Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation
Chapter 740 - 733: Sunset Arrow
"Ding Huan, we're heading back to the Sect. Do you want to enter Star Land with us?" Gan Shi Jian showed great admiration for Ding Huan.
Normally, if some Loose Cultivator boarded their ship back to Star Land, he would not say much.
But Ding Huan knew a lot and was considerate of his feelings while speaking. Although they hadn't met each other late, Ding Huan still seemed to be a good friend.
He genuinely hoped Ding Huan would join the Nirvana Sacred Path Sect.
As Ding Huan was about to speak, he suddenly sensed Wu Liang's aura slowly approaching. He had poisoned Wu Liang with Bone Poison, and it was clearly not removed yet.
This guy wanted to shake him off, but he was already a step ahead and reached Void Divine City.
"Brother Gan, I plan to take a look around Void Divine City. You go back to Star Land first." Ding Huan was here specifically for Wu Liang and would not let this guy go.
"Alright then, we'll go first. If you ever need my help, just send a message to Nirvana Sacred Path. If you want to join Nirvana Sacred Path, make sure to tell me first. I'll come to get you."
Gan Shi Jian said with heroic spirit.
Ding Huan expressed his gratitude once again.
After Gan Shi Jian and his group left, Ding Huan departed from this Void Square.
When he returned, he was transformed into a slightly hunchbacked hermit cultivator. Even the Breaking Tribulation Blade, always hanging on his back, was put away.
At this moment, not only had Ding Huan's appearance changed, but even his aura had transformed.
Void Square of Chunyi Divine Realm was grand and magnificent, serving not only as a resting place for cultivators but also connected to a Void Divine City.
Ding Huan felt Wu Liang's aura getting closer continuously. He estimated that it would take one or two more hours to reach this Void Square.
During this time, he could wander around Void Divine City.
Ding Huan entered Void Divine City through the passage from Void Square.
As for entering Chunyi Divine Realm, he was not in a hurry, for he came here to eliminate Wu Liang.
All other matters would be dealt with after taking care of Wu Liang.
Though Chunyi Void Divine City was located within the Void, its prosperity was not much less than Dao Ruins Street of the Three God Lands.
As soon as Ding Huan entered Chunyi Void Divine City, his Divine Will sensed numerous powerful beings.
In the God Unification Realm, they seemed as common as dirt; Ding Huan could spot one from time to time under his Divine Will.
Even Quasi-Saint Realm cultivators could occasionally be seen.
Most importantly, Ding Huan felt he had seen a true Saint.
In terms of aura field and Great Dao momentum, they were incomparable to the likes of Ku Yuan, a false saint.
While Ding Huan's Divine King Realm was considered top-tier in the Three God Lands, here they were too many.
Even if he didn't hide his cultivation, a Divine King would not stand out here.
Ding Huan dared not casually scan with his Divine Will, as there were simply too many strong cultivators here. Sourced directly from MV6LEMP6YR.
In the entrance of Chunyi Void Divine City, there was also a square within the Divine City.
In the middle of the square were some illusory steps that amazed Ding Huan; his Divine Will couldn't even scan them.
Beside these illusory steps was a massive ranking Divine Array.
He didn't open his Spiritual Eye to observe the illusory steps since there were too many people around.
His gaze fell beside these steps, where there was a huge floating stone tablet.
The stone tablet contained text introducing the Void Steps.
"Void Steps, constructed by Chunyi Daoist Ancestor Quan. The Void Steps have a total of 107 steps; stepping on the steps has nothing to do with cultivation. Those reaching above the 72nd step have the Saint's Root..."
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the ranking Big Array next to it.
First place, Ji Bucheng.
What surprised Ding Huan wasn't that Ji Bucheng was first, but the number of Void Steps behind Ji Bucheng—105 steps, from Baihe Sword Dao.
Isn't Baihe Sword Dao the Divine Sect that Gan Shi Jian disdained earlier?
The Void Steps had only 107 steps in total, yet this guy had climbed to the 105th step; that's truly impressive.
Ding Huan found it impressive because the second place only reached the 76th step.
In total, only five people managed to step above the 72nd step.
Ji Bucheng left the second place far behind.
While Ding Huan was observing the Void Steps, someone attempted to challenge them.
However, the best they could do was reach the 51st step.
On the surface, there seems to be little difference between the 51st and 72nd steps.
In fact, each step of the Void Steps is a separate level.
Ding Huan had no intention to challenge these Void Steps.
According to Tian Gang and Di Sha numbers, it should be 108 steps.
The Void Steps have only 107 steps, clearly one step short.
And since this Magical Treasure was brought by Quan, he wasn't interested in using someone else's Magical Treasure to test his ability to climb Void Steps.
No matter how powerful Quan was, he was just a postnatal cultivator.
Just like Xing Ga trapped in his Sea of Consciousness Universe, probably an impressive being back then, yet now not different from a grandson in his own world?
Ding Huan turned and walked into Void Divine City.
Perhaps because it was built within the Void, Chunyi Void Divine City's streets were very wide, and various shops were bustling with activity.
In the most eye-catching place of Void Divine City, stood a building taller than ordinary Trading Buildings.
Floating in front of the building were large characters spelling out 'Duyi First Commercial Building'.
Such arrogance.
Writing 'Duyi First Commercial Building' here shows that not only does this Trading Building have a strong backing, but its strength must also be extraordinary.
When Ding Huan walked into the Trading Building, he saw a massive Jade Tablet at the entrance.
The jade tablet lists the top treasures sold by the Chunyi First Trading Building over the years.
Ranked number one is a Big Tripod, the Chunyi Holy Tripod.
The seller commissioning the sale is surprisingly the Taoist Ancestor Quan.
Only the buyer wasn't specified.
After that, either it was a Heaven Creation Technique or an Innate Treasure, or perhaps a Chaos Dao Fruit…
Ding Huan clicked his tongue silently in awe; this Chunyi First Trading Building truly lives up to its name.
Ordinary people wouldn't get a hold of even one of these items, yet Chunyi First Trading Building actually managed to sell so many of them.
When Ding Huan's gaze fell on the 'Sunset Arrow', he couldn't look away.
Judging by the timeline on this jade tablet, the Sunset Arrow was auctioned off by Chunyi First Trading Building a thousand years ago, but the buyer isn't mentioned.
Ding Huan frowned as he stared at the jade tablet.
He certainly couldn't go asking the trading building who bought the Sunset Arrow.
Even if he asked, the trading building wouldn't tell him.
But he's already determined to acquire the Sunset Arrow.
Even though he hadn't tested the Falling Star Arrow yet, after refining the Heaven and Earth Bow, the powerful heavenly aura made him understand that shooting this arrow, even a Saint would have to be wary.
Previously, when Wu Liang escaped, he had no chance to unleash the Heaven and Earth Bow; otherwise, how could Wu Liang have escaped?
Ding Huan wandered around the trading building with a mind full of thoughts; indeed, this trading building holds everything, especially top-tier treasures.
Including some Tao Fruits.
Hold on, Ding Huan suddenly thought of something.
The trading building displayed all these items, indeed enhancing its foundation, letting people know that Chunyi Trading Building has phenomenal power, and can sell anything.
Yet it also creates immense instability when encountering people like him.
Whenever someone sees a treasure they covet, they will inevitably investigate its origins.
Just like now, he's keen to know who bought the Sunset Arrow.
This plainly increases slaughter and hatred.
And then...
Ding Huan shuddered.
If he went everywhere asking about the Sunset Arrow, even a fool would suspect whether he possesses the Heaven and Earth Bow.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Ding Huan was thinking uncertainly about the Sunset Arrow when a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
Standing in front of him was a thin woman.
The woman's cultivation seemed to be at the Heavenly God Realm, and her Dao Rhythm was quite mottled, clearly a wandering Loose Cultivator.
"What do you need?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled, looking at the thin woman in front of him.
The woman handed a jade scroll to Ding Huan, "Fellow Daoist, could you check if the contents of this are of any use to you?"
Ding Huan took the jade scroll with a curious look; the first page of the jade scroll clearly recorded the history of the Chunyi Holy Tripod.
This Holy Tripod is a Heavenly Creation Treasure, owned by Taoist Ancestor Quan.
Later, Taoist Ancestor sold this treasure via Chunyi First Trading Building, purchased by a mysterious gray-clothed person.
Ding Huan immediately understood that his interest in the jade tablet had been captured by someone.
There should be people specifically monitoring the area, checking who might be interested in the treasures sold.
The frail female cultivator in front of him was just their first step.
If the buyer of this jade scroll was ruthless and powerful, the other party would earn a fee for information sales.
If the buyer was an outsider like him, the next step would likely involve tracking him to see what he truly wants, and whether he possesses anything valuable.
Looking further into the next content, the origin of the second treasure was unsurprisingly enshrouded in restrictions.
It's a Ninth Level Divine Restriction.
However, it's fortunate that Ding Huan is an Array Dao expert capable of breaking through Divine Restrictions.
Back when he aimed to unlock Lao Ga's stone scroll, he spent years researching and breaking Forbidden Patterns.
This Ninth Level Divine Restriction is formidable, but to Ding Huan, it was just this; completely incomparable to Lao Ga's restrictions.
Without hesitation, he constructed a Great Universe Cycle, breaking the restriction on the jade scroll in hand within a few breaths, copying all the information inside.
"Does fellow Daoist need this item?" The thin woman eagerly asked Ding Huan.
Ding Huan returned the jade scroll to the woman, looking perplexed, "This seems to record the origins and sources of treasures from Chunyi First Trading Building, what would I need it for?"
Finishing this sentence, Ding Huan instantly realized something.
How could ordinary cultivators obtain such information?
This is definitely something leaked from Chunyi First Trading Building.
Otherwise, who else would be capable of knowing who bought these things?
Chunyi First Trading Building is like selling fish and then fishing!
Seeing Ding Huan returning the jade scroll apparently looking puzzled, the frail girl seemed a bit disappointed.
Ding Huan knows buying the jade scroll would earn the frail girl a commission, but he wouldn't let his sympathy compel him to buy it.
This is a matter of life and death, he wouldn't take such a risk.
Watching Ding Huan leave, a sinister man in a corner slightly frowned.
How could he be mistaken?
Ding Huan's demeanor and aura concerning the jade tablet clearly showed he was interested in one of the treasures.
Ding Huan didn't check his copied jade scroll; he hastily left Divine City, heading to Void Square, sensing that in no more than an hour, Wu Liang would arrive here.
