Chapter 414: The Chaotic Law Zone
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Di Jiu’s Tempered Body was extremely close to the perfected spirit body. Although he had been severely injured by the spatial dislocation, he had fully recovered in just a few days.
Several days had passed since Di Jiu had entered the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, yet he could finally take a good look at his surroundings without any worries.
Just like the rumors, the laws inside the Lunar Forsaken Tomb were chaotic. Since Di Jiu possessed the Ninth Dao Law, he could sense the chaotic nomological aura even more vividly.
Although there was a high chance of finding top-notch treasures here, cultivating in this place could easily ruin a person’s future in cultivation if they weren’t careful.
Di Jiu didn’t go any deeper into the tomb. He wasn’t afraid of the people from New Moon Commercial Building catching up to him. In a place with such chaotic laws, he was in a much more favorable position than them.
Firstly, he had the Spiritual Force escape technique. Secondly, with the Ninth Dao Law, who would dare claim to be better than him at comprehending heaven and earth laws? Even an Immortal Emperor wouldn’t dare say that in front of him.
Di Jiu had already checked all the rings. He hadn’t managed to get anything good from New Moon Commercial Building. Apart from some common cultivating resources, the rest were mostly low-level materials and immortal spiritual herbs.
His only comfort was a detailed map of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb and an introduction jade slip in the ring of the female cultivator he had killed.
Di Jiu didn’t look at the map. Instead, his Spiritual Force landed on the introduction jade slip of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb first.
His Spiritual Force scanned the contents quickly. After just a couple of minutes, he put down the jade slip and started considering his next stop.
According to the jade slip, many places in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb produced treasures. The place that produced treasures of the highest quality was the Lunar Immortal Sea. The seawater of the Lunar Immortal Sea was creamy-white and highly viscous. However, although all kinds of high-level immortal spiritual herbs could be found there, it was also an extremely dangerous place. There was almost zero chance of survival once a person fell into the sea.
Moreover, a mist would appear on the Lunar Immortal Sea occasionally. If someone had yet to leave the Lunar Immortal Sea when the mist appeared, they would never get out.
Although the Lunar Immortal Sea was extremely dangerous, countless cultivators still made their way there because of the high-level materials. Occasionally, a single piece of material would be traded for countless cultivating resources. Apart from top-notch materials, the Lunar Immortal Sea also produced lots of spiritual objects.
Top-notch immortal spiritual herbs appeared most frequently in the Dark Ruins Canyon. Although this place was no less dangerous than the Lunar Immortal Sea, if one could get out after entering the canyon, the payback would be huge.
Di Jiu was also overjoyed because he had found out where Time Crystals came from. They came from the Chaotic Law Zone.
Apart from Time Crystals, the Chaotic Law Zone also produced Space Crystals. The laws in the Chaotic Law Zone were a complete mess, and one’s chances of survival after entering that place were slim. However, anyone who could enter that place and come out alive would become an outstanding expert. According to the rumors, the strongest man in the Illusionary Rainbow Immortal Continent, Ye Xi, had actually been to the Chaotic Law Zone and come out unscathed.
However, most of the Time Crystals and Space Crystals that came out of the Lunar Forsaken Tomb weren’t obtained by cultivators who went into the Chaotic Law Zone. They were actually found outside.
Due to the chaotic laws, the bodies of the cultivators that died inside would occasionally be sent out by the chaotic space law. These cultivators usually carried quality items with them, including Time Crystals and Space Crystals.
According to the introduction jade slip, the best option would be to spend 10 years in a common spot in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb before heading towards the Lunar Immortal Sea. Subsequently, if a cultivator wanted more treasures, they could head to the Dark Ruins Canyon.
On the other hand, the jade slip advised against going to the Chaotic Law Zone.
Di Jiu put away the jade slip before his Spiritual Force landed on the map. He quickly found the Chaotic Law Zone. Based on the scale of the map and the location of the Chaotic Law Zone, it would take him at least one to two years to get there without using the Spiritual Force escape technique.
Di Jiu couldn’t afford to spend that much time, so he used the Spiritual Force escape technique without hesitation. His target was neither the Lunar Immortal Sea nor the Dark Ruins Canyon. It was the Chaotic Law Zone.
He could only grasp the law of time after obtaining Time Crystals. Once that happened, his strength would grow exponentially!
When he obtained the Time Crystals and grasped the law of time, he would even be able to head to the Dark Ruins Canyon and the Lunar Immortal Sea.
Although he could only refine low-grade immortal weapons, his saber array required a large number of supreme-grade immortal weapons. It was impractical to purchase those weapons, so he needed to know how to refine them himself.
As far as his proficiency in alchemy was concerned, he needed to become a grade-seven Elixir King or even a grade-eight Alchemy Supremacy in order to enter the next hall in Dai He Hall.
Therefore, Di Jiu did the opposite of what the jade slip recommended. He wanted to improve his strength first by heading to the Chaotic Law Zone before going to the Lunar Immortal Sea and the Dark Ruins Canyon to work on his alchemy and smithing level.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force was at level six, so he didn’t dare exert it fully in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb, which allowed him to avoid any dangers in time.
However, despite his sensitivity to laws, he was still severely injured by the chaotic laws more than once for using the Spiritual Force escape technique in the Lunar Forsaken Tomb.
Luckily, since he was a Tempered Body cultivator with an Immortal Spirit Body, the injuries wouldn’t affect his speed as long as they were superficial.
It took Di Jiu only three months to complete a trip that was supposed to take two years. Meanwhile, the Chaotic Law Zone appeared in his Spiritual Force.
Before he had even physically reached the Chaotic Law Zone, Di Jiu had already spotted many cultivators wandering around the place.
He stopped moving, left speechless by what he saw. The cultivators wandering outside the Chaotic Law Zone were clearly waiting for a free lunch. They were hanging around, hoping that something good would be swept out of the Chaotic Law Zone. There was actually no difference between living life in vain and doing what they were doing. There were lots of people like this in the vast galaxy.
Di Jiu did not want to enter the Chaotic Law Zone because he was suicidal. In his opinion, it was best to gain some insight into time laws outside the Chaotic Law Zone before heading into it carefully. However, how could he do that with so many cultivators wandering around the entrance?
No matter how helpless Di Jiu felt, he could only head towards the entrance and carefully extend his Spiritual Force into it.
Boom! As soon as Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated the Chaotic Law Zone, a blast took place inside his Spiritual Sea. It instantly felt like it was going to explode. Di Jiu turned pale and quickly retracted his Spiritual Force.
How the hell could anyone enter this place?
“Friend, it’s your first time here, right? You can’t permeate this place with your Spiritual Force. Otherwise, your Spiritual Sea will collapse.” The gray-robed cultivator standing beside Di Jiu, who was at the late-stage Immortal Lord Realm, chuckled and explained the situation when he saw Di Jiu’s pale face.
Di Jiu nodded and replied, “Yeah, I don’t know this place very well. If my Spiritual Sea collapsed even on the outside, how would I protect it after I entered this place?”
The gray-robed cultivator, who didn’t seem to care about Di Jiu’s words, responded nonchalantly, “It is possible to enter this place, but not everyone can do it. Most cultivators don’t ever come out after going in. The rare people that actually come out either end up with collapsed Spiritual Seas or their physical bodies reach the verge of disintegration. In that case, what is the point of obtaining all those items?”
Di Jiu frowned and said, “But I’ve heard that Senior Ye Xi entered the Chaotic Law Zone too. Was he already an Immortal Emperor when he went in?”
Another cultivator beside him scoffed and said, “Senior Ye? Who in this universe could compare to Senior Ye? Rumor has it that Senior Ye wasn’t even an Immortal King when he entered this place.”
Di Jiu actually calmed down when he heard that. If Ye Xi had been able to enter this place when he wasn’t even an Immortal King, why couldn’t he? At the very least, he had the Book of the World and the Ninth Dao Law. He had even used a Universe Membrane fragment to help his Tempered Body transcend Nirvana. No matter how incredible Ye Xi was, he couldn’t possibly be stronger than him at the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, right?
“Friends, I just heard that a natural restriction has appeared on the Fiery Realm Mountain. The restriction’s level is too high, and there aren’t enough people to open it. However, there are top-notch treasures hidden in the restriction. Is anyone interested in forming a team with me and heading to the restriction?” a cultivator at the late-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm suddenly declared loudly while he stepped forward.
As if validating the cultivator’s words, a tremor went through space, causing their feet to vibrate as soon as he finished his words.
“They are already attacking the natural restriction. If you want to come with me, let’s hurry up and form a team!” the cultivator added anxiously.
“I will join you…”
“Count me in…”
Almost 90% of the cultivators present opted to join him.
Di Jiu, who was just thinking of comprehending the nomological aura outside the Chaotic Law Zone now that everyone was leaving, suddenly felt an indistinct, abnormal aura.
He used a Universe Membrane fragment to help his body transcend Nirvana, as he still had another fragment with him. He also had the Ninth Dao Law, so he instantly realized that this wasn’t an ordinary object when he felt the aura.
Since there were quality items at stake, how could he sit this one out? He also stepped forward and said, “I will join you too.”
