353. Chapter 350: Help Me Kill One Person

Indeed, when Ding Huan reached the first-layer restriction of the Ascension Tower, he sensed a more furious aura—and the Ascension Tower suddenly rose into the air as if aiming to pierce the sky.

Those watching outside the Ascension Tower saw it rising into the air.

Everyone knew Ding Huan was right.

Even Mu Chengzi sighed: "After all these years refining artifacts, my experience pales beside the Ding Sect Master's."

At this moment, he even felt some regret—Ding Huan would surely enter the Fourth Sea Pass again.

When Ding Huan and Wu Zhanxia clash, can Wu Zhanxia win?

But the bow is drawn and cannot be undone; after he urged Fei Zhankong and others to leave the Third Heaven Star Continent, he had no retreat.

Yet in his heart, Wu Zhanxia should now fear nothing from Ding Huan.

When Ding Huan first went, Wu Zhanxia claimed he had already found the true Dao principle of the Immortal-Fanqiao realm; given him ten years, he would surely step into the true Immortal-Fanqiao.

Once Wu Zhanxia enters the true Immortal-Fanqiao realm, all Earth Immortal Peak cultivators will follow Wu Zhanxia's lead.

Moreover, Wu Zhanxia possesses a great killing weapon. Under the domain of that Immortal Artifact, even if Ding Huan were twice as strong, what then?

Thinking of this, Mu Chengzi suddenly asked: "Cang Daoist, how did the Ding Sect Master rescue you and Senior Ji Gu from the Ten Thousand Worlds Consortium?"

Before Cang Yongqian could answer, Senior Ji Gu lazily replied:

"What else? Ding Huan's array art is strong—he secretly infiltrated the Ten Thousand Worlds Consortium's dungeon using arrays, then used a teleportation talisman to take us away."

Hearing Senior Ji Gu's answer, Mu Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Huan had a pile of various talismans—he knew that well.

…

Boom! The Ascension Tower was first bound by Ding Huan's binding array, then blocked by his sky-sealing and confinement arrays.

At this moment, Ding Huan's spiritual sense began refining the first-layer restriction.

Sensing extreme peril, that fragment soul lunged straight into Ding Huan's spiritual sea.

Ding Huan didn't even flinch—a single roll of Dao Flame, a piercing scream echoed, and the broken fragment soul didn't last half a breath under Ding Huan's Dao Flame.

Having easily slain that fragment soul, Ding Huan realized he had been overly cautious.

Even without setting up all those arrays, that powerful Hanba could not have seized the Ascension Tower—maximum it could do was make it rise, then drop elsewhere.

The Hanba's power was not as strong as he imagined—or rather, it was still severely wounded and not yet healed.

Outside the Ascension Tower, Geng Qianxing heard that scream and instantly understood what had happened—his face turned pale.

A lifetime of belief and devotion, only to discover it was a joke—no, that he himself had been an accomplice—the blow to his heart was unimaginable.

If all this had happened before he reached Earth Immortal, he doubted he would ever attain the Earth Immortal realm in his life.

Because his spiritual state would undergo a massive change.

Lin Yuqi understood Geng Qianxing best—he smiled and said: "I think even if you weren't guarding the Ascension Tower, those destined to ascend would still come—even more so.

In other words, your presence has actually saved many low-level cultivators' lives."

Though he knew Lin Yuqi was comforting him, Geng Qianxing's heart felt somewhat lighter.

After that fragment soul was burned and slain, nothing remained to hinder Ding Huan's refinement of the restriction—he proceeded to construct his second Great Cosmic Art Zhou Tian.

Two hours later.

Crack! The first-layer restriction of the Ascension Tower was refined by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan did not continue refining the second-layer restriction; instead, he activated the teleportation array and decisively sent the Ascension Tower, now refined in its first layer, into his iron pot.

Everyone watched as the Ascension Tower vanished before their eyes, each letting out a long breath.

"Ding Sect Master, thank heaven you noticed something was wrong—if not, I fear the Third Heaven Star Continent would have been in grave danger," Lin Yuqi said, still shaken.

Ding Huan nodded—he knew Lin Yuqi's words could easily become reality.

If the Ascension Tower had remained here, that Hanba might one day come to the Third Heaven Star Continent.

With that Hanba's power, no one on the Third Heaven Star Continent could stand against it.

If the Hanba came to the Third Heaven Star Continent, it might do what Jiuyuan failed to do: refine the entire continent.

The Third Heaven Star Continent is no ordinary Daoist star continent—once refined, it could very well become a True Spirit World.

Ding Huan spoke gravely:

"Lin Zhuangzhu, the Third Heaven Star Continent should be safe for now. You must remain vigilant against the Divine Clan—if they return, don't hold back. Kill one, kill all.

If too many Earth Immortal cultivators come, go seek help from the Blue Star Sect."

He had left contingency plans with the Blue Star Sect, and nearly all Divine Clan Earth Immortals had been killed by him—so the danger level was low.

He had mostly resolved the threats: Jiuyuan, the Ten Thousand Worlds Consortium, the Divine Clan, and the Hanba.

"Ding Sect Master, I wish you a smooth journey," Liu Yinyu stepped forward and offered her blessing.

Ding Huan laughed and said to Liu Yinyu: "Wait a moment—I'll carve a jade slip for you."

Saying this, he took out a blank jade slip and spent a full hour completing the carving.

Handing the jade slip to Liu Yinyu, Ding Huan then pulled out a flag array and gave it to her: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Liu Yinyu stared at the jade slip in Ding Huan's hand, puzzled.

"I killed an Immortal-Fanqiao cultivator and found a technique in his jade slip—it's called the Luoshen Scripture…"

Ding Huan's words made Liu Yinyu forget he had just said he killed an Immortal-Fanqiao cultivator—she trembled as she gripped the jade slip he gave her:

"Ding Sect Master, you mean…"

Ding Huan nodded: "I know you cultivate the Luoshen Scripture—but your version has too many flaws, making success nearly impossible.

That's why you work harder than most, yet your cultivation remains stuck at Human Immortal Mid-stage with no progress."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Liu Yinyu nodded sadly: "Yes."

Ding Huan continued: "After obtaining the complete Luoshen Scripture jade slip, I found it still incomplete—with major errors. So I revised the Luoshen Scripture for you…"

"Ding Sect Master, you say you modified the Goddess Luo Art? In just one shichen?"

Liu Yinyu stared at Ding Huan with wide eyes. It wasn't that she didn't believe him—his words simply carried no credibility.

Modifying a cultivation method passed down for many years in just one shichen—was that even possible?

Ding Huan said, "Not one shichen. I'd already spent some time studying this method when I was returning to the Triple Heaven Star Land. Happening to run into you today, I simply took the chance to inscribe it for you."

"But…"

Even with Ding Huan's explanation, Liu Yinyu still harbored some doubt in her heart.

It wouldn't be proper for her to ask Ding Huan to hand her the complete Goddess Luo Art directly—that would be a bit too much.

Ding Huan knew what Liu Yinyu was thinking. He wouldn't give Liu Yinyu the original Goddess Luo Art cultivation method.

Once that complete method was handed to Liu Yinyu, it would be difficult for her to switch to the one he was offering.

There's a saying: first impressions are everything. It's hard to explain—many things in life are simply like that, beyond reason.

Ding Huan said sincerely, "Palace Master Liu, do you know my Blue Star Sect's Little Universe Art?"

Liu Yinyu nodded. "The Little Universe Art is already the number one cultivation method of the Triple Heaven Star Land—how could I not know of it?"

"The Little Universe Art was something I created myself. Do you think I'm qualified to modify the Goddess Luo Art?" Ding Huan said.

"What?" Liu Yinyu was startled by Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan had created the Little Universe Art?

Ding Huan said with a solemn expression, "I'm not deceiving you. This is fact."

Psychological suggestion truly is very important. Upon hearing that the Little Universe Art was written by Ding Huan, Liu Yinyu immediately said:

"Many thanks, Sect Master Ding. I believe that cultivating according to this new method, I will surely be able to reach the Earth Immortal realm."

Ding Huan continued, "Your Goddess Luo Palace…"

Liu Yinyu gave a bitter smile. "The Goddess Luo Palace exists in name only. Problems arose back then, and now it's a long story. With my ability, I have no way to keep it going."

There were things she couldn't easily say. If the Goddess Luo Palace still existed, could a palace master like her still go out seeking cultivation opportunities?

"Palace Master Liu, I'd like to invite you to join my Blue Star Sect," Ding Huan said hopefully.

Liu Yinyu was overjoyed. "I've long wanted to join Blue Star Sect, but I just couldn't bring myself to ask."

She truly was too embarrassed, and another reason was that she was already at the Human Immortal realm and couldn't switch to the Little Universe Art.

She couldn't be like Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng, who—when they wanted to join Blue Star Sect—just cast aside their former identities as alliance leader and city lord.

Given her standing in the Ascension Realm, she truly needed Ding Huan's invitation before she could join.

"Good."

Ding Huan was overjoyed. He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Liu Yinyu:

"From now on you are the Supreme Elder of my Blue Star Sect. This is my identity jade talisman—it can not only prove your identity, but also block three attacks from the Immortal-Fanqiao realm for you."

"Sect Master, you're at the Immortal-Fanqiao realm?" Only now did Liu Yinyu realize.

Ding Huan shook his head. "I'm not at the Immortal-Fanqiao realm, but my cultivation method is very powerful. Now that you've switched to the Goddess Luo Art I gave you, once you step into the Earth Immortal realm—setting aside dealing with the Immortal-Fanqiao realm—at least when you encounter Earth Immortal realm cultivators, you won't need to fear them."

Liu Yinyu listened carefully. She had absolute faith in Ding Huan's words.

Ding Huan's strength she had witnessed with her own eyes. Now that Ding Huan could even handle the Immortal-Fanqiao realm, what was there for her to doubt?

Ding Huan's tone turned grave: "Elder Liu, I have a matter I need your help with."

Hearing Ding Huan address her as Elder Liu, Liu Yinyu's expression also grew grave. This was official business.

Ding Huan said, "You and my Blue Star Sect's Liu Yinzhu should be related by blood. I'm confident I didn't see wrong. As for the specifics, verify it yourself…"

Liu Yinyu stared at Ding Huan in shock. She had long suspected a connection between herself and Liu Yinzhu, but had no evidence or clues whatsoever.

Suddenly requesting a blood verification would be far too presumptuous.

"The second matter is very important to Blue Star Sect…"

Liu Yinyu quickly pushed aside her distracting thoughts and listened attentively to Ding Huan's words.

"Once you arrive at Blue Star Sect, with sufficient resources you should soon be able to step into the Earth Immortal realm. When that time comes, help me kill a person."
