Chapter 963: Chapter 683: Great Thousand Travel
"Chase!" Kunxu Ancestor swung his horsetail whisk and chased into the Ruins Sea.
"A dignified demigod running away in front of a group of Eight Realms cultivators? Who would believe it?" The Sword Demon laughed.
"With the power of one, he scared away the demigod... Fellow Lu, I fear has already become the number one in the Three Thousand Realms."
"Hahaha, Kunxu should step down."
"Everyone, come into my internal world!" Lu Chenzhou suddenly said, "I have already controlled the Eastern Extreme Border Tower. As long as Camilla is still in the Eastern Extreme Territory, I can roughly sense the position through the Causality Dao and quickly bring you there."
Kunxu Ancestor nodded: "Good, I happen to also want to witness the internal world."
Lu Chenzhou’s internal world had merged with the Mystic Sky Thunder Realm, forming a small heaven and earth.
Not only can it hold inanimate objects, but also living beings.
Apart from being smaller and its laws not fully perfected, it was no different from a Great Power Cave Heaven.
Kunxu, Sword Demon, and Sword River Great Saint were quite trusting of Lu Chenzhou and immediately entered the internal world.
Black Boat, Wan Yan Old Ghost, and others hesitated slightly.
Entering someone else’s internal world is almost equivalent to being at the mercy of others.
The world’s rules suppress, making it easy for Lu Chenzhou to kill them.
Dancing Star Sword Demon saw this and couldn’t help but say: "What are you waiting for? With Fellow Lu’s strength, if he had any ill intentions, could you escape?"
The Sword Demon saw through it and decided to follow Lu Chenzhou well in the future, hoping to achieve great power.
"Haha, crude words but true meaning, Fellow Lu’s integrity, be reassured," Sword River Great Saint laughed.
"Then I’ll trouble you," Wan Yan Old Ghost laughed.
Black Boat Ancestor said nothing, and in the end, he entered.
The five looked around within, and the visage of Lu Chenzhou appeared in the sky.
"The rules of the internal world are manifest; while on the way, you may independently comprehend cultivation here, it may be helpful."
"Thank you, Fellow Lu." They found a place to sit and meditate, comprehending the Dao.
Lu Chenzhou then chose the targets for the Seed of Dao, analyzing internally.
"Wan Yan Old Ghost, talent seems inferior to Kunxu, but he can achieve the Third Step, and his Dao is already late-stage Eighth Rank, is indeed someone with great fortune, given a good opportunity, he has hope for great power... can invest." In an instant, a seed fell into Wan Yan’s brow.
Then, he shared Wan Yan Old Ghost’s Fire Dao.
The progress of Five Elements Dao skyrocketed, reaching the Seventh Rank (45%).
"Black Boat Ancestor, good talent, though in the middle stage of the Eighth Rank Dao, as a demon cultivator who has lived till now is someone with great fortune."
A Dao Seed fell in, sharing the Wood Dao.
"Sword River Great Saint, late-stage Eighth Rank Dao, not far from great power, can share."
Sword River’s Dao was the Water Dao.
Thus, Lu Chenzhou planted six Seeds of Dao.
Mo Luo (Destruction), Kunxu (Gold Element), Black Boat (Wood Element), Sword River (Water Element), Wan Yan Old Ghost (Fire Element).
He had previously met with his senior brother and planted a seed of the Earth Element Dao.
Sword Demon was still somewhat distant from great power, so Lu Chenzhou decided to wait a bit.
"Nowadays the Great Universe’s strong are declining, if in the Great Wilderness, the Seed Dao function would be strongest,
to plant before the Four Emperors ascend to great power, wait until the Four Emperors break through, I would ascend on the spot." Lu Chenzhou thought.
After planting all, the progress of Five Elements Dao reached the Seventh Rank (86%), and even Chaos Dao reached the Seventh Rank (92%).
The ascent slowed the further one delved into the Seventh Rank.
But if Camilla could be killed, he could certainly ascend to the Eighth Rank.
Then, after transforming all cultivation methods, he would be a true Third Step powerhouse.
At that time, he had confidence in confronting the demigod alone.
...
"This is truly shameful, were it not for my exhausted Divine Power, how could I flee before a bunch of worthless mortals?"
Camilla landed in a Nameless World.
This was the greatest humiliation since he was born.
"Camilla, what’s the situation? Hurry and make a comeback to kill Lu Chenzhou."
A phantom snake ten times thicker than Camilla descended, none other than the Holy Lord.
"I am currently being chased by Lu Chenzhou..." Camilla said truthfully.
"???" The Holy Lord was dumbfounded, not believing it for a moment.
After understanding, his expression turned gloomy, "I never expected these people to dare to actively hunt a demigod!"
Kunxu Ancestor had previously killed one, but that demigod was already dying, lacking battle power, and had a fallen realm.
Camilla was different; though not at the peak, he was truly at the demigod realm.
Before him, no matter how strong a cultivator was, if not great power, all were mortals.
"It’s all because of this Lu Chenzhou, he’s twice as strong as reported!" Camilla said.
"Avoid the limelight for now; Vilote will soon emerge, you must join forces to kill Lu Chenzhou." The Holy Lord’s figure dissipated.
"Vilote, huh? Then I’ll recover some strength and go find him," Camilla said.
In a blink, three days passed.
On this day, Camilla suddenly opened his eyes, the Ruins Sea cracked open, a figure wielding a big halberd like thunder struck the world.
Boom! Camilla flickered away, not engaging with Lu Chenzhou, disappearing in the Ruins Sea without looking back.
"Lu Chenzhou, we’ll see!"
...
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chenzhou had been chasing Camilla for over a year.
Camilla also seemed to be researching ways to counter his Causality Dao.
The further he went, the harder it was to find traces.
Lu Chenzhou could only continuously use the Enlightenment Stele to boost the Causality Dao, refining it to reach the level of the World Dao.
Yet, accurately finding Camilla was still very difficult.
He suspected that Camilla must have received help from Lord Toad, using a Causality Treasure to obscure her traces.
His brow furrowed, feeling a bit powerless within.
"Friend Lu, is there a problem?" Kunxu asked.
"Finding Camilla is too difficult. If this delays too long, more demigods will emerge and unite; we will surely be defeated." Lu Chenzhou said.
"Friend, you’re using the Causality Dao to track Camilla, right?" Wan Yan Old Ghost’s voice transmitted from an internal world, "I have a powerful cause-and-effect secret method obtained from the Desert Sword Immortal Cave Mansion; you might find it useful. The technique is strong, but the downside is that it’s very difficult."
"Thank you so much."
A Jade Scroll floated over, and after expressing gratitude, Lu Chenzhou delved his thoughts into it.
[You’ve comprehended the secret technique ’Heavenly Patrol’]
In a daze, Lu Chenzhou found himself in the Great Wilderness, his consciousness descending upon a nameless grass on Zhong Mountain.
After some time, Lu Chenzhou awoke.
"Among the True Gods, there’s one skilled in tracking and causality, named Heavenly Dog, a fearsome god... In his youth, Desert Sword Immortal often saw Heavenly Dog flying over Zhong Mountain, feeling its Causality Dao Essence, eventually creating a Ninth Rank method named ’Great Thousand Travel’, which can search for the causality traces left by all things and beings in the universe, perceiving the cosmos with causality, comparable to sharp eyes and ears, capable of discerning the tiniest details!"
’Great Thousand Travel’ is divided into four layers.
The First Layer: Heaven and Earth Wuji.
The Second Layer: Search Vast Distances.
The Third Layer: Heavenly Hunt Dao.
The Fourth Layer: Penetrate the Great Thousand.
Refining to Perfection allows one to comprehend a Great Divine Power [Great Thousand Dharma Eye].
Opening a third eye at the brow, akin to the Heart Eye from Heart Cultivation.
As long as there’s a causal connection with a cultivator, using the Great Thousand Dharma Eye, one can track their location.
"I didn’t expect Desert Sword Immortal to be skilled in causality," Lu Chenzhou murmured.
"Among the Four Sword Immortals of the Universe, Desert Sword Immortal is the strongest, with the deepest foundation. He has witnessed the vastness of the Divine, possessing a variety of Dao types comparable to the Four Emperors. But due to his plant body, cultivation is extremely difficult, and tribulation even harder." Wan Yan Old Ghost said.
’Great Thousand Travel’ belongs to the Heart Cultivation Method.
In this aspect, Lu Chenzhou’s foundation is exceedingly deep.
Sharpening the axe won’t hinder the task of chopping firewood; he temporarily halted the hunting of Camilla, focusing on practicing the secret technique.
In just half a year, he completed two layers and entered the Third Layer.
During this period, Wan Shui Venerable Sovereign and Xuanshan Venerable also brought the Clan’s Sacred Artifact to aid.
The team hunting Camilla grew steadily stronger.
"Having mastered Heaven and Earth Wuji, causality connections aren’t hindered by the isolation between the Three Thousand Worlds."
"Mastering Search Vast Distances means as long as the enemy is in the world beside me, I can immediately sense them."
"And this Heavenly Hunt Dao is impressive, able to draw upon a thread of the Power of Dao through law, condensing into a hound. Even if they practice the same Dao, different individuals possess distinct causality traces and scents, allowing the hound to accurately recognize them and track them."
Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes, the rich Causality Dao Essence directly linking to the Dao.
There, alongside the Great Dream Butterfly, a Daoist Intent resembling a rooster paced back and forth.
"A sip here, a bite there, is causality." Lu Chenzhou murmured.
The Power of Dao descended, forming a sleek, divine, and handsome golden retriever, its tail fluffy and adorable.
"Just half a year, and he reached the Third Layer... Damn it," Wan Yan Old Ghost was taken aback.
This secret technique had been with him for a thousand years with little progress because the Causality Dao was difficult to grasp for beginners.
"Too monstrous," Sword Demon is already numb.
"This is the top-tier talent of the Great Universe, its potential and limit are so high, I can’t fathom it," Kunxu shook his head.
"The first two layers are part of the Mountain and Sea Chapter, so practicing them wasn’t tough. This Third Layer is truly where one starts." Lu Chenzhou laughed.
"But that’s still impressive, since it’s a Ninth Rank method." Sword River Great Saint said.
The golden retriever sniffed each member, collecting all the causal scent of Camilla.
The next moment, its eyes shone with golden light, reflecting a phantom of a world.
There, Camilla could faintly be seen resting, with what seemed like a gigantic presence hidden in the shadows opposite her.
"Where is this?" Lu Chenzhou asked.
"Not good, Camilla might have gone to the West River Territory to find Vilote," Black Boat Ancestor suddenly said.
"Woof!" The golden retriever barked once, then dove into the Ruins Sea, and the group quickly followed.
...
The noise of the hunt for Camilla was immense.
As time passed, more and more people heard that Kunxu, Lu Chenzhou, and others were hunting a demigod and were shocked.
Everyone awaited the outcome of this battle.
If successful, it would carry immense significance.
Some brave and skilled individuals wished to join the team but were refused by Kunxu.
Killing a demigod doesn’t depend on numbers; without the Third Step, they’d only be hindrance.
On this day.
Lu Chenzhou followed the golden retriever, arriving at a Great World.
Kunxu, Black Boat, and others emerged from their internal worlds, spreading out to encircle the Great World.
Camilla no longer fled; she stared at Lu Chenzhou and the others with eyes as if seeing dead men.
"Vilote, come out, it’s been too quiet for too long, the ants have crawled onto the Divine’s head."
