Chapter 2272

Dispelling the Confusion

The milky white light on the pagoda stele came and went quickly. In just the blink of an eye, Zhuowen and Ma Yujie had completely disappeared from the pagoda stele.

The moment the two were teleported away, the blood-red eyeball had already arrived beside the pagoda stele, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late. Zhuowen and Ma Yujie were nowhere to be seen.

The eyeball roared angrily and slammed into the pagoda stele, smashing it into dust.

After venting its anger for a while, the eyeball left this place. This pagoda stele was a one-way Teleportation Array, so it only had one teleportation opportunity. Once this teleportation opportunity was used, the pagoda stele would be completely useless.

Zhuowen slowly opened his eyes. What appeared before him was an unfamiliar starry sky. He was standing on a several-dozen-meter-large meteorite, slowly drifting through the starry sky.

Not far away, Ma Yujie rubbed his fat belly and looked around. His brows furrowed slightly. Zhuo Wen knew that this fatty probably didn't know where this place was.

"Brother Ma, this place should not be within the scope of the Great Brahma Domain!"

Zhuowen looked at Ma Yujie and said slowly. Zhuowen was basically familiar with the places in the Great Brahma Domain, but this place gave him a very strange feeling.

There was only one explanation, and that was that this place was not the Great Brahma Domain at all.

Ma Yujie did not refute, but nodded and said, "En, it seems that we have come to an unfamiliar Star Field. I just don't know where this place is."

The pagoda stele in the Secret Realm was not set up by Ma Yujie, so he did not know where the teleportation destination was in advance, causing the two of them to be somewhat confused about where this place was.

"Brother Ma, what is that eyeball suppressed in the blood-stained cliff?" Zhuowen looked at Ma Yujie seriously and asked in a deep voice.

He felt that Ma Yujie must know something; otherwise, how could the latter know that there was a Dao Fruit under the cliff?

Ma Yujie smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhuo, in fact, I don't know what's going on with the blood-stained cliff. You are wondering why I know there is a Dao Fruit under the cliff, right?"

Zhuowen was taken aback and immediately nodded, indicating that he had agreed.

Ma Yujie said helplessly, "You don't know. When I felt the peerless killing intent on the blood-stained cliff, I guessed that the person suppressed under the cliff was probably a Dao Confirming Realm expert."

"Wherever a Dao Confirming Powerhouse stays, a Dao Fruit is bound to condense.

"To tell you the truth, there are two types of Dao Fruits. One is when the Dao Fruit is formed during the moment when the Dao Confirming expert successfully reaches the Life and Death Extremities. The other is when the Dao Confirming expert inadvertently forms a Dao Fruit while cultivating."

Zhuo Wen's eyes lit up as he interrupted, "You guessed that the person in the cliff was a Dao Validation powerhouse, so you guessed that there must be a Dao Fruit inside."

Ma Yujie hurriedly nodded and said, "That's right. Otherwise, why would I enter such a dangerous place? In the end, my guess was correct. There was indeed a Dao Confirming Realm Cultivator under the cliff. Moreover, it was a Dao Confirming Realm Cultivator whose corpse was dismembered. I also obtained some Dao Fruits there."

Zhuowen's pupils contracted. He didn't think that a Dao Confirming Realm Cultivator's corpse could be dismembered. Who did it?

Could it be a Heaven Crushing Cultivator or the owner of the blood pool, the Dragon Tribe?

Ma Yujie also saw the shock in Zhuowen's eyes and knew what the latter was puzzled about. He said solemnly, "You don't need to ask me. In fact, I'm not very sure either. Dao Confirming Realm Cultivators are indeed much more powerful than Void Sky Nine Ascends, but there is still a large gap between them and Heaven Crushing Realm Cultivators.

"With the power of a Heaven Crushing Cultivator, it's actually very easy for them to kill a Dao Confirming Realm Cultivator. They wouldn't be so bored as to dismember the corpse and seal it. In other words, only a Dao Confirming Realm Cultivator would be able to do such a thing."

Zhuowen fell silent. Then, he asked, "Now that there's no teleportation formation in that place, does it mean that we won't be able to enter in the future?"

Although Zhuowen asked this, he wasn't too worried in his heart. This was because he had left a mark in that Mystery Realm in advance. With his current level of formation dao, he was completely capable of following those marks to set up a one-way teleportation formation and teleport himself over.

Zhuowen believed that this damned fatty's level of formation dao was even higher than his, so he had definitely left a mark in that Mystery Realm as well.

Ma Yujie put on an act, and said, "You're right. The one-way teleportation formation can only be used once. Since the two of us have already used it, we basically won't be able to enter. However, aside from the dragon's blood and the Dao Fruit, there's actually nothing else useful in there. Moreover, we already have both of these things, so there's actually nothing left to regret."

Zhuowen sneered in his mind. He didn't believe that this damned fatty really had any regrets. Moreover, he also didn't believe that there was only the Dao Fruit at the bottom of that cliff.

Dao Confirming powerhouses were powerhouses above the Nine Steps of Void Sky and the Two Extremities of Life and Death. They were a transitional stage towards the Heaven Crushing Stage. Such powerhouses were extremely terrifying. Yang Kai didn't believe that there was only the Dao Fruit left behind.

Of course, Zhuowen naturally wouldn't say this out loud. He was very clear that his current strength was still insufficient. Even if he left a mark in that Mystery Realm, it would be useless. If he entered again, he would probably immediately be annihilated by that eyeball.

Zhuowen planned to wait until his strength increased before entering again. At the very least, it would be better for him to enter that Mystery Realm again after his main body reached the Nine Steps of Void Sky or his clone reached the Three Extremities.

Otherwise, he would most likely lose his life in vain.

"By the way, Brother Ma, may I ask how to use this Dao Fruit?" Zhuowen asked again.

Ma Yujie glanced at Zhuowen with a strange expression as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Brother Zhuo, have you never heard of the Dao Fruit?" Ma Yujie asked.

Zhuowen smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. If it weren't for Ma Yujie, he might not even know about Dao Confirming, let alone the Dao Fruit.

Ma Yujie looked at Zhuowen's expression and knew that the latter really knew nothing about the Dao Fruit. He secretly regretted it. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have directly said that he had the Dao Fruit. He should have said something else.

However, regret was useless now. He knew that it was impossible to take back the Dao Fruit from Zhuowen, so he could only explain: "Brother Zhuo, the power of the first eight steps of the Virtual Sky World all comes from the starry sky law. Among them, the peak of the Eight Steps of Void Sky is comprehending the starry sky law."

"There are two ways to advance in the Nine Steps of Void Sky. One is to comprehend the most powerful starry sky law, the space-time law, and advance to the Nine Steps of Void Sky. The other is to comprehend a trace of the Heavenly Dao Law and turn it into a trace of Heavenly Dao blood and integrate it into the body."
