Chapter 652: Yellow Springs Seal
The two Divine Monarchs had both been preparing to come over and discuss teaming up with Yi Qi, but upon seeing Ding Huan so ferocious, they both hurriedly stopped in their tracks.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the two of them, and the two instinctively turned around.
In fact, for a Heavenly God realm cultivator like Ding Huan, even if he came from a major sect, if they forced the issue, they would feel no psychological pressure at all.
Who could have known that Ding Huan was a pig pretending to eat a tiger—his cultivation seemed weak on the surface, yet the strength he just displayed was absolutely mid Divine Monarch or late Divine Monarch.
Ding Huan continued to speed forward.
It was just that there were simply too many cultivators around the edges of the Reincarnation Swamp. It wasn't until half a month later that Ding Huan finally found a stretch of area with no one around.
Seeing no one nearby, Ding Huan set up several monitoring array patterns at the edge, and made some divine sense imprints, before unhurriedly charging into the swamp.
Ding Huan raised his hand and cut off a section of tree root, then summoned the Grand Void Flame.
The correct version of this content is at 6/9 shu. ba! 【6*9*s*h*u-b-】
Fortune condensed into a physical object, transforming into a spherical Fortune Stone—this truly was something he had neither thought of nor seen before.
Standing on the boat, Ding Huan's divine essence churned, and the Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat could still shoot through the Reincarnation Swamp like an arrow.
Even without founding a sect, as long as he could set up gathering-divine-spirit arrays in the wild, and had Fortune Stones, he could cultivate.
An ancient talisman that allowed one to walk in the Reincarnation Swamp, yet had a time limit.
That familiar Dao rhyme aura, just like back then, as if… reincarnation.
For convenience, Ding Huan still summoned an Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat.
He immediately went over, and within the reach of his gaze, there was nothing at all.
This single slash carved out the Yellow Springs beneath the blade, severing reincarnation.
If he couldn't find the Divine Mumu Lotus, then so be it. He'd wait until he advanced to the Divine Monarch realm, then come back to search.
It could be seen that every cultivator about to find a Fortune Stone had to face the Law of Sinking beforehand.
It reminded Ding Huan of a line of poetry: "Suddenly looking back… yet there, where the lanterns are few." Indeed, the thing called fate is hard to explain.
On the fourth day, Ding Huan found the second Fortune Stone.
Fortune Stones were coveted by everyone—an treasure that, once taken out on Dao Ruin Street, would have countless people scrambling for it.
Now, in just the time it takes to burn a single incense stick, the Grand Void had already become a first-grade Divine Flame.
The reason he fused in the Law of Time was to fake it.
It was just that the mottled aura within this Fire Origin Crystal was simply too abundant; the further the Grand Void upgraded, the more time it consumed.
After the seal was opened, inside was actually another stone.
For him, he only needed to refine a few more.
Carrying an aura of the Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth, it seemed that as long as this aura was unleashed, it could bring forth the fortune of Heaven and Earth.
Colorless, odorless, yet tangible.
Ding Huan couldn't help but sigh helplessly—how was anyone supposed to play this? Apart from someone like him who didn't fear the Law of Sinking, anyone else who encountered it would be done for.
The tree root he harvested was no small thing; what he cut off alone was a hundred thousand zhang long.
It was the time when he had, under everyone's gaze, controlled the Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat to walk out of the Reincarnation Swamp.
He sealed the stone and sent it into his Five Elements World.
This time, Ding Huan had controlled it well.
But his divine sense caught a round object. Ding Huan reached out and grabbed this ball-like thing.
Ding Huan raised his hand and grabbed the stone in his palm.
Yet the fact that he could still come out after encountering the Law of Sinking in the Reincarnation Swamp was seen by many people.
Even if he couldn't find the Divine Mumu Lotus, this trip was already enough for him.
In his Life-and-Death Mirror, he had also absorbed some fortune from the Immortal World.
Half a month later, the Grand Void had advanced to a third-grade Divine Flame.
At the very least, the talisman had to look like it was several hundred years old.
The Universe Cauldron was simply too fast. With Ding Huan's current cultivation, controlling the Universe Cauldron, ordinary Heavenly God cultivators would truly find it hard to detect.
Ding Huan grew increasingly anxious. He couldn't spend all his time on this—he had come here to find the Divine Mumu Lotus.
Although without the wooden boat, given his understanding of the Law of Sinking, he wouldn't sink into the Reincarnation Swamp either.
He couldn't just go out like this.
Ding Huan's divine sense swept across, and he saw three Divine Mumu Lotuses growing among the grass.
But why hadn't he discovered these three Divine Mumu Lotuses earlier?
Because of a single stone, he had comprehended the Yellow Springs Seal among the Seven Seals of Reincarnation.
If word got out that he could walk freely in the Reincarnation Swamp, the entire God Realm would probably become his enemy.
If it really came to him becoming a person hunted by the entire God Realm, he'd accept it.
The very instant he turned around, he sensed the aura of the Divine Mumu Lotus.
Ding Huan took out a jade box, placed the Fortune Stone inside, and then sealed it with a restriction.
Without the Divine Mumu Lotus, no amount of Fortune Stones would be of any use to him.
As Ding Huan found more and more Fortune Stones, he summed up some experience.
It was just that the Divine Mumu Lotus he desired most—he had never found it.
Ding Huan suddenly summoned his long saber, rolling up ten-thousand-zhang saber light as he slashed down.
After using it, the talisman markings on the ancient talisman in Ding Huan's hand visibly dimmed somewhat.
Even a Heavenly God realm cultivator should be able to tell at a glance that this talisman had been used not long ago.
At this distance, even if a Divine King came, they shouldn't dream of probing him with divine sense.
Sheathing his saber, Ding Huan burst into laughter.
A divine talisman fused with the Law of Time, the Law of Descent, and the Law of Space was forged by Ding Huan; in his hand, it was the size of a miniature volleyball.
Tai Xu stirred the Fire Origin Crystal, its aura skyrocketing wildly.
Moreover, using divine materials also seemed inappropriate—it was best to use something beyond both immortal and divine materials...
With this Destiny Stone in his hand, he could establish a sect.
This root is undoubtedly a divine artifact; use this to forge the ancient talisman.
Now he had acquired thirty-seven Destiny Stones, which made Ding Huan realize that although Destiny Stones were found in many places within the Dao Ruins.
Ding Huan was no stranger to the concept of destiny.
The Cosmic Cauldron activated; in the span of an instant, it burst out of the Reincarnation Marsh from the very spot where Ding Huan had first entered, then vanished.
Three months later, Ding Huan effortlessly forged a Level Four Divine Talisman.
The Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat advanced slowly beneath his feet, his divine sense leaving not the slightest detail unexamined.
It would only be a matter of time before it spread.
Ding Huan summoned the Cosmic Cauldron and inscribed new law patterns upon it, ensuring the Law of Descent could no longer affect him.
Boom! Ten-thousand-zhang sword light extended into one hundred thousand sword chasms, and the killing aura within each chasm never ceased, continuing to stretch endlessly along the Huang Quan River hanging in the void...
This is undoubtedly something related to reincarnation.
Although the divine talisman had never been forged before, learning it posed no difficulty for him.
One slash cuts the Huang Quan, leaving no trace of reincarnation.
On the seventh day, Ding Huan found the third Destiny Stone.
In the Immortal World, Tai Xu had not upgraded into a divine flame not because it could not, but due to the restrictions of cosmic laws.
Time passed as Ding Huan continuously forged talismans.
Ding Huan tossed in several more Fire Origin Crystals.
To avoid detection, Ding Huan guided the Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat deep into the marsh for three days before beginning his search in earnest.
Vast waves of Dao energy surged toward him; suddenly, Ding Huan saw a vision from his past life: himself controlling Star No. 5 as it plummeted onto that yellowish-brown abandoned planet...
After hesitating, he retracted the Cosmic Cauldron.
With this single slash, all paths of reincarnation were severed; the sword scar in the void resembled a river suspended in the air, carrying a aura of death and annihilation.
Ding Huan stared at the stone in his hand; though he did not know what kind of stone it was, it had enabled him to slash through reincarnation and comprehend the Huang Quan Seal.
Ding Huan's gaze fell upon the portion of root he had severed in the Immortal World.
The talisman was forged, but it still required time to mature.
His divine sense swept the surroundings once more; Ding Huan confirmed there was no issue here.
Standing atop the Unsinkable Divine Wood Boat, Ding Huan felt a surge of boldness.
Ding Huan pondered for a long while, unable to understand—perhaps it was the nature of divine artifacts to conceal themselves? Carefully, he stored away the three divine plants, then summoned the Cosmic Cauldron, preparing to leave quickly.
Ding Huan extended his divine sense; less than an incense stick's time passed before he sensed a disturbance of Dao energy.
We can go now. Fortune is endless, but enough is enough.
Acquiring one Destiny Stone greatly boosted Ding Huan's confidence.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to sense something; they instinctively looked up, yet found nothing.
Under this slash, all reincarnation vanished.
Ding Huan sighed; there was only one solution: forge a single ancient talisman.
A sensation of indescribable comfort surged through him—was this the Destiny Stone?
Even a Divine King, if he had not mastered the Law of Descent and the Law of Time, could not tell this talisman had just been forged.
Ding Huan guided the boat swiftly to the location of the Dao energy disturbance—it was a tiny natural concealment array.
Tai Xu burned the root slowly; Ding Huan pulled out a Fire Origin Crystal and tossed it in.
But the Reincarnation Marsh had never been searched.
Ding Huan felt this was sufficient—if he could forge such an ancient talisman, it would suffice to deal with the past.
Before obtaining the Destiny Stone, he had truly not cared much.
The materials for forging this divine talisman certainly could not be immortal materials, and he did not possess many divine materials.
Although it was a very small natural concealment array, Ding Huan spent a full half-month before he could open it.
He needed a reason for why he could walk through the Void Marsh.
We can go now.
Three months later, Ding Huan acquired thirty-seven Destiny Stones.
That day, Ding Huan's divine sense, as usual, scanned the marsh when suddenly he sensed a different disturbance of Dao energy.
This disturbance felt familiar—he seemed to have encountered it before...
Ding Huan turned around, preparing to return.
This stone was not a Destiny Stone; it was an oval stone, half-gray, half-white.
Fortunately, he had never abandoned his talisman-forging techniques.
That was the direction of the Law of Descent's movement—that was where the Destiny Stone appeared.
Three days later, Ding Huan stopped.
It had taken him months to reach the Reincarnation Marsh in the Dao Ruins; this time, he returned to the place where he had trained with Wen Jiyue in merely three days.
This place was quiet; Ding Huan decided to raise his Illusory Eye to its highest Heavenly Eye level here.
(Friend, good night!)
