Chapter 879 - : Stop If You’re Tired

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom! A sudden thunder streak fell and Di Jiu could only move aside. That thunder streak struck his left shoulder.

Crack! His left shoulder bone broke instantly and a powerful force spread from it. Di Jiu’s sternum broke along with it. Although this force was powerful, it only hit his sternum. His strong body canceled out the force, which could not cause him greater harm.

While Di Jiu restored his bones and wounds, he realized that a Dao divine power without laws still rushed forward along the black path at a steady speed.

A cultivator behind him looked dumbfoundedly at Di Jiu, who disappeared in the distance. After a while, he mumbled, “This is definitely a physical body that surpasses a Sacred Body. Otherwise, it could not have possibly survived against such a Dao divine power… Who is this… Who exactly is this…”

As a cultivator who had been living at the bottom of the Dao Abyss all year round, he knew very well that even a Sacred Body would have been torn apart by this terrifying Dao divine power. Eventually, only top-notch treasures could be used to restore the physical body and help it recuperate. However, no matter how wealthy a cultivator was, they could not have enough treasures to recuperate. Thus, even with a Sacred Body, they could only be slightly faster on this path than others. They absolutely would not dare move forward in a hurry like Di Jiu. Despite being injured, he not only did not slow down, but he instead became stronger.

In the beginning, Di Jiu had been in a hurry because he had been worried about others rushing to the Mountain Gaze Peak first. After discovering that a person like Yi Ji was here, he had become even more worried.

Later, Di Jiu completely abandoned this thought. He was now speeding up and rushing forward, wanting to be attacked by this sudden Dao divine power.

Whenever he was attacked by the Dao divine power, Di Jiu seemed to catch something. Unfortunately, he lacked something every time.

In order to grasp what orders made such a Dao divine power attack, Di Jiu kept running. He was constantly attacked by this Dao divine power for the sake of catching the order he could not catch.

Initially, Di Jiu still encountered some cultivators along the way. However, due to his constant mad speed, he met fewer and fewer cultivators as he moved.

By now, Di Jiu was already scarred by attacks from all kinds of Dao divine power. Without a body that surpassed a Sacred Body, he would have been torn into pieces and his Principal Spirit would have been eliminated.

Bam! Another beam of light blasted over and directly passed through Di Jiu’s chest, leaving a bloody hole in his chest.

Di Jiu knelt on the ground while a glimmer of light flashed in his mind. He was about to understand what was in it when he was scattered again by this beam of light.

He had broken bones all over and five broken viscera, while his skin was like a tattered rag.

If this went on, he was afraid that he would not gain any insight into the Dao runes of the Dao divine power. Instead, his physical body and Spiritual Sea would disintegrate and his Principal Spirit would die.

Di Jiu sighed and swallowed a drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Once his insight was disrupted, it was difficult to continue. Hurrying up would lead to failure. Besides, since so many people were coming to this path, Di Jiu believed that they should be like him. They should have yet to gain insight into the order of the Dao divine power. If someone had gained any insight, he supposed that this person would have set foot on the Mountain Gaze Peak.

While he was soothing his mentality, Di Jiu’s injury recovered instantly with a drop of Quintessential Essence of the Universe.

When Di Jiu changed into his clothes and decided to walk slowly, he suddenly froze. He had caught the Dao runes of the Dao divine power that had bombarded him many times. His guess had been right. That was not the divine power of an order, but a kind of…

Di Jiu wanted to describe this order, but after thinking for a while, he still could not.

He raised his head, simulating a beam of light blasting out.

Boom! The beam of light he had simulated blasted the path not far ahead, creating a white mark on it.

“So this is what it turned out to be like.” Di Jiu looked at his palm. When he felt a numbing sensation in his scalp, he understood the true Dao, which was the divine power of the beam of light he had blasted out.

His Dao had always been the Nomological Dao. The endless laws in the universe were constructed by endless orders.

He had always comprehended the endless Foundation Orders of this vast universe. Through this endless Foundation Order and gaining insight into the mystery of the universe, he perfected his Dao.

If this went on, he could indeed become an almighty. However, everything in this universe was inseparable from it. Since he was in this universe, in the future, someone would be able to surpass him by using such a technique.

Even though nobody had surpassed him yet, he still could not surpass this universe or rush out of it.

However, he had never thought that any cultivator was akin to a universe, regardless of whether they cultivated the Dao or opened up their own world.

Since a cultivator was a universe, if he wanted to become stronger or grander, he could not always cultivate all sorts of laws in the universe he was in or continue gaining insight into all sorts of orders in the vast universe. What he understood and could cultivate applied to others because they were also in this universe.

He had to have his own orders and let his orders construct his own laws before he let his laws construct his own universe.

Di Jiu took a deep breath. He knew that he had understood at that moment. Sure enough, stopping to think on the road while seeking was sometimes more effective than seeking when one was tired.

Since he had not been enlightened that day, even if he reached the third step in the future, Di Jiu believed that when he faced the Master of the Universe, he would only be able to crawl on the ground. He was sure that the Master of the Universe had not been killed by Du Mo. However, nobody knew where he was now.

Di Jiu could be sure that the Dao runes of the Master of the Universe were definitely not limited to the laws of the universe. Otherwise, he would not be able to surpass this universe, which meant that he would not live forever because his lifespan would always be weaker than the universe.

The Dao divine power that had blasted him was also not the Dao divine power that originated from the universe or any orders. Instead, it was a kind of Dao divine power that transcended the universe he was in.

Like the beam of light just now, although the divine power was still very weak, not many cultivators could block it.

If he really built his own orders and then used these orders to build the laws of his own world, he could build his own Dao divine power, which would be the same as those on the Mountain Gaze path. In combination with the improvement of his cultivation level, that power would even be stronger than the Dao divine power there.

“Ha ha ha…” Di Jiu felt carefree. If he wanted, he could reach Dao Integration at any time. He would be integrating a Dao that was truly his own.

Since he was there, he had to reach Dao Integration at the Mountain Gaze. Thus, he took another step forward.

After just one step, Di Jiu froze and stopped. In front of him was a vast, boundless, huge mountain whose peak he could not see at all. However, he was sure that it was the Mountain Gaze.

“I got it,” Di Jiu muttered to himself. It turned out that this was the Mountain Gaze.

Without stopping to recuperate and abruptly gaining insight that the Dao divine power needed to be built with his Nomological World, regardless of his speed, he would not arrive earlier than the others at the Mountain Gaze.

The reason the Mountain Gaze had such a name was that one could only have a look but never get closer. Only when one understood the Dao runes of the Dao on the way to the Mountain Gaze could one come to the foot of the Mountain Gaze with one step. That was not visually but mentally far.

Now that he had just realized the Dao divine power, he reached the foot of the Mountain Gaze with one step. Since he was at the foot of the mountain, he had to climb to the peak.

“Huh!” A startled exclamation was heard. Di Jiu then realized that someone had come to the Mountain Gaze a step earlier than him. This person had not climbed the mountain. Instead, he was sitting at the foot of the mountain to gain insight. As soon as Di Jiu came, he awakened the other party.
