Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

"Senior, I have a body-shaping immortal material, it is a top-quality Yun Zhen Flower..." A Five Stars Daoist stood up in the transaction hall.

Ding Huan silently put away the Rule Soil: "Sorry, the Yun Zhen Flower is not enough for me to trade."

Suddenly, a secret message reached Ding Huan's ear: "It's impossible for you to find the three kinds of immortal materials you mentioned here, but I know someone who has them.

He is Xi Yuanhao, the Clan Leader of the Xi Yuan Family. It is rumored that he has a top-quality Nine Color Void Lotus, and Xi Yuanhao is currently not in the Great Dao Corridor; he will return in about a month..."

The Nine Color Void Lotus is indeed the Nine Color Immortal Lotus, which is the best among the three body-shaping treasures Ding Huan mentioned.

Without using Divine Will to sweep, Ding Huan knew the speaker was Widow Chang.

Widow Chang was completely providing him with information for free. Ding Huan nodded, and after sending thanks, he turned and left.

He owed Widow Chang a favor. If he found the Nine Color Void Lotus, he would give her the Immortal Emperor promotion slot.

He did not stay in this transaction hall but turned and left.

Before he could leave, he felt dozens of Mark of Divine Will placed on him.

Ding Huan thought to himself, despite the strict laws of the Great Dao Corridor, there are still so many who dare to place Divine Will marks on him.

It shows that no matter how strict the laws are, they can't stop the cultivators' determination to advance along the Great Dao.

It's not that there aren't people willing to take risks, but whether the stakes are high enough.

Moreover, with the semi-divine veins of two Daoist Skill academies being extracted, and the Master of the Immortal Surveillance Office not personally intervening, this is enough for some to forget the Ten Thousand Laws.

Ding Huan originally planned to wait for a while at the rest inn for Quinn.

Unexpectedly, shortly after he left the transaction hall, Quinn stepped out.

This surprised Ding Huan, as Quinn hadn't placed a Mark of Divine Will on him earlier.

It quickly became clear that Quinn had a legitimate reason to step out.

Because Quinn's transaction had ended, he could naturally leave the transaction hall.

Since Quinn was out, Ding Huan did not seek the rest inn and instead turned towards the outside of Masters Immortal City.

If Quinn was after his Rule Soil, he would follow him out. If not, he would go back to find this guy.

Indeed, Ding Huan felt the mark of Divine Will quickly approaching him; this guy was indeed after the Rule Soil.

As soon as Ding Huan left Masters Immortal City, he summoned a mid-grade Immortal Artifact, which, upon activation, swiftly carried him away from Masters Immortal City.

Within less than an hour, a top-quality flying Immortal Device sped in front of Ding Huan.

Ding Huan halted his flying treasure, watching Quinn, who also stopped his flying treasure and walked out.

Quinn cupped his fists: "Fellow Daoist, I really want your Rule Soil. I don't have any body-shaping immortal material, but I do have a treasure that is no less valuable."

Ding Huan replied coolly: "I only want body-shaping immortal materials, I am not interested in anything else."

Quinn frowned slightly, his Divine Will scanned Ding Huan, who appeared to be at the Immortal Venerable realm, though whether late-stage or consummate was uncertain.

He himself was also at the Immortal Venerable realm...

While Quinn was still weighing his strength against Ding Huan's, Ding Huan suddenly asked: "Where did you get the divine skill Daoist compendium replica?"

"You didn't know?" This time, it was Quinn's turn to be surprised.

Ding Huan nodded: "Indeed, I didn't know. I just came out of seclusion after ten thousand years. Can you tell me the origin of this compendium?"

Upon hearing Ding Huan had just emerged from seclusion, Quinn felt relieved. This wasn't a secret, so he explained:

"This time, during the Daoist Skill Academy competition held by the Great Dao Corridor, Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy made a stunning entrance, with eight disciples from the contest class winning four first places.

Everyone thought it was due to the ability of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's Daoist Ding Huan. But later, Ding Huan's disciple Ji Xing claimed it had nothing to do with their Daoist, and we learned the real reason..."

Ding Huan frowned slightly; he knew Ji Xing well enough to entrust him with the Teleportation Array Plate.

He didn't believe Ji Xing would utter such ungrateful words.

Even if Ji Xing indeed felt that way, he wouldn't say it. Such illogical emotional intelligence behavior wouldn't come from Ji Xing, who wasn't an idiot.

"Ji Xing said he had obtained a scroll of divine skill Daoist compendium, and all eight of them relied on this compendium to rapidly increase their cultivation and strength.

While their Daoist secretly took the compendium and fled, leaving them without a Daoist during the academy competition."

This reasoning was powerful; for any cultivator student participating in the academy competition, their Daoist, no matter how busy, would certainly be there during the competition.

The fact that Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's cultivator students were unaccompanied by their Daoist indeed raised questions.

Upon hearing this, Ding Huan sneered, fully comprehending the situation.

Wasn't it because Ji Xing and the others had won promotion slots for Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable?

The academy coveted these slots and wanted to control them.

Unwilling to hand over the slots for distribution, Ji Xing's firm stance angered the academy, leading to their conspiracy against them.

Indeed, Quinn continued:

"When the headmaster of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy, Yuan You, heard Ji Xing's words, he was furious, feeling that the eight had completely disregarded the principle of respecting and honoring their Daoist, acting ungratefully.

Ji Xing, instead of showing remorse, declared his intention to leave Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy. Headmaster Yuan You decided to follow the Ten Thousand Laws, out of respect for the Daoist, and punished the eight.

The secondary volume of my Daoist compendium was obtained from a transaction with a steward of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy."

Ding Huan's tone turned icy: "What was the punishment result?"

Originally still considering the comparison of strengths between himself and Ding Huan, Quinn felt a shiver at the ice-cold tone.

Though Ding Huan did not exert domain pressure, Quinn was now entirely certain he was not a match for Ding Huan, perhaps vastly inferior.

Quinn instinctively replied: "Ji Xing was stripped of his cultivation and expelled from Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy; his whereabouts are unknown.

Qian Xun Haoyi, Fan Qingsi resisted the verdict and were stripped of their cultivation, then spared by Vice Headmaster Gu Min's plea.

Long Xiyue was taken away by the Long Family Immortal Clan, Lin Zhenruo, and Lei Zuocheng were taken away by their respective Immortal Clans. Zhuo Qi and Li Yunmu disappeared after being expelled."

Fierce killing intent filled Ding Huan's chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Quinn sensed this killing intent; terrified, he glanced at Ding Huan, who had already vanished but whose voice echoed:

"Because you didn't place a Mark of Divine Will on me, I'll spare your life."

Quinn wiped cold sweat from his forehead, wondering who possessed such terrifying killing intent; a Six Stars Daoist?

Six Stars Daoists in the Great Dao Corridor are all well-known, how could such a powerhouse appear?

Quinn suddenly froze, realizing as he looked towards where Ding Huan disappeared.

It's Ding Huan, surely the Daoist of Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Ding Huan is a Six Stars Daoist and the fastest rising star in the Great Dao Corridor history.

In just one academy competition, Daoist Ding Huan advanced from apprentice Daoist to Six Stars Daoist.

The students taught by Daoist Ding Huan earned countless honors.

When Ding Huan left, he radiated intense killing intent, clearly going to settle the score with Yuan You.

Regarding Ding Huan's cultivation, rumors had it he was the Luo Tian Immortal.

This is more than Luo Tian Immortal; this is likely Immortal Emperor.

This is going to be interesting.

But no matter how strong Ding Huan is, he is just an Immortal Emperor at best. An Immortal Emperor seeking trouble with a Daoist Skill academy—is this choosing death slowly?

No matter the outcome, this kind of spectacle, he wouldn't miss.

...

Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Previously, it was merely a mid-tier Divine Power Academy.

After the Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's famed battle, despite the eight cultivator students who brought the academy honor being punished by the academy and the Immortal Surveillance Office for being ungrateful and immoral, the academy's reputation remained intact.

The academy's gatehouse expanded several folds and appeared grand and magnificent—clearly a top-tier academy's demeanor.

Now, countless cultivator students yearn to study at Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy.

Therefore, the academy's entrance is always crowded with people.

With limited slots, entry into the academy required the lavish use of Immortal Crystals, Immortal Spirit Vein, and even Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

At this moment, the academy's entrance was packed with cultivators from various places along the Great Dao Corridor.

Everyone's goal was the same, to enter the academy.

Although Daoist Ding Huan wasn't present, as long as the divine skill Daoist compendium remained, entering the academy meant learning valuable knowledge.

At this moment, a deeply oppressive killing aura engulfed this space.

The cultivators crowded at the academy's entrance fled in panic.

Such terrifying killing intent, if they slowed even a bit, the next moment they might be crushed to nothing by this aura.

They were relieved to find that despite the intensifying killing aura, they were able to escape, as if purposely allowed to leave, without being locked by the aura.

Boom! The killing aura finally struck from the void.

This was a long spear, enveloped in countless destructive energy, striking the academy's exquisite gatehouse.

The academy's grand gate and the floating "Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy" large golden characters turned to dust under the spear impact.

Under this spear, the academy's Protecting Array also got torn apart and collapsed.

A long spear canyon stretching thousands of feet carved through the street outside the academy, directly extending inside.

Brimming with reaper's destructive energy, the canyon marked death and annihilation.

It was only now that people realized what had happened.

Someone had torn through Eternal Desolation Divine Power Academy's gatehouse and destroyed its Great Dao Plaza.

In the history of the Great Dao Corridor, such explosive events had never occurred.
