"Oh, it's a friend of mine, we met during Qi Cultivation, he was originally an heir to a Lord Country.

After being plotted against and losing his Lord Country, he embarked on the Dao path. I reckon his achievements now should far exceed mine."

Hou Yucheng thought of Mo Wuji, and was filled with emotion.

He had no idea which realm Wuji was in now, not a single piece of news.

He deeply missed the scenes of fighting side by side with Mo Wuji back then.

Only Mo Wuji could make him willingly transform into a Dao Principle of the Demon Path.

Hearing that it was an heir to a Lord Country, Ding Huan didn't pay much attention.

As for Hou Yucheng saying Wuji's achievements were far higher than his own, Ding Huan paid even less attention.

Hou Yucheng was someone who valued friendship greatly.

Even if his friends were inferior, he would praise them behind their backs.

He's someone with very high emotional intelligence and a generous spirit; being friends with him is never unpleasant.

Hou Yucheng's Great Dao is also exceptional. Cultivating the Demon Path to the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, that achievement should be much stronger than Hou Yucheng's. Could this be the Ninth Step?

On second thought, it's probably impossible.

"By the way, what's your friend's name?"

"Mo Wuji."

Ding Huan was taken aback, was the world this small?

"Is it the Mo Wuji who cultivates Mortal Dao?"

This time it was Hou Yucheng's turn to be surprised: "Ding Huan, you know Wuji too?"

After the initial shock, he smiled and said, "Well, once you cultivate to a certain level, everyone will end up going to the same places. It's not surprising to know each other."

Ding Huan laughed heartily, "Of course I know him, we even teamed up against a guy before. I just don't know where Wuji has gone now."

Hearing it was Mo Wuji, Ding Huan felt that Hou Yucheng's words didn't seem far-fetched.

After Mo Wuji perfected the Mortal Dao, his power definitely experienced a qualitative leap.

When Hou Yucheng heard that Ding Huan also knew Mo Wuji, he immediately felt even closer.

Indeed, like-minded people can become friends anywhere.

"Lao Hou, I plan to enter the Dao Tower for a trip. You stay outside to keep an eye on things. If I can't come out, leave immediately, and if you see Mo Wuji in the future, tell him about what happened here."

Mo Wuji was more composed than him, so he didn't need to say anything else.

Mo Wuji would definitely know what to do.

Ding Huan didn't pursue the matter further. Mo Wuji was an heir to a Lord Country, so he couldn't possibly be entangled with Earth.

In fact, even if he asked, Hou Yucheng didn't know where Mo Wuji truly came from.

Hou Yucheng shook his head, "Ding Huan, what do you take me, Hou Yucheng, for? If you're going into the Dao Tower, naturally I'll accompany you. How could I run away?"

Ding Huan patted Hou Yucheng's shoulder:

"Lao Hou, you can't even sense someone has marked you, yet you want to accompany me into the Dao Tower—are you trying to harm me?"

Hou Yucheng wasn't a petty person, so Ding Huan spoke frankly.

Hou Yucheng was stunned, it was true.

If he could enter the Dao Tower, why would he have wandered outside for all these years?

"But what if that Golden Robed Strongman comes over..."

Hou Yucheng was a bit worried.

Based on Ding Huan's demeanor, Hou Yucheng guessed that Ding Huan had likely stepped out on the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, making his strength much stronger than Hou Yucheng's.

Even if Ding Huan could contend with that Ninth Step of the Great Dao, what if that Golden Robed Strongman showed up, possibly someone beyond the Ninth Step, how would Ding Huan cope?

Could Ding Huan rescue someone from the Dao Tower without alarming those strongmen?

Ding Huan shook his head, "Lao Hou, I think you might be mistaken. That guy might not be beyond the Ninth Step, he could very well be using some sort of illusion technique.

Whether that's the case, you take me over to check it out, and I'll know right away."

"Alright, but even if you're going in, you should be prepared ahead of time. You just arrived here..."

Before Hou Yucheng could finish, Ding Huan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't worry, I've already scouted it today.

I'm not planning to enter the Dao Tower just to rescue someone. I intend to take the entire Dao Tower with me."

Ding Huan absolutely had no intention of merely entering the Dao Tower to rescue someone; his plan was to take down the entire Dao Tower.

"Ah..."

Hou Yucheng looked at Ding Huan, stunned.

The Dao Tower had entirely integrated into the Tongti Star Land, how could it be taken away?

If even the slightest disturbance was caused, Ding Huan would likely be besieged immediately.

"Ding Huan, you must not think like that, this isn't a game..."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "Lao Hou, if I don't think about taking the Dao Tower, that's the real danger.

I'll check again later to confirm my guess, and if I'm correct, then I can indeed take the Dao Tower."

Ding Huan was almost certain that the Dao Tower had an owner. If he alarmed the Dao Tower's owner, then rescue would be impossible.

Could he rescue without alarming the owner of the Dao Tower?

Impossible.

Even if he could rescue, it would be only begrudgingly.

Imagine if he left Source Universe City here and there were people trapped inside, who could enter Source Universe City and rescue them without him noticing?

So, only by pulling the Dao Tower into his own Tao Universe World would it be the safest.

The reason he had this confidence was because he sensed that the Dao Tower likely merged with Tongti Star Land through Source Principle.

That is a Position Realm.

He needed to confirm whether the golden-robed man mentioned by Hou Yucheng had left a Position Realm after leaving, which led Hou Yucheng to think that a piece of space had disappeared.

Seeing Ding Huan determined to proceed, Hou Yucheng could only give in.

Ding Huan took out the Dao Thought Mark separated from Hou Yucheng:

"Keep this with you. If I don't return, place this mark in your cave mansion, and then quietly leave Tongti Star Land on your own."

Ding Huan initially considered teaching Hou Yucheng how to learn the Position Realm.

After a moment's thought, he decided against it.

To learn the Position Realm, one must first study the Source Principle.

He had spent tens of thousands of years to evolve his first Source Principle.

He didn't have that much time to teach Hou Yucheng here.

"Alright, I'll go with you now." Hou Yucheng placed the Dao Thought Mark in the ring.

Ding Huan was going to enter the Dao Tower, so naturally, he couldn't carry this mark.

If the mark was blocked by Ding Huan, it would attract the attention of the person who placed the Dao Thought Mark. If it wasn't blocked, entering the Dao Tower would be even more dangerous.

After leaving Qianlong Dao City, Hou Yucheng shape-shifted, but Ding Huan did not.

For Ding Huan, once he succeeded, he would definitely be attacked, so it didn't matter whether he shape-shifted or not.

More than an hour later, the two arrived outside the Dao Tower again.

Hou Yucheng led Ding Huan to a vacant piece of land a bit away from the Dao Tower and transmitted, "Ding Huan, this is the place. There used to be a giant rock here.

After the golden-robed man came here, the giant rock disappeared. I'm sure he didn't take the rock but dug away this piece of space.

Because I compared the distance from the rock to the nearest tree, and it's about two zhang less than before..."

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned over, and he perceived the Position Realm here.

The level of this Position Realm wasn't very strong.

Although he hadn't known the Position Realm for long, he could easily break this kind of realm.

There were too many people here; Ding Huan didn't break this Position Realm, but merely transmitted to Hou Yucheng, "There's something set up here similar to a barrier, but more advanced. I call it a Position Realm.

The rock should still be here, just blocked by the Position Realm."

"Position Realm?" Hou Yucheng looked at Ding Huan with a face full of confusion.

This shattered his understanding of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan nodded, "Setting up a Position Realm requires understanding the Source Principle first. Most cultivators don't know about it because the higher-ups don't want to make the Source Principle and Position Realm public.

They believe the more they control, the more they can govern this Universe, hehe..."

Hou Yucheng nodded. Although he wanted to ask clearly, he knew this wasn't the place for teaching. After Ding Huan comes out of the Dao Tower, he could ask in detail.

In Tongti Star Land, the Dao Tower square was always crowded.

Waiting for people to leave before entering the Dao Tower was almost impossible.

The good thing about the Dao Tower is that anyone can enter without asking others' opinions.

The downside is that each cultivator can only enter once in a millennium.

So even though there's no restriction on entering the Dao Tower, no one would waste the opportunity. Generally, they enter only after thorough preparation.

Hou Yucheng watched as Ding Huan walked towards the Dao Tower, his hand involuntarily clenched tightly.

Although anyone can enter the Dao Tower, there was a fatal issue for him and Ding Huan.

That is, the ones who enter the Dao Tower must be cultivators practicing in Tongti Star Land.

Any cultivator entering the Dao Tower, even with the slightest different domain's Great Dao Rhythm, would be thrown out and trapped in the Void.

This was why Hou Yucheng didn't dare to enter the Dao Tower.

As long as he hadn't comprehended the Great Dao Rules here to merge his Daoist Rhythm with the Great Dao Rules of this world, he couldn't enter the Dao Tower.

Hou Yucheng had no idea if Ding Huan could deceive the Dao Tower.

After all, the Dao Tower was a Chaos Treasure.

To Hou Yucheng's surprise, Ding Huan did not immediately enter the Dao Tower but went to the Inquiry Monument in the Dao Tower square.

The Inquiry Monument was also part of the Dao Tower.

However, it was entirely for discovering talents.

The Dao Tower had a total of ninety-nine floors.

As long as one passed the fiftieth floor, they could leave their name on the Inquiry Monument.

All cultivators appearing on the Inquiry Monument would be fought over by the various Great Sects of Tongti Star Land.

Ding Huan stood by the Inquiry Monument for about an hour; within that hour, he set up a heap of Source Principle Dao Patterns around the monument.

In seizing the Dao Tower, he intended to take the Inquiry Monument as well.

While arranging the Source Principle Dao Patterns, Ding Huan felt even more confident.

He was certain that the Inquiry Monument had been integrated into Tongti Star Land's Void by the Source Principle Realm.

His Source Principle Dao Patterns were bound to form Source Principle Array Patterns in the shortest time and then separate the Inquiry Monument.

After setting up the Source Principle Dao Patterns, Ding Huan leisurely walked towards the Dao Tower.

For each step closer Ding Huan took to the Dao Tower, Hou Yucheng couldn't help but take a step forward.

What threw Hou Yucheng back into agony was that Ding Huan stopped again outside the Dao Tower.

He saw Ding Huan idly standing outside the Dao Tower for a while and then move to another place to linger for half a day.

It was all about not entering the Dao Tower.

This made Hou Yucheng more and more anxious, thinking that moving around like this outside the Dao Tower would sooner or later attract attention.

Didn't Ding Huan even realize this?
