Chapter 962 898: Turmoil in the Central Continent

Jiu You and Wujiu felt as if they had been gifted from the heavens; now the entire Central Continent was under their control.

And amazingly, there are three thousand rules scattered across Central Continent.

If this isn't a divine gift, what is?

Wujiu seemed eager to move, and as long as Yama Hall didn't stop him, could he also gain such power?

Only Jiu You could still maintain his rationality, suppressing his desires, and cautiously glanced at the First Hall.

This person had just manipulated Four Extremes Hall with a fleeting word and rules; could these three thousand rules be a trap?

He didn't want to fall into such a large pit for no reason.

So, Jiu You bowed deeply with a humble posture, saying, "What do you need us to do, my lord?"

He turned proactive into passive, giving full respect to the First Hall and showing a bit of loyalty.

Yin Wan smiled charmingly as he looked at him, nodded slightly, and then took a few steps forward, placing a hand on Jiu You's, and his voice slowly rose by Jiu You's ear.

"I need you to take people and search extensively for these three thousand rules in Central Continent."

Jiu You was slightly startled; isn't this the same thing?

"Just do as I say."

Yin Wan didn't give him the chance to resolve his confusion, speaking with mystery before slowly returning to the Dao Palace.

After the person left, Wujiu gently leaned over, speaking in a puzzled whisper, "Why did you ask such an unnecessary question?"

Unnecessary question?

Jiu You cast an odd glance at him and answered in a low voice, "I don't want to be tricked to death."

The First Hall disclosed matters so generously that if there wasn't a trap inside, he wouldn't believe it, even if beaten to death.

"Then what should we do?"

It seemed Wujiu had only just woken up, as the irresistible allure of rules had overwhelmed him, now feeling a chill after being enlightened, he asked hesitantly.

"Just do it."

Jiu You swiftly spoke, not thinking at all, knowing that if the First Hall arranged this way, it must have a purpose; at this point, they both had no choice but to cooperate.

As for the rules?

"I suspect they're not so easy to obtain, possibly extremely dangerous."

Jiu You suddenly sighed.

Soon, the entire Western Territory buzzed with overwhelming activity, countless cultivators spread out in all directions, like shooting stars streaking toward every corner of Central Continent.

Not just the Western Territory, but overseas, under the command of Four Extremes Hall, scores of cultivators were also rushing towards Central Continent.

In an instant, Central Continent once again became turbulent.

...

The Endless Sea Domain was similarly becoming chaotic.

But it was under Han Yu's blade!

The West River Slash twisted a distance instantly where it struck, meaning that desolate aura filled the space, becoming an instant dead zone, with the sky and sea eerily quiet.

Observers could not help but look on in horror, although there was not much commotion, the effect was terrifying to the extreme.

"How can one break this?"

Mu Zili was similarly moved, immediately asking his master.

"Quite simple."

The old man spoke coolly, drawing countless gazes, all curious about how one could respond to such an exaggerated strike… oh no, rule.

As they waited, the old man finally spat out a few words, "Just run."

Upon hearing, the group was almost laughing with bemusement, felt the old man's words were nonsense, yet upon contemplating, they couldn't laugh.

It seemed the old man wasn't wrong, facing such a strike, unable to resist, indeed there was only one option left—run.

In an instant, the scene was eerily quiet as they nervously sucked in cold breaths.

Only one inappropriate sound of a loud burp rang out at this time, causing a bunch of people to turn around, looking at the Artifact Spirit, which was clutching its mouth awkwardly.

The sound naturally came from it, and at this moment, the Artifact Spirit had a face full of disbelief, who knew why a Spirit Body could feel full, and yet had a full burp.

Is this something it should have?

The crowd was equally puzzled, surprised not by the Artifact Spirit's burp but by seeing a Spirit Body full of vitality at this moment.

No mistake, the Artifact Spirit's Spirit Body exuded intense vitality, like a rejuvenating Spirit Medicine, and its petite size—a testament that if one were told it had become an essence from a ginseng, they would believe.

A group was deeply shocked, but only Han Yu sighed; the wise elder had mentioned it before, though the West River Slash was more effective than the Artifact Spirit's use, ultimately the rule's master wasn't him.

The most absurd part was, what it seized belonged to it, and he was responsible for compensating others, which was indeed vexing.

If it weren't for wanting to replace the Artifact Spirit's master, Han Yu wouldn't want to use this broken blade.

This test of the blade indeed showcased the rule's power multiplied immensely, no longer confined to form, one single strike was impossible to defend against.

Without the opponent having rule power for protection, surely it must turn tail and flee before him.

And the Artifact Spirit gaining what was seized confirmed it, therefore, as long as many are cut, the Artifact Spirit could rapidly grow?

The Artifact Spirit clearly anticipated this, running over excitedly, eagerly promoting, "Let's go find people on both sides to slice! I'll bring us, you bring the Earth and Wood Pill."

Goodness, look at this setup; it seems they intend to completely annihilate the Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect.

But Han Yu didn't dare to play with fire any longer. There's truth in what the wise elder once said: you can't always escape from the hands of a Celestial Being.

However, just because he didn't want trouble doesn't mean it wouldn't come to him.

Once they returned to the deck from the sea, Mu Zili's prior arrangements for monitoring took effect.

As everyone came back, a flock of messenger mechanism birds flew onto the deck.

Once everyone hurriedly opened them up, the messages were startlingly consistent.

Mu Zili received quite a few as well, and the contents were largely similar, all reporting unusual movements across the Central Continent.

It wasn't just the Yama Hall; the Celestial Dao Sect was involved as well.

Both sects' cultivators seemed to be searching for something in Central Continent, and the commotion was significant.

"Both sides are looking for something, could it be they're searching for the Heavenly Dao?"

Mu Zili speculated grimly, thinking nothing could be worth such a struggle between the two factions other than this.

The situation had developed to the point that everything was crystal clear, and it wouldn't take long before the Celestial Beings of both sides personally intervened.

Mu Zili immediately wanted to verify something, and with a glance at Hun Bugui and Shi Xiu, he suddenly had an idea.

"Can you help with something?"

Hun Bugui's first instinct was that it wouldn't be good, and habitually wanted to dodge the question with a laugh.

He didn't want to become cannon fodder.

Mu Zili of course saw through his thoughts and spoke straightforwardly, "I'll have someone accompany you, you can rest assured, I'm not asking you to be cannon fodder."

Having said that, he called out Xia Wuyou and several other sect leaders before speaking slowly.

"Their betrayal hasn't been exposed yet; let them infiltrate among those cultivators, they should be able to gather some information."

Much like Quan Xiaotong, upon suspecting something, he wanted to find a way to verify it.

Hun Bugui was still unsure, Mu Zili sighed seeing this, and couldn't help but say, "You have to understand, we're in this together now. If you truly wish to integrate here, the first thing is to trust us."

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

Before Hun Bugui could agree, Shi Xiu had already nodded, and with his agreement, Hun Bugui's expression turned bitter.

For nothing else, Shi Xiu truly was tied to him; if something happened to Shi Xiu, he wouldn't survive either.

It must be said that under the Shared Death Pill, Hun Bugui was the person who cared most about Shi Xiu, without exception.

Hun Bugui even dared to vow that no one would care more about Shi Xiu than he did in this lifetime.

That damned pill.

The group stifled their laughter watching Hun Bugui, inexplicably wanting to laugh, seemingly reminded of the pill's effects.

After the two left, Quan Xiaotong also began arranging manpower.

The vortex on Central Continent was something they couldn't avoid; the matter of the Heavenly Dao was directly tied to their survival, and they had to get involved regardless.

Even if their strength was weak, it could still be of some use.

"The first batch of disciples has been completed."

Quan Xiaotong said, and as he spoke, a hundred mechanical Dharma Aspects collectively flew out from the sea.

One of them broke away from the formation and flew onto the deck, opening to reveal a figure inside.

Ye Hei appeared calmer than before, with a demeanor somewhat similar to Mu Zili's.

Though he wasn't the most talented of the younger generation, he was certainly the most trusted among them... except Han Yu.

After all, the people of Central Continent never regarded Han Yu as part of the younger generation from the start to finish.

Besides Ye Hei, Ou Mingdong, Su Wanjun, Huangfu Liang, and You Li, many familiar faces to Han Yu landed on the deck one by one as the Dharma Aspects opened.

There was one evasive fellow who never showed up, hiding within one of the Dharma Aspects; Han Yu immediately recognized him.

Bai Xiangdong!

The reason for recognition was the peculiar Dharma Aspect posing as White Crane Spreads Wings.

There was no one else who would do such a thing; it had to be Bai Xiangdong.

In addition to these people, there were some unfamiliar faces to Han Yu, who, if accompanying Ye Hei and the others, were likely geniuses from various sects in Central Continent.

These individuals each had an aura in the Initial Realm of the Spirit Platform, weak though it was, each one's aura surged to the Walking the Dao standard upon entering the Dharma Aspect.

Had Mo Xiuwen's craftsmanship reached such a terrifying level?

Only after seeing such a group did Han Yu truly understand why Quan Xiaotong regarded Mo Xiuwen as a treasure.

This was indeed a more convenient path than relying solely on his pills.

Given enough time, Mo Xiuwen might develop Central Continent's foundational strength enough to intimidate the other two factions.

Mu Zili was clearly pleased with this arrangement; these hundred or so geniuses were incomparable to the inferior Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect.

Although their foundations were unstable, as long as the power of the mechanism Dharma Aspect was sufficient, it could completely compensate for this.

Such a team would have no problem operating in Central Continent unless they encountered someone like Di Liuxin.

"Set off!"

With Quan Xiaotong's command, the hundred figures responded uniformly and re-entered the Dharma Aspects, and in an instant, a hundred rays of dawn burst across the sky.
