Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 402 - 397: Finding Ding Huan (Adding Ten More for A Desperate Attempt by the Wanderer)
She didn't know how much time had passed before Wen Zhixi forced herself to slowly calm down.
Unable to find Ding Huan immediately, she must first refine the Jiulun Seal. The Immortal Pond Human Beast hadn't died, and if she refined the Jiulun Seal, it meant she had an additional method of attack.
Wen Zhixi's divine will easily penetrated the Jiulun Seal, and as soon as she entered, she sensed the Daoist Rhythm of Ding Huan.
Her divine will then saw a pile of bloodied remains and shattered bones.
The Immortal Pond Human Beast she had worried about incessantly was unexpectedly torn into fragments within the Jiulun Seal. If not for the Black Axe lying there, she might have even doubted whether she was mistaken.
Very soon, Wen Zhixi understood what had happened.
Ding Huan had found the Jiulun Seal before her and refined one layer of its prohibition. Not only that, but he also set up a Killing Trap Immortal Array within it using Void Array Patterns.
The Immortal Pond Human Beast, for some reason, hadn't refined the Jiulun Seal, but this creature had long been able to enter it and constructed its own space within the seal.
Ding Huan was aware that the Immortal Pond Human Beast had a space here, so he set up the Killing Trap Immortal Array. Once the Immortal Pond Human Beast fled here, it would be trapped and killed.
Clearly, Ding Huan anticipated that his Soul-locking Burst Needle wouldn't be enough to kill the Immortal Pond Human Beast.
He executed his plan step by step, foreseeing and preparing well ahead, which allowed him to kill the beast when it escaped into the Jiulun Seal.
If she had rushed in according to her plan, she and Ding Huan combined wouldn't match a single slap from the Immortal Pond Human Beast.
In terms of strength, thought, and methods, Ding Huan was far superior to her.
Thinking back to how she was nearly perished, it was Ding Huan who saved her and even helped her strip the Mottled Dao Rhythm from her body.
So powerful and capable, how could Ding Huan possibly be ambushed by the Immortal Pond Human Beast?
Even if he were ambushed by it, it wasn't certain that it could kill Ding Huan.
A feeling suddenly surged in Wen Zhixi's heart, the feeling that Ding Huan was still alive.
If Ding Huan could die so easily with all he had done, it would not be possible for him to have survived up to this day.
This thought gave Wen Zhixi a glimmer of hope and cleared her mind significantly.
She hurriedly began refining the Jiulun Seal, intending to give it to Ding Huan and also to find the faint trace of her mother's divine soul.
Although the Jiulun Seal was a top-tier spatial attack treasure, it still fell short compared to Ding Huan's iron pot and Dusk Drum, and it wasn't even close to the Life and Death Mirror.
Wen Zhixi planned to fully refine the Jiulun Seal and then smash open this space with it.
Moreover, since the Jiulun Seal was originally the magical treasure of Wen Zhixi's father, Wen Luoxu, she found refining it remarkably smooth; it felt as if even Wen Luoxu's lingering will dissolved completely with her divine will's refining of the Jiulun Seal.
...
As soon as Ding Huan fell, he sensed danger, but thankfully without the suppression of the Immortal Pond Human Beast, he immediately invoked his iron pot and landed on it.
The next moment, the two Void Poison Wood Arrows rapidly drained his vitality, causing him to lose consciousness.
Bang!
Streams of silver liquid splashed from the bottom of the iron pot. Since Ding Huan had lost consciousness right upon invoking the pot, the defensive prohibitions of the pot had not activated.
A droplet of the silver liquid fell onto Ding Huan's leg, hissing on contact.
In just a brief moment, the droplet penetrated Ding Huan's leg bone, and starting from where the droplet had landed, corrosion spread outward.
In that instant, Ding Huan felt nothing as his vitality dissipated, the two Void Poison Wood Arrows that had been lodged in his body had already vanished.
Streams of Poison Dao Rules rampaged inside him, and as his last breath was about to fade, the Tao Universe in Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness began to stir.
Underneath the starry sky, the Milky Way rolled up waves of Great Dao patterns, with star systems spinning constantly beneath.
Ding Huan's thoughts did not continue to sink, but instead, he regained consciousness within his Sea of Consciousness, the feeling of being on the brink of death suffocated him, leaving only a blurry concept.
He was dying.
His consciousness began to dissipate, and scenes flashed through his mind.
A pair of bright eyes appeared before Ding Huan, her gaze clear, seemingly asking him why he had left Earth.
It was Qu Yi, only her eyes were pure and clean, causing a pang of heartache, and she alone would ask why leave Earth.
I can't die, not now at least.
Even if I am to die, I cannot die here.
With his remaining will, Ding Huan activated the Great Universe Technique. The first cycle of the Great Universe Technique Circulation formed, stopping the further dissipation of his life force.
As the Great Universe Technique Circulation kept running, the area on Ding Huan's leg where the silver droplet had corroded also began to recover slowly.
Life slowly gathered again, a nimbus of dark energy swirling around Ding Huan. Outside this dark aura, even more Immortal Spiritual Energy was swept toward him.
The iron pot carried Ding Huan, moving slowly away from the pool of silver liquid to its edge.
Ding Huan still showed no signs of waking up, but the Tao Universe in his Sea of Consciousness continued to drive the circulation of the Great Universe Technique.
The Void Poison Wood Arrow's dark energy was forced out by Ding Huan, then absorbed back into his body with the rising and setting of the Great Universe Technique.
One day, two days...
Four months flashed by, and a loud boom echoed. The silver liquid underneath the iron pot suddenly permeated deeper into the soil, vanishing without a trace.
Wen Zhixi watched the abyss below in a daze; she had not yet completely refined the Jiulun Seal.
After refining the twelfth prohibition of the Jiulun Seal, she put away the seal. The first thing she saw upon putting it away was a Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein.
This Immortal Spirit Vein was something Ding Huan needed; naturally, she wouldn't leave it there. Without any hesitation, she also collected this Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein.
After taking the Immortal Spirit Vein, she surprisingly saw Ding Huan lying below in the abyss.
However, at this moment, Ding Huan lay on an iron pot, lifeless. His body was covered in blood that had long dried, and his face was incredibly pale.
"Ding Huan?" Wen Zhixi could no longer care whether it was safe below; she directly leapt down and scooped up Ding Huan.
It was not right, although she couldn't sense any signs of life from Ding Huan, it seemed he hadn't perished.
His body was soft...
No, it wasn't that. Ding Huan was alive; it was just that his vital signs were extremely faint.
Wen Zhixi excitedly grabbed Ding Huan and rushed upward. Upon reaching the ground, Wen Zhixi suddenly looked towards the iron pot in the pit.
Ding Huan was lying in the iron pot even at the brink of death; this iron pot must not be an ordinary object.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Zhixi once again set up several Array Flags and brought the iron pot out of the abyss.
Having found Ding Huan, although his life or death was unclear, the excitement in Wen Zhixi's heart was uncontrollable.
She suddenly understood why her father had sought her mother.
It was a kind of dependency that was hard to describe with words or perhaps a habit.
She and Ding Huan were merely acquaintances, not even friends. Yet, at the moment she found Ding Huan, she felt a joy in her heart that she had never experienced before.
After a long while, Wen Zhixi finally calmed herself down.
Should she take Ding Huan and leave this place?
Wen Zhixi glanced at Ding Huan, who still had a weak sign of life, and immediately changed her mind.
She absolutely couldn't leave this place.
With her abilities, leaving here with Ding Huan would be seeking death.
This was Billions of Void Swamps, not some other place.

Even her father had perished coming here; what ability did she have to leave the Billions of Void Swamps with another person?
This place was surrounded by a Void Trapping Killing Array set up by Ding Huan and also had a source of water inside.
For the Immortal Pond Human Beast to build a cave mansion here, there must be a reason.
But she didn't have any heaven-sent materials or treasures, how could she save Ding Huan?
Wen Zhixi hesitated for a long while before she blasted the Immortal Pond Human Beast's cave mansion into rubble, then set up a simple stone cave and placed Ding Huan inside.
The Immortal Spirit Vein she had removed earlier was now planted next to Ding Huan again.
She could feel that although Ding Huan was still unconscious, he seemed to be still circulating his Cultivation Technique and cultivating.
Perhaps Ding Huan could wake up by himself; all she had to do was carefully guard by his side.
Staying in this place was much safer than taking Ding Huan through the Billions of Void Swamps.
At first, Wen Zhixi didn't dare to be careless and observed Ding Huan's changes every day.
A month later, she felt that Ding Huan hadn't deteriorated. Not only that, Ding Huan's vital signs were slowly strengthening, which made her increasingly confident.
At the same time, she was also shocked beyond measure.
She had witnessed two Void Poison Wood Arrows penetrating Ding Huan's body; how could Ding Huan still be alive with such strong vitality?
Since Ding Huan was fine, she also needed to cultivate here for some time.
Mottled Immortal Spiritual Energy was everywhere here, but the Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein she had did not have any Mottled Dao Rhythm, and its Immortal Spiritual Energy was very pure.
Wen Zhixi couldn't, like Ding Huan, set up an Immortal Array to filter out the Mottled Dao Rhythm.
But if she didn't absorb the Immortal Spiritual Energy with Mottled Daoist Rhythms from the outside and only absorbed the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the vein, she could do it.
To be safe, Wen Zhixi didn't seek another cave mansion. Instead, she meditated and cultivated next to Ding Huan.
However, after just a few cycles, Wen Zhixi stopped cultivating and looked at Ding Huan in shock.
She felt that cultivating near Ding Huan, her understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became clearer.
It was not just a bit clearer; if she continued to cultivate, she would soon be able to return to the Perfect Profound Immortal stage.
This made Wen Zhixi clearer that the Daoist Skill Ding Huan cultivated was absolutely the strongest she had ever seen, related to the Laws of the Tao Universe.
Wen Zhixi thought back to when she told Ding Huan that she was an Immortal Spirit Body and even said that if Ding Huan needed it, she was willing to accompany him in Dual Cultivation once.
Only now did she realize that her Immortal Spirit Body was something others would dream of having, even resorting to any means to obtain.
In front of Ding Huan, her Immortal Spirit Body really didn't count for much.
With such a Great Dao system, no wonder he didn't care about her Immortal Spirit Body.
After a long silence, Wen Zhixi collected her emotions and began cultivating with concentrated focus.
Ding Huan's Circulation of the Great Universe Technique swept up the Immortal Spiritual Energy too fiercely; in just half a day, the Immortal Spiritual Energy that had been swept over wrapped around Ding Huan.
And the ball of Immortal Spiritual Energy slowly expanded, eventually enveloping Wen Zhixi as well.
With such clear Great Dao Laws and rich Immortal Spiritual Energy, Wen Zhixi was even more driven to improve her powers.
