Chapter 969 - 905: Mu Zili’s Rule

Mu Zili rushed over, not daring to delay for a moment; Chasing Soul’s words were indeed frightening, with hundreds of Walking the Dao cultivators in a chaotic battle, and allies also involved.

This matter could be significant or minor.

Although the effects of the Mechanism Dharma Aspect had been verified, it was the first battle for these Divine Platform Realm disciples.

No one could be certain of the actual power, fearing a reckless move might lead to a major loss.

According to his assumption, there shouldn’t be a problem, but these are best-case scenarios, and without real combat, he couldn’t guarantee the exact outcome.

As a result, when he received the token message, he didn’t dare delay even for a moment, pushing the brilliance of the Five Qi to its limit.

When the glowing light streaked across the sky and arrived here, Mu Zili was dumbfounded.

Central Continent... won!

Though the hundred-odd Mechanism Dharma Aspects were in shambles, not a single ally had fallen, whereas the fallen were on both opposing sides.

Currently, it was already in the final stages, and Chasing Soul was standing aside, watching the scene.

"The base of Central Continent seems stable now."

As Mu Zili approached, Chasing Soul sighingly commented.

No wonder that fellow’s true form kept circling around the Mo Family boy. To some extent, Mo Xiuwen’s terrifying extent was indeed exaggerated.

He even thought, if Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect had arrived a thousand or eight hundred years later, they might have been bewildered the moment they set foot in Central Continent.

By then, with Han Yu as the top combat power and Mo Family kid’s bizarre creations as the basic force, they might be reduced to a sorry state the moment they appeared.

Naturally, this was just his wishful thinking. In a situation like that, Han Yu might not be so adept without these chaotic scenes.

Similarly, without the threat of Central Continent’s downfall, Mo Xiuwen might not be able to exert himself as much.

The times are creating these people of Central Continent.

These people of Central Continent are desperately changing the times.

However, at present, Central Continent evidently possesses the capability to match both sides at the foundational level.

Mu Zili also saw the results and naturally was quite satisfied; thus, the subsequent arrangements could continue as well.

Before long, when the last cultivator was surrounded and killed on the spot, after reorganizing, the voices of those cultivators echoed through the sky.

They indeed proved that at the same level, Central Continent cultivators are not weaker than others.

Some cultivators couldn’t help but speak out, "Although this Mechanism Dharma Aspect can temporarily boost our strength, it’s ultimately not very smooth. If my own strength could match without this Mechanism, these guys might just die faster."

This comment resonated with many.

"I heard that the worlds on both sides were originally sacred lands best suited for cultivation, split off from our Central Continent. Under such conditions, this group of people is still such waste; it’s truly a waste of resources."

"Indeed, they are not good enough; this group only knows how to foolishly use force, lacking any skill or experience in combat, purely wasting their power."

"Isn’t that better? When our Central Continent catches up, then we’ll settle old scores; this is our Central Continent’s traditional virtue."

A group of prodigies gathered around, laughing and discussing, while Chasing Soul and Mu Zili were already flying towards a certain point in the void.

Pointing towards the direction of the Illusion Realm, Chasing Soul indicated a spot ahead and said, "That’s where the rules they are competing for are, go and try to sense it with the Heart-Questioning Secret Technique your true form taught you."

The two simultaneously descended, with Mu Zili immediately sitting cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes. The scene turned solemn for a moment. Chasing Soul guarded beside him, while the other cultivators also stopped talking and quickly gathered around, forming a defensive formation.

In the Illusion Realm, it was empty and desolate. Mu Zili aimed in the direction and explored it. A force from the depths of the Illusion Realm approached; fortunately, Mu Zili was prepared and dodged urgently.

Both the old Daoist and Han Yu had mentioned these rules could harm people; otherwise, it would indeed be like Chasing Soul being inexplicably beaten up.

Once dodging that force, Mu Zili immediately chased after it.

Outside, changes were happening as well. A soul belonging to Mu Zili flew out from his body, reaching into the void before him. At the next moment, ripples surged in the void, and a light was born. The following moment, it was captured by Mu Zili’s soul and pulled back into his body.

At the instant the soul returned to the body, a mysterious aura continuously emerged from within. Chasing Soul’s expression changed first, then he quickly left the scene, also signaling those little guys.

"Everyone, follow me and move a bit further."

The group retreated about one mile before continuing to watch him.

At this moment, Mu Zili’s eyes were tightly closed, and his aura surged continuously. Before long, various fragments and pieces of wood began to gather towards him, as if drawn by a great force.

But once the power reached three feet from him, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had suddenly gone silent.

Just when Chasing Soul thought Mu Zili had failed at the last moment, suddenly the Divine Techniques of the Five Qi appeared behind him. Without any visible activation, the five-colored glow swept over everything, causing all things to vanish.

In the next moment, Mu Zili reopened his eyes, with light swirling in them.

Chasing Soul couldn’t help but come forward, asking urgently, "Lord Mu, what kind of rule is this?"

Mu Zili’s expression was indescribably strange as the five-colored glow swept over again, and those previously vanished items all returned to their original places.

"It seems to be a rule of storage, capable of taking things away."

Chasing Soul finally understood why his expression was so odd. What use could such a broken rule have?

To collect things?

To behave as a mobile warehouse?

Could someone as proud as Mu Zili accept such a rule?

In fact, Mu Zili not only could accept it, he seemed to be thoughtfully contemplating.

"I feel this rule quite fits my Dharma Aspect of the Five Qi; there may be nothing more suitable."

This rule seems to come with a small world of its own. All things collected would be placed within. This was the state when the rule was initially under his control.

What if, as the rule continually strengthened, would this small world not grow larger and without limit?

At that time, would it not mean he could put anything inside?

"Lord Mu, is this rule really that good?"

Chasing Soul, however, remained skeptical. If he could reach the Divine Dao Realm, he would expect to acquire a powerful rule.

"You don’t understand; my master once said, liking it is not important; what fits is most important."

As Mu Zili spoke, he continued pondering the rule within himself.

In the next moment, he looked up and suddenly addressed these prodigies of Central Continent, "Attack me with all your might."

As hundreds of rays of light simultaneously shot out, Mu Zili neither dodged nor blocked them. Yet, just as the attacks were about to hit, the Five Qi erupted behind him simultaneously, and the five-colored glow enveloped those attacks. In the next moment, the void became extraordinarily quiet.

All gone?

Not only were these Central Continent disciples dumbfounded, but even Chasing Soul was left staring agape.

With Mu Zili’s power, even if he nonchalantly resolved those attacks, it wouldn’t be surprising, but this supernatural method really was a bit frightening.

Especially when Mu Zili waved towards the distant mountains; in the next moment, the glow swept over, the hundreds of attacks reappeared, dropping amongst them, visibly leveling the mountains with the plain.

Even attacks can be stored?

Wouldn’t that mean there’s nothing it can’t collect?

At this point, Chasing Soul finally gasped, not being foolish, naturally understanding what this meant.

If an opponent of Mu Zili’s equal level faced him, perhaps anyone would die!

So that’s the meaning of rules transcending the power of the Divine Dao Realm, but isn’t this too terrifying?

Imagine, a Divine Dao Realm without rules; if any technique was collected by Mu Zili, how could they fight?

"When I return, I’ll definitely urge the true form to cultivate diligently, reaching the Divine Dao Realm as soon as possible!"

He quietly made up his mind, even contemplating stringing up the true form for a beating; this unproductive thing, how long has it been without reaching the Divine Dao Realm?

Isn’t this holding him back?

He also longed for the power of rules, for who could bear the temptation of rules’ power after witnessing it?

At this moment, Mu Zili finally understood why the old Daoist was willing to forgo cultivation to speak his wishes into reality.

Now, if someone like Chang Gen appeared before him, he could effortlessly take his life.

As for someone of Di Liuxin’s level, perhaps it wouldn’t be possible yet, as the strength gap was too large, and he’d probably be too slow to use the power, but survival might be guaranteed.

"You all go back to replenish, I’ll continue to seek others, quickly allowing them to obtain such power."

The power of rules was too important, knowing that the other two sides were also in search of it. He didn’t dare delay any longer, quickly giving a few instructions before turning into a glow and streaking across the sky.

Meanwhile, Di Liuxin was hastily making his way to a place, precisely the once-ruined Dongling City...
