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

Ding Huan woke to find Wen Zhixi cultivating with a faint sense of crisis enveloping him. His Immortal Essence was almost gone, and his Divine Will could only extend about ten feet.

Intuition told Ding Huan someone was approaching.

First, he put away the iron pot, then glanced at the Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein beside him, inwardly chastising Wen Zhixi for her carelessness.

Planting Immortal Spirit Veins for cultivation, who does it this way?

He struggled to inscribe several Moving Array Patterns and took away the nearby Immortal Spirit Vein.

As soon as he removed the Immortal Spirit Vein and the iron pot, Ding Huan felt a bout of darkness sweep before his eyes, and he could barely croak, "Zhixi…"

His voice was too faint, Wen Zhixi did not notice.

Ding Huan stopped cultivating, and Wen Zhixi's grasp on the Heaven and Earth Dao immediately went fuzzy.

After Ding Huan removed the Immortal Spirit Vein, she couldn't absorb any Immortal Spiritual Energy, and only then did she open her eyes.

When she saw that Ding Huan had woken up, she exclaimed with great joy, "Brother Ding, you're awake?"

"Be careful of the people coming..." Ding Huan managed to utter these few words before fainting once again.

People were coming?

Wen Zhixi's Divine Will swept out and she noticed a man and a woman walking towards them in the distance.

The man was bald, his face pale, his eyes squinting. The woman had a decent appearance but there was a trace of ferocity in her brow.

Both seemed somewhat weak; they clutched Attack Treasures, their faces filled with wariness as they neared her cultivation spot.

Wen Zhixi was astounded. It was impressive that other people managed to safely get to this place.

No wonder Ding Huan took the Immortal Spirit Vein; these two seemed to have ill intentions.

What puzzled her was why the Killing Trap Array Patterns laid down by Ding Huan had not been triggered, but she soon understood.

The Killing Trap Array Patterns laid by Ding Huan required the Immortal Spirit Source from that Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein. Once Ding Huan took the Immortal Spirit Vein, the Killing Trap Array wouldn't trigger.

She decided to simply walk out of the cave mansion, "Fellow Daoists."

Among the two, the man was a Mid-Stage Profound Immortal, and the woman seemed to be a Late Stage Golden Immortal—Wen Zhixi didn't mind.

Her strength had surged linearly since Ding Huan forcibly extracted the Mottled Dao Rhythm from her, and ever since cultivating alongside Ding Huan, her cultivation returned to the Mid-Stage Profound Immortal.

"Is it you who killed Lord Xianze?" The man upon seeing a stunningly beautiful woman come out was taken aback and widened his eyes.

"Who are you?" Wen Zhixi felt her guess might have been incorrect, these two didn't seem like they had just arrived.

The female cultivator quickly explained, "This senior sister, my name is Fu Shuangping, and this is my senior brother Ku Tingyi. We entered the Billions of Void Swamps hundreds of years ago, and when we reached the swamp, we were captured and imprisoned by Lord Xianze. Not long ago, the prohibition on the cave mansion where we were held collapsed, and we were able to escape."

Wen Zhixi suddenly realized; it turned out that she and Ding Huan killed the Xianze Orc and removed the Immortal Spirit Vein afterward, and the prohibition holding these two lost the control of Xianze Orc's Divine Will and the Immortal Spirit Source, thus it collapsed.

So, in a way, she and Ding Huan had saved these two people.

As Wen Zhixi was about to speak, Ding Huan woke up again.

Seeing him awake, Wen Zhixi hurriedly rushed to support him.

Standing outside, Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi could clearly see the scene inside the stone house; Ding Huan appeared weak, as if he didn't have long to live.

"Zhixi, is the senior who killed the Xianze Orc still here?" Ding Huan struggled to say a sentence but could not continue.

At that time, it was already commendable that Ding Huan remained lucid.

Though Ding Huan's voice was very low, the outsiders Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi heard him clearly. They realized that someone had indeed killed the Xianze Orc, allowing them to live.

Hearing that it wasn't Wen Zhixi who killed the Xianze Human Beast, Fu Shuangping and Ku Tingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior sister, do you need our help?" Fu Shuangping asked again.

Wen Zhixi stepped out again and calmly responded, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, but my brother and I do not require any help. Please proceed."

Ku Tingyi's gaze lingered on Wen Zhixi's face, inwardly marvelling at such beauty. Not only in the Billions of Void Swamps, even within the Immortal Land, such a woman should not be missed.

He took a breath and with a bow said, "Junior sister, why don't we travel together? The Billions of Void Swamps are no simple place, and it's quite dangerous to walk alone here."

Wen Zhixi was immediately going to refuse when she heard Ding Huan say, "Zhixi, maybe we should go with them."

Wen Zhixi was stunned, what did Ding Huan mean by this? She wasn't afraid of these two people, yet Ding Huan himself was struck by the formidable poison of the Void Poison Wood Arrow, it would obviously be very dangerous to go with others.

Immediately, Wen Zhixi realized that ever since meeting Ding Huan, he had always been extremely cautious and wouldn't give bad advice. Previously, Ding Huan had deliberately said that an expert had killed the Xianze Orc, probably worried they wouldn't take them along.

With that thought, she smiled and said, "Alright, since the two fellow Daoists have invited us, my brother and I will join you. Just a moment please."

Wen Zhixi went back into the stone house and looked at Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, let me carry you."

Ding Huan apologetically smiled, "Sorry for troubling you."

It wasn't that he must follow the man and woman.

He had just calculated that there was a high probability that these two possessed knowledge on how to navigate through the Billions of Void Swamps.

If he missed out on them, even if he and Wen Zhixi could escape from the Billions of Void Swamps, there's no telling how many years it would take.

Lying on Wen Zhixi's back, the faint scent coming from her made Ding Huan struggle to control himself, even though his Immortal Essence was restricted and his Sea of Consciousness was still corroding.

Feeling Ding Huan's body temperature rise, Wen Zhixi's face slightly reddened but soon returned to normal.

Having experienced quite a lot together with Ding Huan, there was nothing to feel embarrassed about, and she carried Ding Huan out of the cave.

"Where did that senior who killed the Immortal Pond Human Beast go?" Ku Tingyi could not help but ask.

Without waiting for Wen Zhixi to answer, Ding Huan sighed, "That Immortal Pond creature is extremely cunning. Seeing it was no match for that senior, it took a huge boulder from here and fled."

The senior naturally wouldn't let it go and chased after it. "Wen Zhi and I have been waiting here, but having waited for half a year, we haven't seen the senior return, and I guess that he won't be coming back."

"Did the senior take anything else before he left?" Ku Tingyi asked hastily.

Wen Zhixi answered, "There was also an Immortal Spirit Vein here, which the senior pulled out too."

Hearing that the Immortal Spirit Vein had indeed been taken, Ku Tingyi couldn't even bother to disguise his disappointment.

However, Ding Huan promptly spoke, "Before that senior left, he gave us several hundred thousand Immortal Crystals, and told us to cultivate well."

He couldn't let these two just slip away quietly, so he had to make them remember something worthwhile.

Had Wen Zhixi not mentioned that the Immortal Spirit Vein was taken, Ding Huan definitely would have claimed the Immortal Spirit Vein was on him.

Sure enough, hearing about the several hundred thousand Immortal Crystals on them, Ku Tingyi's eyes brightened.

"Senior Brother, I still don't know how to address you and this female senior," Fu Shuangping looked at Ding Huan, her tone flirtatious.

Without waiting for Ding Huan to speak, Wen Zhixi smiled and said, "My name is Wen Zhixi, and this is Brother Ding Huan."

"Did you also come from the Extreme Polar Continent?" Fu Shuangping continued, smiling.

Wen Zhixi shook her head, "No, we are from the Fifth Immortal Domain."

Ding Huan's eyes slightly narrowed. He had heard of the Extreme Polar Path mentioned by Fu Shuangping.

The Extreme Polar Continent was not an Immortal Domain but a regular Cultivation Continent.

In a former life, while he was living in the Changyi Continent, he heard of a real Cultivation Continent where Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was abundant, and the heavenly rules were perfected -

essentially, it was a place highly suitable for cultivation.

But for ordinary people, going to the Extreme Polar Continent was like a fantasy, utterly unrealistic.

At that time, it was considered a legend, not taken seriously by anyone, nor did he himself believe in it. Unexpectedly, this continent actually existed.

"Friend Fu, is the Extreme Polar Continent far from here?" Ding Huan asked.

Just as Fu Shuangping was about to speak, a mass of darkness appeared below them.

"It's a Level 1 Immortal Demon Ant; run quickly..." Ku Tingyi's expression also changed.

In this swamp, the Demon Ant was among the most dreadful creatures.

Those below a Level 1 Immortal Demon Insect weren't too bad because they couldn't fly.

Once they reached the status of a Level 1 Immortal Demon Ant, they would grow wings.

With wings, the Immortal Demon Ants could fly swiftly above this swamp.

They could sense spatial misalignments to avoid them and surround the cultivators in the shortest time.

Once the cultivators here were surrounded by an endless swarm of Immortal Demon Ants, it would essentially be a dead end.

Imagine how terrifying it would be for so many Immortal Demon Ants to swarm up.

Not to mention sucking blood, every bit of their bodies would be devoured cleanly, a most disgusting way to die.

"Zhixi, just make sure to follow these two," Ding Huan said.

Wen Zhixi understood that Ding Huan had a purpose for revealing they had valuable goods on them.

Without needing Ding Huan to remind her, she closely followed Ku Tingyi and Fu Shuangping.

It must be said that this pair was extremely experienced here; they made several quick turns and soon left the swarm of Immortal Demon Ants behind.

"Friend Wen, you are very agile," Ku Tingyi couldn't help but praise after seeing Wen Zhixi carrying Ding Huan and still easily managing to keep up.

While speaking, he was thinking about how to learn Wen Zhixi's escape skill.

Wen Zhixi smiled slightly, "Friend Ku and Friend Fu are also quite skilled. I did my utmost to barely keep up with you, nearly getting surrounded by the Immortal Demon Ants."

Ku Tingyi couldn't tell if Wen Zhixi was mocking them; however, while running, he had indeed tried to trap Wen Zhixi into the swarm of Immortal Demon Ants.

Unfortunately, because Wen Zhixi followed them so closely, he hadn't succeeded.

"Friend Wen," Ku Tingyi said with a solemn face, "based on our experience, after the Immortal Demon Ants swarm, a swamp tide will occur. It's very dangerous. We must turn back and escape in the direction those Immortal

Demon Ants came from."

Wen Zhixi was stunned, was he suggesting that they go back and chase after the Immortal Demon Ants? After having just escaped from the swarm, to return to it?
