Ninth In the World

Chapter 622: A Sacred Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Dai stood at the entrance of the fourth level. He hesitated for one hour before turning to leave. He was sure that Di Jiu would not enter the fourth level. Even if he did so, he would be injured and throw his life away.

Since he was sure that Di Jiu was in the Vast Ruins, Jiang Dai would not leave without doing anything. He personally guarded the entrance of the second and third levels of the Vast Ruins. He did not believe that Di Jiu would always stay on the third level.

...

Di Jiu spent one month recuperating completely. The fourth level of the Vast Ruins was simply too dangerous. However, such a danger was also an opportunity for him.

When he had been in the Immortal World, he had already had a perfected Immortal Divine Body and had no longer been able to advance. Perhaps he could make use of the fourth level of the Vast Ruins to break through the shackles.

When he sensed that it was relatively safer outside the Ninth World, Di Jiu came out. At the same time, he frantically performed the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art and used the Chaos Qi to moisten his physical body. He removed all his clothes this time, as he was more likely to be killed wearing them in a place where he was tempering his body.

Bam! The instant that Di Jiu landed outside the Ninth World, a long shattered nomological whirlpool struck him.

Di Jiu had just started restoring his physical body when it started to collapse once again. Every inch of his bones shattered and his flesh was swept all over the place. Perhaps within just a few seconds, Di Jiu’s physical body would completely collapse.

Unlike the first time, Di Jiu had been prepared this time. His Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art constantly tore apart these terrifying lacerations into Blood Qi that restored his physical body. The Chaos Qi also rapidly moistened Di Jiu’s physical body.

Pfft! Pfft! Blood mists splattered. Di Jiu’s physical body was constantly being torn apart. Thanks to the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art and the Chaos Qi, he also constantly recuperated.

Even though the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art was heaven-defying and the Chaos Qi moistened his physical body quickly, his body tore faster and faster. Di Jiu suspected that before he could successfully finish body-tempering, his physical body would be swept away by the nomological whirlpool. He had wanted to enter the Ninth World several times to recuperate for some time. However, he still endured this. If it was so easy to get a Sacred Body, then they would not be so scarce.

At least, Di Jiu had yet to hear of a body-tempering cultivator with a Sacred Body. If he managed to advance to a Sacred Body, even if he offended all the geniuses in Jiang Dai’s area, he would still be able to enter the fifth level of the Vast Ruins to seek refuge.

Therefore, as long as it was not time for him to perish, he would have to persevere.

Since his flesh had been scraped away by the nomological whirlpool, the only thing Di Jiu could do was perform the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art even more frantically. As he watched the bloody mists splatter on him, he silently sighed. If hacking someone to pieces was also cruel, this body-tempering method of his would be much crueler.

When Di Jiu thought he could no longer persevere, his bones produced cracking sounds. Then, a gentle force swept his whole body.

A moment later, thanks to the Chaos Qi and Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art, Di Jiu could sense his physical body, which had been scraped, land in a gentle Divine Spirit Quintessence Immortal Lake.

A refreshing feeling that allowed his whole body to feel free from worry spread out. His physical body, which had been torn beyond recognition, also rapidly started to recover. Even though he was in the dilapidated Vast Ruins, Di Jiu’s surroundings had formed a huge Divine Spirit Qi whirlpool. In only one hour, his physical body was once again restored to normal.

The nomological whirlpool that had swept over was still striking his body. However, at the moment, it was like a breeze that could no longer harm him.

Di Jiu leaped up. As he was standing with his naked body in the boundless ruins, he could not be any more excited. He could clearly sense how strong his physical body was. It had already surpassed a peak and reached another peak.

This was the Sacred Body? Di Jiu let out a long roar and finally felt comfortable. Ever since he had been targeted by Jiang Dai, this was the first time he had felt so comfortable.

Only after he truly attained a Sacred Body did Di Jiu realize how hard it was to advance it. He was now very thankful for the Colossal Kun Sacred Dao Sect. Without their Body-Tempering Lake, he probably could not have advanced to a Sacred Body on the fourth level of the Vast Ruins even though he had obtained the Chaos Qi.

Although he had a perfected Immortal Divine Body, it was still not enough. If he did not persevere and upgrade to a Sacred Body, his physical body would collapse completely.

Since he had tempered his body once by the Colossal Kun Sacred Dao Sect’s Body-Tempering Lake, he made use of the Chaos Qi and the nomological whirlpool in the Vast Ruins to finally attain the Sacred Body Realm this time.

From now on, as long as he carefully avoided some special nomological displacements, he could walk as he pleased on the fourth level of the Vast Ruins.

Di Jiu changed into another set of clothes, extended his Spiritual Force slowly, and was very soon pleasantly surprised. In the past, he had been unable to find the nomological fragments with all his might, but his Spiritual Force could scan two of them easily now. One of them was a fire-element nomological fragment, while the other was a water-element nomological fragment.

Apart from the nomological fragments, Di Jiu also saw Five-Element materials of higher quality: Wood-Element Root, Raze Evolution True Gold, Fragmented Divine Sand...

These were Five-Element Law materials that surpassed level-seven divine materials.

Di Jiu spent a year on the fourth level, wandering around before he reached the entrance of the fifth level. In a year, he had obtained a huge pile of Five-Element Law materials and he now had dozens of nomological fragments on him. These things would be treasures of immeasurable value if he took them to an auction.

The fifth level of the Vast Ruins should not be a place he could enter now, but he still decided to enter it.

Jiang Dai might be able to find him on the fourth level. However, Di Jiu was sure that Jiang Dai would not dare enter the fifth level. He believed that Jiang Dai had a higher cultivation level than him. If one were to say that Jiang Dai’s physical body was stronger than his, though, Di Jiu would not believe it. Was a Sacred Body attained so easily? He had the Chaos Qi and he had tempered his body in the Colossal Kun Sacred Dao Sect, where his physical body had almost collapsed before he had even upgraded it to a Sacred Body.

Once Di Jiu stepped into the fifth level of the Vast Ruins, a terrifying force struck his chest. It was very quick, yet it ripped apart his sternum.

What amazed Di Jiu was that this force was not related to the nomological whirlpool or any nomological fragments. He did not sense any terrifying nomological force suppression on the fifth level either.

However, Di Jiu knew that he still did not have the right to observe this place for a long time. Before the second attack could approach, he had escaped underground.

A terrifying force still devastated his physical body. He had initially planned to escape hundreds of thousands of feet underground before he entered the Ninth World. When there was such a terrifying suppression around, though, he had to enter the Ninth World when he reached approximately tens of thousands of feet.

Even so, he was still riddled with injuries all over his body.

Di Jiu, who had already reached his goal, set up nomological array flags. These flags fixed the Ninth World tens of thousands of feet underground.

Di Jiu was worried that when he came out of seclusion, the Ninth World might have entered deeply into the fifth level. He would then be doomed.

He did not know what was so terrifying on the fifth level of the Vast Ruins.

After he had recuperated his injuries in the Ninth World, Di Jiu took out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron to become a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint.

Once he advanced to a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint, he could straightaway attain the Dao Transformation Realm. Only with the Dao Transformation Realm could he have the qualifications to go out.

Di Jiu did not believe that nobody had discovered the Chaos Qi he had opened previously. If someone had discovered it, that fellow would very likely block the outer door of the Vast Ruins, waiting for him to come out.

Even though Di Jiu had guessed that someone would stop him, he did not guess that Jiang Dai was the person stopping him or that he was at the entrance of the second level and third level.

If he went out, he would probably be Jiang Dai’s prey now.

No matter how strong his nomological escape technique was, given his current realm, he would not realistically escape from Jiang Dai.

He took out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron to try the Segmented Cloud Pill first. The Segmented Cloud Pill was a Dao Modeling pill. The main divine spirit herbs were the Segmented Cloud Immortal Fruits, which were Dao Modeling fruits. Before Di Jiu had entered the Vast Ruins, he’d had no right to obtain this kind of Dao fruit.

Di Jiu sent the Segmented Cloud Immortal Fruits into the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron before he threw the divine spirit herbs.

Even though this was the first time he refined Dao Modeling pills, Di Jiu was still a natural. It was simply because he had refined too many kinds of divine pills.

In his opinion, he only needed one hour before he could extract the medicinal liquid, remove the elixir residue, and condense the Dao pills.

Before one hour was up, a cracking sound burst out of the cauldron and it emitted a green smoke. It was very clear that this cauldron of Dao pills had failed. He had failed without even condensing the pills.
