After the myth

Chapter 1083 Ten Directions Universe
Seeing that Qi Yuan did not move, Lan Xiaobu did not try to persuade him and directly pointed at him with a finger.

Qi Yuan urgently shouted, "I'll tell you two locations. Attack with all your might. If your attack power is sufficient, you have a chance to blast open this place within half an incense stick's time..."

He felt utterly contemptuous of Lan Xiaobu. "Stop using soul-searching to scare people all the time, okay? Can't you just say what's on your mind?"
Half an incense stick?
Lan Xiaobu definitely can't finish half an incense stick's worth.

In the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, that bastard Qinghe must have already teleported back.

He needs to finish everything within ten breaths.

Ten breaths, or rather, Lan Xiaobu was calculating the activation time of the teleportation talisman.

"You're useless." Lan Xiaobu was about to drag Qi Yuan into the world.

"Wait, I have another idea. The Holy Immortal Qinghe has a servant boy who frequently travels to and from the vast Qingyuan Plain to tend to these sacred rice plants..."

Qi Yuan racked his brains.

He was certain that this matter had not helped Lan Xiaobu properly, and that the first thing Lan Xiaobu would do after entering the world was to search his soul.

As if responding to Qi Yuan's words, almost at the same time Qi Yuan finished speaking, Lan Xiaobu saw a brown-robed cultivator walking over at the edge of his divine sense.

Lan Xiaobu immediately hid to the side and threw Qi Yuan into the Realm of Immortality.

This brown-robed monk must be He Tong, the old rascal Qinghe.

The brown-robed cultivator approached and leisurely took out a jade talisman to open the dimensional barrier in front of him.

Lan Xiaobu stared in astonishment at the vast expanse of sacred rice fields before him.

Although the Daoist aura of these sacred rice plants was blocked by the restrictions, Lan Xiaobu could still sense the vast天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).

He Tong took out another array plate and opened the isolation barrier of the sacred rice.

The rich aroma of sacred rice permeates the air.

Lan Xiaobu stepped forward and slapped He Tong on the forehead.

At this moment, the barrier that He Tong had opened in the Ten Thousand Mile Green Origin Realm had automatically closed.

Lan Xiaobu wasn't worried. He grabbed all of He Tong's jade talismans and array plates, then pointed a finger at He Tong's brow to begin searching for his soul.

After a dozen or so breaths, Lan Xiaobu tossed He Tong aside.

Then, upon entering the vast Qingyuan Plain, countless array patterns were blasted away by Lan Xiaobu. In less than half an incense stick's time, Lan Xiaobu had carried the entire Qingyuan Plain into his own Realm of Immortality.

After taking away all the sacred rice, Lan Xiaobu took out the jade talisman and prepared to reactivate the boundary restriction of the Ten Thousand Mile Green Plain.

However, he glanced back at the vast green plains and stopped moving.

The jade talisman in He Tong's hand can only be used to enter and exit this realm once a day.

This place can cultivate the sacred rice of the Wanli region, so one can only imagine the power of the Chaos Dao Vein implanted beneath it.

This time, Lan Xiaobu didn't even bother to hide it, and once again unleashed countless array patterns.

As nearly ten thousand Chaos Dao Veins and Top-Grade Dao Veins were taken away by Lan Xiaobu, Lan Xiaobu opened the Dimensional Realm of the Ten Thousand Mile Green Plain.

It took Lan Xiaobu less than five breaths to extract these Dao veins before he left.

At the same time, Qinghe Shangsheng had just arrived outside Qi Yuan's cave with a group of people. Just as he was wondering why Lan Xiaobu hadn't set up a concealment barrier, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, he grabbed a teleportation talisman, activated it frantically, and teleported away.

From the moment he vomited blood to the moment he pulled out the teleportation talisman and activated it, less than ten breaths had passed.

This is because the teleportation talisman requires a certain amount of time to activate; otherwise, Qinghe Shangsheng would have used even less time.

When Qinghe Shangsheng suddenly teleported away, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Weren't we supposed to be here to intercept Lan Xiaobu?
Why did he leave so suddenly?

They didn't even leave a single word?

"Could it be that Lan Xiaobu suddenly launched a sneak attack on Qinghe Shangsheng's cave?"

Someone asked a question, but no one answered, because even an idiot would know that what could make the Qinghe Saint so anxious and distressed was that the Wanli Qingyuan had been raided.

That Wanli Shenghe rice is probably in danger.

Who dares to steal Qinghe Shangsheng's home?

It can only be Lan Xiaobu.

Lan Xiaobu has already gone to steal Qinghe Shangsheng's home, so naturally he won't be in seclusion here.

The group exchanged glances and quickly retreated.

If they don't hurry back, they might be the next ones to be raided by Lan Xiaobu.

……

Not long after Ding Huan's cosmic vessel left the Tongti Star Continent, a flying shuttle rapidly approached and blocked its path.

Ding Huan stopped the cosmic pot.

He had already seen a very young-looking cultivator standing in front of the other party's flying shuttle.

Ding Huan's expression was solemn.

Even though he hadn't spoken to the other person yet, he could sense that this person's cultivation level was probably no weaker than that of Suo Qianshan.

What is Mount Suqian?
Ding Huan was certain that he was no match for Suo Qianshan.

The reason why Suo Qianshan was able to be killed was entirely due to various sneak attacks and schemes.

If he makes one wrong move, he will not only fail to kill Suo Qianshan, but he may even be killed by the enemy.

Here appears a fellow who is no weaker than Suo Qianshan. How could Ding Huan not be wary?
He was prepared: once he made his move, he would send the others into the Five Elements World, and then he would find a way to escape.

"You must be Fellow Daoist Ding?" The cultivator on the flying shuttle wasn't aggressive. Instead, he stopped a dozen meters away from Ding Huan's cosmic cauldron and greeted him with clasped hands. Ding Huan was certain this guy wasn't from the same Ti Star Continent; the Dao aura emanating from him was somewhat different from the rules of heaven and earth on the same Ti Star Continent.

If there were a powerful figure like Suo Qianshan on Tongti Star Continent, theoretically, he wouldn't be allowed to leave Tongti Star Continent.

Ding Huan returned the greeting with clasped hands: "It is indeed Ding Huan. May I ask who you are, fellow Daoist?"

"My name is Ye Xuan, and I come from the Great Chen Star Continent..."

After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he pointed to one of the directions.

Ding Huan understood immediately.

It was one of the other two life-giving star continents he had seen when he found the Tongti Star Continent.

He was quite puzzled at the time.

It is quite rare to see three star systems so close together in the vast universe, all within a single void.

Despite his doubts, Ding Huan had no intention of visiting the other two star continents.

Unexpectedly, instead of him going there, someone else came looking for him.

Ye Xuan knew his name, so he must know what he had done with Ti Xinglu.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ye. May I ask what business Fellow Daoist Ye has with me?"

Ding Huan didn't sense any malice from Ye Xuan, but she still needed to be wary.

Ye Xuan said sincerely, "Brother Ding was able to come out of Tongti Star Land safely, which means that Suo Qianshan can't do anything to you either."

There's something I'd like to discuss with Brother Ding..."

Ding Huan didn't understand what Ye Xuan meant, so he simply opened the barrier: "Brother Ye, if you have something to say, why don't you come up and talk it over?"

Even if Ye Xuan is much stronger than him, once he enters his cosmic cauldron, he believes Ye Xuan can only remain passive.

Ding Huan estimated that Ye Xuan wouldn't dare to come up.

To his surprise, Ye Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing his words: "Thank you, Brother Ding."

And so, without the slightest hesitation, I stepped into the cosmic cauldron.

Ding Huan understood that Ye Xuan wasn't gambling on his character, but rather that he dared to do this because he was certain he could leave his cosmic cauldron at any time.

Ding Huan was speechless; although his strength was inferior to Ye Xuan's.

However, he believed that as long as he activated the dimensional restriction of the cosmic cauldron, he would most likely be able to trap Ye Xuan.

This guy is way too arrogant, isn't he?

"Brother Ding, do you know about the Ten Directions Universe?"

Ye Xuan's first words brought Ding Huan back to his senses.

Ding Huan had heard of the Ten Directions Universe from the mouth of Mount Suqian.

Suo Qianshan wanted to exchange his life for information from the Ten Directions Universe, but he completely ignored Suo Qianshan and killed him directly.

Later, he searched the soul but found nothing.

Now that Ye Xuan has mentioned the Ten Directions Universe again, Ding Huan immediately clasped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me, Brother Ye."

Ye Xuan said solemnly, "When your cultivation is about to step out of the ninth stage of the Great Dao, you will sense the existence outside the universe."

And they sensed the level of the laws of heaven and earth in the Great Dao universe they were in, and touched upon something deeper within their own Great Dao…

Just as Ding Huan was wondering if Ye Xuan had also taken the ninth step, Ye Xuan suddenly changed the subject:

"There are three life-giving planets in this void with very high heaven and earth rules: Tongti Star Continent, which you visited; Dachen Star Continent, where I am; and Wanpeng Star Continent."

You should know about Suo Qianshan from Tongti Star Continent. He was almost about to take the ninth step of the Great Dao. Fellow Daoist Ding was able to kill Suo Qianshan and leave Tongti Star Continent. He should also be one of us.

"On the Great Chen Star Continent, I can barely touch the pinnacle of the universe, sensing existences beyond it. And Li Zhuojian, the Star Lord of the Wanpeng Star Continent, is also at the same level as me and Suo Qianshan..."

Li Zhuojian?
Ding Huan immediately recalled the skeleton he had seen.

A message was left on the skeleton: "Go tell the people outside that we are all pitiful, Li Zhuojian."

The Li Zhuojian that Ye Xuan mentioned must be this person, right?
"What I mentioned before, the deeper level of feeling I experienced, is the Source Law and the new world built upon it."

Of the three of us, Li Zhuojian possesses the greatest talent; he sensed the existence of the Source Principles without relying on external aids. Furthermore, through some information, he learned of the existence of the Ten Directions Universe…”

From Ye Xuan's words, Ding Huan learned that in order to sense the existence of the Source Law, one must surpass the ninth step of the Great Dao.

He was able to comprehend the Source Principle at the seventh step of the Great Dao and break through the dimensional barrier that had trapped him.

That's because he cultivates the various laws of heaven and earth, and he was trapped in a certain realm, and happened to have a bunch of chaotic Dao veins on his body.

After studying for tens of thousands of years, he finally succeeded in understanding the principles of origin and the boundaries of position.

"Li Zhuojian and I have a very close relationship. He told me about the existence of the Source Law and the Dimensional Realm. Then he said that the universe we live in is only one of the ten universes."

To reach the next level, one must step out of the Ten Directions Universe. At that time, I had only just stepped into the ninth step of the Great Dao, so after Li Zhuojian told me this information, I went to find a way to leave the Ten Directions Universe on my own.

He has never returned since.

Ye Xuan sighed, somewhat saddened: "Years later, I achieved great success in the Great Dao and also comprehended the existence of the Origin Principle."

I found Suo Qianshan, told him about the Ten Directions Universe, and invited him to join me in searching for Li Zhuojian, but he refused without hesitation.

Hearing this, Ding Huan roughly understood that Ye Xuan wanted to join forces with him to find a way out of the Ten Directions Universe.

Little did they know, he had already stepped out of the Ten Directions Universe once.
