In the boundless void, a flying boat flew past at a great speed but very quickly retreated again.

A long-haired suave young man stood on the deck of the flying boat. He looked at the flying boat up ahead in pleasant surprise, pointed at the large cocoon and said, “Martial Uncle Hong, this is a unique treasure…”

Then, a pale and beardless old man landed on the hold of the flying boat. Excitement could be seen on his face and Dao runes were circulating on the large cocoon, so even Spiritual Force could not permeate it.

“I’ll take a look.” The suave young man threw himself towards it without waiting for the flying boat to approach the large cocoon and made a grab for it.

Bam! A huge force swept over and sent the young man flying.

At that moment, the old man on the flying boat landed beside the young man and said in excitement, “Young Master, you did not see wrong. This is definitely a unique treasure of Heaven and Earth and a natural Defense Array. As long as we set up a major array, we can slowly deal with it and take it away.”

“Yes.” The young man snapped out of his excitement and took out the array flag to start setting up the confinement array.

…

Di Jiu was dizzy but he tried his best to open his eyes. There was a voice in his Spiritual Sea. His Dao was not completely born yet, and he still needed to evolve his Dao law.

His spirit and vitality were drawn out bit by bit and then repeatedly helped his Dao evolve while the large cocoon that enveloped his whole body became firmer…

That’s right, his Dao. His Dao was everything. He immediately stopped struggling to open his eyes. He should continue absorbing that boundless Heaven Earth Law and integrate it into his Dao, thus forming his own Dao law cultivation technique.

That was not right. His Dao was only a part of him. He had not had a Dao throughout his entire life. He still had Xiuqi. That’s right, Xiuqi. Was she doing well?

Regardless of whether he wanted to evolve his Dao, he had to go take a look at Xiuqi as soon as possible. Why had he left her in the first place?

Di Jiu tried his best to think and eventually recalled.

Back then, he’d wanted to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, so he’d set out to search for the void Tribulation Transcendence and left Xiuqi. How many years had it been? How was she doing on Earth?

Di Jiu was fretful so he could not continue deducing things. Before he could finish, 10,000 years would have passed.

Stop. He had to stop.

However, his Dao was still deducing and forming circles of Dao patterns while the Dao cocoon was still being perfected.

Di Jiu finally felt that something was wrong deep in his willpower. Since the Dao was his, he could naturally stop if he wanted. Today, he was unable to control the evolution of his Dao, which was absolutely abnormal.

That vast and boundless Dao aura once again filled Di Jiu’s intent. As long as he perfected his Dao and formed his own nomological Dao, he would tower over the peak of the entire universe. Nobody in the universe would do anything to him…

If Di Jiu had not had a tempered body before, suffered through countless torments, or condensed strong willpower, he might not have been struggling at this moment.

However, he sensed something inappropriate. His remaining willpower made him determined not to allow this Dao to continue deducing.

Evolving his Dao was his issue, but he could not stop even if he wanted. Why did he need such a Dao?

Stop, stop it.

Di Jiu controlled his Starry Sky meridian, his Spiritual Sea, and even his willpower while discontinuing the deduction.

Deep in his Spiritual Sea, a Golden Dao Law was still distributing golden nomological Dao patterns that shrouded Di Jiu’s entire body, allowing the Dao cocoon to continue evolving and condensing.

Di Jiu discovered in grief that no matter how strong his willpower was, he was unable to stop that Golden Dao Law from evolving the nomological Dao.

Don’t tell me it wants me to become a puppet?

The Ninth Dao Law had helped him too much. Di Jiu now knew that this Dao law was not something good indeed. It might think about using Di Jiu the instant that he saved it, letting him substitute the Dao law’s physical body.

There were pros and cons to everything. At the moment, Di Jiu only wanted to frantically rub away this Golden Dao Law or chase this Dao law away. Even if he could not take a step forward from then on, he definitely could not allow this Dao law to take control of his willpower.

Boom! The Golden Dao Law seemed to have sensed Di Jiu’s strong willpower. The Dao law distributed nomological Dao patterns into Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea and suppressed his efforts.

He could not let that happen, but his consciousness was still in chaos. He certainly could not let this continue, or he would only live under the nomological Dao after the Ninth Dao Law’s nomological Dao was completely formed.

He needed external help.

The only thing that could help him was something in his Spiritual Sea. What about the Book of the World?

It was a pity that he had never refined the Book of the World. The reason it had appeared in his Spiritual Sea was because it had been attracted by the Ninth Dao Law.

Even if he refined the Book of the World, he would not necessarily be able to use it to stop the Ninth Dao Law. The Ninth Dao Law only wanted to control his Dao, not to kill him.

A distinct message landed deep in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea and was transmitted by the Ninth Dao Law.

As long as Di Jiu made use of this chance to perfect his own Nomological Dao, he would not be any weaker than the Master of the Universe in the future. Moreover, there was no harm in this. There were only countless benefits for him.

Di Jiu understood. The Golden Dao Law was not resigned to having a supporting role. It wanted to be in charge and be a safflower. Once he listened to the Golden Dao Law, no matter how strong he was, he would only be a Dao law’s puppet.

Di Jiu could die or be destroyed but he would not be a puppet!

He frantically activated the Sacred Yin Pearl, which would not listen to the Ninth Dao Law. The Pure Yin Chaos Qi in it instantly filled Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea completely. This boundless Chaos aura, which was integrated into Di Jiu’s willpower, blocked the distribution and condensation of the Dao patterns in an instant.

Once the Dao engraving stopped forming, the Dao cocoon also stopped condensing. Di Jiu’s senses grew clearer slowly as well.

The Ninth Dao Law transmitted an urgent message. If Di Jiu continued like this, he would most likely cause the Sacred Yin Pearl to collapse.

Di Jiu sneered silently. Even if the Sacred Yin Pearl collapsed, he would not allow the Ninth Dao Law to do as it wished. He called the shots in his territory. Since when was it a Dao law’s turn to make decisions for him?

The Starry Sky Art condensed the Sacred Yin Pearl’s Pure Yin Chaotic Aura and started to engulf the Dao pattern aura swept out by the Ninth Dao Law.

The Ninth Dao Law in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea seemed to know that he had activated the Sacred Yin Pearl and did not have any other way to allow him to form a Nomological Dao based on his willpower.

It could only slowly vanish that golden nomological Dao engraving. At the same time, Di Jiu received a message. By forcefully stopping the nomological Dao cocoon’s formation, it had caused too much damage to his Dao.

Di Jiu sneered as he became more clear-headed. He cultivated a nomological Dao that belonged to him, not the Ninth Dao Law.

The Ninth Dao Law thought that if it helped Di Jiu a lot, it might control everything about him. It was simply dreaming. This was ridiculous. Fortunately, he had a strong willpower and the Sacred Yin Pearl. The reason he had gone through the terrifying Immortal Emperor Thunder Tribulation previously was because he was unable to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, which had most likely been the Ninth Dao Law’s doing. It had made use of his weakness and his belief that it was normal to be enlightened about the Dao during Tribulation Transcendence to control his nomological Dao unconsciously.

If he had not thought about Xiuqi alone on Earth waiting for him, he might have unconsciously fallen for it. Actually, that was not right. There was still something wrong with this matter.

…

“It’s the Chaotic Aura. It’s really the Chaotic Aura.” At that moment, the young man who had attacked the huge cocoon and the beardless old man both looked at the large cocoon excitedly. They could sense clearly that in this huge cocoon was the ultimate pure Chaotic Aura. They had only sensed a hint of it outside, but it had once again loosened up their slow-moving cultivation level.

The two of them accelerated their attacking power and frantically drew out Dharma treasures to attack this huge cocoon.
