Chapter 301 Shackles of Heaven and Earth
Viewing the clouds from the summit of Mount Guanyun.
Ding Yi stood there, watching the white clouds surging beneath his feet, lost in thought.
The next moment, a bright light suddenly burst forth from his body, followed by a surge of energy that erupted from him.
A terrifying pressure surged forward like a tidal wave, even dispersing the white clouds and revealing the golden sun behind them.
Standing atop this mountain peak, he resembled an ancient ferocious beast. If an ordinary person were to approach within a hundred meters of him, their meridians would be severed, and their body would turn into blood and gore.
And this is just the beginning.
Ding Yi's aura gradually intensified, spreading rapidly at an almost geometric speed. Just as the void around him trembled, several transparent chains suddenly shot down from the sky and bound his limbs like dragons.
At this point, Ding Yi's aura suddenly dropped, and even the muscles on his body trembled slightly, as if he was under tremendous pressure.
"Is this what they call the shackles of heaven and earth?"
Ding Yi stared at the long chains that had fallen from the void before him, muttering to himself.
Since waking up during the day, he has found himself in the ninth realm.
At first, he didn't notice these transparent chains that fell from the sky, but they appeared without warning when he pushed his physical strength to the limit.
Once bound by these chains, Ding Yi felt a large portion of his strength being instantly drained, giving him the feeling of being impotent while facing a beautiful woman in black stockings lying on a bed.
However, as long as Ding Yi slightly reduces the release of his physical power, the shackles will naturally disappear and vanish back into the void.
At this point, Ding Yi finally understood what the shackles of heaven and earth that Tuoba Ye had mentioned were.
"It seems that this is the suppression of peak martial artists in this world. No, it's not just martial artists, but also the suppression of gods."
As Ding Yi's breathing slowed, the chains binding him disappeared back into the sky, but his brows furrowed tightly.
"Does this world prohibit ascension?"
This thought inexplicably popped into Ding Yi's mind.
What a hassle.
Ding Yi sighed.
Until he can find a solution, he can only unleash power between the eighth and ninth realms. Once he exceeds the ninth realm, this world will notice and lower the strange chains.
Damn it.
As Ding Yi watched the chain slowly disappear from his right arm, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
But at this moment, he had a vague premonition that as long as he could find a way to break free from these chains, he could break free from the shackles of this world and enter a magical realm, namely the Realm of True Person.
But at this moment, he had a more pressing problem to solve.
In order to achieve the ninth realm of immortality, he risked over 2,100 years of his lifespan in one night, and now he only has about 100 years left.
This lifespan is simply not enough for Ding Yi at this moment.
Most importantly, the batch of weapons shipped to the front lines seems to be experiencing a break in production. The daily lifespan notifications are now decreasing drastically, which makes Ding Yi feel even more urgent.
He must rebuild the weapons supply channels in Qingzhou, or he will die!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi immediately turned around and walked down the mountain peak, heading towards the Guanyun Hall below.
Before long, Ding Yi arrived outside the Guanyun Hall.
At that moment, Qiao Jiuyou was watering flowers in the open space outside the hall. He saw Ding Yi walking down the path above and immediately asked with a smile:
"How about it? The view from the top of Guanyun Mountain is pretty good, isn't it?"
Ding Yi chuckled upon hearing this, then asked:
"Sect Master, I forgot to ask last time, what will happen to Lu Xian once he reaches the Ninth Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiuyou glanced at Ding Yi with some surprise, then shook his head and said:
"What realm are you in? Why are you in such a hurry to learn about the Ninth Realm?"
"However, I can't answer your question either. After all, even my master isn't as strong as me. I'm already considered the most talented person in our lineage."
Ding Yi was taken aback by this, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said:
I will be heading to Qingzhou in a few days.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiuyou asked:
"What, aren't you afraid of that guy from Qingzhou anymore?"
Ding Yi chuckled and said:
"Isn't it because of you?"
Qiao Jiuyou said:
"Alright, I happen to need a real person to continue honing my sword domain. Just call me when you're ready to go."
Ding Yi naturally did not refuse. Although he was at the ninth level of the Immortal Realm, he had a more thorough understanding of the terror of the True Person Realm.
Although these lower realm cultivators were suppressed in strength, they inevitably had a few trump cards up their sleeves. With Qiao Jiuyou in front of them, he had a much easier time.
He was already an expert at stealing kills, so he didn't care about this one.
After bidding farewell to Qiao Jiuyou, Ding Yi descended the mountain and headed towards his palace.
On the way, Ding Yi encountered Minister Qiu Baiyu, who had been waiting there.
Standing next to Qiu Baiyu was an inner disciple dressed in a white robe. Upon seeing Ding Yi descend, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried out:
"Welcome Immortal Ding down the mountain."
Ding Yi looked at the group of people with some curiosity, then his gaze fell on the official robes Qiu Baiyu was wearing.
Rank 3.
This is already a very high rank. After all, there are only a handful of first and second-rank officials in the entire Central Plains, and a third-rank official can be said to be the ceiling for many people.
"Your humble servant, Qiu Baiyu, Minister of Revenue, respectfully welcomes Immortal Ding."
Qiu Baiyu saw Ding Yi looking over and quickly bowed and said.
It turns out he was the Minister of Revenue.
After a moment's thought, Ding Yi understood why this person had come. He then smiled coldly, as if wanting to see what the man had to say.
When Qiu Baiyu saw that Ding Yi didn't speak, he immediately understood. He quickly took the two account books handed to him by the attendant next to him, and then hurriedly walked towards Ding Yi.
“Immortal Ding, this is the account book of the criminal He Weimin’s house that was confiscated. I have absolutely not changed a single word. It is right here.”
Ding Yi looked at the account book that Qiu Baiyu had brought over, then took it and flipped through it casually before losing interest.
There was plenty of gold and silver, and some strange and unusual items, but to him at this moment, they were no different from scrap metal.
At this moment, only the method to break the shackles of heaven and earth could pique his interest.
"I donated it."
Ding Yi tossed the ledger to Qiu Baiyu and said casually.
"On behalf of the people of Zhongzhou, I thank Immortal Ding!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Baiyu immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Ding Yi with his hands clasped.
This Lu Xian is on par with a first-rank official, but in reality, his status surpasses that of a first-rank official, so it is not an exaggeration for Qiu Baiyu to kneel in obeisance.
However, he did not kneel down, which placed the emperor in a higher position. This single detail is enough to show the meticulousness of this third-rank official.
Ding Yi ignored Qiu Baiyu and walked straight past him, but Qiu Baiyu's expression on his kneeling face was not angry but happy.
Ding Yi's actions naturally indicate that he has passed the test.
He Weimin's affair has vanished with the confiscation of his property; he is finally spared from death!
Qiu Baiyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Since becoming a minister, he couldn't remember the last time he had been this nervous.
Even when he went to the palace to meet the emperor, he never felt as apprehensive as he does today.
The power of the Immortal Venerable is indeed immeasurable!
Along the way, all the disciples of Guanyun Mountain who saw Ding Yi stopped and bowed, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
This is Lu Xian, the strongest on land in all. This is not only a symbol of strength, but also a continuation of the spirit of martial arts!
But in the end, Ding Yi became somewhat uncomfortable with them.
He finally understood why those immortal cultivators were so elusive; not a single one dared to look him in the eye. If this continued, they'd go crazy.
