394. Chapter 390: Fairy Wen

Chong Ang's divine sense swept across all the formation tokens. After half an incense stick's time, he looked at Lei Wu with a frown and said, "Sect Master Lei, all the formation tokens are here. No one has borrowed out a formation token.

These formation disks have indeed been used, but there are records on file — all were used by the owners themselves."

Lei Wu was inwardly shocked — this wasn't right.

He had clearly inquired and found out that Ding Huan had left the Fourth Immortal Domain and then entered again.

If that was the case, then why was there no record of a sect master lending out a formation token?

There must be something here he hadn't figured out. Exactly how had Ding Huan gotten in?

"Alright, next let us continue discussing the matter of establishing an outer void city for the Fourth Immortal Domain." Chong Ang's words interrupted Lei Wu's thoughts.

Lei Wu's little scheme was clear to him. If he had found out, letting this Lei Wu take a small advantage wouldn't matter. The key point was that this involved Ding Huan.

Since no trace of Ding Huan had been found, if they were to keep wasting time on this trivial matter, they could step aside.

……

Ding Huan was startled awake by exclamations of admiration. Beside his ear, people kept greeting — Fairy Wen, Senior Sister Wen…

Ding Huan looked up, and immediately sighed with emotion.

He had seen no few beauties, but anyone who could compare with the Fairy Wen before him was probably only Jia Baili.

Even Jia Baili's bearing was inferior to that of the Fairy Wen before him.

Ding Huan also knew the reason — Jia Baili had only cultivated in the True Cultivation World and had not come to the Immortal World.

Her cultivation method determined that in looks and bearing, she was slightly weaker than Fairy Wen.

The Fairy Wen before him smiled at everyone, showing not the slightest impatience, nor the slightest air of keeping people at arm's length.

Yet she gave Ding Huan a particular feeling — that her attitude toward anyone was handled just right.

It would make one feel neither distant nor overly familiar.

In a word, talking and interacting with her gave one a feeling of a spring breeze.

Composed, dignified, and rational…

It should be said that the word "rational" perfectly interpreted the Fairy Wen before him.

Add to that a one-of-a-kind appearance, and this should be a flawless woman.

What shocked Ding Huan even more was this woman's cultivation. Although she had concealed her cultivation at late True Immortal, Ding Huan could be certain she could kill Reminding Shen Yi in an instant.

Reminding Shen Yi was also at Mysterious Immortal Perfection, but his Great Dao roundness and the length and continuity of his aura were far inferior to those of the Fairy Wen before him.

"Fellow Daoists, today, taking advantage of the Immortal Sect Grand Assembly, this is precisely the time for us to exchange treasures. How about I go first — I have a jade slip on alchemy and wish to exchange it for a mid-grade alchemy cauldron…"

A tall, slender man was the first to stand, raising the jade slip in his hand and speaking in a clear voice.

This man's words drew the attention of all the gazes that had been fixed on Fairy Wen.

Most people had come here for only one purpose — to trade.

The Fourth Immortal Domain was vast, and immortal spiritual energy existed only within Immortal Sects and Immortal Clans.

This had caused Xiancheng to be extremely scarce, and many good things could not circulate.

The Immortal Sect Grand Assembly could be said to be the best time for everyone to trade.

"I have an alchemy cauldron — not mid-grade, but definitely the pinnacle among lower-grade immortal artifacts." A burly male cultivator immediately raised his own alchemy cauldron.

The two completed their trade quickly.

Ding Huan had long calculated that he had to leave here as soon as possible; otherwise, he would be in serious trouble.

So as soon as this trade ended, he immediately raised his own items and said loudly:

"I have three things. First is a Spirit-Opening Blue-Faced Fruit — I won't elaborate on its uses, everyone knows.

Second is an Immortal Demon Pill, and third is a drop of Hundred-Million-Year Sea Marrow. I wish to exchange for any introduction to the Myriad Void Swamp, including the entry coordinates…"

Ding Huan was also helpless — he had no immortal spiritual materials on him.

Even though he had killed Jin Xian Wu Hongtian, in reality he hadn't gotten anything good from Wu Hongtian either.

Everything he had still came from the Third Heaven Star Land.

It hadn't been just a day or two in the Fourth Immortal Domain, and Ding Huan also knew that Immortal Demon Pills were extremely scarce here.

This Immortal Demon Pill of his had been obtained back in the Four Directions Star Land.

Although he had contributed this Immortal Demon Pill and gained the chance to come to the Third Heaven Star Land, after going around in a circle, this Immortal Demon Pill had returned to his hands.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't have an introduction to the Myriad Void Swamp, but I am willing to use a large amount of immortal crystals to exchange for your Immortal Demon Pill."

"I am willing to use Immortal Essence Pills to exchange for your Hundred-Million-Year Sea Marrow."

"Fellow Daoist, I have a lower-grade defensive immortal artifact — may I exchange it for your Immortal Demon Pill?"

……

Ding Huan hadn't expected that the few items he had brought out would be so popular. Countless cultivators wanted to trade with him, but unfortunately none of these things appealed to him.

"I know who he is! Ding Huan — he's Ding Huan!"

"Who is Ding Huan?"

"Bai Chi, the guy who found the immortal spirit spring eye for the Baihe Immortal Dao back in the day. Right, and the Yan Clan Immortal Race's immortal spirit spring eye was also found by him."

"What? It's him?"

"Wasn't this guy squeezed out of the top ten in formation arts by us? How can he still get in?"

Various low-voiced discussions rose from the crowd, but Ding Huan's divine sense was powerful, and he heard every word of these discussions clearly.

Ding Huan's heart was perfectly calm. Being recognized here was normal — not being recognized would be abnormal.

As soon as he got what he wanted in trade, he would leave immediately.

"I do happen to have a jade slip — I wonder if Fellow Daoist would trade the Spirit-Opening Blue-Faced Fruit to me." A gentle, unhurried voice rang out.

Hearing this voice gave one an immediate sense of reassurance.

"Of course." Ding Huan had already seen that the person coming over was Fairy Wen.

He handed the Spirit-Connecting Blue-Faced Fruit in his hand to Fairy Wen without hesitation, then took a jade slip from Fairy Wen's hand.

At the same time, he heard the other's voice transmission: "You leave quickly. Once the Sect Master Assembly ends, you won't be able to get away, one hundred percent."

"Many thanks." After completing the trade, Ding Huan put away the remaining two items and turned to leave.

"Wait, I want to trade for your Immortal Demon Pill, Dao Friend, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Ding Huan had only just reached the doorway when someone blocked him.

"What? I don't wish to trade for anything else right now. Are you going to forcibly stop me?" Ding Huan's voice turned cold.

If he didn't know that once he made a move he definitely wouldn't be able to leave, he would have acted long ago.

Several more cultivators came over, among them Ding Huan even spotted a Profound Immortal.

Before that Profound Immortal could reach Ding Huan's side, Fairy Wen smiled and said: "Since he doesn't wish to trade, according to the rules of the Immortal Gate Assembly, he is free to leave this place."

She rather admired Ding Huan's courage, and his wisdom as well. If Ding Huan had dared to enter with a changed appearance and a different name, any single thing verified would have meant he could never leave.

Now that Ding Huan was leaving, no one had any reason to stop him. He came in openly and aboveboard, and he left openly and aboveboard—who could stop him?

The moment Fairy Wen spoke, the steps of that Profound Immortal who had been about to approach Ding Huan faltered, and Ding Huan had already stepped out the great gate.

At the same time, several divine sense imprints were placed on Ding Huan's body.

"There are divine sense imprints on you." When Ding Huan walked out of the Fifth Immortal Domain Hall, Fairy Wen's voice transmission came to his ear once more.

Ding Huan felt secretly grateful. Those divine sense imprints he deliberately paid no mind to; what he was grateful for was Fairy Wen speaking up, which made that Profound Immortal cultivator halt his steps.

Otherwise, he really would have had no choice but to fight his way out.

The moment he stepped out of Changsheng Immortal Dao City, Ding Huan's divine sense swept up two cultivators pursuing him.

What left him speechless was that both of these fellows were True Immortals.

One was late-stage True Immortal, the other only mid-stage True Immortal.

How much must they look down on him, a Jin Xian, that two True Immortals dared come to kidnap him?

Ding Huan summoned the iron pot, but did not leave immediately; instead, he waited on the spot.

"Shopkeeper Ding, truly what a small world. Back then I was already in Inviting Moon Xiancheng, you simply didn't pay me any mind. I never imagined that after all these years, we could meet again here."

That late-stage True Immortal cultivator, seeing that Ding Huan had actually waited outside the city, let out a loud laugh, his voice carrying an indescribable excitement.

Ding Huan couldn't even be bothered to speak; he simply tossed over a wind blade.

"You…" That True Immortal cultivator, seeing Ding Huan attack him with a wind blade, was instantly so angry he laughed.

But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He felt that the domain around him had been completely locked down by Ding Huan. Under Ding Huan's domain, he couldn't even talk of resisting—moving a single finger was incomparably difficult.

At this moment he could only watch helplessly as the wind blade sliced across his own neck, and then watch helplessly as a ball of flame descended from above his head.

"Dao Friend Ding, spare my life! I came here not to forcibly…"

The other mid-stage True Immortal cultivator, seeing Ding Huan kill his companion with just a single wind blade, had terror practically spilling out of his eyes.

Unfortunately, he too didn't even finish a single plea for mercy before Ding Huan's flame engulfed him just the same.

"Two idiots. If I were this easy for you fellows to take away, I wouldn't have lived to today. There are still a few who haven't come over—consider it their luck." Those were the last words he heard before his death.

Having killed the two cultivators pursuing him, Ding Huan collected the rings from the two fellows, destroyed the bodies and erased the traces, then controlled the iron pot to swiftly head toward the array gate exit of the Fourth Immortal Domain.

Inside the iron pot, Ding Huan took out the jade slip Fairy Wen had given him.

The first section of the jade slip contained the entry coordinates for the Myriad Void Swamp. Upon seeing these coordinates, Ding Huan halted the iron pot.

The entry point for the Myriad Void Swamp was unexpectedly not within the void itself, but rather a void vortex between the Fourth Immortal Domain and the Fifth Immortal Domain.

One could say this was the very edge of the Fifth Immortal Domain.

Despite feeling extremely helpless inside, Ding Huan could only redirect the iron pot, push its speed to the maximum, and charge toward the Fifth Immortal Domain.

Sitting inside the iron pot, Ding Huan already knew that flying over like this wouldn't work.

Even a low-grade flying immortal artifact would take a hundred years to travel from the Fourth Immortal Domain to the Fifth Immortal Domain.

His iron pot was certainly much faster than a low-grade immortal artifact; as for whether it was comparable to a mid-grade flying immortal artifact or a high-grade flying immortal artifact, Ding Huan didn't dare be certain.

Still, he estimated that, at his current speed, reaching the entrance to the Myriad Void Swamp would take at least ten years.

No good—he couldn't endure this speed.

He had to continue refining the iron pot.

The iron pot had been refined by Ding Huan to the forty-ninth layer of restrictions. Inside the iron pot, Ding Huan piled up a heap of immortal crystals and began to charge toward the iron pot's fiftieth layer of restrictions.
