Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1210 - 1203: Doubts

"Brother Sword Heaven, who do you think this could be?" Although Ding Huan had guessed whom Sword Heaven had in mind, he still asked.

Sword Heaven replied slowly, "Aside from Yuan Jiqiong, I can’t think of anyone else who could lay down such a terrifying Cosmic Origin Principle.

But Yuan has already taken the ninth step on the Great Dao, and his Dao body is already immortal. What’s his purpose behind this?"

In Sword Heaven’s mind, Jiqiong, this powerful Yuan, had absolutely no need to lay down such a principle to prevent others from entering Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Ding Huan could only think of Jiqiong as well. He also couldn’t understand why Jiqiong, who has taken the ninth step on the vast Great Dao, would do something so meaningless.

To Jiqiong, this matter doesn’t even count as trivial.

After all, Eightfold Expanse Canyon holds no value or significance to Jiqiong.

Like a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would they try to hide a Foundation Establishment pill?

"Sword Heaven, have you ever met Yuan Jiqiong?" Ding Huan suddenly asked.

Sword Heaven shook his head, "No."

"Then how do you know Jiqiong is that immortal existence and has taken the ninth step on the Great Dao?" Ding Huan suddenly had an extremely strange idea.

Sword Heaven frowned, wondering why Jiqiong was known as a truly immortal existence.

Isn’t this something everyone knows?

The Yuan is truly immortal, while the Three Paths are immortals in the vast universe; this is widely accepted.

Moreover, beneath the vastness, there must be one path that stands above all others; this is something any cultivator understands.

"Does everyone just assume this is the norm, without any need to question it?" Ding Huan asked again.

Sword Heaven finally understood Ding Huan’s meaning; he looked at Ding Huan in surprise.

Ding Huan shook his head, "I also don’t know if my guess is correct, but none of us have seen Yuan Jiqiong.

Yet everyone feels from their deepest core that Jiqiong is the strongest being, the only one to take the ninth step on the Great Dao.

Besides the influence of the Cosmic Origin Principle, I can’t think of any reason. Similarly, even if my guess is correct, I can’t figure out why Jiqiong would do this, laying out principles to establish himself as the first of the vastness."

Several people fell into silence.

After a while, Ding Huan continued, "Is it possible that Jiqiong has not taken the ninth step in the vastness?"

Sword Heaven said nothing.

Originally, he was sure that Jiqiong must have been a powerful being who had taken the ninth step in the vastness.

Now he couldn’t be sure, because of the principles that were deeply rooted in Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

What if Jiqiong really laid down principles claiming he is the foremost in the vastness beneath?

"Now Eightfold Expanse Canyon is perfect for us to prove the Dao; let’s enter and each find our own great Dao direction."

Ding Huan did not continue discussing Jiqiong. Such matters can only be discussed with Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

Sword Heaven’s respect for Jiqiong is ingrained, making him unsuitable to discuss Yuan Jiqiong.

Furthermore, for Ding Huan, he wishes that Jiqiong has not taken the ninth step on the Great Dao.

If Jiqiong had already taken the ninth step on the Great Dao, becoming a true immortal, he, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu would find it difficult to catch up to Jiqiong.

If Jiqiong truly is pursuing the Great Dao, that’s still fine.

Their cultivation won’t keep up with Jiqiong, but at least Jiqiong won’t bother them.

If Jiqiong also wants to eliminate any threat to his existence completely, that wouldn’t be good for them.

Such things are not just overly worried imaginations; Ding Huan has seen too many.

"Alright, Ye Xuan, let’s go together." Sword Heaven didn’t think as far as Ding Huan.

In his mind, Yuan Jiqiong is the strongest without comparison.

Jiqiong has long since taken the ninth step on the Great Dao, which is something he has already accepted.

Even though Ding Huan’s words are reasonable and have caused some doubt, the impact on him is not significant.

Regardless of whether Ding Huan’s guesses are true or false, he remains himself.

"Okay." Ye Xuan greeted Ding Huan and then was about to go into Eightfold Expanse Canyon with Sword Heaven.

"Brother Sword Heaven, wait a moment." Ding Huan called out to Sword Heaven.

Sword Heaven turned back to look at Ding Huan in confusion.

Ding Huan asked, "Let me ask you one more thing: where did Yuan Jiqiong attain the Dao?"

Sword Heaven blurted out, "At the Vast Dao Ruins, only for it to be abandoned after Yuan attained the Dao. It’s said to be full of junk principles, various useless Dao rhythms, abandoned principles...

Uh, similar to the situation we heard about in Eightfold Expanse Canyon."

"Well, I wish you both early success in proving the vastness and stepping further onto the Great Dao."

Ding Huan didn’t ask further, but simply wished Sword Heaven and Ye Xuan well.

Sword Heaven and Ye Xuan bid farewell to Ding Huan and entered deep into Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

"Master, I..."

Ku Ya looked at Ding Huan with some excitement; she had a premonition that this was the perfect place for proving the Dao, and after Ding Huan taught her the second time, she had longed for solitary cultivation.

In her heart, her direction on the Great Dao was already exceptionally clear, and she knew where her Dao should lead.

And in this place, where primordial energy was so rich, and all rules seemed very clear, where else could be better for cultivation?

Ding Huan looked at Ku Ya, "Ku Ya, I have taught you all that I need to. The Great Universe Technique relies mostly on oneself, this you understand very well.

So what I taught you was not a direct copy of my Great Universe Technique, but the direction for cultivating the Great Universe Technique, as well as the direction for proving the Dao.

This place is probably even rarer than the Ninefold Outskirts I’ve visited before. Not only is the vast primordial energy abundant, but various source principles are also the origin of the Great Dao.

If I’m not mistaken, under the vastness, there is no place like the Eightfold Expanse Canyon for proving the Dao. Whether it’s a dragon or a worm, you go yourself."

"Yes, I’ll go." Ku Ya excitedly bowed and turned to rush into the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Ding Huan did not rush in but was contemplating the Vast Dao Ruins.

After proving the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao, he must go to the Vast Dao Ruins to take a look.

He had never thought of inquiring about Jiqiong’s place of proving the Dao before—it was too negligent... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

If not for the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, then the Vast Dao Ruins might be the best place to prove the Dao.

Even picking up the remnants of Jiqiong’s leftovers would be better than other places.

Thinking of this, the image of Zuo Shanyi’s vile face suddenly popped into Ding Huan’s mind.

This guy was driven out of the Ninefold Outskirts, and with Zuo Shanyi’s character, he definitely wouldn’t let it go.

Zuo Shanyi definitely wouldn’t just sit watching them three stepping into the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao while being anxious in place.

This person must also be thinking of ways to prove the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao.

He can’t enter the Ninefold Outskirts, the Eightfold Expanse Canyon is a place of discarded source principles, so Zuo Shanyi is very likely to have gone to the Vast Dao Ruins.

No way, if Shi Keling steps into the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao first, it would definitely not be good for him.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan immediately rushed into the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Without proving the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao, he cannot leave the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Not just Zuo Shanyi, Si Wu, Wu Dao, Qi Qitang, Che Bu, these people, none of them want him alive.

...

"Boom!"

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu simultaneously fell, the source principle space they constructed nearly shattered.

They were indeed thrown down, a terrifying source principle suction threw them down.

"It seems like it’s no mistake, this place is very likely the Eightfold Expanse Canyon." Mo Wuji was shocked.

Contrary to Ding Huan’s speculation, Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu did not encounter any formidable opponent blockade.

Like Ding Huans luck, he entered the Third Universe through chaotic misaligned source principle space.

Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji, just after rushing out of the misaligned source principle space, were swept away by a source principle vortex.

To resist this source principle vortex, Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu jointly constructed a source principle space.

Both their avenues were their own, their avenues’ source principles originating from themselves.

The source principle space they constructed together was very solid.

Thus, working together, they finally stabilized their situation in this source principle vortex.

Then, all the way, they were carried away by the source principle vortex.

Besides stabilizing the source principle space, they couldn’t do anything else.

Even Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu themselves didn’t know how long they were enveloped in the source principle vortex.

As they emerged from the grip of the source principle vortex, another powerful suction came.

Even the combined effort of Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu couldn’t resist this formidable suction.

Mo Wuji felt some familiar source principles in this suction when Lan Xiaobu uttered: "How does this resemble the aura of Eightfold Expanse Canyon?"

Because of Lan Xiaobu’s words, Mo Wuji confirmed they might truly be about to be swept into the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Once entering Eightfold Expanse Canyon, he wouldn’t have time to send a message to Ding Huan.

So in a haste, Mo Wuji sent a word to Ding Huan.

After this word was sent out, he and Lan Xiaobu were sucked away by the terrible suction.

Fortunately, they had already jointly built a source principle space; this suction tore their source principle space multiple times.

Under their alternating repair, they still supported until the moment of breaking free from the suction.

"Damn, this source principle suction is too crazy and terrifying; if either of them were alone, they’d have been torn to shreds." Lan Xiaobu was still traumatized.

Mo Wuji agreed with Lan Xiaobu’s statement.

If he and Lan Xiaobu had been swept away by this suction alone, not to mention being shredded, even the world of their avenues and their primordial souls would be completely rent apart.

"I never thought the Ninefold Outskirts and the Eightfold Expanse Canyon were actually connected." Mo Wuji exclaimed again.

"But the source principles of the Eightfold Expanse Canyon seem older than those of the Ninefold Outskirts, even from before the formation of the vast..." Blue Xiaobu initially said this casually but felt something amiss midway.

Mo Wuji also sensed something was wrong.

He thought of the scene when he cooperated with Ding Huan and Lan Xiaobu to open Eightfold Expanse Canyon, those source principles indeed existed before the formation of the vast.

If so, then why is it rumored that Eightfold Expanse Canyon is the initial accompanying space left from the initial split of the vast?

"Xiao Bu, let’s work together to open this source principle realm." Mo Wuji immediately said.

Regardless of the situation, only by truly entering the Eightfold Expanse Canyon can we find out.

Although he and Lan Xiaobu were certain this was the entrance to the Eightfold Expanse Canyon based on the overflowing source principles, neither Mo Wuji nor Lan Xiaobu dared to be sure.

(Good night, fellow Daoists!)
