The Eye of the Way exists mostly in legend. It is said that the Eye of the Way can pierce through all illusions, disregarding anything below its own rules and restrictions. These are eyes that can clearly perceive the laws of heaven and earth.
All things in the universe are governed by laws. In other words, as long as the rank of the Eye of the Way is high enough, it can see through everything within the universe.
Even a cultivator unfamiliar with formations could, with a high enough level Eye of the Way, see through the foundational nodes of any array.
Joe Di stared excitedly at the Oculus Fruit in his hand. He had obtained many precious treasures before, but he knew very well that, at this moment, the value of the Oculus Fruit was second only to the Ninth Prime Law for him.
If it were any other immortal spirit fruit, Joe Di would have simply identified it and waited to consume it outside. But the Oculus Fruit was different—he could hardly wait to swallow it and use it to condense the Eye of the Way immediately.
Sensing that there was no immediate danger in his surroundings, Joe Di calmed himself and carefully placed the Oculus Fruit into his mouth.
At this moment, Joe Di could only feel alternating waves of coolness and heat in his left eye, as if endless Dao resonance was suffusing within it.
Without hesitation, Joe Di activated the Ninth Prime Law and captured the law-infused aura of the Eye of the Way. The cool sensation no longer lingered just in his left eye but quickly spread to his right as well.
At first, Joe Di still had a portion of his divine sense extended, alert to the dangers of the chaotic laws around him. But soon after, he became completely immersed in the process of forming the Eye of the Way. Many of the law resonances brought by the Oculus Fruit were things he had never experienced before.
No one knows how much time passed before a terrifying void vortex of chaotic laws tore through Joe Di's divine sense barrier and struck his chest.
Crack! A massive hole was blasted through Joe Di's chest, from front to back. If not for his mid-stage Divine Physique, the void vortex would have destroyed his body entirely.
Such a horrifying injury snapped Joe Di back to consciousness. He quickly took out a Cleardew Elixir and swallowed it, then flashed away to another location.
At this moment, Joe Di felt no dissatisfaction from being severely wounded. His eyes were filled only with joy and excitement. With his mid-stage Divine Physique, as long as his body remained, he could rapidly heal any injury no matter how severe.
What thrilled him most was that his Eye of the Way had formed. Not only that, both his eyes had gained the Eye of the Way, not just his left.
This made Joe Di even more grateful for the Ninth Prime Law. Without it, using the Oculus Fruit would have only allowed one eye to form the Eye of the Way at most.
If truly only one eye had gained the Eye of the Way, Joe Di would have felt a bit uncomfortable.
Once again, the surrounding void vortexes of chaotic laws were blocked by Joe Di's divine sense barrier. He opened his eyes and looked out.
He was delighted to discover that he could now clearly see the layers within some of the weaker void vortexes, even discerning which laws composed certain low-level vortexes...
Moreover, his Eye of the Way could instantly locate the safest spot within this chaotic space, seeing through where the void vortexes were thinnest.
Right now, his Eye of the Way was still at a low level, but even this allowed him to see the distribution of laws within the Chaos Rift and quickly find the safest places. If his Eye of the Way advanced to a higher tier, how incredible would that be?
After the Oculus Fruit appeared in the World Tome, it was followed by a detailed explanation: the Eye of the Way is divided into seven tiers. The first is Mortal Way Sight, the second is Spirit Way Sight, the third is Immortal Way Sight, the fourth is Divine Way Sight, the fifth is Sacred Way Sight, and the sixth and seventh are blank.
The World Tome had no records of the sixth or seventh tier of the Eye of the Way. There are two possibilities: first, the highest rank reached so far is Sacred Way Sight; second, in this universe, the Eye of the Way can only advance to Sacred Way Sight.
Joe Di sensed his own Eye of the Way. As a Grand Celestial cultivator, the moment his Eye of the Way condensed, he surpassed the Mortal Way Sight and now possessed Spirit Way Sight.
According to the World Tome, to advance from Spirit Way Sight to Immortal Way Sight, one needs the ninth-grade celestial herb, Void Flower.
Joe Di knew that obtaining the Void Flower would not be easy. Now that he possessed the Eye of the Way, he would simply keep an eye out for it in the future.
Now he had the Eye of the Way, eighth-level spirit sense, and a mid-stage Divine Physique. Venturing deeper into the Chaos Rift gave him an extra layer of protection.
He wondered if Nate Shee had ventured deeper to comprehend the laws of time...
At that thought, Joe Di suddenly understood why Nate Shee, even as a Grand Celestial, could enter the Chaos Rift. If that was true, the only possibility was that Nate Shee also possessed the Eye of the Way.
The idea that Nate Shee might also have the Eye of the Way made Joe Di's heart tremble. If Nate Shee was one of those who hunted him before, and learned he entered the Chaos Rift, would he come after him here?
Others may not be able to enter the Chaos Rift, but if Nate Shee possesses the Eye of the Way, he could certainly get in.
At this moment, Joe Di could only hope that Nate Shee hadn't been one of those trying to kill him, or that Nate Shee simply wouldn't bother with a low-level cultivator like him. Since Nate Shee had already entered the Chaos Rift, he probably wouldn't care about Chrono Crystals or Space Crystals anymore.
Joe Di tried to reassure himself, but he couldn't shake the unease in his heart. As for the money-making methods of Starlight Tea, even Nate Shee probably wouldn't let that go.
No matter what, he had to change his plans. Originally, Joe Di intended to refine his body to the peak of Divine Physique here, then leave after comprehending the laws of time or space.
But now, with this anxiety, he decided to leave as soon as he obtained a Chrono Crystal.
The deeper one ventured into the Chaos Rift, the more terrifying the chaotic laws became. Even with the Eye of the Way and eighth-level spirit sense, Joe Di had to be extremely cautious. Here, a single moment of carelessness could mean being shredded by a void vortex or torn apart by chaotic laws.
With the Eye of the Way, even at a low tier, Joe Di witnessed all sorts of laws in this place.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth—even wind, lightning, and ice—he had seen them all. But none of these were the laws Joe Di sought; he was searching for time or space.
As Joe Di slowly moved deeper into the Chaos Rift, his injuries began to accumulate once more.
At this point, all of Joe Di's focus was on moving deeper into the Chaos Rift, completely forgetting whether he could withstand even more terrifying void vortexes.
Once again, Joe Di's divine sense detected a powerful dislocated law approaching. He had encountered this many times before; all he needed to do was shift his body and let the powerful law pass by.
To Joe Di's shock, he had only shifted halfway when he suddenly felt time freeze. His movement stopped along with the halted time.
No—that dislocated law was still tearing toward him at great speed. Joe Di panicked, wanting to summon his Azure Veil Blade for defense, but at this moment, it was as if he was trapped in frozen time, completely unable to call forth his Azure Veil Blade.
Spurt! A burst of blood exploded from Joe Di's waist. Luckily, he had shifted halfway; otherwise, that blow would have split him in two.
Once the dislocated law passed, everything around him came back to life.
Time law! Joe Di was so absorbed by the sweep of the time law that he barely registered his near-fatal injury.
It took more than ten breaths before Joe Di finally snapped out of it.
This was the place. Since there was a time law here, there would be another. Even knowing that comprehending the time law here could mean being torn apart by dislocated laws, Joe Di still immersed his mind in the chaotic laws around him.
Joe Di didn't have to wait long—after just a dozen breaths, he sensed that familiar fluctuation again. This time, the void vortex containing the time law wasn't aiming at him, but that didn't affect his comprehension.
All things have form, and so does time. For now, Joe Di couldn't touch the form of time, but he could connect to it through the aura of the time law.
But the sweep of the time law was too fast. Joe Di had just caught it when the law vanished.
Joe Di focused all his attention on catching the next time law. No matter how many times his divine sense barrier was torn by vortexes of law, no matter how many injuries he suffered, Joe Di remained still.
One, two...
Joe Di had no idea how many time laws had swept past. His clothes had long been shredded to rags by the chaotic laws of the Rift, his flesh and bones nearly all exposed, but he paid no heed, still chasing the Dao resonance of time within the chaos.
