Bei Yiyu, who was sitting outside the Great Ultimate Realm’s Defense Array with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A moment later, two cultivators appeared on the square.

“Did you discover anything?” Bei Yiyu looked at these two as he stood up.

The bitter-faced old man at the front was wearing a hemp garment. He didn’t look different from an ordinary non-cultivator, but Bei Yiyu did not dare ignore him because he was also a third-step expert of the Bei Family called Bei Ku.

Behind Bei Ku was thin Bei Ping. Bei Ping’s age wasn’t obvious, and his cultivation level had yet to reach the third step.

Bei Ku and Bei Ping hurriedly bowed in front of Bei Yiyu before Bei Ku said, “Bei Jie has been killed by Di Jiu, who has very mysterious strength. Rumor has it that even a Dao Integration expert can’t withstand one move of his. I’ve checked many places but I only found that Di Jiu first appeared at Heaven’s Beyond. After going in, we realized that he had killed the Nie Clan. However, we didn’t find out anything about his power. We returned immediately. Based on the information I got, Di Jiu will return to Heaven’s Beyond sooner or later.”

Bei Yiyu hesitated for a while before saying, “The two of you will help here too. After I refine the Great Ultimate Realm, I’ll also refine Heaven’s Beyond.”

…

Bam! Di Jiu fell to the ground and landed on both legs. Without needing to scan the place with his Spiritual Force, he knew that he had gotten out of the Dao Abyss. He was now in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

He was very familiar with the surrounding chaotic Heaven Earth Law, so he didn’t need to guess at all.

Along with Di Jiu, Po Xu, Zuo Zhongren, Yi Ji, Ci, and the rest landed as well.

“We’ve finally left the Dao Abyss. I know this place!” Po Xu shouted in excitement. In fact, apart from Di Jiu, he had spent the shortest time in the Dao Abyss compared to the rest. He was excited because, without Di Jiu, he would have been in the Dao Abyss for a lifetime.

Di Jiu said, “Although we’re out of the Dao Abyss, this is the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. It’s still very hard to get out.”

A few of them went silent. They knew very well that Di Jiu had stated facts. There was no way out of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. If they wanted to get out of this place, the only solution was probably tearing the realm there.

Even Zuo Zhongren couldn’t tear the realm of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Di Jiu’s cultivation level was a level lower than that of Zuo Zhongren. Even though his Dao was much stronger than Zuo Zhongren’s, he couldn’t tear the realm there.

Di Jiu let Ye Yimo and Chu Manhe come out of the Quintessential World. He wanted to ask Chu Manhe whether she had any ideas. Compared to Zuo Zhongren, who had always been in the Dao Abyss, Chu Manhe had spent a longer time in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

“We’ve returned to the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone?” Chu Manhe said in pleasant surprise once she came out. She had spent many years in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, so she was really familiar with this place.

She recalled that she had been in this place with the chaotic laws for many years as a remnant soul. Every moment, she had been worried about being torn into scraps by these chaotic laws. As she looked at her currently complete physical body, she felt deeply moved and very grateful for Di Jiu.

She felt the surrounding chaotic Heaven Earth Law and some broken Dharma treasure fragments on the ground and was immersed in her memory for a moment.

She wondered how many acquaintances would still be in the Sacred Dao Sect when she returned after so many years.

“Sister Manhe, do you know if there is any way out of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone?” Di Jiu asked. He was somewhat worried about the Great Ultimate Realm. When he’d left, the Great Ultimate Realm had been sealed, which wouldn’t have happened unless there was a serious issue.

Because the Great Ultimate Realm had been sealed in a chain by four of his Five-Element Flags, based on the degree of rigidity, even a third-step expert couldn’t break through that place in a short time.

However, Di Jiu hadn’t expected that he would be delayed in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone for more than 100 years. Someday, the Five-Element Flags would be broken.

Chu Manhe subconsciously shook her head. She didn’t dare roam around the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. Even though she had been reborn from a remnant soul, she would be courting death if she roamed around at will in a place with chaotic laws.

She had heard the news about the Dao Abyss from other remnant souls.

Because the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone was a place filled with chaotic laws, there was no clash of interest between the remnant souls that had been reborn. Usually, unless there was an evil cultivator who loved to devour remnant souls to cultivate, most of them could share news. However, such evil cultivators were detested by everyone in a place like the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, so they did not dare come out at will.

Itinerant Yi Ji was ecstatic at that moment. In fact, he had half-succeeded by rushing out of the Dao Abyss.

He knew very well why Ye Zifeng had spied on him. In the past, he had been a Golden Page Sacred Lord after all. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even though Ye Zifeng was afraid of him, many third-step experts in the Dao Abyss were afraid of him as well. This was why, although he was not very strong, the Dao trading hall had also shown him respect.

Now that he had rushed out of the Dao Abyss, at least he truly had his freedom.

“Daoist Di, I think we can ask the remnant souls here. Back then, countless experts perished here during the Creation War. Perhaps, someone might know the way out.” Itinerant Yi Ji took the initiative to speak. Although he was temporarily safe, he didn’t wish to continue to stay in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.

Nobody could cultivate in the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, and this place was very dangerous. Once Ye Zifeng rushed out of the Dao Abyss, that would mean certain death.

When Chu Manhe heard what he’d said, she suddenly said, “Junior Brother Ah Jiu, I’ve recalled something. Many years ago, I heard a remnant soul say that there was a whirlpool similar to the Creation Gate in the Heavenly Poison Canyon of the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. As long as a cultivator approached that whirlpool, they would immediately be swept into it. Some remnant souls even wondered whether that whirlpool gate led outside the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.”

Di Jiu shook his head. “That’s not possible. If there was a place we could go to exit the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone, the people outside would have known about it. In fact, it is rumored that one cannot get out after entering the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone. No matter what, we have to go to the Heavenly Poison Canyon first. Senior Sister Manhe, do you know where the Heavenly Poison Canyon is?”

Chu Manhe shook her head awkwardly. “I don’t know. I only know that there is such a place.”

Itinerant Yi Ji said, “The Heavenly Poison Canyon exists indeed. I didn’t expect that after the Creation War, the Heavenly Poison Canyon would be swept into the Mountain Gaze Forbidden Zone.”

Di Jiu sighed. Unless he found the person who had said this, he supposed that nobody would be able to tell him where the Heavenly Poison Canyon was.

Ci, who had not spoken yet, said, “Perhaps, I can find the Heavenly Poison Canyon. Follow me, everyone.”

While he said that, Ci’s Spiritual Force seemed to permeate the place. Di Jiu immediately sensed Ci’s Spiritual Force. It was a very strange kind of Dao rune aura with strange laws…

Itinerant Yi Ji suddenly shouted, “So it’s you!”

Before Yi Ji could finish his sentence, Ci chuckled. “That’s all in the past. I have long forgotten it.”

“Yes, yes,” Itinerant Yi Ji said as he slowed down his pace. Although he had been very close to Ci before, he now walked to the back. Clearly, he feared Ci from the bottom of his heart.

Di Jiu was puzzled. Even though Yi Ji was nothing special now, he had been an exceptional expert who had possessed the Creation treasure called Golden Page World in the past. This expert was feared, so Ci had to have a certain background.

When he saw Yi Ji’s expression, Po Xu’s face changed. He immediately lowered his head, as he had clearly recognized who Ci was.

Ci was very fast. The Heaven Earth Law there was chaotic but it did not affect him much.
