After the myth

Chapter 1103 The First Realm Lord, Mo Yuantian

"Then I'll go into seclusion first." After giving Ding Huan the location of Dou Ling's cave, Shen Dai said this in a flattering tone.

Ding Huan suddenly spoke up: "Wait a moment."

Shen Dai's heart skipped a beat; he was worried that something might go wrong if he fused with the physical body.

Ding Huan felt something was amiss, which is why he asked Shen Dai to wait a moment.

What exactly is wrong with it?
After reviewing everything that had happened, a sudden idea flashed through his mind. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Wuji spoke up:

"I'm thinking about something. The news of Dou Ling's demise may have already been discovered. If Ding Huanyi were to transform into Dou Ling and leave, we might be in a dangerous situation."

Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief; that was the problem.

He had always felt something was amiss, and Mo Wuji voiced his opinion.

“I agree with Wuji. If it were so easy to sneak into the First Universe, and even enter Dou Ling’s cave, then who knows how many people from the First Universe would have gotten in.”

So when Shen Dai brought his men in, the people here probably noticed. Perhaps they were all busy, or perhaps they didn't care; in any case, they didn't have time to question Shen Dai.

Moreover, in their eyes, the people from the other nine universes posed no threat whatsoever…

At this point, Ding Huan looked at Shen Dai and said, "Shen Dai, you can go into seclusion to recover your physical body. Remember, if anyone asks about Dou Ling, just say that Dou Ling occupied your cave and that you attacked him."

Then he fled, and whether he lived or died, or where he went, you insist you don't know.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dai shuddered.

Ding Huan's words clearly implied that he had eliminated Dou Ling.

Is Ding Huan really that powerful?
He immediately realized that he shouldn't worry about these things; his priority was to restore his physical body.

"Yes, I promise I won't reveal a single clue."

"Okay, you can go now." Ding Huan waved his hand.

After Shen Dai left, Ding Huan said again, "I think some people must know that I killed Dou Ling."

Even if most people don't know, the number one powerhouse, Mo Yuantian, certainly does.

If I were to easily form a fighting stance and try to escape like this, we might truly never get out of this place.

Ye Xuan sighed, "What a pity, Dou Ling's cave must have a lot of good things. Why don't we let Shen Dai perfect his physical body and then go to Dou Ling's cave?"

Ding Huan immediately shook his head: "No way, Shen Dai is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees Dou Ling. Even if he ambushes and kills Dou Ling in a fit of anger, he won't have the guts to continue making money in Dou Ling's cave."

If Shen Dai were to go to Dou Ling's cave now, it would immediately arouse suspicion, which is not in line with Shen Dai's character.

Therefore, we have no choice but to abandon Dou Ling's cave and leave the First Universe. Moreover, we cannot rush our departure; we need to wait some time.

Everyone agreed with Ding Huan's words.

The four of them could only sit foolishly outside Shen Dai's cave and wait.

Although the four of them were all at the pinnacle of their respective universes in the other nine universes, none of them dared to let their divine sense penetrate beyond their realm.

None of them could guarantee that there weren't divine beings waiting for them outside.

As Ding Huan had predicted, the facts were as expected.

A surveillance barrier had appeared outside Shen Dai's cave at some point.

If Ding Huan were to go out in the form of a fighting spirit, he would probably be noticed immediately.

The four of them sat idly in Shen Dai's cave for seven or eight days before finally beginning the teleportation.

After returning to the edge of the first universe, the four of them rushed out of the first universe without wasting a single moment.

The unease didn't disappear until the four of them passed through the dimensional defenses of the first universe.

……

Almost at the same time that Ding Huan and the others left the First Universe, tens of millions of miles away from Shen Dai's cave, a man who looked very young suddenly frowned and stood up.

He flashed and landed outside Shen Dai's cave in the blink of an eye.

The man glanced at the surveillance barriers outside Shen Dai's cave, but instead of activating the spatial barrier set up by Shen Dai, he called out in a calm voice, "Lord Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Dai, who was in the process of perfecting his physical body, instinctively shuddered and his face instantly turned pale.

He struggled to calm his turbulent emotions before rushing out of the Yuan Dao Pool, opening the outer boundary barrier, and bowing respectfully in the most humble voice:
"Shen Dai greets Lord Mo."

The First World has nine Realm Lords, from the First Realm Lord to the Ninth Realm Lord.

As the Ninth Realm Lord, Shen Dai intentionally or unintentionally ignored this issue in front of Ding Huan and the others.

Even when cooperating with Ding Huan and others, he was unwilling to tell them that he, Shen Dai, was the last Realm Lord, managing the most barren Realm of the First Universe and living at the very edge of the First Universe.

This will further diminish his standing in the eyes of Ding Huan and others.

The person standing before them was none other than Mo Yuantian, the First Realm Lord.

Over the years, Shen Dai had only met Mo Yuantian a handful of times.

He never imagined that Mo Yuantian would one day stand in front of his cave and ask him questions.

Although Shen Dai's physical body was far from perfect at this time, and even at the critical moment of perfecting his physical body, he still dared not waste a single moment when he heard Mo Yuantian's summons.

Even standing here, he still felt deeply fearful and uneasy.

If Mo Yuantian wanted to kill him, he could just blow a breath at him.

He bet that Mo Yuantian was unaware of his collusion with Ding Huan and the other three.

Otherwise, Mo Yuantian wouldn't be talking to him so politely; he would have killed him long ago and subjected him to soul-searching and tendon-pulling.

"Are you restoring your physical body?" Mo Yuantian's voice was very gentle.

Shen Dai was terrified when he heard this.

He said cautiously, "Yes, my physical body is somewhat damaged, so I simply used a second body." He could hide this from others, but not from Mo Yuantian; hiding it would be suicide.

Why did your physical body shatter?

Mo Yuantian asked again.

Shen Dai felt a deep bitterness in his heart. How many years had his physical body been broken?

Mo Yuantian had never cared about this before, but today he was actually concerned about his physical body.

It goes without saying that it's because of Dou Ling.

Heh, Dou Ling and he are both realm lords of the First Universe. No one cares whether he is dead or alive, but everyone cares once something happens to Dou Ling.

Shen Dai became increasingly convinced that Dou Ling had indeed been killed by Ding Huan.

"I had some opportunities outside and wanted to come back to seclude myself, but I found that my cave had been occupied. I was very angry at the time."

Later, I launched a sneak attack on the person who occupied my cave. I succeeded in my sneak attack and severely injured him before he left.

But that person didn't let me go when they left. I was severely injured, my physical body was even shattered, and I could only recover using a second body.

"Oh, who is the one who has occupied your cave?"

"I couldn't see very clearly, but it seemed to be a Battle Realm Master. He was seriously injured. I was really furious at the time, which is why I launched a sneak attack. I regretted it as soon as I did..."

Mo Yuantian nodded.

He did see that Shen Dai hadn't left since he came in.

Not long after Shen Dai entered, Dou Ling perished.

The fall of a world lord in the First Universe could not escape his notice.

Shen Dai didn't come out; he just stared at Shen Dai.

Dou Ling seized Shen Dai's cave dwelling. Although Shen Dai was cowardly, it was understandable that he would scheme against Dou Ling in his anger.

He couldn't possibly have seized Shen Dai's cave because Dou Ling had plotted against him. After Shen Dai schemed against Dou Ling, he came looking for trouble with Shen Dai.

If you do that, your buttocks will be way too crooked.

He came here because of the fluctuations that occurred when Ding Huan and the others left the First Universe.

He already knew that outsiders had entered the First Universe.

Not only Shen Dai, but he also knew about the other realm lords' little tricks. How many women did Zuo Yang bring in?

He didn't take any of these things to heart.

He believed that no matter which realm lord it was, they would not dare to or would not lead people from other universes to harm the interests of the First Universe.

Even if they were incredibly stupid, they wouldn't be so stupid as to let people into the First Universe to take over their very foundation.

As for the idea that someone could overwhelm the several realm lords of the First Universe and force them to cooperate, Mo Yuantian never even considered it.

The Great Dao cultivated by the Lord of the First Universe and the cultivators of the other nine universes is not even on the same level as the rules of the universe.

Given that there is absolutely no comparison, how could a cultivator from the outer universe suppress a world lord from the first universe?
The reason they allowed people from other universes to enter the First Universe was simply a matter of their own interests and the cultivation methods of the Great Dao.

Just turn a blind eye.

Shen Dai is currently in his cave dwelling, and he only came over to find out what was going on when he noticed spatial fluctuations at the edge of the First Universe, which is under Shen Dai's jurisdiction.

"You allowed someone into Universe One?"

Shen Dai's face turned pale: "Yes, Lord Mo, I, I..."

He knew that he had no choice but to admit to cooperating with Ding Huan and the others.

No one can keep a secret from Mo Yuantian.

Mo Yuantian's tone remained unchanged, and he didn't even seem to care about Shen Dai's panic: "How is Dou Ling?"

Under immense pressure, Shen Dai was about to speak up and say that Dou Ling might have perished, but that he, Shen Dai, was not the one who killed Dou Ling.

However, he quickly remembered Ding Huan's instructions and, forcing himself to speak, said:

"After I ambushed the Lord of the Battle Realm, he retaliated and shattered my physical body."

I really don't know where he went after that..."

The main point is to deny it.

Even if you know he did it, you can't admit it.

To Shen Dai's disbelief, Mo Yuantian turned and left. Only after Mo Yuantian disappeared did he hear Mo Yuantian's calm voice:
"No matter what, from now on, cultivators from other universes will not be allowed to enter the First Universe."

Shen Dai knew better than anyone that the gentler and calmer Mo Yuantian's voice was, the angrier he was.

If you anger Mo Yuantian, you'll die without even knowing how.

Shen Dai, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief.

He understood that Mo Yuantian thought the extraterrestrial cultivators he brought in were all under his control, and that he had even imprinted them with the Great Dao.

Those people were all working for him, Shen Dai.

Little did they know, the truth was quite the opposite; Shen Dai was working for Ding Huan and his associates.

The only problem is that Shen Dai can't have his Dao Imprint branded by anyone.

As long as Mo Yuantian doesn't discover his cooperation with Ding Huan and the others for the time being, Shen Dai won't take it to heart no matter how angry he is.
