After the myth

Chapter 1008 Return to the Mist Realm
When Ding Huan left the Fog Realm, he was focused on finding his daughter Nian Huan and didn't notice anything different.

After he returned to the Mist Realm with Nian Huan, Qi Manwei, and Di He, he suddenly felt a sense of relief and immediately knew that the owner of that handprint was probably still watching him.

It's likely that the other party is just waiting for him to return to the world of gods.

He had been preoccupied with Nianhuan, so he hadn't noticed.

Now that I'm back in the Fog Realm, I can feel it immediately.

Ding Huan was certain that once he returned to the world of gods, he would never be able to get out again.

That old man still holds a grudge.

That's good; Ding Huan is a vengeful person too.

"The rules of heaven and earth here are a bit strange... Hmm, it seems that cultivation is impossible here, and it can even corrupt the Great Dao?"

Di He was a seventh-step saint who had realized the Dao, and he sensed something was wrong as soon as he arrived in the Mist Realm.

Qi Manwei also sensed something was wrong; it was indeed impossible to cultivate here.

Even if she possessed the Primordial Dao Technique, she wouldn't be able to sever her Dao and begin cultivation again in such a place.

"Yes, the rules of heaven and earth in the Mist Realm are not suitable for cultivation. There are independent rule spaces everywhere here. Therefore, to cultivate in the Mist Realm, one must go to specific places, such as a place like Ducheng where cultivation is possible..."

Ding Huan explained the uniqueness of the Fog Realm to the group in detail, while starting to set up the teleportation array.

A few days later, Ding Huan controlled the cosmic cauldron and led the three of them to the independent space where he was in seclusion.

When Ding Huan left, he left a mark on the place where he had secluded himself.

When he returned here again, the mark had not moved, indicating that Shi Changxing had not returned.

Ding Huan led the group directly into the space.

Upon seeing the giant rock suspended in the void, the clear spatial rules, and the scarcity of mottled laws, Di He couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly a good place for seclusion."

Ding Huan said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, choose a spot on the boulder to prepare for seclusion and severing your Dao. After I impart the Great Dao to Nian Huan, I will leave this place with Di He."

"Dad, are you leaving again?" Nianhuan asked with some anxiety.

Ding Huan nodded: "If I don't pursue a higher path, I'm afraid I'll be stuck here forever, and even then, I might not be safe."

Who can be sure that the being at the center of the chaos of the world of gods will only remain in the world of gods? If one day he comes to the Mist Realm, wouldn't I be forced to hide like a lost soul?
To control one's own destiny, one must increase one's strength, at least to be unafraid of that being.

Nianhuan didn't know that anyone could threaten her father, but the things she experienced after leaving the Blue Star Divine Continent told her that her father's choice was correct.

"Brother Ding, thank you so much for gifting me this cultivation technique. I will return it to you after I sever my Dao." Qi Manwei came over and thanked her again.

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is insufficient here, she believes that she can successfully sever her Dao.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "When you no longer need the cultivation technique, give the 'Three Thousand Great Daos' to Nian Huan. Oh, and I'll give you this magic treasure. I won't say goodbye when I leave."

Ding Huan took out a tattered wheel and handed it to Qi Manwei.

The worst thing about the process of severing one's path to enlightenment is being interrupted midway.

Once Qi Manwei begins to sever her Dao, it will probably take many years.

Qi Manwei took the magic weapon and scanned it with her divine sense. Her expression immediately changed: "Brother Ding, this magic weapon is too valuable. I can't accept it."

This is a supreme treasure that Ding Huan obtained from the world of Luo Town.

Ding Huan has recently acquired several Heaven-Opening Treasures, which are very precious to Qi Manwei, but not particularly valuable to him.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "This magic weapon isn't of much use to me; I have other ones on me."

"Then let's give it to Nianhuan." Although Qi Manwei didn't have any good magic weapons, this creation treasure was indeed too precious for her.

"Don't worry about Nianhuan. I have another magic treasure to give her later. You should go into seclusion first. Before you sever your Dao, sort out your own Great Dao. Don't rush to sever your Dao."

Seeing that Ding Huan really didn't want to take it back, Qi Manwei could only thank him and put away the Ruins-Breaking Wheel.

She truly didn't have a single good magic weapon.

With this Ruins Wheel, her strength will rise to another level.

While Qi Manwei went to a corner of the floating boulder to begin her seclusion, Ding Huan was setting up various Dao veins.

Top-grade and superior-grade Dao veins were implanted into him one by one.

He was extremely generous to his daughter.

Since these Dao veins were all obtained from Wen Chendao, and he is about to go to the endless void, he doesn't need to go into seclusion for the time being.

As for himself, he only needs to leave behind a pair of top-grade Dao veins and a dozen or so high-grade Dao veins.

When the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth swept over, Qi Manwei finally understood why Ding Huan had asked her and Nian Huan to go into seclusion here.

How many top-grade Dao veins must be implanted to produce such clear and rich天地元气 (heaven and earth energy)?

If she still can't successfully sever her Dao under these circumstances and has to start cultivating again with the help of the Primordial Dao Technique, then she'd be too useless.

Qi Manwei stopped thinking about anything else and focused on organizing her own Daoist thoughts.

She had been wandering for longer than Nianhuan, and she understood better that strong self-reliance was the foundation for self-preservation.

“Nianhuan, there are some problems with the Great Universe Technique you were practicing before. Although you can continue to cultivate it to its peak, your cultivation level is still too low. It would be better to cut it off as well…”

Ding Huan himself had just severed his Dao, so he naturally knew that his current Great Universe Technique was the beginning of the perfection of the Great Dao cultivation method.

"Dad, I'll listen to you..."

Ding Huan took out a Five Elements World and handed it to Nian Huan:

"After I finish preaching, you will begin your seclusion. Once you are in seclusion, do not concern yourself with anything else. This world contains the cultivation resources, techniques, and magical treasures you need, as well as my cultivation insights."

"The magic weapon is a vast stone sphere; all you need to do is refine it. There's also a jade talisman inside to open the barrier. I will protect this area with a barrier..." Ding Huan gave detailed and patient instructions.

What is truly valuable is his cultivation experience, which is his journey and details since he began cultivating the Great Universe Technique.

Nianhuan didn't find it long-winded at all and listened carefully to every word.

After imparting the Great Cosmic Art's core principles, Ding Huan began to chant the Path of Severing the Universe.

The Great Universe Technique was created by Ding Huan, and Nian Huan also cultivated the Great Universe Technique, so Ding Huan could teach it with twice the result for half the effort.

If it weren't for his initiative to help Nianhuan sever his Dao so that Nianhuan could have a clearer understanding of his own Dao, the process would have been even faster.

With nothing to do, Dihe could only wait on the sidelines.

A year later, Ding Huan and Di He left this space.

Nianhuan and Qi Manwei have both begun their seclusion.

Ding Huan then added several more layers to the outer barrier and then locked it with a concealed barrier.

He absolutely could not allow anyone to come here and disturb Nianhuan and Qi Manwei's seclusion.

In fact, Ding Huan felt that the Vast Stone Sphere was not very suitable for Nian Huan, as he possessed an Unsinkable Seal, which he had snatched from Wen Chendao.

The Unsinkable Seal is one level higher than the Vast Stone Sphere, making it a supreme treasure of the post-chaos era.

Unfortunately, those old bastards didn't let go of any magical treasures that could possibly be condensed in the chaos.

Even without a seal, there is still a bloodline and Dao principle within it.

"Brother Ding Huan, what do we do now?" Di He looked at Ding Huan expectantly.

"We will go to the endless void, where the principles of creation reside. If you obtain the principles of creation, you will have a great chance to reach the eighth or even the ninth step."

"When you reach the ninth step of the Daoist Sainthood, do you think you'll be able to take revenge?"

As Ding Huan spoke, he began setting up the teleportation array.

Di He was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I don't need the ninth step Daoist Saint. As long as I attain the eighth step Daoist Saint, I am confident that I can go back and take revenge. It's just that I can't enter the Nine Heavens yet."

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Nine Heavens is nothing, leave it to me when the time comes."

Ding Huan entered the endless void this time, determined to prove the seventh step of the Dao. Only by proving the seventh step might he have a chance to contend with the handprint deep within the chaos of the Gods' World.

……

Mu Yin looked at the teleportation array, which remained completely still, and sighed.

She has been waiting for almost two years.

Ding Huan's teleportation array setup and mind escape techniques were simply too amazing; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to wait until now.

She decided to wait another three months. If Ding Huan did not return in three months, she would enter the endless void herself.

With her teleportation talisman, Ding Huan set up a teleportation array here.

Logically speaking, if Ding Huan were even slightly faster, it wouldn't take more than two years for him to return from the Ancient God Island.

If we're being realistic, a year is enough.

Two years have passed and Ding Huan still hasn't returned; there are only two possibilities.

First, Ding Huan is not coming back; second, the teleportation array that Ding Huan set up is meaningless.

If the teleportation array is unusable, it might take Ding Huan a thousand years to fly to this location.

As Mu Yin was still wondering if Ding Huan could come back, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then two figures appeared at the edge of her consciousness.

The two figures arrived at a very fast speed, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of Mu Yin.

The two who arrived were a man and a woman. The man was tall and slender, with his long hair tied in a monk's bun, giving him an elegant and refined air.

The woman was slightly overweight, but her appearance was quite decent.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to enter the endless void?" Upon seeing Mu Yin, the man stopped and clasped his hands in greeting.

Mu Yin politely returned the greeting: "Yes."

Both of them were Daoist experts at the seventh step of the Great Dao.

In the world of gods, they are beings at the level of cosmic rulers.

However, in the Fog Realm, the seventh step is quite common.

In any Dao City where cultivation is possible, there are dozens or even hundreds of seventh steps.

"My name is Qin Fan, and this is Yan Zhenping. We're also going to the Endless Void. But the more people who enter the Endless Void, the better. How about we team up and go in together?"

The man spoke very sincerely.

Mu Yin was slightly taken aback. This was inexplicable, wasn't it?
Entering the endless void with strangers was fine, but she was not so willing to go in with two people at the seventh step of the Great Dao.

"Sorry, I'm waiting for my friend here. I've already teamed up with my friend." Mu Yin immediately refused, without even giving her own name.

Upon hearing that Mu Yin had friends, Qin Fan and Yan Zhenping exchanged a glance.

Yan Zhenping stepped forward, and just as she was about to speak, the space suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

"There's a teleportation array here?" Qin Fan looked at Mu Yin with surprise and uncertainty.

Even if there are teleportation arrays in the Fog Realm, they are only for short distances. Moreover, the rules of heaven and earth at the edge of the endless void are even more complex, so how could there be teleportation arrays there?
