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

"Fellow Daoist Chang, I'm afraid we can no longer stay in Void City," Ding Huan said, watching Wu Hongtian leave. He knew the other party would definitely not let Chang Danyi off the hook.

Chang Danyi replied, "When recruited as an Array Master for an Immortal Sect, one does have the privilege to bring someone along."

Although she had guessed that Ding Huan would likely take her, she couldn't help but be excited internally. What she feared the most was that Ding Huan would say he couldn't take her.

For so many years, what she had been yearning for was to join an Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, although her combat ability was passable, she wasn't proficient in Array Dao, Alchemy Dao, talismanic Dao, or artifact Dao.

Besides, she didn't understand the necessary skills an Immortal Sect required, such as purifying Immortal Spirit Grass, refining materials, cultivating Immortal Spiritual Grass, or nurturing various Immortal Essence Crystal Stones.

Thus, she could only hope to become a follower of an Array Master.

That was why she took the initiative to seek out Ding Huan when she found out that he was versed in Void Array Patterns.

Seeking Ding Huan out was a decision she hesitated over for several days.

After all, Ding Huan had offended Crazy Wu, and if Crazy Wu found out that she had gone to Ding Huan, she would surely be dead.

And that was indeed the case. If it wasn't for Ding Huan's intervention, she would have certainly died at the hands of Crazy Wu.

Ding Huan also hadn't expected such treatment for an Array Master. He laughed and walked up to Xin Chuan, saying, "Deacon Xin, this is my Array Formation Assistant. I would like to bring her with me into the Immortal Domain. Is that possible?"

Xin Chuan waved his hand, "Of course, there's no problem. You can decide for your own Array Assistant Disciple."

Ding Huan nodded, realizing that an Array Formation Assistant was referred to as an Array Assistant Disciple.

...

The two-day recruitment period quickly passed, and the Hundred River Immortal Path was only recruiting one Array Master, two Refining Masters, one Spirit Grass Cultivator, and one Mineral Washer.

The mission was completed perfectly within the two days, and Hundred River Immortal Path did not require the Void Immortal Spirit Plants such as Void Immortal Essence sprouts.

So, as the two days passed, Xin Chuan summoned a Low Grade Immortal Artifact and led a group of newly recruited members into the Fourth Immortal Domain.

Ding Huan's Divine Will was always reaching out. Upon entering the Fourth Immortal Domain, he felt an immense vastness.

Disregarding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it truly possessed the vastness comparable to the Immortal Realm.

Peaks stretched without end, mists swirled, rivers flowed like seas, crisscrossing in a majestic display.

Trees, grass, plains, lakes...

All these landscapes melded together, giving Ding Huan, who had spent years in the Void, a refreshing and delightful feeling.

Even Chang Danyi couldn't help but express her amazement a few times. The Immortal Domain was truly an Immortal Domain; where in the Void could such a vast scene be found?

But after the delight, Ding Huan noticed a fatal problem.

The grass was ordinary, no different from that on Earth. The trees were ordinary too, the kind that could grow by the roadsides in the Mortal World.

The mountains and rivers, despite their grandeur, did not carry a trace of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

There was air in this space, yet not a hint of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

In the Void, there was at least a faint presence of Immortal Spiritual Energy, but this place had none at all.

His Divine Will swept out but didn't catch a single person in sight.

He could see places sealed off by Big Arrays, which his Divine Will couldn't penetrate, probably where the Immortal Sects were situated.

Ding Huan thought to himself, no wonder those who got expelled from Immortal Sects would choose to leave the Immortal Domain after some time.

What could one do by staying in the Immortal Domain?

With no Immortal Spiritual Energy, and no people around.

A cultivator who cannot cultivate in seclusion, wandering around this boundless Immortal Domain like a fool, would suffocate from boredom over time.

Leaving the Immortal Domain was at least an opportunity to fight for survival, as some fortunes could still be obtained in the Void.

Ding Huan assumed that the name Hundred River Immortal Path must be related to a Cultivation Technique.

Because his Great Universe Technique had a stage called Milky Way, and he was currently in the Star River Stage.

The Cultivation Technique of Hundred River Immortal Path probably involved the concept of True Yuan forming into rivers during cultivation, right?

When Xin Chuan controlled the Immortal Artifact to land outside the Hundred River Immortal Path, Ding Huan sighed. He understood why the Sect was named Hundred River Immortal Path.

The words 'Hundred River Immortal Path' inscribed outside the Sect were quite impressive, at least much more so than Chang Danyi's Void Tea House.

But observing the numerous rivers intertwining outside the Hundred River Immortal Path, although they looked impressive from afar, the realization that the name truly derived from these rivers made Ding Huan feel somewhat disappointed.

It seemed that one shouldn't hold too many expectations for this Immortal Domain.

As Ding Huan and the others followed Xin Chuan into the Sect of Hundred River Immortal Path, Ding Huan finally sensed Immortal Spiritual Energy.

The Immortal Spiritual Energy here wasn't very rich, but it was enough for cultivation.

Everyone was quite satisfied, having survived on the scarce Immortal Essence of the Void for years.

Suddenly arriving at a place where one could absorb Immortal Spiritual Energy for cultivation was simply too dreamlike to be real.

"Deacon Xin, you're back," a middle-aged man in yellow clothes descended from the void.

Xin Chuan hurried to greet him with a bow, "Yes, Xin Chuan has seen Elder Kong."

Elder Kong's face was all smiles as he said, "Ah, Deacon Xin, you must have worked hard this time. It looks like you've recruited quite a few talents."

Xin Chuan quickly responded, "Yes, this time I recruited an Array Master... Ding Huan, come here a moment."

While speaking, he beckoned to Ding Huan.

When Ding Huan came over, Xin Chuan said, "Elder Kong, this Ding Huan is really a talent. His level in array crafting is absolutely the strongest I've ever seen.

With him joining our Sect, our Hundred River Immortal Path will even have a chance to climb the Immortal Domain Sect rankings."

In the Fourth Immortal Domain, the top ten Immortal Sects have the opportunity to go to the Fifth Immortal Domain to establish Sect residences.

Many Immortal Sects rise swiftly because of finding powerful individuals, allowing the Sect to climb into the top ten of the Fourth Immortal Domain, and then gaining entry to the Fifth Immortal Domain.

In the Fourth Immortal Domain, all places with Immortal Spiritual Energy had owners, with only one exception.

This exception is the Ascension Arena of the Fourth Immortal Domain's Immortal Sects.

The Ascension Arena of the Fourth Immortal Domain is rich with Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Not only does this Ascension Arena have Immortal Spiritual Energy, but it also covers a very vast area.

The sprawling Ascension Arena actually consists only of a row of huge Array Formation Screens.

On the largest Array Formation Screen is the comprehensive strength ranking of all the major Immortal Sects, the higher the rank, the stronger the Sect's power.

The basis for the ranking mainly relies on the Sect's Immortal Spiritual Energy concentration and the Sect's comprehensive achievements in alchemy, equipment, talismanic, array, plantation, refining, and so on.

Immortal Sects that make it onto this comprehensive strength ranking would not feel ashamed for being ranked low on the Array Formation Screen.

In fact, being on the ranking screen is itself a glory for the Immortal Sects.

Because many Immortal Sects don't even qualify to be on this ranking.

This Array Formation ranking only includes the top thousand Immortal Sects in the Immortal Domain. Sects ranked below one thousand do not qualify for ranking on the Array Formation Screen.

That's why Xin Chuan mentioned the chance to climb the Immortal Domain Immortal Sect rankings.

Aside from the Immortal Sect of the First Immortal Domain's ranking, there are also Daoist Skill ranking Array Formation Screens, Array Dao ranking Screens, Alchemy Dao ranking Screens...

These Array Formation Screens are all aimed at individuals.

Every cultivator able to rank on the Array Formation Screens is a standout in the Fourth Immortal Domain, and is a target for all Sects to want to recruit.

Elder Kong clearly did not pay attention to Ding Huan introduced by Xin Chuan but said cheerfully, "Good, good, we can always trust Deacon Xin's work.

However, Deacon Xin, having just returned to the Sect, will have to trouble you with another matter..."

Xin Chuan was stunned, no way? He had just recruited people and now had to leave again? Was he being singled out to be taken advantage of?

"Elder Kong, could someone else go this time?" Xin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

Elder Kong said, "This time it's an opportunity, the Fourth Immortal Domain's Immortal Sect conference. Are you sure you do not want to go, Deacon Xin?"

Immortal Sect conference?

After hearing it was the Immortal Sect conference, Xin Chuan hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Then I'll make the trip. Elder Kong, I'll leave the newly recruited with you. Ding Huan, you should arrange for him to go to the Protecting Array side, he is very capable."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me," Elder Kong took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to Xin Chuan, with a tone full of assurance and responsibility.

Xin Chuan obviously had great expectations for Ding Huan, even making a point to greet him in person before leaving.

After Xin Chuan's departure, Elder Kong beckoned, and a cultivator, also just at the Immortal Bridge Realm, hurried over. "Elder Kong, do you have any orders?"

Pointing at Ding Huan, Elder Kong said, "Gu Yuan, he's the new Array Master. Show him around, and inform him of his duties."

Elder Kong didn't even remember Ding Huan's name, showing that Xin Chuan's instructions were in vain.

In his eyes, an ant who seemingly hadn't even reached the Immortal Bridge was talking with him about his level in array crafting, to which he could only respond with a laugh.

It must be that this newcomer had given Xin Chuan some benefits, which was why Xin Chuan remembered him and brought him to the Sect.

For Xin Chuan's sake, he didn't expose this and even took the initiative to arrange Ding Huan's first task.

"Yes," the disciple agreed, and beckoned to Ding Huan.

After Ding Huan and Chang Danyi came over, the disciple said, "Follow me."

He led the way, while also explaining the Immortal Sect rules to Ding Huan and Chang Danyi; first, one was not allowed to approach any Immortal Peak within the Sect, and as for the Immortal Sect Hall, that was even more off-limits—otherwise, one would bear the consequences.

Secondly, one was not allowed to leave their post without permission while working in the Sect, or else they would be expelled.

Ding Huan did not care. Even if not at the location of the Immortal Peaks, as long as he was within the Hundred River Immortal Path, the Immortal Spiritual Energy was sufficient for him to step into the next realm.
