After the myth

Chapter 1121 The Seven-Man Squad
"Ye Xuan, I'm glad you're okay." Seeing Ye Xuan coming, Lan Xiaobu felt relieved.

"Xiao Bu, what's the situation?" When Ding Huan asked the question, he knew that the rules in the chaos had changed, and the divine consciousness could roam freely in the chaos.

Anyone who can change the rules of the chaotic area in the world of gods is indeed not a simple person.

Lan Xiaobu told him everything he knew, including the three people who were hiding to the side waiting for Ding Huan, and at the same time, he drew images in the air.

Ding Huan laughed and said, "I know, these three guys are Zuo Shanyi, Luo, and Xin Xi'er."

Zuo Shanyi, nicknamed "Dung Beetle," is very cunning. I've always wanted to get rid of him, but I've always just missed.

This Xin Xi'er is very strange. She claims to be Xin Changkong's daughter, but in reality, she is formed from the Daoist thoughts left behind by Xin Changkong combined with some kind of Daoist principle in the chaotic energy.

Xin Changkong's cultivation of the mortal path is similar to Wuji's cultivation of the great path..."

Mo Wuji chuckled: "I killed that guy."

Ding Huan was not surprised that Mo Wuji had killed Xin Changkong.

He had already obtained the Mortal Dao Scroll from Xin Xi'er and given it to Mo Wuji. With Mo Wuji's ability to comprehend the Great Dao, killing Xin Changkong would naturally not be a difficult task.

"Wuji, don't underestimate this Xin Xi'er. Although her Dao originates from Xin Changkong, her potential probably already surpasses that of Xin Changkong."

The fact that Zuo Shanyi was willing to team her up shows that he highly regards her. I know how strong the dung beetle is; it's not much weaker than us, and it's very cunning.

Ding Huan offered a serious reminder.

Ye Xuan said, "No matter how cunning he is, what does it have to do with us? Let them go their way, and we'll go ours."

Ding Huan said, "I made a promise with Dung Beetle to team up. Xinxi'er and Luo, whom he brought, are his teammates, and the three of you are my teammates."

The reason we teamed up with this guy is because he seems to know more about the Chaos Center than we do, and he's very familiar with the Dixin.

"And one more thing, after you see the dung beetle later, see if it has any connection to Zuo Yang from the First Universe?"

"Xiao Bu and I both know Luo, and he knows us too, so we need to change our appearance." As Mo Wuji spoke, he was thinking to himself, "This Luo has been a menace for millennia."

How many cosmic calamities have occurred?

Many star systems have long since ceased to exist, yet this guy is still alive and well, even thriving. He's incredibly resilient.

"Not only must they change their forms, but Wuji and Xiaobu's cultivation levels must be concealed between the seventh and eighth steps of the Great Dao. Old Ye's cultivation level must be controlled at the eighth step of the Great Dao, but his understanding of the source must be vague."

Ding Huan added another sentence.

Ding Huan knew all too well what dung beetles were like.

This guy's upbringing was almost identical to his; he definitely didn't come from a comfortable, sheltered environment.

It's about starting as an ordinary mortal and gradually working your way up to where you are today.

He knew better than anyone how quickly his strength had improved through cultivating the Great Universe Technique.

After crushing the dung beetle in the Immortal Realm, he felt that was the closest the dung beetle's cultivation level had ever been to his.

Now that they have arrived in the World of Gods, which is almost the most advanced Great Dao universe in the vast universe, the dung beetle and he are still at a similar level of cultivation.

He didn't get far away from the dung beetle.

“Look at this thing.”

Lan Xiaobu took out Shenghe rice.

The Shenghe rice has a unique fragrance as soon as it is taken out. Each grain is not much larger than a regular grain of rice, almost the same size, and has a light green color.

Various Taoist rhythms flowed around it, seemingly containing some kind of mysterious aura.

"Good stuff..." Ye Xuan knew as soon as he got the Sacred Rice that it was something special. Not only was it cultivated from the Chaos Dao Vein, but it also contained various creation Dao principles and the source of creation.

As Ding Huan's divine sense penetrated into the sacred rice, he heard Mo Wuji say:

"This thing can probably also purify some kind of corrosive Daoist essence, including a purest purification principle that I've never encountered before..."

Mo Wuji cultivates the mortal path and has a deep understanding of rice, a spiritual plant.

Lan Xiaobu nodded: "Wuji is right. I heard from that dung beetle that this thing is very important, even the key to this operation."

As for how to use it, this guy didn't say. So later I'll distribute the sacred rice, ten thousand catties per person."

Mo Wuji and the other two all stared intently at Lan Xiaobu.

"How much Shenghe rice did you actually get?"

Lan Xiaobu smiled awkwardly: "I took all of that old bastard Qinghe Shangsheng's sacred rice from the Wanli Qingyuan Plain."

"Wanli?" The other three looked at Lan Xiaobu speechlessly.

You have ten thousand catties of sacred rice from the vast Qingyuan Plain, and you only give each of us ten thousand catties?

Lan Xiaobu quickly waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, the yield of this stuff is ridiculously low. I only harvested tens of thousands of catties of the sacred rice in Wanli Qingyuan."

When Mo Wuji, Ding Huan, and Ye Xuan heard that only tens of thousands of catties of sacred rice had been harvested in the Wanli Qingyuan Plain, they thought the yield was not only ridiculously low, but practically nonexistent.

"The Shenghe rice looks very good. Each stalk is full of Shenghe rice grains and looks heavy. In fact, only one grain per stalk is a full grain, and the rest are all empty grains."

After Lan Xiaobu finished speaking, he took out a stalk of rice.

Sure enough, only one grain of rice was plump; the rest seemed to have had all their nutrients drained away, leaving them empty and devoid of any substance.

Ding Huan attempted to refine a handful of Sacred Rice and felt a new source of vitality within his body that he had never encountered before.

This source of life force would definitely be helpful to his path to enlightenment, and might even help him improve his cultivation. However, Ding Huan didn't sense any connection between this thing and the crucial role the dung beetle had mentioned.

"Maybe this thing isn't meant to be used outside. We'll be able to use it once we enter the center of chaos." Lan Xiaobu had already tried the Sacred Rice.

He tried everything: refining, steaming, boiling.

It is very helpful for purifying one's own Dao, but after Yi Yuanze stepped into the eighth step of his Dao of Longevity, there was almost no trace of its original charm left.

This stuff really can only be eaten as a meal.

Mo Wuji laughed and said, "I suspect that the people you mentioned, such as He Da Shang Sheng and Qing He Shang Sheng, are very likely implicated because of you."

They might have been cultivating sacred rice for Dixin, but just as the rice was about to ripen, you harvested it all.

Lan Xiaobu wholeheartedly agreed.

Under normal circumstances, no one can take away the sacred rice cultivated by Qinghe Shangsheng.

Don't even mention taking it away; you can't even enter the center of chaos.

Unfortunately, Lan Xiaobu managed to take advantage of the time difference and, with the help of He Tong, swept away all the sacred rice.

"Let me send a message to the dung beetle."

Ding Huan took out the communication bead and told Zuo Shanyi that he would soon arrive in the world of gods.

Zuo Shanyi replied to the message very quickly; Ding Huan received the message in just a few breaths.

The message told Ding Huan that he had arrived at the outer edge of the chaotic center of the world of gods, and that something had happened at the center of the chaos, urging Ding Huan to come quickly.

Ding Huan put away the communication bead: "Let's rest here for a bit before we go over."

He was naturally in no hurry. If he went there as soon as he received the message, it would be the same as telling the dung beetle that he had been there for a long time.

“By the way, Ding Huan, you know He Yan, right? I saw that guy among the people being nailed,” Lan Xiaobu said.

“I know this person. He gave me a magical artifact that I have. I'll help him out when I get inside.”

If he didn't know, so be it; but knowing that He Yan was nailed to the center of chaos, Ding Huan couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

Lan Xiaobu strongly agreed with Ding Huan's words: "Yes, whether we save He Yan or not, Di Xin will definitely know once we enter the center of chaos."

"Are you so sure that the guy who nailed those powerful figures to the center of chaos was Dixin?" Mo Wuji asked.

"At the heart of chaos, besides Di Xin, who else could pin so many powerful beings to the void with Dao Nails?"

Lan Xiaobu trusted his own judgment.

Ding Huan looked at the Sacred Rice in his hand, which he had refined down to just some husks: "Is it possible to cultivate in the center of chaos and need Sacred Rice?"
Without this, the Great Dao is limited, which is why it is subject to the control of Di Xin?

Ding Huan did have some doubts.

According to Lan Xiaobu, the strength of Qinghe Shangsheng and Heda Shangsheng is no less than theirs, and hundreds of top experts have been pinned in the void.

If these people's strength is not limited, then Dixin's strength is too terrifying.

The key issue is that Dixin hasn't recovered yet. If Dixin had recovered, he wouldn't have let him and the dung beetle go in the first place.

“I also cultivated in it, and I didn’t feel anything was wrong,” Lan Xiaobu said immediately.

"Your Great Dao is not related to the cosmic source laws and the rules of heaven and earth at the center of chaos, or perhaps that's why you are not restricted."

Although Mo Wuji only guessed, he was very familiar with Lan Xiaobu's Dao.

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Instead of guessing here, let's go over there and talk about it."

The four slowed down and made their way to Zuo Shanyi's location at a leisurely pace.

Ye Xuan did not change his form, but simply concealed his cultivation at the eighth step of the Great Dao, and the flow of Daoist rhyme did not involve the aura of the source law.

Mo Wuji easily became a kind-hearted, chubby cultivator, while Lan Xiaobu easily became a slightly shrewd, dark-skinned, and thin cultivator.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu's cultivation levels were both between the seventh and eighth steps of the Great Dao.

That is, the kind of person who is about to break through to the eighth step of the Great Dao, but has not yet broken through.

"Everyone, remember this: although the four of us came together as a team, we each have our own calculations. When it comes to our own interests, we're the kind of people who won't hesitate to turn on each other."

The group agreed with Ding Huan's suggestion.

They had never come into contact with dung beetles.

Both Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu knew about the internet.

The fact that even communicating with such beings requires the dung beetle as the primary means of communication shows that this dung beetle is definitely not an ordinary creature.

When they appear to be on good terms but are actually at odds, the dung beetle will lower its guard a little.

Ding Huan and his three companions were delayed along the way. What should have been a journey of less than an hour took them three days to finally arrive at Zuo Shanyi's location.

"Brother Ding, I've been waiting for you for several days. And who are these gentlemen?" The moment Zuo Shanyi saw Ding Huan, his divine sense fell on Ye Xuan.

Of the four people including Ding Huan, only Ye Xuan has the strongest cultivation level besides Ding Huan.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "These are all my friends: Ye Xuan, Mo He, and Chang Sheng."

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
