Chapter 781: Refining the Eternal Divine Wheel

Although Ku Ku Sansang was the guardian of the Eternal Divine Wheel in life, when he tried to refine it, it was truly miserable.

He spent many years, yet only got started.

Or rather, he had just figured out where to begin.

Even without Ding Huan's interference, for Ku Ku Sansang to refine the Eternal Divine Wheel, he still had to wait until he touched the Wheel's Kill.

But as long as Ku Ku Sansang kept refining the Dao principles of the Eternal Divine Wheel, he would eventually touch the Wheel's Kill.

With Ku Ku Sansang's cultivation and ability, once he touched the Wheel's Kill—the Eternal Divine Peak—he could refine the Wheel's Kill.

He wouldn't even need the Wheel's Heart.

If Ku Ku Sansang refined the Wheel's Kill, with the help of the Eternal Divine Wheel's Kill, refining the entire Eternal Divine Wheel might take less than ten years.

After refining the Eternal Divine Wheel, even if Ku Ku Sansang remained trapped, he could use the Eternal Divine Wheel to leave this place and find the Wheel's Heart.

Now that Ding Huan has taken over Ku Ku Sansang's refinement of the Eternal Divine Wheel, it's vastly easier.

He prepared in advance, refining the Wheel's Heart and the Wheel's Kill beforehand; as long as both are within the Eternal Divine Wheel, he will soon reach the first seal.

With his current cultivation and strength, refining the entire Eternal Divine Wheel will take at most ten years.

For Ding Huan, the most difficult period of refining the Eternal Divine Wheel is already behind him.

Ding Huan landed on the gray stone and did not rush to refine the Eternal Divine Wheel.

Whether this gray stone belonged to the Eternal Divine Sage Shen Huang or to Ku Ku Sansang, Ding Huan would not allow any other person's treasure to remain here while he refined the Eternal Divine Wheel.

So Ding Huan first refined the gray stone and the gray chain upon it.

The gray stone floated in the Eternal Divine Abyss with no external interference; Ding Huan needed only one day to strip away the outermost treasure Dao principles and locate the first seal.

As Ding Huan effortlessly refined layer after layer of seals, he came to understand what the gray stone was.

Great Nirvana Stone.

Ding Huan still isn't certain what level of treasure the Great Nirvana Stone is.

But based on his experience refining treasures, he could guess it surpassed the level of Primordial Spirit Treasure.

His Heaven's Bow and its three arrows, each alone, were Primordial Spirit Treasures; but when combined, they surpassed Primordial Spirit Treasure and reached the level of Creation Treasure.

Creation Treasures were companion treasures born when Chaos condensed into the vast universe, also called Creation Treasures.

Such treasures were rare—no more than a few would form when a universe was opened.

According to Ding Huan's knowledge, things like the Cosmic Grinder, Cosmic Weaving Mold, Seven Realm Stone, Time Wheel, and Heaven's Mechanism Plate were all Creation Supreme Treasures.

Of course, the tiers among Creation Treasures varied greatly.

For instance, the Cosmic Weaving Mold and Heaven's Mechanism Plate, though both Creation Treasures, differed vastly in tier.

Although Ding Huan possessed many treasures, only the Cosmic Cauldron and Heaven's Bow qualified as Creation Supreme Treasures.

As for the Eternal Life Talisman, it still lacked a talisman spirit; its tier remained unclear.

Now another possible Creation Treasure—the Great Nirvana Stone—had appeared; Ding Huan was naturally pleased.

Above Creation Treasures were Chaos Treasures and Post-Chaos Treasures.

Whether Chaos Treasures or Post-Chaos Treasures, they were things impossible to seek or obtain.

According to Lao Jia's words, the Eternal Divine Wheel was a Chaos Treasure.

At the very least, it was a Post-Chaos Treasure.

A month later, Ding Huan stopped.

On the hundred-and-sixth seal of the Great Nirvana Stone, he sensed a different Dao resonance and law.

Previously, Ding Huan would never have noticed it.

Now, after being manipulated so often, and with his extreme sensitivity to all laws of the vast universe,

the moment he caught this Dao resonance slightly different from the Great Nirvana Stone, he immediately sensed it.

Ding Huan was certain this trace of Great Dao was not left by Ku Ku Sansang.

That meant the Great Nirvana Stone wasn't Ku Ku Sansang's either—it belonged to the Eternal Divine Sage Shen Huang, and this trace of Dao resonance was Shen Huang's.

Ding Huan did not touch this trace of Dao resonance; he continued refining the Great Nirvana Stone.

After Ding Huan fully refined the Great Nirvana Stone's one hundred and eight seals, he proceeded to refine the gray chain upon it.

The gray chain was slightly lower in tier; Ding Huan refined it in just two days.

Soul-Capturing Chain—not Ku Ku Sansang's possession.

Because the Soul-Capturing Chain bound Ku Ku Sansang, he himself could not refine it.

The truth was, Ku Ku Sansang refined the Great Nirvana Stone but didn't know there was still a trace of Shen Huang's Dao resonance upon it.

Ding Huan could be certain: even if Ku Ku Sansang hadn't fallen into his hands today, if he ever dared to rebel, he would eventually be punished by the Eternal Divine Sage Shen Huang.

This guy claimed to be the Dao Ancestor of a realm—he's an embarrassment to the very title of Dao Ancestor.

Ding Huan tossed the Soul-Capturing Chain and the Great Nirvana Stone into his own world and specifically sealed them with a barrier before beginning to refine the Eternal Divine Wheel.

The Eternal Divine Sage wanted to leave a trace of Dao resonance, did he?

Ding Huan would study Shen Huang's Great Dao trace after refining the Eternal Divine Wheel.

They would inevitably clash; better to understand first what kind of Dao trace the opponent had left.

……

Inside the Cosmic Cauldron.

Emperor Hou Hen stood up.

His cultivation was fully restored; he looked toward Ding Huan's location and felt profound emotion.

Indeed, choosing the right person to follow matters greatly—if he had followed Luo Xu, even if he knew Luo Xu had turned to ash, Luo Xu would never come here to save him.

Look at Brother Ding Huan—he came immediately upon learning of his trouble.

What made him feel guilty was that he hadn't been able to save Ding Huan's friend Mo Changcan.

Something seemed off—he had never met Mo Changcan at all.

"Senior Emperor Hou Hen." With the help of the Cosmic Marrow, Pu Zhijian had also recovered.

He was different from Emperor Hou Hen.

Although Emperor Hou Hen was reduced to skin and bones, he could still sense some of the movements outside.

Pu Zhijian had simply been waiting to die.

If Ding Huan hadn't helped him strip away the mottled Dao rhyme from his body, and had even used half a drop of Cosmic Marrow, he would have been as good as dead.

"Dao Friend Pu, you've finally recovered," Emperor Hou Hen said with feeling.

"We seem to have been captured by that pervert to purify the mottled Dao laws for him, huh…"

Pu Zhijian suddenly understood—after regaining consciousness, he had desperately absorbed the world's primordial energy to restore his strength.

He hadn't thought about anything else.

The Cosmic Pot was rich in primordial energy, and with the heaven-defying Cosmic Marrow, his recovery was fast.

Now that his strength had returned, he finally understood.

The mottled Dao rhyme on his body had completely vanished; moreover, the reason he could recover in such a short time was the Cosmic Marrow.

He'd heard that Sect Leader Ding had Cosmic Marrow.

"Now you know—Brother Ding Huan is back. The moment he learned we were trapped here, he came to rescue us right away." Emperor Hou Hen cupped his fist toward the direction where Ding Huan was.

Pu Zhijian fully understood the whole story now, and said with some shame:

"We came to rescue Dao Friend Mo Changcan, and now we still need Dao Friend Ding to save us—sigh, shameful. This place is…"

"This is the Cosmic Pot."

"Then where is Dao Friend Ding?" Pu Zhijian was overjoyed; he hadn't seen Ding Huan and assumed Ding Huan was still in closed-door cultivation.

Emperor Hou Hen shook his head: "Brother Ding isn't on the Cosmic Pot. If I'm not mistaken, he's very likely refining an absolute treasure."

When Emperor Hou Hen said this to others, perhaps they wouldn't quite understand.

But Pu Zhijian knew perfectly well what Emperor Hou Hen meant.

He and Emperor Hou Hen had served as Dao-law purifiers for hundreds of years—how could they not know what treasure Emperor Hou Hen was referring to?

That treasure was very likely the Eternal God Abyss.

If the Eternal God Abyss was a treasure, what level of treasure would it be? Just thinking about it shook Pu Zhijian to his core.

"What do we do now?" Pu Zhijian looked at Emperor Hou Hen.

"Brother Ding Huan gave me control of this flying treasure. Let's first leave the Eternal God Abyss, then wait outside for Brother Ding Huan."

As Emperor Hou Hen spoke, he had already activated the Cosmic Pot.

As layer after layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel were refined by Ding Huan, the Eternal God Abyss gradually became illusory.

The cultivators of Blue Star God Continent, upon learning that the Eternal God Abyss was gradually becoming illusory, didn't really care.

After all, they had already witnessed the disappearance of the First God Rift and the Second God Rift; in their eyes, the Eternal God Abyss was no different from the First and Second God Rifts.

The Dao Court, however, was not at peace.

In fact, ever since Ding Huan constructed the Blue Star God Continent Star-Protecting Grand Array, the Dao Court had been in a state of agitation.

Even though locked down by the Star-Protecting Grand Array, the pseudo-saints of the Dao Court could still sense it.

It was that the God-Abandoned Land in their eyes seemed to be gradually repairing itself, and the world's rules were tending toward completeness.

After the Eternal God Abyss was also encircled by the Star-Protecting Grand Array, the pseudo-saints—including Great Emperor Jue Yuan—could no longer sit still.

They could almost be certain that someone had repaired the God-Abandoned Land and then set up an entirely new Star-Protecting Grand Array.

As for the Dao Court, it had simply been abandoned.

A group of pseudo-saints led by Great Emperor Jue Yuan convened their first grand united assembly.

The assembly had only one theme—finding a way to break open the Blue Star God Continent's Star-Protecting Grand Array and enter the Blue Star God Continent.

With a place where the world's rules were more complete, no one was willing to stay in the Dao Court any longer.

Only the Lord of Cut-River, Ni Cangxing, was unwilling to attend this assembly.

He was pacing around the outer perimeter of the Blue Star God Continent Star-Protecting Grand Array; if anyone had the most regret, it was surely him.

He had assumed that no matter how formidable Ding Huan was, he could never repair the God-Abandoned Land.

In fact, Ding Huan had seemingly repaired the God-Abandoned Land in just a few hundred years.

Not only that, he had even established the Star-Protecting Grand Array.

He had missed the best opportunity.

One must remember that back then, because he had given Ding Huan a hand, Ding Huan had invited him face to face.

"Father, I don't think we need to stick with these selfish fellows like Jue Yuan. Let's leave the Dao Court on our own. As long as we search along the Blue Star God Continent's protective array, we'll eventually find an entrance."

Ni Cangxing's only son, Ni Chongtian, said decisively and resolutely.

He was someone Ni Cangxing had exchanged a Fire Origin Bead for a drop of Ding Huan's Cosmic Marrow to save; he was a one-of-a-kind Void Dao Body, so once he recovered, his cultivation advanced extremely quickly.

In just a short time, he reached the peak of the God-Synthesis Realm.

"You're right, Chong. We leave Cut-River now, leave the Dao Court. I missed one chance—I can't miss a second.

And with your talent, you absolutely cannot be confined to this little place called the Dao Court."

Ni Cangxing decided on the spot—he could afford to waste time, but his son could not squander time here.
