Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 266 - 261: Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths (Extra for Alliance Hierarch reader 141001131226291)

One day later, Ding Huan tied the parachute to the outside of his pack. He did not summon the Separation Spear, nor did he summon a Flying Treasure.

Instead, he carefully made his way down the canyon wall using rock climbing techniques.

Ding Huan was certain there were people in this canyon.

What he couldn’t be sure of was how strong their cultivation was. Whether it was one person or many.

Therefore, he absolutely couldn’t reveal the fact that he could extend his Divine Will here.

That was his trump card.

Though he was climbing down the canyon, Ding Huan’s speed was quite fast.

This canyon’s depth was clearly beyond Ding Huan’s expectations.

Ding Huan wasn’t just climbing downwards; he was also carefully examining his surroundings while his Divine Will hovered a few meters around him.

Once there was a problem, his Divine Will would immediately retract.

Ding Huan did indeed find a problem; there were all kinds of prohibitions everywhere.

Prohibition of entrapment and killing, prohibitions of attack, and the most terrifying were a bunch of anti-flying prohibitions.

These prohibitions did not bear any man-made traces, which indicated that they might be naturally formed natural prohibitions.

It was very difficult for natural prohibitions to form offensive and killing prohibitions, but in this place, it was quite normal.

This was a battlefield filled with the aura of slaughter.

These auras of slaughter, after countless years of accumulation and transformation, coupled with the merger of the Dao Rhythms of deceased cultivators, the formation of these natural entrapment and killing prohibitions was not impossible.

Apart from these anti-flying prohibitions, Ding Huan faintly felt that the spatial rules here seemed to have faults.

That is to say, in this place, even if he activated a Teleportation Talisman, he wouldn’t be able to teleport out.

This discovery made Ding Huan even more cautious.

The canyon seemed bottomless, and at his current rate, he had climbed down for three days yet still hadn’t reached the ground.

Just as Ding Huan was preparing to extend his Divine Will a bit farther to carefully investigate his surroundings, suddenly a tremendous force swept over him, rolling Ding Huan directly off the cliff face.

Ding Huan’s first reaction was not to extend his Divine Will to stop his descent, but to pull the parachute.

Only during the rapid descent did he slowly extend his Divine Will, and when he felt that his Divine Will could extend, he retracted it again.

He could be sure that his sudden fall just now was not by chance; it was very likely that someone was scheming against him.

At this time, he needed to hide his true strength even more.

During the rapid descent, Ding Huan tried hard to open his eyes to inspect his surroundings.

He quickly discovered something wrong; on the edge of this cliff were carved various Array Patterns, among them not only attack Array Patterns but also monitoring and anti-flying Array Patterns.

Different from the various prohibitions he saw when he first came down, which were all naturally formed,

Here, all were man-made prohibitions.

Sure enough, someone was messing around.

At this moment, the parachute had already opened, and surprisingly, this undersea canyon was not in total darkness; it was greyish and you could still make out some things.

A few minutes later, Ding Huan saw the ground.

"Yi," an exclamation reached him, and Ding Huan’s gaze caught sight of the astonished fellow.

This was a man with disheveled hair and a beard like a chicken’s nest, looking at him in amazement, seemingly marveling at how someone could come up with such a method.

"Bang!" Ding Huan landed on the ground, and immediately he was stunned by the scene before him.

A Qinghe, thousands of zhang long, appeared before him.

To be precise, a river composed of Deep Sea Crystal.

Deep Sea Crystal is also a rarity, as it is a Level 9 material.

Such a material has an extremely wide range of uses, not only for making Magical Treasures but also Array Flags, talismans, and other valuable items.

In the Cultivation World, such things are expensive and not commonly seen.

The main reason is that Deep Sea Crystal is very difficult to form; it requires infinite years, combined with the fusion of starry sky primordial energy, in a specific environment to emerge.

If it’s not old enough, it can only be considered Undersea Green Stone. Undersea Green Stone, compared to Deep Sea Crystal, is of much lower value.

Such a difficult to form material, yet here was a river completely made of it; this was truly a prodigal waste.

Encountering such a thing, how could Ding Huan let it pass? He rushed over without hesitation, ready to dig up Deep Sea Crystal.

The disheveled man in the distance saw Ding Huan’s actions, snickered with a smile, and did not stop him.

"Crack!" Ding Huan’s Separation Spear struck upon the Deep Sea Crystal, only leaving a few white marks; Ding Huan frowned at that.

No wonder no one took this stuff; turns out, it couldn’t be moved.

"Young one, don’t waste your time. Get ready to send out your ring and backpack; make sure to speak sweetly, or you might get a doghouse to live in."

The disheveled man finally offered a piece of advice.

Ding Huan sized up the disheveled man for a while before asking:

"How long have you been here?"

"How long?" The disheveled man repeated the question and then rubbed his hair as if carefully contemplating Ding Huan’s question.

After a long while, he shook his head:

"Not quite clear, maybe a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years."

Ding Huan said speechlessly:

"My fellow Daoist, even if you’ve cultivated to Earth Immortal Perfection, you can’t live for ten thousand years, can you? Can you stop bragging?"

The disheveled man glared at Ding Huan resentfully: "If you don’t believe it, forget it; I can’t be bothered with you."

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

Ding Huan didn’t mind; he was sure there were more living people here than just this one with the unkempt hair.

After all, this disheveled fellow had mentioned that he should be prepared to send out the ring and backpack.

Sending the ring and backpack wasn’t urgent; what attracted him the most now was the Emerald River of the Undersea.

The formation of this Green Crystal River was certainly no accident.

A key factor in the formation of the Green Crystal River was the presence of a Star Sky Spiritual Vein.

The existence of such a quality Emerald River of the Undersea indicated that the grade of the Star Sky Spiritual Vein was not low.

Ding Huan decided to obtain more of these Deep Sea Crystals, as many as possible.

Once he had taken all of these Deep Sea Crystals, perhaps the Star Sky Spiritual Vein below would appear.

It didn’t matter that the Separation Spear couldn’t break it open; he had better treasures that he just hadn’t used yet.

That was the Fei Yan Immortal Sword.

Since he wasn’t practicing the Sword Dao, he had never refined the Fei Yan Sword, despite carrying it around.

Now that he needed it, Ding Huan decisively took out the Fei Yan Sword and began to refine it.

Ding Huan remembered Ji Xinting was nailed to Hidden Sword Mountain because he tried to refine the Fei Yan Sword and enslave it, only to be pinned by it.

But when he had taken the Fei Yan Sword, it had willingly accepted him.

If he couldn’t refine the Fei Yan Immortal Sword, it would be of no use to him anyway.

As for the Fei Yan Sword’s desire to pin him down, that was absolutely impossible.

He was different from Ji Xinting.

Ji Xinting practiced refining his Primordial Spirit, while he practiced the Great Universe Technique.

His Great Universe Technique didn’t involve a Divine Soul, which meant he didn’t have a Primordial Spirit.

As long as his Sea of Consciousness remained, or rather, as long as his consciousness existed, he was still alive.

This was different from ordinary cultivators. When we speak of "both the Divine Soul and the body perishing," it refers to ordinary cultivators.

To eradicate an ordinary cultivator, one must eradicate their Primordial Spirit.

He cultivated the Divine Soul, not for the sake of a Primordial Spirit, but for the sake of his Sea of Consciousness. So, no one could make his Divine Soul perish completely.

As soon as Ding Huan’s Divine Will penetrated the Fei Yan Sword, he felt a kind of intimate joyous chime.

Ding Huan instantly understood; it turned out that the Fei Yan Sword had been waiting for him to refine it, and he had simply not done so.

Perhaps, if he waited any longer, the Fei Yan Sword, annoyed, might leave him again.

The Fei Yan Immortal Sword possessed some autonomous consciousness, making the process of refining its Prohibitions incredibly easy for Ding Huan.

In just a few breaths, Ding Huan refined the first layer of Prohibition.

Subsequent refining became even easier; in less than five minutes, Ding Huan completely refined the Fei Yan Sword, which had a total of one hundred and eight Prohibitions.

Ding Huan understood, the Fei Yan Sword wasn’t really that easy to refine; it was cooperating with him.

Even if he didn’t refine the Fei Yan Sword, he could still use most of its power.

Otherwise, even for the first Prohibition, it might have taken him months to refine.

After refining the Fei Yan Sword, even though Ding Huan didn’t use swords, he could still feel the strength of the Fei Yan Sword.

Looking around, no one was nearby, including the man with the disheveled hair who had spoken to him earlier; he had also disappeared.

It was time to make a move.

Ding Huan wielded the Fei Yan Sword, fixing his gaze on the edge of the Undersea Jade Stone, and slashed down with the sword.

"Crack!" Though there was still some resistance, the Fei Yan Sword was far more potent than the Separation Spear.

Just one sword strike cut a half-foot notch.

Ding Huan struck again with another sword strike, and to his delight, this second strike was easier than the first.

The second strike opened a range of one foot.

If the third strike was even easier, then taking away this Emerald River of the Undersea didn’t seem like such a difficult feat after all.

Sure enough, as the third sword strike came down, Ding Huan cleaved nearly a meter in length.

The hardest part of breaking the Deep Sea Crystal was the first notch.

In less than half an hour, Ding Huan harvested a hundred zhang (approximately 300 meters) of the Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths.

After that, Ding Huan’s pace accelerated, and in two hours, he had almost collected a thousand zhang (approximately 3,000 meters) of the Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths.

An even more exciting scene unfolded for Ding Huan; after he took away the Undersea Green Stone, the very bottom revealed two premium Star Sky Spiritual Veins.

He hadn’t guessed wrong; the Deep Sea Crystal had formed because of these two top-grade Star Sky Spiritual Veins.

Ding Huan didn’t waste any time and quickly collected these two premium Star Sky Spiritual Veins.

Cultivating with Star Sky Spiritual Vein was more effective when using a pair.

After obtaining the two premium Star Sky Spiritual Veins, Ding Huan prepared to continue harvesting the subsequent Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths, only to find that the Green Crystal downstream was still growing and not mature enough.

What was there couldn’t be considered Deep Sea Crystals, only Undersea Green Stones.

The Undersea Jade Stone’s value was severely reduced; Ding Huan wasn’t very interested in it.

Knowing when to quit while ahead, Ding Huan collected the Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths and quickly left the Green Crystal River.

He was certain that others in this canyon had long coveted the Green Crystal River; his Divine Will was powerful, and even here, it was not weak.

With the Fei Yan Immortal Sword and his Array Dao assisting him, he managed to succeed.

Others may covet, but they likely lacked the ability to take away the Undersea Green Crystals here.
