Chapter 1478 Laojun tform


    After the war, Umekawa Taro, the gunner responsible for bombarding Laojun tform, came to Luyi again and kowtowed in repentance. ording to him, he had fired the shells very urately back then. The shells had hit Laojun tform, but why hadn’t the shells exploded? Even he couldn’t exin it.


    Umekawa Taro believed that Taishang Laojun had blessed the area. He even erected a monument of repentance at Laojun tform, but it waster changed to a monument of peace.


    No one could verify it now.


    However, after Laojun tform became a dimensional zone, it indeed became a magicalnd.


    Typical dimensional zones had dimensional creatures, but there were no dimensional creatures on Laojun tform.


    That wasn’t entirely urate. There were just no native dimensional creatures. Instead, many dimensional creatures from other dimensional zones had fled to Laojun tform to seek refuge.


    Typical dimensional zones didn’t reject humans, but they had a strong rejection effect on creatures from other dimensional zones. Creatures from different dimensional zones seldom ran around. However, this wasn’t the case with Laojun tform. Any dimensional creature, including humans, could freely enter and exit Laojun tform, but there was one point-killing was prohibited.


    This was very simr to Mount Laojun. Both ces forbade killing. The difference was that if one killed on Laojun tform, the consequences would be worse than on Mount Laojun.


    Legend had it that a group of humans had chased after a rare dimensional creature all the way to Laojun tform. The group only managed to kill it when the dimensional creature ced one foot on Laojun tform.


    They also knew the taboo of Laojun tform, so they were somewhat hesitant. However, that dimensional creature was very rare to begin with. Back then, they realized that it seemed to have a Companion Egg in its body. They ultimately failed to resist the temptation and ran to loot the corpse.


    A beam ended up descending from the sky and took them all away. No one saw them again. The locals imed that Laojun had personally taken action to finish them off, sending them to heaven as he couldn’t stand them. It was impossible to determine the veracity of this matter. From then on, no one dared to kill at Laojun tform. They didn’t even dare to cause injuries.


    Of course, dimensional creatures that escaped into Laojun tform wouldn’t harm humans there either.


    Laojun tform became one of the few dimensional zones that allowed humans to coexist peacefully with dimensional creatures. Zhou Wen had previously heard of it, but Luyi was a county under Guide City. Zhou Wen had never been there, so he had never entered Laojun tform.


    “In that case, Laojun tform is indeed very suitable for establishing a human city. Is the space there big enough?” Zhou Wen asked.


    “Space in Laojun tform wasn’t too big, but after it became a dimensional zone, it expanded. It shouldn’t be a problem to house a million people.” Yu Qiubai sighed and continued, “However, I’ve already said that there’s still a problem with Laojun tform. If we don’t resolve this problem, it’s useless even if we build a city there. No one will dare live there.”


    “The killing prohibition isn’t the problem you are talking about?” Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of any other taboos in Laojun tform.


    “Of course not. That condition is extremely beneficial to humans, so how can it be a problem? If that’s the case, people would have long fled to seek refuge there. However, in fact, no one dares to head to Laojun tform,” Yu Qiubai said.


    “Why’s that?” Zhou Wen asked.


    “Because Laojun tform has been upied by a dimensional creature that doesn’t abide by its rules. That dimensional creature can kill as it pleases without being punished. Any human who dares enter has been wiped out by it, so no one dares to enter.” Yu Qiubai sighed. “If we wish to build a city here, we have to kill that dimensional creature or chase it out.” “Why don’t I know that? When did that dimensional creature appear? What does it look like?” Zhou Wen was surprised.


    At the very least, Laojun tform was where Taishang Laojun had ascended. Although he didn’t know how true it was, could a ce that was rted to Taishang Laojun be destroyed by an ordinary dimensional creature? Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss.


    Zhou Wen had a deep understanding of how terrifying Mount Laojun was either way. Laojun tform was somewhat simr to Mount Laojun. Zhou Wen felt that the dimensional creature that could wreak havoc there wasn’t simple.


    “I don’t dare to enter. I heard from others that the dimensional creature looks very strange. It looks like a cross between a lion or tiger, but not exactly so. It has scales all over its body like the legendary Qilin. It’s more than three meters tall and moves like the wind. No one can escape its bite.” Yu Qiubai told Zhou Wen all the information he had gathered.


    However, the information he gathered was from a few survivors. It likely didn’t differ from the ground truth.


    Zhou Wen thought carefully for a while, but he couldn’t figure out the origins of the dimensional creature. He only felt that since a person could see it, its level couldn’t be too high.


    Could it be that the abilities of that dimensional creature are simr to my Dao Sutra? It can crack taboo powers, so it can kill as it pleases at Mount Laojun? Zhou Wen guessed.


    Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided to head to Laojun tform to take a look. Since ordinary people had a chance of escaping, even if he couldn’t beat the opponent, escaping shouldn’t be a problem for him.


    The situation was dire. There were still hundreds of thousands of people in Guide City who had nowhere to go. They couldn’t just stay outside the school all night. Things would go wrong once the food and water ran out.


    He had to find a ce to settle them down as soon as possible and get them to have something to do. At the very least, he had to provide them with their meals. Otherwise, once something went wrong, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.


    Yu Qiubai returned to school after a discussion to stabilize the situation with those people. Those who signed the contract were given priority. He would employ a divide and conquer strategy, by giving carrots to some and using the stick on others. He didn’t want to cause too much of a conflict. Regardless, he had to persist until Zhou Wen found a suitable dimensional zone.


    Zhou Wen rushed to Laojun tform alone. Before he left, he handed Chick to Yu Qiubai. Chick would be able to hold the fort if anything really happened as long as no Cmity-grade entity interfered.


    The distance between regions increased significantly as Earth’s dimensionalization deepened, but Luyi was very close to begin with, so Zhou Wen didn’t spend much time reaching Laojun tform.


    From afar, Laojun tform looked like a paradise on earth. There were buildings made of green bricks and tiles amidst the white clouds, making it look like a fairnd.


    There were many buildings along the periphery of Laojun tform that came under the dimensional zone.


    Zhou Wen could only see the outline of the buildings outside, but he couldn’t see what was inside.


    When he arrived at the entrance of the dimensional zone, Zhou Wen wasn’t in a rush to enter. He first circled the area, hoping to find the tiny palm symbol.
