Ding Huan planned to retreat here for a long time, so he was extremely meticulous in setting up the barrier.

He spent a month setting up the barrier for this little place.

After the barrier was completed, Ding Huan implanted the top-grade Dao vein drawn from Wen Shi's cave mansion.

Not only that, he also implanted ten top-quality Dao veins.

Once the Spirit Gathering Array was activated, the space was instantly filled with an extremely dense Primordial Qi.

Ding Huan sat on the boulder, his whole being presented an ethereal state.

This space, almost approaching a state of lawlessness, was truly perfect for him.

Ding Huan felt very grateful to Shi Changxing, he had not helped Shi Changxing in vain.

This cultivation space alone was reason enough to save Shi Changxing a few more times.

If Shi Changxing knew these thoughts of Ding Huan, he would probably cry, realizing that he was only worth being saved.

However, Ding Huan quickly set aside these thoughts, diving deep into contemplation on his own Great Dao and the future direction of the Dao.

Although he hadn't planned on meeting Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu to further enhance his cultivation, both of their insights had greatly inspired him.

They believed that the difference between a Daoist Saint and an ordinary Dao-proving Saint was not fundamentally due to the disparity in the Dao itself.

The strength and weakness of the Dao were crucially reflected in the origin of the Dao.

Ding Huan agreed with this point.

The existence at the center of Chaos reached ahead on the path of the origin Dao due to cultivating there.

Therefore, his Dao was a step ahead and could perceive the most intense Dao Thought, making him incomparably stronger than others.

Lan Xiaobu further questioned the worthiness of being a Daoist Saint, considering it a burden, which made Ding Huan somewhat confused.

Because, from his understanding of the Daoist Saint, they seemed superior to ordinary saints.

Only in the World of Gods could one express Dao thoughts and perceive one's own Dao Dao thoughts.

In other places, due to the constraints of the Heaven and Earth Rules, understanding one's own Dao Dao thoughts was difficult.

In essence, perceiving the direction of one's future Dao was very challenging.

To express Dao thoughts in the World of Gods...

Ding Huan repeatedly pondered this phrase.

As if a bomb exploded deep in his consciousness, Ding Huan vaguely understood something.

Lan Xiaobu wasn't saying that being a Daoist Saint was wrong, but questioning the origin of Dao thoughts.

It was like when he proved the Dao as a Wuque Saint in the World of Gods.

The World of Gods wasn't his own.

When he expressed his own Dao thoughts in the World of Gods, was it to inform the Heaven and Earth Rules in the World of Gods that Ding Huan had comprehended the Wuque Saint, and today intends to prove the Wuque?

Or was he pledging allegiance to the Heavenly Dao of the World of Gods?

Proving his Dao under the World of Gods through Dao thoughts?

Ding Huan slapped his forehead.

Thankfully, he talked with Shi Changxing about some directions of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how he would eventually perish.

Previously, he had smugly thought of himself as at least someone who proved a theorem.

In reality, he was nothing.

The World of Gods might not belong to the strong entity deep in Chaos.

But that strong entity in the deep Chaos of the World of Gods must have some connection with the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

Just like he was on the Blue Star Divine Land.

The other's influence on the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods even surpassed his influence on the Blue Star Divine Land.

Even if he proved the Dao to the Ninth Step in the World of Gods, he was still within their setup.

Previously, he could only vaguely perceive that even after proving the Dao to the Ninth Step, he still wouldn't be a match for them, without understanding why.

Now he understood.

Because he proved the Dao in the World of Gods and had to express his own Dao thoughts there.

Therefore, what Lan Xiaobu said was correct.

To prevent one's Dao thoughts from becoming a burden, one has to sever these Great Dao thoughts.

To escape the constraints of the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

There is nothing wrong with Dao thoughts, but they should not be expressed in the World of Gods.

The Fog Realm is likely a unique existence, hence its very peculiar Heaven and Earth Rules, being unrelated to each other.

Many Seventh Steps in the Fog Realm probably came here knowing something.

Ding Huan took a deep breath, feeling very excited internally, but he knew this was just the beginning.

There were still many things he didn't understand.

Slaying Dao requires slaying the Dao, but after slaying, how the Great Dao should proceed, he had not yet figured out.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu went to seize the Creation Dao Law and must have known how to prove the Dao after obtaining it.

But he didn't know that yet.

Not knowing was alright; he could simulate it.

If he acquired the Creation Dao Law, what would be the first thing he wanted to do?

Naturally, he would use the Creation Dao Law to try and comprehend the origin Dao of the Vast Universe, at least to stand on the same starting line as the strong being at the center of Chaos in the World of Gods.

Perhaps Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu thought the same way...

Ding Huan furrowed his brow.

Why should he think the same as Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu?

Besides, he was just guessing if Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu thought that way.

The strong being at the center of Chaos in the World of Gods is very powerful, but one cannot overlook the fact that his ability to achieve this was not because he was smarter or more talented than others.

It's because this guy has better luck than others.

At the beginning of the vast cosmos, this guy obtained the first breath of vastness.

Not only that, but even the Creation Dao Principle that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu are striving for might be easily within his reach in this guy's eyes.

Even so, this guy is not the creator of the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

To be precise, this guy can at best be considered a spokesperson for the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

Ding Huan's Daoist words in the World of Gods would at least be constrained by the World of Gods.

If this guy is a spokesperson for the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods, then it would mean being constrained by him.

So he doesn't have to be like that powerhouse in the depths of the chaos; he can be one level higher than the other party.

Straightforwardly becoming the formulator of the Heaven and Earth Rules.

And he has always done this.

The reason why he wanted to prove the Dao of the Fifth Step Wuque Saint in the World of Gods was because the growth of his Tao Universe World couldn't keep up with the progress of his cultivation.

This is unrelated to his Cosmic World, but related to his own cultivation method and attitude.

Because of subconscious influences and the influence of many people around him.

Believing the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods are the strongest, being the very center of the vast universe.

Hence, he proved the Dao of the Fifth Step here.

Ding Huan took a deep breath.

He confirmed the direction of his Great Dao.

He wants to become the formulator of the Great Dao Rules, not to cultivate under others' imposed Heaven and Earth Rules.

Whether this formulator is a person or the Heavenly Dao, or if it's just how the vastness has always been, it's all the same.

Since that's the case, what's there to hesitate about?

The first step is Slaying Dao.

His Dao itself is very pure.

The so-called Slaying Dao is merely cutting off the established Daoist words and then starting a new Dao journey by perfecting his own Cosmic World Rules.

Daoist words can exist.

However, Daoist words are not issued to prove one's Great Dao to the external Heaven and Earth Rules.

Ding Huan did not intend to cut off the Daoist words established when he became the Saint of Words because during that time, the path he walked was always correct.

When he established the Dao of the Saint of Words, the Daoist words he issued were not to prove anything to the Great Universe but were issued for his own Dao Heart.

It was just that when he proved the Dao of Wuque Saint, he went in the wrong direction, eager to leverage the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods to prove the Dao, so the Daoist words issued were oriented toward the Heaven and Earth Rules of the World of Gods.

Fortunately, he awakened now; otherwise, he would have been inevitably constrained in the future.

Under the Great Universe Technique Circulation, Ding Huan resolutely severed his Wuque Great Dao.

One after another, Great Dao Principles were cut away by Ding Huan, and Ding Huan's aura crazily plummeted.

Ding Huan wouldn't worry that his Dao Rhythm couldn't be completely severed; he himself possesses the Chaos Law Sea.

All heaven and earth laws within his own Cosmic World are evolved from himself, making Slaying Dao much easier for him compared to others.

In just one day, Ding Huan completely severed the Fifth Step Wuque Great Dao Law and the Great Dao Principles constructed with the Wuque Great Dao.

All mottled Dao Rhythm Laws were cast into the Chaos Law Sea, turning to void.

After Slaying Dao, logically, it should be elevating cultivation back to the fifth step.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy here was thick, and the mottled regulations within this space were nearly nonexistent.

With the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy here, Ding Huan estimated that he would be able to reconstruct the Wuque Great Dao within decades and then aspire to the Sixth Step True Saint.

Clearly having planned what to do next.

Yet, Ding Huan did not continue to impact the Wuque Saint Great Dao but frowned as he sensed his own Great Dao Rhythm.

After severing the Fifth Step Wuque Saint Great Dao, Ding Huan's Great Dao Laws could be said to be pristine, without a trace of mottled Dao Rhythm aura.

But he always felt it wasn't enough.

Where exactly was it lacking?

Time slowly passed, and the Great Universe Technique still continually performed cycles.

Because Ding Huan did not opt to elevate his cultivation, he continuously and repeatedly sensed his own Dao Principles, Dao Rhythm, and everything within the Cosmic World's heaven and earth laws...

Thus, an elliptical Dao Cocoon gradually formed around Ding Huan.

Thousands of years flew by in an instant.

When the Great Universe Technique once again completed a circulation, Ding Huan took a deep breath.

He raised his hand and planted all of his top-grade Dao Veins and high-grade Dao Veins.

Simultaneously, his Dao Rhythm rolled, one after another of his own Dao Rhythms and Great Dao Principles being severed by him.

He finally no longer harbored any fluke mentality.

This time he intended to thoroughly sever his own Great Dao and start over.

The reason was within that range from the beginning of cultivation to the twelfth stage of Qi Cultivation.

Although he only began Foundation Establishment after creating the Great Universe Technique, that existence at the center of chaos in the World of Gods was from the start swallowing the aura of the vast universe's creation.

His Dao should be without issue.

The issue lies in that his enemies are too strong, so he must grow stronger.

The reason for the previous hesitation lay in fear and reluctance.

Stepping forward step by step to today was not an easy matter.

Every advance in the Great Universe Technique was obtained through blood.

In the matter of Slaying Dao, a small mistake could lead to a fate worse than death.

Because he might never regain his current cultivation, and might even be unable to open up his own Tao Universe World.

But if he cannot deal with that supreme existence at the center of chaos, what use would stronger cultivation and power be?

Early death or late death is all the same; since that's the case, why not cleanly sever and start anew?
