Chapter 840: Do You Have a Dao Companion?
Qin Qin said that the Bright Divine Domain is not in the Little Heavenly Ruins.
Therefore, Ding Huan must leave the Little Heavenly Ruins to find the Light Principle.
The cultivators of the Little Heavenly Ruins find it very difficult to enter the Vast Void, as a Cosmic Wall nearly covers half of the Little Heavenly Ruins.
While the Cosmic Wall protects the Little Heavenly Ruins, it also prevents the possibility of cultivators leaving the Little Heavenly Ruins.
A cultivator wanting to leave the Little Heavenly Ruins through the Cosmic Wall should first consider whether they can climb over the Great Wheel Mountain.
Besides leaving through the Cosmic Wall, the only way to leave the Little Heavenly Ruins is through the Great Wheel Vortex.
The Great Wheel Vortex is actually at the end of the Great Wheel Mountain.
It is considered the territory of the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court.
The Heavenly Ruins Dao Court has lost four-fifths of its territory but still guards a portion of the Great Wheel Mountain because the Great Wheel Vortex is here.
For the Daoist of the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court, if there is no way to retreat in the future, they can still enter the Vast Universe through the Great Wheel Vortex.
In the Little Heavenly Ruins, anyone wanting to leave must go to the Great Wheel Vortex.
Over the years, the Heavenly Ruins Dao Court has declined, and Wu Zhu, the Daoist, has actually been restrained.
Some strong figures wanting to enter the Great Wheel Vortex to access the Vast Universe do not even greet him.
However, getting into the Great Wheel Vortex isn't so easy, as those with weaker cultivation hardly have any chance of survival.
But that's not the main issue.
The main thing is, returning to the Little Heavenly Ruins also requires coming back through this vortex.
It can be said that cultivators, below the Creation Dao Realm, once they leave the Little Heavenly Ruins through the Great Wheel Vortex, have basically no chance of returning.
Because the difficulty of coming back is a hundred times greater than leaving.
Those who can come back after leaving the Little Heavenly Ruins are of exceedingly strong cultivation.
"Is this at least a Heaven Creation level flying treasure?" Qin Qin was shocked by the speed of the Cosmic Pot.
This level of flying treasure is something she has seen for the first time.
"No." Ding Huan shook his head.
Heavenly Creation level treasures appear no more than one to three times in a top-tier Star Land.
And more Star Lands will not have even one appear.
She does not know that Ding Huan says it's not because he knows the Cosmic Pot is not as simple as a Heavenly Creation treasure.
However, he is sure the Cosmic Pot has not reached the level of the Eternal God Wheel.
"Brother Ding, may I know the cultivation technique you practice?" Qin Qin looked at Ding Huan with eager anticipation.
Ding Huan smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I cultivate with the Cosmic Technique."
"Cosmic Technique?" Qin Qin's expression subtly changed.
She has heard of the Great Universe Technique, such Tao Technique is extremely sinister, capable of destroying a planet.
The founder of the Qu's Dao Court seems to have cultivated a branch of the Great Universe Technique, the Great Planet Technique.
Seeing Qin Qin's expression, Ding Huan knew the woman misunderstood:
"The technique I cultivate has nothing to do with the one practiced by the Qu family; my cultivation technique never destroys planets or Star Lands."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's explanation, Qin Qin let out a sigh of relief.
She did not doubt Ding Huan's words.
After all, she had never heard of the Qu family's technique being capable of helping others comprehend Dao Rules, whereas Ding Huan's technique can achieve this.
Whether it is her or Emperor Zhong, both have greatly benefited.
"Brother Ding, do you have a Dao partner?" Qin Qin couldn't help but ask.
The reason she asked was that she genuinely thought it would be nice to become Dao partners with Ding Huan.
Firstly, Ding Huan is sincere and generous.
Without mentioning other things, just from Ding Huan giving Guan Huan the Dao Vine and telling him it could comprehend the Fourth Step of Dao, she knew Ding Huan was not an ordinary cultivator.
Does Ding Huan not realize that he might face the Fourth Step of Dao in the future?
Despite not having much time to interact with Ding Huan, she felt becoming Dao partners with Ding Huan was a good choice.
Not because she truly fell in love with Ding Huan.
She likes Ding Huan; cultivators become Dao partners more often due to alignment of ideals rather than love.
Qin Qin believes that she and Ding Huan share alike ideals, and she likes him, which is enough.
Moreover, cultivating beside Ding Huan yields results several times better than cultivating on her own.
That is the most significant reason.
As for reservation?
As long as it benefits one's Great Dao.
For a cultivator of Inference Realm like herself, reservation does not exist.
Ding Huan was taken aback; instinctively, he looked at Qin Qin's flawless, stunning countenance, and unabashed gaze.
Then he understood Qin Qin's intention; she wanted to become Dao partners with him.
Indeed, if cultivators have eyes for each other, there's really no need for romantic love.
For cultivators, that's just a waste of time.
Except for Jia Baihe, he hasn't seen any girl prettier than Qin Qin in front of him.
However, Ding Huan happens to be unconventional.
Qin Qin's idea of not needing a process, only a result, does not include him.
Even after cultivating for so long, his inherent nature remains unchanged.
Even if he didn't already have a Dao partner, he wouldn't directly accept Qin Qin's method of becoming Dao partners.
Qin Qin chose him because he practices the Great Universe Technique, helpful to Qin Qin's Great Dao.
Then why does he choose Qin Qin? Just because she's pretty?
"Yes." Ding Huan responded with no hesitation, very decisively.
Qin Qin the Holy Daughter's eyes flashed a hint of sadness, and she did not continue the topic.
For a cultivator like Ding Huan, not having a partner would indeed be strange, right?
Seeing Qin Qin not continuing to delve deeper, Ding Huan instead felt a slightly good impression.
The two didn't discuss the topic of partners any further. Apart from chatting about Little Heavenly Ruins, Qin Qin mainly asked Ding Huan about Dao Principles.
Qin Qin is currently in the Derivation Realm Eternal Saint, while Ding Huan is merely an Eighth Transformation Saint.
In terms of cultivation level, they were not on the same tier.
In terms of understanding Dao Rules and the Law of All Things, even on horseback, Qin Qin could not catch up to Ding Huan.
More than a year passed, and Qin Qin's cultivation did not increase much, but her understanding of the Dao ascended to another level compared to before.
Meanwhile, the Cosmic Pot also stopped outside the Great Wheel Vortex.
There is only a simple restriction here, without any guard.
Ding Huan shook his head; it's strange that the Dao Court of Heavenly Ruins hasn't collapsed.
Such a massive weapon as the Great Wheel Vortex in one's own Dao Court, yet the Daoist of Heavenly Ruins Dao Court, Wu Zhu, seems not to notice.
Not to mention stationing guards, it's even unwilling to set up more concealed and defense restrictions.
Knowing that this cosmic vortex, which can leave Little Heavenly Ruins, once utilized well, would certainly attract many people.
Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot, directly charging through the natural restriction and, without any pause, entered the giant void vortex.
"Brother Ding, we..." Qin Qin exclaimed in surprise.
She had already reminded Ding Huan on the Cosmic Pot, that one must observe the tidal flow of the Great Wheel Vortex to enter it.
Ding Huan charged directly into the vortex, which isn't a matter of the quality of the treasure but could result in being forcibly displaced in the void by the vortex.
If lucky, it's unknown where one might be transported; if unlucky, one could be torn to pieces.
Brother Ding has always acted rationally; why is he so reckless this time?
However, she soon noticed that within the Great Wheel Vortex, the Cosmic Pot merely slowed down a bit, showing no sign of being swept away or entering a space misalignment.
At this time, even her Divine Will could penetrate outward.
"Brother Ding, how did you accomplish this?" Qin Qin looked at Ding Huan in shock.
Her master had told her that upon entering the Great Wheel Vortex, the first priority is to protect one's body.
When encountering space misalignment, one must try to enter one's own world if possible.
However, encountering space misalignment generally means entering one's own world provides little chance of survival.
Since most Great Dao Worlds would be ripped apart by space misalignment.
Moreover, within the Great Wheel Vortex, Divine Will cannot penetrate outward, so do not casually extend Divine Will.
"This cosmic void vortex is, essentially, a conversion of space and a tidal flow of law fragments. Once you understand it, it's simple."
Ding Huan casually explained.
For Ding Huan, this indeed was not difficult.
Not only because he's traversed too many cosmic void vortexes, gaining experience.
More importantly, he had refined his own Space Law Star River, achieving a brand new level of understanding of space.
Frankly speaking, the only difference between him and those few Daoists in Little Heavenly Ruins is that he hasn't stepped into the Eternal Life Realm.
When he steps into the Eternal Life Realm, his own Great Dao will form a system, his Law Star River will become smooth, and Dao Principles will take shape.
Those few Creation Daoists won't stand a chance in his eyes.
With Ding Huan controlling the Cosmic Pot, they advanced swiftly within the Great Wheel Vortex.
In less than the time of a stick of incense, the Cosmic Pot has charged out of the Great Wheel Vortex.
Feeling the vast boundless cosmic void, Qin Qin found it hard to believe.
Wasn't it said that traversing the Great Wheel Vortex would take at least half a day if lucky, or several days if unlucky?
This was merely one stick of incense!
Though Qin Qin is in the Derivation Realm, she quickly reacted.
It meant Ding Huan's understanding of Space Law had reached a new level.
Not only that, Ding Huan's Divine Will was likely extremely refined.
Thus, Ding Huan could effortlessly continue to control his Flying Treasure within the Great Wheel Vortex.
This is entirely different from what her master said, that upon entering the Great Wheel Vortex, one is generally carried along by the vortex.
"Qin Qin, quickly sense the location of the Bright Divine Domain, see if you can locate it?"
As Ding Huan asked, he had already made a position mark at the Great Wheel Vortex exit and had set up a Void Transmission Array Base.
"This void is filled with broken law fragments…"
Even though Qin Qin had heard that, due to calamity, there were no planets with complete rules in the vast universe, nor complete heaven and earth rules.
Now, upon entering this void, sensing this void filled with broken law fragments, she was still trembling within.
"I've traveled to many places; a rule-complete Star Land like Little Heavenly Ruins is indeed rare within the cosmic void." Ding Huan responded.
He was most concerned about Qin Qin's mention of the Bright Divine Domain being shattered and no longer detectable.
"Brother Ding, don't worry, even if the Bright Divine Domain is fragmented, I can still find it."
Qin Qin understood Ding Huan's implication that he worried the Bright Divine Domain had dissolved into endless law fragments.
She had just taken out a Jade Ruyi, and suddenly looked into the distance.
Ding Huan immediately asked, "Is it there?"
Qin Qin shook her head, "There's an old acquaintance there; I thought he was schemed into falling at Little Heavenly Ruins, yet unexpectedly he left Little Heavenly Ruins, entering the cosmic void."
"Who is it?"
"His name is Qiao Qianhe, he once sought to marry me at Tian Huan Palace and was driven out..."
Qiao Qianhe? Ding Huan immediately recalled hearing this name.
It's said he's the only one to step into the Creation Saint Realm as an Independent Practitioner without joining any sect.
(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
