MTLNOVEL Chapter 824: Destruction Technique
Because Bai Yue needed to heal, the three of them did not use the Teleportation Array.
It was five months later when Ding Huan and the others returned to Tianyuan Tao City.
The notices outside Tianyuan Tao City announcing the bounty on Bai Yue had long disappeared.
Even though Ding Huan and his companions boldly walked into Tianyuan Tao City, aside from countless Divine Wills spying on them, no one dared to step forward and stop them.
Ding Huan, accompanied by Guan Huan and Bai Yue, arrived at the entrance of the Ruins Star Commerce cave mansion rental area, where the Ruins Star Commerce representative in Tianyuan Tao City, Peng Fu, was already waiting for them at the entrance.
"Peng Fu from Ruins Star Commerce greets Mr. Ding, Senior Guan, and Mr. Bai," Peng Fu greeted them with humility.
Ding Huan clasped his fists and said, "Deacon Peng, I previously accepted a mission to find Bai Yue, and now I've found him."
Peng Fu offered an apologetic smile and said:
"Mr. Ding, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time. The mission was canceled, so we can't give you the reward.
As a gesture of apology from our commerce, I am giving you three cave mansions for free, for a thousand years of cultivation. What do the three of you think?"
This guy truly exemplified how to say the sweetest words with the hardest mouth.
Offering three cave mansions for a thousand years for free was several times more rewarding than the bounty for finding Bai Yue.
"Thank you, Manager Peng," Ding Huan replied without any reservation.
Accepting this reward not only allowed him to maintain goodwill with Peng Fu, but rejecting it would make Peng Fu uneasy.
After all, the mission to capture Bai Yue was posted by someone else at Ruins Star Commerce.
Peng Fu was overjoyed and personally arranged the best three cave mansions for the three of them.
"Chang Yun indeed did not dare to come," Bai Yue couldn't help but sigh after Peng Fu left.
He heard that Ding Huan and Brother Guan Huan had dared to destroy the Qu's Dao Court, and he regretted not joining them.
This also gave him an insight into what kind of person Ding Huan was.
Even Brother Guan Huan, an honest person, was led by Ding Huan to destroy a Dao Court.
This showed that Ding Huan was not a person who could easily suffer losses.
Guan Huan chuckled, "When you advance to the Derivation Realm, we will visit the Changxing Dao Court."
"Brother Guan, it's a deal," Bai Yue's eyes lit up.
Guan Huan confirmed, "I hold a deep grudge against Chang Yun. Even if I don't kill him, he won't let me go."
"He probably wants to kill me even more," Bai Yue clenched his fists, determined to help Brother Guan Huan take revenge, even at the cost of his own life.
If not for Bai Yue, how could Guan Huan have been pinned down in Tianyuan Tao City for over a thousand years?
He quickly realized that they were so eager to kill Chang Yun because Chang Yun surely wouldn't let them go either.
"Brother Guan, Mr. Ding, I think Chang Yun might not let us off lightly. Should we set up a Teleportation Array outside?"
Bai Yue's idea was that if Chang Yun trapped Tianyuan Tao City with a Big Array, they could use the Teleportation Array to escape.
Guan Huan also looked at Ding Huan, thinking Bai Yue made a good point.
After all, being prepared is better than doing nothing.
Ding Huan waved a hand, saying, "Don't worry. Even if Chang Yun has the guts, he doesn't have the authority to lock down Tianyuan Tao City."
Tianyuan Tao City belonged to the Great Wheel Dao Court.
The Dao Court Master of the Great Wheel Dao Court had no enmity with them.
If the Dao Court Master of the Great Wheel Dao Court locked down Tianyuan Tao City to help Chang Yun, it would mean he was out of his mind.
Doesn't he know how the Qu's Dao Court was destroyed?
If he and Guan Huan could destroy the Qu's Dao Court, why couldn't they destroy the Great Wheel Dao Court?
Even if, worst-case scenario, they are locked down, what then?
He had the Eternal Life Talisman on him, unless the opponent set up a Big Array surpassing the plane's level, what could stop the Eternal Life Talisman?
With little time left before the auction, the three of them chose to discuss the Dao instead of cultivating.
Very soon, Ding Huan discovered that Bai Yue and Guan Huan's Mortal Dao were fundamentally different.
Guan Huan's Mortal Dao incorporated more Dao Principles, and though integrated into a cohesive whole, it lacked a sense of wonder.
More importantly, Guan Huan's Mortal Dao required certain Spirit Roots to get started.
Meanwhile, Bai Yue's Mortal Dao more aptly embodied the yearning of an ordinary person searching for a hint of eternal life in the universe.
Ding Huan gained many insights into Dao Principles he'd never encountered from Bai Yue's Mortal Dao.
He suspected that as his understanding of Mortal Principles deepened, he might refine a brand-new Mortal Law Star River within his Great Dao World.
Similarly, many of the Great Dao Thoughts that Bai Yue failed to comprehend in his cultivation became clearer after Ding Huan's explanations.
This increased Bai Yue's confidence significantly.
He even considered if, during Ding Huan's cultivation, he could perceive Ding Huan's Great Dao Thoughts, would it truly allow him to enter the Derivation Realm?
Ding Huan shared his insights on the Mortal Great Dao.
Not only did Bai Yue benefit greatly, but Guan Huan, who also practiced the Mortal Dao, gained significantly as well.
Previously, when Guan Huan and Bai Yue discussed the Dao, many of Bai Yue's Dao Thoughts were unclear.
With Ding Huan's intervention, a few words sufficed to bring much clarity to the Mortal Great Dao.
Despite entering the Creation Realm, many of Guan Huan's understandings of the Mortal Dao were even weaker than Bai Yue's.
For instance, during his entry into the Creation Saint Realm, if Guan Huan had perceived the Mortal Dao cultivated by Bai Yue, he wouldn't have been pinned down by Chang Yun for over a millennium before attaining enlightenment.
He would have achieved enlightenment before being pinned down by Chang Yun.
Thus, this discussion excited Guan Huan increasingly.
He differed from Emperor Zhong.
Emperor Zhong was proud, believing his Mortal Great Dao surpassed all others.
But Guan Huan never thought his Great Dao surpassed anyone else's; he was willing to humble himself and learn from anyone.
As long as it benefitted his Great Dao, he would diligently seek answers and humbly request instruction.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the auction, the trio would have continued to discuss Daoism.
This auction had been on Ding Huan's radar for a long time, and he was definitely not going to miss it.
Because of Ding Huan's participation, Bai Yue and Guan Huan accompanied him to the auction.
Guan Huan took out two divine pills and exchanged them for two seats.
The reason he wanted to sit with Ding Huan was because he knew what Ding Huan intended to buy this time.
Other things aside.
The people who wanted the Bright Path Scroll were certainly not just Ding Huan.
If a fight broke out, sitting together would provide some support.
This auction was co-hosted by the three major commerce houses of Little Heavenly Ruins.
Not only were there many good items, but the attendees were of high caliber.
As soon as Ding Huan sat down, his Divine Will scanned at least two Creation Realm experts entering the auction hall.
"I saw Daoist Chen Chi of the Great Wheel Dao Court arrive," Bai Yue said.
"Is it that guy with sunken eyes, carrying a pair of giant axes on his back?" Ding Huan immediately asked.
Two Creation Saints were present here.
The guy carrying the giant axes had dense Dao Rhythm, so he was likely the Daoist.
"Yes, that's him. I thought he'd come over and greet us, but he didn't," Bai Yue chuckled.
Ding Huan and Guan Huan had destroyed Qu's Dao Court.
Previously, wasn't Zuo Qiong the one who proactively went to greet the Divine Woman Saint Sect?
Ding Huan said, "Chen Chi is, after all, a Daoist Court Master, commanding millions.
We live in his Tao City and ignored the guy; why would he come over and greet us?"
Guan Huan echoed, "Yes, if he came over, people would think he's timid."
Many people attended the auction, with the weakest cultivation being in the Divine King Realm.
Before Ding Huan and the others chatted for long, the auction host appeared.
Even Ding Huan didn't expect to recognize the auction host.
Peng Fu from the Great Wheel Commerce.
This fellow had reached the Ninth Turn Saint's completion, just a step away from entering the Eternal Life Realm.
On top of that, he was the Manager of the Great Wheel Commerce in Tianyuan Dao City.
It was evident that the auction held many good items.
Simultaneously, Ding Huan understood that the two Creation Saints here.
Besides Daoist Chen Chi of the Great Wheel Dao Court, the other one should be the protector sent by the three major commerce houses.
This was to prevent issues from arising during the auction when good items appeared.
"Thank you all for coming to Tianyuan Dao City to participate in this auction hosted jointly by Great Wheel Commerce, Ruins Star Commerce, and Ji Family Commerce…"
As soon as Peng Fu started, he addressed everyone, from thanking the Great Wheel Dao Court to thanking a little blade of grass, speaking for over half an incense stick.
No one cared about what Peng Fu said; they only cared about what was in his hands.
"In this auction, anything can be priced, including divine crystals, divine spirit veins, various pills, artifacts, talismans, scrolls...
Next, we will auction the first item, a Divine Skills Dao Scroll, specifically a copy of the Destruction Path Scroll..."
Hearing Peng Fu's words, Ding Huan was momentarily stunned.
He only knew there was the Bright Path Scroll for sale and came for it.
Unexpectedly, there was this additional gain, the Destruction Path Scroll, which must be the Great Destruction Technique?
Not only Ding Huan but everyone was suddenly invigorated.
Who wouldn't want such a fine item?
Peng Fu's next words were a cold shower for most: "This Destruction Path Scroll is left over from another dimension.
Moreover, it's a copy, only a Little Destruction Technique. To my knowledge, at least a thousand people have acquired this Little Destruction Technique.
Regrettably, until now, no one has successfully cultivated it."
Ding Huan heard someone passionately discussing:
"Great Wheel Commerce is really honest; other houses would never say that the Little Destruction Technique is difficult to cultivate."
"Yes, they'd hastily claim you could immediately succeed in cultivation if only you purchased it."
Ding Huan agreed with Great Wheel Commerce's approach.
A commerce house deceiving others would only lower people's trust in them.
"It's best not to buy the Little Destruction Technique; I know who holds the Great Destruction Technique. Buying the Little Destruction Technique is pointless," Guan Huan whispered to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan was unconcerned.
Even if he obtained the Great Destruction Technique, he would modify it according to his Great Universe Technique.
Until it finally becomes a Great Destruction Technique that fits his Great Universe Technique.
The same goes for the Little Destruction Technique.
Once he gets it, he will still alter it with his Great Universe Technique, integrating his Dao Principles.
Once his Destruction Law Star River is complete, this Destruction Technique will become his brand-new Destruction Technique.
This brand-new Destruction Technique is the Great Destruction Technique for Ding Huan.
His Great Dao World Destruction Law Star River is complete, and this scroll of Little Destruction Technique is just what he needs.
So he's definitely going to buy the Little Destruction Technique.
(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
