Ding Huan immediately thought of the plaque he found in the Chaos Zone of the World of Gods, which also had the words 'pitiful' on it.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, the first thought would be that they understood the meaning left behind in Li Zhuojian's jade scroll.

It meant that they had always been living in someone else's Tao Universe World.

After all, reaching the Saint Realm, everyone possesses their own Tao Universe World.

Ding Huan's own Tao Universe World had even evolved into a Chaos Law Sea.

Moreover, his Source Heaven City was also condensed from his own Chaos Law Sea.

Therefore, understanding the Dao Scroll's meaning as living in a universe world where life and death were at the whim of another's thought seemed pitiful.

This wasn't surprising.

As for Li Zhuojian, because he came to this Vast Void.

He suddenly realized he had always been cultivating and living in another's universe world, every move monitored by the Master of this Vast Universe, and had the thought of being pitiful before his death.

Ding Huan initially had this thought too.

But after going to the World of Gods, he was sure that the Tao Universe World he had encountered before and came from was definitely not someone else's Tao Universe World.

Including the World of Gods, it definitely wasn't an individual's Tao Universe World either.

Ding Huan didn't know who Li Zhuojian was, but to have traversed from the Position Realm to this place before falling, he definitely would have this level of awareness.

So the pitiful left in Li Zhuojian's Dao Scroll couldn't be because they lived in others' worlds, feeling pitiful.

It must be for another reason.

Ding Huan first put away the ten Dao Pearls and that Dao Pillar.

He looked at the brilliant and beautiful Void Universe before him, a scene akin to a fairy tale world, and guessed that the real answer might lie deep within this Cosmic Void.

If not for his attachments, he might have gone to see it now.

He couldn't go yet as he had attachments.

It's a pity Li Zhuojian had passed, leaving only a few short words, and he couldn't derive more information from them.

Ding Huan stood beside Li Zhuojian's nearly weathered skeleton, permeating it with his Divine Will.

He quickly discovered a Positioning Pearl almost invisible to the naked eye, mixed within the skeleton.

If he hadn't specifically searched for it, he might not have found it.

Capturing the Positioning Pearl in his hand, under Ding Huan's Divine Will, a clear direction map manifested immediately.

The direction map mirrored the scene before him, with arrows clearly indicating the way.

Ding Huan cast another glance at the magnificent scenery of the distant void, then turned swiftly to re-enter that Position Realm space.

He obtained the Dao Pearls, the Dao Pillar, then saw Li Zhuojian's skeleton, acquired the Dao Scroll, and finally got the Positioning Pearl...

All this seemed exceedingly natural.

What hadn't Ding Huan seen over the years?

The more natural it seemed, the more suspicious it was.

Wasn't it urging him to follow the direction map? Precisely why he wouldn't go now.

If he were to follow the Positioning Pearl, he would find Qu Yi first.

Upon leaving this brilliant Cosmic Void, Ding Huan felt his unease slowly diminish.

Even though it was baseless, Ding Huan was still convinced the brilliant Cosmic Void he just saw wasn't someone's universe world either.

It was just an intuition.

So, after finding Qu Yi, he intended to return.

Crossing the Void Position Realm again, Ding Huan directly commanded the Cosmic Pot to fly according to the positional array while he entered his own Tao Universe World.

Now he needed to refine the Great Dao Disc.

The hardest part of the Great Dao Disc was assembling it.

Once assembled, refining it was almost effortless for Ding Huan.

In merely half a day's time, the Great Dao Disc completely integrated with his Taoist Will, becoming his magical treasure.

The next moment, an additional Taoist Scripture appeared in Ding Huan's consciousness.

Without hesitation, Ding Huan directly condensed this Taoist Scripture using the magical Dao Rhythm of the Great Dao Disc and then with the Chaos Stone.

Only by doing so, would the Taoist Scripture he condensed be unique.

A moment later, the Taoist Scripture he condensed bore four grand Dao Rhythm characters: Great Calculation Skill.

No matter if the prior 'Great Calculation Skill' was obtained by the leather scroll owner or not, from now on, the original Great Calculation Skill would permanently reside with him.

Those who previously held the 'Great Calculation Skill' would find their Taoist Scripture transformed into a 'Small Calculation Skill,' gradually dissipating in the vastness over time.

Just like the false Great Calculation Skill he obtained before.

At the same time, beyond the Endless Vastness, a gray-robed man stared at the Dao Scroll in his hand that gradually turned blank, his eyes filled with reluctance.

His Great Calculation Skill had vanished, and it was evident someone had perfected the Great Dao Disc and then re-condensed a new Great Calculation Skill.

To obtain the Great Calculation Skill again, he must retrieve the Great Dao Disc, refine it, and re-condense the Great Calculation Skill.

Unfortunately, a long time ago, he found the location of the Great Dao Disc, only to have it spoiled by a Tao Foundation creature he had nurtured.

He had cultivated many Tao Foundation bodies, all meant for condensing top-level flesh and Taoist Will for him.

This was the first Tao Foundation creature to escape his control.

His reluctance stemmed from knowing this was inevitable rather than wrath.

More than 200,000 years ago, after the other party's first Slaying Dao, his Great Calculation Skill couldn't accurately locate them anymore.

This indicated that the other's growth had exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, the other's Great Dao had already transcended this universe.

Even he couldn't achieve this.

After the opponent's second Slaying Dao, even the slightest traces vanished in his Dao Thought.

The man in the gray robe took a deep breath and murmured a few words: "Ding Huan, Ding Xiaotu..."

The only one who could perfect the Great Dao Disc and refine the Big Calculation Skill again was the Dao Gu flesh body Ding Huan that he had released.

A Dao Gu that he had cultivated, prepared to perfect his own physical body, ended up escaping his control.

In the end, not only did the Great Dao surpass him, but it also took away his Big Calculation Skill.

He could imagine that if he encountered Ding Huan now, it would take some effort to kill Ding Huan.

It should be noted that Ding Huan was just an average one among his many Dao Gu.

It's really so unsatisfying.

These achievements should all be his, and that flesh body was also nurtured by himself.

...

Ding Huan also could guess that once the 'Big Calculation Skill' appeared in his hands, the 'Big Calculation Skill' originally existing in this Vast Universe would vanish without a trace.

However, he couldn't manage these things now, his first priority was to study the Big Calculation Skill and then predict Qu Yi's whereabouts.

Five days later, Ding Huan put down the Big Calculation Skill with delight, he was sure that Qu Yi was still alive.

Moreover, he found the specific location of Qu Yi.

It's a pity he's not in the Fog Realm now.

If he were in the Fog Realm, the first thing he would do now is to extract the last two Creation Dao Principles from the Endless Void and upgrade his Cosmic Pot.

The level of the Cosmic Pot is too low, even with Ding Huan's full effort, it cannot meet Ding Huan's speed requirement.

A hundred years later, Ding Huan once more traversed several Cosmic Walls and finally stopped at a Void vortex.

The reason for not going in immediately was because Ding Huan sensed the Position Realm from this vortex.

It shows that the Position Realm doesn't necessarily exist outside that fairy tale-like Cosmic Void, it also exists in this Cosmic Void he resides in.

It's just that he didn't recognize it before.

If it weren't for the Position Realm trapping the Void, he wouldn't know even if he passed by.

His perception of Qu Yi requires passing through this Position Realm vortex.

Ding Huan suddenly felt a bit fortunate, if he hadn't been trapped in that Position Realm Void, he might not have been able to return after finding Qu Yi.

Similarly, Qu Yi could never return to this Cosmic Plane.

The existence of the Source Principle is like a secret among top-level cultivators, never spread out.

He sensed the existence of the Source Principle and evolved his own world's Source Principle, which is equivalent to breaking the secret of the top cultivators.

If they found out the Source Principle secret was leaked, they might have thought of surrounding and killing him first, right?

After leaving his Dao Thought Mark outside, Ding Huan rushed into this Void vortex.

...

Blue Star Island.

The atmosphere between Jia Baihe and Nian Huan was much more harmonious than before.

That's because Nian Huan knew that Jia Baihe was not a scheming person and was easy to get along with.

Also, in understanding the Great Dao, Jia Baihe never kept anything secret, she would tell everything she knew, which made Nian Huan have a good impression.

At their level of Dao cultivation, making further progress is extremely difficult.

Moreover, the two had nowhere to go, they simply didn't know more people.

Most of the time, the two were discussing Dao.

On this day, the two were discussing Dao.

A disheveled figure staggered to the entrance of Blue Star Island.

Nian Huan immediately recognized who it was, she rushed out and supported the person: "Sister Wan Rong, what happened to you?"

The person was Shi Wanrong.

At this moment, Shi Wanrong was covered in blood, her Taoist Rhythm was languid, and her Tao Foundation was unstable, even her Great Dao realm seemed about to fall.

"I was severely injured and left with a Dao Rhythm Imprint... Pu!"

Before finishing her words, a blood arrow spewed out.

Nian Huan immediately took Shi Wanrong and charged into Blue Star Island.

Blue Star Island is a barrier set by Ding Huan, capable of isolating Great Dao Thoughts.

Unless the opponent's understanding of the barrier and Great Dao Thoughts surpassed Ding Huan, it's hard to sense the Dao Thought Mark blocked by the barrier.

As soon as they entered Blue Star Island, Nian Huan began to strip away the eroding Dao Rhythm on Shi Wanrong.

Nian Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique, stripping Dao Thought Laws wasn't difficult for her.

In less than an hour, she stripped all the eroding Dao Rhythms from Shi Wanrong's body.

"What happened?"

Shi Wanrong caught her breath and said:

"I found my father, and he was captured and tortured. But I wasn't their match, so later I wanted to seek help from Senior Di He, and heard from Senior Hou Hen that Di He had gone to the Nine Heavens.

I didn't find Senior Di He, and by that time, they also targeted me and besieged me..."

If Shi Wanrong hadn't cultivated the Chaos Dao Technique and fled using the Chaos Body Technique, she probably would never have made it to Blue Star Island.

(Fellow Daoist, good night!)
