After the myth

Chapter 1146 Too Late

Mo Wuji shook his head, "Xiao Bu, we don't think we need to wait any longer."

In fact, Lan Xiaobu also understood that if Ding Huan did not teleport over in a short period of time, he would definitely send a message.

Now there is neither a transmission nor a message coming in, which means that Ding Huan has encountered something.

Even if they wait here for a year, Ding Huan may not be able to be teleported over.

“Alright, let’s head to the Vast Primordial River now, otherwise those Realm Lords will probably come. Besides, I doubt the Source Dao Patterns that I’ve used to lock the entrance to the Vast Primordial River will last much longer.”

Lan Xiaobu teamed up with the cultivators from the Ten Directions Universe City and learned some things about the situation.

"I don't know much about the Vast Primordial River, I only know that it's not easy to find..." Mo Wuji had naturally heard of the Vast Primordial River.

This thing is not just hard to find, it has not been discovered in the entire first universe.

The vast primordial river that Lan Xiaobu discovered should be the first primordial river discovered in the first universe.

Lan Xiaobu chuckled: "The vast Yuanmai River is more than just hard to find. I even doubt whether it's the only Yuanmai River in the First Universe."

"Will those realm lords come looking for us?"

"As long as we enter the vast Yuanmai River as soon as possible, it will be useless for those people to come looking for us; they will not be able to enter the Yuanmai River."

The most distinctive feature of the Vast Primordial River is that it is submerged within the Vast Primordial Laws, and it was extremely lucky that I was able to discover it.

Once we enter the Vast Primordial River, as long as we remove my Origin Principle Realm Restriction, the Vast Primordial River will completely merge into the Vast Origin Principle, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Unless someone can decipher the vast primordial laws of the first universe, it would probably require taking the ninth step of the Great Dao.

Of course, it will be quite troublesome when we want to come out in the future.

This vast primordial river was indeed found by Lan Xiaobu.

Although Lan Xiaobu was teamed up with three other people, the Vast Yuanmai River is not something that can be discovered by anyone with eyes.

Most cultivators in the Ten Directions Universe have lost their spirituality. Under the long-term oppression of the various realm lords, they have developed an extremely strong servile mentality.

While this servility ensured their loyalty to the various realm lords, it also restricted their spirituality in seeking treasures.

Lan Xiaobu joined their team, and they provided him with various information and resources.

It was Lan Xiaobu who truly discovered the vast primordial river.

Upon discovering the vast Yuanmai River, Lan Xiaobu immediately used the Source Principle Boundary to lock the entrance to the vast Yuanmai River.

Because Lan Xiaobu wanted Ding Huan and Mo Wuji to come here together to prove the ninth step of the Dao, he did not enter the vast universe river immediately.

He simply said that once his two companions arrived, they would all enter the vast Yuanmai River together.

Then he was stabbed in the back by three of his accomplices.

If it were because Lan Xiaobu wanted to call his companions over and got betrayed, that would be one thing, but the key issue is that these three companions believed they couldn't enter the vast Yuanmai River.

The vast primordial river is meant for the realm lords to cultivate in; their task is merely to find the vast primordial river, not to enter it for cultivation.

Mo Wuji laughed heartily: "If we can enter the vast Yuanmai River to comprehend the origin laws of heaven and earth, why worry about whether we can come out or not? There's always a way out. Let's go in."

Lan Xiaobu casually unleashed several Origin Dao patterns, and a boundless, warm, jade-like river hung before Mo Wuji.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the clear and vast origin principles, made Mo Wuji's eyes widen.

"How about that? Exciting enough, right? I was just as shocked when I first saw it." Lan Xiaobu chuckled.

It is clearly a jade river, but the river water is formed from the primordial principles of heaven and earth, and the vast cosmic patterns from the beginning of creation are almost clearly visible on the river surface.

Some exquisite crystals were scattered along the riverbank, like dazzling stars in the night sky.

Although they hadn't started cultivating yet, the two of them only took a breath, and the vast primordial energy of heaven and earth, containing the laws of origin, increased their auras.

A full ten breaths passed before Mo Wuji gasped, “It’s more than just shocking. If we can’t even prove our own Dao here, then we’re just wasting air.”

"Tch, I haven't lived on air for a long time." Lan Xiaobu was in a very good mood.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in, then take away your Source Law Forbidden Rune, and don't let those bastards find it."

Mo Wuji rushed in first after he finished speaking.

Lan Xiaobu rushed in right after Mo Wuji, and then took away his Origin Forbidden Rune.

"Wuji, let's each take one side."

The vast primordial river has no end in sight. Both of them have their own Great Dao, so it is most appropriate for each of them to stand on one side.

"it is good."

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu split up and disappeared from the entrance in the blink of an eye.

This vast Yuanmai River is simply too vast. Not to mention the two of them, it would be enough even if tens of thousands of people came here to cultivate.

However, those who first came to cultivate naturally possessed the purest and most vast primordial principles.

If too many cultivators enter, the vast primordial source will inevitably be invaded by the mottled Daoist aura, eventually becoming just another ordinary source of primordial energy.

Almost at the same time that Lan Xiaobu took away his Source Law Forbidden Pattern, the vast Yuan Qi River disappeared from its original spot.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, seven or eight figures appeared where Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji were standing.

Although Qu Ba and Kui Feng arrived at the Ten Directions Universe City first, Mo Yuantian had a special privilege: he could teleport directly.

As a result, Qu Ba and Kui Feng entered the Ten Directions Universe City a step too late.

Mo Yuantian and the others wanted to ask the city lord of the Ten Directions Universe City about the Vast Primordial River.

So, in the end, the seven realm lords, along with Bu Shi, a realm lord's servant who insisted on coming along, arrived outside the Cosmic Primordial Vein River. "This is it. I can sense an extremely pure and clean aura of the Primordial Vein," Zuo Yang said loudly.

Nobody paid him any attention.

Anyone standing here can sense that a vast primordial river once existed here.

"That Lan Xiaobu caused the vast Yuanmai River to sink into the boundless Yuan Laws once again." Entropy's tone was somewhat disappointed.

Among all realm lords, Entropy is the most eager for all kinds of top-tier cultivation resources.

If a vast primordial river were to appear before him, he would rather give up all his resources, including the vast primordial mountain.

Qu Ba had the most volatile temper, and he immediately drew his longsword and slashed out.

A tiny crack appeared in the void.

But where is the trace of the vast Yuanmai River?
The rest of the people, including Mo Yuantian, did not move.

They had never seen the vast primordial river, but they were already familiar with its characteristics.

In the beginning of time, they lived in the first universe. To have cultivated to this level today, they naturally integrated the infinite and vast primordial principles.

There are many things in the vastness that they have never seen before, but they can capture information from various primordial principles.

If the vast Yuanmai River had been discovered and was still waiting for them to come and enter, it wouldn't be so precious.

Once the vast Yuanmai River is discovered, someone will need to use the Yuanze Dao Patterns to lock the entrance.

Moreover, this period of time cannot last long.

Once the person who locked the entrance to the Vast Primordial River removes their Source Dao Patterns, the Vast Primordial River will disappear again into the vast universe, and it will be almost impossible to find it a second time.

"Who knows Lan Xiaobu?" Mo Yuantian asked, but his gaze had already fallen on Shen Dai.

Not only Mo Yuantian, but everyone else's eyes were also on Shen Dai.

The rulers of the First Universe disdain associating with ants from other universes.

Given their noble origins, allowing those ants from outer universes into the First Universe would be a defilement of the First Universe's purity. How could they possibly get to know those ants?

Only Shen Dai was a heretic. This guy not only met the ants from the outer universe, but also had his physical body broken by one of the ants from the outer universe.

In short, Shen Dai did almost everything that everyone considered tasteless.

Seeing Mo Yuantian's gaze sweep over, Shen Dai quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Brother Realm Lords, I have indeed heard of this Lan Xiaobu..."

When Shen Dai mentioned that he had heard of Lan Xiaobu, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

"Explain in more detail." In just a few words, Mo Yuantian's imposing aura pressed down on Shen Dai without any hesitation.

At this point, even if Entropy still favors Ding Huan, who is behind Shen Dai, it will not speak up for Shen Dai.

Entropy knew very well that if he dared to interrupt now, he would incite public outrage the next moment.

Perhaps Mo Yuantian won't even need to make a move; someone else will.

Moreover, Entropy also wants to know who Lan Xiaobu is.

Shen Dai said with emotion, "Back then, Lord Ding and I inadvertently revealed that he had a good friend, whose name seemed to be Lan Xiaobu."

He said this Lan Xiaobu was no simpleton; his strength was in no way weaker than his own. Moreover, Lan Xiaobu's personality was somewhat similar to…”

Shen Dai chuckled awkwardly as he said this: "He said that Lan Xiaobu's personality is somewhat like that of Lord Qu. Of course, Lord Qu is righteous and hates evil, while Lan Xiaobu is indiscriminately killing innocent people."

If anything goes slightly against his wishes, Lan Xiaobu will kill him without hesitation.

At first, Lord Ding and I were enemies, but later our relationship became quite good. He told me that if I saw Lan Xiaobu, I should stay away from him.

And don't team up with this person for anything, because if he sees anything good, no one else will get a share.

"Fellow Realm Lords, there's only one way to find Lan Xiaobu: first find Realm Lord Ding."

Shen Dai knew very well that if he said he didn't know Lan Xiaobu, people would definitely notice something was off.

So he told the truth.

As for the fabrication that Lan Xiaobu was a ruthless killer who indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people, it was not a lie to Shen Dai at all.

In his mind, Lan Xiaobu, Mo Wuji, and Ye Xuan were all like that.

As for why I don't think Ding Huan is that kind of person, it's because Ding Huan saved him twice.

No one doubted Shen Dai's words.

If Lan Xiaobu weren't such a ruthless and decisive person, he wouldn't have killed three of his teammates in succession when he discovered the vast Yuanmai River.

But no one found it strange.

If they were to encounter the vast Yuanmai River, they would make the same choice as Lan Xiaobu: to kill their teammates first.

"Lord Shen, go find Lord Ding immediately and tell him that the Vast Yuanmai River has appeared. We hope he will return immediately and join us in finding Lan Xiaobu."

Mo Yuantian immediately assigned Shen Dai a task, and as he spoke, several strands of Dao thought entered Shen Dai's body.

In his eyes, no matter what relationship Ding Huan had with Lan Xiaobu before, as long as he heard about the vast Yuanmai River, Ding Huan would immediately go to find Lan Xiaobu.

As for Shen Dai, he was just a tool.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
