Ninth In the World

Chapter 873 - Entering the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone



Di Jiu hurried back to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone in a short time.

Although Dao Lord Po Xu and Lightning were not present, the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone was still bustling.

“Brother Di, you’re finally back.” When Di Jiu returned, Jing Xihua was the first to welcome him. In fact, since Lightning had been captured and Dao Lord Po Xu had entered the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, Jing Xihua had been the only one helping with the Mountain Gaze Restaurant. After Jing Xihua had recovered from his injuries, he had not been a weakling anymore. Thus, he could provide sufficient help there.

Di Jiu patted Jing Xihua’s shoulder. “Thank you for your help. I’m going to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone to look for Lightning. While I’m not around, help me look after the Mountain Gaze Restaurant. Thank you.”

After he finished saying that, before Jing Xihua could answer, Di Jiu rushed into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone with a flash of his figure.

Jing Xihua opened his mouth but could only sigh, looking somewhat helpless.

If Di Jiu had been willing to speak to him, he was sure he could have persuaded Di Jiu not to go into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Even if he wanted to go in, now was not the time for that.

In Jing Xihua’s opinion, Dao Lord Po Xu should not be weaker than Di Jiu. However, it had been almost two years since Dao Lord Po had entered the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone and there had been no news of him. Without needing to think, he knew that Dao Lord Po Xu’s chances were grim. In other words, even if Dao Lord Po Xu was fine, he was still trapped in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, unable to come out. If even Dao Lord Po Xu was trapped, it would be strange if Di Jiu was fine after entering that place.

If the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone had been a truly simple place, he would not have risked revealing the five-element Chaos Qi by staying in the Mountain Gaze Restaurant. Instead, he would have escaped into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

...

As soon as Di Jiu entered the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, his Spiritual Force couldn’t scan the road. Regardless of how well he remembered his position, it seemed that one could only enter the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, not get out.

Di Jiu didn’t care about this at all. He had seen a place like the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone before. Not only had he gone there before, but he had gone there more than once or twice. Had it been easy to get out of the Land of Seven Chakras, the Lost Dao World, or the River and Mountain Kettle? Hadn’t he already gotten out, though? The River and Mountain Kettle had now become his Dharma treasure.

Di Jiu was more concerned that the law in this place was too chaotic. He was worried that Lightning would be torn apart by this shattered, chaotic law.

Besides Lightning, even Dao Lord Po Xu might not have it easy. However, he was the only exception. After all, he cultivated the Nomological Dao. No matter how chaotic and shattered the Heaven Earth Law was, it could not affect him much. At the very most, it could tear apart his physical body. Most importantly, his current body had surpassed a Sacred Body. Even if he didn’t circulate a cultivation technique, the chaotic law there couldn’t tear his physical body.

Due to the overly-chaotic law, even Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force could only be limited to a certain range. Fortunately, Di Jiu had the Dao eye. Since his Spiritual Force had been restricted, his Dao eye could still see thousands of kilometers around him.

In this place, Di Jiu saw and felt all the remnants of killing. Many massacring Dao runes that had participated and been through many years blasted Di Jiu, creating bloodstains on him.

Even though these bloodstains disappeared in an instant, this still made one feel how terrifying the massacre had been.

At an extremely fast speed, Di Jiu rushed forward thousands of kilometers in a short time.

Thousands of kilometers were nothing to a Primordial Chaos cultivator. That was within the scope of the Spiritual Force, and it could even be considered a few steps away. However, this was the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, where thousands of kilometers were considered far away.

In the Lost Dao World, Di Jiu had seen many Dharma treasure fragments that were considered nothing compared to those.

The level of the Dharma treasure fragments here wasn’t better, but these Dharma treasure fragments clearly had not been mottled over time. Many of them looked as if they had just been shattered, and most of them still had their owner’s obsession with massacres. Once slightly weaker cultivators accidentally picked up these Dharma treasure fragments, their physical bodies and souls might very likely be torn by the remnant massacring Dao runes.

After walking there for less than a day, Di Jiu believed what Dao Lord Po Xu had said. There was an aura in there that did not exist outside. This was because this aura surpassed the law of the Spiritual World and carried an extreme vastness of the universe.

However, this aura was simply too weak and was basically not very useful to Di Jiu. He suspected that this was the Creation Aura that Dao Lord Po Xu had mentioned.

The Creation Aura aside, Di Jiu felt that the other thing Dao Lord Po Xu had mentioned was right. Di Jiu had seen many remnant souls there. Clearly, after these remnant souls had perished and obtained the Creation Aura, they had condensed once again.

Due to the weakening Creation Aura in this place, many remnant souls could only be condensed to half of the extent.

Because some remnant souls had perished long ago, they could not be completely restored, even if they had been moisturized by the Creation Aura. Although they still had some wisdom, they had lost their original memories. Anyone who could join the Creation War was not ordinary, so most of the remnant souls retained their memories.

Some of the remnant souls with retained memories looked at Di Jiu in amazement. From the end of the Creation War to the formation of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, there had been no more than one or two foreign cultivators there. They had never seen someone like Di Jiu scuttling in a place with chaotic law while his physical body didn’t seem to be affected.

After searching for three days, apart from the remnant souls, Di Jiu did not see a cultivator with a complete physical body. On the fourth day, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He stopped a remnant soul with a well-restored soul.

Even though remnant souls used to be exceptional experts, they did not dare be rash when facing an expert like Di Jiu.

“A few acquaintances of mine came in. Wait for me to sketch a void portrait for you to see. Oh, that’s right. There’s also a bird with a lightning bolt on its head. Have you seen it?” While Di Jiu said that, he drew Dao Lord Po Xu, Weng Xing, and Lightning.

Di Jiu’s actions shocked the remnant soul. Even though the experts of the Creation War could be in a place with chaotic and shattered law, not many of them could casually sketch out void portraits.

“Senior, I’m only left with a soul that was restored with the help of the Creation Qi. I wouldn’t dare go far away from here, so I really haven’t seen the people you mentioned.” Even though the remnant soul knew that he was much older than Di Jiu, he did not dare address him as Daoist Di Jiu. Thus, he could only address him as Senior Di Jiu.

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. When he was about to continue looking for a second remnant soul to ask questions, a weak voice was heard. “Daoist, I’ve seen one of them.”

Di Jiu’s gaze immediately fell on a weak soul next to him. It was a woman whose soul was poorly restored. Therefore, this soul did not seem as good as some shadows in the Land of Seven Chakras.

“Who have you seen?” Di Jiu asked in amazement, as he had yet to see even one of them.

The woman’s shadow seemed to become weaker again. Without hesitation, Di Jiu took out several Dao pills and crushed them before he took out a few drops of First Evolution True Dew to sprinkle the shadow.

The shadow instantly became solid and even took an embryonic form.

Overjoyed, the shadow said excitedly, “Thank you, Daoist. My name is Chu Manhe. If I am able to recover my physical body in the future, I will definitely repay the favor you did me today.”

Di Jiu gestured with his hand and said, “This is nothing. It is something that is within my power. Tell me who you saw.”
