Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 292 - 287: Re-entering the Four-layered Sea Canyon
"Of course, this is my second time coming in," Ding Huan said.
Brother Bei Shu excitedly said, "Brother Ding, I’ll join you as well, okay?"
Ding Huan laughed, "Of course, that’s possible, but this time, Qi Qiu and I are heading to the Four-layered Sea Canyon, and we’re pretty much risking our heads."
Brother Bei Shu said disdainfully, "The Four-layered Sea Canyon is just a bunch of idiots dreaming. They think the Immortal Fate of Triple Heaven Star Land is in the Four-layered Sea Canyon, pfft, if there’s Immortal Fate there, then I, Brother Bei Shu, must be blind. What’s there to fear from a bunch of idiots? I’ll go with you."
"Good, let’s head over now," Ding Huan replied delightedly.
Brother Bei Shu was no ordinary cultivator, not only was he at the Earth Immortal Perfection level, he was also the only remaining cultivator from Datong Academy. Initially, Datong Academy was the number one sect in the Ascension Realm, not the false number one like the Desolate God Sect, but the genuinely top position. Could a cultivator from such a sect be ordinary?
Ding Huan led the way, and the three of them soon arrived at the shores of the Quad-layered Sea.
The first thing Ding Huan did was to check his Teleportation Array; he had tried it once before, but the array did not respond. After inspecting it, Ding Huan discovered the issue. Part of the Array Flags were corroded, though the main Array Flag made from Void Sand was intact. This discovery delighted Ding Huan, who immediately repaired the Teleportation Array.
After setting up the Teleportation Array, Ding Huan didn’t just set up a Concealing Array like last time; instead, he used the Great Universe Skill Tao Rhythm to set up a Star Sky Protection Array outside the Teleportation Array.
Ding Huan wasn’t sure if this Protecting Array would be effective. However, since the Teleportation Array had corroded, it was mostly due to the erosion by the Tao Rhythm rules. Now, by adding a Tao Rhythm Defense Array, perhaps it could prevent the Teleportation Array from being eroded by the Tao Rhythm rules.
"Is Brother Ding also an Array Dao master?" Brother Bei Shu observed the Big Array Ding Huan had set up and couldn’t figure it out himself. It should be noted that he was a level-six Array Master, a reasonably good standard in the Ascension Realm.
"Hehe, not long ago, Ding Huan used the Killing Trap Array to wipe out Changyan Academy," Fu Qijian chuckled.
"You wiped out Changyan Academy?" Brother Bei Shu stared wide-eyed at Ding Huan. He couldn’t fathom how Ding Huan, whose cultivation hadn’t reached the Immortal Realm, could be so brazen.
"Yes, they destroyed my friend’s sect, so naturally, I had to retaliate," Ding Huan said nonchalantly. What was more important was that Shi Qi Qiu was hell-bent on killing him, so he took the opportunity to wipe out Changyan Academy.
"No wonder you fled here; impressive," Brother Bei Shu sighed heavily. He felt as though he had chosen the wrong path, like falling into a trap.
Ding Huan laughed heartily, "Lao Dan, if you’re scared, you can back out anytime."
Brother Bei Shu glared, "I, Brother Bei Shu, scared? I just prefer not stirring trouble. Not wanting trouble isn’t due to fear; it’s simply that I truly don’t have the time. If I took out time to deal with those trivial matters, I wouldn’t have reached my current state of cultivation."
Fu Qijian disagreed, "Lao Dan, I used to avoid trouble and spent all my time in cultivation. I spent hundreds of years wavering only at the fifth layer of the Immortal Realm. It was only after I met Brother Ding and started causing trouble everywhere hehe, that I attained Earth Immortal in just a few years."
Fu Qijian straightforwardly started calling him Lao Dan, as Brother Bei Shu had asked him not to call him senior. "Since you’ve chosen to mix with Brother Ding and advanced to Earth Immortal in a few years, I can understand. Given your choice to follow Brother Ding, I guess it’s inevitable to stir up trouble frequently,"avinKల Brother Bei Shu sighed.
He hadn’t known Ding Huan for long, but he had begun to understand his character. This was not someone who believes in the saying that revenge is a dish best served cold—this was someone who thinks losing if revenge isn’t exacted overnight.
He had planned to hang around Ding Huan for a few days and still hadn’t gained any benefits but was already lined up for a fight. Despite his lax words, Brother Bei Shu was well aware deep down that entering the Four-layered Sea Canyon unavoidably meant a brawl.
The three of them entered the Quad-layered Sea, chatting and pausing occasionally to collect some Combat Soul Crystals, and without realizing it, they reached the Four-layered Sea Canyon.
"Can you feel it too? No matter how you walk in the Quad-layered Sea, you’ll inevitably end up here at the Four-layered Sea Canyon," Brother Bei Shu pointed at the Four-layered Sea Canyon, his voice thick with solemnity.
"Lao Dan, you don’t know the reason either?" Fu Qijian, having ascended to Earth Immortal, seemed to talk much more than before.
Brother Bei Shu rolled his eyes, "What do you mean I don’t know? No one in the Triple Heaven Star Land knows!"
Brother Bei Shu then ignored Fu Qijian and turned to Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, this place is tough to descend…"
"I’ve gone down once before," Ding Huan said with a smile, preempting him.
Brother Bei Shu was stumped again, "You’ve been down before? How is that possible? This place is full of natural Prohibitions, mostly Attack Prohibitions. That alone would be bearable, but divination can’t be extended here."
If one had divine will, despite the prohibitions, one could still resist. For a cultivator to be without divine will is akin to being utterly vulnerable, similar to a declawed, defanged tiger.
The implication was that descending there would surely result in injury, and once down, coming back up wasn’t an option either.
"Yes, that’s why I’ve prepared some Magical Treasures," Ding Huan said as he took out three items resembling parachutes.
Bei Shu sighed and commented,
"No wonder you were able to wipe out Changyan Academy and still make it here. You must have known that the people from Jiuyuan were after you, so you fled as soon as you destroyed the academy, didn’t you?"
Ding Huan actually hadn’t known that the people from Jiuyuan would chase after him, but he was skilled in the Big Calculation Skill.
"Facing Jiuyuan, I would only flee this one time. Next time, I won’t run," he said.
Ding Huan then walked to the entrance of the canyon, holding the parachute-like Magical Treasure in his hand.
Bei Shu and Fu Qijian stood to his left and right.
For them, Ding Huan’s cultivation was still somewhat lacking.
"Activate the treasure, and let’s go down," Ding Huan said. He then leaped down, activating the Magical Treasure in his hand.
This time, he didn’t carefully climb down the cliff like a turtle, as he had done before, but jumped directly.
Bei Shu and Fu Qijian, without hesitation, followed Ding Huan and also activated the Magical Treasures in their hands.
As the Magical treasures turned into parachutes enveloping their bodies, not only did they slow their descent, but they also protected them from various attacking prohibitions.
Bei Shu was stunned.
What a brilliant idea! Why hadn’t he thought of that?
Ding Huan was overjoyed; he felt his Star Domain expanding, and everything around him fell under his control. His Divine Will wasn’t suppressed in the slightest.
Furthermore, Ding Huan was sure that as long as Bei Shu and Fu Qijian were within his domain, their Divine Will could fully extend as well.
Initially, Ding Huan was worried there were too many strong cultivators below, and he wouldn’t be able to manage them with his talismans.
Now, he had no worries at all.
It seemed that choosing to advance to Star Domain Realm in Spirit Origin Valley was the right decision.
"Brother Ding, my Divine Will seems to be able to extend now. Wait, it’s your domain?"
Bei Shu realized instantly upon sensing his working Divine Will that it wasn’t because his Divine Will had strengthened, but because of Ding Huan’s domain.
Ding Huan laughed heartily, "Yes, it’s my domain. I didn’t know it before, but now we have nothing to worry about...
As long as we are within my domain, our Divine Will can extend without limitation."
Ding Huan was about to say that as long as they were within the range of his domain, Bei Shu and Fu Qijian’s Divine Will would not be affected.
However, he then realized that given the tiny size of the Four-layered Sea Canyon, how could Bei Shu and Fu Qijian possibly leave his domain?
"Impressive," Bei Shu couldn’t help but praise.
How could he not know about the cultivator’s domain? He himself possessed an Earth Immortal Domain.
Usually, cultivators only form a true domain once they reach the Immortal Realm.
It’s not that there are no domains below immortals; it’s just that those domains are inferior and can only overwhelm low-level cultivators with presence, not forming substantial domains.
However, the domains above the level of immortals are formed within the cultivator’s strength range, mainly used for defense against sneak attacks and controlling personal space.
Since when could a domain ward off environmental suppression on Divine Will?
Recalling how he sensed Ding Huan’s cultivation before, Bei Shu became more certain that Ding Huan’s Cultivation Technique was extraordinary.
With the boost from Divine Will, their pace greatly increased.
Originally, it would take a day or two to reach the bottom, but now, the three of them used just a couple of hours to land at the base of the canyon.
Because of their rapid descent, the man-made attack prohibitions near the base of the canyon didn’t even have time to activate.
The three were spotted the moment they landed.
"Kid, I knew you would come down again. Not bad, you lasted a few years before coming down again, hehe..."
Hearing that hehe laughter, Ding Huan didn’t need to look back to know it was that chicken-nest-haired old guy.
"Old man, we meet again," Ding Huan smiled.
Bei Shu lamented, "There’s even an Emerald River of the Undersea here; a pity these green crystals haven’t turned into Green Stone yet, otherwise they would be incredibly valuable."
The chicken-nest-haired old man chuckled again,
"So, these are your companions, eh? It seems like he didn’t tell you about the thousand zhang of undersea emerald crystal he took from here; that’s not very righteous of him."
"Are these undersea emerald crystals all taken by you?" Bei Shu was stunned.
Ding Huan scratched the back of his head:
"Yep, it was me."
Bei Shu sucked in a breath. He knew very well the value of the undersea emerald crystal.
For such a long river of green crystal, as a whole, ordinary Magical Treasures could not cut through it.
That Ding Huan had managed to take a thousand zhang indicated he must possess an Immortal Artifact.
"Take the undersea green crystal..." the chicken-nest-haired man began, but then abruptly halted, scrutinizing Bei Shu more closely.
After a moment, he suddenly felt something off and threw a punch out.
Boom! Far off, the Green Crystal River shook with his punch.
"My Divine Will is restored?" The chicken-nest-haired man’s voice trembled, somewhat disbelieving as he looked at his hand.
Bei Shu knew the reason and silently glanced at Ding Huan.
