Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 800 - 793: Ding Huan Is Disappointed
Ding Huan collected all the Divine Spirit Veins and came over to Xing Ga's side.
Qian Yao seemed to have figured something out and gave an awkward smile to Ding Huan:
"Mr. Ding, earlier I somewhat wanted to use you. After teaming up with you to deal with Yue Jinya, I felt that cooperating with you was truly delightful.
Also, since Ga Daoist is friends with you, I hope we can let bygones be bygones."
Qian Yao was probing whether Ding Huan knew her true intentions.
The reason she didn't take action was that, even with the Qi Luck Dao Pearl, she couldn't attract Xing Ga to help her. To take out Ding Huan and seize his belongings alone seemed an unlikely opportunity.
Assuming Xing Ga wasn't lying, and Ding Huan could become a Second Transformation Saint from a minor Divine King within a thousand years, his strength might surpass hers sooner than later.
From Xing Ga's words just now, it seemed he intended to leave here with Ding Huan.
With an old fox like Xing Ga by Ding Huan's side, along with Min Yuan and Ding Huan's own cautious nature, she had no chance to strike.
Ding Huan looked at Qian Yao in surprise.
He was well aware of Qian Yao's desire for the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo.
Could this woman really give up the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo so easily?
"You really have no way to contact Quan?" Ding Huan blurted out.
Qian Yao was stunned, then immediately understood what Ding Huan meant.
She even instinctively took a step back.
She had always thought Ding Huan agreed for her to come along to use her to deal with Yue Jinya or Quan.
Only now did she realize that Ding Huan also intended to use her to lure Quan out.
"Did you guess my purpose?"
The conversation had reached such a point that continuing to pretend was meaningless, so Qian Yao asked directly.
Ding Huan didn't answer Qian Yao but instead looked at Xing Ga: "Lao Ga, earlier you didn't agree to Qian Yao's idea of dragging you into this, did you?"
Xing Ga laughed heartily: "Brother Ding, who do you think I am, don't you know? I acknowledged you as a friend, how could I possibly conspire with others against you?"
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Qian Yao completely gave up her thought of dealing with Ding Huan.
She, a Seventh Transformation Saint, couldn't crush Ding Huan, a Second Transformation Saint, so as much as she yearned for the Heavenly Opening Nine Paths Bamboo, she knew now it wasn't hers to take.
Ding Huan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.
Lao Ga, this sly old fox, insidious and treacherous, was by no means as noble as he claimed.
This guy wouldn't go to the extreme of sacrificing himself for a friend; quite the opposite, stabbing a friend twice was more likely.
What surprised Ding Huan was that when Qian Yao invited this guy to take action against him, this guy didn't team up with Qian Yao.
His original thought was that Qian Yao would contact Xing Ga and Quan, then the three would scheme against him.
He had already set the trap long ago.
First, there was the Void Trapping God Formation here, though that was merely for superficial confusion.
The real threat to the three was his plan to use the Eternal God Wheel once.
Earlier, the reason he left Xing Ga here was to give them time to negotiate against him.
Otherwise, why would extracting the Divine Spirit Veins take so long?
In the end, two unexpected things happened.
First, unexpectedly, Qian Yao couldn't contact Quan.
Second, unexpectedly, Xing Ga didn't agree to join forces with Qian Yao, causing his plan to collapse.
This left him scheming in vain for half a day, so he was quite disappointed in his heart.
He guessed even Xing Ga couldn't have imagined that the slash measuring tens of thousands of feet, drawn at 'Holy Talisman Dao,' was his real trump card.
It was meant to escort the three onto their final journey after the Eternal God Wheel posed a threat.
So that very slash was ultimately where the three would end up.
That Law's Sword Gorge contained not just the Poison Dao Law and various Slaughter Laws.
The truly lethal element in that Sword Gorge was the Endless Descent Law he had set up within it.
If they teamed up against him, he would immediately leverage the Void Big Array he set up, then hurriedly, with the Eternal God Wheel, blast the three into the Sword Gorge.
Even if he couldn't hurl them into the Sword Gorge, getting them beside it would activate his Descent Law.
Ding Huan didn't know exactly how formidable the Eternal God Wheel was, but he presumed that using it to force a Seventh Transformation Saint into the Sword Gorge was feasible.
If not, then the reputation of this Supreme Treasure would be hollow.
Once Qian Yao entered the Sword Gorge, she would be at his mercy.
Now that Qian Yao had backed off, he could only look at the Sword Gorge he had created and think to himself what a waste it was.
Who would have thought that in his anger, the slash at 'Holy Talisman Dao' was actually meant for dealing with Qian Yao?
"Mr. Ding, if Xing Ga Daoist and I teamed up against you, how confident are you in resisting?" Qian Yao asked, still somewhat unwilling in her heart.
Resist? Ding Huan sneered internally.
In the Void, he had no way to use the Sword Gorge to set up the Descent Dao; here, the Sword Gorge and trapping array with the Descent Dao had been prearranged.
Plus his Eternal God Wheel.
As long as the Eternal God Wheel lived up to its Chaos Treasure title, he was fully confident in taking down Qian Yao.
As for Xing Ga and Quan, he didn't even consider them a threat, not worth factoring in.
Ding Huan would never reveal his trump card.
He quickly said, "I would definitely escape at the first opportunity. Luckily, you're beautiful and kind-hearted, you didn't attack me."
Xing Ga coldly laughed internally. Based on his understanding of Ding Huan, if he and Qian Yao had attacked Ding Huan, and Ding Huan tried to escape, he'd find a pile of mud to crash into and self-destruct.
"Lao Ga, I'm planning to seek out Daoist Yishang. Are you staying in the Chunyi Divine Realm, or will you accompany me?"
Ding Huan meant that once he found Yishang, he would leave the Chunyi Divine Realm immediately.
Xing Ga said without hesitation, "Of course, I'm going with you."
The Heaven and Earth Rules of the Chunyi Divine Realm can no longer accommodate his upcoming power recovery. Staying here would mean idling and waiting for death.
"Mr. Ding, I'll go with you too. I swear I won't covet your possessions again."
Qian Yao had less contact with Ding Huan, but Xing Ga was still a Taoist Ancestor even if he was unreliable sometimes.
She trusted Xing Ga's insight; if Xing Ga chose to follow Ding Huan, it meant one thing: Ding Huan had a chance to find a Middle-level Universe.
She told Xing Ga she could find the Qi Luck Dao Pearl, but the prerequisite was she had to prove her way to Eternal Life Saint.
This was originally a Low-level Universe; how could she prove her way to Eternal Life Saint here?
The reason she had been wandering through the Void all this time was to find a place where she could prove her way to Eternal Life Saint.
After so many years without results, it would be better to follow Ding Huan and see what happens.
Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot: "Of course you can, come aboard. The more people, the stronger we are."
In fact, Ding Huan had no confidence at all in finding a Middle-level Universe; Xing Ga and Qian Yao both originated from High-level Universe.
Having them with him increased the chances tremendously of finding a universe with higher rules.
"Sect Master, may I also follow you and leave Chunyi Divine Realm?"
Kua Chen, who had been watching from the side, quickly came forward and bowed when he saw Lian Minyuan also board the Cosmic Pot.
Min Yuan looked at Kua Chen with a smiling face.
He wanted to see what Ding Huan planned to do?
Earlier, he had reminded Ding Huan that Kua Chen wasn't a good guy.
Ding Huan looked at Kua Chen until Kua Chen felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze; then Ding Huan casually said:
"What do you want?"
Kua Chen froze, then bowed again:
"Sect Master, I just think that Sect Master will definitely reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao in the future. By staying by your side, I hope to gain some benefits."
Even Qian Yao felt Kua Chen was being straightforward about his intentions without any false pretenses.
Such people easily gain others' trust.
Ding Huan uttered "oh": "Your current cultivation is still too low. Following me might be a bit of a reach."
Kua Chen quickly said, "I'm currently in the late stage of the God Unification Realm. Given a little more time, I will definitely prove my way to Quasi-Saint..."
Ding Huan let out a cold laugh: "So you think I'm blind? Your cultivation is at the Four Transformation Saint Realm, and in my eyes, it's still not enough.
You even hide your cultivation to the God Unification Realm, how bold must you be to think a God Unification Realm qualifies to stay by my side?"
Kua Chen's mind buzzed.
He hid his cultivation, even Yue Jinya couldn't see through it, how did Ding Huan discover it?
"If it weren't for the absence of past grievances between us, I would have slashed you today. Now get out."
Ding Huan scornfully berated him.
Whenever Kua Chen appeared before him, he felt uncomfortable.
Even if Kua Chen hadn't concealed his cultivation, Ding Huan wouldn't keep him by his side.
Bringing Qian Yao along at least her strength can be useful.
If there weren't any grudges between him and Kua Chen, he would truly want to take him out with a single strike.
Kua Chen dared not argue anymore and hurriedly retreated for fear that Ding Huan might slash him.
Ding Huan's combat power was clearly visible to him.
If he were locked in by that arrow just now, there would be no escape.
"So this guy is a Four Transformation Saint?" Qian Yao stared at Kua Chen's retreating back, her mind full of shock.
She also hadn't realized Kua Chen's true cultivation.
But then she thought, if she couldn't see through Kua Chen's cultivation yet Ding Huan could, this meant Ding Huan's Great Dao is indeed fearsome.
If not sensitive to a certain degree about the Great Dao Law and Heaven and Earth Rules, it would be impossible to discern Kua Chen's true strength.
Qian Yao instinctively glanced at Xing Ga.
She couldn't discern Kua Chen's real cultivation, but Xing Ga, being a Taoist Ancestor, should be able to, right?
Xing Ga awkwardly smiled: "If it weren't for Brother Ding Huan's reminder, I would not have realized Kua Chen was hiding his cultivation.
This guy's technique for concealing his cultivation is truly remarkable, it's almost perfectly fused with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Rules, without any sign of discrepancy."
Confident that Yishang would not come, Ding Huan resolutely activated the Cosmic Pot and headed towards the chaotic region of the Chunyi Divine Realm.
Xing Ga mentioned Yishang went to the Chaos Zone, so he decided to go and see now.
The Cultivation Technique Yishang practiced was the Five Elements Dao given by him. As long as Yishang had cultivated in the Chaos Zone, he might sense it.
"Brother Ding Huan, can I ask you something?" Xing Ga quietly approached Ding Huan and whispered.
Ding Huan looked at Xing Ga curiously: "Lao Ga, if there's something to say, just say it straight, being sneaky isn't much like your style."
