In this place where the laws are weak, although the Divine Physique still cannot fully withstand the chaotic fluctuations of the rules, Joe Di is no longer on the brink of death at every moment. Regardless of whether spatial or temporal laws can be comprehended here, at the very least, this is a top-tier location for body refinement.
With no threat to his life, Joe Di continued to circulate the Titan Body Technique. After sensing the benefits of a powerful physical body, Joe Di formed a new idea: first, he would enhance his physique, then venture to other parts of the Chaos Rift to comprehend various laws. As for the laws of time, they must reside in the deepest part of this Chaos Rift.
It must be said, within the Chaos Rift, as long as one finds a relatively safe spot, it is the best place for body refinement. This area not only contains chaotic laws that temper the body, but also harbors various law auras suitable for body cultivation.
Just as Joe Di's Divine Physique stabilized and he was advancing toward the mid-stage, a terrifying surge of chaotic law energy swept through once again.
"Pfft!" Several streams of blood burst from Joe Di's body as the chaotic law vortex shattered the bones in his chest.
Startled, Joe Di swept his divine sense frantically outward, searching for another weak spot in the laws. Only now did he realize that safe zones within the Chaos Rift were never truly safe—these chaotic laws were constantly shifting.
No wonder so few ever make it out alive. If not for the Ninth Prime Law, which allowed him to locate safe spaces in the shortest time, Joe Di wouldn't have lasted long either.
When Joe Di found another safe spot where the chaotic laws were weak, a swirling law vortex nearly tore his waist apart.
Quickly shifting to a new safe spot, Joe Di swallowed several pills and did not dare to focus solely on body refinement. While refining his body, he released his divine sense, searching for the next safe location.
Joe Di's divine sense was soon shredded by the chaotic laws. At this moment, besides circulating the Titan Body Technique, he also had to constantly use the Soulforge Technique to temper his divine sense.
At this time, Joe Di couldn't even think about venturing deeper to comprehend the laws of time or space; he had to focus all his energy on tempering his physical body and divine sense, just to survive here.
After several days, Joe Di gained some understanding of the Chaos Rift. His luck was truly remarkable—many of the chaotic law vortexes here could annihilate his divine sense before it even touched them. Even a late-stage Immortal Emperor would be destroyed by such vortexes.
No wonder, after he entered, no Immortal Emperor dared to pursue him.
The chaotic laws of the Chaos Rift were in constant flux and agitation, with countless law vortexes appearing unpredictably. Joe Di was deeply grateful for the strands of Prime Law within his Sea of Consciousness—these laws always guided him away from danger at the most critical moments.
After surviving in the Chaos Rift for a month, Joe Di began to doubt whether Nate Shee truly survived here as a Grand Celestial.
Without the Ninth Prime Law or a treasure similar to it, a Grand Celestial's chance of surviving in the Chaos Rift is absolutely zero. Even with the Ninth Prime Law and a Divine Physique, after a month here, Joe Di's entire body was covered in wounds, with hardly any intact skin or unbroken bones. His divine sense was constantly being torn apart.
At first, every time Joe Di's divine sense was shredded, he felt a wave of exhaustion. Yet he dared not fully withdraw his divine sense; if he did, he might be instantly destroyed by a law vortex.
After two months, Joe Di discovered that each time his divine sense was shredded, under the Soulforge Technique, it became more refined and resilient.
Just after the third month passed, Joe Di felt a thunderous boom erupt in his Sea of Consciousness, which then expanded several times over. The range of his divine sense also multiplied many times—this was...
Joe Di was instantly overjoyed—both his Sea of Consciousness and divine sense had advanced. Back then, he nearly destroyed his Sea of Consciousness just to reach Spirit Sense Level Seven.
Now, after just three months, his divine sense had reached Spirit Sense Level Seven. Not only that, after months of body refinement in this chaotic space, his physical body had also reached the peak of early Divine Physique.
Indeed, crisis and opportunity always go hand in hand.
With his divine sense greatly enhanced, Joe Di finally had some breathing room—he no longer needed to devote all his energy to survival, and his living space expanded.
In the few months since entering the Chaos Rift, his range of movement had actually been quite limited. Now, with his divine sense at Spirit Sense Level Seven, Joe Di felt he could finally spare some energy for cultivation.
A first-layer Grand Celestial's cultivation was far too weak in the Chaos Rift. So weak, in fact, that Joe Di didn't even dare to take out the fruit he'd obtained to examine it.
That fruit was definitely extraordinary. Now that his divine sense had advanced and his wounded body was gradually recovering, danger still lurked in the Chaos Rift. If he took out the fruit and it was swept away by a law vortex, he wouldn't even have time to regret it.
The laws in the Chaos Rift were so chaotic that only Joe Di could cultivate here. With the help of the Ninth Prime Law, he could clearly separate the chaotic law auras and absorb the celestial spiritual energy he needed.
As time passed, Joe Di absorbed more and more celestial spiritual energy. Eventually, he no longer needed the Ninth Prime Law to separate the chaotic law vortexes—he could directly absorb the energy.
After a year, Joe Di's refined body officially advanced to mid-stage Divine Physique, and under the Soulforge Technique, his divine sense became even more condensed, vaguely approaching Spirit Sense Level Eight.
Even his cultivation had reached the second layer of Grand Celestial. Only at this point did Joe Di truly gain a foothold in this space, and the wounds and scars on his body were reduced to the bare minimum.
At this moment, Joe Di no longer needed to use his divine sense to deliberately search for weak spots in the chaotic laws—he could simply rely on his intuition to know exactly where it was safest.
Joe Di was well aware that it was unrealistic to rapidly reach the Immortal King or Immortal Lord stage in this place.
However, here, divine sense was of immense importance. As long as his divine sense continued to grow, his safety would be further assured.
Joe Di focused mainly on tempering his Sea of Consciousness and refining his divine sense, keenly sensing every change within his consciousness.
To speed up the refinement of his divine sense, Joe Di even took time to use the pill cauldron to purify Graysky Essence. Although he dared not consume too much at once, every so often, he would purify a few drops and take them.
Each time his divine sense was shredded, he would consume Graysky Essence and then use the Soulforge Technique, allowing him to clearly feel his Sea of Consciousness growing stronger and his divine sense increasing.
Two years, three years...
By the fifth year, Joe Di's Sea of Consciousness erupted with thunderous booms once more, expanding dramatically, and the reach of his divine sense increased severalfold again.
Joe Di stood up in delight—his divine sense had finally reached Spirit Sense Level Eight.
His advancement to Spirit Sense Level Eight was not achieved through ordinary cultivation, but through tempering with the Soulforge Technique and Graysky Essence in this chaotic law space.
Though his divine sense was at Spirit Sense Level Eight, it was far more refined than that of an ordinary cultivator. At this point, even some lesser law vortexes could be pierced directly by his divine sense.
Extending his divine sense, Joe Di could effortlessly manifest a clear divine sense shield around himself.
Although his divine sense shield still couldn't block some of the more powerful law vortexes, it could completely withstand the ordinary ones. With his years of experience in the Chaos Rift, he could always move to a safer spot before a strong law vortex arrived.
Joe Di felt elated. In five years, his cultivation had only advanced to the third layer of Grand Celestial, and his body still lingered at mid-stage Divine Physique. But reaching Spirit Sense Level Eight thrilled him far more than a cultivation breakthrough. In the Chaos Rift, he finally had some means of survival.
Spirit Sense Level Eight meant that, as long as he was careful, even an Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to catch up with his divine sense escape technique.
At this point, he could venture into the deepest part of the Chaos Rift to comprehend the laws of time. For Joe Di now, the only downside of the Chaos Rift was slow cultivation.
With his divine sense shield in place, Joe Di took out a jade box densely covered in restrictions.
When he opened the jade box, the fruit that had once appeared as a swirl of black and white now showed a clear separation between the two colors. Waves of profound Dao aura surged forth, and just a glance left Joe Di feeling refreshed and invigorated.
What kind of fruit was this? Joe Di had never seen its like, nor did he know if it was recorded in the World Tome. When his divine sense touched the World Tome, he was delighted to find that a new page had appeared.
This gave Joe Di a vague understanding: the World Tome was likely blank at first, and each time he encountered something new, a fresh page would be added. It was just like when he first saw the Genesis Cauldron and the World Tree, or when he found a Cosmic Membrane Fragment—the World Tome would record them as new entries.
Perhaps this World Tome once belonged to some great expert, and everything that appeared within it was something that expert had seen before. Anything they hadn't encountered, the World Tome would lack—until Joe Di saw it for the first time, and the tome would add it.
If his guess was correct, why hadn't his spiritual root appeared in the World Tome?
But Joe Di's attention was quickly drawn to the description of this fruit.
The fruit's name consisted of just two characters: Oculus Fruit.
The sole effect of the Oculus Fruit was to grant a Dao Eye. When Joe Di saw those words, he was so shocked he nearly cried out—he knew what this was.
(That's all for today's update, friends. Good night!)
