To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ding Huan changed his flying treasure.

"Brother Ding Huan, the one in red I heavily injured earlier, is probably from the Gods Island or the World of Gods, right? Do you think he might arrive in Wangshen City before us?"

Guan Huan was a bit worried when Ding Huan mentioned a seventh and eighth step on the Great Dao.

His concern wasn't about those two guys, but about the forces behind them.

Ding Huan said without care, "Unlikely. With my flying speed, even if they want to come, it would take them at least a few thousand years.

Even if they have a teleportation talisman or a teleportation array, the time wouldn't be less than a thousand years."

Ding Huan was confident in his research on space laws, not daring to say no one exceeded him, but he was sure there wouldn't be many who did.

From the Cosmic Wall to Wangshen City, whether setting up a teleportation array or using a teleportation talisman, it's also a very difficult task to accomplish.

When the Cosmic Pot came over, it passed through many chaotic void spaces with space rules.

Using a flying treasure to slowly fly over, just being a bit careful is still possible.

If they were to teleport, once they enter the chaotic flow space, it might be tens of thousands of years before they return.

Even if those people are from the Gods Island or the World of Gods, they can only teleport in a small range. Most of the time, they still have to use flying treasures to travel.

Even small range teleportation consumes a large number of top-grade teleportation talismans.

As for setting up a teleportation array, it may only be possible to do it near Wangshen City.

"Even so, we should leave Wangshen City as soon as possible." Guan Huan agreed with Ding Huan's suggestion, but thought it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Of course, if I didn't need some information from the Gods Island, I wouldn't even bother entering Wangshen City, so Lao Guan needs to shapeshift to enter.

Lao Guan, can you do the Heavenly Gang Illusion Technique and Earth Evil Illusion Technique?"

"I use the Primordial Illusion Technique, which can also transform." Jia Baihe said.

Guan Huan said, "I can do some Heavenly Gang Illusion Technique."

Qiao Qianhe smiled awkwardly, "My illusion technique is quite ordinary, not the Heavenly Gang Illusion Technique, so it will probably be easily seen through."

Ding Huan waved his hand, "As long as Lao Guan shapeshifts, it is enough. We don't need it. Lao Guan was exposed before, so he needs to shapeshift to enter Wangshen City."

"Brother Ding Huan, you might also be seen by others." Guan Huan reminded.

"The Cosmic Pot has restrictions blocking it, no one's divine will can penetrate the Cosmic Pot, your worry is unnecessary, Lao Guan.

Lao Guan, you rushed out of the Cosmic Pot and didn't take out that guy in red, which is why you were discovered."

Ding Huan indicated to Guan Huan not to worry.

Not to mention Ding Huan was sure no one saw his appearance.

Even if he was accidentally discovered, Ding Huan wasn't worried.

He was certain that the guy in red really wanted his Cosmic Pot, believing it to be a top-grade supreme treasure.

With the guy's nature, once he sees the Cosmic Pot he would try to snatch it, surely he would slaughter everyone who saw the Cosmic Pot.

Half a day later, Ding Huan controlled an acquired flying spiritual treasure to stop on the void square outside Wangshen City.

Acquired flying spiritual treasures are considered decent flying treasures and they drew a lot of attention.

Ding Huan's divine will quickly swept out, and soon he found that the cultivators here were roughly at the same level as those in the mighty universe.

They should have come from other places.

"Did you all just arrive at Wangshen City?" As soon as Ding Huan put away his flying treasure, a female cultivator approached him.

"Yes." Ding Huan answered succinctly, his divine will continued observing the void square.

Although there were many people in the void square, judging by their aura and demeanor, they were just passing through.

There was no one trading anything here.

The female cultivator immediately asked, "Do any of you have a Dao vein?"

Asking if anyone has a Dao vein right off the bat?

This time Ding Huan didn't answer, his domain covered the female cultivator, and his divine will fell on her.

The fourth step of the Great Dao, supposedly a fourth step Saint without making any declarations.

A regular cultivator out to solicit business at the fourth step of the Great Dao. This place is indeed teeming with experts.

Indeed, once reaching a certain level of cultivation, everyone tends to gather in a specific location.

The female cultivator sensed Ding Huan's cautious attitude and quickly said,

"Don't misunderstand, fellow Daoists, having a Dao vein or not affects the opportunities you can obtain here."

"Please, enlighten us." Ding Huan clasped his hands.

The female cultivator whispered, "If you have a low-grade Dao vein, not only can you reside in Wangshen City, but you can also join Gods Island in the future and undergo cultivation there.

Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I won't take your things alone. As long as you bring a Dao vein and follow me to complete the procedures to enter Gods Island, it'll be done."

"What is the relationship between Wangshen City and Gods Island?"

Although Ding Huan was inquiring, he had already guessed some things.

Back then, Lan Xihuo must have come to this place and then joined Gods Island. Wangshen City is very likely an affiliated void city of Gods Island.

"Wangshen City is an affiliated void city of Gods Island." The female cultivator responded.

"Then staying in Wangshen City now, can we cultivate on other islands in the future?"

Ding Huan continued to ask, estimating that void cities like Wangshen City, on the outskirts of Gods Island, should be numerous.

```

Previously, he and Guan Huan thought that the outskirts of Gods Island had only one Void City, Wangshen City. It seems they were mistaken.

He didn't use the Direction Jade Scroll given by Jing Xizhen, but used the one from Lan Xihuo, so he arrived at Wangshen City.

This way, there's even less reason to worry about that Red-clothed Cultivator.

Isn't it said that the outskirts of the World of Gods has billions of Gods Islands?

If that's the case, there should be many such Void Cities as well.

If they don't go to Wangshen City, they can choose to enter another Void City.

"It's best to enter Gods Island for cultivation. This way, the items you bring forth can yield the greatest benefits."

The female cultivator replied swiftly, and Ding Huan could sense from her change in aura that Gods Island needs people, while Wangshen City sends people there.

If he came here and chose to abandon entering Wangshen City, it might cause more issues.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan refrained from suggesting going to another island: "In that case, let's enter Wangshen City first. Please, lead the way, my friend."

"That's great, please follow me," the female cultivator immediately responded with a smile.

Ding Huan took out a ring and handed it to the female cultivator: "This is a Low Grade Dao Vein, something we've prepared long ago."

"You can give me the Dao Vein now as well," the female cultivator reached out to accept Ding Huan's ring.

But Ding Huan withdrew his hand: "May I ask for your name, fellow cultivator?"

"My name is Li Yue, an external steward of Wangshen City. May I ask for your names?"

It was at this moment the woman inquired about Ding Huan and his companions' names.

Clearly, if Ding Huan couldn't produce a Dao Vein, he and his group wouldn't even be worthy of having their names known.

"I am Ding Huan. May I ask if my Dao Vein allows only me to settle in Wangshen City, or can all of us settle there?"

Ding Huan asked this because Li Yue hadn't made this point clear earlier.

Li Yue was taken aback by Ding Huan's question.

Once the Dao Vein is acquired or Ding Huan follows her into the city, it would definitely be one Dao Vein per person after all.

Especially since Ding Huan hasn't given her the Dao Vein nor followed her into the city yet. How could she respond?

"Mr. Ding, according to the rules, it's one Dao Vein per person. Mr. Ding's Dao Vein is Low Grade, so temporarily, only you can reside in Wangshen City..."

Without hesitation, Ding Huan put away the ring: "I see, thank you, Steward Li. We plan to stay together for now, unfortunately, we only have one Dao Vein between us."

Having said this, Ding Huan once again summoned his Flying Treasure.

Li Yue quickly stopped Ding Huan: "Then, all of you please follow me into the city first, and I'll inquire with the elders."

"That'll work," Ding Huan put away the Flying Treasure, not taking out the Dao Vein again.

Li Yue, seemingly unaware, continued to lead Ding Huan and his companions into the city with a smile.

"Steward Li, may I ask how many Gods Islands are there on the outskirts of the World of Gods?"

"Countless, and they're constantly increasing in number, so no one truly knows."

"The number of Gods Islands is still increasing?" Ding Huan was truly surprised.

Li Yue smiled slightly: "It's normal, even the World of Gods is constantly expanding. Many outer Gods Islands are surrounded by top-tier Void Law Worlds and Void Barriers...

For example, under our Void City, there might be a hidden Gods Island. But the existence of a Gods Island and its discovery are two separate matters.

Our Wangshen Island ranks among the top Gods Islands, with abundant Primordial Energy and supreme Dao Principles.

Many who enter Wangshen Island eventually reach the seventh, even eighth step of the Great Dao..."

At this point, Li Yue looked at Ding Huan: "Mr. Ding, if you can reach the seventh step of the Great Dao on Wangshen Island, and are willing to be loyal to Wangshen Island.

There's a chance to obtain top-tier Dao Techniques and the Secret of Slaying Dao. After acquiring the Secret of Slaying Dao and reconfirming your Saint status, you might have a chance to enter the World of Gods."

Ding Huan was always contemplating the World of Gods.

If the World of Gods is constantly expanding, isn't it similar to his Cosmic World?

In that case, could the center of the Universe lie within the center of the World of Gods, the true Chaos?

As long as the World of Gods expands outward, are the positions of the Gods Islands also constantly extending outward, or are they unchanging with the distance simply decreasing?

After hearing Li Yue's words, he halted his thoughts.

"Steward Li, do you mean that just by reaching the seventh step on Wangshen Island, there's a chance to obtain the Secret of Slaying Dao?"

After asking this, Ding Huan sensed something amiss.

Whether it was Jing Xizhen or Lan Xihuo, both seemed to have returned from Gods Island, preparing to Slay Dao and confirm their Dao.

Because only by Slaying Dao and reconfirming the Dao, there's a chance to enter the World of Gods.

But why does Ding Huan feel somewhat uneasy?

Slaying Dao is a standard cultivation technique, nothing special about it.

He's done it before.

But isn't the Secret of Slaying Dao supposed to be based on one's own Great Dao? Why would it require another's Secret of Slaying Dao?

Things tied to one's Great Dao given by others are surely unreliable.

He could think of this, so could Lan Xihuo not, and could old hand Jing Xizhen not see it?

(Good night, fellow cultivator!)
