Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 1041 - 1034: The Dao Vein Clusters of the World of Gods
Not killing the Eternal God Saint didn't bother Ding Huan.
In his mind, the current Eternal God Saint was far from being his match.
Besides, that guy's Great Dao was flawed, and who knows which corner he's hiding in to lick his wounds.
"Wanrong, you take control of the Cosmic Cauldron." After summoning the Cosmic Cauldron, Ding Huan handed it over to Shi Wanrong to control.
It's because Shi Wanrong couldn't pinpoint the location of the Dao Vein cluster.
At that time, when she was with Lei Hen and Geng Yuan, all her attention was on Geng Yuan, leaving no room to remember the location rules.
However, Shi Wanrong is, after all, a True Saint at the Sixth Step of the Great Dao. As long as she's been somewhere before, she can find her way back.
Hence, the task of finding the Dao Vein cluster was given to Shi Wanrong.
Even with Shi Wanrong controlling the Cosmic Cauldron, its speed remained extremely fast.
But the World of Gods is vast and boundless, coupled with Shi Wanrong searching while sensing the location, which inadvertently wasted a lot of time.
It wasn't until five months later that Shi Wanrong confirmed the location.
She quickly carved the location and handed it to Ding Huan. With the location marked, things became simple.
Ding Huan accelerated the Cosmic Cauldron's speed several tens of times, and in less than a month, the Cosmic Cauldron stopped outside a Thorn Jungle where Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was scarce.
The rules in the Thorn Forest were chaotic, and Divine Will could only extend within a hundred-li radius.
And the range of this entire Thorn Forest was such that even Ding Huan's Divine Will couldn't cover a ten-thousandth of it.
In other words, if a Wuque Saint were thrown into the deepest part of this Thorn Forest, getting out would be questionable.
"Sister Wanrong, you say there are Dao Veins in this place?" After getting off the Cosmic Cauldron, Di He was the first to express his doubts.
With such scarcity of Primordial Qi in the surroundings, how could there be a Primordial Qi Vein?
The Thick Trace God Emperor also looked at Shi Wanrong with some skepticism.
Could there be a Primordial Qi Vein in a place where the Primordial Qi is so scarce?
In the World of Gods, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is actually quite dense.
Even random places are more conducive to cultivation than here with its scarce Primordial Qi.
"Wanrong is right, there were indeed Dao Veins here, but they were extracted by someone."
Ding Huan's Divine Will, without relying on external Heaven and Earth Rules, could still encompass thousands of miles, despite the chaotic rules in the Thorn Jungle.
The group entered the Thorn Forest.
Under Ding Huan's lead, they quickly reached a place simply locked with a Barrier Lock.
This was situated between two massive thorn bushes.
It appeared no different from other places, but in Ding Huan's eyes, this Barrier Lock might as well not exist.
"Here it is." Shi Wanrong also remembered, pointing to the space between the two thorn bushes.
There was a long gray stone slab there, which was the entrance of the Barrier Lock.
Ding Huan did not tear open the Barrier Lock but let his Divine Will penetrate it.
Geng Yuan and Lei Hen were already gone; only the aura of extracted Dao Veins remained inside.
At the same time, Ding Huan confirmed that Lei Hen and Lei Chou cultivated the same Thunder Attribute Great Dao.
Seeing Shi Wanrong's excited look, Ding Huan said, "Geng Yuan is gone, and the Dao Veins here were taken. I really didn't expect that Lei Hen could even set up a Barrier Lock."
Upon hearing that Geng Yuan left, Shi Wanrong realized she felt no emotional turbulence.
She finally let go and stepped out from under that heavy burden of gratitude.
"Those two scoundrels, they really cleaned it out, didn't they?" Thick Trace God Emperor cursed.
On the journey, he had heard Shi Wanrong talk about her and Geng Yuan.
He understood Ding Huan's mention of the Lei Family more than Shi Wanrong.
Back then, Lei Hongji wasn't weaker than Mo Wuji.
Who would have thought Lei Hongji was taken down by Mo Wuji, and yet his descendants were still causing trouble here?
Ding Huan scanned with his Divine Will and then said, "There might still be Dao Veins here."
He said 'might' because his Divine Will had already sensed several Barrier Locks, which were much more sophisticated than those set by Lei Hen.
If one wasn't skilled in barriers, they might find it very difficult to detect them.
"Let's check out another spot."
Ding Huan led the group further inward.
The rules here were somewhat confusing, so their pace wasn't fast.
They passed by several Barrier Locks that Ding Huan's Divine Will had sensed, but he didn't stop.
He felt that even if there were Dao Veins in these Barrier Locks, they wouldn't be of good quality.
A day later, Di He, worried, said, "Brother Ding, I've lost my sense of direction. If I were left here, I doubt I could find my way out."
A Daoist Saint of the Eighth Step claiming to be unable to find their way out of a Thorn Forest sounded laughable.
Yet that was the truth.
Di He had passed the Eighth Step of the Word Saint, and even in the Thorn Forest, his Divine Will couldn't distinguish directions. For ordinary people, it was, of course, even more confusing.
Thick Trace God Emperor didn't even want to speak, just closely following Ding Huan.
Though Di He claimed he couldn't find a way out, there was still a chance for him to exit.
If he were left behind, he was certain he wouldn't get out.
Shi Wanrong felt a bit apprehensive.
Luckily, the position Lei Hen found wasn't deep in the Thorn Forest, otherwise, could she really have walked out of this vast Thorn Jungle?
"It's fine, just stick close to me."
Ding Huan indicated that everyone shouldn't worry.
Indeed, in this part of the Thorn Forest, Divine Will became chaotic. Here, not only was Divine Will restricted, but it was also disrupted by various laws.
Yet it didn't affect his Divine Will.
His divine will does not rely on external space laws and heaven and earth rules.
No matter how the heaven and earth rules change externally, his divine will will sweep out as it should.
At most, it is just somewhat restricted.
After walking with a few people for another two days, they stopped again at the edge of the five large thorn jungles.
"Are these five elements locking array flags?" Di He asked, puzzled, pointing at the five thorn jungles.
"No, this is the entrance to the Soul Locking Barrier. If you dare to attack, your divine soul will be locked into these five thorn jungles."
Ding Huan explained.
He had some doubts before, wondering if there really were dao veins here and if they were sealed by barriers, whether it was artificially arranged or naturally formed.
Now Ding Huan was certain, it must be artificially arranged.
The heaven and earth rules in the World of Gods are stable, and there is no possibility of a world collapse due to a shortage of primordial energy.
Therefore, there is no need to create various Dao Vein sealings.
It's unknown who would set up a barrier here and bury some dao veins in this thorn jungle?
The barrier in front of them is of high grade, and anyone who does not understand barriers will be captured into the Soul Locking Barrier if they attack.
For Ding Huan, this is not difficult.
He didn't even summon array flags, just forcefully attacked with the Breaking Tribulation Blade.
After only three strikes, a passage appeared before the group.
The barrier was torn open by Ding Huan, and rich heaven and earth primordial qi overflowed.
"So many dao veins?"
Thick Trace God Emperor's eyes widened, and his heart was racing.
Within his divine will, there were rows upon rows of dao veins...
If he had so many dao veins, he wouldn't be engaging in those petty dealings at the Trading Building of Gods.
Ding Huan raised his hand and set a Primordial Energy Sealing Barrier, also remarking, "That Lei Hen somehow knew about the dao veins in the thorn jungle of the World of Gods, and she managed to find one."
Shi Wanrong responded, "I once heard her tell Brother Geng that her spirit root attribute has a natural affinity for dao veins, making it easier to find them."
Ding Huan was speechless, "Only you and Geng Yuan would believe such a claim."
Lei Hen must have a thunder spiritual root, otherwise, the Lei Family wouldn't cultivate the Thunder Skill.
Previously, when he visited Lei Hen's seclusion place, there were indeed remnants of thunder attribute dao rhythm.
Thunder spiritual roots have a natural affinity for dao veins?
This was the funniest joke Ding Huan had ever heard.
"Let's go, everyone can enter and extract on their own, take as much as you can."
After saying this, Ding Huan was the first to enter the cluster of dao veins.
Right now, his greatest desire was various dao veins.
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words and seeing Ding Huan begin extracting dao veins, Di He and others naturally did not hold back.
As dao veins continued to be extracted by several people, the area gradually became more vacant.
Even though Ding Huan said everyone could take as many dao veins as they wanted, both Di He and Thick Trace stopped once they had enough resources.
Shi Wanrong was even more grateful.
She extracted the least.
Ding Huan did not extract all; he took nearly five thousand top-grade dao veins, among which nearly a thousand were complete.
"Sect Master, why not extract them all? There are still many high-grade and mid-grade left." Seeing Ding Huan leave a bunch of dao veins, Di He asked, puzzled.
"Let it be, we'll leave now." Ding Huan walked out of the cluster of dao veins, with a rough guess in his mind.
These dao veins were left by someone.
Why are there so few dao veins in the World of Gods?
It's obvious most have been extracted and gathered here.
Just like when the vast universe was first opened, dao veins were piled up.
The first person to appear in this universe would naturally collect dao veins until their hands cramped.
As for why these dao veins were placed here, Ding Huan had a rough guess.
It's similar to how he extracted dao veins from the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.
Even though he extracted many dao veins from the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, their quality wasn't very good.
Even if they were high-grade dao veins, in the World of Gods they wouldn't even compare to low grade.
It's not just due to insufficient heaven and earth primordial qi, but also because the dao principle of the veins is not perfect.
If he placed those dao veins in a place with complete heaven and earth rules, over time, they would grow into well-formed top-grade dao veins.
The dao veins here were likely placed here by someone to grow.
Besides the top-grade dao veins he extracted, there remains a heap of high-grade and mid-grade dao veins that haven't fully grown.
Now most of the dao veins have grown to an appropriate level, yet they benefited him.
Ding Huan had not a shred of guilt.
These dao veins originally belong to the World of Gods, those before him ate the meat and hid the soup.
Just like the chaos treasures he obtained, most contain bloodline laws.
Typical of wanting both the bowl and the pot.
Ding Huan wouldn't indulge such people.
If those high-grade and mid-grade dao veins had grown completely, he would have extracted them all.
"Should we go to another place to extract?" Thick Trace rubbed his hands together.
"No need, we'll return for more after we've used up what we've taken." Ding Huan worried that extracting too much might lead to problems.
Now that they have cultivation resources, they should quickly enhance their cultivation.
