Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 431 - 424: Case 33

Due to leaving the land of the Forsaken Immortals, Kulu decided to seclude himself for cultivation for a period of time.

Over the years, his soul had been incomplete, and his cultivation insights had always been intermittent.

Now that he had finally restored his soul completely, he naturally wanted to perfect his Sea of Consciousness and the Great Dao.

Ding Huan deployed a shielding array and, while controlling the iron pot to continue on its journey, he was also furiously refining the iron pot.

After crossing the Gray Sea, Ding Huan's Divine Will had not just slightly but greatly increased. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the Immortal Sense of a Level 9 with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal.

The iron pot, which had always resisted refining, finally started to show signs of activity again.

In half a month's time, Ding Huan refined the iron pot to the fifty-seventh layer of prohibition, and the speed of the iron pot greatly increased once more.

Ding Huan was very satisfied. His Divine Will swept out and immediately stopped at a dilapidated Immortal Gate in the distance.

In the Ancient Immortal Domain, there were many ruined Immortal Gates. Once such an Immortal Gate fell into decay and was destroyed, it would quickly turn into ruins and be wrapped with various vines.

Ding Huan did not usually pay attention to a long-destroyed Immortal Gate Ruin, but when he clearly saw the few broken words outside this Immortal Gate, he immediately stopped the iron pot.

Thirty-Three?

Isn't this the place where the story that Tao Xiaomei and I talked about occurred, where the master was killed, the Sect was destroyed, and the master's wife was violently abused? This "Thirty-Three" must refer to the Thirty-Three Paths, right?

"Zhang San, what's wrong?" After the iron pot stopped, Kulu also sensed something.

In the past half month, he had gained a lot from cultivation, not only had his cultivation greatly increased, but his Sea of Consciousness was gradually becoming perfect, and the previously damaged Purple Mansion was almost completely restored.

"I saw a dilapidated Immortal Gate, is this place the Thirty-Three Paths?" Ding Huan pointed at the ruined Immortal Gate below the iron pot.

"Oh, you mean this place? Yes, it's the Thirty-Three Paths. It's been destroyed for over a thousand years. Such a pity, it was actually quite a decent Immortal Gate," Kulu said casually.

"I want to go down and have a look," Ding Huan immediately decided to check out this Immortal Gate.

Mainly because he had some connection to this Immortal Gate.

Fu Yuxing killed his master, who was the Sect Master Shi Li of the Thirty-Three Paths, and after violating his master's wife Rong Xiyu, he also silenced everyone in the Immortal Gate.

This beast didn't just ruin the Thirty-Three Paths, but also caused other Loose Cultivators to be unaccepted by Immortal Sects, having a far-reaching impact.

If he could find some information about Fu Yuxing, even if this guy wasn't dead, he would make sure to take him down in the future.

"That's fine, I've been cultivating for half a month, I'll accompany you for a walk," Kulu stood up.

Ding Huan stored the iron pot, and together with Kulu, landed at the location of the dilapidated Immortal Gate.

Despite the ruins, from the relics of the mountains that had been moved away, Ding Huan could imagine the splendor that once existed here.

"I have been to this Immortal Gate. Look, that was the Immortal Peak where Shi Li of the Thirty-Three Paths used to cultivate. But after Shi Li's death, the Thirty-Three Peaks were looted, and this Immortal Peak disappeared without a trace."

Kulu pointed to a spot covered with thorns.

Ding Huan stepped directly onto the thorns, waved his hand, and all the thorns were swept to the side, making the place flat once again.

Ding Huan picked up a damaged Array Flag, and as soon as the flag was in his hand, he felt a familiar sensation.

He had encountered this Daoist Rhythm before.

Not only had he seen it, but a similar Dao Rhythm Imprint was also lying in his ring.

Originally, in the jade plate ring of Fu Shuangping from Billions of Void Swamps, Ding Huan had obtained a Law Dao Fruit; although he had used the Law Dao Fruit, an imprint left on it had always been sealed in his ring.

Casually taking out the Jade Talisman that sealed an imprint, his Divine Will penetrated into it, and he immediately knew that this Array Flag must have been set up by the owner of this imprint.

He cultivated the Great Universe Technique and was the most clear and sensitive to the Dao Rhythm Laws of all things in the universe; he didn't need any other methods to sense it as soon as he touched it.

Both Dao Rhythm auras belonged to the same person.

Fu Yuxing?

No, that's not right, this Array Flag's refining period was at least thousands of years ago, but Fu Yuxing had only been here for a little over a thousand years, right?

"Lao Ku, you know about Fu Yuxing's matters, don't you?" Ding Huan asked.

Kulu disdainfully said, "Who doesn't know about this beast's affairs? He died in the Gray Sea; otherwise, if he ever dared to show his face, he wouldn't live for more than three days."

Ding Huan frowned, staring at the Array Flag in his hand.

After a while, he sighed and said, "I'm not sure whether Fu Yuxing is a beast or not, but I am certain that this Shi Li is undoubtedly a beast."

Kulu looked at Ding Huan in surprise, completely not understanding what Ding Huan meant.

The deeds of Fu Yuxing at the Thirty-Three Paths were known to everyone in the ancient Immortal Domain.

Shi Li, due to being overly kind, wasted the Immortal Gate's years of accumulated top-grade treasures to repair Fu Yuxing's Sea of Consciousness and Dantian and even took him as a disciple. For Fu Yuxing, he gave his heart and soul.

Fu Yuxing, that contemptible wretch, had deceived everyone. Not only was I killed, but it also led to my Taoist couple being violated and the entire Immortal Sect slaughtered.

Ding Huan spoke indifferently, "If I am not wrong, the one who massacred the Thirty-Three Paths Immortal Sect wasn't Fu Yuxing, but instead Shi Li."

"Why?" Kulu was even more perplexed.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

Shi Li was the Sect Master of the Thirty-Three Paths. Had he gone mad? To slaughter his own Immortal Sect?

Ding Huan lifted the hand holding the shattered Array Flag:

"This Array Flag must have been crafted by Shi Li, and its creation dates back at least three thousand years. Not long ago, I obtained the Dao Rhythm Imprint of the person who made this Array Flag, so..."

Kulu was stunned by Ding Huan's revelation, "Zhang San, my young friend, you can't just say things recklessly—do you mean that Shi Li hasn't been killed at all..."

Ding Huan sneered:

"He's definitely still alive. If I'm not mistaken, he's living in another person's flesh.

To be clear, he's taken over Fu Yuxing's body, committed the atrocity under Fu Yuxing's identity, and then fled..."

At first, Ding Huan wasn't completely certain, but as his Great Universe Technique sensed the residual Dao Rhythm left in this realm after long years of cultivation, he became increasingly sure of his judgment.

Kulu was taken aback by Ding Huan's conclusion.

This Ancient Immortal Domain and even the other Boundaries had deemed it an ironclad case, a well-known case that everyone knew, yet Ding Huan had overturned it.

After a while, Kulu said with emotion, "I still believe in what you say, but why would Shi Li do such a thing?"

Ding Huan had no ties to Shi Li and had no reason to falsely accuse him; thus, Ding Huan's words were credible.

"What cultivation level is Shi Li?" Ding Huan put away the Sealed Jade Plate and the broken half of the Array Flag and asked.

Speaking frankly, Kulu said, "Honestly, Shi Li becoming the Sect Master of the Thirty-Three Paths was somewhat of a stretch; his strength at the beginning stages of Immortal King was a bit low. The Thirty-Three Paths was once a Great Immortal Sect that had even produced an Immortal Emperor."

"How long has Shi Li been at the early stage of Immortal King?"

"It should be over a hundred thousand years. When he advanced to Immortal King, it was already a great struggle, so it's normal for him to be stuck at the early stage."

Hearing this, Ding Huan felt even more certain about his thoughts, "Lao Ku, you know about Shi Li's Taoist couple, Rong Xiyu, right?"

"Of course, everyone knows that Rong Xiyu has the Immortal Jade Dao Body..."

Kulu stopped mid-sentence, understanding what Ding Huan was getting at.

Rong Xiyu had the Immortal Jade Dao Body, and the greatest advantage of having that was to help a Taoist couple, improving their talent to become Dao Yu Immortal Bone. With the Dao Yu Immortal Bone, not only would cultivation advance more easily, but body refining would be effortless as well.

Given that Rong Xiyu was Shi Li's Taoist couple, there was no reason for Shi Li to stall at the early stage of Immortal King and not progress.

Unless Shi Li had never engaged in dual cultivation with Rong Xiyu.

A Taoist couple with the Immortal Jade Dao Body, yet Shi Li refused to cultivate together with his partner, this...

Ding Huan knew that Kulu understood what he was about to say, so he chuckled, "There's only one possibility, that Shi Li is impotent."

Kulu was taken aback, but then instantly affirmed without hesitation, "Absolutely correct, 100% impotent."

"Why?" Now, it was Ding Huan's turn to wonder.

He had only speculated; how could Kulu be so sure?

Kulu explained, "Because the Sect Master position in the Thirty-Three Paths is passed from father to son. Yet with Shi Li, he somehow had no heirs. This is very abnormal.

This act of wiping out his sect may well have this reason behind it as well—he fled and didn't want to hand over the Thirty-Three Paths to an outsider. This person is truly ruthless and malicious."

Ding Huan sighed, "So it seems, Rong Xiyu was indeed an extraordinary woman.

She must have discovered that her Taoist partner Shi Li had possessed Fu Yuxing. Even though she knew full well that Fu Yuxing was none other than Shi Li, she refused to engage in dual cultivation with him.

Rong Xiyu's sense of purity angered Shi Li to the point of madness; he ended up violating his own Taoist couple, and then killed her."

Kulu sighed with emotion, "A thousand-year-old injustice, for millennia everyone has only talked about this matter, but no one knew the truth. Yet you found the crux of the problem in just a few words."

Ding Huan scoffed, "An injustice? That's not necessarily true. I always feel like that Fu Yuxing isn't any good either.

Also, you are mistaken about one thing; it's not that no one knows. I guess many people have their suspicions, but since it doesn't concern them directly, they choose not to meddle.

What they probably care about is the Heaven and Earth Scale. Without it being found, there's little stir. But once the Heaven and Earth Scale appears, guess what would happen? They would likely expose Shi Li's suspicions in no time."

"Let's drop it; these matters are of no concern to us. We should hurry to the Chaos Zone."

Kulu felt all of this was just idle chatter for after meals, while he and Ding Huan were still on the run.

Ding Huan shook his head, "We can't go to the Chaos Zone now."
