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

"Lao Liu?" As soon as Ding Huan ascended the stage, his opponent exclaimed in surprise, with a hint of a bitter expression in his eyes.

Ding Huan's reputation was too great, he couldn't be unaware of it even if he wanted to.

He had long heard that the Lao Liu before him was a tough character, and this round's competition was about setting up Killing Arrays; one must be careful not to be taken out by Lao Liu.

Ding Huan touched his nose, was he really that famous?

What he wanted now was not fame, what he needed was to keep a low profile.

He smiled, then quickly grabbed Array Flags and threw them out.

When his opponent saw Ding Huan starting to set up the Killing Array, where would he dare to be negligent? He hurriedly kept summoning Array Flags.

The topic of this round of Battle Array competition was for both to set up a Second Level Immortal Killing Array, not to use Killing Arrays to attack each other.

Instead, once both Immortal Killing Arrays were arranged, the two Arrays would battle each other. Whosever Immortal Killing Array proved more formidable would be the victor.

The fact was that currently, the most exciting event was not the Battle Array, but Alchemy.

Alchemy had reached its most exciting rounds, yet regretfully, the crowd most gathered to watch the Battle Array.

No other reason but because the Da Fan Immortal Sect had a guy named Lao Liu participating in the Battle Array.

Before, no one knew who Lao Liu was; now, Lao Liu was a name known throughout the Half Still Immortal City.

Mentioning Lao Liu, probably no Immortal Sect was unaware.

This guy had severely wounded four core disciples of two Eight-star Immortal Sects, which included the Jiukun Twins.

Not only that, but this guy also killed Han Qiongsang from the Eight-star Immortal Sect, Smoke Moon Immortal Sect.

In terms of strength, Lao Liu was publicly recognized as the number one Profound Immortal.

Rumors said that the former number one Profound Immortal, Zuo Liang, couldn't survive three moves before Lao Liu.

Of course, there were also rumors that Zuo Liang didn't even survive one move against Lao Liu, and even further gossip suggested that as soon as Zuo Liang stepped onto the stage, just one glare from Lao Liu made Zuo Liang kneel out of fear.

That's why watching Lao Liu's matches was the most exciting part of this Immortal Sect ranking competition.

Everyone wanted to know if Lao Liu could display the same dominance in the Battle Array competition as he did in the Fighting competition, and potentially end the Battle Array contest early.

Seeing Ding Huan first summoning Array Flags and taking the lead in setting up the Killing Array, some people had already started to pass judgment.

"It looks like Lao Liu is strong in Daoist Skills, but his Array Dao is just so-so."

"He hasn't even fought yet; what do you know?"

"Can't you tell by his actions? Would such a proud and powerful person like Lao Liu compete with a minor cultivator to place Array Flags first?"

"That makes some sense. If I were stronger than my opponent, I wouldn't hurry to throw out Array Flags first."

...

And the guy facing Ding Huan was also an Array Master from a Six-star Immortal Sect and even somewhat famous.

Yet in these people's mouths, he had become a 'minor cultivator'.

Ding Huan's opponent was indeed intimidated by Lao Liu at first, but after seeing his own Immortal Killing Array almost set up while Lao Liu's Killing Array wasn't quite complete, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like Lao Liu could only be said to have strong Fighting capabilities, but his Array Dao was no better than his own.

After all, how could a cultivator with powerful Daoist Skills have enough time to study Array Dao?

Array Dao was, after all, the most time-consuming among all Daos.

"Done!" Ding Huan's opponent threw out the last Array Flag and the Killing Array was formed.

Although Ding Huan appeared relatively composed, the cultivators observing from the sidelines could feel a bit of panic in his heart.

Fortunately, he finally managed to complete his Killing Array, closely following his opponent.

"That scared me. I thought Lao Liu failed to set up the Killing Array and got defeated by the opponent."

"How could that be possible? No matter what, Lao Liu couldn't be that weak."

Among the whispers of the crowd, the two Killing Arrays began to battle.

Once Array formation was done, it was not allowed to replenish Array Flags during the Battle Array, mainly to save time.

The two Second Level Killing Arrays fought fiercely with deadly brilliance, and only after the duration of an incense stick did the crowd see one of the Killing Arrays collapse.

"Who won?"

During the Killing Array fight, some who were not experts in Array Dao couldn't tell immediately which Killing Array had prevailed.

No need for others to respond; a voice came from the stage: "Contestant number 122 wins."

Ding Huan's opponent slapped his head, looking quite annoyed.

Obviously, in his mind, if he had only been a bit more meticulous and fortified the Array Core of his Killing Array, he could have won this match.

Lao Liu had won, but it wasn't an easy victory.

Ding Huan sighed; Fighting was more straightforward. This Battle Array early game wasted too much time.

...

Ding Huan still didn't return to his residence. With so many eyes on him now, who knew what might happen if he returned to his quarters?

At least in this place, no one dared to approach him.

Ding Huan was now in one corner of the Battle Array arena, where he had set up a tent, secured on the outside by prohibition spells.

Although many people were watching Ding Huan, no one dared to attack his prohibitions with their Divine Will.

The day after Ding Huan set up his tent, another tent appeared next to his.

The people who were watching Ding Huan soon recognized that the tent beside Ding Huan's was set up by Mu Qingqing.

Ding Huan was the first-place winner in the Fighting competition, and his presence even caused the Fighting platform to be paralyzed, leading to no one daring to step onto the Fighting stage.

Such prestige caused Ding Huan's reputation in Half Still Immortal City to soar.

And Mu Qingqing, one of the twin stars of Jiukun Immortal Sect, had been renowned too before she lost to Ding Huan.

Both Ding Huan and Mu Qingqing set up tents on the edge of the Battle Array arena, which led many who admired them to start setting up tents there as well.

This led to a row of tents appearing at the edge of the Battle Array arena, and more and more tents were added.

Naturally, Ding Huan would not care; he only stayed in the arena because he did not want to be blocked in a room at the Immortal Sect's residence by a powerful being.

For him, the more people setting up tents here, the better; this way, he would not attract attention.

Mu Qingqing set up her tent next to Ding Huan's because she really dared not let Ding Huan out of her sight.

As soon as her master arrived, she would go and redeem her own Magical Treasure from Ding Huan.

Inside the tent, Ding Huan took out a pile of materials, estimating that in another half month, he would be able to refine Level 5 Immortal Talismans.

Whether it was Array Talismans, they were a combination and understanding of Daoist Rhythm Law Patterns.

His Cultivation Technique meant he was naturally suited to study things related to the All Things Principle; Array, talisman, Medicine Pills, Artifact Refining, they were all related to the All Things Principle.

It just so happened that Ding Huan did not need Medicine Pills for his cultivation, which was why he did not practice Alchemy.

As for Artifact Refining, that was because Ding Huan really could not compete; otherwise, he might have also tried his hand at it.

At least now, he could refine Second Level Immortal Artifacts, and with a bit of effort, there was still room for improvement.

Another two days passed, and Ding Huan's understanding of the Daoist Rhythm Law required for refining Immortal Talismans deepened further. Now, the Immortal Talismans he refined casually were all top-quality Level 4.

However, the materials he had were running low.

Mainly because the materials needed for Level 5 Immortal Talismans were more high-level, he had to save some materials for the Combat Talisman competition.

Just as Ding Huan was considering whether he should go purchase some High-Level Immortal Materials, his prohibition spell was knocked upon.

Ding Huan lifted the prohibition, and two women stood at the door.

One of them was Mu Qingqing who Ding Huan, of course, recognized; the other woman looked as though she was Mu Qingqing's sister, elegant with a hint of coldness.

"Are you Lao Liu from Da Fan Immortal Sect?" the frosty woman stared at Ding Huan and asked.

Ding Huan indifferently replied, "Indeed, I am Lao Liu. What important matter brings you two here?"

If they were not here to deliver the Immortal Spirit Vein, he would not allow them to waste his time.

"My name is Jie Qiwei, from Jiukun Immortal Sect, Qingqing's master. I'm here to do business with you," the woman standing next to Mu Qingqing stated calmly.

However, Ding Huan heard a strong sense of intent to kill from Jie Qiwei's last sentence.

After feeling this woman's intent to kill, Ding Huan lost the interest to invite her into his tent and simply said, "Speak, what business?"

"Do you conduct business standing at the door?" Jie Qiwei asked coldly again.

"If you want to do business, let's do it; otherwise, I'm sealing up the prohibition again. I don't have time to chat with you," Ding Huan said, then raised his hand to grab an Array Flag to seal the prohibition.

He had so many things to do; where did he have the time to ramble with these two women?

"Take out Qingqing's Magical Treasure," Jie Qiwei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in her heart.

She had never seen anyone humiliate her disciple to such an extent as Jie Qiwei had.

If it were anywhere else, she would have killed Ding Huan long ago.

But in this place, she really did not dare to; killing Ding Huan here would mean not only her own death but the destruction of Jiukun Immortal Sect as well.

Ding Huan looked at the proud woman before him and chuckled:

"I never take other people's things. If you're just here to look for your disciple's treasure, please do."

Though that's what he said, Ding Huan had already sensed that this woman's aura of Dao Rhythm was completely different from Mu Qingqing's.

If this woman was indeed Mu Qingqing's master, it meant the Cultivation Technique she practiced was different from that of Mu Qingqing's.

Another possibility was that this woman was not Mu Qingqing's master. That was none of his concern, as long as there was an Immortal Spirit Vein.

Master..." Mu Qingqing called out.

She knew how arrogant Ding Huan was because Han Qiongsang from Smoke Moon Immortal Sect had broken the arm of Ding Huan's junior brother Yan Sha. As a result, Ding Huan broke the arms of both Liang Chuanjin and Chu Fengling from Smoke Moon Immortal Sect.

And as for the main perpetrator, Han Qiongsang, she saw with her own eyes how Ding Huan obliterated his Divine Soul.

Such a character, if the negotiations with her master broke down, she feared she would never get her Magical Treasure back.

The treasure might not mean much to others, but for her, it meant everything.

"Here is an Immortal Spirit Vein, take out Qingqing's Magical Treasure," Jie Qiwei said, tossing a ring to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan did not even bother to catch the ring; it fell to the ground.

His Divine Will had already broken through the prohibition on the ring. A mere High-Grade Immortal Spirit Vein, and they wanted to exchange it for Mu Qingqing's Magical Treasure, must be dreaming, right?

Mu Qingqing's Magical Treasure was definitely extraordinary, something he himself could not use. If he could, no amount of Immortal Spirit Vein would make him willing to sell the Magical Treasure.

"What do you mean by this?" Seeing Ding Huan not even bothering to catch the ring, Jie Qiwei's face immediately turned cold.
