Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1231 - 1224: The Ninth Piece of the Star Map

Ding Huan's cultivation had already reached the ninth step of the Great Dao, and his Cosmic Pot had also been elevated to the level of Chaos Treasure.

Even when Ding Huan's cultivation was at the eighth step, there was almost no one who could stop his Cosmic Pot.

Today, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot was actually intercepted.

With the speed of the Cosmic Pot, augmented by Ding Huan's cultivation, one would require at least the level of Wu Dao to intercept it.

Moreover, one must always be prepared, for any hesitation would cause the Cosmic Pot to disappear.

Standing in front of the Cosmic Pot was a slender man, carrying a circular ring on his back.

Because the surrounding space was obstructed by the opponent's Great Dao Source Principle Domain, Ding Huan had no choice but to stop the Cosmic Pot.

This person was able to accurately intercept his path here, clearly knowing that he had to pass through this place, otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve this.

However, even if he knew he had to pass through here, to stop him, one's strength must not be weaker than Wu Dao's.

Ding Huan was not afraid at all. Although his cultivation remained at the ninth step of the Great Dao over the hundreds of years traveling, his strength had already advanced another level.

Even facing Wu Dao alone, it was uncertain who would prevail.

Ding Huan's gaze fell on the circular ring behind the man.

That thing appeared to be a ring, but Ding Huan knew that it was a top-tier Great Dao magical treasure, or rather, a blade.

He had seen Wu Dao's blade, and now that Golden Saber still lay within his world, waiting for him to reverse it.

This man's blade was different from most blades.

Before it was summoned, it was merely a blade ring.

Even when the blade ring was not summoned, the immense aura of slaughter it contained was chilling to the heart soul.

Ding Huan suspected that once the blade was summoned, its murderous momentum could split open an entire universe.

The slender man saw Ding Huan merely stopped the Cosmic Pot and hadn't even put it away, only standing on the Cosmic Pot to assess him.

He also made a bow, "Are you Mr. Ding Huan?"

Ding Huan said indifferently, "I don't seem to know you."

He searched carefully in his mind for this person's information. This man was slender, with strong Taoist aura, filled with profound Dao rhythm.

Clearly, he was also a Dao Spirit, a top-tier Dao Spirit.

Such a strong presence was rare even in the vastness.

Could it be one of the three Dao?

Wu Dao was also one of the three Dao, but Wu Dao's aura was arrogant, exuding a formidable presence that declared prosperity for those who submitted, doom for those who resisted.

Such dominance and the pride that regarded all but himself as ants were absent from this man.

If he was one of the three Dao, could this guy's strength have been underestimated by Wu Dao?

But if he wasn't one of the three Dao, who could this guy be?

Could he be like Cang Fei and Ku Yue, existing without contesting for the Primordial Dao Principle after the initial division into ten universes?

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, the slender man knew he hadn't intercepted the wrong person and immediately said:

"I am Ye Sha, although I rarely come out, I do have a rather notable title, one of the three Dao."

He really was one of the three Dao.

Although Ding Huan had never seen Ye Sha, he had long heard of this person's name.

Why was this man here? And why did he intercept him alone?

It stands to reason that Wu Dao would plot against him and Chi Zhou, making it temporarily impossible for these two to emerge. Otherwise, would Wu Dao be at ease beyond the Ninefold Boundary?

"So it's Mr. Ye Sha, I've heard of you for a long time," Ding Huan said, with no trace of genuine admiration in his eyes.

People are categorized and things are grouped together.

Due to the presence of Wu Dao, Ding Huan had never held the three Dao in high regard, even had some disdain.

This man could intercept him here, definitely because someone had informed him about Ding Huan's affairs, or even guessed where he was heading.

Ye Sha did not mind Ding Huan's attitude, and laughed, saying:

"Mr. Ding, I have heard about you from An Ting. An Ting says Wu Dao might meet his demise at your and your friend's hands.

Although he escaped from you, his heart greatly admires you. If Wu Dao is indeed killed by you, then you would have avenged us and Chi Zhou."

Ding Huan felt a surge of gossip, "Mr. Ye Sha, did Wu Dao really plot against you and Chi Zhou?"

Ye Sha snorted coldly, "That person is ruthless, completely disregarding past relations for the Ninefold Boundary. Not only did he plot against me and Chi Zhou, but he also left Chi Zhou badly injured till now."

Ding Huan was noncommittal.

Chi Zhou, Ye Sha, and Wu Dao, these three were all Great Dao Spirit Animals.

They should be immortal in the great vastness, how could they be badly injured till now, that talk was just for listening.

What concerned him was why Ye Sha knew he would pass through here.

This place was not far from the Great Dao Ruin, unless this person knew he was heading to the Great Dao Ruin and was here waiting for him.

The purpose of waiting for him seemed clear, to join forces to take down Wu Dao.

He had indeed killed Wu Dao, but being a Dao Spirit of the Great Dao, one of the three Dao, Wu Dao could surely revive using the Great Dao Source Principle.

Moreover, when he slew Wu Dao, he hadn't even torn open Wu Dao's Tao Universe.

Even if Wu Dao didn't use the Great Dao Source Principle, he shouldn't completely perish.

Seeing Ding Huan didn't respond to his words, Ye Sha spoke again, "Mr. Ding, did you really slay Wu Dao?"

Ding Huan raised a hand, and Wu Dao's Great Golden Saber appeared in front of him, "This is Wu Dao's magical treasure, what do you think?"

Seeing the Golden Saber of Hao Han, Ye Sha laughed maniacally for a while before finally saying, "Wu Dao, oh Wu Dao, you have your day too?"

Ding Huan stood by, waiting. He wanted to see what Ye Sha, one of the three, wanted with him.

"Mr. Ding, are you heading to the Hao Han Dao Ruins?" Ye Sha finally calmed down from his laughter, softening his tone.

Ding Huan asked, "Why does Dao Friend Ye Sha know that I'm going to the Hao Han Dao Ruins?"

Ye Sha's tone became solemn and earnest, even clasping his fist towards Ding Huan, "Mr. Ding, it was my friend An Ting who told me.

He said that you and your friends are very formidable. Had he not left in time, he might have followed in Wu Dao's footsteps."

Ding Huan was unclear about the relationship between Ye Sha and An Ting.

Even Ye Sha's achievement of being one of the three with the Primordial Dao Principle was due to An Ting.

One must know that the initial Primordial Dao Principle was obtained by An Ting, who then selflessly gave it to Ye Sha, allowing him to become one of the three.

Ding Huan frowned slightly.

An Ting is no good person.

The relationship between Ye Sha and An Ting seemed quite close, indicating Ding Huan should be on guard.

Ye Sha seemed to know what Ding Huan was thinking and spoke again, "At first, I didn't know that merging the Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han would bind me under Hao Han.

Only later did I realize why An Ting handed the Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han to me; it was because he wanted to escape the binds of Hao Han, so he gave it to me. An Ting never had good intentions from the start."

Ding Huan said indifferently, "Dao Friend Ye Sha, An Ting giving you the Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han and not asking anything in return, how could that be malicious?"

Although he was at odds with An Ting, the Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han is invaluable no matter how you look at it.

No matter which cultivator it is given to, it is a priceless treasure.

He didn't believe that just anyone could surpass the confines of Hao Han, escaping cosmic causality.

Ye Sha sighed, "The Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han was initially obtained by An Ting, so the cosmic causality of Hao Han should have been borne by An Ting.

But An Ting, by giving me the Primordial Dao Principle without charge, transferred the Hao Han cosmic causality to me. He freed himself from the shackles of Hao Han's cosmic causality.

Of course, I don't resent him for this. After all, if I had grabbed the Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han myself, I wouldn't have passed it up either."

Escaping the binds of cosmic causality of Hao Han?

Ding Huan sneered inside, An Ting wants to escape the cosmic causality of Hao Han? Dream on.

When cultivating beneath Hao Han, one senses the primordial energy of Hao Han, and constructs the universe of Hao Han's source principle.

Discarding one Primordial Dao Principle of Hao Han and expecting to escape cosmic causality? Wishful thinking.

Not to mention beings like An Ting who comprehend the source principle of Hao Han.

Even he, as long as he is within Hao Han, cannot completely escape its cosmic causality.

Ding Huan immediately thought of Yiyuan Jiqiong.

If Jiqiong truly left Hao Han and became immortal, then he indeed escaped all cosmic causality and bindings of Hao Han.

"Dao Friend Ye Sha, why are you blocking me here?" Ding Huan didn't want to waste time here.

Ye Sha's tone became more cautious: "Mr. Ding, are you heading to the Hao Han Dao Ruins for the Hao Han Star Map?"

Hao Han Star Map?

This thing he knew about.

Mo Wuji sent him a message that the Hao Han Star Map is an auxiliary magical treasure controlled by several realm lords of the First Universe, a top-level supreme treasure of Hao Han.

This Hao Han treasure was likely born alongside the inception of Hao Han.

When Hao Han first split into the ten universes, the Hao Han Star Map appeared simultaneously.

The Hao Han Star Map has eight pieces in total; merging them allows one to sense the source principles from Universes Two to Nine.

And thus alter these universes.

The calamity of yore was orchestrated by these bastards using the Hao Han Star Map.

But Mo Wuji said, the Hao Han Star Map is definitely more than just eight pieces; it possibly consists of nine pieces.

The Hao Han Star Map controlling the First Universe must be on Yiyuan Jiqiong.

If that's the case indeed.

Then Yiyuan Jiqiong can manipulate the First Universe using the Hao Han Star Map at any time, meaning even if they reach the Ninth Step of Dao, they remain under Yiyuan Jiqiong's grand hand seal.

But how could Ye Sha claim the Hao Han Star Map is in the Hao Han Dao Ruins?

Moreover, after mentioning the Hao Han Star Map, Ye Sha didn't seem to suffer a backlash from the Hao Han Dao Vow.

It seems the three weren't restricted by the Dao Vow of the Hao Han Star Map.

Upon mentioning the Hao Han Star Map, Ye Sha noticed Ding Huan's odd expression, perhaps puzzled.

He suddenly realized, was it possible that Ding Huan didn't know about this at all?

At that moment, Ye Sha wished he could slap himself.

Ding Huan, along with Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, even knew about places beyond the Nine Vin and Eightfold Expanse Canyon and could utilize them.

He naturally assumed Ding Huan and company surely knew about the Hao Han Star Map, otherwise, why head to the Hao Han Dao Ruins?

As it turns out, blocking Ding Huan outside the Hao Han Dao Ruins further indicated that Ding Huan knew of this matter.

Why then did Ding Huan's demeanor suggest he was unaware?

Ding Huan frowned, staring at Ye Sha: "Dao Friend Ye Sha, we have never spoken of this to anyone, how do you know about it? And how are you aware of this matter?"

What Hao Han Star Map, he was going to the Hao Han Dao Ruins to block Shi Keling.

(Good night, Dao Friend!)
