Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 581 - 574 Alien Insect Star Land

When Ding Huan came to visit, Xi Yuan Clan Leader Xi Yuanhao's face turned pale and his legs trembled as he walked out to greet Ding Huan.

This Daoist Ding Huan acted far too terrifyingly.

He killed twelve Immortal Emperors at the gate of the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy because his disciple Ji Xing was imprisoned by the Mu Clan, and the Mu Clan was subsequently erased from the Great Dao corridors by Ding Huan.

Moreover, just yesterday, because Mu Congfei of Mu Clan was a bit negligent in greeting Ding Huan, Ding Huan destroyed the Mu Clan's Guest Hall and killed Mu Congfei...

How could the Xi Yuan Clan not tremble, with such a ruthless person arriving?

The key is that the Xi Yuan Clan had offended Ding Huan.

The one who offended Ding Huan was Xi Yuan Clan's Xi Yuan Yuhe.

Xi Yuanhao wished he could immediately dispose of Xi Yuan Yuhe, a useless clan disciple who brought such terrifying consequences to the clan.

Originally, there was a chance to become Ding Huan's disciple, but he refused to pay the Immortal Crystal and leave Ding Huan's Taoist Room, and even reported Ding Huan in retaliation.

Could it be that Ding Huan has come for revenge?

"Daoist Ding..." Xi Yuanhao hurried out from the clan's Protecting Array, seeing Ding Huan standing outside the array, seemingly not in a rush.

There was not a hint of killing intent around him, he even appeared quite gentle.

"Clan Leader Xi Yuan, I'm sorry to intrude and disturb your cultivation," Ding Huan greeted courteously with a fist salute.

Despite Ding Huan's incredibly polite attitude, Xi Yuanhao was startled and anxious.

He quickly said, "No disturbance at all, Daoist Ding, please come inside."

Because of his nervousness, he forgot to say other polite words.

Ding Huan didn't mind much. The key was that Ji Luo wanted nothing more than to return to the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy to reconstruct his body, and naturally did not want to linger outside.

Ding Huan understood Ji Luo's feelings, so he waved his hand and said, "I came here just to ask about something."

Xi Yuanhao quickly responded, "Daoist Ding, feel free to ask. As long as I, Xi Yuanhao, know, I won't hide anything."

Ding Huan nodded, "I heard that Clan Leader Xi Yuan obtained a Nine-color Void Lotus years ago, so I want to know where you got this Nine-color Void Lotus."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuanhao immediately realized and said, "It was from the Alien Insect Star Land. Years ago, the Cultivator Army of the Great Dao Corridors, led by Master Jie, killed billions of Insect Demons and reached the Alien Insect Star Land.

I was among the Cultivator Army back then. We harvested an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the Insect Star. That Nine-color Void Lotus was obtained in this way.

Unfortunately, the Insect Star had a powerful Insect Demon who led billions of Demon Insects to drive us out of the Insect Star. In that battle, Master Jie was severely injured."

"Alien Insect Star Land?" Ding Huan asked in surprise.

He didn't concern himself much with matters outside the Great Dao Corridors, so he hadn't purchased the related Jade Scrolls with records.

Xi Yuanhao nodded, "Yes, outside the Great Dao Corridors, there is a massive Star Land, and this Star Land is no smaller than the Great Dao Corridors.

But this Star Land is fully occupied by various Demon Insects, which have grown and spread after taking over, eventually devouring all human cultivators on this Star Land."

"There were humans on the Alien Insect Star Land before?"

"Yes, not only humans, but the Alien Insect Star Land was the only Star Land capable of sensing the higher planes beforehand. It wasn't originally called the Alien Insect Star Land either, it was Half-God Star Land...

Before the Insect Demons occupied the planet, some expert cultivators who transcended the Immortal Emperor level would step out of the Great Dao Corridors using the Half-God Star Land, entering a higher level Great Dao Domain."

Ding Huan noticed Xi Yuanhao's hesitation, as though he wanted to say something but found it inconvenient.

"Clan Leader Xi Yuan, it seemed you had something inconvenient to say earlier?"

Xi Yuanhao gave an embarrassed smile, "It's nothing much. Actually, the half-god veins from the Great Dao Corridors were all obtained from the Alien Insect Star Land."

Ding Huan suddenly realized, understanding that Xi Yuanhao mistakenly thought the half-god veins of the Great Dao Corridors were extracted by him, hence not daring to mention them.

"Thank you, Clan Leader Xi Yuan for providing this information," Ding Huan thanked with a fist salute and then flew away in the Cosmic Pot.

He sensed Xi Yuanhao was somewhat apprehensive and afraid of him, so once he clarified the situation, he bid farewell immediately.

Seeing Ding Huan genuinely came just to inquire about something, Xi Yuanhao breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away the sweat from his forehead.

It seemed this Daoist Ding wasn't as hard to deal with after all.

...

"Brother Ji, are you now in urgent need to return to the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy to restore your physical body?"

On the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan asked.

Ji Luo snorted, "Brother, that's obvious. You wander freely every day, don't know I'm living like year-old days?"

As a Primordial Spirit, trapped in the Heaven and Earth Scale all day, Ji Luo had grown tired of this life long ago.

Ding Huan chuckled, "Brother Ji, I have a suggestion, would you accept it?"

"Go ahead, I'll say first, I haven't wronged you, don't try to sever our partnership,"

Ji Luo's heart skipped as he heard the malicious chuckle from Ding Huan.

This brat must have gotten the Nine-color Void Lotus and didn't want to give it to him for restoring his body.

Ding Huan seriously said, "I suggest you not restore your body in the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy..."

"No..."

Before Ding Huan finished his words, Ji Luo became anxious. How could that be?

This brat indeed had set his sights on his Nine-color Void Lotus.

Ding Huan laughed, "Brother Ji, listen to me first. I believe there's an even better place for you to restore your body. I also plan to go there to advance to Immortal Emperor."

Ji Luo, being shrewd, instantly grasped Ding Huan's implication, "Brother, you mean we go to Alien Insect Star Land?"

Ding Huan immediately corrected, "No, once we arrive, it'll be renamed Half-God Star Land. What Alien Insect Star Land? I need that Star Land to have no insects."

"The Cultivator Army has failed to exterminate the insects of Alien Insect Star Land for years, and you plan to wipe out all the insects in one go?"

"Because I have my own method, I can poison them."

Not only could Ding Huan poison others, but his method differed from others; he utilized genetic techniques for targeted poisoning.

After acquiring the Grand Gene Skill, he had grown more adept at this method.

"But hasn't the Grand Poison Daoist Skill among the Three Thousand Great Dao disappeared? At least I haven't seen it."

"Lao Ji, you rely too much on the Three Thousand Great Dao. Without them, must you eat meat with fur?"

Chatting along the way, Ji Luo gradually accepted Ding Huan's suggestion.

If Half-God Star Land indeed had half-god veins and could sense higher plane levels, it would be infinitely better for cultivation and restoring his body than the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot charged into the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Ding Huan held no respect for this academy.

Seeing his three disciples still in closed-door cultivation, Ding Huan decided to extract the Immortal Spirit Vein and half-god vein implanted underground.

"Teacher." Ji Xing and others awoke from cultivation, rushing out upon seeing their teacher Ding Huan extracting the spirit veins.

Seeing only Ji Xing, Fan Qingsi, and Qianxun Haoyi, Ding Huan sighed and asked, "Hasn't anyone else come?"

He hoped his other disciples, taken by their clans, had come here.

After staying here for a month and a half, not one of the three disciples taken by their clans had come.

The reason was clear; they were all observing.

They wanted to see the outcome between him and the Immortal Supervisory Office, and if he won, they'd quickly return to cultivate here.

If he lost, staying hidden wouldn't put them in jeopardy.

"No." Ji Xing answered honestly.

He could feel the teacher's disappointment.

As disciples, if one can only gain and not give, any teacher would be disappointed.

"I plan to leave the Great Dao Corridors, would you be willing to follow me out?" Ding Huan asked.

"I am willing." Almost as soon as the words left Ding Huan's mouth, Ji Xing, Qianxun Haoyi, and Fan Qingsi responded simultaneously.

Following a Daoist for cultivation progresses rapidly; only a fool would refuse.

Now they felt fortunate, fortunate their cultivation had been abolished.

Because their cultivation was abolished, they waited for the teacher to rescue them and could follow him for training.

Furthermore, they were the only three who insisted that Ding Huan was innocent, so their cultivation was abolished.

Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot, "Come aboard, we're leaving."

Gu Min arrived just in time to see the Cosmic Pot flying away from the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Looking at the mountain where Ding Huan cultivated, it was evident Ding Huan had indeed left this time, taking his three disciples with him.

Gu Min felt relief mixed with quiet blessings for Ding Huan to escape the Immortal Supervisory Office's pursuit.

Over the previous month, he knew clearly why the Immortal Supervisory Office hadn't attacked Ding Huan.

One reason was the recent ferocity of the Insect Demon Tide, almost breaking the Great Dao Corridors' Protecting Array.

The second was likely Master Jie being heavily injured, by someone unmentioned but probably Ding Huan.

The Cosmic Pot sped faster and faster, Ji Xing tried to extend his Divine Will but it was immediately sliced apart.

This speed...

Ji Xing suspected it surpassed the speed of the rumored semi-sacred artifacts and might be post-Innate Spiritual Treasures or even Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Considering their teacher's power, possessing such a treasure was not unexpected.

Even without the Teleportation Array, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot took only a few days to reach the first exit of the Great Dao Corridors' Protecting Array.

The Great Dao Corridors' Protecting Array barred both entry from outsiders and exit from insiders.

"Great Dao Corridors Protecting Array, intruders will be killed."

A newly ascended Immortal Sovereign had just finished saying this when he saw a beam of gun light tear open the array. Immediately, Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot to dash out, landing in the Void Square outside the Great Dao Corridors.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
