After the myth

Chapter 1176 Jian Tian Joins
"If that's the case, then since Wu Dao hasn't come looking for you yet, can we understand that Wu Dao is not outside Jiugai now?"

Jian Tian's wholehearted devotion is to the sword, and even coming here is for the vast sword rules.

It’s not that he is stupid, but he doesn’t like to think about things in a roundabout way.

In most cases, anything that affected his swordsmanship or required him to think hard was solved with just one sword.

If one sword strike isn't enough, then two will do.

Now that Ding Huan had spoken so bluntly, Jian Tian understood. He frowned and asked, "You mean that Wu Dao didn't dare to enter the Nine Realms to comprehend the Great Dao because he didn't kill Chi Zhou and Ye Sha?"

Ding Huan chuckled and said, "Chi Zhou and Ye Sha are also members of the Three Paths. It probably won't be so easy for Wu Dao to kill Ye Sha and Chi Zhou, will it?"
Besides, isn't it said that under the vastness, the three paths are immortal?
Therefore, I guess that Wu Dao went out to find Ye Sha and Chi Zhou to try and trap those two somewhere so that they wouldn't interfere with his entry into the Nine Realms to attain enlightenment.

There was one more thing Ding Huan didn't say.

Wu Dao is one of the three paths, as are Ye Sha and Chi Zhou.

Sima Zhao's intention to guard the area outside Jiugai was as clear as day; everyone knew it.

Given this, it won't be so easy for Muto to scheme against Yesha and Akazū.

The fact that there has been no news of Wu Dao for millions of years suggests that something very likely happened to him.

At this moment, it was the perfect time for them to go beyond Jiugai.

In fact, once Wu Dao returns, it will be almost impossible to find another period of time outside Jiu Gai where no one is guarding it.

"So that means my trip to find Wu Dao was probably in vain?" Jian Tian seemed to be talking to himself.

Ding Huan explained, "Fellow Daoist Jian Tian, ​​you cultivate the Dao of the Sword, so it's really not suitable for you to play mind games with someone like Wu Dao."

You should be glad that Wu Dao is not outside Jiu Gai now; if he were, you would probably be in danger.

I'm certain that after Wu Dao used you, not only will you fail to reclaim the Vast Sword Principles, but you yourself will likely become a stepping stone on Wu Dao's path.

There was a hint of melancholy in Jian Tian's eyes.

In his heart, the Vast Sword was of paramount importance to his swordsmanship.

Ding Huan knew that someone like Jian Tian, ​​who was surrounded by the source of the Great Dao from birth, had no worries about cultivation resources, which actually had both advantages and disadvantages.

It can be said that if he were to pass on Jian Tian's swordsmanship to Ye Xuan, and Ye Xuan's Dao body were to reach a higher level, Ye Xuan's achievements in swordsmanship would surely surpass those of Jian Tian.

"Fellow Daoist Jian Tian, ​​the Vast Sword Law is indeed very important. But even the most powerful Vast Sword Law was condensed when the Vastness was created."

If one day you achieve great success and even comprehend the profound mysteries of the vast beginning, you may well be able to condense your own vast sword principles.

"Think about it, which is more valuable: the vast sword principle you forged yourself or the vast sword principle you plundered from the outside world?"

Ding Huan is just talking without understanding the situation.

If the Great Sword Principles were so easy to condense, why would he need to come outside the Nine Realms to search for the Great Origin Dao Principles to break through to the ninth step of the Great Dao?

Once one's own Great Dao is perfected, why not simply condense one's own vast Primordial Dao Principles?
Jian Tian listened to what he said.

Because he believed that Ding Huan's words made sense.

Legend has it that the One Yuan is the one who condenses his own vast Dao principles from his own Great Dao, stepping outside the Great Dao.

Seeing that Jian Tian was under his control, Ding Huan pressed his advantage: "Fellow Daoist Jian Tian, ​​this time I am going to the Nine Realms with two of my friends. Why don't you join us?"

Who says the Three Paths have to be Wudao, Chizhou, and Yesha? Why can't someone else be one of the Three Paths? Besides, I also have the Great Net you mentioned.”

After saying that, Ding Huan raised his hand and summoned the Great Net that he had taken from Di Xin.

"Huh, this is the ninth one?"

Jian Tian exclaimed in surprise.

In fact, Ding Huan said many things that he was too lazy to refute.

What do you mean by "three paths to immortality"? Why can't others be one of the three paths?
In his heart, how much more noble were the three Daos than him?
Ding Huan was taken aback: "What does the ninth rule mean?"

Jian Tian explained, "The Great Net has nine sections in total, from the first to the ninth. This is the ninth one. I heard that this net is in the hands of Di Xin. How did you get your hands on it?"

Looking at the Great Net in his hand, Ding Huan realized that it was actually a complete set of magic treasures, just like his Great Dao Compass.

"Can I use the Great Net in my hand to enter beyond the Nine Realms?"

This was the only issue Ding Huan cared about; he didn't care about anything else.

Jian Tian nodded: "With the help of my vast Origin Sword Dao, it is entirely possible to enter beyond the Nine Realms, but your net may be rendered useless."

Ding Huan laughed and said, "I don't care about this website."

Ding Huan didn't care about this, since he got it from Di Xin anyway.

Ding Huan even brought out the ninth rule of Da Zewang.

In addition, Jian Tian also wanted to see if he could elevate his Great Dao to a higher level and condense his own vast sword principles after entering the Nine Realms.

He readily agreed to Ding Huan's suggestion and followed Ding Huan to the outskirts of Jiugai.

Jian Tian, ​​one of the Five Ancestors of Vastness, had no friends because no one could share a common language with him.

Even if Wu Dao could deceive him, it was because of the Vast Sword Law.

Deep down, he looked down on Wu Dao just as much.

If one can gain Jian Tian's approval, Jian Tian will definitely not keep his swordsmanship secret.

Ding Huan doesn't practice swordsmanship, but he practices the Great Universe Technique. Whenever it comes to the fundamental principles of the universe, Ding Huan's understanding is extraordinary.

He traveled with Jian Tian, ​​not just to learn Jian Tian's vast swordsmanship.

When the two discussed the Dao, Ding Huan was not much less knowledgeable than Jian Tian about many fundamental principles.

Ding Huan was able to provide perfect answers to some profound mysteries of the Dao that even Jian Tian struggled to understand.

This made Jian Tian increasingly respect Ding Huan, to the point that when he taught Ding Huan the vast sword arts, he held nothing back. When Jian Tian was first rescued by Ding Huan, his strength was still very weak.

In just a few years, Jian Tian's strength had recovered to about 70-80%.

Compared to Ding Huan, Jian Tian's strength is more than ten times greater.

In addition, Jian Tian's understanding of Jiu Gaihan far surpasses that of Ding Huan.

With Jian Tian leading the way, the two of them crossed the Jiugaihan Great Swamp and entered the Jiugaihan Great Desert in less than a hundred years.

In the Jiugaihan, the most dangerous place is not the Great Swamp or the Jiugaihan Fire Mist Zone, but the Jiugaihan Desert.

"Ding Huan, you said you had two friends who came with you, right?"

Standing outside the vast Jiugaihan Desert, Jian Tian did not immediately go in. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.

If Jian Tian had asked Ding Huan such a question before or when he first met Ding Huan, he would never have asked it.

For Jian Tian, ​​anything that isn't related to swords is something he'd rather avoid.

Don't talk about anything, even things unrelated to swords; say as few words as possible.

"Yes, they should still be behind us. We agreed to meet after we leave Jiugaihan." Ding Huan had already told Jian Tian about Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

After all, when we enter the Nine Realms in the future, we will have to wait for Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji.

"Then let's wait for him here, otherwise if they enter the Jiugaihan Desert, they will basically face certain death."

Jian Tian spoke as if it were a casual conversation, but Ding Huan was taken aback:

"Brother Jiantian, is the Nine-Gaihan Desert really that terrifying?"

Jian Tian had witnessed his strength along the way, and in Jian Tian's eyes, Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji were about the same as him.

Therefore, Ding Huan would not doubt Jian Tian's words.

Jian Tian nodded: "That's right. Without the guidance of the Vast Dao Spirit, there would be no way to survive in the Nine Gaihan Desert. I was born alongside Vast Dao Spirit and am also one of the Vast Dao Spirits."

Ding Huan increasingly felt that the vastness beneath was far too unfriendly to cultivators like them who did not belong to the vast Dao Spirit.

“You don’t need to worry. As long as you send the message here, they will definitely see it before they enter the Jiugaihan Desert.”

Despite Jian Tian's casual remark, Ding Huan still set up a spatial source boundary so that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu could discover his information.

Ding Huan was able to travel faster because he was with Jian Tian.

After waiting for Jian Tian for decades, Ding Huan finally received a message from Mo Wuji.

Even though they were still in the Nine Realms, it felt like a lifetime had passed when Mo Wuji and Ding Huan met again.

"Ding Huan, I didn't expect to meet you before we even left Jiu Gai Han." When Mo Wuji arrived, his hair and clothes were a mess, and his aura was somewhat chaotic.

Before entering Jiugaihan, they didn't realize how terrifying it was; after entering, they discovered just how terrifying Jiugaihan was.

Their strength, outside the First Universe, already stands at the pinnacle of the universe. Here, even Jiu Gaihan might not be able to cross it.

No wonder Wu Dao wasn't worried about anyone being able to enter outside Jiu Gai.

Ordinary people really can't get in.

"Wuji, this is Jian Tian."

Ding Huan was overjoyed to see Mo Wuji and immediately introduced Jian Tian to him.

"One of the Five Ancestors?" Mo Wuji looked at Jian Tian in surprise.

He knew far more about the Fifth Patriarch than Ding Huan did.

In his understanding, Jian Tian was the most inhuman of the Five Ancestors.

I never expected that Jian Tian, ​​one of the Five Ancestors, would have such a good relationship with Ding Huan.

He soon discovered that Jian Tian was easy to talk to and not at all the difficult person he was rumored to be.

After getting to know each other again, everyone discussed the principles together while waiting for Lan Xiaobu.

Jian Tian was shocked to discover that Mo Wuji's Dao was in no way inferior to Ding Huan's.

He also gained a lot from Mo Wuji.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, you must have gained a great deal from your mortal path beyond the Nine Gai. After you leave the Nine Gai, your achievements may even surpass mine..."

Jian Tian never hides his thoughts or actions; he says whatever he feels.

After discussing the Dao with Jian Tian, ​​Mo Wuji also learned about Jian Tian's character and realized that he was not a cunning and treacherous person.

He simply said, "Brother Jiantian, we have discussed and believe that the area outside Jiugai and the Bayan Valley may be the key to taking the ninth step of the Great Dao."

Simply going beyond Jiugai is unlikely to bring about a qualitative change in our path. Therefore, we plan to go beyond Jiugai first, and then proceed to the Eight Peaks Canyon.

"After we leave Jiugai, Fellow Daoist Jiantian, why don't you come with us to Bayan Canyon?"

Jian Tian shook his head: "I can go to the Eight Peaks Canyon with you, but under the vastness, only one person can take the ninth step of the Great Dao."

"If the three paths don't work, then even the Five Patriarchs won't work."

Ding Huan immediately grasped Jian Tian's meaning: "Brother Jian Tian, ​​do you mean that the three paths are still at the ninth step of the Great Dao?"

"Yes," Jian Tian answered decisively.

"Then what makes them immortal?"

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
