Ninth In the World-Chapter 882 - Up To The Top
Chapter 882: Up To The Top
Someone there had reached the third step?
At the moment, all the cultivators of the Dao Abyss seemed to believe that someone had arrived at the Mountain Gaze and had reached the third step.
Dao Lord Po Xu, who had been nailed in the Dao Abyss, sensed the explosions in this void and sighed. He knew that Di Jiu had no chance.
Dao Lord Po Xu had never been to the Mountain Gaze. He had thought that as long as he reached the Mountain Gaze, he could climb to the peak of the mountain. How long had it been since Di Jiu had left? No matter how fast he was, he could not climb to the Mountain Gaze Peak. It would definitely take at least a few hundred years to get from the Dao Abyss to the Mountain Gaze.
Unfortunately, nobody could go to the Mountain Gaze to see what was going on. If someone did, all the people in the Dao Abyss would flock over.
Du Zihen, who was at the foot of the Mountain Gaze, looked up in shock at the Mountain Gaze Peak. He was almost sure that it was Di Jiu who had reached the Dao Integration. Others thought that someone else had reached the Creation Realm on the Mountain Gaze and reached the third step. However, Du Zihen was sure that the tumbling Dao runes and the explosion in the void were not the doing of someone who had reached the third step on the Mountain Gaze. It was Di Jiu who had reached Dao Integration.
What puzzled him was that, given his understanding of the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe, he actually could not even sense the direction of Di Jiu’s Dao.
…
Di Jiu raised his hand to grab the void. That solid space seemed to be in his palm, and he knew very well that his Dao Integration was different from other people’s. Even if others knew how he had undergone Dao Integration, they would not be able to do it like him. Establishing one’s own orders was not something anybody could accomplish.
Now that he had reached Dao Integration, his strength was soaring with every passing moment. His strength rose a little with every Foundation Order he established, and his Dao reached another level with every Law of the Universe he established.
Di Jiu looked up. The Mountain Gaze Peak was before him. He only needed one step to reach it.
Before reaching Dao Integration, Di Jiu would have taken this step forward without hesitation. However, he did not hesitate to turn around and go down the Mountain Gaze now.
The Dao that he cultivated yearned for him to go up. As long as he climbed to the Mountain Gaze Peak, he would once again be promoted and might even reach the mid-stage Dao Integration. Furthermore, there was something he urgently needed on the Mountain Gaze Peak.
Unfortunately, the laws he had set up had a strong rejection force. It seemed that once he went up, the orders he had set up would be devoured. The foundation of his Dao Integration was the orders he had set up. Thus, if they were devoured, his Dao would naturally crumble and he would need to undergo Dao Integration again according to the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe.
Di Jiu decided to believe in his own heart. The orders he had just set up were his new Dao direction, which was akin to his heart. In that case, why should he go to the Mountain Gaze Peak, ignite his own Dao, and integrate the Nomological Dao in the five-element universe?
He would reach the Mountain Gaze Peak, but now was not the time. When he had a certain power and thought that he could do so, he would come again.
Seemingly sensing that Di Jiu had turned and left, the Mountain Gaze Peak suddenly erupted into a rich Creation Aura. This Creation Aura, which had almost formed substantially, made Di Jiu feel that as long as he rushed into it, everything in his Dao would be successful and he could easily reach the perfected Dao Integration or even the third step.
Even if he controlled his cultivation level and did not let it rise, he would obtain countless things he needed from the substantial Creation Aura, including divine powers and a deeper understanding of the Laws of the Universe.
On several occasions, Di Jiu almost turned and rushed up. He knew very well that this had not been his original intention. The reason he wanted to do that was because of his Nomological Dao. The Nomological Dao he cultivated now was still the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe. Once he rushed up, he would completely perfect the Nomological Dao in the Five-Element Universe.
Perhaps it would be too much to say that he would become a slave to the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe. However, Di Jiu was sure that he would not be able to break free from the constraint of the Five-Element Universe anymore. The Creation Aura on the Mountain Gaze Peak could affect his Nomological Dao, so what should he do in the future? In a nutshell, during the early stages of his Nomological Dao, he had been very influenced by the Ninth Dao Law, which he’d had no choice over. Without the Ninth Dao Law, he would not have stood there today, nor would he have been qualified to do so.
Only after he thoroughly set up his own Heaven Earth Law and formed the embryonic form of his own world could he get the chance to remain unaffected and come here again.
Crack! What shocked Di Jiu was that as he was about to rush down the Mountain Gaze, his Dao rune aura was no longer under his control. Instead, a Nomological Dao Qi Circulation was formed around him. This Nomological Dao Qi Circulation seemed to have conformed with the Creation Aura of the Mountain Gaze Peak and appeared as though it wanted to pull him up to the peak firmly.
Di Jiu was terrified. Now that he had succeeded in Dao Integration, he felt that if he wanted to break free from the Five-Element Universe, he would have to change his Nomological Dao. In fact, right now, he thought that instead of the Nomological Dao in the Five-Element Universe that he cultivated, he would rather set up a Nomological Dao that belonged to him.
At that moment, Di Jiu realized that when facing the Creation Dao Runes of the Five-Element Universe, his own Nomological Dao was really terrifying.
That was because his Nomological Dao was derived from the Five-Element Universe’s Heaven Earth Law. In that case, while he was facing the highest level of Creation Dao Runes of the Five-Element Universe, his nomological Dao runes would naturally be attracted. This was nothing, but his nomological Dao runes had actually tried to forcibly change his willpower, which was simply too terrifying.
At this thought, Di Jiu turned and walked toward the top of the Mountain Gaze.
In an instant, he immediately discovered that the nomological Dao runes that he cultivated were all active and that feeling of restraint had disappeared. Instead, he felt joy and happiness.
Di Jiu’s heart sank. After taking a small step toward the Mountain Gaze Peak, he turned around instantaneously and activated his Spiritual Force escape technique to the maximum.
Soon, Di Jiu realized that as he moved away from the Mountain Gaze Peak, the resistance of the nomological Dao runes became weaker. A few days later, Di Jiu changed into the nomological escape technique and rushed down the mountain as quickly as possible.
At first, Di Jiu wondered whether he was going to find a Creation Dao Rune Lake in the Mountain Gaze to stabilize his cultivation level after reaching the Dao Integration. After sensing the impact that the Mountain Gaze Peak had on his Nomological Dao, he completely extinguished this thought. He decided that after he completely set up a Nomological Dao that truly belonged to him in the future, he would return.
In just a few months, Di Jiu once again fell on the foot of the Mountain Gaze, where he could no longer feel any influence.
“Ah Jiu, congratulations on successfully reaching the Dao Integration in a short time.” As soon as Di Jiu landed on the foot of the mountain, Du Zihen’s congratulating voice was heard.
Then, a gray-robed Du Zihen appeared before Di Jiu.
Di Jiu thanked him with cupped fists. “Thank you, Zihen, for warning me and helping me achieve the Dao Integration.”
Du Zihen looked at the Mountain Gaze Peak. “Ah Jiu, after I reach the third step again, let’s go out together.”
Di Jiu replied with a smile, “Zihen, your master Du Bu would probably not let me off. If you follow me, aren’t you worried that you’ll be put in a difficult position?”
Du Zihen laughed. “Ah Jiu, you look down on me too much. I have my own conduct standard everywhere at any time. I won’t talk about this. I’m going up the mountain. We’ll part ways today but we’ll meet again soon.”
Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Du Zihen. “Zihen, you’re an ancient expert, so you must have seen a lot of good stuff. I started out late, so I don’t have any good stuff. Inside this bottle is something valuable that I’ll give to you.”
Without declining or asking what it was, Du Zihen took the jade bottle and said, “I won’t be polite then.”
After Di Jiu cupped his fists, he rushed away from the foot of the Mountain Gaze with a flash of his figure.
