"Supreme Sage, if that's the case, then wouldn't Joe Di..." Xuan Qiao said worriedly.
Gui Yan waved his hand, "We'll talk about Joe Di later. That man is extremely cunning and likely won't dare to come in. As for Bian Jue, I underestimated him, so I won't let him escape my sight again."
There was one more thing Gui Yan didn't say: if Bian Jue managed to escape, it would be unknown how many years he'd have to wait before leaving this universe.
Despite the chaotic aura of this universe being consumed at an alarming rate every day, it would still be a long time before it was completely depleted.
......
Joe Di patiently waited for three full days. Only after confirming the Supreme Sage had left did he once again merge his Dao into the space and slip away.
After traveling tens of thousands of miles away, Joe Di finally performed Lawstride. In just a short span, he vanished billions of miles into the distance.
Even so, Joe Di continued his urgent flight for several more days before stopping on a vast, snow-covered plain. There, he summoned Sawyer Walker.
Joe Di couldn't help but admire Sawyer Walker's patience. If it had been him, being led around for days like this, he wouldn't have felt at ease—at the very least, his divine sense would have quietly reached out. Yet, throughout all these days, Sawyer Walker hadn't released even the slightest hint of spiritual fluctuation.
"Fellow Daoist Di, you only let me out after so many days. Something must have happened along the way, right?" Sawyer Walker emerged, smiling.
After Sawyer Walker left, Joe Di also chose a direction and quickly escaped. He didn't go far, but instead entered deep into this snowy plain.
In this continent, the chaos essence was everywhere, dense to the extreme. Few cultivators living here would choose to cultivate in such conditions. For Joe Di, staying to cultivate in the boundless snowy plain was the best choice.
......
Only after Joe Di began his secluded cultivation deep in the snowy plain did he truly realize how difficult it had been to reach the Realm Creation stage in such a short time.
After stepping into the Third Step, not only did he need an extremely clear understanding of the Dao laws of heaven and earth, but his requirements for the primordial energy of heaven and earth had also become almost harsh.
Joe Di suspected that if he hadn't entered this place, it might take tens of thousands of years to reach the Fusion Realm. He couldn't afford to rush, or his Dao laws would become chaotic.
At this moment, cultivating in a place with inexhaustible chaos essence, he could only feel constant progress, but not a breakthrough in realm.
He was like a bucket—a bottomless bucket—filling with water here. Although the water was being added faster and faster, Joe Di didn't know when it would be full.
Even though Joe Di set up layer after layer of concealment arrays outside, when he cultivated, the endless chaos essence swept in, forming vortexes of chaos essence deep in the snowy plain. Eventually, the space where Joe Di cultivated, the cosmic rules almost became tangible.
Joe Di frantically absorbed chaos essence, making his foundation as solid as possible.
For mortals, hundreds of years would be several lifetimes. For Joe Di, it seemed like just a blink of an eye, and it was over.
Although Joe Di longed to continue cultivating here for tens of thousands more years, he knew he couldn't. After nearly five hundred years of cultivation here, he understood better than anyone how terrifying the changes in chaos essence could be.
If he had just arrived, he would feel the chaos essence here was still extremely dense, like it was five hundred years ago. After five hundred years of cultivation, Joe Di clearly felt that the chaos essence had thinned by a level.

If he wanted to continue cultivating here for tens of thousands more years, the chaos essence here wouldn't need him to disperse it—it would already be almost the same as the outside universe.
"Sigh, I came a little too late," Joe Di sighed.
If he had come ten thousand years earlier, he would already have reached the Fusion Realm. Now, to reach the Fusion Realm, it would still take nearly ten thousand years—even with cultivation in the Chaotic Continent.
Even though he had only cultivated for a few hundred years, his strength was worlds apart from when he first arrived. Joe Di was still unsure if he could use the seventh slash of the Three Ages Blade, but he was certain that, if he fought Sawyer Walker now, he could suppress him without needing the seventh slash.
Of course, Joe Di also knew that after these hundreds of years, Sawyer's strength must have increased by a large margin. But as for Sawyer reaching the Creation Realm, Joe Di doubted he could do it. Not just Sawyer—even others would find it nearly impossible.
He cultivated the Path of Rules, and after spending some time cultivating here, he understood just how flawed the rules here were. He even suspected that the Supreme Sage might not have reached the Creation Realm either. If that was the case, then when he met the Supreme Sage, he wouldn't need to run anymore—he could at least fight.
Sighing, Joe Di put away all his array flags—he had things to do.
Sometimes, Joe Di really wanted to ignore everyone else and just keep cultivating here until he reached the Fusion Realm. But he had to do some things: release all the chaos essence here, break open the Chaos Gate, and fuse the rules of the entire Five Elements Universe.
It wasn't that he was so noble—it was simply something he had to do.
