After the myth

Chapter 1159: Entropy
Ding Huan was very satisfied when he heard Ji Yijian's oath.

This is the oath of the Great Dao that points directly to one's true heart, indicating that the direction of the Dao Jian that Ji Yijian took out is real.

Ding Huan put away Ji Yijian's Dao Jian, and then handed Di Xin's small half Dao body to Ji Yijian:
"Friend Ji, our friendship is not as good as the oath we swore. You can take this body first, but I'm sure Di Xin will not let me go.

"Don't worry, even if I'm captured by Di Xin, I won't tell him that I gave you my Dao Body."

Ji Yijian inwardly despised Ding Huan, but he was still extremely excited in the face of Di Xin's Dao body.

This is what he truly desires.

As for what Ding Huan said, isn't that obvious?
If Dixin releases Ding Huan, then Ji Yijian is blind.

For Di Xin, the remaining half of his Dao body was the key to taking the ninth step of the Great Dao.

Now that Di Xin has been tricked by Ding Huan and lost half of his Dao body, he will definitely look for an opportunity to kill Ding Huan and retrieve his Dao body.

Dixin himself probably doesn't have the strength, but this guy will ask others for help.

Dixin was, after all, a top-tier powerhouse who emerged during the creation of the vast world, and he still had some friends.

He hadn't originally planned to remind Ding Huan of this, but since Ding Huan had thought of it himself and even used it to do him a favor, he felt he had no choice but to speak up.
“Brother Ding, that’s exactly what I wanted to say. There’s a good chance that Di Xin will come looking for you, so you should be careful. Since the matter of dealing with Si Wu has been postponed, I will also go into seclusion for a while.”

After exchanging communication beads, the two reluctantly parted ways.

At least on the surface, both of them were very reluctant to part.

"Big brother, will that guy really come looking for us?" Qu Yi asked with some concern after Ji Yijian left.

Ding Huan was able to severely injure Di Xin entirely because of a sneak attack.

If Dixin recovers and comes looking for Ding Huan again, it's hard to predict what the outcome will be.

"Don't worry, I severely injured that guy. Even if he wants to come looking for me, he definitely won't dare to come alone."

"Once I go into seclusion in the vast Yuanmai River for a while, and I've already reached the ninth step of the Great Dao, I'm not afraid this guy won't come."

Qu Yi knew that his presence by Ding Huan's side would be of no use to Ding Huan and would only hinder Ding Huan's progress toward the ninth step of the Great Dao.

Ding Huan is about to break through to the ninth step of the Great Dao, so there can be no other person in that vast Yuanmai River, and she cannot stay in Ding Huan's Great Dao world.

If Dixin were to come looking for her, she would only be a hindrance.

Although she really didn't want to be separated from Ding Huan, Qu Yi knew that she had to leave first.

Thinking of this, Qu Yi simply said, "Can I leave the First Universe first to find Nian Huan, and then come find me after you have stepped into the ninth step of the Great Dao?"

Ding Huan was not surprised by Qu Yi's suggestion.

He was about to go to the vast Yuanmai River to attempt the ninth step of the Great Dao. Qu Yi could only wait by his side, which was indeed meaningless to her.

When he was cultivating in the Void Algae, before he had even reached the ninth step of the Great Dao, Qu Yi's presence in his Great Dao World began to influence him.

Once he reaches the ninth step of the Great Dao, Qu Yi will definitely not be able to stay in his Great Dao World, or even in the vast Yuanmai River.

With Qu Yi's current strength, the vast Yuanmai River is completely useless to her.

Normally, it would be better if Qu Yi stayed by his side to keep him company.

He has offended too many people now, and he still needs to break through to the ninth step of the Great Dao. It's good that Qu Yi left the First Universe.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan took out a Five Elements World and handed it to Qu Yi:

"When you took the seventh step of your path to enlightenment, you used the vast primordial energy and comprehended the fundamental principles of the universe. Therefore, for the eighth step of your path to enlightenment, you only need the primordial energy of the universe."

There are two magical treasures here: the Tower of Inquiry and the Great Dao Whip. The Tower of Inquiry is the one that trapped you before; you can use it however you want after refining it. The Great Dao Whip is an offensive magical treasure.

If the Tower of Inquiry is a support and defensive magic weapon, then so be it.

The Great Dao Whip is no ordinary weapon; it is Dou Ling's offensive magic weapon.

Dou Ling had already been killed by him, so Ding Huan dared to take this thing out and give it to Qu Yi.

If Dou Ling were still alive, Ding Huan would not dare to let Qu Yi use the Great Dao Whip.

"Be careful. I'll wait for you after I find Nianhuan outside."

Qu Yi took the things, feeling very reluctant to part with them.

She and Ding Huan had been separated for so long, and they had only just met again when they had to part ways again.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "You don't need to look for Nian Huan. We have a place. Nian Huan will definitely be there. Even if she's not there for the time being, she'll go back."

"where is it?"

Qu Yi looked at Ding Huan with surprise. If there was a place, Ding Huan could go back to her at any time as long as he stepped into the ninth step.

She wouldn't have had to wander around like before, and almost stay in Tongti Star Continent forever.

"There's a place called Blue Star Island, on the outskirts of the world of gods. I won't let you go back alone; I'll take you back with me."

Although Qu Yi is strong, he is still not as strong as he was when he was at the seventh step of the Great Dao.

The journey from the First Universe to Blue Star Island is no short one, so Ding Huan naturally wouldn't let Qu Yi take any risks.

He had a feeling that all the monsters and demons that had emerged during the creation of the vast world were gradually appearing, and it was clear that a new order was about to be drawn up beneath the vastness.

As Ding Huan has cultivated for so long, he has vaguely sensed a very clear pattern.

He wasn't sure how the division had been done before, but this time Ding Huan was going to join in.

It is absolutely impossible for him to still have the One Yuan, Three Daos, and Five Ancestors above him, and it is even more impossible for his universe to become a plaything universe of the Ten Directions Realm Lord.

"Returning to the world of the gods from the first universe must be quite a distance, right? Won't that take up a lot of your time?"

Qu Yi also longed for Ding Huan to reach the ninth step of the Great Dao as soon as possible. How long had it been since she and Ding Huan left the Void Algae? They had already encountered the incredibly powerful Ji Yijian, as well as the powerful ambush attacker, Di Xin.

Although she didn't participate in Ding Huan and Ji Yijian's conversation, she could still glean from it that neither Di Xin nor Ji Yijian could be considered top-tier experts.

Even when Si Wu was seriously injured, it took several people working together to launch a sneak attack.

This shows that there are countless powerful beings in this advanced universe; they just haven't appeared yet.

Therefore, she also hoped that Ding Huan would improve his strength as soon as possible.

What if a top-tier expert comes along?

Ding Huan shook his head: "No, I didn't want to expose my secret when I was with Ji Yijian. Now that he's gone, we can teleport."

In the first universe, Ding Huan had set up countless teleportation source realms.

As long as he keeps teleporting, he can teleport to the location where he enters the first universe.

Ji Yijian is from the First Universe, and his origins are unknown. Ding Huan only recently learned that this guy is also a Realm Lord.

Regardless of whether Ji Yijian is the Realm Lord or not, Ding Huan will not tell Ji Yijian his teleportation point.

Now that Ji Yijian is gone, he naturally has no more reservations.

……

Despite the numerous teleportation arrays, it was still eleven years before Ding Huan brought Qu Yi to Shen Dai's cave dwelling.

The fifth realm master of the first universe, Entropy, had always wanted to meet him and, through Shen Dai, wanted to form an alliance with him.

Ding Huan was unwilling to come before because he felt that his strength was too weak and he probably wouldn't even be able to fight back against Entropy.

He doesn't know if he can beat Entropy now, but he's not without the ability to fight back.

He had witnessed Ji Yijian's strength and knew that it was impossible for him to crush him.

"Brother Ding, I've been waiting for you. Seeing you again, I'm truly..."

Shen Dai was overjoyed to see Ding Huan approaching.

He was overjoyed. Now he was bound to Ding Huan and had no choice but to rely on him.

Entropy had been cultivating in seclusion with him, and Shen Dai knew very well that Entropy had high hopes for Ding Huan and believed that Ding Huan was destined for greatness.

That's why I stayed here to cultivate in seclusion, and also to protect him.

If Ding Huan doesn't come, Entropy might leave.

Once Entropy leaves his cave, Shen Dai suspects he will soon be killed in his own cave.

"I was stuck in one place because of some things, and I only recently got out..."

As Ding Huan spoke, his gaze fell on Entropy, who was standing next to Shen Dai: "This should be Fellow Daoist Entropy, the Lord of the Fifth Realm."

In fact, from the moment Ding Huan arrived, Entropy's gaze never left Ding Huan.
The more he looked at Ding Huan, the more shocked he became.

Did he see it wrong?

Ding Huan did not step into the ninth step.

Since Ding Huan hasn't even reached the ninth step, why is he so confident to come here?
Aren't you afraid that you'll just raise your hand and kill him?

Despite his inner doubts, Entropy still wore a look of surprise and delight: "I have been waiting for Brother Ding for many years. Meeting you today, Brother Ding is indeed worthy of your reputation."

Ding Huan also remarked with emotion:
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shang, for securing me a position as a Realm Lord. After receiving Fellow Daoist Shen's message, I had long wanted to meet Fellow Daoist Shang, but I had no way to leave until recently when I finally had the opportunity to escape."

I came here as soon as I got away.

Shen Dai quickly said, "Let's go inside and talk about it."

Ding Huan did not introduce Qu Yi, and Shang and Shen Dai also tactfully refrained from asking.

Upon entering Shen Dai's cave dwelling, Ding Huan knew that Entropy must be extremely wealthy.

Shen Dai's cave dwelling area was once again filled with cosmic primordial veins.

Shen Dai probably doesn't even have half a primordial vein. The fact that there are so many primordial veins here must be from Entropy.

The fact that Entropy could give Shen Dai so many cosmic essences means that this guy must have even more cosmic essences.

Even though Entropy could remain calm, after the group sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ding, you've been in seclusion for so long this time, have you gained anything?"

Shen Dai was taken aback, then turned to Entropy and said, "Brother Entropy, Brother Ding's seclusion period was not long, only about 100,000 years."

Entropy chuckled inwardly. Shen Dai was a good-for-nothing, but he was far from being one.

If Ding Huan dared to come here to see him before even reaching the ninth step of the Great Dao, it means his previous view was wrong.

Such a foolish fellow, if he were to form an alliance with him, he would only hasten his own demise.

He would kill Ding Huan without hesitation and then turn around and leave.

Shen Dai didn't know what entropy meant, but Ding Huan knew perfectly well. He was only there to form an alliance with entropy, and he didn't have time to waste here.

Hearing what Entropy said, he simply said, "The harvest was so-so. I even got trapped by accident, and when I came out, I ran into Dixin."

I was already in a bad mood, and then that idiot Dixin tried to sabotage me, so I just taught him a lesson and cut off half of his body.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
