Regardless of whether this was true, since Di Jiu arrived on this black path, he wanted to give it a try.

According to his original plan, if anybody stopped him, he would forcibly go down this path and wait until he reached Dao Integration. Even if this path did not lead to the Mountain Gaze, he had no other choice.

What Di Jiu found strange was that after he went down this path, no one stopped him at all.

In half an hour, he discovered that those spiderweb-like stone paths and the dense cultivator cave abodes of the Dao Abyss behind him had been left behind.

A day later, Di Jiu saw the first cultivator. This cultivator was not surprised to see Di Jiu coming yet he still took steps cautiously.

Nothing stopped him, which puzzled Di Jiu. The cultivator in front of him seemed to be walking on a mountain of sabers and taking each step cautiously.

When Di Jiu was about to speed up his pace, a powerful force blasted over. That force gave no warning signs and happened to hit Di Jiu’s chest.

As a bam was heard, Di Jiu felt as if a huge metal hammer had blasted him, sending him flying with that force.

Di Jiu paused and almost spurted out blood. Without his powerful body, he would have been torn apart.

The cultivator before Di Jiu had long hair. Besides his eyes looking as if he had been through a lot, he seemed like he had been a nomad merchant for a long time. After hearing the blast that hit Di Jiu, he stopped. He looked at Di Jiu with a grin and chuckled before he continued moving forward.

The path ahead was indeed weird. Di Jiu sped up toward the side of the cultivator in front of him and asked with cupped fists, “Senior, does this path lead to the Mountain Gaze?”

The long-haired cultivator in front of Di Jiu stopped and sized him up before he chuckled. “If it doesn’t lead to the Mountain Gaze, what are you doing here?”

Overjoyed, Di Jiu said subconsciously, “Then all the cultivators of the Dao Abyss know that this path leads to the Mountain Gaze?”

The long-haired cultivator glanced at Di Jiu disdainfully, “Don’t tell me there’s someone who doesn’t know that this path leads to the Mountain Gaze? You’re new here, right? If you know, then who doesn’t?”

Di Jiu was stunned. It turned out that what Chu Manhe had understood in a flash applied to the people of the Dao Abyss as well. What other reasons did they have for heading to the Mountain Gaze? Obviously, in addition to seeking the third step, they wanted to seek the strongest Dao direction.

“Is Senior ready to reach the third step?” Di Jiu saw that the other party’s cultivation level should be in the late-stage Dao Integration.

The long-haired cultivator looked at Di Jiu in admiration. “Not bad. You are only in the Primordial Chaos Realm, but you can see my cultivation level. You are right, I’m here to mingle and see whether I can reach the third step in the Mountain Gaze with a small chance. If you, a Primordial Chaos expert, have come here to see if you can reach the Dao Integration in the Mountain Gaze, then a Dao Integration expert like me can want something too.”

Di Jiu sighed, wondering if Chu Manhe would understand the secret of the Mountain Gaze once she reached the Dao Abyss. How could the cultivators in the Dao Abyss, who had been alive for countless years, not understand that the Mountain Gaze was the direction of the Dao?

“Senior, why are you walking so slowly?” Although Di Jiu saw that he had easily walked past the long-haired man, the long-haired cultivator kept walking slowly.

He then replied disdainfully, “You just avoided a calamity. You were lucky that you did not encounter a stronger Dao hammer. In addition to the Dao hammer on the path to the Mountain Gaze, there is Dao thunder and a Dao saber… Any Dao divine power that you can think of is formed connately on this path. I came in late, so even if I walk this path, it has been more than a year. You walk fast, but once you are blasted out, you’ll have to wait a million years before you can come in again.”

Only then did Di Jiu realize that the natural Dao divine power had blasted him. However, how could a genius reach the Mountain Gaze at the tortoise-like speed of this long-haired cultivator?

“Young man, cultivating to the Primordial Chaos Realm at a young age is not bad. Let me see your ring. If there is something suitable inside, I’ll teach you the method to avoid being blasted by the Dao divine power.”

The long-haired cultivator looked at the ring in Di Jiu’s hand as his eyes lit up.

Initially, Di Jiu had been quite respectful of the Dao Integration cultivator. However, his respect for him disappeared immediately when this guy asked to see his ring. “If you want to see my ring, come and grab it yourself. I’m not impressed by your tortoise-like speed. Goodbye.”

After finishing this sentence, Di Jiu did not hesitate to walk away from the long-haired cultivator and go far away quickly. By the time the long-haired cultivator responded, Di Jiu’s figure had disappeared from his Spiritual Force.

“What a punk.” The long-haired cultivator snorted but didn’t care. Di Jiu would be blasted out in less than one hour judging by his walking method. He would not be qualified to come back to this path in a million years.

Di Jiu was too fast. After passing the long-haired cultivator, he saw more and more cultivators along the way. He then got a little worried. After so many years, someone might have gone up the Mountain Gaze or even reached the Mountain Gaze Peak.

If he hurried over now, would he still have a chance to be the first to reach the Mountain Gaze Peak?

Swish! As he had that thought, a saber flare approached and tore his domain all of a sudden. Di Jiu’s domain barrier was like a decoration torn apart directly by the saber flare.

“Pfft!” Blood spewed out of Di Jiu’s waist while he paused suddenly. After all, this had nearly cut him up.

He quickly grabbed several Dao pills to swallow them and performed the Nomological Qi Circulation to recuperate.

Silent yet so powerful! Di Jiu was horrified. He had fought against many experts, but their divine power would strike with a warning sign. In other words, regardless of what kind of divine power it was, they would have to perform it through the change of the Heaven Earth Law and integrate all kinds of laws to strengthen their divine power.

Di Jiu himself cultivated the Nomological Dao. When that saber move had blasted him just now, he had sensed how terrifying that divine power was. Was the natural Dao divine power so formidable? Furthermore, when it had blasted his chest like a metal hammer, he hadn’t sensed it until it had hit him.

Di Jiu suddenly realized that these divine powers were different from those he had encountered before. He could not find any traces of orders in this divine power. Could this be a divine power without an order?

As he had that thought, Di Jiu immediately rejected it. He had never believed that there were divine powers without an order in the universe, as any divine power was built by an order. Without the order, there was no divine power. However, since there was an order, why couldn’t he sense it?

“Not bad. You walk really fast, yet you were not killed by that saber move just now. You really are lucky.” A gray-haired man Di Jiu had just surpassed had already caught up with him.

Di Jiu greeted him with cupped fists, still wondering why he hadn’t sensed any order in that saber divine power. Did that saber divine power have no order whatsoever, or was this a kind of order he had yet to come into contact with? Theoretically, it was unlikely that he had not come into contact with the order. He cultivated the Nomological Dao. Even if he had yet to come into contact with this order, he would still form a new concept of order when he encountered it for the first time. As for the absence of order, Di Jiu did not believe it could be true. He cultivated the Nomological Dao. Everything in the universe was composed of laws, and all laws were built by orders. Hence, it was impossible that there was no order.

“You should take it slow. This trip is not easy. If you’re still so fast later, I’m afraid you won’t be blasted out. You will really be killed.” The grey-haired cultivator shook his head and tried to persuade Di Jiu.

Di Jiu said with a sigh, “I have no choice considering that I came here late. Too many people might have climbed up the Mountain Gaze. They might even have gone over to the peak as well.”

The gray-haired man sneered. “You said that people might have climbed up the Mountain Gaze, and I won’t refute that. However, the Mountain Gaze Peak… He he… Who can climb up there?”

Upon hearing that, Di Jiu felt spirited. He did not want to climb up the Mountain Gaze but to the peak of it.

At this thought, he even disregarded his injuries. He cupped his fists before the gray-haired cultivator and said, “Daoist, please take care. I’ll leave first.”

Then, Di Jiu hastily walked away again.

Regardless of whether this was true, since Di Jiu arrived on this black path, he wanted to give it a try.

According to his original plan, if anybody stopped him, he would forcibly go down this path and wait until he reached Dao Integration. Even if this path did not lead to the Mountain Gaze, he had no other choice.

At this thought, he even disregarded his injuries. He cupped his fists before the gray-haired cultivator and said, “Daoist, please take care. I’ll leave first.”

Then, Di Jiu hastily walked away again.
