Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 500 - 493: Land of Divine Origin

After helping Kulu heal, Ding Huan left him with Xing Pan and went to find a place for a retreat.

The Immortal Court was gearing up for all-out war, something he could neither contribute to nor wanted to involve himself in.

For Ding Huan, now was the perfect time to improve his cultivation with all the resources he had gathered; to do otherwise would be foolish.

What could his current level of cultivation achieve on the battlefield?

Xing Pan had given Du Yue Mountain from Du Yue Star Lord to Ding Huan for him to retreat and cultivate there, but Ding Huan was not interested.

The Immortal Court already had abundant Immortal Spiritual Energy, and he saw no need to confine himself to someone else's cultivation ground.

At the moment, Ding Huan was in the Land of Divine Origin.

Close to the God Clan, the Immortal Spiritual Energy was slightly scarce here, but it was still superior to many places in the Great Immortal Domain.

The main reason was the fierce fluctuation of the Heaven and Earth Rules, making it undesirable for both Immortal Court cultivators and Loose Cultivators.

Ding Huan felt this place was perfectly suited for his cultivation.

Despite his informal brotherhood with Xing Pan, it was not possible for Xing Pan to be by his side all the time, and there were too many in the Immortal Court who wished him dead.

His retreat location had to be secret and not known to others.

After setting up the first Defense Immortal Array, Ding Huan's skills in array setting were finally promoted to the level of a seventh-tier Immortal Array King.

Besides the Defense Immortal Array and Killing Trap Immortal Array, Ding Huan had set up a multitude of Hidden Spirit Immortal Arrays, Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays, and Binding Spirit Immortal Arrays.

He implanted eight High-Grade Immortal Spirit Veins.

Looking at the dense Immortal Spiritual Energy that seemed tangible enough to grasp, Ding Huan was very satisfied; this was truly a place for cultivation.

He first cooked a pot of top-quality Immortal Spirit Rice.

Emperor Wushang could barely walk past the sight of Immortal Spirit Rice Grains, proving the benefits of this ingredient.

Last time he ate high-quality Immortal Spirit Rice; this time, he prepared a pot of the finest quality.

The aroma from the high-quality Immortal Spirit Rice was captivating, and one could feel the rich Immortal Spirit Qi as soon as it was cooked.

However, the top-quality Immortal Spirit Rice that Ding Huan cooked this time had much less fragrance, but the pale gold-speckled rice beckoned him to try a bite.

He casually scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and the rice melted right away.

Ding Huan closed his eyes to savor it, but he did not detect much Immortal Spirit Essence Qi.

Could this top-quality Immortal Spirit Rice be fake?

He had grown these grains himself; they couldn't be counterfeit.

After another taste, it was still ordinary, though delicious and melting immediately on the tongue, leaving just a lingering aroma.

Nothing more seemed noteworthy.

Well, he wasn't really counting on this bit of Immortal Spirit Rice.

Wasting wasn't a good habit, so Ding Huan swiftly finished off the rice.

Once he had tidied up, Ding Huan decided not to come out of this retreat until he broke through to the Daluo Immortal rank.

The Great Universe Technique began to operate, and as the first cycle completed, Ding Huan felt as if something inside him had ignited.

Boom!

A fierce burst of Immortal Spirit Origin Power surged rapidly throughout the Spirit Veins in his body. In a blink, Ding Huan felt like his body was on fire from the inside.

This was a completely different form of Immortal Spirit Origin Power.

Cultivating and absorbing Immortal Spirit Qi from Spirit Veins was an outside-in process, whereas this kind of Immortal Spirit Source Energy burst forth from within and spread rapidly to all channels.

At this moment, Ding Huan realized he might have overindulged in the rice, as the aftereffects were massive.

The Great Universe Technique operated wildly inside him, involving all channels, including the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, in this cultivation session.

Only now did Ding Huan truly appreciate the power of the top-quality Immortal Spirit Rice.

Dao Rhythm Laws in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe were increasing, and some previously unclear Dao Rhythms were coming into focus.

Da Yi Immortal third level, Da Yi Immortal fourth level...

At this moment, Ding Huan felt advancing in levels was as natural as breathing or drinking water.

...

Immortal Demon Battlefield.

Two years had passed since Emperor Xing Pan had become the Heavenly Emperor.

Despite Emperor Xing Pan's full support for the war against the Demon Clan, and the complete commitment from all Immortal Sect Masters, along with diligent efforts from Immortal Court officials, the Human Tribe was still struggling just to ensure the Immortal Court was not breached—achievable only through the loss of many Human Clan Cultivator lives.

Having lost too much initially, there was now no advantage of "right timing, right place, right people."

Emperor Xing Pan even came personally to the battlefield, but it was still not enough to change the overarching situation.

The Demon and Demon Race did not want to give up such a valuable piece of the Great Immortal Domain; to these clans, it represented a stepping stone to the next level. Even if a slaughtering knife were placed upon their necks after tasting victory perks, they would not retreat an inch but increase in ferocity.

It had become an all-encompassing wildfire.

A weary Xing Pan looking across the blood-roiling battlefield felt for the first time that reclaiming the Great Immortal Domain was an uphill battle.

If securing the Great Immortal Domain was this challenging, restoring the order of the Pangu Great World was even farther out of reach.

In these two years, one Star Lord among the Immortal Court had died after his body was irreparably damaged, two Immortal Officers were killed, and eleven of the seventy-two governors had perished.

"Ding Huan was right," Xing Pan murmured.

He shouldn't have been so eager to reclaim the Great Immortal Domain.

No matter how strong Emperor Xing Pan was, he was just one person.

Not to mention the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, even the two protectors under the Demon Emperor might not be inferior to him.

"Great Emperor, why not summon the Great Immortal Governor?"

Jimi, standing by Xing Pan's side and also somewhat disheveled after recently having an arm severed and barely recovered, resulting in a somewhat depleted vigor.

He had always admired Ding Huan but this time, Ding Huan had become the Great Immortal Governor while he was just a Deputy Immortal Governor, without the authority to order Ding Huan to accompany him.

Xing Pan shook his head, he knew Ding Huan had more methods than he did.

But he couldn't trouble Brother Ding Huan.

"Great Emperor, I think we are acting too hastily, why not hold off and think of other methods?" even Emperor Jin He came over and said.

Xing Pan nodded, they could not attack any further now.

Each attack caused the Human Tribe to lose tens of thousands of people.

At this rate, wouldn't the Human Tribe be annihilated?

They intended to annihilate the other races, not let the other races annihilate the Human Tribe.

...

Ding Huan stood up, at the perfect completion of the Da Yi Immortal Twelfth Layer.

He could now attempt ascending to Daluo Immortal.

Ding Huan had no intention of changing locations for his tribulation; this place was the Land of Divine Origin and no one came here.

Despite being not far from the God Clan, locked down by a massive Heavenly Array, it was impossible for members of the God Clan to come here.

After two years of secluded cultivation, Ding Huan had accumulated enough.

Not only had he replenished sufficient Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Qi here, Ding Huan also occasionally ate some Immortal Spirit Rice to supplement himself.

Additionally, since Ding Huan never used medicine pills during his cultivation, there was not a trace of impurity in his body.

The first cycle of his attempt to ascend to Daluo Immortal passed, and eighteen arcs of Heavenly Tribulation thundered down.

Ding Huan immediately activated his Body Refining Techniques; his techniques were still not perfected.

Mainly because he hadn't found the right place for Body Refining.

With the Heavenly Tribulation now upon him, Ding Huan naturally continued perfecting his Body Refining Techniques.

As one Body Refining Cycle after another was discovered by Ding Huan, by the time the fifth wave of Heavenly Tribulation struck, Ding Huan had advanced from Da Yi Immortal and achieved the level of Daluo Immortal.

After surviving the Daluo Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, Ding Huan's body was unscathed, not even the skin broken, let alone any bone damage.

Ding Huan also secretly lamented that if he had known Body Refining Techniques made tribulation so effortless, he would have created them sooner.

In the sixth and final wave, eighteen arcs of Heavenly Tribulation thundered down, completing the last cycle of his Body Refining Technique.

Allowing Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Qi to pour down and stabilize his cultivation level, Ding Huan did not move; he was still organizing his Body Refining Technique.

His Body Refining Technique now had a total of thirty-six cycles, conforming to the number of Tian Gang.

Ding Huan was also very clear that his Body Refining Technique was still not perfect.

This didn't affect him much considering that, below the level of Immortal Emperor, his Body Refining Technique was adequate.

With so much foundational knowledge in his mind and backed up by the Great Universe Technique, he could continue to perfect his Body Refining Technique anytime it proved insufficient.

After running his Body Refining Technique through several more cycles, Ding Huan was increasingly satisfied.

His physical body should now be at the fourth level of the Immortal Body, considered quite formidable.

Immortals do not cultivate their bodies because body cultivation affects the Dao Body, and impacting the Dao Body means the Great Dao cannot rise to higher levels.

Secondly, body cultivation can damage the mind and Sea of Consciousness, which are the most crucial parts for a cultivator. Once affected, the losses outweigh the gains.

Thirdly, body cultivation demands a great deal of time, and for a cultivator, there's not enough time for cultivation, let alone for body refining.

Moreover, why waste time and cultivation resources on body cultivation when one could manage the Heavenly Tribulation using Magical Treasures?

Besides these points, the most crucial factor is the lack of Body Refining Techniques.

Good Body Refining Techniques are possessed by the Witch Clan or the Demon Clan.

Neither the Witch Clan nor the Demon Clan would ever allow Human Clan Cultivators to practice their Body Refining Techniques.

For Ding Huan, none of these were problems. freёwebnoѵel.com

He took out a Jade Scroll and casually inscribed the Body Refining Technique he had created and even named it: Nirvana Technique.

Passing the Daluo Immortal Thunder Tribulation felt like undergoing Nirvana, although his power surged after Nirvana.

But during Nirvana, he could have been annihilated by the Heavenly Tribulation at any moment.

Now with the Nirvana Technique as his Body Refining Technique, it meant he would no longer fear any Heavenly Tribulation.

Ding Huan was in an extremely good mood.

The area had been chaotically blasted by the arcs of Heavenly Tribulation; he could clean it up and continue to cultivate.

As Ding Huan raised his hand to level the massive crater formed by the Heavenly Tribulation, he captured some slightly strange Dao Rhythm Laws.

Could this be the reason why the Land of Divine Origin was unsuitable for cultivation?

The fluctuations of the Dao Rhythm Law in the Land of Divine Origin were sometimes severe, extremely unsuitable for cultivation.

Ding Huan chose this place for seclusion precisely for this reason; his Great Universe Technique didn't care about this, he cared only for the Heaven and Earth Rules and Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Source.

Ding Huan pulled out a stack of Jutsu Talismans and began to descend deeper.

Two days later, Ding Huan found himself encompassed by emptiness.

He stared in shock at the scene before him; it was a massive underground Divine River stretching at least a million miles.

It was called a Divine River because Ding Huan had encountered the cultivation techniques of the God Clan.

The Great Dao Rhythm and Law Fluctuations of this river absolutely matched the cultivation techniques of the God Clan.

Could it be that the Land of Divine Origin came about like this?

Suddenly, an uncontrollable speculation sprang up in Ding Huan's mind; the Divine River in the Land of Divine Origin might be the lifeline for the God Clan's survival.

What would happen to the God Clan if he severed the Divine River?

Honestly speaking, Ding Huan had long been displeased with the God Clan, not to mention this time, the God Clan had joined the Demon Clan and the Demon Race in their invasion of the Immortal Clan following an opportunity.

Once the idea of severing the Divine River surfaced, it could no longer be suppressed.
