Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1139 - 1132: Douling Cave Mansion

Outside the First Universe, Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot.

Mo Wuji took out a Five Elements World and said, "Ding Huan, you and Xiao Bu enter the Five Elements World, while I will go alone to Douling's cave mansion."

Without hesitation, Ding Huan and Lan Xiaobu stepped into Mo Wuji's Five Elements World.

With a swift movement, Mo Wuji's silhouette disappeared from the spot.

Although Shen Dai's status in the First Universe was not high, he still had absolute autonomy in the boundary he was in charge of.

Other realm lords might look down on Shen Dai, but they couldn't dictate within Shen Dai's territory.

The blocking boundary of the First Universe hadn't been repaired since Ding Huan and the others left last time.

Shen Dai was eager to restore his Great Dao and physical body, so he wouldn't care whether the blocking boundary of the First Universe needed to be repaired.

To Shen Dai, even if someone could enter the First Universe, it would be Ding Huan and his crew.

He had formed an alliance with Ding Huan and the others a long time ago, so it made no difference if they entered or not.

Therefore, when Mo Wuji entered the First Universe, there was no obstruction at all.

Even Shen Dai, who was in charge of this boundary, did not perceive Mo Wuji's presence in the First Universe, let alone anyone else.

In fact, if Shen Dai were unharmed now, even if he sensed it, he would feign ignorance.

Mo Wuji transformed into a source principle of the First Universe and bypassed Shen Dai's cave mansion, traversing through various void mysteries.

During this, Mo Wuji didn't extend any Dao Thought, he merely traveled by direction.

This was the difference between Mo Wuji and Ding Huan, and Lan Xiaobu.

The source principle Mo Wuji transformed into could seamlessly merge with the Heaven and Earth Source Rules of the First Universe.

Unless the First Universe was a Tao Universe World derived by some great being, otherwise it couldn't detect Mo Wuji's transformed Great Dao Origin Rules.

Ding Huan and Lan Xiaobu's transformed source principles couldn't achieve such flawlessness as Mo Wuji's.

Five years later, Mo Wuji stopped at the outskirts of Douling's cave mansion.

All along the way, he didn't extend any Divine Will to observe the surrounding void. At this moment, his transformed source principle halted outside Douling's cave mansion, similarly not extending Dao Thought.

Mo Wuji was very aware of his current circumstances.

As long as he was discovered by Mo Yuantian or the existence Ding Huan spoke of, Kui Feng, then not only was he doomed, but Ding Huan and Lan Xiaobu would meet the same fate.

Mo Wuji lingered outside Douling's cave mansion for a whole month, confirming that nobody knew of his arrival, only then did he cautiously extend his Dao Thought.

Even though his Dao Thought extended, Mo Wuji's Dao Thought also merged with this universe's source principle.

Unless someone's Dao Thought clashed right into Mo Wuji's, it really couldn't be discovered.

Outside Douling's cave mansion, Mo Wuji sensed various monitoring source principle forbidden patterns.

Even if he transformed into a source principle now, it wasn't easy to enter Douling's cave mansion.

Mo Wuji hadn't fought with Douling, so he wasn't clear about Douling's Great Dao direction, but he knew Ding Huan had fought with him.

To enter Douling's cave mansion, only Ding Huan could come, and if Ding Huan made a move, the chances of success would be greater.

Thinking of this, Mo Wuji entered his Five Elements World.

"Wuji, how is it?" Upon seeing Mo Wuji come in, Lan Xiaobu immediately asked.

Mo Wuji's expression was somewhat solemn: "Outside Douling's cave mansion, there are source principle monitoring boundaries everywhere. These source principle monitoring boundaries and array patterns weren't laid by just one person, there are at least three kinds."

"So that means three people have laid source principle monitoring array patterns here." Ding Huan wasn't too surprised, it was about as he had estimated.

"Ding Huan, you've fought with Douling, and you have some understanding of Douling's Tao Technique, so your chance of exposure upon entering Douling's cave mansion is the smallest."

Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan didn't hesitate: "Alright, but you have to give me a safe spatial direction, at least where there isn't a source principle monitoring boundary.

My Concealing Technique isn't as strong as yours."

"Don't worry, I've prepared in advance." Mo Wuji took out a Direction Jade Scroll and handed it to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan scanned it with his Divine Will and had a rough idea in mind.

Those who could lay monitoring array patterns outside Douling's cave mansion certainly knew Douling was dead.

Among them, Mo Yuantian was certainly one person, another might not be Kui Feng but perhaps Huo Shi. As for the third person, naturally it was Douling himself.

Though Douling had fallen, the monitoring boundaries and source principle array patterns he laid wouldn't disappear.

"Wuji, Ding Huan, why do I keep feeling a bit uneasy?"

Lan Xiaobu wasn't a timid person, but he genuinely felt uneasy.

Mo Wuji pondered for a long while before saying, "Indeed it feels unsettling, but I think we must take this risk."

Ding Huan had long performed calculations using the Tao Disk.

Only the experts or the source principles of the First Universe aren't something he could calculate.

Now, hearing Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu's words, he calculated again.

But still came up with no results.

"Wuji, Xiao Bu, I have a feeling Douling's cave mansion might be a potential trap, and this trap may not necessarily be targeting us, but could be Mo Yuantian's against his competitors. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"We just happened to arrive first; if we go in, we might just encounter this setup."

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Mo Wuji asked: "So do you think we should go in or leave?"

"We must go in. I believe Wu Ji hasn't been discovered on his journey here. As long as we enter Dou Ling's cave mansion unnoticed, we might succeed."

Lan Xiaobu answered even faster than Ding Huan.

His previous statement about feeling anxious wasn't because he didn't want to go in, but because he wanted to plan thoroughly before entering.

Mo Wuji looked at Lan Xiaobu: "Xiao Bu, share your thoughts."

Lan Xiaobu explained: "Let's make an assumption: if this setup is arranged by Mo Yuantian, then the person he's targeting should be someone familiar with Mo Yuantian.

Once Mo Yuantian waits for this acquaintance to enter Dou Ling's cave mansion, he can use it as leverage against the person, pressing them from a moral high ground.

Since it's Mo Yuantian's acquaintance, it must be a person from the First Universe, and Mo Yuantian's monitoring efforts are certainly focused on this person now.

As long as this person hasn't arrived, Mo Yuantian won't focus his efforts here for the time being.

Moreover, we can't wait any longer; this is our only chance. Only by acquiring the cultivation resources from Dou Ling's cave mansion can we have a chance to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, seeking the Cosmic Origin Veins will be difficult, and it will waste a lot of time."

Ding Huan immediately said: "I agree with Xiao Bu's analysis; as long as Wu Ji hasn't been discovered along the way, we can take a risk to try.

These individuals have stronger powers, higher realms, longer cultivation times, and richer resources than us.

But there are two aspects where they might not necessarily be stronger; first, their Great Dao might not be stronger than ours.

Our Great Dao is based on our own understanding of the universe, whereas their Great Dao might be one they can easily grasp and use.

Given the vastness, how many top Cosmic Avenues are left? They don't need to create new Daos themselves, as they have an abundance at their disposal.

The second point where they might not be stronger is their understanding of the Heaven and Earth Source Rules.

We understand the Source Principles because we need to survive, while they understand it just because it's necessary or perhaps just a hobby."

Ding Huan has always believed in this saying: don't challenge someone's survival techniques with your hobby.

Mo Wuji laughed: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go together."

The three left the Five Elements World.

Ding Huan transformed into Source Principle and walked in front, with Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu also transforming into Source Principle, following behind Ding Huan.

If any issues arise, they will each flee their own way.

At this time, the other two remaining in the Five Elements World would actually be in the most danger.

They didn't set up any teleportation arrays.

This place can be considered the central area of the Ten Directions Universe.

If someone discovers them, the first move would be to seal the space.

Teleportation would only send them into someone else's position realm, akin to walking into a trap.

On their journey, Ding Huan increasingly admired Mo Wuji.

The spatial direction Mo Wuji found is undoubtedly the safest pathway.

In this direction, there were no Source Principle Forbidden Patterns, so Ding Huan and the other two reached the Source Principle Realm outside Dou Ling's cave mansion seamlessly.

Lan Xiaobu's judgment didn't err.

No one is paying attention to this place, at least not right now.

Dou Ling's Great Dao realm is much stronger than Ding Huan, yet just as Ding Huan had suspected, his understanding of the Source Principle Realm isn't necessarily stronger than Ding Huan's.

Otherwise, Ding Huan wouldn't have been able to ambush Dou Ling so easily before.

Ding Huan took just one hour to break the boundary of Dou Ling's cave mansion without causing any Source Principle fluctuations.

The three silently entered Dou Ling's cave mansion.

Once inside Dou Ling's cave mansion, the three couldn't help but feel indignant for Shen Dai.

They don't know how many Cosmic Origin Veins are embedded within Dou Ling's cave mansion.

But the clarity of the primordial energy and Heaven and Earth Source Rules within Dou Ling's cave mansion is incomparable to Shen Dai's.

The Cosmic Origin Veins here are at least several times more than Shen Dai's cave mansion.

In such a favorable location, Dou Ling, this Lao Liu, even forcibly occupies Shen Dai's cave mansion for cultivation, taking bullying to an extreme.

"Ding Huan, Xiao Bu, we need to come up with a plan. If we alert the strong ones here, I'm afraid the outcome won't be good." Mo Wuji looked at Ding Huan and Lan Xiaobu.

Lan Xiaobu replied:

"I have two methods: one is to set up a large teleportation array here and then lock all the origin veins with Source Principle Forbidden Patterns.

Once we leave here, we will immediately teleport all of the Cosmic Origin Veins away.

The second method is to be cautious; right now, no one is noticing this place. We draw them out one by one since this is, after all, Dou Ling's cave mansion.

As long as we're careful, no one will detect us, because they won't extend their Dao Thought into here."

This is Dou Ling's cave mansion, and extending Divine Will in such an overt manner would be akin to tearing the veil of courtesy.
