After the myth

Chapter 1161 The mysterious senior
Ding Huan originally planned to leave, but since Ku Baizhen came, he also wanted to see what Ku Baizhen's strength was.

Shen Dai looked at Ding Huan. Although some things were not said explicitly, everyone actually knew them.

Ding Huan and Mo Yuantian and others have been enemies for a long time. Ku Baizhen is the master of the eighth realm, and he is Mo Yuantian's lackey.

He was worried that Ding Huan would be unhappy if he saw Ku Baizhen.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "I've heard of this Eighth Realm Lord before. Why don't we let him in to meet me?"

Shen Dai then activated the cave's protective barrier.

Soon, a tall, thin man walked in.

After entering, the man only glanced at Ding Huan and Qu Yi before turning his attention away. Instead, he bowed to Shang and said, "Ku Baizhen greets Brother Shang."

After bowing, he greeted Shen Dai, saying, "Lord Shen, please forgive my sudden visit."

"Lord of the Bitter Realm, you flatter me. You are welcome to come here anytime."

Shen Dai, being of low status, knew very well that Ku Baizhen had come here not to see him, but to see Entropy.

After sitting down again, Entropy took the initiative to speak: "Lord of the Bitter Realm, you seem to be preoccupied. Is there something you need here?"

Ku Baizhen had just sat down when he heard this and stood up again: "Please, Brother Shang, save me."

Entropy stopped Ku Baizhen: "We are all the Lords of the First Universe, which is equivalent to the bond between brothers. If Brother Ku is in trouble, I will definitely lend a helping hand."

Ku Baizhen said in grief and indignation, "Lord Mo ordered me to guard the Eight-Town Canyon. With my limited strength, if I go to the Eight-Town Canyon, won't I have no chance of survival? Lord Mo is trying to kill me!"

Entropy was also a little puzzled: "Wait, Brother Ku, wasn't the Eight Valleys sealed away after Ji Yijian disappeared? Why do we need you to guard the Eight Valleys?"

Ku Baizhen shook his head: "I heard that it wasn't sealed, or rather, the seal was sealed for too long, and it broke. The source of all miasma in the Eight Valleys has erupted, and no one can hold it off."

With my limited strength, going to the Eight-Town Canyon would be no different from courting death. I merely stated that I could not protect the Eight-Town Canyon, and the Cosmic Origin Mountain in my cave was confiscated…”

The more Ku Baizhen talked, the more upset she became.

Why?

Ding Huan couldn't hold back any longer and interjected, "What is the source of all miasma?"

He had previously wondered why the dojo of Wu Dao, one of the three paths, was located outside Jiu Gai, while the Eight Valleys needed someone to guard it.

Ku Baizhen looked at Ding Huan in surprise.

As soon as he entered, he noticed that Ding Huan's strength was very low, probably only at the eighth step of the Great Dao.

As for Qu Yi, her strength is negligible.

Therefore, he didn't take Ding Huan and Qu Yi seriously and didn't mention them when he greeted them.

As a realm lord of the first universe, even the eighth realm lord is a high and mighty existence.

In their eyes, life in other universes is as insignificant as ants under their feet.

The moment he saw Ding Huan and Qu Yi, he knew that these two were not cultivators from the First Universe, but from an outer universe.

But the fact that Ding Huan dared to speak up while they were talking suggests that he had probably misjudged them.

He dared not use his divine sense to scan Ding Huan, but instead focused his gaze on Ding Huan, carefully sensing Ding Huan's cultivation level in the Great Dao.

It really is the eighth step of the Great Dao? And it really does come from outer space...

How is this going?

What surprised Ku Baizhen even more was that Entropy actually gave a serious explanation:

"At the beginning of the vast universe, besides the boundless primordial energy, the vast primordial principles, the initial laws of the universe, and the infinite laws of the Great Dao, there was also..."

There are also endless abandoned source laws, endless miasma source laws, and the Great Dao source laws rejected by the universe...

These things are detrimental to the cultivation of the Great Dao. Once they infiltrate the vast universe, they will have countless negative effects on cultivators.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the creation of the vast universe, these abandoned sources that accompanied the creation of the vast universe were sealed in the Eight Valleys of the First Universe.

Because it's within the First Universe, someone needs to guard it to prevent spillover. Initially, it was Ji Yijian, the Tenth Realm Lord, who volunteered to guard the Eight-Town Canyon.

Ji Yijian's mission is to continuously repair the sealed boundary and prevent any trace of the Myriad Miasma Source from seeping into the First Universe.

After Ji Yijian disappeared, the First Realm Lord, Mo Yuantian, invited Che Bu, one of the Five Ancestors. With the help of Dao Ancestor Che Bu, the other eight Realm Lords joined forces to seal the Eight Valleys.

Even if this seal malfunctions, it can be repaired in the future as long as all eight realm lords work together.

Shen Dai's face showed a self-deprecating smile, clearly indicating that the eight realm lords mentioned by Entropy did not include him, a useless realm lord.

Ding Huan realized that the seal of the Eight Valleys, which could have been repaired, could no longer be repaired because the Sixth Realm Lord, Dou Ling, had been killed by him.

Since it cannot be repaired, someone needs to stay and guard it year-round.

Those who guard the seal of the Eight Peaks Canyon need to constantly repair and maintain it.

Putting aside the danger, this job is exhausting; there's absolutely no time to rest.

No wonder Ku Baizhen was unwilling to go to the Eight-Town Canyon. If he went there, his Dao foundation would be corroded by the abandoned source, and he would be exhausted to death.

Ding Huan suddenly thought of something: since Mo Yuantian wanted Ku Baizhen to guard the Eight Gorges, how could Ku Baizhen be allowed to move around freely?

Why would they even come here to ask for help from entropy?

If Ku Baizhen truly had that level of freedom, then it would be possible for Ku Baizhen to escape from the First Universe.

It is obvious that Ku Baizhen was able to come here because Mo Yuantian deliberately allowed it.

Having nowhere else to turn for help, Ku Baizhen could only turn to Shang and Shen Dai.

Mo Yuantian was trying to set a trap for Entropy. He was clearly unhappy with Entropy's double-dealing and was preparing to teach Entropy a lesson.

This has nothing to do with him; it's the first time he's met Entropy.

When Entropy first sensed that his cultivation was weak, he even felt murderous intent.

Ding Huan was extremely sensitive to changes in the laws of heaven and earth; he could sense even the slightest hint of killing intent emanating from Entropy. Since everyone hadn't yet cooperated...

He has no obligation to help entropy risk its life.

Let's go, let's go quickly.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan stood up: "Fellow Daoist Entropy, Fellow Daoist Shen..."

Before Ding Huan could finish saying goodbye, the protective barrier outside Shen Dai's cave was blasted open.

Ding Huan sighed. It was still a little too late; these guys arrived so quickly.

He changed the subject and said, "It seems there are some unfriendly people outside. I was just about to make a move. Why don't you two go and take a look?"

Before they even had to leave, three figures had already landed outside Shen Dai's cave.

When Ding Huan and his group came out, there were already four people standing outside.

The four people stood at opposite corners, almost completely sealing off the space.

Ding Huan didn't recognize the others, but he recognized Kui Feng at first glance.

He had never met Kui Feng before. This guy had grabbed him with a Dao handprint, and the fluctuations of that Dao source law could not escape his perception.

Entropy didn't speak; he knew he'd been tricked.

This is just an excuse to teach him a lesson.

Ku Baizhen is such an idiot.

Shen Dai, being the host here, immediately bowed and said, "Shen Dai greets Lord Qu Ba, Lord Kui Feng, and Lord Zuo Yang."

Four people arrived, but Shen Dai only greeted three of them.

The purpose of greeting him was also to introduce him to Ding Huan.

There was one more person, and Ding Huan knew without asking that it was Bu Shi.

This guy used Huo Shi as a puppet while he hid behind the scenes. Now that Huo Shi has been exposed, Bu Shi has been revealed.

The fact that Bu Shi Neng is here now shows that he doesn't want to lose his status as the Realm Lord and has already compromised with Mo Yuantian.

Isn't that Kui Feng a cunning person? How come he would listen to Mo Yuantian and come here?

However, Mo Yuantian himself did not show up.

"Lord Entropy, Lord Shen. Ku Baizhen betrayed the agreement between the Lords of the First Universe and fled on his own. You bear some responsibility for taking him in."

Now, everyone, let's go to Wanmai Lake. If you have any issues, you can discuss them with Lord Mo yourselves.

Zuo Yang's voice was icy; his words were clearly just a prelude to taking action.

Unless they were fools, neither Entropy nor Shen Dai would follow these people to Wanmai Lake.

If Entropy and Shen Dai raise even the slightest objection, these four guys will seize the opportunity to attack together and take them down.

Ding Huan remained silent.

He wasn't worried; even if they took action, he could still leave with Qu Yi.

Entropy's divine sense landed on Ding Huan, and after sensing Ding Huan's calm and fearless demeanor, he roughly understood the situation.

Today, he has to choose sides. Mo Yuantian has become suspicious of him, and even if he doesn't take action, he probably won't have a good time when he goes back.

He has no plans to return to Wanmai Lake since the last Wanmai Lake Conference.

Ding Huan's calm demeanor indicates that he is ready to take action.

Since that's the case, we might as well just make things simpler.

Thinking of this, Entropy calmly said, "I am the fifth realm master of the first universe, Ku Baizhen is the eighth realm master of the first realm master, and Shen Dai is the ninth realm master."

"Brother Ku came to find me and Shen Dai to discuss the Great Dao. This is a matter between realm lords. What's the problem?"

“I didn’t say you had any problems. It’s just that this matter needs to be decided by the Lord of the Mo Realm. You just need to come back to Wanmai Lake with us,” Bu Shi couldn’t help but say from the side.

Shen Dai sneered, "This is where the realm lords talk. What right do you, a mere servant, have to interrupt?"

Bu Shi's face turned ashen with anger. However, the second realm master had not yet been decided, and even if a second realm master were to be decided, it would have to go through Shang and Shen Dai and others.

He really has no right to speak now.

Kui Feng snorted: "Whatever the truth, just go back to Wanmai Lake. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ding Huan suddenly stepped forward and snorted coldly, "Send Mo Yuantian to see me."

Kui Feng and the others were startled by Ding Huan's attitude and tone. What madman?
After realizing what was happening, Qu Ba angrily shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in the First Universe?"

Entropy roared, "How dare you be disrespectful to a senior?"

He hadn't figured out what Ding Huan's surname was, nor did he understand what Ding Huan meant.

Ding Huan laughed and reached out to grab Si Wu's Great Dao Eye: "There was someone who was so arrogant in front of me before, but I gouged out his eyes."

"You're the second guy who dares to be so arrogant in front of me. So, tell me, what's your name?"

Ordinary people may not be able to see anything when they look at the great Dao.

But who among us is an ordinary person?

In their eyes, the vast aura of primordial spirit and the aura of creation emanating from the Eye of the Great Dao could not be concealed at all.

“Si Wu…” Even Kui Feng, who always liked to pretend, showed fear in his eyes.

He casually gouged out the eyes of Si Wu, one of the Five Ancestors. Who is this person?
(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
