After the myth

Chapter 1082 You Scheme Against Me, I Scheme Against You
Once Lan Xiaobu realized that the boundary was formed by the source rules, he knew he didn't need to learn it anymore.

Because in areas he doesn't understand, even if Qi Yuan plays tricks, he won't be able to detect it for a while.

So he decided to leave immediately.

Otherwise, there's a high chance he'll be trapped in Qi Yuan's cave.

Qi Yuan's cave dwelling is now sealed off by a barrier, a restriction that anyone familiar with the realm of cultivation can easily spot.

Even if he obtained Qi Yuan's Realm Jade Talisman, he wouldn't be able to apply the Realm Restriction to Qi Yuan's Cave.

If the restrictions on Qi Yuan Cave cannot be restored, then he cannot remain in Qi Yuan Cave.

Lan Xiaobu understands one principle very well: in areas you haven't ventured into, don't have any wishful thinking.

Learning something new and applying it immediately could very well harm you.

Lan Xiaobu originally wanted to tear open Qi Yuan's Great Dao World.

However, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

He had a feeling that he might not be able to open the other party's Great Dao Universe World.

If you can't open up to the other person's world, it will only make them wary.

Once he understands the principles of origin and the boundaries of position, he will then open the other party's Great Dao World.

Thinking of this, Lan Xiaobu coldly said, "Inscribe everything you know about the Source Laws and the Dimensional Realms into a jade slip and give it to me..."

After saying that, Lan Xiaobu loosened some of the restraints on Qi Yuan.

In his immortal world, he wasn't worried about Qi Yuan causing trouble.

An hour later, Qi Yuan carefully handed the jade slip to Lan Xiaobu.

Lan Xiaobu left the Realm of Immortality again, extracting all the Chaos Dao Veins from Qi Yuan Cave, a total of 1,091.

This guy is really rich. Once we open his Great Dao World, he'll probably be even richer.

After leaving Qi Yuan's Chongyuan Cave, Lan Xiaobu did not go far.

Lan Xiaobu has been to most places in the center of chaos for tens of thousands of years.

He knew that even if he left this place, he would not be able to find a safe place to study the Origin Principles in seclusion.

And it won't be long before he's discovered again.

The reason is the omnipresent restriction of the realm, yet he cannot sense the existence of the realm.

If he could have found a safe place to cultivate in seclusion, why would he have waited until today?
He had long ago sensed the existence of the Source Law and the Dimensional Realm.

Now that he has captured Qi Yuan, he also possesses Qi Yuan's written insights into the Origin Laws and Realms.

Lan Xiaobu desperately needs a quiet place.

The best place would have been Qi Yuan's Chongyuan Cave, but unfortunately he couldn't restore the cave's spatial restrictions.

Lan Xiaobu believed that it wouldn't be long before people knew about the problems in Qi Yuan's cave.

Sure enough, within just two days, someone discovered the problem with Qi Yuan's cave.

In a short time, a dozen or so people arrived outside Qi Yuan's cave.

Everyone's expression was extremely solemn.

Lan Xiaobu has been chased by them for so long, and apart from when he first arrived and Lan Xiaobu ambu severely injured Pang Buzi, no other powerful figure in the Chaos Center has been ambushed by Lan Xiaobu.

Now, Qi Yuan's cave has been attacked, and he has also disappeared.

It's obvious that Qi Yuan has been captured by Lan Xiaobu.

After everyone confirmed that Lan Xiaobu had completely drained the chaotic Dao veins from Qi Yuan's cave, a effeminate man sighed:
"It seems that Lan Xiaobu knew we would separate after he escaped, and he probably planned to hide with the Great Abyss Saint long ago."

His name is You Luan Kong, and he cultivates the Netherworld Nine Paths Technique, which is also the ninth step of the Great Dao.

However, he was not among those who ambushed Lan Xiaobu this time.

"How cunning! He launched a sneak attack right under our noses. None of us expected him to do something like this."

"If he weren't cunning, do you think we would need to keep him captive for tens of thousands of years? Or keep him under our constant surveillance?"

……

The cultivator with a few straws on his head stepped forward: "Everyone, now that Qi Yuan has been in trouble, what we need most now is to discuss how to handle this matter."

“What the Holy Immortal Qinghe said makes sense. We are of no use here. Lan Xiaobu has long since escaped to who knows where.”

Immediately, someone stood up and echoed this sentiment.

After some discussion, the group left again.

"Your Majesty Qinghe, have you made any discoveries?" Someone asked as soon as the group left.

Qinghe Shangsheng sneered: "This Lan Xiaobu is indeed clever. He knows he has nowhere to go. Although the center of chaos is vast, there is no place for him to hide."

If I'm not mistaken, after we leave, Lan Xiaobu will definitely go back, and might even hide in Qi Yuan's cave to cultivate in seclusion.

You Luan Kong smiled and said, "I agree with Qing He Shang Sheng. I also believe that Lan Xiao Bu will definitely return to Qi Yuan's cave, and may even go into seclusion in Qi Yuan's cave to comprehend the realm."

"Shall we go back and wait now? We absolutely cannot let this person comprehend the existence of the Realm." Pang Xi's eyes flashed with excitement.

Although he didn't get along with Qi Yuan, he hated Lan Xiaobu even more.

Qinghe Shangsheng waved his hand: "There's no need to go now. Let's find a place to discuss the Dao now, and we'll definitely be able to trap them in Chongyuan Cave in half a month."

Qinghe Shangsheng's guess was entirely correct. Only one day after they left, Lan Xiaobu reappeared in Chongyuan Cave.

He pulled out Qi Yuan, then pointed at the cave and said to Qi Yuan, "Not long ago, Qinghe, that scarecrow, brought a bunch of scraggly creatures to visit your cave."

They left once they saw you were dead.

They probably never dreamed that I would launch a surprise attack and then go into seclusion here.

"You want to go into seclusion here?" Qi Yuan was taken aback by Lan Xiaobu's words.

Lan Xiaobu said calmly, "Otherwise what? Your Master Bu just wants to find a safe place to go into seclusion for a few years, but you bunch of bastards don't give Master Bu even a moment's time."

"I have no choice now but to seclude myself in your doghouse for a few days to study the dimensional realm."

Qi Yuan had only one thought in his mind: he absolutely could not let Lan Xiaobu go into seclusion in peace. Lan Xiaobu calmly began to set up the array flags.

After about a dozen breaths, Lan Xiaobu suddenly stopped moving.

He tossed a directional crystal ball to Qi Yuan, then stared coldly at Qi Yuan: "I originally planned to search your soul, but after thinking about it, I'll give you a chance instead."

You are now charting a route to escape the center of chaos. Remember, you only have one chance.

"I'll carve it."

Almost as soon as Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, Qi Yuan agreed to Lan Xiaobu's request without hesitation, and began to inscribe the directions on the crystal ball that Lan Xiaobu had given him.

It's normal for Lan Xiaobu to call him out to mark the location.

Determining cosmic positions requires relying on the rules of the universe.

In Lan Xiaobu's realm of immortality, he was unable to pinpoint the location of the center of chaos.

He guessed that Lan Xiaobu must have left a backup plan.

Even if someone corners you here, there's still a place to escape.

After receiving Qi Yuan's location crystal ball, Lan Xiaobu threw Qi Yuan into his own Realm of Immortality and then quickly fled.

Continue your seclusion in Qi Yuan's cave?

Heh, Lan Xiaobu wants to live a few more years.

The saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" only needs to be done once.

Almost the instant Lan Xiaobu left, Qinghe Shangsheng received a message from Qi Yuan. He laughed and stood up:
"Qi Yuan has given the message that Lan Xiaobu is indeed planning to go into seclusion in Qi Yuan's cave. I have no doubt that this person is very bold."

"Lord Qinghe, shall we go now?"

"No rush, let's wait a few days."

Half a day later, Lan Xiaobu stopped outside the vast Qingyuan Plain.

This is the location of the cave dwelling of the Holy Qinghe.

In the vast Qingyuan Plain, all the rice is the highest grade of Shenghe rice.

These are all wild rice seeds cultivated by the Qinghe Shangsheng, and each one is priceless.

Qinghe Shangsheng nurtured thousands of miles of plants.

For Lan Xiaobu, he had long wanted to get rid of Qinghe, that old bastard, Shenghedao.

After all, he was always the first to chase after that old bastard, but unfortunately, he never had a chance to succeed.

These barren rice seeds are the lifeblood of the Qinghe Sage.

This time, he was certain that Qinghe, that bastard, would receive Qi Yuan's message and then go to Qi Yuan's Chongyuan Cave to ambush him.

This is also why he let Qi Yuan out to mark the location, so that Qi Yuan could send out the information.

These old bastards at the center of the gods, taking advantage of his ignorance of the source laws, send messages through the source laws.

Since we don't understand, we should make use of what we don't know.

The vast Qingyuan Plain was locked by the boundary, so Lan Xiaobu did not act rashly.

He doesn't understand the source rules or the boundaries.

A forced attack is not advisable, or perhaps he hasn't even opened the opponent's spatial boundary yet, and that old bastard Qinghe Shangsheng has already returned.

So after arriving here, Lan Xiaobu returned to his own Great Dao World, the Realm of Immortality.

Upon entering the Realm of Immortality, Lan Xiaobu didn't say a word, but simply pointed a finger at Qi Yuan's brow.

Qi Yuan was greatly alarmed:

"Fellow Daoist Lan, let's talk this out. I, Qi Yuan, am willing to obey any of your orders..."

Qi Yuan felt Lan Xiaobu's Daoist thoughts seep in, which frightened his primordial spirit so much that it trembled.

Lan Xiaobu didn't understand the Source Laws, and he didn't even dare to imagine the terrifying pain involved in the soul search.

More importantly, if Qi Yuan's soul is searched by someone like Lan Xiaobu who knows nothing, can he still survive?
Lan Xiaobu's face darkened: "I was kind to you and even let you out for some fresh air, but you actually sent out a message, allowing those old bastards like Qinghe to surround me."

Now that your Dao foundation is severely damaged, your cultivation level has dropped by dozens of levels, and your lifespan is less than a few hundred million years, do you think I would let you go?

Qi Yuan wasn't an idiot. As soon as he heard Lan Xiaobu's words, he knew he had been used.

Lan Xiaobu looked so lively and energetic; he didn't look like he had been attacked at all.
"Fellow Daoist Lan, I really didn't send out any messages. If there's anything I can help you with, just say so, and I promise to do my best."

Qi Yuan's tone was very uneasy.

He was genuinely worried that Lan Xiaobu would perform a soul search on him.

Lan Xiaobu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since I'm as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, I'll trust you one more time."

Remember, don't let yourself regret it.

After saying that, Lan Xiaobu grabbed Qi Yuan by the neck and left the Realm of Immortality.

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly. His Daoist principles and spiritual essence were all imprisoned, and his divine sense was confined to a certain spatial range.

If Lan Xiaobu had done that before, how would he have had the chance to send the message?

Lan Xiaobu told him not to let himself regret it, and he understood what she meant.

However, Qi Yuan soon realized something was wrong; this seemed to be the vast Qingyuan Plain of the Qinghe Supreme Saint.

Qi Yuan suddenly felt uneasy. Could it be that Lan Xiaobu would ask him to help open the Ten Thousand Mile Green Plain of Qinghe Shangsheng?

If that's the case, even if he escapes from Lan Xiaobu's clutches, it's not much different from being dead.

The ancient rice seedlings in the vast Qingyuan Plain are deadly to anyone who touches them.

Let alone thousands of miles, even if he were to touch just one plant, he wouldn't survive.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
