Chapter 970: Soul Flying, Body Chasing

Chapter 970: Chapter 906: Soul Flying, Body Chasing

The city of ruins, now lost even its former outline, overgrown with weeds. If not for the fallen walls and ruins among the weeds, no one would know this was once a bustling place.

At this moment, many cultivators surrounded the area, and many had fallen.

Di Liuxin glanced coldly at the few cross-legged corpses and sneered.

They deserved to die, daring to covet power that should not belong to them.

Indeed, if it were just about sensing the rules, how could they die? It’s obvious these are reckless souls craving power.

Especially those still alive, perhaps only thought to alert them after seeing so many dead.

Though Di Liuxin disdained them, he did the same, rushing over without notifying the other three upon learning from the subordinates.

Striding forward, he was guided by the cultivators to an open space.

He did not sit cross-legged but closed his eyes and entered the long-awaited mysterious Illusion Realm…

“Do you think the Fourth Elder knows we are aware of his sneaky head start?”

Jiang Xinyuan spoke rather awkwardly.

As for the other two, they snickered, and Second Elder Shang Wanfeng casually said, “Let him be, he’s always been used to being shrewd.”

Di Liuxin indeed thought himself clever, never considering anything could be concealed from them.

They knew about the discovery of the rule in Dongling City but pretended ignorance.

“Let him test the waters first; I’m afraid there’s a trap.”

Wuxian sneered, doubting Yin Wang would be so kind-hearted.

Likewise, he was suspicious of their master’s sudden generosity.

Though the 3,000 rules are unclaimed, He always treated them as His possession.

Could they be so easily taken? Something must be amiss.

Sure enough, the Walking the Dao cultivators below ran into trouble, those coveting the rules perished first.

“This only proves that below the Divine Dao Realm, touching the rules leads to death,” Jiang Xinyuan said, frowning.

Next to him, Shang Wanfeng sneered, “That’s why they let the Fourth Elder, who’s in the Divine Dao Realm, try it.”

Jiang Xinyuan’s expression turned strange; after a moment’s hesitation, he said, “This might be unkind.”

If it’s a trap, the Fourth Elder will likely fall into it.

“No worry, the Fourth Elder is used to it over these millennia; he won’t mind.”

Shang Wanfeng said thus.

Besides, no one forced him; he volunteered to be the first to reach for the rule.

How can he blame others?

…

Meanwhile, as Di Liuxin nearly touched the rule, the scene constantly shifted.

In the next moment, a cluster of brilliant colors appeared before him, radiating and exuding mysterious atmospheres, immediately enchanting Di Liuxin.

He couldn’t help reaching out, and the moment he touched the brilliance, the white light burst forth.

Contrary to Mu Zili, Di Liuxin’s soul wasn’t carried back into his body; instead, the light carried his soul away.

Everyone watched in horror as the Fourth Elder’s soul was abducted, their faces turning pale.

Not just them, Di Liuxin was terrified too; this was not as he imagined.

Where’s the test?

The insight?

At least give a hint, why take my soul away?

The scene turned bizarre as Di Liuxin, while not yet far away, hurriedly contacted his body, which flew out like a marionette.

Both moved swiftly, one soul flying ahead and the body trailing behind.

Di Liuxin gritted his teeth; no one mentioned rules could move or be so troublesome after touching.

Consequently, his soul was tightly entangled with the rule, unable to break free momentarily.

He just considered using his soul’s power to strike the rule but stopped abruptly, breaking out in cold sweat.

He was now bound with the rule; if the force is too strong, regardless of whether the rule breaks, his soul will surely be injured first.

Damned Heavenly Dao, is this your trick?

If it weren’t deliberately setting a trap, he wouldn’t believe it even if killed.

…

The same occurred elsewhere.

Aren’t the Celestial Dao Sect’s junior elders also in the Divine Dao Realm? Just weaker. Yet, faced with the rule’s temptation, who can resist?

Just like in the Southern Border, when the third rule was discovered, a junior elder chose to plunder first instead of reporting.

This move triggered the rule’s counteraction as well.

Given lesser strength compared to Di Liuxin, his soul was whisked away without a trace, with the body unable to chase.

He too didn’t consider the danger of touching the rule.

Thus, his soul vanished without a trace after being taken away from one territory.

As such incidents increased, naturally, they garnered attention.

Overseas stone platform, outside the Four Extremes Hall.

“I said these rules must be a trap,” Shang Wanfeng sneered; they naturally knew about Di Liuxin’s situation, and their reckless junior elders got trapped too.

Soul detachment, over time, would be fatal even for a Divine Dao Realm expert.

Di Liuxin might find a way out, but for those junior elders, it’s left to luck.

“Perhaps not a complete trap; the rules should be genuine; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a plot involving them, so the danger must be real. This hand might aim to chop off our assistance.”

Wuxian calmly analyzed for a moment and slowly responded.

The three thousand rules are enough to trap and kill the Divine Dao Realm cultivators on both sides.

Even if cultivators below the Divine Dao Realm attempt the rule, the trap’s scope widens significantly.

Nonetheless, everyone continues scouring Central Continent for these rules, despite knowing the danger; none can escape the lure.

“I want to try.”

Jiang Xinyuan said so; if it’s just this method, he remains undaunted.

Compared to the risks, unless immediately fatal, the rules are worth the gamble.

Especially understanding what will happen allows early preparation.

The three of them waited for others to test the waters before making a move!

Only until this moment were the three ready to leave overseas, heading straight for Central Continent.

…

Central Continent’s side celebrated repeatedly, as the Chasing Soul returned with Ye Hei, took a break, and reported Mu Zili obtaining the rule.

Sect Leader Xingyue and Sect Leader Piaomiao gradually transformed, successfully adding to Central Continent’s Divine Dao Realm.

The old man half-jokingly said to Quan Xiaotong, “If not for the lack of foundation, with the current number of Divine Dao Realm, even without Celestial Beings, both sides could be challenged.”

He saw most clearly; when first entering Central Continent to find Han Yu, the place was impoverished, and had both sides not schemed against each other, Central Continent could have perished anytime.

Look now, as they can consecutively cultivate cultivators of the Divine Platform, the Divine Dao Realm’s lineup keeps expanding.

Counting up, if the Heavenly Dao emerges, they could resist Celestial Beings while Han Yu leads to clear the basic setup, not without a chance of victory.

At least, as long as the Heavenly Dao is strong enough, none below Celestial Beings can do anything to Han Yu.

Not even those four fools at the Four Extremes Hall.
