ninth in the world

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned tens of thousands of soldiers. Very soon, he was sure that there were no top-notch experts there and felt relieved. He was disgusted with this tribe, so he would wipe it out.

Perhaps, Cao Xi believed he shouldn’t have to wipe out this tribe. However, Di Jiu would rather wipe out this tribe ten times.

Boom!

A loud noise that sounded as if the universe had shattered was heard. At that moment, everyone was stunned. Di Jiu lifted his head to see the torrent crashing down as though the bottom of the ocean was gone and felt at peace.

This was his second time seeing the Heavenly Witch River’s bank bursting. Compared to the last time, it was much more intense now.

When the tens of thousands of soldiers rushing toward Di Jiu understood that the Heavenly Witch River’s bank was bursting, they frantically turned around to escape this violent wave.

However, this big wave was clearly much faster compared to their escaping speed. Although these people had found higher ground the first time the Heavenly Witch River’s bank had burst, it was no use this time.

Di Jiu didn’t move. Instead, he sat down and closed his eyes.

The refinement of the Heavenly Witch River would start now.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Witch River’s torrent swept over. At that moment, the captives and the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe were swept into it before vanishing without a trace.

…

When the Heavenly Witch River’s waters rushed toward Di Jiu, he acted like a boulder. No matter how violent the river water was, he didn’t move at all.

As soon as the Heavenly Witch River’s water rushed toward him, his heart leaped and he felt an indescribable impulse all over him.

He sensed the Heavenly Dao Law’s aura, which was completely different from the Five-Element Universe. This was a Dao Law that surpassed the universe. It was a Dao Law of the Universe that was impossible to detect…

Even though he had yet to refine the Heavenly Witch River, Di Jiu was sure that Cao Xi’s guess was right. The Heavenly Witch River was the Escapee of the Five-Element Universe.

As he performed his Nomological Dao Qi Circulation, Di Jiu started to refine the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River.

When Di Jiu refined the first strand of Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River, he sensed a crack in his Dao force.

He was shocked. As he was thinking about what he should do, his Nomological Dao rapidly repaired this crack.

Di Jiu stopped refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River. If he hadn’t gained insight into the Dao direction on the Mountain Gaze and set up his own Nomological Dao of the Universe, refining the Heavenly Witch River would have kept creating cracks in his Dao force. Eventually, it would have disintegrated completely.

At that moment, Di Jiu suddenly thought of something. If Du Bu were to really come there, would he make his Dao of the Five-Element Universe disintegrate completely when he refined the Heavenly Witch River?

The river water of the Heavenly Witch River suddenly flowed backward. The Heavenly Witch River’s water, which was rushing toward the soldiers of the Great Wing Tribe, rushed backward as well.

Di Jiu finally understood why all the river water had disappeared without a trace when the Heavenly Witch River’s bank had clearly burst. It turned out that it had flowed back.

Even though he could see the Heavenly Witch River, Di Jiu knew very well that, given his strength now, he still couldn’t enter the Heavenly Witch River. If he wanted to refine the Heavenly Witch River, he would have to enter it. Without hesitation, he followed the Heavenly Witch River’s water, which was flowing backward.

To the naked eye, it seemed to be a very short distance. However, Di Jiu felt as if the river water of the Heavenly Witch River had been flowing backward for several years.

As he went up, Di Jiu’s body was torn even more intensely.

Di Jiu was very glad that his physical body had surpassed a Sacred Body. Otherwise, he couldn’t have persisted for long while his body was torn in such a terrifying way.

Bam! Despite clearly being below the Heavenly Witch River, when Di Jiu was stopped by the river water flowing backward, it seemed as though his body had slammed into a huge stone.

Di Jiu sat at the bottom of the river, his mind becoming increasingly clearer.

Since this was the Escapee, it was naturally completely different from the other nine Primordial Dao Laws. However, because it was different, he would not be able to integrate it. Therefore, when he’d refined the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River, there had been cracks while he had gained insight into the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe through the Ninth Dao Law.

However, there was no problem with the Nomological Dao he had set up by himself. He had also repaired the crack in the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe.

When the Nomological Dao he had set up by himself was formed completely someday and he abandoned the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe entirely, there wouldn’t be a crack in his Dao even if he refined the entire Heavenly Witch River.

How long would it even take him to set up the Nomological Dao that belonged to him? 10,000 years? 100,000 years? A million years?

Di Jiu recalled that he hadn’t had much time during his Dao Modeling. Since the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe couldn’t be integrated with the Escapee, he would cut off his Dao.

However, cutting his Dao this time was completely different from his Dao Modeling. He needed to cut off the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe completely.

Di Jiu was not someone who liked to procrastinate. Since he had made a decision, he started cutting off the Nomological Dao without hesitation. He cut off every Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe that he had gained insight into after a lot of difficulty. As a result, he felt his cultivation level decrease little by little.

Fortunately, he was not at his peak yet. His cultivation level had fallen to the brink of nothing. After he cut off his Dao, it wasn’t that obvious either.

When Di Jiu cut off all the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe, he clearly felt that it was much easier to refine the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River. Regardless of how much he refined it, there were no cracks in his Dao. Although his Nomological Dao was derived from the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe, it was compatible with the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River.

Several days later, Di Jiu was still constantly refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River under the river.

After half a month, he stopped refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River. Based on his progress, he could indeed completely refine the Heavenly Witch River. However, how long would that take? Du Bu wouldn’t wait until that day to come to the Heavenly Witch Realm.

It had been three days since Di Jiu had started thinking at the bottom of the Heavenly Witch River. On the fourth day, he made a decision that many cultivators wouldn’t have expected. He continued to cut off his Dao. This time, he didn’t cut off the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe. The Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe had been more or less cut off. Thus, this time, he cut off the Nomological Dao that he had set up on himself.

He had made this decision because Cao Xi had told him that the Nomological Dao he had set up could scan any cultivator in the Five-Element Universe but could not fight against Du Bu. The reason was very simple. The Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe that he had set up also came from the Five-Element Universe. To put it simply, it was also inseparable from the Five-Element Universe.

Di Jiu believed Cao Xi’s words. Even though her strength might be inferior to Du Bu’s, her knowledge and experience were definitely not lesser than Du Bu’s.

After Di Jiu cut off the first law he had set up, he discovered that his guess was right. Cao Xi was also right. When he cut off his law, refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River became much faster.

However, cutting off the Heaven Earth Law he had set up was different from cutting off the Heaven Earth Law he had gained insight into from the outside. That was just like cutting off his own flesh. Every time he cut off a Heaven Earth Law, he would spit out a mouthful of blood and become much weaker. Likewise, his cultivation level also became weaker.

Because Di Jiu constantly cut off the Heaven Earth Law he had set up, refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River became increasingly faster.

Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed. Di Jiu once again stopped refining the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River.

He then thought of the Escapee. The Escapee might be very impressive and formidable, but weren’t the nine Primordial Dao Laws of the Five-Element Universe equally formidable and impressive? Plus, he had used the Five-Element Universe to set up his own Nomological Dao. Wasn’t he formidable as well?

Since they were all formidable, why did he have to cut off the Nomological Dao he had gained insight into in the Five-Element Universe or the Nomological Dao he had set up to make way for the Escapee?

Di Jiu didn’t understand why he had done that, but he felt that it was unfair to both the Ninth Dao Law and the Nomological Dao he had set up with difficulty. He clenched his teeth and started to cut off the Dao for the third time.

This time, he cut off the Dao of the Heavenly Witch River’s Dao runes that he had just gained insight into. He had yet to refine such Dao runes or even turn them into his own Nomological Dao.

When Di Jiu cut off the first Dao rune of the Heavenly Witch River he had just refined, he shook all over. He lifted his head to look at the boundless water of the Heavenly Witch River, feeling peaceful.

At that moment, he understood the Dao. He finally understood the Dao that Cao Xi had mentioned.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned tens of thousands of soldiers. Very soon, he was sure that there were no top-notch experts there and felt relieved. He was disgusted with this tribe, so he would wipe it out.
