Boom! After a powerful Divine Essence rushed over at the main meridian, Ling Xiaoshuang could sense that the most lacking part in her Dao was abruptly complemented and her Dao runes were increasingly perfected. She casually used a wind blade that had a clearer Dao rune law than the previous time she had relied on the nomological Dao runes to form the wind blade, thus forming it substantially this time. With just one wind blade, she sensed that the surrounding space was completely controlled by her blade flare.
Ling Xiaoshuang was very excited. In less than three years, not only had she advanced from the early-stage to the late-stage Dao Integration Realm, but she had also acquired more solid Dao runes.
Big Brother Mu was right. Her Dao was indeed too scattered. After reaching the late-stage Dao Integration Realm, she could truly experience it. As long as she had time, she would no longer be a weak Dao Integration cultivator and she wouldn’t be weaker than any Dao Integration cultivator in the Lost Dao City in the future.
Now that three years had passed, she had to rush to meet Big Brother Di and Big Brother Mu.
By the time Ling Xiaoshuang hurried to the agreed place, Mu Lianqi and Di Jiu were already waiting for her. Mu Lianqi hadn’t made much progress, but it would be considered an improvement if he didn’t regress.
Di Jiu hadn’t made much progress either. He had tried to get enlightened about the Heaven-Opening Mantra for two years. Without the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush, although he had refined a new writing brush, he couldn’t write the true Heaven-Opening Mantra. In the last year, he simply had not cultivated but had looked around to see if he could find a weak realm before he thought of a way to tear the realm.
To his disappointment, in a year, he hadn’t managed to find a void whirlpool where he could leave the Lost Dao World, let alone tear the realm’s weak area.
This made Di Jiu understand that if he still wanted the opportunity to leave the Lost Dao World, he would have to find Shang Huijue and work with him. Without Shang Huijue, he couldn’t leave at all.
“Congratulations, Xiaoshuang. You’ve reached the late-stage Dao Integration Realm.” As soon as Ling Xiaoshuang came over, Di Jiu and Mu Lianqi saw that her cultivation was already at the late-stage Dao Integration Realm.
Ling Xiaoshuang was also very happy. In the Lost Dao World, other people’s cultivation levels were falling. Instead, she could use this opportunity to reach the late-stage Dao Integration Realm. Although she knew that if she continued to stay here, her cultivation level would also regress, she believed that Di Jiu would definitely find a way out.
“Big Brother Mu, if we want to go out, I’m afraid we can only go to the Lost Dao City to find Shang Huijue.” Di Jiu was also a little awkward, as he didn’t really want to find Shang Huijue.
There were several reasons for that. Once an expert like Shang Huijue left the Lost Dao World, his strength would surely skyrocket.
Ever since Di Jiu had obtained the Ninth Dao Law and been enlightened about his Nomological Dao, he had never worried that a person he had overtaken would overtake him instead.
Shang Huijue was different. He could suppress Shang Huijue now. Once he got out of there, Shang Huijue could absolutely surpass him.
He wasn’t a good person either. After this person left, if his strength skyrocketed, Di Jiu was afraid that the first person Shang Huijue would kill would be him. Hence, working with Shang Huijue went against his wishes.
Secondly, the Dao Integration cultivators there did not only include Shang Huijue. There were actually tens of thousands of them. Once all of them went out, that strength could almost topple over the entire universe countless times. No one could suppress this strength at present on the side of the universe he was in.
Nuo La could rampage the entire Heaven’s Beyond, not to mention that Shang Huijue was much stronger than Nuo La.
Besides Shang Huijue, there were Fa and Huang Peng…
There was also a group of third-step experts who were like tigers and wolves. In other words, no one was good there.
However, he had to look for Shang Huijue. He had to leave this place. Regardless of whether he did so to save Xiuqi or for the sake of his Dao Integration, he could not wait for death there.
Even though he had the Ninth World, he was afraid that he would perish in the hands of Shang Huijue in the end.
The Ninth World was also unperfected. As his cultivation level rose, it kept rising and was eventually perfected. Once he stayed in the Lost Dao World, his cultivation level would only stabilize in the perfected Primordial Chaos Realm. Over time, his Ninth World could probably only gradually end up as the second Lost Dao World.
Mu Lianqi said, “Ah Jiu, I actually suggest that you do not find Shang Huijue to talk things over. That is simply not a good idea. I know Shang Huijue’s ruthlessness all too well. For the sake of leaving this place and reducing the cultivators in the Lost Dao World back then, he plotted against a million experts. Otherwise, there would not have been only these 10,000 people in the Lost Dao World.”
Di Jiu nodded his head. “I know he’s not a good person. Unfortunately, if I don’t find Shang Huijue, I don’t have any way of leaving this place.”
Mu Lianqi hesitated for a while before he said suddenly, “Ah Jiu, I have a way. You can try it first. If it fails, we’ll talk about finding Shang Huijue.”
“What is it?” Di Jiu blurted out.
Mu Lianqi raised his hand to impose a restriction, but Di Jiu already had set up a noise isolation restriction. Even Mu Lianqi looked at him in surprise. Di Jiu was definitely one of the most gifted cultivators he had ever met.
Even after the restriction was imposed, Mu Lianqi said in a low voice, “The Lost Dao World used to be a spirit plant world. Although there was no connection with the outside world, once a formed spirit plant perished, it could still go through reincarnation. As long as you can sense the space that the Dao runes of reincarnation appeared in when that happened and give it all your might, there is a 10% chance of tearing the realm of the Lost Dao World given your capability. Then, you should enter the Yin Nether World. After the Yin Nether World, going out would be much easier.”
Puzzled, Di Jiu asked, “Big Brother Mu, wouldn’t Shang Huijue also think of this?”
Di Jiu knew very well how formidable Shang Huijue was. He didn’t believe that Shang Huijue wouldn’t have thought of such a way out.
Mu Lianqi chuckled and smiled. “Shang Huijue would have naturally thought of it. In order to communicate with the Reincarnation Realm or find out how to tear the realm to the Reincarnation Realm, he simply created a mystic area with a pile of treasures. After many cultivators rushed into the mystic area, he would use his Star-Covering Umbrella to lock that mystic area before he released an extremely poisonous mist—the Lawless Falling Dao. When that million cultivators discovered that, all of them wanted to dash out. However, that space had already been locked by Shang Huijue’s Star-Covering Umbrella. The poisonous mist occurred very quickly as well. In a short time, the one million experts had perished.
“Unfortunately, Shang Huijue didn’t find out about the passage of the Reincarnation Dao Runes because he doesn’t know that the Lost Dao World is actually a Chaotic Spirit Plant World that’s different from other ordinary spirit plant worlds. No matter how many cultivators perished, he couldn’t connect to the Reincarnation Dao Runes. In that case, he couldn’t tear the realm to enter the Yin Nether World.”
Ling Xiaoshuang asked in amazement, “Big Brother Mu, how come you’re so sure about this?”
Theoretically, Shang Huijue wouldn’t let anyone know about this.
Mu Lianqi sighed. “Because I was one of them. You’re about to ask me why I didn’t perish, right? I did perish, but I obtained a drop of lotus liquid from the Green Lotus of Creation. At the time, the Green Lotus of Creation had been blasted into pieces in front of my eyes and a drop of Lotus Liquid had landed on my body. There are not many things that can dispel the Lawless Falling Dao, yet the liquid of the Green Lotus of Creation is one of them. Because of that, I knew that Shang Huijue had a Star-Covering Umbrella.”
After he said that, Mu Lianqi laughed self-derisively. “The two of you should know why Shang Huijue failed, right? Although he’s strong and clever, he doesn’t know he could only connect with the Reincarnation Dao Runes if a formed spirit plant perished in the spirit plant world and the Reincarnation Realm appeared. I may even be the only formed spirit plant in the Lost Dao World. I wasn’t killed by the poison. Instead, I managed to escape.”
Ling Xiaoshuang finally understood and said in horror, “Big Brother Mu, you mean…”
Before Ling Xiaoshuang could finish her sentence, Mu Lianqi nodded his head. “Yes. Ah Jiu, after I perish, bring my physical body back to the Five-Element World. I will still be able to be reincarnated in the future.”
