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

Chapter 895 - 888: Failure at the Fourth Step of Dao Validation

Although Ding Huan established the Great Universe Dao Court, he did not set any laws, nor did he settle accounts with those who contributed to the Purple River World and the Wansha World.

He hasn't even left Wan Dao City.

All matters are handled by several Court Pillars of the new Dao Court.

So the entire universe is fundamentally unchanged from before.

Or rather, before the full-scale invasion of the Great Universe's Human Tribe by the Tian Meng Clan's cultivators, there won't be any other changes.

The current situation.

The most satisfied person is Zhu Qingfeng, even though he doesn't manage the Cultivator Army, in Wan Dao City, he is the most persuasive on the surface.

Ding Huan and Ling Zhuzhen are in seclusion, Feng Pu and Yi Qi control the Cultivator Army, and the affairs of Wan Dao City can only be managed by him.

Currently, he's not a Taoist Ancestor, but what's the difference between what he's doing now and what a Taoist Ancestor would do?

His power not only hasn't weakened, but it seems to have grown larger.

As for Feng Pu and Yi Qi controlling the Cultivator Army, he isn't concerned at all.

Ding Huan is the Master of the Dao Court. The Cultivator Army controlled by Feng Pu and Yi Qi still ultimately has to listen to Ding Huan.

If Ding Huan tells you to go east, would you dare go west?

During this period of managing Wan Dao City, not only has his prestige greatly increased, but he has also acquired many rare treasures.

Wan Dao City is now the number one Dao City in the universe, and with Ding Huan allowing unrestricted entry for Human Clan Cultivators,

Cultivators from all sides come here to trade.

The cave mansions, shops, and other resources are all distributed by Zhu Qingfeng.

Besides, the Protecting Array that blocks the Wan Dao Mountain Range is also managed by Zhu Qingfeng, isn't he thriving?

...

The best cave mansion in Wan Dao City is naturally where Ding Huan is in seclusion.

Ding Huan has implanted twenty top-grade Dao Veins here, along with one half-exquisite Dao Vein.

He intends to use these resources to prove the Dao of the Fourth Step through his own Dao World.

So Ding Huan left all matters to others, as he didn't want anyone disturbing his advancement to the Fourth Step.

It's a pity that even Bai He, who cultivates beside Ding Huan, has reached the Eighth Turn Saint, and Yi Jie has stepped into the Seventh-Level Holy Beast.

Only Ding Huan's cultivation still hovers at the Creation Saint Realm.

Hundreds of years of seclusion have strengthened his Daoist foundations and perfected his own world, but there's no clue for the Fourth Step of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan knows very well he cannot remain in seclusion any longer.

Perhaps in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, he might sense the Fourth Step of his own Dao, simultaneously deriving various Dao Principles unique to himself and validate the Fourth Step.

But he doesn't have so much time.

In his assessment, the peace of the Wan Dao Mountain Range will not last over two thousand years.

Perhaps in less than a thousand years, the Tian Meng Clan's powerful cultivators will emerge.

When that happens, it will be an extreme disaster for the Great Universe's Human Clan Cultivators.

At that time, what's the point of continuing his seclusion here?

Ding Huan sensed Ling Zhuzhen's place of seclusion; under the abundant Dao Veins, Ling Zhuzhen's cultivation should have recovered to the sixth step of the Great Dao.

This level of cultivation is clearly not enough.

Ding Huan decides to change his strategy.

Since he cannot step into the Fourth Step of the Great Dao in the short term, his previous strategy is no longer viable.

Originally, he planned to lay the Tian Meng Clan's Genetic Slaughter Law within the Wan Dao Mountain Range after he stepped into the Fourth Step of the Great Dao.

Now that he hasn't stepped into the Fourth Step, simply laying out such a law is meaningless.

This kind of Slaughter Law would only provoke the strong cultivators of the Tian Meng Clan, prompting them to quickly annihilate the Great Universe's Human Tribe.

"Daoist Master..."

Upon hearing that Ding Huan emerged from seclusion, Zhu Qingfeng was the first to rush over.

Ding Huan scanned the bustling Wan Dao City with his Divine Will, feeling that this guy does indeed have some capability.

"Not bad. I'm going to take a look around the Wan Dao Mountain Range," Ding Huan praised Zhu Qingfeng briefly.

Zhu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been somewhat worried that Ding Huan might make a big deal and hold him accountable for using the position of Deputy City Lord of Wan Dao City to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures everywhere.

Ding Huan didn't mention it, so clearly, he didn't have this in mind.

"Daoist Master, be careful. Our people report that recently, the Tian Meng Clan cultivators have approached the Protecting Array outside Wan Dao City."

Zhu Qingfeng immediately said.

Indeed, that's the case, Ding Huan felt a heaviness in his heart.

Knowing what the Tian Meng Clan intends to do, and also knowing what the Great Universe's Human Clan Cultivators are about to face, he just lacks the ability to change it.

"Taoist Ancestor!"

Feng Pu and Yi Qi, who control the Cultivator Army, also came to pay their respects upon hearing the news of Ding Huan emerging from seclusion.

Ding Huan nodded. He didn't engage in much conversation with these former Taoist Ancestors and directly entered the Wan Dao Mountain Range.

If there's indeed no way to stop the Tian Meng Clan, then they would have no choice but to withdraw from the universe.

"The Daoist Master's mood seems a bit heavy." Zhu Qingfeng naturally understood what's going on and his tone also carried a similar heaviness.

"He must be worried about the Tian Meng Clan. The Tian Meng Clan's cultivators are almost up against our Protecting Array laid out in the Wan Dao Mountain Range.

I estimate that the Tian Meng Clan will soon attack Wan Dao City." Feng Pu sighed; he too knows what troubles Ding Huan, and he is also anxious.

He knew very well that if the Tianmeng tribe truly attacked, as long as a strong opponent could hold them back, it was only a matter of time before all the human tribe cultivators of the Great Universe would perish.

The key issue was, if it were true as Ling Zhuzhen said, that the Tianmeng tribe still had strong figures from before the Great Universe's calamity, they couldn't possibly fend off these individuals.

Not to mention anything else, just Ling Zhuzhen alone, with only the fifth step of the Great Dao, could already contend with the Qingsha Taoist Ancestor.

This is the difference in power between the saints before the Great Universe'S calamity and the saints now.

Ding Huan, the master of this Dao Court, was even capable of killing the Purple River Taoist Ancestor of the sixth step of the Great Dao while still in the Creation Realm.

Thus, it was an undeniable fact that their Dao was weak.

Yi Qi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Perhaps there's another reason…"

Seeing Zhu Qingfeng and Feng Pu looking toward him, Yi Qi continued, "Master Ding's Great Dao is truly remarkable, it could be said that upon reaching the fourth step, even Ling Tingzhu's Great Dao was not as outstanding as his.

Because his Great Dao is so impressive, he worries about one thing, and that is the shifts in causality.

We all know Master Ding is for the sake of our Great Universe human tribe cultivators.

But the abolition of the titles of Dao Ancestors in various worlds of the Great Universe and the establishment of the Dao Court are also related to Master Ding…"

Yi Qi didn't articulate the rest, but both Feng Pu and Zhu Qingfeng understood in their hearts.

No one continued the topic out of tact.

The meaning was that Ding Huan abolished the Dao Ancestors and various worlds of the Great Universe and formed the cultivator army.

If these changes had no effect whatsoever, and they still couldn't fend off the Tianmeng tribe's invasion, possibly leading to the complete annihilation of the Great Universe's human tribe cultivators,

This vast causality would certainly rest on Ding Huan.

The Great Universe is the highest-level Star Land in this dimension, involving the fate of all the human tribe cultivators in the Great Universe, which is no small causality.

Furthermore, Ding Huan revoked the restrictions of entering the Great Universe after establishing the Dao Court.

In other words, the number of cultivators in the Great Universe now is several times more than before.

Ding Huan's Great Dao is extraordinary, and should it bear such a massive causality, it could not progress any further.

Anyone would be anxious about it.

...

Ding Huan once again entered the Waidao Mountain Range, unaware that several Dao Ancestors he had dismissed thought he was worried about the influence of causality.

If he knew, he would only take it as a joke.

If he wanted to testify to a normal fourth-step Great Dao, he would have done so long ago.

Now he aims to testify the fourth step of the Great Dao by perfecting his own Cosmic Law.

By testifying through his own Cosmic Law, the myriad causalities of the outside world wouldn't affect him.

Two Tianmeng cultivators saw Ding Huan, a human tribe cultivator, daring to come to the Waidao Mountain Range and rushed toward him without hesitation.

Ding Huan didn't even summon the Breaking Tribulation Blade, directly unleashing a straightforward punch.

This punch, carrying spatial tears, blasted a Tianmeng tribe cultivator of the fifth-turn and another of the seventh-turn Saint Realm into fragments, tearing their world apart.

Besides a few Dao Veins taken away by Ding Huan, nothing else caught his eye.

But this punch made Ding Huan think of a problem.

Since he could derive the Genetic Slaughter Law against the Tianmeng tribe through their Genetic laws, he could similarly derive other Tianmeng Genetic laws.

For instance, the Forget Law, which seemed to have been used by the Tianmeng tribe against human tribe cultivators before.

Moreover, for example, the Concealment Dao Principle…

Weren't those Tianmeng tribe strong figures aiming to restore their strength through the resources in the Waidao Mountain Range?

He intended to ensure that these Tianmeng tribe strong figures could never regain their strength.

Even to the extent of making these Tianmeng tribe cultivators forget their mission to eradicate the human tribe.

The Concealment Dao Principle was not strong enough, the Corrosion Law of Dao Foundation would be better…

Derive the Corrosion or even the Dissolution Dao Foundation of Tianmeng strong figures through the bloodline Genetic laws of the Tianmeng tribe.

Ding Huan felt more and more feasible the more he thought about it.

Others couldn't do it, but he could.

If his Great Universe Technique couldn't even achieve this, what point would there be in talking about testifying to the fourth step through his own Cosmic Rules?

To testify to the fourth step, the countless unknown principles and Heaven and Earth Laws derived would be innumerable.

What difficulty would there be in deriving one more Genetic Law to dismantle the Tianmeng tribe's Great Dao?

"Clap! Clap!" A sudden clapping sound emerged.

Then someone said, "Fellow Daoist, you are bold, daring to enter the Waidao Mountain Range alone."

Ding Huan was engrossed in the excitement of having thought of a solution, and upon hearing this voice, he immediately summoned the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

The person could appear before him unnoticed, showing they were no ordinary individual.

A handsome young man with a striking demeanor stood before Ding Huan.

Ding Huan never cared if a man was handsome because, in his mind, the Great Dao was the fundamental criterion for measuring a person.

With the cultivation of the Great Universe Technique and the gradual perfection of the Cosmic Laws constructed, his appearance and physique also tended toward perfection.

Ding Huan never thought much of these.

The fact was the man before him was just too perfect, and because of his long-time wandering in the Void, his face bore a trace of ruggedness.

The man in front of him, aside from his handsomeness, could only be described as elegant and suave.

Clearly, in the Waidao Mountain Range, where it was all Tianmeng tribe cultivators, just hiding for a human tribe cultivator was hard enough, let alone keeping such poise, was indeed rare.

"If I am not mistaken, fellow Daoist should be Master Ding, the master of the Dao Court in the Great Universe." The handsome man cupped his fists, his voice carrying a natural affinity.

Ding Huan nodded and returned the gesture, "I am indeed Ding Huan. May I ask the name of the fellow Daoist?"

"Hou Yucheng." The handsome man smiled slightly, his speech had a natural sense of confidence.
