Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Chapter 884 - 877: Cleaving the Daoist Lord Mansion with a Blade

"Sect Master Yan, actually, the Blue Star Sect is my creation because my home star is Blue Star..."

As Ding Huan said just one sentence, Yan Zhuo understood.

No wonder Bai He often mentioned the Blue Star Sect, it turns out this Blue Star Sect indeed existed long ago.

He sighed, "The Blue Star Sect I established is long gone. I return this sect name to Mr. Ding. Mr. Ding, if you want to rebuild the Blue Star Sect, I, Yan Zhuo, would even risk my life to help you achieve it."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "The establishment of the Blue Star Sect is certain, but your life still belongs to you."

Jia Baihe felt a bit guilty, as she had somewhat used Yan Zhuo.

Her mentioning of the Blue Star Sect was partly to name it so that she could reminisce more, and partly in case one day Ding Huan arrived in the Great Universe?

Just as Jia Baihe was about to explain, Yi Jie's voice came through:

"Mr. Huan, we've arrived at Ten Thousand Dao City."

The speed of the Cosmic Pot slowed down.

Ding Huan had long seen Ling Zhuzhen; Ling Zhuzhen stood outside Ten Thousand Dao City, as if merged with the entire space.

If it weren't for Ding Huan's heightened sensitivity to the Law of All Things, he might not have noticed Ling Zhuzhen at all.

Ding Huan immediately took control of the Cosmic Pot and stopped it in front of Ling Zhuzhen.

Upon seeing Ding Huan exit the Cosmic Pot, Ling Zhuzhen laughed heartily, "Brother Ding Huan, congratulations on your power advancing another level, haha..."

Indeed, he did not see it wrong.

With his current strength and past insight at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, he still couldn't see through Ding Huan's true realm.

On the surface, Ding Huan seemed to be in the Creation Realm, but that didn't seem quite possible either.

He remembered when he parted with Ding Huan, Ding Huan seemed to be in the Creation Dao Realm.

How long has it been?

Merely a few thousand years.

No matter how formidable Ding Huan was, it was impossible to progress so rapidly.

Even though he had once reached the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, he had only returned to the Fifth Step after several thousand years.

Ding Huan also smiled, "Old Ling, your cultivation is much stronger than mine now. Congratulations to you too; restoration of your strength is just around the corner."

Ling Zhuzhen shook his head, "Reaching the Fifth Step used up all my reserves. Without a Dao Vein, I can hardly advance further... Sigh."

Ling Zhuzhen didn't continue speaking.

Without a Dao Vein, entering the Eighth Step of the Great Dao would be very difficult for him.

In this newly emerged Great Universe, stepping into the Eighth Step of the Great Dao is extremely challenging, to say the least.

In those days, a Low Grade Dao Vein would be ignored even if found on the road, but now he longs for even a single Dao Crystal, much less a Dao Vein.

"Old Ling, don't worry. Once business here is concluded, I'll take you to make a fortune. I know a guy who has countless Dao Veins on him."

Ding Huan patted Ling Zhuzhen on the shoulder.

Ling Zhuzhen's heart skipped a beat.

Although he and Ding Huan were old friends, when Ding Huan slapped him like that, he felt no sensation at all. Was Ding Huan's Dao really just his own Great Dao?

But he was soon drawn in by Ding Huan's words, "Brother Ding Huan, do you really have this opportunity?"

"Rest assured, I assure you he has a pile of Dao Veins. This guy is from the Tian Meng Clan, currently residing in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range."

Ding Huan gave Ling Zhuzhen a definite answer.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now," Ling Zhuzhen suggested without hesitation.

Without a Dao Vein, restoring his sight is just like seeing flowers in the fog.

Ding Huan chuckled, "Old Ling, how's your strength now?"

Ling Zhuzhen thought Ding Huan considered his Fifth Step of the Great Dao too weak to be a match for the Tian Meng Clan cultivator, so he pounded his chest confidently:

"Brother, don't worry, even if the Taoist Ancestors here come, I could take one down."

Ding Huan originally planned to take Ling Zhuzhen to deal with Qingsha Taoist Ancestor, but didn't feel Ling Zhuzhen's Fifth Step was that much stronger than his own.

Now hearing Ling Zhuzhen's words, he was instead surprised, "Old Ling, you're not joking, are you really that strong?

The Taoist Ancestors here, except for whatever Purple River Taoist Ancestor, should all be at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, right? You're barely Fifth Step, can you handle the Seventh Step of the Great Dao?

Don't you know the difference between the Seventh Step of the Great Dao and the Fifth Step of the Great Dao?"

Entering the Eternal Life Path, the real chasms exist in two places, one between the Fourth Step of the Great Dao and the Creation Realm cultivators.

The second is between the Seventh Step of the Great Dao and the Sixth Step of the Great Dao.

Even if these seem just a level apart, in actuality, the difference in strength and Dao cultivation is immense.

Precisely because of this, Yu Xing appeared too weak to Ding Huan.

He cultivated the Great Universe Technique, and even as a Second Transformation Saint in the Saint Stage, after certifying the Creation Realm, he developed his own Cosmic World.

So Ding Huan thought he wouldn't be inferior to the Fourth Step of the Great Dao.

Yet he was not strong enough to take down Yu Xing, who was at the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, with a single stroke.

His one strike that took Yu Xing down nearly made him lose confidence.

It wasn't a lack of confidence in his own power, but in his understanding of the Dao.

Ling Zhuzhen at the Fifth Step of the Great Dao couldn't be possibly matched against the Seventh Step of the Great Dao and was even far from it.

Now, Ling Zhuzhen claimed he could handle a Seventh Step Daoist Ancestor; that seemed too much of a boast.

Seeing Ding Huan doubting him, Ling Zhuzhen sneered, "You think today's Seventh Step of the Great Dao can be compared to the Seventh Step from our time?"

"What do you mean?" Ding Huan was puzzled.

Ling Zhuzhen softened his tone, "I discussed the Cosmic Avenue with you before, but now I must tell you more clearly.

After the Great Universe's Nirvana, the Heaven and Earth Rules here were re-formed, though they seem like they're something, fundamentally they lack a lot.

Do you understand now why I advised against certifying the Fourth Step of the Dao here?

Once one certifies the Fourth Step of the Dao here, the Great Dao loses its potential.

The seventh step of the Great Dao achieved here, with its Dao rhythm and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, is at most equivalent to the previous fourth or fifth step of the Great Dao.

I'm not bragging, in fact, I'm being very humble…"

As he spoke, Ling Zhuzhen paused before continuing:

"Before the calamity, the Great Universe once produced two formidable individuals, both of whom embodied their own Great Dao.

Once they matured, even though I was at the eighth step of the Great Dao at the time, I was far inferior to them…"

Yan Zhuo, who had been following Ding Huan all along, widened his eyes upon hearing Ling Zhuzhen's words.

The eighth step of the Great Dao?

This person is at the eighth step of the Great Dao?

No, this person looks very familiar somehow.

Right, he's the guardian outside Beixing Heavenly City.

Back then, this person was hunched over, with chaotic Dao rhythm, and was extremely thin.

Now his Dao rhythm is harmonious, almost blending with heaven and earth. He's also much plumper, that's why he didn't recognize him immediately.

Realizing that Ling Zhuzhen is at the eighth step of the Great Dao, Yan Zhuo showed a kind of respect in his eyes, an instinctual respect for the powerful.

"If those two people were here, I bet even if they were just in the Creation Realm, any one of them could easily suppress the Taoist ancestors here.

Now you see, what's the difference between different Daos?

What I regretted most was staying here to hide when the calamity arrived, causing my Great Dao to fall into chaos.

But now, what I am most grateful for is that after the calamity, I didn't leave but stayed hidden here.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have understood these principles, nor would I advise you to leave the Great Universe to certify the fourth step of the Great Dao."

Upon hearing Ling Zhuzhen's words, Ding Huan understood some things.

No wonder the Tianmeng Clan killed so many strong human beings in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

It turns out that the human's Dao was actually inferior to that of the Tianmeng Clan.

Just like that Yu Xing, who just needed one strike to cut him.

And against that strong man from the Tianmeng Clan, he suffered a loss.

In that case, he truly wanted to try confronting Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

"Fine, Lao Ling, I believe you. Since you have this ability, let's go to Ten Thousand Dao City to meet Qingsha Dao Ancestor.

This woman is constantly chasing me; I can't find peace if I don't kill her."

Ding Huan immediately made the decision.

Ling Zhuzhen laughed heartily: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go together."

Ding Huan said to Ling Zhuzhen: "You know Jia Baihe, she's my Dao companion. This is Yan Zhuo, also Baihe's savior and godfather, the Blue Star Sect Master Yan Zhuo."

Yan Zhuo, who had longed to meet Ling Zhuzhen, quickly bowed in greeting:

"Yan Zhuo greets the senior. My Blue Star Sect has long ceased to exist, waiting for Sect Master Ding to rebuild his own Blue Star Sect."

Ling Zhuzhen laughed heartily: "I am Ling Zhuzhen, now a life-and-death friend with Brother Ding Huan.

You are Brother Ding Huan's friend, you are my friend too, no need for such formalities. Come on, let's go to Ten Thousand Dao City to meet those so-called Taoist Ancestors."

When mentioning Taoist Ancestors, Ling Zhuzhen couldn't help but let sarcasm spill from the corners of his mouth.

With just that much ability, they dared to be called Taoist Ancestors?

Being a City Lord would be more suitable.

What difference do these people have from frogs at the bottom of a well?

...

Ten Thousand Dao City has no City Lord Mansion, only a Daoist Lord Mansion

Because this place was established precisely to compete for the Dao veins, in Ten Thousand Dao City, all Daoist Ancestors will stay here all the time.

No one wants to lose the distribution of the Dao veins by leaving Ten Thousand Dao City.

Only by staying in Ten Thousand Dao City can they share the Dao veins here.

Even the injured Feng Pu and Yiqi Taoist Ancestor have never thought of leaving Ten Thousand Dao City.

The Daoist Lord Mansion is their place for discussing matters.

At this moment, in the Daoist Lord Mansion of Ten Thousand Dao City, Qingsha Dao Ancestor's face was dark, obviously having had a fit earlier.

Dao Ancestor Feng Pu from Tianzi World said indifferently:

"Qingsha Fellow Daoist, this matter has not been fully investigated yet. Whether it was Human Clan cultivators who killed your subordinates, we do not know, it could also have been Tianmeng Clan cultivators."

"Impossible."

Qingsha Dao Ancestor decisively refuted Feng Pu's words: "My men were on Human lands and had teleportation talismans on them. Even if people from the Tianmeng Clan infiltrated, it would be impossible to kill him."

There is another thing everyone tacitly understands.

Tianmeng Clan cultivators lurking in the area occupied by Human cultivators in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range generally only want Dao veins.

When targeted by Tianmeng Clan cultivators, surrendering the Dao veins usually ensures safety.

"But we can't bring back all the line guards just to find this possibly elusive murderer at this time, right?"

Feng Pu's tone was slightly irritated.

He had long been displeased with this woman's arrogance, and having sustained heavy injuries, he was powerless against her.

At that moment, everyone felt intense spatial fluctuations.

A terrifying aura of slaughter exploded.

Then, a sword light descended from the void.

Boom!

The defensive restrictions and the gate of the Daoist Lord Mansion turned to dust under this sword curtain. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novｅlfire.net
