Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 360 - 355 Immortal Fate Passage

Ding Huan affirmed, "As long as this vortex is as I have conjectured, leading to a higher-grade Star Land, we are certain to see each other again."

Jia Baihe was silent for a long time before saying, "Then I’ll go first, take good care of yourself."

"Okay." Ding Huan didn’t find Jia Baihe’s behavior particularly strange.

For Jia Baihe, he might be her only friend.

Not only had he helped Jia Baihe remove the poison from her Tao Foundation, but he had also helped her perfect her Poison Dao. Anyone in her position would feel grateful to him.

Let alone Jia Baihe, who had no friends at all.

Watching Jia Baihe disappear into the vortex, Ding Huan threw out several Array Flags, as he intended to retrieve the Life and Death Mirror.

Whether the space outside would disappear or whether the cultivators in that space would perish were no longer within his control.

The opportunity for survival was the same for everyone, some seized it, and some did not, that’s all there was to it.

Array Flags fell one after another; Ding Huan forcibly rolled up the Life and Death Mirror and put it into the iron pot.

The whole space burst into waves of turbulence, and Ding Huan could clearly feel the space compressing and contracting.

What relieved Ding Huan was that the vortex had not disappeared.

Ding Huan did not immediately enter the vortex; instead, he began to set up a Protecting Array.

He spent a whole day here setting up a Level 9 self-repairing Protecting Array.

Any cultivator that reached the Earth Immortal Realm could blast open this Protecting Array and then enter the vortex channel.

Cultivators below the Earth Immortal Realm who came here could only sigh in front of the Protecting Array.

Although Ding Huan did not know whether there were dangers within the vortex, he was certain that the chances of survival for cultivators below the Earth Immortal Realm entering the vortex would not be great.

After all this was done, and after implanting two more superior Spirit Veins, Ding Huan finally plunged into the vortex.

Upon entering the vortex, the first thing Ding Huan felt was a faint Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The law of this Qi was definitely more sublime than that of Triple Heaven Star Land.

This even gave Ding Huan a feeling that if he could find a place here for closed-door cultivation, he might be able to comprehend a higher realm.

Ding Huan absorbed a bit of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here and immediately knew he was being overly optimistic.

The law of the Qi here was indeed higher than Triple Heaven Star Land’s, but the Qi was too thin. It was impossible to make progress in cultivation under such sparse Qi.

He wondered if the Earth Immortal cultivators who had entered before him had felt the same. If someone truly wished to assault the Immortal Bridge Realm here, they would fail without a doubt.

Moreover, cultivating here was not practical because the vortex carried a powerful impact force.

If one dared to cultivate here, they would soon be expelled from the vortex.

Ding Huan guessed that no one would dare to cultivate here, let alone linger.

No one knew if they would be able to re-enter after being expelled.

Luckily, the outward bursting force was not significant; Ding Huan did not rush forward but proceeded calmly.

He had a premonition that he might have to stay here for a long time.

After a month, Ding Huan felt that even without any additional attacks, enduring the relentless force of the vortex for too long was likely impossible for anyone.

Even with his Dantian stars and the Tao Universe in his Sea of Consciousness, he suspected that he could not last many years.

As for others like Jia Baihe, lasting a year would be quite good.

During Ding Huan’s moments of unease, his Divine Will actually perceived a spot not influenced by the vortex’s suction.

Ding Huan immediately landed on it, and upon arrival, he felt that people had rested here before.

This place indeed had no vortex suction force and allowed for recovery of True Yuan and Divine Soul.

Persistently deploying Divine Will could harm the Divine Soul; since there were spots to rest in the vortex channel, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

He hoped that there would be more of these resting spots so that everyone could catch a breath.

After scanning the platform with his Divine Will, Ding Huan sensed at least a dozen Marks of Divine Will, including one left by Ji Gu.

Ding Huan understood why everyone left their Marks of Divine Will here; they were worried that there would be no other resting places ahead. If they couldn’t exit the vortex channel, they could at least rest here again.

Ding Huan guessed this situation probably wouldn’t occur. If one was too exhausted to move on, one could always bring out a Flying Treasure.

Didn’t every Earth Immortal here have several top-tier flying treasures?

Leaving the rest platform, Ding Huan continued forward and took out the iron pot.

Ding Huan quickly realized how naive his idea was.

As soon as the iron pot was brought out, it was as if he had violated a celestial law.

The force of the vortex intensified a hundredfold and directly bombarded the iron pot. Under such circumstances, proceeding was out of the question, as the Flying Treasure would be torn apart before long.

His iron pot would not be torn apart, but it was hard to say the same for other flying treasures.

Ding Huan hurriedly put away the iron pot and continued to fly forward cautiously.

Flying treasure couldn’t advance through this vortex channel; there would be places to rest after traveling for some time.

This made Ding Huan suspect that the vortex channel was very likely not a natural formation, it was extremely likely that it had been forcibly created by a powerful being.

It was as if that being had set up a Protecting Array outside the vortex, an array that allowed Earth Immortals to enter, while cultivators below the level of Earth Immortal were blocked from entering.

The one who had opened up this vortex channel likely hoped that only those with the ability could pass through the channel to enter higher-level realms; if one’s ability was inadequate, they should simply not ascend.

Suspecting that the passage might be artificially constructed, Ding Huan deliberately slowed down even more.

During his advance, his Divine Will communicated with the iron pot within his Sea of Consciousness.

He had no idea how long it would take to traverse this channel, but he was not willing to waste time on the journey. Continuing to refine the iron pot was the priority.

As time flowed away during the monotonous trek through the channel, Ding Huan was unlike ordinary cultivators; he possessed the Dantian Star, and his Divine Will was nearly inexhaustible.

Thus, he didn’t need to rest.

However, because he was refining the iron pot, his speed was slower than others.

A year later, after Ding Huan had refined the thirty-sixth prohibition of the iron pot and couldn’t refine the next, he decided not to continue refining it.

He planned next to continue refining the Dusk Drum and the Life and Death Mirror.

Logically, he should refine the Life and Death Mirror first, considering it had some connection to this vortex channel,

but Ding Huan felt the Dusk Drum was more useful to him. If he could refine the Dusk Drum to the thirty-sixth prohibition, then, when facing enemies, the combined power of the Drum Killing Divine Ability and the Reincarnation Spear would undoubtedly satisfy him.

When Ding Huan prepared to start refining the Dusk Drum, his Divine Will once again swept across a rest platform.

Even though Ding Huan didn’t need to rest, he still stepped onto the platform.

He wanted to see if Ji Gu and the others had passed by; if they had, they would have surely left behind some marks of Divine Will.

The moment Ding Huan stepped onto the platform, he knew that a battle had taken place here, and someone had perished.

Ding Huan was extremely sensitive to the aura of Daoist Rhythm; he instantly knew that the one fallen here was one of the group from before.

What relieved Ding Huan was that the fallen was not someone he knew.

After searching around, Ding Huan found a few marks of Divine Will, but none left by Ji Gu and her party.

Ding Huan decided to wait here for a while.

In case Ji Gu and the others had not yet passed through, he could wait for them here.

Had he known the vortex channel would be this tranquil and that resisting the forces of the vortex would suffice, he would have called everyone to come together.

On the platform, Ding Huan did not continue refining his magical treasure but took out the Earth Evil Illusion Technique given to him by Lao Liu.

Ding Huan’s Divine Will penetrated into the Seventy-two Illusion Techniques, and just as he finished the opening section, he felt his memory unexpectedly fill with the Tiangang Taoist Skill of the Thirty-six Heavens and the Earth Evil Illusion Technique of the Seventy-two Earths.

Shocked by the transformations within his memory of the Tiangang Taoist Skill and the variations of the Earth Evil Illusion Technique, Ding Huan looked again at the incomplete Seventy-two Earth Evil.

One was heavenly, and the other was earthly.

The Seventy-two Illusions given by Lao Liu were not only incomplete but also riddled with errors.

Ding Huan had always thought that Lao Liu’s memory was incomplete; given Lao Liu’s character, he was unlikely to engage in underhanded activities.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Now, it was clear that it was not the case.

The defects in the Earth Evil Illusion Technique that Lao Liu gave were not due to an incomplete memory; they were fundamental errors within the essence of Daoist Rhythm.

These errors wouldn’t affect the cultivation of divine skills but left behind significant risks.

Like deceiving oneself with a childish trick, these alterations could easily be seen through by others.

Ding Huan frowned; even if he hadn’t obtained the true Tiangang Taoist Skill and the Earth Evil Illusion Technique, he would have discovered these discrepancies just by practicing the Earth Evil Illusion Technique given by Lao Liu.

But Lao Liu lacked the attention to detail to tamper with it intentionally.

Mo Huaping.

It was definitely Mo Huaping, that woman was truly cunning. He just hoped that the contingency he left behind at the Blue Star Sect would take care of Mo Huaping if she ever returned there.

Having recalled the real Tiangang Taoist Skill and the Earth Evil Illusion Technique, Ding Huan naturally wouldn’t consider practicing the versions provided by Lao Liu any longer.

On this platform, he simply began to study the true Tiangang Taoist Skill and the Earth Evil Illusion Technique.

Both branches were Great Divine Powers, capable of transforming all things.

The Tiangang Taoist Skill was based on the Heaven and Earth Rules, emphasizing Law Illusion and Primordial Transformation. Meanwhile, the Earth Evil Illusion Technique involved the transformations of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Nine Palaces, and the Eight Trigrams, focusing on creating realistic external forms.

Logically, his current realm shouldn’t have allowed him to practice the Tiangang Taoist Skill.

However, since his Great Universe Technique was the evolution of every gene in heaven and earth, seeking out the All Things Principle, he could in fact practice the Tiangang Taoist Skill.
