Chapter 807: The Great Dream Dao Principle

"Of course, trash people create trash cultivation methods." Ding Huan's eyes showed contempt.

Meng Chuan Nü looked at Ding Huan coldly: "When did my Great Dream Dao become a trash cultivation method?"

"The Great Dream Dao routinely harms innocent cultivators on an entire planet, draining their nightmare-volition energy for the cultivator's own use.

If that's not trash, then tell me what is? Calling it trash is an insult to the word 'trash'."

Ding Huan's Break-Catastrophe Blade sensed his intent, humming and trembling, its killing aura naturally surging forth.

This time, Meng Chuan Nü showed little anger; instead, she spoke calmly:

"The Great Dream Dao cultivates the Dao through one's own dreams, though it does involve many other Dao principles.

But it has nothing to do with harming an entire planet, or even with any second person.

The Great Dream Dao you saw? That was the modified version created by Hui Zhi—he betrayed me and stole my Great Dream Dao Principle.

Then, using my Great Dream Dao Principle and the Great Dream Dao Scripture I created, he forged his own version of the Great Dream Dao."

Ding Huan froze. Could this be true?

"Your Great Dream Dao Principle?"

Ding Huan didn't quite understand this statement.

Meng Chuan Nü's tone softened further: "Though I, Meng Chuan Nü, am no virtuous person, I would never use the lives of innocent cultivators on an entire planet for my cultivation.

I obtained a primordial Dao Principle born from the opening of heaven and earth—that was the Great Dream Dao Principle. It was my fortune; I used it to create my Great Dream Dao.

My cultivation method isn't my own personal Dao, but a branch of the Primordial Dao. Later, I met Huan—he was truly an extraordinary genius who created the Great Cosmos Dao.

Huan fell for me at first sight and wished to become my Dao partner…"

Ding Huan glanced at Meng Chuan Nü's appearance and felt speechless inside.

With your looks, Huan—who created the Great Cosmos Dao—fell for you? You couldn't even fool my second dog.

Meng Chuan Nü paid no mind to Ding Huan's gaze and continued:

"But then I met Hui Zhi. He was deeply cunning—he constantly flattered me, even offered to inherit my Great Dream Dao…

I believed him and chose Hui Zhi. Until one day, he betrayed me and stole my Great Dream Dao Principle.

I became a stray dog, hunted relentlessly, forced to hide in this desert of the middle universe, barely clinging to life."

"Isn't this desert the remnant of a star continent destroyed by a cosmic cataclysm?" Ding Huan was surprised.

"Yes, this was once a star continent. My Great Dream Dao is extremely sensitive to cosmic dangers—I sensed the coming cataclysm and knew this place would survive, so I hid here in advance."

At this, Meng Chuan Nü finally sighed:

"I originally planned to perfect my Dao and seek out Hui Zhi for revenge. But bound by the cosmic rules here, and after two consecutive cosmic cataclysms, though I still barely live, I'm trapped here."

Ding Huan stared at Meng Chuan Nü in shock.

This woman is terrifying.

She survived two consecutive cosmic cataclysms, and her current cultivation is still quite strong.

"Your Dao is extraordinary, and your decisiveness in killing is admirable. I wish to cooperate with you," Meng Chuan Nü said after much talk, finally revealing her purpose.

Most importantly, Ding Huan was immune to the spatial shifts of the Great Dream Desert and its illusions—that was why she chose him.

Ding Huan sneered at Meng Chuan Nü:

"What are you? Daring to propose cooperation with Master Huan? Get as far away as you can."

Whether or not this woman was the original creator of that vile Great Dream Dao, in Ding Huan's eyes, she deserved to die.

After the cosmic cataclysm, nearly all star continents were annihilated.

This left countless surviving cultivators with nowhere safe to go.

When they saw this desert, they would come here—as he had.

But most of those cultivators would likely perish in this woman's hands.

Just as he had—if not for his Great Cosmos Art, he too would have fallen into her grasp, at her mercy.

This woman's cultivation resources were likely accumulated this way.

Meng Chuan Nü's gaze turned cold: "You think your blade intent just now injured me, so you believe I can't touch you, right?

Let me tell you—if I wished, you could never leave the Great Dream Desert."

Ding Huan no longer wasted words; his Break-Catastrophe Blade could no longer contain its furious killing intent, and a river of the Yellow Springs slashed down from the void.

The tearing blade momentum struck, and cracks appeared in the space within Meng Chuan Nü's domain.

The already shattered fragments of spatial laws shattered further under Ding Huan's overwhelming killing pressure.

Meng Chuan Nü's eyes sharpened—just from this one slash, she knew she could trap Ding Huan here, but killing him was utterly impossible.

Behind her, the emerald bamboo shot skyward, transforming into a curtain of green.

Boom!

Then came a series of cracking sounds as the Break-Catastrophe Blade's Yellow Springs imprint slammed into the green curtain, its blade intent beginning to collapse.

Within moments, the blade momentum and killing intent vanished entirely, while the emerald bamboo hovered above Meng Chuan Nü's head, still brimming with vitality.

Ding Huan thought inwardly: This woman's green bamboo hat is no ordinary item.

Just now, the killing aura and deathly blade momentum from his Break-Catastrophe Blade were entirely devoured by the green bamboo—yet not a single bamboo leaf fell.

Killing this woman seems unlikely.

Since he couldn't kill her, Ding Huan stopped wasting time with her.

His Break-Catastrophe Blade drew a graceful arc through the void and hung on his back.

Ding Huan pulled out a teleportation array disc.

The disc activated—he vanished from the desert, reappearing in the void beyond its edge.

He left so easily?

Meng Chuan Nü stared, stunned, at the spot where Ding Huan had vanished, her mind unable to calm for a long while.

Over these many years, countless people have been trapped in the Great Dream Desert, but Ding Huan is the first to leave calmly.

When Ding Huan left, she could not even interfere.

It took her a long while to calm down.

Ding Huan absolutely cannot be allowed to leave like this—he is the partner she seeks.

Ding Huan glanced at the desert; his cultivation was still too low to deal with it.

As he packed away his teleportation array core, preparing to leave, Meng Chuan woman suddenly burst out of the desert and appeared before Ding Huan.

Ding Huan froze—had this woman truly subjugated the desert?

Otherwise, how could she leave so easily and stand before him?

That doesn't make sense—if she had subjugated this desert, she should have been able to trap him completely.

Even with his teleportation array disc, he couldn't have escaped.

"Esteemed fellow cultivator, I apologize for my previous attitude. I believe in your abilities, and I am even more certain that together we can kill Hui Zhi…"

As soon as Meng Chuan woman emerged, her demeanor became extremely humble.

"You want to team up with me to kill Hui Zhi?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled.

Meng Chuan woman nodded: "Yes. I live only to kill Hui Zhi—otherwise, my Dao will never be unblocked."

Ding Huan himself truly wanted to kill Hui Zhi, but his tone remained indifferent:

"I do dislike that dog, but I have no grudge against Hui Zhi. Why should I help you kill him? What do I gain?"

Meng Chuan woman took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down:

"Someone like Hui Zhi will never be destroyed by the Cosmic Cataclysm. Worse, he will live comfortably in a realm where the Heavenly Laws are perfectly intact.

Because of the Great Dream Dao, no matter where Hui Zhi hides, I can always find him.

Hui Zhi possesses many valuable items. Once we kill him, we split them evenly—you may even choose first."

Ding Huan's heart stirred at the news that Meng Chuan woman could locate Hui Zhi.

After the Cosmic Cataclysm, nearly all complete star-continents in the middle cosmos had their Heavenly Laws shattered.

Even in the lower cosmos realms, few star-continents retained undamaged Heavenly Laws.

If Hui Zhi might be cultivating on a star-continent with intact Heavenly Laws, then he no longer needs to wander this void like a headless fly?

Though intrigued, Ding Huan still frowned: "You have a grudge against Hui Zhi. If I help you kill him, what do I get?"

"Don't you want to go to a star-continent with intact Heavenly Laws? Given Hui Zhi's nature, the place he's in now might even be a high-level cosmos."

Meng Chuan woman was certain Ding Huan would desire to reach a star-continent with intact Heavenly Laws.

Just this one point would make him cooperate with her.

Besides, they could split Hui Zhi's possessions evenly?

Ding Huan said coolly: "You sensed me cultivating in that desert.

With my abilities, I can cultivate even in this void—so whether I go to a star-continent with intact Heavenly Laws makes little difference.

Therefore, your offer holds no appeal for me. Besides, are you certain you can even obtain Hui Zhi's belongings?"

"Then what do you want?"

Meng Chuan woman frowned; she had assumed that offering to take Ding Huan to a true high-level realm with intact Heavenly Laws would make him agree instantly.

Unexpectedly, Ding Huan refused.

Then again—if Hui Zhi's belongings were in her own world, on what basis could she possibly obtain them?

Though Ding Huan did not say it outright, she understood his implication.

Ding Huan's current cultivation is certainly lower than hers, and she herself is barely at the Seventh Transformation Saint realm.

With our current strength, confronting Hui Zhi would be suicide—let alone acquiring anything from his world.

"If we kill Hui Zhi, I will take the Great Dream Dao, and we split the rest evenly," Ding Huan said coolly.

Meng Chuan woman stared at Ding Huan in disbelief.

The Great Dream Dao was what she most desperately desired—if Ding Huan took it, what would she have left?

"Impossible," Meng Chuan woman refused without hesitation.

Ding Huan knew this was unlikely, so he said: "Then let's do this: we team up to kill Hui Zhi. Whoever obtains the Great Dream Dao gets to keep it."

Meng Chuan woman paused briefly, then nodded: "Fine. But you must wait here for a thousand years—I must first subjugate the Great Dream Desert and take it with me."

In her mind, the Great Dream Dao was hers to claim.

Hui Zhi had carried the Great Dream Dao for so many years, yet he could not block her sense of it.

How could a mere insect like Ding Huan possibly take the Great Dream Dao from right under her nose?
