Chapter 326: 184 Searching for the Tri-Colored Land

After waiting a bit longer without anyone showing up, Brother Du coldly glanced at Elder Bai Ye, his face ugly, “If nothing unexpected, the person has already escaped. Let’s go to the Tri-Colored Land first!”

If the rules were really effective, it wouldn’t have even taken a quarter of an hour—perhaps a minute would have been enough for the other party to return. Now, not a shadow appeared, it was obvious something had gone wrong.

Elder Bai Ye stammered, “How, how did he manage that?”

The rules of the Heaven Mandate Domain, once set, must be followed, and no one could break them. Unexpectedly, they were broken by this person…

“Let’s go!”

After thinking for a long time without understanding, Elder Bai Ye stopped dwelling on it.

This person suddenly appeared. He had reacted quickly, and there were many skilled practitioners around, but alas, not only did they fail to capture the person, but they also lost Liu Mingyue, Mo Dao, and a sword…

Each time, they were well prepared, but every time the person appeared, he was utterly defeated… I really wonder how such a young man possessed such means!

The more he thought about it, the more urgent his desire to kill the adversary became.

He looked around and said, “Everyone, follow me. Let’s look for the artifacts first!”

With limited time, rather than wasting it, it was better to quickly search for artifacts to enhance their cultivation and strength.

Everyone soon realized this and without further words, quickly followed behind him.

“Sect leader, was the technique that person used just now also Mo Dao?” Following behind, Mu Xiaoqing couldn’t help but lower her voice and ask.

“Mhm…” Mu Hongtao nodded.

The recent “Shi Yunjing,” despite being in a sorry state and not showing many battle techniques, clearly used Mo Dao Destiny to defend against Brother Du’s attacks.

“Does that mean… the person who stole my 100 Destiny Plates before was him?”

Mu Xiaoqing shared her speculation.

“Perhaps not! Elder Bai Ye only appeared after your arrival… It could also have been him!”

Mu Hongtao coldly snorted, “In any case, in a place like this, except for me, no one can be trusted!”

What about companions? Everyone is here for the artifacts; not killing each other on the spot is already merciful enough.

“I understand…” Mu Xiaoqing nodded, no longer spoke, and followed closely behind the others, sprinting swiftly.

Not long after the group had left, the space where Brother Du had been standing twisted, and “Shi Yunjing” suddenly appeared.

“Fortunately, I entered the New World at a critical moment, otherwise, I would have really died here…”@@novelbin@@

“Shi Yunjing” muttered to himself, his appearance changing back to Zhang Xuan.

In this divine domain, as long as he used his strength to flee, it wouldn’t take long before he’d be brought back to the original place by the rules, which he couldn’t break either. To avoid falling into the enemy’s lap, he attempted to escape into the New World, not expecting it to actually succeed.

Although the rules still couldn’t be broken, he had effectively bought some time and successfully resolved the crisis.

“Saints of Galaxy 6-dan and higher… Elder Bai Ye is really sparing no expense!”

Watching the direction the others had left, and recalling the strength of that “Brother Du,” Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes.

With his power at the peak of Galaxy 3-dan and employing the fourth level Mo Dao Destiny, theoretically, he could fight against the typical Galaxy 5-dan and even pinnacle practitioners!

Facing that “Brother Du,” however, he was like a child, utterly powerless, and it was clear that his opponent’s strength far exceeded Galaxy 6-dan!

To hire such a powerful practitioner, they must be paying a hefty price, all to kill him—truly ruthless!

Since it was already a fight to the death, there was no need to hold back.

“Let’s follow and see if there are really artifacts in the Tri-Colored Land. If not, I’ll burn down the New World and kill them all…”

Using the New World’s Strength with Pathos of Heaven would surely face suppression from the divine domain or the Source World, but as long as the benefits were sufficient, he was willing to try.

Pondering this, he lightly tapped his feet and silently pursued them.

Knowing that finding the Tri-Colored Land was most important, and with his current strength not matching his opponents, Zhang Xuan caused no further disturbances. Along the way, he encountered seven or eight cultivators, all searching for artifacts and opportunities. Elder Bai Ye and others, with Brother Du’s advance knowledge, were able to accurately bypass each encounter, thus avoiding any conflicts.

“Sect leader, why do we avoid them? The strength of these people doesn’t seem very strong; if we were to seize the opportunity, we could probably obtain quite a bounty…”

Watching as they took detours spanning over ten miles to avoid others, Mu Xiaoqing spoke again, unable to refrain.

Being able to use Strength, ten-odd miles wasn’t much; however, relying solely on the physical body and considering the mountainous terrain,uresome.

Her question was not meant to encourage seizing by force; it was more that Elder Bai Ye and the others didn’t look like good people who strictly adhered to rules.

“Heaven Mandate Domain was only opened for less than two hours. If we start seizing now, first, these people don’t have many artifacts, so even if we act, the profit wouldn’t be great. Second, it would waste time and could potentially attract the attention and encirclement of other forces if things escalated! Most importantly… the rules within the divine domain are still unclear, and if seizing leads to punishment, the losses outweigh the gains!”

Mu Hongtao explained.

Mu Xiaoqing suddenly realized.

No wonder these people were so cautious. It turned out they were afraid.

Once the journey through the divine domain was nearly over, everyone would surely be fiercely seizing artifacts. For those who obtained artifacts, the only thing to do was to hide them until the divine domain collapsed and then rapidly escape!

For now, the gains from seizing were far outweighed by searching for artifacts.

With no further delays, the group quickly advanced, and two hours later, they arrived at an arc-shaped hillside.

Inside the Heaven Mandate Domain, there was neither sun nor moon, hence no division between day and night. Using the ambient light from the sky, the group looked toward the hillside, which spread out in two arcs, resembling camel humps.

On the camel humps, there weren’t many tall trees, only a layer of cyan-gray rocks and some sparse grass, making it look somewhat barren.

They quickly reached the top of the slope.

Mu Xiaoqing looked around, besides rocks and grass, there seemed to be nothing special.

“Is this the Tri-Colored Land?”

She hadn’t even spoken when Ling Yusheng couldn’t help but ask.

“Mhm!”

Elder Bai Ye also observed the area for a while and confirmed it with a smile.

“Are there artifacts there?”

Ling Yusheng rolled his eyes.

The place was barren, not even vegetation—what kind of artifacts could there be? Ore?

“If artifacts could be found so easily, they would have been taken long ago… The Tri-Colored Land needs to be activated first. Only after activation can they be found!”

Elder Bai Ye explained.

“Activated?”

Ling Yusheng looked puzzled, “Do you know how?”

“Of course!”

Elder Bai Ye nodded, took a few steps to the center of the hillside, and stood on a rock while looking around, seemingly searching for something.
