Mu Lianqi said,
When the universe first separated back then, the broken Chaos World was only one corner of the vast universe. In the vast universe, there are many with Chaos World that are not broken. When Du Mo escaped at that time, he hid in the broken Chaos World.

Somewhat understanding, Ling Xiaoshuang asked,
Senior, is this Lost Dao World we are in, a Chaos World that has not been broken…?

Mu Lianqi nodded his head.
Your guess is right. After those experts worked together with Du Mo to kill Du Bu and those seven disciples, they once again worked together to suppress Du Mo, wanting him to hand over the Five-Element Divine Quintessence. However, they ended up in a huge battle in which Du Mo suffered serious injuries. He opened a Chaos World that had yet to be opened and hid inside.
At that time, everyone knew that if they let Du Mo integrate the eight primordial Dao runes in the Chaos World before he returned again, they were afraid that none of them could escape. Therefore, they gathered millions of cultivators to attack that spatial position where Du Mo had escaped from, wanting to break open the Chaos World he had entered.
In the end, they had indeed broken open the vast Chaos World. However, Du Mo was not in that world. I think you should have understood that the Chaos World is where we are in. After this world opened back then, the endless exceptional treasures inside were the vast Chaotic Aura, the Third-step Dao fruits, Connate Dharma treasures…

Dazed, Ling Xiaoshuang sensed the surrounding Dao runes aura. Even though she felt that the laws here were very complete, she still felt that something was missing…
Mu Lianqi looked at Ling Xiaoshuang and said,
You should have been aware that the Heaven Earth Law here is very complete, but there is no Dao. In other words, your cultivation level will only slowly decline and your Dao will forever stay where it is after you come here.

Ling Xiaoshuang responded with a frown,
It’s not right…

However, she then said,
I understood.

The reason that she had said that was that she was only at the early-stage Dao Integration Realm when she arrived. Without the Dao, how could she have reached the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm?
It was only that she had quickly reacted. Reaching the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm had nothing to do with the Dao here. It was because of the Chaotic Lava and the Sacred Yang Pearl. Without any one of them, she could not have reached the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm. In other words, if she broke free from the Sacred Yang Pearl and continued to cultivate here, she was afraid that she would not have any improvements at all.
Mu Lianqi didn’t ask Ling Xiaoshuang what she had understood, but pointed to one direction and said,
You should never go there. Exceptional experts from the Lost Dao World live there. If you go there, I’m afraid you will be pulverized.


Thank you, Senior.
Ling Xiaoshuang bowed and felt that Mu Lianqi had not lied to her.
Mu Lianqi nodded his head and took out another jade slip to hand to Ling Xiaoshuang.
I’ll give you a map jade slip since you’re new to the Lost Dao World. You can try your luck in some places of this jade slip. I’ve marked all the places that you can’t go.

After thanking him, Ling Xiaoshuang asked,
Senior Mu, many experts have gathered here. Why don’t they go out?

Mu Lianqi laughed self-derisively.
Do you think going out is so easy? You might have to surpass the third step if you want to leave the Chaos World. When Du Mo sealed himself in a Chaos World at that time, he also couldn’t come out. Unless there is an exceptional power to break this Chaos World to let him come out. Most of the cultivators here at third-step cultivators. More of them are like me who have degraded to the second step. Heh heh… very soon, we’ll degrade to the first step. After my cultivation level finishes degrading, I should be perishing here. If those people at that time knew that they couldn’t go out after coming in, I wonder if they would still come in.

Having said that, Mu Lianqi looked at Ling Xiaoshuang especially and said,
You said that you came in through the void rift and I know that is impossible. Once those people are aware of a foreign expert like you in the Lost Dao World, they will crazily shred you into pieces and carefully check where you are from. Because the people here have almost gone crazy wanting to go out.

Ling Xiaoshuang already had a kind of respect for Mu Lianqi. If not because of the Sacred Yang Pearl, she would have told him the truth in which she couldn’t tell him.

Senior, did you also join in besieging Du Bu?
Ling Xiaoshuang changed the subject.
Mu Lianqi laughed self-derisively.
When the universe first separated, a nobody like me wasn’t even qualified to meet Du Bu, so how could I join in besieging him? Do you think those heaven-opening experts that Du Bu wanted to kill were good people? In fact, they are the same as him. It’s just that their powers were not as good as that of Du Bu. If they were in Du Bu’s position, they would also have done what he did.
At that time, those heaven-opening experts abruptly opened a Chaos World and millions of cultivators seemed to have poured in. I was just an ancient tree that transformed into a Dao body after sensing the heaven-opening aura and hence cultivated to the third step. My spiritual intelligence was also obscured by those endless treasures, so I also rushed in.


Theoretically, the unopened Chaotic World would not be like this, so why did it become like this? Senior, you said that there are all kinds of treasures everywhere.
Ling Xiaoshuang had even ignored that Mu Lianqi was an ancient tree.
Mu Lianqi explained,
If you want the Dao in the universe to perpetuate and continue, you must have life-force and inheritance. Without inheritance, there is naturally no life-force. The Lost Dao World was because those experts had forcibly opened the Chaotic World and did not experience the heaven-opening aura. Thus, there is no inheritance law. After we consume all the Chaotic Aura inside, they will be no more life-force.
After those heaven-opening experts entered this place and were trapped, they then understood that principle. Unfortunately, it was too late. Just like those treasures, the Dao will also vanish with time. In the Lost Dao World, any cultivation partner can’t have any descendants. When millions of experts entered the Lost Dao World, less than a hundred of them were left. It’s a miracle that I can live until now. Perhaps, it’s related to my body.

Ling Xiaoshuang became silent and also understood why the Lost Dao World had looked so desolate. There were originally many treasures here, but after so many years had passed, no life could reproduce. As a result, the good stuff would all have been consumed no matter how many there were.
Ling Xiaoshuang felt Mu Lianqi’s sorrowful mood and said suddenly,
Senior Mu, maybe someone will open this place and let us go out.

Mu Lianqi smiled.
If you stay here for ten million years, you will know that that is just a fantasy.


No.
Ling Xiaoshuang responded,
Maybe someone will really come in. I believe that as long as he comes in, he will find a way to break this world and leave.


Who’s that? Mu Lianqi asked in surprise.
Ling Xiaoshuang was thinking about Di Jiu. She was wondering if Di Jiu was going to save her, would he also enter the Chaotic Lava like her and let the Chaotic Lava bring him here? She vaguely knew that Di Jiu had a world of his own that was likely not worse than her Sacred Yang Pearl.
At that thought, Ling Xiaoshuang suddenly fought a cold war. She thought that if Di Jiu’s world was not as heaven-defying as the Sacred Yang Pearl and he was melted by the Chaotic Lava, what would he do? Back then, she had seen him rush into the Chaotic Lava and slashed Qian Fuyan with one saber move.
Sensing Ling Xiaoshuang’s anxiety, Mu Lianqi shook his head and wanted to say something. However, his expression changed and he hurriedly told her,
We have to leave quickly. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.

With that, Mu Lianqi’s figure turned into a shadow and vanished in the distance. Ling Xiaoshuang also hurriedly put aside her thoughts and rushed out.
