Ding Huan attempted to operate the Great Universe Technique.

In just a single circulation, Ding Huan felt his thoughts become abruptly clear.

Something wasn't right; Ding Huan suddenly thought his ideas were peculiar, very peculiar.

Actually, ever since he saw the Creation Dao Principle, he'd been a bit off.

He knew there were four Creation Dao Principles there, and he rushed in and snatched one away.

He had to know that even after he snatched a Creation Dao Principle, there was extra time waiting for Di He to collect a Creation Dao Principle.

This time was enough for him to take away the third Creation Dao Principle again.

But in fact, he didn't even have this idea.

Not only that, after snatching the Creation Dao Principle and leaving the ruleless space, he thought about whether he could go back to snatch the third Creation Dao Principle.

Such a train of thought was absolutely not normal.

It seemed like he had subconsciously accepted one thing in his mind: that he could only take one Creation Dao Principle.

"Brother, don't comprehend your Creation Dao Principle yet; wait until we get to the Fog Realm."

Ding Huan initially planned to head to Blue Star Island, but thought he should figure this situation out before going back.

"Alright." Di He didn't even ask why Ding Huan didn't let him comprehend it now; whatever Ding Huan said, he trusted there was no problem.

Ding Huan greatly appreciated Di He's straightforwardness, which was also why he was willing to bring Di He along.

If he were suspicious about this and that, Ding Huan wouldn't bother spending time taking Di He to snatch the Creation Dao Principles.

Just as Ding Huan prepared to summon the Cosmic Pot, a colossal hand seal suddenly grasped down from the Void.

The powerful Dao momentum made Ding Huan somewhat anxious.

Was it that existence deep in the Endless Void Canyon awakening?

Could it be that it wouldn't let him leave and wanted to grab him back again?

Ding Huan sneered internally, thinking that they still saw him as the newbie he once was, who could be grabbed any time?

Ding Huan immediately grasped the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

But Ding Huan quickly discovered that this hand seal wasn't directed at him; it was bypassing him to grasp another boundary.

No matter who it was aiming at, Ding Huan didn't retract the Breaking Tribulation Blade he had summoned, directly slashing it down.

Even if it had nothing to do with him, thinking back to his past experiences, there was no way he could retract that slash.

Even though Ding Huan hadn't built up momentum, with his current strength, the vast void solidified under his blade.

Boom!

With one slash, endless cracks appeared in the void.

The enormous Dao hand seal was torn to shreds by Ding Huan's blade and then dissipated.

Ding Huan gripped the Breaking Tribulation Blade, staring into the vast void for a long moment, not seeing the hand seal coming down again.

Looks like that existence was somewhat apprehensive of him.

Ding Huan let out a breath.

Only then did he put away the Breaking Tribulation Blade.

Compared to being grabbed at the edge of the World of Gods back then, how much has his strength increased, a hundredfold?

The Primordial Energy hand seal he tore apart just now should be stronger than that existence in the Deep Chaos of the World of Gods.

However, the other side was very far from him, lacking the ability to come over and deal with him.

But the rivalry has been established.

Really, he's not sure why so many powerful beings have suddenly emerged.

"Let's go." Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot.

Now he couldn't go to Blue Star Island anymore.

Di He stepped onto the Cosmic Pot, which then activated and vanished in an instant.

...

Even though Ding Huan was extremely far from the Fog Realm, with his current strength, it took him less than a year to reach the outskirts of the Fog Realm.

Ding Huan was deeply moved.

All along, the stronger his strength, the faster the Cosmic Pot became.

Now, he had pushed the speed of the Cosmic Pot to the limit.

The restriction on the Cosmic Pot's speed was no longer due to insufficient strength, but because the level of the Cosmic Pot wasn't high enough.

It looked like even the Cosmic Pot needed to be upgraded.

He only had one Creation Dao Principle; if he let the Cosmic Pot upgrade, the Breaking Tribulation Blade wouldn't be able to upgrade.

After a brief hesitation, Ding Huan decided to let the Breaking Tribulation Blade upgrade.

In the future, he could construct the Creation Dao Principle himself, then let the Cosmic Pot upgrade.

For him, what he lacked right now was only a top-grade Dao Vein.

The Fog Realm's barrier hadn't changed, and Ding Huan's divine will fell on the monitoring array patterns he had inscribed.

He discovered a simple cave mansion at the entrance of the Fog Realm.

Who would place their cave mansion at the entrance to the Fog Realm? That place isn't suitable for cultivation.

Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot to break into the Fog Realm's barrier; he hadn't even stepped out of the Cosmic Pot when he saw a woman emerging from the simple cave mansion.

The woman was thin, weathered, with mottled Dao Rhythm, clearly injured by some method.

"Senior Ding..."

"Are you Shi Wanrong?" Only then did Ding Huan recognize that the frail woman was Shi Wanrong.

In truth, Shi Wanrong's cultivation technique was completely different from before, and her Tao Technique had been muddied by other methods.

"Yes, Shi Wanrong greets Senior." Shi Wanrong bowed in respect.

"How did you become like this? Hmm, the cultivation technique you're practicing... did you switch to Geng Yuan's technique?"

Ding Huan only needed a cursory sweep of his Divine Will to understand what was going on.

The Chaos Dao Technique had been extracted by him for Geng Yuan, so he naturally knew its content.

Shi Wanrong had a mutated Chaos Dao Body, so cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique was simply perfect for her.

But from Shi Wanrong's condition, she seemed to have cultivated the Chaos Dao Technique to the Sixth Step True Saint Realm.

In that case, why had she ended up in such a state?

With a Chaos Dao Body cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique to the Sixth Step of the Great Dao, even if facing a true Seventh Step of Dao, one should be able to retreat gracefully, right?

Previously, Shi Wanrong was on Blue Star Island. Did something happen on Blue Star Island?

"Wanrong, did something happen on Blue Star Island?" Ding Huan asked urgently.

Shi Wanrong shook her head, "No, Blue Star Island is fine."

Hearing that Blue Star Island was fine, Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Wanrong continued, "I only ended up like this after being plotted against when I went to the World of Gods."

"Tell me slowly."

After waiting for Di He to emerge from the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot.

Shi Wanrong couldn't discern Ding Huan's strength, but as soon as Di He appeared, she immediately sensed the Daoist Rhythm of the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects.

Di He waved his hand, signaling Shi Wanrong not to mind him.

Only then did Shi Wanrong say, "After I met Brother Geng Yuan on Blue Star Island, he taught me the Chaos Dao Technique.

After I began re-cultivating the Chaos Dao Technique, my progress was swift. When I reached the Fifth Step Wuque Saint, I felt that Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were somewhat inadequate for my cultivation.

At that time, Brother Geng Yuan also wanted to leave Blue Star Island, so we went together to the World of Gods.

When we entered the World of Gods, we met a woman named Lei Hen. She couldn't enter the World of Gods, and it was Brother Geng Yuan who brought her in…"

"Lei Hen? Do you have an image?" Ding Huan felt something was off about this name.

Lei Hen was a name for a male cultivator, why would a woman have such a name?

Shi Wanrong raised her hand and drew the visage of Lei Chou in the void.

Ding Huan glanced briefly and had a rough guess that this woman should be a relative of Lei Chou.

Because their outlines were somewhat similar.

When he had slain Lei Chou, he had used bloodline pursuit.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't managed to eliminate Lei Hen.

Which indicated that Lei Hen wasn't on the same plane as him at that time.

"Continue," knowing it was Lei Hen, Ding Huan had already marked this woman as a must-kill.

Lei Chou was slain by him; as long as Lei Hen knew about this, she would be his mortal enemy.

As for whether Lei Hen knew, Ding Huan had no doubts.

In the vast universe, the means of conveying information are unimaginable. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't possibly know all the methods.

He needed to return to Blue Star Island now.

Otherwise, if Geng Yuan, who's a fool, brought Lei Hen to Blue Star Island, what would happen then?

Years of survival experience told Ding Huan, never take chances.

"Wait, let's discuss this further on board." Ding Huan couldn't care less; he directly summoned the Cosmic Pot.

If Lei Hen was indeed in league with Geng Yuan, she would surely know the location of Blue Star Island.

No matter how dangerous it was, he had to go to Blue Star Island first.

Di He boarded the Cosmic Pot without the slightest hesitation,

Shi Wanrong also quickly boarded the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot to soar out of the Fog Realm, and then Shi Wanrong continued:

"After entering the World of Gods, Lei Hen parted with us and went elsewhere.

Later, Brother Geng Yuan and I sought a place to retreat and cultivate. Although he found a place, it didn't have cultivation resources. To step into the Seventh Step Master of the Universe, Brother Geng Yuan needed a large amount of Dao Veins.

We wandered the World of Gods for many years; I had reached the Sixth Step, yet Brother Geng Yuan still hadn't found the opportunity to step into the Seventh Step.

Later, we encountered Lei Hen, who had already entered the Seventh Step. Upon seeing Brother Geng Yuan stagnate at the Sixth Step, she invited him to retreat with her to a place.

Brother Geng Yuan, eager to enter the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, couldn't refuse any offer. Though I was reluctant, I couldn't help but go along…"

Listening up to this, Ding Huan was deeply moved.

There was no need to ask to know that Shi Wanrong was deeply in love with Geng Yuan.

Even if she disliked Lei Hen, she still followed Geng Yuan to her despite holding her nose.

"The place Lei Hen took us to indeed had many top-grade Dao Veins. Brother Geng Yuan was extremely grateful to Lei Hen, and they conversed freely, later they, they...

Subsequently, amidst countless resources, Brother Geng Yuan's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds…"

Ding Huan was speechless, how fond could Shi Wanrong be of Geng Yuan?

Even after being publicly cuckolded, she couldn't bear to leave Geng Yuan?

"While Brother Geng Yuan was in retreat, I too hoped to seize the opportunity to enter the Seventh Step. However, I soon felt something was wrong because the more I cultivated, the more fragmented and chaotic my Great Dao became...

I was certain it was Lei Hen who manipulated things, so I took the chance to ambush her while she was unguarded, hoping to ask this woman what exactly she did to me.

I never thought this woman was pregnant. My ambush inadvertently caused her to, to…"

Shi Wanrong's eyes reddened.

Only after a while did she continue: "Right at that moment, Brother Geng Yuan successfully advanced to the Seventh Step. With joy, he came out only to see that I had harmed his child...

Brother Geng Yuan could no longer contain his anger and attacked me. Although he didn't kill me, he severely injured me and drove me away."

Ding Huan looked speechlessly at Shi Wanrong, this woman actually felt some guilt.

Even if you cultivated the Chaos Dao Technique, but you, at the Sixth Step of the Great Dao, actually want to ambush someone at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, and you succeeded with one strike.

If the Seventh Step of the Great Dao could be so easily ambushed, it wouldn't be Shi Wanrong's turn.

Lao Shi seems very shrewd, how did he raise such an airheaded sweet girl?

(Fellow Daoist, good night!)
