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

Ding Huan's Divine Will immediately swept to the deepest part of the main hall, then fell upon a stone table.

The stone table was presently empty, and Ding Huan took a step to stand beside it.

At this moment, he didn't need to use the Great Universe Technique to sense; he knew there had once been an Ice Attribute Dao Principle on the stone table.

Unfortunately, after arriving here, he began to perfect the Ice Attribute Law Star River and then sensed the opportunity of the Eighth Transformation Saint.

After he proved the Tao of the Eighth Transformation Saint, the Ice Attribute Great Dao Principle also sank into the Void, disappearing without a trace.

Ding Huan did not feel much loss in his heart, indicating that this Ice Attribute Great Dao Principle was not his destiny.

He could return to Heavenly Ruins Tao City now, though he hadn't calculated the time, he could guess he had been out for at least several decades.

Turning back, Ding Huan's gaze fell upon the two individuals always standing in the main hall, which should be a man and a woman.

It's impossible for Tian Huan Palace to have men; if there are men, they must be in the dungeon.

And this place should count as a part of the Tian Huan Palace's dungeon, so it's normal for men to appear.

When Ding Huan's gaze fell upon the woman's face, a stunning feeling immediately arose.

This woman kept her eyes tightly closed, her face also exceedingly pale.

Her appearance was like meticulously crafted, without a single flaw.

Ding Huan's Divine Will directly fell upon the woman; the woman still had lifeforce aura.

He chopped open the Ice Gate, triggering the Ice Attribute Great Dao Principle.

Fortunately, time was not very long; he proved the Saint of the Eighth Step, then swept away all the Ice Attribute Law Fragments here.

This woman had merely been locked here by Dao Line Forbidden Pattern, not fallen.

If Ding Huan hadn't triggered the Ice Attribute Great Dao Principle, this woman should be able to remain conscious now.

Ding Huan's gaze fell again on the man.

The man wore a pale yellow starry sky cultivator's robe, with no Daoist Rhythm aura around him.

Ding Huan's Divine Will fell on the man's Purple Mansion, feeling the lifeforce aura there too.

The man hadn't fallen.

Not only hadn't he fallen, Ding Huan could roughly guess who the man was.

This guy was definitely Emperor Zhong.

With Divine Will on his Purple Mansion, Ding Huan could faintly sense the man's Great Dao Rhythm.

It was the Mortal Dao.

It was somewhat different from Guan Huan and Bai Yue's Mortal Dao, though Bai Yue's cultivated Mortal Dao was closer to this person's.

Clearly, this guy was the Emperor Zhong Bai Yue mentioned.

It was said he was saved by Qin Qin Holy Daughter, but in fact, he hadn't been saved; he was still in this dungeon.

Ding Huan's gaze returned to the extremely beautiful woman; could this be Qin Qin Holy Daughter?

Why had this Holy Daughter, who calculated against Emperor Zhong, also not left this dungeon?

Ding Huan took out two lifeforce Dao Dans and directly fed them to these two.

These two were merely locked stagnant by Great Dao Lines' Restrictions.

Due to the influence of Great Dao Lines' Restrictions, their cultivation had weakened.

Then, when he triggered the Ice Attribute Great Dao Principle, he almost killed them.

That's why they looked as though about to fall, but Ding Huan understood, as long as they awoke, removed the Dao Lines on them, they would quickly recover.

Rescuing them didn't require any Cosmic Essence at all.

Sure enough, after just one stick of incense's time, the woman opened her eyes first, and upon seeing Ding Huan, her eyes showed surprise:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Ding Huan replied calmly: "Who are you? Why in my territory?"

The woman was completely puzzled by Ding Huan's words, and after a while, she said with some confusion: "This is the Ice Prison of Tian Huan Palace, how is it your territory?"

Ding Huan chuckled: "Tian Huan Palace was destroyed more than two thousand years ago; this place has long been ownerless."

"Tian Huan Palace was destroyed?" the woman muttered to herself, not responding for a moment.

At this moment, the man also opened his eyes; upon seeing Ding Huan, he didn't speak but began operating the Great Dao to restore his cultivation.

Ding Huan's Divine Spirit Veins had not been packed away, so the man felt the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here suddenly become abundant.

Ding Huan realized this guy was already a Nine Transformation Saint, cultivation higher than his own.

Bai Yue said Emperor Zhong was stuck at the Eighth Transformation Saint without progress?

The woman finally regained her senses, her voice trembling: "Big brother, was Tian Huan Palace really destroyed? Who destroyed it?"

Ding Huan replied honestly: "I don't know who destroyed it, I only know Tian Huan Palace was destroyed by the Poison Dao.

Now the entire outskirts of Tian Huan Palace are covered with Poison Dao Rules..."

In Ding Huan's eyes, these were merely Poison Dao Law Fragments.

For those less versed in Heaven and Earth Laws than Ding Huan, this place was encircled by Poison Dao Rules.

"Then how did you come here?" the woman asked with some suspicion in her eyes.

"I've cultivated the Poison Dao, so I'm not afraid." Ding Huan replied ambiguously.

Upon hearing Ding Huan, the woman fell silent again.

Ding Huan looked at Emperor Zhong, who was still hurrying to recover his strength.

Ding Huan was somewhat speechless; didn't this guy know his body was locked by Great Dao Lines' Forbidden Pattern, even if his strength fully recovered, he couldn't move?

Moreover, he couldn't fully recover.

This reminded Ding Huan of when he was a student long ago.

Those ordinary students whose grades weren't too good or too bad.

Even though they knew they wouldn't get better grades, they would still cram before exams, flipping through their textbooks for some psychological comfort.

Emperor Zhong's cultivation method was the Mortal Dao, and such a mortal mindset was already engrained in his bones.

Or perhaps he knew that even without restoring his cultivation, he still couldn't escape.

Ding Huan was waiting for Emperor Zhong.

He didn't care much about the woman.

Since he encountered Emperor Zhong, he had to take him away.

This guy was Bai Yue's senior brother and Lao Guan's inseparable friend; he couldn't just leave him here to die.

"My name is Qin Qin," the woman awoke from her silence.

Ding Huan wasn't surprised; he had long guessed that this woman was Qin Qin, the Holy Daughter.

Now that Qin Qin identified herself, Ding Huan bluntly said, "I heard you teamed up with Jiang Yiyu to deceive Emperor Zhong, pretending to teleport him away, but actually didn't.

So, having Emperor Zhong here seems normal, but why are you here too?"

Emperor Zhong, who was struggling to restore his power, heard Ding Huan's words and opened his eyes in surprise and uncertainty:

"Fellow Daoist, do you know me?"

Ding Huan smiled slightly:

"I don't know you, but I know Bai Yue and Guan Huan. They are my friends. Seeing you here, I guessed you were Emperor Zhong, and I've been waiting for you."

"Brother Guan and Junior Brother Bai, are they well?" Emperor Zhong instantly asked excitedly upon hearing news about Guan Huan and Bai Yue.

Ding Huan laughed heartily: "They're both doing great; not long ago, Lao Guan and I even took down the Qu's Dao Court as a side deed."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhong fell silent.

He knew Guan Huan's strength, and it wasn't that of a testament to Creation.

The cultivator in front of him didn't seem to have reached the Eternal Life Realm at all.

If this cultivator, together with Guan Huan, could destroy the Qu's Dao Court, that would be ridiculous.

So, what Ding Huan said must be false.

Instead of asking about Guan Huan, Emperor Zhong inquired, "May I know how to address you?"

"I'm Ding Huan, and I'm planning to leave here. I'll take you with me."

Seeing Ding Huan intending to come over, Emperor Zhong hurriedly gestured to stop: "Mr. Ding, I'm bound by the Great Dao Line and cannot leave at all."

Ding Huan, with such cultivation, naturally couldn't see the Great Dao Line on him.

After all, what bound him was laid by a master of the Eternal Life Realm.

Ding Huan hadn't even stepped into the Eternal Life Realm, so how could he perceive what was laid by an Eternal Life Realm master?

Qin Qin, the Holy Daughter, spoke: "Mr. Ding, may I ask how you knew I conspired with Jiang Yiyu to deceive Brother Zhong?"

Ding Huan took out an imaging crystal ball and activated it: "This crystal ball here."

Upon activation, under Qin Qin's witness, Emperor Zhong used the Break Position Talisman to break the void and leave.

Emperor Zhong sighed, saying nothing.

Indeed, that was something he had done before.

The imaging crystal ball was real.

But unfortunately, the Break Position Talisman was fake.

Qin Qin also sighed, "After knowing Brother Zhong was imprisoned in the dungeon of Tian Huan Palace, I tried various ways to persuade the Palace Master to release Brother Zhong…"

"Wait a minute..."

Ding Huan interrupted Qin Qin: "You said you persuaded the Palace Master to release Brother Zhong? Wasn't it Jiang Yiyu who pleaded with you?"

Qin Qin was taken aback, then a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "It's precisely because of Jiang Yiyu, I ended up imprisoned in the dungeon.

If Jiang Yiyu wanted to release Brother Zhong, would she even need to plead? She's the illegitimate daughter of the Palace Master of Tian Huan Palace and holds a much higher status there than I, the Holy Daughter.

However, Tian Huan Palace does not allow any woman to have relations with a man, not even the Palace Master.

So, not many in Tian Huan Palace knew Jiang Yiyu's true identity.

I learned about it because my master told me. After my master revealed this to me, he went missing on an outing and never returned.

Brother Zhong had treated me kindly, and I petitioned the Palace Master to release Brother Zhong, but the Palace Master scolded me severely.

If it weren't for some elders pleading, I would have been severely punished by the Palace Master.

Helpless, I brought a Chaos Divine Spirit Vein, ten top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, and a Seven-Leaf Reincarnation Herb to ask Jiang Yiyu for help.

Jiang Yiyu finally agreed, but she told me we couldn't leave without the sect; we could only use the Break Position Talisman to leave.

Luckily, I had a Break Position Talisman. When I was about to give it to Brother Zhong, Jiang Yiyu stood between us.

She casually took the Break Position Talisman I gave to Brother Zhong, then handed it over to Brother Zhong.

When Brother Zhong activated the Break Position Talisman, I knew something was wrong. The Break Position Talisman had been switched by Jiang Yiyu, and Brother Zhong was transported here.

For secretly releasing a prisoner, I was also imprisoned in this Ice Prison. Jiang Yiyu made a great contribution and I suppose she'll soon replace me as the Holy Daughter…"

So that's how it was.

Ding Huan thought to himself, this Jiang Yiyu is indeed a green tea bitch, taking what Qin Qin, the Holy Daughter, offered and what Bai Yue provided.

After receiving resources from two sides, she imprisoned them even deeper.

Fortunately, Tian Huan Palace was later destroyed; otherwise, Emperor Zhong and Qin Qin's fate might not have been as simple as imprisonment.

(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
