Chapter 1357: Track

In a forbidden area in the chaos, Ai Ruisi carefully looked around. His expression was slightly perturbed.

“Ai Ruisi.” Suddenly, a voice was heard.

Ai Ruisi’s body trembled. He raised his head and looked into the distance. He hurriedly said, “Greetings, Sir Baili.”

Not far from Ai Ruisi was an old man dressed in a grey robe. His gaze was deep, like a black hole in the universe.

“Ai Ruisi, why have you come looking for me?” His voice rang out once more.

Ai Ruisi hurriedly knelt down. “Sir Baili, you have to stand up for us! You and Master were as close as brothers, and you created the Divine Mountain Nation together. You definitely won’t watch it be destroyed, right?”

The elder frowned slightly, “If you want me to take revenge for Divine Mountain, don’t even mention it. That person is simply too powerful. Even if the 3 Dictators were to join forces, they wouldn’t be a match for him. Even if I were to face him, I wouldn’t have the slightest bit of confidence.”

He had a close relationship with the Divine Mountain’s great ancestor, but he would not risk his life for the sake of a dead person.

“Sir Baili, I’m not asking you to take revenge.” Ai Ruisi was sobbing. “That person is simply too mighty. Even Master died at his hands. Even if we wanted to take revenge, we wouldn’t be able to do so. Instead, we would lead the Divine Mountain Nation into the abyss. Therefore, after Master died, I discussed it with a few elders of the Divine Mountain Nation. We quietly sealed the nation’s door and hid in a secret place in the chaos.”

“If that’s the case, why did you come looking for me?” The elder asked calmly.

Ai Ruisi said with a sorrowful face, “We’ve already given in, but Ou Yangming isn’t willing to give up. He’s planning to destroy the Divine Mountain Nation and uproot us!”

“Why do you say that?” The elder asked again.

“I have a friend who secretly transmitted a message to me. During these hundred years, a force has been searching for the whereabouts of the Divine Mountain Nation. Those people are all lone travelers in the chaos, and there are many of them. To be able to mobilize so many people to search for us, I think it must be that person who’s secretly instigating us.”

Ai Ruisi heaved a sigh of relief, “We’ve hidden ourselves well. It won’t be easy for them to find the whereabouts of the nation. Even so, that person is too powerful. If he finds another nation and joins forces with them, the entire chaos will be their eyes and ears. The Divine Mountain Nation will be found by them sooner or later.”

This was what Ai Ruisi was worried about. No matter how well they hid themselves, it was impossible for them to be flawless. If the whole chaos was Ou Yangming’s eyes and ears, it would be troublesome.

“He’s going too far!” The great ancestor clenched his fist.

“Yes, sir.” Ai Ruisi gritted his teeth and said, “I came here this time to boldly invite you out of the mountain, sir. I’m not asking you to fight with Ou Yangming, sir, but to invite you to return to the Divine Mountain Nation. If that person were to kill his way in, with your strength, you could mobilize the Divine Mountain Nation’s strength. You’ll be able to block the other party outside and even gather the entire nation’s strength to kill him!”

The old man pondered for a moment, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

“Sir, the Divine Mountain Nation is also your hard work. There are still your descendants in the nation. Sir, do you really have the heart to let the nation be destroyed by that evil person?” Ai Ruisi asked again.

The elder frowned slightly. The Divine Mountain Nation was created by him and the great ancestor of the Divine Mountain Nation. This was a secret that only the higher-ups of the Divine Mountain Nation knew. The others in the chaos all knew that he, Baili Xuan, lived in seclusion. He focused on cultivation and did not participate in the battle in the chaos. Nevertheless, they did not know that he had such a close relationship with the Divine Mountain Nation.

“Alright, I agree.” After thinking for a moment, the elder agreed to Ai Ruisi’s request.

That person was powerful but once he truly reached the Divine Mountain Nation, it would be difficult for the other party to display his power. He could mobilize the power of the entire nation, and it would not be difficult for him to kill the other Dictators.

Ai Ruisi’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He excitedly said, “Thank you, sir. For the sake of safety, let’s return to the nation now.”

“Alright.” The 2 of them flew off into the distance one after the other.

After they left, 2 figures appeared in the sky.

Big-eared Monkey’s eyes were filled with shock. They had been here for a while, and he had clearly heard their conversation.

Baili Xuan actually had such a close relationship with the Divine Mountain Nation. What shocked him even more was that he and Ou Yangming were so close, yet Ai Ruisi and the Dictator were unable to discover them.

What kind of hiding ability was this?

“Sir, this…” Big-eared Monkey’s body trembled slightly. The strength of this powerhouse next to him was too mystical.

“Alright.” Ou Yangming looked into the distance and said, “Your mission has been completed. As for your reward, I’ll give it to you after I return from the Divine Mountain Nation.”

“Yes, sir.” Big-eared Monkey did not dare to say anything else. This powerhouse that was even stronger than a Dictator could not be stingy with the reward.

“Sir, you should be more careful. Baili Xuan’s strength will increase greatly in the Divine Mountain Nation for sure.”

A Dictator could mobilize the power of a nation. This was common knowledge in the chaos.

Ou Yangming smiled. “Don’t worry about that. You can go back first.”

His voice was still reverberating in the air, but he had disappeared.

If Ou Yangming had killed Ai Ruisi just now and forcefully searched his soul, he should have been able to find the whereabouts of the Divine Mountain Nation. Having said that, there was still a slight risk. If the people of the Divine Mountain Nation sensed that Ai Ruisi had died, they might move again. It was undoubtedly the best choice to follow behind him.

Ou Yangming mobilized the powers of the laws of the alternate universe. If he hid himself, even a Dictator would not be able to detect his tracks.

With the Dictator by his side, Ai Ruisi relaxed his vigilance. After all, he thought that no one could escape the Dictator detection.

After 3 days, Ai Ruisi and Baili Xuan appeared in a remote place.

This was a desolate continent. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the sky was dark.

Ai Ruisi said, “Sir, the Divine Mountain Nation is hidden in one of these yellow sand grains.”

This floating continent was comparable to a planet. It was completely covered in yellow sand, and sand and dust flew everywhere. The yellow sand also had an astonishing destructive power. If a weaker Heavenly Rank powerhouse was hit by a large amount of yellow sand, they might even be injured.

One could imagine how secretive the sand here was. Even if one knew that the Divine Mountain Nation was here, it would still take a long time to check every single sand grain.

Ai Ruisi and Baili Xuan walked forward. The yellow sand whistled and condensed into a huge golden dragon. On the ground, there were sand soldiers with large sabers in their hands. They looked ferocious. They whistled and charged over.

“Disperse.” The yellow sand parted, and the world returned to peace.

Baili Xuan’s words made the world quiet again.

Ai Ruisi secretly clicked his tongue. He walked to a distance and made a gesture with both hands.

The air trembled, and a mirror-like thing appeared.

Ripples were still flashing on the mirror.

“Whoosh!” Their vision blurred. Before the 2 could enter, a black shadow flashed past.

“What’s that thing?” Ai Ruisi and Baili Xuan’s expressions changed. They also quickly walked in.

The Divine Mountain Nation was incomparably huge. In terms of area, the Zhenwu Continent and the Fallen Land could not compare.

There were many powerhouses in the nation. There were also some weak people. If they lived in the chaotic country, the Heavenly Rank powerhouses would not need to send their descendants to the Mystic Yellow Continent. They could avoid the chaotic airflow and allowed the low-level cultivators to live freely.

Not only that but there were also many benefits in the nation.

Regardless of whether it was the spiritual Qi or the perfection of the laws, they were much better than on the Mystic Yellow Continent.

Ou Yangming had seized the memories of the great ancestor of the Divine Mountain. Thus, he knew this place like the back of his hand.

“The secret space-time realm.” Ou Yangming looked into the distance, and his body disappeared.

…

A moment later, a cry of alarm rang out.

“Oh no, someone has broken into the secret space-time realm!”

Ai Ruisi and Baili Xuan had just returned to the nation when they heard a cry of alarm.

“The secret space-time realm, oh no! Damn it!” Ai Ruisi’s expression changed drastically.

He knew that he was the one who had brought the person in just now. To be able to follow behind him and the Dictator without being discovered, it was obvious who that person was.

“Dictator, what should we do now?”

Baili Xuan frowned. “What is he going to do in the secret space-time realm?”

Ai Ruisi replied, “I don’t know. The secret space-time realm is the place where our core disciples comprehend the profound meaning of space-time. I’ve also been to the periphery of that place before.”

‘Could it be that he’s planning to comprehend the profound meaning of space-time?’ Baili Xuan muttered to himself.

Soon, his face turned slightly cold.

“Very well, he wants to bring himself to ruin.

“Let’s go.”

Baili Xuan and Ai Ruisi disappeared again.

In the dark secret chamber, Baili Xuan looked at a white ball of light. His eyes had a sharp light.

“Sir? This Is?” Ai Ruisi asked curiously.

He had been in the Divine Mountain Nation for countless years, but he did not know there was such a place.

Baili Xuan said with a cold gaze, “This is the core of the Divine Mountain Nation. The entire nation’s secret realms, big and small, and all kinds of formations are controlled by this place. Only Dictator Divine Mountain and I know about this place. It’s normal that you don’t know about this place.”

“Why are we here?” Ai Ruisi asked.

At this moment, that person whose name was Ou Yangming had barged into their nation. Instead of mobilizing the nation’s power to kill him, why did the Dictator come here?

“Since he wants to comprehend the profound meaning of space-time, I’ll let him comprehend it to his heart’s content.” Baili Xuan chuckled.

Ai Ruisi did not understand. “Sir, can we kill him from afar here?”

“I’m not sure if we can kill him, but it shouldn’t be a problem to heavily injure him. As long as he’s injured and in our territory…” Baili Xuan’s eyes were cold.

It was not that he did not want to avenge the Divine Mountain’s great ancestor, but Ou Yangming was too mighty. In the outside world, he would have no chance at all. Revenge might cost him his life. If he could do it flawlessly, he would also want to grind the young fellow’s bones into ashes.

After saying that, Baili Xuan stretched out his white palm and held the transparent crystal ball.
