Ding Huan reappeared in the void, and upon turning back, he noticed that the whirlpool had long vanished.

However, this did not deceive Ding Huan. He knew clearly that the void whirlpool still existed in the original spot, merely hidden by a position realm.

Indeed, knowledge determines the limits of one's vision.

What appears nonexistent in your eyes may merely be beyond the level your vision can perceive.

Ding Huan ignored the whirlpool and released his Divine Will.

With his sensitivity to the Heaven and Earth Laws and his understanding of the Source Principle, he immediately realized that this was a different plane from where he had previously been.

Yet the rule level of this cosmic void was not weaker than that of the void where the World of Gods was located.

Moreover, the rules were entirely different, with no common ground that Ding Huan could find.

It seems that there is more than one advanced plane in the vast universe.

Originally, he thought that only the plane where the World of Gods was located was an advanced cosmic plane, but that was merely because he hadn't found the others, not because they didn't exist.

According to Ding Huan's perception, there were no traces of cultivators' activities in this cosmic void.

Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot. His Big Calculation Skill could roughly calculate Qu Yi's whereabouts, although it couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

Having a rough direction was sufficient for Ding Huan.

It took a full ten years before the Cosmic Pot finally ceased its movement.

At this moment, a colossal planet appeared within Ding Huan's Divine Will; it was a planet teeming with life.

Although Ding Huan's Divine Will couldn't cover this colossal planet, it was certain that compared to the World of Gods, this planet was still insignificant.

The Big Calculation Skill calculated that Qu Yi was on this planet.

Outside of this planet was a barrier, not a position realm.

Ding Huan controlled the Cosmic Pot to charge towards this planet.

As he approached the planet, another colossal planet appeared at the edge of his Divine Will again.

Just another life-rich planet, also wrapped by the Star Protection Barrier.

This puzzled Ding Huan; two life-rich planets together?

He specially controlled the Cosmic Pot to orbit the outskirts of the void for a month and, indeed, discovered a third colossal planet.

These three planets stood apart in the void, seemingly guarding each other.

Ding Huan found this quite rare.

Even the Fog Realm and the World of Gods were separated by a realm.

In normal cosmic planes, life-rich planets are hardly positioned so close, forming horns.

Ding Huan thought of the Fog Realm.

In the Fog Realm, countless independent spaces with Heaven and Earth Rules can coexist without interfering with each other, let alone three independent life-rich planets in the void here?

Ding Huan soon dismissed these thoughts and once more controlled the Cosmic Pot closer to the first colossal planet.

Qu Yi was on this planet.

Outside this planet was a void square spanning ten thousand miles, hovering above it were four Taoist Rhythm large characters: Tongti Star Land.

Ding Huan refrained from controlling the Cosmic Pot to enter the void square, collecting it when still far from entering.

He planned to switch to an ordinary Flying Divine Artifact.

Under Ding Huan's Divine Will, the distant void square was lined with bustling shops, bustling with human activity.

Clearly, this was a planet with an extremely dense commercial atmosphere.

Not only that, Ding Huan discovered another strange phenomenon.

That was that the cultivation differences between cultivators on this void square were great.

In the World of Gods, even those who are quite weak are on the verge of stepping into the Quasi-Saint realm.

It's not that there are no cultivators with very weak cultivation, but they are few and far between.

Even if there are, they are usually led by stronger figures.

In the World of Gods, the cultivation differences among cultivators aren't very apparent.

Here, there are even cultivators who have just stepped into the Nurturing God level.

Yet, the Ninth Step of the Great Dao Eternal Saints also exist; Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned one.

This one had completed the Ninth Step of Taoist words, not like Shi Changxing whose Great Dao Rules were incomplete.

At least within the World of Gods, besides Di He, Ding Huan truly hadn't seen a second one completing the Taoist words' Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Just seeing one on this void square indicates that entering the Star Land won't be limited to only one.

Ding Huan did not hide his cultivation. He cultivated the Great Universe Technique and derived his Source Principle within his own world.

If he wanted, no one could discern his true strength.

Unless the opponent could fully understand his Great Dao Rules.

This was, in fact, impossible.

Ding Huan intended to control the Flying Treasure to enter the void square but felt something was amiss.

He couldn't identify exactly what was wrong.

Even ones who completed the Taoist words' Ninth Step of the Great Dao didn't faze Ding Huan.

But before he found Qu Yi, he truly wished to avoid unnecessary complications.

Since he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

The only thing Ding Huan could do was to harmonize his Taoist Aura with this cosmic plane.

This posed no difficulty for Ding Huan.

After merely a few cycles of the Great Universe Technique, the Taoist Aura around him harmonized completely with the Heaven and Earth Rules of this cosmic plane.

At this moment, the Daoist Rhythm around him was like he had been cultivating on this plane, never having left.

Having altered his own Taoist Rhythm aura, just in case, Ding Huan simply utilized the Heaven and Earth Rules here to refine an artifact-grade divine artifact, then used this artifact to enter the void square.

With relief, Ding Huan felt the unease in the depths of his heart suddenly vanish.

It was indeed caused by the Taoist Aura.

This means, the square must have a top-tier magical treasure set up for detecting Taoist Aura, which he hadn't discovered yet.

Ding Huan wanted to find the location of this Taoist Aura detection magical treasure.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a small plaza.

The reason his Divine Will hadn't detected it before was because there was also a distance restriction outside this small plaza.

Only after stepping into this Void Square could one discover this small plaza.

The small plaza spanned only a few kilometers.

Above it were two words: Exotic Realm

Inside the small plaza, there were rows of columns.

Each column was nailed with a cultivator.

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned around for just a moment and knew these cultivators were indeed like him, from their same Cosmic Plane.

Although Ding Huan used Big Calculation Skill to calculate that Qu Yi was not here, he still felt anxious inside.

Because to this Star Land, Qu Yi was considered an exotic.

Even knowing Qu Yi was not here, his Divine Will continued scanning several more times.

Failing to find Qu Yi made him discover a familiar face, Feng Pu.

Feng Pu was the Taoist Ancestor from Tianzi World after the Great Universe underwent re-creation.

Once he arrived at the Great Universe, he removed all the Taoist Ancestor titles, and Feng Pu became one of his Court Pillars.

In Ding Huan's eyes, Feng Pu was still a decent person, at least with a sense of justice, much better than Zhu Qingfeng, the Taoist Ancestor from Fengyu World.

Ding Huan never thought Feng Pu would actually come to this Exotic Realm Plane and end up nailed as an exotic on a column.

If it weren't for searching for Qu Yi, Ding Huan would have already chopped down this so-called Exotic Realm Small Plaza and rescued Feng Pu.

But he can't do that now, at least not until he finds Qu Yi.

Ding Huan's Divine Will continued to search; since cultivators from other planes appearing here would be discovered, there must be a hidden detection artifact for Taoist Aura.

His Divine Will scanned over dozens of times, except for some areas locked by forbidden locks.

No detection artifact for Taoist Rhythm Aura was found to exist.

Could it be he misunderstood?

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned once more above the void in the plaza.

Immediately, Ding Huan retracted his Divine Will.

Above the plaza's void, there was actually a well-concealed Position Realm.

Ding Huan understood right away, the detection artifact for Daoist Rhythm Aura was in the void Position Realm above.

Foreign cultivators coming here would trigger an alarm.

No one probably knew, this detection artifact was lying right above them.

The existence of a Position Realm indicated there was a supreme power here.

Ding Huan took a deep breath, becoming increasingly cautious.

He didn't rashly attempt to enter Tongti Star Land but continued wandering in the Void Square.

As for Feng Pu, rescue him after saving Qu Yi.

There were many good things here, but almost none could captivate Ding Huan.

A day later, Ding Huan had some understanding; entering Tongti Star Land didn't require any Identity Plate, nor did anyone ask for Taoist Crystal or Divine Crystal-like items.

Coming and going, no one cared.

Ding Huan dared not buy anything, including the introduction Jade Scroll.

His Taoist Crystal and Divine Crystal were not from this Exotic Realm Plane, Heaven and Earth Rules differed.

If he were to take them out, it's very possible they would be detected.

Just like before when he entered the plaza, using a Flying Divine Artifact, if he hadn't specially refined one, it might have been discovered.

Sometimes, small details determine success or failure.

First, enter Tongti Star Land and talk later.

An hour later, Ding Huan followed a group of people from the Void Square into Tongti Star Land.

No one stopped him for questioning.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in Tongti Star Land was considered rather thin.

Under Ding Huan's Divine Will, some sects locked by barriers had extremely long-lasting Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and fortunes.

It indicated this thinness was only aimed at loose cultivators.

To obtain a good cultivation environment, one could only enter the great sects.

Ding Huan left the crowd and once again summoned the Cosmic Pot.

He controlled the Cosmic Pot at the fastest speed towards one direction.

In merely one day, Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot.

Before him appeared a quaint Dao Tower.

Outside the Dao Tower was still a plaza, with just as many people around.

Around the plaza were various stalls, like a marketplace.

Ding Huan frowned as he stared at the Dao Tower before him.

This Dao Tower's Dao Rhythm flowed, likely at least a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure; he didn't understand why Qu Yi would be inside this Dao Tower.

Just as Ding Huan prepared to enter the Dao Tower, a gray shadow appeared in the plaza.

Ding Huan's mind skipped a beat, and he immediately retracted his Divine Will.

Luckily, the gray shadow didn't pay attention to Ding Huan.

Could there be a Ninth Step of the Great Dao here?

Ding Huan was certain he didn't see wrong, that gray shadow was indeed the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

That kind of Great Dao aura, even though his Divine Will merely touched briefly before retracting, he could confirm, it was the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

Whether it was the Fog Realm or the World of Gods, Ding Huan never encountered a true Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

The only Eighth Step of Great Dao was built by him.

Even when battling Pang Bozi back then, Pang Bozi was not a Ninth Step of the Great Dao, far from it.
