Ninth In the World - Chapter 582

Chapter 582: The Scheme of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s Disciple

Di Jiu did not have as many divine spirit herbs as blacksmithing materials. In just two years, he had used up all his divine spirit herbs.

However, he had some more low-level divine pills on him that were all Dao Modeling Divine Pills. The best elixir pills were only Stacked Space Elixirs. The reason the Stacked Space Elixirs were the best elixir pills on Di Jiu was because his Stacked Partition Herbs were from the Chaos nest.

Even though he could not refine any good elixir pills, Di Jiu was satisfied by the fact that he had been able to become a Dao Modeling Alchemy Deity in just two years. His only regret was that since he had refined the Dao Modeling Divine Pills now, none of them had a pill inscription.

He could sense that if he wanted to continue improving his Blacksmith Dao and Alchemy Dao, he would have to first improve his cultivation level and flame. He had to improve his flame even if he did not improve his cultivation level. Otherwise, he would not be able to refine an even higher level of Dharma treasures and elixir pills.

As for the elixir pills with pill inscriptions, he had to refine them with a divine flame.

Di Jiu tidied up everything in his world that he had obtained from alchemy and blacksmithing in the past few years. During these years, he had not cultivated. However, what he had reaped was not any poorer.

Since he had continuously practiced blacksmithing for several years and refined nomological materials, Di Jiu’s Array Dao had improved extremely rapidly. Even though he was just a level-two Divine Array Master, his Array Dao was not the same as an ordinary cultivator’s. After all, there was no trajectory to follow when he set arrays up.

Even if some level-three or mid-level Divine Array Masters could set up level-two divine arrays, they would not be as perfect as his.

He had no choice if he could not find the nomological fragments. He could go out now. After he went out, he would inquire about where the items that would advance his flame were.

When Di Jiu was about to leave his Ninth World, he suddenly sensed intense fluctuations in his Spiritual Sea.

Then, he shockingly found out that the Surveillance Array that he had set up outside had been turned into fragments. He hurriedly scanned the area with his Spiritual Force, only to see that the mountain peak he was on at the moment was also turning into fragments.

When a terrifying nomological fragment whirlpool swept over, even Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force that had been extended was turned into scraps.

What a terrifying nomological fragment whirlpool. Di Jiu’s heart felt cold with fear.

After he had put himself to the test in the Vast Ruins for decades, he had naturally seen a nomological fragment whirlpool. However, the nomological fragment whirlpool that Di Jiu had seen was a breeze compared to this huge whirlpool.

This nomological fragment whirlpool was simply a huge crusher. If anything landed in the whirlpool, it would be turned into scraps by the chaotic laws.

Fortunately, he was in his Ninth World. Otherwise, with this terrifying nomological fragment approaching, he might not necessarily have had a chance to escape into his Ninth World.

The terrifying nomological fragment whirlpool came and left quickly.

In just half an hour, the nomological fragment whirlpool vanished into the distance. Di Jiu then came out of his Ninth World. He had initially dug a cave abode in one of the mountain peaks. However, at the moment, would there still be a mountain peak? That mountain peak had long been turned into nothingness before vanishing in the Vast Ruins.

Two fist-sized light golden crystals appeared not far away from Di Jiu. When his Spiritual Force landed on them, he could immediately sense their rich metal-element nomological aura.

This was a nomological fragment?

This thought only lasted for a while before Di Jiu became aware that these were definitely metal-element nomological fragments. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and extended his hands to take them as he rejoiced.

He had initially planned to leave. However, he had not expected that before he left, he would obtain two pieces of metal-element nomological fragments. These two were definitely priceless. After he sold them, he might have enough cultivating resources to break through to the Dao Birth.

“Fellow Daoist…” When Di Jiu was about to turn and leave, an extremely weak voice stopped him. He scanned the area with his Spiritual Force and discovered a Principal Spirit not far away from him that was about to shatter. It sounded like a female cultivator.

Before Di Jiu could say anything, a half-foot-long jade kettle came from the Principal Spirit.

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed on the Principal Spirit, he immediately knew that the Principal Spirit was about to disintegrate completely due to the nomological whirlpool. Nobody could save this Principal Spirit. However, Di Jiu had Two-Realm Flowers in his Ninth World that could be used to save the Principal Spirit.

Before Di Jiu could speak, the Principal Spirit once again spoke. “Please bring me back to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect…”

Di Jiu hurriedly replied, “You can’t speak. It’s very dangerous now. However, you’ll have a chance to live…”

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, the Principal Spirit suddenly said, “I’m sorry, you don’t have to send me off…”

With that, the Principal Spirit instantly vanished into thin air without a trace.

Di Jiu sighed. He knew that the Principal Spirit had completely perished. As for whether it could reincarnate, that would only depend on luck. When this Principal Spirit perished, it still had its wisdom. Since it was also from the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, it should be able to be reincarnated theoretically.

When he had entered this mountain peak earlier, he had sensed a cultivator in seclusion. He now knew that it had been the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s disciple.

Di Jiu walked over and picked up the jade kettle. He was puzzled, as the Vast Pure Sacred Sect’s disciple had clearly told him to bring the jade kettle back. Why had she apologized before she had died and not let him take it back?

Once the jade kettle landed in Di Jiu’s hands, his expression turned ugly. A valiant nomological aura in the jade kettle had adhered to his hands before permeating his body.

If he had not cultivated the Nomological Dao and had been more sensitive to the Heaven Earth Law than anyone else, he might not have sensed it.

At that moment, Di Jiu fully understood. This woman wanted him to take the jade kettle to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect and later die because of it. The Vast Pure Sacred Sect was considered a high-end sect and its disciples were despicable.

As long as he left the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, this law permeation would be like carrying a huge light bulb on the head. Even if he did not go to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect, he reckoned that the sect would also very quickly find him.

Once the jade kettle touched his hands, a grand, majestic aura rushed forth. Di Jiu was certain that this jade kettle was not anything simple. He opened his palm and the jade kettle landed in his Ninth World.

This female cultivator had managed to speak properly and scheme, so no matter how good this jade kettle was, Di Jiu would not keep it. He would take it to the Vast Pure Sacred Sect sooner or later.

However, this woman had wanted him to take something and take his life. Di Jiu was extremely furious about this. She could dream on about him taking the kettle. As for her apology and her asking him not to take it, Di Jiu supposed that she still had an end game. When she had heard his words, she had given up scheming.

If this was anyone else, it might have been too late. Regardless of whether this female cultivator had wanted to trick him or not, as long as he picked up the jade kettle, he would be tricked.

Just half an hour after Di Jiu sat down, he stripped off the nomological aura that had permeated his body before assimilating it.

Thanks to his Nomological Dao, these small movements were only transient to him.

He could go out now.

Di Jiu would not forget the path he had taken. His body flashed and his Spiritual Force escape technique extended, rapidly rushing toward the first level.

Five months later, a different Di Jiu walked out of the Vast Ruins.

A long-haired cultivator with a full beard walked out of the Vast Ruins, yet this was not eye-catching. Cultivators who went into the Vast Ruins teamed up, and one or two of them would come out in the end.

Di Jiu did not plan on going to the grayish-yellow hall. Instead, he directly teleported back to the First Evolution Dao Sect.

“Wait up…” When Di Jiu walked past the grayish-yellow hall, an abrupt voice called out.

Di Jiu turned his head to see a woman who looked astonished to see him. He recognized her. She was the one who had sold him the Vast Ruins introduction jade slip. She had wanted to save some money for him so she had not let him purchase the route jade slip. This had caused him trouble instead and left an impression on him.

“Hi.” Di Jiu nodded at the woman.

“It’s really you?” The woman stared at Di Jiu with wide eyes. She then covered her mouth in disbelief.

Decades ago, she had heard that Di Jiu had entered the Vast Ruins alone. Thus, she regretted this a lot. She had not expected that, decades later, not only would he not perish in the Vast Ruins, but he would also come out alone.

“Yes, it’s me. You’re right. These are for you. Goodbye.” Di Jiu threw a storage bag at the woman. He had found an abundance of Five-Element materials in the Vast Ruins.

Most of the Five-Element materials had nearly been used up during his blacksmithing training. Since the remaining ones were not very valuable to Di Jiu, he casually gave this female cultivator some of them.

“Thank you, thank you…” When the female cultivator reacted, Di Jiu had already gone far away.

She looked in the direction where Di Jiu had disappeared and felt peril. How formidable was he to be able to survive in the Vast Ruins for decades before coming out?

A normal second-step Dao Validation expert or even a Dao Transformation expert would rarely go to the Vast Ruins. Among the first-step Dao Validation experts, the Eternal Court Sacred Dao City’s genius, Bai Changyi, had the greatest survival rate in the Vast Ruins. However, Bai Changyi could not survive in the Vast Ruins for decades and come out unscathed, right?

This person was unexpectedly stronger than Bai Changyi. Who was he exactly?
