Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1106 - 1099: Powerhouses of the First Universe

It's the Eighth Step now. Ding Huan very much wants to deal with Zuo Budu immediately.

The Eighth Step of the Great Dao is indeed the Eternal Saint, but Ding Huan knows in his heart that the Eighth Step's immortality is not the Eternal Saint that Di He refers to.

Di He can perceive the Eighth Step as the Eternal Saint because he merged with that Creation Dao Principle before stepping into the Eighth Step.

Ding Huan sensed that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu seem to be consolidating their cultivation as well. From their aura, both Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu have stepped into the Eighth Step.

As for Ye Xuan, it is highly possible he is at the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, and he might even be perfecting his own Great Dao right here.

The tearing Sword Intent, he felt that too.

Ding Huan continued to perfect his Great Dao, and in less than ten years, the cultivation of Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu was completely consolidated at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.

Ye Xuan also solidified his own Great Dao.

Once they sensed each other's cultivation had stabilized, they immediately went out to meet.

Although everyone wants to elevate one more level, unfortunately, the Cosmic Origin Veins have been consumed entirely.

Ding Huan's hundred Cosmic Origin Veins had vanished without a trace; whereas the Chaos Dao Veins barely consumed more than one percent.

The four met, and without many words, they understood that everyone has ascended to a new level.

Compared to when they first arrived here, the four now have some confidence.

Their goals are now clearer: to obtain a large quantity of Cosmic Origin Veins and step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Shen Dai's Primordial Spirit saw the Position Realm being unlocked, quickly stepped forward to salute, "Shen Dai greets the four Dao friends, congratulations on accomplishing the Great Dao."

Compared to before, Shen Dai's attitude can be described as respectful.

Previously, even when Shen Dai was begging for mercy, his attitude was neither arrogant nor underconfident, with an unintentional hint of superiority.

Perhaps he knew very well that Ye Xuan and the others must comply with his requests.

The truth is just that.

But now, Shen Dai understands that Ye Xuan and the others already have the capability to resist.

Earlier, he only perceived the Great Dao's prestige when they advanced; now face-to-face, Shen Dai realizes how strong these four are.

He certainly isn't unfamiliar with strong individuals. He spent his days with them, and he himself is one of the strong within the Ten Directions Universe.

The Dao Rhythms of Ding Huan and the others flow; he knows very well how powerful Ding Huan and the rest are.

Lan Xiaobu let his Divine Will fall upon Shen Dai, smiling, "Shen Dai, you must have endured much during these ten thousand years."

"No endurances, none at all." Shen Dai replied extremely swiftly, seemingly worried that any delay could lead to misunderstanding.

"Shen Dai, you know what we're lacking now."

Lan Xiaobu merely said this, then fell silent.

All four looked at Shen Dai, waiting for his response.

Shen Dai clearly understood their meaning; they wanted the Cosmic Origin Veins.

He sighed and said, "I still have some Cosmic Origin Veins on me, I can take them out to divide among you."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "We don't want the Cosmic Origin Veins on you. We want to know where we can get more Cosmic Origin Veins."

No matter how many Cosmic Origin Veins Shen Dai has on him.

For Ding Huan and the others, seizing Shen Dai's Cosmic Origin Veins isn't their aim.

Firstly, Shen Dai now counts as their collaborator. The First Universe has many powerhouses; if Shen Dai is a plant for them, it's purely advantageous with no drawbacks.

Neither Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu nor Ye Xuan are shortsighted.

Previously using Shen Dai's Primordial Vein was because without Shen Dai's Cosmic Origin Veins, their strength couldn't advance further.

Now, having reached the level of the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, naturally, they can't continue to fleece only Shen Dai, which would worsen their relationships.

Ultimately, the card could end up torn or handed over to their opponents.

Secondly, Shen Dai has fallen to the point where he doesn't dare return to his old base, suggesting he's a marginal figure in the First Universe.

A fellow like him, how many Cosmic Origin Veins could he have? Even if he gives them all, it wouldn't suffice for the four to share.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Shen Dai breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried they'd open up his Tao World and snatch his possessions.

If that were the case, he'd be forced to make a last stand, opting for death instead of letting the four have it easy.

He pondered for a moment and said, "The most Cosmic Origin Veins are held by Shang; he possesses a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain. However, I don't recommend seizing his veins; I suggest taking Kui Feng's veins..."

Considering they might soon encounter the First Universe's strong individuals, Ding Huan felt moved and spoke again, "Tell us about the other nine people in the First Universe first.

Let us understand why you don't advise against dealing with Shang but instead suggest dealing with Kui Feng."

"Yes."

Even if Ding Huan hadn't mentioned this, Shen Dai would have to tell them about the First Universe's powerhouses.

Now that he knows the strength of Ding Huan and his group, he has no choice but to follow through; he and those four are now like locusts tied on a single string.

The stronger Ding Huan and the others become, the more advantageous it is for him.

"The strongest in the First Universe is called Mo Yuantian. He rarely makes a move since he's always in seclusion. Even during this chaotic time in the First Universe, he hasn't come out; I've seldom seen him myself.

His strength is extraordinarily powerful; if I were unwounded and at full strength fighting him, I doubt I could withstand even one of his Divine Skills..."

Ye Xuan and the others exchanged a glance, inwardly astonished.

Before their retreat, the four of them had discussed Shen Dai's strength. Even if Shen Dai were ranked ninth, his full strength should not be weaker than theirs now.

Yet Mo Yuantian could crush Shen Dai with a single Divine Skill—how strong must his power be?

Regardless of whether Shen Dai intentionally elevated Mo Yuantian's status, Mo Yuantian's formidable power is indisputable.

Shen Dai continued, "You don't need to worry; Mo Yuantian never comes out to manage affairs.

Even if we completely reconfigure the order of the First Universe, as long as we don't affect Mo Yuantian's interests, we'll be fine.

For Mo Yuantian, the identities of the other eight are irrelevant to him."

Shen Dai meant that they could replace everyone in the First Universe, except for Mo Yuantian, and Mo Yuantian would not bother with it.

Neither Ding Huan nor Mo Wuji or Lan Xiaobu thought Shen Dai was a bit too optimistic.

They had not met Mo Yuantian and knew less about him than Shen Dai.

Better to stay cautious in all matters.

To venture deep into the First Universe, Mo Yuantian must be taken into account.

"The second strongest in the First Universe is named Huo Shi, who is considered amiable. In most instances, he does not trouble others.

However, once provoked, Huo Shi will not stop until he has slain his opponent.

The third strongest is named Qu Ba, a person excessively belligerent with a penchant for slaughter. He often employs his Divine Skills to obliterate countless Life Planets in other universes.

Moreover, this individual has peculiar sentiments. He enjoys watching the beings of other universes massacre one another.

The fourth strongest is named Kui Feng, a person whose Divine Skills are bizarre, with immense power desires, yet his ambition for power does not match his cultivation and intelligence.

He likes to resolve everything with Divine Skills, but his mind is so overly simplistic that he is often manipulated by others.

The current conflicts among the First Universe's powerful entities were started by him, but this fellow gained nothing from it.

I stated his Cosmic Origin Veins are easier to obtain because this guy, when in retreat, nearly planted all of the Cosmic Origin Veins outside his cave mansion.

Since he initiated this battle, he sustained severe injuries; if you proceed cautiously, the harvest will surely be substantial..."

Ding Huan received Mo Wuji's voice transmission: "Ding Huan, I feel there's something off about this Kui Feng Shen Dai described,

we need to be cautious when selecting our opponents later."

Ding Huan understood Mo Wuji's implication.

If Kui Feng's mind was genuinely simple, how could he incite a war among the others?

The only possibility is that everyone simply couldn't stand each other, and Kui Feng is just a fuse.

"The fifth strongest is named Shang. On the surface, his strength ranks fifth, but I always feel somewhat ambiguous, not very clear.

His understanding of the Cosmic Origin Principle is unparalleled, and his comprehension of the Position Realm is bewildering.

Consequently, despite possessing a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, no one has considered targeting it.

The sixth strongest is named Dou Ling. His Divine Skills are passable, but my impression of his other attributes is rather average. The seventh strongest is Zuo Yang, a person excessively enamored with women.

The First Universe prohibits cultivators from other universes from entering, yet he often leaves the First Universe to satisfy his personal desires..."

Ding Huan interrupted Shen Dai, "Daoist Shen Dai, do you know someone named Zuo Budu?"

Shen Dai shook his head: "I don't know."

"Nevermind, you continue."

"The eighth is named Ku Bai Zhen. In my encounters fighting him, I slightly lost out, but I feel if I exert my full force, the opponent may not necessarily win."

Shen Dai himself is the ninth, which needs no mention.

Previously, Shen Dai claimed to be ranked seventh; now this fellow candidly admits to being in last place.

He probably realizes that they're all partners now, providing false information would only harm himself.

Ye Xuan looked at Ding Huan and the others: "Where do you think we should start our action first?"

Lan Xiaobu spoke up: "I believe no matter whom we choose to confront, our chances of victory are nearly nonexistent, possibly leading to total annihilation."

Ding Huan and Mo Wuji both agreed with Lan Xiaobu's words.

This is not just because of Shen Dai's words, but an intuition.

Their strength has now elevated substantially.

Right now, their venture into the First Universe to steal Cosmic Origin Veins is still nearly akin to courting death.

Lan Xiaobu had a notion that they should first head to the Chaos Center.

He sensed there's something not simple about the Chaos Center.

It's just not easy to discuss this with Shen Dai here.

Mo Wuji voiced it first: "How about we first leave here, wait until our cultivation improves further, then return?"

"I agree." Ding Huan said without hesitation.

He's still somewhat concerned about Zuo Budu.

If this guy goes seeking the Gods Hall again, and gets trapped here, it would not be good.

Previously he couldn't defeat Zuo Budu, which was a bind.

With his strength enhanced now, he naturally wants to go back.

Shen Dai's Primordial Spirit cautiously made a bow: "I have a presumptuous request, could you all first escort me to my physical body's Primordial Dao Pool?"
