"It's the Chaos Dojo!"
Yue Hongling's eyes suddenly gleamed with excitement.
Bai Qiulan was also overjoyed.
In their previous lives, when Lu Ye opened the Chaos Dojo, several of the women gained immense benefits, causing their Daos to surge forward rapidly.
Now, Lu Ye clearly hadn’t yet reached the Seventh Heaven, yet the Chaos Dojo had already opened? Who had obtained the Chaos Key?
"Master, let’s go!" Yue Hongling said eagerly.
Bai Qiulan, however, hesitated.
"Lu Ye clearly hasn’t obtained the Chaos Key yet. According to the trajectory of the previous life, the Chaos Key shouldn't have been discovered until much later. But now, it seems to have been unearthed ahead of schedule. It must have been Yin Qingcheng who opened it," Bai Qiulan said.
"So what if she opened it? The Chaos Dojo only measures the strength of one's Dao. My Dao of Fearlessness is certainly not weaker than her Dao of Unfeeling Immortality!"
"We should still proceed cautiously!"
"I'm not afraid of her!"
In that instant, a divine light emerged from Yue Hongling’s body and vanished into the void.
Bai Qiulan continued to frown slightly, but she couldn't let Yue Hongling go alone. After confirming that the surrounding formation was secure, she too unleashed a divine light from her body and headed toward the Chaos Dojo.
Countless Daos, countless cultivators, all those who had confidence in their Daos, surged toward the Chaos Dojo.
The Dao was something indescribable and intangible.
If you comprehended your Dao, it was complete and powerful.
If you did not comprehend it, it was weak and insubstantial.
Even if one had been reborn, they didn’t need to re-cultivate their Dao. The Dao was already within them. The only issue was that their current strength wasn’t sufficient to fully unleash the power of that Dao.
The Dao was like memory, like knowledge.
As long as your memory existed, as long as your knowledge remained, as long as your comprehension and insights persisted, then the Dao would never disappear.
This was the Dao!
And the Chaos Dojo was the place where the Dao could be manifested!
Thus, within the Chaos Dojo, Yue Hongling would be incredibly powerful, Bai Qiulan would also be immensely strong. Among the eight women, except for Shangguan Huanling, and the deceased Jiang Die and Zhuque, the remaining women would all be formidable!
Of course, Lu Ye was the strongest.
This Chaos Dojo was practically tailor-made for Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's Daos coalesced into his form. All the light around him faded as he entered the Chaos Dojo.
The world here was gray and boundless, space infinitely turning and distorting. With one step, a whole new void could appear before him. With another, he might still be in the same spot.
Looking up, he saw countless nascent Daos of various colors winding and weaving through the void.
One after another.
Lu Ye...
Despite their myriad colors and the many profound auras they emitted, these nascent Daos truly reminded him of... bean sprouts.
Why did Lu Ye have such vivid memories of bean sprouts?
Because back on Earth, in the orphanage, bean sprouts were his daily fare. Noodles with bean sprouts, fried bean sprouts, cold bean sprouts, stir-fried bean sprouts...
He practically turned into a bean sprout himself.
Suddenly, more rays of light appeared, transforming into humanoid forms. Unlike Lu Ye, whose Dao had completely merged into one and emitted no light, these people radiated various colors.
They all seemed to know each other and turned to look at Lu Ye.
"Hmm? Daoist friend, why isn’t your body glowing? What kind of Dao are you cultivating?" a curious cultivator asked.
Lu Ye glanced at the group. He didn’t recognize any of them. He merely nodded slightly, smiled, and his figure vanished.
"Huh? Didn’t even say a word?"
Suddenly, a terrifying aura descended.
A colossal figure stretched across the Chaos Dojo, as vast as a divine dragon.
All those with Daos similar to this one felt an instinctual urge to bow and submit.
"An Emperor!"
"An Emperor has appeared!"
Everyone was shocked. No one expected that an Emperor would actually descend upon the Chaos Dojo.
An Emperor was someone who had cultivated their Dao to the utmost peak.
For an Emperor, the Chaos Dojo held little value. Their Daos were already at the pinnacle, and even the purest Dao intent within the Chaos Dojo wouldn’t provide them with much progress.
Yet, an Emperor had arrived!
And that Emperor was none other than Jiang Tianming of the Jiang Clan.
Lu Ye’s image manifested in the void as Jiang Tianming’s cold voice echoed:
"Anyone who discovers this man and informs me, the Jiang Clan will offer a generous reward!"
The group that had seen Lu Ye earlier stared at the massive projection in shock.
This...
Wasn’t that the rude man they had just encountered?
"W-We... mmph..."
A young man was about to shout, but the person beside him quickly covered his mouth.
"Are you crazy? The kind of person who’s being hunted by an Emperor is not someone you can provoke! Keep quiet!"
The young man was stunned, but then he quickly nodded.
"Thank you, Senior Brother. I almost lost my head just now."
"Stay low and cultivate. This is a clash of titans. Regardless of who wins or loses, the causal backlash is not something you can bear!"
The two were still conversing when a thunderous roar echoed through the void.
"He's here!"
"Boom!"
Daos reverberated through the void as Jiang Tianming ripped through the space, charging toward the direction of the shout.
Indeed, that person had seen Lu Ye.
Lu Ye’s expression remained unchanged as he vanished once more, his form blending into the ever-shifting void.
"Finally found you!"
Jiang Tianming’s face was filled with elation.
This was the Jiang Clan’s mortal enemy!
A mere cultivator from the Third Heaven had incited the wrath of an Emperor from the Seventh Heaven.
In terms of overall realm, the difference between them was nearly twenty layers.
How terrifying was that gap?
One could say that the Jiang Clan was truly going all out to kill Lu Ye.
Compared to Jiang Tianming, Lu Ye’s strength was like a firefly trying to outshine the moon, a water-strider trying to challenge a dragon.
Many experts watched on, some of them frowning.
In their hearts, Jiang Tianming’s current behavior was truly demeaning.
What was this? An Emperor chasing down a... what was it again? Some minor realm they could hardly remember. Causality Realm—a stage they had crossed centuries or even millennia ago.
Some felt a chill run down their spine. Damn, the Jiang Clan was truly not to be provoked.
If a mere Causality Realm cultivator angered them and attracted an Emperor’s pursuit, then what if a slightly stronger cultivator offended them? Would they bring out their Imperial Artifact?
Wasn’t that a bit excessive?
Yet, some couldn't help but feel envious.
If only their sects protected their own as fiercely as the Jiang Clan did!
"I’m going to kill him!"
Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan had just entered the Chaos Dojo when they saw Jiang Tianming pursuing Lu Ye. Enraged, Yue Hongling immediately prepared to charge forward and shatter Jiang Tianming’s Dao Heart.
But Bai Qiulan grabbed her arm.
"Calm down! Don’t forget what kind of Dao Lu Ye cultivates. Do you really think a mere Emperor can catch him? He’s running for a reason!"
