Chapter 651

The Cycle Swamp was vast, and the further Ding Huan walked, the more people he encountered.

But most merely wandered along the edges of the Cycle Swamp, their spiritual senses constantly sweeping above it, ready to dash in the instant they spotted a treasure.

This method—enter swiftly, exit swiftly—carried the lowest risk.

Ding Huan knew this was safe, but no different from waiting by a stump for rabbits.

He believed those who could obtain treasures were the ones bold enough to launch their wooden boats into the heart of the Cycle Swamp.

Just as Ding Huan thought this, a terrified scream rang out.

Ding Huan clearly saw a cultivator and his wooden boat entirely swallowed by the Cycle Swamp—the process neither fast nor slow.

All that could be seen was the boat slowly sinking, the cultivator on it desperately trying to leap free, yet he could only rise a foot before falling back onto the boat.

"Friend, wait." A voice of authority called out to Ding Huan.

The correct version of this content is at 6/9 shu-ba reading! 【6*9*s*h*u-b-】

He claimed he wouldn't let others suffer losses, yet his tone carried unmistakable threats.

He was a mid-stage Divine Lord cultivator, likely believing his cultivation crushed Ding Huan's, so his tone and demeanor showed Ding Huan no proper respect.

"On the strength of Feng Baiqing's name, I'll spare your dog's life. Get lost." Ding Huan kicked out.

He didn't want Ding Huan to truly die.

As Yi Qi spoke, he reached out to grab Ding Huan's arm.

Was this not outright suicide?

"Not interested." Ding Huan said without hesitation.

Ding Huan immediately launched a wooden boat and cautiously approached the slowly sinking vessel.

If one mastered this technique, couldn't one do anything they pleased within the Cycle Swamp? Ding Huan looked at the Divine Lord cultivator as if he were a Bai Chi.

"N-no…." Yi Qi's face turned pale.

After the first Zhou Tian passed, Ding Huan sensed a cosmic law he had never encountered before.

Ding Huan's heart steadied—some things are like paper windows; once pierced, you realize how simple they are.

In one phrase, it was the concretization of sinking, forming an entirely new law.

Had he not spent immense effort and time pondering Foundation Establishment techniques back then, where would he be today? Who else, lacking the Great Cosmic Art, could perceive this Sinking Law? "Brother, how were you still able to move just now?" A late-stage Divine Lord cultivator stared urgently at Ding Huan.

There were simply too many treasures in the Cycle Swamp; if one could enter its depths without being swallowed, no price would be too great.

Such a flood of fortune had fallen into his lap.

As the unsinkable boat sank nearly three inches, Ding Huan opened his eyes; his feet pulsed with Dao rhythm, and the wooden boat beneath him began to drift slowly again.

"What do you want?" Ding Huan asked calmly.

The Sinking Law now had a concrete form within his Great Cosmic Art's Dao Sea; moreover, his Great Cosmic Art could already touch this law.

Before that arm could descend, Ding Huan's blade swept—Yi Qi's arm exploded into a mist of blood in midair.

Yet he wasn't seeking treasures in the Cycle Swamp; instead, he directly constructed a Great Cosmic Art Zhou Tian.

The sinking cultivator and his boat were enveloped by this concretized Sinking Law, then dragged deep into the swamp, vanishing entirely…

Everyone froze in shock—this…

Ding Huan continued to cultivate the Great Cosmic Art, perceiving the Sinking Law.

When he reached the shore and retracted the unsinkable boat, the one thought that struck him most was: sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood.

That is, at certain times and places, any boat or cultivator passing through is doomed.

This Zhou Tian incorporated the slowly sinking boat and all the space around it.

Ding Huan took a moment to study Yi Qi.

"Look, even his boat is starting to sink…"

Yi Qi felt his spirit tremble with excitement, unable to suppress his fervor.

Ding Huan said calmly: "I'm friends with Feng Baiqing. Are you certain you want to oppose me?"

Though the Dark Law was also his first time perceiving and integrating it into his Great Cosmic Art, he at least had a clear concept of it.

And now a boat was sinking—this meant the area was unsafe at this moment. If Ding Huan went there, wasn't that suicide? He knew his action was dangerous, but he had no choice unless he left immediately.

All those around stared fixedly at Ding Huan.

He needed to find a place where no one was, enter the Cycle Swamp, and begin his search for the Shen Mu He.

Though he couldn't gauge Ding Huan's cultivation, in his eyes, Ding Huan certainly hadn't reached Divine Lord realm.

After this period, perhaps the area would become safe again.

Ding Huan flickered—Yi Qi's grasp met empty air.

This law was even rarer than the Dark Law.

"Puff!" A spray of blood erupted—Yi Qi's arm was cleanly severed by Ding Huan's blade.

"I am Yi Qi of the Jiuyueshen Sect. I wish to form a team with you to explore the Cycle Swamp. Rest assured, I, Yi Qi, never let others suffer losses."

Yi Qi withdrew from Ding Huan's domain lock, staring at him in terror.

I'm no Bai Chi—why would I reveal such a technique to you? If I asked you for the secret of your cultivation scripture, would you tell me? This Divine Lord cultivator knew his behavior was that of a Bai Chi, yet he couldn't stop his own craving.

If Ding Huan truly could control a wooden boat to survive in the Cycle Swamp, then Yi Qi would strike it rich.

The Jiuyueshen Sect was a sect of the Upper Divine Lands, and he was even somewhat friends with Feng Baiqing. Everyone's desire was palpable—traveling through the Cycle Swamp was too astonishing, its value too terrifying.

So he could only perceive it after others were swallowed by the Sinking Law.

Even if the Jiuyueshen Sect were mighty, they couldn't aid him now; at best, they could kill Ding Huan afterward—but that would mean nothing to him.

Don't be fooled by the wooden boat—it's far superior to the unsinkable one.

The space around him seemed locked by a powerful Dao domain, then a curtain of blades descended.

Can the unsinkable divine wooden boat be used here?

Ding Huan had no intention of fighting this Yi Qi.

He would obtain a pile of cultivation resources in the Reincarnation Swamp...

Without him needing to call out, the many watching cultivators could all see clearly—Ding Huan's boat was slowly sinking.

The truth was, no one recognized Ding Huan; if anyone had recognized him, they would have called him up long ago.

This could only prove that the wooden boat was truly sinking downward, not that something was dragging it down.

"Such a fine thing—how could Fellow Daoist say he has no interest?"

The wooden boat and the cultivator on it had long since been swallowed by the Reincarnation Swamp; Ding Huan was still in the swamp, seemingly lost in some kind of contemplation.

If he didn't make a move, Ding Huan would surely be seized by someone else.

If they succeeded, they would at least earn cultivation resources to advance one major realm; if they failed, they could only go to reincarnation.

How the Law of Sinking was formed, Ding Huan had no intention of considering now; right now he only wanted to find a place with no people, then enter the Reincarnation Swamp to search for the Divine Water Lettuce.

This kind of method Ding Huan knew—he had to obtain it.

Ding Huan turned his head and saw a medium-built cultivator; though his expression as he stared at Ding Huan was very solemn, the irrepressible excitement in his eyes told its own story.

"I don't know." Ding Huan answered simply with three words, then turned and walked away.

If there were truly no other way, he really didn't want to comprehend the Law of Sinking in a crowded place.

Many gazes fell on Ding Huan, not knowing what he meant.

A strong sense of crisis came over him, and Yi Qi madly tried to retreat.

But after sensing this Law, Ding Huan had not the slightest concept of it; the first contact with such a Law made his whole person seem to fall into an extreme spatial sinking.

Ding Huan's divine sense landed on the wooden boat, and he could sense no Dao resonance fluctuation.

He could not guarantee that after being wrapped by the Law of Sinking, he would still be able to comprehend the Law of Sinking and escape in time.

Fortune favors the bold; besides, there was not the slightest danger right now.

From the appearance of the Reincarnation Swamp until now, they had never heard of a wooden boat that had begun sinking in the Reincarnation Swamp still being able to move, let alone reach shore.

Although everyone around clearly understood what was going on, no one was willing to speak up for Ding Huan right now.

Also a cultivator of the Jiuyueshen Sect, this Yi Qi compared to Feng Baiqing was nothing but a pile of shit.

Someone shouted it out loud.

To construct this Zhou Tian, Ding Huan could only approach this sinking wooden boat.

Those cultivators who entered the swamp were staking their lives.

As he spoke, Yi Qi raised his hand and grabbed at Ding Huan.

Hearing Ding Huan's words, Yi Qi laughed wildly: "You, an existence like an ant, dare to claim connections with my Jiuyueshen Sect—seeking death."

He also sensed his own wooden boat sinking, but he was not particularly alarmed.

This kind of person was a desperado.

Being targeted by a sect from a God Realm was no good thing.

Only the next moment he sensed something was wrong.

This space encompassed not only his body, but everything his body came into contact with.

Everyone was stunned by Ding Huan's actions; they had seen people seeking death, but someone seeking death like Ding Huan—this really was the first time they had witnessed it.

Then the wooden boat slowly approached the shore.

Sinking generally targeted consciousness or spirit, but this Law extended such sinking from consciousness and spirit to body and matter.

Ding Huan dragged his blade and came before Yi Qi: "Your Grandpa Huan here said he doesn't want to team up with trash like you—any objections?"

According to the brief introduction of the Reincarnation Swamp that cultivator had just given him, Ding Huan knew that in the Reincarnation Swamp, danger was not present at every moment.

"You dare to make a move on me?" Yi Qi's tone chilled.

It was precisely because he had saved the Jiuyueshen Sect's Feng Baiqing that he had obtained the location of the Reincarnation Swamp.

What Ding Huan was doing now was what a desperado would do.

Yi Qi had just tried to dodge when Ding Huan's domain locked onto him once again.

"Boom!" Yi Qi felt as though all his internal organs had been shattered by that kick.

His whole body was sent flying by Ding Huan's kick; when he crashed down, he landed right at the edge of the Reincarnation Swamp, just a little short of being kicked into it.

Yi Qi scrambled up—how would he dare waste words? —and turned to flee madly.
