Chapter 250: Mixed Origin Dao Scripture: Early Stage of the Fourth Layer

"The sealed world, I have arrived."

"What a feeble aura, what a feeble world, hahaha."

Du Xu Zi entered the sealed world, a place like a miniature world; its spiritual energy density is thin, not even one‑tenth of that of his own world, and its Dao resonance is also incomplete.

The heavenly and earthly laws are even more vulnerable, utterly broken; such a world cannot be cultivated at all.

Or rather, one cannot cultivate to higher realms, nor can one truly comprehend.

Because the heavenly and earthly rules are incomplete, all opportunities for Advancement are lost.

Yet this world is controlled and farmed by many forces; the humans, demonic beasts, and other beings within are all pawns in the various powers' games, one of their methods of competition.

Du Xu Zi spread his arms, greedily embracing the world; in this world, he is heaven and earth.

This is his first time coming to this world; previously it was governed by Di Wu Chong Shan, and he had no chance to enter, nor to intervene—Di Wu Chong Shan does not allow him to intervene or even inquire about any information.

"Di Wu Chong Shan, you didn't see it coming, did you? You've guarded against me all your life, yet I have entered this world. Go die in peace; all of yours, all of your dreams, I will fulfill for you."

"I am the ruler's strongest assistant, and also a future member of the Mu Long family."

"Since I have come to this world, I will naturally avenge you; consider it my gratitude toward you."

"Hahaha."

Spirit Sword Sect.

The Spirit Sword Daoist lowered his head, looking at the disciple before him.

He extended his hand, a point, and the decay on Ming Jianzi vanished completely; the injuries on his body also healed.

Ming Jianzi clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, master."

The Spirit Sword Daoist nodded, "Di Wu Chong Shan is dead?"

Ming Jianzi nodded, "Yes, master, he is dead, he died before me."

The Spirit Sword Daoist pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, for these years you should not go out, stay within the Faction."

"Di Wu Chong Shan is dead, that person will not stop."

"He has already sent people into this world; soon, a storm of blood and carnage will erupt."

"Stay within the Spirit Sword Sect; he does not dare to do anything to you."

"Are you sure Di Wu Chong Shan is dead?"

Ming Jianzi hesitated briefly and said, "Master, I do not know whether he is dead; I suspect he cannot be alive."

The Spirit Sword Daoist assessed the disciple and understood his unspoken secret.

He waved his hand, no longer probing, nor forcing the disciple.

"Alright, I will not ask you further; since you have your grievances, I will not inquire about the details."

"How is your master uncle, she?"

Ming Jianzi's eyes showed gratitude toward his master, and he quickly replied, "Uncle, she is fine, the Technique on her body is no longer so frightening; it seems she has found a way to suppress the Technique."

"Is that so?" The Spirit Sword Daoist closed his eyes, murmuring, "No wonder she refuses to return; this is also good. If we could fully control the Technique, the Spirit Sword Sect would… greatly increase in strength; this world also would not lack opportunities."

"Heavenly Heart Sect has controlled this world for too long; it is time to relinquish it."

The Spirit Sword Daoist waved his hand, "Alright, you will cultivate, right?"

"Disciple takes leave."

The Spirit Sword Daoist glanced at Ming Jianzi, seeing the seal on the disciple, unable to break it.

It is too profound; he was also frightened—any slight touch to that restriction would cause an immediate explosion.

Recalling the disciple's unspoken secret, the Spirit Sword Daoist realized the restriction was to prevent him from speaking recklessly; it poses no danger to his body nor his life.

The one who set it was not intending to kill him.

Therefore, he no longer forced action; the one who placed the seal has considerable strength.

"Has Du Xu Zi descended? That's fine as well."

"A little chaos in this world is also fine."

"The old guy of Heavenly Heart probably sensed it too; I wonder how he will respond?"

Heavenly Heart Sect.

An old man looked up at the sky.

"Interesting, everyone has taken action; it seems they can no longer hold back."

"This world truly is important, worthy of their repeated interventions."

"However, you are a step behind; this world belongs to my Heavenly Heart Sect."

He, the Heavenly Heart Sect Leader.

Tian Xin Dao Ren.

His eyes stared into the distance.

"Longshe Cheng, border region."

"If you came, you came; my Heavenly Heart Sect will not be entangled by you."

Then, he closed his eyes.

……

In a flash.

Ten days later.

Inside Longshe Cheng, an old man appeared.

The old man rose from underground, unable to find the Wild Dragon Snake Cave Heaven; that Cave Heaven was completely devoured, leaving no trace.

Du Xu Zi's face turned shocked as he said, "The Cave Heaven was devoured; I don't know who used a great divine power, yet managed to erase all traces."

"Di Wu Chong Shan's corpse was not found, nor the cause of death."

"Looks like we need to find the murderer among the living people of the Wild Dragon Snake cave heaven."

"This world is not as simple as I thought."

"The death of Fifth Layer Mountain is not unjust; being able to swallow a cave heaven dweller, its strength is not weak."

"Perhaps, someone will know."

"They raised their head and looked toward Longshe Cheng."

"In that town, someone should know."

"They headed toward Longshe Cheng."

"The Xinran Zhanglao of Longshe Cheng opened their eyes, stopped cultivating."

"Have they come?"

"Indeed, they came for the death of Fifth Layer Mountain; this person's strength is not simple."

"Longshe Cheng must not be thrown into chaos."

"Xinran Zhanglao sighed, gripped their sword, and walked out."

"Outside Longshe Cheng, Du Xuzi stared at the woman before them, Technique crisscrossing."

"That Technique made them feel threatened."

"Spirit Sword Sect person, did you kill Fifth Layer Mountain?"

"Xinran Zhanglao shook their head: 'Whether the murderer is me, you naturally know best; this city, you cannot enter.'"

"Du Xuzi's pupils contracted, their strength could erupt at any moment."

"Hand over the murderer, otherwise I don't mind slaughtering the city."

"Xinran drew their sword, pointing at Du Xuzi."

"Technique surrounded them."

"At this moment, Du Xuzi faced a formidable foe."

"They retreated several dozen meters, yet that Technique still locked onto them."

"Do you want to utterly offend me? Spirit Sword Sect cannot protect you."

"Xinran Zhanglao coldly said: 'This city, I guard it; no one can move; as for the murderer you seek, they are not here.'"

"Hmph, I don't believe you."

"Du Xuzi did not believe her words; the appearance of Xinran Zhanglao indicates this city surely has a problem."

"Xinran Zhanglao will not be polite with them, coldly staring."

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action."

"Clang!"

"Technique, overbearing, drawn from the sheath."

"Enveloping Du Xuzi, that boundless Technique, killing intent, soaring to the heavens."

"Du Xuzi coldly stared at Xinran Zhanglao; at this moment, they felt a urge to retreat."

"That heart began to become active."

"They did not want to fight this woman; at least, they wanted to kill the murderer first, then come to trouble her."

"Hmph, woman of the Spirit Sword Sect, I have remembered you."

"Du Xuzi turned and left."

"Xinran Zhanglao turned and went back."

"On Spirit Medicine Peak."

"Chen Chuyang opened their eyes, the true qi throughout their body retracted inward."

"Within the body, a layer of shackles broke through."

"The Hunyuan Dao Scripture broke through."

"The fourth layer, finally reached."

"My strength has become even more monstrous."
