"Can I borrow this gourd for a while?" Ding Huan observed with his divine will; this gourd seemed extraordinary.

He had suffered losses with Chaos Treasures before, so to study this gourd, it must be done within his Chaos Law Sea.

If someone had tampered with this gourd, it would be troublesome if his divine will suffered from it.

As long as it was within his Chaos Law Sea, even if there were tricks with the gourd, he wouldn't fear them.

Ji Sixin laughed, "Brother Ding, since I chose to recognize you as a brother, naturally I want my brother to offer guidance. I took this gourd out for you as a gift."

Ji Sixin, upon seeing Ding Huan easily dispel the Taoist Rhythm left by King Jiangjian on Di He, knew that Ding Huan's understanding of the Heaven and Earth Rules and the Laws of All Things was the greatest she had ever seen.

Only someone like Ding Huan had the chance to unlock the secrets of this gourd.

When she obtained the gourd and discovered it had been refined by someone else, she didn't dare to even infiltrate her divine will into it.

Ding Huan was delighted, casually sending a few restrictions onto the gourd and storing it away in his world.

"Brother Ding, are you planning to go to the Chaos Center in the future?" Ji Sixin asked promptly.

This was the primary question she wished to ask after handing over the gourd.

Ding Huan nodded, "Indeed, I do plan to go. Of course, that's something after I take the seventh step of the Great Dao."

"Brother Ding, if you plan to go to the Chaos Center, I suggest you search for a few reliable friends; it's best if they are powerful too.

I also hope to follow Brother Ding in order to gain some insights; my strength is relatively weak, but I've been in the World of Gods for a long time and know some things about it."

Ding Huan pointed to Di He beside him, "This is Di He, who has reached the seventh step of the Great Dao. If I go to the Chaos Center in the future, my younger brother will follow me.

Should I step into the seventh step, the two of us together, even if there's a Daoist master at the eighth step there, we have the opportunity to defend ourselves."

Ji Sixin hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Ding, I suggest you find two more partners. Of course, it's best if Senior Di He goes along."

Di He showed no expression; even he could hear that Ji Sixin actually didn't think highly of him.

Who made him so mediocre?

He was even cut in half by King Jiangjian?

The enmity must be avenged, but the disgrace is already there.

In Ji Sixin's eyes, Di He was just a rookie.

"Oh, is it Zhu Xunjiang?" Ding Huan asked.

He didn't actually favor Zhu Xunjiang much.

Though this guy was also a Master of the Universe, he lacked the foundation of King Jiangjian.

If Zhu Xunjiang had fought against Di He instead, Di He wouldn't have been so miserably tormented.

Ji Sixin shook her head, "No, Brother Zhu would not cooperate with you, and it's impossible for me to bring up such a thing before him."

It was a joke to suggest collaboration between Zhu Xunjiang and Ding Huan; the first thing they'd do upon meeting was surely fight.

The friendship between Zhu Xunjiang and her was based not merely on emotional ties.

More importantly, her and her father's assistance to Zhu Xunjiang had been exerted to the utmost.

Otherwise, what made Zhu Xunjiang, a carefree loose cultivator, capable of reaching the seventh step of the Great Dao?

Unfortunately, her relationship with Zhu Xunjiang was limited to the level of mere friendship, without bonds of interest.

It was a one-sided effort on her part, with Zhu Xunjiang as the guarantor for her Trading Building of Gods.

Over the years, the Trading Building of Gods remained undisturbed.

Zhu Xunjiang hadn't had the opportunity to intervene.

Only this time, when Qi Sha assassinated the lord of the Gods Hall, did she ask Zhu Xunjiang to stand tall.

Afterward, Zhu Xunjiang prepared to deal with Qi Sha as soon as he heard that Qi Sha might be an imposter, not even bothering to ask for her opinion as the rightful owner.

Logically, regardless of Qi Sha's authenticity, Zhu Xunjiang should confer with her first.

How could he have directly intertwined himself with her adversary Lou Poyi?

Thus, this time Ji Sixin's investment in Ding Huan would absolutely require intertwining their interests.

There is no long-term friendship, only long-term interests.

Ji Sixin had long grasped this business principle over the years.

"Then who is it?" Although Ding Huan had not been in the World of Gods for long, he understood some about those at the seventh step.

Frankly, none of the seventh-step figures in the World of Gods, including King Jiangjian, Jian Zhen, Lou Poyi, Zhu Xunjiang, caught his eye.

"These two are Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu.

They, like yourself, came from outside and were attacked by Lou Poyi's forces, eventually escaping into the Fog Realm outside the World of Gods..."

"Fog Realm?" Ding Huan asked with confusion.

He wasn't new to the World of Gods.

In his understanding, the World of Gods was the central Tao Universe in the vast cosmos.

Clearly, there might be strong figures residing in the Chaos Origin of the World of Gods' center, but that was speculation; he hadn't yet begun researching the gourd Ji Sixin gave him.

Outside the World of Gods lay the myriad Gods Island.

These Gods Island are hidden within some barriers; these barriers are also the Chaos Origin, just concealed by the barriers, hence undiscovered by many.

As for the Fog Realm, he hasn't heard of it and doesn't know that there is a Fog Realm surrounding the World of Gods.

Ji Sixin knows that Ding Huan comes from outside the World of Gods and likely doesn't know about the Fog Realm.

So she explained, "The Fog Realm is actually the Chaos Fog Realm, blocked by a barrier similar to Gods Island.

Unlike Gods Island, the Fog Realm is also locked by barriers, but it is a complete boundary, not a Void Island.

The existence of the Fog Realm is very secretive; ordinary people can't find it, let alone open it.

Years ago, four Masters of the Universe besieged Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, and used a Chaos Treasure. On the outskirts, other Masters of the Universe intercepted them.

Everyone thought Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu had nowhere to escape, when Lan Xiaobu actually opened the barrier concealing the Fog Realm and then controlled the Seven Realms Stone to enter the Fog Realm, disappearing without a trace.

No one is clearer about this than me, because I watched the whole process without missing a single bit."

"Is there an Imaging Crystal?"

Ji Sixin shook her head, "No, at that time the Masters of the Universe in the World of Gods explicitly said whoever dared to record an Imaging Crystal Ball would be directly killed.

Haha, they were probably worried their embarrassing image would spread.

Four Masters of the Universe besieging two people, using all sorts of underhanded tricks, yet still unable to do anything to them.

If this were spread, the status of the Masters of the Universe would plummet."

"Was it the first time Chaos Fog Realm was opened when Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu entered?"

"No, there have always been rumors and notes about Chaos Fog Realm in the World of Gods, but no one has ever discovered it.

This suggests that the barrier outside Chaos Fog Realm has been opened before. But all records of Chaos Fog Realm only have entries without any exits.

It is rumored that the outside of the Chaos Fog Realm is wrapped in a layer of chaotic aura, and anyone who approaches will have their Great Dao immediately chaoticized and lose vitality."

Ding Huan was puzzled, "Daoist Sixin, are you saying Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu had no issues after entering Chaos Fog Realm?"

Ji Sixin confidently said, "They definitely had no issues. I believe in my insight and judgement. If entering Chaos Fog Realm would lead to their downfall, they absolutely wouldn't have entered."

"You hope I will enter Chaos Fog Realm and then seek Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu?"

Ji Sixin nodded:

"Brother Ding, you now enter, I fear there is little hope. I think if Brother Ding steps into the seventh step and wishes to find an opportunity for the eighth step, perhaps Chaos Fog Realm is the best choice.

Don't look at those seventh step powerhouses in the World of Gods, who among them doesn't want to enter Chaos Fog Realm? But they dare not enter.

Previously, they couldn't find the location of Chaos Fog Realm. After Lan Xiaobu opened Chaos Fog Realm, they knew the location of the Fog Realm, but with Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu inside, who dared to enter?"

"Alright, give me the location of Chaos Fog Realm, and after I step into the seventh step, I'll go take a look." Ding Huan said this, but in fact he decided to go to Chaos Fog Realm right after leaving the Chaos Zone.

Who knows how long it would take to reach the seventh step.

Maybe he could bring Guan Huan along.

After all, Guan Huan and Lan Xiaobu are friends, everyone knows each other.

Even Mo Wuji, Guan Huan has mentioned him several times.

Ji Sixin didn't hesitate and took out a Jade Scroll and a Stone Scroll and handed them to Ding Huan:

"Brother Ding, this Jade Scroll is the location of the Fog Realm; this Stone Scroll is the location of the top-grade Dao Vein I acquired.

That Gong Siyi wants my Stone Scroll, but I can't possibly give it to him."

Ding Huan received the Jade Scroll and Stone Scroll and sighed, "No wonder you want to operate the Gods Trading Building; it seems your information is indeed far surpassing others."

This is true.

Information is capital, and this phrase holds in the Tao Universe as well.

Ding Huan doesn't know how Ji Sixin obtained these things.

Surely Ji Sixin also paid a high price.

Ji Sixin now entrusting him with everything, wanting to invest in him.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Ji Sixin sighed:

"My father often says I prove Dao through commerce outside; I also say so, but Brother Ding knows the real situation."

Ding Huan understood Ji Sixin's meaning.

Ji Sixin operating the Gods Trading Building can access some top treasure information in the World of Gods and easier acquire some treasures compared to others.

Like the previously auctioned Dao Pearl and Chaos Law Liquid.

If Ji Sixin wishes, these things can all be taken by Ji Sixin before the auction.

Proving Dao through commerce is a guise; these cultivation resources and information are Ji Sixin's best opportunity to prove Dao.

"If that's the case, then let's go." Ding Huan put away the items and summoned the Cosmic Pot.

After Ji Sixin and Di He boarded the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan took out that Stone Scroll.

The first important thing now is to find the top-grade Dao Vein and then obtain Chaos Law Pulp.

After Di He boarded the Cosmic Pot, he began to seclude himself to heal. His injuries are indeed very severe.

When obtaining Chaos Law Pulp, it is highly likely to conflict with those Masters of the Universe. If his injuries are too severe, he shouldn't go.
