Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 795 - 788: Reaching an Agreement
Qian Yao was clearly a Seventh Transformation Saint, yet Ding Huan could sense the weak points in the Dao Rhythm of his opponent.
The Breaking Tribulation Blade transformed into Sword Light that tore through the firmament, crashing against Qian Yao's disc.
The spot where the Breaking Tribulation Blade struck was precisely the weak point in the killing Dao Rhythm of Qian Yao's disc.
Boom!
The Dao Rhythm shattered, and the infinite Great Dao Rules were blasted into fragments.
Ding Huan felt his own domain fracturing inch by inch.
Then his whole body felt as if it had been struck by a colossal giant's fist to the chest, spewing a Blood Arrow as he was sent flying.
Ding Huan, still in the Void, forcibly brought himself to a stop.
He took a deep breath.
At this moment, Ding Huan was acutely aware that there was still a gap in power between himself and the woman before him.
If he hadn't stepped into the Second Transformation Saint, if he hadn't comprehended those profoundly mysterious changes in Divine Skills.
The opponent's disc killing Dao Rhythm could have torn his physical body apart.
However, it was unlikely that this woman could kill him.
With his organs shattered, under the operation of the Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan's injuries rapidly healed.
As for Min Yuan, upon seeing Ding Huan being blasted away, he quickly fled far away.
Fortunately, he had some scruples and didn't immediately activate the Break Position Talisman.
After seeing that Ding Huan was fine, he cautiously circled back.
Ding Huan pretended not to see it.
From the first glance at Min Yuan, he knew what kind of person this Great Saint was.
Taking Min Yuan from Blue Star Divine Land was not only about leveraging Min Yuan's vast knowledge but also to prevent this guy from causing trouble on Blue Star Divine Land.
After all, this guy's strength was the greatest on Blue Star Divine Land.
Qian Yao, whose Dao Rhythm was also shattered, was pushed back, and her domain showed cracks. She stared aghast at the blood-spitting Ding Huan.
She clearly sensed that Ding Huan's strike had hit the weakest point of her Divine Ability Rhythm.
Even if Ding Huan were a Ninth Transformation Saint, he shouldn't have known the weak point of her Great Dao.
This was utterly shocking.
If Ding Huan's cultivation improved slightly, how would she have any escape?
But she also understood clearly that she couldn't kill Ding Huan.
This was an intuition.
A Second Transformation Saint could make her, a Seventh Transformation Saint's domain crack, and this Great Dao was definitely not weaker than those Taoist Ancestors of the Great Universe.
She had to know she was almost at full force for the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo earlier.
"Give me that bamboo, name your terms." Qian Yao did not continue her attack.
She was someone who prioritized benefits above all.
If spending schemes and efforts only resulted in backfire, what was the point of fighting?
She again sensed that this young Second Transformation Saint was of the same ilk as those two terrifying young cultivators from before.
If she couldn't kill him today, she would offend a strong figure who might claim the peak in the future.
This could only harm Qian Yao, not benefit her.
As for whether she'd encounter Ding Huan in the future, she had no doubt she would.
Because any cultivator, upon reaching the pinnacle, would gather in the same place.
That is the place of the highest level of the Universe, just like the previous Great Universe.
Though the Great Universe collapsed under the Calamity, there definitely are places akin to the Great Universe in the vastness.
And such places wouldn't be too numerous.
So long as their cultivations continued to rise, she would still encounter him in the same place in the future.
Ding Huan mocked looking at the woman before him: "You want me to give you the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo? Are you delusional or are you my woman?"
"You recognize the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo?" Qian Yao stared at Ding Huan in shock.
How could a cultivator from a Low-level Cosmic Plane recognize such a thing as the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo?
Immediately she thought of Ding Huan's Great Dao; could this young cultivator before her also be a reincarnated mighty power?
Ding Huan did not pay attention to the woman; her sense of superiority was simply too overwhelming.
Sensing Ding Huan's disdain, Qian Yao slowly said: "If you give the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo to me, I could become your woman."
With the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo, Qian Yao was certain she would tread upon the peak of the Great Dao.
What do some gains and losses matter?
"Too bad I'm not interested in you." Ding Huan didn't give Qian Yao any face.
A flicker of murderous intent flashed across Qian Yao's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"My Dao companion was a Taoist Ancestor back then, and now I agree to be your woman. It is not a loss." Qian Yao slowly said.
Ding Huan laughed softly: "Oh, is that supposed to be impressive? So what if he's a Taoist Ancestor? I don't hold it in any regard either."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Qian Yao was not angry.
She looked at Ding Huan speechlessly: "Ignorance is fearless. If you knew what a Taoist Ancestor truly is, how strong a Taoist Ancestor's power is, you likely wouldn't say such a thing."
Ding Huan casually replied: "I know a few Taoist Ancestors as well; Xing Ga is my little brother, and Chuan, upon seeing me, can only flee far away.
I've heard they are all Taoist Ancestors of one realm, so what? Your paramour is better than other Taoist Ancestors?"
Qian Yao looked at Ding Huan in a daze, and after some time, she was shocked and said: "You know Xing Ga Taoist Ancestor and Chuan Taoist Ancestor?"
This time, she did not believe Ding Huan was lying.
Because Xing Ga and Chuan are indeed Taoist Ancestors, who stand on equal footing with the Taoist Ancestor Di Lan she spoke of.
Ding Huan still did not answer her.
At this point, Qian Yao instead calmed down, looking at Ding Huan: "Do you know where Xing Ga Taoist Ancestor and Chuan Taoist Ancestor are?"
"What? You want to go find them?"
"That's right, if you're willing to take me to find them, I'd be immensely grateful."
"Sorry, I plan to take out Quan. Since you know Quan, I definitely can't take you." Ding Huan used the conversation to buy time and fully recovered from his injuries.
Take Qian Yao to the Chunyi Divine Realm? What a joke.
Ding Huan suspected that the person who acted against the Blue Star Academy in the Chunyi Divine Realm might be Yue Jinya or Quan.
Only these two could pose a threat to Xing Ga, making him sneak away without a peep.
As for whether Xing Ga ran away, Ding Huan didn't need to ask You Yun.
When Yishang, a Second Transformation Saint, was overwhelmed at the Blue Star Academy, Xing Ga didn't step out, which clearly meant he fled.
Qian Yao looked at Ding Huan: "So, you and Xing Ga are quite close?"
"That's right, Xing Ga is my little brother."
Qian Yao mocked: "But in the Great Universe, Xing Ga's status is far inferior to Quan. Among the ten Taoist Ancestors in the Great Universe, Xing Ga ranks last and has to be respectful to everyone he meets."
Ding Huan was taken aback.
Xing Ga seemed so impressive; who would have thought he mixed so poorly?
If Xing Ga knew Ding Huan thought he mixed poorly, he'd probably spit out an old mouthful of blood.
He, Xing Ga, is a Taoist Ancestor, a Taoist Ancestor!
Even if he's doing poorly, he's still one of the ten most prestigious people in the Great Universe.
"I have important matters with Xing Ga, and I have no ties with Quan, merely an acquaintance."
Worried that Ding Huan might not believe her, Qian Yao added.
After a moment of silence, Ding Huan spoke: "Taking you to Quan and Xing Ga isn't impossible, but I have a grudge against Quan, can you help me?"
Qian Yao thought to herself, isn't helping you a simple task?
You just need to give me the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo.
However, she figured Ding Huan was unlikely to hand over the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo to her.
She must obtain the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo, but she couldn't mention it now.
To obtain the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo, it must be seen first.
"If Quan's strength isn't beyond mine, I can help you," Qian Yao said after weighing the pros and cons.
Ding Huan nodded: "If it's not Quan but still someone opposing me, would you help?"
Besides Quan, the other person Ding Huan worried about in the Chunyi Divine Realm was Yue Jinya from the Holy Talisman Path.
"I would, provided I can meet Xing Ga and Quan," Qian Yao confirmed again.
She needed to follow Ding Huan.
She indeed had business with Xing Ga and Quan.
More importantly, if she parted from Ding Huan now, she might completely lose the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo.
The Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo was already reserved for her, just temporarily held by Ding Huan.
As long as Ding Huan agreed to bring her, she'd have a chance to seize the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo.
"What if you break your word? What will you do?" Ding Huan asked.
Qian Yao sneered; this was forcing her to swear an oath.
A mere Second Transformation Saint dared to force her, a former Eternal Saint, to swear an oath.
"If I break my word, I will collapse in the Great Dao," Qian Yao said carelessly.
Her strength and mastery of the Heaven and Earth Rules far exceeded Ding Huan's.
Besides, this is a low-level cosmic plane; how could Ding Huan force her to swear?
But just as she finished speaking, she immediately sensed a Heaven and Earth Rule.
This Heaven and Earth Rule was extremely subtle, dissipating in a moment.
Yet it made Qian Yao's heart sink, making her suspect her oath resonated with her Great Dao.
But after operating her Tao Technique, there was no effect.
How did Ding Huan achieve this?
Whether he did or not, she didn't swear not to harm Ding Huan, only to help him.
She's indifferent about helping Ding Huan; what matters is the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo.
Even if the vow were kept, she wouldn't lose anything.
Ding Huan noticed Qian Yao's expression darkened briefly but then returned to normal, which relieved him.
How could he influence the Heavenly Dao of this Void?
Even if he could influence the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao Rules here wouldn't significantly affect Qian Yao.
He merely repaired the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Blue Star Divine Land, gaining some touch with the Heavenly Dao Rules.
Thus, Qian Yao's oath merely moved the Heaven and Earth Laws of space.
This kind of oath would affect Qian Yao but couldn't truly affect her Great Dao.
Having reached an agreement, Ding Huan waved at Min Yuan slowly approaching from afar.
Min Yuan saw that Ding Huan and Qian Yao seemed to have agreed, and cautiously approached: "Sect Master."
Bring a Break Position Talisman, we're going to the Chunyi Divine Realm.
This time, Min Yuan didn't hesitate and quickly brought a Break Position Talisman to Ding Huan.
Even Qian Yao was astonished; in her eyes, this Second Transformation Saint was merely an ant.
She didn't expect this ant to be so wealthy, able to produce a Treasure like a Break Position Talisman at any time.
Not just Qian Yao, Ding Huan admired Min Yuan as well.
In terms of cultivation, that's just how he was, and his strength wasn't impressive.
But the variety of things he possessed was numerous; how he accumulated them, Ding Huan had no idea.
If cultivators compared wealth accumulation, Ding Huan estimated this Min Yuan could prove himself to be the top tier of strong cultivators.
