Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 603 - 596: The Unreliable Brother Ding Huan

Ding Huan's Divine Will swept outside once again; he planned to research the Reincarnation Seven Seals.

He hadn't understood this Divine Skill before, but now with his cultivation at the peak realm of Immortal Emperor, both the strength of the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, Immortal Essence, and Divine Will were several times enhanced than before.

Researching the Reincarnation Seven Seals now should be almost there.

Only then did he find that the Cosmic Pot had stopped, Ding Huan's Divine Will landed outside the Cosmic Pot, and sure enough saw a Cosmic Vortex.

It seems that one must enter from here.

Ding Huan could only postpone researching the Reincarnation Seven Seals and stepped out of the Cosmic Pot.

"Brother Ding, you've emerged," said Zhuo Yao, delighted upon seeing Ding Huan come out.

Ding Huan looked at the young man: "Brother Zhuo, Sister Yan, this must be Wushang?"

Yan Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you Brother Ding for saving my son Wushang. Wushang, hurry and greet Uncle Ding Huan."

Zhuo Wushang quickly approached, bowed, and paid respects: "Wushang greets Mr. Huan, thank you Mr. Huan for saving my life."

Mr. Huan?

Ding Huan was taken aback, then immediately realized, and called out to Yi Jie in the distance: "Yi Jie, come over here."

Yi Jie scampered over, still only half a meter tall despite the years that had passed.

"Yi Jie, who made you teach Wushang to call me Mr. Huan? Can't you teach properly?"

After reproaching Yi Jie a bit, Ding Huan looked at Zhuo Wushang again: "Just call me uncle; don't learn from Yi Jie."

Zhuo Wushang shook his head: "I'm good friends with Yi Jie; Yi Jie calls you Mr. Huan, and I call you Uncle—such seniority would be wrong."

Ding Huan was speechless, thinking: my titles are equal to your parents, and you call me Mr. Huan, is that seniority right?

Zhuo Yao changed the topic: "Brother Ding, let the child call whatever he pleases.

The Cosmic Vortex ahead leads to the Cosmic Domain where the Chaos Star Land is located. To pass through, a ninth-level Defense Immortal Array is necessary. The Protection Array Restriction of this Cosmic Pot isn't enough."

Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi's cultivations were strong, but in terms of the Array Dao, they were far from Ding Huan.

They could only see that Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot's Protection Array was a seventh-level Immortal Array, but didn't know that the seventh-level Immortal Array concealed a ninth-level Defense Immortal Array and a ninth-level Killing Trap Immortal Array.

Behind this ninth-level Immortal Array, there's also a third-level Defense Divine Array and a third-level Trapping and Killing Divine Array arranged with Ji Luo's help.

Needless to say, even if Ding Huan is currently at the peak of Immortal Emperor, even if Ding Huan's cultivation was just Luo Tian Immortal.

Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi coming to his Cosmic Pot, if Ding Huan activates the Trapping and Killing Divine Array, the two of them can only await death.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "This Cosmic Pot's Protection Array is unlike regular ones, there definitely won't be any problems."

Zhuo Yao originally meant that here they switch to his Flying Shuttle, making it safely through the Cosmic Vortex.

Since Ding Huan said it's fine, he didn't insist further.

"Alright, I'll take control of the Cosmic Pot, and we'll go through the Cosmic Vortex now."

Ding Huan took over the Cosmic Pot, which then charged into the Cosmic Vortex.

Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi could only be on guard, and if the Cosmic Pot's Protection Array showed signs of collapse, they'd quickly save people.

What they didn't expect was that not only didn't the Cosmic Pot collapse, but it also traversed the Cosmic Vortex swiftly.

If their Flying Shuttle passed through this Cosmic Vortex, it would take at least half a month, whereas the Cosmic Pot's speed took just over an hour to rush out of the Cosmic Vortex.

"It's done?" Yan Qi could hardly believe an hour later, looking at the surrounding void and the Cosmic Vortex not far away.

They were somewhat familiar with this place, having been here before.

"Yes, looks like the Chaos Star Land isn't far now." Ding Huan saw the Chaos Star Land on the Direction Crystal Ball.

If he were controlling the Cosmic Pot, it would take just over two months to reach the Chaos Star Land.

"Brother Ding Huan, this Cosmic Pot is definitely a treasure of Heaven and Earth; you must always be cautious."

Zhuo Yao spoke seriously.

He felt Ding Huan was somewhat careless, using the Cosmic Pot for travel and not avoiding encounters with others.

That they met his wife and him was lucky; if they'd met someone else, not only the Cosmic Pot but even Ding Huan's life might be lost.

Ding Huan smiled: "No worries, I've been lucky enough to meet reasonable people each time. Even last time, that person invited me to visit their home."

Hearing Ding Huan say this, Zhuo Yao could only sigh and didn't admonish further.

Ding Huan sped up the Cosmic Pot once more.

Zhuo Yao glanced at Ding Huan in surprise; he couldn't sense Ding Huan's specific cultivation, but even if the Cosmic Pot was Ding Huan's own Magical Treasure, its flying speed was faster than Zhuo Yao's own control—still somewhat strange.

"Brother Ding's Divine Will is so strong, almost catching up to mine," Zhuo Yao commented ambiguously.

Anywhere, unless the relationship is close to a certain extent, asking about someone's cultivation is disrespectful.

Zhuo Yao praised Ding Huan by saying his Divine Will is strong.

He had almost stepped into the realm of nurturing Divine Will; if not for cosmic law issues, he'd have ascended to a higher realm long ago.

Ding Huan was also surprised, Zhuo Yao's Divine Will stronger than his?

But Ding Huan quickly realized that Zhuo Yao thought his own Divine Will was far inferior, hence the comment.

He couldn't say, "your Divine Will isn't comparable to mine,"—so he said: "In terms of cultivation, I'm definitely not match to Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Yao didn't inquire further but instead followed Ding Huan in talking about the Chaos Star Land.

Through Zhuo Yao, Ding Huan learned that the Chaos Star Land was filled with powerful beings due to its strong Heaven and Earth Rules and abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Prominent Immortal Sects like the Heavenly God Palace were numerous here.

"Brother Zhuo, there's something I want to ask you. Have you heard of the Taoist Ancestor and Nine Heavens?"

Ding Huan most wanted to know if the Taoist Ancestor had arrived at the Chaos Star Land.

To Ding Huan's surprise, Zhuo Yao actually knew.

"Of course I know about the Taoist Ancestor; it's a legend in the Chaos Star Land. It's been millions of years, right? Back then, the Taoist Ancestor brought the Universe Disk to Chaos Star Land.

He preached in Chaos Star Land for a century. After a century, he left the Chaos Star Land, and it's said some people remained here..."

The Taoist Ancestor didn't merge the broken Nine Heavens with Chaos Star Land, but instead left after preaching for a century?

What does this mean?

The Taoist Ancestor went to the Pangu Great World before and did not merge it into Nine Heavens,

and now, encountering Chaos Star Land, he still didn't merge it into Nine Heavens.

Could it be that even the Chaos Star Land isn't appealing to the Taoist Ancestor?

When Nine Heavens fragmented long ago, and the Taoist Ancestor left the Cosmic Domain where Nine Heavens was located, wasn't it to find Chaos Star Land and then perfect Nine Heavens anew?

Could there be another issue?

Ding Huan remained silent; the news about the Taoist Ancestor had completely disappeared after reaching Chaos Star Land.

Before, he only needed to find Chaos Star Land to locate the Taoist Ancestor, but now there are no clues.

Seeing Ding Huan silent, Zhuo Yao smiled: "There are many legends about the Taoist Ancestor in Chaos Star Land. Many people stayed behind after coming down from the Universe Disk.

If you want to inquire about the Taoist Ancestor's whereabouts, you won't be disappointed on Chaos Star Land."

"Thank you, Brother Zhuo. Is the cultivation technique Wushang practicing taught by you?" Ding Huan did not continue the topic, as he was searching for the Taoist Ancestor for reasons completely different from Zhuo Yao's thoughts.

Zhuo Yao nodded: "Yes, the technique I taught is from Divine Sword Villa. My ancestors also listened to the Taoist Ancestor's teachings, so the technique from our villa is decent."

Ding Huan admired Zhuo Yao greatly and said straightforwardly,

"Brother Zhuo, I have a Tao Technique, and if you're interested, I believe Wushang would benefit more from cultivating my technique."

Ding Huan's direct words left Zhuo Wushang bewildered.

To refuse would hurt feelings.

But not refusing, how could his son, Zhuo Wushang, possibly cultivate another's technique?

The Divine Sword Villa wasn't inferior to the Heavenly God Palace because of its techniques.

Unconcerned with Zhuo Yao's expression, Ding Huan took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Zhuo Yao: "Here, give it to Wushang to take a look."

Zhuo Yao took the Jade Scroll and scanned it with his Divine Will, then became dazed.

After a dozen breaths, he looked at Ding Huan in shock: "Is this the Hongmeng Dao?"

Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, it's the Hongmeng Dao."

"This, this..." Zhuo Yao was stunned.

If Ding Huan took out another Tao Technique, he wouldn't pay much attention.

But the Hongmeng Dao? What is that?

It's one of the top paths among the Three Thousand Great Paths. How many people in the vast Universe can cultivate the Hongmeng Dao?

"It's too precious; I can't accept the Tao Technique you cultivate, Brother Ding." Zhuo Yao took a deep breath, feeling that accepting the Hongmeng Dao would be too greedy.

Even with his deep longing, he couldn't let greed overwhelm his nature.

Ding Huan deeply appreciated Zhuo Yao's ability to maintain his true self and waved his hand:

"I'm not cultivating the Hongmeng Dao; you can give it to Wushang to practice. If you and your wife like, you could also cultivate this path.

However, if you're different from Wushang—Wushang is newly a True Immortal, perfectly suited for the Hongmeng Dao. If you wish to cultivate, you'll need to advance to a higher realm first."

"Thank you, Brother Ding. I finally understand why you hold such a high place in Junior Sister Ga's heart; I'm far inferior."

Zhuo Yao bowed with respect in his voice.

He always felt he'd handled many things freely and had an open mind.

Now he realized he wasn't quite there compared to Ding Huan.

At least he wouldn't easily present something like the Hongmeng Dao to others.

In the ensuing days, Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi taught Zhuo Wushang to cultivate the Hongmeng Dao, while Ding Huan rapidly advanced in his Cosmic Pot.

In just a month and a half, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot stopped at a Void Square.

When Ding Huan called Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi to disembark from the Cosmic Pot, both were nearly dumbfounded.

Teaching Zhuo Wushang the Hongmeng Dao, they forgot to remind Ding Huan to disguise himself while entering Chaos Star Land.

Who knew Ding Huan would so flamboyantly allow his Cosmic Pot to land outside the Chaos Star Land's Void Square?

By now, even a fool would know Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi had returned, possibly with news reaching the Heavenly God Palace.

This Brother Ding was truly unreliable!
