Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1190 - 1183: Massive Gains

A millennium later, even the smallest cultivators in the seemingly insignificant Shifang Universe City of the First Universe know one thing.

Beyond the Nine Gradii is the true entrance to Hao Han's ninth step, the only preserved complete Origin Witness beneath Hao Han.

Beyond the Nine Gradii, there are not only complete Hao Han resources preserved since the initial division of Hao Han, but also all kinds of Source Principles from the initial division of Hao Han.

As long as one can enter beyond the Nine Gradii, there is a chance to step into Hao Han's ninth step while obtaining supreme Hao Han resources.

The most important thing is, beyond the Nine Gradii is not the domain of Wu Dao, as previously rumored incorrectly.

And the place to enter beyond the Nine Gradii is the Void Storm Space within the Nine Gradii vastness.

The conditions for entering require using the Hao Han Origin Sword Dao to tear apart the Nine Gradii barrier, then using the Great Net to block the tearing Source Principles that overflow beyond the Nine Gradii.

So far, four people have entered beyond the Nine Gradii; they are Sword Heaven, one of Hao Han's Five Ancestors, and several outsider ants, namely Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu.

If others don't hurry, in just tens of thousands of years, everything beyond the Nine Gradii will be plundered by these individuals.

For ordinary cultivators, this is just something to be heard and forgotten.

However, for some Realm Lords of the First Universe, it is a matter concerning their own Great Dao, causing each of them to lose interest in continuing their secluded cultivation and enlightenment of the supreme Great Dao.

Each of them is considering visiting the Nine Gradii vastness to see if it is truly as said.

Previously, they dared not go because beyond the Nine Gradii was one of the domains of the three paths, Wu Dao.

Now that it has been confirmed to have nothing to do with Wu Dao, it is a land without a master, naturally open for anyone to visit.

The First Realm Lord Mo Yuantian, the Third Realm Lord Qu Ba, the Fourth Realm Lord Kui Feng, and Bu Shi were the first to rush towards the Nine Gradii vastness.

Even the Seventh Realm Lord Zuo Yang couldn't resist heading to the Nine Gradii vastness.

Only the Fifth Realm Lord Shang, upon hearing the news, chose to leave the First Universe instead of heading to the Nine Gradii vastness.

When Qi Qitang heard the news, he was escorting Ji Yijian around, searching for Ding Huan's whereabouts.

Upon hearing that Ding Huan had already entered beyond the Nine Gradii and used the Great Net, his murderous intent could no longer be contained.

So what if it's Sword Heaven?

Originally, everyone agreed not to interfere with each other's affairs; Sword Heaven dared to bring people into beyond the Nine Gradii, thus violating the accord between Hao Han's Dao Spirits.

"Ji Yijian, once we enter the Nine Gradii vastness, you best demonstrate your usefulness. Otherwise, I have no place for living waste here."

Qi Qitang gazed at Ji Yijian, his tone even-paced, yet Ji Yijian listened with his heart trembling in fear.

What is this about?

He and Ding Huan had merely met by chance, gained no benefits in dealings, and now his life was constantly threatened.

Besides the various Realm Lords of the First Universe and Hao Han's Five Ancestors who heard the news, there was a group of powerful figures hidden in various corners of Hao Han.

No one showed up before a benefit was apparent.

Once benefits appeared, these figures all flocked towards the Nine Gradii vastness.

Hao Han is about to change, and anyone with cultivation reaching a certain level can sense it. At this moment, failing to take a step further would truly leave one as mere cannon fodder in the future.

Zuo Shanyi most wanted Wu Dao to know this news, yet among those headed to the Nine Gradii vastness, Wu Dao was surprisingly absent.

Not only was Wu Dao absent, but the other two of the three paths were equally absent.

...

For seventy thousand years, Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu wandered amidst the various Hao Han initial Source Principle clusters beyond the Nine Gradii.

Until all the Source Principle clusters from the initial division of Hao Han were completely exhausted.

Ding Huan had accrued a total of 110,000 Hao Han Primordial Vein, 137 drops of Hao Han initial dew.

Besides this, there was a pile of various Hao Han Origin materials, some even already formed into Magical Treasures.

These Hao Han initial materials were enveloped within the Hao Han initial Source Principle clusters, not revealing themselves until the entire cluster was thoroughly depleted.

If he wished, Ding Huan believed he could now completely perfect his Tao Universe World and then step into the Great Dao ninth step,

but he thought it best to visit the Eightfold Expanse Canyon once more.

The ninth step of the Great Dao differs entirely from another ninth step of the Great Dao.

From Shen Dai to Mo Yuantian, from Mo Yuantian to Di Xin, from Di Xin to Sword Heaven, from Sword Heaven to Wu Dao...

These all represent the ninth step of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan's Divine Will swept out, immediately spotting Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu also ceased their enlightenment, engrossed in conversation with Sword Heaven.

Ding Huan hurried over instantly.

When they first entered beyond the Nine Gradii, their Divine Will could only reach the location of the first Hao Han initial Source Principle cluster.

As they refined and comprehended more and more Hao Han initial Source Principle clusters, their Divine Will coverage expanded.

Now that they had taken away all the Hao Han initial Source Principle clusters beyond the Nine Gradii, all that was left was a gray, hazy void.

Once the Nine Gradii barrier is completely shattered in the future, this area will entirely transform into an ordinary Cosmic Void.

"Ding Huan, it seems your harvest is substantial too." Seeing Ding Huan approach, Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily, evidently in good spirits.

"Congratulations to the three of you for gaining richly this time. If you visit the Eightfold Expanse Canyon again, you should be able to step into Hao Han's Great Dao ninth step."

Sword Heaven congratulated.

The trio of Ding Huan knew that if Sword Heaven intended to seize the Hao Han Primordial Vein, their harvest wouldn't be nearly as large.

If the Hao Han Primordial Vein was randomly extracted, the Hao Han initial Source Principle cluster here would be utterly damaged.

If the Hao Han initial Source Principle were destroyed, the trio's attempt to comprehend how Hao Han formed and the process of the Cosmic World during Hao Han's initial division would almost be impossible.

Because of Sword Heaven's adherence to rules.

Now the three of them are equivalent to having one foot in the ninth step of the Great Dao.

"Brother Sword Heaven, thank you. Not only did you bring us beyond the Nine Territories, but you also made the area beyond the Nine Territories our place of insight.

This kindness from Brother Sword Heaven, I, Ding Huan, will remember. If ever you need me in the future, I, Ding Huan, will surely give my utmost effort."

Ding Huan bowed, sincerely thanking Sword Heaven,

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu both smiled simultaneously; they felt the same.

Before Ding Huan came over, they had already expressed their attitude toward Sword Heaven.

Sword Heaven replied hurriedly, "I have gained quite a lot of vast primordial veins here, more than I need.

Thank you, three friends, for valuing me, Sword Heaven. If ever there's a need for me in the future, I will not hesitate to draw my sword."

To Sword Heaven, aside from his sword, nothing else matters.

He was always cultivating this way and handling affairs this way.

Therefore, he had no friends.

But after Ding Huan saved him, he befriended Ding Huan, and later, through Ding Huan, he got to know Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

His daily life seemed to have changed.

Initially, he merely thought he knew three potential rising stars with limitless potential.

Later, he felt that the three might surpass the Three Daos.

Sword Heaven did not have much emotion, yet he would not destroy others' Great Dao.

Because if someone destroyed his Great Dao, he would surely kill them.

Unexpectedly, his actions earned the genuine friendship of Ding Huan and the others.

A feeling he had never experienced surged in his heart, making Sword Heaven suddenly feel a sense of urgency. He needed to begin creating his own vast sword principle immediately.

Ding Huan and the others were self-creators of the Great Dao, even with one foot in the vast ninth step.

They first sensed Sword Heaven's change.

"Brother Sword Heaven, how did your previous condensation of the vast sword principle go?" Ding Huan asked immediately.

Sword Heaven's voice was slightly excited, "Previously, I always felt something was missing when condensing the vast sword principle. After gaining the friendship of you three, I seem to have realized something.

I am confident that if I attempt to condense the vast sword principle now, I will surely succeed."

Ding Huan was filled with emotion as well. The three of them were here to perceive the universe's formation process, essentially closed-door cultivation.

While Sword Heaven's condensation of the vast sword principle, such a tedious affair, was persevered for tens of thousands of years.

The key point is that Sword Heaven even failed in his condensation.

This cultivation endurance was far beyond his own strength.

Mo Wuji immediately understood Sword Heaven's situation, "Brother Sword Heaven, you have likely never cultivated the Mortal Dao. So, you have always been unable to condense the vast sword principle."

"Mortal Dao?" Sword Heaven looked puzzled at Mo Wuji?

Mo Wuji smiled, "The Mortal Dao is the mortal world, birth, aging, sickness, death, family love, friendship..."

Mo Wuji cultivated the Mortal Dao; his Mortal Dao began from the Human Dao.

Sword Heaven suddenly realized, "I understand."

He gained the friendship of Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu and regarded them as his own friends.

On his Great Dao path, it was a trivial thing.

This trivial matter, however, perfected his missing Great Dao, allowing his Dao Heart to progress further.

Lan Xiaobu spoke up, "This place might not be suitable for a long stay."

Sword Heaven hurriedly said:

"We must leave here immediately. The vast primordial veins have been drawn by us, and there's no longer the initial vast Source Principle.

Soon, the Nine Territories barrier will completely collapse. Once it does, there is no telling how many people will come."

"How do we leave?" Ding Huan asked, looking at Sword Heaven with Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

Sword Heaven surely knows this place better than they do.

To leave here, they must follow Sword Heaven's guidance.

Sword Heaven shook his head, "I don't know either, but if Zuo Shanyi were here, he could surely leave."

"That sneaky guy, this fellow is indeed cunning," Lan Xiaobu realized and couldn't help but curse.

Zuo Shanyi is not here now.

It's certain that the news of them entering beyond the Nine Territories was leaked by this guy.

Now countless people are rushing here.

Once a powerful person enters the current realm beyond the Nine Territories, there really is no place for them to escape.

Zuo Shanyi might have calculated this long ago.

Because Zuo Shanyi has the vast teleportation talisman, he can leave here anytime.

Thankfully, they chased this guy away; otherwise, they would have ended up drinking Zuo Shanyi's foot-washing water.

"I have a way," Mo Wuji said.

(Goodnight, fellow Taoists!)
