Chapter 1252 - 1245: Ding Huan's River of the Great Dao
"Mr. Ding, are you about to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao?" Ye Sha asked, his voice trembling slightly.
Taking the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao is not only their lifelong pursuit, but also the lifelong pursuit of Yi Yuan Jiqiong.
It can be said that under this vastness, no one could take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao.
Ding Huan nodded, "I indeed have some insights, so I will retreat here for a while."
Ye Sha eagerly said, "Brother Ding, when you retreat and prepare to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao, can we observe the Dao from the side?"
He originally wanted to tell Ding Huan about the top-level Hao Han fruit hidden in the last block of the Hao Han Star Map.
But nothing is more important than taking the ninth step of the Hao Han Dao.
Even if this person is not him, it is equally important.
Chi Zhou looked at Ding Huan with the same excitement.
He also longed to stay here.
Having lingered at the ninth step of the Hao Han Dao for countless years, both Ye Sha and Chi Zhou knew clearly that for the rest of their lives, they would never be able to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao.
But if someone could take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao and allow them to observe, it would be an unparalleled opportunity.
Even if they were still stuck at the ninth step of the Hao Han Dao due to having merged with the Primordial Dao Principle of this vastness, they would be satisfied.
Ding Huan nodded, "Of course, but it's best not to disturb me."
Although he said this, Ding Huan didn't really mind.
He sensed that once he began to comprehend and take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao, or even begin to certify this Dao, probably no one could disturb him.
The decision to start his retreat and comprehend the ninth step of the Hao Han Dao was one Ding Huan made in an instant.
Ding Huan originally intended to study the cosmic tree, as Si Wu and Qi Qitang came here previously for the cosmic tree.
He also wanted to know what exactly the cosmic tree was, why no one could take it away, and why it always remained outside the Hao Han Star Map.
However, after helping Chi Zhou tear apart the lingering Source Principle of Jiqiong, he suddenly lost interest in the cosmic tree.
At that moment, he once again vaguely sensed the opportunity to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao.
The first and second missed opportunities were due to external influences.
If he missed the third time, it would definitely be his own fault.
If such an insight is missed three times, perhaps there will never be a fourth.
"Don't worry, Brother Ding, we will definitely not disturb you and will also prevent any external factors from disturbing you,"
Ye Sha said again.
As Ding Huan was about to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao, he naturally switched from addressing him as Mr. Ding to Brother Ding.
Ding Huan did not set up any defensive restrictions or defensive domains; he simply stood in place and entered the enlightenment of the Dao.
Just as he felt in his heart.
He didn't need to set up any defense mechanisms; once he began to comprehend and take the ninth step of the Hao Han Dao, no one could interrupt him.
Unless he himself decided to stop comprehending.
Ye Sha and Chi Zhou watched as Ding Huan entered a retreat state without any defenses, not even bringing out a meditation cushion.
He didn't sit down; he simply stood in place to start comprehending this transcendent Dao, and they couldn't help but exchange glances.
They seemed to vaguely understand why they couldn't perceive the opportunity to take the ninth step on the Hao Han Dao.
Since gaining spiritual intelligence, they had never seen anyone retreat and comprehend the Dao like this.
Even Jiqiong, when retreating, would prepare thoroughly.
From defensive methods to the arrangement of vast primordial energy, everything had to be perfect.
Otherwise, even the slightest deviation would render the Dao comprehension futile.
Ding Huan's retreat overturned their understanding.
Only a single cycle passed.
The infinite mysterious Daoist Rhythm enveloped the space where Ding Huan was.
The aura of Dao Rhythm began to climb frantically the moment Ding Huan started his retreat.
Then the Daoist Rhythm gradually condensed into a golden color, and the area covered by the gold grew larger and larger.
The rolling Daoist Rhythm continuously spread out, as if infinite vastness was being generated continuously, and various Dao Principles flashed in and out of existence between heaven and earth.
Eventually, those flashing Dao Principles formed a surging golden river of the Great Dao.
And within that river of the Great Dao, more and more Dao Principles flowed, and under the vastness, faintly, there were rumbling Dao sounds.
Ye Sha's mouth dropped open, and after a moment, he murmured, "So this is the real Hao Han Dao... No, it should be above the vastness..."
Initially, he thought he was seeing things.
But when he came to his senses, he realized he had not been mistaken.
In Ding Huan's golden river of the Great Dao, unlimited vastness had indeed formed.
Even though they were just some vast prototypes, as long as those prototypes perfected themselves, the ultimate result would be a vastness.
He too witnessed the formation of this vastness.
Previously, he thought Jiqiong was the maker of the Hao Han Dao; now, he realized he was wrong.
Ding Huan was; Ding Huan's Dao was the true maker of the vastness.
As long as Ding Huan wished.
Chi Zhou also understood.
The various defensive formations, territories, and restrictions they set up before going into closed cultivation, were merely ways to imprison their own Great Dao.
As for the primordial energy of heaven and earth...
Hehe, just look at this Great Dao of Ding Huan.
It is not about absorbing the primordial energy under the vastness, but refining endless primordial energy of heaven and earth through one's own Dao Principles.
Just look at the golden avenue river that spreads and stretches out endlessly, and you will know that one day, countless Dao Crystals will condense at the edge of this golden avenue river.
Ye Sha and Chi Zhou stopped speaking.
Encountering such fortuitous opportunities even once in a lifetime is supreme destiny.
It is certain, as Ding Huan's golden avenue river spreads out, numerous cultivators will follow this golden avenue river.
And the place near Ding Huan will become a place countless people yearn for.
Now, they are by Ding Huan's side.
...
"Wu Ji, that is the avenue river..."
Standing on the vast star core, Lan Xiaobu looked in shock at the golden long river extending from a distance.
Endless Daoist Rhythms rolled unceasingly, and that golden long river kept extending and spreading endlessly.
"The endless Dao Principles in those avenue rivers..." An Ting murmured, completely stunned.
He had witnessed the existence of this vastness being opened up, what had he not seen?
But today this scene, he was truly seeing for the first time.
Jia Baihe's face was full of tears; she felt Ding Huan's aura.
Mo Wuji also couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the golden long river stretching away.
The long river contained endless Dao Principles surging, each filled with profound Daoist Rhythms.
Any Dao Principle in this golden avenue river was enough for an ordinary cultivator to comprehend for a lifetime.
Mo Wuji recalled a poem, "It is as if the Milky Way descended from the Nine Heavens."
But to describe this golden avenue river that stretched endlessly for millions of miles, still crazily extending, as the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, was simply an insult to this golden avenue river.
"This is Brother Ding Huan..." Mo Wuji calmed down from the shock, his tone full of endless worry.
They had fought alongside Ding Huan not just for one or two days, the source principles of this golden avenue river belonged to Ding Huan.
Lan Xiaobu clearly sensed that something was amiss and frowned.
Ye Xuan exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Ding Huan is about to take the ninth step of vastness?"
Mo Wuji nodded, "Yes, but this vastness probably won't allow him to take the ninth step of vastness. If he fails, he will disappear under this vastness."
"Ye Xuan, we should hurry." Lan Xiaobu urged anxiously.
"Okay."
Ye Xuan further increased the speed of the vast star core.
Meanwhile, following behind the vast star core, Zuo Shanyi's eyes flickered with a hint of ruthlessness.
Zuo Shanyi didn't dare to board Ye Xuan's vast star core, so his flying treasure only tightly followed behind the vast star core.
With Zuo Shanyi's keen insight, he naturally saw at a glance that this was Ding Huan preparing to take the ninth step of vastness.
Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu both believed Ding Huan would fail, but he believed Ding Huan would certainly succeed.
Because if it were him, having reached this level of Dao validation, he would definitely succeed as well.
That endlessly extending golden avenue river would not become a burden for Ding Huan, but rather a stepping stone for his Great Dao.
Jiqiong indeed didn't deceive him.
In the vastness, there could only be one person who took the ninth step of vastness.
Back when Jiqiong sacrificed the Dao, it was completely correct.
Now Jiqiong was gone, it's Ding Huan's turn to sacrifice the Dao.
Zuo Shanyi was one hundred percent sure, Ding Huan would use another way to sacrifice the Dao.
When Ding Huan's golden avenue river covered the entire vastness, Ding Huan would use this golden avenue river to sacrifice the whole vastness.
By then, trillions of universes, endless voids...
Would all turn into a speck of dust in Ding Huan's Great Dao, integrating into Ding Huan's avenue river, helping him take the ninth step of vastness.
And at that time, he, Zuo Shanyi, would also become a speck of dust in Ding Huan's avenue river.
Zuo Shanyi clenched his fists; Ding Huan was indeed formidable.
Always walking ahead of him.
As long as he, Zuo Shanyi, was still here, he would never allow this to happen.
Zuo Shanyi took out the vast teleportation talisman.
But soon he put the vast teleportation talisman away again.
Using the vast teleportation talisman to find Ding Huan at this time was meaningless.
Because he alone couldn't break through Ding Huan's golden avenue river.
As soon as he took action, he would become the first lost soul under Ding Huan's golden avenue river, turning into a mindless Dao Principle under Ding Huan's avenue river.
He looked ahead at Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu; he must get the support of these two. Only by joining forces, could they take down Ding Huan.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
