Chapter 758: Existing Is Dao

Di Jiu was enveloped by a boundless Dao force. He could clearly sense that his injuries were swiftly disappearing as his insight into the Nomological Dao became increasingly more perfect.

This was a very good thing for him, as he was pursuing the most perfect Dao and cultivation technique.

As a result, ever since losing a leg, he had been consistently thinking of obtaining the best Heaven Earth spiritual objects to replace the hole in his body.

Today, he finally understood that there was no such thing as Dao perfection. There was only existing and not existing.

Existing was logical, so it was Dao! The same rule applied to his Nomological Dao.

Incompleteness was considered a Heaven Earth Law as well. Perfection did not exist.

Regardless of whether his body or his Dao force was incomplete, it was a law and a Dao.

At that moment, he clearly sensed that his Ninth World had been perfected once again. Even the Creation Wood exuded a joyous aura and instantly turned from ten feet several hundred feet tall.

Di Jiu experienced calm happiness. He had always been seeking help from the Creation Wood, and it would always help him when he was injured. Now, he had finally understood that all the objects in this universe had a mutual relationship. Even though he was the one who had planted the Creation Wood and it relied on his Ninth World to survive, that did not mean that he could unidirectionally take from the Creation Wood without giving anything back in return.

Today, his Dao had finally been perfected…

No, it would be more accurate to say that his Dao had finally completed the second step, simultaneously perfecting the laws in the Ninth World as well. This naturally benefited the Creation Wood, which lived in the Ninth World, and helped it upgrade.

Boom! The sound of an explosion echoed in his Spiritual Sea. Upon its recovery, it started to swiftly expand. Di Jiu took out several supreme-grade divine spirit meridians without any hesitation, swallowing the rest of the 100-million-year-old Divine Quintessence as well.

In a moment, Di Jiu’s aura became increasingly powerful.

The vast Primordial Chaos aura condensed and the Divine Spirit Qi of the supreme-grade divine spirit meridian formed a whirlpool that wrapped around Di Jiu to form a huge cocoon.

Gan Rou and the rest, who were not cultivators, were forced to continuously retreat as they stared in shock at the indistinct churning Dao runes. Everyone gathered nearby could sense that the impurities in their bodies were being flushed out, making their bodies feel lighter than before.

All the villagers of Jia He Town knelt on the ground. They might be uneducated, but they realized that the changes in Jia He Town had been brought about by Di Jiu and not that giant meteorite statue.

The light shining from the Dao runes forced them to lower their gazes and prostrate on the ground.

Only Gan Rou was dumbly staring at Di Jiu. She knew that she would not be leaving Jia He Town no matter what she said.

She had always believed that all humans were equal. However, when the differences between two people reached a certain degree, could there still be equality? This was something she was starting to doubt.

Nai Yisheng, who was the only cultivator, was trembling like a leaf. He had already guessed that Di Jiu was stronger than him but he did not know to what extent.

The dense Divine Spirit Qi in this area was clearly produced because of Di Jiu, who was an expert, and not due to a spirit meridian. He felt dizzy from looking at the dozens of spirit meridians Di Jiu had taken out.

At the moment, even though he was not cultivating, his cultivation level was increasing. He was about to break through to the ninth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Even though he had not once thought of attaining the Golden Core Realm, the Golden Core was starting to condense within him. Just what kind of Spirit Qi was this?

Nai Yisheng did not feel any joy from his exponentially-increasing cultivation level whatsoever, and the only thought he had was that he wanted to quickly escape. Nonetheless, he was aware that there was absolutely no way he would be able to escape. After all, where could he escape to if the cultivation aura of Di Jiu was sufficient to make his cultivation level increase so much?

He could only prostrate on the ground as well and start to pray with the villagers.

Crack! Crack! All the bones and meridians in Di Jiu’s body started to emit cracking sounds. The Starry Sky meridian became whole again. A long moment later, the Dao rune aura surrounding Di Jiu started to slowly dissipate.

Di Jiu regained his original appearance after he put away the dozen supreme-grade divine spirit meridians.

Upon understanding that no Dao was perfect, he had never once thought of repairing his leg. However, it had naturally recovered.

Di Jiu did not think that his new leg was more perfect than his original one. Looking up at the vast void, he knew that if he wanted to, he could leave this realm anytime he wished.

It was difficult to go to a low-level realm from a high-level one, but the opposite was very easy.

Besides, given his current understanding of the Dao, it would be an easy feat for him to go to a low-level realm from a high-level one.

This was his Dao. This was the direction he wanted to head in.

He had truly not expected that he would break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm on a mortal planet.

Di Jiu turned around and saw that the villagers were all prostrated on the ground, not daring to even lift their heads. Only Gan Rou was staring dumbly at him.

“Gan Rou, I came from a place far away. Unfortunately, I cannot bring you along.” Di Jiu walked over to Gan Rou as he spoke apologetically.

He was capable of taking Gan Rou with him, but he had no reason to do so.

“I know, Big Brother Di…” It was unclear whether she was speaking to Di Jiu or murmuring to herself. “You have already recovered, and I am not qualified to leave with you.”

Di Jiu did not know how to answer. He knew that the reason was not what she was making it out to be.

“Big Brother Di, I just hope that I will have the opportunity to see you again in the future. Even if this chance is one in a hundred million, it will be enough.” Gan Rou’s face was a little pale. She had become even more beautiful when her body had been cleansed of all impurities after Di Jiu had attained the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Di Jiu knew what Gan Rou was implying. She was saying that fate was unfair to her. It was alright if she lost this opportunity. However, fate had not even given her such an opportunity. If that was the case, how could she work hard?

“You still have that opportunity, Gan Rou, although it may not necessarily mean that you will see me again. Perhaps, your horizons will be broadened after you work hard and you will see a vast universe. Perhaps, one day, you will encounter me within the universe. Always remember what you said. We are not inferior to anyone in any way in this universe.” Upon saying that, Di Jiu carved an imprint in the recesses of Gan Rou’s intent.

He left behind a Small World there. If Gan Rou was able to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm on this mortal planet, then she would be able to obtain it and she would have the chance to enter the vast void.

Otherwise, she would stay in this place forever along with the Small World. Just like Gan Rou had said, she should also be given the opportunity to see the universe.

…

By the time Gan Rou woke up, Di Jiu had already left long ago and the State Teacher had disappeared. Her eyes were red. She desperately tried to hold back her tears, but some escaped. Big Brother Di had indeed looked down on a village woman like her and had not brought her away from there.

“Rou’er, we belong in a different world from him. We are only the villagers of Jia He Town…” Her father, who had been watching over her, naturally knew what she was thinking. Ever since he had woken up from his coma, his daughter would seek out Di Jiu every time she went out.

However, Di Jiu had to be an immortal so the differences between them and Di Jiu were as great as heaven and earth. He wished that his daughter would wake up from this unattainable daydream.

Gan Rou was about to speak when she froze suddenly. She sensed that numerous things had appeared inside her head, clear as a day, as though they had been carved in her consciousness.

These things must have been left behind by Big Brother Di. He was a cultivator, and a cultivation technique had been carved inside her mind. The way to attain a higher cultivation was stated as well…

“Rou’er, don’t overthink it.” Gan Rou’s father did not know how to comfort his daughter. Seeing her in a daze as tears slipped down her cheeks, he could only tell her not to overthink things.

Gan Rou suddenly climbed back up, her eyes shining with determination. “Father, I am going to find him.”
