Ninth In the World

Chapter 577: Di Jiu’s Dao Modeling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu did not hesitate at all before he once again lifted his hands. “Cut off my Jumbo Footprint!”

As a Dao cultivator, he dreaded hesitation. Di Jiu knew clearer than most cultivators that since he had decided to cut off his Dao, he could not delay it. He would start from scratch.

Another trail of blood spurted out. Although Di Jiu’s face started getting pale, his movements were not stagnant at all.

“Cut off my Primeval Thunder Pattern!”

“Cut off my Primeval Thunder Saber!”

“Cut off my Gathering Peaks and Furious Waves!”

“Cut off my Wind-Rustling Move!”

...

As Di Jiu cut off his divine powers one after another, his face grew paler. However, his surrounding aura started to condense slowly and a new Dao rune aura slowly condensed on him.

“Cut off my Spiritual Force escape technique!”

“Cut off my Five-Element escape technique!”

After Di Jiu cut off his Five-Element escape technique, he felt relaxed all of a sudden. His surrounding Dao runes were clear and a kind of enlightenment emerged.

Di Jiu absorbed the Essence Energy of his surrounding divine crystals, which produced a rumbling sound in his body as his cultivation level rapidly rose. At the moment, his Starry Sky meridian and Starry Sky Spiritual Sea were constantly extending.

All the nomological fragments mixed with the rich divine essence before Di Jiu absorbed them.

Di Jiu did not care about the fact that no one else could cultivate in the Vast Ruins. No matter how many nomological fragments there were, they would be swept by his Dao Modeling whirlpool as long as they were in the vicinity before he absorbed them all.

Time flew by bit by bit. Di Jiu’s divine crystals were gradually declining and the remaining Immortal Essence aura in his Starry Sky meridian was gradually vanishing, completely turning into Divine Essence in the end.

After a long while, there were clear sounds in Di Jiu’s bones, meridians, and even his Spiritual Sea.

Di Jiu opened his eyes and let out cheerful roars.

A valiant domain aura had spread. Di Jiu knew he was way stronger than before he had modeled his Dao.

Many galaxies had formed in his Starry Sky meridian. Within every galaxy, the sound of the Divine Essence circulation was similar to the surging large river rushing forth continuously. His Spiritual Sea was also way wider, and his Spiritual Force was way more condensed. Based on his Dao force, Di Jiu supposed that his Spiritual Force had already attained the level-three Dao force.

He could now clearly understand his Array Dao level. He was indeed a peak level-one Divine Array Master.

A few Five-Element Beasts that were pacing back and forth outside Di Jiu’s Defense Array could sense his formidable aura. As a result, they rapidly turned around and left frantically.

Di Jiu opened his palm, turning the Defense Arrays and Confinement Killing Arrays that he had set up into fine powder.

Another clear sound rang out. Di Jiu once again opened his palm and his Heavenly Aqua Saber landed in his hands. He looked at it in pleasant surprise, as his Heavenly Aqua Saber had finally advanced to a low-grade divine weapon.

Di Jiu closed his eyes. The Gathering Peaks divine power that he had cut off once again formed into a new divine power instantly. He subconsciously took a step forward and used a fist move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid sounds of explosions, the Fist Mountains seemed to be always present between Heaven and Earth before Di Jiu sent a fist move out.

The connected Fist Mountains struck the grayish-brown soil, blasting apart a deep ravine.

Di Jiu took a look at his fist and mumbled. This was the true peak gathering fist move. When he made that fist move, the nomological aura in his divine power left no traces anymore.

In other words, his Gathering Peaks fist move had been perfected.

As expected, cutting his Dao to model his Dao had not completely made him lose this divine power. Instead, this divine power had transcended nirvana along with his Nomological Dao.

The divine power that had transcended nirvana might be the true great divine power.

After his Gathering Peaks, it was the turn of his Furious Waves, Jumbo Footprint, Primeval Thunder Saber...

Di Jiu’s divine powers were perfected one by one. After he perfected his Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art, his physical body was also completely perfected at the immortal divine body level.

At the moment, thunder flashes, saber shadows, fist winds, and footprints filled the space that Di Jiu occupied. This place had become a test trial venue for him to perfect his divine power and became a place for his new life.

Boom! When Di Jiu once again expanded the ravine before him with a Thunder Saber Move, he stopped perfecting his divine power.

He still had one more divine power that he had yet to perfect or understand. It was the Five-Element escape technique.

The moment he had cut off his Five-Element escape technique, Di Jiu had felt relaxed. He had not thought much for the sake of his Dao Modeling.

Now that he had succeeded, his intent was much clearer. He could deeply sense that the reason he had been unable to model his Dao was because he had learned the Five-Element escape technique besides perfecting all the laws in the world.

He had cut off many cultivation techniques for the sake of his Dao Modeling that were nothing like his Five-Element escape technique. After he had cut them off, he had felt relaxed all over.

Di Jiu had long suspected the Five-Element escape technique but he had not known where it came from.

After he had cut off his Five-Element escape technique, he had once again taken out the cultivation technique of the Five-Element escape technique. With one glance, he could make out that this Five-Element escape technique was really a great divine power. However, he still did not understand the problem that lay within.

This made him feel helpless based on the information he had and the deductions he had made. This Five-Element escape technique had been left behind by Jiang Dai in Dai He Hall. At the time, Jiang Dai must only have been an Immortal Emperor. It was unlikely that Di Jiu would not see through what an Immortal Emperor had messed up in the Five-Element escape technique.

Di Jiu could not figure this out so he did not bother thinking about it. Anyway, he still had his Spiritual Force escape technique and his Spiritual Force had once again become stronger. If he used his Spiritual Force escape technique, given his current strength, even a Dao Transformation cultivator might not necessarily catch up with him.

A successful Dao Modeling was the biggest encouragement for Di Jiu.

He gave himself a dusting spell to remove the dust on his body and tidied up his remaining divine crystals. He then carried his Heavenly Aqua Saber and walked deep into the Vast Ruins.

Even though he had successfully gone through his Dao Modeling, he did not plan on going out right away. The Vast Ruins were filled with shattered Heaven Earth Law. If other cultivators came here for a test trial, apart from sensing their own divine power and searching for some materials, they would not be able to cultivate. However, Di Jiu was different so he could put himself to the test here.

In the Vast Ruins were all kinds of shattered Heaven Earth Law aside from the Five-Element Beasts.

Di Jiu did not know how long it had been since the Vast Ruins had appeared. The map of the introduction jade slip that he had purchased was very coarse. This showed that many cultivators who entered the Vast Ruins did not bring along a map. The scenery was pretty much similar in most areas of the Vast Ruins. Thus, it would be hard to draft even if they brought along a map.

Cultivation was not limited to time. A decade later, Di Jiu, who had removed his disguise long ago, had long hair. He also had a full beard even though he was not in disguise.

Unlike when he had just entered the Vast Ruins, he had a majestic aura similar to the Vast Ruins on him.

In just a decade, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had increased by another level and his cultivation level had attained the mid-stage Dao Modeling.

Apart from that, he had also accumulated a huge pile of nomological materials of all sorts that he had picked up. He did not bother picking up materials with a vague nomological aura eventually. In these 10 years, he had also slain many Five-Element Beasts whose carcasses were not valuable. Otherwise, Di Jiu’s ring might have been full.

In a decade, Di Jiu had increasingly perfected all kinds of divine power. Due to setting up the nomological array flags a long time ago, his Array Dao had once again gone up another level, turning him into a level-two Divine Array Master.

However, after walking in the Vast Ruins for a decade, he had yet to see the entrance to the second level.

In fact, Di Jiu was tired of staying on the first level and wanted to take a look at the second level. It would be best if there were one or two nomological fragments.

One day, Di Jiu put himself to the test in the Vast Ruins but heard an explosion that included divine power.

Di Jiu scanned the area with his Spiritual Force right away. He very soon saw a young man in gold who was surrounded by hundreds of Five-Element Beasts. He relied on a Defense Array disc and a set of formidable divine weapon armor to barely resist the attacks of the hundreds of Five-Element Beasts.
