MTLNOVEL Chapter 842: The Emergence of the Light Dao Principle
"He is very strong, very strong..."
Qiao Qianhe's few words, without any adjectives, made Ding Huan and Qin Qin feel that that person was really strong.
"Could it be the Fifth Step of the Great Dao?" Qin Qin couldn't help but ask, knowing that the Fourth Step is a peak that Little Heavenly Ruins cannot reach.
If it were the Fifth Step of the Great Dao, that would be terrifying.
Qiao Qianhe was silent for a long time before shaking his head, "Although I have never seen the Fifth Step of the Great Dao, I feel that the Fifth Step can't achieve this."
Ding Huan's heart was filled with a sense of crisis.
As he journeyed through higher level universes, the powerful entities he encountered grew more formidable.
Yet his own cultivation seemed perpetually out of reach.
He also knew that this was an illusion caused by his previously fast cultivation speed now slowing down.
In reality, his cultivation speed was undoubtedly among the top elite.
But this did not alleviate his inner crisis.
He always felt that even in a place like Little Heavenly Ruins, he was suppressed by others; once he left for higher-level universes, it would be even harder to make progress.
"So strong? What's that person's name?" Qin Qin asked in shock.
"I don't know." Qiao Qianhe shook his head, feeling very hurt inside.
Being taught a lesson and humiliated by someone, he didn't even know where the person came from or their name.
Ding Huan asked again, "Qin Qin, can you now sense the Bright Divine Domain?"
Before Qin Qin could speak, Qiao Qianhe exclaimed, "You want to seek the Light Principle too?"
The Light Principle?
Ding Huan looked at Qiao Qianhe with confusion, as he only intended to visit the Bright Divine Domain to perfect his Light Law Star River.
He held a Light Dao Scroll in his hand, and now he only needed to comprehend and integrate the Light Principle to perfect his Light Law Star River.
For Ding Huan, it didn't matter if the Bright Divine Domain was shattered; as long as there were Light Law Fragments, it was fine.
If he could obtain one Light Principle, perfecting the Light Law Star River in the short term would be almost guaranteed.
"The Bright Divine Domain shattered, but within it hid one Light Principle.
Later, when the Light Principle was exposed, I went to seize it and clashed with that powerful being..."
"You found the Bright Divine Domain?"
Ding Huan asked excitedly.
Perhaps because Ding Huan was his savior, Qiao Qianhe didn't hide anything and shared his experience.
After leaving Little Heavenly Ruins, Qiao Qianhe searched the vast universe for a place to verify the Fourth Step of Dao.
Yet, in this vast universe full of fragmented Star Land, finding a place where Heaven and Earth Rules are perfect was extremely difficult.
After nearly a thousand years of searching, Qiao Qianhe finally found an unbroken Star Land.
This was the Bright Divine Domain.
Upon reaching the Bright Divine Domain, Qiao Qianhe realized that although it appeared intact, it was on the verge of shattering.
The reason for the impending collapse of the Bright Divine Domain was naturally due to the numerous Cosmic Calamities, leaving the Divine Domain in ruins.
Even this dilapidated Star Land gathered countless cultivators.
These cultivators had nowhere else to go and could only temporarily stay here.
Attempting to certify the Fourth Step of Dao on this kind of broken Star Land was almost impossible.
Yet, even in such a ruined Divine Domain, there were still plenty of good things inside.
As more cultivators arrived, conflict inevitably increased.
The Bright Divine Domain was already on the brink of collapse, and the battles among numerous cultivators made the already broken Divine Domain even more fractured.
Until the Light Principle was discovered, which was the last straw for the collapsing Divine Domain.
With the appearance of the Light Principle, unsurprisingly, countless people fought for it.
Under the barrage of various magical treasures and divine skills, the Bright Divine Domain finally collapsed completely, breaking apart.
Hearing this, Ding Huan was also filled with emotion.
If those people hadn't gathered at the Bright Divine Domain, with that one Light Principle, it would have eventually recovered.
Unfortunately, the Bright Divine Domain provided a refuge for numerous loose cultivators with nowhere to go, only to be shattered by these very refugees.
What an irony!
You had nowhere else to go, and I provided you with a house; in return, you tore down my house just to seize my possessions.
Qiao Qianhe seemed to catch a glimpse of Ding Huan's mocking smile, and his tone also carried a hint of self-deprecation, "I am also one of the destroyers of the Bright Divine Domain.
When the Light Principle emerged, I relied on my formidable strength to restrain the Light Principle first.
At that moment, I sensed someone reaching for the Light Principle and unhesitatingly attacked with full force.
I didn't expect that the person who intervened was immensely powerful, and for my own safety, I dared not continue to restrain the Light Principle and attacked with all my might.
Because I needed to go all out to save myself, the Light Principle slipped away.
The person who attacked me was initially quite far from the Bright Divine Domain, and by the time he arrived, it was too late, as the Light Principle had already escaped.
He immediately tried to restrain the Light Principle, but was slightly too late and seemingly failed to capture it.
I sensed that the person was far stronger than me and knew that offending him would not end well, so I activated the Teleportation Talisman, intending to escape back to Little Heavenly Ruins.
Unexpectedly, this person didn't capture the Light Principle and directed all his anger at me.
He actually intercepted my Teleportation Talisman using Space Escape Technique and trapped me in this Descent Array. All these years, I have been on the run every single moment..."
Although Ding Huan was dismayed by the Bright Divine Domain's fragmentation due to those people snatching the Light Principle, he still hoped to rush over in time.
Going there now, not only could he comprehend the Light Law Fragments, but also have the opportunity to comprehend the Destruction Law Fragment.
The fragmentation of the Bright Divine Domain shouldn't have happened long ago, so the Destruction Law Fragments brought by the Calamity should still be relatively intact.
"Daoist Qiao, can I ask how long you've been trapped here?"
"One hundred and thirty-one years," Qiao Qianhe sighed.
If Ding Huan hadn't come to save him, he could only hold on for a few more years at most.
It's just that he was unwilling, otherwise, he would have long given up.
Ding Huan immediately said, "Daoist Qiao, could you engrave the location of the Bright Divine Domain for me?"
Qiao Qianhe, without much thought, took out a Direction Jade Scroll and handed it to Ding Huan: "This is the cosmic position of the Bright Divine Domain.
It's just that the laws in the Cosmic Void have shattered too severely. After such a long time, this position might appear somewhat vague."
As he searched for the Fourth Step of Dao Certification in the void, he recorded the cosmic position wherever he went using a Jade Scroll.
The only regret is that this Direction Jade Scroll is time-sensitive.
Just as he said, the current Cosmic Void is filled everywhere with fragmented Cosmic Law, which can crumble at any moment.
So the position he recorded might not always be accurate.
"Thank you."
Ding Huan took the Direction Jade Scroll and said to Qin Qin: "Qin Qin, you and Daoist Qiao go back to Little Heavenly Ruins first. I'll take a look at the Bright Divine Domain, and then contact you when I return to Little Heavenly Ruins.
Daoist Qiao, let us exchange a Communication Bead."
Ding Huan did not invite Qiao Qianhe to help him right now; Qin Qin would inform Qiao Qianhe of all the details.
When he returns to Little Heavenly Ruins, he will then invite Qiao Qianhe.
Qiao Qianhe had given a Direction Jade Scroll to the Bright Divine Domain, which he was very satisfied with.
Because of the great Cosmic Calamity, the higher the Cosmic Rule level in the universe, the more broken the rules are.
Qiao Qianhe's Direction Jade Scroll was recorded only a hundred years ago, so it should still be possible to locate the Bright Divine Domain.
"Brother Ding, let me go with you. The Bright Divine Domain has fragmented, and I can't feel the location now. I would like to go and see it as well."
Qin Qin immediately said.
Qiao Qianhe looked at Ding Huan in confusion: "Mr. Ding, the Bright Divine Domain has fragmented, the Light Principle has drifted to who knows where, going to the Bright Divine Domain now should be pointless."
Ding Huan smiled: "I'm just going to try my luck."
"Then let me take you," Qiao Qianhe said, though he feared that powerful figure, he remembered Ding Huan as his savior and spoke bravely.
Ding Huan waved his hand: "Brother Qiao, it's pointless for you to go. If you encounter that powerful one again, you'll be doomed."
"Without meeting you, I would have been doomed anyway," Qiao Qianhe refused without hesitation.
Now, he was sure that Ding Huan had not reached the Eternal Life Realm.
A cultivator who has not stepped into the Eternal Life Realm could comprehend the Descent Law, and could save him in the Descent Array; such a person will definitely not be a mere ordinary one in the future.
After witnessing that powerful figure, Qiao Qianhe was no longer the same person as before.
At Little Heavenly Ruins, he was extremely proud.
He believed no one had a talent stronger than his, not a single person to be found.
It was for this reason that he dared to propose to the Holy Daughter of Tian Huan Palace, which housed a Creation Realm powerhouse.
Even after being mocked and taught a lesson by the Palace Master of Tian Huan Palace and thrown out, he did not change his mind.
It was indeed so; he certified into the Creation Realm at Little Heavenly Ruins.
When he left Little Heavenly Ruins and discovered he was less than an ant in the hands of true powerhouses, he understood completely that he was merely a somewhat talented cultivator.
In the future, if he wanted better development, he had to associate with those talented powerhouses.
This was his realization after being trapped for over a hundred years in the Descent Array.
Ding Huan was just such a talented powerhouse, and after getting to know him, he was also a decent person.
Ding Huan saved him, and now going to the Bright Divine Domain, he just gave Ding Huan a direction, not daring to take Ding Huan there personally.
What would he use in the future to build a connection with Ding Huan?
Even Qin Qin could take Ding Huan to search for the Bright Divine Domain, how could Qiao Qianhe not?
Ding Huan was also from a Loose Cultivator background and understood the pride of someone like Qiao Qianhe.
He immediately said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's go together."
After saying this, he summoned his Cosmic Pot and invited Qiao Qianhe aboard.
"Qin Qin, why aren't you the Holy Daughter anymore?" Upon boarding the Cosmic Pot, Qiao Qianhe began to inquire about matters related to Qin Qin.
Qin Qin did not hide anything, telling about the destruction of Tian Huan Palace and how Ding Huan had gone to Tian Huan Palace.
"Brother Ding, you and Guan Huan destroyed Qu's Dao Court?" Qiao Qianhe found it hard to believe.
Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, probably because I destroyed Qu's Dao Court, the remaining four Dao Courts and several major business associations have joined forces to deal with me."
Qiao Qianhe listened excitedly, as he had long disliked Qu's Dao Court.
He never thought of destroying Qu's Dao Court himself, subconsciously feeling it was nearly impossible.
Now that Ding Huan had done what he didn't dare, his admiration for Ding Huan was indescribable:
"Brother Ding Huan, there are not many people I admire, and you are one of them. When you go for revenge in the future, count me, Qiao Qianhe, in."
(Good night, Daoist!)
