Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1204 - 1197: Qi Qitang

Ding Huan opened the Source Principle restriction of the Entropy Mansion, yet no one stepped forward to stop him.

"Where are those Realm Lords?" Ye Xuan also sensed that something was amiss.

He had been to the First Universe before and knew clearly that the Realm Lords of the First Universe were extremely xenophobic.

Not to mention that they had actively torn open the restriction where Entropy's cave was located. Even if they entered the First Universe and were discovered, they would definitely be killed.

"They must know that a great change is about to come. These Realm Lords couldn't sit still anymore. I reckon they're either seeking to break through or have gone beyond the Ninth Step."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Ye Xuan wondered, "Didn't you clear out beyond the Ninth Step? What are these people going there for?"

Ding Huan chuckled, "Have you forgotten about Shi Keling? This guy isn't one to suffer losses. He couldn't gain any advantage beyond the Ninth Step. How could he let us be at ease beyond the Ninth Step?"

This kid will definitely spread news beyond the Ninth Step. By that time, not only will Wu Dao come back to trouble us, but those who have a chance to take the Ninth Step will probably swarm over.

We've cleared out beyond the Ninth Step, but those people don't know. They think they can corner us beyond the Ninth Step."

"Hopefully, Shi Keling has good luck and doesn't run into us. Otherwise, no matter what, we can't let him have another chance at reincarnation."

Ding Huan shook his head, "I know this guy well. After leaving beyond the Ninth Step, he'll definitely find a new place to prove the Ninth Step of the Grand Dao.

So, if we don't quickly step into the Ninth Step of the Grand Dao, next time we see him, we might not be teaching him a lesson; we'd be the ones running away."

"Goodness, is he that formidable? What path does he cultivate?" Ye Xuan still trusted Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not very clear now. It's somewhat akin to the Demon Path, yet not quite. He started much like me, acquiring a leather scroll.

Eventually, he broke free from the confinement of that leather scroll and walked his own path of the Great Dao..."

Ding Huan thought of Tai Xu.

This guy originally wanted to live as a being akin to the primordial unity, but he ended up becoming a joke.

While Ding Huan was unsure about others, he knew that he and Zuo Shanyi had both leveraged the leather scroll to walk their own path of the Great Dao, no longer under Tai Xu's control.

It's unknown if Tai Xu is hiding somewhere licking his wounds and regretting it now?

Once he proves the Ninth Step of the Grand Dao, he must drag this guy out and eliminate him.

After entering the Entropy Mansion range, Ding Huan saw a Teleportation Array Group.

Looks like this Entropy guy really loves to wander around, even setting up a bunch of teleportation arrays at his own cave mansion.

Ding Huan quickly found the teleportation array leading to Shifang Universe City. Without any delay, the two immediately activated the teleportation array.

...

Setting up a long-distance teleportation array in the First Universe is no simple task.

Entropy not only established the teleportation arrays, but also perfectly arranged the Source Principle of the transmission space.

Ding Huan and Ye Xuan almost felt nothing and landed outside Shifang Universe City.

"Why are there so many people?"

Ye Xuan was surprised to see the crowd outside Shifang Universe City.

He hadn't expected such a prosperous Tao City to exist in the First Universe.

Ding Huan explained, "As far as I know, Shifang Universe City has a population, though it usually tops out around a million.

Although we haven't entered the city, judging from the cultivators outside, the population of Shifang Universe City is definitely more than a million.

It appears those Realm Lords are almost ignoring the cultivators pouring into the First Universe. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a crowd."

Even Ku Ya was able to casually enter the First Universe, which suggests that the strong in the First Universe are genuinely no longer restricting the entry of outside cultivators as they once did.

Also, even the Five Ancestors of the Vast Realm feel a sense of crisis. If the Realm Lords of the First Universe didn't feel it, that would be strange.

It's essential to strive for improvement in their Great Dao now; otherwise, if the vast reformation happens, those with weak cultivation will only face death.

Shifang Universe City had long been locked by the Source Principle界, making it impossible for Divine Will to penetrate inside.

Ding Huan didn't contact Entropy immediately, but he was certain Entropy knew they had arrived.

They had used Entropy's teleportation array to come here, so Entropy would surely know.

Since Entropy knew they came, and yet hadn't come out to meet them, nor even sent a message, it indicated that the situation was rather tricky.

Entropy only gave him a heads-up, unwilling to openly stand with him.

Ding Huan suspected Entropy's alert might not have been voluntary, but forced.

The purpose might have been to lure him here.

If that's the case, how strong must the entity threatening Entropy be?

Ding Huan refrained from using Divine Will to probe forcefully.

Even Entropy dared not provoke such an entity; if it were simple, that would be strange.

"Should we go into the city first to take a look?" Ye Xuan suggested.

Ding Huan nodded, contemplating whether to shape-shift before entering Shifang Universe City.

However, he quickly realized he and Ye Xuan must have already been under surveillance.

Without a doubt, Entropy must have been coerced into informing him.

If they don't enter the city now, people will soon come to invite them.

To go in or to leave now?

The Communication Bead on his wrist flashed, and Ding Huan thought it was a message from Entropy. Using his Divine Will to scan it, he found out it was actually from Jian Tian.

Jian Tian had just walked out of the void where the dislocated Source Principle was located and immediately sent a message to the three of them.

Ding Huan was delighted and sent a message back to Jian Tian.

The message was simple: "Brother Jian Tian, this junior is being threatened in Shifang Universe City, please lend me a hand."

Sword Heaven's reply was very simple, only two words: "Wait for me."

"Haha, let's go, we can go in now."

Knowing Swordsman would come over, Ding Huan felt reassured.

He believed that Sword Heaven would definitely arrive at Shifang Universe City in the shortest time.

"Since you're so slow, I decided to come and meet you." A sudden voice rang out, and immediately a figure landed in front of Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's heart sank.

He actually had no sense of when this fellow appeared.

Knowing well he was not this person's match, Ding Huan still extended his own domain while beginning to size up the person in front of him.

This guy was of average stature, with linen tied around his head, fair skin, and surprisingly handsome looks.

It was just that when Ding Huan felt the boundless waves of Dao Rhythm from the opponent, he was already prepared to escape with Ye Xuan.

This person's strength would definitely not be weaker than Sword Heaven's...

He wasn't sure when Sword Heaven could arrive here either.

Without means of teleportation, flying here could take a hundred years, which was not impossible.

"How may I address you, fellow Daoist?" Ding Huan asked calmly, without cupping his hands or saluting.

After asking this, Ding Huan no longer needed an answer; he already knew who this fellow was.

Because three more people came out from the Shifang Universe City.

Ji Yijian, this fellow was originally his partner, only now his hair was disheveled, his Dao Rhythm unstable, evidently quite injured, and had no time to heal.

Besides Ji Yijian, there were two others, one of whom was Shang.

Shang hung his head low, seemingly somewhat guilty.

Beside Shang stood Di Xin.

This guy was glaring at him with murderous intent, as if he wished he could devour him on the spot.

Ding Huan felt a surge of emotions.

He truly shouldn't have traded with Ji Yijian, as he had exchanged half of Di Xin's body with Ji Yijian.

Now, Ji Yijian's cultivation had dropped significantly, yet Di Xin remained unscathed.

Not only that, Di Xin seemed even stronger now, suggesting he had recovered well.

With Ji Yijian and Di Xin both here, and the person in front of him having strength not much different from Sword Heaven, Ding Huan could already surmise with certainty that this fellow was Qi Qitang, one of the Five Ancestors of the Cosmos.

"You're not worthy of knowing who I am. Hand over what belongs to fellow Daoist Di Xin."

Qi Qitang was asking Ding Huan, yet his Great Dao Domain had already completely locked this space.

Ding Huan glanced at Shang.

If he had not sent a message to Shang, Qi Qitang wouldn't have known he was back.

In the end, it was he himself who exposed his return.

Seeing Ding Huan's gaze on him, Shang said with a mournful face, "Mr. Ding, in front of Ancestor Qi, I don't dare to hide anything."

The implication was, who asked you to send me a message?

"Where's my disciple?" Ding Huan didn't blame Shang.

Given his relationship with Shang, it would be strange for Shang to help him in front of Qi Qitang.

One had to admit, Shang really was a slick old hand.

Even knowing he couldn't escape, he still had to explain himself to Qi Qitang.

Shang knew his explanation would not incur Qi Qitang's wrath.

Moreover, if Ding Huan managed to escape in the future, there would likely be no blame on Shang.

"She disrespected Ancestor Qi and was locked in the center of Shifang Universe City's plaza." Shang cautiously said.

This time, Ding Huan's Divine Will had no hesitation at all, directly tearing open the Source Principle Restriction of Shifang Universe City, landing inside.

Indeed, at first glance, he saw Ku Ya with her head hung low.

Qi Qitang looked at Ding Huan in astonishment. Under his domain, Ding Huan could extend his Divine Will to tear open Shifang Universe City's Source Principle Restriction, not bad indeed.

"Qi Qitang, the Great Net is not with me. Even if you tear open my Great Dao World, you won't find it." Retrieving his Divine Will, Ding Huan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qi Qitang frowned: "Did you really go beyond the Nine Dimensions? How is that possible?"

Earlier, Qi Qitang also believed Ding Huan went beyond the Nine Dimensions, and he himself was preparing to go there.

But later he thought, what is Sword Heaven? He doesn't even give face to Qi Qitang, how could he possibly help Ding Huan tear open the Nine Dimensions Wall?

He thought he understood Sword Heaven well, so he judged that Sword Heaven wouldn't help someone as insignificant as Ding Huan.

As for the matter of Sword Heaven being schemed against by Wu Dao and Ding Huan saving him, Qi Qitang had no knowledge of it.

Once Wu Dao returned, Qi Qitang hesitated even more.

He figured that even if he went beyond the Nine Dimensions, there was no great advantage in facing someone as ruthless as Wu Dao. A single misstep could cost him his life.

Additionally, at this time, he heard rumors of someone searching for Ding Huan in Shifang Universe City.

How could he miss that? He returned to Shifang Universe City at once.

What if Ding Huan hadn't gone beyond the Nine Dimensions and the rumors were false?

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
