Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1226 - 1220: Mo Wuji’s Doubts

Under the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan's Daoist Skill infiltrated the Hao Han Golden Saber, allowing him to clearly sense the sea of smoke-like source principle restrictions within it.

Ding Huan did not intend to refine these source principle restrictions, as he never planned to use the Hao Han Golden Saber as his magical treasure.

From the very start, Ding Huan employed the Great Universe Technique to gradually strip away the source principles forming these restrictions, thereby reversing the energy separation of the source principles within the Hao Han Golden Saber.

Ding Huan was attempting for the first time to reverse-engineer a Hao Han magical treasure. When he attempted to use his own Great Dao source principles to reverse-engineer the first source principle of the Hao Han Golden Saber, he realized that it would be impossible to complete in a short time.

For just this first source principle, it might take at least a thousand years to reverse-engineer it.

To fully reverse-engineer this Hao Han magical treasure, the time required could be calculated in the tens of thousands of years.

He couldn't afford to waste time trying to reverse-engineer the Hao Han magical treasure with its restrictions, at least not now when he didn't have that much time.

He decided to perform the task of stalling Shi Keling first.

He couldn't let too much time pass, allowing Shi Keling to slip away.

The Hao Han Daoist Pit has no teleportation arrays. Even with a Chaos Treasure-level flying treasure, it would still take thousands of years to travel.

What Ding Huan could do was continuously accelerate the speed of the Cosmic Pot.

...

A million miles away from Ten Thousand Veins Lake, a Teleportation Light suddenly blossomed and then dispersed.

Once the Teleportation Light dissipated, a group of individuals appeared in the Void.

"There's a source principle planar realm, seemingly preventing Divine Will penetration…"

Lan Xiaobu had immediately sensed the outer boundary of the source principle planar realm after emerging from the Teleportation Light.

Sword Heaven smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this source principle planar realm is one I constructed. It's to prevent being spied upon by Divine Will during teleportation."

Mo Wuji asked, "Does every one of the Hao Han Five Ancestors have a Teleportation Talisman to this place?"

Sword Heaven affirmed: "My Teleportation Talismans are the fewest; the others even have Teleportation Talismans outside every realm lord's cave mansion."

Mo Wuji did not ask any more.

With so many Teleportation Talismans, it's certain that outside these realm lords' cave mansions, there must be source principle monitoring planar realms.

This is Sword Heaven, whereas the rest of the Hao Han Five Ancestors might have already observed the situation outside Ten Thousand Veins Lake through this monitoring source principle planar realm.

The ten realm masters appear incredibly glorious, wielding the power over the infinite universe's life and death.

Seemingly, apart from the One Yuan Three Dao and Five Ancestors, beneath the vastness, they are nothing less than gods.

In general perception, the ten realm masters are independent.

What about the One Yuan Three Dao, what about the Hao Han Five Ancestors? They wouldn't interfere with the actions of the ten realm masters.

In actuality, every move they make is under the surveillance of the Hao Han Five Ancestors.

If needed, the Hao Han Five Ancestors can appear before them at any time.

Should any top-tier treasure emerge in the First Universe, or should an unexpected change occur, the Hao Han Five Ancestors would be the first to know.

As for whether the Three Dao possesses similar means, Mo Wuji didn't need to ask; he already knew there wouldn't be none at all…

Mo Wuji's heart suddenly leaped at this thought.

Even someone like Sword Heaven, who has dedicated his life to Sword Dao, pays attention to developments in the First Universe.

Yet the Eightfold Expanse Canyon being left as a contingency by the One Yuan Jiqiong - didn't he pay the least bit attention?

Even if Jiqiong departed from this vastness, surely he wouldn't ignore all that exists within it, would he?

Even if he's indifferent to beyond the Nine Realms, he would at least pay some heed to the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

If he were in the same position, he wouldn't ignore the contingency he left behind.

If that's the case, why did they divide the Eightfold Expanse Canyon without seeing the shadow of One Yuan Jiqiong?

It's accurate to say without the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, neither he, Ding Huan, nor Lan Xiaobu, no matter how high their aptitude or formidable their techniques, could step into the Hao Han Ninth Step.

The Hao Han Ninth Step and the usual Ninth Step differ vastly.

To step into the Hao Han Ninth Step, one must first understand how the cosmic vastness came to be.

One must also understand how this cosmic vastness initially divided into the myriad universes.

From beyond the Nine Realms, through the myriad source principles left beyond the Nine Realms, they indeed understood how the cosmic vastness initially divided into the myriad universes.

But they are not Dao Spirits; how could they know how the cosmic vastness came to be?

Without knowing how the cosmic vastness originated, how can one step into the Hao Han Ninth Step parallel to it?

Could one form an imaginative construct of the cosmic vastness's formation process and the source principles responsible for its creation?

It's nonsense.

Understanding how the cosmic vastness was formed — unless one personally witnesses and feels the source principles that formed it — no amount of imagination can reveal how the cosmic vastness was formed.

Even if your imagination is boundless, living within the cosmic vastness limits your thoughts; your thoughts must operate within it.

Thus, you still cannot conceive how the cosmic vastness was formed, and certainly not how to construct its source principles through mere imagination.

To construct the source principles forming the cosmic vastness and understand its origin:

There is only one way, and that is to leave the cosmic vastness.

Stand outside of it, watching the form of the cosmic vastness.

The space occupied by the Eightfold Expanse Canyon being broken should indeed be outside the cosmic vastness.

Back then, when they took action in the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, they did break through its vast barrier.

But that terrifying endless void made one feel uneasy at just a glance.

Even if they had stepped into the ninth step of the vast realm, they wouldn't dare enter such a void, which is more terrifying than chaos, let alone if they haven't reached the ninth step?

All of this indicated that the Eightfold Expanse Canyon is exceedingly important, to the extent that even a singularity cannot ignore it.

If the Eightfold Expanse Canyon is so important, why didn't Jiqiong pay close attention to it, instead letting them easily prove their Dao there?

"Wu Ji, have you discovered any issues?" Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji have collaborated for a long time.

Judging from Mo Wuji's expression, he knew something was amiss.

Mo Wuji then smiled slightly, "It's just some small matters, I'll talk about it later."

Lan Xiaobu knew right away that these couldn't be small matters; Mo Wuji would only say "I'll talk about it later" when it's inconvenient to talk now.

Among their group, Ye Xuan was definitely considered one of their own.

Despite Ku Ya's surname, she broke away from the Ku Family in front of Ku Yue, being Ding Huan's disciple, Mo Wuji's friend, she too was considered one of their own.

Only Shen Dai and Sword Heaven remained.

Both Shen Dai and Sword Heaven were vast Dao Spirits.

Mo Wuji's comment was certainly to avoid Shen Dai and Sword Heaven, indicating that what he wanted to say was related to the vast realm, perhaps even to the vast Dao Spirits.

While Sword Heaven didn't fear the Three Dao, as for the Five Ancestors, they were even less concerning to him.

The only thing that might cause Sword Heaven apprehension was Jiqiong alone.

Speculating it is related to Jiqiong, Lan Xiaobu stopped inquiring further and said, "Let's head to the Ten Thousand Veins Lake now for a swift resolution."

Mo Wuji also wanted a swift resolution.

Not understanding Jiqiong's intentions left Mo Wuji somewhat uneasy. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As soon as they arrived at the Ten Thousand Veins Lake, Shen Dai eagerly said, "Brothers, I was right. Mo Yuantian indeed brought people into the Ten Thousand Veins Lake, and they're likely having a meeting now."

Even as a member of the Ten Realm Lords, albeit barely making the count.

Since the Ten Thousand Veins Lake had been opened before, Shen Dai knew some details.

...

Shen Dai was indeed not wrong, at this moment, in the depths of the Ten Thousand Veins Hall, five people were seated.

Mo Yuantian, Bu Shi, Qu Ba, Kui Feng, Zuo Yang.

Mo Yuantian spoke with a tone of sorrow, "Whenever we gather at the Ten Thousand Veins Lake, something big is bound to happen.

Yet, never has it been as dire as today, which might even threaten our lives.

The First Universe bears the responsibility of presiding over myriad realms, and we, the Ten Realm Lords, have been exhausting ourselves for the survival of countless universes.

However, some things cannot be changed by us; see how there are only five of us sitting here today.

The First Universe was supposed to have ten Realm Lords. Ji Yijian was selfish, let's not mention him. But Shang and Shen Dai, despite being among the Ten Realm Lords, betrayed us.

Dou Ling was mercilessly slain by Ding Huan, Ku Baizhen was incited by Shang and escaped the First Universe. As for us, we even face threats of death.

When did the Realm Lord of the First Universe under the vast become so humble..."

Mo Yuantian's tone shifted from sorrow to indignation, and by the end, he had stood up.

Maybe because Bu Shi was here, he didn't mention Huo Shi.

Qu Ba slammed the chair, standing up in anger, "The First Universe belongs to our Ten Realm Lords; being threatened on our turf, needing to escape secretly, what is this? I, Qu Ba, can't swallow this anger."

Kui Feng said calmly, "Since you can't swallow this anger, why don't you go teach Ding Huan a lesson. Oh, yes, along with Sword Heaven, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu.

I heard Wu Dao and Cang Fei were killed by them, maybe you can teach them a lesson too."

Wu Dao and Cang Fei were killed after they left the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, so they weren't present at that time.

Qu Ba was innately fierce with a tendency towards slaughter, often annihilating a low-level Star Land.

If Kui Feng dared mock him like this under usual circumstances, he would have acted long ago, though today, he could only forcefully swallow his anger.

To go teach those few people a lesson?

Does he not value his life?

Mo Yuantian raised his hand, "There's no need to quarrel, let me be brief. With such change in the First Universe, continuing to stay in our cave mansion is undoubtedly risky.

Fortunately, we have harvested many resources at the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, I suggest we make one last move and then leave this place.

Those who dare confront us in the First Universe, we will come back to deal with them one by one in the future."

What Mo Yuantian said truly wasn't just consolation.

In his heart, with the vast Primordial Vein he possessed, suppressing Ding Huan and others in the future was only a matter of time.

The Three Dao and the Five Ancestors being more formidable than them wasn't due to talent, solely because the Three Dao and Five Ancestors possessed a vast Primordial Vein, whereas they did not.

"What to do?" Zuo Yang asked confusedly.

Mo Yuantian snorted, "Wanting to control the First Universe, they haven't the qualifications. First, let's destroy all Source Principle position realms in the First Universe.

Let the First Universe and low-level universes have no barriers, meanwhile let's destroy every destructible low-level universe..."

"Oh, too bad you won't have the chance." Lan Xiaobu's voice abruptly sounded.

Each of them, including Mo Yuantian, looked in panic at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Veins Hall.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoists!)
