Weng Xing was extremely fast, seemingly crossing thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye. However, he froze after using the escape technique divine power for the first time because his Spiritual Force had seen Di Jiu, who was ahead of him.

This kind of escape technique couldn’t be called an escape technique. It could instead be considered void teleportation.

Without thinking, Weng Xing activated the escape talisman on his wrist. A moment later, he disappeared again. He was sure that as long as he hesitated, he would be done for.

Before Di Jiu could lock down Weng Xing, he knew that Weng Xing had escaped. However, even though Weng Xing had used the escape talisman, he could not escape from his nomological escape technique.

Weng Xing’s escape talisman was indeed formidable. Di Jiu even suspected that if this escape talisman was a bit further away, he would not be able to sense the saber scar imprint of the Heavenly Aqua Saber.

Di Jiu put the nomological escape technique to full use. Even though he could sense his saber scar imprint a little clearer each time, he still sensed that the distance was too long.

At that moment, Weng Xing stopped, as he had only one escape talisman. Di Jiu’s escape technique terrified him. He had never seen such a terrifying escape technique. If he hadn’t used the escape talisman, regardless of how far he managed to escape, Di Jiu gave him the feeling that his escape technique would still land in front of him easily.

Despite wasting one escape talisman, Weng Xing did not regret it. Not only was Di Jiu’s escape technique terrifying, but he also had the power to kill him. If he wanted to crush Di Jiu, he would have to reach the third step.

Before he reached the third step, he needed to remove Di Jiu’s saber aura Dao runes from his wound. Otherwise, even if he had 100 escape talismans, he was afraid he would not be able to escape from Di Jiu.

Weng Xing raised his hand to set up hundreds of array flags. After setting up a simple Defense Array, he immediately started to refine the Dao rune traces of the saber aura on his wound.

A couple of months later, Weng Xing felt somewhat troubled. The saber move that Di Jiu had struck the area between his eyebrows with was too powerful. It would not be possible to completely remove the Dao rune traces of the saber aura without spending hundreds of years. In hundreds of years, Di Jiu could find him hundreds of times.

At this thought, Weng Xing stared at the distant void in horror. A moment later, he turned pale. Without thinking, he turned to rush into a broken array door.

At the same time, Di Jiu landed where Weng Xing recuperated.

He did not continue to chase him. A few bloody words were written outside the broken array door: Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

In the periphery of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone were broken walls and some abandoned streets.

Di Jiu walked over and bent down to pick up a somewhat mottled signboard with four words written on it. Although there were only faint traces that had been mottled over the years, Di Jiu still recognized these four words: Mountain Gaze Forbidden Restaurant.

Di Jiu frowned. By looking at the restaurant signboard in his hand, he seemed to feel the former liveliness and prosperity of this place.

It had only been broken and mottled by vicissitudes that had gradually passed with time. Di Jiu shifted his focus from the signboard in his hand to the broken array door, which he had seen Weng Xing walk through.

Outside the broken array door was the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, which showed that this was not a good place. Although Weng Xing had yet to reach the third step, his strength was definitely extraordinary. Such a person would rather recuperate outside than enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, which showed that this forbidden zone was really not simple.

It was conceivable that if he had not chased him so closely, Weng Xing would have immediately left this place after fully recuperating instead of entering the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

Di Jiu hesitated for a while before he began to set up a Confinement Array outside the Defense Array of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. He didn’t know what was inside the forbidden zone, but he couldn’t enter right now because he knew nothing about this zone. He had to do two things: save Xiuqi and deduce the Heaven-Opening Mantra’s divine power.

Since he could not reach Dao Integration within a short time, he had to improve his strength through other means. He now had the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush. What could be faster than the Heaven-Opening Mantra at improving his strength?

He had only one purpose in setting up the Confinement Array, and that was not to let Weng Xing escape from the forbidden zone while he was not paying attention. Di Jiu believed that it would not be easy to come out after entering the forbidden zone, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

After he was done setting up the Confinement Array, Di Jiu took out his refined supreme-grade cave abode, which turned into a huge shield, blocking the broken array door of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

After doing this, Di Jiu hesitated for a while. He was too lazy to make a cave abode signboard, so he repaired the broken Mountain Gaze Restaurant signboard and hung it outside his cave abode.

He then had Lightning guard his cave abode. Once a cultivator who knew about the Mountain Gaze Restaurant came, he would make Lightning receive him immediately.

The cultivators who knew about the Mountain Gaze Restaurant talked about its origins and why this place was called the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

When Di Jiu entered the depths of his cave abode to rescue Xiuqi, Lightning was very satisfied. It was now a level-nine divine beast. If an ordinary cultivator came, it would just have to slap him to death. Plus, it could be a boss at the Mountain Gaze Restaurant. It could allow guests to come in and have a drink or get lost if it wished, which was much more fun than staying in the Ninth World.

The Ninth World was a good place to cultivate, but it was unfortunately too lonely and boring all day. After all, it could not find someone to talk to, let alone experience something interesting.

After entering the depths of the cave abode, Di Jiu immediately arrived in his Ninth World. Xiuqi’s soul had been burned. Even though he had found her in time and even used the Quintessential Essence of the Universe to preserve her life-force condensation, her soul still could not be restored.

Now that he had obtained a Two-Realm Fruit, he did not dare use it as he wished. If someone disturbed him while he was saving Xiuqi, it would not help even if he killed that person.

Di Jiu carefully placed the Two-Realm Fruit in Xiuqi’s mouth before it turned into an endless light Dao rune aura that nourished Nong Xiuqi’s broken soul and body.

Di Jiu stared nervously at Nong Xiuqi and soon got excited. He could clearly sense that Nong Xiuqi’s soul was condensing and growing. Although this growth was slow, there was no stagnation.

When the Dao rune aura of the Two-Realm Fruit did not disperse, Di Jiu was somewhat glad that he had obtained the Two-Realm Fruit. The Two-Realm Flower might not necessarily have saved Xiuqi.

Di Jiu reckoned that it should take a very long time for Xiuqi to recover. If it had not been too urgent, he would rather have watched her recover there.

However, Di Jiu knew he did not have the time now. Xiuqi was in the Ninth World. As long as Di Jiu was alive, she would be fine.

After leaving the Ninth World, Di Jiu immediately took out the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush he had stripped off all its chaotic Dao runes. Right now, he just had to continue refining it.

As time went by, Di Jiu was refining the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush in the cave abode, Xiuqi was restoring her soul in the Ninth World, and Lightning was guarding the Mountain Gaze Restaurant.

In the beginning, Lightning still felt very fresh. However, a month later, it was bored.

There was nobody there whatsoever. Previously, he had been prepared to take out the Starry Sky Tea and top-notch Dao wine. However, since there were no guests, why would he need those things?

One day, Lightning, who was bored to death, was sitting by the entrance. It looked as dejected as though it was awaiting its death. Then, a husky voice suddenly woke it up. “May I ask if you’re the boss here?”

Weng Xing was extremely fast, seemingly crossing thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye. However, he froze after using the escape technique divine power for the first time because his Spiritual Force had seen Di Jiu, who was ahead of him.
