Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1188 - 1181: Beyond the Ninth Stratum

Zuo Shanyi and Ding Huan have been enemies for quite a while. Ding Huan knows him well, and he knows Ding Huan just as well.

Therefore, when he made a move, he was prepared for Ding Huan's ambush.

Perhaps the attacker wouldn't be Ding Huan, but surely one of Mo Wuji or Lan Xiaobu.

Because of knowing Ding Huan, while attacking Ding Huan, he was already prepared with a defense treasure.

The defense treasure he prepared was a cicada wing, a defense treasure infinitely close to a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

The greatest ability of this Chaos Cicada Wing is not defense, but stealth.

After Zuo Shanyi refined this Chaos Cicada Wing and attached it around himself, even Ji Yijian could not see it.

In Zuo Shanyi's view, no matter who ambushed him, his Chaos Cicada Wing could help him block the attack.

As long as it can block one strike, even if the Chaos Cicada Wing is destroyed, it doesn't matter. At least he can block Ding Huan and others from entering beyond the Ninefold Barrier.

But when Mo Wuji made his move, the aura of death locked onto his Heart Soul.

Zuo Shanyi's heart throbbed, he had a premonition that if he didn't leave, he would absolutely not escape during Mo Wuji's ambush.

Even with the protection of the Chaos Cicada Wing, he would perish here.

Zuo Shanyi has always been a person who cherishes life.

Insults, ridicule, or whatever he can take, but he cannot risk his life.

As long as his life is intact, he would repay any insult against him tenfold or a hundredfold.

But now Mo Wuji's ambush actually threatened his very life, no matter how much Zuo Shanyi craved to cross beyond the Ninefold Barrier, he didn't dare to gamble.

Zuo Shanyi trusted his instincts; his instincts had saved him multiple times.

Almost instantaneously, he activated the Vast Teleportation Talisman.

Boom!

The space where Zuo Shanyi stood directly collapsed under Mo Wuji's ambush, and the Origin Principles of this space were torn into fragments.

Zuo Shanyi's body was also ripped into infinite pieces along with the shattered space Origin Principles under Mo Wuji's ambush.

Ding Huan and others knew that Mo Wuji's ambush had failed.

Just now, it was only Zuo Shanyi's figure that was shattered; Zuo Shanyi himself had used the Vast Teleportation Talisman to escape in that instant.

"Good technique." Even Ji Yijian couldn't help but murmur in admiration.

He praised not Zuo Shanyi, but Mo Wuji's technique.

Anyone with a Vast Teleportation Talisman could escape timely like Zuo Shanyi.

But now wasn't the time to talk, his figure flickered, rushing into the Ninefold Barrier.

Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu followed suit.

As they rushed beyond the Ninefold Barrier, the first Tao Network Rule shattered instantly.

The Ninefold Barrier was once again restored, but it couldn't affect Ding Huan and the others.

"Wuji, good technique." Once Lan Xiaobu rushed beyond the Ninefold Barrier, he immediately couldn't help praising.

Ding Huan was also full of admiration; Mo Wuji's ambush couldn't be defended against.

If Zuo Shanyi hadn't possessed a Vast Teleportation Talisman, he would have already been finished.

Mo Wuji chuckled, "Although the guy escaped, he no longer has a chance to enter beyond the Ninefold Barrier again, this place is indeed impressive."

The divine skill he used was a space-collapsing technique; not to mention Zuo Shanyi, even Ji Yijian would have been peeled off alive under his ambush.

If it was said that Ding Huan had the deepest knowledge of manipulating the Cosmic Origin Principles.

Then Mo Wuji could portray the origins of the Cosmic Origin Principles step by step.

All profound Cosmic Origin Principles, even if within a top-tier universe, are fundamentally rooted in ordinary Cosmic Origin Principles.

And Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao.

"Indeed, it is the vast origin record territory..."

Ji Yijian looked at the gray expanse before him and couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu didn't sense anything specific.

Upon entering, they only felt the Origin Principles here were much purer, devoid of the mottled exterior.

The vast primordial energy seemed to appear no different.

Now upon hearing Ji Yijian's sigh, they began to notice the differences.

Everywhere their Divine Will reached, it was enveloped in gray mist.

Under their Divine Will, the misty space was filled with myriad vast Origin Principle clusters.

These were the initial Origin Principles at the vast beginning, each principle containing the long journey of vast formation, evolution, perfection, eventually transforming into a cosmic world.

Mo Wuji sighed, "No wonder those not accompanied by the vast beginning Dao Spirit stand little chance of stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Path.

Even the most talented likely cannot restore the complete process of the vast beginning. Without the ability to evolve and restore the complete process of the vast beginning, how can one step into the Ninth Step of the Great Path?

It's clear, the Ninth Step of the Great Path is merely the initial step into the vast Great Dao, the origin at the pinnacle of vastness."

Lan Xiaobu nodded, "No wonder one must first enter beyond the Ninefold Barrier before proceeding to Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

Beyond the Ninefold Barrier possesses the cosmic source principles from the vast beginning; only by perfecting the vast Great Dao can one venture to Eightfold Expanse Canyon for further perfection of their vast cosmic world."

Ding Huan nodded in agreement.

If one doesn't complete their vast Great Dao here, entering Eightfold Expanse Canyon would only lead to their Dao Body being torn apart by various Origin Principles of maladies and trash, without a chance to perfect their own vast cosmic world.

Without perfecting one's vast cosmic world, the Ninth Step of the Great Path would be mere dreaming.

Experiencing the vast initial process here ensures they can build their own complete vast Origin Principle cosmic world, then proceed to Eightfold Expanse Canyon to continue perfecting their cosmic Origin Principles, thereby stepping into the Ninth Step of the Great Path.

Sword Heaven looked at Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji with astonishment.

He knew that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were not ordinary cultivators.

With just a few words earlier, he understood that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu's comprehension of the Tao Universe World was likely deeper than his own.

Because he was improving the Tao Universe World.

Mo Wuji, Lan Xiaobu, and Ding Huan were preparing to first perfect the vast Great Dao before perfecting the vast Universe World.

It was certain that once they left here, as long as they could enter the location of the Eightfold Expanse Canyon.

No matter if it was Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, or Lan Xiaobu, they would definitely prove the most perfect Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

This Ninth Step will surpass the Three Daos, not to mention their Boundless Five Ancestors.

In the future, beneath this boundlessness, will there appear three other individuals that can rival Yi Yuan?

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly find our own area to comprehend our respective Great Dao. It's best if we can enter the Eightfold Expanse Canyon before Wu Dao returns."

Lan Xiaobu was in an exceptionally good mood.

Ding Huan sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid Wu Dao will find out that we came in early, Shi Keling specializes in harming others while benefiting none.

He wasn't able to enter outside the Nine Glades, he will definitely find a way to pass this message to Wu Dao."

"No matter what, let's first increase our strength." Mo Wuji finished speaking and chose a direction, quickly leaving.

Lan Xiaobu also chose a direction, saying before leaving, "Ding Huan, we must accelerate our pace to step into the Ninth Step."

This was to remind Ding Huan that if he didn't enter the Ninth Step, once he went out he would still be an ant.

"Brother Sword Heaven, I also need to find a place to perfect my vast Great Dao, and you should seize the time to refine your vast Sword Principle.

I suspect that once we're out, Wu Dao will come after you too."

Ding Huan cupped his fists towards Sword Heaven.

Sword Heaven nodded, without Ding Huan saying, he also knew that Wu Dao would not let him go.

When Wu Dao had shoved Tidor onto him as a disciple, he started plotting against him.

Now that he escaped Wu Dao's schemes, and actually entered beyond the Nine Glades which Wu Dao considered his backyard, Wu Dao letting him go would be bizarre indeed.

...

Outside the Nine Glades, there are groups of vast initial Source Principles everywhere. Perfecting one's vast Great Dao here feels like witnessing the scenario of the vast first division firsthand.

When Ding Huan found the first group of Source Principles and started perfecting the Great Universe Technique, he felt that there was vast initial mist here.

In these groups of Source Principles, all details of the vast first division time are recorded.

The vast initial mist is similarly a product accompanying the vast first division.

If he hadn't understood the vast initial mist before, Ding Huan definitely wouldn't care.

Outside the Nine Glades was generated along with the vast first division and then sealed.

It preserves the most primitive state of the vast first division, some treasures here are naturally too normal.

After comprehending the vast initial Source Principles here, understanding what the vast initial mist is, Ding Huan no longer thought this way.

The vast initial mist is the origin of forming the vast Dao Body.

Which means the people like Si Wu and Ji Yijian, who long for the vast Origin Spirit, essentially are formed from the vast initial mist.

This means that as long as he finds enough vast initial mist outside the Nine Glades, he would not need to devour the vast Dao Spirit like Si Wu to form a perfect Dao Spirit Body.

Based on the information he acquired from these Source Principles, there isn't just vast initial mist here, there's a lot.

Should he go looking for the vast initial mist now?

If he finds enough vast initial mist, then when he absorbs vast Primordial Energy, he definitely wouldn't need to construct the Void Dao Network as before.

He could absorb limitless vast Primordial Energy at any time, and then transform this vast Primordial Energy into his own Great Dao power.

With benefits right before him, Ding Huan still made himself calm down.

In just a few breaths, Ding Huan made his decision.

He wouldn't specially go to find vast initial mist.

What was his purpose of entering beyond the Nine Glades?

It was to leverage the vast initial Source Principles beyond the Nine Glades to step into the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

This leverage is not fully comprehending the vast Source Principles here.

If he fully comprehends the vast Source Principles here and perfects the Dao Body with vast initial mist, then what's different from the Dao Spirit here?

In such circumstances, at most he can only reach the Yi Yuan level.

Moreover, he can be certain, he can't reach the Yi Yuan level; the greatest possibility is augmenting the Three Dao team.

His true goal is to understand how boundlessness originates, how it evolves into infinite Cosmic Worlds?

Also, for why the Cosmic Worlds evolved by boundlessness have high and low levels?

After understanding these, he can perfect his Great Universe Technique.

Then, using his Great Universe Technique to construct his own vast Great Dao.

As long as he perfects his vast Great Dao, he can evolve his own vast Source Principles and continue to perfect his vast Cosmic World.

By then, no matter how much vast Primordial Energy there is, he can still absorb it.

As for the vast initial mist here, he can completely use it to refine his flesh body.

Dao Body and flesh body are different.

Dao Body encompasses one's Daoist Rhythm and flesh body, flesh body merely refers to one's physical form.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
