Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming was directly enveloped by one of the teleportation beams.

“Please deposit your treasures!” Immediately, a voice echoed in Xu Ming’s mind.

Without any hesitation, Xu Ming handed over his storage ring—after all, the most valuable thing on him was just a True Dragon Spear, so he naturally didn’t need to worry about the Questioning Dao Palace embezzling his treasures.

“Please choose any inferior Dao artifact as a weapon!” The voice sounded again.

“Long spear!” Xu Ming didn’t hesitate at all.

Whoosh!

Immediately, a storage ring was transmitted to Xu Ming via a miniature teleportation array.

Xu Ming instantly refined the storage ring; it was empty, with only a long spear and a letter talisman inside.

“Depart!”

With a flash of teleportation light, Xu Ming disappeared from the spot and teleported into the Mountain-River World.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

Throughout the Questioning Dao Banquet venue, figures were constantly teleporting away.

Not long after, at a table not far from the heart-of-the-lake island area, two drunken figures were slurring drunken words to each other.

“Brother Niu, those rays of light just now, how beautiful they were! It was as if the heavens were bearing witness to our everlasting friendship, and so sent down ten thousand rays of dawn…”

“But Brother Ma, aren’t we inside the Questioning Dao Palace? Why would there be dawn light here?”

“This… it seems like… the light from the geniuses participating in the Dao-Seeking Battle, teleporting away!”

“Dao-Seeking Battle?” This “Brother Niu” suddenly shuddered. “Eh? Brother Ma, didn’t you say that you were also going to participate in the Dao-Seeking Battle?”

“Yes, so what?”

“Right now, the people participating in the Dao-Seeking Battle have already departed! Why are you still here drinking with me?”

“Hmm? Departed?” Brother Ma said unclearly, “It’s impossible to have departed! Aren’t I still here?”

…

A quarter of an hour later—

“No—” Brother Ma let out a hysterical scream, “Drinking ruined everything!! My Dao-Seeking Battle…”

The Dao-Seeking Battle had already begun, but he hadn’t managed to “get on the bus.”

And the experts and great figures around him were watching the situation inside the Mountain-River World through the water screen images on the wall.

…

Mountain-River World.

Rivers were clear, and trees provided shade.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …

Swish!

Xu Ming steadily landed on the ground.

“This is the Mountain-River World?”

The Mountain-River World should be similar to the Dao-Seeking Demonic Realm, also a small world artificially created. However, Xu Ming felt around slightly but didn’t sense any of the oppressive feeling like in the Dao-Seeking Demonic Realm; it was as if there was no difference from the Endless Continent outside.

“It seems that this Mountain-River World should have been created by a Dao Lord expert!”

When one’s strength reaches the Dao Venerable level, they have the ability to open up a world in the void.

However, the strength of Dao Venerables is limited after all, so the space they open up is not very stable—even weak martial artists cannot survive in the world opened up by a Dao Venerable.

And the small world opened up by a Dao Lord is undoubtedly much more stable. Even ordinary people who haven’t even reached the outer refinement stage can live and reproduce normally inside.

“Dao-Seeking Battle?”

Xu Ming had only one attitude towards the Dao-Seeking Battle—utter contempt!

To win the Dao-Seeking Battle, there were only two things to do: first, gather eight hundred Nine-Colored Stones; second, find the exit of the Mountain-River World.

These two things were, of course, not easy for other geniuses to accomplish. After all, who knew where the Nine-Colored Stones were hidden!

Even Lin Chen, hailed as a “genius of ten thousand years,” would still have to expend a lot of effort to win the Dao-Seeking Battle.

But!

For Xu Ming, wanting to win was simply too easy!—Wouldn’t it be done by simply turning on the “Probe” cheat a few times?

In fact, as long as Xu Ming was willing, he could rely on the “Probe” cheat to directly calculate the best route to complete the Dao-Seeking Battle; and then, by following this route, he could just stroll all the way through!

But that would be too boring.

Besides wanting to win, Xu Ming actually wanted to meet the top geniuses from the three thousand six hundred territories by participating in the Dao-Seeking Battle!

“Let me probe where the Nine-Colored Stone closest to me is first!”

As soon as a probe command was sent out, the Little Cheat quickly replied: “It’s right under your feet!”

“What!?” Xu Ming was stunned. “It’s right under my feet?”

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shu.com!

Xu Ming even unfolded his mental power and penetrated towards the ground.

However, the earth greatly hindered mental power, and Xu Ming didn’t find anything.

“Since the Little Cheat says there is a Nine-Colored Stone under my feet, then there must be one under my feet!”

Since that was the case, then—dig!

Xu Ming took out the standard inferior Dao artifact-level long spear, and the tip of the spear rotated downwards—Poison Dragon Drill!

Boom!

Xu Ming was like a drilling machine, directly drilling down.

Half an hour later, Xu Ming re-emerged from the ground.

“Ten Nine-Colored Stones, obtained!”

Finding Nine-Colored Stones was so easy!—Of course, this was only for Xu Ming.

If it were someone else, even if the Nine-Colored Stone was right under their feet, they would definitely not know.

“However…” Xu Ming thought to himself, “The situation in the Mountain-River World can be seen by the people at the Questioning Dao Banquet! Therefore, I can’t show that it’s easy for me to find Nine-Colored Stones; otherwise, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of others!”

Xu Ming decided to wander around in this Mountain-River World for a few laps first to cover things up.

…

At the Questioning Dao Banquet, the human race’s experts and great figures were all talking and laughing, watching the situation in the Mountain-River World through the water screen.

“Look, which unfortunate child is that from which family, to have been teleported right into a group of demon beasts! Fortunately, he reacted quickly and directly crushed the letter talisman; otherwise, whether he could survive would be hard to say!”

“Indeed quite unlucky! Otherwise, with his strength as a Rank One Dao Lord, he would still have some hope of winning!”

“This is fate! If one’s fate is not good, they can’t blame others!”

…

In the central area of the Questioning Dao Banquet, Inspector Yi Tianxing and Immortal Bai Yu were sitting at the same table.

“I say, Inspector Yi!” Immortal Bai Yu provoked, “The strongest of the six territories you inspect is this Xu Ming, right?”

“Humph!” Yi Tianxing just snorted; he knew that Immortal Bai Yu would definitely not have good words next.

“I heard that his strength is comparable to a Rank One Dao Lord? Not bad strength!” Immortal Bai Yu smiled, “If his luck is very, very good, then he still has a little bit of chance of winning the Dao-Seeking Battle!”

Only with very, very good luck would he have a little bit of chance?

The implication was clearly—no chance at all!

After a while, Immortal Bai Yu suddenly said in surprise: “Eh—Xu Ming seems to be about to run into Ze Shi from our territory! Haha, this Xu Ming, his luck is really not very good!”
