Chapter 640: Dao Xu

Yuan Feng quickly arrived at the main peak of Qian Lei Mountain and said with a smile: "Ding… friend."

Only after arriving here did he remember that any title he used for Ding Huan felt inappropriate.

"Ding Manager"? Ding Huan was merely an outer sect disciple, not a manager. Though in truth, Qian Lei Mountain had only Ding Huan alone.

Calling him "Disciple Ding"? Ding Huan wasn't even officially an outer sect disciple—he was merely staying temporarily at Qian Lei Mountain.

Calling him by his name directly seemed disrespectful.

Ding Huan was under the protection of several elders, who had specifically instructed him not to disturb Ding Huan's cultivation.

"Elder Yuan, is there something you need?" Ding Huan politely bowed and asked.

Yuan Feng pulled out a jade slip sealed with forbidden marks and handed it to Ding Huan: "Friend Ding, this was delivered by the Shao Sect."

While waiting on the sidelines, Ding Huan's spiritual sense also observed the surroundings.

Within the Dao Xu, there were not only luck stones, but far more top-tier divine materials and divine veins.

These were life-saving treasures, and for those who didn't need them, they might not fetch any price at all.

"Thank you, Elder Yuan," Ding Huan replied gratefully.

Freelancers needed divine crystals to enter the Dao Xu.

"Yijie, let's go," Ding Huan called out to Yijie.

At the entrance to these streets, Ding Huan saw three swirling Dao-character inscriptions: Dao Xu Street.

Mainly because he didn't know how to upgrade his spiritual eye.

"Since the message has been delivered, I'll take my leave," Yuan Feng said, reluctant to linger longer at Qian Lei Mountain.

In any matter, one must always yield to the Central Divine Lands and the Upper Divine Lands.

After leaving Qing Lei Shendao Sect, Ding Huan immediately summoned the Cosmic Cauldron.

This item was essentially unobtainable—sect disciples who acquired luck stones never sold them.

Ding Huan didn't even bother listening to what came after.

Seeing a cultivator step into the entrance and instantly be teleported to Dao Xu Street, Ding Huan followed suit, stepping in and immediately landing at the entrance of Dao Xu Street.

Ding Huan was at the eleventh layer of the Divine Cultivation Realm, and with the Cosmic Cauldron's speed, even the farthest distance should have taken only a few days.

Now that he'd heard the Divine Mu He could upgrade his spiritual eye, what was he waiting for? He had to go.

Yet he flew for over a month before finally stopping at the outskirts of the Dao Xu.

Still, as the only daughter of the former sect master, Wen Jiyue naturally had some people willing to help her act.

After purchasing a talisman to enter the Dao Xu, Ding Huan remained at the Dao Xu Square to wait.

He definitely had to go—his main purpose, even his only purpose, for coming here was the Divine Mu He.

Before Wen Ji's stay at Qian Lei Mountain, the two previous peak masters had both died under mysterious circumstances.

Ding Huan dared not sweep with his spiritual sense—he had sensed that even World Gods here weren't the strongest.

After all, the faction led by Xuan Jinchen had sent messages to the Xuan Sect Master and received no reply.

The Dao Xu contained not only cultivators from the Lower Divine Lands, but also from the Central and Upper Divine Lands.

Luck stones were hard currency, far more desirable than divine crystals.

Cultivators from the Lower Divine Lands had too low a status.

Ding Huan immediately realized he had no divine crystals on him.

Tonight, at the Feiyang Trading House auction in the Dao Xu, a Divine Mu He would be auctioned.

It might well be an open secret.

To enter the Dao Xu, first go to the Dao Xu Square.

If outside the Dao Xu, Wen Jiyue would come here to meet him.

Several overlapping, bustling streets appeared before Ding Huan.

The teleportation distance was very short.

Wen Jiyue alone could never have successfully ambushed Xuan Jinchen.

A rough sweep with his spiritual sense revealed at least two to three million people in the square.

Soon, Ding Huan's spiritual sense settled on the Divine Rice.

With this cultivation speed, what was the point of cultivating? It clearly had something to do with luck stones.

Even before entering the Dao Xu, Ding Huan felt its bustle.

This was also the main reason Ding Huan could remain safely at Qian Lei Mountain.

Qian Lei Mountain was no good place.

He remembered only one thing: the Divine Mu He.

Should he sell some items? Ding Huan's spiritual sense swept his world and realized he had almost nothing of value to sell.

He had read the Dao Xu's introduction and knew that once inside, no messages could be sent out.

Even if we don't need it, we can sell it for a pile of divine crystals. Besides, I know there's a mid-grade Divine Spirit vein here…"

Ding Huan had only one thought: this was the Heavenly Street of the Divine Realm.

The entrance to this street was actually a teleportation array.

Items like lanterns and World-Breaking Talismans, he would never sell.

The Dao Xu Square was so vast that otherwise, it would have been crushed long ago.

He wasn't yet clear on the price of this item.

With the Cosmic Cauldron's speed, as long as he didn't want to be caught, no one could pursue him.

Thinking back to Wen Jiyue's conspicuous actions upon leaving Qing Lei Shendao Sect, many guessed she had almost certainly ambushed Xuan Jinchen—and possibly succeeded.

Ordinary cultivators who obtained Qi Yun Stones didn't even need to come to Dao Xu Street—they were already traded away. This street could be used for cultivation; it must have been arranged with Qi Yun Stones.

These sects and factions actually built an entrance here just to collect Divine Crystals—how shameless.

There are a few Nine-Colored Void Lotus and Twin-Leaf Immortal Reed.

His Illusory Eye's rank is still Heaven Eye Level One.

Once you participate, the consequences might be excellent—or extremely severe.

Since he still had some Divine Crystals unused, Ding Huan decided to use them all in the Cosmic Cauldron this time, just right for cultivating to the peak of the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

Fortunately, cultivation isn't allowed on the Cosmic Cauldron; otherwise, he couldn't even enter now.

So Dao Xu is the most bustling place in the Divine Realm.

He didn't know whether Wen Jiyue had entered Dao Xu or was still outside it.

After scanning through these introductions, Ding Huan gained some understanding of Dao Xu.

He and Wen Jiyue had collaborated before—those were purely relationships of mutual benefit.

The struggle between Xuan Jincheng and Wen Jiyue—unless absolutely necessary, no one in the sect wanted to get involved.

With so many valuable items and Qi Yun Stones inside Dao Xu, it's naturally a paradise of cultivation resources for cultivators.

"Understood, let's go." Ding Huan waved his hand and swept Yi Jie into the Five Elements World; as for what Yi Jie said, he heard it and let it pass.

There's likely a Divine King here.

Now that Divine Mu He has appeared here, how could he let it slip away?

If there's no news, then Wen Jiyue must have entered Dao Xu.

Fortunately, he could still afford these one hundred lower-grade Divine Crystals.

After the Yuan Steward left, Ding Huan broke the seal, and the jade slip transmitted Wen Jiyue's voice: "Ding Huan, I need your help. I discovered a great spot in Dao Xu. There's Divine Mu He here—each plant is priceless; it's a treasure that can upgrade your Spiritual Eye."

His divine sense could already sense the bustle of Dao Xu Street through the teleportation array—what's the point of setting up such an array here?

He wanted to kill Xuan Jincheng; Wen Jiyue wanted to kill Xuan Jincheng; they were perfectly aligned.

Ding Huan knew Wen Jiyue must have first gone to some Divine City, then taken a teleportation array to Dao Xu.

Once in Dao Xu, see if there's a chance to advance to the Heavenly God Realm.

In Dao Xu Street, Qi Yun Stones are the most sought-after.

Dao Xu Square has an entrance into Dao Xu; sect disciples need a Sect Token or simply use Divine Crystals to enter.

So those who understand clearly basically won't participate.

To say the two sides are close enough to exchange letters—he really didn't believe it.

When Ding Huan's divine sense scanned the auction introduction, he immediately felt delighted.

Searching for the Xuan Sect Master on Lei Shan still yielded no news.

After all, this is something from the Immortal World.

Ding Huan felt it unnecessary—he still lacked sufficient cultivation, so he might as well cultivate for a few days inside the Cosmic Cauldron.

The Divine Realm is incomparably larger than the Immortal World. This is merely a corner of the Lower Divine Region. Whether it's the Pangu Great World or the Half-God Continent, if Ding Huan fully activated the Cosmic Cauldron, no distance would take more than two days.

This is a struggle between the old Sect Master's faction and the current Sect Master's faction; not participating affects no one much.

Ding Huan took the jade slip, silently wondering: Did Wen Jiyue send him a jade slip?

Although it wasn't yet confirmed whether Xuan Jincheng had truly encountered trouble, from Wen Jiyue's series of actions before leaving the sect, Xuan Jincheng must have run into trouble.

He truly didn't want to linger in such a place.

Whether he remembers or not depends entirely on Yi Jie's destiny.

The street was wide, shops lined both sides, and people came and went.

No cultivator in the Divine Realm has never been to Dao Xu.

After Xuan Jincheng was eliminated by Wen Jiyue and Ding Huan together, Wen Jiyue's status clearly rose.

Later, Qian Tun also died right before his eyes; among the many outer sect disciples who entered Lei Shan, only Ding Huan survived.

Hearing Ding Huan was leaving, Yi Jie immediately stopped cultivating and scurried over: "Master Huan, if you find things acceptable outside, please remember to let me out and let me see the world."

Since Wen Jiyue invited him via jade slip, it means he knows that the person aware of Divine Mu He and the mid-grade Divine Spirit Vein isn't just Wen Jiyue.

After a quick scan of the street, Ding Huan entered a merchant building and spent three Divine Crystals to buy several Dao Xu introductions and some notes.

Yi Jie's cultivation was indeed diligent; though still a Level One Divine Beast, his aura had clearly strengthened, and his body had grown a full circle.

When Ding Huan saw the one hundred lower-grade Divine Crystals, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this teleportation array didn't require Divine Crystals to function.

After a long while, Ding Huan finally set aside thoughts of obtaining Divine Mu He and listened again to Wen Jiyue's recorded message.

Ding Huan arrived at Dao Xu Square, pulled out his communication bead and sent a message to Wen Jiyue, then checked how many Divine Crystals were needed for an entry token into Dao Xu.

Ding Huan exerted full control over the Cosmic Cauldron.

To Ding Huan's disappointment, despite the dense Divine Spirit Qi outside, it lacked substance—he progressed so slowly in cultivation it was ridiculous.

Ding Huan silently cursed: Dao Xu belongs to the universe.

Even if the consequence were best, how much better could it be than now?

After a moment's hesitation, Ding Huan decided to exchange Divine Spirit Rice.

After spending dozens of Divine Crystals on a ticket to join the Feiyang Merchant Guild, nearly all his Divine Crystals were spent.

He'd been in the Divine Realm for several years and still had only a hundred or so lower-grade Divine Crystals—how pitifully he'd gotten by.

(Fellow Daoist, good night!)
