Chapter 713: Summit of Yongshen Peak

"Yes, unless one is a reincarnated soul, only a Sage can reach the summit." Leng Qingdie's tone was certain.

Ding Huan said calmly, "But in fact, someone behind me also wants to reach the summit—I suspect he isn't reincarnated. How do you explain that?"

"He can't climb up." Leng Qingdie's tone grew much calmer.

"Not even a Sage?"

"He's a Sage?" Leng Qingdie frowned; she had climbed Yongshen Peak before Tianpo Sage, so she didn't know Tianpo Sage had come here.

She and Tianpo Sage chose different methods.

Tianpo Sage chose to first comprehend the celestial laws here, then attempt to climb Yongshen Peak.

She chose to comprehend the celestial laws here while climbing Yongshen Peak.

"I don't know if a Sage can make it, but if we cooperate, I'm certain we'll reach the summit before any Sage."

Leng Qingdie looked at Ding Huan, her tone softening.

"No need. I think I can do it myself." Ding Huan said, then turned to leave again.

Leng Qingdie grew anxious and hurriedly said, "At the summit of Yongshen Peak are several things—I only need one of them."

"What do you want?" Ding Huan wasn't interested in cooperating, but he did want to know what treasures lay atop Yongshen Peak.

"I only want the Cosmic Heart." Leng Qingdie replied swiftly.

Cosmic Heart?

The name sounded grand, but what exactly was this Cosmic Heart?

Without waiting for Ding Huan to ask, Leng Qingdie volunteered, "I want the Cosmic Heart because I wish to repair a Divine Realm."

"You want to repair a Divine Realm?" Ding Huan asked in surprise.

Did she mean to restore the place where humanity lived?

The Lower Divine Lands, Middle Divine Lands, and Upper Divine Lands were all separated by the Divine Chasm, and parts had been seized by the Divine Clan.

Was Leng Qingdie trying to restore the Divine Realm where humanity lived?

If so, maybe it wouldn't hurt to take her up.

But repairing a Divine Realm must be done under his supervision—who knew if this woman only intended to steal the Cosmic Heart?

"Yes, I want to repair the Yu Kun Divine Realm."

Ding Huan froze. Yu Kun Divine Realm? What was that?

Was the place where humanity now lived actually called the Yu Kun Divine Realm—not the Upper, Middle, or Lower Lands?

Though Ding Huan didn't know whether Yu Kun Divine Realm was humanity's home, he still said, "Explain it to me. I'll decide if it's worth taking you up."

He didn't say "cooperate."

He had already come this far—he didn't need her help to reach the summit of Yongshen Peak.

Leng Qingdie spoke slowly: "Before my reincarnation, I did something I would regret for all eternity—I betrayed my Dao companion and aided a man utterly repulsive."

"My Dao companion was the Dao Lord of Yu Kun Divine Realm. His Divine Realm shattered due to a divine technique. I hoped that by reincarnating, I could repair Yu Kun Divine Realm for him—otherwise, I would never find peace in this life."

Ding Huan had never hated a woman so much. He looked at Leng Qingdie coldly: "Do I care if you're at peace? You're trash—why were you allowed to reincarnate? Your Dao companion was blind; don't assume everyone else is too."

"Besides, a Divine Realm belongs to everyone—not just one person."

Ding Huan turned and walked away, no longer bothering with this woman.

This trash actually thought she could team up with him—what a daydream.

Honestly, if she hadn't done nothing to offend him, Ding Huan might have already slapped her dead.

Watching Ding Huan's retreating figure, Leng Qingdie froze.

Wasn't she beautiful?

She was an almost-Sage, her appearance was no worse than average, and she was even offering to help Ding Huan reach the summit—why did he speak so cruelly?

Yi Jie choked on his breath. Hearing Master Huan curse, he wanted more than anyone to follow behind and curse this sow—but he dared not speak out.

This place wasn't a joke—step wrong, and you'd fall into a void.

Now he had to focus all his attention on Master Huan's footsteps, or he'd make a mistake.

Ding Huan didn't slow his pace, but as he neared the summit, the path ahead suddenly vanished.

Ding Huan halted immediately. Had he not yet comprehended the Void Law?

If he stepped carelessly into a Void Black Hole, he'd never have another chance to come here.

Ding Huan cautiously extended his divine sense, sensing a reincarnation aura.

He had comprehended the Reincarnation Law, yet here, the Reincarnation Law offered no path to the summit.

Ding Huan recalled Leng Qingdie's words.

He too was a reincarnated soul—why couldn't he find the path through the Reincarnation Law?

If so, how could Leng Qingdie find it?

Ding Huan closed his eyes and began activating the Great Universe Art.

Streams of Great Dao laws flowed through Ding Huan's domain space as he continuously comprehended all celestial laws within this Zhou Tian.

Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the Reincarnation Law?

Did he really need that woman's help?

The thought flashed through Ding Huan's mind—and he immediately rejected it.

If she could find the path through the Reincarnation Law, so could he.

Besides, Leng Qingdie surely couldn't find it either—if she could, she wouldn't be trapped here, begging to cooperate with him.

Too bad his Seven Reincarnation Seals were only cultivated to the third seal, Huang Quan. If he reached the sixth seal, Great Reincarnation, perhaps he could find the Reincarnation Path. Ding Huan frowned—could one not reach the summit without cultivating the Seven Reincarnation Seals?

Or was it necessary to cultivate the Seven Reincarnation Seals all the way to the sixth seal to even qualify for the summit of Yongshen Peak?

He possessed the Seven Reincarnation Seals—but he didn't believe Leng Qingdie had them.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan rolled his hand, summoning his long blade, which transformed into a river of Huang Quan descending from empty space.

Boom!

The surrounding Dao principles shattered as the river of Huang Quan crashed into this Dao of Reincarnation.

The third seal of the Seven Seals of Reincarnation: Huang Quan. Dahan Yi Dao cleaves Huang Quan; beneath the feet appears Reincarnation.

Because of this slash, a clear Dao principle was added to Zhou Tian, the Great Cosmic Art—how could Ding Huan not know this was the Dao of Reincarnation?

Even though he had not yet comprehended the Dao of Reincarnation, after touching it, a faint path naturally appeared before Ding Huan.

Indeed.

"Let's go." Ding Huan was the first to step onto the faint path; Emperor Hou Hen and the others hurried after him, vanishing from Leng Qingdie's gaze.

Leng Qingdie stared blankly at Ding Huan's retreating back, murmuring: "How is this possible? How could he pass through the Reincarnation Wall—and take others with him?"

Even though the summit of Yongshen Peak was within arm's reach for Leng Qingdie.

Leng Qingdie knew well that the hardest part of climbing Yongshen Peak was not the ninety-nine point nine nine percent she had already crossed, but the Reincarnation Wall before her.

Only by crossing the Reincarnation Wall could one truly reach the summit of Yongshen Peak.

Although she had called out to Ding Huan, intending to cooperate with him, in truth, her own chance of crossing the Reincarnation Wall and reaching the summit was only thirty percent.

The odds were too low; that was why she had never dared to take a single step forward—this was her only chance.

If she lost this chance, unless she underwent reincarnation once more, she would never have a second opportunity to reach the summit of Yongshen Peak.

Seeing Ding Huan and the others cross the Reincarnation Wall, Leng Qingdie could no longer remain still to contemplate the Dao principles of this place. She suddenly rose and walked toward the Reincarnation Wall.

As soon as Ding Huan stepped off that faint path, the view before him opened up abruptly.

The oppressive aura vanished; at this moment, nearly all the divine qi in heaven and earth gathered here.

"Ha ha, what a place!" Emperor Hou Hen laughed heartily, gazing excitedly at the space before him.

"Brother, I plan to cultivate here for a hundred years—I will surely restore my strength," Ji Luo was equally unable to contain his excitement.

Ding Huan shook his head: "That won't work. This place must have a time limit—if we don't leave within a certain time, we'll be teleported away."

As he spoke, Ding Huan did not pause at all; he felt there must be a time limit here.

In less than a dozen breaths, he saw a massive black pool.

The pool was filled with purple golden stones radiating the aura of Nirvana Dao; these stones carried not only the aura of Nirvana but also a vague, ethereal Dao aura.

"Void Nirvana Gold?" Ji Luo excitedly rubbed his hands.

Although he knew of Void Nirvana Gold, he had never seen it—much less so much of it gathered together.

"We each take what we can. Whoever claims it, owns it." Ding Huan finished speaking and immediately rolled his hand; pieces of Void Nirvana Gold were swept into his world.

Emperor Hou Hen and Ji Luo naturally did not hesitate.

But they soon discovered that taking the Void Nirvana Gold here was far more difficult for them than for Ding Huan.

Ding Huan could simply lift his hand and sweep the Void Nirvana Gold away, while they had to set up teleportation divine arrays before they could use the arrays to carry the gold away.

Seeing how hard the two struggled, Ding Huan carved three jade slips and tossed them to Emperor Hou Hen and Ji Luo—even Yi Jie received one.

The space containing the Void Nirvana Gold carried not only the laws of Collapse and the laws of Void, but also a trace of Reincarnation Dao rhythm.

Without mastering these three laws, it was nearly impossible to take them.

Even if you hadn't mastered them, you must have at least encountered them.

Ding Huan took roughly eighty percent, leaving twenty percent for the three of them to collect slowly.

After leaving the Void Nirvana Gold pool, Ding Huan pressed forward again; after a stick of incense, he stopped.

He saw the Core of the Universe.

The Core of the Universe floated above a black stone; in the center of the black stone was a hollow, filled with liquid.

Although Ding Huan did not know what this liquid was, when his divine sense swept over it, he immediately felt as if his entire soul had been cleansed—utterly light and comfortable.

Ding Huan reached out to seize the Core of the Universe and send it into his world.

But the moment his hand touched the Core of the Universe, a powerful force surged forth, nearly hurling him to the summit of Yongshen Peak.

The Core of the Universe cannot be taken?

Ding Huan frowned.

After hearing Leng Qingdie's words, a thought had risen in his mind: to take the Core of the Universe.

If in the future he had nowhere to go and had to remain in the Three Gods Land, he could repair the Three Gods Land.

Now that the Core of the Universe cannot be taken, isn't that a pity?
