Chapter 875 - The Dao Abyss Where Experts Gather
The Dao Abyss seemed to be extremely deep. The feet of Di Jiu, who was carrying Chu Manhe, touched the ground half an hour after he jumped down.
The surrounding mist disappeared, and he saw a row of Illumination Arrays instead. These arrays brightened up the surroundings significantly.
Di Jiu immediately realized that his Spiritual Force was unaffected at the bottom of the Dao Abyss. Upon scanning the area with his Spiritual Force, he discovered numerous stone paths extending outward in a spiderweb-like fashion. Amongst all these stone paths was an extremely broad one.
At the end of this stone path was a round building with the signboard “Dao Trading” outside.
Di Jiu knew that this should be a trading hall. However, what was the purpose of these spiderweb-like stone paths?
Di Jiu opened his eyes and quickly discovered that something was amiss. There seemed to be a cave abode at the end of each stone path. These cave abodes had been sealed using invisibility restrictions, so they had been undetected by his Spiritual Force.
This was a powerful Array Dao technique. He knew that each cave abode should contain a cultivator who was in reclusive cultivation.
When he used his Dao eye to look at these cave abodes, he saw clearly that each cave abode was leaning on the side of the Dao Abyss’s building. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the cave abodes had been dug out at the foot of the mountain.
Di Jiu’s gaze followed the stone paths one at a time, discovering that all cave abodes had been dug in a similar fashion. It seemed that the only way to sense the Creation Aura and cultivate was to dig a cave abode by the mountain. However, he would need to dig one at the furthest end, for the mountain was almost completely surrounded by cave abodes.
He knew without a doubt that the Creation Aura in those areas was the weakest.
This kind of major array was very frightening. Once activated, every array foundation would be controlled by an exceptional Array Dao expert. Such a major array could kill him easily, and he could not replicate it despite his capabilities.
“Let’s go to the Dao Abyss Square,” Di Jiu informed Chu Manhe, choosing to stop chit-chatting with the man.
Anything he said at the moment would be useless. Why should he waste his time here since he could not start a fight?
The man disappeared into the void once again when he saw Di Jiu and Chu Manhe retreat.
“What a formidable supernormal invisibility skill…” Chu Manhe sighed. She had once been an expert as well, but she’d realized just how weak she was after encountering many experts in the Creation War. Also, she understood that ignorance was the scariest, as the ignorant would always think that everything was within their grasp. Nonetheless, the ignorant were not completely useless, for they were fearless.
“It’s not a supernormal ability but an understanding of the spatial laws,” Di Jiu replied solemnly.
He chose inaction exactly because he knew that this man’s understanding of spatial laws surpassed his own. After all, given how powerful a Dao Integration guard was, he might really have to flee if he started a fight and lured true experts.
There was still no one on the Dao Abyss Square. When Di Jiu and Chu Manhe arrived at the square, he discovered that some cultivators were tied down on the edge. They were tied to a pillar, surrounded by restrictions. He had not seen them previously, but upon taking a closer look, the first person he saw was actually Dao Lord Po Xu.
Di Jiu spotted Dao Lord Po Xu the moment the latter saw him.
“Daoist Po Xu, how did you end up in such a sorry state?” Di Jiu walked over to Dao Lord Po Xu.
Dao Lord Po Xu explained regretfully, “Daoist Di, don’t break the restrictions binding me, or both of us will die. You do not know how outrageously powerful the people here are. I thought that my strength was not bad, but I do not stand a chance here.”
Di Jiu evidently knew that he could not do anything. Otherwise, he would already have broken the restrictions binding Dao Lord Po Xu instead of standing around chit-chatting.
“What’s going on? Tell me,” Di Jiu requested as he continuously threw nomological array flags on the square.
Weren’t there a lot of experts here? Therefore, he would have a good backup plan if he needed to escape later.
Dao Lord Po Xu sighed. “When I chased that guy here and tried to seize Lightning back, that b*stard was actually aware of the rules of this place. He did not fight back, letting me attack him as I pleased instead. Because I violated the rules, I was captured and pinned onto this square.”
