When Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot stopped again, it was already billions of miles away from the World of Gods' Tao City.

Before Ding Huan were seven steps, each higher than the last, with Dao Rhythm flowing around them, surrounded by a powerful Taoist Aura.

At the end of the steps were buildings hidden in the misty Primordial Energy, evidently a top-tier Taoist Sect.

Above these seven steps, floating from top to bottom, were the three characters 'Seventh Step'.

Ding Huan knew this Taoist Sect, the Seventh Step; it was one of the top ten Taoist Sects in the World of Gods.

Among them was a Seventh Step powerhouse, Xian Qing'an.

Ding Huan stood outside the Taoist Sect, looking at the sect's barrier.

He waited for ten breaths, and if Xian Qing'an did not come out to see him, he would directly enter the 'Seventh Step' Taoist Sect.

"Haha, Mr. Ding, long time no see, a rare guest indeed."

Ding Huan only waited for three breaths before Xian Qing'an's voice came, and soon after, he saw the long-haired Xian Qing'an stepping out from the void.

Despite being the Seventh Step Master of the Universe, Xian Qing'an was extremely wary of Ding Huan.

After all, Ding Huan was someone who could casually deal with Jiang Jianwang and Lou Poyi; Xian Qing'an knew he was no match for either.

"Greetings, Master Xian." Ding Huan cupped his fists.

He had no dealings with Xian Qing'an, but he knew Xian Qing'an was quite smooth and handled matters with great precision.

In his heart, Xian Qing'an was uneasy about Ding Huan coming here, and they had no friendship, only some indirect conflicts, but those conflicts were nothing significant, nor was there any enmity.

He was sure someone like Ding Huan wouldn't appear at the Seventh Step Taoist Sect without reason.

Xian Qing'an quickly returned the courtesy: "Our Seventh Step's top-grade Tao tea is decent; please come in, Mr. Ding, and let me brew tea for you."

"Then I shall impose." Ding Huan was not at all polite, sensing that the Dao Pearl was within the 'Seventh Step' Taoist Sect.

As Ding Huan was about to step onto the Seventh Step, he sensed the Dao Pearl approaching him and saw a man and a woman walking down the steps.

The Dao Pearl was on the man; Ding Huan was certain of it immediately.

"You seem to be called Jia Fan, right?" Ding Huan blocked the man's path.

He recognized the man, and the woman too.

The woman was Xiang Yuanfei, the daoist partner who had cuckolded Geng Yuan from Truth Vault Holy Dao.

Previously, these two were secretive, but now they were openly together.

Jia Fan and Xiang Yuanfei both recognized Ding Huan, and they guessed that his presence here might be related to them.

Especially since Ding Huan was standing with their Dao Master Xian Qing'an.

"Greetings, Dao Master, greetings, Senior Ding." Jia Fan and Xiang Yuanfei hurriedly came forward to pay respects.

Xian Qing'an, also being a Seventh Step, realized immediately upon seeing Ding Huan block sect disciple Jia Fan that Ding Huan must be here for Jia Fan.

Ding Huan and Geng Yuan were quite close, as he had heard.

And Xiang Yuanfei was Geng Yuan's former daoist partner; although they never truly united, Jia Fan's interference in Geng Yuan and Xiang Yuanfei's relationship was a deadly feud.

Even if Geng Yuan no longer wanted Xiang Yuanfei, the hatred between Geng Yuan and Jia Fan was irreconcilable.

Ding Huan coming here was likely to stand up for Geng Yuan.

"Mr. Ding..."

Xian Qing'an wanted to invite Ding Huan into the sect and discuss the matter slowly.

If he allowed Ding Huan to scold Jia Fan here because of Geng Yuan, the name of the Seventh Step would be completely tarnished.

He was also angry at Jia Fan.

You, a promising Saint Cultivator, have ruined your great future for a woman, which is simply inexplicable.

Ding Huan waved his hand, stopping Xian Qing'an's words, turning to Jia Fan and asked, "Mr. Jia, you know I'm Ding Huan, you should know what I need, right?"

He needed the Dao Pearl, as the entire World of Gods knew; this was not a secret but a public matter.

Jia Fan did not seem to have understood Ding Huan's earlier words, subconsciously sharing the same thoughts as Xian Qing'an.

After all, this wasn't the first time Ding Huan had encountered him and Xiang Yuanfei together.

Jia Fan's face turned blue and white, and after a long while, he said, "Xiang Yuanfei and I are like-minded; if a senior insists on taking away Xiang Yuanfei, I, as a junior, cannot say anything."

In terms of age, Jia Fan was much older than Ding Huan.

Yet in this world where strength was revered, Ding Huan was on par with the Seventh Step Master of the Universe, and no matter how powerful Jia Fan's background, he dared not forcibly stop Ding Huan from taking Xiang Yuanfei.

Not only that, he had to present himself as a junior before Ding Huan.

Hearing Jia Fan's words, Xiang Yuanfei's face instantly turned pale.

She realized she was like a fool.

She had heard about Geng Yuan reaching the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.

She had abandoned a rightful Seventh Step daoist partner for a man like Jia Fan, who could discard her at any moment.

Ding Huan said calmly, "I'm not interested in your trivial matters; you know I'm Ding Huan, and naturally, you know I'm collecting the Dao Pearls and Dao Pillars for the Great Dao Disk now."

Hearing this, Xian Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out not to be about Xiang Yuanfei, which made things easier.

The entire World of Gods knew about Ding Huan collecting the Dao Pearls for the Great Dao Disk; it was indeed not a secret.

"Junior understands, as long as the senior instructs, the junior will certainly serve the senior," Jia Fan's tone was very respectful.

Xian Qing'an nodded, although Jia Fan's attitude slightly marred the Seventh Step's reputation.

But who was Ding Huan? He was stronger than himself, and there were no outsiders present, so Jia Fan's words were appropriate.

Ding Huan nodded, "Thank you, please sell me all your Dao Pearls and Dao Pillars. Keeping a small portion does you no good. I will not shortchange you."

When Ding Huan says he won't shortchange, he truly won't.

Whether Jia Fan wanted a top-grade Dao Vein or a Chaos Dao Vein, he could offer it.

Although Jia Fan was a Seventh Step Holy Dao Disciple, the Chaos Dao Vein was still quite distant for him.

Jia Fan froze for a moment, then became convinced that Ding Huan was trying to trick him.

He was certain that no one knew about his acquisition of the Dao Pearls and Dao Pillars, and he had never revealed or mentioned it before.

If that's the case, why would Ding Huan ask him about the Dao Pearls?

Could it be because he had shown interest in the Dao Pearls of the Grand Dao Disc?

It must be that.

Ding Huan had a close relationship with Ji Sixin from the Gods Trading Building, so finding out about his interest in the Dao Pearls wouldn't be difficult.

But Jia Fan wasn't the only one interested in the Dao Pearls. As long as he didn't admit it, Ding Huan would never have evidence.

Thinking of this, Jia Fan looked innocently at Ding Huan, "Senior Ding, I do know that you are looking for Dao Pearls, but I truly don't have any. If I did, I would have brought them out for you by now."

"I can offer you a Chaos Dao Vein or a top-grade Dao Vein..."

Ding Huan spoke calmly.

Whether reasoning worked or not, he must take the Dao Pearls today.

Just hearing about the Chaos Dao Vein made Xian Qingan's eyes widen, as he also desired it greatly.

When Jia Fan heard about the Chaos Dao Vein, his heart twitched violently.

But then he remembered the secret of the Dao Pearls, estimating that no one knew he could gain the supreme Tao Technique 'Heavenly Heart Dao' from one Dao Pearl.

How could he possibly hand over such Dao Pearls?

If one day he could step into the Seventh Step with 'Heavenly Heart Dao,' even Xian Qingan would only be able to look up to him.

"Senior, I really don't have the Dao Pearls of the Grand Disc..."

The moment Jia Fan spoke these words, Xian Qingan knew it was bad. He immediately scolded, "Jia Fan, if you have the Dao Pearls, just bring them out.

These things, one or two, are of no use to you."

He was certain that a being like Ding Huan could not make baseless claims.

Just like him, if he were sure of the existence of something, it was a certainty.

Ding Huan raised his hand and tossed a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure into the void, "Bring out the Dao Pearls, and they're yours. I'll also give you a Chaos Dao Vein."

He truly didn't have time to waste here.

"Senior, I absolutely do not have the Dao Pearls."

With Ding Huan offering such a high price, Jia Fan instead solidified his resolve.

With the Sect Master present, what could Ding Huan possibly do to him, Seventh Step or not?

"Then I apologize."

Ding Huan withdrew his items, raising his hand to seize the void.

A powerful Taoist Aura Domain swept out, and Xian Qingan, who initially wanted to act, immediately halted.

Jia Fan, with slightly lower cultivation, might not even have noticed.

But internally, he was panicking; this Tao Domain was absolutely overwhelming.

Ding Huan's power had grown immensely from before.

He couldn't even come close to matching it.

If he still wanted to live, he better not interfere.

Fortunately, no outsiders saw this. His 'Seventh Step' wasn't entirely disgraceful.

Jia Fan clearly saw Ding Huan's hand seal coming for him, but his body felt as if it were being pinched, completely unable to move.

Then, he watched as his world was effortlessly torn open by Ding Huan.

In his eyes, his sturdy Tao World, was as fragile as paper in Ding Huan's hand seal.

Jia Fan wanted to say he was willing to exchange, but he couldn't utter a single word.

As Jia Fan's world was opened by Ding Huan, the first thing to leap into the eyes of Xian Qingan and Xiang Yuanfei were a dozen exceptionally beautiful women.

"Qi Qing, Li XueEr, Zi Xin..."

Xian Qingan exclaimed in shock, not only were there Seventh Step individuals like himself, but other Taoist Sects' talented missing women were actually in Jia Fan's world.

Ding Huan waved his hand and threw the female cultivators outside, at the same time pulling six Dao Pearls and one Dao Pillar from Jia Fan's world.

"Jia Fan, you, you..."

Xiang Yuanfei pointed at a rusted mirror-shaped Magical Treasure in Jia Fan's world, her hand trembling.

It was the Magical Treasure of her master Zhuo Yi.

Because Zhuo Yi most opposed her being with Jia Fan, she disappeared later in the Chaos Zone, unexpected to find her Magical Treasure in Jia Fan's world.

Even a fool could understand how Zhuo Yi had disappeared.

Ding Huan had no concern for this, turning to leave.

But a cold voice came, "Leave the items, and you won't be leaving here either."

Sensing the familiar Taoist Rhythm of the newcomer, Ding Huan immediately knew who it was, undoubtedly Xin Changkong.
