Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Ji Changsi awkwardly chuckled, "That is true indeed."

He truly did not wish to leave this place. Watching Da Fan Immortal Sect's sect points soar was a glory the sect had not achieved in many years.

Maybe not many people paid attention to Da Fan Immortal Sect for now, but when the sect broke into the top hundred, heh heh...

Which Immortal Sect Master wouldn't address him, Ji Changsi, as Brother Ji?

"Sect Master, I'd like to ask a favor of you, to quietly send my companion, Yi Jinxi, to the Immortal Court. Once she's there, you can return.

Don't worry, after the ranking competition of the Immortal Sects, I'll have a surprise for you," Ding Huan said gravely.

Ji Changsi clenched his teeth, "All right, I'll send her over right now."

He had no choice but to agree.

From Half Still Immortal City, one would take the Teleportation Array to Eternal Immortal Dao City, then transfer to another...

Ji Changsi carefully considered the route. If he was fast, he could return to Half Still Immortal City in just over a month.

"Then I thank you, Sect Master. I'll go call my companion," Ding Huan quickly expressed his gratitude.

He didn't dare to let Rong Xiyu stay here any longer. If Rong Xiyu stayed and that monk caught up, would he intervene?

If he did, he didn't have the capability. If he didn't, his Dao Vein was a gift from Rong Xiyu.

Having received such kindness, he couldn't stand by and watch Rong Xiyu be killed.

Ji Changsi returned to the sect with Ding Huan, who then opened the room.

Rong Xiyu, who had been in the room for several days, finally came out, noticeably more frail than before.

"Junior Brother Ding, has today's competition ended?" Rong Xiyu inquired.

Ding Huan shook his head, "Senior Sister Rong, a monk has discovered the matters of the sect's menial work peak, and he's searching his way here..."

Rong Xiyu's face changed upon hearing this.

She had experienced the aura of that Dao Vein, knowing if a powerful being discovered it, they would most certainly not let it go.

Ding Huan waved her concerns away, "You don't need to worry, I've asked Ji Changsi, the Sect Master of Da Fan Immortal Sect, to send you to the Immortal Court.

Remember, once you get to the Immortal Court, immediately send a message to Helian Audong. She is my friend, and this is her Communication Bead..."

Ding Huan took out a Communication Bead and two Jade Scrolls to hand to Rong Xiyu, "One scroll is for Helian Audong, and the other is for Emperor Ping Wei."

"What about you?" Rong Xiyu asked anxiously.

"I will definitely be fine. You should know my capabilities. Unless an Immortal Emperor comes, I can leave at my leisure. That fat monk is probably not at the Immortal Emperor level yet, so don't worry about me."

Rong Xiyu knew about Ding Huan's capabilities; now hearing him say this, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging Communication Beads with Ding Huan, Rong Xiyu followed Ji Changsi and left Half Still Immortal City.

Ji Changsi was crafty and shrewd. Though he didn't ask outright, he could guess why Ding Huan was so anxious to send Rong Xiyu away.

Nevertheless, it didn't concern him. Da Fan Immortal Sect had only invited Ding Huan temporarily to participate in the Grand Competition for the sect, so they were collaborators at best.

Ding Huan returned to the Battle Arena.

Three rounds had passed, and the likelihood of fighting several times a day was increasing.

Indeed, just as the day ended, the third round was completely over once the Ming Guang Array activated.

After Ji Changsi left, the task of the Immortal Sect ranking Grand Competition fell completely to Ming Mu.

Ming Mu was in a good mood; both Yan Sha and Ding Huan had passed the third round of the competition.

Four two-hour periods later, Ding Huan participated in the fourth round.

This time his opponent was another female cultivator. With just four strikes, Ding Huan forced his opponent out of the second arena, advancing to the fifth round.

Ding Huan was surprised to find that Yan Sha had also made it through the fourth round and into the fifth.

Actually, by the fourth round, the strength of the opponents only got stronger, and the fact that Yan Sha could get past the fourth round was quite impressive.

For him, it was different. With his current strength, even a Da Yi Immortal would not intimidate him. Therefore, whether his Profound Immortal realm opponent was stronger or weaker made little difference to him.

Before the fifth round even started, Ding Huan's Divine Will sensed the fat monk arriving at the Grand Competition Square of Half Still Immortal City.

This guy's Divine Will roamed everywhere, clearly sensing for a familiar Daoist Rhythm aura.

Ding Huan snickered inwardly; if Rong Xiyu were here, she might have been detected by him.

But now that Rong Xiyu had left, even the sharpest nose of that fellow wouldn't detect any familiar Daoist Rhythm from him.

Ding Huan didn't need to probe with his Divine Will; the fluctuations in the monk's Daoist Rhythm told him his guess was correct—the monk was not yet an Immortal Emperor but likely a nearly Perfect Immortal King.

Such a person, upon detecting something like a Dao Vein, would naturally have their eyes light up and try everything to get their hands on it.

"Hello, my name is Luo Binghe," a female cultivator suddenly approached Ding Huan.

Ding Huan had been observing the fat monk and hadn't noticed the female cultivator approaching.

He withdrew his Divine Will and looked at Luo Binghe standing in front of him. After sizing her up, he said, "You were eliminated by me in the second round."

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Luo Binghe's eyes, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

She had been very unwilling when Ding Huan eliminated her.

She believed that with her abilities, she could have made it to the sixth or even seventh round.

But she was out by the second round. She even wondered if she hadn't insisted on her opponent becoming a eunuch, perhaps she wouldn't have lost so easily.

Afterward, she kept a close eye on Ding Huan's matches. After watching his third and fourth rounds, she fully understood.

Ding Huan had taken more than twenty moves to defeat her, not because she lasted more than twenty moves, but because he had given her the opportunity to do so.

With Ding Huan's strength, even if she were a level stronger, she would still not be his match.

She knew Wan Jinjiang from the Red Sun Immortal Sect all too well—he could easily defeat her. Yet, such a person didn't even get a chance to make a move before being eliminated by Ding Huan.

"You're not really a formal disciple of the Da Fan Immortal Sect, are you? Are you representing the Da Fan Immortal Sect in the Immortal Sect Competition?" Luo Binghe continued to inquire.

Compared to Ding Huan, the only thing Luo Binghe could beat was age.

Despite being much older than Ding Huan, as a core disciple like her, most of her time was spent in closed-door cultivation within the Immortal Sect.

On the rare occasions she went out for trials, it was usually with a group of disciples or within the safety of a Secret Realm.

For disciples of their Immortal Sect to venture out, unless someone was blind, no one would dare to offend or scheme against a core disciple of a Six-star Immortal Sect.

So when it came to experience, perception, and reading people's inner thoughts, Luo Binghe paled in comparison to Ding Huan.

From her expression and a single sentence, Ding Huan guessed that this woman must have been sent by their Immortal Sect Master.

"Junior Brother Lao Liu, our Sect Master says that if you are willing to join Yihai Palace, you will be the number one core disciple.

All Sect resources will be at your disposal, and our Immortal Sect Master can also take you as a Direct Disciple."

Luo Binghe obviously lacked experience and could not contain her thoughts, revealing her intentions before getting familiar with the situation.

Ding Huan smiled slightly, "Sorry, I feel pretty content with my current situation, so I'm not considering joining any other Immortal Sects."

"Our Yihai Palace has numerous beauties, and they are all very enthusiastic..."

Luo Binghe almost wanted to crawl into a hole after saying that.

Before their fight, she had seen Ding Huan's overindulgent appearance and itched with hatred.

She even wanted to castrate him to prevent him from causing further harm to innocent women.

And now here she was, sounding like a procuress, saying words that made her feel utterly ashamed in front of Ding Huan.

But she had to say them because the Sect Master had ordered her to deliver this message.

Ding Huan frowned slightly, his Divine Will had already sensed the presence of Rong Xiyu, the Sect Master of Yihai Palace.

The man had a sneaky aura—definitely not a good sign.

Ding Huan was certain that he wanted him to join Yihai Palace for reasons other than his strength, which was undeniably strong.

After all, having passed only four rounds in the competition, why would he single him out among thousands who had made it through the fighting trials?

Ding Huan began to ponder what it was about him that the other party valued.

In the previous four rounds, he had easily overcome all his opponents without ever revealing his true capabilities...

No, that wasn't true—Ding Huan remembered, in the third round, that bearded young man.

Seemingly a disciple of the Red Sun Immortal Sect, in that match, he had also won with a single move.

Out of reluctance to waste time on the stage, he had manifested his Starry Sky Domain. The bearded young man attempted to suppress him with his own Domain, but was directly shattered by Ding Huan's.

Furthermore, under his Domain, the bearded young man was helplessly defeated.

If one was paying attention, it would be clear that his Domain was exceptionally formidable.

A strong Domain in a cultivator meant that his Divine Will was exceedingly powerful.

Heh, it seemed that Rong Xiyu wanted him to join Yihai Palace because his Divine Will was far superior amongst his peers.

It certainly wasn't because he recognized Ding Huan as a talent with a Sea of Consciousness that surpassed his peers; there had to be some intention to utilize his Divine Will for some purpose.

As an Immortal King, the other was just a Profound Immortal. As long as he didn't wish to die, understanding this logic, Ding Huan would not join Yihai Palace.

Ding Huan could also feel the other's Divine Will circling around him, subtle though it was. But any attempt to deceive his Divine Will was futile.

Thus, Ding Huan decided not to let any emotional fluctuations be captured by the other party.

Seeing that Ding Huan had not spoken for a long time, Luo Binghe continued to say,

"Our Sect Master said that he wishes to take you as a disciple because he wants to help you ascend to the Nine Heavens..."

Because this was what the Sect Master had told her to say if Ding Huan refused.

Luo Binghe's words were like a bomb exploding in Ding Huan's mind.

How did the other party know he was searching for the Nine Heavens? Could it be they were not interested in his Divine Will, but knew he came from the fragmented world that had once split from the Nine Heavens?

That was impossible, he had never disclosed his origin.

Fortunately, Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique and was prepared in advance, so despite his shock, there was no sign of disturbance in his Daoist Rhythm.

At that moment, a telepathic message reached Ding Huan's ears: "Junior Brother Lao Liu, I am Rong Xiyu from Yihai Palace. The words Bing He brought to you are the truth.

You must have heard of the Nine Heavens, the true Great Dao world, with rules higher and more complete than those of the Pangu Great World. I have accidentally discovered the location of the entrance to the Nine Heavens..."

Rong Xiyu couldn't help but telepathically communicate with Ding Huan, as he had been observing Ding Huan's demeanor and the fluctuations of his Daoist Rhythm.

No matter what Luo Binghe said, Ding Huan remained unswayed, even the Nine Heavens failed to entice him, leaving Rong Xiyu no choice but to intervene personally.

In fact, after Ding Huan had won against Luo Binghe, Rong Xiyu had set his sights on him.

An overindulgent individual shouldn't have been able to win against Luo Binghe.

Upon entering the Battle Arena, he had intentionally followed Ding Huan and tested him with the Pure Yang Mirror.

While queuing, Ding Huan did indeed feel intense scrutiny, but in the queue, such probing was normal, so he didn't care.

Rong Xiyu had not been able to deduce Ding Huan's Daoist Rhythm with the Pure Yang Mirror, but unexpectedly discovered that Ding Huan's Immortal Essence Qi was surging powerfully, certainly not characteristic of someone overindulgent.

Then he witnessed Ding Huan's battles in the third and fourth rounds. After the third battle, he even thought about those ancient powerhouses who had emerged from the Nine Heavens.

Ding Huan's performance was strikingly similar to them.

Therefore, regardless of the reason, Ding Huan was someone he simply had to take away.
