Chapter 787: Going Further
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once Di Jiu reached the 13th floor, a violent force once again swept over, this time an even stronger force than the one on the 12th floor.
Di Jiu slashed with his Order-Breaking Saber Move again before he frantically performed the Nomological Qi Circulation. With every Qi Circulation, he felt that terrifying suppression increasingly weaken.
Several days later, Di Jiu finally stabilized his figure and removed that terrifying suppression.
He was slightly anxious. There were many floors in the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda, and the higher floors were definitely increasingly more difficult. If the time spent on each floor increased, he was afraid that it might delay him from going to the Xian Ocean.
Even so, Di Jiu did not want to stop halfway and thus entered the 14th floor.
Pfft! It felt as if his entire soul had been torn apart. Once Di Jiu arrived on the 14th floor, he opened his mouth and spat out an arrow of blood.
Di Jiu even suspected in fear that if he did not cultivate the nomological cultivation technique or performed it once he entered the 14th floor, he would have been blasted out of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda.
It wouldn’t do if this went on. While Di Jiu performed the Nomological Qi Circulation, he tried to bring that terrifying nomological force into the Ninth World.
What surprised him was that he easily swept the surrounding terrifying nomological force into the Ninth World. At the moment, he did not even need to continue the Nomological Qi Circulation. The nomological force between Heaven and Earth and the suppression of the soul also disappeared without a trace. No matter how vast and powerful the suppression was, it could still be split by the Ninth World.
This was the final outcome. Without thinking, Di Jiu reached the 15th floor…
Then, he reached the 16th floor, the 17th floor…
…
When Di Jiu reached the 15th floor, a regretful sigh came from the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda Square, as the golden dot on the Heavenly Union Dao Tablet had disappeared from the square. The disappearance of the golden dot represented the failure of the cultivator who had entered the 14th floor, who would then get thrown out of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda.
Everyone was looking for Di Jiu, as they knew who had entered the 14th floor. Unfortunately, no one found him, as the cultivator who had entered the 14th floor seemed to have disappeared from the air.
An eccentric young man with a golden crown was also searching around. At the moment, he was more excited than anyone else. The person with the surname Ning had only reached the 12th floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda that year and obtained the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Today, this guy had actually reached the 14th floor.
He was sure that the guy who had entered the 14th floor had obtained the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Of course, the Quintessential Essence of the Universe was his focus, but there were also other things he was focused on. Anyone who could go above the tenth floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda definitely had secrets.
However, all these things would very soon belong to him. As long as he had a top-notch Dharma treasure, he would definitely regain his strength.
If the Cosmic Cauldron had not been snatched back then, thus causing him to lose his opportunity, would he still have ended up where he was today? He was not even qualified to participate in the Creation War and he still remained in this corner.
The old zombies that he looked down on, who had snatched away his Cosmic Cauldron, had reached the third step. On the other hand, despite how many years had passed, he, Gou Wansheng, was just a half-step Dao Integration expert.
After searching with his Spiritual Force, Gou Wansheng was immediately sure that the cultivator who had entered the 14th floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda had yet to come out. Otherwise, he was sure that he would have seen him.
He was not in a hurry. Since he had waited for so many years, would he mind waiting for a few more days? In any case, he would not let the person who had reached the 14th floor escape.
…
When Di Jiu reached the 18th floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda, even though he immediately diverted that terrifying, crushing nomological force into the Ninth World, that powerful crushing force struck and made Di Jiu feel as if the universe had been flipped backward and Chaos had collapsed.
At the moment, Di Jiu had begun to perform the Nomological Qi Circulation. The clear, vast nomological Dao runes of the universe gave Di Jiu the misperception that he was in a Primal Chaos location.
The clear, substantial laws came and went as Di Jiu took a cold breath. If he cultivated in such a place, the third step would not be difficult, let alone Primordial Chaos, right?
After scanning the place with his Spiritual Force, Di Jiu immediately understood that this was the 18th floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda, which was also the top.
Di Jiu had yet to see where the Quintessential Essence of the Universe was. The most important thing for him was to quickly reach the late-stage Primordial Chaos Realm. If he did not cultivate in a place with such conditions, it would be simply a sin.
Di Jiu did not take out the supreme-grade divine spirit meridians. Why would he still need them to cultivate in a place with rich Heaven Earth Divine Spirit Qi?
After two continuous Qi Circulations, Di Jiu noticed a difference. There was really an epoch-making aura here that was like Primal Chaos Dao runes.
Layers and layers of Dao runes moved along with Di Jiu’s Nomological Qi Circulation and constantly formed a Dao cocoon around Di Jiu. Each and every moment, Di Jiu’s aura was frantically rising. He had now long forgotten everything about the outside world and only frantically cultivated here.
In just dozens of days, the Dao runes in Di Jiu’s Starry Sky meridian grew increasingly clear, just like the substantial nomological Dao runes on the top floor of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda.
For the first time, Di Jiu felt that he had been integrated with the universe. At the moment, all the forces in the universe had been captured by him. He was no longer a speck of insignificant dust in the universe that could be destroyed at any time.
Boom!
It felt as if his soul and physical body had been irrigated at the same time by the purest Dao rune aura of Heaven and Earth. Di Jiu’s body was filled with a kind of coldness and freshness as he suddenly opened his eyes.
He had reached the late-stage Primordial Chaos Realm, and his cultivation level was incomparably condensed. Likewise, his Spiritual Sea had once again become stronger and his Spiritual Force seemed to have penetrated the universe. Despite this misperception, Di Jiu was still surging deep down.
An opportunity. An opportunity was really important indeed. Even in a dream, he had never thought that he would reach the late-stage Primordial Chaos Realm so easily.
However, he was not surprised. For the first time, he had not used any divine spirit herbs or treasures. His Dao eye had reached the fourth level, which was the Divine Dao Eye.
He opened his Dao eye and faintly saw some outlines in the universe. Maybe there were endless mysteries hidden there.
Di Jiu withdrew his gaze from the void and then looked at the center of the top of the pagoda, where a jade basin was floating.
The jade basin was surrounded by endless circulating Dao runes, and that Dao rune aura was similar to the aura of the beginning of the universe that he had felt before. This kind of aura enveloped a ten-feet radius around the jade basin just like an unapproachable layer of a natural restriction.
Inside the jade basin was a half-full basin of golden liquid.
Di Jiu stood up excitedly, almost sure that the Quintessential Essence of the Universe that he wanted the most was in that basin.
He almost wanted to burst into laughter. Rumor had it that it was hard to even obtain one drop of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, but he had easily obtained a basin full of it.
Upon thinking of that, Di Jiu could not bear it anymore. He raised his hand to tear the natural restriction that enveloped the jade basin and grabbed the basin. Just like a restriction in that realm, it was like a layer of membrane that was easily torn apart by him.
From this point onward, this basin of Quintessential Essence of the Universe belonged to him.
Boom! It felt as if the entire sky had fallen apart, and the breached cosmic force struck Di Jiu’s body at that moment. That mighty force almost blasted Di Jiu out of the Heavenly Union Dao Pagoda.
By the time Di Jiu barely stabilized his body, he was already pale. He looked at the jade basin, secretly feeling shocked. Could he not be able to even take away a bit of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe?
Regardless of the method he used, he had to take away some Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Di Jiu took a deep breath and took out a jade kettle. This was the Vast Pure Sacred Kettle he had picked up from the Vast Ruins in the Dao World. It should be a treasure of the Vast Pure Sacred Sect. However, Di Jiu naturally used it to contain the Quintessential Essence of the Universe.
