After the myth

Chapter 1136 Go to Huo Shi Openly
Shen Dai is just a weak soul, and Huo Shi lives in the most central place of the first universe.

So when Shen Dai went to Huoshi Cave Mansion, he was scanned by countless people's spiritual thoughts along the way.

However, these divine thoughts moved away after sweeping over.

So much so that no one noticed the source attached to Shen Dai's wrist.

No one was surprised that Shen Dai had become a spiritual body.

It wouldn't be surprising if someone as worthless as Shen Dai were beaten to a pulp, let alone just his primordial spirit.

As for anyone who stood up for Shen Dai, not a single one did.

In the eyes of the powerful beings in the First Universe, Shen Dai was just a gatekeeper, and his presence or absence made no difference.

Mo Yuantian had naturally seen Shen Dai long ago.

He knew when Huo Shi went to kill Shen Dai.

Now that Shen Dai only has his primordial spirit body left, it's not surprising to him.

Shen Dai was reduced to a primordial spirit body by Huo Shi, yet he still took the initiative to seek out Huo Shi. Did this guy resent that Huo Shi hadn't completely killed him?
Mo Yuantian understood what was going on after a moment's thought.

Shen Dai had nowhere to go.

Shen Dai's physical body was destroyed by Huo Shi, which means that Shen Dai's second physical body also disappeared.

If Shen Dai wants to survive, he has no choice but to find Huo Shi, or he will have to leave the First Universe.

Shen Dai probably knows in his heart that after leaving the First Universe, he will be nothing.

There are plenty of people who want to do his job as a gatekeeper.

Moreover, with Huo Shi watching over him, it won't be so easy for Shen Dai to leave the First Universe.

Shen Dai realized that he could only beg Huo Shi to show leniency so that he could survive in the First Universe.

Mo Yuantian knew that Huo Shi had killed Shen Dai, but he didn't know that Huo Shi was actually not monitoring Shen Dai now.

Because his Great Dao Divine Power, the Soul Splitting Dao, has now reached its most critical moment.

Ding Huan had never seen such a supernatural power as the Soul Splitting Path.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were also unaware of this.

If they had known, the three of them wouldn't have needed to construct a principle world for Ye Xuan; directly using the method of splitting the Dao Soul would have been more convenient and safer.

When Shen Dai arrived openly outside Huo Shi Cave, no Daoist thought came to stop him.

But Huo Shi didn't stop him, which made Shen Dai a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, Huo Shi wouldn't have let him come over openly. Is something wrong with this guy?

Ding Huan had already been observing the Source Principle Realm and various Source Principle Restrictions outside Huo Shi Cave.

The moment Ding Huan's thoughts came into contact with these source-law restrictions, his heart tightened.

The arrangement of this Source Realm is very clever. Could it be that my guess was wrong, and Huo Shi is also a powerful figure?
However, Ding Huan soon discovered the problem: those sophisticated source-level restrictions were merely warnings.

Under normal circumstances, upon sensing this source-based restriction, one will typically withdraw their divine sense.

Otherwise, it would mean becoming mortal enemies with Huo Shi.

Ding Huan naturally lacked this awareness, and his divine sense carefully bypassed these source-law restrictions.

When Ding Huan touched the new Source Realm again, he immediately realized that the Source Realm outside Huo Shi Cave was indeed inferior to the Uncorrupted Realm.

This method of arranging the source-level boundary is not much better than his.

No, it's simply not as good as his methods.

The outer layer of warning sources was not set up by Huo Shi.

"Brother Ding, what should I do?" Shen Dai had not received any prompting from Ding Huan, so he could only cautiously ask using his Daoist thoughts.

"Immediately knock on the barrier, and the moment you see Huo Shi, utter the words 'Vast Stone,' without pausing for even a moment. And say it loudly..."

Ding Huan's telepathic transmission was completed almost instantly, and then he disappeared without a trace.

After seeing that the Source Realm outside Huo Shi Cave was not as eroded as before, Ding Huan felt even more certain that his guess was correct.

However, it's still necessary to be cautious.

Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Shen Dai immediately activated the restriction and shouted, "Lord Huo, your humble servant Shen Dai has come to apologize and present gifts as compensation."

Inside Huo Shi's cave, his primordial spirit floated behind him, its entire source of Dao patterns crisscrossing, various profound Dao auras enveloping his primordial spirit as if trying to tear it apart.

As the tearing and suppression of his primordial spirit grew stronger, Huo Shi felt increasingly uneasy.

He suspected that before he could even unleash this supernatural power, his physical body and primordial spirit would collapse.

As for the foundation of the Great Dao, it will be completely destroyed.

Just as he was filled with unease, he heard Shen Dai's voice.

Not only that, Shen Dai also said he sent an apology gift.

This delighted Huo Shi, who knew he was saved.

What Shen Dai sent must have been a vast and magnificent stone.

Huo Shi rushed out of the cave and saw Shen Dai's weak primordial spirit standing outside his cave.

Huo Shi was not surprised that Shen Dai was unharmed.

It would be strange if he could kill someone with such a vast and powerful stone.

Upon seeing Huo Shi, Shen Dai quickly bowed and said, "Lord Huo, I was ignorant and offended you before. I have come here today to apologize."

To express my apology, I offer you the vast Tai Shi…

Upon hearing Shen Dai mention the Vast Great Stone, Huo Shi's expression changed. He didn't even wait for Shen Dai to finish speaking before laughing and saying, "Lord Shen, you're too kind. Please come in and have a chat."

After speaking, Daoist chanting shifted, carrying Shen Dai's primordial spirit into the cave, making it appear as if Shen Dai had entered on his own.

At this moment, the restrictions on Huo Shi's cave were reapplied.

Huo Shi hadn't given Shen Dai the ability to walk on his own. Enveloped in his Daoist aura, Shen Dai swiftly passed through several more realm-specific restrictions, arriving at his secluded cave. Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was right; Huo Shi was an imposter, a Second Realm Lord.

This guy's cultivation level does indeed appear to be at the ninth step of the Great Dao, but Ding Huan suspects that the other party only appears to be at the ninth step.

He transformed into a source on Shen Dai's primordial spirit's wrist. If Huo Shi were truly strong, he would have discovered his existence long ago.

In fact, Huo Shi has not discovered it at all so far.

Shen Dai, who was originally uneasy, also felt that Huo Shi was somewhat unworthy of his reputation.

It's unrealistic to say that Huo Shi didn't discover Ding Huan.

Knowing that Huo Shi was a fake expert, Ding Huan directly set up a Source Realm in Huo Shi's cave.

Huo Shi's cave dwelling is very impressive.

Not to mention Shen Dai's cave dwelling, even Dou Ling's cave dwelling cannot compare to Huo Shi's cave dwelling in terms of grandeur.

The main hall of Huoshi Cave is surrounded by vast stones, which not only allow people to clearly perceive the primordial laws of heaven and earth at the beginning of creation, but also help to condense the primordial spirit.

As for the cosmic primordial veins, even without Ding Huan using his divine sense to observe them, he could still sense that the entire cave hall was surrounded by primordial veins.

Even before cultivation began, the extremely dense primordial energy filled the entire space.

Indeed, there is a cosmic primordial mountain in Huo Shi's cave.

Ding Huan had always wanted to get his hands on the Cosmic Yuanmai Mountain, but this was the first time he had ever seen it.

What puzzled Ding Huan was that Huo Shi's Cosmic Yuanmai Mountain seemed to be enveloped by the Yuanze Restriction.

What is this doing?
The cosmic primordial mountain in his own cave was shrouded in a restriction. Was he not planning to use it, or was he just keeping it as a watch?
No, there's something wrong with Huo Shi's aura.

Ding Huan immediately sensed that Huo Shi's primordial spirit fluctuations were extremely unstable. It seemed that this guy had just been cutting off his own primordial spirit.
Regardless of the reason, severing one's own primordial spirit is an extremely dangerous act.

In this situation, Huo Shi still went to bring Shen Dai in, which truly shows how desperately Huo Shi needed the Vast Stone.

"Shen Dai, where is the Vast Stone?"

As expected, Huo Shi left Shen Dai in the cave and ignored everything else, immediately asking Hao Han Tai Shi a question.

It seemed that once Shen Dai entered his cave, he was like a fish on a chopping board.

Therefore, Huo Shilian did not add the forbidden pattern to Shen Dai.

Shen Dai took a few steps back and looked at Huo Shi: "Lord Huo, I have brought the Vast Primordial Stone. I want to ask you, did you kill me for no reason? Was it really because of the Vast Primordial Stone?"

Huo Shi was startled; this didn't make sense.

Under these circumstances, how dare Shen Dai ask such a reckless question in such a tone?

Did Shen Dai come here not to live, but to die?

He raised his hand and added another layer of source restriction to the cave, then stared at Shen Dai: "Lord Shen, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

"If you didn't know I wanted the Vast Primordial Stone, why did you bring it here?"

Shen Dai seemed unafraid: "Lord Huo, tell me why you need the Vast Great Stone?"

Even if Huo Shi were an idiot, he would know that Shen Dai hadn't really come to apologize and give away the Vast Stone.

Shen Dai was shouting about the Vast Great Stone outside his cave, clearly wanting everyone to know about it.

Huo Shi took a deep breath, and his Great Dao Domain swept towards Shen Dai: "Shen Dai, do you think I can't kill you?"

Shen Dai's tone remained calm: "Huo Shi, even if you can kill me, I guarantee you won't be able to take the Vast Stone."

After saying this, Shen Dai stared at Huo Shi.

If Huo Shi really is the second strongest in the first universe, then he could easily tear apart his world.

Huo Shi fell silent after hearing Shen Dai's words.

Shen Dai was filled with emotion; Huo Shi was indeed unable to break through his Great Dao World.

It's no wonder Ding Huan could easily manipulate him.

In all his years in the First Universe, he still couldn't see that Huo Shi was a fake powerhouse.

Ding Huan immediately saw the difference between Huo Shi and Bu Shi upon arriving here; that was the key.

Seeing Huo Shi remain silent, Shen Dai spoke quite decisively:
"You want to strip away the bloodline Dao imprint on your body, right? If you have the Vast Dao Stone, it can not only protect your Dao body but also your primordial spirit."

Otherwise, you might end up losing your soul and body if you're not careful.

Let me guess who placed a Daoist mark on you...

"Is it 'non-corrosion'? On the surface, 'non-corrosion' is just your sycophant; in reality, you're the sycophant of 'non-corrosion,' aren't you?"

Shen Dai felt increasingly relieved as he spoke.

He felt that Ding Huan's creation of the term "lackey" was a perfect fit for Huo Shi.

"you……"

Huo Shi's expression changed drastically.

Before he could speak, he felt a powerful Dao domain lock down the space where he was.

The next moment, the aura of death pressed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

This is absolutely not something Shen Dai could do.

"who is it?"

Ding Huan's figure appeared, and he looked at Huo Shi with a smile: "It's your Grandpa Ding."

"Shen Dai, how dare you collude with outsiders..."

Huo Shi immediately understood that Shen Dai dared to come here because he had brought people with him.

Unfortunately, his Soul-Splitting Technique had already damaged his primordial spirit, so he was now unable to launch a strong counterattack against Ding Huan.
