Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1157 - 1150: Void Dao Network

Not only was Qu Yi alright, his strength was also soaring rapidly, which greatly lifted Ding Huan's spirits.

Ding Huan had no guilt whatsoever about using the Void Algae to prove the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

The Void Algae belongs to no one, and no person can cultivate such a defying existence.

The Void Algae existed since the Vast Origin created the Universe, it could be said it accompanied the creation.

It is the product of the combination of the Vast Origin Source Principle and Vast Primordial Qi, and the Void Algae is merely a form of manifestation.

Anyone can utilize this thing.

The person who left their Dao Thought here only discovered this place earlier.

They discovered this place first, then left a Dao Thought Mark, claiming this place as their own and forbidding others to use it.

Quite ridiculous.

If not for Qu Yi suddenly leaving his Tao World, breaking the balance, he might have truly struggled to awaken, ultimately sacrificing himself to the Dao.

Choosing not to seek revenge on the one who left the Dao Thought was already generous of him. If that person came looking, it would be time to settle all scores.

As Ding Huan circulated the Great Universe Technique again, he found his accumulation of the Great Dao reaching its peak. If he wished, he could step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao at any moment.

Ding Huan was keenly aware that even within the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, power levels varied significantly.

For instance, Shen Dai and Mo Yuantian.

This differentiation wasn't formed initially.

Perhaps Shen Dai and Mo Yuantian were evenly matched at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao.

But upon entering the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, their perception of the Great Dao, of their own Dao Body, of the Vast Universe, and of the Primordial Origin Principles differed…

It was these varying understandings that led to differing Daoist Skills in the Great Dao Rules.

Ultimately, their powers were worlds apart.

If he were to prove the Ninth Step of the Great Dao now, what would differentiate him from Shen Dai?

Or rather, what was the point of him coming here?

He possessed tens of thousands of Cosmic Origin Veins and a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain; he could prove the Ninth Step of the Great Dao anywhere. Was it necessary to come here?

He spent over ten thousand years opening up such a massive Vast Origin Vein Lake, only to find it useless in the end.

Moreover, outside the Vein Lake lay the boundless Void Algae Forest, which he could only gaze at.

He absolutely couldn't follow Shen Dai's path.

But could he take Mo Yuantian's path?

Ding Huan wasn't clear what Mo Yuantian's path of the Great Dao was.

But he could roughly guess Shen Dai's path, which was similar to his current state, accumulating to a certain extent, then stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

The problem was, if he didn't step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao now, there was almost no possibility of further progress.

Ding Huan swept his Divine Will over the vast expanse of the Vast Origin Vein Lake, and the endless Void Algae beyond, falling into contemplation…

If he proved the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, yet couldn't even exhaust the Vast Origin Vein Lake formed by constructing the Vast Origin Source Principle, would there be any difference between proving and not proving?

At most, his foundation would be deeper, and he'd be slightly stronger.

He might end up much stronger than Shen Dai, yet still only become the next Shen Dai in the end.

He divided countless Void Algae, built the vast Vast Origin Vein Lake, not to benefit others.

If the Ninth Step of the Great Dao could be completed with just a few of his Cosmic Origin Veins coupled with a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, then this Ninth Step would indeed be quite lacking.

This Vast Origin Vein Lake must be consumed.

Not only the Vast Primordial Qi within the Vein Lake but also the endless Void Algae outside must be utilized to the greatest extent possible.

The more consumed, the better.

Ding Huan always held lofty ambitions and was reluctant to let his accomplishments benefit others.

He aspired not only to this Vast Origin Vein Lake but also to expand it into a Vast Origin Vein River, consuming it all together.

However, at the extreme of the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, he couldn't exhaust this massive Vast Origin Vein Lake.

Isn't this strange?

Once, in his days of muddled wisdom, he could consume all the Vast Primordial Qi.

Following the path of the Great Dao he once tread, eventually, his Dao Body would become part of his Cosmic World.

Why, upon gaining clarity, did he feel unable to even consume the Vast Origin Vein Lake?

Deep inside, an unbelievable sense of unease emerged within Ding Huan.

The reason he had managed to consume the self-constructed Vein Lake and all the Void Algae's Primordial Energy was the Dao Thought left in the Void Algae influencing him.

What does this indicate?

It signifies that the person treating the Void Algae Forest as their own possesses ample capability to consume the entire forest's vast Primordial Energy.

This individual's power in the Great Dao far exceeds his own.

While he stood on the ground, the other was in the atmosphere.

With such power, it may not be him seeking vengeance in the future, but rather whether that person might effortlessly crush him.

Now, with his consciousness clear and no longer sacrificing his Dao Body, the Dao Thought decisively disintegrated the Dao's direction…

Actually, Ding Huan knew the disintegration of that Dao direction too.

By using the Great Universe Technique to invert all the Void Algae and transform them into a Vast Origin Vein River.

Ultimately, this Vast Origin Vein River would become Primordial Qi to expand his Cosmic World, and not only that, his Dao Body would also extend into billions of Source Principles in his Cosmic World.

Ding Huan speculated his Dao Body should have disintegrated before the Vast Origin Vein River, turning into infinite Primordial Origin Principles.

Once his dao body disintegrates, the vast Yuan Vein River will not disappear, nor will it continue to expand the Tao Universe World; instead, it will remain here for the Void Algae master to use.

As for the cosmic world he transformed with his dao body and the Great Dao, it will become someone else's private garden.

"Huu!"

Ding Huan let out a long sigh.

This old turtle really dreams big.

Since this Endless Void Algae and vast Primordial Vein Lake are prepared for the Great Dao, he can do the same.

Isn't his Eighth Step of Great Dao at its peak?

Then he should step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

The difference is, he cannot simply step into the Ninth Step easily, but must construct a completely new circulation.

He intends to transform the vast Primordial Vein Lake and endless Void Algae into the Vast Primordial Qi needed for the Ninth Step of the Great Dao when he steps into it.

Once he reaches the Ninth Step, this vast Primordial Qi will be the towering Dao Yuan, his Great Dao strength.

If he cannot consume this vast Primordial Qi, then he cannot step into the Ninth Step.

This is creating difficulties where there are none.

Throughout his cultivation of the Great Universe Technique, he has always progressed smoothly without any bottleneck.

Now he wants to create a bottleneck to increase the difficulty of the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan suspects he might be the only cultivator in the vast universe who sets bottlenecks and difficulties for his own advancement path.

Ding Huan smiled self-mockingly.

He's simply not one of those beings from the opening of the vast expanse, and he doesn't know any of those vast Great Dao.

They don't include the Vast Dao among the three thousand Great Dao.

While circulating the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan contemplated how to consume such a massive amount of vast Primordial Qi.

His dao body has reached the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, but the absorption of vast Primordial Qi remains limited.

Once reaching the limit, the dao body cannot absorb more vast Primordial Qi.

Then he would use the Great Universe Technique as a base, his dao body as the core, to construct a new Void Dao Network.

The Void Dao Network is connected to his own Great Dao Foundation, yet independently hides outside the universe.

This way, no matter how much vast Primordial Qi there is, he can leverage the newly constructed Void Dao Network for circulation.

If one Void Dao Network isn't enough, then two will do, if two don't suffice, construct more...

Until all the Void Algae here are consumed.

In the future, when facing enemies, because of the Void Dao Network, his own Dao Yuan is inexhaustible.

Ding Huan clenched his fist excitedly.

No one probably imagined something like the Void Dao Network, could they?

Even if they did, constructing it would still be fraught with difficulty.

Ding Huan didn't know if he could construct it, but perhaps this is the true meaning of the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

It's also why, after stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, everyone's strength varies widely.

Ding Huan doesn't care how others achieve the Ninth Step of the Great Dao; with his method of achieving the Ninth Step, at least in terms of Great Dao Yuan Power, he's already invincible.

After his excitement, Ding Huan calmed down.

It was as if a light flashed through the depths of his consciousness.

He suddenly realized that what he's comprehending and creating might not be the essential principle of the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

This might very well be the genuine path and secret of stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Regardless, his first step is to construct his own Void Dao Network.

Although the idea of the Void Dao Network is simple, actually constructing it is not easy.

Even though Ding Huan cultivates the Great Universe Technique, which is most suitable for transforming Tao Techniques and constructing a Tao framework, fully constructing the first Void Dao Network is still not easy.

Previously, every Taoist circulation he constructed using the Great Universe Technique was himself as the Tao Foundation, which was much easier.

Now he's using the vast universe as a carrier, centered on himself, to construct the Void Dao Network for his own use. How can one describe such a challenge?

All Ding Huan can do is attempt repeatedly.

The Void Dao Network must be able to circulate with his Great Universe Technique to form a circulation while also being able to operate independently.

When he came to this realization, Ding Huan was rendered speechless.

Does this mean as long as a shred of his will remains, he is eternally existing?

With his current abilities, he can leave a bit of will anywhere.

Even if he doesn't leave any will, who in this universe can erase him utterly?

So this is what eternal life means.

Understanding the power of the Void Dao Network, Ding Huan became even more determined not to slack off.

He even ceased the reversal of the Void Algae, devoting all his energy to constructing the first Void Dao Network.

Whether he could step into the Ninth Step no longer matters to Ding Huan.

Once he constructs the first Void Dao Network, the subsequent ones won't be far behind.

Don't mention the Ninth Step of the Great Dao; even stepping into the Ninth Step is now in plain sight.

(Good night, fellow cultivators!)
