Di He clasped his fists and sincerely said, "I indeed come from the Nine Heavens, but I'm not from any Taoist Sect, I'm just a Loose Cultivator who sneaked away from the Nine Heavens."

Ding Huan scrutinized Di He, "You, a Master of the Universe, snuck away from the Nine Heavens?"

The implication was that a Master of the Universe in the Nine Heavens is like an unrestrained existence, needing to sneak away?

Di He shook his head, "I'm actually just a tad short of being a Master of the Universe of the Seventh Step; this time, I'm aiming to complete my Seventh Step Great Dao."

Ding Huan puzzledly asked, "Mr. He, if I'm not mistaken, your Great Dao level isn't much different from Jian Zhen and Lou Poyi?

They are all Masters of the Universe, why is it that your Master of the Universe falls short by that little bit?"

Di He sneered, "They're also just a little short; do you think they don't know? They know, they're just pretending others don't."

"What exactly is that little bit missing?"

"The reason the Seventh Step is called the Master of the Universe is because one must establish their own Cosmic World and become the ruler of their own Cosmic World..."

Ding Huan, upon hearing this, thought inwardly that this division isn't very accurate.

According to Di He's words, he was already a Master of the Universe.

Because he had long constructed his Cosmic World and had already become the ruler of his own Cosmic World.

Could what he lacks be insufficient accumulation of the Great Dao?

Di He thought Ding Huan surely wouldn't understand the meaning of his words right now, so he continued to explain:

"Don't think constructing your own Cosmic World is so simple, because virtually every Saint constructs their own Cosmic World.

But for them to become Masters of the Universe, it's feared that they can never succeed."

Ding Huan understood what Di He meant, which was that there are differences between worlds and worlds, universes and universes.

The Cosmic World he constructed could be considered a true Tao Universe of the self.

Because in his Cosmic World, every rule, every Law was constructed and evolved by himself.

"In the Tao Universe World constructed by a Master of the Universe, all Heaven and Earth Rules must completely align with one's own aura, having no relation to the external world, and one must even control every rule in their own universe.

Otherwise, how can one become the ruler of their own universe?

And in the World of Gods, how many Masters of the Universe can achieve this? They perceive within the World of Gods, they prove the Dao within the World of Gods, using the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

In such circumstances, how can they make their Cosmic World Heaven and Earth Rules have no relation to the outside world?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Huan was somewhat puzzled.

Besides his Great Universe Technique, perhaps no one can do this?

He looked at Di He questioningly and asked, "Mr. He, according to what you said, who can construct a world with their own Heaven and Earth Rules?

To say nothing of constructing Heaven and Earth Rules, even deriving the myriad Magic Laws of the self's Cosmic World isn't such an easy task?"

Ding Huan said it's not easy, in fact, he's done it this way.

And because he did it this way, he knew it wasn't easy.

He could achieve this because when he was cultivating Qi, he began looking for ways to cultivate the Great Universe Technique, ultimately forging a Tao Foundation incomparable to others.

Most people...

No, it should be said nearly 100% when they initially cultivate, they rely on existing Cultivation Techniques.

Existing Cultivation Techniques are surely derived from the Heaven and Earth Rules of the current universe, no matter how one cultivates, it can never be detached from the scope of the current universe.

Including his Three Thousand Great Dao.

Take Jia Baihe and Qu Yi cultivating the Primordial Dao Technique, the Heaven and Earth Rules explained by this Primordial Dao Technique are merely the primordial aspect of the current universe, and not the primordial aspect of one's own universe.

Di He was stunned after hearing Ding Huan's words, it took him a while before he slowly said, "Mr. Qi, you're truly a genius.

My understanding of the Great Dao is not as thorough as yours; when I speak of Heaven and Earth Rules of one's own Cosmic World having no relation to the outside world, it wasn't quite what you meant.

But what you said seems even more thorough, more in line with what the Dao Ancestor says... impressive... it seems the Dao Ancestor does it this way too."

"So what do you mean?"

"After proving the Dao as a Master of the Universe in the Seventh Step, one must further perfect the Heaven and Earth Rules of one's own Cosmic World, making sure the Heaven and Earth Rules of one's own universe have no relation to external universes.

Simply put, it's the Great Dao Rules and Myriad Magic Laws of the Master of the Universe's own Cosmic Universe that only relate to themselves.

There are many ways to achieve this, the simplest is Slaying Dao, cutting off all the Mottled Great Dao Rules and Mottled Laws within one's own Cosmic World.

Actually, the most difficult is Slaying Dao, because no one can cut off all the Mottled Rules of their own universe. A single misstep could lead to a decline in cultivation, and even the Tao Foundation might be harmed.

Therefore, many choose Slaying Dao, but few succeed.

The second method is Washing Dao, since our cultivation involves absorbing Primordial Energy and perceiving Heaven and Earth Rules.

The Heaven and Earth Rules, Myriad Magic Laws constructed within one's own Tao Universe World will inevitably resemble the outside world's Heaven and Earth Rules.

Washing Dao involves using Treasures untouched by any Heaven and Earth Laws to wash away the Mottled Great Dao Rules and Mottled Laws from the self's universe.

The third way is peeling away, which is extremely lengthy, taking millions of years is considered ordinary.

Because all the rules and laws in your cosmic world contain mottled Dao rhythms, peeling them away one by one takes an incalculable amount of time."

Ding Huan finally understood.

The Heaven and Earth rules in one's own cosmic world, as well as the Great Dao rules comprehended by oneself, and the myriad laws that make them up.

They are not created out of thin air but are refined through the absorption of external primordial energy and the comprehension of external Heaven and Earth rules, so they inevitably contain the aura of external universe rules and laws.

To become the true Master of the Universe, these mottled rules in one's own cosmic world must be removed.

As long as the mottled Dao rhythm rules that contain the external world are removed from one's cosmic world, even if the Heaven and Earth rules are similar to the outside world, they wouldn't be influenced by external forces and would fully belong to oneself.

Achieving this is the mark of a true Master of the Universe.

"How do you know this?"

"The Dao Ancestor preaches in the Ninth Heaven. I heard it from him."

"Are there many Seventh Step Masters of the Universe like you in the Ninth Heaven? And with the Dao Ancestor teaching, why did you leave to do other things?"

"Not fewer than outside, because someone wants me dead, I had to escape from the Ninth Heaven. Even though I'm a Master of the Universe, many in the Ninth Heaven wish to kill me."

Not fewer than outside? And there are many who can kill Di He?

Does that mean in the Ninth Heaven, there are at least nine Masters of the Universe?

"Mr. He, since the strength of the Ninth Heaven is so formidable, why stay secluded there? Wouldn't it be better to come out and occupy the World of Gods?"

Di He chuckled: "Do you think they won't come out? Keep watching, they will, it's just not the right time yet."

Di He didn't say more, but it probably wasn't anything good.

From Di He's words, Ding Huan could discern that this guy had a poor relationship with the big shots of the Ninth Heaven.

"Who is the Dao Ancestor?"

"Hong Jun."

"Who in the Ninth Heaven has verified the Seventh Step Master of the Universe?"

"I don't care about that. I only care if I can step into the Ninth Step Dao to avenge my father."

"Alright, I recognize you as my partner, tell me what cooperation you're proposing, and I'll see if I'm interested." Ding Huan believed Di He was telling the truth.

Di He raised a hand and set up another soundproof restriction before whispering, "Mr. Qi, do you know what those Masters of the Universe are negotiating about?

They are negotiating how to obtain the chaotic rule pulp…"

"Chaotic rule pulp?" Ding Huan was puzzled.

He knew about the chaotic rule liquid, which is certainly excellent, having been auctioned in the Tao City a few years ago.

But this chaotic rule pulp, it's really the first time he's heard of it.

Di He knew Ding Huan hadn't heard of it, so he immediately explained:

"Chaotic rule pulp doesn't contain any Heaven and Earth Great Dao laws. It can't be stored using any magical treasure; once collected, it will immediately become mottled by the laws of all things.

Upon discovering chaotic rule pulp, it must be immediately sent into one's cosmic world and used to cleanse the mottled Dao principles of one's cosmic world."

"Is this the second method you mentioned for the Masters of the Universe to deal with mottled rules and principles, the Dao wash?"

Ding Huan inquired.

Di He affirmed: "Yes, there's nothing better than using chaotic rule pulp for the Dao wash.

Once the chaotic rule pulp is polluted by Heaven and Earth rules, it turns into chaotic rule liquid, which is only of average value.

The chaotic rule pulp can not only cleanse the Great Dao, removing mottled Dao rhythm laws, but also purify one's Dao root and stabilize the Dao foundation.

It's safe to say there's no treasure better than chaotic rule pulp, but alas, it can't be stored; once you see it, you have to use it immediately."

Ding Huan stated calmly, "Mr. He, according to what you said, the moment we see the chaotic rule pulp, it has already turned into chaotic rule liquid."

"No, trust me, turning chaotic rule pulp into chaotic rule liquid requires time and space. Mr. Qi, obtaining this information wasn't easy for me. Are you willing to partner with me?"

Di He's tone was full of anticipation; he chose Ding Huan and sincerely hoped Ding Huan would not refuse.

If this information leaked out, he'd have no choice but to eliminate witnesses.

"How do you know this?"

"It's my skill, revealing this equals exposing my divine skills. I can only tell you, we just need to act before those Masters of the Universe and obtain the chaotic rule pulp to succeed."

Ding Huan sighed, "Mr. He, this thing is very beneficial for you, but it's not so useful for me, as I'm still far from the Seventh Step."

Speaking this way, but Ding Huan clearly understood the immense utility of chaotic rule pulp for him.

Although all the Heaven and Earth rules in his Tao Universe world were evolved and constructed by himself, there was one point he couldn't erase; wherever he cultivated, the primordial energy absorbed carried external rules.

So he also needed chaotic rule pulp to cleanse out the mottled Dao rhythm.
