Chapter 338: Fan Jiandan of the Annihilated Sect

With his foundation deep enough that the Lei Jie arcs posed no threat, Ding Huan stopped wasting Lei Yuan.

Nearly every Lei Jie arc that fell was swept into the Zhou Tian by Ding Huan's Great Cosmos Art, rapidly condensing the cosmic star river within his Sea of Consciousness.

Before the eighty-one Lei Jie arcs had completely fallen, the cosmic star river within Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness had already fully taken shape.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The final wave of nine Lei Jie arcs descended.

This time Ding Huan offered no resistance at all, directly drawing these Lei Jie arcs into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Lei Jie arcs slammed into the great Dao cosmos within his Sea of Consciousness, stirring up ten thousand streaks of Lei Guang across the newly formed star river.

Yet Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness remained extraordinarily stable, without the slightest ripple.

This meant the great Dao cosmos within Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness had completely stabilized, leaving him thrilled beyond words.

He had always wanted to test just how powerful his great Dao cosmos truly was—today he finally knew.

Now, even Lei Jie arcs of the Star River realm couldn't shake his Sea of Consciousness, let alone blast it open.

At this moment, beneath the star river in his Sea of Consciousness, boundless Dao rhymes flowed like a silver ribbon circling the main star.

His Sea of Consciousness expanded several times over again; his divine sense stretched out and easily tore apart a meteorite.

Standing atop the iron wok, Ding Huan's heart surged with passion and fervor.

Star River realm is equivalent to Earth Immortal.

But Ding Huan knew very well in his heart that his Star River realm was absolutely not as simple as an ordinary Earth Immortal.

Although Ding Huan didn't know who the person who left behind the hide scroll was, nor whether that person would become his opponent in the future, at this moment Ding Huan was deeply grateful to him.

Without that hide scroll, even if he understood genes ten times better and his talent were a hundred times stronger, he probably still couldn't have created a heaven-defying cultivation method like the Great Cosmos Art.

Constructing a great Dao cosmos within his own Sea of Consciousness—something he wouldn't have dared imagine before.

Now he had not only constructed it, but within his great Dao cosmos there were stars, star systems, star bridges, and now a star river had even formed…

He could head to the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's lair now.

Ding Huan checked the directions on the guest token—it seemed the place was still very far away.

He stopped cultivating and instead controlled the iron wok himself, charging toward the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild at maximum speed.

While the iron wok flew, Ding Huan continued refining the iron wok's restrictions.

Sure enough, after breaking through to Star River realm, he no longer needed the help of Lei Jie arcs—his divine sense could penetrate the iron wok's restrictions on its own, and he began refining the sixth layer of restrictions.

Three months passed, accompanied by a crisp clear chime.

The iron wok's speed increased by another large margin—this was Ding Huan having refined the sixth layer of restrictions on the iron wok.

Ding Huan struck at the seventh layer of restrictions once more.

Five months later, just as Ding Huan had completely refined the seventh layer of restrictions and the iron wok's speed was about to surge again, a flying magic treasure rapidly approached Ding Huan.

Ding Huan halted the iron wok.

After flying for so long, the distance between him and the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild didn't seem to have decreased much, which made him suspect something was off about this guest token.

That flying magic treasure quickly stopped just outside Ding Huan's iron wok.

Ding Huan's divine sense swept outward, and he was surprised to discover that the person on that flying magic treasure was someone he actually knew—Fan Jiandan.

What a coincidence—in the vast universe, after flying for several years, he could still encounter Fan Jiandan here; this nearly nonexistent probability had actually befallen him.

But Ding Huan quickly understood that such a probability was impossible.

There was only one reason Fan Jiandan appeared here—the other party knew his location and had come specifically to find him.

Fan Jiandan's current situation was not looking good at all; the disguise mask on her face was badly damaged, her long hair was a complete mess, as if she had been bullied and then escaped.

"Life really does bring us together everywhere," Ding Huan said, looking at Fan Jiandan.

Fan Jiandan cupped her fists toward Ding Huan and said: "Finally caught up with you. I've been chasing you for several years."

As expected, she had come looking for him.

Ding Huan was still somewhat puzzled—someone could actually catch up to his iron wok? Especially since his iron wok was getting faster and faster.

Ding Huan quickly understood what was going on. His gaze fell on that guest token, and his tone turned cold: "So that's how scheming you are. Over twenty years ago you already left a mark on my guest token, heh."

Ding Huan was also a bit speechless. Back then his guest token had been handled by Jia Baihe. After Jia Baihe handled it, he had tossed it straight into his ring.

This time, in order to find the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, he had taken out the guest token.

Once taken out, he had placed it on the iron wok to guide his direction, never bothering to check whether it was right or not, let alone looking to see if there were any divine sense imprints inside the guest token.

"Brother Huan, I did indeed have some thoughts about you and Brother Jia back then. After leaving the Void Flying City, I came to deeply admire you and Brother Jia," Fan Jiandan said sincerely.

Ding Huan knew that since the other party had placed a tracking imprint inside his guest token, they clearly knew that the identity of his guest token was Brother Huan.

"What do you want with me by chasing me?" Ding Huan felt neither goodwill nor ill will toward Fan Jiandan.

Fan Jiandan cupped her fists and said: "Brother Huan, you could say I've been implicated by you."

Ding Huan frowned and asked in confusion: "When did I implicate you?"

"Because I was together with you and Brother Jia, my sect was massacred by the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, and I've also been hunted by the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild…" Fan Jiandan's voice carried grievance.

Her sect massacred, and all she felt was just a little grievance?

Ding Huan actually figured out the reason—it should be that he and Jia Baihe had stayed at the same inn as this Fan Jiandan before them, and then walked out of the Void Flying City together, which made the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild think they were familiar with each other.

The Myriad Realms Commerce Guild elder Peng Sa was killed by him; since the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild felt Fan Jiandan was familiar with them, naturally they wouldn't let her off.

"After I sensed the divine sense imprint I had left behind, I immediately began chasing you. But your speed was really too fast—I used over a dozen top-grade escape talismans before I could see you in this place."

The more Fan Jiandan spoke, the more aggrieved she became; among those escape talismans were several top-grade ones that could have let her escape death several times over.

But she didn't wait for Ding Huan to respond, and continued:

"Brother Huan, you must be heading to the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, right? Let me tell you, if you want to find the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild using this guest token, you're dreaming."

"Why?" Ding Huan looked at Fan Jiandan in confusion.

Wasn't it said that the guest token could be used to find the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild?

Fan Jiandan explained, "This guest token was processed at the Void Flying City, and it hasn't changed color, so you can only locate the Void Flying City.

The Void Flying City keeps moving, so how would you search for it? Only when the guest token processed at the Void Flying City turns green can you pinpoint the headquarters of the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild."

So that's how it is.

Ding Huan sighed inwardly. If only he had known to borrow Jia Bailily's guest token.

Jia Bailily had purchased many things, so her guest token was certainly no longer orange; what exact color it was, he had no idea.

Fan Jiandan went on, "You should count yourself lucky that you and Brother Jia's guest tokens were processed at the Void Flying City.

If they had been processed at the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild headquarters, they would have long since tracked you down to the star continent you're on based on the token's information."

Ding Huan's heart jolted. That's right.

If they could use the guest token to find the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, why couldn't the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild use the guest token to find their location?

Seeing Ding Huan fall silent, Fan Jiandan brought up the topic herself:

"You should know your friend was killed by the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, right? If your friend hadn't been so stubborn, the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild might have long since known where you came from.

With the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's power, they would not only wipe out your sect and clan, but even everyone you know would be killed. Even the planet you're on might not be spared.

Otherwise, why do you think no one dares to offend the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild?"

Ding Huan had come this time precisely to demand an explanation from the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild. Hearing Fan Jiandan's words, he quickly cupped his fists and asked, "Please enlighten me, Daoist Friend Fan. What exactly happened to my friend?"

Fan Jiandan sighed:

"Over a dozen years ago, a few of your friends came to the Biankui Star Continent. Outside Endless City, they saw your wanted notice.

One of your friends, a man named Xun Youshan, saw that it was a notice wanted you, and flew into a rage on the spot, directly destroying that wanted notice…"

Ding Huan was quite helpless. These veteran Earth Immortal powerhouses had always been used to throwing their weight around.

Let alone the fact that they were a whole group of peak Earth Immortals—even Xun Youshan alone, after coming out of the Opening Heaven Battlefield, was someone who walked sideways wherever he went.

In fact, if it weren't for the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild, with this bunch—Fei Zhankong, Xun Youshan, Dan Beishu, Xun Youshan, Ji Xuwen, Fu Qijian, Senior Ji Gu, and Cang Yongqian—they truly could go anywhere without needing to read anyone's face.

But what kind of place is the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild? It's a place that actually has a true Mortal-Fairy Bridge realm powerhouse.

"What happened to them?" Ding Huan asked in a low voice.

Fan Jiandan gave Ding Huan a sympathetic glance: "It seems some were killed, and a few escaped. That battle was quite brutal at the time. I remember the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild also lost quite a few Earth Immortal powerhouses.

There was a woman called Senior Ji Gu who was really formidable—she single-handedly killed four or five Earth Immortals. And there was one who used a sword, surname Fu something—he was also very formidable.

But later a Mortal-Fairy Bridge realm powerhouse arrived, and that swordsman surnamed Fu's master was killed, and some others were captured…"

Ding Huan took a deep breath and did not press further.

"Do you know where the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's headquarters is?" Ding Huan asked immediately.

Fan Jiandan nodded: "Yes, I do. After attending the last auction, I went to the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's headquarters and stationed my sect at Endless City, where the headquarters is located."

"You stationed your sect at Endless City?" Ding Huan was finding this woman's words increasingly incomprehensible.

Fan Jiandan nodded: "Yes, my lineage is all single-inheritance—that is, the Wenxin Sect. My sect is just me alone."

Ding Huan looked at Fan Jiandan speechlessly: "Then you just said your entire sect was killed by the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild?"

Fan Jiandan's eyes went wide: "I didn't lie to you. My junior brother Fan Quan, my junior sister Snow Lyn'er. Although they were just a dog and a cat, they've been my companions for many years…

See the wounds on me? They hunted me down, but I'm not easy to bully either. In any case, I've broken even now."

Ding Huan cut her off directly: "Daoist Friend Fan, since you know the Myriad Realms Commerce Guild's headquarters, please take me there."
