Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1143 - 1136: Openly Seeking Out Huo Shi

Shen Dai was just a frail Primordial Spirit, while Huo Shi resided in the core of the First Universe.

So when Shen Dai headed to Huo Shi's cave mansion, he didn't know how many spiritual consciousness scans he had been subjected to along the way.

However, these scans moved away after passing by.

As a result, the Source Principle attached to Shen Dai's wrist went unnoticed by anyone.

Shen Dai became a Primordial Spirit Body, and no one found it strange.

For someone like Shen Dai, whose Divine Soul could have easily been extinguished, it was no surprise that he was merely a Primordial Spirit Body now.

There was no one willing to stand up for Shen Dai.

In the eyes of the powerful beings in the First Universe, Shen Dai was merely a gatekeeper; his presence was irrelevant.

Mo Yuantian, of course, had long noticed Shen Dai.

When Huo Shi went to eliminate Shen Dai, he was already aware.

Now that only Shen Dai's Primordial Spirit Body was left, it did not surprise him.

Yet Shen Dai, having been reduced to a Primordial Spirit Body by Huo Shi, still went to seek out Huo Shi. Was he dissatisfied with Huo Shi not finishing the job?

After a brief contemplation, Mo Yuantian understood the situation.

Shen Dai had run out of options.

Having been shattered by Huo Shi, Shen Dai's second physical body was gone as well.

To survive, Shen Dai now had no choice but to seek out Huo Shi, or he would have to leave the First Universe.

Shen Dai probably realized himself that once he left the First Universe, he would be nothing.

Even for his role as a gatekeeper, there were many who would eagerly take his place.

Moreover, with Huo Shi keeping an eye on him, leaving the First Universe would not be an easy task for Shen Dai.

Having understood this, Shen Dai knew that only by pleading for leniency from Huo Shi could he continue to live in the First Universe.

Mo Yuantian knew that Huo Shi had gone to eliminate Shen Dai, but he didn't know that Huo Shi had genuinely not been monitoring Shen Dai.

Because his Taoist Divine Power, Split Dao Soul, had also reached a critical juncture.

Such a Divine Skill as Split Dao Soul was something even Ding Huan hadn't encountered before.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were equally unaware.

If they had known, the three of them wouldn't have had to construct a Principle World for Ye Xuan; using the Split Dao Soul technique would have been far more convenient and safe.

When Shen Dai openly arrived outside Huo Shi's cave mansion, no Dao Thought came to stop him.

But Huo Shi didn't stop him either, which puzzled Shen Dai.

Logically, Huo Shi wouldn't have let him come openly, did something happen?

Ding Huan had long been observing the Source Principle Realm and various Source Principle Restrictions outside Huo Shi's cave mansion.

When his Dao Thought touched these Source Principle Restrictions, Ding Huan's mind tightened.

The layout of this Source Principle Realm is quite ingenious; could it be that I was wrong, and Huo Shi is indeed a formidable being?

However, Ding Huan quickly noticed something amiss. Those advanced Source Principle Realm Restrictions were merely warnings.

Generally, when sensing such Source Principle Restrictions, most would withdraw their spiritual consciousness.

Otherwise, it would mean creating a mortal enemy in Huo Shi.

Naturally, Ding Huan wasn't so enlightened; his spiritual consciousness carefully bypassed these Source Principle Restrictions.

When Ding Huan touched a new Source Principle Realm, he immediately confirmed that the Source Principle Realm outside Huo Shi's cave mansion was indeed inferior to Bu Shi.

The method of arranging this Source Principle Realm was not much stronger than his own.

No, it was actually inferior to his methods.

The outer warning Source Principle wasn't arranged by Huo Shi.

"Mr. Ding, what should I do?" Shen Dai, not receiving any hints from Ding Huan, could only cautiously inquire using Dao Thought.

"Immediately knock on the Restriction. Upon seeing Huo Shi, speak of the vast Taishi at once, without stopping for even a moment, and say it loudly..."

Ding Huan's voice transmission was completed almost instantly and then vanished.

Seeing that the Source Principle Realm outside Huo Shi's cave mansion was inferior to Bu Shi, Ding Huan felt increasingly confident in his hypothesis.

However, caution was still necessary.

Upon hearing Ding Huan's instructions, Shen Dai immediately activated the Restriction and loudly called out: "Lord Huo, little brother Shen Dai comes to plead forgiveness and presents an apology gift."

Inside Huo Shi's cave mansion, his Primordial Spirit hovered behind him, crisscrossed with Source Principle Dao Patterns, with profound Great Dao auras enveloping his Primordial Spirit, as if striving to tear it apart.

As the pressure tearing at the Primordial Spirit grew stronger, Huo Shi was filled with unease.

He doubted whether his Divine Skill could be unleashed before his body and Primordial Spirit would collapse.

As for the Great Dao Foundation, it was on the brink of being utterly destroyed.

Just as he was filled with unease deep within, he heard Shen Dai's voice.

Not only that, but Shen Dai also mentioned bringing an apology gift.

This delighted Huo Shi; he knew salvation was at hand.

The gift Shen Dai brought must be the vast Taishi.

Huo Shi rushed out of the cave mansion and saw Shen Dai's frail Primordial Spirit standing outside his cave mansion.

That Shen Dai was unharmed did not surprise Huo Shi.

With the vast Taishi, it would be strange if he could be killed.

Upon seeing Huo Shi, Shen Dai hurriedly bowed and greeted: "Lord Huo, previously Shen Dai acted foolishly and offended Lord Huo. Today I come specifically to plead for forgiveness.

As a token of apology, I present the vast Taishi..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Hearing Shen Dai mention the vast Taishi, Huo Shi's expression changed. He didn't even wait for Shen Dai to finish speaking before laughing heartily: "Lord Shen, you're too polite. Please come in for a chat."

With that, he used the Dao Rhythm to sweep Shen Dai's Primordial Spirit into the cave mansion, making it seem as though Shen Dai had entered of his own accord.

At this moment, the Restriction on Huo Shi's cave mansion was reapplied.

Huo Shi did not give Shen Dai the ability to move on his own; the Dao Rhythm carried Shen Dai, swiftly passing through several Position Realm Restrictions, bringing him into the cave mansion where he was secluded.

Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

His guess was correct, Huo Shi was a fake second Realm Lord.

This guy's cultivation indeed looked like the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, but Ding Huan suspected it only looked like the Ninth Step.

He transformed into a Source Principle on the wrist of Shen Dai's Primordial Spirit—if Huo Shi were truly strong, he would have discovered Ding Huan's existence long ago.

In fact, up till now, Huo Shi hadn't discovered anything.

The previously anxious Shen Dai also started to doubt Huo Shi's true abilities.

It was unrealistic for Huo Shi not to have noticed Ding Huan.

Knowing that Huo Shi was a fake expert, Ding Huan directly set up a Source Principle Realm in Huo Shi's cave mansion.

Huo Shi's cave mansion was quite impressive.

Even Shen Dai's cave mansion couldn't compare to the grandeur of Huo Shi's, let alone Dou Ling's.

The palace surrounding Huo Shi's cave mansion was entirely made of vast stone, a material that not only helps one perceive the Heaven and Earth Source Rules of the vast opening but also refines the Primordial Spirit.

As for the Cosmic Origin Veins, Ding Huan didn't even need to use Divine Will to observe; he could sense that the entire palace of the cave mansion was surrounded by Primordial Veins.

Before even starting cultivation, the space was already filled with the most intense Primordial Energy.

In Huo Shi's cave mansion, there was indeed a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

The Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain was something Ding Huan had always wanted to obtain; seeing it for the first time was exhilarating.

What puzzled Ding Huan was that Huo Shi's Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain seemed to be wrapped in Source Principle Restriction.

What was going on?

Was it that he didn't intend to use the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain in his cave mansion, or was it just for display?

No, something was wrong with Huo Shi's aura.

Ding Huan immediately noticed that Huo Shi's Primordial Spirit fluctuations were extremely unstable, as if he had just been cutting his own Primordial Spirit.

No matter the reason for cutting one's Primordial Spirit, it is an extremely dangerous technique.

In such a state, Huo Shi still brought Shen Dai in. This truly showed Huo Shi's urgent need for the vast Great Stone.

"Shen Dai, where's the vast Great Stone?"

Indeed, Huo Shi threw Shen Dai into the cave mansion, not bothering with anything else, his first question was about the vast Great Stone.

It seemed that he believed Shen Dai was at his mercy upon entering his cave mansion.

Hence, Huo Shi didn't even bother to put Source Principle Forbidden Pattern on Shen Dai.

Shen Dai stepped back a few steps, looking at Huo Shi: "Lord Huo, I've brought the vast Great Stone with me. I want to ask, did you really try to kill me for no reason just because of the vast Great Stone?"

Huo Shi was taken aback; it made no sense.

In this situation, Shen Dai still dared to ask such a reckless question?

Could it be that Shen Dai had come for death instead of life?

He raised his hand to enhance the Source Principle Restriction in the cave mansion, then fixed his gaze on Shen Dai: "Realm Lord Shen, you surely know the answer.

If you don't know I need the vast Great Stone, why would you bring it here?"

Shen Dai seemed not to fear much: "Lord Huo, tell me why you need the vast Great Stone?"

Even if Huo Shi were that dumb, he would know Shen Dai wasn't truly there to apologize and hand over the vast Great Stone.

Shen Dai made a fuss about the vast Great Stone outside his cave mansion, clearly intending for everyone to know about it.

Huo Shi took a deep breath, his Tao Domain closing in on Shen Dai: "Shen Dai, do you think I can't kill you?"

Shen Dai's tone remained calm: "Huo Shi, even if you can kill me, I guarantee you won't get the vast Great Stone."

After saying this, Shen Dai stared at Huo Shi.

If Huo Shi were truly the second strongest in the First Universe, he would effortlessly tear apart Shen Dai's world.

Huo Shi fell silent at Shen Dai's words.

Shen Dai felt deeply relieved; it turned out Huo Shi really couldn't tear apart his Tao World.

Ding Huan had captured his weaknesses effortlessly; there wasn't an ounce of injustice in that.

After so many years in the First Universe, Shen Dai never realized Huo Shi was a fake powerhouse.

Ding Huan identified the issue between Huo Shi and Bu Shi immediately upon his arrival; that's the difference.

Seeing Huo Shi's silence, Shen Dai straightforwardly said:

"You're trying to strip your Bloodline Dao Seal, right? With the vast Dao Stone, you not only protect your Dao Body but also your Primordial Spirit from harm.

Otherwise, with one misstep, you might face God Soul Annihilation.

Let me guess, who placed a Dao Thought Mark on you...

Was it Bu Shi? On the surface, you seem like Bu Shi's lackey, but in reality, is Bu Shi your lackey?"

Shen Dai felt increasingly pleased as he spoke.

He felt that the term "lackey", created by Ding Huan, perfectly suited Huo Shi.

"You..."

Huo Shi's face changed dramatically.

Before he could speak, he felt a powerful Tao Domain locking down his space.

The next moment, the pressure of death suffocated him.

It couldn't have been Shen Dai's doing.

"Who is it?"

Ding Huan revealed himself, smiling at Huo Shi: "It's your Grandpa Ding."

"Shen Dai, you dare to collude with outsiders..."

Huo Shi instantly realized that Shen Dai dared to come because he had brought someone along.

Yet moments ago, having performed the Split Dao Soul already injured his Primordial Spirit; now, he couldn't forcefully counterattack Ding Huan.
