Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 1023 - 1016: The True Land Without Rules
"Is that the Creation Dao Principle?" Di He asked, though he could hardly believe it.
Ding Huan ignored Di He, trying desperately to control the Cosmic Pot.
No matter how many Void Law spaces he constructed to wrap around the Cosmic Pot, the pot showed no sign of stopping.
Not only that, the speed of the Cosmic Pot increased, as if it were about to collide with the Creation Dao Principle.
Ding Huan was a bit worried; would his Cosmic Pot be shattered at this rate?
"Boom!"
As if understanding Ding Huan's concern, the Cosmic Pot crashed into something solid.
Di He's Seventh Step of the Great Dao was also directly blasted away.
Luckily, there was a restriction on the Cosmic Pot, causing Di He to be bounced back, falling onto the pot.
Di He disregarded his own disheveled state, urgently shouting, "Brother Ding, this seems to be the Chaos Zone at the edge of the chaos center?"
Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief, finally not sent down a dead end.
He scanned his divine will outward, and after a moment of observation, he said:
"This place does resemble the Chaos Zone at the edge of the chaos center in the World of Gods, yet it is different, for it seems to truly be a place without rules."
Di He looked at Ding Huan with confusion, "But I can clearly feel the scattered various laws, and even faint Heaven and Earth Rules."
A place without rules should have no rules whatsoever.
Ding Huan sighed, "That's where the problem lies. Let's leave the Cosmic Pot first. Remember, do not circulate cultivation here, nor continue refining your Dao Domain."
"Why?"
"Because this place itself is one of chaos. The reason there are fragmented laws and vague Heaven and Earth Rules is for a reason."
Without waiting for Di He's question, Ding Huan took the initiative to explain, "If I'm not mistaken, these scattered laws were brought by people like us who were searching for the Creation Dao Principle.
Over the years, countless people have come here searching for the Creation Dao Principle, being sent here like us.
In the end, unable to obtain the Creation Dao Principle or find a way out, they had to survive in this unruly space.
Over time, their fragmented Dao Principles formed countless fragmented Heaven and Earth Laws here. These Heaven and Earth Laws gradually shaped into vague Heaven and Earth Rules."
Di He was stunned, and after a while, asked, "Brother Ding, do you mean..."
Ding Huan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I mean you and I, in the future, will also contribute fragmented laws here, making these vague Heaven and Earth Rules clearer.
Perhaps one day, these Heaven and Earth Rules will fully form and eventually create a world where humans can survive."
"But isn't the Creation Dao Principle just..."
Di He's words abruptly stopped; he initially wanted to say the Creation Dao Principle was right in front of him.
Yet before his eyes, where was the Creation Dao Principle?
The nearly tangible Creation Dao Principle just vanished.
Di He turned to Ding Huan, "How did the Creation Dao Principle disappear?"
Ding Huan shook his head, "The Creation Dao Principle hasn't disappeared. Previously, you could extend your domain in the Endless Void, so you could see the Creation Dao Principle.
But between here and the Creation Dao Principle is a real unruly space; in a real unruly space, you can't extend your domain, so you can't see the Creation Dao Principle."
"Then what do we do now?" Di He looked at Ding Huan, feeling lost.
He didn't need to ask to know that once trapped here, leaving was impossible.
Ding Huan's divine will scanned around; this was an unruly space where his divine will could only penetrate a limited range, aided by the scattered laws here.
After a scan, Ding Huan did not see any cultivators.
Still, he said, "Brother, so many scattered laws left here indicate that nearly all people searching for the Creation Dao Principle were swept here. If we keep going forward, we'll surely find survivors."
Ding Huan's prediction was accurate; after only half a day's walk, they saw three emaciated cultivators staring vacantly at the direction where the Creation Dao Principle appeared.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists," Ding Huan stepped forward, cupping his fists in salute.
In Ding Huan's eyes, these people's Dao Rhythm was chaotic, and the Taoist Aura was thin.
Still, Ding Huan was sure these people had once been Seventh Step Great Dao Saints.
Just arriving here, with Heaven and Earth Rules blurred and scattered Great Dao Rules everywhere.
Indeed, it was an unruly place, even if mighty saints stayed long, they'd likely become like this.
A bamboo-like cultivator with sunken eyes raised his head, scanning Ding Huan and Di He, saying blandly, "Newcomers?"
"Correct, we were sucked in by a vortex not long ago and ended up here. I must ask, what's going on here?"
Ding Huan cupped his fists and asked.
The bamboo cultivator chuckled, "You've seen it yourself, haven't you? As for the reason, you should also know. Why ask me?"
"Then no cultivation here, always trapped?" Ding Huan pressed on, unconcerned.
The bamboo cultivator's gaze swept across several other places, sighing, "Can't leave, yes. But no cultivation is false; we just have no use, rejected by others."
"Could I ask for some guidance?" Ding Huan cupped his fists.
This time, no one spoke.
Ding Huan took out some Dao Crystals, "How about I give these Dao Crystals to you?"
The bamboo cultivator spoke again, "You know we are all at the Seventh Step now, Dao Crystals are meaningless to us."
Ding Huan heard this, and directly threw out a mid-grade Dao Vein: "As long as you tell me the details, this mid-grade Dao Vein is yours."
Although these cultivators were very poor, and the Great Dao was severely scattered.
But Ding Huan's mid-grade Dao Vein didn't make them overly excited, their attitude remained the same as before.
Ding Huan didn't know that these people came here for the purpose of scattering their Dao.
In other words, they were all prepared to go to reincarnation.
They were ready to die, what would they care about the Dao Vein you give?
However, the bamboo pole cultivator still pointed to several other directions and said: "Those locations are places where you can cultivate and retreat.
Unfortunately, these good positions are all occupied by some thugs, no one can approach, as approaching means certain death.
Do you see where I'm pointing? That location is actually the best place to comprehend the Creation Dao Principle, occupied by two thugs named Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, no one is allowed to go there.
And these sides..."
The bamboo pole cultivator pointed to two more directions: "One is occupied by the thug Wen Shi leading dozens of people, the other is occupied by the thug Hu Aohua leading over a hundred people.
In addition, there is the place occupied by the thug Shi Li Wenna leading people, the place occupied by the thug King of Carefree leading people, the place occupied by the thug Ke Lin leading people..."
The bamboo pole cultivator listed more than a dozen names in one breath.
Every name was prefixed with the word 'thug'.
Ding Huan had heard of many of them.
Including Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, whom he was looking for.
Ding Huan thought it would be difficult to find Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji, but he didn't expect to hear news about them so easily.
Since he found Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, there was no need to stay here any longer.
After thanking the bamboo pole cultivator, Ding Huan continued forward with Di He, deciding to directly search for Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu. He could ask them about other matters.
As for any thugs, Ding Huan completely disregarded them.
Seeing Ding Huan and Di He walk straight to the best-positioned location, the bamboo pole cultivator chuckled and then put away the mid-grade Dao Vein given by Ding Huan.
He had come out searching for the Reincarnation Mechanism but who would willingly reincarnate in such a rule-less space, if possible?
Just a stick of incense passed after the pair left when Ding Huan's Divine Will touched upon a barrier.
The level of this barrier was not weak, definitely not like the trash barrier Ji Xinting arranged in the Endless Void Mountain.
Ding Huan was delighted; if Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu's abilities truly matched the rumors, then they could join forces to return to the World of Gods again.
While Ding Huan was observing the barrier, a figure already landed in front of the two.
It was a woman, looking delicate and pretty, whose Seventh Step Taoist Aura was much richer than that of the bamboo pole cultivator.
Ding Huan felt that this woman's strength was even much stronger than Wen Chendao.
"New arrivals?" The woman's eyes swept over Ding Huan and Di He with some disdain.
Ding Huan didn't mind.
They were newcomers; anyone could see that.
Those who had stayed here for a long time had noticeably different Taoist Rhythm.
"Yes, I'm here to visit Friend Wuji and Friend Xiaobu, they know one of my friends," Ding Huan clenched his fist and said politely.
"Open your world, then take off your clothes," the woman said indifferently, completely ignoring what Ding Huan had said.
Ding Huan thought he heard wrong and looked at Di He.
Di He was equally bewildered.
He looked at Ding Huan, meaning wasn't it you who said you had some connection with Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji?
What was going on?
Ding Huan confirmed he was not mistaken.
His face immediately sank: "Who are you?"
Hearing Ding Huan not following her instructions and daring to question her identity?
The woman's eyes flashed with viciousness, followed by dozens of sword aura rising to the sky, directly attacking Ding Huan and Di He.
Moreover, her Tao Domain enveloped Ding Huan and Di He at this moment.
Ding Huan could hardly believe how extreme this woman's boldness was.
To start off by dealing with both him and Di He together?
From the aura of the expanding Tao Domain, Ding Huan could sense this woman had likely killed countless innocent beings.
The Tao Domain was filled with various murderous auras.
Ding Huan was certain that this woman's Tao Aura had been tainted by these vicious auras.
Otherwise, no cultivator at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao would kill for no reason.
This was more than not being able to speak calmly, it was utterly senseless.
Without hesitation, Ding Huan summoned the Breaking Tribulation Blade. Since this woman had killed so many innocents, he didn't feel an ounce of sympathy in killing her.
As for who this woman might be to Lan Xiaobu or Mo Wuji, Ding Huan didn't care.
If Lan Mo was also this type, he wouldn't even bother to cooperate.
