Chapter 764: The Eternal Life Talisman

Before the soul-body could react, Ding Huan slashed again with his Pojie Dao, carving another curtain of blades.

"Crack!" The soul-body was torn apart once more by Ding Huan.

Though it recombined, its cultivation had plummeted to the Divine King realm, and its previously solid form grew even more insubstantial.

Even its facial features became blurred and indistinct.

"Friend, stop!" The soul-body felt Ding Huan's murderous intent surging toward him—he dared not continue bluffing.

Ding Huan chuckled: "What, not feeling so tough anymore?"

The soul-body no longer dared treat Ding Huan as an ant—he felt Ding Huan was undoubtedly his own Dao, though this seemed absurd.

Otherwise, how could he, merely cultivating in the Dunyi Divine Realm, so effortlessly crush someone of the same realm?

To him, whether he had a physical body or not made little difference when confronting others. In truth, fighting Ding Huan felt like an egg striking a rock.

"I am Quan, the Dao Ancestor of the Dunyi Divine Realm. Please, friend, show mercy." Quan sensed the breath of death and had no choice but to bow.

Ding Huan spoke coolly: "I knew it was you, Wang Ba. No one else could know this world's heavenly laws so intimately."

"But you, this trash, don't even deserve to be called a realm's Dao Ancestor—in my eyes, you're no different from garbage."

Ding Huan said this, yet inside he still felt puzzled.

Xing Jia hadn't said the Dunyi Divine Realm's Heaven Dao favored Quan? Then why wasn't he suppressed by the Heaven Dao? Was Quan's power too weak to summon Heaven Dao's aid?

That was unlikely.

While Ding Huan pondered, Quan spoke again: "This is merely one of my hundred million incarnations. Killing me only offends me—it only damages one of my incarnations."

Ding Huan said nothing; he wondered if his own lack of suppression by the Dunyi Heaven Dao might be because Quan was only an incarnation.

Regardless, kill him first.

"Do you know what 'Dao Ancestor' means? Once…"

"Stop boasting. I've got a disciple named Xing Jia—he's the Dao Ancestor's Dao Ancestor."

Ding Huan didn't know if Xing Jia was even a Dao Ancestor, but boasting cost nothing.

"You know Xing Jia?" Quan was stunned—he'd been here restoring his body and had no idea Xing Jia was cultivating at the Blue Star Academy nearby.

"Huh? You know Xing Jia?" Ding Huan judged whether Quan's words were true.

Quan shouted: "Xing Jia is the Dao Ancestor of the Moru World. I am the Dao Ancestor of the Dunyi World. Do you think we're just acquaintances?"

Ding Huan was certain this guy truly knew Xing Jia.

Yet Ding Huan had no intention of calling Xing Jia—he suddenly slashed again, while Grand Void Flames surged wildly forward.

Simultaneously, his hands unleashed countless hand seals, tearing open layer after layer of heavenly laws in the void.

Even Bai Chi would know Ding Huan meant to suddenly rip open his world—Quan roared in fury: "Brat, you're asking for death—"

Ding Huan could even sense the Dao veins of Quan's world—a terrifying lightning arc crashed down from the void.

"Crack!" A single lightning arc shattered Ding Huan's bones, slamming him to the ground from the void.

The overwhelming Heaven Dao suppression made Ding Huan tremble violently.

Ding Huan's face paled—he knew instantly the Dunyi Heaven Dao had intervened.

The Dunyi Divine Realm's Heaven Dao forbade him from killing Quan.

Even though this was merely Quan's fragmented soul, the Dunyi Heaven Dao still protected him, forbidding his death.

Ding Huan erupted in rage, the Nirvana Scripture surging wildly—his Pojie Dao whipped up a storm of killing intent; no matter what, he would kill Quan.

"Crack!" Several more lightning arcs crashed down.

Without Quan even needing to resist, Ding Huan's killing momentum was shattered by the torrent of lightning.

In this dire moment, Quan finally unleashed a Break-Realm Talisman and vanished instantly.

All the great arrays he had set up were useless against Quan's Break-Realm Talisman.

The moment Quan left, the Heaven Dao's lightning arcs vanished without a trace.

Blood trickled from Ding Huan's lips; though his wounds healed rapidly, his earlier confidence was gone.

Was it really wise to establish a sect here?

Soon, Ding Huan was stunned by what he saw—a massive golden talisman floated before him.

The Eternal Life Talisman?

Ding Huan finally understood: Quan hadn't just been restoring his body and power here—he'd been refining the Eternal Life Talisman too.

Not entirely—he quickly reached a more accurate conclusion.

From the array patterns and prohibitions nearby, Quan's goal of restoring his body was clear.

But Quan had an even more audacious plan: after attaining Sagehood, he would turn the Dunyi Divine Realm into his consciousness sea.

Achieving this seemed impossible—but with the Eternal Life Talisman, Quan might actually succeed.

Once Quan's Dao succeeded, he could use the Eternal Life Talisman to gather all his scattered soul fragments and incarnations, merging them into one.

At the moment Quan's Dao fused, he would fuse with the Dunyi Divine Realm.

Ding Huan felt the irony.

Did the Dunyi Divine Realm's Heaven Dao enjoy becoming someone's consciousness sea? Or had it simply not awakened?

He helped the Dunyi Divine Realm, yet its Heaven Dao protected the very man trying to destroy it.

Rumor had it Quan had a prior record—he once tried to lure a man named Huan to assimilate the Dunyi Divine Realm, stopped by Yue Jinya of the Holy Talisman Dao.

But none of this concerned him. Even if he still held the Blue Star Academy, Ding Huan had no intention of leaving his Great Cosmos Art here.

This divine realm wasn't worthy.

Exchange is mutual. The Dunyi Divine Realm's Heaven Dao dragged him back—so why should he leave his Great Cosmos Art to improve its Heaven Dao, its fortune, even its cosmic laws?

Ding Huan was certain: if he left the Great Cosmos Art, the Dunyi Divine Realm's cosmic laws would slowly perfect over time.

Thus, he and the Dunyi Divine Realm were mutually reinforcing—he gained its fortune's blessing, and its cosmic laws gradually perfected.

Ding Huan did not continue thinking about it, nor did he keep dwelling on anything else.

He had feelings, sure, but he wasn't a simp — he wouldn't lick anyone's boots.

The first thing he did was rush to the Eternal Life Grand Talisman. The Grand Cosmos Art wrapped around the Eternal Life Grand Talisman — no matter what, he had to refine the Eternal Life Grand Talisman.

The first cosmic Zhou Tian was constructed, and Ding Huan began refining every trace of Dao resonance and law upon the Eternal Life Grand Talisman.

What Ding Huan feared most was that the Eternal Life Grand Talisman would flee the moment he began refining it.

In fact, that possibility was ninety-nine percent.

After all, his strength was still a hair short of being able to refine the Eternal Life Grand Talisman.

To Ding Huan's pleasant surprise, the Eternal Life Grand Talisman did not flee at the first instant.

For Ding Huan, this was a heaven-sent joy.

As the first law of the Eternal Life Grand Talisman was refined by Ding Huan, then the first Dao rule of the Eternal Life Grand Talisman was refined by him…

Ding Huan finally realized — the Eternal Life Grand Talisman was missing a certain spirituality.

No wonder it hadn't fled — the talisman spirit was gone.

Ding Huan paid it no mind; he had already refined the first layer of restrictions on the Eternal Life Grand Talisman in the shortest time possible.

Immediately, layer upon layer of teleportation array patterns were laid out by Ding Huan. In just a short while, the Eternal Life Grand Talisman was pulled into his sea of consciousness cosmos.

Ding Huan let out a breath of relief.

Fortunately the talisman spirit of the Eternal Life Grand Talisman had vanished; otherwise, with his current cultivation and strength, the Eternal Life Grand Talisman would have fled the moment he refined the first law.

Quanzheng had been certain the Eternal Life Grand Talisman couldn't escape, which was why he brazenly used the Hunyi God Realm to restore his physical body, then planned to use the Eternal Life Grand Talisman to fuse his avatar and split soul.

But in the end, the bargain fell to him.

Ding Huan gazed at the Eternal Life Grand Talisman suspended within his sea of consciousness cosmos, feeling quite satisfied.

Even without the talisman spirit, when he cultivated beyond the Ninth Revolution in the future, perhaps he could still have the Eternal Life Grand Talisman transport him to the Land of Eternal Life.

As for matters concerning the Land of Eternal Life, he would have to ask Xing Jia.

At the same time, Ding Huan also fully understood — the Eternal Life Grand Talisman did not belong to the Holy Talisman Dao.

The reason the Holy Talisman Dao had established itself here was not because it possessed the Eternal Life Grand Talisman, but because the Eternal Life Grand Talisman happened to be here.

The only thing Ding Huan couldn't figure out was why the patriarch of the Holy Talisman Dao, Yue Jinya, had not taken the Eternal Life Grand Talisman away.

Because leaving the Eternal Life Grand Talisman here was of little help to the Holy Talisman Dao.

Could it be that Yue Jinya was truly selfless and impartial, and so left the Eternal Life Grand Talisman behind in the Holy Talisman Dao?

Ding Huan couldn't figure out a single one of these questions, and he couldn't be bothered to think about them.

Originally Ding Huan had planned to cultivate to a higher level here before leaving, but he was so utterly disappointed in the Hunyi God Realm that he had even lost the desire to cultivate.

After Ding Huan returned to the sect, the first thing he did was summon Seeing Zhuo Hong, Elder Yi Shang, and Xing Jia.

Because the heaven and earth primal energy in Ding Huan's place was abundant — apart from the Chaos Divine Spirit Vein, there were top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, or else Starry Sky top-grade Divine Spirit Veins.

In less than a single year, Elder Yi Shang's cultivation had recovered to a Second Revolution Saint.

Speaking of combat power, Elder Yi Shang's current Second Revolution Saint was even stronger than when she had been at the Third Revolution.

After all, the Minor Five Elements Art and the Grand Five Elements Art were simply not in the same league.

"Greetings, Sect Master." Seeing Zhuo Hong was in a very pleasant mood.

Ever since the Holy Talisman Dao had been destroyed, she had never been treated with such respect.

The entire Blue Star Divine City answered to her alone.

"Sect Master." Elder Yi Shang was equally pleased. Her strength had recovered far too quickly; at this pace, she believed that one day she too could prove her Dao and reach the Seventh Revolution.

"You are Elder Yi Shang, the Sect Master?" Seeing Zhuo Hong finally recognized Elder Yi Shang.

Elder Yi Shang had not altered her appearance now, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Seeing Zhuo Hong had previously assumed she was Ding Huan's Dao companion.

Elder Yi Shang smiled faintly and nodded as well: "Greetings, Palace Master Zhuo. From now on, we are all people of the same sect."

Just at this moment, Xing Jia walked in.

Ding Huan secretly thought, this old fellow really knows how to put on an act.

Although his cultivation was only at the Divine Lord realm, look at this old fellow — his entire being seemed shrouded in mist and clouds, utterly impossible to see through to his true cultivation.

At a glance, it was like gazing upon a kind of great Dao rule.

Both Elder Yi Shang and Seeing Zhuo Hong trembled; they had a premonition that the person before them was the true backbone of the Blue Star Academy — the Supreme Elder Xing Jia.
