Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1183 - 1176: Sword Heaven Joins

"Since that's the case, Wu Dao hasn't come to find you now, can we understand it as Wu Dao not being beyond the Nine Boundaries?"

Sword Heaven is wholeheartedly devoted to the sword, and even coming here is for the Hao Han Sword Zen.

It's not that he's particularly dull, but he doesn't like to think in roundabout ways.

Most of the time, anything that affects his Sword Dao or requires him to think hard can be solved with a single sword strike.

If one sword doesn't solve it, then two swords will.

Now that Ding Huan has spoken so plainly, Sword Heaven understands it too. He frowned and asked, "You mean Wu Dao doesn't kill Chi Zhou and Ye Sha because he doesn't dare to comprehend the Great Dao beyond the Nine Boundaries?"

Ding Huan chuckled, "Chi Zhou and Ye Sha are also people of the Three Ways, Wu Dao's wish to kill Ye Sha and Chi Zhou might not be such an easy task, right?

Moreover, isn't it said that under the Great Rule Net, the Three Ways are undying?

So I guess Wu Dao went out to find Ye Sha and Chi Zhou. He should have tried to trap those two somewhere so they wouldn't affect his Dao comprehension beyond the Nine Boundaries."

Ding Huan left one thing unsaid.

Wu Dao is one of the Three Ways, just like Ye Sha and Chi Zhou.

Wu Dao guarding beyond the Nine Boundaries is almost as blatant as Sima Zhao's intentions; everyone knows it.

Therefore, Wu Dao's plan to plot against Ye Sha and Chi Zhou won't be an easy task.

No news of Wu Dao for millions of years means one thing, Wu Dao might have encountered some trouble.

At this moment, going beyond the Nine Boundaries is simply the best opportunity.

In fact, once Wu Dao returns, it'll be almost impossible to find another period when no one is guarding beyond the Nine Boundaries.

"Does this mean my attempt to find Wu Dao was in vain?" Sword Heaven seemed to be talking to himself.

Ding Huan explained, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, you cultivate the Sword Dao. It's really not suitable to engage in mental duels with someone like Wu Dao.

You should be thankful Wu Dao isn't beyond the Nine Boundaries now. If he was, you might be in danger.

I am sure that after Wu Dao uses you, you not only wouldn't reclaim the Hao Han Sword Zen, but you might even become a stepping stone on Wu Dao's path."

There was a hint of desolation in Sword Heaven's eyes.

The Hao Han Sword Zen is crucial to his Sword Dao in his heart.

Ding Huan knows someone like Sword Heaven, born surrounded by the source of the Great Dao, never lacks cultivation resources. This has both advantages and disadvantages.

If he passes Sword Heaven's Sword Dao onto Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan's Dao physique reaches another level, Ye Xuan's future achievements in Sword Dao would certainly surpass Sword Heaven's.

"Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, Hao Han Sword Zen is indeed very important. But however powerful the Hao Han Sword Zen is, it was forged when the cosmos was first opened.

If one day your Great Dao succeeds and you even understand the initial mysteries of the cosmos, you might forge your own Hao Han Sword Zen.

Think about it, which is more valuable: your self-forged Hao Han Sword Zen or the one scavenged from external sources?"

Ding Huan could afford to speak with ease.

If Hao Han Sword Zen was that easy to forge, why would he come beyond the Nine Boundaries looking for the Origin Dao to advance to the ninth step of the Great Dao?

If his own Great Dao was perfected, couldn't he directly forge his own Hao Han Origin Dao?

Sword Heaven was listening.

Because he thought Ding Huan's words made sense.

It's rumored that Yi Yuan condensed various cosmic principles from his own Great Dao to step beyond the Great Dao.

Seeing Sword Heaven captured by his words, Ding Huan pushed forward, "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, I'm going beyond the Nine Boundaries this time with two friends; why don't you join us?

Who says the Three Ways must be Wu Dao, Chi Zhou, and Ye Sha? Why can't others be one of the Three Ways? Besides, I also have the Great Rule Net you mentioned."

With that, Ding Huan raised his hand and summoned the Great Rule Net, which he'd seized from Di Xin.

"Oh, is this the Ninth Principle?"

Sword Heaven exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, many of Ding Huan's words he didn't bother to refute.

What Three Ways undying? What, why can't others be one of the Three Ways?

In his heart, how much nobler are the Three Ways compared to him?

Ding Huan was also puzzled, "What does the Ninth Principle mean?"

Sword Heaven explained, "The Great Rule Net consists of nine principles, from the First Principle to the Ninth Principle. This is the Ninth Principle. I heard this net was in Di Xin's hands. How did you get it?"

Looking at the Great Rule Net in his hand, Ding Huan realized it was actually a complete set of magical treasures, much like his Great Dao Disk.

"Can I use my Great Rule Net to enter beyond the Nine Boundaries?"

This was the question Ding Huan was most concerned about; he completely disregarded everything else.

Sword Heaven nodded, "With my Hao Han Origin Sword Dao to complement it, you can definitely enter beyond the Nine Boundaries, although your net may be rendered useless."

Ding Huan laughed heartily, "I don't care about this net."

Of course, Ding Huan didn't care about the net, after all, it was obtained from Di Xin.

Ding Huan took out even the Ninth Principle of the Great Rule Net.

Based on Sword Heaven's desire to see if he could elevate his Great Dao beyond the Nine Boundaries and forge his own Hao Han Sword Zen.

He simply agreed to Ding Huan's proposal and decided to accompany him beyond the Nine Boundaries.

As one of the Five Progenitors of the cosmos, Sword Heaven has no friends because no one can speak his language.

Even though Wu Dao could deceive him, it was because of the Hao Han Sword Zen.

From deep within, he also looked down on Wu Dao.

If one could gain Sword Heaven's recognition, Sword Heaven would certainly not keep his Sword Dao to himself.

Ding Huan doesn't cultivate the Sword Dao, but he practices the Great Universe Technique. As long as it involves the cosmic Source Principle, Ding Huan's understanding is rather exceptional.

He and Sword Heaven traveled together, not solely to learn Sword Heaven's vast Sword Dao.

When discussing Dao philosophy, Ding Huan's understanding is often not far behind Sword Heaven's.

Some of the profound Dao truths that Sword Heaven struggles to comprehend, Ding Huan can provide perfect answers.

This made Sword Heaven increasingly appreciate Ding Huan, to the point where he wholeheartedly imparted the vast Sword Dao without holding back.

When Sword Heaven was saved by Ding Huan, his strength was still weak.

In just a few years, Sword Heaven's strength had recovered considerably.

Compared to Ding Huan, Sword Heaven's power was more than ten times greater.

Furthermore, Sword Heaven's knowledge of the Ninefold Vastness far surpassed Ding Huan's.

Under Sword Heaven's guidance, they traversed the vast Ninefold Vastness in less than a century, entering the Ninefold Vastness Desert.

In the Ninefold Vastness, the most dangerous place is not the great lake or the Ninefold Vastness Fire Mist area, but the Ninefold Vastness Desert.

"Ding Huan, you said you have two other friends who came together with you, right?"

Standing outside the Ninefold Vastness Desert, Sword Heaven did not enter immediately; instead, he asked an unrelated question.

If it was before knowing Ding Huan or when he first met him, Sword Heaven would never have asked such a question.

To Sword Heaven, if it's not related to the sword, the fewer matters the better.

Let's not talk about matters; even words unrelated to the sword should be reduced whenever possible.

"Yes, they should still be behind us. We agreed to meet once out of the Ninefold Vastness," Ding Huan had already mentioned Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu to Sword Heaven.

After all, when entering outside the Ninefold, he had to wait for Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji.

"Then let's wait for them here, as otherwise, entering the Ninefold Vastness Desert almost certainly leads to death."

Sword Heaven spoke as if it were an ordinary topic, but Ding Huan was stunned:

"Brother Sword Heaven, is the Ninefold Vastness Desert really so terrifying?"

Along the way, Sword Heaven had witnessed his strength; in Sword Heaven's eyes, Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji were similar to him.

Thus, Ding Huan did not doubt Sword Heaven's words.

Sword Heaven nodded: "Yes, without a vast Dao Spirit to guide the way, there's no way to survive the Ninefold Vastness Desert. I was born with the vastness, and I'm one of the vast Dao Spirits."

Ding Huan increasingly felt that beneath the vastness was quite unfriendly to cultivators not belonging to the vast Dao Spirits.

"You don't need to worry; just send out a message here. Before they enter the Ninefold Vastness Desert, they should see it."

Though Sword Heaven made it sound easy, Ding Huan set up a Space Origin Realm just to ensure Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu could find his message.

Because he traveled faster with Sword Heaven.

After waiting with Sword Heaven for several decades, Ding Huan finally received Mo Wuji's message.

Though still within the Ninefold Vastness, when Mo Wuji and Ding Huan met again, it was as if a lifetime had passed.

"Ding Huan, I didn't expect we'd meet even before leaving the Ninefold Vastness." When Mo Wuji arrived, his hair and clothes were in disarray, and his aura was somewhat chaotic.

Before entering the Ninefold Vastness, they didn't realize; after entering, they knew how terrifying the Ninefold Vastness was.

Their strength outside the First Universe was already at the cosmic pinnacle. Yet here, they might not even be able to traverse the Ninefold Vastness.

No wonder Wu Dao wasn't worried about anyone entering beyond the Ninefold.

Ordinary people really can't get in.

"Wu Ji, this is Sword Heaven."

Seeing Mo Wuji filled Ding Huan with joy, he immediately introduced Sword Heaven to Mo Wuji.

"One of the Five Ancestors?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise, looking at Sword Heaven.

He knew far more about the Five Ancestors than Ding Huan.

He understood that Sword Heaven was known to be the most unapproachable among the Five Ancestors.

Unexpectedly, it seemed Sword Heaven and Ding Huan had a good relationship.

Soon he found Sword Heaven easy to talk to, contrary to his reputation of being difficult.

After the introductions, they began discussing Dao, while waiting for Lan Xiaobu.

Sword Heaven was amazed to discover Mo Wuji's Dao was no less than Ding Huan's.

With Mo Wuji, he gained a lot.

"Mr. Mo, your Mortal Dao is bound to have significant gains outside the Ninefold, and your achievements might even surpass mine when you leave…"

Sword Heaven never hid his thoughts, saying whatever he felt.

After discussing Dao with Sword Heaven, Mo Wuji understood his nature, knowing he wasn't a devious man.

So he frankly said, "Brother Sword Heaven, our discussions suggest that beyond the Ninefold and the Eightfold Expanse Canyon might be key to taking the ninth step of the Dao.

Just the area outside the Ninefold may not bring qualitative changes to our Dao. Therefore, we plan to first go beyond the Ninefold, then to the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

After leaving the Ninefold, it would be great if Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven joined us in the Eightfold Expanse Canyon."

Sword Heaven shook his head, "I could join you in the Eightfold Expanse Canyon, but under the vastness, only one person can take the ninth step of the Dao.

Three Dao cannot, nor can the Five Ancestors."

Ding Huan immediately grasped Sword Heaven's meaning, "Brother Sword Heaven, you mean the Three Dao is still at the ninth step of the Dao?"

"Yes," Sword Heaven replied bluntly.

"Then why do they possess the Undying Body?"

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
