Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1182 - 1175: Honest Sword Heaven

"Fellow Daoist, I feel that I can already break free from this Source Principle plane..."

Sword Heaven couldn't help but speak.

In Ding Huan's Dao Rhythm Domain, he reversed the Source Principle, and the profound mysteries within it had long been thoroughly observed by him.

He believed he could break free from the entanglement of the gray path lines at any moment.

He just hadn't spoken because it would be disrespectful to Ding Huan, who truly took action, by breaking free now without his signal.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven can now break free with all his strength. If anything unexpected happens, I can help you hold it back."

Ding Huan didn't mind in the slightest.

Sword Heaven gained insights into this Source Principle plane that trapped him during the process of reversing the Source Principle, which was Sword Heaven's fortune, and he himself gained considerable benefits too.

Not only did he become more familiar with Sword Heaven's vast Primordial Sword Technique, but he also gained some understanding of Wu Dao's Source Principle plane.

After receiving Ding Huan's permission, Sword Intent surged around Sword Heaven.

One by one, gray path lines were severed by Sword Heaven's Sword Intent.

Sword Heaven shot into the sky like a wild horse broken free of reign.

Just as he was about to break free from the constraints of these gray path lines, countless gray path lines suddenly swept out from the void again.

The binding field of gray path lines instantly locked the space where Sword Heaven was located.

Sword Heaven's face changed.

He thought that once he broke free from the path lines of Nine Gadagahas, he would be free.

Unexpectedly, Wu Dao had hidden void path lines in this void.

After all, he had been trapped for millions of years.

No matter how strong he was, after cutting the gray path lines with Sword Intent for millions of years, he was now at his wits' end.

He had just exerted himself fully to cut off almost all the gray path lines with Sword Intent, and now his Dao Rhythm was at its weakest.

If he gets locked by these path lines again, even with Ding Huan's help, it would be difficult to break free.

Just at this moment, a slicing Blade Force that could tear the universe swept in.

While Sword Heaven was focusing on the gray path lines on the reef, Ding Huan, the breaker of the reversed Source Principle plane, had already sensed that there was more to this Source Principle plane.

It's just that he didn't know what the follow-up was about temporarily.

Now that boundless gray path lines appeared in the void, Ding Huan instead felt relieved.

It's just a Great Cutting Technique.

As powerful as Wu Dao is, he's not here; these gray path lines can't stop his Great Cutting Technique.

The Breaking Tribulation Blade Force that had been gathering momentum swept out.

"Crack!" The Sword Light precisely tore through one path line after another.

Sword Heaven emerged safely from the enveloping path lines and landed not far from Ding Huan.

"Fellow Daoist, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen for it again just now."

Sword Heaven cupped his fists at Ding Huan; only now did he understand what Ding Huan meant by saying he could help block any unexpected situations.

It turned out there really was an unexpected situation.

He pursued the Sword Dao all his life.

He paid no attention to all kinds of great arrays, Source Principle planes, and the like.

In his eyes, as long as the sword was strong enough, everything could be cut down.

Perhaps his Great Dao philosophy was not wrong.

But alas, his Sword Dao was not strong enough.

At least in the eyes of the One Yuan Three Dao, his Sword Dao seemed to be just that.

After this event, Sword Heaven decided to spend some time researching Source Principle planes and various Killing Arrays.

Ding Huan cupped his fists: "I am Ding Huan. I heard Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven say you came here to retrieve your vast Sword Principle?"

Although Ding Huan took his vast Primordial Sword Technique, Sword Heaven had a good impression of him.

After all, Ding Huan truly saved him.

So, faced with Ding Huan's question, Sword Heaven did not intend to hide: "Back during the Five Ancestors Conference, Wu Dao suddenly intervened.

He brought Tidor to find me and said he hoped Tidor could follow me to cultivate the Sword Dao. Moreover, he gave me a vast Sword Vein and promised to speak on my behalf.

I then temporarily stored that vast Sword Principle with Tidor to avoid any mishaps."

"Sword Vein?"

It was indeed the first time Ding Huan heard of a Sword Vein.

Sword Heaven explained: "It's normal you don't know about Sword Veins. At the vast inception, not only did various Cosmic Yuan Veins accompany it, but also vast Primordial Veins, and very few Killing Yuan Veins.

Among them were vast Blade Veins, Sword Veins, Gun Veins, Killing Veins, Life and Death Veins...

These Primordial Qi Veins are extremely precious and are basically unlikely to remain for posterity, meaning that aside from those who accompanied the vast inception, others can't see or obtain them.

Not just you, I've only seen one Killing Vein. After that, just ordinary vast Primordial Veins and some Five Elements Attribute Primordial Veins."

Ding Huan remained silent.

He had never seen the Vast Origin Veins, but he had encountered Five Elements Attribute Qi Veins before.

However, those were all low-level Dao Veins, and as for Origin Veins, he possessed various Cosmic Origin Veins the most.

As for the source of the vast energy he used for cultivation, the most he acquired were the Vast Energy River and the Vast Origin Vein Mountain.

Ding Huan smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems my luck isn't too bad, obtaining a Vast Origin Vein River from a piece of Void Algae. Yes, I also obtained a Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain before..."

This time it was Jian Tian's turn to fall silent.

After a moment, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Ding Huan, if you have the chance, try not to cultivate with the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain.

The Vast Origin Vein River isn't bad, but it lacks structure and doesn't contain the vast primordial mysteries, it can enhance cultivation but doesn't help understand the Great Dao.

If you can acquire the Vast Origin Veins, it's best to use those. If not, you can reluctantly use the Vast Origin Vein River...

But to make progress in the Great Dao, aside from the vast primordial energy, other energies won't help much."

"Please enlighten me." Ding Huan genuinely didn't understand these intricacies.

He only knew that using the Vast Origin Vein River truly couldn't help him step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Jian Tian explained, "The Cosmic Origin Vein is condensed after being stained with the Cosmic Origin Principle and the Law of All Things, not pure vast energy.

Though the Cosmic Yuan Vein Mountain absorbs more effectively than the Cosmic Origin Vein, it still loses the primordial energy, and after cultivating to the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, it's of little use.

The Vast Origin Vein River contains vast energy, but the mottled source principles are too many, making it unsuitable for understanding vast mysteries.

The Vast Origin Veins are very suitable for breaking through the Ninth Step of the Great Dao, but unfortunately, they have long been completely collected by others, and if I'm not mistaken, you might not be able to get even one.

The Vast Origin Vein Lake and Vast Origin Vein River formed after the vast origin veins scattered, thus their effects are inferior to the Vast Origin Veins."

Ding Huan felt deeply moved.

The vision of a poor person indeed only focuses on the immediate.

He was just a poor person; Jian Tian's words opened up his perspective greatly.

The Vast Origin Vein River he had been desperately pursuing was, in Jian Tian's eyes, merely a byproduct of the vast origin veins scattering, and Jian Tian clearly said that the river wasn't suitable for advancing in the Great Dao.

"Mr. Ding, your Great Dao is impressive, but your Dao body is very weak. You're not a vast lifeform, so being able to cultivate to this degree is extraordinary.

You came here probably because you already knew about your weakness, hoping to go beyond the Ninth Stratum to perfect your Dao body and Great Dao, right?"

Hearing this, Ding Huan realized today might indeed be his opportunity.

He quickly cupped his fists, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, I am indeed stuck at the Eighth Step of the Great Dao, and I'm crossing the vast domains to enter beyond the Ninth Stratum to perfect my Dao and Dao body, and see if I can gain opportunities."

Jian Tian nodded, "Your idea is correct, but your goal is nearly impossible to fulfill.

Beyond the Ninth Stratum is a place Wu Dao has long coveted, prepared to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao; how could he allow anyone else to take it?

Anyone trying to go beyond the Ninth Stratum would be making a mortal enemy of Wu Dao.

Moreover, even if you find a way there, without using the vast Sword Dao to tear through the barrier, you'd only be staring in vain."

Ding Huan quickly bowed, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, I wish to learn your vast Primordial Sword Technique; would this be offensive to you?"

Jian Tian waved his hand, "Learning my vast Primordial Sword Technique would be pointless for you because even if you master it, you cannot break open the Ninth Barrier.

There's only one person who can break it open, and that's me. I came here to help Wu Dao break the Ninth Barrier and then take the vast Sword Principle from him."

Ding Huan frowned, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, why did Wu Dao simply trap you here after luring you?"

Jian Tian shook his head, not knowing why.

"You mentioned earlier that Wu Dao was willing to intercede on your behalf; what does that mean? Did you offend someone?"

Jian Tian nodded, "There's nothing to hide; the one I offended was Chi Zhou, and it was all because of that one vast Sword Principle.

I cultivate Sword Dao; the vast Sword Principle is like my lifeblood. So after obtaining it, I didn't give it away."

Ding Huan inquired puzzled, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, since the vast Sword Principle was yours, why should you give it away?"

"Because back then, Chi Zhou openly asked for it, saying he'd agree to any condition if I handed over the principle."

Ding Huan asked, "Can you tell me more about the situation?"

Jian Tian didn't hide it, "That was a long time ago when the vastness first divided, and treasures beneath the vastness were plentiful.

All the vast Dao Spirits were vying for various treasures, and I gave up everything else for that one Sword Principle."

At this point, Jian Tian's tone turned cold, "What Chi Zhou gained was far more than me by thousands of times, yet he still asked me for the principle."

Ding Huan found it strange, "Isn't Chi Zhou someone who doesn't listen to reason? If he were to take your vast Sword Principle by force, could you keep it?"

Jian Tian shook his head, "I couldn't keep it; at that time, it was Wu Dao who stepped up to help me fend off Chi Zhou. But Chi Zhou didn't let it go.

Knowing I couldn't safeguard the principle, Wu Dao suggested that I openly give it to Tidor, and then he'd secretly have Tidor return it to me."

Ding Huan chuckled, "Isn't that like feeding buns to a dog?"

Jian Tian was momentarily stunned before quickly understanding, "Indeed, Wu Dao didn't return that vast Sword Principle to me, or I wouldn't be here."

Ding Huan added, "Is Wu Dao avoiding going beyond the Ninth Stratum because if he does, Chi Zhou and Ye Sha will follow?"

Jian Tian nodded, "That is precisely the case. If Chi Zhou and Ye Sha also enter beyond the Ninth Stratum, Wu Dao wouldn't be able to meditate in peace."

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
