Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Chaos in the rules began to emerge in many places. Some of the junior cultivators on both sides died directly from the countermeasures of the rules, while others were lucky enough to have their souls taken away with them.

For example, Chen Xixi at this moment is chasing after a soul with great interest.

She felt incredibly lucky. She had just entered the Central Continent and was wandering around aimlessly without really looking for anything when she saw a soul being carried away by something.

In the present day, it seems that nothing has been left of Zhongzhou except for its rules.

Full of curiosity, she naturally followed the spirit all the way.

That unfortunate fellow, whether he belonged to the Heavenly Dao Sect or the Yama Palace, or how long he had been led astray by the rules, showed signs of his soul dissipating.

After chasing for several hundred miles, the light of the rules suddenly stopped, because the soul finally couldn't hold on and shattered.

Chen Xixi was eager to touch the object, but the light flashed and disappeared into the void, making her grit her teeth in anger.

Finally, after obediently landing, he followed Mu Zili's example, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind.

When the Illusionary Realm of Inquiry opened, a soul hopped and skipped around within it. Its exquisite beauty could no longer be concealed. The soul was breathtakingly beautiful, but its restless nature was also extremely peculiar.

She quickly found the source of the light, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurried over to greet the ball of light.

"Hello! Rules."

As soon as she waved her hand, a force rushed towards her. She was prepared and immediately dodged it, then swiftly pounced on it. With a single grab, a burst of light erupted...

……

Wu Jiu and Jiu You were currently standing at the foot of a large mountain in the western region, completely bewildered.

"You go first, after all, you are the Second Hall Master."

Wu Jiu shamelessly blurted out.

Jiuyou's lips twitched. "Damn it, now you know I'm the Second Hall? I've never seen you treat me politely before."

But he also put on a good show, saying, "These rules don't really apply to me, you go first."

This truly stunned the group of cultivators from the Yama Palace. After all, they had searched for a long time and finally found a rule by sheer luck, and now they were being so courteous?

Jiuyou dismissed the group, letting them continue their search, and only spoke after they left, her tone irritating.

"Your acting is a bit over the top, it's too exaggerated."

Wu Jiu knew, of course, that this was indeed quite outrageous, but what could he do? This thing had killed quite a few of their cultivators as well.

Who will touch it is a question.

He didn't want to be scammed.

Do I look like a fool like Di Liuxin to you?

Jiuyou snorted coldly and chuckled.

"This can't go on like this."

Wu Jiu looked worried. Rules are a good thing, but what if he doesn't dare to touch them?
Letting it go like this is impossible.

If they had no regard for the rules, they wouldn't have come here.

But after arriving here, neither side dared to make a move.

"How about we cooperate? Whoever arrives first, the other will act as their protector, what do you say?"

Jiuyou sighed and came up with a compromise: since they both wanted the rules, they might as well help each other out.

Wu Jiu readily agreed. This kind of thing was not hard to find in Zhongzhou. Since they both had the opportunity to get it, there was no harm in helping each other out.

That's the idea, so who should be the first one?

This is ultimately a risky matter, so there was a lot of courtesy involved in deciding who would win.

This was probably the only time the two of them could be so considerate of each other!

Jiuyou sighed helplessly. This endless entanglement was definitely not going to work. Rather than wasting time getting entangled, it was better to be straightforward.

His thinking was far more profound than Wu Jiu's; the fact that the rules were risky could extinguish their hopes.

Naturally impossible.

So it seems that the difference between who comes first and who comes last isn't that big anymore.

The next moment, he had already made his decision and suddenly spoke.

"Never mind, I'll go first!"

Before entering the Illusionary Realm of Inquiry, Jiuyou turned back to remind the other party with lingering concern, "Remember, how you treat me later is how I will treat you when it's your turn to take the rules."

If you help me properly, I will naturally help you in return.

But what if you try to cheat me?

Then you should think carefully about whether your physical body will be set on fire when you enter a meditative state!
Jiuyou believed that Wujiu could understand, unless he no longer wanted the rules. After saying that, he entered the Illusionary Realm of Inquiry on the spot. As agreed, Wujiu was already on guard at that moment, ready to make a move at any time.

Within the illusion, Jiuyou had already begun to approach the ball of light. Before touching it, no one could know what the rules were, so he cautiously began to move closer.

Upon contact, the soul was suddenly drawn in, and the next moment, ripples spread across the void outside, revealing a soul beginning to leave Jiuyou's body.

Fortunately, it was not taken away, because Wujiu, who was on guard, had already made a fierce move and directly sent the soul back.

Along with the rules, it forced its way into Jiuyou's body.

The next moment, a bizarre and grotesque scene unfolded.

The rules themselves did not seem to be so easily obeyed; they appeared in various parts of Jiuyou's body, seemingly carrying away his soul.

Wu Jiu raised his large hand as if swatting a fly, his figure constantly shifting, slapping the rules back again and again with lightning speed.

On the other side, Jiuyou gritted his teeth, feeling his soul tremble violently. He now had two choices: either release his soul or continue to endure it.

Wu Jiu became increasingly alarmed as he patted the rules; he had never imagined that acquiring them would be so perilous.

This is a soul!

If we were to discuss the weakest points of a cultivator, the first thing that comes to mind would be the physical body, but in reality, it would be the soul.

Destroying a soul is far easier than destroying a physical body.

Even now, Jiu You is no match for him normally. But if he dares to destroy the soul, Jiu You will be gone.

This made him somewhat frightened. Could it be that even obtaining the rules was so difficult?

……

"The rules aren't as difficult as they say, are they?"

Chen Xixi had a look of lingering satisfaction on her face, as the light was now touching her soul.

A mysterious feeling arose spontaneously.

At first, the rules did show signs of trying to abduct the soul, but once the soul was completely enveloped, the rules stopped moving.

Suddenly, she seemed to see Han Yu's face flash through her mind, but by the time she tried to see it clearly, it was too late.

She muttered to herself that it was precisely this strange occurrence that seemed to quiet down the rules.

"Could this guy be the true Heavenly Dao? Is he giving me special treatment?"

Chen Xixi secretly guessed.

After all, the unlucky ghost had been abducted, but when it was her turn, nothing happened to her.

Before she could think further, the orb of light following the rules was spreading out continuously, as if opening a new world to her.

That world was completely silent and empty; it was nothingness.

Suddenly, a phantom appeared, seemingly a seedling, which grew into a tree.

The next moment, countless trees stood tall, and then projections of all things began to appear. Chen Xixi looked at all of this strangely.

Everything in this world felt incredibly real to her, yet it also gave her a false sense of reality from time to time.

rule?

A rule called false.

At that moment, she seemed to understand something and succinctly revealed the essence of this rule.

At the same time, the whole world suddenly vanished, and all the dust condensed into a tiny seed.

The seed spun around in front of her soul, as if waiting for her decision.

Chen Xixi also fits this rule; her Thousand Illusions are ever-changing and can be mistaken for the real thing.

Now, the rules seem to have yielded, and all that awaits is Chen Xixi's own choice.

If desired, the seed of rules will take root in the soul and return to the body.

If you do not, the seed of rules will once again vanish into the void.

Chen Xixi's spirit, with one hand supporting her chin, was also contemplating whether or not to proceed.

"Fine, I'll take it!"

The next moment, the soul and the seed merged into the body.

"Are you going to give it to me or not?"

Jiuyou was nearly driven mad. These rules were like a madman, wandering aimlessly everywhere. Most importantly, he had just seen a damned face! (End of Chapter)
