Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1166 - 1160: Meeting Shang

Upon hearing Ji Yijian's oath, Ding Huan was quite satisfied.

This is a Great Dao oath directly pointing to the true mind, indicating that the positional Dao Scroll offered by Ji Yijian is genuine.

After Ding Huan put away Ji Yijian's Dao Scroll, he handed a part of Di Xin's Dao Body to Ji Yijian:

"Mr. Ji, there's no need for oaths between us, we have a good friendship. You should take this Dao Body first, but I estimate that Di Xin will certainly not let me go.

Rest assured, even if Di Xin catches me, I won't reveal that the Dao Body was given to you."

Ji Yijian secretly despised Ding Huan, but faced with Di Xin's Dao Body, he was still excited.

This is precisely what he yearned for.

As for what Ding Huan said, wasn't it obvious?

If Di Xin released Ding Huan, then Ji Yijian must be blind.

Di Xin's partial Dao Body is crucial for him to step out to the ninth level of the Great Dao.

Now that Di Xin was tricked by Ding Huan and lost his partial Dao Body, he would surely seek the chance to kill Ding Huan and retrieve his Dao Body.

Di Xin himself probably lacks the strength, but he could invite others for help.

After all, Di Xin is top-tier strong, having emerged alongside the vast opening, he has some friends.

He initially had no plan to remind Ding Huan of this matter. Since Ding Huan already thought about it and presented the Dao Body as a favor, Ji Yijian couldn't help but say: 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Mr. Ding, this is exactly what I wanted to say. There is a great possibility that Di Xin will come to find you, be cautious. Since the matter with Si Wu is postponed, I shall also retreat for a period."

After the two exchanged Communication Beads, they reluctantly parted ways.

At least, on the surface, they both seemed very reluctant.

"Brother, will that guy really come after you?" Qu Yi asked worriedly after Ji Yijian left.

Ding Huan was able to severely injure Di Xin purely due to a sneak attack.

If Di Xin recovers and comes to find Ding Huan, the result is uncertain.

"Don't worry, that guy has been severely injured by me. Even if he tries to find me, he won't dare come alone.

I'll be heading to the Yuan Vein River to retreat for a while. Once I step into the ninth level of the Great Dao, I won't fear that guy coming."

Qu Yi knew that staying by Ding Huan's side would be of no use and could even hinder Ding Huan in his quest to reach the ninth level of the Great Dao.

For Ding Huan to strike the ninth level of the Great Dao, the Yuan Vein River should not have another person, and she also could not remain in Ding Huan's Great Dao World.

If Di Xin comes, she would definitely be a liability.

Though very unwilling to part from Ding Huan, Qu Yi understood that she must leave first.

Thinking of this, Qu Yi straightforwardly said: "Can I leave the First Universe first to find Nian Huan and wait for you after you step into the ninth level of the Great Dao?"

Ding Huan was not surprised at Qu Yi's suggestion.

He is soon going to the Yuan Vein River to charge into the ninth level of the Great Dao. Qu Yi staying here would mean waiting beside him, which indeed has no significance for her.

When cultivating in the Void Algae, he hadn't attempted to step into the ninth level of the Great Dao, but Qu Yi remaining in his Great Dao World affected him.

After he steps into the ninth level of the Great Dao, Qu Yi definitely cannot stay in his Great Dao World, not even in the Yuan Vein River.

Given Qu Yi's current strength, the Yuan Vein River would be of no use to her.

During normal times, having Qu Yi by his side would naturally be better.

Now he has offended too many people and has to attempt to step into the ninth level of the Great Dao, so Qu Yi leaving the First Universe is also good.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan took out a Five Elements World and handed it to Qu Yi:

"When you attained the seventh level of the Dao, you used the vast source Primordial Energy and comprehended the Cosmic Origin Principle. So when attaining the eighth level of the Dao, you only need Cosmic Origin Veins.

Inside here are two treasures, the Dao Tower and the Great Dao Whip. The Dao Tower is the very treasure that trapped you before. You can refine it and use it however you wish, and the Great Dao Whip is an Attack Treasure."

The Dao Tower is an auxiliary and Defense Treasure, which is fine.

The Great Dao Whip is not simple; it's an Attack Treasure from Dou Ling.

Dou Ling had long been dealt with, so Ding Huan dared offer this item to Qu Yi.

If Dou Ling were still alive, Ding Huan wouldn't dare let Qu Yi use the Great Dao Whip.

"You must be careful; I'll wait for you after finding Nian Huan outside."

Qu Yi took the items, feeling quite reluctant.

She and Ding Huan parted for such a long time, and just met not long ago, yet now had to separate again.

Ding Huan smiled: "You don't have to look for Nian Huan; we have a place. Nian Huan must certainly be there. Even if she isn't there temporarily, she will return."

"Where is it?"

Qu Yi looked at Ding Huan joyfully. If there is a place, then Ding Huan, as soon as he achieves the ninth level, can come anytime to find her.

She wouldn't have to wander everywhere like before, almost eternally stuck in Tongti Star Land.

"A place called Blue Star Island, located at the fringe of the World of Gods. I won't let you go back alone; I will accompany you back."

Despite Qu Yi's strong power, she still hadn't surpassed his seventh level of the Great Dao back then.

Traveling from the First Universe to Blue Star Island isn't a trivial journey, so Ding Huan naturally couldn't let Qu Yi take the risk.

He had a feeling that those wicked creatures emerging alongside the vast opening had gradually shown themselves; clearly, under the vastness, a new order is about to be redrawn.

Having cultivated to this point, Ding Huan faintly felt a very distinct pattern in this.

He didn't know how it was divided before, but this time, Ding Huan will join in.

There is absolutely no way he will allow the universe he belongs to become the plaything of the Realm Lords in the Ten Directions, much less having any Ancestor-like entity over him.

"Leaving the First Universe to return to the World of Gods is quite far, isn't it? Will this trip delay your time?"

Qu Yi was equally eager for Ding Huan to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao soon.

How long had it been since she and Ding Huan left the Void Algae? They encountered the incredibly powerful Ji Yijian, and that ambushing strongman, Di Xin.

Even though she didn't participate in the conversation between Ding Huan and Ji Yijian, she could hear from their dialogue that neither Di Xin nor Ji Yijian could be considered top-level powerhouses.

Even Si Wu, seriously injured, needed several people to join forces to ambush and calculate.

This showed that in this high-level universe, strong ones are as numerous as cattle, just that they haven't appeared yet.

So she also hoped Ding Huan could enhance his strength soon.

What if a top powerhouse suddenly appeared?

Ding Huan shook his head, "No, previously together with Ji Yijian, I didn't want to expose my secrets. Now that this guy has left, we can teleport."

In the First Universe, Ding Huan didn't know how many teleportation source principles were arranged.

As long as he kept teleporting, he could transfer to the position where he entered the First Universe.

Ji Yijian was from the First Universe, with an unknown origin, and Ding Huan only recently found out this guy was actually a Realm Lord.

Regardless of whether Ji Yijian was a Realm Lord, Ding Huan wouldn't reveal his teleportation points to him.

Now that Ji Yijian has left, he is naturally unrestrained.

…

Despite having many teleportation arrays, it was eleven years later when Ding Huan and Qu Yi arrived outside Shen Dai's cave mansion.

The Fifth Realm Lord of the First Universe, Shang, always wanted to meet him and sought alliance through Shen Dai.

Previously, Ding Huan was unwilling to come, thinking his strength was too weak, fearing that he wouldn't stand a chance against Shang.

Now, he wasn't sure if he could defeat Shang, but he wasn't completely defenseless.

He had seen Ji Yijian's strength, which was impossible to crush him.

"Brother Ding, I've been waiting for you; seeing you again, indeed..."

Seeing Ding Huan arrive, Shen Dai was overjoyed.

He was genuinely delighted; now he was tied to Ding Huan and could only turn to him.

Shang had been in retreat at his place, Shen Dai was well aware, Shang favored Ding Huan, believing Ding Huan would be extraordinary in the future.

That's why he stayed here in retreat, also offering protection.

If Ding Huan never came, Shang might leave.

Once Shang left his cave mansion, Shen Dai suspected he would soon be eliminated in his own cave mansion.

"I was trapped in a place due to some issues, only recently getting free..."

As Ding Huan spoke, his gaze fell upon Shang beside Shen Dai: "This should be the Fifth Realm Lord Shang, Dao friend."

In fact, as soon as Ding Huan arrived, Shang's gaze never left him.

The more Shang looked at Ding Huan, the more shocked he became.

Could he be mistaken?

Ding Huan hadn't stepped into the Ninth Step yet.

Since Ding Huan hadn't stepped into the Ninth Step, why was he confident enough to come here?

Was he not afraid of being killed effortlessly?

Confused and puzzled, Shang still revealed a surprising expression: "I've waited for Mr. Ding for many years; meeting him today truly lives up to the reputation."

Ding Huan also sighed:

"Thank you for fighting for a Realm Lord position for me, Dao friend Shang. I received the message from Mr. Shen long ago and wanted to meet Dao friend Shang, but I was always unable to leave until recently, when I found the opportunity to get free.

Upon freeing myself, I came here immediately."

Shen Dai quickly said, "Let's talk inside."

Ding Huan didn't introduce Qu Yi, and both Shang and Shen Dai sensibly refrained from inquiring.

Upon entering Shen Dai's cave mansion, Ding Huan knew Shang must be very wealthy.

Shen Dai's cave mansion area was once again planted with Cosmic Origin Veins.

Shen Dai likely didn't even have half a Primordial Vein on him; now, with so many Cosmic Origin Veins, surely it was Shang who provided them.

For Shang to provide so many Cosmic Origin Veins to Shen Dai indicated he must possess even more.

No matter how calm Shang could remain, once they sat down, he couldn't hold back, asking, "Mr. Ding, this retreat lasted so long, did you gain anything?"

Shen Dai was stunned, then turned to Shang and said, "Brother Shang, Brother Ding's retreat wasn't very long, only around a hundred thousand years."

Shang laughed in his heart; Shen Dai was an idiot, but he certainly wasn't.

If Ding Huan dared to visit him without stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, it showed he was wrong in his previous assessment.

Such a foolish person, if he allied with him, it would only lead him to a quicker demise.

He would not hesitate to eliminate Ding Huan and then leave immediately.

Shen Dai didn't know Shang's intentions, but Ding Huan was well aware; he was here to ally with Shang and didn't wish to waste time here.

Upon hearing Shang's words, he casually replied, "The gains were average, I accidentally got trapped, and when I escaped, I encountered Di Xin.

I was already in a bad mood, and this fool Di Xin attempted to ambush me, so I went ahead and taught him a lesson, slicing off half of his body."

(Good night, Dao friend!)
