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

Two days later, Ding Huan took part in the fourth round of the Battle Array and managed to win through a series of struggles and bumps.

At this moment, Ding Huan could barely refine a level 5 Immortal Talisman.

After being able to refine level 5 Immortal Talismans, Ding Huan's focus was no longer on the crafting of talismans.

Now, there were three individuals he had to pay attention to; one was the Sect Master of Yihai Palace, Chi Feitao, and another had become the Sect Master of the Yaochi Jade Maiden Sect, Li Zhen.

The third was, of course, Qian Lou.

This guy had stayed in the Battle Array competition grounds since the start of the fourth round and refused to leave, which left Ding Huan rather helpless.

Ding Huan had always been advancing through the rounds with just an average level of Array Dao, and at least until now, he had not attracted any special attention from this Qian Lou.

Sweeping the distant Battle Talisman Area with his Divine Will, Ding Huan knew that his third round of talisman battle was about to begin.

Ding Huan left his tent, preparing to head to the Battle Talisman Area.

"Lao Liu, may I have a word with you?" An abrupt figure appeared, blocking Ding Huan's path.

Observing the man who had stopped him, Ding Huan's eyes flickered slightly.

This was definitely a powerhouse, stronger than sect masters like Chi Feitao and Ji Changsi, and not just by a little margin.

It was purely instinctual, though this man's cultivation didn't seem to be much higher than Chi Feitao's; the innate intensity that Ding Huan could feel was undeniable.

That intense aura of the Daoist Rhythm couldn't escape his Tao Technique.

Perfect Immortal King? Or perhaps a Half-step Immortal Emperor?

Ding Huan pondered the man's cultivation level without speaking.

One thing he was sure of was that the man's cultivation had not reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"Who are you?" Ding Huan's voice was somewhat cold; he instinctively took several steps backward, simultaneously sketching out several Void defensive Array Patterns.

At least he needed to ensure that if this man suddenly lashed out, he would have a chance to escape.

If he wasn't harmed the first time, then the man would have no second chance.

Although Ding Huan believed that the other party would not dare to make a move here, there is always the fear of the unexpected.

The man's voice was somewhat gentle, "My name is Ming Yu, you must have heard of me."

Ding Huan responded indifferently, "I've never heard of you."

The man was taken aback; he hadn't expected such an answer from Ding Huan. In the Great Immortal Domain, even a contestant participating in the Immortal Sect ranking competition would surely have heard of his name.

No one would believe otherwise.

Ming Yu suppressed his anger and tried to lower his voice, "I am the Sect Master of the Jiukun Immortal Sect."

"Oh, so what?" Ding Huan oh-ed, showing no surprise.

Ming Yu, however, calmed down, realizing he had encountered someone ignorant and audacious, no wonder they dared to severely injure Zuo Liang and Mu Qingqing.

If it were any other contestant, they would have been stunned upon hearing the name of the Sect Master of the Jiukun Immortal Sect.

In the Great Immortal Domain, the Jiukun Immortal Sect is regarded as the foremost Immortal Sect.

"Can you heal the injuries of Zuo Liang?" Ming Yu, realizing that he had come across someone overly presumptuous, decided to be direct.

After the Grand Competition, Ding Huan was doomed; there was no need to bicker with such a fool.

He sought out Ding Huan because Mu Qingqing's leg had been casually healed by him.

Initially, he had thought that Zuo Liang's severe injuries were something he could easily heal.

He later found that whether it was Zuo Liang's severed leg or arm, none could be treated with Immortal Pills.

Most importantly, any Immortal Pill that dissolved would be consumed and assimilated by the Dao Rhythm Law residue within Zuo Liang's wounds.

Even Ming Yu himself couldn't remove the Dao Rhythm Law from the injury, the only method would be amputation.

Hands and feet cut off might have a chance at recovery, but with Zuo Liang's Sea of Consciousness and Dantian cracked, surely neither his Dantian nor head should be removed?

Thus, he had to seek out Ding Huan.

Ming Yu was concerned that Ding Huan wouldn't survive until the end of the competition and would be killed by the people from the Lingyao Immortal Pavilion.

"Whether or not it can be healed isn't up for me to decide," Ding Huan said calmly.

"Then who gets to decide?" Ming Yu frowned.

Ding Huan twirled his ring, "You can ask Mu Qingqing's master, she'll tell you the answer."

"Do you want an Immortal Spirit Vein?" Ming Yu finally understood.

"That's right, how Zuo Liang recovers, and to what extent, are decisions you can make. Remember, five High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins and one hundred million High Grade Immortal Crystals—that's the minimum price. Farewell."

Having said this, Ding Huan quickly bypassed Ming Yu and entered the Talisman Fighting Arena.

Watching Ding Huan's retreating figure, Ming Yu sneered coldly, "A mere ant hired by a Five-star Immortal Sect daring to speak to me, Ming Yu, in such a manner."

"Give you Immortal Spirit Veins, can you even keep them warm? Not to mention five High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins."

The third round of the talisman battle was the same as before; Ding Huan defeated his opponent with a not-so-large margin, unhurriedly.

Upon returning to the Battle Array competition area, Ding Huan continued refining level 5 Immortal Talismans.

He could refine level 5 Immortal Talismans, but there was still the issue of proficiency.

In less than half a day, the prohibition outside Ding Huan's tent was knocked on.

Seeing Ming Yu standing outside with Zuo Liang in his grasp, Ding Huan knew the Immortal Spirit Veins had arrived.

The prohibition opened, and without waiting for Ding Huan to act, Ming Yu imposed a prohibition first.

"Do you believe I can kill you anytime now?" Ming Yu's voice was no longer the mild tone from before but was tinged with a hint of murderous intent.

The powerful Immortal King Domain oppressed the space, making it tremble.

Ding Huan said indifferently, "I don't."

He seemed completely unaffected by Ming Yu's oppressive aura of an Immortal King.

Ming Yu's murderous aura erupted all around him, and in an instant, Ding Huan's tent was permeated with the scent of death.

For those with slightly weaker cultivation and spiritual force, under such terrifying oppression, they might have already knelt to the ground.

Ding Huan too unfolded his own Starry Sky Domain, staring at Ming Yu without moving a muscle, ready to activate his Level 6 Trapping and Killing Immortal Array Pattern should the other party dare to make a move.

A Level 6 Trapping and Killing Immortal Array Pattern might not be able to stop Ming Yu, but it was more than enough to hold him off for 15 minutes.

And 15 minutes was enough time for Ming Yu to die ten times over.

Don't think just because Lord of the South ran off to slack that he's not here; this place is equipped with a Level 9 Killing Big Array.

Ding Huan didn't know who set up this Killing Big Array, but he guessed it was definitely intended for dealing with people like Ming Yu.

Once the Killing Big Array was activated, the Lord of the South would be transported here immediately.

If someone dared to disrupt the Immortal Sect ranking competition held by the Immortal Court, it would be a slap in the face of the Immortal Court; even the Jiukun Immortal Sect would pale in comparison.

Ming Yu had never anticipated that, despite his predicament, Ding Huan remained unyielding.

What surprised him even more was that Ding Huan could withstand his pressure.

Indeed, as the number one Profound Immortal, he had some real skills.

Ming Yu forcibly swallowed his anger and threw a ring at Ding Huan, "Here are five High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins and one billion High Grade Immortal Crystals."

Ding Huan did not catch the ring, and it fell to the ground.

"What do you mean?" Ming Yu's tone was even colder.

Ding Huan looked at Ming Yu, "Because you just threatened me, the compensation now needs to be doubled."

"You're seeking death." Ming Yu raised his hand, gathering a furious and lethal aura.

It seemed as if in the next moment, everything standing before him would turn to ash.

As long as Ding Huan couldn't withstand this fearful pressure and took action first, Ming Yu could kill his opponent. He believed a Profound Immortal cultivator couldn't resist such deadly oppression,

but then he noticed the mocking smile on Ding Huan's lips, unflinching, far from panicked or restless.

There's a problem here, Ming Yu once again suppressed his anger; he didn't dare to gamble.

First, he didn't dare to bet that killing Ding Huan wouldn't attract the attention of strong figures from the Immortal Court.

Secondly, Ding Huan's reputation was too great. If Ding Huan were to disappear, what would happen if someone investigated?

"Why don't you dare to make a move?" Ding Huan said mockingly,

"You, a Sect Master from an Eight-star Immortal Sect, can't even discern the presence of a Level 9 Trapping and Killing Immortal Array and a Level 9 Surveillance Immortal Array here. And you just flare up at anything, heh."

Ding Huan's words were not an empty threat. Now he already had various pieces of evidence, and if he reported to the Immortal Court, Ming Yu was on the fast track to a dead end.

If he showed his own Identity Plate of the First Law Officer of the Immortal Court, this guy would probably be kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Ming Yu felt as if he had been doused with ice water.

If what Ding Huan said was true, then he was truly done for.

When Half Still Immortal City was established, top Immortal Array masters from the Immortal Court had visited, and it might have been the Immortal Array Emperor himself.

If there really were a Level 9 Killing Big Array set up by the Immortal Court here, wouldn't he be as good as dead if he had attacked earlier?

Not only would he be finished, but the Jiukun Immortal Sect would be finished as well.

"I didn't intend to take action," said Ming Yu as he strived to calm his emotions.

Ding Huan threw a Crystal Ball, "Take a look for yourself. I'll hand this over to the Lord of the South shortly."

Ming Yu caught the Crystal Ball. The killing intent and Dao Rhythm Law contained within the Crystal Ball were expressed to perfection, almost tangible.

"My apologies, this was my mistake," Ming Yu did not crush the Crystal Ball, but instead handed it back to Ding Huan.

He was certain that a person like Ding Huan wouldn't settle for just one Crystal Ball; he must have more evidence.

"If apologies were useful, then probably no one would favor Immortal Spirit Veins, and everyone would prefer apologies,"

Ding Huan finished speaking and pointed a finger, "Sect Master Ming Yu, please go ahead. I am going to rest now."

Ming Yu didn't dare to leave. He reached for the ring on the ground,

"Fellow Daoist Lao Liu, I only have these five High Grade Immortal Spirit Veins on me. I also have a High Grade Immortal Fire Vein. I am willing to compensate you with this Immortal Fire Vein."

Ding Huan was inwardly delighted, though his face showed no sign of it.

He didn't know who this Zuo Liang was to Ming Yu, someone willing to pay such a huge price.

What Ding Huan didn't realize was that, in Ming Yu's eyes, he was already a dead man, anything given to Ding Huan now would be returned to him, untouched, later.

"Seeing that your attitude is acceptable, I agree. Bring the items here and leave Zuo Liang on the ground," Ding Huan was eager for that Immortal Fire Vein.

This time, Ming Yu didn't hesitate and sent the High Grade Immortal Fire Vein into the ring, handing it over to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan felt the Mark of Divine Will inside the ring but wasn't concerned.

Thinking a Mark of Divine Will could track him was a pipe dream.

After taking the items, Ding Huan walked over to Zuo Liang.

Zuo Liang was gravely injured, with both his Sea of Consciousness and Dantian ruptured. But for Ding Huan, these were not serious issues.

These were all simulated by his Tao Technique, and now he wanted to heal them, it was just a matter of lifting his hand.
