Chapter 807: Crossing Great Wheel Mountain
Is it necessary to climb over such a colossal peak before him?
Ding Huan looked at the towering peak ahead, which even his Divine Will couldn't scan to the top, hesitated for a moment, and decided to set up a teleportation array first.
Not only did he want to set up a teleportation array, but he also wanted to place it in a secretive location.
To make his teleportation array more stable.
Ding Huan not only used top-grade materials but also used an Innate Treasure as the array core.
He didn't know if this teleportation array could be used in the future, but what if it could?
Previously in the Great Dream Desert, it was because he had set up a teleportation array in advance that he could leave the desert so easily.
Even Meng Chuan had to cooperate with him to leave the Great Dream Desert.
In Ding Huan's view, before doing anything, one must first plan their retreat.
Unless there is really no retreat to choose from.
This was his possible retreat, and it took Ding Huan a whole month to set up this teleportation array.
Although he didn't know if this teleportation array would work, once it was set up, Ding Huan felt a lot more at ease.
This is the difference between having a retreat and not having one.
After hiding the location of the teleportation array using a concealing restriction, Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot to rush towards the mountain range blocking his path like a giant dragon.
Even while in the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan remained extremely cautious and careful.
He had encountered too many dangers beforehand.
As expected, after only two days of peace, on the third day, Ding Huan sensed a huge crisis.
Ding Huan frantically used his Divine Will to try and steer the Cosmic Pot out of harm's way.
Boom!
Even though Ding Huan had maneuvered the Cosmic Pot to avoid the immediate space, a deafening sound that almost tore the Cosmic Pot apart still reached him.
Even standing on the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan felt a series of tremors.
Ding Huan immediately stopped the Cosmic Pot.
A deep groove appeared at the rear of the Cosmic Pot.
The intense Time Law aura made Ding Huan realize that the Cosmic Pot was almost torn apart by time displacement.
If spatial displacement makes all cultivators despair, then temporal displacement might not even allow time for despair.
Ding Huan didn't expect to encounter time displacement.
The defensive formation he placed around the Cosmic Pot included not only Space Dao array patterns but also Time Dao array patterns.
However, both the Space Dao and Time Dao forbidden patterns were insights he had comprehended on his own.
Thankfully, he had these, otherwise, his Cosmic Pot might have been torn apart.
Time can erode all existence.
No matter how strong his Cosmic Pot was, it couldn't have held up in the face of endless time passing rapidly and different time displacements.
Although the Cosmic Pot was damaged, it could still fly, but Ding Huan was reluctant to use it.
He stored the Cosmic Pot into his own world, extending his Divine Will outward.
If the Cosmic Pot were caught in a time displacement, he wouldn't be able to escape either.
Since that was the case, he might as well use Heart Escape for reassurance.
Using Heart Escape, even if he encountered danger, he could evade it in the first instance.
Without the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan dared not push Heart Escape to its limits, and his speed dropped significantly.
Ding Huan maintained a calm mindset; he was able to settle down for hundreds of years while comprehending law fragments in the Void Canyon.
Traveling slower was merely a minor issue and wouldn't make him anxious.
Time passed as Ding Huan journeyed on.
Throughout the process of climbing the colossal peak, Ding Huan encountered time displacements more than once.
Because he was prepared, he avoided all these displaced spaces.
In addition to time displacements, there were spatial displacements, chaotic law spaces...
But nothing as dreadful as the Black Insect Swarm.
These spatial and time displacements, even chaotic law spaces, were mostly things he could avoid.
There were also transmission spaces — if he couldn't identify them and stepped in, he wouldn't know where he would be transported next.
Fortunately, in Ding Huan's Great Dao World, the Space Law Star River had long been formed.
Furthermore, the Space Dao had also taken shape.
Every transmission space was clear as day to Ding Huan's Divine Will.
He could always avoid these dangers in time.
Thirty years later, Ding Huan stood atop the peak.
On the summit, he saw a stone tablet with three characters carved: Great Wheel Mountain.
Behind the stone tablet of Great Wheel Mountain, there was a small natural stone pool, with more than a hundred gray spirit plants growing around it.
These spirit plants were less than half a meter tall, entirely gray-white, and had only seven leaves from bottom to top.
They resembled the Seven Realms Flower, one has seven blossoms, the other seven leaves.
Every leaf had intricate Dao Patterns, complex and profound, which circulated in a highly orderly manner as though they had been inscribed there.
Ding Huan couldn't determine the grade of these spirit plants, but from the fluctuation of their Dao Rhythm, there seemed to be a reincarnation aura.
Their level exceeded that of a ninth-level Divine Spiritual Grass.
Ding Huan was not one to be polite, and he collected all the mature spirit plants into his world.
After searching around, besides some bones that hadn't completely eroded, there really wasn't anything valuable here.
Before heading down the mountain, Ding Huan set up another teleportation array.
He still didn't know what the place he was about to go to would be like, so he had to secure his retreat.
The descent took less time, yet it still took Ding Huan more than ten years.
As soon as he charged out of the Great Wheel Mountain, all the instability of space and time seemed to vanish completely.
The chaotic Law Space was no more, and all Heaven and Earth Laws settled down.
Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief. This was now a place suitable for cultivation.
He had plenty of cultivation resources; as long as he found a stable place, he could retreat and strive to break through to the Eternal Life Realm.
He summoned a top-grade Flying Divine Artifact, which slowed down Ding Huan's traveling speed considerably.
A few months later, Ding Huan finally saw the silhouette of a cultivator under his Divine Will.
Even though there were only three cultivators, Ding Huan couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
In nearly a thousand years, he had only encountered one living person, and that was Meng Chuan Nu.
In Ding Huan's eyes, Meng Chuan Nu was still a revenge machine with little emotion, so he rarely spoke with her.
Arriving in this place, feeling the vibrant aura around him and that complete Heaven and Earth Rules.
Plus, seeing a few living people, Ding Huan finally felt as if he had returned to the human world.
In his Divine Will, there were two women and one man; the man's cultivation was at the World God Realm, while the two women were at the initial Divine King Realm.
Ding Huan concealed his own cultivation at the early Divine King Realm, and approached them voluntarily.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists. I mistakenly entered Transmission Space and was teleported here, losing my direction for a time. Could you tell me if there's a workshop nearby?"
Ding Huan willingly stepped forward and greeted them with clasped fists.
The three were startled by Ding Huan's sudden appearance.
Once they discerned that Ding Huan was just at the early Divine King Realm, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Accidentally entering Transmission Space at the foot of Great Wheel Mountain was not something peculiar.
One of the women said, "The closest workshop to Great Wheel Mountain is a journey of several years; I have a Direction Ball here, let me give you one."
The woman generously handed over a Direction Ball.
Ding Huan quickly thanked her and accepted it.
The fact that these three traveled so far must mean they were seeking something.
After bidding farewell to the trio, Ding Huan only summoned the Cosmic Pot after walking some distance away.
Though it had minor damage, it wasn't affecting its use.
For a treasure like the Cosmic Pot, as long as it's kept by one's side, even minor damage will gradually repair itself over time.
The woman said the journey would take several years, yet Ding Huan only took a few days to sweep over the Great Wheel Workshop with his Divine Will.
And that was when Ding Huan wasn't traveling at full speed. If he had, he could've arrived in less than a day.
Before he even entered the workshop, Ding Huan felt something was amiss.
The Star Land he was in was either a middle-level Rule Universe or a high-level Rule Universe.
Furthermore, the Heaven and Earth Rules here were so complete.
Shouldn't it be a place where Saints roamed freely and Eternal Saints were as numerous as dogs?
Within and outside the workshop, he didn't see a single Saint, let alone an Eternal Saint.
The strongest cultivation seemed to belong to a Quasi-Saint about to step into the First-Turn Saint Realm.
Apart from that, the God Unification Realm was regarded as strong.
Divine Kings and World Gods were abundant, and there were also lots of Divine Monarchs.
Is this really a middle-level Universe Rule Star Land?
Ding Huan no longer hoped this was a high-level Universe Rule Star Land.
While Ding Huan was still puzzled, a sudden Sword Light slashed downward.
Bang!
The Sword Light exploded.
Under his Divine Will, the four words 'Great Wheel Workshop' were shredded into debris by the Sword Light.
Not only that, the workshop's gatehouse was also destroyed by this slash.
Immediately after, Ding Huan saw a Divine King cultivator fall from the Void, their body cleaved in half by the slash.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Before this Divine King could recover, a flame descended upon them, and in just a short while, the Divine King was reduced to nothingness.
Ding Huan clearly saw through his Divine Will that the attacker was also a Divine King.
This was a Perfect God King, just a step away from entering the God Unification Realm.
This guy, clad in golden robes and exuding a strong aura of slaughter, evidently had done such things countless times.
Moreover, this guy shattered the workshop's gatehouse, killed a Divine King, then burned the corpse and left, without even flinching.
The Great Wheel Workshop didn't seem surprised, and there were hardly any onlookers.
Only when the golden-robed Divine King left did two people wearing workshop attire come over.
They swiftly cleaned up the mess at the workshop's entrance, then repaired the gatehouse.
Seeing the freshly restored words 'Great Wheel Workshop,' Ding Huan was truly amazed.
It can be done like this?
The background of this Golden Robe God King must be incredibly powerful.
No wonder there were so few people in the Great Wheel Workshop; if his cultivation were weak, he wouldn't dare linger here either.
Does the Master of this workshop not realize that if this continues, the number of people here will dwindle?
Ding Huan shook his head speechlessly and walked toward the Great Wheel Workshop.
He planned to inquire about the specific situation of this Star Land before finding a place to retreat and advance to the Eternal Life Realm.
As for looking for Meng Chuan Nu to help her deal with Hui Zhi, Ding Huan hadn't considered it.
His ability to reach here was due to Meng Chuan Nu bringing him to the edge of the Cosmic Wall.
Of course, if Meng Chuan Nu found him, he would still abide by the previous agreement and join forces with her.
The prerequisite is that he reaches the Eternal Life Saint Realm; otherwise, it's out of the question.
