Ninth In the World

Di Jiu was not afraid even if he made a move. In a place like this, where the stronger were more respected, blindly moving aside and getting afraid would only cause him to die even faster.

When Di Jiu returned to his residence, he took out the two jade slips immediately.

The Wormhole jade slip introduced the Wormhole in great detail. The Wormhole was only a realm boundary of the Dao Protectorate and Worm Protectorate. The Dao World did not allow the worms of the Worm Protectorate to enter, so the cultivators guarded the Wormhole all year long.

The Wormhole between the Worm Protectorate and the Dao World was more suppressed by the Heaven Earth Law. Once the Dao Seed was condensed, they could no longer continue staying in the Wormhole. However, it was impossible to condense the Dao Seed in a place like the Wormhole.

Di Jiu did not know what the Dao Seed was, but he believed that the other jade slip would certainly explain.

The worms in the Worm Protectorate were odd, but most of them carried a worm poison that would spread, especially when they were killed.

There were also benefits to guarding the Wormhole. Most of the materials of the worms could be used to refine all kinds of Dharma treasures.

Part of the worms’ meat was also very delicious, and some of the inedible worms could be used as fertilizers for divine spirit herbs. The antidote for the Wormhole was also refined from the worms’ gallbladder.

Of course, these were not the most important benefits. There were contribution points for every worm they killed. If they wanted to leave the Wormhole as soon as possible, there were only two ways. They could either condense the Dao Seed or rush into the top 10 of the contribution point list.

They could only dream of condensing the Dao Seed, so the only way was to rush to the top 10 of the contribution ranking.

The jade slip also introduced all kinds of ways to kill the worms. However, Di Jiu had not seen any worms yet so he only took a look.

He put down the Wormhole introduction jade slip and picked up another Dao World introduction jade slip.

This jade slip said straightforwardly that true cultivators started from Dao Modeling. It was called Dao Modeling because they had to condense their Dao Seed and model out their own Dao embryonic form. After they condensed their Dao Seed, they might not necessarily model it absolutely. However, the cultivators who had not condensed their Dao Seed certainly could not model their Dao.

Di Jiu finally understood what the Dao Seed mentioned earlier was. After an Immortal Emperor ascended to the Dao World and condensed their Dao Seed, they could try modeling their Dao.

After the Dao Modeling, they could birth their Dao followed by the Dao Transformation.

The Dao Modeling and the Dao Transformation were only the first steps of Dao cultivation.

This also meant that Di Jiu’s current cultivation had not even crossed the door of the Dao. As for how the Dao World truly was, the jade slip only said that once they left the Wormhole and went through the Leaping Dao Door, the first thing they would have to do was choose a Dao door to enter.

Only when they chose a good Dao door could their Dao continue to get better. They could then move toward a higher level.

Di Jiu put away the jade slip, thinking that it exaggerated somewhat. He cultivated the Nomological Dao, after all, and had a thorough understanding of the Heaven Earth Law. If his Dao cultivation had not gained a rudimentary mastery, Di Jiu certainly would not admit it.

He supposed this jade slip had been written by some ascended cultivator from the Wormhole and was thus not accurate.

Di Jiu did not cultivate right away, as he had already set up his nomological array flags in the entire surroundings of the Murderous Dao Lake. At the moment, he was condensing nomological array flags. After he covered the whole space, he opened his Dao eye.

Why was one not able to cultivate by the Murderous Dao Lake? He had to figure this out. If he didn’t, he would rather move away.

Half an hour had passed and Di Jiu could now see a vague red dot in the Murderous Dao Lake. However, his Dao eye level was too low so he could not make out what it was clearly. Since his Spiritual Force could not scan this thing, it should not be something simple.

Zhuo Wujia was analyzing the jade slip, so Di Jiu submerged himself into the Murderous Dao Lake.

Once he entered the Murderous Dao Lake, Di Jiu could feel his surrounding Immortal Essence and his Spiritual Sea start to become chaotic. A kind of Heaven Earth Law that did not belong to him permeated his Spiritual Sea and intent.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea had not been ordinary for a long time. Even if he allowed these nomological Dao runes to permeate his Spiritual Sea, he would still not be afraid. Even without the Ninth World, his Spiritual Sea could restrain this kind of strange nomological Dao runes.

Di Jiu cultivated the Heaven Earth Nomological Dao, so he did not allow these nomological Dao runes to permeate his Spiritual Sea at all and sweep out the nomological array flags.

In a short time, the nomological Dao runes that had wanted to permeate Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea and intent were restrained by him and turned into nothingness in a moment.

Di Jiu had not expected that this would be just the beginning. As soon as he destroyed the first nomological Dao runes that wanted to permeate his Spiritual Sea, a second one was followed by a third one. Then, unending nomological Dao runes swept over.

Di Jiu sighed. It was no wonder that this was called the Murderous Dao Lake. This was him. Anyone else would not have been able to stop so many nomological Dao runes from permeating them. If they could not do so, their Spiritual Sea would disintegrate at best. However, their Dao foundation would be destroyed for sure.

Di Jiu’s nomological arrays were no longer polite so they swept over in an earth-shattering manner. Regardless of how many nomological Dao runes did not belong to him, Di Jiu’s major arrays engulfed them without hesitation and then killed them off without mercy.

In the very beginning, Di Jiu was still resisting. However, later on, his nomological arrays grew more mighty and the area he controlled became bigger. He enveloped the entire space both inside and outside the lake and would sweep these runes with his large arrays to wear them off as long as those special nomological Dao runes could permeate his Spiritual Sea and intent.

After half an hour, Di Jiu arrived at the red dot at the bottom of the lake.

So far, no matter how low his Dao eye level was, he could clearly make out the red dot. It was a heptagonal red crystal emitting frantic nomological Dao rune aura.

Di Jiu was very familiar with this nomological Dao rune, which was the one that had been worn off by his nomological arrays previously. This kind of Dao rune seemed to have only one goal: to invade the cultivator’s Spiritual Sea and intent.

It looked like this item was behind the Murderous Dao Lake.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force propelled and nomological array flags enveloped this heptagonal red crystal. At the same time, his Spiritual Force permeated it.

Once his Spiritual Force came into contact with this heptagonal red crystal, a frantic Dao rune aura swept over. He did not hold back his nomological array flags either. Apart from that, his Spiritual Force also turned into blade flares and started tearing apart the heptagonal red crystal.

When he sensed the nomological Dao runes sweep over like violent waves, Di Jiu was silently startled. His Starry Sky Spiritual Sea and Starry Sky meridian were unbearable while facing this. Any other cultivator would definitely have died. However, Di Jiu still had his nomological arrays compared to this heptagonal red crystal.

Within an hour, he could completely lock the nomological Dao runes in this red crystal. Following that, his nomological Dao rune aura also permeated it and he completely understood what this was a moment later.

This was actually a Dao Seed that someone had put in the Murderous Dao Lake. What was the meaning of it? The Dao Seed had definitely been condensed by a cultivator’s Dao. However, theoretically, the Dao Seed was a cultivator’s everything. Why would someone leave it here?

Anyone who had put his Dao Seed in such a place could not be good. Di Jiu set up some nomological nails without hesitation and nailed them to this Dao Seed. He then set up restrictions outside this Dao Seed. After he completely restrained it, Di Jiu threw this Dao Seed into his Ninth World.

No matter how impressive the owner of this Dao Seed was, he had to put up with his Ninth World.

…

Nearly at the same time that Di Jiu put away this heptagonal Dao Seed, a mournful shout was heard from the seclusion place of the Star Dock’s Dao World Young Master, Sha Puyu.

When someone rushed into the Young Master’s seclusion cave abode, he realized that Young Master Sha Puyu was bleeding from his seven orifices and had lost consciousness before entering an extreme coma.
