Chapter 653: Seizing the Dao Law

Ding Huan was in closed-door cultivation upgrading his Void Eye, yet the people on Dao Market Street kept growing more and more numerous.

A top-grade divine spirit rice had appeared on Dao Market Street; although no one had actually seen this rice grain, it had indeed appeared.

Another matter was that half a year ago, someone in the Dao Market could enter the Samsara Marsh without sinking, which was simply enough to drive people mad.

Either one of these two incidents alone would have every sect in the God Realm flocking to it like ducks to water.

The one who possessed the top-grade divine spirit rice was a loose-cultivator merchant, only this merchant seemed to have vanished after being taken away by the Feiyang Commerce Guild.

The Guild Master of the Feiyang Commerce Guild, Chang Feiyang, had also vanished under the siege of numerous experts; his life or death was now unknown.

So the divine spirit rice just faded into silence like that.

Now there was someone who could enter the Samsara Marsh without sinking, and could even return to the bank of the Samsara Marsh on their own; such an ability was simply the dream existence of every major sect.

Ding Huan frantically kept his consciousness clear; he triggered the Heavenly Thunder Dao Art within the great Dao universe of his consciousness sea.

No>wrong^version? this@is)69}book【bar*read}! +6! 9 book bar? first release of this novel}.

Because he himself said he knew Feng Baiqing of the Jiuyueshen Sect.

He was very clear that if he rushed to undergo Tribulation Crossing and advance to Divine Lord right now.

Dao Market Street.

Closed-door cultivation knows no years; in the blink of an eye another year had passed.

A strand of Dao Law wanting to seize his body sounded utterly absurd, yet it truly happened to Ding Huan.

It must be the problem with this divine spirit vein.

One always has to bear some portion of the danger.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan resolutely turned around and once again entered the Dao Market.

Waves of darkness surged over; Ding Huan's face changed drastically, and a bloody arrow sprayed from his mouth.

As a large group of experts charged into the Dao Market, even more people flooded toward Dao Market Street.

Yijie finally underwent Tribulation Crossing and became a Tier-2 divine beast.

Ding Huan's cultivation had reached the eighth layer of the Heavenly God realm.

If that's the case, why would he still be disturbed by other thoughts?

"Grandpa Huan, this... why is it still here?" Yijie thought Ding Huan had gone to a new place, only to find he was still in closed-door cultivation in this godforsaken Dao Market.

"If this goes on, both spirit and soul will be annihilated..."

This thing was too sensitive; once discovered by others, although it wouldn't be the end, it would be very troublesome.

What Ding Huan hadn't expected was that the existence trying to control his consciousness was actually a strand of Dao Law...

……

Ding Huan had planned to disguise himself and leave the Dao Market, but when he reached the Dao Market's exit, he still hesitated.

Ding Huan alone had consumed a large chunk of it.

Although he had crafted an ancient talisman, he couldn't rely everything on this ancient talisman.

Three hundred years had already passed since Ding Huan arrived here.

……

A mid-grade divine spirit vein — even a sect couldn't consume it all in ten years.

Ding Huan lost his enthusiasm for closed-door cultivation.

Best to find a way to go to the Upper God Realm and find a place to continue closed-door cultivation.

When such an abnormal situation appeared at this time, Ding Huan sensed something amiss at once.

If he had cultivated in a better place, by now he would probably at least be at the peak of the Heavenly God realm, or even have stepped into the Divine Lord realm.

This kind of detection treasure was used to detect whether a cultivator had altered their appearance.

"Not the same place; I plan to cultivate for a period of time. You seize the time to advance to a Tier-2 divine beast, otherwise your cultivation is too low."

Without advancing to the Divine Lord realm, he had no chance of leaving Dao Market Street.

He didn't really want to stay on Dao Market Street either.

Ding Huan also didn't continue using the third stalk of divine alfalfa; he knew in his heart that advancing from Heavenly Eye to Sacred Eye probably couldn't be solved by divine alfalfa.

Just at this moment, an abrupt thought appeared without any warning:

In this closed-door cultivation, not only did Ding Huan embed a mid-grade divine spirit vein into his divine array, he even took the risk of embedding a top-grade divine spirit vein of the darkness attribute as well.

However, Ding Huan quickly gave up on the possibility of a Luck Stone; without the slightest hesitation, he extracted and sealed that darkness-attribute divine spirit vein, then tossed it into his Five Elements World.

Darkness-attribute Dao Law was fine against ordinary cultivators, but once it encountered a fellow who cultivated the darkness attribute, that fellow would definitely set their sights on him.

He decided to leave this place.

If he could join a sect, then join a sect.

Ding Huan tossed off a casual remark and waved Yijie aside.

This was because he possessed the great Dao consciousness sea, his divine sense was so powerful it simply wasn't something a Heavenly God realm cultivator could have; only then did he sense something off about that voice.

What Ding Huan possessed was the great Dao universe of the consciousness sea; back then he had even done in the owner of the scroll.

One year, from the seventh layer of the Heavenly God realm to the eighth layer of the Heavenly God realm.

After Ding Huan put away this divine spirit vein, the thought deep in his consciousness urging him to advance to Divine Lord grew even more urgent.

Even though Ding Huan had lost consciousness, the Heavenly Thunder arcs within his great Dao consciousness sea were still running rampant.

Even with the darkness-attribute divine spirit vein and the Luck Stone, cultivating here still meant the further one went, the slower the advancement speed.

The Zhou Tian of the Great Universe Art became sluggish...

Just like when he established his foundation back then, only by laying a solid foundation would the subsequent cultivation become easier.

Under such circumstances, Dao Market Street not being burst open by the crowd was already considered not bad.

Ding Huan stopped his closed-door cultivation; just two stalks of divine alfalfa had allowed his Spirit Eye to advance to ninth-grade Heavenly Eye.

Ding Huan did not go out again; he was almost one hundred percent certain these people were targeting him. With Wen Jiyue absent this time, Ding Huan, during his seclusion, simply tossed Yi Jie out as well.

The consciousness in his mind, urging him to advance to Divine Lord for greater power, continued pressing him, gradually causing his spirit to grow hazy and confused.

In Ding Huan's subconscious, there was only one rule: he could die, but he would never be possessed, nor would he ever become a puppet.

As his cultivation advanced, he felt more and more that the celestial rules here were overly fragmented.

He had no Primordial Spirit; to possess him was pure fantasy.

When the first heavenly lightning exploded within his consciousness, the Star Bridge within his Dao Universe trembled, the Star River surged, and the starry sky began to shake…

A person without principles, even if he saw the ancient talisman, would still take him away—so what? In this place, expecting others to have principles? What's the difference from a joke? So he must ensure he relied on no one, even having a chance to escape before a Divine King—otherwise, after stepping out, he would never leave Dao Xu Street.

Indeed, under the enhancement of the Destiny Stone and the Dark Attribute Divine Vein.

Although Ding Huan's cultivation was low, he was, without exception, the one with the clearest comprehension of celestial Dao principles at this realm level.

He was no longer in a hurry.

If he stepped out now at his current cultivation, would he even have the right to speak?

Was this an attempt to possess him?

During Ding Huan's cultivation, heavenly divine qi became easier to absorb and integrate; his comprehension of Dao principles grew ever clearer. His understanding of the Dark Dao attribute advanced by leaps and bounds.

Merely advancing to the peak of Heavenly God realm consumed a large portion of his mid-grade Divine Vein.

However, the sect's Divine Veins complemented each other; when absorbed, they formed a Gathering Spirit Divine Array with surrounding veins, drawing in celestial divine qi to replenish themselves.

During this seclusion, he implanted a Destiny Stone within his own array.

Ding Huan decided to continue secluding himself for a while longer, then return to Dao Xu.

His comprehension of the Dao was gradually becoming hazy.

Compared to the speed of his previous cultivation advances, this advancement was far too slow.

Ding Huan had absolute confidence in this point.

Otherwise, he would not have sensed anything amiss just now—he would have chosen Tribulation Crossing immediately to advance to Divine Lord.

The perception deep within his consciousness still came through clearly.

Moreover, he had implanted another Destiny Stone.

Since he could not join a sect, he himself had a Destiny Stone and could set up a cultivation cave.

In half a year, Ding Huan broke through to Heavenly God realm, ninth layer.

Ding Huan spent six years advancing to the peak of Heavenly God realm.

Advance, advance… only by advancing to Divine Lord would he gain true power.

At his current array art level, and with his understanding of the Dark Dao, he could not fully seal off the Dark Dao's aura with his protective array.

He laid down a mid-grade Divine Vein; as for the Dark Attribute Divine Vein, Ding Huan dared not lay it down.

Ding Huan chose to continue secluding himself to solidify his Heavenly God foundation.

This was not entirely due to the blurred celestial rules within Dao Xu—it was also because the celestial divine qi Ding Huan needed for advancement was excessively vast.

Even if Dao Xu was dangerous, it could not be more dangerous than stepping out.

To rely on this ancient talisman, one first needed others to believe, and second, needed them to have principles and reason.

"Let's go, Yi Jie." Ding Huan pulled out the mid-grade Divine Vein and casually tossed Yi Jie into the Five Elements World.

A year later, Ding Huan advanced to Heavenly God realm, tenth layer…

After much hesitation, Ding Huan lurked to one side, waiting until a Heavenly God cultivator prepared to exit Dao Xu; then, with maximum speed, he inscribed a surveillance array pattern onto the cultivator.

Everything had been fine before—why was there a problem now? Ding Huan immediately thought of the Destiny Stone.

Ding Huan felt that all celestial rules within his consciousness Dao Universe seemed to be corrupted by the Dark Dao principle.

There were simply too many Destiny Stones in the Cycle Swamp; knowing he could walk through the Cycle Swamp, no one would likely let him go.

At Dao Xu's exit, not only were guards stationed, but specialized detection artifacts were also present.

After the cultivator exited Dao Xu, Ding Huan immediately saw a fleeting image through the surveillance array pattern—then the pattern failed.

Some of it was wasted, but most was simply because Ding Huan's cultivation required an enormous amount of divine source.

One day later, Ding Huan halted the Cosmic Cauldron and sought another place to seclude himself.

Ding Huan's mind raced furiously—he knew something was wrong with him.

Ding Huan, as if unaware he would be obliterated, did not halt the heavenly lightning summoned by the Lightning Dao technique; instead, it grew stronger and stronger.

As Ding Huan continuously spat blood arrows, he collapsed into unconsciousness.

To others, this was a joy; to Ding Huan, it was unbearably slow.

Once he reached Divine Lord realm, his cultivation advancement speed would become even slower.

The reason was that he could walk through the Cycle Swamp.

The key was, this cultivator who could avoid sinking into the Cycle Swamp did not seem to be an unknown nobody.

For Ding Huan, this was enough.

What happened? The scroll's master was utterly destroyed by him; moreover, during his Divine Nurturing, even the scroll master's Dao thoughts and divine techniques were completely severed.

Six years passed in the blink of an eye; Ding Huan's cultivation reached the peak of Heavenly God realm, twelfth layer.

The place was still packed with people.

A woman with weathered eyes approached the window to purchase Dao Xu entry array tablets; she intended to buy one to enter Dao Xu.

But she was drawn to a wanted poster beside the window.

"Ding Huan, a lone cultivator, briefly joined the Lower Shenzhidi Sect's Green Thunder Dao Sect. Illegally killed disciples of the Upper Shenzhidi Sect, stole Destiny Stones…"
