Chapter 751: Chaos Qi

Ding Huan remained calm, completely unmoved by the other's earth-shattering secret.

Seeing Ding Huan's attitude, Si Anlun could only say: "Alright, I'll place the Falling Moon Arrow on you, and you place the Heaven-Earth Bow on me.

Then I'll reveal this secret—if you think it's worth exchanging, we exchange; if not, we drop it."

Ding Huan blinked in surprise. Was there such a good deal?

But he immediately understood.

Owning the Heaven-Earth Bow and owning the Falling Moon Arrow were two entirely different things.

Owning the Heaven-Earth Bow, even without the Falling Moon Arrow, still offered a chance to obtain the Falling Sun Arrow or the Falling Star Arrow.

Moreover, he himself had sold the Falling Sun Arrow through Wu Liang, so he had even greater odds of acquiring it.

But owning the Falling Moon Arrow meant waiting for the Heaven-Earth Bow—there was no second option.

In the end, it was his own earlier words that had taken effect.

Si Anlun dared not place the Heaven-Earth Bow on him.

Ding Huan fell silent.

He couldn't immediately agree to this.

"This secret is unknown to the vast majority. It concerns the location of Chaos itself.

Miss this chance, and to gain such an opportunity again, you'll have to wait another hundred years. By then, perhaps even more people will know of it."

Si Anlun's voice was full of seduction.

Ding Huan gritted his teeth: "Fine, I agree to place the Heaven-Earth Bow on you first."

Saying this, he pulled out the fake Heaven-Earth Bow he had just taken from Ji Bucheng.

Even though it was a fake, the moment he drew it out, the vast, sky-tearing aura instantly caught Si Anlun's attention.

Si Anlun suppressed his inner excitement and pulled out the Falling Moon Arrow.

His excitement stemmed from this:

The status of owning the Heaven-Earth Bow and owning the Falling Moon Arrow was not equal—holding the Heaven-Earth Bow still offered a chance to acquire the other two arrows, but the Falling Moon Arrow could only wait for the Heaven-Earth Bow.

Therefore, the Heaven-Earth Bow must remain in his hands.

Ding Huan had already cultivated the Falling Sun Arrow and the Falling Star Arrow.

Now, seeing the Falling Moon Arrow, he didn't even need to cultivate it—he knew instantly it was genuine.

The two set up a transfer exchange, and the next moment, the Falling Moon Arrow was teleported to Ding Huan's side.

Before the arrow could even land in his hand, Ding Huan sent it into his world.

Si Anlun froze—he had intended that the moment Ding Huan took the Falling Moon Arrow, he could immediately recall it.

This was one of his divine abilities: Blood Essence Summoning.

The Falling Moon Arrow had been cultivated with his heart's blood; as long as he activated Blood Essence Summoning, he could recall it in the shortest possible time.

But in reality, Ding Huan had almost instantly hidden the Falling Moon Arrow within a world he could not perceive at all.

If he couldn't sense the arrow's presence, how could he summon it?

Recalling Ding Huan's earlier recorded crystal ball footage, he realized this Wu Liang was an extremely troublesome fellow.

"Si Anlun, can you reveal your secret now?" Ding Huan, seeing Si Anlun's slightly stunned expression, had already guessed something.

Clearly, the Falling Moon Arrow couldn't be taken out unless it was truly cultivated.

Si Anlun smiled awkwardly: "You know what Chaos Qi is, right? Though Dunyi Divine Realm was born from Chaos, and we now stand in the area where Chaos has receded,

obtaining Chaos Qi isn't easy—not even to obtain it, but even staying here long-term is dangerous.

There's still Chaos energy lingering here; prolonged exposure will cause you to be assimilated by Chaos and turn to nothing. That's why the Divine Vein Struggle usually lasts only one or two months before everyone must leave."

"You mean you can obtain Chaos Qi?"

Ding Huan asked, puzzled.

He knew well where Chaos resided—here, Chaos was merely the spatial state.

It wasn't something you could just collect at will.

Chaos itself wasn't good—it turned anything entering it to nothing.

But Chaos Qi was valuable—like a Chaos Rule Jade, yet even more valuable than that.

"Yes, I can tell you how to obtain Chaos Qi—and right here. Doesn't that count as an earth-shattering secret?"

Si Anlun looked at Ding Huan, his tone slightly boastful.

Ding Huan said coolly: "That's your earth-shattering secret?"

"Chaos Qi allows one to attain the Saint Dao and cultivate all kinds of Dao Fruit Trees. If that's not an earth-shattering secret, I don't know what is."

Si Anlun remained adamant, undeterred by Ding Huan's calm tone.

Ding Huan's heart stirred slightly.

Forget the rest—cultivating all kinds of Dao Fruit Trees was extraordinary.

His world still held a Life Tree; if he could separate it and cultivate it with Chaos Qi, it would far surpass even the top-tier Wood Divine Vein.

Ding Huan sighed: "Fine, I'll let it pass. Now tell me how to obtain Chaos Qi."

Si Anlun said calmly: "I, Si Anlun, am after all a genius from a top sect. Do you think I'd be so foolish as to reveal such a secret before exchanging anything?

One thing: we trade the Falling Moon Arrow first, then I tell you how to obtain Chaos Qi here."

Ding Huan snorted dismissively: "Your genius? I heard Ji Bucheng, whom you killed, was the real genius—he reached the 105th level of Void Stage. What about you?"

Si Anlun showed no anger: "You said 'whom I killed.' If he was killed by me, he wasn't a genius.

As for the 105th level of Void Stage—hah—if I wanted, I could reach the summit. You don't think you understand what that means?"

Ding Huan looked at Si Anlun with quiet confusion—he truly didn't understand.

Si Anlun noticed Ding Huan's confusion but had no intention of explaining.

"I'll tell you how to obtain Chaotic Qi, then give you twenty Chaotic Spirit Veins, and you give me the Falling Moon Arrow—how about that?"

Si Anlun still cared only about the Falling Moon Arrow.

"You clearly said earlier that if I just placed the Heaven-Earth Bow on you, you'd reveal this secret. Now you've changed your mind and demand an exchange before revealing it."

"Someone as untrustworthy as you—I'm supposed to trade the Falling Moon Arrow with you?" Ding Huan's tone dripped with contempt.

Si Anlun was stunned—he meant that if this secret appealed to Ding Huan, they'd exchange, but he never intended to reveal the secret first.

Had he not expressed himself clearly?

Before Si Anlun could speak, Ding Huan continued: "Do you think the Heaven-Earth Bow is more valuable than the Falling Moon Arrow? If you don't reveal the secret first, why should I place the Heaven-Earth Bow on you?"

"But why didn't you say so earlier?" Si Anlun frowned.

Ding Huan thought to himself: What if you refused to exchange after I told you?

Yet aloud he said coolly: "I thought you wouldn't resort to such trickery—I was wrong about you."

Si Anlun truly wanted the Falling Moon Arrow. He gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, I'll tell you—hope you keep your word."

"Eighty-one days after entering here, you can find the Clear Path at the edge of Chaos..."

"What is the Clear Path?" Ding Huan asked.

"At the edge of Chaos, a line composed of Chaotic Qi appears. Every point along that line is pure Chaotic Qi—just gather it all at full strength."

Si Anlun sounded thorough, but only he knew: even if Ding Huan learned this secret, he couldn't gather Chaotic Qi.

If Chaotic Qi were this easy to collect, everyone would have piles of it.

That's why he was willing to tell Ding Huan.

The first difficulty in gathering Chaotic Qi is staying here for eighty-one full days.

In truth, not even one in a hundred can stay here a full month—those who do are top-tier experts.

Only saints above First Transformation have any chance of staying here eighty-one days.

Even Si Anlun himself couldn't stay here eighty-one days before reaching the Union God Realm.

The second difficulty: even after surviving eighty-one days, you can't approach the edge of Chaos—anyone who gets close is dissolved into nothingness by Chaos.

The third difficulty: even if you pass the first two, finding the Clear Path is still excruciatingly hard.

On the surface, it's called the Clear Path, but in truth, it's barely visible—even divine sense may fail to detect it.

If none of these are hard enough, the fourth difficulty is harder than climbing to heaven.

Chaotic Qi can be collected in jade vials, but even enchanted jade vials can preserve it for only three days.

To collect Chaotic Qi long-term, you need a primordial treasure—or at minimum, a heavenly spirit treasure of the spatial type.

"That's it?" Ding Huan frowned, his voice icy.

Si Anlun blinked, instinctively saying: "Yes—this is a top-secret. Even some sects don't know it."

Ding Huan said coolly: "Forget whether I can stay here eighty-one days—even if I could, what would I use to collect Chaotic Qi?"

Si Anlun spread his hands: "I told you the secret—I have no obligation to solve your problems."

Ding Huan extended his hand: "Then return the Heaven-Earth Bow to me. I won't trade with you anymore."

How could he return the Heaven-Earth Bow? Si Anlun, hearing Ding Huan's words, said: "Brother Wu Liang, how about this—I'll go find a container for your Chaotic Qi."

With those words, Si Anlun vanished in a flash.

He'd realized: Wu Liang never intended to place both the Heaven-Earth Bow and the Falling Moon Arrow on him at once.

If so, he'd first find a place to ascend to the Union God Realm.

Once he reached Union God, he'd forcibly demand Wu Liang from the Ancient Desert Goddess Sect.

He didn't believe the Ancient Desert Goddess Sect would dare defy the Great True Divine Dao's face.

Watching Si Anlun's retreating figure, Ding Huan chuckled.

This fool probably plans to go to the Goddess Sect and hunt for him—well, he'd better tell him: he'll never find Ding Huan there.

Now, his task wasn't to keep searching for treasures, but to find a safe place and elevate his cultivation to the Union God Realm.
