Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1128 - 1121: Seven-Member Squad

"Ye Xuan, I'm glad you're okay." Seeing Ye Xuan approaching, Lan Xiaobu felt relieved.

"Xiao Bu, what's the specific situation?" Ding Huan asked, fully aware that the rules within the chaos had changed, and Divine Will could now traverse it freely.

The existence capable of altering the rules of the chaotic region in the World of Gods was indeed extraordinary.

Lan Xiaobu explained everything he knew and mentioned the three people hiding and waiting for Ding Huan, while sketching their images in the void.

Ding Huan laughed heartily: "I know. Those three are Zuo Shanyi, Luo, and Xin Xi'er.

Zuo Shanyi, nicknamed Shi Keling, is very cunning. I've always wanted to take him down but always fell just a bit short.

This Xin Xi'er is very mysterious. She claims to be Xin Changkong's daughter, but she's actually the Dao Thought left by Xin Changkong, combined with a certain Dao Principle, condensed within Chaos Qi.

The Mortal Dao cultivated by Xin Changkong is similar to the Great Dao cultivated by Wu Ji..."

Mo Wuji chuckled: "I slaughtered that guy."

Ding Huan was not surprised that Mo Wuji had slain Xin Changkong.

He had long acquired the Human Mortal Dao Scroll from Xin Xi'er and given it to Mo Wuji; with Mo Wuji's ability to understand the Great Dao, taking down Xin Changkong was naturally no big deal.

"Wu Ji, don't underestimate this Xin Xi'er. Although her Dao originates from Xin Changkong, her potential likely surpasses his.

Zuo Shanyi teaming up with her shows he highly values her. I know Shi Keling's strength; he's not much weaker than us and is very treacherous."

Ding Huan warned cautiously.

Ye Xuan said, "No matter how treacherous he is, what does it have to do with us? They go their way, and we go ours."

Ding Huan said, "I agreed to team up with Shi Keling. The Xin Xi'er and Luo he brought are his teammates, and you three are mine.

The reason for teaming up with this guy is that he seems more familiar with the chaotic center than we are, and he's also very acquainted with Di Xin.

Also, when you see Shi Keling later, see if he has any connection with Zuo Yang of the First Universe."

"Luo is known to me and Xiao Bu. He knows us too, so we need to transform our appearance." Mo Wuji was still pondering how Luo had been causing trouble for so many years.

How many cosmic calamities have there been?

Many Star Lands no longer exist, yet this guy is still alive and even thriving, truly with extraordinary resilience.

"Not only do we need to transform our appearance, but Wu Ji and Xiao Bu's cultivation should be concealed between the Seventh and Eighth Steps of the Great Dao. Old Ye's cultivation should be controlled at the Eighth Step, but appear vague regarding the Source Principle."

Ding Huan added another point.

He knew Shi Keling's nature all too well.

This guy's growth path was almost identical to his own, definitely not from a sheltered background. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He started as an ordinary mortal and step by step reached where he is today.

He cultivated the Great Universe Technique, understanding more than anyone how rapidly his power advanced.

Back in the Immortal Realm, after overwhelming Shi Keling, he felt that was the closest their cultivation ever was.

Now in the World of Gods, nearly the top-level Tao Universe World in the vastness, Shi Keling's cultivation remains close.

He hasn't left Shi Keling far behind.

"Take a look at this."

Lan Xiaobu took out the Holy Rice.

Once the Holy Rice was taken out, an exotic fragrance accompanied it. Each grain appeared not much larger than regular rice, almost the same size, with a faint cyan color.

Various Dao Rhythms circulated on it, seemingly containing some mysterious aura.

"Good stuff..." Ye Xuan knew upon receiving the Holy Rice that it was extraordinary, not only cultivated from Chaos Dao Vein but also containing various Heavenly Dao Rhythms and Creation Origin Principles.

Ding Huan's Divine Will was infiltrating the Holy Rice as he heard Mo Wuji say:

"This thing might also purify some corrosive Dao Rhythms. It contains a purest purification Source Principle, one I've never come into contact with..."

Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao, with in-depth research on this spirit plant, rice.

Lan Xiaobu nodded: "Wu Ji is right. I heard from Shi Keling that this thing is very important, possibly the key to this operation.

As for its use, that guy didn't say. So later, I'll distribute some Holy Rice, ten thousand pounds for each of us."

Mo Wuji and the other two stared intently at Lan Xiaobu.

"Just how much Holy Rice did you manage to get?"

Lan Xiaobu laughed awkwardly: "I took all of the Holy Rice from that old guy Qing He's Ten Thousand Miles Green Plain."

"Ten thousand miles?" The other three looked speechlessly at Lan Xiaobu.

Using ten thousand miles of Green Plain's Holy Rice to give each of us only ten thousand pounds?

Lan Xiaobu quickly waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, this stuff has an unbelievably low yield. Even from Ten Thousand Miles Green Plain, I only collected several ten-thousand pounds."

Mo Wuji, Ding Huan, and Ye Xuan hearing that only several ten-thousand pounds were harvested from Ten Thousand Miles Green Plain's Holy Rice, realized how incredibly low the yield was – practically no yield at all.

"The Holy Rice seems very good. Every stalk is filled with Holy Rice, appearing heavily laden. In reality, only one grain per stalk is solid, the rest all hollow."

Lan Xiaobu finished, taking out a stalk of rice.

Indeed, it had only one plump grain, the rest seemed to have all lost nutrients and were empty.

Ding Huan attempted to refine a handful of Holy Rice, sensing a never-before-experienced vitality Origin Principle within himself.

This source principle is certainly beneficial to his Great Dao, and may even help him enhance his cultivation.

But Ding Huan didn't feel this thing was connected to the key role Shi Keling mentioned.

"Perhaps this thing isn't meant to be used outside; we might be able to use it once we enter the chaos center," Lan Xiaobu had already tried using the Holy Rice.

He tried everything: refining, steaming it, cooking it.

It was quite helpful for purifying one's Great Dao, but after stepping into the Eighth Step with source principles, his Longevity Sect nearly lost all traces of mottled Dao Rhythm.

This thing really is just something to eat.

Mo Wuji laughed, "I guess those people you're talking about, such as He Yan Shang Sheng and Qing He Shang Sheng, might have been implicated by you.

They might have been cultivating Holy Rice for Di Xin, but when it's about to mature, you stole the whole batch."

Lan Xiaobu deeply agreed.

Under normal circumstances, Holy Rice cultivated by Qing He Shang Sheng would be impossible for anyone to seize.

Let alone seize it; even entering the chaos center would be impossible.

Lan Xiaobu, however, struck a timing advantage and enlisted He Tong to sweep away all Holy Rice grains.

"Let me send a message to Shi Keling."

Ding Huan took out his Communication Bead, informing Zuo Shanyi he would soon arrive in the World of Gods.

Zuo Shanyi's reply came extremely quickly; within a few breaths, Ding Huan received the message.

The message told Ding Huan he had reached the chaos center's outskirts in the World of Gods and informed Ding Huan there had been a change in the chaos center, urging him to come quickly.

Ding Huan put away the Communication Bead: "Let's rest here for a bit before heading over."

He was certainly not in a rush; if he went right after receiving the message, it would mean telling Shi Keling he had arrived long ago.

"By the way, Ding Huan, do you know He Yan? I saw that guy is among those being nailed," Lan Xiaobu said.

"I know this person, I even have a Magical Treasure that he traded to me. Once inside, I'll give him a hand."

If he didn't know, that was one thing; knowing He Yan was nailed in the chaos center, Ding Huan couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it.

Lan Xiaobu strongly agreed with Ding Huan's words: "Yes, whether we rescue He Yan or not, as long as we enter the chaos center, Di Xin is bound to know."

"Are you so sure the guy nailing those strong individuals in the chaos center is Di Xin?" Mo Wuji asked a question.

"In the chaos center, aside from Di Xin, who else could nail so many powerful individuals in the void using Dao Nails?"

Lan Xiaobu believed in his judgment.

Ding Huan looked at the Holy Rice grains in his hand, which he had refined to just a few husks: "Is it possible that to cultivate in the chaos center, Holy Rice grains are necessary?

Without them, one's Great Dao is limited, thus falling under Di Xin's control?"

Ding Huan indeed had some doubts.

Lan Xiaobu talked about the incredible strength of Qing He Shang Sheng and He Yan Shang Sheng, which was comparable to theirs, not to mention hundreds of top-level experts all nailed in the void.

If their strength hadn't been impeded, then Di Xin's might was terrifying indeed.

The key is Di Xin hasn't recovered yet; if he had, he wouldn't have spared Shi Keling and him back then.

"I have also cultivated in there, and didn't feel anything amiss," Lan Xiaobu immediately said.

"Your Great Dao and the Cosmic Origin Principle of the chaos center, Heaven and Earth Rules are not linked, perhaps that's why you weren't restricted."

Although Mo Wuji was merely speculating, he was quite familiar with Lan Xiaobu's Great Dao.

Ding Huan waved a hand, "Instead of guessing here, let's go over there for a look."

The four slowed their pace, moving steadily and without haste towards Zuo Shanyi's location.

Ye Xuan didn't transform; he simply concealed his cultivation at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, and his Dao Rhythm didn't involve the Source Principle's aura.

Mo Wuji transformed into an honest-looking chubby cultivator, Lan Xiaobu transformed into a slightly shrewd and black-tanned cultivator.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu's cultivation was between the Seventh Step and the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.

Just the kind about to break through to the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, yet temporarily not breaking through.

"Everyone remember, although the four of us teamed up and moved together, we each have our calculations, so when it involves personal interests, we turn against each other when needed."

Everyone greatly agreed with Ding Huan's suggestion.

They hadn't interacted with Shi Keling.

Whether it be Mo Wuji or Lan Xiaobu, they knew about the net.

Even entities like the net had to center around Shi Keling, which proved Shi Keling was no simple character.

They feigned harmony with hidden rifts, thus Shi Keling would lower his guard a bit.

The four dawdled along the way, deliberately stretching a journey of less than an hour to three days, before rushing to Zuo Shanyi's location.

"Mr. Ding, I've waited several days for you. Who are these companions?" Zuo Shanyi upon seeing Ding Huan immediately cast his Divine Will on Ye Xuan.

Among the four, besides Ding Huan, Ye Xuan was the strongest in terms of cultivation.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "These are my friends, Ye Xuan, Mo He, Chang Sheng."

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
