242. Chapter 239: Leave Behind Body and Name

Deep within Hidden Jianshan, sealed and locked by his own grand array, Ding Huan had long since treated Hidden Jianshan as his own little plot of land.

Ding Huan took out that iron pot.

If not for this iron pot, Ding Huan suspected he wouldn't have been able to hold on until the Great Universe Art leveled up — what would he have used to withstand that terrifying arc of Lei Jie?

Regardless, he had now advanced to the Star Realm, a Star Realm he had never even imagined before.

His consciousness sea, with the Great Universe Art as its Dao foundation, had formed the embryonic shape of a star system. If even now he couldn't refine this pot, then this pot was just too incredible.

His divine sense settled on the iron pot as the boundless stellar essence force seeped in, and the Great Universe Art began to circulate at the same time.

The surrounding天地 yuan qi once again formed a spiritual vortex around Ding Huan, yet Ding Huan was still bitterly searching for the location of the iron pot's restrictions.

Ten days later, Ding Huan stopped searching for the iron pot's restrictions in utter dejection.

He couldn't even find the restrictions, so how could he refine the iron pot? This was worse than at the very beginning — at least then he could vaguely sense something.

It seemed his Star Realm was still not enough; to refine the iron pot, his cultivation would have to rise further.

He put the iron pot into his pack and carried it on his back.

It seemed he was born to be a pot-carrier — he didn't know how many people's pots he'd already carried.

But even so, Ding Huan had no intention of leaving this pot anywhere out of his sight again.

This pot's tier was still far beyond his estimation; it would absolutely be his great killing weapon and top-tier treasure in the future.

Having reached the Star Realm, it was time to go do some of the things he needed to do.

Tianqi Sect was definitely a place he had to go.

Before going to Tianqi Sect, it was necessary to first wipe out the Twin Soul Sect, and then go to Yanyue Sect to settle accounts.

Having laid out his plan, Ding Huan simply stepped onto his Farewell Spear and shot off toward Twin Soul Sect with a whistle.

On this trip to kill people and annihilate a sect, why keep a low profile?

What he wanted was to cut his way straight through Twin Soul Sect, to leave his name — Ding Huan's — in the Dao Cultivation World.

Only this way would those petty villains dare not covet his Blue Star Sect.

Ding Huan's Star Realm cultivation — not to mention going against the Void God realm — was absolutely stronger than the Primordial Soul realm.

Even if a peak Primordial Soul came, Ding Huan would not fear them in the slightest.

With Ding Huan's current strength, stepping on the Farewell Spear, his speed was even faster than a mid-grade spirit artifact flying ship.

In just half a day's time, Ding Huan had charged into the range of Twin Soul Sect's airspace-restriction array.

"Who dares provoke us on Twin Soul Sect's territory?" Amidst an angry shout, a brown-robed man charged straight at Ding Huan.

Although he had spoken a line beforehand, when it came to acting, there wasn't the slightest hesitation.

Ding Huan didn't even utter half a word. With a sweep of the Farewell Spear, this True Core cultivator didn't even have room to resist before being directly slain by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's Farewell Spear hadn't even been recalled when his true essence surged, tearing apart Twin Soul Sect's airspace-restriction array, followed by the tearing apart of Twin Soul Sect's sect-protecting grand array.

After Twin Soul Sect's sect-protecting grand array was blasted apart, the Twin Soul Sect elders, who had still been arguing over the succession of the sect master in the sect's main hall, suddenly realized what was happening.

By now, Ding Huan had already charged into Twin Soul Sect.

Twin Soul Sect truly lived up to being a body-snatching sect — not even one of them was old; one could say this was a world belonging to the young.

The only difference was that although these fellows looked young, every one of them had eyes that seemed to have weathered countless storms, as if they had seen through everything.

Ding Huan's Farewell Spear never stopped — everyone he encountered was cut down.

These body-snatching fellows — hardly any of them were good birds.

"Hold! Who are you, sir, and why have you come to my Twin Soul Sect to slaughter the innocent?" Finally, a peak True Core cultivator of Twin Soul Sect charged over.

"Oh, let me make you a ghost who knows why — my name is Ding Huan. You tell me, why did I come here to kill people?"

Hearing that the one who came was Ding Huan, this True Core cultivator's cold sweat instantly seeped out.

Why was Twin Soul Sect in such a rush to choose a sect master? Wasn't it precisely because their sect master had been killed? And the one who killed their sect master was this very Ding Huan before their eyes.

"Sect Master Ding…" This True Core cultivator was certain Ding Huan was a Primordial Soul realm expert. If they continued to resist Ding Huan, not a single person in Twin Soul Sect was a match for him.

But before he could even say that this matter had been done by Tan Yanxiao, Ding Huan's spear had already torn through his brow.

The elders who had been vying for the position of sect master, upon seeing that Twin Soul Sect's number-one True Core had no ability to resist before Ding Huan, no longer had a single person willing to stand against Ding Huan here.

But since Ding Huan had come, he had no intention of letting these people leave.

The Farewell Spear swept across all the way, blood mist flying everywhere. Whether fleeing or madly counterattacking, anyone who appeared within Ding Huan's divine sense was finished with a single spear.

A true 'Kill one man every ten steps, travel a thousand li without being stopped.'

Two hours later, the entire Twin Soul Sect was a scene of utter devastation.

Not a single scrap of paper was left in the Scripture Pavilion, and the sect's spirit veins had all been drained completely dry.

Apart from a very few menial disciples, Twin Soul Sect was almost without a living soul.

Twin Soul Sect could be considered erased from the Dao Cultivation World.

Before the news of Twin Soul Sect's destruction had spread, Ding Huan had already appeared in Tianqi City.

He had left Twin Soul Sect in an extremely conspicuous manner, stepping on his Farewell Spear — as for hiding his body and name, that did not exist.

Since he had come to establish his might, why hide his body and name?

……

Tianqi Sect's strength couldn't be considered that great — it could only be counted as a mid-tier sect, not even comparable to Twin Soul Sect.

Before Tan Yanxiao was killed, Twin Soul Sect still had a Primordial Soul realm cultivator. As for Tianqi Sect, they didn't even have a Primordial Soul realm cultivator.

But Tianqi Sect's Dao city, Tianqi City, was very famous.

Not to mention being as famous as a city like True Marrow Dao City, it was at least no weaker than Yanyue City.

The reason Tianqi City was so bustling and prosperous was precisely because all kinds of magic treasures could be found here.

Prices were lower than elsewhere, quality was better than elsewhere — naturally this attracted numerous cultivators to come and make purchases.

Ding Huan had not originally planned to enter Tianqi City; with his current strength, he would have gone straight to Tianqi Sect to inquire.

However, when he was passing through Tianqi City, he spotted a familiar face — Han Weicheng.

In Ding Huan's eyes, this Han Weicheng was not one for loyalty; he had saved the fellow several times, yet the guy showed not the slightest gratitude.

Han Weicheng appeared to hold a fairly high position in Tianqi Sect. When he arrived outside the Tianqi Pavilion, two guards bowed and saluted before he even went in.

Ding Huan had heard of this Tianqi Pavilion — it was the main trading house of Tianqi Sect.

Seeing Han Weicheng enter the Tianqi Pavilion, Ding Huan immediately followed him in.

"Friend, please stay. If you wish to purchase magic treasures, please enter through the neighboring trading house. This is a restricted refining area." Ding Huan was stopped at once.

"I'm looking for Han Weicheng," Ding Huan said.

"Who are you? What business do you have with Elder Han?" One guard, seeing that Ding Huan addressed Han Weicheng without a shred of courtesy, grew a little annoyed in tone.

Ding Huan had no time to waste on this guard. He raised his hand and sent out a blast of true essence.

The two guards blocking Ding Huan were swept aside cleanly by him and sent tumbling out onto the main street.

Han Weicheng heard the commotion and withdrew the foot he had just set on the staircase.

When he saw that the one entering was Ding Huan, he gave a slight start.

How could Ding Huan have come here?

To tell the truth, he was feeling a little regretful inside.

Back then he had assumed Ding Huan was bound to die, so when Ding Huan left, he couldn't even be bothered to say goodbye.

He never expected that not only did Ding Huan not die, but the ones who died were Yanyue Sect's Sect Master Yi Wandao and Shuanghun Sect's Sect Master Tan Yanxiao.

"So it is Sect Master Ding who has come. Please come upstairs to the private room."

Han Weicheng's heart was uneasy — Ding Huan was the ruthless man who had nailed two great Yuanhun Sect masters to death outside their sect's protective formation.

Not only that, Ding Huan had also established the Blue Star Sect, a matter that had spread throughout the entire Dao cultivation world until everyone knew of it.

"Han Weicheng, I didn't expect to run into you here either."

Ding Huan looked down on this fellow; he didn't even want to address him as a fellow Daoist.

"What is the matter, Sect Master Ding? Please feel free to give your instructions." Han Weicheng did not dare speak to Ding Huan in such a manner; his tone remained cautious and careful.

"Let me ask you something — does your Tianqi Sect have any contact with the God Race?" Ding Huan got straight to the point.

Han Weicheng's position in Tianqi Sect was not low; if the God Race and Tianqi Sect had any contact, he ought to know.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Han Weicheng's face changed and he hurriedly said:

"Sect Master Ding, you cannot speak carelessly like that. My Tianqi Sect could not possibly have any connection with the God Race."

Ding Huan was startled for a moment, then immediately understood — the God Race and the Human Race must have a great deal of conflict.

"Then let me ask — has a woman named Qi Xinyue recently come to Tianqi Sect?"

Hearing that Ding Huan had come to look for someone, Han Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief:

"No. I am in charge of recruiting disciples for the sect, and I truly have not heard of any Qi Xinyue."

In Ding Huan's conjecture, Qi Xinyue could not leave the God Race. Now that he had a definite answer, he was still quite disappointed.

Then again, it was only normal that Qi Xinyue could not leave the God Race.

His current strength was still too low. If he wanted to enter the God Race and settle scores with those fellows, he would have to raise his own strength further.

Ding Huan turned and left.

Seeing Ding Huan leave without even saying goodbye, Han Weicheng felt a little annoyed inside.

He also knew Ding Huan looked down on him, but this was not your Blue Star Sect. No matter how powerful your Blue Star Sect's sect-killing formation is, it is only powerful within Blue Star Sect.

"Elder Han, who was that person just now? Threw our guards out, and spoke so arrogantly?"

The Shopkeeper of Tianqi Pavilion had been observing from the side the whole time; now that Ding Huan had left, he came over to inquire cautiously.

Han Weicheng stared in the direction Ding Huan had left, his expression somewhat gloomy:

"His name is Ding Huan, Sect Master of Blue Star Sect. This man's boldness can be said to have reached the extreme — when he was still a mere mortal, he dared to poison Qu Yueshan of Shuanghun Sect to death.

After establishing a Blue Star Sect, he again dared to borrow the sect-killing formation to kill Yanyue Sect's Sect Master Yi Wandao and Shuanghun Sect's Sect Master Tan Yanxiao."

"What?" The Shopkeeper's face went white hearing this.

Han Weicheng looked at the Shopkeeper in confusion:

"Shopkeeper Zhan, what is going on with you? You should have heard of these things, no?"

Shopkeeper Zhan said in a trembling voice:

"Before you arrived, I had just received news that Blue Star Sect's Sect Master Ding Huan went to Shuanghun Sect alone and wiped out Shuanghun Sect almost to the last man and beast."

The color drained from Han Weicheng's face in an instant — it turned out he had just walked a round past the gates of hell.

Had even half a sentence of his angered Ding Huan, the him right now would probably already be a corpse.

He also somewhat understood why Ding Huan had asked him whether Tianqi Sect had any connection with the God Race — it turned out he was planning to pick a fight.

Besides that, he had specifically asked about a name he had never even heard of, asking whether Tianqi Sect had her — if that wasn't picking a fight, what was it?

If it was picking a fight, then Ding Huan would surely come back again, or go straight to Tianqi Sect to kill his way in.
