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

"Yes." Ding Huan understood the other party's meaning, but he wouldn't say he would hand over the cultivation technique.

The more good things he had, the safer he felt.

"If I ask you for the cultivation technique, would you give it?" Ke asked Ding Huan with a smile.

At this moment, rather than thinking of eliminating Ding Huan after getting the item, he was considering how to access Ding Huan's world.

To access Ding Huan's world, the first thing is to become familiar with Ding Huan's Great Dao.

To become familiar with Ding Huan's Great Dao, one must first understand Ding Huan's cultivation technique.

Ding Huan remained silent.

Just as Ke thought Ding Huan was not going to speak, Ding Huan suddenly spoke:

"It's not impossible to give you the Heaven Opening Divine Wood Technique, but before I've reached the Eternal Life Realm, I can only give you the latter half of it.

The condition is that you find me a place to retreat and verify my path to the Eternal Life Realm."

"Alright, it's a deal." Ke agreed to Ding Huan's proposal without hesitation.

Such a trifling nine-turn ant dares to haggle with him.

As long as he found a method to separate Ding Huan from his Great Dao World, he would immediately eliminate Ding Huan and strip away his Great Dao World.

Afterwards, Ke ceased speaking to Ding Huan and merely controlled the flying treasure for a swift escape.

To him, helping Ding Huan find a place for retreat was more pressing than his own matters.

Ding Huan remained silent, sitting to the side, seemingly awaiting the judgment of fate.

The truth was, Ding Huan understood clearly that there was a faint will lingering around him, observing the flow of his Dao Rhythm.

A month passed, and that faint will showed no sign of departing.

Yet, Ding Huan began to cultivate.

Like a prisoner who had been caught, initially tense and fearful, upon realizing his captor wasn't paying attention to him, he cautiously began to cultivate.

As soon as Ding Huan started cultivating, Ke perceived it.

He was overjoyed; finally, he had seized the moment.

As long as he could sense Ding Huan's Dao Principles, he could gradually spy on Ding Huan's Dao and then open up Ding Huan's world.

At this moment, Ke diligently ensured his will didn't seem abrupt, cautiously sensing Ding Huan's Dao Rhythms.

Soon, he captured a pure strand of wood attribute Dao Rhythm.

Indeed, it was cultivating the wood attribute Great Dao; Ding Huan hadn't deceived him.

As Ding Huan continued cultivating, that wood attribute Dao Rhythm became increasingly clear.

But that was all.

Though Ke had also interacted with the wood attribute, he couldn't gain anything he needed from Ding Huan's wood attribute Dao Rhythm.

After continuously observing Ding Huan for over a dozen days, Ke sighed and withdrew his will.

He was certain he couldn't spy on Ding Huan's Dao during cultivation to achieve the purpose of opening Ding Huan's Great Dao World.

For now, he didn't want to openly spy on Ding Huan's Dao Rhythms.

If Ding Huan got enraged and self-destructed, his loss would be huge.

He could only wait to obtain Ding Huan's cultivation technique and then feel Ding Huan's Dao through it.

As soon as Ke withdrew his will, Ding Huan knew.

His Dao Thought immediately wrapped around the Dao Line locked on him.

Under the Great Universe Technique, in only a short time, all the Dao Rhythm Laws and scattered path points locking his Dao Line were clear to Ding Huan.

Although the other guy's cultivation was much stronger.

The Great Dao he cultivated wasn't much in Ding Huan's eyes.

It didn't even compare to the No Beginning Dao, Hongmeng Dao, Five Elements Dao he'd given out.

From these Dao Lines,

Ding Huan could see Ke cultivated two types of Great Dao.

The first Great Dao seemed like some kind of Void Great Dao.

No wonder this guy could use hammer shadows in the Void to affect the flying Cosmic Pot.

He indeed had a certain degree of understanding of the Void.

However, it was unfortunate that this guy's Void Dao seemed to have marks and his cultivation had dropped significantly.

It wasn't surprising to Ding Huan that his cultivation had dropped; after the Cosmic Calamity, countless cultivators' cultivation had severely dropped. Not just the Ke before him.

Ding Huan was secretly shocked thinking about how terrifying this guy still was even after his cultivation had dropped significantly.

If his cultivation hadn't dropped, how strong would he have been?

Luckily, his cultivation had dropped.

Besides cultivating the Void Dao, this guy also cultivated another Great Dao, the Light Great Dao.

Ding Huan was sure this guy's cultivated Light Great Dao wasn't as good as the Light Dao Scroll, and didn't know which wild path he was following.

On the Dao Line binding him, the Light Dao Rhythm Law Aura was weak.

For Ding Huan, who had long refined the Light Law Star River and solidified the Light Law, such weak Light Dao Rhythms were truly not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Ding Huan wanted to cut his Dao Line, almost a matter of thought.

Ke's two types of Great Dao left Ding Huan somewhat perplexed.

Ke's Void Dao should be an outstanding Great Dao.

If he had cultivated such an outstanding Great Dao, the highest achievement should be much stronger than now. Why did he revise to practicing the Light Dao?

Think for a long time, Ding Huan still couldn't figure it out.

He could tear the Dao Line at any time; there was no need to study it further.

Coupled with being unable to cultivate, Ding Huan simply closed all his senses and divine consciousness and rested his eyes.

When Ding Huan was awakened by Ke again, twenty-seven years had already passed.

Ding Huan opened his eyes, hardly able to believe it.

During these years, he hadn't cultivated, merely slept, sealing his senses and divine consciousness.

Yet, his gains were even larger than from retreat.

He had an illusion; he could immediately construct a Law Star River he wanted within his Great Dao World.

If he now wished to step into the eleven-turn Saint, there's no need to refine a complete Law Star River again.

Indeed, sometimes endlessly retreating isn't the only choice in cultivation.

How many people can close their sensory awareness like this and waste time?

"Ding, we are about to reach the entrance to the Great Universe. I need to tell you a few things."

Ke's voice came.

Ding Huan stood up and carefully sat down in front of Ke.

Ke's expression turned very gentle:

"When we enter the Great Universe later, if you are asked, just say you are my disciple..."

Ding Huan looked at Ke somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding what Ke meant by this.

"But I haven't practiced your Cultivation Technique?" Ding Huan was confused.

Ke smiled, "It doesn't matter. Once you reach the Eternal Life Realm, I'll teach you.

There's one more thing you need to pay attention to. If there is life in your world, it's best to bring them all out now.

I'm not joking with you. If you don't take them out, it will be difficult to die by then.

Maybe I can't open your world, but in the Great Universe, there are plenty of strong beings who can. Moreover, they can check for life in your world without even opening it."

There was one more thing he didn't say, Ding Huan was someone he brought back.

If Ding Huan's world is opened by someone, he could select one item first.

Knowing Ding Huan had so many good things on him, just selecting one item he was naturally reluctant.

Now he also hoped Ding Huan's world wouldn't be opened by others.

Ding Huan replied earnestly, "No."

In his Cosmic World, there was Yi Jie. Yi Jie had been cultivating diligently over the years, but his cultivation was too weak, and he'd been wandering the void, so he never called Yi Jie out.

Even someone like Ke couldn't open his world, so he didn't believe there could be someone stronger than Ke.

He just listened to Ke's words idly.

Thinking about Ke's strength, Ding Huan couldn't help but ask a question:

"Can I ask what level the senior's cultivation has reached?"

As he asked, a flash of envious admiration gleamed in Ding Huan's eyes.

The light expression on Ke's face disappeared. He remained silent for a while before saying, "Long ago, I was just at the Fifth Step of Dao."

Indeed, this guy had surpassed the Fourth Step of Dao.

As if feeling that Ding Huan could no longer escape from his grasp, or perhaps wanting to vent his emotions, Ke's tone became deep:

"And I used to be at the Seventh Step of the Great Dao..."

Ding Huan's heart slightly skipped a beat.

This was someone of the same level as the former Lao Ga.

Ding Huan quickly echoed, "I know, after the Calamity, many seniors' cultivation levels have fallen somewhat..."

His heart skipped slightly, caught by Ke.

Ke didn't care and sneered, "Cultivation levels falling? Being alive is a blessing."

After speaking, Ke looked at Ding Huan, his tone even carried a bit of sincerity:

"Ding Huan, as long as you keep your promise, after reaching the Eternal Life Realm, give me your Cultivation Technique and Light Principle, I won't let you suffer.

Not only that, I will pass on my cultivated Void Path to you. This Great Dao is surely not inferior to your Wood Attribute Heaven Creation Technique.

Mine is an attribute-less Dao Technique, allowing you to reach greater heights in the future."

"Isn't the senior cultivating the Light Great Dao?" Ding Huan looked at Ke in disbelief.

Whether Ding Huan truly couldn't believe or pretended not to believe, Ke didn't care about telling these things to Ding Huan either:

"After the Cosmic Calamity, staying at the Fifth Step of Dao makes me luckier than ninety-nine percent of people.

It's just that my Void Path had developed Dao Traces and couldn't progress further, which is why I exchanged it with an old acquaintance for the Light Great Dao..."

"Why?" Ding Huan seemed to blurt out without thinking.

Ke paid no attention to Ding Huan's acting, nor did he care even if he knew Ding Huan was acting.

"Because my Void Path had problems before the Calamity hit, my son was slain, facing his murderer, I was more cultivated than him, yet couldn't do anything against him.

You don't understand that kind of despairing breakdown; at that moment, I knew I couldn't continue cultivating the Void Path.

It wasn't that my Dao was lacking, but my mindset was flawed."

Perhaps having suppressed it in his mind for a long time, Ke felt much more at ease in his mindset after saying this.

Ding Huan inwardly praised the one who killed Ke's son, deciding that if he ever met the person, he'd offer his thanks in person.

No wonder Ke switched to cultivating other techniques and wanted his Dao Technique.

Apparently, Ke knew that the cultivator who killed his son was strong, and the Dao Technique was extraordinary.

He had to cultivate an equally powerful technique to seek revenge.

Ke couldn't open his world, so he fixated on his Dao Technique.

Ke looked at Ding Huan and said, "If you give me the Light Principle, I will surely reach another height, and I will be very grateful to you."

Ding Huan caught the meaning behind the words.

In other words, if Ke obtains the Light Principle, he'll have a chance to re-enter the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan's expression remained unchanged.

He needed to reach the Great Universe and understand it before deciding what to do henceforth.

As the two spoke, the Flying Treasure suddenly trembled slightly.

Ding Huan dared not extend his Divine Will, feeling that Ke's Flying Treasure seemed to have entered a place similar to a Transmission Vortex.

Unfortunately, he had no way to extend his Divine Will to know the location of this Transmission Vortex.

The distance of this Transmission Vortex was obviously not short, lasting for over an hour.

The Flying Treasure came to a halt.

Ding Huan looked back. Where was there a vortex?

Ke's Flying Treasure stopped at a gigantic Void Square.

The Void Square was crowded with people.

Even without using Divine Will, Ding Huan could sense that there were almost no weaklings here.

Even the weakest cultivation was at the Quasi-Saint level.

"Follow me and don't look around." Ke's voice landed in Ding Huan's ear as he disembarked from the Flying Treasure.
