Ninth In the World-Chapter 874 - The Mountain Gaze Dao Abyss

Chapter 874: The Mountain Gaze Dao Abyss

Pointing at the image of a person with disheveled hair, Chu Manhe said, “It’s this person. He hurriedly fled into the Mountain Gaze Dao Abyss.”

“What kind of place is that?” Di Jiu asked casually. This was his first visit to the Mountain Gaze, let alone to the Mountain Gaze Dao Abyss. The person Chu Manhe had pointed at was Weng Xing, the person he wanted to kill.

Pointing in the distance, Chu Manhe answered, “Before the second Creation War started, the Mountain Gaze appeared. The Dao Abyss is a Creation Dao Abyss under the Mountain Gaze, where Dao runes surge. Any cultivator who enters that place will obtain a very good chance. Even if they don’t, their soul and physical body will be cleansed by the pure Dao runes inside. After the Creation War, although the Dao runes in the Dao Abyss dissipated, that place stayed where it was before.”

“Do you know about the Dao Abyss?” Di Jiu knew that although his Dao eye could see much further than an ordinary cultivator, this was his first time here. Without Chu Manhe leading the way, he was afraid that he would have to spend more time. In his opinion, the sooner he found Lightning, the better.

“I am willing to go with you,” Chu Manhe said without hesitation.

Di Jiu nodded, admiring Chu Manhe’s straightforwardness. “My name is Di Jiu. Tell me, what do you need me to help you with?”

Chu Manhe suddenly stood up to answer his question. Obviously, she had a request. If it was within his power, Di Jiu wouldn’t mind helping Chu Manhe.

Chu Manhe’s voice was a little excited. “Daoist Di, I need the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus…”

Di Jiu looked at Chu Manhe helplessly. Naturally, he knew why Chu Manhe needed the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus. He also needed that, but he had to obtain it first.

“Daoist Chu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you or that the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus’ value is too high. I just really can’t help you. This thing is now extinct. I also need a pair of Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotuses to save my friend, but after so many years, I’ve never heard of anyone who still has a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus or knows where it appears. Plus, even if I find a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus, I will save my friend first.”

Chu Manhe seemed to try her best to calm her excitement, but she still couldn’t restrain herself completely. She tried to slow down her tone as much as possible. “Daoist Di, I know a place with a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus, and there is more than one…”

Before Chu Manhe could finish her speech, Di Jiu, who was overjoyed, looked at her excitedly. “Daoist Chu, do you really know where a Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus is? Tell me. As long as there are two Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotuses, I’ll give one to you.”

Chu Manhe took a breath. “Daoist Di, that place is the Dao Abyss. I am sure the people you are looking for, except for the guy with the disheveled hair, have also gone to the Dao Abyss. The Dao Abyss is actually a place in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone where many cultivators live…”

Di Jiu muttered to himself. “Wouldn’t this be another Lost Dao World?”

Chu Manhe didn’t know what the Lost Dao World was but she continued to speak. “In fact, there are very few people in the Dao Abyss who can leave. They neither can leave nor dare to leave. They know that the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone is the best place for cultivation and the Dao Abyss is the best place to improve their strength. Many parts of the Dao Abyss are occupied by people. Once someone leaves, their place will be occupied by someone else right away. Of course, this is what I’ve heard. I’m not sure if they can really leave.”

Di Jiu nodded. If this was really the case, the Dao Abyss and the Lost Dao World were a bit different. At the very least, some of the people there were not helpless and were instead improving their strength.

Chu Manhe added, “The cultivator with the Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus is called Yi Ji and is rumored to be an extremely powerful master. If it was not for the Creation Dao Runes, he would have been killed by Dao Lord Ye. The Creation Dao Runes born after the formation of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone saved him. After his soul acquired its own consciousness, he immediately obtained countless treasures of the universe easily and restored his physical body.”

Di Jiu’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. He recalled where Xiu Qi was hiding. That was a cultivator’s own world. The reason Xiuqi had been able to open her own world at the first step was because she cultivated the Nomological Dao and had ignited her own soul. Of course, Di Jiu speculated that Xiuqi should also be lucky.

However, most of the perished cultivators there were true third-step experts. In that case, they had naturally opened up their own worlds. One could imagine how many years a third-step cultivator had gone through. Nobody would believe that they didn’t have any treasures. As long as the cultivators who had perished there regained their wisdom, they could open their own worlds and regain their strength.

Only they could enter their own worlds. Others could kill them, but they couldn’t steal their things.

If the Dao Abyss had such an expert, was a perfected Primordial Chaos expert like him courting death by going there?

Chu Manhe, who seemed to be figuring out Di Jiu’s thoughts, said, “There is an unspoken rule in the Dao Abyss. Each expert there has their own secrets. Thus, everyone abides by one rule: You can’t just massacre cultivators to snatch their things. Once you break this rule, the Dao Abyss will no longer be a paradise where those strong experts can cultivate. Daoist Di, if you have enough treasures, after you arrive in the Dao Abyss, you can exchange something for Yi Ji’s Soul-Gathering Immortal Lotus.”

Chu Manhe only had half a Principal Spirit, so she could not see that Di Jiu’s actual cultivation level was only in the Primordial Chaos Realm. In her opinion, since Di Jiu was aggressively looking for those people, his cultivation level would definitely not be too weak. At the very least, he would be at the third step. The guy with the disheveled hair had been able to run away in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, so his cultivation level was absolutely not simple. If she had known that Di Jiu was only in the Primordial Chaos Realm, she probably would not have persuaded him to go there.

Upon hearing about the rule of the Dao Abyss, Di Jiu said without hesitation, “Alright, let’s go there.”

…

While she was enveloped by the Dao runes of Di Jiu’s escape technique, Chu Manhe was shocked by his speed. She was sure that she had never seen someone faster than him to this day.

The fastest person she had met was the third-step expert of the Wing Clan. She was sure that even the third-step experts of the Wing Clan might not necessarily be faster than Di Jiu. Di Jiu’s speed couldn’t be called speed, but rather deliberate teleportation.

Just a few days later, Di Jiu stopped. An infinite abyss that could not be touched by his Spiritual Force and Dao eye appeared before him. Standing at the edge of the abyss, Di Jiu could only sense the endless white mist lingering around. In this place, Di Jiu actually sensed that the laws were complete, without any fragmentation or chaos. Plus, in the depths of the white mist, there were also traces of a Heaven Earth Aura that surpassed that of the Spiritual World.

It was no wonder that those experts did not want to leave this place, which was indeed the best place for cultivation. Di Jiu was sure that Lightning was inside, as he could sense its breath.

“I want to go in and take a look. Wait for me here. After I get that thing, I will definitely come find you,” Di Jiu told Chu Manhe after turning around.

Chu Manhe responded without hesitation, “No, I’ll go in with you.”

Di Jiu looked at Chu Manhe. “I’ll go in. If something happens, I can escape at any time. However, if something happens to you, I’m afraid you will only perish inside.”

Chu Manhe shook her head. “If that is really the case, then it must be my fate. I should have perished during the Creation War in the past. I’ve earned this by restoring part of my soul with the Creation Aura. So what if I die?”

“Not bad. You’re open-minded. In that case, let’s go in together.” Di Jiu admired Chu Manhe very much. After Chu Manhe said that she was not afraid of death, he no longer hesitated and swept her up before stepping into the white mist lingering in the Dao Abyss.
