After the myth

Chapter 1032 The Path of Mortals

She truly didn't take the thick marks seriously.

However, Houhen was right about one thing: if it weren't for Ding Huan, she would have killed Houhen long ago.

She was well aware that Houhen was making extra money through the Gods' Trading Company.

Why did she stay in the Gods' Trading Company, a trading company so dedicated to the laws of the universe?
Isn't it all for cultivation resources?

The Dao Meridian earned by the commercial building is limited; if the Thick Mark takes away a portion, she will lose a lot.

“Brother Ding, I know you won’t believe me no matter what I say, but I never intended to destroy the Sect Master’s body. The Sect Master has been kind to me, and I never thought of harming her.” Xin Xi’er looked at Ding Huan with a sincere tone.

Ding Huan said calmly, "You don't need to make me believe that I am not interested in whether you want to destroy Ji Sixin's body or not."

I just want to see your world, because I don't think you would hand over the Cosmic Silk to Yuan Qianshan..."

As Ding Huan spoke, he reached out and grabbed Xin Xi'er.

He genuinely wanted to see Xinxi'er's world.

He had heard of cosmic silk, but had never actually seen it.

If a cultivator doesn't understand cosmic threads, even if a pile of cosmic threads is placed in front of them, it will be of no use.

If one truly knows about the Cosmic Silk, then one would definitely regard it as one of the most supreme treasures in the universe, perhaps even comparable to the supreme treasures of post-chaos.

When Xin Xi'er saw Ding Huan's handprint reaching out, she could feel a strange danger in her world. Her expression changed instantly, and she instinctively moved away.

Ding Huan's seventh step on the Great Dao is enough to easily crush Yang Tian.

Surprisingly, they couldn't catch Xinxi'er in one go.

Ding Huan looked at Xin Xi'er with some surprise. He had indeed grabbed Xin Xi'er casually just now.

However, Xinxi'er's ability to dodge his grab indicates that she is definitely not an ordinary sixth-step True Saint.

However, this was not what shocked Ding Huan.

Ding Huan was so shocked because he caught a sense of familiarity in the Daoist aura that Xin Xi'er had just moved away from.

He had seen the great cultivation techniques that Xin Xi'er practiced.

Not long ago, he cleaved a colossal handprint in the void with a single slash. He didn't know who the handprint was aiming at, but he was very annoyed by it and tore it apart with a single slash.

Ding Huan didn't know where the handprint came from either, only that it was extremely powerful.

And Xin Xi'er's Daoist Daoist Rhyme actually originated from the same source as that of the giant handprint. If you say that these two people are not related, Ding Huan really doesn't believe it.

"Brother Ding, you opened up my world just to make me die. Please, Brother Ding, have mercy." Xin Xi'er's eyes were red, and her tone was full of sorrow.

Ding Huan looked calmly at Xin Xi'er: "What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"

Xin Xi'er looked at Ding Huan with some confusion. What did this have to do with what kind of cultivation technique she practiced?
However, she still answered, "The way of man."

Ding Huan didn't understand. He asked in confusion, "The Way of Man? What is the Way of Man?"

Xinxi'er respectfully replied, "Actually, the Human Mortal Path is not a complete cultivation method, but rather originates from the Mortal Path. The Mortal Path has three classics: the first classic is the Human Mortal Path, the second classic is the Earth Mortal Path, and the third classic is the Heaven Mortal Path."

"I only obtained the first scripture? Therefore, I can only cultivate the mortal path."

"Where did you get your cultivation technique from? Who is your master? Which sect do you belong to?" Ding Huan asked three questions in a row.

Xin Xi'er knew that if Ding Huan wanted to kill her, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; he could just mention it.

Therefore, when faced with Ding Huan's question, she dared not hide anything: "I have no master, nor have I ever joined a sect. When I was born, the mortal path was already in my consciousness."

Dihe curled her lip, clearly not believing Xinxi'er's nonsense.

The inheritance of the Great Dao bloodline is a talent and ability of top-level divine beasts. When did humans have such a talent?

He believed that with Ding Huan's intelligence, he could definitely tell that none of Xin Xi'er's words were true.

Unlike Di He, Ding Huan believed Xin Xi'er's words wholeheartedly, thinking that she was telling the truth.

"Does your lineage tell you that you cannot join a sect or become an apprentice?"

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Xin Xi'er's face grew even paler. She couldn't understand why Ding Huan even knew this.

Now all she could do was nod.

Ding Huan gave Xin Xi'er a meaningful look: "Your cultivation of the Mortal Path requires a lot of cultivation resources, right? And the more you progress, the more resources you need?"

Xin Xi'er did not answer, but simply acquiesced to Ding Huan's words.

She suspected that every word she uttered would reveal a host of problems.

If she didn't need a lot of cultivation techniques, why would she want to take over the Gods' Merchant Pavilion?

In fact, there was one more thing Ding Huan didn't ask: she had to step into the seventh step of the Great Dao in the shortest possible time, otherwise the Earthly Mortal Dao in her bloodline would never awaken.

Who are your parents?

Xin Xi'er shook her head; she truly didn't know.

When she was young, she was living alone in the wild, and she had the mortal cultivation techniques in her mind.

"Open up your world."

Ding Huan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

Xin Xi'er trembled slightly, not daring to continue refuting, and directly opened her own world.

She knew that even if she was a true saint at the sixth step of the Great Dao, Ding Huan could still easily tear apart her Great Dao world.

Just now she begged Ding Huan not to open her world, because opening her world would only lead her to die.

Now that she could truly sense the killing intent emanating from Ding Huan, she proactively opened her own world without mentioning death. Ding Huan scanned Xin Xi'er's world with his divine sense and indeed found no trace of the cosmic thread, indicating that the cosmic thread was truly not with Xin Xi'er.

Moreover, Xin Xi'er, who is the most powerful person in the Gods' Merchant Guild besides Ji Sixin, doesn't even have a single top-grade Dao vein in the world.

"Okay."

Upon hearing those three words, Xinxi quickly shut herself up.

But Ding Huan's next words made her heart skip a beat again: "Carve out the mortal path for me."

"what……"

Xin Xi'er looked at Ding Huan in disbelief. Did he really want her cultivation technique?
"You can also choose not to inscribe your cultivation technique. You should know that I can search souls. And you should know that with my discerning eye, even if you inscribe the wrong element of the Heavenly Qi, I can still tell."

Ding Huan showed no sympathy whatsoever; his tone was filled with murderous intent.

This is not the time to be overly kind.

If Xin Xi'er is connected to the owner of the handprint that he cleaved apart with a single strike, then his chances of survival are completely different depending on whether he knows the other party's technique or not.

"Yes." Xin Xi'er responded with a humiliating voice, raising her hand to begin inscribing her own Great Dao cultivation technique.

She carved very quickly, finishing in just half an incense stick's time.

But she was dumbfounded the next moment.

Because the 'Human Path' she inscribed disappeared directly from the jade slip, leaving no trace whatsoever.

“Brother Ding, I can’t depict it.” Xin Xi’er breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that she didn't want to carve it, but rather that this technique seemed to be unable to withstand the rules of heaven and earth; as soon as it encountered the rules of heaven and earth, it would dissolve directly.

Ding Huan said calmly, "That's not your problem. Let's leave it at that."

At the same time, a jade slip with the inscription "Human Mortal Path" appeared in Ding Huan's world.

Every Daoist aura in this jade slip is exactly the same as the one Xin Xi'er depicted.

After Xinxi finished carving the jade slip, she realized that her 'Human Path' could not be recorded on the jade slip.

Ding Huan knew when Xin Xi'er carved the first character that "Human Mortal Path" could not be recorded on a jade slip.

Therefore, when Xin Xi'er was inscribing, he remembered every word, every Dao rhyme, and every law fluctuation clearly, and copied them in his own Great Dao World.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Xin Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief.

She also didn't want her cultivation technique to be taken away by others.

That's why she had no idea that her cultivation technique couldn't be exposed to light, because she had never inscribed the technique on a jade slip.

Ding Huan didn't ask any more questions.

Xin Xi'er wanted to leave, but she didn't dare.

Fortunately, Ji Sixin's primordial spirit was not separated for long, and Ji Sixin was, after all, the owner of the Gods' Merchant Pavilion, so she naturally had a lot of treasures on her.

In a very short time, her primordial spirit merged with her physical body.

After merging with the physical body, Si Xin did not go into seclusion to continue restoring her own Dao, but instead quickly came out to thank Ding Huan and Houhen.

She also knew that once she went into seclusion, it wouldn't be a matter of just a day or two.

Ding Huan waved his hand, saying that helping Ji Sixin was just something he did on a whim.

For him, his friendship with Ji Sixin was primarily driven by self-interest.

"OP, I really just wanted to..."

Xin Xi'er also stepped forward to apologize to Ji Sixin. She didn't know what to say. Should she say that she just wanted Ji Sixin to reincarnate as soon as possible?

Or rather, is it possible that Ji Sixin's spirit will return alive and intact?

Ji Sixin sighed and waved to Xin Xier, "For the sake of our many years of friendship, you should leave."

Seeing that Ding Huan didn't speak, Xin Xi'er suppressed her excitement at surviving, bowed to Ji Sixin, and quickly left the Gods' Merchant Building.

This is a matter for the Gods' Trading Company, and Ding Huan naturally wouldn't interfere.

He asked Xinxi'er a bunch of questions, all because of the colossal handprint he had defeated.

"Master Ji, you're too easygoing. If it were me, I would have killed you and that would have been the end of it." Di He was very unhappy that Xin Xi'er had left like that.

Ji Sixin sighed again: "The Gods' Merchant Hall was indeed built by Xin Xi'er. All she wanted was resources."

"Brother Ding, if I'm not mistaken, Xin Xi'er must have secretly sold the Cosmic Silk to Luo."

Even without Ji Sixin's reminder, Ding Huan could guess that it was like this.

"Lord Sixin, let me ask you something else. Do you know of any supreme powerhouses with the surname Xin in the World of Gods?"

This is what Ding Huan should be concerned about.

He didn't take it to heart even though he had already stepped into the seventh step.

Ji Sixin nodded: "My father once told me that the creation of the world of gods was inseparable from a person named Xin Changkong, but my father didn't know the specifics."

This is also one of the reasons why Ji Sixin dared not kill Xin Xier.

Because Xin Xi'er was saved by her father, when Xin Xi'er appeared, she was a little girl alone on the edge of chaos.

Her father had long suspected that Xin Xi'er was the embodiment of Xin Changkong's Daoist thoughts.
