Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 425 - 418: First Hearing of Treasure Split Cliff
Ye Meier chuckled, "Little brother, haven't you seen the world much? If you one day take a spaceship on a trip to the Immortal Domain, the scenery along the way will make you cry because it's so beautiful.
Let me tell you, if it weren't for the prohibition against setting up the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array, there would be no telling how many Loose Cultivators' cave mansions would pop up along this route to the Immortal Domain."
Ding Huan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, but he said, "Is it that beautiful?"
Ye Meier snorted, "If I'm not mistaken, our warship is now flying along the edge of the Nine Immortals River.
You don't know about the Nine Immortals River, do you? It's truly picturesque, where the surface of the river and the sky perfectly blend together. Even without cultivation, just by experiencing that supremely beautiful scene, you would be intoxicated..."
Shi Nuozhou's stern and frosty voice came through, "Talking is not permitted; guard your own area well."
Ye Meier giggled again, seemingly unconcerned, but indeed she stopped talking.
Ding Huan felt increasingly that something was wrong. What Nine Immortals River? The only thing his Divine Will encountered was desolation, ruin, and the ashy breath of death.
His Divine Will landed on the ground, and everywhere were skeletons and an apocalyptic scene.
They were definitely not on a delivery trip to the Immortal Court, Ding Huan realized.
If they weren't going to the Immortal Court, then why hire ten people each with special talents?
Ding Huan hadn't inquired about the others' talents, but Hu Bujiu was good at Array Dao, his Divine Will was powerful, and Ye Meier's specialities in stealth and charming techniques were obvious without asking.
There was something wrong with this Ancient Road Immortal Transport.
Ding Huan's Divine Will did not first seek out Shi Nuozhou and Hu Xiangyang but landed on the young man he suspected of carrying contraband.
The young man's ring had a Third-level Immortal Restriction, but Ding Huan easily bypassed it using the Void Array Patterns and investigated the ring's interior.
Inside the young man's ring were only ordinary Low Grade Immortal Crystals, some low-level Immortal Pills, and a Low Grade Attack Immortal Artifact.
It was a typical Loose Cultivator's ring, with nothing unusual in its contents.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Just as Ding Huan's Divine Will was about to sweep over this young man, he suddenly felt something amiss.
He withdrew his Divine Will immediately, thinking it was a close call.
If he had been even a moment later, he might have been detected.
This guy was actually a Da Yi Immortal. If Ding Huan's Divine Will weren't truly strong, he would have been detected without a doubt.
There are two Da Yi Immortals on this warship, one in the open, one in hiding.
Besides these two Da Yi Immortals, among the five who boarded the warship later, there must also be powerful individuals. The Straw Hat Cultivator; Ding Huan had no idea what his level of cultivation might be.
Ding Huan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then started tampering with the spaceship's defensive formation.
Two days later, Ding Huan, with his Level 5 Immortal Array skills and formidable Divine Will, had filled the defensive formation with his own contingencies.
Whenever he wanted, this defensive formation could collapse at any moment. Then, he could establish his own Level 5 Void Trapping Killing Array.
He had several Teleportation Array Plates on his person, no need for crafting. As long as he could escape this warship, he could summon his iron pot and flee at any time.
After all the arrangements were made, Ding Huan considered whether to take Ye Meier with him when escaping. As for the other one he knew, Hu Bujiu, he was simply too far away.
After thinking it over, Ding Huan decided when escaping to toss an Array Formation Card to Ye Meier. If she trusted him, she could use the Array Formation Card to activate the Killing Trap Array he had set and escape on her own. If not, so be it.
But before leaving, Ding Huan still wanted to know why Hu Xiangyang had recruited these people.
Ding Huan's Divine Will cautiously moved to the outer part of the cabin, which was, surprisingly, encased in a Level 5 Shielding Immortal Array.
This time, Ding Huan quickly found the Array Core and circumvented the Level 5 Immortal Array to focus within the cabin.
Inside the cabin, Ding Huan saw Hu Xiangyang standing at the entrance like a guard.
In the middle of the cabin sat the Straw Hat Cultivator, who hadn't even removed his straw hat upon entering the cabin; it had been half a year—wasn't he tired?
On either side of this Straw Hat Cultivator were the four female cultivators who boarded with him.
Two female cultivators on each side, they surrounded and protected the Straw Hat Cultivator in the middle.
The Straw Hat Cultivator seemed to be in cultivation, his body enveloped in a faint layer of spirit fog, his aura looking overwhelmingly vigorous.
But under Ding Huan's Divine Will, this guy was just a minor Golden Immortal.
The four female cultivators beside him, however, were two early-stage Da Yi Immortals and two late-stage Profound Immortals.
Ding Huan began inscribing Killing Trap Array Patterns within the cabin. Despite not knowing why these people had brought him here, it surely wasn't for anything good.
In one day, Ding Huan inscribed several layers of Level 5 Killing Trap Array Patterns.
Worried these Array Patterns might cause issues when he left, he also inscribed control patterns.
When no longer needed, he could use these control patterns to cause the Killing Trap Array Patterns to collapse.
After all the preparations were complete, Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief; he decided it was time to leave.
Before leaving, he would send a message to Ye Meier.
Before departing, Ding Huan planned to unlock the Straw Hat Cultivator's ring to see if there were any valuables inside.
"If there is something I fancy, then there's no need for courtesies."
Before Ding Huan could open the Straw Hat Cultivator's ring, the cultivator who was in meditation surprisingly ceased his cultivation practice.
Seeing that the guy didn't continue with his cultivation, Ding Huan had no choice but to retract his Divine Will.
This fellow seemed to be in the Golden Immortal Realm, but the treasures on him appeared to be numerous.
Not to mention anything else, just by the straw hat alone, which was extraordinary, if he used his Divine Will to unlock the ring's restriction, he would likely be discovered by the other party.
"It's been several months now, have you found out anything about that Zhang San?" The first thing the Straw Hat Cultivator said was to inquire about Zhang San.
The voice was somewhat shrill, almost resembling a woman's, but Ding Huan's intuition told him this guy was most likely a male cultivator.
On hearing this, Ding Huan was a bit surprised. Why were they investigating him specifically? Simply because his Divine Will was stronger?
"Young Master, there are no records of this person entering the Eternal Immortal Dao City in the short term. There are only two possibilities, the first being that this person went to the Eternal Immortal Dao City a long time ago and has been in closed-door cultivation ever since. The second is that this person has changed identities."
The Da Yi Fairy Cultivator standing beside the Straw Hat Cultivator bent over in a bow and answered very cautiously.
After hearing this, the Straw Hat Cultivator fell silent for a good while, then said, "You go call Zhang San over... Wait, Hu Xiangyang, you go test Zhang San's root bone age."
"Yes." Hu Xiangyang had been standing by the inner cabin door. Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and then left.
Ding Huan knew he couldn't wait any longer and immediately controlled a dozen drops of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow to seep through the spaceship's Protective Array.
All of the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow was smeared on the outside of the spaceship.
As long as there were Demon Beasts, the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow would serve as the best bait.
If by the time Hu Xiangyang came to test his root bone, and the spaceship hadn't yet been attacked by Immortal Demon Beasts, he would take the initiative to escape.
Just as Ding Huan smeared the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow on the outside of the spaceship, he heard a sharp cry, followed by a sensation of their spaceship being hit by a tremendous force.
"Boom!" An explosive sound resounded, and Ding Huan's First-level Immortal Array immediately collapsed under this massive impact.
A sharp screech rose from the spaceship, and Shi Nuozhou's voice, filled with panic, also came through, "The spaceship is under intercepting attack, everyone get ready to act."
Ding Huan saw everyone pull out their Magical Treasures, even Ye Meier looked tense as she stared at the spaceship's Defense Array.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A succession of impact sounds came through. Ding Huan had already withdrawn his Divine Will, and the Monitoring Array Pattern he engraved on the outside transmitted images.

A flock of strange birds with no feathers and only one foot each were ramming into the spaceship.
The heads and necks of these birds were pitch black, appearing extremely hard.
What was most bizarre were their wings, seemingly featherless, but repeatedly slamming into the spaceship. Despite such violent smashes, their wings remained unscathed.
The patch smothered with the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow was long ago pecked clean by these odd birds.
The footless, featherless strange birds that didn't get to eat the Sea Marrow were even more frantically ramming into the spaceship, evidently trying to break it open to see if there was any more Sea Marrow inside.
The spaceship had already stopped due to the assault of so many strange birds and was spinning in the Void.
Boom!
Finally, the spaceship's Flying Array was shattered, and it plummeted from the sky.
"What's going on?" Hu Xiangyang's anxious voice came through.
Shi Nuozhou hurriedly replied, "It's a flock of Corpse-Devouring Dark Iron Beasts, they're attacking our spaceship like they've gone mad. Our Level 5 Protective Array won't last much longer; it will be shattered by the flock of Corpse-Devouring Dark Iron Beasts."
Almost as if responding to Shi Nuozhou's words, just as he finished speaking, the spaceship's Level 5 Defense Immortal Array made a cracking sound and broke, allowing everyone to see clearly what was happening outside.
Although the Protective Array hadn't been completely shattered, it was only a matter of time.
Ding Huan hesitated for a moment but decided not to activate the Killing Trap Array Pattern he had engraved in the inner cabin.
This so-called Young Master, definitely not a good character, and his background was far from ordinary.
If he triggered the Attack Array Pattern, whether he could kill the other party or not, it would mean trouble later.
Just as Ding Huan was about to withdraw his Divine Will, he heard the Young Master hum and say, "How far away are we from the Treasure Split Cliff ruins?"
"There's almost a month's journey left," a female cultivator answered respectfully.
Something stirred in Ding Huan's heart. Treasure Split Cliff?
Was it the legendary Treasure Split Cliff from the myths?
Regardless, he definitely had to check out this Treasure Split Cliff.
With that thought, as the flock of Corpse-Devouring Dark Iron Beasts once again attacked the spaceship's Level 5 Immortal Array, Ding Huan decisively activated his Array Patterns Restriction.
With Ding Huan's assistance, this flock of Corpse-Devouring Dark Iron Beasts completely tore apart the spaceship's Level 5 Defense Immortal Array.
"The Defense Immortal Array has been broken through," Shi Nuozhou said in fright, clearly aware of the terrible nature of the Corpse-Devouring Dark Iron Beasts.
While he was screaming in terror, everyone else was paralyzed.
Is this the route to the Immortal Court? Outside was a dead and silent atmosphere, and the space was a dreary grey. This bore no relation to the route going towards the Immortal Court.
