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

After entering the workshop, Ding Huan felt the desolation here even more.

Most of the stalls had the same few items, such as Thousand Wheel Stones, Space Stones, and so on.

Ding Huan had seen these items before; there are many at the foot of Great Wheel Mountain.

But Ding Huan didn't even bother to pick them up, as they held little value for him.

The items for sale were mostly sensing array plates, Detoxification Divine Pills, etc.

The sensing array plates are primarily used when going to Great Wheel Mountain, to detect space and time dislocation in advance.

It seems that this workshop is really prepared for Great Wheel Mountain.

Ding Huan walked into a trading building and bought some Star Land Notes.

He originally wanted to buy a Direction Ball for this Star Land, but this small workshop didn't have one at all.

Ding Huan decided to go to Tao City of the Abyss.

Since entering the workshop, he learned through asking other cultivators and checking some jade scroll notes.

This Rule Star Land is quite ordinary and plain, called Little Heavenly Ruins.

The name sounds small, but the boundary is vast and boundless.

Until now, it's said that no one knows exactly how big Little Heavenly Ruins is.

No one has been heard talking about reaching the edges of Little Heavenly Ruins.

In Little Heavenly Ruins, there is no place connected with the Cosmic Void.

To leave Little Heavenly Ruins, one must use the Breakthrough Talisman.

No wonder there are many low-level cultivators here; most should be native-born cultivators.

Ding Huan estimated it should be related to the Cosmic Wall.

Not to mention others, even he, having come here from the Cosmic Wall, knows the hardships of that journey that few could endure.

Moreover, there is an abyss carved by the Eternal God Wheel between Star Land and the Cosmic Wall, isn't there?

There are certainly Eternal Saints, but those Eternal Saints probably wouldn't waste their time searching for the edge of Little Heavenly Ruins.

Ding Huan really wanted to know if Meng Chuan had made it safely, but this woman is so sly that she didn't even leave a contact method.

He could only look for a more prosperous place to inquire on the side if there was someone called Hui Zhi.

Tao City of the Abyss was the prosperous place he wanted to go.

After leaving the trading building, Ding Huan's divine will scanned the man in the golden garment once again, the guy with a golden knife hanging from his waist, standing in the middle of the workshop listening to a blue-clothed cultivator speaking.

Ding Huan's divine will was powerful, and as it swept over, he knew the blue-clothed cultivator was talking about him.

It seemed to be about the Breaking Tribulation Blade on his back.

Sure enough, the golden-clothed man's gaze immediately turned to Ding Huan and then started walking over.

Ding Huan was speechless.

He didn't even have to think to know that this guy was going to tell him that he was unworthy of the knife and then demand that he hand it over.

The Breaking Tribulation Blade has advanced to the level of an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, and if Chaos could be discovered, it might even evolve to the level of an Innate Treasure.

Such a treasure naturally attracts covetous glances.

Especially from someone who wields a blade.

What caught Ding Huan off guard was that the man in the golden robe was even more arrogant than he imagined.

This guy came up to him and, without a word, slashed directly at him.

Clearly, saying anything was too troublesome—he intended to kill him directly, take his knife, and just walk away, which seemed simpler.

Ding Huan sneered with anger.

How strong a backing does one need to commit such acts?

No wonder he could slash the gate tower of the workshop with one sword, and yet the people in the workshop still had to clean up for him.

The Master of the Great Wheel Workshop probably only stayed because there were good things to collect here.

Anyone else would have run away long ago.

This slash was aimed at taking Ding Huan's life, as the vitality of the space around Ding Huan was completely locked by this strike.

Since the opponent wasted no words, naturally, Ding Huan didn't waste any either.

His Breaking Tribulation Blade automatically cut a sword curtain in the void.

Before the blade even fell, the space locked by the golden-clad man shattered like an eggshell, and the domain completely dissolved.

As the sword curtain fell, the golden-clad man's sword light was shredded into fragments.

A burst of blood mist exploded as the golden-clad man was split in two by Ding Huan in one slash.

Just like how he slain that early-stage Divine King outside the workshop before, the blood instantly stained the soil here brown.

The Breaking Tribulation Blade rested on Ding Huan's back again after striking this blow.

Ding Huan reached out into the void, grasping; a world opened up in his hand.

Without even looking at what was inside, with a sweep of his hand, everything existent in that world was taken away by Ding Huan.

"I am Qu Huaiyang of the Qu Family, how dare you…" The golden-clad man's residual soul oozed out, finally screaming in terror.

Ding Huan didn't seem to hear him as a flame landed on Qu Huaiyang, and the next moment, he turned to ashes.

Almost like a cycle of reincarnation.

Qu Huaiyang killed that early-stage Divine King just like that, and now Ding Huan killed Qu Huaiyang the same way.

The workshop grew quieter, with many cultivators rushing out of it.

No divine will fell upon Ding Huan.

These people were very afraid.

They probably all knew that once the Qu Family came, the chances of staying alive in the workshop would be slim.

Ding Huan intended to stop someone to ask questions, but seeing their panic, he reconsidered.

If he asked about the Qu Family, he could leave immediately.

But what about the one who answered his question?

One of the Qu Family's disciples was so rampant in the Great Wheel Workshop, killing and robbing without needing an excuse, which showed how arrogant the Qu Family was.

If someone dared to answer him, they would surely face the Qu Family's wrath later.

Ding Huan walked out of the marketplace unhurriedly.

He just wanted to see how strong the powerhouses of this Little Heavenly Ruins were.

"Killed someone from the Qu family and still want to leave?"

A cold voice echoed as a man and a woman blocked Ding Huan at the marketplace exit.

Two God Unification Realm ants.

In Ding Huan's eyes, God Unification Realm were just ants.

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned outward, discovering that the only one with a Quasi-Saint completion level in the marketplace had already retreated.

He didn't even come looking for him.

Ding Huan didn't answer, extending his domain, causing the Breaking Tribulation Blade to once again unleash a curtain of sword light.

When they found themselves unable to move even a little, the man and woman's expressions changed.

Being able to bind them with a domain, leaving them immobile, meant the cultivation level was at least Quasi-Saint later stage.

The two of them, at God Unification Realm, were provoking a Quasi-Saint late-stage powerhouse; wasn't that courting death?

Boom!

Another burst of blood exploded as the woman was torn apart by Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade.

Similarly, her world was casually torn open by Ding Huan, and the contents within vanished in an instant.

"Senior…" The man looked at Ding Huan in horror, knowing he was done for.

As for whether Ding Huan was finished too, he definitely couldn't tell.

"Are you from the Qu family too?" Ding Huan asked this man calmly.

The man quickly responded, "Junior is not from the Qu family's direct line, I'm just an outer sect steward for the Qu family, responsible for protecting Young Master Huaiyang."

"Oh, then tell me about the Qu family, the more detailed the better. If I'm satisfied with what you say, I might not tear your world apart."

Ding Huan's indifferent tone fell on the man's ears like the voice of a saint.

"Yes, the Qu family established the Qu's Dao Court in Little Heavenly Ruins, and it's a place teeming with powerhouses…"

Ding Huan interrupted the man's words: "You're saying the Qu family, a cultivation family, established a Dao Court?"

If it were an ordinary cultivation world or even the Immortal Realm, Ding Huan wouldn't be surprised.

In such a middle-level cosmic star land, establishing a Dao Court.

Logically, could any single surname be that influential?

"Yes, the Qu family indeed established the Qu's Dao Court in Little Heavenly Ruins. Among the five Dao Courts in Little Heavenly Ruins, it ranks third."

"Are the other four Dao Courts also established by surnames?"

"No, the other four Dao Courts were naturally formed by various forces in Little Heavenly Ruins. Only the Qu family established a Dao Court by surname.

Back then, Qu Beige from the Qu family came here and forcefully established the Qu's Dao Court in pursuit of the Great Dao."

The man was forthcoming in his responses to Ding Huan's inquiries.

Ding Huan had promised that as long as he answered well, he wouldn't tear his world apart.

If his world remained, he might have a slim chance to be reborn. If Ding Huan tore it apart, he would indeed be finished.

"Qu Beige is the founder of the Qu family?"

"He should be; I'm not certain. However, the Qu's Dao Court was indeed established by Qu Beige."

Ding Huan asked again, "If Qu Beige could establish a Dao Court, his cultivation level should be very strong, right?"

"Yes, it's said that back then, eleven Eternal Life Realm powerhouses attacked Qu Beige, and he killed more than half. The rest were either seriously injured or disappeared.

It was after this battle that Qu Beige made his name in Little Heavenly Ruins and then established the Qu's Dao Court.

He reached the Creation Saint Realm here and then left Little Heavenly Ruins."

"What is the Creation Saint Realm?"

Upon hearing Ding Huan's inquiry, the man trapped in Ding Huan's domain was momentarily stunned.

Was this guy messing with him?

Otherwise, how could he not know about the Creation Saint?

This thought flashed by, and he hurriedly explained, "After stepping out of the Nine Turns Saint, is the Eternal Saint Realm.

Eternal Saints mark the beginning of the Great Dao. The first step of the Great Dao is also known as the Chuang Dao Saint Realm; the second step is called the Yan Jie Saint Realm, the Creation Saint Realm being the third step of the Great Dao…"

Ding Huan nodded; he wasn't entirely ignorant, having heard of these realms before. He just wanted to compare and see if there were any differences.

"Did Qu Beige leave Little Heavenly Ruins because it wasn't possible to reach the Fourth Step of the Dao here?"

"No, I heard someone had reached the Fifth Step of the Great Path in Little Heavenly Ruins.

Qu Beige practiced the Star Land Technique, and to certify the Fourth Step, he needed more life planets.

With so many powerhouses in Little Heavenly Ruins, Qu Beige dared not enhance his strength here at random."

Upon hearing this, Ding Huan's expression turned cold.

Star Land Technique? That was almost like a branch of the Great Universe Technique that Huan cultivated, wasn't it?

"Did Qu Beige's Star Land Technique require refining countless life planets?"

"Yes."

Indeed, it was so.

Ding Huan fell silent, no wonder the disciples of the Qu family were so arrogant.

It was their cultivation technique that caused this.

To cultivate such a technique, one must have the awareness that in the Qu family's eyes, all others were ants, all could die for the Qu family.

But being able to certify the Fifth Step of the Great Path here indicated it was at least a middle-level universe.

"Senior, the Qu family exacts revenge for even the smallest grievances. Having killed Qu Huaiyang, you might face endless pursuit by the Qu family."

"Is this place the Qu family's territory?"

"No, this is the territory of the Great Wheel Dao Court."

"Very well, you can go in peace." Ding Huan raised his hand, and the God Unification Realm cultivator before him was shattered to pieces.

Ding Huan didn't open his world, keeping his promise.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
