"Ding Huan, this magical treasure is amazing." Mo Wuji gave a thumbs up, clearly very impressed with the Cosmic Seal.

Ding Huan chuckled, "It was given to me by someone quite pure-hearted. You must have found something good to linger here."

"Yes, Chaos Universe Silk..." Mo Wuji was quite thrilled; he had been searching for over a year and finally found Chaos Universe Silk.

"Hmm, there's actually a hidden Chaos Barrier."

Ding Huan extended his domain and directly tore through the barrier.

As the barrier was torn, Ding Huan saw the Chaos Universe Silk.

Whether it was Cosmic Silk or Chaos Universe Silk, Ding Huan had never seen it before, it was his first time seeing Chaos Universe Silk.

Inside the barrier were nine threads imbued with the aura of the Vast Path. These threads were almost transparent, appearing and disappearing even under divine will.

Each thread not only carried a boundless Vast Path aura but was also surrounded by a law akin to Heaven Creation Law, seemingly similar to Creation Dao.

"Ding Huan, this is Chaos Universe Silk. You must use the Chaos Forbidden Lock on it, or it will become ordinary Cosmic Silk. There are nine strands here, I only need four..."

Mo Wuji finished and was about to collect the Cosmic Silk.

Ding Huan hurriedly said, "I only need three strands, the rest I have no use for."

After speaking, Ding Huan proactively wrapped up three strands of Chaos Universe Silk with a barrier and sent them into his own Chaos Law Sea.

Mo Wuji wasn't fussy; since Ding Huan didn't need as much, he collected the remaining six strands of Chaos Universe Silk.

After collecting the Cosmic Silk, Ding Huan couldn't help but marvel, "This stuff is incredibly hard to find, yet you managed to find nine strands; your luck is quite something."

Mo Wuji smiled, "Indeed, it's luck. I was tracking those two fellows before."

"Tracking through the chaos, and they didn't notice?" Ding Huan was quite surprised.

Normally, tracking in chaos is impossible. Once your domain touches their chaos domain, you'll be discovered instantly.

Mo Wuji laughed, "There's no way they didn't notice. They pretended not to notice on purpose. I figure they wanted to ambush me.

The reason I was tracking those two was that I witnessed them obtaining a Chaos Dao Vein. This indicates these two must have a method for finding treasures in the chaos.

Their luck really is something. Not long after I started tracking, they discovered the Chaos Universe Silk.

After discovering the Chaos Universe Silk, they immediately wanted to kill me. Realizing I wasn't so easy to deal with, they wanted to capture me alive. They must have thought my Dao was impressive and wanted to take it for themselves.

After finally finding Chaos Universe Silk, I couldn't just walk away, so I called you over to seize these Chaos Universe Silk strands.

Now that the items are in hand, we should leave quickly. I'll take you to a place for seclusion if we can't reach a higher level. Facing those strong ones at the chaos center, we don't stand a chance."

Ding Huan wholeheartedly agreed.

That man and woman must be typical existences in the center of the World of Gods' chaos; even with Mo Wuji, they needed the Cosmic Seal to ambush and deal with them.

It wasn't just Mo Wuji who was hurt; Ding Huan was also injured.

If they encountered top-level experts from the cosmic center, would they have any chance?

Before arriving in the World of Gods, they were able to crush those of the same rank in their plane and Star Land because their Tao Technique outclassed others of the same rank.

They cultivated their own Great Dao, and their Dao Thought and refined Taoism was far superior to ordinary cultivators.

That's why they could easily crush cultivators of the same rank.

But the chaos center of the World of Gods is different. In the chaos center, who among them isn't practicing the Heaven Creation Technique?

Just like He Yan took out the 'Myriad Evolution Great Dao,' a Tao Technique evolved from the universe, if combined with attack methods, it is practically defying the heavens.

These people don't just practice the universal Heaven Creation Technique; even their cultivation resources are either from the chaos or Chaos Dao Veins.

The things they were born with are things that Mo Wuji and Ding Huan had to traverse countless Cosmic Domain planes and face endless life-and-death crises to see.

Therefore, when facing those experts at the chaos center, even if their Great Dao has an advantage, it isn't as significant as it was before.

"Let's go, we should leave the chaos center immediately. I feel staying here too long is not good."

Mo Wuji had a feeling that if they didn't leave quickly, they could end up trapped in the chaos.

…

Mo Wuji and Ding Huan raced out from the chaos center at nearly the fastest speed, and two months later, they left the World of Gods.

Not until they boarded the Cosmic Pot and fled did they both heave a sigh of relief.

"I obtained over a thousand Chaos Dao Veins, I'll give you some." Mo Wuji felt very pleased.

The direction of Great Dao improvement had been determined, they had the Chaos Universe Silk and Chaos Dao Vein; after this seclusion, we'll see if Xin Changkong dares to seek him out.

Ding Huan laughed heartily, "I was just thinking of giving you some. I also have over a thousand Chaos Dao Veins."

Previously, he opened the woman's world and found only a hundred or so Chaos Dao Veins.

But Mo Wuji, opening the male cultivator's world, obtained even more Chaos Dao Veins.

That's why Mo Wuji was thinking of giving some Chaos Dao Veins to Ding Huan for cultivation.

Mo Wuji waved his hand:

"Since we all have the Chaos Dao Vein, there's no need for us to give it to one another. With the direction of the Great Dao, I must perfect my own Great Dao during this seclusion, otherwise, we won't have a chance when we enter the Chaos Center of the World of Gods."

Not only would they have no chance in the Chaotic Center of the World of Gods, but once they met Xin Changkong, he would have even less of a chance.

Mo Wuji hesitated for a moment before looking at Ding Huan and saying, "We've teamed up twice, and through our discussions on the Dao, I've come to understand a bit about it.

Your Great Dao is unyielding and possesses a momentum that swallows the Universe and the Law of All Things. But it lacks an indescribable element, perhaps something akin to continuity, though it's difficult for me to articulate exactly.

During your upcoming seclusion, it would be best to reflect on these issues; perhaps your Great Dao will progress further."

Hearing Mo Wuji's insights, Ding Huan couldn't help but admire him greatly.

Perhaps the bystander truly sees clearly.

Though he and Mo Wuji had little interaction beyond their discussions on the Dao and aiding each other a couple of times, Mo Wuji could already discern the key aspects of his Great Dao.

Yet, it was only after seeing the 'Vast Path' that he realized the deficiencies in his own Great Dao.

This sensitivity and understanding of the Great Dao were the strongest Ding Huan had ever seen, with no competition.

That Xin Changkong chose Mo Wuji as an opponent might lead to future regret.

While the Cosmic Pot sped along, the two continued to discuss the Dao.

Unlike their previous discourse, this time both Ding Huan and Mo Wuji knew the deficiencies in their own Great Dao.

Whether it was the Mortal Dao or the Law Dao, ultimately the Great Dao returns to the essence of the Universe, sharing common ground.

Thus, during this renewed discourse, they both benefitted even more.

Mo Wuji's chosen location wasn't nearby; even at the Cosmic Pot's speed, it took five years of flying before they stopped in a void under Mo Wuji's guidance.

"Is this the Void Canyon?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled as he looked at the void in front of him where nothing was present.

There wasn't even a Barrier here, leaving him uncertain why Mo Wuji chose this place.

Mo Wuji pointed at the void ahead, "It's somewhat of a Void Canyon, but more complete, without the spatial ruptures typical of canyons.

There's a Barrier here, but it's peculiar. Without adding Array Flags, the Barrier doesn't exist.

Once we add the Array Flags, the Barrier will appear automatically. It's hard to say what kind of space this is, but you'll understand once you go in."

As he spoke, Mo Wuji raised his hand and constructed hundreds of Void Array Patterns.

Soon, a Barrier appeared before Ding Huan and Mo Wuji.

Ding Huan sighed privately, the Vast Universe truly had everything.

Even a Barrier that required an outsider to supplement Array Flags to make it complete and visible.

Mo Wuji finding this place was indeed remarkable.

"Let's go in." After opening the Barrier, Mo Wuji's body flashed as he dashed in.

Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot and followed inside.

The Barrier vanished, restoring the void to its previous tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Upon entering the Barrier, Ding Huan felt an exceedingly thin set of Heaven and Earth Rules.

This place was absolutely unsuitable for ordinary cultivators to cultivate.

For Ding Huan, however, it was the most fitting spot for his cultivation.

"Ding Huan, the Dao we cultivate constructs our own Tao Universe. At times, the Taoist Aura will spill out, attracting powerful beings.

This place for seclusion, no matter how significant the disturbance, won't draw in those strong beings. More importantly, further inside, there's a space without rules..."

Hearing Mo Wuji say this, Ding Huan was instantly delighted, "There's a space without rules here?"

Having realized his own Great Dao, Ding Huan understood that a space without rules was indeed the best place for him to retreat and comprehend the Great Universe Technique.

"Yes, going further, the Heaven and Earth Rules become increasingly thin until they disappear entirely.

Back when Lan Xiaobu and I fled here, we lacked deep understanding of the Great Dao, so we didn't cultivate here."

"Wuji, thank you, I really need such a place to refine my Great Universe Technique." Ding Huan was genuinely grateful.

If not for the supreme power deep within the Endless Void, such a space without rules inside the Endless Void is actually the best place for people like them to retreat.

Unable to reach the Endless Void, this place was surely the best choice for a retreat.

Here, he could focus entirely on merging the 'Vast Path' into the Great Universe Technique.

"No need for courtesy between us, I'll head this way, and we can each choose a space for retreat. If either of us finishes in seclusion first, we can leave here."

After finishing, Mo Wuji greeted Ding Huan and quickly departed.

He was even more eager than Ding Huan.

He suspected that Xin Changkong was now searching for him, basing this purely on instinct.

...

Mo Wuji's guess was spot on. As he and Ding Huan entered this Void Canyon, a tall man paused outside the World of Gods.
