"I humbly request Mr. Shi for guidance." Ding Huan clasped his hands.

He had a feeling that due to that strong one from the Center of Chaos in the World of Gods taking action against him, he had touched upon what the true Great Dao really is.

As for Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu, not only had they touched upon what the Great Dao is, they were even moving in that direction.

He had to strive to catch up.

If the gap was too wide, Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu likely wouldn't want to join hands with him.

To deal with that presence in the Center of Chaos, being slightly weaker might even drag down one's companions.

Shi Changxing's tone was somewhat ashamed: "My Great Dao is quite ordinary, and my comprehension is actually quite average. Getting to where I am today is entirely due to fortune and a bit of effort..."

Ding Huan knew that Shi Changxing was being modest because if it were just luck and effort, Shi Changxing definitely wouldn't have made it to the Ninth Step of the Great Dao.

How many cultivators exist in the vast universe?

Countless billions of living beings are cultivating, but those who can step into the Ninth Step are few indeed.

To step into the Ninth Step and survive under the universe's great calamities is even rarer.

Shi Changxing was already standing at the top tier.

"The reason I could step into the Ninth Step isn't due to any profound insight or understanding of the Great Dao, but because Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu are my friends.

Those two, since I began cultivating, are the strongest beings I've seen in understanding the Great Dao. Debating with them on the Dao has benefited me greatly... Of course, Mr. Ding probably isn't inferior to Brother Mo and Brother Lan."

Ding Huan didn't interrupt Shi Changxing.

He didn't think he was weaker than anyone. If he were weaker, he wouldn't have made it here.

"In the Fog Realm, many people believe that the Daoist Sage of Speech is far superior to us Great Dao Saints who came through proving the Dao in the weaker rules of the universe.

Mo Wuji believes that's not the case. Although there is an influence, it's not a decisive factor. Moreover, even if one isn't a Daoist Sage of Speech, one can become a Daoist Sage of Speech anew through Slaying Dao.

This not only has no negative impact, but after Slaying Dao, one's insight into the Great Dao can become deeper.

What truly determines the strength of the Great Dao isn't the speech of the Dao, but the origin of the Great Dao.

And Lan Xiaobu believes even more strongly that the speech of the Dao isn't something to be proud of; it can even become a burden.

The Seventh Step from the Great Universe is weak not because of the Dao's speech, but because of the cosmic rules and one's own Great Dao.

It's just that my Great Dao has too many limitations, not counting as one's own Great Dao, so I don't fully understand Brother Mo and Brother Lan's explanations."

Shi Changxing sighed at this point.

His starting point determined his achievements.

Getting here, for him, was almost reaching the ultimate of the Great Dao, going further might be extremely difficult.

However, his daughter, Shi Wanrong, had the chance to surpass him.

Shi Changxing's words were ambiguous, and Ding Huan also didn't fully understand.

Only knowing that the speech of the Dao and non-Dao speech during proving the Dao doesn't greatly affect the strength of the Great Dao.

Shi Changxing himself didn't quite understand this concept thoroughly; how could he explain it to Ding Huan?

One point Ding Huan agreed with Shi Changxing was that the origin of the Great Dao decides the strength of the Great Dao.

That strong one in the depths of Chaos was the one who controlled the definitions of the Great Dao rules.

While he was cultivating, he borrowed the creation rules at the time of vastness and cultivated the laws of the creation of the Great Dao.

The rules others cultivated were leftovers played by him, is he not stronger than others?

If his world of the Great Dao's Heaven and Earth Rules weren't all created by himself, even if he burned up all his Dao Rhythm and Essence Blood, he still might be unable to escape that hand seal.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu must have realized this too, so they planned to trace back the origin of the Great Dao and then change their own Great Dao.

It's just that Shi Changxing has insufficient understanding in this aspect to explain it clearly.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan asked again: "Is what you mentioned about the Creation Dao Law related to the origin of the Great Dao?"

Shi Changxing nodded: "Yes, I estimate that Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu intend to seize the Creation Dao Law to reshape the Great Dao."

"How do we find Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu?"

Ding Huan was very aware that his own Great Dao also had issues.

Strictly speaking, it's not that his Great Dao has problems, but if he intends to confront that strong one in the World of Gods, his current Great Dao height probably isn't enough.

This isn't a matter of realm level; even if he proves the Dao of the Ninth Step, it's still lacking somewhat.

Thus he also wished to witness the Creation Dao Law.

Shi Changxing seriously said: "Precisely what I wanted to say, seizing the Creation Dao Law isn't easy.

It requires at least several hundred Seventh Step strong ones to act together, only then can one get through the Endless Void to approach the origin space of the Creation Dao Law."

"Several hundred Seventh Step?" Ding Huan looked at Shi Changxing incredulously, was he misspeaking?

Shi Changxing assuredly nodded: "Yes, several hundred Seventh Step. Don't be misled by the fact that there are only several dozen Seventh Step strong ones in Ducheng, but in places like the Fog Realm and Ducheng, there are many.

After the Creation Dao Law appeared, almost everyone longed to seize it, so they joined forces to go together. I'm not a Daoist Sage of Speech, so I don't even have the qualification to go."

"Are Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu Daoist Sages of Speech?"

"They're not either, but they can crush Daoist Sages of Speech, so they have the qualification to go."

Ding Huan stayed silent, understanding that the Fog Realm's strength far exceeded that of the World of Gods.

He always felt there were similarities between the Fog Realm and the World of Gods, never expecting such a number of Seventh Step figures to be hiding in the Fog Realm.

Are all these Seventh Steps aware there's an unparalleled strong one in the World of Gods, hence they're afraid to go?

"Then wouldn't we be facing nine deaths and one life going over there?" Ding Huan frowned after sorting out these matters.

Shi Changxing shook his head: "No, it should be ten deaths and no life."

So I would like to ask Mr. Ding to wait for me for a while. After I send my daughter out, I will come to find Mr. Ding, and we can go together to seek the Creation Principles."

In Shi Changxing's heart, Ding Huan, Mo Wuji, and Lan Xiaobu were the same kind of people.

Even if it meant certain death, Ding Huan would definitely go.

Shi Changxing would fight as well. Rather than staying here in such a stifling situation, it was better to follow Ding Huan and try his luck.

"Are there a limited number of Creation Principles?"

Shi Changxing shook his head, "I don't know, but even if there are, they definitely aren't many."

Ding Huan didn't ask further. He was considering the use of the Creation Principles.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu must already know that the Creation Principles are related to the origin of the Great Way.

To become someone who defines the Great Dao Rules of the Vast Universe, one must obtain the Creation Principles.

That way, one can stand on the same level as the existence at the center of Chaos in the World of Gods.

Unfortunately, he knew too little and couldn't be sure if this was the case.

Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu went with hundreds of others, sharing the risk.

He and Shi Changxing going alone, if what Shi Changxing said was true, it would almost certainly be a death trap.

Knowing it's certain death, and still going?

He's not that foolish.

Even if he had to go, it couldn't be now. At the very least, he had to wait until his Great Dao advanced another level.

As for what Shi Changxing said about seeing Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu before deciding whether to enhance his cultivation, he ignored it.

He would decide the direction of his own Dao. He knew when to listen to others, and when not to.

If he even let others decide the direction of his Dao, then the advent of the Great Universe Technique wouldn't exist.

With this in mind, Ding Huan said, "Mr. Shi, tell me where the best place to enhance cultivation is. I plan to go into seclusion for a while.

While I'm in seclusion, you can take your daughter out of the Fog Realm. I have an island on the outskirts of the World of Gods where you can take your daughter to cultivate."

With that, Ding Huan took out the Void Position Map of Blue Star Island and the Barrier Jade Talisman, handing them to Shi Changxing.

Shi Changxing was delighted; he hadn't expected Ding Huan to own a Gods Island.

He had been worrying about where to send Shi Wanrong.

"Mr. Ding, thank you. After my daughter stepped into the Third Step of the Creation Realm, she unexpectedly awakened a Chaos Dao Body. Wen Shi wanted to use my daughter's Chaos Dao Body to merge the Creation Principles, which is why he imprisoned her..."

Chaos Dao Body?

Ding Huan thought of Geng Yuan; this guy also had a Chaos Dao Body.

As Shi Changxing spoke, he took out a Direction Ball and handed it to Ding Huan, "I'm the only one who knows about this place; I discovered it by accident.

Although I haven't cultivated there, I feel this place is very suitable for your seclusion.

Because I discovered this place, I returned to Ducheng late and missed seeing Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu."

If Mo Wuji and Lan Xiaobu were around, no matter how strong Wen Shi's influence was in Ducheng, if they joined forces, Wen Shi wouldn't dare imprison his daughter.

"Alright, thank you. My seclusion time is uncertain, so you don't have to rush to find me. There's a supreme powerhouse in the World of Gods; it's best not to go there unless necessary."

Ding Huan casually reminded, always feeling like he was missing something.

He needed to find a quiet place to organize the direction of his Dao and plan carefully.

Without Ding Huan's reminder, Shi Changxing wouldn't foolishly go to the World of Gods seeking death.

After parting with Shi Changxing, Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Pot and headed to the place Shi Changxing had mentioned.

Half a year later, Ding Huan stopped.

In front of him was an unremarkable body of water.

Such places were everywhere in the Fog Realm.

Each body of water had different Heaven and Earth Rules.

Ding Huan landed outside this body of water, and with a sweep of his Divine Will, he could tell there were traces of the Protecting Array arranged by Shi Changxing.

Not only that, but there was also a natural barrier outside this water area.

Could such a place be the location for enhancing seclusion?

Ding Huan was a little puzzled; without even using the Jade Talisman given by Shi Changxing, he directly raised his hand and tore apart the barrier here.

When Ding Huan saw a void with a floating giant stone, he immediately understood the meaning of Shi Changxing's words.

On the surface, this looked like a body of water, but inside it wasn't water at all; it was a void.

In the Fog Realm, the appearance of a void wasn't surprising; the surprising part was that the Heaven and Earth Rules of this void were almost pristine.

Although it couldn't be said to be a Lawless Space, it was not far off.

The most valuable part was probably that giant stone floating in the void.

The reason Shi Changxing didn't take this giant stone was likely that he planned to return here for seclusion.

Now that he had to send his daughter away, he let Ding Huan have the place.

Ding Huan was quite satisfied; this void spanned over a dozen miles, and the giant stone floating in it was a hundred feet wide.

In such a place, reshaping his Great Dao was perfect.

Ding Huan began to arrange barriers.

Whether it was the restriction arranged by Shi Changxing or the original barrier, in Ding Huan's eyes, it wasn't sufficient.

(Goodnight, fellow Daoist!)
