After realizing this, Lan Xiaobu immediately began moving his ruleless array flags. The Fortune Saint attacking the Tianji Bone dojo clearly hadn’t noticed the subtle changes in the spatial rules. Even if he did, he likely attributed them to his own assault, as this was Tianji Saint’s dojo, not his.
In a short time, Lan Xiaobu used the ruleless array flags to lock onto the Tianji Bone. If Tianji Saint returned and clashed with this Fortune Saint, Lan Xiaobu could seize the chance to snatch the Bone.
Amid booming sounds, one restriction after another shattered. The bindings Tianji Saint had placed on the Tianji Bone were torn apart one by one.
Lan Xiaobu grew anxious. What if this guy took the Tianji Bone before Tianji Saint returned? Wouldn’t his efforts be for nothing?
As the outer binding arrays around the Tianji Bone were nearly blasted away, Lan Xiaobu couldn’t stay put. He wondered if he should act early.
At that moment, a furious roar echoed, “Gu Yuechen, you dare touch my dojo…”
With the怒吼, Tianji Saint stepped down from the void. Before landing, his Nirvana Sword swept toward the attacker, whom he called Gu Yuechen.
Gu Yuechen, also a Fortune Saint, had deliberately lured Tianji Saint back and feared him not. Before the Nirvana Sword could lock his space, he spun, unleashing a giant axe.
Boom! Their divine dao rules clashed violently, shattering void rules. Nearby unaffected arrays crumbled under the impact.
Lan Xiaobu felt his protective dao rules tremble. He quickly merged deeper into his ruleless array flags. Another hit like that, and he’d be exposed. Fortunately, Tianji Saint’s focus was entirely on Gu Yuechen, ignoring him.
Lan Xiaobu hadn’t known who dared attack Tianji Saint’s dojo, but hearing the name Gu Yuechen, he recognized him as Heaven and Earth Saint, another Fortune Saint in Eternal Life Land.
He hadn’t expected Fortune Saints in Eternal Life Land to turn on each other. This was promising news.
Perhaps to avoid damaging his dojo, Tianji Saint fought while moving outward.
Even so, the clashing divine dao rules still affected Lan Xiaobu, though less dangerously.
For Tianji Saint, if Heaven and Earth Saint weren’t keeping him occupied, he’d have long sensed Lan Xiaobu lurking by the array flags. This was his dojo; no matter how well Lan Xiaobu hid, he couldn’t escape his perception within this space.
“Stop, Heaven and Earth Saint! I never imagined you’d attack Brother Pingyuan’s dojo. You destroyed Imperishable Sea, and now you’re causing trouble at Tianji Bone. That’s enough,” a stern voice declared. Eternal Life Saint arrived with Yingdao Saint and Thunder Saint, surrounding Heaven and Earth Saint.
“Heaven and Earth Saint, you’re a Fortune Saint. There are only five of us in Eternal Life Land, barely enough to maintain stability, yet you stir internal conflict. It’s too much. The unspoken rule is that Fortune Saints don’t attack each other’s dojos, yet you disregard it,” Thunder Saint said, his tone tinged with displeasure.
Heaven and Earth Saint’s gaze swept the four, saying coldly, “Do you four dare claim my Wheel of Time’s loss has nothing to do with you? Or that my dojo’s attack is unrelated? You can target my dojo, so why can’t I retaliate against yours?”
Despite his words, Tianji Saint frowned inwardly. Oddly, Eternal Life Saint and the others shouldn’t have arrived so quickly. Why were they here almost simultaneously?
Hearing Heaven and Earth Saint’s accusation, the four were stunned. Everyone knew Mo Wuji took the Wheel of Time, yet Heaven and Earth Saint suspected them and attacked Tianji Bone. What logic…
Eternal Life Saint’s face darkened, but he stayed silent. His feud with Heaven and Earth Saint was the deepest. If things escalated to a fight, the four could overpower him. With only a few Fortune Saint seats in Eternal Life Land, losing Heaven and Earth Saint wouldn’t hurt them—it might even add a loyal subordinate. This guy wasn’t on their side anyway.
Cheng Qinghan and Heavy Sword Shan’s deaths didn’t matter. In Eternal Life Land, countless aspired to Fortune Saint status. A word from them would draw eager followers.
Tianji Saint said coldly, “Gu Yuechen, a brain is a fine thing, but you lack one. Everyone knows Mo Wuji took the Wheel of Time. You baselessly destroyed Imperishable Sea and now attack my Tianji Bone. Do you think you’re the only Fortune Saint here?”
“If you say it’s Mo Wuji, where is he?” Heaven and Earth Saint demanded sharply.
Yingdao Saint interjected, “Heaven and Earth Saint, you didn’t come just to wreck Tianji Bone. You wanted to know who took the Wheel of Time, right? I believe you know it wasn’t us—you just wanted Tianji Saint to use the Tianji Plate to divine it for you.”
Yingdao Saint left unsaid another motive: Heaven and Earth Saint likely wanted Tianji Saint to reveal the Tianji Bone’s origins and secrets, something they all coveted.
Tianji Saint understood. Heaven and Earth Saint knew the Wheel of Time’s loss wasn’t their doing. Attacking Tianji Bone, beyond personal grudges, was to force him to divine the Wheel’s or Mo Wuji’s location, perhaps even uncover the Tianji Bone’s secrets.
If Eternal Life Saint and the others hadn’t arrived, he might’ve had to comply—not with the Tianji Plate, but his Tianji Dao Rules.
He dared not continue fighting. Not out of fear of Heaven and Earth Saint, but because the Tianji Bone’s binding restrictions were nearly destroyed. If they kept fighting and someone with a cosmic treasure appeared, they could steal the Bone or expose its secrets.
Tianji Saint ignored Heaven and Earth Saint. Divining for him with the Tianji Plate was impossible—it would consume his lifespan and damage his dao foundation. Besides, he no longer had the Plate.
Lan Xiaobu knew he had to act. The group had stopped fighting, likely unable to continue. If he didn’t move now, he’d miss his chance.
He activated the 108 ruleless array flags, forming a teleportation array, and opened the Cosmic Dimensional Model’s entrance.
Boom! Booming sounds erupted in the void, shattering one binding restriction after another.
Everyone saw the massive white bone mountain being pulled, slowly drawn into a dark vortex.
“Courting death!” Tianji Saint reacted first, lunging frantically at Lan Xiaobu.
Lan Xiaobu’s heart raced. If he didn’t stop Tianji Saint, he’d fail, possibly exposing the Cosmic Dimensional Model.
He’d been too hasty. If Tianji Saint had reacted half a breath slower, he’d have succeeded. Lan Xiaobu regretted, but knew he had to block him. He hadn’t expected the Cosmic Dimensional Model to take the Tianji Bone so slowly, inching it in amid breaking rules.
Mo Wuji arrived just in time to see Lan Xiaobu attempting to take the Tianji Bone and Tianji Saint rushing to stop him. If he didn’t help, Lan Xiaobu would fail.
Having worked with Lan Xiaobu before, and with his deep enmity toward Tianji Saint, Mo Wuji didn’t hesitate, unleashing a divine sense arrow.
His Three Arrows of Divine Sense, long unused, were perfect for halting Tianji Saint.
As Tianji Saint crossed the space, before touching Lan Xiaobu’s Longevity Domain, a soul-tearing arrow intent blasted into his sea of consciousness.
It wasn’t from Lan Xiaobu—Tianji Saint was always wary of him and would’ve noticed. “Gu Yuechen, you scum…” Tianji Saint’s form faltered as he cursed.
Halfway through, he realized his mistake. It wasn’t Heaven and Earth Saint. He saw his attacker: Mo Wuji again. But in that instant, both Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu vanished without a trace.
