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

He finally understood why his star sky divine spirit vein had collapsed so quickly; apparently, this guy was absorbing it.

He glanced again at Ding Huan.

Being able to absorb star sky divine spirit qi from this void divine gorge and fall from the void divine gorge unharmed, and being able to quickly break free from his restriction bindings, this guy isn't ordinary indeed.

"What's wrong? Is this your home? Mr. Huan can't come?" Ding Huan thought that the angrier this guy got, the better.

Seemingly understanding Ding Huan's thoughts, the long-faced cultivator suddenly calmed down:

"Letting him take you to find star sky divine spirit vein is useless because all star sky divine spirit veins are under my control; they are my things."

"Your things? Then call out, see if your spirit vein will respond. If it doesn't, then it means the thing belongs to the universe, and anyone can use it." Ding Huan said.

Ji Luo, on the side, was frightened, feeling a shadow cast by this guy in front of him; he didn't dare to utter a curse.

Brother Ding ate the wrong medicine today, saying whatever makes the other side angry.

"Oh, are you being unreasonable, trying to claim my things as universe's possessions? Then isn't the spirit vein on you also the universe's possession?"

Seemingly understanding Ding Huan's thoughts, the long-faced cultivator became calmer.

Ding Huan mocked, "Yes, you are reasonable. Reasonably capturing strangers into your stone house, depriving others of their divine skills, and killing them if they don't give them to you.

Honestly, Mr. Huan has never seen such a reasonable big shot before; it's quite impressive."

"Brother, let's retreat a little; I always feel unsafe being so close to this guy." Ji Luo saw Ding Huan getting more worked up and hurriedly pulled Ding Huan.

Ding Huan nodded: "Alright, let's retreat a bit."

Though Ding Huan was enthusiastic about speaking, he was also wary of this guy.

If he falls into this guy's hands again, it wouldn't be good.

The first time, it was this guy who didn't take him seriously, allowing him to escape; if it happens again, he probably won't be so lucky.

Fortunately, the gorge was long enough; Ding Huan and Ji Luo retreated several miles and stopped.

Ji Luo's divine will still couldn't permeate out, and Ding Huan's divine will could only penetrate a few feet around.

Within the range of divine will, there were only meteoric stone fragments and the like.

If it weren't for the dense star sky divine spirit qi here, it would be a lifeless place.

"Brother, can we get out of here?" Ji Luo, feeling safe, finally asked the question he most wanted to ask.

"No rush to leave; I came here to find star sky divine spirit vein. Now, not finding the spirit vein, how can I leave?"

When Ding Huan entered, he had already sensed the heaven and earth laws here; the rules in this void gorge were somewhat similar to the descent law.

He possessed the Great Universe Technique, so understanding the heaven and earth rules here and integrating these laws into his Tao Universe wasn't difficult.

So no matter what, he could get out,

"It's useless; there is indeed a void divine spirit vein here, but all void divine spirit veins are controlled by that guy.

It's harder to take the spirit vein from that guy than to take his life; we better leave here first."

Ji Luo didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Relax, let me set up a big array and cultivate for a while first."

Ding Huan began setting up a Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

If the seven-level Gathering Spirit Divine Array doesn't work, he would continue studying an eight-level Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

He simply didn't believe he couldn't absorb the old guy's divine spirit qi.

Once he advanced to the divine king level, he would confront the old guy face to face.

Once the seven-level Gathering Spirit Divine Array was set up, before Ding Huan even started cultivating, the dense star sky divine spirit qi was already swept over.

"Haha, not bad, right." Ding Huan laughed heartily, feeling very pleased.

Previously, he was too far away, so once the old guy engraved a binding spirit array, Ding Huan couldn't absorb the divine spirit qi here.

Now it's different; he was cultivating right in front of the old guy.

In such close proximity, with his Tao Technique and the Gathering Spirit Divine Array, no binding method could work.

"Brother, you've surpassed me by far now." Ji Luo saw Ding Huan easily set up a seven-level Gathering Spirit Divine Array and sighed.

He could say he watched Ding Huan grow up, and in such a short time, Ding Huan had already set up a seven-level Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

While he himself had been trapped for hundreds of years and couldn't get out, Ding Huan just took a few incense time and left the stone house with him.

Indeed, befriending Ding Huan back then was undoubtedly very beneficial.

In the distance, the man sitting cross-legged on the red giant stone slightly frowned upon seeing Ding Huan set up the Gathering Spirit Divine Array.

But he soon started engraving array patterns, specifically, the Constraining Spirit Divine Array Patterns.

Ding Huan similarly saw the divine array patterns the other was engraving and secretly thought that the old guy's void array patterns were very strong.

If he hadn't established his own system of array dao, the traces of his array pattern engravings would be far heavier than those the other was engraving.

"Old Ji, hurry up and cultivate; otherwise, with your low cultivation, don't expect me to take you." Ding Huan set up the Gathering Spirit Divine Array, then directly operated the Great Universe Technique to cultivate.

This time he didn't even bring out his top-grade divine spirit vein.

No need for Ding Huan to say, Ji Luo also chose a position.

He glanced at the long-faced cultivator, too close in proximity, and simply moved behind Ding Huan, choosing another spot again, then settled down to cultivate.

The Great Universe Technique Circulation began operating, and the starry sky divine spirit qi surged around, enveloping the space Ding Huan occupied in a short time.

Initially, only a little divine spirit qi from the long-faced cultivator's spot was drawn away by Ding Huan.

But as Ding Huan prolonged his cultivation, the Great Universe Technique had thoroughly incorporated the surrounding space into its cultivation circulation, and he could no longer restrain the starry sky divine spirit qi around him.

The divine spirit qi stream rushing towards Ding Huan intensified from light to dense, ultimately becoming so concentrated that it nearly formed a river of divine spirit qi, surging towards Ding Huan.

The long-faced cultivator sighed and stopped wasting efforts.

He had never encountered someone as shameless as Ding Huan, stealing his divine spirit qi for cultivation right across from him.

Yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

The starry sky divine spirit veins here indeed numbered more than one, but he could only absorb divine spirit qi for cultivation; similarly, he couldn't just collect these divine spirit veins.

Ding Huan forcibly used his divine spirit veins for cultivation, and he could only endure it.

The anger quickly gave way to amazement.

He stared at the space where Ding Huan cultivated, stunned by the terrifying level of divine spirit qi absorption he had never witnessed before.

Back on the Heavenly Street, there was a fellow who bore some similar traits to that young man, how about this Ding Huan?

Ding Huan finally felt the exhilaration of absorbing the starry sky divine spirit qi, his divine essence rapidly surged, and the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe expanded swiftly as well.

Ding Huan was lost in the joyful enhancement of his cultivation, while Ji Luo became excited.

Indeed, to elevate cultivation faster, it's best to cultivate alongside Brother Ding.

Even if he were restoring his cultivation strength, it was far more effective than working solo.

He wished he had waited for Brother Ding to ascend to the Divine World together all those years ago; he might have merged with the gods by now.

Where would he have languished for hundreds of years, only to be saved by Brother Ding?

Two months later, Ding Huan reached World God Level Eight; six months later, World God Level Nine,

Ding Huan was well aware that this wasn't merely a compression of cultivation time.

Perhaps even without the starry sky divine spirit veins, with ordinary divine spirit veins, his cultivation speed wouldn't be much slower.

However, using starry sky divine spirit veins for cultivation brought an enhanced clarity in perceiving the Dao principles far beyond that of ordinary divine spirit veins.

Moreover, each subtle change in the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe was distinctly captured amidst his cultivation process.

Upon advancing to World God Level Nine, Ding Huan's rate of cultivation advancement slowed down.

Nonetheless, Ding Huan did not mind in the slightest, feeling that each cosmic circulation was a tempering of the Great Dao's rhythm.

Two years later, Ding Huan reached World God Level Ten.

Five years later, Ding Huan stepped into World God Level Eleven.

Ji Luo at last faced his World God Thunder Tribulation.

Even if Ji Luo was rebuilding his cultivation, reaching World God would still attract the thunder tribulation.

Ding Huan ceased cultivation, contemplating that reaching the Divine King Realm might take nearly a decade.

"Fellow Daoist, would you care to come over for a discussion?" As Ding Huan watched Ji Luo braving the tribulation, that long-faced cultivator on the distant red boulder unexpectedly invited him over for a chat.

Ding Huan glanced at the long face; even if the other party did not invite him, he intended to change locations.

Not to another location entirely, but he planned to set up a Gathering Spirit Divine Array closer to the long-faced cultivator and continue striving for the Divine King level.

Preferably within a hundred yards.

Now with the invitation, Ding Huan straightforwardly proceeded over.

Entering World God Level Eleven, even though just stepping in, his strength showed a noticeable improvement over when he first arrived.

When he was at World God Level Seven, he didn't fear the other party; now at World God Level Eleven, there's nothing to fear.

"I am Hou Hen; may I ask how to address the fellow Daoist?" The man greeted Ding Huan with a hand gesture.

Evidently, Ding Huan's strength garnered his respect.

Ding Huan is not only mighty but also grows stronger with each passing day; even sitting here, he could clearly sense Ding Huan slowly becoming more powerful.

In this universe, what's to argue or not argue?

Strength grants justification.

Now, in this Void Divine Gorge, Ding Huan stands powerful and keeps growing mightier, thus asserting his reasoning.

"My name is Ding Huan," Ding Huan replied calmly.

Once he advanced to the Divine King, even if the other party refused to give him the divine spirit veins, he'd come to seize them himself.

Ding Huan knew the other understood his intentions, which is likely why he approached him before reaching the Divine King Realm.

"You haven't heard of me?" The man saw Ding Huan's expressionless demeanor, surprised, he asked.

"Why should I have heard of you? You're very impressive?"

"You haven't heard of Thick Trace God Emperor?"

Ding Huan frowned; he knew God King's succession ascended to god merging, but since when did a God Emperor emerge? Wasn't it just Immortal Emperor?
