After the myth

Chapter 1172 Difficulty Crossing Jiu Gahan

"First, set up various teleportation source arrays and teleportation boundaries, just in case they are needed in the future. Moreover, after we enter Jiugaihan, we must continue to set up various teleportation arrays.

After all, we have never encountered or entered this kind of vast void. If anything happens, we might be able to rely on the previously arranged transmission source to escape."

Mo Wuji thought more carefully. Regardless of whether their teleportation source array pattern could be used, it was better to have it than not.

After setting up the teleportation source, Lan Xiaobu controlled the Seven Realms Stone to rush into the Nine Realms.

The three had a good plan: once the Seven Realms Stone entered the Nine Realms Vast Ocean, each of them would control one side and work together to enhance the Seven Realms Stone.

However, as soon as the Seven Realms Stone entered the Nine Gaihan, not only Lan Xiaobu, but also Ding Huan and Mo Wuji felt that the Seven Realms Stone was sinking madly.

In the blink of an eye, the Seven Realms Stone disappeared into the Vast Water.

No matter how much the three of them joined forces to enhance it, the Seven Realms Stone simply couldn't stop its downward trend.

Lan Xiaobu chose to enter Jiu Gaihan from a body of water, and at this rate of sinking, it seemed as if Jiu Gaihan had no bottom at all.

Moreover, the deeper the Seven Realms Stone sank, the stronger the oppressive force felt by the three of them became.

Just like an ordinary person being crushed and suffocated by immense pressure when entering the deep sea, the suffocation experienced by Lan Xiaobu, Mo Wuji, and Ding Huan became increasingly terrifying.

It was as if the entire vast universe was pressing down on them, and this pressure, as immense as the Seven Realms Stone, was increasing as it continued to sink.

Even if they were at the eighth step of the Great Dao, or even at the ninth step, they probably couldn't withstand such terrifying pressure.

If this continues, all three of them will inevitably be reduced to dust.

“Ding Huan, Xiao Bu, let’s split up quickly… The Seven Realms Stone can’t carry the three of us through the Nine Gaihan… If we can get through the Nine Gaihan… we’ll wait for each other inside the Nine Gaihan for 100,000 years…”

After saying these words, Mo Wuji rushed out of the Seven Realms Stone.

If he continued, he wouldn't be able to utter a single word, and he wouldn't even be able to escape the Seven Realms Stone.

Ding Huan rushed out from another direction at almost the same time.

Lan Xiaobu also put away the Seven Realms Stone and then desperately constructed his own Longevity Dao Space.

He was under the most pressure just now because the Seven Realms Stone belonged to him.

Now that Ding Huan and Mo Wuji have left, he put away the Seven Realms Stones and constructed his own Longevity Source Law Space, which has only slightly eased the situation.

Once Ding Huan left the Seven Realms Stone, the extreme pressure lessened considerably, but he was still sinking madly.

Ding Huan knew that if he couldn't come up with a solution soon, he would still be crushed into dust.

He never imagined that even after cultivating to the pinnacle of the universe and stepping into the eighth stage of the Great Dao, he would one day be fatally squeezed by the pressure of water.

Ding Huan constructed a void network at top speed.

But deep within the vast expanse of the Nine Gai River, his divine sense could only circulate around him and could not extend any further.

Even so, he still managed to construct a void network.

As soon as the Void Dao Network was constructed, and with the formation of the first Great Universe Technique, Ding Huan felt the pressure around him ease.

He frantically tried to escape upwards.

As he continued upwards, Ding Huan felt the pressure around him lessen, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A sweep of divine sense can only cover a radius of one zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) around it.

This was much better than before, when his divine sense could only circulate around him. He continued upwards, and his divine sense continued to expand.

Indeed, sometimes more people don't necessarily mean greater strength.

If he, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu had separated and entered Jiu Gai Han from the beginning, they wouldn't have almost lost their lives deep within Jiu Gai Han.

More than ten days later, Ding Huan finally emerged from the depths of the Jiugai Han River and stood on its surface.

Although his divine sense was still limited within the Nine Gaihan, it could now sweep across tens of thousands of miles. The area within his divine sense was entirely covered in the vast waters of the Nine Gaihan; there was nothing else there.

Sometimes the wind in the Nine Gaihan Mountains can only reach a certain area, and there is not a single source of wind above the Han River where Ding Huan is currently located.

The vast expanse of water within the range of divine sense was like a mirror, so smooth that it gave people a sense of unreality and gloom.

Ding Huan stood alone above the vast, tranquil Han River, feeling somewhat out of place amidst the rest of the Jiu Gai Han.

There was no sound in this place; Ding Huan could even hear the flow of his own blood.

Standing alone in the middle of the mirror-like water, I felt an extreme sense of loneliness.

Ding Huan took a deep breath. Having cultivated for so long, he would not be swayed by such loneliness.

But he knew very well that he had to figure out his location, otherwise it was not impossible for him to be trapped in the Nine Gaihan for tens of millions of years.

Rumor has it that the Nine Gaihan is in the shape of a ring, and what he needs to do now is to pass through this ring and enter the void area in the middle of the Nine Gaihan.

Instead of getting trapped in the circle of Jiu Gai Han.

However, Ding Huan and his two companions had studied the location of Jiu Gai Han before entering it.

They had been cultivating in the First Universe for quite some time and were extremely sensitive to the cosmic principles of the First Universe.

As long as you proceed along the direction where the First Universe Source becomes increasingly sparse, that is the correct direction.

Because Jiu Gaihan's ultimate goal is to leave the first universe.

Ding Huan was not entirely familiar with the origins of the First Universe, but he was certainly very sensitive to them.

So he quickly found the right direction and continued forward.

To travel through the Nine Heavens, one must not use flying magic items.

Ding Huan knew that if he really couldn't use a flying magic weapon, it would definitely be very difficult.

He had to come up with a way to use a flying artifact.

Otherwise, who knows how many years he would fly in the Nine Heavens?
Maybe it will be ten thousand years, maybe it will be a hundred thousand years.

But it could never be less than ten thousand years. They would spend ten thousand years flying through the Nine Gaihan, while constantly guarding against being swept into the depths of the Nine Gaihan.

It's too tiring without a flying magic weapon.

Even if he is currently at the eighth step of the Great Dao, once he escapes the Nine Vast Ocean, he will probably be nothing but skin and bones.

Ding Huan knew that bringing out the cosmic cauldron would definitely not work.

If the cosmic pot had worked, then the three of them wouldn't have been swept into the depths of the Nine Heavens along with the Seven Realms Stone.

He needs to forge a magical artifact that can block the suction force of the Nine Heavens Vast Water.

Then we must first thoroughly study the cosmic principles of the Nine Gaihan space, as well as the changes between various cosmic principles.

At this moment, Ding Huan was glad that he had thought of the method of constructing the void network early on.

The Void Dao Network may not be of much use when you reach the ninth step of enlightenment, but it is quite useful here.

Ding Huan can more quickly comprehend the cosmic principles of the Nine Heavens through the Great Universe Technique of the Void Dao Network.

For his flying magic weapon to fly in the Nine Heavens, it must conform to all the cosmic principles within the Nine Heavens.

After Ding Huan crafted the first flying shuttle magic weapon, it was swept into the depths of the vast waters after only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Ding Huan was quite helpless. Unless he stayed put or returned to the spot, no matter what flying magic weapon he crafted, he would be swept into the vast waters.

Because as he continued to advance, the cosmic source within the Nine Gaihan was constantly changing.

Moreover, the differences in these changes are quite significant.

After he left the first universe, the changes and transformations of the universe's origin laws accelerated.

The unique characteristic of the Nine Gaihan is that any flying magical artifact that does not conform to its own cosmic origin will be swept into the depths of the Han Water.

This is still within the area where Hanshui is located.

If he leaves the Han River and enters the Han Sand, Han Marsh, or even the Han Fire region...

If he wants to fly without relying on himself, there is only one way: his flying artifact must be able to constantly change its own source attribute to match the source characteristics of the space it is in.

In other words, his flying magical artifact must be alive, capable of continuously improving its own magical artifact source structure.

This……

Ding Huan knew this was difficult, and perhaps even impossible.

Since he had to travel anyway, and he had nothing better to do, he could only test it repeatedly.

After the first millennium had passed, Ding Huan was barely able to refine a flying magic weapon that could change its own source structure at any time.

The prerequisite is that he must provide sufficient materials.

However, this magical weapon was of little use to Ding Huan.

All he could forge was a top-grade flying artifact.

This flying artifact, even if it flew through the Nine Gaihan, would probably not be able to leave the Nine Gaihan for millions of years.

Moreover, Ding Huan's divine sense also swept over the vast water area of ​​Jiu Gai Han, which seemed to be a huge swamp in front of him as he was about to rush out of Jiu Gai Han.

Ding Huan had not yet come into contact with the great marshes in Jiugaihan, and he felt that the Han River should be the least threatening area in Jiugaihan.

Sure enough, as soon as Ding Huan entered the Nine Gaihan Great Swamp, in addition to the increased suction force, the source laws of the space also became chaotic.

Ding Huan completely gave up on the idea of ​​refining a flying magic weapon.

Under such chaotic cosmic laws, forging a flying artifact that can upgrade itself is simply a pipe dream.

He might as well improve his escape techniques.

Ding Huan flew above the Jiugai Hanze, his divine sense being compressed for the second time.

There are also various top-tier treasures in the Jiugai Hanze.

In this vast swamp, one can occasionally see materials containing the vast primordial principles, as well as things that are about to be transformed into magical treasures.

Ding Huan had no interest in any of these things.

He only becomes interested in collecting things when he occasionally sees one or two pieces that contain the vast primordial spirit.

The vast expanse of the swamp was boundless, without a single spiritual plant.
If it weren't for the occasional glimpse of a treasure containing a vast primordial spirit, the Nine Gai Vast Marsh would be just as desolate as it is today.

Flying over Jiugaihanze, Ding Huan slowed down again.

Three thousand years have passed, and when he swept his divine sense out, the vast expanse of the Hanze was still boundless.

Although he had been flying in the Nine Gaihan Marsh for three thousand years, his escape techniques had not improved, nor had his divine sense been enhanced in the slightest.

Just like reaching the top of a hundred-foot pole, Ding Huan felt that it was extremely difficult to make even the slightest progress on his path.

He had already calmed down.

After he stepped into the eighth step of the Great Dao, the vast Great Dao beneath him became unfriendly.

He hadn't originally planned to leap across the Nine Heavens in one go.

If Jiu Gaihan were so easy to get through, there wouldn't be so few people coming here.

On this day, Ding Huan flew over the Jiugai Hanze as usual, at a leisurely pace.

To his astonishment, he actually saw life.

A man holding a long sword stood on a protruding rock in the Jiugaihan Marsh, seemingly nailed to the spot.

The moment Ding Huan saw the sword, he thought of Ye Xuan.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
