Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 711 - 704: Holy Beast Zhuo Dun

Ji Xinguan obviously knew the background of Yi Jie, and despite Yi Jie's harsh words, he didn't care, he just looked at Ding Huan:

"Mr. Ding, perhaps you can't see my cultivation, but I believe the friend by your side should have noticed. I am also a Quasi-Saint."

"Get lost." Ding Huan's patience had run out, and the domain swept out fiercely.

Even though Ji Xinguan was at the Quasi-Saint Realm, facing Ding Huan's ferocious and powerful domain, he immediately felt a sense of oppression and instinctively sidestepped to avoid Ding Huan's domain impact.

By the time he realized, Ding Huan and his group had already walked past him.

Ji Xinguan watched Ding Huan's back in amazement. He knew Hou Hen was likely a Quasi-Saint.

But the domain that struck him earlier had nothing to do with Hou Hen; it was unleashed by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan being able to unleash such formidable might on the Eternal God Peak indicated what?

It indicated that his Divine Will was not suppressed like theirs.

Ji Xinguan's expression was uncertain, even though he was a Quasi-Saint.

But it was not as he said, where he could meet the Heavenly Soul Saint anytime, anywhere.

Originally, he just wanted to trick Ding Huan's beast pet into his hands.

That Demon Beast in Ding Huan's hands was truly a waste of a treasure.

In Ding Huan's eyes, that Demon Beast might have a hint of the Divine Beast Mountain Salve bloodline.

If it only had a hint of the Divine Beast Mountain Salve bloodline, given to him, he wouldn't even bother looking at it.

Only he knew that the Demon Beast had the Zhuo Dun bloodline.

Zhuo Dun possessed more than a dozen innate Divine Abilities and was indeed a Chaos Holy Beast.

Being fond of cursing was just one of Zhuo Dun's innate Divine Abilities; moreover, Zhuo Dun had the innate Divine Ability to make words manifest as law.

The offspring of the Mountain Salve inherited only the cursing innate Divine Ability.

And White Ze, also a descendant of Zhuo Dun, the Sacred Beast of Omniscience possesses the ability to make words manifest as law.

Besides these innate Divine Abilities, Zhuo Dun also had the ability to lead its master to sanctification.

As long as one is Zhuo Dun's master, they have the ability to comprehend the Great Dao of the Saints.

Even if the master lacks natural talent, Zhuo Dun can find Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or saintly opportunities to assist its master in comprehending the Great Dao of the Saints.

Therefore, this Holy Beast with Zhuo Dun's bloodline was something Ji Xinguan had to acquire at any cost.

There probably weren't many who could recognize the Zhuo Dun Holy Beast. He could recognize it because Ji Xinguan was the Sect Master of the Holy Beast Sect.

Poor Holy Beast Sect, with the name Holy Beast, yet had not even a single Holy Beast in the sect since its founding.

"Ding Huan, there might be a Saint behind this guy." Seeing Ji Xinguan did not pursue, Hou Hen Divine Emperor remarked.

Ding Huan smiled: "Eternal God Abyss has existed for so many years, who knows how many people are trapped here. Occasionally, individuals become Saints after entering the Eternal God Abyss, and it's not strange they end up at the Eternal God Peak."

"So what do we do?"

Hou Hen Divine Emperor sensed Ji Xinguan's cultivation level and felt he could at best fight to a draw against Ji Xinguan.

This man had been at Eternal God Peak for a long time, having comprehended enough Heaven and Earth Laws, his Quasi-Saint strength was even more apparent.

Even handling Ji Xinguan was challenging, not to mention dealing with a Saint—his strength was probably nowhere near sufficient.

Ding Huan didn't mind: "Old Hou, if your Divine Will is suppressed to such weakness, how good could a Saint be? Just give me a few months, and what if a Saint comes?"

Hou Hen Divine Emperor nodded, as he could only look up to Ding Huan's comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao.

In terms of cultivation, he was much stronger than Ding Huan, but in terms of comprehension of the Great Dao, they weren't on the same level.

Hou Hen had seen Saints before; he had interacted with top Saints like Luo Xu and Tai Luan for many years.

Thinking of this, he no longer worried about the matter of Saints.

Led by Ding Huan, the group walked along the mountain base for nearly a day until Ding Huan stopped.

"There is a Defense Divine Array here." Noticing Ding Huan stopped where there was a Defense Divine Array, Hou Hen Divine Emperor remarked.

This Defense Divine Array was clearly not a natural big array, but an artificially set one.

Being able to set up such a large array here that even he couldn't see through indicated it was extremely strong.

Ding Huan's gaze fell on the position before him, where two giant stones stood on either side, resembling a stone gate.

Within the stone gate was a Defense Divine Array, and its level was a seventh-level Divine Array.

"This should be set by a Saint; it seems Ji Xinguan was indeed not lying—there is a Saint here."

As Ding Huan spoke, his Divine Will was focused on the Protecting Array.

His Array Dao level could set an eighth-level Divine Array, theoretically making him an eighth-level Divine Array Emperor.

However, if asked to set an array now, he could at most set a fourth-level Divine Array.

Because setting an array is closely related to Divine Will, and if his Divine Will couldn't extend up and down, his proficiency in Array Dao wouldn't rise.

The presence of a seventh-level Divine Array indicated that the cultivator who set it had stronger Divine Will than he did.

In this place, the only ones stronger in Divine Will than him were Saints, or those who also possessed the Great Universe Technique cultivation technique.

His Great Universe Technique was self-created; anyone cultivating a similar technique wouldn't appear so coincidentally here.

It had to be a Saint, as Saints, understanding all things, comprehend Heaven and Earth Laws faster, and thus could set up a seventh-level Divine Array here.

"Then we should find another place." Though Hou Hen Divine Emperor had met many Saints before and wouldn't fear them much, avoiding them would be preferable.

Ding Huan sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the best entry point to climb the peak of Eternal God Peak."

The Saint blocked the way here and established a Defense Divine Array.

Perhaps there are many other cultivators within this Defense Divine Array.

But Ding Huan understood their intentions.

He was undoubtedly the fastest and most comprehensive in perceiving the Heaven and Earth Rules of this space.

Still, he was worried that someone else might perceive the Dao Principles of this realm before him and reach the peak of Eternal God Peak first.

So he set up a Divine Array here, blocking the best entry route to the peak of Eternal God Peak.

Ding Huan glanced again at the peak of Eternal God Peak.

It seems that the Saint isn't just after the Void Nirvana Gold; could there be other treasures at the peak of Eternal God Peak?

Ding Huan began arranging the Trigger Array Patterns; he wouldn't disturb this Saint, but he had to know when the Saint would emerge from seclusion.

"Which ant is blocking the path of Mr. Huan and Master Jie..." Seeing Mr. Huan frown here, Yi Jie immediately stepped up to take action.

"Let's go, Lao Hou, we'll find another place." Ding Huan patted Yi Jie on the head.

This pig even dared to mess with the Saint's domain.

The group continued forward, and it was only after two full days that Ding Huan stopped at a certain basin.

"Ding Huan, this may not be a good place to settle." Thick Trace God Emperor immediately noticed the blurred Dao Rhythm of the basin, making the Heaven and Earth Dao senses even harder to comprehend.

"No, this place is just right." Ding Huan began setting up the Protecting Array.

Currently, he could only establish a fourth-level Divine Array, but Ding Huan believed a fourth-level Divine Array was sufficient.

The reason he chose this basin was partly because Ding Huan sensed more Heaven and Earth Laws here.

As for whether these Heaven and Earth Laws were clear, Ding Huan didn't care at all.

He relied on his own Great Universe Technique, having nothing to do with external factors.

For him, as long as such laws exist, it suffices.

Whether they are blurred or clear, he could only rely on the Great Universe Technique.

Additionally, this spot is far enough from the Saint's dojo.

When the Saint emerges, he would have ample time to respond.

"Lao Hou, Lao Ji, these jade slips contain some of my insights into the Heaven and Earth Laws. You should understand them as well. I estimate that if we reach the peak of Eternal God Peak before the Saint, there might be a great battle."

Ding Huan took out two jade slips and handed them to Thick Trace God Emperor and Ji Luo.

These jade slips of profound Cultivation Techniques understood by others are akin to a novice cultivator acquiring a cultivation technique.

Utilizing these Great Dao Method jade slips made it much easier than perceiving them on one's own.

Perceiving the Heaven and Earth Dao Principles from scratch is something most cultivators couldn't even enter.

Only those extremely sensitive to Heaven and Earth Rules would sense something over time.

If not, then it's beings akin to Saints.

Saints touch upon the rules of all things in Heaven and Earth; only then can they re-sense the Heaven and Earth Laws here.

Yet this also requires an immense accumulation of time.

As Ding Huan continued perceiving the Heaven and Earth Laws through the Great Universe Technique, Thick Trace God Emperor murmured excitedly.

Having entered the Eternal God Abyss for several months, today he finally found a thread to follow.

With Ding Huan's Great Dao jade slip, he would certainly perceive more Heaven and Earth Laws. Once he perceives more Heaven and Earth Laws, his combat power here could increase tenfold.

Although he's still far from reaching the Quasi-Saint realm, dealing with Ji Xinguan should be no problem.

The first thing Ding Huan did while in seclusion was to comprehend the Descent Law.

He had encountered the Descent Law back at the Dao Ruins.

The more he engaged with it, the more he sensed the profundity of the Descent Law.

The Descent Law not only encompasses Chen's Law but also Law of Descent, they neither ascend nor descend within the Eternal God Abyss, hovering beneath the Void Law and Law of Descent.

To be one step ahead of the Saint in reaching the peak of Eternal God Peak, the Descent Law must be fully comprehended.

...

Double Stone Valley at Eternal God Peak.

This was where Ding Huan previously stayed and is also the sole location of the Heavenly Soul Saint's dojo at Eternal God Peak.

Ji Xinguan lingered for several months, finally deciding to seek an audience with the Heavenly Soul Saint.

He needed nothing else but to seize the beast pet by Ding Huan's side.

As for the secrets on Ding Huan, he left them entirely to the Heavenly Soul Saint.

He was sure Ding Huan held secrets; otherwise, how could a cultivator not yet at the God Unification Realm suppress him with a Divine Thought Domain?

To him, no secret compared to the Chaos Holy Beast.

Ji Xinguan knocked on the restrictions of Double Stone Valley.

Two jet-black lights shot from within Double Stone Valley, piercing directly through Ji Xinguan's chest.

Ji Xinguan dared not move.

He knew this was the rule of the Heavenly Soul Saint.

If anyone dared to disturb his restrictions during his seclusion, they would endure two stabs through the heart.

After two heart-piercing stabs, they could speak further.

Ji Xinguan forcefully endured the two heart-piercing stabs, feeling aggrieved but enduring it for the Chaos Holy Beast.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
