Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 628 - 621: I am new here

"You go first," the young man looked at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan landed outside the Ascension Pool, but his gaze was fixed on a small tavern not far away.

The tavern looked small, yet besides the area for selling and drinking wine, it also had a few simple trading shops.

Floating in the void outside the tavern were three words: "God-Gazing Wine."

"I am Chu Buqian, from the Blade-Washing Divine Sect in the Lower God Land. What's your name?" the young man asked.

"Ding Huan, I accidentally ended up here," Ding Huan replied, clasping his fist.

He observed that Chu Buqian appeared to be a genuine Heavenly God Realm expert. The Daoist Rhythm emanating from him seemed extremely well-integrated with the Heaven and Earth Rules.

This must be a cultivator who has refined a Divine status.

On the other hand, the aura from other individuals seemed somewhat misaligned with the Heaven and Earth Rules here. Could this be the difference between possessing and lacking a Divine status?

The cultivators watching from the outside all showed expressions of envy, and at first, Ding Huan thought they were envious of Chu Buqian.

After all, Chu Buqian was a sect cultivator from the Lower God Land.

Later, when Ding Huan noticed many eyes settling on him, he realized they were envying him instead.

Envying him?

For a moment, Ding Huan couldn't react until he discovered that after Chu Buqian spoke to him, the short man had quietly left. Only then did he understand that they envied his acquaintance with Chu Buqian.

Apparently, even the sect disciples from the Lower God Land held a high status here.

Then what was the status of the celebration from the Upper God Land, whom he had dealt with?

"I find you quite interesting. How about joining my Blade-Washing Divine Sect?" the young man said with a smile.

Ding Huan realized that the young man wasn't fascinated by his interesting nature but had a sympathetic heart and wanted to offer him help.

Previously, seeing the short man trying to snatch his ring, this young man had come forward to intervene.

It's not that Ding Huan didn't want to join the Divine Sect where this young man belonged, but he didn't dare to.

Firstly, he hadn't yet fully understood the basic survival principles of the Divine World, and secondly, if he joined the Blade-Washing Divine Sect and the force to which the celebration belonged discovered it in the future, the Blade-Washing Divine Sect would likely be doomed.

The celebration came from the Upper God Land, and their methods were certainly more powerful than his current ones.

If it was discovered that the celebration had died by his hand, what would be the outcome?

The celebration from the Upper God Land; would the forces from the Upper God Land be simple? Could anyone guarantee they wouldn't find out about his existence?

Even if he wanted to join the Blade-Washing Divine Sect, he needed to wait and see if he would be targeted by the sect from the celebration's faction after arriving in the Divine World.

With that thought, Ding Huan clasped his fist and said, "Thank you, Brother Chu, but I don't plan on joining a sect for now. I intend to first explore on my own for a while and consider other options if necessary."

Upon hearing this, Chu Buqian showed surprise in his eyes, then laughed heartily and tossed him a jade plate: "Alright, here's my jade plate. You can find me anytime."

After speaking, he swiftly turned and left.

The two women behind him also looked at Ding Huan in surprise before turning to leave.

The woman who had spoken to Ding Huan earlier said regretfully, "Mr. Ding, you've missed a great opportunity."

Perplexed, Ding Huan asked, "Sister, why have I missed a great opportunity?"

The woman, finding Ding Huan's words sweet, patiently explained, "Do you know why this place is called the God-Gazing Land? It's because the loose cultivators here all long to go to the Three God Lands for cultivation.

The Lower God Land is one of the Three God Lands. As long as you go to the Lower God Land, wouldn't you rise to the skies in one leap?"

"Isn't this the Divine World? Can't I go now?" Ding Huan quickly asked.

The woman looked at Ding Huan helplessly: "This is the Divine World, but what can you do now? Without merging the Divine status, no sect will take you.

The God-Gazing Land's God-Gazing Ladder Sea is the place that most abundantly produces Divine statuses. Almost all loose cultivators, and even some sect disciples, come here to seek Divine statuses."

"Thank you for the reminder, sister," Ding Huan offered his gratitude.

Seeing that Ding Huan was heading toward the tavern, the woman transmitted a message: "Be careful of Ao Bapi. Since you haven't joined the Blade-Washing Divine Sect, he will still find you.

Since you've just arrived here, it's best to go over there and purchase a Divine Realm Journal Jade Scroll to learn some basic rules…"

The woman's voice suddenly halted, and she quickly left as Ding Huan saw the short man named Ao Bapi approaching.

Ding Huan decided to go buy a few Divine Realm Jade Scrolls first.

Ao Bapi, seeing Ding Huan heading toward the tavern, quickened his pace, seemingly wanting to intercept Ding Huan before he entered.

However, Ding Huan was faster and entered the tavern before Ao Bapi could stop him.

Upon entering the tavern, the most conspicuous was the wine-selling counter.

Behind the counter sat a beautiful woman, and Ding Huan didn't sweep with his Divine Will but knew just from feeling that this woman was no simple character.

She was very likely someone who had refined Divine status as well.

But since she had refined Divine status, why would she stay in this place?

"Is there a Jade Scroll introduction to the God-Gazing Land and the Divine World?" Ding Huan approached the wine counter.

The woman's gaze fell on Ding Huan: "I require payment in Crystal Stone before providing anything. God-Sand Wine is one Crystal Stone per glass, accompanied by a Jade Scroll introduction to the God-Gazing Land and the Divine World."

"Alright, give me a glass." Ding Huan said and placed a Crystal Stone on the counter.

The woman was about to ask for a Divine Crystal, but she swallowed her words.

Ding Huan had indeed given a Divine Crystal.

She looked at Ding Huan in slight surprise.

Although she hadn't gone outside, she had witnessed everything that had happened outside clearly.

Ding Huan, not careful enough, was carried by the Void Universe Vortex to the broken Ascension Pool, and just when Ao Bapi was about to rob him, he encountered a kind disciple from the Blade Washing Sect.

Yet this Ding Huan was foolish enough not to choose to join the Blade Washing Sect, and instead recklessly came to the tavern.

"I still have some Hope God Wine here..."

The woman saw Ding Huan could take out Divine Crystals, and her eyes showed a bit more warmth.

In the Land of Hope God, there weren't many who could bring out Divine Crystals to drink.

Most people came to drink by exchanging for lower-grade Divine Stones.

As for Immortal Crystals and Immortal Spirit Veins, they weren't accepted here at all.

Before the woman could finish her sentence, Ding Huan waved his hand: "No need, just one cup of Hope Sand Wine."

He wasn't after the wine, but rather that brief introduction to the Land of Hope God and the Divine World.

The woman took out a cup of wine and placed it on the counter, then brought out a Jade Scroll and placed it on the counter.

Just as Ding Huan grabbed the Jade Scroll, he saw a hand seize the wine from the counter and drink it in one gulp: "Haha, good wine."

When this hand snatched the Hope Sand Wine, Ding Huan realized it was Ao Bapi who took his wine.

He could stop it, but he chose not to.

Everyone in the tavern was watching Ding Huan, wanting to see how this newcomer would handle the situation.

Ding Huan didn't even glance at Ao Bapi; his Divine Will was focused on the Jade Scroll in his hand.

There are three lands in the Divine World: Lower God Land, Middle God Land, and Upper God Land.

As for the Land of Hope God, it's a place where many Loose Cultivators gather, because there's a place there called the Sea of the Divine Ladder.

The Sea of the Divine Ladder is the most abundant place for Divine Stones, and many Loose Cultivators search for Divine Stones there.

The main purpose of searching for Divine Stones is to refine one's own Divine status and then join a sect in the Lower God Land.

As for the Middle God Land and Upper God Land, those places aren't for ordinary Loose Cultivators.

Even if they come to the Lower God Land to find disciples, it's only for cultivators who have refined the most elite Divine status; ordinary cultivators shouldn't even think about it.

There are rules in the Land of Hope God, too.

These rules are set by the Loose Cultivator Alliance of the Land of Hope God.

The Land of Hope God has too many Loose Cultivators, so naturally, there need to be rules.

That rule is about finding Divine status; whether you discover it first or later, if you haven't touched it, whoever grabs it first, it belongs to them.

If you've discovered the Divine status and already have it in hand, others aren't allowed to snatch it, or it will cause public outrage.

Of course, not snatching is only a surface rule.

Behind the scenes, the snatching of Divine status happens every day, and innocents are killed daily in the Land of Hope God.

The reason Ao Bapi dared to snatch Ding Huan's Hope Sand Wine is based on this rule.

As long as the Hope Sand Wine hadn't been touched by Ding Huan, even if Ding Huan paid for it, it wouldn't count as his, so Ao Bapi could seize it beforehand.

This matter involves quibbling; if Ding Huan claims the wine is his, Ao Bapi would say it's the tavern's or someone else's who bought it and left it there.

Why would wine that hasn't passed through your hand be considered yours?

If Ding Huan dared to ask for wine at the tavern again, it would be quite a sight.

Since Ding Huan wasn't there for the wine, he naturally wouldn't ask the woman for more.

He continued studying the Jade Scroll.

After finding out there's no rule prohibiting action, Ding Huan put away the Jade Scroll.

In short, it's still a place where the strong prey on the weak.

Seeing Ding Huan put away the Jade Scroll, the crowd in the tavern focused their gaze even more intently on Ding Huan.

Ding Huan smiled at Ao Bapi and said, "Have a safe journey..."

Before Ao Bapi could realize it, Ding Huan's Yellow Flower Kill struck into Ao Bapi's Sea of Consciousness, followed by an abrupt punch.

Do not be deceived by the fact that Ao Bapi is genuinely a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator; when it comes to the strength of Divine Will, he simply couldn't surpass Ding Huan.

His only advantage was that his Immortal Essence Power had completely converted into Divine Essence Power, which, if direct confrontation occurred, his Divine Essence would suppress Ding Huan's Immortal Essence.

How could Ding Huan allow Ao Bapi the chance to strike?

So, before making a move, he launched a Yellow Flower Kill.

At such a short distance from Ding Huan, Ao Bapi never expected Ding Huan to attack.

By the time he felt Ding Huan really dared to strike, Ding Huan's fist had already slammed into his chest.

"Puff!" A bloody hole was punched out, and Ao Bapi was sent flying by the blow.

Ding Huan immediately charged out, his long blade swept up, and one slash came down.

The Death Saber Technique locked onto Ao Bapi.

Terrified, Ao Bapi watched as the long blade chopped down upon him; the aura of death engulfed his entire body, and he realized in his grievous condition, he couldn't even escape Ding Huan's Domain.

He barely had time to regret, only wanting to survive.

"Puff!" Ao Bapi clearly heard the sound of Ding Huan's long blade slicing through his skull; his heart was filled with despair as his Primordial Spirit was also locked by the sword force and was disintegrating.

Ding Huan put away the long blade, turned to the crowd following to watch the commotion, and smiled:

"Hello everyone, my name is Ding Huan, I'm new here, please take care of me."
