Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

The city, now scarred and devastated, has lost even its former outline. Overgrown with weeds, if it weren't for the broken walls and ruins lying among the weeds, no one would know that this place was once a prosperous place.

At this moment, many cultivators have gathered here, and many have also fallen.

Di Liuxin glanced at the several corpses sitting cross-legged and gave a cold laugh.

That's absolutely outrageous; how dare they try to seize power that doesn't belong to them?

If they were merely perceiving the rules, how could they possibly die? It's obvious that these are people who crave power but are willing to risk their lives.

Especially those who are still alive, it's likely that they only thought of notifying them after seeing so many people die.

Although Di Liuxin was disdainful, he was actually the same way. After receiving a report from his subordinates, he rushed over without notifying the other three.

He strode forward and, guided by the cultivators below, arrived at an open space.

Instead of sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and entered that long-lost, mysterious illusion...

"Do you think the fourth brother knows that we know he secretly went and beat us to it?"

Jiang Xinyuan said it in a rather awkward way.

The other two sneered. The second brother, Shang Wanfeng, said calmly, "Never mind him. He's always been self-righteous."

Di Liuxin was indeed too clever for her own good, never imagining that there was anything she could hide from them.

They naturally knew about the rule that Dongling City had discovered, but they pretended not to know.

"Let him test the waters first; I'm afraid there might be a pitfall."

Wuxian spoke with a cold laugh, not believing that Yin Wang would be so kind.

At the same time... he was also a little suspicious of the teacher's sudden generosity.

Although the Three Thousand Rules have no master, He always regards the rules as something He has in His possession.

Are we really going to let them get it so easily?

There's probably something wrong with it.

Sure enough, the cultivators below have already run into trouble; those who tried to meddle with the rules have all died.

"This only proves that those below the Divine Realm cannot touch the rules; forcibly interfering will easily lead to death."

Jiang Xinyuan frowned and spoke.

Shang Wanfeng, who was standing to the side, sneered and chimed in, "So this isn't to let the fourth brother, who is at the Divine Path Realm, give it a try too."

Jiang Xinyuan's expression turned strange. After a moment of silence, he hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate?"

If it really is a trap, then the fourth brother will probably fall into it.

"It's alright, the fourth brother has gotten used to it over the past few thousand years, he won't mind."

"That's what Shangwanfeng said."

Besides, no one forced him to go; he volunteered to be the first to advocate for the rules.

You can't blame anyone else, can you?

……

At the same time, just as Di Liuxin almost touched the rules, the scene kept changing.

The next moment, a dazzling object appeared before him, radiating light and exuding various mysterious auras, instantly captivating Di Liuxin.

He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and the moment he made contact with the radiant light, the white light suddenly intensified.

In stark contrast to Mu Zili, Di Liuxin's soul did not return to her body with the light; instead, the light carried Di Liuxin's soul away.

Everyone was terrified when they saw the Fourth Elder's soul being taken away.

Not only were they startled, but Di Liuxin was also filled with fear and trepidation, as this was not what he had imagined.

What about the test?
What are your thoughts?
At least give me a clue, why did you steal my soul?
The scene was bizarre for a moment. Before Di Liuxin was pulled away, he hurriedly contacted his physical body, and the closed-eyed body suddenly flew out like a puppet on strings.

Both were extremely fast, one being a soul flying ahead while the other was a physical body chasing behind.

Di Liuxin gritted his teeth. No one had ever said that rules would run away after being violated, nor had anyone said that violating them would cause such distress. As a result, his soul was now firmly gripped by the rules, and he couldn't break free for the time being.

He was about to try to use his soul to boost his strength and attack the rules, but he stopped himself abruptly, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Now that he is bound to the rules, once his power increases, whether the rules can withstand it is another matter, but his soul will definitely be injured first.

You bastard, is this your trick?
He wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death if it weren't a deliberate trap.

……

The same thing happened in more than one place.

Aren't those junior elders under the Heavenly Dao Sect also at the Divine Dao Realm, just a little weaker? But when faced with the temptation of the rules, which one of them is not tempted?

Just like in the Southern Territory today, when the third rule was discovered, a certain junior elder did not report it immediately, but instead chose to plunder it first.

This move also triggered a countermeasure from the rules.

Even when their strength was inferior to Di Liuxin's, their souls were instantly abducted and disappeared, leaving their physical bodies no time to catch up.

He also never imagined that breaking the rules would be so dangerous.

In the end, his soul was taken away from the realm by the rules and disappeared without a trace.

When such incidents become frequent, they are naturally enough to raise alarm.

The overseas stone platform, outside the Four Extremes Hall.

"I told you there wouldn't be such a good thing; these rules are mostly a trap."

Shang Wanfeng sneered repeatedly. They naturally knew about Di Liuxin's affairs, and of course, their foolish little elders had also been tricked one after another.

If the soul leaves the body, and this continues for too long, even a powerful cultivator at the Divine Path Realm will die.

Di Liuxin might still have a way to escape, but the lower-ranking elders will have to rely on luck.

"It may not be entirely a trap. The rules must be real, otherwise it wouldn't be a scheme, so the danger is also real. This move is probably intended to eliminate us, their allies."

Wu Xian calmly analyzed the situation for a moment before slowly responding.

These three thousand rules are enough to kill both sides' Divine Realm cultivators.

If even a cultivator below the Divine Realm tries to get involved, the scope of the massacre will be even larger.

Even so, people from both sides were still searching for these rules throughout the Central Continent, and even though they knew it was dangerous, they could not escape the temptation of the rules.

"I want to try."

Jiang Xinyuan spoke thus, and if this was all he could do, he probably still wouldn't give up.

Compared to the dangers themselves, anything that won't kill you immediately is generally worth the gamble.

Especially after knowing what will happen, you can prepare in advance.

The three of them were just waiting for someone to test the waters before making their move!
Only now were the three of them willing to leave the overseas region and head straight for the Central Continent.

……

Meanwhile, good news kept coming from the Central Continent. First, the Soul Chaser clone brought Ye Hei and the others back to rest and reported that Mu Zili had obtained the rules.

Furthermore, the Star Moon Sect Master and the Misty Sect Master successively changed their identities and successfully added another Divine Realm expert to the Central Continent.

The old Taoist priest half-jokingly said to Quan Xiaotong, "If it weren't for the lack of foundation, with the current number of people in the Divine Path Realm, as long as the Celestial Beings don't appear, we would already be able to have a go at both sides."

He saw it most clearly. When he first stepped into Zhongzhou to find Han Yu, Zhongzhou was extremely poor. If it weren't for the fact that the two sides were scheming against each other, Zhongzhou could have been destroyed at any time.

Looking at the present, Divine Platform cultivators can be trained one after another, and the ranks of Divine Path Realm cultivators are also expanding.

If we do the math, if the Heavenly Dao can appear, and it can resist the Celestials, then Han Yu can lead them to take care of the remaining base. It seems that there is still a chance of victory.

At least as long as the Heavenly Dao is strong enough, no one below Heaven and Man can do anything to Han Yu.

Even those four idiots in the Four Extremes Hall wouldn't be able to do it. (End of Chapter)
