After the myth

Chapter 1095 Beyond the Ten Directions Universe
"Xiao Bu, this is Brother Ye Xuan. Before, when Ding Huan and I were being chased by an old man, it was Brother Ye Xuan who came to help drive us away."

This is Ding Huan, who came with me from the world of gods. The place I'm talking about was also the first place Ding Huan discovered.

Mo Wuji immediately introduced Ye Xuan and Ding Huan to Lan Xiaobu.

Lan Xiaobu had long heard of Ding Huan; he was very strong and extremely famous in the world of gods.

Not only that, Qi Manwei was saved by Ding Huan, and even the cultivation technique that Qi Manwei practiced was given to her by Ding Huan.

Lan Xiaobu wasn't entirely clear about Ding Huan's exact strength, but he knew Mo Wuji's strength all too well.

Hearing Mo Wuji say that he and Ding Huan were also being hunted down, it's clear how strong the guy chasing them was.

Ye Xuan was actually able to drive away the combined forces of Lan Xiaobu and Ding Huan who were chasing him, so his strength definitely surpassed that of Qinghe Shangsheng.

Lan Xiaobu immediately stepped forward to greet them. The four of them had the same goal, and once they started chatting, they felt like they had known each other for a long time.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Ye Xuan knew that Lan Xiaobu was another powerful cultivator whose own Dao was no weaker than Mo Wuji and Ding Huan.

He thought to himself, "If I hadn't left the Great Star Continent, I would never have known how many unparalleled geniuses there are in the vast universe."

"Wuji, who could possibly be hunting you down alongside Brother Ding?" Lan Xiaobu was very concerned about this question.

Even Qinghe Shangsheng at the center of chaos was not qualified to deal with the combined forces of Ding Huan and Mo Wuji, let alone pursue them.

Mo Wuji sighed, "This matter is also related to you..."

To Lan Xiaobu's surprise, Mo Wuji recounted in detail how Ding Huan met Zuo Budu.

Upon hearing that it was because he had killed Fang Luo, Zuo Budu wanted to find his Changsheng Island, but was stopped by Ding Huan, who then chased after him all the way here.

Lan Xiaobu felt a wave of fear wash over him. He quickly got up to thank Ding Huan, and then thanked Ye Xuan as well.

Ding Huan, in particular, rescued Qi Manwei first, and then rescued Changsheng Island.

Although Lan Xiaobu didn't say some things, he already considered Ding Huan as a friend, just like Mo Wuji.

"Xiao Bu, what we need to do now is improve our strength, otherwise we'll have to run away again if we encounter Zuo Budu again," Mo Wuji said seriously.

Lan Xiaobu agreed with Mo Wuji's statement, but there was still some worry in his eyes: "I'm worried that Zuo Budu will go looking for my Changsheng Island again."

Ye Xuan said, "Zuo Budu was forced back by my sword, and then he was ambushed and escaped by Wuji. I know him very well. If he can't crush me, he won't come out again."

"If Zuo Budu wants to crush me, he needs to restore his own Dao, so he must go and heal his injuries..."

"Brother Ye, you said that Zuo Budu was injured when he fought you?" Lan Xiaobu was shocked.

Ding Huan said, "When he met me, he was injured, and the injury was quite serious. It was probably a problem with his Dao foundation."

When we removed his principles of creation, he was in the endless void, which should have been the time to restore his foundation.

The reason he came out early was probably because he sensed that his Creation Dao Laws had been almost completely destroyed, and also because his lackey Fang Luo was killed by you..."

At this point, Ding Huan remembered the Creation Principle: "Xiao Bu, you didn't integrate the Creation Principle into your own Great Dao, did you?"

Lan Xiaobu shook his head: "That kind of Dao principle is not worthy of being integrated into my Great Dao. I have integrated it into my magic weapon."

Ding Huan asked that question because he didn't understand Lan Xiaobu.

Mo Wuji understood Lan Xiaobu, so he didn't even ask.

How could someone like Lan Xiaobu, who has absolute confidence in his own Dao, possibly integrate other people's Dao principles into his own Dao?

Even if this principle was created when the vast universe was first opened, he still wouldn't consider it.

Because he wanted to create his own universe.

Their purpose in seeking the principles of creation was the same as Ding Huan's: simply to gain insight into the laws of origin and creation.

"That's good. Our mission this time is to find the place where we can attain the eighth step of enlightenment," Ding Huan said.

Ye Xuan said, "Xiao Bu, you have already stepped into the eighth step. When you stepped into the eighth step, you did not comprehend the source principle, so you need to perfect the eighth step."

Lan Xiaobu nodded. He knew he had entered the eighth step too early when he comprehended the Source Law.

Ye Xuan's tone was very tactful: "If you haven't perfected the eighth step, even if you face Zuo Budu, your chances of winning aren't high."

Saying that the odds of winning are not high is actually a sure way to lose.

Although Lan Xiaobu was worried about Changsheng Island, he could only send a few messages back.

Even if he goes back now, he can't stop Zuo Budu.

The four discussed the Dao as they traveled. They talked about the methods of setting up the realms, starting with the origins of Dao, and then moving on to the ten directions of the universe.

Then the conversation moved from the ten directions of the universe to beyond the ten directions of the universe.

……

Ten years later, Ding Huan stopped using the cosmic pot.

"Have we entered a different dimension?" Ye Xuan immediately realized that the cosmic cauldron had entered a certain dimension.

Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, I was trapped here for seventy or eighty thousand years before I comprehended the Origin Law and opened this dimensional realm to enter that place."

"Ding Huan, open this dimension, I'll take a look." Ye Xuan's domain extended, indicating to Ding Huan to control the cosmic cauldron to leave this dimension.

Ding Huan raised his hand and unleashed a series of Origin Law Dao Patterns. In just a few dozen breaths, the Cosmic Cauldron burst out of this spatial dimension.

Ye Xuan said, "Ding Huan, the reason you were able to break through this realm is because it was broken before and then automatically repaired itself, so the realm itself was imperfect. If this realm had not been broken, you would probably still be trapped here by now."

"Was it Li Zhuojian who broke it?" Ding Huan asked.

Ye Xuan shook his head: "I'm not very clear about it, but when Li Zhuojian left Wanpeng Star Continent, he was already familiar with the Origin Rules and the Realms."

This kind of realm that blocks the ten directions of the universe must be controlled by someone.

The fact that no one has come to repair this boundary after it has been broken for so long suggests that something may really be wrong with them.

Perhaps, this is why you can leave peacefully...

Ye Xuan's voice abruptly stopped.

It was like Ding Huan seeing this universe for the first time.

At this moment, not only Ye Xuan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu, but also everyone else was shocked by the cosmic scene before them.

The Milky Way hangs upside down, mountains and rivers in all directions, and a natural void avenue like a golden ribbon is interspersed throughout, creating a beautiful scene, just like a fairy tale universe.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth is clean and pure, and the rules of heaven and earth are clear and distinct.

"What a magnificent multidimensional universe! It's a visual shock!" Lan Xiaobu exclaimed after a long while.

Those who have cultivated to their level are already able to perceive the multidimensionality of the universe.

However, the existence of a multidimensional universe in their vision still amazed them.

"That must be Chaos Iron Mother Mountain." Mo Wuji's gaze fell on a giant peak in the distance, and he sighed with emotion.

If this Chaos Iron Mother Mountain were completely refined and infused with its own source principles, it would likely become another Chaos Treasure.

Ye Xuan's gaze pierced through the vast mountains and rivers, extending into the distance.

A full incense stick's time passed before Ye Xuan finally withdrew his gaze.

"Brother Ye, is there a problem?" Ding Huan asked immediately.

Ye Xuan said solemnly, "It's obvious that very few people come here. Look at these places, there are all kinds of creation treasures, and you can also see the Chaos Treasures. All kinds of natural treasures derived from Chaos can be seen everywhere."

"This must be outside the Ten Directions Universe, no doubt. Legend has it that anyone who enters outside the Ten Directions Universe will be annihilated. We've been here unharmed since, so clearly something's wrong with the people here too..."

Ye Xuan frowned and pondered as he spoke.

"If something went wrong with the people here, then why did Li Zhuojian perish?" Ding Huan asked.

Li Zhuojian's strength was even greater than Ye Xuan's. If no one had intervened to deal with him, he would not have perished here on his own.

"Let's go see Li Zhuojian." Ye Xuan also wanted to know how Li Zhuojian had perished here.

"You will follow me, but you must first comprehend the fundamental principles of this world, and then revise your escape techniques accordingly."

Ding Huan led the way, but he wasn't going very fast.

Whether it was Ye Xuan, Mo Wuji, or Lan Xiaobu, they had all just arrived in this universe.

Their escape techniques are useless here.

Ye Xuan and the other two realized the problem Ding Huan had mentioned: their original escape techniques could not be used here.

The main reason is that the laws governing the universe here are completely different from those of the ten directions of the universe.

Fortunately, whether it was Ye Xuan, Mo Wuji, or Lan Xiaobu, they were all top-tier cultivators who had mastered the Great Dao.

In addition, their understanding of the source law is already very deep.

The three quickly corrected their escape techniques.

Led by Ding Huan, the four arrived at the place where Li Zhuojian had perished. (The Dao Jian issue has been corrected.)
Although Li Zhuojian's remains have not completely disappeared, they should be gone in no time.

"This is a good place for cultivation." Lan Xiaobu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the spot where Li Zhuojian had fallen.

Ye Xuan said, "This is the true universe where the Mother Law resides, so it is the best place to prove the eighth step of the Dao."

The universe we inhabit is merely one aspect of the ten universes.

"Did the Ten Directions Universe originate from here?" Lan Xiaobu thought of the center of chaos.

The world of gods and the island of gods evolved from the center of chaos.

Ye Xuan shook his head: "I don't know either. When I obtained the opportunity to attain the Great Dao, I also obtained a record."

They say they are observing the development of the Ten Directions Universe from outside, watching the struggles of ants. Then they use this to compare whose universe is more powerful.

Ding Huan immediately said, "Brother Ye, I have a feeling that even if we are cultivators from the Ten Directions Universe, the Ten Directions Universe should be a natural existence in the vastness, not someone else's Great Dao Universe."

Ye Xuan did not refute: "Yes, the Ten Directions Universe is indeed not someone else's Great Dao Universe, but it is indeed possible for it to evolve from this universe."

The supreme beings in this universe can clearly see all existence in the ten universes. Therefore, each of them has designated a universe for a competition.

Although the life in the Ten Directions Universe is unrelated to them, and they cannot control the existence of life in the Ten Directions Universe with a single thought, they do indeed have the ability to destroy the Ten Directions Universe and cause it to reincarnate repeatedly…

"A cataclysmic calamity?" Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu exchanged a glance, as if an answer was becoming increasingly clear.
