Chapter 1003 - 996: Lei Hen
Although Ducheng had turned into ruins, no one felt disappointed.
Both Ding Huan and Wen Chendao fought fiercely, but they did not involve any innocent people.
Moreover, Ding Huan and Wen Chendao's destruction of Ducheng was a good thing for many.
Ducheng was filled with the Monitoring Array Patterns and Locking God Array Patterns set up by Wen Shi.
Living in a Tao City controlled by others always kept people on edge.
No one dared to remove these things.
Now that Ducheng was destroyed, it was a perfect opportunity to rebuild it.
Even if Wen Shi came back, he wouldn't find them; after all, they weren't the ones who destroyed Ducheng.
After Ding Huan left Ducheng, he did not look for Shi Changxing.
The Fog Realm was vast, with countless independent Heaven and Earth Rules; finding someone was almost impossible.
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even the existence at the chaos center would find it difficult to chase someone in the Fog Realm.
Wen Shi's great prestige in Ducheng was only because he was familiar with many places like Ducheng in the Fog Realm.
An ordinary cultivator, if offended Wen Shi and fled, would find it hard to avoid Wen Shi's reach.
If someone could, like him, cultivate and seclude themselves anywhere in the Fog Realm, Wen Shi posed no threat to them.
After leaving Ducheng, Ding Huan decided to return to the space he had previously secluded himself in to stay for a while.
On one hand, he had gained a lot from Wen Chendao and needed to find a place to sort things out.
Especially the Dao Pearl and Dao Pillar; he wanted to know how long until his Great Dao Plate could be completed.
Moreover, the good things Wen Shi had were numerous; he wanted to see if he could advance to the Sixth Step True Saint.
Upon advancing to True Saint, entering the Endless Void Space to find the Creation Dao Principle would be much easier.
...
Geng Yuan brought Shi Wanrong to the Barrier entrance of the World of Gods.
As the Young Master of Listening Tao Mountain, Geng Yuan had the Barrier Jade Talisman to enter and exit the World of Gods.
Shi Wanrong naturally did not have this Jade Talisman.
Geng Yuan did not intend to let Shi Wanrong into his world; he planned to take her openly into the World of Gods.
If anyone blocked them, he would fight his way in.
As long as it was below the Sixth Step True Saint, he believed he could instantly kill.
Even if a Seventh Step arrived, he wasn't incapable of holding his own.
With his understanding of the World of Gods, there was absolutely no Seventh Step Guardian at the Barrier entrance.
Even if a Seventh Step expert received news and wanted to reach the Barrier entrance of the World of Gods, it would take several breaths, by which time he would have long entered the World of Gods.
The World of Gods was vast and boundless; he could hide with Shi Wanrong anywhere they pleased.
Once he proved the Seventh Step as the Master of the Universe, he would visit them one by one.
What puzzled Geng Yuan was that the Protecting Array at the entrance of the World of Gods Barrier seemed to have been removed.
Though there were people guarding the entrance, it didn't seem very strict.
Because he saw a woman in a green skirt pleading, hoping to use the Divine Spirit Vein or other things to trade for entrance.
If this had been before, she would have been killed on the spot by the Guardian Cultivator.
But now, the Guardian Cultivator bitterly smiled and explained to the woman, saying she couldn't enter the World of Gods without a Jade Talisman.
How strange.
When did the guards at the World of Gods entrance become so easy to talk to?
Weren't they always looking down on cultivators outside the World of Gods?
"Fellow Daoist, my junior sister and I wish to enter the World of Gods, here's my Jade Talisman." Geng Yuan approached, presenting his Jade Talisman.
He had already prepared for the worst, ready to strike first if the guard made things difficult.
After all, his Jade Talisman clearly stated Listening Tao Mountain, Geng Yuan.
Any cultivator in the World of Gods would know how Listening Tao Mountain was destroyed.
Now, someone holding a Listening Tao Mountain Jade Talisman attempting to enter the World of Gods must certainly mean a grand battle.
To Geng Yuan's disbelief, the guard only checked his entry Jade Talisman, glanced at Geng Yuan with a peculiar look, and then returned the Talisman:
"Please, go ahead, both of you."
No trouble, and no flying sword was sent to report it.
He was allowed to enter the World of Gods directly and could bring Shi Wanrong in too.
So simple?
Geng Yuan was certain something had happened in the World of Gods; otherwise, this millennial old rule couldn't have been so easily broken.
"Brother, can you take the little sister inside too? She is truly eager to enter the World of Gods."
The green-skirted woman who had been blocked by the Guardian Cultivator suddenly walked over, bowing slightly to Geng Yuan.
Geng Yuan looked at this green-skirted woman enigmatically; he didn't know her at all, what was she implying?
Even if the entry rules of the World of Gods had changed, there was no need to take a stranger inside, right?
The green-skirted woman's eyes were slightly red; suddenly, she opened her world, saying to Geng Yuan in a tearful voice:
"Brother, my father and brother longed to enter the World of Gods back then, but they didn't have the chance and fell.
I swore that should I have the opportunity in the future, I would fulfill their wish. Brother, this is my world; anything in it that you fancy can be taken.
Just let me enter the World of Gods, even if only for a few days before leaving; I would consider my father's and brother's wish fulfilled."
In her grief, she bowed deeply again, almost kneeling before Geng Yuan.
The words of the green-skirted woman stirred the deepest string in Geng Yuan's heart.
His parents also perished in the World of Gods; he went to the World of Gods for revenge.
How similar is this woman in front of him to him?
Moreover, he has never seen anyone as determined and sincere as this woman in front of him.
She even opened her world, allowing him to choose items.
One must know that a cultivator's Tao World is the deepest secret.
The woman in the green skirt opened her world to him, presenting all her secrets for him to see.
As his Divine Will scanned inside, although there were many things in her world, almost none were valuable.
It was evident that she lived very poorly.
Wasn't he the same before?
Before he met Brother Ding Huan, he lived even worse than this woman.
With empathy, Geng Yuan sighed, "Put away your world, I'll take you inside myself. What's your name?"
"Thank you, brother. I'm Lei Hen..."
The voice of the woman in the green skirt trembled a little, her excitement almost irrepressible.
Lei Hen?
Geng Yuan curiously observed the woman in front of him, with a beautiful appearance, though carrying a kind of gentle yearning, she had more maturity and softness than Shi Wanrong.
"Come on, let's go in together." Geng Yuan did not continue to ask why she had a name like Lei Hen.
This name seems unsuitable for a male cultivator, let alone a female cultivator.
However, everyone has their own story, just like him.
His name is not Geng Hen, but it doesn't mean there isn't hatred in his heart.
The guardian cultivator at the World of Gods' entrance saw Geng Yuan voluntarily bring Lei Hen and didn't say a word.
Geng Yuan brought two women easily into the World of Gods.
Landing at the entrance plaza of the World of Gods, a sense of heroism and impulse surged deep within Geng Yuan's heart.
His heroism was derived from wanting to prove the Seventh Step of the Great Dao with Chaos Dao Technique and become the Master of the Universe; his impulse was the desire to immediately kill his way to the Holy Dao Alliance.
Jian Zhen, Lou Poyi, Jiang Jianwang...
These people are the ones he wants to destroy.
"Brother, you brought me into the World of Gods, fulfilled my dream, yet I don't know brother and this sister's names."
Lei Hen's eyes sparkled, her first thought not being farewell, but rather asking for Geng Yuan and Shi Wanrong's names.
Geng Yuan saw her as someone who knows gratitude.
Shi Wanrong frowned slightly; she always had some dislike for this Lei Hen.
She wondered if it was because Lei Hen was too close to Geng Yuan.
Geng Yuan laughed heartily, saying, "My name is Geng Yuan, this is my junior sister, Shi Wanrong. Your Dao attribute is quite good, you should be cultivating the Thunder Attribute, right?
This attribute is very rare; you'll have great potential in the future. We'll part ways here, maybe we'll meet again later."
Geng Yuan, with a Chaos Dao Body, not only saw that Lei Hen's Dao attribute was Thunder but that its purity was very high.
He himself has a Chaos Dao Body, and Shi Wanrong beside him also possesses a Chaos Dao Body.
Thus, he wasn't particularly impressed by the pure Thunder Attribute Dao Body.
Lei Hen was startled, she hadn't expected Geng Yuan to discern that she had a Thunder Attribute Tao Foundation.
She quickly responded timidly, "Yes, Brother Geng."
Geng Yuan waved his hand, "Cultivate well, until we meet again."
Lei Hen bowed once more, reluctantly bidding farewell to Geng Yuan and Shi Wanrong before activating a low-grade flying divine artifact to leave.
She mentioned coming out today, but when leaving, she didn't bring it up.
Geng Yuan sighed, Lei Hen was truly too poor.
Looking at her cultivation realm, she should be about to step into the Fifth Step, yet she was using a low-grade divine artifact, which was practically poverty at its extreme.
Shi Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lei Hen was here, she always had a feeling of unease, but exactly where that came from, she couldn't pinpoint.
"Wanrong, I'll first take you to a place, then we'll train in seclusion there for a while."
The first thing Geng Yuan did upon arriving wasn't visiting Dao Mountain but finding a place to advance to the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.
Only by stepping into the Seventh Step of the Great Dao would he have the qualification to seek revenge.
"Okay." Shi Wanrong didn't resist Geng Yuan's words at all.
But soon she noticed something was amiss.
Geng Yuan stood there blankly, staring into the distance.
In that place, a man and a woman were affectionately chatting and laughing, then the man summoned a flying treasure, and the woman boarded the man's flying treasure.
The flying treasure was activated, and the two quickly flew away.
"Brother Geng, what's wrong?" Shi Wanrong noticed Geng Yuan's expression was not right and quickly asked.
Geng Yuan took a deep breath before slowly saying, "It's nothing, let's go."
With that, he summoned his own flying treasure.
He knew he absolutely hadn't seen wrong, that woman was the Dao partner Xiang Yuanfei that Dao Mountain had decided for him.
Ha, he bitterly smiled.
Before, he had Ding Brother visit True Saint Holy Dao to say his Dao partner was in True Saint Holy Dao.
