After the myth

Chapter 1006 Father and daughter meet
"It's me, Dad..."

After saying only three words, Nianhuan could no longer speak.

She never hated this father she had never met before.

Her understanding of her father came entirely from her mother, Qu Yi.

Her mother had told her that if their family wanted to survive in the universe, her father had to leave the Blue Star Divine Continent and reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

Otherwise, their family wouldn't have survived long on the Blue Star Continent.

At first, she couldn't understand it.

Because on the Blue Star Divine Continent, the Blue Star Academy is the supreme existence.

Any cultivator living on the Blue Star Divine Continent can only feel awe and reverence for the Blue Star Academy.

Even without revealing that her father was Ding Huan and her mother was Qu Yi, she would still be a respected figure on the Blue Star Divine Continent simply by stating that she came from the Blue Star Academy.

With such a status, how could she believe that her father left to reach even greater heights and live longer?

However, she wasn't the type to have a strong personality, so she didn't argue with her mother.

Until one day, her mother and Aunt Manwei took her away from the Blue Star Divine Continent...

It was then that she realized that even Aunt Manwei, whose cultivation had reached its peak in her heart, was powerless to protect herself in the face of a true expert.

And she was as fragile as an eggshell.

If it weren't for Aunt Manwei's protection, she wouldn't be alive today.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job..."

Ding Huan's voice choked with emotion; he felt unworthy of being a father.

Nianhuan shook her head: "No, Dad, you did the right thing."

After all these years of wandering the universe, she had long since seen it clearly.

Without strength, you are nothing.

The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, perfectly describes the vast universe.

The Blue Star Divine Continent appears perfectly peaceful on the surface, but what would happen if a powerful figure were to arrive?
Putting aside others, even if Aunt Wei harbored evil intentions towards the Blue Star Divine Continent, would the Blue Star Divine Continent have the ability to resist?
Qi Manwei also looked at Ding Huan in surprise.

In her mind, no matter how strong Ding Huan was, after all these years away from the Blue Star Divine Continent, he couldn't possibly be strong enough to find this place.

But Ding Huan stood before her, and although he didn't have that oppressive aura, he gave her an extremely reassuring feeling...

No, she saw Di He behind Ding Huan.

Qi Manwei has traveled all over the years with Nian Huan, so she's no stranger to the world.

She had witnessed the seventh step of the Daoist teachings, the Lord of the Universe.

At this moment, he was certain that the person behind Ding Huan was a master of the universe.

Qi Manwei felt a tingling sensation on her scalp.

In her mind, the Lord of the Universe was a supreme being; how could he possibly follow behind Ding Huan?

The fact that the Lord of the Universe is following behind Ding Huan means that Ding Huan is also a Lord of the Universe.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, thank you for protecting and saving my daughter's life. I, Ding Huan, will be eternally grateful." Ding Huan bowed deeply, his tone extremely sincere.

Qi Manwei realized what was happening and quickly returned the courtesy: "Brother Ding, Nianhuan is like my niece, you're too kind."

Di He laughed and walked over, saying casually, "Nian Huan, has anyone been bullying you here?"

Nianhuan subconsciously glanced at the square-faced man occupying a huge space next to her.

Previously, she and Aunt Manwei had a larger territory, but after this square-faced man arrived, he directly seized her territory, forcing her to squeeze in with Aunt Manwei.

However, she quickly looked away and shook her head.

Her mother had told her that no matter how strong Blue Star Academy was, no matter how high her parents' status was.

When you are out in the world, you must be careful and not be arrogant. You must not be quick to think of revenge, and you must not make enemies.

But Dihe noticed it with just one look from her.

He followed us but didn't fight; he was just itching to use his strength.

Without hesitation, he rushed into the space where the square-faced man was and threw a punch.

This square-faced man was only at the seventh step of the Great Dao, not even at the seventh step of the Dao Words.

There was no way to avoid Dihe's punch.

"Senior, this junior will return the place to her..." The square-faced man only managed to say one sentence before being smashed to pieces by Di He's punch.

Dihe couldn't open up to this person's world, and just spat, "Who cares about your place?"

"Let's go." Ding Huan sensed that Nian Huan's cultivation had only just entered the Quasi-Saint realm, and he couldn't wait to take her out immediately and pass on his Great Dao to her.

"Seniors, this junior wishes to leave this place with you..."

A fair-skinned young man stepped out of his room and bowed to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's gaze fell on the young man, and he calmly asked, "How long have you been here?"

"Three thousand four hundred and twenty-one years." The young man spoke with great respect, bowing as he spoke.

"Oh, since you've been here for over three thousand years, why didn't you intervene when my daughter was bullied here back then?" Ding Huan's voice was unreadable.

He could tell from the Daoist aura emanating from the young man that he had been here for at least 100,000 years.

This guy can lie without even a ripple of his breath, which shows that lying is normal for him.

The young man said with shame, "I really wanted to help at the time, but my cultivation was only at the fifth step of the Great Dao, while that person was already at the seventh step of the Great Dao. I was willing but unable to help. If I had helped then, it would have angered the other party, and not only would I have been killed, but I would probably have implicated them as well."

The words are reasonable and logical.

Ding Huan chuckled, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Do you think that because I was able to get here, I couldn't see through the fact that you've been hiding your true strength?"

This young man is indeed at the fifth step of the Great Dao, but this fellow is at the fifth step of the Dao Words, a sage without flaws.

In terms of strength, he is only stronger than the square-faced seventh-step cultivator that Di He just killed.

This is nothing.

Ding Huan despised those who retreated when they needed to exert themselves but rushed out when they wanted the benefits.

The young man was taken aback. Could someone really discern his cultivation level?
He is indeed at the fifth step, but he is the Daoist Saint of the fifth step, the one without flaws.

Killing that square-faced guy wouldn't require much effort.

But there were no benefits to be had at the time, so why would Luo Ding make a move?
"Come on up, let's go." Ding Huan waved to Nian Huan and brought out the Cosmic Pot.

Nianhuan quickly pulled Qi Manwei onto the cosmic cauldron.

After Dihe arrived, Ding Huan activated the Cosmic Pot, which instantly rushed out of this space and disappeared without a trace.

Nianhuan then realized that her father and mother had completely different ways of doing things.

If it were her mother, she would have taken the young man with her.

After all, it didn't take much effort, and since no one else intervened, the young man had a legitimate reason to act.

But Dad completely ignored the other party's request and even made a few sarcastic remarks.

She actually felt that her father was right.

Doesn't the Great Way emphasize cause and effect?

Since that's the case, that guy should now reap the consequences of his own actions.

As the shadow of the cosmic cauldron disappeared, a ferocious glint appeared in the eyes of the fair-skinned young man: "Very well, you cherish your daughter so much? Once your lord gets out, if you don't rape and kill her first, then rape and kill her again, then your lord is your adopted son..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if the space around him had changed, and the rules of heaven and earth locked his aura.

The young man was not ignorant; he immediately realized that a barrier had been set up where he was standing.

His face turned pale: "Senior, I'm talking nonsense..."

Ding Huan stopped the cosmic cauldron and simultaneously unleashed the Great Dao Handprint.

The next moment, the fair-skinned young man was grabbed by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan completely ignored the fair-skinned youth, raised his hand and grabbed open the youth's world. One by one, the fragmented souls were annihilated by Ding Huan, and then a bloodline soul-tracing principle was set up by Ding Huan.

Even as a ball of flame engulfed the young man, his desperate voice still roared, "I am Luo Ding, son of Luo Yun, the carefree master of the Mist Realm! You will surely suffer a terrible death after you kill me..."

The sound vanished completely in the flames.

Ding Huan chuckled inwardly. The Carefree Master?
Isn't Wen Shi the most powerful person in the Mist Realm? He's not afraid of Wen Shi, so why would he care about a mere Free and Unfettered Lord?
Luo Ding might still be waiting for his father to save him, unaware that his father is probably still waiting for someone else to save him in the endless void.

Qi Manwei gasped in shock.

She wasn't very clear about Ding Huan's abilities.

However, Ding Huan's ability to enter this Void Canyon suggests that he is quite strong.

She hadn't expected Ding Huan to be so powerful.

With a single handprint, a powerful figure was captured. Judging from Ding Huan's previous tone, Luo Ding's strength was no weaker than that square-faced seventh-step cultivator.

By that calculation, Ding Huan's strength is simply...

This wasn't what shocked her the most. What shocked her the most was that Ding Huan simply raised his hand and tore apart the world of Luo Ding. That was truly remarkable.

She's currently at the seventh step of the Great Dao, so even if she could easily tear apart a quasi-saint's world, she couldn't do it.

"Brother Ding Huan, your strength is even greater than before!" Di He was deeply shocked.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "I set up a barrier around this guy beforehand, which is why I was able to capture him so easily."

His main purpose in setting up the barrier was singular: if this guy dared to harbor murderous intent, he would simply eliminate any future trouble.

He didn't care about anything that was directed at him.

However, when it comes to Nianhuan's safety, he would absolutely not allow such an unstable factor to exist outside.

After all, he couldn't be by Nianhuan's side all the time.

"Dad, are you already the Lord of the Universe?" Nianhuan's eyes widened.

The second time Nianhuan called him "Dad," he was completely comfortable with it and showed no sign of awkwardness.

In her heart, the Lord of the Universe is the strongest.

Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "The Lord of the Universe is not the strongest. The strongest thing for a cultivator is not their realm, but their own Great Dao."

"Nianhuan, your aptitude shouldn't be bad, right? Why are you only at the Quasi-Saint realm now? And you haven't even cultivated the Primordial Great Dao Technique yet?"

Nianhuan said matter-of-factly, "My mother said your cultivation technique is more powerful than the Primordial Great Dao Technique, so naturally I cultivate the Great Universe Technique."

Ding Huan nodded.

The Great Universe Technique he left behind on the Blue Star Divine Continent was incomplete, and he could only cultivate it to the Quasi-Saint level; there were still many problems.

"Nianhuan, starting today, you will resume your training in the Great Universe Technique with me." Ding Huan decided to spend some time improving Nianhuan's strength before making any further decisions.

Nianhuan immediately said, "Dad, you should help Aunt Wei too. Her cultivation has been stagnant, it must be a problem with her technique."
