Chapter 617: Di Jiu’s Dao Discussion
The Five-Element Beasts on the second level were clearly more intelligent than the ones on the first level. After Di Jiu killed only hundreds of Five-Element Beasts, the remaining ones dispersed.
He was fine now, right? Yu Qianxi was still in a daze. Ever since the group of Five-Element Beasts had pounced over, she had never thought of attacking them. With so many Five-Element Beasts around, she would die even if she attacked them.

Let’s go.
Di Jiu put away his Heavenly Aqua Saber, feeling very satisfied.
He was satisfied with his Heavenly Aqua Saber. Even if someone else wanted to exchange a supreme-grade divine weapon for his Heavenly Aqua Saber, he would be unwilling to do so.

Senior Brother Di, even the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World are a far cry from you,
Yu Qianxi told him in admiration after taking a deep breath.
It was no wonder that Mo Yejiu had not been interested in the Dao World’s Hidden Sacred Dao Discussion Exchange Meeting. It turned out that he was a true genius that really did not need to attend that meeting. Even though she was one of the Ten Major Geniuses, she felt that she still could not compare to Di Jiu. She would be a joke before Di Jiu at the Hidden Sacred Exchange Meeting.
Di Jiu laughed but did not answer. His goal all along had never been to become one of the Ten Major Geniuses of the Dao World but the strongest individual of the Ten Major Geniuses in the history of the Dao World. Only Jiang Dai and Xu Baishang were his match.

Senior Brother Di, on the second level of the Vast Ruins, the laws are chaotic and filled with shattered nomological whirlpools. If you use the Divine Essence, the surrounding nomological fragments will be stirred and you will be unable to survive. The Five-Element Beasts are designated products of the fragmented laws here, so they are used to living in this place. How could Senior Brother Di instigate a battle between the Divine Essence and the Five-Element Beasts in a place like this?
Yu Qianxi knew that she should not have said this. However, she simply wanted to know so badly.
If she could do so, her strength would improve on many levels.
Since Yu Qianxi had not asked how he had set up the Defense Arrays secretly, Di Jiu was relieved. He was still working with Yu Qianxi now. If she inquired and he did not answer her truthfully, it would not do.
After Di Jiu muttered for a moment, he answered,
The Dao is natural. In my opinion, all living things in the universe adhere to laws without any exception. Hundreds of millions of different Foundation Orders set up these laws. Although the laws in the Vast Ruins are shattered and chaotic, this is still a natural space. As long as you understand the shattered laws in this natural space and the setup of the Foundation Order of these shattered laws, everything will become simple.
Of course, that is easier said than done. First, you have to understand these shattered Foundation Orders one by one. Second, you need to have enough strength. Even though I can understand most of the Foundation Orders, my strength is still not enough. Thus, I might only reach the third level of the Vast Ruins, and not the fourth or fifth level…


Senior Brother Di, even if cultivators cultivated to the extreme, they have a limited lifespan. Many of these shattered Foundation Orders are useless to us. Rather than spending time on understanding these useless Foundation Orders, why don’t we understand the orders that our divine power needs or raise our cultivation level?
Yu Qianxi did not understand.
Di Jiu laughed.
Useless? Many cultivators who cultivate the divine power know which Foundation Order this divine power is deduced from. They then think of every possible way to understand this kind of Foundation Order but are unaware that any Foundation Orders in the universe are interconnected. After cultivating the divine power, they understand the orders of this divine power. This is actually a mistake. My Dao is meant to first understand the Foundation Orders in the universe before combining with divine power.
For example, with the divine power of the spatial order. You understand the spatial Foundation Orders and have control over the divine power of the spatial order. However, not only do other people understand the spatial Foundation Orders, but they also understand the Five-Element Foundation Orders. No matter how strong your cultivation level is, your divine power might not necessarily be stronger than theirs. This is the divine power order combination that I have understood…

Yu Qianxi was stunned. Just like Di Jiu had said, when she cultivated a certain divine power, she knew the Foundation Orders related to this divine power. She would then understand what Foundation Orders this divine power required.

However, in the vast universe, there are so many orders that they are countless. How can we understand so many of them? Wouldn’t we have no time for cultivation then?
Yu Qianxi asked.
Di Jiu faintly replied,
That is why Dao cultivation is a slow process. Even if you spend a lifetime, you cannot understand the Foundation Orders of the entire universe. You just have to know that we are still in the process of understanding them…

It was easy for Di Jiu to criticize that. Since he cultivated the Nomological Dao, he could understand the Foundation Orders in his surroundings at any time.
However, Yu Qianxi was different. She did not cultivate the Nomological Dao. Just as she had said, if she put all her time into understanding the Foundation Orders, could she still cultivate?
Di Jiu did not care if Yu Qianxi had the time to learn from him. Anyway, he had only told her about his cultivation comprehension. It did not concern him whether she could do it or not.
Yu Qianxi had been intoxicated by listening to Di Jiu’s Dao discussion. She felt that he had opened up a new Dao door for her, allowing her to have a glimpse of the direction of the new Dao.
For the sake of thanking Yu Qianxi for bringing him into the Vast Ruins and even preparing to bring him into the Dao fruit garden, Di Jiu was not stingy. When it came to the things he had understood, he would not conceal anything apart from the Nomological Dao.
The Vast Ruins was a very dangerous place, and the two of them had unknowingly arrived at the third level.
Even though Di Jiu had said a lot, Yu Qianxi could do none of these things. However, Di Jiu cultivated the Nomological Dao and was considered a founder of his Dao. In just a few months, Yu Qianxi would benefit from this indeed.

So quickly?
When Yu Qianxi saw the gray stairway leading to the third level, she subconsciously sighed.
Di Jiu also stopped talking about the Dao. He was currently at the second stage, so he had not faced any danger whatsoever with Yu Qianxi on the second level of the Vast Ruins. However, he dared not stroll around the third level as he pleased.
This was the first time he had arrived at the third level.

Senior Brother Di, thank you for explaining the Dao. The third level of the Vast Ruins is much more dangerous than the second level. I heard that the laws here even collapse…
Even though Yu Qianxi wanted to continue listening to Di Jiu’s Dao discussion, she knew very well how dangerous the third level of the Vast Ruins was.
Even if Yu Qianxi had not mentioned it, Di Jiu would not have continued explaining to her the Dao that he had understood. He felt that after obtaining the Dao fruit that Yu Qianxi had provided, he had contributed enough.
Di Jiu cautiously stepped onto the stairway leading to the third level followed by Yu Qianxi, who was also being cautious. Since the third level of the Vast Ruins was really dangerous, Di Jiu might not necessarily be able to protect her. If there was danger, she would have to rely on herself.
Pfft! Blood suddenly exploded. As soon as Di Jiu stepped into the third level, a violent nomological displacement swept over. Even though he had been guarding against them every moment, he was also ripped apart by this nomological displacement.
Di Jiu took Yu Qianxi and escaped immediately so that she would not be ripped into two by the nomological displacement.

Thank you, Senior Brother Di. You saved me once again.
When Di Jiu put her down, Yu Qianxi was covered in cold sweat.
She had definitely found the right person in Di Jiu. She had initially planned to come over with Bai Changyi. Thinking of it now, even if Bai Changyi had reached the third level, he would not have taken care of her. As for being careful on the third level, there was no point in being careful when one encountered such a danger. The problem was her insufficient strength.
She was shocked that she did not know what kind of divine power Di Jiu had executed when they’d escaped. This was a place with broken Heaven Earth Laws, yet he could actually escape at will. This had to be related to Di Jiu’s divine power technique. However, she was too embarrassed to ask again.
Di Jiu gestured with his hands.
Since we are a team, we naturally have to help each other…

Before Di Jiu could finish, he once again led Yu Qianxi away and moved dozens of feet to the side. He knew that the place where Yu Qianxi stood had already vanished without a trace.
Yu Qianxi was trembling in fear as she looked at the place that had vanished. She was not even in the mood to talk. The place had definitely collapsed because of the shattered laws’ collapse. Without Di Jiu, she would most likely have been swept away by the collapse of the laws.
There were only two possibilities after being swept away by collapsing laws. She would either have been twisted into scraps by the laws or she would have entered an unknown spatial realm. It was hard to sense the collapse of the laws. Since Di Jiu could sense that before it had happened, he had a much better understanding of the Heaven Earth Law than her.
Instead, Di Jiu was pleasantly surprised. The third level was definitely a better place for cultivation than the second level. After reaching the Dao Birth, he could no longer advance in any way, including his Tempered Body. Ever since he had formed a perfected Immortal Divine Body, he could no longer advance either. Once he found the Dao fruit garden and obtained the Dao fruits, he would send Yu Qianxi to the second level before he entered the third level and continued cultivating.
When he entered the third level, the bone slip’s indication became clearer.
No matter how cautious Di Jiu was, after walking on the third level for two months, he was still riddled with injuries. Once, his arm had been nearly twisted off by a nomological displacement. On the contrary, Yu Qianxi, who he had been protecting, had only suffered some light injuries. This made Yu Qianxi feel very grateful for him.
Without Di Jiu, she would have been pulverized instead. In her opinion, if she had tried to rely on her strength to come to the third level, she would probably not have been able to do so before reaching the Primordial Dao. Senior Brother Di was simply too heaven-defying. Unfortunately, he had been targeted by Jiang Dai. Otherwise…

We’ve here. The Dao fruit garden should be here.
Di Jiu interrupted Yu Qianxi’s wild imagination.

Why is there nothing here?
Yu Qianxi, who only saw gray sandy ground, subconsciously asked.
Di Jiu chuckled.
If anyone could see it, it would not be our turn to come to this Dao fruit garden.

Since he cultivated the Nomological Dao, he had sensed the fluctuations of the natural Dharma Arrays here long ago. It was clear that this place had been sealed by a natural Defense Array.
