Chapter 855: The Cosmic Wall Cannot Stop Ding Huan
After Dao Ancestor Qingsha finished speaking, she thought of something else:
"Why didn't you just tear open that Ding Huan's world? Don't tell me you really took a fancy to this Ding Huan, wanting to take his Light Dao Laws and then take him as a disciple."
After saying this, Qingsha looked at Jiong with a hint of mockery.
If Jiong dared to lie, she wouldn't mind taking this guy out directly.
Jiong had once been a Heavenly Emperor; he had seen such things countless times—how could he not understand what Qingsha meant?
He hurriedly bowed and said, "This junior is incompetent; I couldn't open that Ding Huan's world."
"You couldn't open Ding Huan's world?"
Dao Ancestor Qingsha stared at Jiong, frowning.
If Jiong were a Sage below the Fourth Step of the Great Dao, then being unable to open a Nine-Turn Sage's world would be normal.
Jiong was clearly at the Fifth Step of the Great Dao, and his Dao Rhythms were not bad either.
In the current universe, under normal circumstances, as a Fifth Step cultivator of the Great Dao, opening a world of a Sage below Immortality was still possible.
Of course, this wasn't a hundred percent.
Once this Nine-Turn Sage's Great Dao was very powerful and the Dao essence was pure, let alone the Fifth Step—even the Sixth Step, Seventh Step
might not necessarily be able to open it.
After the universe's Calamity of Measurement, broken Heaven and Earth Laws were everywhere.
For ordinary cultivators, finding a stable place to prove their Dao was extremely difficult, let alone perfecting their own world.
Ding Huan didn't look very old, which meant the time Ding Huan proved his Dao as a Sage was definitely after the Calamity of Measurement.
So Jiong being unable to open Ding Huan's post-Calamity Sage Great Dao world was problematic.
The problem might not lie with Jiong; it could also lie with Ding Huan.
"A cultivator who practices wood-attribute techniques—how could his own world be so formidable?"
Dao Ancestor Qingsha seemed to be muttering to herself, yet also seemed to find it inconceivable.
But in an instant she seemed to recall something, and walked up to the man and woman still standing there:
"Bring out the image of that wood-attribute Sage tested by the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy just now. Let me take a look."
"Yes." The man didn't dare hesitate in the slightest, and took out the image crystal ball from when Ding Huan was being tested.
Although he was the tester, Ding Huan himself didn't watch his own spatial image.
Because no cultivator could evade the detection of the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy—not even a Dao Ancestor.
There was no need for him to waste time watching this detection image, examining the space within a cultivator's image.
Dao Ancestor Qingsha activated the image crystal ball. Dense wood-attribute Dao Rhythms surged out, and the world's Laws were entirely wood-attribute.
This wasn't strange; she had sensed it before.
Precisely because of Ding Huan's pure wood-attribute Dao Rhythms, she had wanted to toss Ding Huan in to perfect her River of Dao Laws.
But as she looked at Ding Huan's wood-attribute world, she sensed something was off.
This world was too singular.
The Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy had many uses, but in this place, its main purpose was to test a cultivator's Dao Rhythms and world.
To sense whether life existed within the world.
Yet the world she saw was not only singular and lifeless, even the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws composing the world seemed off.
She couldn't sense any wood-attribute Great Dao space.
Could this world be fake?
Just to cope with the detection of the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy?
The moment she thought this world might be fake, Dao Ancestor Qingsha grew excited.
To be able to fool the detection of the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy with a fake world, there were only two possibilities.
First, Ding Huan's cultivation was simply too powerful—so powerful that even the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy couldn't accurately sense it.
This was clearly impossible.
If Ding Huan's cultivation were really that powerful, would he still have been caught here like a grandson, and ultimately thrown by her into the Chaos to fill and perfect the River of Dao Laws?
Then it must be the second possibility.
Ding Huan possessed a magic treasure, one that could block the Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy's prying and detection.
Dao Ancestor Qingsha's heart began to pound wildly.
The last time she had been this excited was when she proved the Seventh Step of the Dao, ultimately becoming a Dao Ancestor of a Grand Cosmos, wielding absolute authority of speech within the Grand Cosmos.
Today, once again, she found it hard to contain her excitement.
Because she felt that Ding Huan very likely possessed a Chaos Supreme Treasure on him.
The Myriad Laws Grand Cosmos Canopy was a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure. What could block the detection of a Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure, if not a Chaos Supreme Treasure?
Jiong stood woodenly, silent.
When Ding Huan's world was being tested, he could only sense Ding Huan's wood-attribute Great Dao Rhythms.
He could not see what Ding Huan's own Great Dao world, which was being tested, actually looked like.
Now, because of Dao Ancestor Qingsha, he saw it.
The moment he saw this world, he thought that Ding Huan might possess a Chaos treasure.
Jiong sighed.
That flying magic treasure on Ding Huan was already extraordinary—very likely a Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure.
He hadn't expected that besides that flying pot, Ding Huan also possessed an even more powerful magic treasure.
After being Heavenly Emperor for so many years, he hadn't even been able to lay a finger on a Chaos treasure—had he lived his life like a dog?
What a pity, just a little bit short.
As long as Qing Sha Dao Zu doesn't come today, all these things on Ding Huan will one day be his.
"Qing Sha Dao Zu, Ding Huan has entered the Zhou Mu Chaos Zone and is filling the Dao Principle River…"
The speaker was the cultivator who had taken Ding Huan to fill the Dao Principle River.
When he finished his task and returned, he received a message from Qing Sha Dao Zu.
He could only grit his teeth and come forward to personally inform Qing Sha Dao Zu that he could no longer bring Ding Huan back.
Upon hearing this, Qing Sha Dao Zu nearly choked on her breath.
"Useless trash, how did you handle this?"
She only cursed once, then her reason returned.
The last subordinate who was sluggish and delayed her affairs
Was thrown by her into the Chaos Zone to perfect the Dao Principle River.
Therefore, every one of her subordinates now acts with great efficiency.
Whatever she orders, her subordinates always complete it in the shortest possible time.
Precisely because of this, her Wan Sha World has risen to become one of the powers in the Great Universe.
Now, in this very situation, her subordinates, eager to complete her orders as quickly as possible, sent Ding Huan into the Chaos Zone and into the Dao Principle River in the shortest time imaginable.
If she continues to rage, who will dare to serve her in the future?
Qing Sha Dao Zu waved her hand: "This isn't your fault. Step down. I'll go see for myself."
After saying this, Qing Sha Dao Zu rushed into the teleportation array and vanished instantly.
…
As soon as Ding Huan entered the Chaos Zone, suffocating chaotic energy surged over him, mixed with countless fragmented Dao principles.
Chaos began to corrode Ding Huan's Dao and physical body.
Ding Huan immediately activated the Great Universe Art.
Indeed, the Great Universe Art formed a perfect Zhou Tian with the Chaos.
The chaotic energy tearing at Ding Huan's Dao and body weakened.
Within the Chaos, Ding Huan could now move.
But there was no sense of direction in the Chaos.
Ding Huan could not tell which direction was where he had entered.
In fact, even if he could identify it, he would not return to his original spot.
What he needed to do now was rush immediately into the true Chaos.
Not linger in this artificially enclosed Chaos Zone.
He had a premonition that staying here would not be good for him.
In the transparent space artifact, he had used the Eternal Spirit Wheel to block the detection artifact's perception of him.
If this matter had not been revealed, it would be fine.
But if Qing Sha Dao Zu found out, she would instantly suspect he possessed a higher-tier artifact.
This enclosed Chaos Zone belonged to Qing Sha Dao Zu.
In Qing Sha Dao Zu's eyes, he was merely a Dao principle used to fill the Dao Principle River.
Once Qing Sha Dao Zu realized this, she might forcibly extract him.
In this Dao-principle-merged Chaos Zone, he struggled to survive—but Qing Sha Dao Zu could certainly find him, because it was her territory.
So he could not stay here.
He could gamble that Qing Sha Dao Zu had not yet realized this, had not thought of it.
But Ding Huan never gambled where the outcome was uncertain.
Under the Zhou Tian of the Great Universe Art, he could move here, and the chaotic energy could not dissolve his Dao or suffocate his vitality.
But his movement speed here was too slow.
He could also, through the Zhou Tian of the Great Universe Art, slowly perceive and assimilate the chaotic Dao principles here.
If he spent time, he would eventually be able to walk out of this Chaos Zone.
Ding Huan thought this was the stupidest approach.
He might not even have assimilated the chaotic Dao principles here before being dragged out again and dumped before Qing Sha Dao Zu's face.
After the Zhou Tian of the Great Universe Art formed and Ding Huan gained freedom, his first act was to sever all Dao lines connected to his body.
Then he pulled out the Eternal Life Talisman and the Heavenly Talisman Dao Principle.
Under the Heavenly Talisman Dao Principle, the Eternal Life Talisman activated, enveloping Ding Huan and instantly vanishing from his original spot.
Boom!
Ding Huan was halted mid-teleportation.
At this moment, Ding Huan paid no attention to his nearly shattered and cracked body, but stared in shock at the wall before him.
He saw the Universe Wall again…
Something was wrong—he was still within the Chaos Zone Qing Sha Dao Zu had described.
The fragmented Dao principles and chaotic energy here confirmed he had not left the woman's Zhou Mu Chaos Zone.
Then this Universe Wall must have been artificially constructed.
Ding Huan sucked in a sharp breath—this woman named Qing Sha was simply too incredible; she could even construct a Universe Wall.
So isolating a Chaos Zone within Chaos was achieved through a Universe Wall.
His Eternal Life Talisman had been blocked by this Universe Wall and could not escape.
If this were a naturally formed Universe Wall, he would have no way to break through.
This artificially formed cosmic wall, Ding Huan felt he had no need to fear it.
He, Ding Huan, had not failed to pass through a cosmic wall before.
Putting away the Eternal Life Grand Talisman, Ding Huan did not delay even half a breath of time before beginning to seep through the cosmic wall before him by means of opposing laws.
His prediction was indeed not wrong; after only a few attempts, he found a fit point within this imperfect cosmic wall.
Even though this Qingsha was a Dao Ancestor, her fusion of the myriad laws of heaven and earth still had far too many flaws.
And the cosmic wall was constructed from the fusion of the laws of all things in heaven and earth.
Within the great cosmos of Zhou Tian, in only a dozen or so breaths, Ding Huan merged into the cosmic wall, and then his body vanished from this stretch of chaos region.
For Ding Huan, passing through a cosmic wall meant comprehending and fusing the various laws of heaven and earth.
Though this was his first time in the great cosmos.
In his great Dao consciousness sea, he had long since condensed myriad cosmic laws.
This kind of artificially constructed cosmic wall inherently had all sorts of problems.
This gave Ding Huan a chance to survive.
By the time Dao Ancestor Qingsha stood outside the Zhou Mu chaos region, Ding Huan had long since passed through the cosmic wall and entered the true location of chaos.
