Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 405 - 400 Hui Thousand Laws, Devouring Thousand Paths
After resting for a day, both Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping no longer exhibited the listlessness they had shown a few days earlier, and both appeared to be somewhat invigorated.
Upon seeing Wen Zhixi carrying Ding Huan out, Ku Tingyi immediately approached her and said,
"Mr. Wen, we've gained some experience here, but I'm really confused about which direction to choose.
I've always had a feeling that the wet swamp seems a bit safer, but the dry swamp is naturally easier to navigate. How about we do this, we split up and go different ways, and if one side is safe, we'll send a message to the other?"
Wen Zhixi looked towards Ding Huan.
This made Ku Tingyi even more certain that despite Wen Zhixi's cultivation seeming much higher than Ding Huan's, it was this guy called Ding Huan who was making the decisions.
"Zhixi, I think this is a good idea, you know, with everyone walking together, we might all be wiped out. If we split up, at least one team will be safe," Ding Huan said.
Wen Zhixi didn't quite understand why Ding Huan suddenly wanted to split up again. Naturally, she had no objections; she didn't want to walk with these two people anyway.
Ku Tingyi's gaze made her very uncomfortable; if it weren't for her sufficient self-restraint, she would have shown her displeasure long ago.
"Okay, then which way do you choose?" Ku Tingyi asked in a deep voice.
Wen Zhixi said nothing, and it was only after half a moment of contemplation that Ding Huan finally spoke up, "Mr. Ku, which side do you think is more suitable for us?"
Ku Tingyi laughed and said, "Logically, you should go through the dry swamp, but I think the wet swamp is somewhat safer..."
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ku. In that case, we'll go through the wet swamp," Ding Huan agreed without hesitation to Ku Tingyi's suggestion.
Ku Tingyi was taken aback; he intuitively felt that Ding Huan wouldn't possibly follow his suggestion.
He wanted Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi to go through the wet swamp, convinced that Ding Huan would choose the dry swamp one hundred percent.
What did this mean? Why did Ding Huan agree as soon as he suggested it? Could it be that Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan also had a map indicating which route through the wet and dry swamps was safe?
Just as Wen Zhixi was about to walk towards the wet swamp with Ding Huan on her back, Fu Shuangping suddenly spoke up from the side,
"Since you also feel the wet swamp is safer, then why should we go through the dry swamp? Why not all of us go through the wet swamp together?"
Ku Tingyi awkwardly smiled and said, "Going through the wet swamp together would indeed be better, but if we encounter danger, won't we all be wiped out?
Since Mr. Ding has chosen the wet swamp, let's go through the dry swamp. At least we can explore both paths."
"No, either we all go through the wet swamp, or you can go through the dry swamp alone," Fu Shuangping said firmly.
Seeing this, Ding Huan quickly said, "If that's the case, then let's go through the dry swamp."
Ku Tingyi still wanted to say something, but Wen Zhixi had already carried Ding Huan off toward the dry swamp, quickly disappearing into the distance.
"Brother Yi, why didn't they insist on going through the wet swamp?" Fu Shuangping asked in confusion.
Ku Tingyi was also frowning. The safety of the paths through the wet and dry swamps wasn't marked on any map.
The reason he and Fu Shuangping knew the wet swamp was safer was because Fu Shuangping's Cultivation Technique pointed towards the wet swamp direction, and not because the map indicated it.
Fu Shuangping's Cultivation Technique, inherited from the ancestors of the Fu Family, not only granted her the method and knowledge of the Array Dao but also left her with many cultivation resources.
Moreover, it instructed Fu Shuangping that when encountering directions not indicated on the map, to follow the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, which would definitely be correct.
Even Fu Shuangping's map did not indicate whether the wet or dry swamps were safer, leading Ku Tingyi to believe that even if Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan had a map, it wouldn't have directions for the safety of the wet and dry swamps.
"Brother Ding, I feel like the wet swamp should be the correct path. If they have a map, then it's certainly right that the wet swamp is safer," Wen Zhixi said after they had gone a great distance away.
Ding Huan replied, "The Dry Swamp is very dangerous. We cannot continue this way. We must stop here."
"What about you?" Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan with confusion.
Knowing that the dry swamp is dangerous, why still come this way?
Ding Huan said, "I've got that map here as well. Take a look."
Saying this, Ding Huan took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Wen Zhixi.
Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan in astonishment. She had no idea when Ding Huan had obtained the map.
She quickly reviewed the map, "Brother Ding, it doesn't indicate whether the wet swamp or dry swamp is safe."
Ding Huan smiled and said, "Those two definitely know that the wet swamp is safe, so no matter what we choose, they would find an excuse to enter the wet swamp."
"Then we should also go through the wet swamp," Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan.
Ding Huan added, "The wet swamp is safe, but there is a wave of danger when we first enter. We'll wait here until that danger has passed before we move on.
As for the dry swamp, we cannot go any further; if we do, I fear we might lose our lives."
Wen Zhixi, although not understanding how Ding Huan knew this, did not inquire further.
Ding Huan raised his hand and projected several Array Patterns, and suddenly an Array monitoring screen appeared in front of him and Wen Zhixi.
The conversation between Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping was clearly displayed on the screen. The duo was not in a hurry as they made their way through the wet swamp.

"Brother Yi, when should we go to collect their corpses?" Fu Shuangping asked.
Ku Tingyi chuckled hehehe, "There's probably no need to collect corpses. I still need to heal that woman..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuangping's expression turned sour.
Ku Tingyi hastily said, "Don't worry, no matter when or where, I will never forget you. You are the most important person in my life, without a doubt."
Following Fu Shuangping's words, a look of joy flashed in her eyes. Before she could continue speaking, ripples began appearing in both of their visions.
"Swamp Ripple? How is that possible?" Ku Tingyi's face immediately turned pale. How could a Swamp Ripple appear beneath this water?
There were always various signs before the appearance of a Swamp Ripple, but this time there were none. The Swamp Ripple had appeared abruptly.
However, the ripples of the Swamp Ripple moved incredibly fast, reaching them in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Fu Shuangping sprayed out a Blood Arrow.
Without any hesitation, Ding Huan activated the Teleportation Array Pattern. If he didn't teleport now, there would be no chance later.
Fu Shuangping's blood mist sprayed over her and Ku Tingyi, and then a dull light enveloped them, instantly disappearing from in front of the Swamp Ripple.
Almost the moment they disappeared, the Swamp Ripple enveloped the spot where they had just been standing.
One could imagine that if they had been even a moment slower, they would have had no choice but to wait for death.
"How formidable, this Swamp Ripple," Wen Zhixi thought to herself in shock. If she and Ding Huan were hit by this Swamp Ripple, she likely wouldn't have a chance to escape.
"This woman actually had this up her sleeve, truly formidable," Ding Huan remarked offhandedly, pocketing the golden fruit that had been teleported alongside them.
"Zhixi, I need to set up a Concealing Array here; I need to heal. You will act as my protector," Ding Huan said.
"Okay, I think they will be coming over soon," Wen Zhixi replied.
Ding Huan nodded, "Don't worry, they won't be here that quickly."
Having said that, Ding Huan began setting up the Array Patterns.
In just a short time, a fourth-grade Concealing Immortal Array had enclosed him and Wen Zhixi. Not only that, but Ding Huan once again implanted a Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein beneath him.
Under these circumstances, he must have ample Immortal Spirit Source; otherwise, he wasn't clear on what could happen.
With Fu Shuangping's level in Array Dao, dreaming would be more likely than finding him.
Ding Huan scrutinized the golden fruit in his hand, still unable to recall from his memory what kind of Immortal Spirit Fruit it was.
Ding Huan knew it wasn't an issue of his memory.
Instead, he still hadn't figured out how to trigger the contents of the leather scroll.
It was just like the Tian Gang Daoist Skill and the Earth Evil Illusion Technique; when he obtained the incomplete Earth Evil Seventy-two Illusion Techniques for cultivation, it triggered the true memory of the Tian Gang Earth Evil Daoist Skills.
Ding Huan took out the golden Immortal Spirit Fruit and felt the Daoist Rhythm emanating from it, then he started to absorb the Immortal Spirit Fruit using the Great Universe Technique.
As the Great Universe Technique Circulation swept up the first strand of Daoist Rhythm from the Immortal Spirit Fruit, Ding Huan understood what it was.
This wasn't an Immortal Spirit Fruit at all, but rather something Ding Huan had never heard of before, a Tao Fruit.
The one in his hand was a Law Dao Fruit.
This golden Law Dao Fruit, based on a Cultivator's own Cultivation Technique, could enlighten the understanding of the myriad Great Dao Rules during absorption.
For example, if a Cultivator majoring in the Gold Element absorbed this Law Dao Fruit, their comprehension of the Gold Element Law would become much clearer.
But Ding Huan was different; he cultivated the Great Universe Technique, which is based on the principles of Daoist Rhythms of all things.
Under the Great Universe Technique, all the Great Dao Rules existing in space became increasingly clear in Ding Huan's perception.
The Great Universe Technique itself was about clarifying the Great Dao Rhythms of all things. With this Law Dao Fruit, Ding Huan even had the illusion that he could soon break through to become an Immortal King.
Ding Huan knew this was definitely an illusion, because the Tao Fruit was somewhat wasted on him.
This should be a Tao Fruit used for breaking through to Immortal King status, and he was using it to find out just what the silver droplet was.
Soon enough, Ding Huan's Great Universe Technique discovered something amiss with the Tao Fruit.
He quickly isolated a subtle Dao Rhythm Imprint within the Tao Fruit, an imprint that definitely couldn't have been left by Fu Shuangping.
Since he had discovered it, it wasn't going to get away.
After locking this subtle Dao Rhythm Imprint with a Prohibition, the Great Universe Technique continued its Cycle to find out what else was wrong with him.
Sure enough, at the end of the third Cycle, Ding Huan locked onto some mysterious Law Aura entwined within his body.
The Great Universe Technique enveloped this mysterious Law Aura, bringing it into the Cycle.
The Law Aura finally cleared, and Ding Huan gained a definitive memory.
Devouring Dao Silver.
This substance could obscure thousands of laws, devouring myriad paths.
Once corrupted by this substance, no matter what Great Dao, it would inevitably break apart, causing the flesh and Daoist cultivation to disperse and perish.
Devouring Dao Silver was like a bone-piercing maggot - once infected, it would automatically seek out Daoist cultivation within the body until it obscured the law, then devour it.
How formidable.
Ding Huan was inwardly stunned, but he also understood something; his Great Universe Technique was definitely more powerful than the Tao Technique of the one who left the leather scroll.
That person said that once one is affected by Devouring Dao Silver, no matter the Great Dao, it would result in destruction.
Yet, he seemed to have the chance to isolate this Devouring Dao Principle from the Devouring Dao Silver through the Great Universe Technique.
Ding Huan didn't plan to just isolate the Devouring Dao Principle from the Devouring Dao Silver and leave it at that.
He intended to comprehend the Devouring Thousand Paths Principle of this Devouring Dao Silver into his own Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, transforming it into a common Law under his own Tao Universe.
