Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1088 - 1081: Sneak Attack Under the Lamp
Lan Xiaobu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He felt he couldn't continue like this.
Ever since he launched a sneak attack and severely injured Pang Bozi, he had been endlessly pursued, unable to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.
If he could break out of this chaotic center, he would have already left.
But no matter how he searched, every time he tried to find a way out, he was discovered.
Even without looking for an exit, whenever he tried to find a quiet place for secluded cultivation, it never took more than a thousand years before he was found.
This indicated that the chaotic center had a unique method for identifying cultivators who did not belong there.
Lan Xiaobu pondered for a long time and eventually reached a conclusion he had arrived at earlier.
He still needed to figure out a way to launch a sneak attack on the strong enemies here.
Previously, almost every time he attempted a sneak attack, he was discovered and besieged.
But without attacking the powerful here, he wouldn't be able to discover what was keeping him from leaving the chaotic center.
Even if he guessed it was a barrier-like entity, he simply didn't have the time to meditate and study it.
Only by attacking the strong ones here and stripping their world could he find the answer within it.
"This time, I'll set my target on the Zhongyuan cave mansion."
Lan Xiaobu quickly decided on his target again.
The master of Zhongyuan cave mansion, Qi Yuan, who was at the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.
He cultivated the Great Abyss Dao, which is a self-created Dao based on the Dao Principle of Creation.
Qi Yuan was very powerful; previously, when he was besieged by four people, Qi Yuan was among them.
The reason for choosing Qi Yuan was because he had just been involved in the encirclement against him.
Now, he was going to sneak attack Qi Yuan in his own cave mansion, and this bastard would never expect it.
Common sense would dictate that someone who had just narrowly escaped an ambush using a Chaos Treasure would never walk into a trap.
Only by using this method of throwing himself into the net did he have a chance to eliminate Qi Yuan.
As long as he hid outside the Zhongyuan cave mansion, there was a certain chance of catching the guy.
...
The Zhongyuan cave mansion was undeniably a heavyweight existence in the chaotic center.
Qi Yuan's Great Abyss Dao was particularly renowned in the chaotic center.
Though not invincible among those of the same rank, Qi Yuan was undoubtedly a standout among the Ninth Step great beings.
But Qi Yuan was currently extremely displeased.
A mere ant had barged in from the outside world for tens of thousands of years, and despite nearly all the powerful figures of the chaotic center mobilizing, they still hadn't killed him.
This left him exceedingly frustrated.
How could Qi Yuan afford to waste so much time?
Now, he needed to return to his cave mansion for secluded cultivation as quickly as possible.
Not long ago, he realized his Great Abyss Dao could be refined once more.
If his Great Abyss Dao were further refined, he would have the opportunity to take the Ninth Step and reach the level of Qing He, the supreme saint.
But without killing Lan Xiaobu, his heart would remain unsettled if he returned for secluded cultivation.
A moment ago, a group of people discussed for a long time, yet nothing came from it.
Qi Yuan couldn't hold back any longer: "Everyone, Lan Xiaobu is definitely not at the Ninth Step, yet every time we siege him, he has a way to escape.
So why don't we activate the Around the World Great Dao Array, and once it's activated, where can he hide?"
A clean-shaven man replied calmly, "If the Master of Qi Mansion can provide the Chaos Dao Veins to activate the Around the World Great Dao Array, I could help invite people to host the array."
Qi Yuan was momentarily speechless.
Activating the Around the World Great Dao Array required 4,900 Chaos Dao Veins and 49 saints at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao or beyond to host.
Although it was supposed to be saints beyond the Eighth Step, ideally, it should be those at the Ninth Step of the Great Dao to host.
Yet, in the World of Gods' chaotic center, there weren't that many at the Ninth Step.
This meant that more than 49 could be required at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.
Even though interests aligned in the chaotic center,
If you wanted people to act, you had to provide rewards.
Qi Yuan proposed opening the Around the World Great Dao Array, hoping everyone would contribute some Chaos Dao Veins.
But Pang Xi's point was that since Qi Yuan brought up the issue, it should be he who provided all the Chaos Dao Veins.
Qi Yuan chuckled coldly in his heart.
If that was the case, he could just wait it out; why should he alone supply all the Chaos Dao Veins?
"If that's the case, then I, Qi Yuan, won't bother with this anymore."
Saying that, Qi Yuan got up and walked away.
He didn't want to waste time in meaningless disputes.
No one stopped Qi Yuan.
Because in their hearts, they all knew, that as soon as Lan Xiaobu appeared again, Qi Yuan would definitely participate in the interception.
As long as Lan Xiaobu was alive, everyone in the chaotic center would remain uneasy, including Qi Yuan himself.
...
While Qi Yuan was still arguing, Lan Xiaobu had already used his translocation technique to arrive at the Zhongyuan cave mansion.
Having been pursued for so many years, he was already intimately familiar with the locations of the cave mansions of these old guys in the chaotic center.
He had visited the Zhongyuan cave mansion more than once, a total of four times.
But the first three times, he couldn't break through the opponent's cave mansion restrictionand had no opportunity to enter.
Because there was a special barrier here, he couldn't break it.
If not for this special barrier, Lan Xiaobu would not be trapped here until today.
This time, Lan Xiaobu shape-shifted into an ordinary Dao Spirit Grass outside the Zhongyuan cave mansion.
This kind of spirit plant was found everywhere outside the Zhongyuan cave mansion.
Lan Xiaobu believed that his shape-shifting Dao Spirit Grass hiding here would definitely go unnoticed by Qi Yuan.
If Qi Yuan noticed him upon returning, he'd leave immediately.
Time slowly passed, and Lan Xiaobu was filled with mixed feelings.
This place was likely implanted with at least hundreds of Chaos Dao Veins; the primordial energy here could practically irrigate the Great Dao.
This was still outside the Chongyuan cave mansion. How dense must the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi be inside?
No wonder these old turtles didn't allow any outsiders to occupy their territory.
Who would willingly give up such a cultivation place at the center of chaos?
Time slipped away slowly as Lan Xiaobu waited, and he began to feel a bit anxious.
If the wait was too long, he wouldn't wait anymore.
The longer it took, the more dangerous his approach became.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was calculating how many more days he could wait at most, a gray figure approached from afar, landing outside the Chongyuan cave mansion in the blink of an eye.
"A bunch of short-sighted fools." Qi Yuan was still furious as he landed outside his cave mansion.
Taking out 4,900 Chaos Dao Veins was a lot for one person, but how much could everyone provide if each contributed a portion?
Qi Yuan knew better than anyone why his proposal wasn't accepted—there was another reason.
It was that the Divine Position Gate Lan Xiaobu took out had attracted attention.
If they could use the Zhou Tian Great Dao Array to capture Lan Xiaobu, the Divine Position Gate would surely not belong to them.
Enraged, Qi Yuan failed to observe his surroundings carefully and really did overlook Lan Xiaobu's presence.
Seeing Qi Yuan appear, Lan Xiaobu grew calmer.
He had to succeed with one strike, or else a swarm of experts would attack him.
He wasn't afraid of just Qi Yuan, but if a group came to besiege him, along with an unknown barrier, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would be left with no choice but death.
Although this was the best time for Lan Xiaobu to launch a surprise attack, he still didn't make a move.
He decided to wait for Qi Yuan to activate the cave mansion restriction and then directly blast Qi Yuan into the cave mansion to finish him.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's cub?
Entering Qi Yuan's cave mansion himself meant his danger increased multiple times.
But at the same time, the opportunity also increased multiple times.
Besides, he still had the Divine Position Gate; if it came to it, he could use it to escape.
Qi Yuan, unwary, activated the cave mansion's position realm.
When an entrance appeared before Lan Xiaobu, he gasped.
The cave mansion's restriction was so exquisite.
He hadn't noticed such a restriction's existence at all before.
Although he'd long known there was a barrier he had never encountered, it was his first time seeing someone open it in front of him today.
After activating the cave mansion restriction, Qi Yuan was about to step into the mansion when he seemed to sense something and instinctively turned back.
At that moment, a terrifying murderous aura locked all his space.
Not good, someone was ambushing him.
Before Qi Yuan could react, a soul-tearing pain struck the back of his head.
Qi Yuan felt as if his entire Dao body was about to collapse, with the Dao Rhythm cracking as he frantically tried to break free from this pain. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
But before he could condense his Dao Rhythm, an even more terrifying tearing Dao Rhythm slammed into his back.
Though the two surprise attacks came one after the other, they were seamlessly coordinated, without a hint of abruptness.
"Bang!"
Qi Yuan felt his body being blasted away, directly toward the depths of his cave mansion.
Lan Xiaobu had already helped Qi Yuan activate the cave mansion restriction.
With a wave of his hand, Qi Yuan was taken into his own world.
Even though Lan Xiaobu could deal with Qi Yuan without bringing him to his Longevity Realm, he knew that one slip and he would be hunted down again.
This wasn't the first time he'd encountered such a situation.
"Lan Xiaobu..." Qi Yuan's tone carried some despair.
He hadn't even had a chance to fight back before he was caught and dragged into someone else's world.
This was obviously Lan Xiaobu's world.
"Hand over your cave mansion's restriction Jade Plate and Communication Bead. I'll give you three breaths, or else, soul search. Three, two..."
Lan Xiaobu only counted to two.
Qi Yuan, without hesitation, threw out his cave mansion's position realm Jade Plate and Communication Bead.
He understood Lan Xiaobu's intention.
It was to first secure his cave mansion's position realm.
As for the Communication Bead, if anyone tried to contact him, it would send a false message.
After coming out with the position realm Jade Plate, Lan Xiaobu realized, even with this Jade Talisman, he still couldn't secure the position realm restriction on Qi Yuan's cave mansion.
Lan Xiaobu returned to his Longevity Realm once again.
This time, he didn't ask; instead, he simply pointed a finger at Qi Yuan's forehead.
The pain from his Divine Soul being torn came through.
Qi Yuan immediately understood Lan Xiaobu's intention and quickly shouted, "Lan, I can tell you how to secure the position realm..."
"Is that position realm?"
"Yes, yes, some also call it Domain Realm or Source Realm, constructed by Source Principles. You haven't encountered it, but I can teach you..."
"Source Principle?"
"Yes, yes, it's a fundamental Heavenly Principle that the usual Great Dao cannot detect."
