After the myth

Chapter 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.

From the moment he ambushed and severely injured Pang Buzi, he was caught in a relentless pursuit, unable to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.

If he could break out of this chaotic center, he would have left long ago.

But no matter how hard he searched, he was always discovered while looking for a way out.

Even if he doesn't seek a way out, as long as he wants to find a quiet place to seclude himself, it will definitely not take more than a thousand years before he is discovered.

This indicates that there is a unique method at the center of chaos that can be used to identify cultivators who are not at the center of chaos.

Lan Xiaobu pondered for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that he had already reached before.

He still needs to find a way to ambush the strongmen here.

Almost every time he attempted a sneak attack, he was discovered and then surrounded and attacked.

But if he didn't ambush the powerful figures here, he would have no idea what was preventing him from leaving the center of chaos.

Even though he guessed that it was something like a barrier, he simply didn't have time to go into seclusion and study it.

Only by ambushing the powerful here, and then stripping away their world, can we find the answer within their world.

"This time, we'll set our sights on Chongyuan Cave."

Lan Xiaobu quickly identified a new target.

Qi Yuan, the master of Chongyuan Cave, is a being at the ninth step of the Great Dao.

He cultivates the Great Abyss Seed Dao, which is a kind of self-created Great Dao by borrowing the laws of creation.

Qi Yuan is very strong. He was surrounded and killed by four people before, and Qi Yuan was one of them.

The reason he chose to attack Qi Yuan was because Qi Yuan had just surrounded and killed him.

Now he's sneaking into his own cave to ambush Qi Yuan—that bastard would never have imagined that.

Logically speaking, how could someone who has just been surrounded and killed, and barely escaped with the help of a Chaos Treasure, possibly walk into a trap?
Only by walking into this trap could he have a chance to kill Qi Yuan.

As long as he stays outside Chongyuan Cave, there's a good chance he'll catch this guy.

……

Chongyuan Cave is definitely a heavyweight existence in the center of chaos.

Qi Yuan's Great Abyss Seed Dao is renowned even more in the center of Chaos.

While not invincible among his peers, Qi Yuan is undoubtedly one of the best among the saints at the ninth step of the Great Dao.

But Qi Yuan has been extremely unhappy lately.

A tiny ant has been infiltrating from the outside world for tens of thousands of years. Almost all the powerful beings at the Chaos Center have been mobilized, yet they still haven't killed it.

This made him extremely frustrated.

Where does Qi Yuan find the time to waste?
He should hurry back to his cave and go into seclusion.

Not long ago, he discovered that his Great Abyss Seed Dao could be perfected once again.

As long as his Great Abyss Seed Dao is perfected, he will have the opportunity to take the ninth step and reach the level of Qinghe Supreme Saint.

But if he didn't kill Lan Xiaobu, he would feel restless if he went back to seclusion.

A group of people discussed it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with anything.

Qi Yuan couldn't hold back any longer: "Everyone, Lan Xiaobu is definitely not at the ninth step. Since he always manages to escape whenever we surround and kill him."

"Then why don't we activate the Primordial Chaos Great Dao Formation? Once the Great Dao Formation is activated, where can he hide?"

A pale-faced, beardless man said calmly, "If Lord Qi can produce the Chaos Dao Vein to activate the Zhou Tian Great Dao Array, I can help invite someone to preside over the array."

Qi Yuan was speechless.

To activate the Primordial Chaos Dao Array, four thousand nine hundred Chaos Dao Veins are required, along with forty-nine Sages above the eighth step of the Great Dao.

It is said to be above the eighth step of the Great Dao, but it would be best if someone at the ninth step of the Great Dao were to preside over it.

However, there are not so many Ninth Steps in the Chaos Center of the Gods World.

That means the required eighth step of the Great Dao may have more than forty-nine steps.

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone's interests are aligned at the center of chaos.

But if you want someone to do something, you still need to offer something in return.

Qi Yuan proposed activating the Primordial Chaos Dao Array because he hoped that everyone would contribute some Chaos Dao Veins.

What Pang Xi meant was that since he raised the issue, Qi Yuan should be the one to provide these Chaos Dao Veins.

Qi Yuan sneered inwardly.

At worst, everyone can just wait it out. Why should Qi Yuan be the only one to give up all the Chaos Dao Veins?

"In that case, I, Qi Yuan, will not keep you company."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he stood up, turned around, and left.

He didn't want to waste his time on this pointless struggle.

No one stopped Qi Yuan.

Everyone knew that Qi Yuan would definitely participate in the interception again if Lan Xiaobu appeared next time.

As long as Lan Xiaobu is not eliminated, everyone in the center of chaos will remain uneasy, including Qi Yuan.

……

While Qi Yuan was still arguing, Lan Xiaobu had already arrived at Chongyuan Cave using teleportation techniques.

Having been hunted for so many years, he knew the locations of those old guys' dens in the center of chaos like the back of his hand.

He had visited Chongyuan Cave more than once, a total of four times.

However, he was unable to enter the other party's cave dwelling through the restrictions on the first three times, and he did not get the chance to enter the other party's cave dwelling.

Because there is a special barrier here that he cannot break through.

If it weren't for this special barrier, how could Lan Xiaobu still be trapped here today?
This time, Lan Xiaobu easily formed an ordinary Dao Spirit Grass outside Chongyuan Cave.

This kind of spiritual plant is everywhere outside Chongyuan Cave.

Lan Xiaobu believed that he could easily form a Dao Spirit Grass and hide here, so Qi Yuan would definitely not be able to find him if he didn't pay attention.

If Qi Yuan notices him when he returns, he will leave immediately. Time slowly passed, and Lan Xiaobu felt a mix of emotions.

This place is estimated to have at least several hundred chaotic Dao veins implanted within it; the primordial energy from the creation of heaven and earth could practically nourish the Great Dao.

This is still outside Chongyuan Cave. If we were to enter Chongyuan Cave, how rich would the spiritual energy of heaven and earth be inside?
No wonder these old bastards don't allow any outsiders to encroach on their territory.

Who would be willing to give up such a training ground at the heart of chaos?

Time slowly passed as Lan Xiaobu waited, and he grew somewhat anxious.

If the waiting time is too long, he will stop waiting.

The longer it goes on, the more dangerous his plan becomes.

Just as Lan Xiaobu was calculating how many more days he could wait, a gray figure approached from afar and landed outside Chongyuan Cave in the blink of an eye.

"A bunch of short-sighted idiots." Qi Yuan's anger had not subsided even after landing outside his cave.

Four thousand nine hundred Chaos Dao Veins is a lot if one person takes out a lot, but if everyone contributes some, how much can there be?
Qi Yuan knew better than anyone that there was another reason why no one agreed to his proposal.

That means the divine throne that Lan Xiaobu brought out has been targeted.

If they can use the Zhou Tian Dao Formation to capture Lan Xiaobu, then the Divine Throne Sect will definitely not stand a chance.

Qi Yuan was furious and didn't check his surroundings for a moment, actually ignoring Lan Xiaobu's presence.

As Lan Xiaobu saw Qi Yuan appear, she became increasingly calm.

He had to succeed in one strike, otherwise he would immediately attract a group of powerful figures to attack him.

He wasn't afraid of Qi Yuan alone, but with a bunch of people coming to besiege him, plus that barrier he didn't even know about, even if Lan Xiaobu had three heads and six arms, he could only wait to die.

Although this was the perfect moment for Lan Xiaobu to launch a sneak attack, he still did not make a move.

He decided to wait until Qi Yuan activated the cave's restrictions, then blast Qi Yuan into the cave and kill him.

How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?

Sending himself into Qi Yuan's cave increased the danger for him several times over.

But the same opportunities will also increase several times over.

Besides, he also has the Divine Gate; if all else fails, he can escape through the Divine Gate.

Qi Yuan opened the cave realm without any warning.

When an entrance door appeared before Lan Xiaobu's eyes, Lan Xiaobu gasped in shock.

What an exquisite cave dwelling restriction!

He hadn't even noticed the existence of this restriction before.

Although he had long known that there was a kind of barrier that he had never come into contact with, this was the first time he had seen someone open such a barrier in front of him.

After activating the cave's protective barrier, Qi Yuan was about to step into the cave when, seemingly sensing something, he subconsciously turned back.

Just then, a terrifying aura of killing intent locked down his entire surroundings.

Oh no, someone has ambushed me.

Before Qi Yuan could react, a pain that seemed to tear his very soul blasted into him from the back of the head.

Qi Yuan felt as if his entire Dao body was about to collapse, and the Dao's essence was cracking. He frantically tried to break free from this painful feeling of the Dao being torn apart.

Before he could even refine his Daoist essence, an even more terrifying tearing Daoist essence blasted into his back.

Although the two sneak attacks came one after the other, they were perfectly executed, without the slightest sense of abruptness.

"Oh!"

Qi Yuan felt his body being blasted into the air, heading straight towards the depths of his cave.

Lan Xiaobu has already helped Qi Yuan set up a protective barrier around his cave.

With a flick of his wrist, Qi Yuan entered his world.

Even without leading Qi Yuan to his Immortal Realm, Lan Xiaobu could still manipulate Qi Yuan.

But Lan Xiaobu knew that if he wasn't careful, he would be hunted down again.

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered something like this.

"Lan Xiaobu..." Qi Yuan's tone was tinged with despair.

Before he could even fight back, he was captured and taken into the other person's world.

This is clearly Lan Xiaobu's world.

"Take out the jade token that restricts your cave dwelling, and hand over your communication bead. I'll give you three breaths, or I'll search your soul. Three, two..."

Lan Xiaobu only mentioned two.

Qi Yuan unhesitatingly threw out his cave's realm jade token and communication bead.

He understood Lan Xiaobu's purpose.

That means first filling in the gaps in your own cave's boundaries.

As for the communication bead, once someone contacts him, he sends out a false message.

After Lan Xiaobu came out with the Realm Jade Token, he realized that even with the token, he still couldn't break through the Realm Restriction of Qi Yuan Cave.

Lan Xiaobu returned to his immortal realm once again.

This time, he didn't ask any questions, but simply pointed a finger at Qi Yuan's brow.

The pain of having one's soul torn apart came through.

Qi Yuan immediately understood Lan Xiaobu's meaning and quickly called out, "Fellow Daoist Lan, let me tell you how to fight in the Upper Realm..."

"Is that a realm?"

"Yes, yes, some people also call it the Realm or the Source Realm. It is constructed from the Source Laws. You haven't encountered it before, but I can teach you..."

"Source?"

"Yes, yes, it is a kind of fundamental law that ordinary laws cannot detect."
