Chapter 419: The Fourth and Fifth Cut

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Half a year later, Di Jiu’s bones started making cracking sounds once again and reformed as his tempered body attained the late-stage Immortal Divine Body.

Under normal circumstances, Di Jiu would have been overjoyed about attaining the late-stage Immortal Divine Body. However, right now, he continued to feel the Dao runes of the time law he had captured, as if he did not know that his tempered body had broken through a whole new level.

Countless orders flashed across Di Jiu’s mind in a mess, followed by another swamp of chaotic orders…

Some of the chaotic orders contained the time law, while others contained other types of orders.

Di Jiu could not feel the passing of time in the chaotic world of orders.

Every single time he touched a time law, he would feel as though he was going to seize it, only to realize that it had slipped away.

A few months flew past before Di Jiu saw a small gap upon landing his thoughts on a fleeting time law once again…

Through the gap, he seemed to see everything in that chaotic space. That tiny gap was like an eternal existence that was enlarged infinitely. It was no longer a hindrance for him and it did not disappear anymore.

He finally captured the feeling he had experienced in the Dai He Hall. At the time, the time crystal had disappeared the moment he had captured that feeling.

This time, he finally experienced the same feeling.

The time law in his mind slowed down as if it had come to a stop in front of his eyes. It then split open to let him feel it slowly.

Life in this world was as brief as a glimpse of a white colt flashing past a chink in the wall…

That slit came to a stop, and the scenery in it was no longer fleeting. Di Jiu was able to see everything very clearly.

Di Jiu closed his eyes and slammed his Heavenly Aqua Saber against it. The swing of the saber almost took his mind and soul away and depleted his Immortal Essence.

Everything in his surroundings came to a standstill, the chaotic laws stopped, and the swirling sand became motionless…

Something was moving in this space, and that was the Heavenly Aqua Saber. The saber split the space apart and shattered the whirlpool of chaotic laws into pieces.

Crack! When that whirlpool of chaotic laws was torn into pieces, everything in that space became enlivened and went back to its original state.

Di Jiu felt his scalp go numb and held the Heavenly Aqua Saber with his eyes closed. He continued to feel that cut without feeling tired at all.

Through the swing of the saber, not only did he feel the time law, but time also stopped momentarily and the saber cut through a law in the whirlpool of chaotic laws.

If he moved against his opponent, how many people would actually be able to resist the impact of the saber?

Di Jiu took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The reason he could cut the law in the whirlpool of chaotic orders was not because he had touched the time law, but because he had the Dao eyes.

When he touched the time order, he felt a new supernormal ability- the Law of Severance.

All supernormal abilities were constructed by orders, regardless of whether it was meant to be that way or not.

For instance, many people could use the flame supernormal abilities although they did not understand the fire properties of the orders. Every flame supernormal ability was a type of order. During a battle, he would be able to weaken his opponent drastically by splitting his supernormal abilities, even if he could not tackle them completely.

The cut of the Law of Severance, which would be called the Severance Cut, was his fourth cut. The most impressive thing about the cut was that it could touch the time law and put the space into a standstill. The next cut touched the time law in a glimpse. Therefore, the fifth cut would be called a Glimpse.

Di Jiu did not know how much time he had spent trying to understand the time order. It was the first time he lost track of time after sinking into deep thought.

As long as he was able to understand the fourth cut and the fifth cut, Di Jiu would consider any amount of time well-spent.

At that moment, Di Jiu did not care whether he would find the time crystal or not. Although he wanted to find the time crystal to feel the time law, now that he had felt the time law and understood the passing of time, he would not stay in this place any longer.

As the saying went, a watched flower never bloomed. A dark grey crystal stone appeared in Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force when he was about to leave.

Di Jiu had once gotten a Time Crystal and could thus identify it the moment his Spiritual Force landed on it.

Although Di Jiu did not have to get the Time Crystal, he would not let it pass since it had appeared.

Now that his tempered body was at the late-stage Immortal Divine Body, there were a few whirlpools that could threaten his. Even the misplaced chaos that contained the time law had a low probability of hurting him.

Di Jiu caught the first crystal stone of time within half an hour.

It was like a Domino effect. Di Jiu managed to find the second and third crystal stones shortly after finding the first one.

Di Jiu was disappointed that he had not seen the Space Crystal or felt a single spatial order.

He decided to leave this place when he found the ninth Time Crystal, as he believed that his life was his priority even if his guess may be wrong.

There was no point in staying there since he had gotten what he wanted.

No one would probably believe Di Jiu if he told them that he could use the Spiritual Force escape technique in this chaotic space. However, he managed to escape from this space by using the technique within two hours.

Other than a few cultivators who felt that something had slipped out of the chaotic space, most cultivators on the periphery of the space did not feel anything.

…

Di Jiu arrived in the Dark Ruins Canyon three months after escaping from this space.

He did not want to go to the Lunar Immortal Sea. Instead, he wanted to find some immortal spirit herbs in the Dark Ruins Canyon before returning to the Dai He Hall for cultivation. The Dai He Hall had many Immortal Spirit Meridians and was an ideal place for reclusive cultivation.

Di Jiu only realized how crowded the canyon was when he arrived. In fact, an open area had been created so that countless cultivators could trade and form teams before entering the canyon.

Di Jiu immediately changed his mind about entering the canyon when he saw the situation.

He was a grade-six Alchemy Master who could refine the Ultimate Gamma Elixir. Why not set up a stall outside to refine elixirs and exchange them for immortal spiritual herbs?

Di Jiu walked around and realized that all the good spots had been taken. He could only set up a temporary stall to refine elixirs.

The only purpose of Di Jiu’s stall was to collect level-seven immortal spiritual herbs.

Di Jiu’s stall attracted many cultivators, even though the Dark Ruins Canyon was very big. This was because his stall was named “Bright Pearl Elixir Stall” and he boldly claimed that he was able to refine any elixir at or below grade six. The customers had to pay Di Jiu with level-seven immortal spiritual herbs.

Why would a grade-six alchemy master open a stall outside the Dark Ruins Canyon?

“You can refine any grade-six elixir?” A hawk-eyed man approached Di Jiu’s stall and stared at him coldly.

Di Jiu was disguised as a stony alchemy master, so there were plenty of alchemy masters like him in the Immortal World.

Such alchemy masters would indulge in refining elixirs and care about nothing else in their surroundings.

Di Jiu said emotionlessly, “Yes, you need to pay me with level-seven immortal spiritual herbs.”

“Can you refine the Ultimate Gamma Elixir?” The hawk-eyed man’s tone became increasingly icier.

Di Jiu said calmly, “Yes, each cauldron contains six elixirs, and you must bring along your own immortal spirit herbs. The remuneration I need is six level-seven immortal spirit herbs. Higher-grade herbs will be calculated separately.”

The maximum number of grade-six elixirs Di Jiu had made was nine. However, six elixirs was the maximum number any other alchemy master could obtain. Therefore, Di Jiu did not want to be unique. He would just keep the three extra elixirs.

The hawk-eyed man did not even ask anything else before throwing a storage bag at Di Jiu. “I need a cauldron of Ultimate Gamma Elixir. Here are the materials.”

Di Jiu scanned the storage bag with his Spiritual Force and discovered that the bag did not contain any level-seven immortal spirit herbs. Although he did not take the bag, he remained calm. “Anyone who wants to refine elixirs has to pay first.”

The hawk-eyed man’s face was filled with murderous intent as he said coldly, “What if you fail?”

Di Jiu responded calmly, as though he could not feel the man’s killing intent. “I won’t.”
