Chapter 876: Dao Veins Piled High

~11 min read 2,086 words

Dao Ancestor Qing Sha watched from afar as a group of Tianmeng Tribe cultivators crowded around the spot where Ding Huan had drawn out the dao veins, arguing loudly, and her heart burned as if set on fire.

From the earlier commotion, Dao Ancestor Qing Sha could guess that Ding Huan must have drawn out two dao veins at this spot.

And this spot was a place the Tianmeng Tribe passed through frequently; the Tianmeng Tribe cultivators hadn't discovered the dao veins, yet Ding Huan not only discovered them, he also found a paired vein.

This meant that besides having a top-grade chaos treasure on him, the cultivation art Ding Huan practiced was also extraordinary.

She felt deep regret in her heart.

Just a little bit more.

Just that little bit short, and everything on Ding Huan would have been hers.

At this moment, Dao Ancestor Qing Sha was absolutely certain.

It was Ding Huan who had destroyed her Zhoumu Domain.

Although she still didn't know how Ding Huan had done it, after Ding Huan destroyed her Zhoumu Domain, his cultivation had clearly advanced by a major tier.

He must have attained the Eternal Dao.

If she didn't take down Ding Huan soon, in the not-too-distant future, Ding Huan might actually be able to match her.

Ding Huan hadn't even yet attained the Eternal Dao, yet he could destroy the cosmic walls built by several dao ancestors, and even enter the chaos to survive.

Such methods and such a dao probably surpassed her own dao.

By that reckoning, Ding Huan really might be able to match her in the future.

Thinking that Ding Huan might one day match her, Dao Ancestor Qing Sha instinctively shivered.

She could figure out with her toes that once Ding Huan's strength surpassed hers, the first person Ding Huan would want to kill would be her.

This was not an impossibility.

It's only been a little over ten thousand years, right? Ding Huan has already attained the Eternal Saint dao—this speed is somewhat terrifying.

Now that Ding Huan has entered the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, given how cunning this person is, it would be very hard for her to catch him.

The only option was to ally with the other dao ancestors.

……

"Brother Ding, how about I enter your world? Your speed would be faster that way." Jia Baihe also felt she was somewhat slowing Ding Huan down.

Ding Huan smiled: "The reason I don't let you enter the world is so you can sense the changes in the spatial laws of my escape, as well as the changes in the dao rules of my domain.

Once we find a quiet place, you'll need to sever your dao and re-attain it.

Staying in my world at this time won't do you much good."

Ding Huan didn't refuse to let Jia Baihe stay in his world because he thought his world wasn't good enough.

Rather, his world wasn't suitable for Jia Baihe's dao attainment and cultivation.

Jia Baihe was no little lamb; she was extremely decisive in killing. Back in the cultivation world, she had been the number one poison demon.

And his world was constructed from his own dao, though it was constantly being perfected.

Ding Huan was very clear about what his world lacked.

Although Ding Huan himself greatly loathed tribulations, loathed killing, and loathed all kinds of deceit and treachery,

he still had to admit that only in a world filled with shattered laws and laws of slaughter after such tribulations could one comprehend an even more powerful dao.

In a world like his, with such a peaceful atmosphere, even if Jia Baihe attained her dao, her strength would be diminished.

The Tianmeng people hadn't come in pursuit, so Ding Huan led Jia Baihe wandering through the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range for nearly a month.

Along the way, he sensed the locations of dao veins a few more times, but he didn't act.

If he kept drawing out dao veins the whole way, it would be tantamount to telling others his direction of travel and position.

He marked these dao veins; in the future, when his cultivation grew stronger, he would openly draw them out one by one.

A month and a half later, Ding Huan and Jia Baihe stopped.

"This is the edge of the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range?" Jia Baihe looked at the surroundings, and at the boundless Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range stretching into the distance, and couldn't help saying.

Ding Huan sighed: "That Qi Xi really is no good sort. This place is clearly where dao veins were first discovered—look around…"

The surroundings were covered in signs of having been dug up.

Obviously, dao veins had once appeared here, and many people had searched for them.

It's just that this place had been dug over so badly that even if there were dao veins, they would have long been taken away.

"We can't enter the Tianmeng Tribe from here either." Jia Baihe was somewhat puzzled.

Her divine sense had already swept over an area of tens of thousands of li, and she hadn't found any entrance to the Tianmeng Tribe.

"There is one." As Ding Huan spoke, he walked several dozen li in one direction, raised his hand, and carved out a series of void array patterns.

Immediately, a vortex entrance appeared before Ding Huan and Jia Baihe.

"This is a natural concealment restriction. Once we go in from here, it should be Tianmeng Tribe territory."

Ding Huan pointed at the vortex entrance before him that he had broken open.

With Ding Huan's eye, he could tell that this natural restriction hadn't been formed for too long.

Jia Baihe was puzzled: "If Tianmeng Tribe people are waiting on the other side, wouldn't going over be suicide?"

Ding Huan shook his head: "There are definitely no Tianmeng Tribe cultivators on the other side of here."

Seeing Jia Baihe's confusion, Ding Huan explained:

"This should be a Tianmeng Tribe ruin site. If I'm not mistaken, before the tribulation, the Tianmeng Tribe lived on the other side of this vortex.

After the tribulation passed, chaos re-evolved new living lands. The Tianmeng Tribe underground would also obtain new living lands.

And this old ruin site is filled with chaotic heaven and earth laws. In a space with such chaotic heaven and earth laws, countless different law fragments constantly collide.

Even the Tianmeng Tribe can't survive here, so they had to withdraw."

Jia Baihe nodded.

She had heard Ding Huan say this before.

This chaotic space formed by the laws of all things—any cultivator who entered would be torn to shreds by the chaotic laws of heaven and earth.

Ding Huan cultivated a different technique, one that seemed especially suited to these chaotic laws.

"Come, I'll take you in. You can also use this chaotic-law space to comprehend your own Dao. If possible, you can prove your Dao right here."

"I understand."

Gabele understood what Ding Huan meant.

From the time they emerged from the chaos until now, Ding Huan had been trying hard to tell her about the influence of the laws of all things upon the Dao.

And even more, he was telling her the use of the laws of all things for the Primordial Dao.

Ding Huan reached out, took Gabele, and in a single step stepped into the vortex.

The moment Ding Huan stepped into the vortex, the void dao patterns he had carved outside vanished, and this void vortex vanished along with them.

Even though she was held in Ding Huan's arms, Gabele could still feel the chaotic law turbulence in the space, and the terrifying spatial dislocation caused by the collision of endless law turbulence.

She had a feeling that if Ding Huan let go of her, in the next instant not even a sliver of her divine soul would remain.

This place was simply too terrifying.

Not to mention Gabele—even Ding Huan himself could clearly feel the terrifying tearing sensation of billions of laws colliding and grinding within the vortex.

Fortunately, he could construct his own great Dao Zhou Tian in the shortest possible time. No matter how complex and chaotic the laws, once drawn into his great Dao Zhou Tian, they would be clearly separated by Ding Huan.

At this moment, all of Ding Huan's law star rivers were expanding.

What delighted Ding Huan most was that his Severing Law star river was also rapidly being perfected.

Not only that, he sensed the Law of Oblivion.

The Law of Oblivion star river, from its initial blurry state, now had a clear embryonic form.

Just as Ling Zhuzhen had said, there was indeed someone among the Tianmeng Clan who cultivated the Oblivion Dao.

Otherwise, there could not be such a clear Law of Oblivion here.

He did not know how long had passed before Ding Huan burst out of the vortex.

Beyond his divine sense, everything was the collision of chaotic law streams.

If it were anyone else, they would probably despair, because there was truly no place to exist here.

Although the world's spiritual energy was dense to the extreme, there really was no room to survive.

Ding Huan, on the contrary, was overjoyed.

This place was too suitable for his cultivation.

He did not know how many dao veins had been ground to pieces, but the world's spiritual energy here was dense to the extreme.

As if that were not enough, the entire space was filled with endless shattered laws.

Billions of different laws of heaven and earth constantly collided, forming law turbulence, filling this place with all kinds of tearing space.

His Grand Cosmos Art needed exactly this kind of place.

In this chaotic space of billions of colliding laws, wherever Ding Huan passed, even the laws of space became much clearer and more orderly.

many.

Ding Huan, meanwhile, landed on the ground.

His divine sense swept out, and Ding Huan quickly found a stable spot.

In this space where shattered laws collided everywhere, finding a space without chaotic laws was truly not easy.

"The world's spiritual energy here is so dense, it's just that the laws of heaven and earth are somewhat shattered…" Gabele remarked with feeling.

Ding Huan reached down and pulled a dao vein out from underground; he could hardly believe it himself.

It was actually a high-grade dao vein.

Gabele was equally stunned.

Were dao veins everywhere here?

Ding Huan sighed, "I didn't expect that Qi Xi was actually telling the truth—dao veins really are everywhere here."

Not only were dao veins everywhere here, but the dao veins here could also be pulled out at any time.

There was none of the commotion of extracting dao veins from the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

"Didn't they say this used to be where the Tianmeng Clan cultivators lived? Why are there so many dao veins?"

Gabele was very puzzled.

It simply made no sense for the Tianmeng Clan cultivators to leave so many dao veins here.

When the Tianmeng Clan migrated away, they would absolutely have dug up everything that could be dug up—how could they leave dao veins behind?

Ding Huan's divine sense swept around the surroundings, then seeped down into the ground, before he said, "These should have naturally seeped through after the Tianmeng Clan cultivators migrated away.

Many people know there is a pile of dao veins here, yet no one can come here.

Look at the chaotic law space and the billions of shattered law turbulence around us—even someone at the seventh step of the Dao coming here would probably find it hard to keep their life."

Without coming to this place, Ding Huan still could not understand what Qi Xi meant by dao veins being everywhere.

Now he understood.

Dao veins really were everywhere here.

The law-turbulence space was the ground-up debris of shattered dao veins.

In places not touched by the chaotic laws, dao veins had piled up into mountains.

It's just that at first, although people could not come in, they could still see the situation here from outside.

It would not be strange for some shattered dao veins to be washed out by the chaotic law streams.

Now, because the accumulation of chaotic and shattered laws has grown more and more severe, even from outside one cannot see anything at all.

To obtain dao veins, one can only pass through this chaotic law layer and reach where he is—and how many people can do that?
