Chapter 593: Returning to the Pangu Great World Once More
The Dao Li Immortal Lord stared blankly at Ding Huan, inwardly thinking, is this a small matter?
Ding Huan's face darkened: "What? Does the Immortal Lord feel there's a problem with this matter?"
Dao Li Immortal Lord sighed and said: "For a Moon Walk Heaven ascension, one must first build an altar, light the Spirit-Connecting Incense. After the Spirit-Connecting Incense burns continuously for seven times seven, forty-nine days, and an Ascension Golden Ring appears, only then can ascension occur."
Ding Huan was startled—this Ascension Ring, isn't it basically the same as that ascension tower on the Triple Heaven Star Land?
"What exactly is the Spirit-Connecting Incense?"
This time Dao Li Immortal Lord did not hesitate, taking out a golden long incense stick a full zhang long, as thick as the mouth of a large sea-bowl.
Ding Huan swept it with his divine sense and immediately knew this was no ordinary refined long incense, but something nurtured through the watering of wish-power.
Dao Li Immortal Lord continued: "Precisely because this Spirit-Connecting Incense is extremely hard to come by, we thought of seeking out Light Bright Heaven.
Light Bright Heaven is also a complete realm from which one can ascend, and as long as one finds a suitable location, the Spirit-Connecting Incense is not required."
"Light the Spirit-Connecting Incense now, I'll wait here for forty-nine days." Ding Huan wouldn't care whether it was troublesome or not; he had come here precisely to see the ascension situation.
Sensing the firmness in Ding Huan's tone, Dao Li Immortal Lord could only respond: "May we tidy up this place first, and then come back to light the Spirit-Connecting Incense?"
After speaking, seemingly worried Ding Huan would misunderstand, he added: "All ascenders from our Moon Walk Heaven ascend right here at the Moon Walk Plaza."
Ding Huan nodded: "Fine."
After speaking, Ding Huan walked to the side of that giant immortal warship, tossed down several array patterns, then raised his hand and stored this entire immortal warship into his ring.
Watching Ding Huan's actions, the corner of Dao Li Immortal Lord's mouth twitched.
Although he knew Ding Huan was the Immortal Lord of Light Bright Heaven, in his heart he still hoped to know the specific location of Light Bright Heaven.
Only this time, it seemed all the people on the immortal warship had been completely slaughtered.
To know the location of Light Bright Heaven, one could only rely on this immortal warship.
Now Ding Huan had even taken the immortal warship away.
The key was that this immortal warship was an important asset of Moon Walk Heaven, and rebuilding it was no easy matter. It could even be said that rebuilding another one was practically impossible.
Before Dao Li Immortal Lord could ask Ding Huan to send out all the fallen cultivators from the immortal warship, Ding Huan proactively tossed all the corpses of the fallen cultivators from the warship onto the plaza.
Only, not a single ring remained on any of these cultivators.
Seeing Ding Huan act so thoroughly, Dao Li Immortal Lord said nothing more.
He was certain that as long as he uttered half a word of nonsense, Ding Huan might find an excuse to kill him.
The Moon Walk Plaza was quickly tidied up. All the remaining clansmen of the Ku Immortal Clan, led by Ku Ku Yu Chen, left the Moon Walk Plaza.
This time the Ku Clan wasn't merely crippled, but nearly completely annihilated; now they had to hurry to lick their wounds and recuperate.
This could be considered Ku Ku Yu Chen's miscalculation. He thought he could take out Dao Li Immortal Lord this time, but ended up with both sides badly injured.
In the middle of the Moon Walk Plaza an altar was erected, and a Spirit-Connecting Incense stick a full zhang long was lit.
A late-stage Immortal Emperor stood by the altar waiting.
Ding Huan did not leave this plaza; his divine sense had long since swept over parts of Moon Walk Heaven.
Everywhere here was permeated with a kind of incense-and-fire atmosphere, and the entire star land was decorated in an earthy yellow. In Ding Huan's eyes, there wasn't the slightest hint of vitality.
Although there were forty-nine days, Ding Huan did not cultivate. He kept observing the aura of this altar and that Spirit-Connecting Incense.
After the Spirit-Connecting Incense was lit, a streak of azure rose up, shooting straight into the clouds and disappearing.
Ding Huan tried to use his divine sense to feel it, but the moment his divine sense touched that azure incense-fire, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, seemingly urging him to worship.
Ding Huan greatly disliked this feeling; he withdrew his divine sense.
That cultivator at the peak of Immortal Emperor preparing to ascend was already devoutly kneeling at the edge of the altar, his divine soul seemingly completely merged with the Spirit-Connecting Incense.
Ding Huan slightly frowned; he felt this was not true ascension, but a request for ascension.
This Spirit-Connecting Incense was more like a signal of request being sent out.
As if calculated, on the forty-ninth day, the Spirit-Connecting Incense had just barely finished burning.
Ding Huan saw a vortex appear above the Spirit-Connecting Incense.
Faint golden light radiated out from this vortex; Ding Huan swept his divine sense into it.
Wave after wave of vast, grand auras were captured by Ding Huan. Not only that, there were also the Great Dao aura and Great Dao rules far surpassing those of the Immortal World permeating within.
At this moment Ding Huan knew this ascension vortex was real.
After passing through this ascension vortex, it was absolutely a higher-level realm.
That kind of heaven-and-earth rules could not be faked.
That cultivator at the peak of late-stage Immortal Emperor stood at the spot on the altar where the Spirit-Connecting Incense had been burned. The vortex gradually extended downward, and the golden color slowly covered this cultivator.
Eventually it formed a golden ring of light.
Presumably this was the Ascension Ring.
Waves of low, solemn Buddhist chants rose up. Some cultivators observing the ascension from afar had already devoutly knelt down.
Looking at their devout postures, Ding Huan suspected those people who had been frenziedly slaughtering forty-nine days ago had nothing to do with them.
Who could have imagined that these devout believers had been frenziedly slaughtering forty-nine days ago?
This Moon Walk Heaven was truly too bizarre.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the golden ring of light covering the ascending cultivator. He could clearly see this golden ring of light wrap up this cultivator and then slowly carry him into that cosmic vortex, until he disappeared.
There was no Lei Jie; the ascension process was completely different from the ascension situations he knew of.
Looking at those cultivators still devoutly kneeling on the ground around the plaza, Ding Huan summoned the Universe Pot. The Universe Pot activated and swiftly shot out of Moon Walk Heaven.
Dao Li Immortal Lord watching from afar as Ding Huan shot out of Moon Walk Heaven finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this powerhouse really had just taken a look at the ascension and left, without going to other places in Moon Walk Heaven.
He knew Ding Huan had taken the immortal warship because he was worried he would go to Light Bright Heaven, but he could not go to Light Bright Heaven anymore. Even though he longed to know the location of Light Bright Heaven, he would not go.
This Immortal Lord of Light Bright Heaven was simply too terrifying.
The Universe Pot once again returned to the vast cosmos, and Ding Huan took out a pile of rings.
He took out Heng Luanner's ring first; this woman was the Heng Clan Immortal Lord, one of the most powerful figures aboard the Moonwalk Immortal Vessel.
The ring's seals were quickly broken by Ding Huan, but the pile of Immortal Crystals inside meant nothing to him.
Yet one Immortal Spirit Vein caught Ding Huan's attention.
This Immortal Spirit Vein didn't even qualify as a high-grade Immortal Spirit Vein, yet it brimmed with intense worship energy—was this a Worship Vein?
Worship Veins formed with extreme difficulty, requiring countless years of worship energy to cultivate.
Looking at the Immortal Materials, Immortal Spirit Herbs, and various Immortal Pills inside Heng Luanner's ring, Ding Huan finally understood why these people sought the Light Heaven.
Because they were poor.
They were truly destitute—it wasn't just about worship ascension to the Divine Realm.
None of these Immortal Materials or Immortal Spirit Herbs appealed to Ding Huan.
He could pull out any single Immortal Spirit Herb from his own ring, and its grade and quality would utterly dwarf everything in Heng Luanner's ring.
Soon, Ding Huan pulled out a Void Orientation Disc.
The disc was exquisitely crafted; as soon as his divine sense touched it, he saw the location of the Semi-Divine Star Continent.
On this Void Orientation Disc, the location was marked as the Light Heaven.
From the Dao resonance emanating from the disc, it was clearly quite ancient.
Yet the Dao resonance regarding the Light Heaven was startlingly fresh—likely added later by Heng Luanner.
This woman did have some ability.
Crafting a Void Orientation Disc was a divine art; Ding Huan had never studied this art, but Heng Luanner clearly knew it well.
The disc didn't just mark the Light Heaven—it listed hundreds of realms and star continents, and Ding Huan spotted the Pangu Great World.
The location marked for the Pangu Great World was complex, seemingly requiring passage through two cosmic vortices.
Behind the Pangu Great World's mark was another annotation: "Rules incomplete, valueless."
So they truly didn't care for the Pangu Great World.
The Moonwalk Heaven folk dismissed it, but Ding Huan was very pleased with this Void Orientation Disc.
Though he could vaguely sense the Pangu Great World's void location, precisely navigating there would take at least decades—or more.
With this Void Orientation Disc and his Cosmic Cauldron, he estimated he could find the Pangu Great World in just a few years.
Ding Huan set up a Void Immortal Array on the Cosmic Cauldron, instructed Yijie to watch over it, then resumed his cultivation.
A year later, Ding Huan reached Immortal Emperor Level Six and passed through the first cosmic vortex.
Five years later, Ding Huan reached Immortal Emperor Level Seven and passed through the second cosmic vortex.
On his Void Orientation Disc, the location of the Pangu Great World was now clearly visible.
Ding Huan ceased his cultivation.
Several years had passed, yet Yijie remained only a foot tall; aside from his four horns growing longer, the rest of him looked increasingly like a pig.
Fortunately, his temperament matched a pig's perfectly—he'd faithfully guarded the Cosmic Cauldron's array on the deck for years.
His cultivation had even reached the Second-Level Immortal Beast realm.
As they neared the Pangu Great World's void dock, Ding Huan retracted the Cosmic Cauldron and landed with Yijie on the Void Plaza.
A casual sweep of his divine sense told him the Pangu Great World had suffered no major upheavals.
Yet at the entrance to the Pangu Great World, Ding Huan spotted a notice: "Seeking Body-Forming Immortal Materials."
Brother Xingpan's physical body had clearly not recovered—if it had, such a notice would not exist.
"Great Immortal Supervisor?" The moment Ding Huan appeared in the Teleportation Hall, someone recognized him—a young Immortal King in charge of the teleportation array rushed forward in delight.
"How is Immortal Emperor Brother Xingpan?" Ding Huan nodded and asked.
The Immortal King hesitated, then said, "The Emperor is unwell; the Immortal Court is now jointly managed by the Wu Clan and the Human Clan's Crossing Emperor."
Ding Huan frowned. "The Crossing Emperor—one of the Five Emperors? Wasn't he killed by Brother Xingpan during the siege years ago? How is he now controlling the Immortal Court?"
