Chapter 875: Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range

Qingsha Dao Ancestor stared at Yan Jiuyue: "Where are the other three?"

Yan Jiuyue had not yet recovered from the shock of moments ago and answered offhandedly: "I don't know."

Almost the instant Yan Jiuyue finished those words, Qingsha Dao Ancestor's hand pressed against Yan Jiuyue's forehead.

As a terrifying aura burst into Yan Jiuyue's Purple Palace, Yan Jiuyue's Primordial Spirit was wrapped by that aura and began to tear apart…

"No…" Yan Jiuyue let out a shrill scream.

She had never imagined that Qingsha Dao Ancestor would actually perform a soul-search on her.

"Good lad, hidden truly deep…" Qingsha Dao Ancestor withdrew her hand and sneered coldly as she looked in the direction Ding Huan had vanished.

Want to escape her grasp? Don't even dream of it.

"Baihe, we must teleport away from here." Ding Huan stopped, his tone somewhat grave.

"Huh?" Jia Baihe had never been to Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, yet she knew teleporting here was very dangerous.

She had no idea who else Ding Huan had offended besides Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

"Qingsha Dao Ancestor is chasing after us." As Ding Huan finished speaking, he pulled out

a teleportation talisman.

The process of Qingsha Dao Ancestor soul-searching Yan Jiuyue, he had seen it clearly and distinctly, because when he left, he had casually carved a few monitoring array patterns.

Even someone as uninvolved as Yan Jiuyue—who was moreover Fengyu Dao Ancestor's person—Qingsha Dao Ancestor could still soul-search without the slightest scruple.

If he were caught by Qingsha Dao Ancestor, even a fate worse than death would not suffice to describe his situation.

But Ding Huan immediately put away the teleportation talisman; he raised his hand and smoothed flat the law ripples in the surrounding space, then brought Jia Baihe along as he executed Heart Escape to leave.

He did not have a directional teleportation talisman in hand.

Where he would teleport to, Ding Huan himself did not know.

If by some accident he teleported right into a crowd of Tianmeng people, that would be a fine joke.

He dared to use Heart Escape, unafraid that Qingsha Dao Ancestor would catch up to him.

In terms of cultivation, the gap between him and Qingsha Dao Ancestor was indeed vast.

But in terms of mastery over the laws of heaven and earth, Ding Huan believed even Qingsha Dao Ancestor might not necessarily be stronger than him.

The instant Ding Huan left with Jia Baihe, Qingsha Dao Ancestor appeared at the very spot where Ding Huan had been standing.

There was not the slightest ripple in the space here; clearly, all law ripples had been smoothed away by Ding Huan.

A trace of mockery curled at the corner of Qingsha Dao Ancestor's mouth; she suddenly bent

at the waist, sniffed around, and then her figure flashed, vanishing once more from the spot.

An hour later, Qingsha Dao Ancestor stopped above a massive boulder, her face dark and ugly, for at this moment she had lost her target.

Yet before her appeared a Tianmeng person.

This Tianmeng person stared fixedly at Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

Qingsha Dao Ancestor likewise did not make a move.

Although she could kill this Tianmeng person at the Fourth Step of the Great Dao before her, she also knew clearly in her heart that the moment she struck, the next instant she might well be caught in an encirclement of Tianmeng people.

She did not fear an encirclement of Tianmeng people, but right now she did not have that much time to spend here.

Qingsha Dao Ancestor's figure flashed, and she teleported away with great decisiveness.

At this point she was all the more convinced that Ding Huan carried an enormous secret.

She had chased Ding Huan all the way here, not because of spatial law ripples at all, but based on her sensitivity to spatial auras.

Even so, the aura Ding Huan left behind in space grew fainter and fainter, until it vanished entirely.

Even she, a Dao Ancestor, could not accomplish such a feat—how could Ding Huan possibly do it?

Added to that, Ding Huan might have a Chaos treasure on him; even if she paid an enormous price to capture him, it would be worth it.

"Brother Ding, is that woman still chasing us?" Seeing Ding Huan bring her to a stop between two massive boulders, Jia Baihe asked carefully.

She should have stopped.

Ding Huan had deliberately escaped past that Tianmeng person precisely to let that Tianmeng person block Qingsha Dao Ancestor; in fact, he had not miscalculated.

Qingsha Dao Ancestor had indeed been blocked by the Tianmeng person.

Jia Baihe breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what do we do? Still going to the Tianmeng Clan?"

Ding Huan shook his head: "If we enter the Tianmeng Clan from the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, it would probably be tantamount to seeking death.

That Fengyu Dao Ancestor simply never cared about our life or death; he didn't even care whether we had entered the Tianmeng Clan or not.

That old thing only cared that his Fengyu World had sent four people into the Tianmeng Clan, so that he would no longer need to send anyone else to patrol the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range."

Jia Baihe nodded.

Even if Ding Huan did not say it, she knew most of these Dao Ancestors were hardly good sorts.

Just as Ding Huan was thinking about how to search for a Dao Vein, he felt the ground tremble slightly.

Then a surge of vast Dao-rhyme aura rose from the heavens; the rich essence of heaven and earth, even from a great distance, Ding Huan could sense it clearly.

"Boom!"

As if something had exploded, a streak of Bai Mang shot straight up into the sky.

Immediately after, several dozen human figures seemed to appear out of thin air, rushing toward where the Bai Mang was.

"This is a Dao Vein…"

Even though Jia Baihe had never extracted a Dao Vein, she knew this was the commotion of a Dao Vein being extracted.

Ding Huan drew in a sharp breath.

Within that Dao-rhyme aura he sensed the presence of Zuo Shanyi.

It could be confirmed—it was Zuo Shanyi extracting the Dao Vein.

He was still in the middle of fleeing, and Zuo Shanyi had already begun extracting a Dao Vein—this fellow was truly formidable.

The key issue is that the grade of this dao vein likely surpasses the mid-grade dao vein he had obtained before.

What made Ding Huan even more wary was why such a huge commotion occurred after the dao vein from this Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range was extracted.

Ding Huan guessed that Zuo Shan Yi probably hadn't expected that after a dao vein was extracted, nearly half the people on the mountain range could sense it.

Fortunately, Zuo Shan Yi had paved the way for him.

Otherwise, the one trapped in the Tianmeng Clan's encirclement this time would have been him, Ding Huan.

"The dao veins here are a bit strange."

While speaking, Ding Huan took out a directional jade slip.

This jade slip had been given to him by Qi Qi.

From the jade slip's location, Ding Huan could tell it was also within this Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, and belonged to the Tianmeng Clan's territory.

This made Ding Huan somewhat puzzled — why didn't the Tianmeng Clan have anyone guarding that place?

Just because the spatial laws were chaotic and one careless mistake could tear a person apart?

Even so, as long as there was a pile of dao veins in that place, someone should be guarding it.

"Baihe, let's change locations."

Ding Huan decided to go over first and see whether he could actually enter and extract dao veins.

If it really didn't work out, he would return to the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range again.

Otherwise, with the commotion of extracting dao veins here in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, he might be surrounded by Tianmeng Clan powerhouses the moment he started extracting.

Jia Baihe naturally had no objections.

As long as she stayed by Ding Huan's side, under Ding Huan's domain, there was virtually no dao rhyme fluctuation at all.

Zuo Shan Yi's extraction of the dao vein caused too much commotion, attracting all the nearby Tianmeng Clan cultivators and human cultivators.

Ding Huan and Jia Baihe didn't even need to conceal their movements — no one paid any attention.

Ding Huan's original plan was to hurry to the location Qi Qi had given, then observe whether there were actually dao veins in that place.

But Ding Huan and Jia Baihe had walked less than an incense stick's worth of time before he stopped.

"Baihe, stop — there are dao veins here." Ding Huan called out to Jia Baihe.

Saying the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range was full of dao veins everywhere was just an exaggeration.

If the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range really had dao veins everywhere, then human cultivators and Tianmeng Clan cultivators would certainly first search for dao veins in their own respective territories.

Even if the two sides were to clash, it would only happen after each had finished extracting all the dao veins in their own territory.

In fact, finding a dao vein in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range was not easy either.

Otherwise, someone as deeply scheming as Zuo Shan Yi wouldn't have been so eager to extract it the moment he discovered a dao vein.

"How could there possibly be dao veins here?" Jia Baihe looked in disbelief at the location Ding Huan was pointing to.

This place was a stretch of open, barren gray earth.

Normally, where there were dao veins, spiritual plants would surely flourish.

"I wouldn't misread this." The reason Ding Huan felt there were dao veins here was that when he passed through this place, he sensed a difference in the world's rules.

The laws of heaven and earth in this space were thinner than elsewhere.

The laws of heaven and earth in this space were thinner than elsewhere.

Ding Huan had never extracted a dao vein himself, but he had heard about some of their characteristics.

It was said that when cultivating with a dao vein, the dao vein itself was the best source of heaven and earth laws.

When a dao vein had not had its primordial energy extracted, it would continuously absorb the boundless laws of heaven and earth to grow.

If he hadn't been cultivating the Grand Universe Art, Ding Huan wouldn't have been able to sense the subtle differences in the changes of heaven and earth laws.

Ding Huan had now constructed his own Chaotic Law Sea, and the various law rivers were also in the process of rapid completion.

So when Ding Huan passed through here, he immediately sensed that the heaven and earth laws here were fluctuating, and were somewhat thinner.

This kind of subtle feeling simply couldn't be described in words.

Ding Huan deployed layer upon layer of Spirit-Binding Divine Arrays at top speed, while one array flag after another was thrown down.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Ding Huan's divine sense simultaneously touched two dao veins.

A paired vein?

Ding Huan was overjoyed.

The speed of inscribing the void array patterns became even faster.

In just several dozen breaths' time, Ding Huan had locked down these two dao veins.

Before Ding Huan could extract these two dao veins, two beams of Bai Guang shot up into the sky.

Even though Ding Huan had deployed the Spirit-Binding Divine Arrays, he couldn't prevent this kind of dao vein primordial energy radiance.

Not good.

Ding Huan's divine essence surged, and in an instant between his divine sense, the two dao veins were pulled out from the ground.

Boom!

Almost the instant these two dao veins were extracted, violent dao rhyme explosions erupted.

The ground trembled again and again.

The Bai Mang of dao rhyme that burst out was even more intense.

Ding Huan had no time to clean up the scene, so he grabbed Jia Baihe and fled using Heart Escape.

If he didn't leave now, he probably wouldn't be able to.

Less than three breaths after Ding Huan left, several figures landed at the spot where Ding Huan had extracted the dao veins.

All three were Tianmeng Clan cultivators.

Within the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, the Tianmeng Clan had long seized the initiative.

They had abundant cultivation resources, and combined with their already formidable strength, they gradually came to occupy a dominant position in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

The location where Ding Huan drew out the Dao Vein was closer to the side of the Tianmeng Tribe, so after the Dao Vein appeared, almost no human cultivators came over.
