523. Chapter 518: Huan Ge Who Doesn't Boast

Ding Huan saw Cang Diyi's disbelief and said bluntly:

"Cang friend, even I can't find the Pangu Great World, and I'm from the Pangu Great World. What makes you think you can find it?"

"Besides, with your cultivation level, the moment you encounter even a slightly stronger opponent, your life will be lost in the boundless void."

"If you don't care if you die, have you considered Xiyun beside you? Your consort died for you—shouldn't you take care of her younger sister?"

Cang Diyi wanted to say he never made enemies and no one would come to kill him.

But the words died on his lips—he knew it was self-deception.

Not to mention their flight artifact was a top-grade flying immortal artifact; even that alone would draw envy.

Even without a top-grade flying immortal artifact, wandering aimlessly through the void with Xiyun wasn't an option.

Precisely because he understood this, he dared not stray too far from Luxing Immortal Continent.

"But…"

Ding Huan didn't wait for Cang Diyi to finish: "But what? You're wasting time in the void dragging around a little girl—it's pointless."

"If you return to Luxing Immortal Continent, you might still have a chance to reach Immortal Emperor and avenge your sect and consort."

"Surviving in hiding is fine—I've done it too. But aimless survival like yours? That's the kind I despise most."

Cang Diyi fell silent. He knew Ding Huan was right, but he also knew returning to Luxing Immortal Continent meant certain death.

Wandering the void still offered a sliver of hope.

"Brother-in-law, maybe we should go back… I'm scared wandering in the void…" Xiyun, who had remained silent since initially stopping Ding Huan from boarding the ship, spoke up again.

Cang Diyi clearly cared deeply for this little sister-in-law; after Ding Huan's long persuasion, he still refused—but one word from her, and he gritted his teeth: "Fine. We'll return with Elder Huan."

Ding Huan waved his hand: "Don't call me elder. I'm not much older than you—just call me Huan Ge."

Ding Huan had intended to say he was younger than Cang Diyi, but remembered that in his past life, he was indeed older, so he changed his words mid-sentence.

"Huan Ge, here's the void location orb for Luxing Immortal Continent." Cang Diyi pulled out a crystal orb and handed it to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's spiritual sense swept over the orb—sure enough, a faint red dot appeared on it.

He was speechless. Cang Diyi and Xiyun had been fleeing for how many years, yet Luxing Immortal Continent was still marked? They hadn't dared to move far from it at all.

This grade of location crystal orb, without celestial laws engraved, would lose its positioning the moment you exceeded a certain distance.

Though Cang Diyi claimed he was searching for the Pangu Great World, he was really just circling Luxing Immortal Continent.

He feared what he himself had said—that he couldn't find the Pangu Great World, yet couldn't return to Luxing Immortal Continent either.

"Huan Ge, I know deep down that avoiding the void to search for the Pangu Great World is like blindfolded self-deception… sigh…"

If he were alone, he would have burned his boats long ago.

But with Xiyun, he kept fooling himself that this way might still lead to the Pangu Great World's location.

"It's fine. Ride my ship—you're flying too slow." Ding Huan summoned his Cosmic Pot and gestured for Cang Diyi and Xiyun to board.

Cang Diyi retracted his own flight artifact and brought Xiyun onto Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot.

"Huan Ge, did you come out of the Pangu Great World alone? Why can't you find your way back?" Xiyun, sensing Ding Huan meant no harm, grew bolder.

Ding Huan chuckled: "No, I was chasing a despicable scoundrel and accidentally left the Pangu Great World. When I tried to return, it was too late."

"Do you often chase others?" Once fear faded, Xiyun's curiosity flared.

Ding Huan sighed: "Compared to that, I'm often the one being chased. I only met you because someone was chasing me—I ended up here."

"Huan Ge, you're so powerful—who could chase you?" Xiyun felt Ding Huan's strength was immense, far beyond even her brother-in-law's.

Besides, she found talking to Huan Ge far more pleasant than dealing with her taciturn brother-in-law.

Ding Huan chuckled bitterly: "The one chasing me? You know him—Jia Buqin of the Gujia Clan."

Cang Diyi, listening nearby, widened his eyes at the name: "Huan Ge, you say Jia Buqin is chasing you? He's an Immortal Emperor!"

Ding Huan sneered: "So what? I've killed more than one Heavenly Emperor."

At this, Cang Diyi fell completely silent.

He'd never been to the Pangu Great World, but he'd heard of Heavenly Emperors.

The Heavenly Emperors of the Pangu Great World were all peak or even perfected Immortal Emperors.

Moreover, each Heavenly Emperor was surrounded by a host of Immortal Emperors. For Ding Huan to claim he'd killed more than one? That was outrageous boasting.

True boasting should be restrained—this kind of boasting kills the conversation dead.

He now regretted following this Huan Ge back to Luxing Immortal Continent.

But they were already aboard Ding Huan's ship—they couldn't get off now.

Ding Huan didn't want to waste time—he duplicated the Luxing Immortal Continent location orb.

He returned Cang Diyi's original orb to him and handed him a control flag for the Cosmic Pot:

"Diyi, I'll train for a while. You handle my ship—get us to Luxing Immortal Continent as fast as possible."

"Alright." Cang Diyi replied absently, already thinking how to evade Gujia Clan's pursuit once they reached Luxing Immortal Continent.

Ding Huan returned to his cultivation chamber. As he activated the Great Cosmic Art, the entire Cosmic Pot space filled with dense, overwhelming spiritual qi. Cang Diyi stood frozen, sensing the spiritual qi—this…

If he had this kind of cultivation environment, he would have long since reached Great Yi Immortal, even Great Luo Immortal—why would he still be struggling as a Xuan Immortal?

"Brother-in-law, such dense spiritual qi!" Xiyun was equally stunned.

"Xiyun, cultivate immediately—don't miss this chance!" Cang Diyi snapped back to reality and urged urgently.

"Yes." Xiyun knew her brother-in-law had to pilot the ship and couldn't cultivate.

If so, she couldn't afford to waste this opportunity.

To accelerate his cultivation, Ding Huan even pulled out a supreme-grade spiritual vein.

Four top-grade spiritual veins plus one supreme-grade spiritual vein.

Ding Huan's cultivation advanced even faster.

He was different from others; no matter how fast he cultivated, his foundation would never become unstable and cause his Dao realm to collapse.

This was the greatest advantage of a foundation that grew alongside one's cultivation.

In just over a month, Ding Huan reached the eleventh layer of Luotian Xian.

Four months later, Ding Huan's cultivation advanced to the twelfth layer of Luotian Xian.

Just as Ding Huan was preparing to push forward and reach the peak of Luotian Xian, he was jolted awake by an alarm.

The alarm came from the warning immortal array he had set up outside the Cosmic Pot, indicating someone was attacking his Cosmic Pot.

"Brother Huan…" came Cang Diyi's anxious voice from outside.

Ding Huan sent out his divine sense and saw that the Cosmic Pot was surrounded by three spaceships.

Ding Huan stepped out with a hint of helplessness; at this speed, ordinary spaceships could never catch the Cosmic Pot.

He truly didn't understand how Cang Diyi had let the Cosmic Pot get surrounded.

"Sorry, Brother Huan, I couldn't resist cultivating, so I set up a control immortal array…"

Cang Diyi felt deeply ashamed—it was truly his fault.

In this dense immortal spiritual energy environment, even before he began cultivating, he felt his Dao concept had strengthened.

If he cultivated here, perhaps he could soon reach the Great Yi Xian realm.

So he couldn't resist—he set up a guiding immortal array to fly toward the direction indicated by the crystal ball of Lùxīng Immortal Continent.

His array art was actually quite good—he was a Level Two Immortal Array Master.

On Lùxīng Immortal Continent, to reach late Xuan Xian in such a short time, while also raising his array art to Level Two Immortal Array Master, was truly impressive.

Ding Huan patted Cang Diyi on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself—I share the blame."

Cang Diyi carried a blood-deep grudge; in this cultivation environment, it was indeed difficult to expect him not to cultivate.

After speaking, Ding Huan directly activated the Cosmic Pot's protective array.

Cang Diyi was stunned: "Brother Huan, you can't open the protective array—they're Immortal Kings!"

"Do you know them?" Ding Huan turned back, puzzled.

Cang Diyi nodded: "Yes, the lead spaceship belongs to the Gujia Clan; the other two belong to the Wanjie Merchant Guild and the Jin Clan."

Wanjie Merchant Guild?

He was familiar with this guild—in the cultivation world, Wanjie Merchant Guild had spread throughout the entire universe.

He had even destroyed its headquarters, yet Wanjie Merchant Guild remained a mystery to Ding Huan.

He knew the founder of Wanjie Merchant Guild was certainly not from the cultivation world.

Unfortunately, the man sitting in the void of Wu Bian City had been killed by him, and he gained no useful information.

The three spaceships surrounding Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot held at least five Immortal Kings, over a dozen Luotian Xian, and a host of Daluo Xian.

They coveted Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot.

They had blocked the Cosmic Pot because they all recognized Cang Diyi.

On Lùxīng Immortal Continent, Cang Diyi was still a top-tier genius.

In such a short time, he had risen from a mere Foundation Establishment ant to late Xuan Xian—it was beyond description as mere genius.

But Cang Diyi had offended the Gujia Clan over a woman, causing his sect to be annihilated, and himself to become a hunted dog with nowhere to run, pursued by the Gujia Clan.

Now, this hunted dog had somehow acquired a top-tier flying treasure.

How could they let such a precious thing slip away?

Moreover, Cang Diyi was still the Gujia Clan's target.

Now that Ding Huan had deliberately deactivated the Cosmic Pot's seals, they all froze in shock.

Was this suicide? Or suicide?

"What? If you're not coming aboard, I'll reactivate the sealing array," Ding Huan said, looking at the stunned group.
