso .

Crack! A big wound that pierced through his front and reached his back was formed . This chaotic nomological vortex could have caused the destruction of his body if his body had not been a mid-stage Immortal Divine Body .

Di Jiu woke up after suffering that alarming injury . He hastily grabbed one Rainstorm Elixir and consumed it while he immediately changed location .

Di Jiu was not displeased by the severe injury he had suffered in the slightest . Instead, he felt happy and excited . Injuries, no matter how severe, could be swiftly healed so long as his body did not completely disintegrate . This was a benefit of having a mid-stage Immortal Divine Body .

What excited him was that his Dao eye was now fully formed . Furthermore, both his eyes, not only his left eye, had transformed into Dao eyes .

This made him feel even more grateful for the Ninth Dao Law . Without it, he would at most have transformed one eye into the Dao eye by consuming the Nomological Eye .

Di Jiu would have felt extremely strange if only one of his eyes had been transformed .

His Spiritual Force barrier stopped the surrounding chaotic nomological vortexes from proceeding towards him once again . Di Jiu opened his eyes and looked outside the barrier .

He was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he could distinguish the layers of the slightly weaker chaotic nomological vortexes . He could even identify the laws that constituted some of the low-level chaotic nomological vortexes .

In addition, his Dao eye could find the safest spot in the Chaotic Law Zone in a flash by pinpointing the area where the chaotic nomological vortexes were the weakest .

The stage of his Dao eye was still considered very low . Given the above capabilities of the current Dao eye, just how heaven-defying would it be when it leveled up?

When Di Jiu came into contact with the Nomological Eye, a detailed introduction of the fruit appeared at the back of the Book of the World . There was a total of seven stages to the Dao eye . The first five stages were the Mortal Dao Eye, the Spiritual Dao Eye, the Immortal Dao Eye, the Divine Dao Eye, and the Sacred Dao Eye respectively . There was no record of the sixth- and seventh-stage Dao eye .

There were only two possible explanations why that was so: One, the highest stage ever attained by the Dao eye was the Sacred Dao Eye; two, the highest stage the Dao eye could ever attain in this universe was the Sacred Dao Eye .

Di Jiu copped a feel of his Dao eye . As a Zenith Heaven Immortal, the Dao eye he currently possessed should have directly bypassed the Mortal Dao Eye stage and attained the Spiritual Dao Eye stage .

According to the Book of the World, the level-nine spiritual object Spatial Extremity Sprout was required in order to upgrade the Spiritual Dao Eye to the Immortal Dao Eye .

Di Jiu had no hope of easily obtaining a treasure like the Spatial Extremity Sprout . He would just take note of it since he possessed the Dao eye now .

The newly-attained Dao eye would act as a safeguard for him, in addition to his level-eight Immortal Force and mid-stage Immortal Divine Body, when he headed deeper into the Chaotic Law Zone .

Di Jiu wondered if Ye Xi had entered the recesses of the Chaotic Law Zone to gain insight into the time laws as well…

When he had this thought, he suddenly understood why Ye Xi had been able to enter the Chaotic Law Zone when the latter was only a Zenith Heaven Immortal . If his theory was correct, the only possibility was that Ye Xi also possessed a Dao 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 .
