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

"Did your father like Shi Li?"

"No, he repeatedly advised me not to be with Shi Li, saying that Shi Li was hypocritical and shameless, a pretender of virtue. But I was dazed at the time and simply wouldn't listen," Rong Xiyu's eyes were filled with regret.

"Take me to the Odd Jobs Peak," Ding Huan did not continue to inquire.

Odd Jobs Peak was at the very corner of the Thirty-Three Paths, and the mountain was still there.

Compared to the rest of the Immortal Peaks of the Thirty-Three Paths, all of which had been rolled away by people, this Odd Jobs Peak was so low that no one wished to move it.

Ding Huan stood on Odd Jobs Peak, and did not feel anything different; his Divine Will penetrated downward, and there wasn't half a bit of anomaly under his Divine Will.

Rong Xiyu said from the side, "After I recovered my physical body, I've come here no less than a hundred times, and not once could I sense that Dao Vein.

"I don't know if the Dao Vein my father spoke of is here. If it's not here, I guess my father must have taken it."

Ding Huan waved his hand; he sat on the mountaintop and began to circulate the Great Universe Technique Circulation.

This time, the Great Universe Technique Circulation also brought the mountain beneath him into its cycle, and just after one cycle, Ding Huan felt a Taoist Aura that was difficult to describe in words.

This really was the Tao, no, it should be a kind of Law, but this Law was as profound as the Great Dao.

Ding Huan couldn't put into words what he felt; he cultivated the Great Universe Technique, so perhaps the sensation wasn't as profound.

If he were cultivating some other Cultivation Technique, and he wasn't so clear about the Heaven and Earth Rules, once he felt this Law, he even doubted whether he could create a new Cultivation Technique.

Indeed, because of this clear Great Dao Law, which utterly transcended the Laws of this realm,

it gave the feeler an illusion of looking down upon this realm.

Could it really be a Dao Vein? What exactly is a Dao Vein?

Ding Huan's Great Universe Technique continued to circulate, and soon he understood what was happening.

It wasn't that he couldn't touch that vein, but because there was a natural shielding Prohibition here.

If not for a Level 9 Immortal Array Emperor, perhaps no one could easily discover this shielding Prohibition.

Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique, so he was the clearest about the All Things Principle of Heaven and Earth.

If Rong Xiyu hadn't brought him here, he could have passed by a million times without discovering this natural shielding Prohibition.

Could this be a divine item concealing itself?

Ding Huan pulled out Array Flags, tossing them one after another.

A day later, he retrieved all the Array Flags, then started to redeploy them again.

It clearly wasn't easy to open this natural shielding Prohibition. Ding Huan also kept making mistakes, then redoing everything.

In this constant process of making mistakes and starting over, Ding Huan sensed the changes in the Dao Rhythm of the natural Prohibition, and his Array Dao also soared.

On the third day, Ding Huan had already become a Level 6 Immortal Array Master, and he finally managed to open the concealed Prohibition.

Thick Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi diffused out, the boundless Taoist Aura almost permeating one's soul.

No need for cultivation, just feeling this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was enough to sense one's own Dao Rhythm improving, their mind growing more perfect.

Ding Huan quickly grabbed a whole bunch of Array Flags, locking this place up again.

Once this aura leaked out, there was no need to cultivate anymore; he could just wait to die.

As Ding Huan was setting up the shielding Immortal Array, Rong Xiyu was already kneeling on the ground with a face full of tears, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Once Ding Huan had set up the Prohibition that prevented the overflow of the Daoist Rhythm, he saw Rong Xiyu kneeling in front of a skull.

The skull was long dead, and embedded in the skull's back was a cyan sword.

Ding Huan had already seen the two characters on the hilt of the sword: Shi Li.

Behind the skull, there was a thirty feet long Primordial Qi Vein.

This vividly clear Heaven and Earth Law was diffusing from this Primordial Qi Vein.

Looking at this Primordial Qi Vein, every pore in his body relaxed.

Is this the Dao Vein?

Ding Huan walked over, and quickly his complexion changed; he hurriedly threw a lot of Array Flags, enclosing the Dao Vein into the iron pot.

"Senior Sister Rong, let's hurry away. The shielding array I set up cannot lock up the vast aura of this Dao Vein."

"It was me who killed my father," Rong Xiyu's complexion turned pale, she finally understood why her father had disappeared.

Her father had never left the Immortal Sect, it was Shi Li who had conspired against her father.

"Cry later," Ding Huan felt a strong sense of crisis.

Rong Xiyu dared not continue crying, she quickly placed her father's remains into her ring. Before she could even speak, she felt her body lighten.

As she realized she was on Ding Huan's iron pot, the iron pot had already burst out of the Thirty-Three Paths.

"Senior Sister Rong, if we had left any later, it might have been dangerous."

Ding Huan finally understood why Rong Xiyu's father hadn't taken away the Dao Vein, he simply couldn't take it.

At that moment, Ding Huan just hoped that there were no powerhouses near the Thirty-Three Paths.

If there were powerhouses, they would definitely sense this vast Daoist Rhythm, and then come to the Thirty-Three Paths.

Rong Xiyu gradually calmed down from the previous chaos, she bowed to Ding Huan:

"Junior Brother Ding, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that my father perished within his own Immortal Sect, and I even became a Taoist couple with the enemy who killed my father."

Rong Xiyu almost wished she could die in place of her father right now.

Because when her father disappeared, she and Shi Li had not yet become a Taoist couple.

Ding Huan could vaguely guess the cause of Rong Xiyu's father's death.

It was either because Shi Li had discovered the secret of Rong Xiyu's father and wanted to force him to hand over the Dao Vein, or because Rong Xiyu's father did not agree to let his daughter marry Shi Li.

No wonder Rong Xiyu's father, even though just a lowly miscellaneous disciple with poor qualifications, became the Sect Master of the Thirty-Three Paths.

This Dao Vein was simply too heaven-defying.

It's not merely a miscellaneous disciple, even a mortal, it seems, could potentially reach the level of an Immortal King with it.

The Dao Vein was only thirty feet long, clearly a very damaged Dao Vein, and it possibly even originated from a higher plane.

The thought of a higher plane made Ding Huan shudder.

He knew above an Immortal Emperor there were Quasi-Saints, but even if it was more powerful, it would just be a Saint at most.

In the ancient legends of Hua Xia, there were Saints.

Saints were only from the Immortal Realm's plane, where could there be a higher level plane?

"Junior Brother Ding, I just remembered, you shouldn't keep that Dao Vein on you," Rong Xiyu said calmly after she gathered her thoughts.

The reason her father dared not take the Dao Vein with him was that even if it was placed inside a ring, the Taoist Aura of Heaven and Earth could not be blocked.

Ding Huan smiled, "No worries, I've already sealed it. This Dao Vein can't be taken out either, so I'm not going to give it to you."

Absolutely no part of the Dao Vein could be given to Rong Xiyu, not even a little bit.

This kind of Great Dao rule from beyond the plane would be discovered by others as soon as it left the Iron Pot Space.

His Iron Pot Space, however, posed no problem, at least in Ding Huan's view it seemed rather safe.

Hearing Ding Huan say this, Rong Xiyu also felt relieved.

"I need to change my appearance, has anyone recognized you in your current form?" Ding Huan worried that Rong Xiyu's appearance had not changed after reshaping her physical body, and quickly asked.

Rong Xiyu shook her head, "I deeply despised my former self, so I changed my appearance when I reshaped my body.

However, after years of cultivation, I feel my appearance is slowly reverting to what it was before, though it's not yet obvious."

She felt helpless; cultivation of the Great Dao shaped one's physical appearance, something she couldn't change herself.

If appearance could also be changed, then in the vast realms of the Great Dao, there would be no ugly people.

"Then there's no problem."

With just a slight resemblance, who would think of the previous Rong Xiyu?

According to Rong Xiyu, she would only revert to her original appearance after reaching the status of an Immortal Emperor.

Ding Huan returned to the inner cabin and quickly transformed into a pale, debauched-looking Loose Cultivator.

When Rong Xiyu saw the transformed Ding Huan walking out, her eyes flashed with shock. If Ding Huan hadn't mentioned changing his appearance beforehand, she definitely would have thought he was a stranger.

After his transformation, not only had Ding Huan's appearance completely changed, but even the Daoist Rhythm around him had completely altered.

With Ding Huan's kind of Daoist Rhythm, combined with this appearance, it was impossible for anyone to think he had changed his appearance.

"Junior Brother Ding?" Rong Xiyu asked incredulously to confirm.

"It's me, from now on call me Junior Brother Lao Liu. I've changed my name to Lao Liu, and you should pick a new name too. Rong Xiyu can't be used anymore."

"Hmm, I'll call myself Yi Jinxi then," Rong Xiyu said. Her father's master's surname was Yi, and the old Sect Master was like her grandfather, so now she would follow her grandfather's surname.

The iron pot was extremely fast, and after a brief chat, they arrived at White Bamboo Immortal City.

Ding Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, as no one had followed them during this period.

Knowing he had delayed a bit much, he quickly went with Rong Xiyu to catch a Teleportation Array to Half Still Immortal City.

Upon arriving in Half Still Immortal City, Ding Huan could see that this was indeed the workshop area he and Wen Zhixi had seen when they landed on the Banting Sea.

Now, the workshop was gone, replaced by a huge Immortal City.

Due to the recent establishment of the Immortal City, the external facilities were very complete.

The Teleportation Array cluster was set up on the plaza outside the Immortal City.

This giant Immortal City Square was surrounded by various rental spaces and Trading Buildings. Standing in the square, one's Divine Will could clearly see the Banting Sea.

A gigantic wharf square had been built along the shore of the Banting Sea.

The purpose of this wharf square was for the convenience of the cultivators entering and leaving the Banting Sea, which showed just how sought-after Grey Sea Crystals really were.

Whether it was the seaside wharf of the Banting Sea or the plaza outside Half Still Immortal City, both places were packed with people.

This also highlighted how important the Immortal Sect ranking competition was this time, as practically every Immortal Sect had come.

Ding Huan and Rong Xiyu walked into Half Still Immortal City only to discover that there were even more people inside the city than outside.

Ding Huan didn't need to ask, as he could clearly see rows of towering Rest Buildings and Rest Inn-style structures.

Outside these buildings, four giant characters floated in the Void: "Immortal Sect Residency."

There was also an Array Gate outside the Immortal Sect Residency, guarded by sentries.

Upon reaching the place, Ding Huan was immediately stopped by two guards.

"I am a disciple of Da Fan Immortal Sect." Ding Huan pulled out his Outer Disciple Identity Plate.
