Chapter 923: Successful Dao

The true Dao was not obtained by gaining insight from other worlds or copying other Dao laws. No matter how perfect such a Dao was, it would not surpass the original world of the universe.

It was just like drawing something mechanically. No matter how real the drawing was, it couldn’t exceed reality.

Di Jiu still didn’t know what kind of transformation would await him after he cut off the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River. However, he was sure that this was the Dao he should pursue. Even though he still didn’t know what the outcome would be now, he was walking on the right path.

His cultivation level had weakened to the extreme, and he cut off his Nomological Dao again. No matter how well it was restored, his strength would not rise anymore.

Di Jiu just frantically refined the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River and gained insight into every piece of Dao law information. Then, he cut off the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River that he had gained insight into.

Time was like running water. It never stopped.

The entire Great Wing Tribe had been drowned by the Heavenly Witch River, so there were no survivors there. Only Di Jiu was left.

At first, although Di Jiu had been gaining insight into the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River and cutting them off, he was somewhat worried about Du Bu.

If Du Bu came to the Heavenly Witch Realm at the moment, Di Jiu would probably be able to do nothing. Du Bu would easily crush him into ashes.

Decades later, Di Jiu pushed all these thoughts aside and immersed himself into cutting off his Dao.

A seed seemed to be sprouting in the depths of his consciousness. Di Jiu had a feeling that after he completely cut off the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River, he would fully understand what he would eventually get. All the external Dao runes were obstacles to the germination of that seed. He had to cut it off cleanly and leave nothing behind.

Crack! It seemed like the seed had cracked out of the soil and germinated. While Di Jiu was cutting off the last Dao rune of the Heavenly Witch River, it felt as though he had been cleansed and now had a new Dao.

He stood up all of a sudden, his intent moving. A pathway appeared on the Heavenly Witch River that could lead anywhere based on his intent. He had clearly cut off all the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River that he had gained insight into. However, the entire Heavenly Witch River appeared in his intent. As long as he was willing, he could capture the Heavenly Witch River and fling it into the void.

Endless Heaven Earth Essence Energy swept over. At that moment, Di Jiu couldn’t take out any divine spirit meridians or cultivating resources. The vast universe’s Heaven Earth Essence Energy permeated the Heaven Earth Essence Energy before completely enveloping him.

Di Jiu’s cultivation level frantically soared. In the blink of an eye, he was restored to the Primordial Dao Realm, the Primordial Chaos Realm, and the early-stage Dao Integration Realm.

After his cultivation level reached the perfected early-stage Dao Integration, all the insight was halted and the Heaven Earth Essence Energy gradually weakened. It seemed as if when he needed Heaven Earth Essence Energy, it would permeate the vast void of the universe.

Di Jiu calmed down and got over his excitement before finding peace.

He had cut off all the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River yet he still cultivated the Nomological Dao. However, this Nomological Dao was no longer the Nomological Dao of the Five-Element Universe or the Nomological Dao that had been set up after he had gained insight into the Ninth Dao Law. It also wasn’t the Nomological Dao of the Heavenly Witch River that he had cut off.

His Nomological Dao had turned into him. As he looked at the vast void, he took a step forward and immediately found himself standing on top of the Heavenly Witch River.

He was the universe. He was the most mysterious and esoteric Dao of the universe. From now on, he would be cultivating the Nomological Dao, yet this wasn’t really the Nomological Dao. Only Di Jiu knew that.

From now on, no matter which universe he was in, the Heaven Earth Law of the universe would no longer restrain his cultivation level or suppress his Spiritual Force as long as he was still alive.

“If I’m here, my Dao is also here!” Di Jiu said calmly.

When a clap of spring thunder exploded in the vast void, names appeared before Di Jiu’s eyes before quickly disappearing.

Di Jiu took a deep breath and bowed before the void. “Thank you, Senior Sister Cao.”

Di Jiu knew very well what the names that had appeared in the vast universe meant. In the endless, vast universe, he was not the only one who had been enlightened and knew that if he was there, his Dao was also there. The names that had appeared belonged to the people who had been enlightened before him.

Without needing to inquire about these people, he knew that they were exceptional, almighty people. He might have experienced different processes from these experts, but they had all still stood in the same position in the end.

Di Jiu didn’t care whether Du Bu’s name was among those names, as he would no longer be afraid of Du Bu or affected by him.

He was thankful for Cao Xi. Without her, even if he had reached the third step, he might not have been enlightened about where this Dao was. Then, he would only have resigned himself to his fate when facing the experts who had gained insight into their Dao.

When he saw the Heavenly Witch River below his feet, Di Jiu suddenly raised his hand to clap. Then, the Heavenly Witch River abruptly shattered and turned into an explosion of endless Dao runes.

A moment later, countless more rivers, ponds, and streams appeared. There were even endless oceans. Everything was transformed from the shattered Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River.

The cracked Dao rune turned into life-force and evolved into countless Heaven Earth Laws, such as wind, thunder, and rain, before being integrated into the entire Heavenly Witch Realm.

Boom! Thunder roared. Very soon, light rain fell from the sky. Di Jiu let the rain brush over his body, making his heart calmer and more peaceful.

He could completely refine this Heavenly Witch River and take it away. However, he hadn’t, and there was no need to do so right now. He had been enlightened about the Dao, which had surpassed Cao Xi’s expectations. Even Cao Xi hadn’t understood what the true Dao was.

He hadn’t set up his own Heaven Earth Law in the Heavenly Witch Realm or let the people of this realm survive. He had only turned the Heavenly Witch River into countless water sources and transformed the Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River into a Heaven Earth Law that humans could survive in.

Perhaps, this was what Cao Xi would have been the most satisfied with.

...

The entire Heavenly Witch Realm had gone completely insane. The Heavenly Witch River above their heads had disappeared all of a sudden, but the water sources that worried them had not disappeared. After all, there used to be countless big rivers and endless streams in the whole Heavenly Witch Realm...

Light rain fell, and the dry land that had never been soaked in rain also exhibited a kind of life-force that was full of life-force aura.

The Dao runes of the Heavenly Witch River dispersed. Then, shades of green color appeared in the Heavenly Witch Realm, which had always been withering and dull.

Countless people knelt on the ground before putting down the metal spears they’d been holding in their hands for the battle, the huge stones they had been carrying to construct the Heavenly Witch River, and the stone shovels they had been clutching in their hands...

Although they didn’t understand what was going on, they understood something else deep down. From now on, the Heavenly Witch Realm would enter a new era and become a world filled with life. From now on, the Heavenly Witch Realm would have a civilization and start evolving. It would not be at a standstill like it had been before.

...

Di Jiu stood in the void in the Heavenly Witch Realm and kept gazing at the Heavenly Witch River. He knew that this was where Cao Xi was.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Another explosion erupted. A rainbow then burst from the original location of the Heavenly Witch River. The rainbow circled Di Jiu three times and gave off a pleasant aura. It rushed up the vast void before disappearing in the universe.

Di Jiu knew that it had taken away the last trace of Cao Xi’s memory. From now on, she would no longer exist in the universe.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he raised his hand to wipe his eyes. He had never owed anyone in his life. However, he owed Cao Xi.
