Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 404 - 399 Mutual Calculations

Ku Tingyi knew that Wen Zhixi was going to refuse, but he wasn't in a hurry. After passing through the Marshland Shi, he could always come back to collect things.

The death of this woman was indeed a pity, but having several hundred thousand Immortal Crystals wasn't bad either.

What he didn't expect was that Wen Zhixi only hesitated for a moment before she nodded and said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking."

Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping were both stunned. Could it be that these two people in front of them also had the correct path for traversing the Billions of Void Swamps?

That was highly unlikely. Their path was passed down from Fu Shuangping's ancestors; not just anyone could have such a precious thing.

They had survived up to this day by relying on the leather scroll.

No, that wasn't right. They indeed had survived by luck up until today, but Wen Zhixi and Ding Huan had also made it here, hadn't they?

And they had even been captured by the Immortal Pond Human Beasts, unlike the other party that hadn't even been caught.

Thinking of this, Ku Tingyi became even more convinced that Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi had the leather scroll.

It wasn't just one person traversing the Billions of Void Swamps; having an extra leather scroll wasn't odd.

But the path through the Billions of Void Swamps could only have one true line; they couldn't allow other people to cross the Billions of Void Swamps too.

The group returned the same way they had come, and the traces left by the flying Immortal Demon Ants were obvious—not only was there a pungent stench, but there was also a clear trail left above the swamp.

"We need to move faster," Ding Huan suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ku Tingyi was one hundred percent sure that Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi had the leather scroll.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to suggest increasing their speed to catch up with the Immortal Demon Ants.

Even if Ding Huan hadn't proposed it, Ku Tingyi would have quickened his pace.

Just over two hours had passed, and they still hadn't caught up to the Immortal Demon Ants when space suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

Ku Tingyi was the first to stop, followed by Wen Zhixi.

They turned their heads, shocked at the sight of the swamp before them.

The entire swamp looked as if it had been plowed by an invisible colossal plow, with everything churning and then racing away like a wave line, swiftly disappearing from the edges of their Divine Wills.

The Divine Will that they swept over was directly torn apart by the Space Blade Light and couldn't be retracted.

Wen Zhixi's face paled slightly.

If they hadn't listened to Ding Huan's advice and fled here with Ku Tingyi, they would have been torn apart by either the plow or the Space Blade Light.

Even more bizarre was that following the path of the Immortal Demon Ant, they were all miraculously unharmed.

"Let's hurry. The place where we're standing will soon be dangerous," Ku Tingyi said before rushing towards the section of the swamp that had already been plowed.

He had seen Wen Zhixi returning as well.

Along the way, no one spoke a word anymore; they only knew to press forward.

Several days passed before Ku Tingyi suddenly stopped and looked at the divergent paths in front of him, suggesting, "I don't know which path to take now. Why don't we rest here for the night and decide tomorrow?"

Two paths lay before them: one was a water marsh, and the other was entirely dry and cracked from drought.

A narrow stream was snaking between the two paths, extending into the distance beyond the reach of their Divine Wills, appearing utterly ordinary.

If Ding Huan hadn't seen the previous Marshland Shi, he might have truly believed it to be ordinary.

Wen Zhixi nodded, "That was my thought as well."

After saying that, she took the initiative to find a place and set up a cave mansion.

Once inside the cave mansion, Wen Zhixi spoke after setting up the prohibitions, "Brother Ding, although I do not know how to remove the poison from the Void Poison Wood Arrow, there might be a way..."

Ding Huan sighed before Wen Zhixi could finish her words, "Zhixi, the reason I can't move is not because of the poison from the Void Poison Wood Arrow. Although the Void Poison Wood Arrow is fearsome, it hasn't really affected me."

"Then what is it?" Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan in surprise.

Ding Huan said slowly, "It's a drop of silver liquid. I don't know what it is, but it's incredibly terrifying."

Ding Huan didn't explain further. The Void Poison Wood Arrow might seem dreadful to others, but it was nothing in his eyes.

That poison had already transformed into a Poison Dao Law within his Milky Way.

The real threat to his life was that drop of silver substance. Not knowing what it was, as soon as it fell upon him, it seemed like he was recovering on the surface.

Only Ding Huan himself knew that the silver liquid was corroding his Sea of Consciousness.

Even the circulation of his Great Universe Technique couldn't peel away the Dao Rhythm Law contained in it.

How could this be?

His Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe was constructed by the Great Universe Technique, and now his Great Universe Technique depended on his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe; these were complementary.

If his Sea of Consciousness was corroded, what was left for him to cultivate?

Wen Zhixi didn't ask further. She knew if Ding Huan had no solution, any further thoughts from her would be in vain.

"Zhixi, the reason I wanted you to follow these two people is that they might have the leather scroll with the path out of the Billions of Void Swamps," Ding Huan said.

If it was before, Wen Zhixi would definitely have had some doubts.

After the incident with the Immortal Pond Human Beast, Wen Zhixi was sure that what Ding Huan said was right; these two people definitely had a reliable route map.

These two people didn't have any special characteristics, yet they were so familiar in this place — only a route map could clearly explain that.

"Why do they want to rest here for the night?" Wen Zhixi asked Ding Huan.

Ding Huan said, "I suspect they no longer want to take us with them…"

"Do they want to kill us?" Wen Zhixi looked at Ding Huan with confusion. With her strength, the idea of Ku Tingyi wanting to kill her and Ding Huan was a fantasy.

Ding Huan shook his head, "That Ku Tingyi won't kill you. He wants to control you, to make you one of his possessions. The man is unscrupulous and has evil in his eyes.

He also knows that even if he could defeat you, that doesn't necessarily mean he could capture you. So the choices before us definitely involve his plot, and we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what he says."

After speaking, Ding Huan closed his eyes. He needed to recover his ability to move as quickly as possible.

To stop that silver residue from continuing to corrode his Sea of Consciousness, he must figure out what the hell that stuff was.

Seeing Ding Huan close his eyes to meditate, Wen Zhixi did not continue to disturb him. Instead, she carefully set up several defensive formations and trigger arrays.

...

"Senior Brother, have you taken a fancy to that woman?" In another temporary cave mansion, Fu Shuangping nestled coquettishly against Ku Tingyi.

Ku Tingyi laughed awkwardly, "How could I? But I still have a use for that woman. I've been looking for an opportunity these past few days. As soon as I find one, I would have made my move."

Fu Shuangping seemed unconcerned about whether or not she was listening to Ku Tingyi, as her hand had already slipped inside his clothes.

Ku Tingyi caught Fu Shuangping's hand, "This isn't a good place. Let's wait until after we've dealt with those two."

All he felt inside was disgust and nausea. The naked image of this woman with the Immortal Pond Human Beast made him want to vomit just thinking about it.

Perhaps if he hadn't seen Wen Zhixi before, he might have been able to close his eyes and bear it.

But after seeing Wen Zhixi, the idea of being with such a disgusting woman was unbearable for him.

And yet, he couldn't kill the woman before him.

"Brother Yi, don't worry, my shielding prohibition is very strong. They wouldn't dare to spy on us, and even if they tried, they couldn't penetrate a fraction of an inch..." Fu Shuangping spoke while tearing open her own clothes.

Ku Tingyi forcibly controlled his discomfort. He knew that to leave the Billions of Void Swamps, he couldn't do without this woman.

Ding Huan's Divine Will could not detect the aura that was corroding his Sea of Consciousness, so he stopped and took out a drop of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow.

He couldn't allow Wen Zhixi to keep following Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping around. The pair were rather malicious. If he were to remain unconscious, Wen Zhixi might not be able to outwit these two rascals.

Besides, it was clear that Ku Tingyi no longer wanted to lead the way.

After taking a drop of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, Ding Huan's physical strength recovered a bit, and his Divine Will surged significantly.

Ding Huan knew this was only a temporary effect, and soon, that substance would corrode his Sea of Consciousness and Divine Will Immortal Essence again.

As his Divine Will surged, he immediately penetrated Ku Tingyi's cave mansion.

The Second Level defensive array and shielding array set by Fu Shuangping were child's play in Ding Huan's eyes.

His Divine Will easily breached the cave mansion's Protection Array Restriction and settled within.

The nauseating scene nearly made Ding Huan vomit.

Sensing Fu Shuangping's deeper involvement and knowing her cultivation was weaker, Ding Huan's Divine Will landed on her ring.

His Divine Will easily passed through Fu Shuangping's ring and found an ancient leather scroll.

The scroll clearly detailed a safe route through the Billions of Void Swamps, explaining how to navigate them, where it was safe to stop, and which places were dangerous…

Ding Huan quickly etched the contents of the scroll to memory. Just as he was about to withdraw his Divine Will, he saw a golden fruit.

The golden fruit was stored in a Jade Box with a prohibition, but such prohibitions meant virtually nothing to Ding Huan.

Even though it was only his Divine Will that touched the fruit, the sensation was exhilarating.

It was clear that stealing the fruit directly was not an option, as his power had not yet reached that level.

After hesitating, Ding Huan etched Teleportation Array Patterns onto the golden fruit. Once finished, he engraved a few Monitoring Array Patterns on the outside of Fu Shuangping's ring, then withdrew his Divine Will.

Compared to Fu Shuangping's involvement, Ku Tingyi suddenly said, "Sister Ping, I can't help but feel like we're being watched, and it's unsettling."

"Stop spouting nonsense. I'm a Second Level Immortal Array Master. Do you think those two could set up a First-level Immortal Array?" Fu Shuangping, irritated at her mood being spoilt, was quite displeased.

Ku Tingyi thought about it and realized she was right. Fu Shuangping's Array Dao was a family heritage, and she even obtained a legacy in the Billions of Void Swamps.

According to Fu Shuangping's ancestor's messages, a Second Level Immortal Array Master was an extremely admirable existence even among low-level cultivators.

With that in mind, how could Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi, whom they casually met in the Billions of Void Swamps, be Immortal Array Masters?

After withdrawing his Divine Will, Ding Huan kept thinking about the golden fruit.

That was definitely not a common item. Ding Huan even had a feeling that getting that golden fruit might very well stop his Sea of Consciousness from being further corroded.
