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

Meng Chuan excitedly grabbed the items and stepped back to the side.

Indeed, befriending someone like Ding Huan, an ancient master, was the right decision.

She had gone crazy in the Great Dream Desert and ended up with nothing.

Following Mr. Ding, it's only been a few days, and the Great Dream Desert ended up in her hands, delivered even directly by those who took it.

After handing the Great Dream Desert to Meng Chuan, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch took out another item: "Daoist friend, this is the Rule Disc, a Heavenly Creation Treasure.

The sole function of this Rule Disc is to seek out places with more complete and higher rules and find the best path to enter them..."

As he spoke, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch handed the Rule Disc to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan took the Rule Disc in shock.

There aren't many Heaven Creation Treasures.

His Heaven and Earth Bow and Arrow are Heaven Creation Treasures, but even that's only because they're a set of one bow and three arrows combined; otherwise, they're only Innate Treasures.

Having confirmed that the Great Dream Desert was in her own world, Meng Chuan calmed down from her excitement.

Seeing the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's demeanor, she thought to herself how cunning this guy was.

Meng Chuan had teamed up with Ding Huan for some time and had a fair understanding of him.

People like Ding Huan don't care about what others say, even if you swear by the Great Dao; it doesn't concern him much.

What he cares more about is what others do.

It's because of her understanding of Ding Huan that she risked saving Guan Huan and Bai Yue.

The result was just as she had anticipated; Ding Huan didn't disappoint her, directly taking back her Great Dream Desert decisively.

Being friends with someone like Ding Huan means not expecting to take advantage.

Because they won't let you suffer a loss.

She wasn't sure if Ding Huan did it intentionally or not.

But this kind of action aligns perfectly with the cause and effect of the Great Dao.

Now the Great Desert Daoist Monarch was doing the same, handing things over proactively, clearly understanding Ding Huan's character.

If she hadn't obtained the Great Dream Desert, Meng Chuan would have had to think of ways to persuade Ding Huan to get rid of the Great Desert Daoist Monarch.

But now that she had just acquired the Great Dream Desert, her hatred for the Great Desert Daoist Monarch decreased somewhat.

Ding Huan placed his Divine Will on the Rule Disc.

He immediately realized it was valuable.

However, for him, this item was not as useful as it could be to others.

The Rule Disc can clearly identify where in Little Heavenly Ruins the Heaven and Earth Rules are most complete, suitable for Daoist pursuits.

No wonder the Great Desert Daoist Monarch verified the Creation Dao Realm after coming here.

Furthermore, as the Great Desert Daoist Monarch had said, the Rule Disc can locate where higher cosmic rules exist.

And it can find a way to enter universes with higher rules, just like his Great Universe Technique.

He was also very sensitive to Heaven and Earth Rules.

So he didn't need the Rule Disc to also sense the most complete location for Heaven and Earth Rules in Little Heavenly Ruins for cultivation.

But he had never thought of using his cultivation technique to find higher rule plane universes, so the Rule Disc offered him a new perspective.

Ding Huan put away the Rule Disc and looked at the Great Desert Daoist Monarch in front of him.

He had to admit, this guy was very clever.

If the guy hadn't willingly taken out the Rule Disc, the next moment, he would've unhesitatingly torn apart the guy's world.

Now that the Great Desert Daoist Monarch has presented the Rule Disc, should he still kill him?

After all, the grudge with the Great Desert Daoist Monarch wasn't his, but Meng Chuan's.

If one had to reason it out, he indeed had no rightful cause in this affair.

Just like the Great Desert Daoist Monarch said, he was just an assistant.

Yet in dealing with the Great Desert Daoist Monarch, Ding Huan wouldn't feel a shred of guilt.

Because of the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's straightforwardness, Ding Huan decided to leave the decision of whether or not to kill him to Meng Chuan.

"Meng Dao You, how should we handle the Great Desert Daoist Monarch? It's your decision to make."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch unhesitatingly opened his world:

"Fellow Daoists, this is everything I have. If you like it, go ahead and take it. Indeed, I want to live, but I wouldn't blame anyone for my death. It's better off shared among us than wasted."

Ding Huan's words shocked not only Ding Huan but also left Guan Huan and Bai Yue immensely surprised.

Earlier, when Ding Huan wanted to open the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's world, this guy frantically begged for mercy, even offering up his most treasured possessions.

Now that Ding Huan no longer intended to open his world, this guy actually opened it voluntarily.

This method of begging to survive was truly a little despicable.

Ding Huan wasn't initially interested in the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's possessions.

To be honest, despite the plethora of top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and high-grade ones in the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's world, he had even more in surplus.

Out of curiosity, he still swept through with his Divine Will.

When he saw a Twin-leaf Bitter Qi Tao Fruit, his eyes lit up.

This was something he had been wanting to find.

This is a top-tier Holy Dao Fruit, and he had no idea how the Great Desert Daoist Monarch acquired it.

Because such a Tao Fruit couldn't be found in low-level universes.

Though it could potentially be found in middle-level universes, resources in Little Heavenly Ruins were quite severely lacking.

Even if there was such a Tao Fruit, it would have been plundered long ago.

"This thing is good, I'll take it." Ding Huan took the Twin-leaf Bitter Qi Tao Fruit without hesitation.

This is the Saint Dao Fruit that can elevate his Heavenly Eye to the Holy Eye level.

His Illusion Eye is now at the perfect state of the Heavenly Eye, and it has been unable to advance for a long time.

Because he hasn't found a Saint Dao Fruit that can elevate the Heavenly Eye to the Holy Eye.

The Double-leaf Bitterbark Tao Fruit is one such Saint Dao Fruit.

Seeing Ding Huan seize the Double-leaf Bitterbark Tao Fruit, rather than being distressed, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch was overjoyed.

He was worried that nothing in his world would catch Ding Huan's eye.

Now that Ding Huan had taken a liking to the Double-leaf Bitterbark Tao Fruit, he had a chance to live.

Although he had nearly lost his life to obtain this Double-leaf Bitterbark Tao Fruit, it's now worth it to keep Ding Huan from killing him.

As Meng Chuan, who was hesitating, saw Ding Huan take another object from the Great Desert Daoist Monarch, she immediately said:

"Seeing as you haven't ruined my Dream Desert, I'll spare you this time."

She understood more than anyone.

Ding Huan took the Great Desert Daoist Monarch's things. If she killed the Great Desert Daoist Monarch now, it would leave a bad impression on Ding Huan.

Having gained the Dream Desert, whether or not she killed the Great Desert Daoist Monarch was not important to her.

So she would never do such a thankless thing.

The Great Desert Daoist Monarch felt a weight lift off his shoulders and quickly bowed in gratitude: "Thank you, Meng Dao You, for your magnanimity, and thanks to this Dao friend for sparing my life."

After speaking, feeling it was not enough, he added: "Dao friend, this Double-leaf Bitterbark Tao Fruit exists to upgrade the Dao Eye; it's best to combine it with the Light Principle for the best effect."

Upon hearing this, Ding Huan was overjoyed.

If the Great Desert Daoist Monarch hadn't spoken, he really wouldn't have known.

That word was invaluable.

Because of these words, Ding Huan tossed the eighteen Desert Pearls to the Great Desert Daoist Monarch:

"In the future, don't casually take things from others. Today, in light of your Rule Disc and this Tao Fruit, I'll return your magical treasure to you."

The Great Desert Daoist Monarch eagerly grabbed the eighteen Desert Pearls.

Although the value of eighteen Desert Pearls is far less than the Rule Disc, to him, the Pearls are his cherished treasure.

He hadn't guessed wrong; Ding Huan truly was the kind of existence who doesn't actively provoke cause and effect and doesn't owe great causes to others.

If Ding Huan possessed the Heavenly Eye or Dao Eye and followed his words, that would be a great cause and effect.

Now that Ding Huan gave him the Desert Pearls, it was equivalent to settling this cause and effect.

"Are you Ding Huan, one of the 'Two Joys of Heavenly Ruins'?" The Great Desert Daoist Monarch, no longer fearing for his life, was immediately intrigued.

Ding Huan nodded: "Indeed, I am Ding Huan."

The Great Desert Daoist Monarch quickly said, "Mr. Ding, you and Brother Guan, along with this Meng Dao You, are all extraordinary people.

I have an unreasonable request: if one day Mr. Ding decides to leave the Little Heavenly Ruins, could you take me with you?"

Ding Huan replied calmly: "Someone with a cowardly character like yours is not suited to follow us. Not long ago, we offended the Four Dao Courts and the Three Great Societies.

Now at least seven or eight Creation Realm experts are hunting us."

The Great Desert Daoist Monarch was stunned by Ding Huan's words, but then thought of Ding Huan's methods and quickly added:

"Mr. Ding, my strength is limited, but I have an innate divine skill where I excel at gathering information."

Ding Huan's interest was piqued; if this guy could find the Dream Desert, his sense must be innate.

Seemingly worried that Ding Huan wouldn't believe in his abilities, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch quickly added: "Mr. Ding, do you know what kind of tree the one you collected before is?

It's a Dao Vine, which can cleanse the flawed Dao Principles of the first three realms of the Eternal Dao Saint, giving a greater chance to step into the Fourth Step of Dao.

One could say that in the Little Heavenly Ruins, if one wants to step into the Fourth Step, they must rely on the Dao Vine.

No one knew that Wu Zhu possessed the Dao Vine, but I found out.

Because I have this ability, I am naturally able to learn things others are unaware of."

"You..." Upon hearing the Great Desert Daoist Monarch proudly speak, Wu Jie Na's face turned pale with anger.

On top of the previous humiliation, she now felt as if boiling oil was being poured over her heart, suffering immensely.

It was obvious now, even to a fool, that in the heart of the Desert Elder Brother she loved most, she was merely a piece to be used.

The only reason he was with her was to have her provide cultivation resources, and even to steal her father's Dao Vine.

She also realized the purpose of dual cultivation with the Great Desert Daoist Monarch: with her present, the Great Desert Daoist Monarch could discard the flawed Dao Principles through her and the Dao Vine.

She had made no progress all this time, and her cultivation had now stalled at the Divine King Realm.

Ding Huan silently watched the Great Desert Daoist Monarch.

This guy was practically despicable beyond belief.

He turned his back on her without even pulling up his pants.

However, the Dao Vine was indeed a surprise.

This thing could help someone step into the Fourth Step of Dao?

Perhaps it could be given to Guan Huan for research later.

If Guan Huan could step into the Fourth Step of Dao, then revenge would be assured.

With that in mind, Ding Huan threw a Communication Bead to the Great Desert Daoist Monarch:

"Your task is to monitor the actions of the Four Dao Courts and keep an eye on the Three Great Societies aiming to deal with us. Do well, and when I leave in the future, I'll take you with me."

"Rest assured, Mr. Ding, leave this to me, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied." The Great Desert Daoist Monarch pounded his chest in assurance.

Even a fool like Wu Jie Na understood that after Ding Huan's words, she definitely wouldn't have a future.

She burned her primordial spirit to send a message and decisively self-immolated.

Ding Huan ignored Wu Jie Na's self-immolation, knowing clearly that even if this woman hadn't done so, the ruthless Great Desert Daoist Monarch wouldn't have spared her.

All that could be said was that this woman had poor judgment and was blinded by love, choosing a despicable person.

(Good night, Dao friend!)
