Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation Chapter 1180 - 1173: One of the Five Ancestors

After Ye Xuan cultivated to the extre, the Great Dao stagnated and he was ultimately trapped by the Slave Dao Sword.

If he hadn't helped Ye Xuan reverse the Slave Dao Sword, stripping away the Great Sword Dao Technique and a drop of Essence Blood, Ye Xuan would likely have been enslaved by now.

Not only that, he, together with Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji, managed to strip off the Dao Imprint on Ye Xuan, allowing him to be reborn.

Today, he unexpectedly saw a similar aura to the Great Sword Dao Technique again.

This aura was perating from the long sword in the hands of a man in the distance.

This guy, even if he wasn't the one who hard Ye Xuan, must have a direct connection.

However, at this mont, the man seed extrely thin, like a withered vine, and his aura seed to be resisting sothing beneath the Nine Heavens alongside Han Ze.

Ding Huan swept his Divine Will over, and imdiately discovered the issue.

On the reef where the man was, gray Dao lines as thin as hair continuously extended, carrying an extre thirst for vitality.

But the Dao lines were full of the withered aura of a decaying Great Dao; once touched, the Great Dao would scatter and the flesh would collapse.

Endless Dao lines continuously wrapped around the man, seemingly trying to entrap him completely onto the reef and absorb all the vital aura from him.

The man on the reef was naturally unwilling to have his vitality corroded and his Great Dao eroded like this, so Sword Qi kept emanating from his body, cutting off the Dao lines trying to entrap him.

However, though he was cutting them quickly, the Dao lines erged even faster.

No matter how he cut the gray Dao lines, they quickly grew more strands to bind him again.

This created a strange equilibrium.

Unless the man could cut off all the gray Dao lines extending from the depths of Han Ze all at once, he would be trapped in perpetual repetition here.

Honestly, the fact that this guy could hold out until now showed that he had so skill.

This served as a warning to Ding Huan not to stand casually on the reefs of the Nine Heavens alongside Han Ze.

The reason why this man was entangled by these gray Dao lines was likely that he accidentally stood on this reef and was subsequently ensnared.

Since entering the Nine Heavens alongside Han Ze, Ding Huan always thought it was a place devoid of any vital aura.

Except for a few materials containing vast Origin Spirit, he hadn't encountered any living being or object with vitality.

In the sea, there were all kinds of life, but in the Void alongside Han, there truly wasn't anything alive.

Not only was there nothing alive, but as it seed now, there were also gray Dao lines capable of devouring vitality and corroding the Great Dao.

The man on the reef was evidently much stronger in cultivation than him, and even soone like him couldn't escape being entangled by the gray Dao lines; if he were also ensnared by these, how could he possibly escape?

Thinking of this, Ding Huan hurriedly sent a ssage to Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, intending to distance himself.

Regardless of whether Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wuji could receive the ssage, he needed to warn them about such dangerous matters.

"Fellow Daoist, please lend a helping hand." The skeletal man saw Ding Huan actually intending to walk away and hurriedly called out for help.

Though Ding Huan originally had no intention of causing trouble, and even if he did like helping others, knowing the man might be related to the Slave Dao Sword, he chose not to intervene.

If it weren't for the help of a few others, Ye Xuan would probably have ended up as a Sword Slave for the Slave Dao Sword, becoming soone else's slave.

The final outco would undoubtedly be tragic.

Ye Xuan was his friend, hard to such a degree.

How could he assist such a person?

The only reason he didn't attack this guy was that he feared getting entangled by the gray Dao lines himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have minded adding insult to injury.

"Fellow Daoist, I, Sword Heaven, swear here, as long as you help , I will never forget your great kindness..."

Seeing Ding Huan genuinely ignoring him and showing no intention of helping, the man beca anxious.

This was deep within the Nine Heavens alongside Han, even amid the great marsh of Han Ze.

In millions of years, this was the first ti he had seen a living cultivator co here. If he missed Ding Huan, he might never have another chance in his life to see a living cultivator again.

If no one ca here, it ant he could never be rescued.

Sword Heaven?

Ding Huan paused his movent of fleeing.

He had heard of this guy.

One of the five founders of the expansive heavens.

Was the Slave Dao Sword a trap left by Sword Heaven for Ye Xuan?

Logically, a being like Sword Heaven wouldn't do such tasteless things.

Also, as one of the five founders, did Sword Heaven need to do sothing like this? Would he care about a small Sword Slave like Ye Xuan?

It made no sense at all.

Ding Huan carefully thought about what he knew of Sword Heaven.

Unfortunately, besides feeling familiar with Sword Heaven's Sword Dao Dao Rhythm just now, all he knew was a single sentence:

For Sword Heaven, a Dao companion is a sword; won for Sword Heaven are superfluous.

As for everything else, they are even more superfluous.

Would soone like this create a Slave Dao Sword to plot against a minor Ye Xuan?

It didn't seem likely; perhaps there were other reasons involved.

Ding Huan imdiately set up the Genetic Slaughter Law, then once again evolved the Genetic Slaughter Principle.

He arranged the Slaughter Law based on the drop of Essence Blood stripped from the Slave Dao Sword back then.

If the section of finger turned into the Slave Dao Sword was indeed left by Sword Heaven, that Essence Blood was Sword Heaven's, and then this Genetic Slaughter Principle would certainly affect the other party.

As the Genetic Slaughter Principle set up by Ding Huan covered this area of space.

Ding Huan discovered sothing: neither his Genetic Slaughter Law nor the Genetic Slaughter Principle had any effect on Sword Heaven.

In other words, that section of the Slave Dao Sword back then truly wasn't left by Sword Heaven.

"Sword Heaven, how long have you been trapped here?" Ding Huan asked.

As one of the Five Ancestors of the Vast Expanse, Sword Heaven was an unparalleled existence throughout the first universe, and indeed the entire vast cosmos.

Under normal circumstances, soone like Ding Huan, who was akin to an ant, wouldn't even be qualified to speak with him.

However, now, Sword Heaven only longed for Ding Huan not to leave freely and to stay and save him.

"Three million two hundred and sixty thousand years." Sword Heaven almost ntioned the exact number of days, showing how torturous his ti here had been.

Ding Huan mused to himself that it seed unlikely the Slave Dao Sword belonged to Sword Heaven.

When Ye Xuan first acquired the Slave Dao Sword, Sword Heaven had probably already been trapped here for a long ti.

"What Sword Dao do you cultivate?"

Upon hearing Ding Huan ask about his Sword Dao, even while trapped on this rock, Sword Heaven's tone was full of pride: "Vast Primordial Sword Technique."

Ding Huan held a sense of disdain; Vast Primordial Sword Technique, indeed. He thought it was nothing special.

Honestly speaking, if Ye Xuan had enough vast primordial energy, and given Ye Xuan's Vast Dao Spirit Body, the sword path Ye Xuan created would truly be the number one sword path.

"Have you taken any disciples? Or have you passed your Sword Dao onto others?"

Upon hearing this question from Ding Huan, Sword Heaven realized he had previously misunderstood.

Ding Huan seed to be inquiring about sothing, and appeared to have no intention of seeking Sword Dao guidance from him.

Sword Heaven's mood dimd, perhaps knowing that Ding Huan was unlikely to save him.

"During the Five Ancestors Conference, I indeed couldn't refuse and accepted a nominal disciple. I taught him the Primordial Sword Technique and gave him a vast sword principle."

Ding Huan's eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, may I ask the na of the disciple you taught? What is their background?"

Sword Heaven had no intention of hiding: "His na is Tidor. Because soone difficult to refuse recomnded him, I had no choice but to accept him."

"Soone difficult to refuse recomnded? Who exactly is this person?"

Sword Heaven fell silent.

Ding Huan chuckled and turned to leave.

Sword Heaven called out to Ding Huan again:

"Fellow Daoist, if I'm not mistaken, you're heading beyond the Nine Dinsions, right? Without my help, I'm afraid you'll never enter beyond the Nine Dinsions."

Ding Huan stopped once more.

He didn't find Sword Heaven's words strange.

Those entering the Nine Dinsions Vast are either headed beyond the Nine Dinsions or entering to et their doom.

"Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, what do you an by this?"

Sword Heaven's tone softened: "Fellow Daoist, having made it here, you must also be a strong presence. Do you know you need a Magical Treasure and a Divine Skill to enter beyond the Nine Dinsions?"

"Could you enlighten ?" Ding Huan cupped his fists.

Sword Heaven said: "To enter beyond the Nine Heavens, you must have the Net of Grand Principles. Additionally, you must master the Vast Sword Art."

The Net of Grand Principles?

Isn't that what he took from Di Xin?

That thing is on him right now.

As for Sword Heaven, he seed quite straightforward, not using the condition of saving his life to answer his question.

"Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, tell who recomnded Tidor to study swordsmanship with you. I might consider rescuing you."

Ding Huan wouldn't promise to rescue Sword Heaven just because of his forthrightness.

Sotis, making a poor decision could harm oneself.

If he were to help Sword Heaven, it would have to be after gaining sufficient benefit, ensuring Sword Heaven posed no threat to him.

Sword Heaven hesitated for a mont but then spoke:

"It was Wu Dao, one of the Three Paths. I ca here to find Tidor and retrieve that vast sword principle."

Perhaps he knew that if he didn't speak, he might be stuck here forever.

Wu Dao?

Indeed, how peculiar.

It seems there are quite a few people targeting beyond the Nine Dinsions.

Not just Wu Dao, who has been guarding here; Qi Qitang, searching for the Net of Grand Principles, might also intend to venture beyond the Nine Dinsions.

No, Wu Dao may not be beyond the Nine Dinsions, this guy might be plotting against Ye Sha and Chi Zhou on their path.

Wu Dao is quite insidious, recomnding Tidor to cultivate the Vast Sword Dao with Sword Heaven, likely to enter beyond the Nine Dinsions.

"Fellow Daoist Sword Heaven, may I have a look at your Vast Primordial Sword Technique?"

Ding Huan had seen the grand sword technique inscribed on the Slave Dao Sword, which had so similarities with Sword Heaven's Sword Dao rhythm, and quite a few at that.

Ding Huan felt that if Sword Heaven's Sword Dao was only this much, then Sword Heaven wasn't worthy of being one of the Five Ancestors.

Not only that, but Wu Dao wouldn't covet Sword Heaven's Sword Dao.

It truly wouldn't be considered the Vast Sword Dao.

Sword Heaven didn't hesitate at all and straightforwardly tossed a Dao Scroll to Ding Huan.

To him, without Ding Huan's aid today, he would have no life left to talk about anything else.

(Good night, Fellow Daoist!)
