After the myth

Chapter 1201 The Son of an Old Friend
Fan Yi is an unfamiliar name to Ding Huan.

Ku Ya knew that the Blue Star Divine Land was very important to Ding Huan.

She didn’t understand it before, but as her understanding of the Tao deepened, she understood the importance of inheritance and roots.

If the Great Universe Art is the great way inherited by Ding Huan, then the Blue Star Divine Land is one of the foundations of Ding Huan's great way.

So after saying that she had accepted Fan Yi as her disciple, she continued to explain: "Fan Yi has a very good character, which is the main reason why I accepted him as my disciple."

According to Fan Yi, he was born with immortal roots and came from the Changyi Immortal Realm. After leaving the Changyi Immortal Realm, he traveled to many divine realms.

The reason he stayed on the Blue Star Divine Continent and even joined the Blue Star Academy was because he said his mother came from a planet called Blue Star, and he took her surname..."

"Blue Star?" Ding Huan looked at Ku Ya in surprise.

Kuya nodded: "Yes, it's Blue Star. That planet seems to have another name: Earth."

Ding Huan looked at Ku Ya in disbelief.

In a place like Earth, where spiritual energy is scarce, how can someone cultivate to the point of entering the immortal realm?

Or rather, since Hongjun abandoned Earth from the Nine Heavens, there has been no possibility of cultivating the Tao.

Even he started his cultivation from the genetic spiritual root.

Otherwise, he would still be unable to cultivate.

Besides him, does Earth actually have other people with such talent and great fortune?
Not only did she leave Earth, but she also cultivated to the Immortal Realm? And the key point is that she is a woman.

Ding Huan suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Do you know what his mother's name is?"

"Her name is Fan Yibing..."

Ding Huan fell silent, his thoughts drifting back to the distant past.

After leaving Earth, he learned that some people had left with Qu Yi.

Among them were not only Fan Yibing, but also Zhong Chi, Lü Zi, Geng Qianxing, Zhan Wei, and others.

It is already a stroke of luck that Qu Yi was able to survive in the vastness.

That's because Qu Yi received the inheritance of a Starry Sky cultivator.

Later, he neither found nor heard any news about the rest of them, and Ding Huan estimated that no one could have survived.

Even he himself almost perished on the Four Directions Star Continent after leaving Earth.

Hearing news of Fan Yibing here, and that her son has become the sect leader of Blue Star Academy, is something Ding Huan never dared to imagine.

"Master..." Kuya couldn't help but call out when she saw Ding Huan lost in thought.

Ding Huan came to her senses and sighed.

He only hoped that Zhong Chi and the others were safe and sound, although he knew that his thoughts were a bit too naive.

But how wonderful it would be to see old friends from our home planet again hundreds of thousands of years later.

"Fan Yi may be a descendant of an old friend of mine. When I have free time, I will go back to the Blue Star Divine Continent to visit."

"what……"

Seeing Kuya's shocked expression, Ding Huan waved his hand: "You are my disciple. It is also a kind of connection that you have taken my old friend as your disciple."

Next, I will teach you the true art of the universe. Listen attentively; how much you can comprehend is entirely up to you and your destiny.

Because this opportunity will soon prove useful, we went to the Eight Peaks Canyon to verify the vast Dao. If your comprehension is lacking, your path to the Dao may only end here.

Ding Huan made it very clear that once they arrived at the Eight-Town Canyon, he would no longer be able to continue preaching to Ku Ya.

The Eight-Town Canyon may be the last opportunity in this vast world. Once you miss it, it will be almost impossible to enter such a place of enlightenment again.

Kuya, well-versed in human relationships, immediately understood the meaning behind Ding Huan's words.

That was to tell her that this might be the last time her master imparted knowledge to her, and if she still had any questions in the future, her master probably wouldn't impart knowledge to her again.

How high she can go in the future depends entirely on what she learns and understands today.

Kuya stood up and bowed, saying, "Master, I understand."

"Very well, my path is the Great Universe Technique. In the beginning of your cultivation, you were entirely focused on laying the foundation for the Great Dao. Even now that you are a True Saint, you are still laying that foundation..."

Kuya was immediately confused. Her foundation had long been laid, and now was the time to comprehend the Great Dao.

Where is there a sage who is still laying the foundation?
She didn't understand, but dared not ask Ding Huan.

Before Ding Huan began preaching, he told her to strive to understand, and to understand as much as she could.

"You may not understand yet, but that's alright. At the beginning of the Great Universe Technique, we take the rules of heaven and earth as our guide and comprehend the laws of all things..."

But in the vast universe, comprehending its laws is merely a superficial understanding. The fundamental principles of the universe are the true essence that constitutes the laws governing all things in the universe…

Kuya understood this time.

She became excited.

Before the master imparts the teachings, he first teaches her how to understand the fundamental principles of the universe.

Although she has not yet come into contact with the fundamental principles of the universe, she is luckier than Ding Huan.

After entering the first universe, she learned of the existence of the Source Law and realized that there were two reasons why she was so weak in the first universe.

Firstly, because she knew nothing about the source, and secondly, because the rules of heaven and earth and the laws of all things in the first universe were far more complete and profound than what she had comprehended.

However, the source law is something that she, as an outsider cultivator, cannot touch at all.

Don't even mention her; it was during her time wandering in the Ten Directions Universe City.

The cultivators native to the Ten Directions Universe City also showed expressions of extreme longing when talking about the origins.

No one is willing to teach this kind of thing.

To comprehend the principles through one's own experience is something that not everyone can do.

Kuya knew that, at least, she couldn't do it.

Now that her master is actually imparting the principles of origin to her, how could she not be excited?
Ding Huan shared everything without holding anything back, teaching Ku Ya everything from the earliest cosmic principles to the vast cosmic principles, then to the vast primordial cosmic principles, and even the changes in the principles during the formation and initial division of the vast universe.

After imparting the Origin Principles, Ding Huan began explaining the formation of the Great Universe Technique. This included perfecting one's own universe, forming one's own cosmic chaos, and then evolving one's own cosmic Origin Principles...

Because Kuya is the root of darkness, Ding Huan focused on teaching her how the source of darkness forms a vast universe and then splits into its components.

After Ding Huan came out from outside the Nine Realms, he fully understood the process of the formation and initial division of the Vast Origin through the Vast Origin Principle.

Although the Great Dao World he created was not solely composed of the Dark Source Law, the Dark Source Law was still a part of his Great Dao Universe World.

Teaching this part separately to Kuya would be more suitable for her.

Kuya listened with rapt attention.

Unlike Nian Huan, she had studied the Great Universe Technique for tens of thousands of years, and many of the Daoist principles could be fully understood by Ding Huan with just a reminder.

Although Ding Huan was still discussing the Dao, Ku Ya had not yet begun her cultivation.

During the discussion, Kuya's cultivation of the Great Dao gradually improved, and her aura became increasingly powerful.

A century later, Ding Huan stopped his philosophical discussions and stepped out of the inner cabin.

Only Kuya was still comprehending Ding Huan's Daoist principles.

Seeing that Jian Tian and Ye Xuan were both engrossed in the process of verifying each other's swordsmanship, Ding Huan simply took over the cosmic pot.

In Ding Huan's eyes, Jian Tian's cultivation was far superior to Ye Xuan's, but Ye Xuan's understanding of the sword path was perhaps closer to the origin of the sword than Jian Tian's.

Jian Tian's advantage lies in his vast Dao Spirit, having obtained a vast inheritance of sword Dao.

Once Ye Xuan proves the Great Dao, his swordsmanship will eventually surpass that of Jian Tian.

However, the discussion between the two was very beneficial to both Jian Tian and Ye Xuan.

The cosmic pot doesn't move without direction; it advances according to a directional array.

As soon as Ding Huan took over the Cosmic Pot, its speed immediately increased.

Another hundred years passed, and just as Ding Huan was about to approach the Eight-Town Canyon with the cosmic cauldron under his control, he received a message from Mo Wuji.

Ding Huan was overjoyed and focused his divine sense on the communication bead.

The message was very brief, as if it were an urgent message: "Ding Huan, Xiao Bu and I might be swept into the Eight Peaks Canyon..."

That's all.

This message was sent very hastily.

Ding Huan's first reaction upon seeing this message was that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu had reunited after leaving Jiu Gai, but they encountered a powerful figure and were then forced to enter the Ba Yan Canyon...

Ding Huan quickly dismissed this guess.

It's certain that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu will reunite.

Could it be that the area outside Jiugai and the Batang Canyon are connected?

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were caught in the Eight-Town Canyon, and there was no time to explain in more detail.
Regardless of why Mo Wuji sent this message, Ding Huan understood Mo Wuji's meaning.

That means letting him and Jian Tian enter the Eight-Town Canyon directly, without having to wait outside the canyon.

Ding Huan accelerated the speed of the cosmic pot again, and ten years later, the cosmic pot stopped at the location given by Mo Wuji.

Ding Huan scanned the area with his divine sense. If Mo Wuji hadn't told him, he might not have been able to find the seal.

Even if he came once.

The three of them opened the Eight-Town Canyon together. He and Lan Xiaobu sealed the Eight-Town Canyon, while Mo Wuji set up the outer hidden source realm.

Ding Huan woke up Ku Ya, who was in seclusion, and also interrupted Ye Xuan and Jian Tian's discussion.

With Jian Tian's obsession with swordsmanship and Ye Xuan's love of learning.

It wouldn't be surprising if these two guys debated for ten thousand years.

Ding Huan didn't have that much time to wait for these two guys to discuss their theories.

He was eager to prove the ninth step of the Vast Ocean.

Otherwise, every extra breath in the first universe would be a moment of danger.

"Brother Ding Huan, you've already arrived at the Eight-Town Canyon?" Jian Tian's eyes were extremely bright at this moment.

He gained more from discussing the Dao with Ye Xuan than Ye Xuan did.

He has always been working in isolation.

Or perhaps he felt he had inherited a vast sword intent, and thus looked down on all other sword styles.

Today, Ye Xuan helped him open a completely new window.

"Correct."

"But Fellow Daoist Wuji and Fellow Daoist Xiaobu haven't arrived yet?"

Jian Tian was clearly still eager for more; he hoped to discuss the Dao of Sword with Ye Xuan for another ten thousand years.

Ding Huan said solemnly, "Wuji and Xiaobu may have encountered some special circumstances; they may have already entered the Eight Peaks Canyon."

Jian Tian frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "I heard a long time ago that the area outside Jiu Gai and the Ba Yan Canyon are actually connected. What you said is quite possible."

"No matter what, every moment we stay outside is a moment more dangerous than the last. I'll open the Eight Gorges entrance that Wuji left behind now, and we'll go inside."

Ding Huan said quite decisively.

"Alright, Brother Ye Xuan, let's discuss the Dao after we go inside."

Jian Tian looked at Ye Xuan expectantly.

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay."

Ding Huan said, "The first thing to do after entering the Eight Peaks Canyon is to survive."

The Eight-Eyed Canyon is filled with the essence of garbage and contains endless miasma. Therefore, even if you intend to go in to discuss the Dao, you must first find a way to survive.”

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
