Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1179 - 1172: The Hard Passage Through Nine Gaihan

"First, let's set up various teleportation array patterns and teleportation realms, just in case we might need them in the future. Besides, once we enter the Nine Realm Vastness, we should keep laying down teleportation array patterns continually.

After all, this void vastness is something we've never encountered or entered before. In case of any unforeseen events, we might still rely on the previously laid teleportation realm to escape."

Mo Wuji thought it through comprehensively. Whether or not their teleportation array patterns would be useful, having them is better than not.

After setting up the teleportation realm, Lan Xiaobu controlled the Seven Realms Stone to plunge into the Nine Realm Vastness.

The three of them were optimistic. As soon as the Seven Realms Stone entered the Nine Realm Vastness, each took control over a side, jointly supporting the Seven Realms Stone.

However, as soon as the Seven Realms Stone entered the Nine Realm Vastness, not only Lan Xiaobu, but even Mo Wuji and Ding Huan felt it sinking rapidly.

In just an instant, the Seven Realms Stone submerged into the vast waters.

No matter how the three joined forces to support it, the Seven Realms Stone couldn't stop its descent.

Lan Xiaobu chose an aqueous entry point in the Nine Realm Vastness, but at this rate of sinking, it seemed bottomless.

What's more, the deeper the Seven Realms Stone sank, the more intense the oppressive force the three felt.

It felt as if ordinary people were descending into the deep sea, crushed and suffocated by immense pressure. The suffocation Lan Xiaobu, Mo Wuji, and Ding Huan felt was becoming scarier and scarier.

It was as if the entire vast universe was pressing down on them, and this pressure, akin to the universe itself, continued to intensify as the Seven Realms Stone descended.

Forget about them being at the eighth step of the Great Dao; even someone at the ninth step likely couldn't bear such terrifying pressure.

If this continued, the three of them would invariably be crushed to dust.

"Ding Huan, Xiaobu, let's separate quickly... The Seven Realms Stone can't take all three of us through the Nine Realm Vastness... If we manage to get through... we'll wait for each other inside for a hundred thousand years..."

After Mo Wuji said these words, he directly rushed out of the Seven Realms Stone.

Any longer, and he wouldn't be able to say a word, possibly unable even to escape the Seven Realms Stone.

Ding Huan broke out from another direction almost simultaneously.

Lan Xiaobu also retracted the Seven Realms Stone, then desperately constructed his own Eternal Tao Space.

The pressure he bore earlier was the greatest because the Seven Realms Stone belonged to him.

Now that Ding Huan and Mo Wuji left, he put away the Seven Realms Stone and constructed his Eternal Origin Principle Space, barely easing the pressure a little.

With Ding Huan leaving the Seven Realms Stone, the extreme pressure reduced significantly, yet he was still sinking madly.

Ding Huan knew if he didn't promptly come up with a plan, he'd still be crushed to dust.

He never thought that after cultivating to the universe's extremity, reaching the eighth step of the Great Dao, one day he'd still be fatally compressed by water pressure.

At the fastest speed, Ding Huan constructed a Void Dao Network.

But deep within these vast waters, his divine will could only circulate around him and couldn't extend outward.

Even so, he managed to construct a Void Dao Network.

Once the Void Dao Network was established, and with the formation of the first Great Universe Technique Circulation, Ding Huan immediately felt a lightening of the pressure around him.

He hurriedly escaped upwards in frenzy.

As he ascended, Ding Huan felt the pressure around him increasingly lessen; he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His divine will could only sweep a distance of a zhang around him.

Better than before when his divine will could only circulate around him. As he continued upwards, his divine will kept expanding.

Indeed, sometimes it's not that more people equal more strength.

If Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and he had entered the Nine Realm Vastness separately from the start, they wouldn't have nearly lost their lives in the depths of the Nine Realm Vastness.

After several days, Ding Huan finally broke through from the depths of the Nine Realm Vastness waters, standing atop the vast waters.

Although his divine will was still limited inside the Nine Realm Vastness, he could now scan tens of thousands of miles far. All the area within range of his divine will was just vast waters, with nothing else.

At times, the wind within the Nine Realm Vastness could only be found in specific areas, yet above the vast waters where Ding Huan now stood, no wind source existed at all.

The tens of thousands of miles of vast waters within the range of his divine will appeared like a mirror, perfectly flat, giving an unreal and eerie feeling.

Standing alone above these tens of thousands of miles of serene vast waters, Ding Huan seemed somewhat out of place with the whole Nine Realm Vastness.

This place lacked any sound, and Ding Huan could hear the flow of his own blood.

Standing solitary in the middle of the mirror-like vast waters, there was an extreme sense of loneliness.

Ding Huan took a deep breath. Having cultivated this long, he wouldn't be swayed by such loneliness.

But he was very clear inside; he must find out the direction, or else being trapped in the Nine Realm Vastness for millions of years wasn't impossible.

Legend has it that the Nine Realm Vastness is ring-shaped. What he needs to do now is to pass through this ring into the void inside the Nine Realm Vastness.

And not get trapped in this ring.

Fortunately, before entering the Nine Realm Vastness, Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu had already studied its positioning.

They hadn't been cultivating in the First Universe for merely a day or two, and they were extremely sensitive to the cosmic origin principles of the First Universe.

As long as they moved in the direction where the First Universe's source principle became increasingly sparse, they were heading the right way.

Because the Nine Realm Vastness ultimately pointed away from the First Universe.

Ding Huan wasn't entirely familiar with the Heaven and Earth Source Rules of the First Universe, but he was undeniably perceptive to them.

So he quickly found the right direction to continue moving forward.

To travel within the Nine Realm Vastness, he couldn't initially use a Flying Treasure.

Ding Huan knew that without using a Flying Treasure, it would undoubtedly be incredibly challenging.

He must devise a way to use a Flying Treasure.

Otherwise, who knows how many years he'd spend flying in the Nine Realm Vastness?

Maybe ten thousand years, or perhaps a hundred thousand years.

But it can't be less than ten thousand years.

Flying for thousands of years in the Ninth Di Seaways, constantly on guard against being dragged into the depths of the Seaways.

If he didn't use his Flying Treasure, it would be too exhausting.

Even though he is now at the eighth step of the Great Dao, by the time he escapes the Ninth Di Seaways, he would likely be reduced to skin and bones.

Ding Huan knows that summoning the Cosmic Pot definitely won't work.

If the Cosmic Pot worked, then the three of them, along with the Seven Realm Stone, wouldn't have been swept into the depths of the Ninth Di Seaways.

He needs to refine a Magical Treasure that can withstand the suction from the waters of the Ninth Di Seaways.

He must first thoroughly study the Cosmic Origin Principle of this space in the Ninth Di Seaways, and the changes between various Cosmic Origin Principles.

At this moment, Ding Huan is glad he thought early about the methods for constructing the Void Dao Network.

The Void Dao Network may not be of much use at the ninth step of proving the Dao, but here, it is quite useful.

Through the Great Universe Technique Circulation of the Void Dao Network, Ding Huan can more quickly comprehend the Cosmic Origin Principle of the Ninth Di Seaways.

If his Flying Treasure is to fly in the Ninth Di Seaways, it must fit all the Cosmic Origin Principles of the Ninth Di Seaways.

After Ding Huan refined his first Flying Shuttle Treasure, it flew for only the time of a stick of incense before being swept into the depths of the Seaways.

Ding Huan felt helpless; unless he stays in place or returns to his original spot, any Flying Treasure he refines would be dragged into the waters.

Because as he advances, the Cosmic Origin Principle of the Ninth Di Seaways keeps changing.

And the difference in these changes is quite significant.

After he left the first universe, the changes and transformations of the Cosmic Origin Principle became faster.

The characteristic of the Ninth Di Seaways is that any Flying Treasure not in sync with its own Cosmic Origin Principle will be dragged into the depths of the waters.

This is while within the waters region.

If he leaves the waters, entering the sand, marsh, or even fire regions...

If he wants not to rely on his own flying, there's only one way: his Flying Treasure must constantly change its own Origin Principle attributes to match the Principles of the space it's in.

In other words, his Flying Treasure must be alive, able to constantly perfect its own Magical Treasure Origin Principle structure.

This... 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Ding Huan knows this is hard, possibly impossible to achieve.

Anyway, since he's on a journey, idle time is idle, he can only test repeatedly.

After the first thousand years passed, Ding Huan could barely refine a Flying Treasure that could change its own Origin Principle structure anytime.

The prerequisite is providing enough materials.

However, this type of treasure is mediocre to Ding Huan.

What he can refine is merely a supreme Flying Divine Artifact.

This kind of Flying Treasure, flying in the Ninth Di Seaways, might take millions of years and still not fly out of the Ninth Di Seaways.

Moreover, Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned ahead and found him about to break out of the waters region of the Ninth Di Seaways; there seems to be a vast marsh ahead.

Ding Huan hasn't encountered the marshes within the Ninth Di Seaways yet; he suspects the waters are the least threatening region.

Indeed, once Ding Huan entered the Ninth Di Seaways marsh, besides suction increasing, space Principles also appeared chaotic.

Ding Huan completely abandoned the idea of refining Flying Treasures.

Under such chaotic Cosmic Origin Principles, refining a Flying Treasure that can self-upgrade is simply wishful thinking.

He's better off improving his Escape Technique.

Ding Huan flew above the Ninth Di Seaways marsh, his Divine Will compressing again.

In the Ninth Di Seaways marsh, there are various top treasures.

In this vast marsh, one occasionally sees materials containing vast primordial Origin Principles, and some things that could form treasures.

Ding Huan has no interest in these.

Only rarely when he sees a piece containing the great Origin Spirit does he show interest in collecting one or two.

The marsh is equally boundless, without a single Spirit Plant,

If not for occasionally seeing treasures containing vast Origin Spirit, the marsh of Ninth Di Seaways is likewise a lifeless place.

Flying above the marsh, Ding Huan's speed slowed again.

Three thousand years passed, his Divine Will scouring outwards, the marsh still seemed boundless.

Though he has flown for three thousand years in the Ninth Di Seaways marsh, his Escape Technique hasn't improved, nor has his Divine Will strengthened even slightly.

It's like having reached the end of a hundred-foot pole; Ding Huan feels a slight advance in the Great Dao is very difficult.

He had long adjusted his mindset.

After stepping into the eighth step of the Great Dao, the Dao under the vast became unfriendly to him.

He never intended to instantly leap over the Ninth Di Seaways.

If the Ninth Di Seaways were so easy to traverse, it wouldn't be that few people venture here.

That day, Ding Huan continued his usual manner, flying leisurely above the marsh of the Ninth Di Seaways.

To his surprise, he saw life.

A man stood on a rocky outcrop in the marsh of the Ninth Di Seaways, holding a sword, seeming nailed in place.

At the first sight of that sword, Ding Huan immediately thought of Ye Xuan.

(Good evening, fellow Daoist!)
