Poverty

Chapter 1700
This ferry crossing outside the territory is managed by eight holy kings.

Not long ago, the Heavenly Martial Saint King was killed, and a new Saint King immediately took his place.

Apart from this minor change, the ferry crossing has remained very stable.

On this day, two more ships departed from the ferry, carrying a group of talented young men, led by an immortal.

"It is Gongsun Xuan, the eldest disciple of the Yin-Yang Dao Lord."

"Even the Yin-Yang Daoist sect has set off; it's been quite lively lately."

"This always happens whenever a new universe is discovered and explored; all the major sects will send people to spread their teachings and explore the new world."

"As a result, the entire Holy Domain became lively. I also see that many immortals from the underground Black Domain have led their people there."

"Although the immortals of the underground dark domain are not qualified to preach, there are too many undeveloped resources in the universe, and they want to get a share of the pie."

"I heard that this new universe is called the Realm of Scenery, and in ancient times its structure was comparable to that of the Sacred Realm."

"Really? Where did you hear this news?"

“My great-grandfather was a disciple of the Great Luo Heaven Reincarnation Dao Lord, and that’s how I learned about him.”

"I didn't realize you had this connection. My apologies."

……

The ferry crossing was bustling during this period, as various major sects from beyond the realm sent people to explore the wilderness. Moreover, the people they sent were all their elite disciples, totaling tens of thousands of people, at least at the eighth level of the Dao realm, and many of them were true disciples of their respective major sects.

The sheer scale of this event was truly astonishing.

The discovery of a new universe was reportedly spread by two immortal beings from the Black Domain, Ye Ziyan and Chu Wuxiang, and quickly reached the Holy Domain.

Chu Wuxiang was well-versed in the principles of cause and effect. At this moment, he stood side by side with Ye Ziyan, sitting on a precious carriage. Looking at the bustling scene at the ferry, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"How about that? I told you I wanted to kill him, we didn't even have to lift a finger."

Ye Ziyan smiled and said, "All the major sects have sent people to Jingjie to reclaim wasteland. No matter how powerful he is, he will not escape death."

Chu Wuxiang smiled and said, "Let's go. As this news spreads further, even more people will go."

He gave a general location, and although it couldn't be found in a short time, as long as the direction was correct, it would still be possible to find the boundary after spending some time.

Chu Wuxiang and Ye Ziyan sold the information to a powerful figure from beyond the realm. Ye Ziyan's injuries were also healed, and now the two are quite relaxed, waiting for the matter to develop.

"It will take at least a decade or a hundred years to find the Realm of Scenery. I don't believe you can escape this calamity."

Chu Wuxiang was well-versed in the principles of cause and effect, yet he was nearly killed by Li Yanchu with a single strike. He was furious and decided to challenge Li Yanchu to a duel.

However, he preferred to outwit his opponent rather than fight with force, and he found it more satisfying to use someone else to kill than to kill someone himself.

The two immortals rode their precious chariots back to the underground dark realm.

No matter how skilled they are, they cannot reside in the Great Luo Heaven.

The underground dark realm is a gathering place for many stowaways from other universes, as well as some vicious criminals.

They also dreamed of one day being able to reside high in the Great Luo Heaven, but unfortunately, they never had that opportunity.

"The outer realms are strictly hierarchical, emphasizing bloodlines and lineage. For someone like me, who isn't from an old holy clan, it's really difficult to change my identity," Chu Wuxiang thought with some emotion.

He is a smart man, but smart people have more worries.

He believes that the principle of cause and effect is the most special one, and that only by living a long life can one live a stable life, and only by living to the end can one achieve great things.

After the last anomaly, his relationship with Ye Ziyan deepened.

Ye Ziyan was wearing a low-cut silk dress with a slit that went up to her thigh, revealing her long, snow-white legs on the palanquin.

Seeing that Chu Wuxiang was deep in thought, she said softly, "The matter is settled, what are you still thinking about?"

Ye Ziyan spoke softly. She was petite, but not thin in the right places. Wearing a sexy dress with a high slit, she was indeed a sight to behold in the imperial carriage, making people blush and their hearts race.

Chu Wuxiang, who had achieved great success in his cultivation and was usually calm and composed, was now somewhat moved and his mouth was dry. Looking at Ye Ziyan, he felt that she was a rare beauty.

"Now that the winds of change are rising, many important things are about to happen in the Holy Land. I want to forge ahead in this era, but I also want to sit back and relax. That's why I'm a little troubled."

Chu Wuxiang held Ye Ziyan in his arms, and the two looked very close.

Ye Ziyan said with a charming smile, "In my eyes, you are the smartest and most charming man. You can definitely do what you want to do."

Her words stirred Chu Wuxiang's heart, and he lowered his head to kiss her. Soon, blush-inducing sounds emanated from the imperial carriage.

The one driving the precious chariot was a Dao Realm Eighth Level expert under Chu Wuxiang, who looked respectful.

Originally, Chu Wuxiang would bring some strongmen and beautiful maids with him when he went out, but now he doesn't care much about pomp and circumstance and prefers to keep a low profile, not wanting to attract attention at this time.

He had only been back in the Black Domain for a short time when suddenly Tianpeng, who was pulling the carriage, and the driver both let out a scream.
With a loud bang, the imperial carriage shook violently!
Chu Wuxiang's expression changed, and he shouted, "What happened?"

At this moment, the imperial carriage crashed heavily to the ground, and Chu Wuxiang and Ye Ziyan got up with disheveled clothes.

Ye Ziyan still had a blush on her face, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

Chu Wuxiang frowned as he looked at Tianpeng pulling the cart and the driver who had been beaten to death.

A young man appeared before them, looking at them coldly, and Chu Wuxiang's heart tightened.

This young man was dressed in a Taoist robe, had a handsome face, and very bright eyes.

Chu Wuxiang said coldly, "Li Yanchu, how dare you return to the Holy Domain!"

After Li Yanchu attained immortality through reincarnation, he traveled to the Holy Realm aboard the Divine Origin Ship and, after much effort, finally managed to corner the two of them.

The news of Chu Wuxiang and Ye Ziyan spreading the word about Jingjie has already spread like wildfire, and many people know about it.

Back when Li Yanchu was causing trouble in the Immortal Realm, he was very familiar with these methods of espionage.

Li Yanchu stared at Ye Ziyan and Chu Wuxiang, his gaze sweeping over them like a blade.

"The Dark Domain gathers stowaways from all over the universe, so why can't I come? Aren't you just an unidentified peasant who can't stand the light of day?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wuxiang's expression turned extremely ugly.

Li Yanchu sneered and said, "I heard you sold the information about the Jing Realm to a big shot from outside the realm. What, he didn't give you a bone to gnaw on? Why are you still hiding underground?"

"At least you should be placed on the ground, you're so pitiful!"

"In my opinion, in the eyes of those big shots, you are not even worthy of being called a dog; they would treat you as a spittoon or a chamber pot."

Chu Wuxiang's face grew even uglier, and the veins on his forehead throbbed a few times.

"You've only been in the Holy Land for a few years, what do you know?"

Chu Wuxiang was an extremely proud and talented person, but unfortunately he had no background or powerful connections, so he could only patiently cultivate underground.

He always believed that he was a hidden dragon in the abyss, and that one day he would soar into the sky and roar like a dragon across the heavens.

Li Yanchu's words revealed his bumpy and complicated emotional journey during this period, and also tore away his fig leaf.

Li Yanchu scoffed, "It's just a place where people eat each other. Do you think it will take many years to realize that?"

"The underground reveres violence, and the victor reigns supreme." "Today I will kill you, peel off your face, and let the people underground and the people above see you, this spittoon."

Li Yanchu's eyes flashed with a fierce light. At this moment, he knew perfectly well that the person who had followed him last time was Chu Wuxiang.

Fortunately, Chu Wuxiang did not discover the true location of the scenic realm, but only provided a general direction, giving them some time to adjust.

However, Li Yanchu naturally harbored intense murderous intent towards the instigator.

Ye Ziyan, who had been listening for a long time, had already lost patience. Her pretty face turned icy, and she snapped:
"Last time you launched a sneak attack in the Star Sea, did you really think you had some extraordinary skills!"

"Li Yanchu, don't be so arrogant."

Having been injured by Li Yanchu last time, Ye Ziyan, after much painful reflection, honed her supernatural abilities and methods to counter them.
Extremely dissatisfied, he immediately activated the power of the thousands of caves behind him, unleashing a mighty force that instantly boosted his cultivation to its peak.

She knew that Li Yanchu was skilled in fighting fast and close-quarters combat, so she needed to use her superior strength to defeat Li Yanchu.

As soon as Li Yanchu raised his hand, the Killing Cave appeared behind him.

The Killing Cave is extremely vast and possesses immense power.

Moreover, there are three types of Dao power circulating: martial arts, primordial chaos, and reincarnation.

Ok?
Ye Ziyan's expression changed.

The Dao power emanating from Li Yanchu was even more profound and concentrated than hers.

"How many years has he cultivated and attained enlightenment? How could he possess such profound power?" Ye Ziyan was extremely surprised.

She unleashed her divine power, and it was as if a piece of blue sky had collapsed, with the vast sky and the infinite starry sky pressing down on Li Yanchu.

At this moment, a halo of reincarnation appeared behind Li Yanchu, and in an instant, everything around him fell into his cycle of reincarnation.

Ye Ziyan's expression changed drastically!
Just now, she unleashed her Great Dao power with this move, which was incredibly powerful. However, when it reached Li Yanchu, it was all pulled into his cycle of reincarnation, thus strengthening Li Yanchu's power.

Ye Ziyan's pupils contracted: "This cycle of reincarnation is rather strange; it can even absorb my Dao power into the cycle."

Li Yanchu remained silent, only relentlessly urging his power forward. The cycle of reincarnation grew ever larger, distorting the surrounding void and stretching everything before finally plunging into Li Yanchu's cycle of reincarnation.

Ye Ziyan was unable to resist and struggled for only a moment before being drawn into the cycle of reincarnation by Li Yanchu.

A look of horror appeared in her eyes, knowing that only by preserving the true spirit could she avoid being trapped in his cycle of reincarnation.

"I am Ye Ziyan, I am Ye Ziyan, I am immortal."

She kept repeating this phrase, but how easy is it to break free from the cycle of reincarnation?

Ye Ziyan sometimes transforms into a man, sometimes into livestock, and sometimes into grass, trees, and rocks. Her body twists and stretches constantly, making her look bizarre and fantastical.

Finally, she completely fell into Li Yanchu's cycle of reincarnation, dying and disappearing. Dongyuan also fell into Li Yanchu's cycle of reincarnation, transforming into surging Dao power that flowed into Li Yanchu's body.

Li Yanchu looked at Chu Wuxiang, who had not made a move, and sneered, "What a heartless person. In order to manipulate your causal Dao layout, you actually watched her die at my hands."

Chu Wuxiang felt a chill run down his spine.

Just now, he activated his causal supernatural power to weave a large net to trap Li Yanchu within it, and for this he did not hesitate to sacrifice Ye Ziyan.

Although Ye Ziyan was an absolute beauty, she was still no match for the temptation of killing Li Yanchu.

Chu Wuxiang no longer concealed himself, but calmly smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you are far too arrogant. If you had been able to break my karmic ties one step ahead, you would still have had a chance to leave."

He manipulates countless causal threads, which form a vast net that will strangle Li Yanchu if touched even slightly.

Giving cultivators who practice the Great Dao of Cause and Effect enough time is extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the principle of cause and effect somewhat restrains the principle of reincarnation. If one falls into the cycle of reincarnation, one's true spirit will be washed away and shattered, just like Ye Ziyan.

However, as long as one grasps the great principle of cause and effect, no matter what cycle of reincarnation one goes through, one cannot escape cause and effect.

Although Chu Wuxiang was surprised that Li Yanchu had actually attained the Dao of Reincarnation Immortality, Li Yanchu's use of reincarnation against him was precisely what he could counter.

In an instant, he activated his supernatural power, and countless causal threads surged toward Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu frowned slightly.

The Great Dao of Cause and Effect is indeed extraordinary, and it happens to counteract the cycle of reincarnation.

"I have incorporated the entire underworld into the cycle of reincarnation. This path is now complete, and it is time to compete with him."

Li Yanchu immediately activated the Reincarnation Ring.

However, countless causal threads passed through his cycle of reincarnation without having any effect.

Li Yanchu was somewhat surprised.
Seeing this, Chu Wuxiang became even more smug.
"You don't even understand the basic principle of cause and effect, restraint, and reincarnation?"

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice, "According to the Great Dao, that may be true, but your cultivation is too low."

Li Yanchu's words moved Chu Wuxiang somewhat, though he found them absurd.

"I have cultivated the Dao of Cause and Effect for eight million years, while you have only just attained immortality through reincarnation, yet you are so arrogant!"

Chu Wuxiang was about to kill him when he suddenly saw the Cycle of Reincarnation expand.
Chu Wuxiang was horrified to discover that his own causal array had also fallen into Li Yanchu's cycle of reincarnation.

Seeing that this trend was gradually expanding, he became murderous and suddenly attacked Li Yanchu.

With a bang, the power of cause and effect was activated, and countless causal threads, like sharp swords, shredded Li Yanchu's body.

Activating this divine power greatly depleted Chu Wuxiang's energy, but an undisguised smugness immediately appeared in his eyes.

"You can wound me with a knife, and I can also kill you with cause and effect. This is the truth of the Tao."

"There are differences in the levels of the Great Dao, but there is no difference in strength among cultivators."

Chu Wuxiang was somewhat excited at this moment, and his words became incoherent as he uttered these mystical and nonsensical phrases.

But the next moment, a figure emerged from the cycle of reincarnation and pointed a finger at Chu Wuxiang.

Chu Wuxiang felt the Great Dao within his body constantly merging into Li Yanchu's cycle of reincarnation, a sight that terrified him.

"Impossible! You've already died under my causal supernatural powers, how could this be?"

"I've already said it, your understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect is too poor. Let's talk about it again when you reach the Dao Lord realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yanchu pointed a finger directly at Chu Wuxiang's brow, and Chu Wuxiang's brow shattered instantly.

The Great Cycle of Reincarnation pierced through his body, causing him to twist and fall into the abyss of reincarnation.

"The instigator is dead, but the news of the Jingjie Universe has already leaked out. With such a vast universe, I'm not sure where they'll appear."

"I need to hurry back."

Li Yanchu frowned deeply.

Because he went directly to the foreign lands, he didn't spend too much time.

The immortals of those major Daoist sects require time to explore, thus creating a time lag between the two.

However, Li Yanchu was unsure whether he would be able to return to the Jingjie Universe in time.
