Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1167 - 1160: 9 Gai 8 Yan

The guest hall of Shen Dai suddenly fell silent.

Shang even forgot about Ding Huan's cultivation.

Ding Huan taught Di Xin a lesson? And even split Di Xin's body in half?

If Di Xin were that useless, Mo Yuantian wouldn't have feared this guy.

In the past, Di Xin almost replaced Mo Yuantian as the head of the Ten Cosmic Realm Masters of the First Universe.

It can be said that if Mo Yuantian hadn't painted a rosy picture for the other Realm Lords of the First Universe, he would have been eliminated by Di Xin long ago.

Because he was too afraid of Di Xin, when Di Xin returned to the First Universe, Mo Yuantian was always on guard against this person.

The reason he was unwilling to stay at the core of the First Universe, instead coming to this remote corner where Shen Dai's cave mansion was located,

was simply that he didn't want to help Mo Yuantian deal with Di Xin.

How, in Ding Huan's eyes, was Di Xin sneaking up on him, and he still easily gravely injured Di Xin?

Besides, would someone like Di Xin ambush an obscure little outer universe cultivator like Ding Huan?

No matter how one thinks about it, Ding Huan's words don't sound true.

The reason he valued Ding Huan was because of the extensive knowledge he acquired from Shen Dai, leading him to conclude,

that Ding Huan was not simple at all.

It should be said, Ding Huan's future was not simple.

The future and the present are completely different concepts.

Ding Huan had already defeated Dou Ling at the eighth step of the Great Dao, saw through Huo Shi, and was able to take things from Douling Cave Mansion.

That indicates that once Ding Huan steps into the ninth step, he might be stronger than Mo Yuantian.

If Ding Huan could easily gravely injure Di Xin at the eighth step of the Great Dao, wouldn't that mean Ding Huan's future achievements could rival one of the Five Ancestors?

Shang was so shocked, while Shen Dai opened his mouth wide, not saying a word for quite some time.

Several breaths later, Shen Dai finally asked incredulously: "Brother Ding, did you really gravely injure Di Xin? Are you sure it was Di Xin?"

He knew of Ding Huan's strength, stronger than him, but to say he gravely injured Di Xin, he didn't quite believe it.

He had witnessed Ding Huan's strength, still far from Di Xin's league.

Ding Huan said casually, "What, do I need to lie about teaching Di Xin a lesson?"

Shang took a deep breath, his tone becoming much more respectful, and asked the same question as Shen Dai, "Mr. Ding, did you really gravely injure Di Xin?"

Ding Huan frowned, seemingly displeased with Shang and Shen Dai's repeated doubts.

However, he said nothing, raising his hand to throw out a net-like magical treasure.

"The Great Order Net?" Shang and Shen Dai exclaimed in shock simultaneously.

Di Xin's most iconic treasures were two: the Great Order of the Cosmos and the Great Order Net.

The Great Order of the Cosmos was Di Xin's lifeline. If it were lost, it would mean Di Xin had been killed.

The Great Order Net was also one of Di Xin's top treasures, now in Ding Huan's hands. It was clear he was gravely injured, otherwise, the Great Order Net couldn't possibly be in Ding Huan's possession.

Seeing he had stunned Shang, Ding Huan then put away the Great Order Net.

Shang realized this, stood up excitedly, and bowed to Ding Huan: "Brother Ding, do you know if Di Xin's Dao body is intact?"

Unconsciously, his form of address for Ding Huan had changed.

"I traded it to a friend." Ding Huan replied nonchalantly.

Traded?

Shang pondered how Ding Huan obtained Di Xin's Great Order Net. He found it hard to believe Ding Huan would trade away Di Xin's Dao body.

Di Xin's Dao body possessed a vast Origin Spirit, which was crucial for taking the ninth step of the Great Dao.

Similarly, to prove to the extreme the ninth step of the Great Dao, one must possess a vast Origin Spirit.

How could Ding Huan possibly trade that away?

Unless Ding Huan was deceiving him and Shen Dai, or Ding Huan had obtained the Great Order Net by some means.

But there was also a possibility that Ding Huan didn't know about the vast Origin Spirit.

This was possible, as Ding Huan wasn't a native cultivator of the First Universe, so it was normal not to know about the vast Origin Spirit.

"Brother Ding, who did you trade the Dao body to?"

Shang asked cautiously.

After asking, he seemed to feel it was overstepping, quickly adding:

"Brother Ding, I mean no offense, it's just that Di Xin's background is quite extraordinary, so it attracted some attention.

I'm worried that after leaving Brother Ding's hands, this broken Dao body might fall back into Di Xin's possession."

Although Shang's suggestion was unlikely, Ding Huan's heart still skipped a beat.

It's hard to say, if the Dao body in Ji Yijian's hands fell back into Di Xin's hands, it wouldn't be a good thing.

"His name is Ji Yijian, and, well, strictly speaking, you could consider him a Realm Lord." Ding Huan had no intention of hiding.

Ji Yijian? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Shang and Shen Dai exchanged a glance.

Ji Yijian was indeed one of the Realm Lords, but he had long been stripped of his position as Realm Lord and went missing after being besieged back then.

In the First Universe, there were always only nine Realm Lords, and even Shen Dai didn't consider Ji Yijian a Realm Lord.

If it's Ji Yijian, then it's not surprising he wants the vast Origin Spirit.

Shang's tone became heavy: "Brother Ding, ever since I heard from Shen Dai about what you did, I have admired you greatly.

I believe Brother Ding must know that the cosmic dynamics under the vastness are about to change, and many powerful figures are emerging from the shadows, wanting to gain personal benefits.

This Ji Yijian is probably not a simple character; his strength is likely higher than the Third Realm Lord, Qu Ba. This person has been concealing his abilities...

Back when the First Universe's Ten Realm Masters were ranked, it was strictly based on strength.

The higher the rank, the more resources allocated. For us Realm Lords, naturally, the more resources, the better.

Ji Yijian, surprisingly, did not compete and voluntarily became the Tenth Realm Lord, guarding the First Universe's Eightfold Expanse Canyon..."

Eightfold Expanse Canyon?

Ding Huan's heart was stirred. Since there is an Eightfold Expanse Canyon, is there something like a Nine Heights as well?

Shen Dai spoke from the side: "Yes, Brother Ding, the Eightfold Expanse Canyon is far more dangerous than where I guard. That Ji Yijian doesn't quite seem like someone willing to dedicate himself. You need to be careful with him."

Ding Huan stood up: "Daoist Shang, my interactions with Ji Yijian are merely to prepare for some cooperation.

Ji Yijian invited me to join him in doing something. If it succeeds, there will be considerable benefits. As for the quality of Ji Yijian's character, it is not much of my concern.

If you, Daoist Shang, and Daoist Shen are willing, I'll invite you to join then. If not, I won't call both of you when I leave."

Shen Dai was just a side character, but if Shang was called and not Shen Dai, it might hurt Shen Dai's pride.

Shang didn't continue discussing Ji Yijian and immediately said: "Brother Ding, I highly recognize you. If we go to make a fortune together in the future, count little brother in."

"Alright, straightforward, I'll definitely call you then. I won't stay any longer today, goodbye."

After sending Qu Yi back, Ding Huan was eager to rush to the vast Yuan Vein River to break through the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, so he had no time to waste here.

Shang took out a Little World and handed it to Ding Huan: "I felt a great affinity with Brother Ding at first sight, so I'm giving this Little World, containing a small trinket, to this young sister."

Though it was handed to Ding Huan, the recipient was Qu Yi.

Ding Huan's Divine Will had long swept over, discovering that inside this Little World was a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

He was truly full of admiration.

Shen Dai was also a Realm Lord but had not even managed to acquire a single Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain until now.

Yet Shang casually handed out a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain; indeed, you can't compare people.

At the same time, Ding Huan thought this guy had good judgment, knowing that Qu Yi and himself had an extraordinary relationship.

If it were given directly to him, it would not be quite right if he didn't reciprocate with something.

By giving it through him to Qu Yi, he could gain his favor without needing reciprocation.

If it were something else, Ding Huan would certainly refuse, but a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, he did not reject and accepted straightforwardly.

For Qu Yi to reach the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain was naturally the best thing.

Seeing Ding Huan accept the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain, Shang was overjoyed: "Brother Ding, Di Xin's strength can definitely easily crush Ji Yijian and Mo Yuantian together.

You've heavily injured him, so it's likely his Dao Body hasn't recovered yet. He was once driven out of the First Universe.

The only thing I don't understand is why this guy dared to return to the First Universe without recovering. Di Xin is quite eerie, Brother Ding, you must be cautious in the future.

It's best not to give this Great Net to others, otherwise, it may cause trouble."

Di Xin not recovering didn't surprise Ding Huan; not to mention Di Xin, Ji Yijian's strength was equally questionable.

If Ji Yijian had no issues with his strength, then he wouldn't have invited me to conspire against Si Wu, nor would he have been so eager for Di Xin's Dao Body.

"Daoist Shang, thank you."

Even without Shang's reminder, as long as Di Xin was alive, he would never give the Great Net for those around him to use.

As Ding Huan prepared to leave, he remembered Nine Heights and Eight Expanse, and casually asked, "Daoist Shang, do you know of Nine Heights?"

Hearing Ding Huan mention Nine Heights, Shang's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice: "Brother Ding, be careful with your words. Beyond Nine Heights is one of the Three Paths, Wu Dao's dojo, and he's the most eccentric among them.

Try not to mention it if possible; the First Universe has his Great Dao Source Principles laid down, and if he somehow catches wind of someone talking about his dojo, disaster may strike."

One of the Three Paths?

Why is there a dojo beyond Nine Heights, yet Eightfold Expanse Canyon requires guarding?

Seeing Shang's drastically changed expression, Ding Huan didn't ask further.

Shang is diplomatically skillful, smooth, and has good judgment.

But he still preferred teaming up with Ji Yijian; if there's a fight, there's a fight.

Ji Yijian dared to plot against Si Wu and had no fear talking about the One Yuan Three Paths, unlike Shang's cautious demeanor.

If that's the case, he'll just go ask Ji Yijian then.

Ji Yijian himself guards the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, so he must know more.

"Daoist Shen Dai, are you in? Ku Baizhen has come to visit." With the sound arriving, the restriction on Shen Dai's cave mansion was activated.

Shen Dai looked outside in confusion.

Although he was the Ninth Realm Lord, Ku Baizhen, as the Eighth Realm Lord, held a status far beyond his reach.

The two had never interacted, strictly speaking, and besides Shang, no other Realm Lord would lower themselves to engage with Shen Dai.

With Ku Baizhen's strength, he could easily kill Shen Dai.

Yes, Ku Baizhen is indeed the Eighth Realm Lord, having attested to the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, making him a hundred times stronger than Shen Dai.

(Good night, Daoist!)
