Chapter 315: Deciding to Go Solo with Jiabaihe

"Of course, I don't need to lie to you about this." Ding Huan said affirmatively.

Jiabaihe nodded: "I believe you."

Ding Huan didn't even fear her Myriad Poison Fusion Dao rhyme—saying he'd kill everyone from Jiuyuan, what's so strange about that?

"Alright. I'll leave first. Once my matters here are settled, I'll come find you. It shouldn't take more than three years." Ding Huan said.

"Why does it need so long?" Jiabaihe was a little puzzled.

Ding Huan said: "My current strength is still a bit lacking to go to Jiuyuan. Originally I was planning to bring a group of Earth Immortals to launch a hard assault.

Since you have a simpler method here, why would I bother with a hard assault?"

Before knowing about Jiabaihe, Ding Huan had decided to bring a group of Earth Immortal bigwigs to blast Jiuyuan Star by force.

After discovering the array-pattern grand formation beneath the City Lord's residence, he felt that if they really did launch a hard assault, more than one Earth Immortal on their side might fall.

Later he learned that within that array-pattern grand formation there was still a transmission array pattern he hadn't discovered, and Ding Huan grew even more wary.

Jiuyuan having such an array-path expert meant Jiuyuan wouldn't be as simple as they had guessed.

Now that he knew about Jiabaihe, bringing Jiabaihe along to use poison to dissolve all life on Jiuyuan was the most reliable method.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you." Jiabaihe seemed to have thought of something.

"Go ahead." Ding Huan nodded.

Jiabaihe said: "I sensed that the Kai Tian Battlefield holds a true immortal fate. If we want to ascend to the Immortal World in the future, we'll very likely need to go to the Kai Tian Battlefield."

Ding Huan was stunned—wasn't this publicly known information on the Triple Heaven Star Land?

Why did Geng Qianxing and Lin Yuqi go to the Kai Tian Battlefield? Wasn't it precisely to seek immortal fate and the Earth Immortal cultivators of the Triple Heaven Star Land?

Speaking of Earth Immortals from the Triple Heaven Star Land, one had to mention Cang Yongqian, Shan Beishu, Cen Huan and a few others—they went to the Kai Tian Battlefield for immortal fate as well.

Jiabaihe clearly hadn't thought of these things. She continued: "Because I have a Celestial Spirit Dao Body, outside the Kai Tian Battlefield I can sense where the true immortal fate lies.

I believe that as long as I go in, I will definitely be able to find that place."

Hearing this, Ding Huan finally understood that the immortal fate Jiabaihe spoke of and the immortal fate Shan Beishu and the others had heard of were entirely different matters.

He hurriedly said: "After we destroy Jiuyuan, we'll enter the Kai Tian Battlefield together. Let me warn you—absolutely do not enter the Kai Tian Battlefield by yourself, or you'll die for certain."

Ding Huan really wasn't talking nonsense.

Jiabaihe being skilled with poison was fine, but once she encountered Wu Zhanxia, her poison would be just as much a joke.

Because that side of the Immortal-Fanqiao space was originally a simulated Immortal-Fanqiao Dao rhyme space conjured by Wu Zhanxia, filled throughout with Wu Zhanxia's understanding of the Immortal-Fanqiao Dao rhyme and his own Grand Dao rhyme.

If Jiabaihe deployed poison within that space, she'd die all the faster.

Because within that space, Wu Zhanxia feared no poison whatsoever.

Jiabaihe didn't know why Ding Huan was so proficient in the poison path, and could even extract poison liquid from her poison-path Dao rhyme—such a method was simply unheard of.

But Jiabaihe believed that someone like Ding Huan probably wouldn't appear a second time.

Ding Huan said she'd certainly die entering the Kai Tian Battlefield alone, and in her heart she didn't take it seriously.

But she also had no intention of entering the Kai Tian Battlefield alone. The purpose of saying this to Ding Huan was to plan to go in together with him.

Only when Shan Beishu and the others saw Ding Huan come out did they finally heave a long sigh of relief.

Jiabaihe had already returned to her original appearance—even the knife-scar wound on her head had vanished.

Fei Zhankong felt even more like a stone had dropped from his heart; he'd worried that Ding Huan, trying to save him, had been set up by Jiabaihe.

Ding Huan glanced at Xun Youshan. Originally he'd wanted to introduce Xun Youshan to Jiabaihe, but after thinking it over he decided against it.

For both Jiabaihe and Xun Youshan, it wasn't a pleasant matter—why add to the sorrow?

"Let's go. Previously Dao Friend Jiabaihe had some misunderstandings with everyone. Now that I've cleared up the misunderstanding with Dao Friend Jiabaihe, let bygones be bygones."

Although no one knew why Ding Huan wanted to let things go, since Ding Huan had said so, no one would raise an objection.

Jiabaihe stepped forward proactively to apologize to everyone. Ding Huan didn't let the group linger either, and led them away from Jiabaihe Star Mountain.

"Sect Leader Ding, why does this Jiabaihe not seem like the poison-demon image from the rumors? I've heard people say he killed tens of thousands…"

Cang Yongqian asked in confusion.

Because Jiabaihe had had many chances to kill them, yet hadn't acted—this didn't match the reputation of a poison demon.

Xun Youshan scoffed: "How much of hearsay can be taken as truth?"

Ding Huan, however, was sighing over this woman Jiabaihe's fate—truly miserable enough. If not for Xun Youshan's descendant Xun Bu stepping in to save her, she could only have died in humiliation.

"Forget all that. Let's discuss how to go to Jiuyuan and wipe out Jiuyuan Star."

Fei Zhankong felt that being imprisoned by a junior had cost him face, and was unwilling to keep talking about this.

"Up to now, no one knows where Jiuyuan is. Even those who came out from Jiuyuan were transmitted directly out through a transmission array—they never had a chance to come into contact with Jiuyuan's cosmic coordinates. How do we get there?"

Xun Youshan said.

The rest fell silent. Indeed it was so. How many Jiuyuan cultivators had they killed in the Triple Heaven Dao City? Many Earth Immortals had been slowly interrogated by them, and the Heart-Questioning Formation had been deployed too.

These cultivators who came out from Jiuyuan truly didn't know where Jiuyuan Star was located.

"Then do we just sit here and wait?" Fei Zhankong was a bit vexed.

Ding Huan said:

"Just sitting and waiting won't do. I suspect Jiuyuan must know our strength is formidable, so for now they don't dare come to our Triple Heaven Star Land. I do have an idea though…"

Originally Ding Huan wanted to voice his idea, but he immediately thought of Senior Ji Gu's attitude when she gave him the crystal sphere.

She had avoided everyone, and spoken of grave importance and great caution.

This indicated Senior Ji Gu might be suspecting that among their group there was a mole—she just found it hard to say outright.

Although Ding Huan was certain there was no problem with his group, caution was still wise in all things.

Previously he'd thought no one could find the place where the Star Core Stone was hidden, yet the moment he left, someone had gone there through a transmission array pattern.

This showed that even when one is a hundred percent certain nothing will go wrong, being cautious is still better.

"What does Sect Leader Ding mean?" Seeing Ding Huan stop halfway without continuing, Mu Chengzi couldn't help but ask.

Ding Huan laughed and said, "My idea is that everyone makes an effort to go into closed-door cultivation for a few years, push their strength up another level, and then go look for the Jiuyuan Star. Wouldn't that give us a much better chance?

If people from the Jiuyuan Star come while we're in closed-door cultivation, that would be even better."

Ding Huan had originally wanted to mention that the fellow who had set up the star core stones beneath the Third Layer Dao City had been gravely wounded by his Killing-Array and fled.

Anyone wounded by the dao rhyme of his Killing-Array—he would surely be able to track down the other's location based on that dao-rhyme aura.

The reason was simple: the Great Universe Art was cultivated by him alone.

Wounded by the dao rhyme of his Great Universe Art Killing-Array—where could they possibly flee to?

The second matter Ding Huan wanted to ask everyone was whether they had made any discoveries while cultivating within the Immortal-Fanqiao dao-rhyme space simulated by Wu Zhanxia?

For instance, the place Senior Ji Gu had mentioned.

Because he had a reservation in mind, the words stopped at Ding Huan's lips, and when Mu Chengzi asked, he changed the subject.

"Good, I agree with Ding Huan's meaning." Shan Beishu was once again the first to speak up.

"Not bad—I feel I too need to go into closed-door cultivation for a period. Cultivating for so many years under that false simulated Immortal-Fanqiao space has had a very large impact on my great dao." Cang Yongqian nodded.

This view immediately won the approval of Fei Zhankong, Shan Beishu, and Mu Chengzi.

Cultivating for long stretches under someone else's great dao space affects one's own great dao foundation not just a little, but enormously.

Everyone unanimously decided to cultivate for a period before discussing further.

Those with nowhere to go could stay at Blue Star Sect or simply cultivate within the Third Layer Dao City; those with somewhere to go were free to seek out a place for closed-door cultivation.

Ding Huan's half-immortal artifact was extremely fast, and in a short time he had once again returned to the Third Layer Dao City.

Upon arriving at the Third Layer Dao City, Ding Huan teleported himself straight to his previous closed-door cultivation spot.

Within the Killing-Array he had obtained the image of the rash intruder, as well as the blood-stain imprint the other had left behind.

With these, and combined with the Great Universe Art dao rhyme he had left on the other party, once he came out of closed-door cultivation in a few years, he could still track them down.

……

As the various big shots who had emerged from the Heaven-Opening Battlefield each went off to find places for closed-door cultivation, Ding Huan also returned to Hidden Jianshan, and the Third Layer Heaven Star Land fell completely silent.

In the Third Layer Dao City, with Yi Qianxing, Xiu Cang, Lin Yuqi and the others in control, cultivator laws had also been drawn up.

As long as the people of Jiuyuan didn't come over, there would basically be nothing major happening in the Third Layer Heaven Star Land.

Ding Huan remained in Hidden Jianshan, cultivating madly; bolstered by the top-grade spirit vein and the high-grade starry-sky spirit vein, and with the cosmic vortex mouth serving as a source of dao-rule insight.

His strength was almost changing day by day.

Two years later, the outline of the connected star system in Ding Huan's consciousness sea grew clearer and clearer, and Ding Huan also sensed the next realm level of the Great Universe Art: Star Bridge.

The Star Bridge realm was equivalent to the Human Immortal realm.

Ding Huan decided to strive to break through to the Star Bridge realm, then go find Jia Bailhe, and together with Jia Bailhe head to Jiuyuan.

No matter whether among those who had come out of the Heaven-Opening Battlefield with him there were fellows harboring ill intentions, as long as he didn't speak of going to Jiuyuan, no one would know.
