Chapter 879: Dual Cultivation of the Great Dao

The third time refining the Eternal God Wheel, Ding Huan felt it was far easier than before.

His first refinement of the Eternal God Wheel had never been a true refinement at all; that was only a false refinement, making him think the Eternal God Wheel had been refined, when in fact it had not.

The second time was indeed a real refinement, only he could not refine the entire Eternal God Wheel in one breath, which would have amounted to no refinement at all.

This third refinement of the Eternal God Wheel, Ding Huan only needed ten days to refine the first layer of restrictions.

The reason it took ten days was that Ding Huan repeatedly refined every single minute restriction pattern.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have even needed three days.

One should know that the second time he refined the first layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel, it took him about half a year.

After the first layer of restrictions was refined by Ding Huan for the third time, three barely perceptible traces of Dao intent were cleared away.

These traces of Dao intent should have seeped through obscurely from the restrictions behind the Eternal God Wheel.

After refining the first layer of restrictions, Ding Huan began to carve his own Dao intent imprint on the first layer of restrictions.

Now that his cultivation was at the Creation Realm, his Great Dao had already formed its own system, and he could completely leave behind his own eternal Dao intent brand on the Eternal God Wheel.

Once this kind of Dao intent brand was left behind, even if there were other Dao intents wanting to seep in, it would be very unlikely.

Unless the other's Great Dao was far, far stronger than his.

Ding Huan did not think the residual Great Dao intents of the Eternal God Sage would be much stronger than his.

Moreover, this time he absolutely would not give the Eternal God Sage the slightest chance.

If he did not strip away all the traces of the Eternal God Sage's Dao intent on the Eternal God Wheel, his refinement would be considered a failure.

Ding Huan only used ten days to refine the first layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel, but it took him a full year to carve his own Great Dao intent brand onto the first layer of restrictions.

Just like a battle for a position, Ding Huan spent another year or so refining the second layer of restrictions on the Eternal God Wheel.

Now his first step in refining the Eternal God Wheel's restrictions was to strip away the Eternal God Sage's traces of Dao intent, and the second step was to leave behind his own Dao intent brand.

Stripping the Eternal God Sage's Dao intent imprints off the Eternal God Wheel didn't take much time.

Ding Huan's main time was spent carving his own Great Dao brand.

Two hundred years passed, and when Ding Huan completely refined the final restriction of the Eternal God Wheel,

he clearly sensed a kind of unwilling, furious aura.

Ding Huan chuckled inwardly.

A Chaos treasure like the Eternal God Wheel belonged to whoever obtained it.

Who decreed that such a thing had to belong to the Eternal God Sage?

If the Eternal God Sage dared to come yapping in the future, he wouldn't blame Ding Huan for refining the Eternal God Sage himself into a killing intent within the Eternal God Wheel.

The Great Dao is ultimately simple.

The same goes for a Chaos treasure like the Eternal God Wheel.

Whether it was the Wheel Kill, the Wheel Heart, or the Eternal God Wheel itself,

as long as one could refine all the restrictions of the Eternal God Wheel and brand them with one's own Great Dao intent,

then the Eternal God Wheel would only have one hundred and eight layers of restrictions.

There was no need to separately refine the Wheel Kill or the Wheel Heart...

Ding Huan stretched out his hand, and the Eternal God Wheel appeared in his palm.

That smooth, rounded sense of control made Ding Huan sigh with emotion.

The vast, boundless aura of destruction and slaughter contained within the Eternal God Wheel gave Ding Huan a feeling: once he unleashed the Eternal God Wheel, he could easily destroy a high-grade cosmic star continent.

This was what a treasure of one's own should be like; this effortless ease was what a personal treasure ought to have.

Although his current cultivation was still insufficient to fully unleash the power of the Eternal God Wheel, it would absolutely not be like before, when unleashing the Eternal God Wheel nearly cost him half his life.

Using his own Great Cosmos Art to perfect the laws of his cosmic world,

the Star River of Laws, and to prove his Dao in the Creation Realm.

Added with the great killing weapon that was the Eternal God Wheel, even if he couldn't deal with Dao Ancestor Qingsha, he shouldn't be chased around by this woman, right?

He could leave here and go wander around the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

Once he extracted some more Dao veins at the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range, he would head to the Wansha World to test his Great Severing Art, and also to develop his Great Destruction Art.

Erasing the Wansha World from the Great Cosmos wasn't out of the question.

Sensing the much gentler laws of heaven and earth around him, Ding Huan's divine sense landed on Jia Baili.

"Baili, you succeeded in severing your Dao?"

Ding Huan rushed over to Jia Baili's side, overjoyed.

Not only had Jia Baili succeeded in severing her Dao, she had truly re-proven her Dao, and her cultivation had reached the level of a Six-Turn Saint.

This wasn't normal.

Jia Baili's strength had improved far too quickly.

Jia Baili was equally excited: "I felt your Great Dao..."

Saying this, her earlobes turned slightly red.

She had felt Ding Huan's Great Dao, and by borrowing the aura of Ding Huan's Great Dao, she had perfected her own Primordial Source Great Dao system, which was why she could cultivate so quickly.

Although she and Ding Huan had not yet made any substantial progress,

for cultivators, the merging at the level of the Great Dao was the true dual cultivation.

So that was how it was; Ding Huan understood.

Jia Baili had borrowed from his Great Dao, and he had likewise gained benefits.

Because after Jia Baili severed her Dao and proved her Dao, she had already become a Holy Spirit Dao Body.

It was because of dual cultivation at the Great Dao level with a Holy Spirit Dao Body that he had so easily proven his Dao and reached the Creation Realm.

After proving his Dao in the Creation Realm, he could casually condense his own Great Dao laws and perfect the Star River of Laws.

Then he constructed his own great Dao laws.

"Without you, I also could not have proven the Dao of the Creation Realm." Ding Huan gripped Jia Baihe's hand, his heart surging.

Thinking of how Jia Baihe had miserably fallen at the Divine Sword Shanzhuang in her previous life, still worrying about him before her death, his heart ached.

He had already failed her once; in this life, no matter what, he could not fail Jia Baihe again.

"Baihe, I took this back, let me give it to you again." Ding Huan solemnly took out that big-mouthed pot and handed it to Jia Baihe.

This was the only thing he had ever given Jia Baihe.

Back then, after Jia Baihe fell at the Divine Sword Shanzhuang, she had given this big-mouthed pot to Yan Qi; now Ding Huan had taken it back and given it to Jia Baihe again.

The reason he had waited until now to give it to Jia Baihe was that he was worried her agitated state of mind would bring difficulties to her re-proving of the Dao.

Jia Baihe was re-proving the Dao, so naturally this big-mouthed pot had to be given to her at the first moment.

Originally Jia Baihe had still been wondering why Ding Huan said he could not have proven the Dao of the Creation Realm without her.

Now, suddenly seeing this big-mouthed pot, boundless memories surged up in her heart, and the surging love within could no longer be restrained.

"Ding Huan…"

Jia Baihe threw herself into Ding Huan's arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.

This low-grade spirit artifact used in the cultivation world was her most precious thing.

Ding Huan had brought this thing back to her again.

It showed that her love was not a one-sided sacrifice.

Only by going to seek her out and inquiring about her affairs could Ding Huan have obtained this big-mouthed pot.

The big-mouthed pot had reappeared before her; she simply could not control herself.

Ding Huan reached out and embraced Jia Baihe; he could feel Jia Baihe was like a ball of fire, seeming about to merge into his body.

He could feel Jia Baihe's surging love and irrepressible longing.

Ding Huan lowered his head, and soft, warm lips had already sealed his mouth.

"Ding Huan…" Jia Baihe's murmuring voice came; she was right beside him, yet to Ding Huan it sounded as if from the distant horizon.

Ding Huan lowered his head and whispered a sentence by Jia Baihe's ear.

Jia Baihe's face reddened as if about to drip blood.

So this was love from the bottom of the heart.

"I'll listen to you." Jia Baihe's voice was so faint even she herself could not hear it.

"Let's go, Old Ling is about to arrive; I sent him a message, he will come to the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range." Ding Huan reached out and supported Jia Baihe.

……

Ding Huan took Jia Baihe and left the broken old lair of the Tianmeng Tribe, once again entering the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range.

This time he did not conceal himself at all, openly and aboveboard searching for Dao veins.

In just half a shichen, Ding Huan stopped and began to lay down the Spirit-Binding Grand Array and the Sky-Locking Grand Array.

"Big Brother, I'm afraid laying down the Spirit-Binding Divine Array won't work…"

Jia Baihe knew what had happened last time when Ding Huan drew out a Dao vein.

The Spirit-Binding Grand Array had been blasted open by the Dao vein's primal energy, and the commotion had attracted a pile of Tianmeng Tribe cultivators.

"Just because it didn't work back then doesn't mean it won't work now."

Ding Huan grinned, raised his hand, and called out Yi Jie.

Although the grand array he had laid out before had exceeded the scope of a divine array, it was still some distance from a Dao array.

That was because he had not yet truly understood his own great Dao.

After he proved the Dao of the Creation Realm, he had already comprehended a Dao array belonging to himself.

What he laid out now was a true Dao array; although its grade was not high, its effect was definitely much stronger than the previous grand array.

"Brother Huan, I'm a rank-five Sacred Beast now…" Yi Jie shouted excitedly the moment he came out.

Ding Huan glanced contemptuously at Yi Jie; this guy had experienced the opening-of-heaven aura of his universe world, yet only reached rank-five Sacred Beast, and still had the nerve to squawk.

Jia Baihe had been cultivating outside and was already a Six-Turn Sacred Saint.

"Baihe, this is Yi Jie; this guy has one skill—he can curse people."

Yi Jie's skill should not be limited to cursing people; he also had the innate divine ability of words becoming law.

It was just that Yi Jie had advanced from a Divine Beast to a Sacred Beast, and whether this innate divine ability still remained was hard to say.

If a Sacred Beast's divine ability could only deal with existences whose cultivation was lower than its own, then this divine ability was not much different from being useless.

Jia Baihe looked at the pig before her…

For a long time she could not come back to her senses.

If this were not Ding Huan's beast pet, she would absolutely look down on it.

Yi Jie clearly saw the surprise in Jia Baihe's eyes—this was obviously thinking his looks were just so-so.

Thinking that being with Ding Huan, her status definitely would not be weaker than Seeing Qu Yi jiejie, he absolutely could not offend her:

"Sister Baihe, in the future whoever dares to cause you trouble, I guarantee I'll help you get payback…"

"Uh… alright, thank you…"

Jia Baihe said a sentence with difficulty.

This pig's cultivation was even worse than hers; she had no idea how it would get payback for her.

"Yi Jie, when I'm digging the Dao vein, keep an eye out for me." After Ding Huan finished speaking, he began to draw out the Dao vein.

The reason he had called Yi Jie out, besides letting Jia Baihe get to know him, was also that he wanted to see whether Yi Jie's innate divine ability still had any use here.

Although he had used the Spirit-Binding Dao Array and the Sky-Locking Dao Array to lock down this patch of space,

the eruption of Dao vein primal energy in the Ten Thousand Dao Mountain Range was too strong.

If the distance was too close to here, it could still be detected.

A cyan Dao vein was drawn out by Ding Huan. The rich, pure aura of heaven and earth Dao source made it clear to Ding Huan that the Dao vein here was one tier higher

than the one he had drawn out earlier at the Tianmeng Clan ruins.

As Ding Huan drew out the Dao vein, the bursts of white radiance and rumbling sounds erupting from the Dao vein source were locked down by Ding Huan's Dao array.

Even so, a figure still rushed over.

It must have been too close to here and sensed the eruption of the Dao vein's primal Qi.

What surprised Ding Huan was that the one who came was not a Tianmeng Clan cultivator, but a human-race cultivator.
