Chapter 921: Return to Blue Star Divine Land

Jia Baihe controlled the Cosmic Cauldron to swiftly arrive.

"Brother Ding Huan, this Huan seems to be all talk and no substance…" Guan Huan began, then realized his words sounded off—wasn't he insulting Ding Huan?

Yi Jie seized the opportunity: "Old Guan, you just don't get it. This is because you've met my Master Huan; otherwise, do you think he'd have run?"

Qiao Qianhe also nodded, sincerely believing Yi Jie was right.

He had personally witnessed Ding Huan's strength—slaying Qu Qu Beige was a real, undeniable achievement.

"I think it's just a matter of timing when I struck."

Ding Huan recalled the entire battle with Huan and felt that during their fight, Huan had still been in the midst of cultivation.

His attitude had completely disregarded Ding Huan.

As a result, Ding Huan's ambush succeeded, causing Huan's power to plummet drastically.

Huan used the Great Cosmic Art to assimilate several Star Continents, but this fellow didn't instantly convert them into Dao strength.

Instead, he continued here, recklessly destroying more Star Continents to accumulate further Dao energy.

He shattered Huan's skull with Dahan Yi Dao, causing Huan's Dao resonance to spew uncontrollably. Unable to suppress him with the Tian Nie Vortex, he was forced to flee.

Clearly, after fleeing, Huan hated Ding Huan with a burning fury.

Just as Ding Huan wanted to kill Huan, when Huan regains his strength, the first one he'll want to kill is almost certainly Ding Huan.

But Ding Huan wasn't afraid—he'd easily deal with this bastard once he stepped into the Fifth Step of the Dao.

Judging from how Huan returned to a low-level realm to sever his Dao, he was almost certainly from the Gods' Isle.

"Should we go take a look at this Star Continent?" Guan Huan looked at Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's divine sense was far stronger than theirs.

Even though the Star Continent was protected by a grand array, Ding Huan's divine sense still easily pierced through it, revealing the continent's exact condition.

The cultivators on this Star Continent knew someone was assimilating their world.

Everyone was filled with dread and unease.

Some, in despair, chose self-annihilation.

Others, driven mad, began indiscriminate slaughter.

A being capable of assimilating an entire Star Continent was far beyond their ability to challenge.

Aside from waiting here to die, they had no choice but to vent their emotions.

The strongest cultivator on the Star Continent was a young man at the Creation Dao realm.

Though he was at the Creation Dao realm, his realm was unstable—he had just recently ascended.

This young man gripped his twin-bladed halberd and stood on the empty square, staring at the spot where Huan had previously sat.

From his aura, he clearly wanted to charge forward and fight Huan to the death.

Clearly, he knew full well that fighting Huan meant certain death.

But in this short time, Huan had been severely wounded and driven off by Ding Huan.

The young man also clearly sensed the assimilation aura of their planet vanish instantly, as if someone had abruptly interrupted it.

Previously, Huan's restrictions had blocked his divine sense—he couldn't detect anything.

Now that Huan had been kicked away by Ding Huan, his divine sense could finally see clearly.

In his divine sense, he saw a spaceship, and a man with a long blade slung across his back.

While he was still puzzled, he heard Ding Huan's voice: "Don't worry—the one who was trying to assimilate your planet has been driven off by me."

He won't dare return here for at least a hundred thousand years. What happens later, I can't guarantee.

Remember, his name is Huan. If you ever gain the strength, you can seek revenge on him.

As Ding Huan spoke, he directly tossed an image crystal to the young man, then stepped onto the Cosmic Cauldron: "We can go now."

He dropped the image crystal because he sensed the young man's Dao was highly unusual.

Perhaps one day, he could break out of this realm and reach a higher level.

If so, he could then seek out Huan and take revenge.

After the Cosmic Cauldron vanished, the young man finally understood what had happened.

Someone had been assimilating their Qing Star, when a spaceship passed by.

The spaceship's owner saw someone assimilating Qing Star, intervened out of righteous indignation, and drove off the one assimilating the planet.

In other words, the man who gave him the crystal had saved their entire Star Continent.

The young man immediately bowed deeply to the ground: "Thank you, Elder, for saving us. Nan Xi and all of Qing Star will never forget this debt."

He didn't know if the tens of billions on Qing Star would remember forever—but Nan Xi himself would never forget such a great favor.

After expressing his gratitude, Nan Xi turned his gaze to the crystal in his hand.

The image crystal recorded a short man sitting outside Qing Star, clearly assimilating it.

Nan Xi clenched his fists and silently swore.

One day, he would tear that short man into a thousand pieces.

…

Ding Huan still possessed the Primordial Heaven Artifact—the Rule Disc.

The Rule Disc could not only clearly locate places with more complete and higher-level cosmic rules, but also find any desired rule realm.

But with Ding Huan's current strength, he had no need for the Rule Disc.

After the Cosmic Cauldron passed through several cosmic vortices, Ding Huan could already sense the general direction of Blue Star Divine Land.

Blue Star Divine Land had grown precisely because he had constructed it.

Ding Huan was far too familiar with the cosmic rules of Blue Star Divine Land.

Three months later, the Cosmic Cauldron halted outside Blue Star Divine Land.

Ding Huan exhaled in relief; the Blue Star Divine Land was intact and unharmed.

Moreover, the celestial and terrestrial rules of the Blue Star Divine Land were far more refined than when he had left.

The Blue Star Divine Land had been restored by him; he not only used the Cosmic Membrane, but also completed the repair of the fractured rules through his Great Cosmic Art.

As time passed, the celestial and terrestrial rules of the Blue Star Divine Land gradually became more refined.

Moreover, due to his Great Cosmic Art, not only had the rules become refined, but their rank was also steadily rising.

Ding Huan did not know whether this enhancement of the rules was related to his own cultivation advancement.

These celestial and terrestrial rules were absolutely sufficient to certify one into the Saint Realm of Creation.

Once Huan discovered this place, he would undoubtedly assimilate it.

"Brother Ding Huan, the celestial and terrestrial rules of this star-land are extremely refined, and seem to be continuously improving," Guan Huan said in astonishment, looking at Ding Huan.

The celestial and terrestrial rules of this place were undoubtedly those of a low-level realm.

Logically, it should be impossible to achieve Eternal Life Realm here.

Yet he distinctly felt that the Blue Star Divine Land could achieve the Eternal Life Realm.

"Yes, it should now be possible to achieve the Eternal Life Realm; the refinement of the celestial and terrestrial rules has not disappointed me," Ding Huan said, guiding the Cosmic Cauldron to land on the void plaza surrounding the Blue Star Divine Land.

Upon arriving here, Ding Huan sensed that the protective array had been reconfigured.

He was very satisfied.

When he had left, his cultivation was still low.

Thus, the protective array he had set up was not of high caliber.

After taking Seeing Qu Yi away this time, he decided to envelop the Blue Star Divine Land with a barrier.

As long as he enveloped the Blue Star Divine Land with a barrier, even someone like Huan attempting to assimilate it would be detected by him immediately.

As soon as the Cosmic Cauldron stopped, two Merger Spirit cultivators and one First-Transformation Saint rushed over.

Ding Huan's expression darkened.

While on the Blue Star Divine Land, he had established cultivation laws strictly forbidding random combat.

Just now, his divine sense had scanned the Blue Star Divine Land and seen traces of combat everywhere.

Although not as severe as the Small Heaven Ruins, if this continued, it would eventually become the second Small Heaven Ruins.

The Small Heaven Ruins had been beaten nearly into ruins; Ding Huan had no interest in caring about how the Small Heaven Ruins had changed.

Combat on the Blue Star Divine Land was unacceptable.

The Blue Star Divine Land had been restored by him; his Blue Star Academy was here, and moreover, all his friends lived here.

In the future, if anyone in a low-level realm ascended, they would very likely come to the Blue Star Divine Land.

Ding Huan regarded the Blue Star Divine Land almost as his own backyard; how could he let anyone freely fight here?

"Who are you?" The Saint-to-be cultivator, upon arriving, locked his divine sense onto Ding Huan's Cosmic Cauldron and Ding Huan's group.

But upon seeing Ding Huan step out of the Cosmic Cauldron, the Saint-to-be immediately beamed and bowed deeply: "Ni Chongtian bows before the Star Lord."

Ding Huan had anticipated the title "Star Lord."

For on this void plaza stood his statue.

Beneath the statue was an inscription: Ding Huan, Star Lord of the Blue Star Divine Land.

With great perseverance, great wisdom, and great divine power, he restored the Blue Star Divine Land and brought blessings to its hundreds of millions of cultivators.

He was the creator of the Blue Star Divine Land and the founder of the Blue Star Academy.

Not only on the Blue Star Divine Land's void plaza, but also outside the Blue Star Academy stood his statue.

Ding Huan nodded: "Ni Chongtian, I know you. Where is your father, Ni Cangxing?"

Ni Cangxing had once been the Lord of the Jie River in the Dao Court; after Ding Huan restored the Blue Star Divine Land, Ni Cangxing brought his son Ni Chongtian and traveled here, joining the Blue Star Academy.

As Ding Huan spoke, his divine sense had already reached the Blue Star Academy.

He did not see Seeing Qu Yi.

At the location of the Blue Star Academy's Sect Master, Ku Ya was cultivating.

Ku Ya was in the Creation Realm, and seemed to be severely injured.

Soon, Ding Huan's divine sense located Ni Cangxing—he too was severely injured.

"My father was injured while accompanying the Sect Master in battling Zhen Lun's master, Zhu Xingchan, and Ku Xinren; they were not unscathed either," Ni Chongtian quickly replied.

Worried Ding Huan might forget who Zhen Lun was, Ni Chongtian added: "Zhen Lun was the former Lord of the Jin Guang Sea."

But this Zhu Xingchan was unheard of in the Dao Court—he must have just returned.

Ding Huan confirmed that the Sect Master was not Seeing Qu Yi; he immediately asked: "Where is Sect Master Seeing Qu Yi?"

"Sect Master Seeing Qu Yi was the first supreme cultivator in the Blue Star Divine Land to achieve the Eternal Life Realm; after her certification, she remained in seclusion within the sect."

Later, a very powerful being arrived on the Blue Star Divine Land, called Qi Manwei; she and the Sect Master took to each other instantly and discussed the Dao for years."

The Sect Master decided to leave the Blue Star Divine Land with her; those who left together included Elder Ji Luo, Elder Leng Qingdie…"

Before leaving, the Sect Master passed on her position to Sect Master Ku Ya.

Several years ago, an old ancestor claiming to be Sect Master Ku Ya arrived here; he called himself Ku Xinren. He made many demands of Sect Master Ku Ya, all of which she refused.

Ku Xinren flew into a rage and attacked Sect Master Ku Ya—but he was no match for her and was severely wounded, fleeing in retreat.

After Ku Xinren left, he invited Zhu Xingchan to join him; they sought to seize the Blue Star Divine Land and control this star-land.

Sect Master Ku Ya was injured in that battle; my father and dozens of elders of the Blue Star Academy were all injured in that battle—but we finally drove them away.
