Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 364 - 359: The Dirty and Messy Void City
He certainly couldn’t just wander aimlessly through the Void, spending time because of a single Immortal Essence Sprout.
Moreover, from his interactions with the people on this Void Spaceship, Ding Huan knew there were no decent individuals aboard.
Had it not been that his ring was nearly devoid of valuable items, the others would have definitely robbed him.
Even if he was unwilling to trade the Immortal Essence Sprout, they would have made a move to take it.
Thus, after obtaining the item, Ding Huan immediately rushed out of the Void Spaceship.
Returning to his own spaceship, Ding Huan took out the Immortal Crystal and observed it carefully.
The rules of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in this Immortal Crystal were definitely superior to that of a top-grade Spirit Stone, clearly indicating its nature as an Immortal Crystal.
If he had a bunch of these Immortal Crystals, advancing to the next level would be a matter of course.
The thin Primordial Qi in the Void must also be Immortal Spiritual Energy, just too sparse to be almost imperceptible.
Cultivating in such weak Primordial Qi was like a fantasy.
Indeed, the Immortal Crystal was a valuable item, yet from the other party’s expression, it seemed not easy to obtain.
Ding Huan didn’t use the Immortal Crystal but stored it away and brought out an iron pot instead.
He had refined the iron pot to the thirty-sixth level of prohibition, making it faster than ordinary Immortal Artifacts.
Following the directions on the Jade Scroll given by the other party, it only took a month before Ding Huan’s Divine Will detected a faintly discernible city.
This city seemed similar to the Wanjie Void Flying City, floating in the Void.
As his Divine Will passed over the city, it was blocked.
This blockage was similar to the Void Array Patterns that separated the Mortal World from the Taoist Realm in the Triple Heaven Star Land.
According to the Fourth Immortal Domain directions in his hand, the place that blocked his Divine Will should be the Fourth Immortal Domain.
Ding Huan stored the iron pot and maneuvered a high-grade Spiritual Artifact spaceship closer to this Void City.
Arriving outside the Void City, Ding Huan didn’t go in.
This Void City was even more rudimentary than the Wanjie Commerce’s Void Flying City, lacking even a Void Square outside.
Ding Huan’s gaze merely swept over the Void City and then focused on what he believed to be the Fourth Immortal Domain.
Indeed, this domain was wrapped in a layer of Void Array Patterns, completely impenetrable by Divine Will.
Just then, an extremely disheveled man suddenly emerged from the Void Array Patterns.
His gaze was somewhat scattered, his expression one of loss and sorrow.
Ding Huan quickly approached him, "Mr. Taoist."
The disheveled man looked at Ding Huan, and after several moments, he coldly chuckled and turned to walk towards the Void City, completely ignoring Ding Huan.
Ding Huan had originally planned to spend an Immortal Crystal to inquire whether this was the Fourth Immortal Domain but seeing the man’s demeanor, he lost interest in asking.
He too walked towards the Void City.
This Void City had no name, and its gates were unguarded, allowing anyone to enter and exit freely.

There was only an extremely basic Protecting Array, its purpose unknown.
Upon entering the Void City, Ding Huan’s first impression was that it was dirty, messy, and poorly managed.
Although those who appeared here were not immortals, anyone who managed to come here had at least reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
Logically, an Earth Immortal Cultivator with a simple spell could make the Void City clean and refreshing.
Yet this place was filled with trash, waste, and filth everywhere.
The buildings were in utmost disarray.
As for the streets...
Strictly speaking, there were no streets.
In other words, anyone interested could simply find a spot and construct a cave mansion.
Ding Huan’s gaze landed on the mottled ground; he was certain this city was unmanaged and that murders occurred frequently here, often without any consequences.
The mottled marks on the ground were layers of accumulated bloodstains.
"New here?" A languid voice sounded as a fierce-looking man appeared before Ding Huan.
"Yes, new here," Ding Huan no longer hid the fact.
It was obvious to see who was new here.
Those who had lived here for a long time had a languid aura, while Ding Huan’s aura was stable.
Living here with a languid aura seemed normal to Ding Huan.
The Immortal Spiritual Energy in this place was so weak that long-term existence in this environment with no Immortal Spiritual Energy replenishment, and no Spirit Stones, would indeed make for a weak aura.
"Give me your ring," the fierce man glanced at Ding Huan’s ring, his Divine Will directly penetrating it.
The Immortal Crystal that was in Ding Huan’s ring had already been tucked away, leaving only some common high-grade Spirit Stones.
Initially, there were only a few thousand Spirit Stones, but since he was entering the Void City, Ding Huan had placed more in his ring—still, it didn’t exceed thirty thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.
"Why should I give you my ring?" Ding Huan asked calmly.
"If you want to die, then don’t give..."
Before the fierce man could finish his sentence, he felt the space around him change instantaneously, as if a suffocating whirlwind of death swept over him.
When he saw Ding Huan’s fist heading towards his head, the fierce man almost went mad.
Who is this newcomer?
He desperately tried to unleash his Domain while also attempting to reveal his Magical Treasure.
It was then that he realized his Domain couldn’t expand under Ding Huan’s Domain. How could this be?
According to his experience, more than ninety percent of the newcomers here were Earth Immortal Cultivators.
Only a very few were from the Immortal Bridge Realm.
Despite the abundance of Immortal Bridge Cultivators in Void City, most of them had advanced after arriving here.
Newcomers, rich in Spirit Stones and profound in foundation, could easily advance to the Immortal Bridge Realm by exchanging a few Immortal Crystals.
However, advancing further onto the Immortal Road from the Immortal Bridge Realm was difficult.
As time passed, without additional support from Immortal Crystals, they would gradually weaken.
For Ding Huan, it didn’t matter whether his opponent was a weakened Immortal Bridge Realm cultivator or a cultivator in their prime; he was bold enough to confront them.
"Bang!" The fierce man could only watch helplessly as Ding Huan’s fist exploded his head. His Primordial Spirit even saw Ding Huan take his ring.
Before he could plead for mercy, Ding Huan had already turned him and his Primordial Spirit into nothingness with a blaze.
The whole action was smooth and unhindered, clearly a frequent practice.
Cultivators in the distance, seeing how fierce Ding Huan was, all lowered their heads and turned to leave.
In Void City, being the first to arrive didn’t mean being the strongest.
Cases of newcomers reverse-killing those from the Immortal Bridge were not uncommon.
It wasn’t that the Immortal Bridge Cultivators were weak, but being here long-term without Immortal Essence support significantly weakened them. How could they fight against newly arrived Earth Immortal Cultivators?
The fierce man had thought Ding Huan seemed not much of an opponent, his aura weak, not resembling a strong cultivator, and aimed to intimidate Ding Huan.
He never anticipated that Ding Huan wouldn’t beg for mercy and started fighting immediately, costing him his life.
After reducing the fierce man to nothingness, Ding Huan’s Divine Will detected that nobody cared about the situation here nor did anyone come to criticize him for the killing.
He was even more convinced that this place was indeed a survival of the fittest scenario.
There were no rules, no morals, just the power of the fist.
Ding Huan quickly stepped forward and stopped a frail-looking man who was about to leave, his aura equally feeble.
Seeing that Ding Huan had stopped him, the frail man shuddered, his face pale, and he could only cup his hands towards Ding Huan and ask, "Does Mr. Ding need something?"
Ding Huan’s act of killing had been clearly observed by him.
If Ding Huan wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t last a moment.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had nowhere else to go, he would never stay in this place.
"I am Ding Huan, may I ask for your esteemed name?" Ding Huan politely inquired about the other’s name.
"My name is Jian Zhengyan," the frail man quickly replied.
Ding Huan said, "I’ve just arrived here and am somewhat unclear about certain matters. I’d like to invite you to the tea house across the street to ask a few questions, if you’re available."
Ding Huan thought to himself, this guy’s appearance and his name, Jian Zhengyan, really don’t match at all.
Jian Zhengyan replied anxiously, "Mr. Ding, you can just ask here, I’ll tell you everything I know. Going to the tea house costs at least one top-grade Spirit Vein and a bowl of Immortal Essence Tea, which I can’t afford."
Ding Huan laughed, "I happen to have two top-grade Spirit Veins on me, let’s go, it’s my treat."
With that, Ding Huan headed straight towards the tea house.
Unlike elsewhere in Void City, where nothing had names, this tea house had a name—Void Tea House.
The person who named it clearly didn’t bother to think even for a half moment and casually named it Void Tea House.
The characters ’Void Tea House’ were as sloppy as the dirty and chaotic streets.
"Thank you, Mr. Ding," Jian Zhengyan hurriedly expressed his thanks.
Ding Huan inviting him to tea was like a pie falling from the sky.
Moreover, since Ding Huan was inviting him to tea in the tea house, there was no way he would kill him.
In Void City, any shop that existed was backed by formidable strength.
Those without strength had no right to operate a store here.
Who would dare to kill someone in someone else’s shop?
Upon entering the tea house, there were only a few people inside.
A shop assistant came over with a smile and asked, "What kind of tea would you like?"
Indeed, it was a tea shop’s assistant; his aura wasn’t weak at all, apparently having consumed quite a bit of Immortal Essence Tea.
Ding Huan took out a Storage Bag and passed it over, "I only have two top-grade Spirit Veins, wanting to get two bowls of tea, what would you recommend?"
The assistant took the Storage Bag and called out, "One bowl of low-level Immortal Essence Tea..."
"Wait, I ordered two bowls," Ding Huan promptly interrupted the assistant.
