Jiang Dai grew pale. Five Primordial Chaos experts and 21 Primordial Dao experts had been searching on the third level of the Vast Ruins for two months. They definitely should have discovered Di Jiu on the third level.

 In fact, they had searched for many days in the Vast Ruins. However, they had not seen Di Jiu at all.

 Since nobody had found Di Jiu although many people had been searching for him in the Vast Ruins, some of them suspected that Di Jiu had already left or Jiang Dai had lied to them. Thus, some cultivators started to take their leave. They did not want to waste their time on meaningless things on the third level.

 Furthermore, the nomological whirlpools and nomological displacements in the Vast Ruins could inflict a fatal injury on the weaker Primordial Dao experts.

 When the first person took his leave, numerous cultivators followed. Even Qiang Mu, who longed for the Chaos Qi, also took his leave after searching in vain for two and a half months.

 He also believed that Jiang Dai had lied. If Di Jiu was on the third level of the Vast Ruins, so many experts would have found him after searching for a few months even if Di Jiu had the Five-Element World.

 
 Since everyone had searched the third level but had not found Di Jiu, the only possibility was that he was no longer on the third level.

 Even Jiang Dai suspected that Di Jiu had left the third level, but where could he have gone? He certainly could not have gone to the second level or left this place.

 He believed that if Di Jiu had escaped and left the Vast Ruins, he could not have gotten past his obstruction. If Di Jiu was not on the third level, then the only possibility was that he had gone to the fourth level. As for using the talisman to leave the Vast Ruins, he believed that Di Jiu would not dare to do so. The laws in the Vast Ruins were shattered, chaotic, and complicated. If he used the talisman here, he would only allow himself to die faster.

 But how was this possible? Since even he could not stay on the fourth level for a long time, what kind of cultivation level was Di Jiu at? Unless Di Jiu had attained the Sacred Body…

 It was not that Jiang Dai looked down on Di Jiu. However, which of the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao world back then had been able to temper their body to the Sacred Body?

 Jiang Dai stood at the entrance to the fourth level of the Vast Ruins for a very long time but did not go in.

 
 Regardless of whether Di Jiu was on the fourth level, it was unlikely that he would find Di Jiu after going in.

 Even though he knew clearly that Di Jiu was in the Vast Ruins, he was unwilling to leave just like that. Not only did Di Jiu have the Chaos Qi, but he most likely had the Five-Direction Flags as well.

 After hesitating for half an hour, Jiang Dai decided to still wait for a while at the entrance of the third level that led to the second level. As for going to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect to take Yu Qianxi as his wife, he had already delayed that.

 Yu Qianxi had left the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. He had received this news long ago. However, it did not matter. The woman he’d set his eyes on could not go anywhere no matter where she escaped to. He was now waiting for news about the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Dao Integration expert. If there was really one, it would not benefit him to go there.

 …

 Di Jiu looked at the 12 Purple Heaven Pills with the nine pill inscriptions and felt simply satisfied. Not only was he a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint now, but he could also refine nine-patterned Dao Transformation Dao pills.

 The Purple Heaven Pill was a Dao Transformation Dao pill that would allow a perfected Dao Birth cultivator to gain insight into the Dao Transformation Realm. This kind of Dao pill was enough to cause a frenzy in a True Cultivation city, and he had refined 12 of them in one cauldron.

 
 He was now a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity and a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint. As long as he improved his strength, would he still have to worry about insufficient cultivating resources and treasures?

 Di Jiu stored the cauldron and Dao pills. He was relieved that his Nomological Dao was heaven-defying. Then, he spent half a year to advance from a Dao Modeling Alchemy Saint to a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint. Although this was thanks to the Dao fruits, the Nomological Dao he cultivated had contributed the most. Or perhaps, it was because of his Ninth Dao Law back then.

 If his Ninth Dao Law had not tried to control his Dao World, obliterate his soul’s willpower, and make him do things based on a fixed way, Di Jiu would not have destroyed the Dao law and integrated it with his Sacred Yin Pearl to form the Ninth World.

 After lamenting, Di Jiu still did not dare to go out.

 He did not know whether Jiang Dai was still guarding this place. It was better to be safe than sorry.

 In the Ninth World, Di Jiu sat on a supreme-grade Dao meridian underneath the Creation Wood with 50 million Divine Essence Pills sprinkled around him. During the Nomological Qi Circulation, Di Jiu found out in surprise that his cultivation level had started to slowly rise.

 
 He had yet to use the elixir pills, but it had started to rise. It was evident that this was due to his advancement to the Sacred Body. The Sacred Body had allowed his Nomological Dao to become broader.

 Even so, Di Jiu still took out a Purple Heaven Pill and swallowed it.

 While other people used the Purple Heaven Pill to attain the Dao Transformation Realm, Di Jiu used it so that his Dao Birth Realm cultivation would be faster. If they found out, their furious gazes could kill Di Jiu. However, he had to do it. If his cultivation level was low, he would be chased again when he went out.

 Once his cultivation level started to rise, Di Jiu completely forgot that he was still on the fifth level of the Vast Ruins and sank into deep seclusion.

 One year, two years passed…

 When Jiang Dai waited a third year, he could no longer carry on. He had set up a few hidden Surveillance Arrays at the entrance of the second level and the third level. Apart from that, he had also set up Surveillance Arrays at the entrance of the second level and the first level.

 Jiang Dai even called a Dao Transformation Sacred Emperor to wait for Di Jiu at the outermost entrance. Once Di Jiu came out, he would use his array to confine him and Jiang Dai would come as quickly as possible.

 
 A century had passed in a flash. Di Jiu’s cultivation level could no longer advance. Thus, he awakened from his deep seclusion.

 The 50 million Divine Essence Pills that he had put around him had nearly been used, and he had used 10 Purple Heaven Pills. On the other hand, Di Jiu had yet to check how many Dao meridians he had used.

 After using so many things, Di Jiu was still at the perfected Dao Birth and far from the Dao Transformation.

 He knew very well that no matter how much he wanted to use the Purple Heaven Pill to gain insight into the Dao Transformation in the Vast Ruins, it would not happen.

 Di Jiu sighed. He was aware that his cultivation level had improved considerably fast. In a century, he had reached the perfected Dao Birth.

 Not many cultivators had a cultivation speed like his in the Dao World. However, his cultivation speed aside, he had used tens of millions of Divine Essence Pills, high-grade divine crystals, supreme-grade Dao meridian, Chaos Qi, and the Purple Heaven Pill…

 If these things had been given to any Dao Birth Sacred Emperor, they might not only have reached the early-stage Dao Birth and the perfected Dao Birth but also succeeded in the Dao Transformation long ago. The only aspect that he was better at was that he had absorbed the Divine Essence more quickly.

 
 A century had passed, so Jiang Dai should not be in the Vast Ruins, right?

 There was no point in staying in the Vast Ruins anymore. Therefore, Di Jiu wanted to go out now. However, he still felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to go out.

 He had waited for a century, so why not wait a few more years? Di Jiu had decided to spend a few more years to refine some middle-grade, saber-shaped divine Dharma treasures. Now that he was already a Divine Array Great-Master, if he met Jiang Dai by any chance, his saber array could still resist.

 …

 When he found out that the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Yu Qianxi had gone to the Void Ocean, Jiang Dai still did not attack their Defense Array.

 The main reason was that the Vast Pure Sacred Sect was too secretive and he had not investigated whether there was a Dao Integration expert there or not. Thus, he could not take the risk now. He felt that even he lacked strength. Even though he should not be afraid of the Dao Integration expert now, it was very hard to remain unscathed.

 Right now, Jiang Dai could not be injured. If he did, he would certainly be surrounded by numerous Primordial Chaos experts and killed.
