Chapter 907 - 900: We Meet Again
"Brother Ding, have you already stepped into the true Fourth Step of the Great Dao? Is the Fourth Step of the Great Dao really as Jing Xizhen said, becoming a Saint of Words?"
As soon as they sat down, Ling Zhuzhen couldn't help but ask.
Did Ding Huan step into the Fourth Step of the Great Dao?
Hou Yucheng was also surprised as he looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan did not hide it: "Correct, I indeed used the Law of Calamity to prove the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, and indeed the Fourth Step of the Great Dao is becoming a Saint of Words..."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, both Ling Zhuzhen and Hou Yucheng's eyes sparkled.
Hou Yucheng had long reached the Creation Realm.
Throughout his years of comprehension, he understood one truth, which was that the Great Dao Fourth Step in the great cosmos wasn't the kind of Fourth Step he desired.
So all along, he has been seeking a way to prove the kind of Fourth Step of the Great Dao he needed.
This time in the Dao Court, after hearing Jing Xizhen mention a Cosmic Star Land with more perfect rules than the Cosmic Law, Hou Yucheng had long planned to leave here to seek the true essence of the Great Dao.
"Brother Ding Huan, quickly tell us about it."
Ling Zhuzhen had a good relationship with Ding Huan and asked directly.
Ding Huan slowly said, "Actually, Jing Xizhen said some things wrong. I can responsibly tell you, even if one becomes a Saint of Words, it doesn't necessarily mean they are truly stronger than the Fourth Step of the Great Dao in the great cosmos.
Because the Fourth Step of the Great Dao in the great cosmos is not a false fourth step but a true fourth step, the weakness comes mainly due to the issues with the Heaven and Earth Rules.
He exaggerated when he said that everyone at the Sixth Step from that place could crush him.
The same Fourth Step of the Great Dao, even meaning the same Saint of Words, can have vast differences in strength."
Ling Zhuzhen looked at Ding Huan in confusion: "Brother Ding Huan, then how about your Saint of Words? How strong is your strength?"
Ding Huan said solemnly, "My Dao is somewhat different from yours, so I can prove the Fourth Step here, but you cannot.
As for whether my Saint of Words is strong or weak, I'm not very sure yet, but my Dao will only grow stronger as my world becomes more complete."
The reason Ding Huan said he wasn't sure now is that he also doesn't know how the rules of the Great Dao in his perfected world compare in strength to those in the world Jing Xizhen mentioned.
He is indeed different from others.
For others of the same realm, the strength comparison is entirely a matter of the Dao's strength, the grasp of Dao insight, and various methods.
With cultivators of the same realm, the first measure of strength is based on one's own Dao world rules, followed by others.
Currently, his Saint of Words is not the match for Jing Xizhen. When he reaches the Fifth Step, his strength will increase cumulatively, and at that time, crushing Jing Xizhen won't be impossible.
Every time a law in his Dao world is perfected, his strength will increase a little.
Theoretically speaking, his Dao has no upper limit, and it is not much affected by the heaven and earth rules of the Star Land he resides in.
Others' Daos may also improve with insight but have upper limits.
That upper limit is determined by the heaven and earth rules of the Star Land they are in.
In terms of strength, even if it improves, it can't surpass the Cosmic Star Land where they proved their Dao.
"Old Ling, Brother Hou, I can prove the Fourth Step here, but you might not be able to due to the Dao's restrictions.
Another thing, I didn't arrange anything for Brother Hou because I hope Brother Hou won't use Merit Power from the great cosmos..."
Hearing this, Ling Zhuzhen got a little flustered: "Brother Ding Huan, what about me?"
He was planning to follow Jing Xizhen and use Merit Power to Slay Dao.
Ding Huan said helplessly: "Old Ling, you should know why Jing Xizhen wants to return to the great cosmos.
Jing Xizhen's reaching the Eighth Step of the Great Dao relied on the Heaven and Earth Rules of the great cosmos. Even if the great cosmos re-evolves, many Heaven and Earth Rules won't change.
So he can only Slay Dao in the great cosmos, unless it is his own Dao. Clearly, it is not his own Dao.
So Old Ling, for you to Slay Dao, you must also do it in the great cosmos.
To protect your Dao Body while Slaying Dao in the great cosmos, you must use Merit Power, which Jing Xizhen was not mistaken about.
Hou Yucheng is different. He has known for a long time that the Fourth Step here is not strong, so he has always been seeking other ways to prove the Fourth Step, and he hasn't chosen to step into the Fourth Step, so he doesn't need to rely on Merit Power here to Slay Dao."
Ling Zhuzhen sighed: "Sigh, I painstakingly recovered to the Sixth Step of the Great Dao; knowing this, I might as well not have recovered."
Ding Huan smiled: "Whether you recover or not, you must Slay Dao here and then re-prove it."
Ling Zhuzhen did not reply; he understood this reasoning.
He had long known that the Fourth Step couldn't be proved here.
However, he had no idea there was a place with more perfect Heaven and Earth Rules than the great cosmos.
One must know that before the Cosmic Calamity, several of them Dao Ancestors had already explored this plane, and even visited other planes.
Only the great cosmos's Heaven and Earth Rules are the strongest, most perfect.
Also, the only supreme Cosmic Star Land.
"Ding Huan, when are you leaving here to go to the place Jing Xizhen mentioned?" Hou Yucheng can step into the Fourth Step at any time now.
He just lacks a place to prove his Dao.
He cannot use his own Dao world's Dao Principle to prove becoming a Saint of Words; he must go to a truly high-level Cosmic Star Land.
"I plan to leave now, but I need to first go to a mid-level cosmos to meet my wife. Brother Yu Cheng can wait here, and then we can go together to the place Jing Xizhen mentioned..."
After speaking, Ding Huan took out a Direction Crystal Ball and handed it to Hou Yucheng: "This is a copied Direction Crystal Ball. In case I am delayed, you can go ahead first."
"Alright, I'll wait for you here. We are kindred spirits, so feel free to call me by my name." Hou Yucheng took the crystal ball and put it away.
"Then I will work hard to earn some Merit here, Slay Dao first, and then join you." Ling Zhuzhen immediately said.
He suspected that although he used to be a Dao Ancestor, his Dao might not even match Hou Yucheng's.
In Ding Huan's eyes, the truth was, Ling Zhuzhen's Dao, the Dao Ancestor's, indeed wasn't as good as Hou Yucheng's.
Hou Yucheng can transform into a Dao Principle, this shows that Hou Yucheng's Dao has become his own, and moreover, Hou Yucheng's Dao is related to the Daoism.
This kind of Dao is very suitable for battle, even Ling Zhuzhen, who is a Dao Ancestor, cannot match it.
Ding Huan stood up: "In that case, we shall meet again."
As soon as they left Ling Zhuzhen's cave mansion, Jia Baihe said:
"Big Brother, before we leave the Great Universe, I want to look for Sister Yishang. If not for Sister Yishang, I would have perished long ago."
Previously, Ding Huan did not have that kind of strength, so she never mentioned it.
Now that Ding Huan has proven himself as a Saint of Words, it should be possible to go and visit.
"Do you know where?"
"I know, back then I asked foster father."
"Since it is so, let us go see."
...
When Ding Huan and Jia Baihe passed through the Void Square at the entrance of the Great Universe, it was a hundred times more prosperous than before.
No one checks if outsiders meet the criteria to enter the Great Universe anymore, as for the magical treasure, the Ten Thousand-Cosmos Shield, it had long been sent by Ding Huan to Tao City.
Anyone can enter the Great Universe, there is no restriction.
Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot: "Baihe, you control the Cosmic Pot to proceed, I will merge with the Eternal Talisman."
The Talisman Spirit of the Eternal Talisman was damaged, but now it is almost recovered.
Both the Eternal Talisman and its Talisman Spirit were in Ding Huan's hands, and he decided to restore the Eternal Talisman first.
The Heaven and Earth Rules of the Great Universe, and the rules of the Cosmic Void outside the Great Universe, were all familiar to Ding Huan.
As long as the Eternal Talisman is in hand, he can swiftly return to the Great Universe at any time.
The Talisman Spirit of the Eternal Talisman and the Eternal Talisman itself were originally one, Ding Huan only needed to refine it again.
After refining the Eternal Talisman, Ding Huan did not take over the Cosmic Pot, but continued to sense his own Great Dao World.
He had just proven himself as a Saint of Words, and his Great Dao was in the period of rapid perfection.
Ding Huan was startled awake by the violent tremor of the Cosmic Pot.
Without thinking, he rushed over.
The Cosmic Pot had already stopped, and Jia Baihe had already summoned her magical treasure, Yijie was also on guard at the side.
An immensely powerful field locked onto the space where the Cosmic Pot was, isolating this area from the vast Cosmic Void.
Ding Huan didn't even need to look, he was too familiar with this field, it was Bi.
"Haha…"
The sound of Bi's mad laughter could be heard.
What a surprise.
He truly did not expect to encounter Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot again in the void.
This kid indeed has some skills, to be able to escape from the clutches of that vile woman, Qingsha.
He had always been wary of Qingsha, so much so that he dared not return to the Great Universe.
He perhaps understood that as long as he dared to enter the Great Universe, regardless of whether he was Shape Shifting, he would not pass the barrier of the Ten Thousand-Cosmos Shield.
What a pity, if only he advanced to the sixth step of the Great Dao, he would have a way to contend with Qingsha.
Unfortunately, in this void, it was very difficult for his strength to progress.
"Ding Huan, life is truly a series of unexpected encounters, I didn't think we would meet again, even in this vast void." Bi finally calmed down from his excitement.
He knew better than anyone how many treasures Ding Huan had.
In fact, the Cosmic Pot wasn't the best thing on Ding Huan.
Ding Huan said coldly: "Indeed, we meet again."
To be honest, when he left the Great Universe, he originally planned to leave the task of taking down Bi to Ling Zhuzhen.
Thinking that Ling Zhuzhen needed to accumulate Merit Power for Slaying Dao, it would definitely delay Ling Zhuzhen's Great Dao.
He held back from mentioning it.
Now this guy delivered himself to him, truly, one brings one's own ruin by doing evil things.
"Ding Huan, do you know what I've been through all these years? Today, at last, there is some compensation." Bi said as he confidently stepped onto the Cosmic Pot.
All these years he had been desperately searching for a second Star Land similar to the Great Universe, hoping to cultivate to the sixth step.
Alas, there was only one Great Universe.
Unless he went to a medium Star Land.
But a medium Cosmic Star Land would not help his Great Dao one bit, even if he stayed for a hundred million years.
Ding Huan said lightly: "Oh, then why don't you think about how my Cosmic Pot's restriction was opened? And why don't you think about how I managed to appear here?"
Bi was taken aback.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it, but Ding Huan's strength was right there, what was there to think about?
Back then when he brought Ding Huan into the Great Universe, Ding Huan hadn't even proven the Dao of Immortality.
In just a few thousand years, no matter how strong Ding Huan became, how strong could he get?
As for Jia Baihe, he could see at a glance that the cultivation was quite ordinary.
