Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1142 - 1135: Taking a Gamble

It took more than a month for Ding Huan to steady his mindset, and then he continued to follow Shen Dai forward.

There are too many good things here, but many of them he indeed cannot use now.

At first, Ding Huan was still thinking about the good things here, but in the end, he simply didn't bother to look.

Ding Huan didn't rush Shen Dai, instead, he calmly comprehended various Primordial Origin Principles of the First Universe along the way.

Ding Huan understood that even if he obtained the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain now, he still lacked the depth to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Thus, he was not in a hurry.

As for cultivation resources, whatever he could gather, he would gather.

The more Shen Dai walked, the more he deviated, showing that Bu Shi's position as a henchman is indeed inferior to the Ten Great Realm Masters.

His residence is also not in the center.

Six years later, Shen Dai finally stopped.

Ding Huan was still embodying the Source Principle and didn't reveal his form just because Shen Dai stopped.

"Mr. Ding, we've arrived. From here onwards is the range of Bu Shi's cave mansion. Although Bu Shi is only under Huo Shi, his cave mansion's range is very large."

Shen Dai's tone was extremely cautious.

Ding Huan meticulously swept his Divine Will out.

It was not that Ding Huan didn't trust Shen Dai, but this was the First Universe. One misstep, and he would face an assault from top experts.

An hour later, Ding Huan felt that this time Shen Dai wasn't talking nonsense.

The position realm of the cave mansion space where Bu Shi was located indeed wasn't stronger than Shen Dai's, although this space was quite impressive, the Source Principle realm wasn't significant.

Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was only slightly stronger than that of the universe space where Shen Dai resided.

Just when Ding Huan was about to retract his Divine Will, he suddenly sensed an obscure Source Principle Restriction fluctuation.

Ding Huan's heart skipped a beat, he cautiously sensed the surrounding space source rules again.

After another hour, Ding Huan confirmed that the Source Principle realm level here was exceptionally high, even stronger than the one Di Xin set up before.

What he saw the first time was just a facade.

Well, he nearly fell for Shen Dai's trick again.

Ding Huan began to use the Great Dao Disk to start calculations.

The more he calculated, the grimmer his expression became.

Calculations in the First Universe were indeed difficult, but now he was at the outskirts of Bu Shi's cave mansion, which should reduce the difficulty of calculation significantly.

Coupled with his strength and understanding of the Great Dao being stronger than Bu Shi's, even if the Big Calculation Skill couldn't deduce future specifics, it could deduce Bu Shi's threat to him.

But the result of his calculation was a blur.

In addition, sensing that powerful Hidden Source Realm outside Bu Shi's cave mansion, how could Ding Huan not know that Bu Shi's strength was something he couldn't contend with now?

"Let's leave now." Before Ding Huan left, he kindly reminded Shen Dai.

As for whether Shen Dai wanted to follow him or not, he couldn't be bothered to care.

When Ding Huan said to leave, Shen Dai could only retreat quickly.

He knew Ding Huan was definitely following behind him.

Days later, far away from Bu Shi's cave mansion, Ding Huan revealed his form.

Shen Dai finally saw Ding Huan again and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ding, why did we leave?"

Ding Huan coldly stared at Shen Dai, "Shen Dai, is that Bu Shi really under Huo Shi?"

Shen Dai was taken aback, then quickly said, "Yes, the Ten Great Realm Masters have gathered once or twice, and Bu Shi has always followed behind Huo Shi with his head lowered.

Besides, it's a well-known fact that Bu Shi is under Huo Shi. Why ask such a question?"

Ding Huan felt that Shen Dai wasn't lying, understanding that probably even Shen Dai didn't know Bu Shi's true strength.

"Bu Shi's strength is likely stronger than Huo Shi's. Are you blind?"

Ding Huan's tone was not the least bit polite.

He hadn't seen Bu Shi, nor had he seen Huo Shi.

Previously, the kind of Source Principle realm he saw outside Bu Shi's cave mansion was definitely not something ordinary people could arrange.

"But..."

Shen Dai internally thought Ding Huan's words were nonsense but didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Think carefully, is there anything peculiar about Huo Shi and Bu Shi?" Ding Huan stared at Shen Dai.

Shen Dai hadn't seen much of Huo Shi either.

He tried hard to recall, but he discovered that Huo Shi seemed to never scold Bu Shi.

Other Realm Masters, like the Third Realm Master Qu Ba.

This guy would directly blast his subordinates at will. Working under him was like holding your head in your hands.

Other Realm Masters, though not as ruthless as Qu Ba, would yell and curse at will.

And there was one more…

That is, every time Bu Shi followed Huo Shi, the distance seemed somewhat distant…

Generally, the distance between a Realm Master's servant and the Realm Master can't be too far or too close.

Too far looks distant and is inconvenient when giving orders.

Too close appears disrespectful to the master…

Bu Shi seems always to keep a relatively far distance from Huo Shi, and Huo Shi never assigned Bu Shi any task in public.

Could what Ding Huan said be true?

"Mr. Ding, every time Huo Shi appears, Bu Shi keeps a somewhat distant follow. Moreover, Huo Shi has never scolded Bu Shi nor assigned him tasks…"

Shen Dai could only tell the truth.

Ding Huan increasingly felt he guessed correctly: "Shen Dai, have you ever seen Huo Shi in action? How powerful is he?"

Shen Dai thought for a long time before saying, "Huo Shi's combat record is very strong, he once killed three powerful beings that opened up the cosmos.

These are all post-battle records, no one has actually seen him in action; they are all rumors."

"Shen Dai, without the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo, recovering your physical body should be very difficult, right?" Ding Huan touched a sore spot.

Shen Dai was silent.

More than just difficult, unless he left the First Universe and went to some remote corner to barely restore a physical body, just to eke out an existence.

As for revenge, that wasn't even worth thinking about.

"Shen Dai, I actually have a way, not only to help you get revenge, but maybe even to get you the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo."

"Mr. Ding, please instruct me."

Shen Dai completely put himself at Ding Huan's mercy.

Ding Huan chuckled: "I speculate that what you saw might be fake, the real second strongest in the First Universe is Bu Shi, not Huo Shi.

Huo Shi might be Bu Shi's dog, not the other way around as you think."

Shen Dai stared blankly at Ding Huan, after a while, he shook his head: "Impossible."

After speaking, he suddenly realized, looking at Ding Huan in disbelief: "Mr. Ding, you wouldn't be thinking of robbing Huo Shi's cave mansion, would you?"

Ding Huan really had such an idea.

If the real second strongest is Bu Shi, then Huo Shi is just a tin-plated gun spear.

If he goes to rob Huo Shi, there should be no problem.

After hearing Shen Dai's words, Ding Huan felt that just relying on the outer Source Principle Realm of Bu Shi and the sporadic information provided by Shen Dai to guess that Bu Shi is the second strongest seemed somewhat careless.

This is no trivial matter.

If the speculation is correct, robbing Huo Shi would definitely be immensely profitable.

But what if he guessed wrong?

Huo Shi is a true powerhouse, what's the difference between seeking out Huo Shi and throwing buns to dogs?

"Shen Dai, I can't help you anymore, let's part ways here, I need to find a secluded place to retreat."

Ding Huan didn't want to keep wasting time with Shen Dai.

How could Shen Dai let Ding Huan leave, he pleaded: "Mr. Ding, why don't we go to Ku Bai Zhen, Ku Bai Zhen is also seriously injured this time, he also has a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain."

"Does Ku Bai Zhen have the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo?" Ding Huan asked.

Shen Dai shook his head: "In the First Universe, the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo isn't anything special, I had some before too.

But they were all used up later, and Ku Bai Zhen's were used up too. But Ku Bai Zhen still has something else, no less than the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo."

Before Shen Dai could finish, Ding Huan refused: "Then forget it, if it can't help you find the Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo, I don't want to go.

I always uphold a win-win situation, if only I benefit, I wouldn't want it even if a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain is presented to me."

It's not that Ding Huan didn't want the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, there was not a single truth in what he said.

The real reason was that he looked down on Ku Bai Zhen's Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

Ku Bai Zhen's status was just slightly higher than Shen Dai's, even if he had a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, its grade was probably not high either.

He wanted the good stuff.

Of course, that wasn't the main reason.

The main reason was Ding Huan's concern about losing out.

Ku Bai Zhen ranked eighth in the First Universe, his strength was probably far superior to Shen Dai.

After all, he is a Realm Lord.

Without a top Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, why would he take risks for Shen Dai?

"Mr. Ding, I'll accompany you to Huo Shi's cave mansion today, if I die, so be it, I'll fight this time."

Shen Dai practically used all his strength to say this sentence.

He really embraced a do-or-die attitude.

Ding Huan did not answer Shen Dai's words, he was contemplating the success rate of escape if he guessed wrong.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Ding Huan looked at Shen Dai: "Shen Dai, did Huo Shi kill you because of the Great Stone?"

Shen Dai was stunned, it seemed there really might be a possibility because of this matter.

Besides the Great Stone, he didn't have anything good on him.

Ding Huan was analyzing something, if Huo Shi was after Shen Dai for the Great Stone, then Huo Shi knew Shen Dai hadn't perished.

"No one knew about me acquiring the Great Stone." Shen Dai's tone was somewhat hesitant, he wasn't sure if anyone knew when he got the Great Stone.

"Another question, when Huo Shi dealt with you, did you fight back? Could you discern the opponent's strength?"

Shen Dai smiled wryly: "Huo Shi's timing was too perfect, I didn't have the chance to resist at all, he tore my Divine Soul and destroyed my second physical body."

Ding Huan was certain, Huo Shi might really be a fake.

The real powerhouse is Bu Shi, not Huo Shi.

He decided to take this risk, what if he succeeded?

"Shen Dai, I will weave a Transformation Dao Principle around your finger, you go see Huo Shi now.

When you see Huo Shi, immediately tell him you are willing to hand over the Great Stone, as long as he makes a Dao vow to give you a Heaven-Opening Nine Bamboo."

"Okay, I agree."

Shen Dai didn't hesitate anymore, he had no other path left.

(Good night, fellow Daoists!)
