Chapter 924

Chang Feiyang shivered; he knew exactly what Ding Huan meant by his words.

It meant that if he didn't speak, he would endure horrific torment.

"Ten days from now, they will come here again." Chang Feiyang knew there was no way out—he only hoped Ding Huan would not sever his path of reincarnation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ding Huan struck with a Qi hand, crushing Chang Feiyang's physical body and Primordial Spirit into fragments.

"Let's go. We'll discuss this inside the sect."

From the moment Ding Huan returned to Blue Star Divine Land until he finished these deeds.

He hadn't even stepped through the sect's main gate.

The news of Ding Huan's return to Blue Star Divine Land spread across the entire land the instant he unleashed his Qi handprint.

Yet Ding Huan had sealed off all information leaving Blue Star Divine Land, and ordered Ni Ni Chongtian to forbid anyone from exiting the land for ten days.

Ding Huan feared that Zhu Xingchan and Ku Xinren would dare not come if they learned he had returned.

Even if he intended to leave, he must first eliminate the threats to Blue Star Divine Land.

The group entered the sect; Ku Ya instructed Chu Tianhua and Luo Huan'er to arrange accommodations for Guan Huan and Qiao Qianhe.

She followed Ding Huan and Jia Baihe to Ding Huan's cave dwelling.

After Ding Huan left Blue Star Academy, only Seeing Qu Yi had lived there.

After Qu Yi departed, the cave dwelling remained untouched.

As the founding patriarch of Blue Star Academy, Ding Huan's residence could never be disturbed by anyone.

Ku Ya told Ding Huan about the state of Blue Star Divine Land and Blue Star Academy over the years.

In truth, before Chang Feiyang returned, Blue Star Divine Land had developed steadily.

Because the laws of heaven and earth changed almost daily—becoming clearer and clearer, and granting practitioners ever sharper insights during cultivation.

Moreover, Blue Star Divine Land's destiny was long-lasting.

Everyone who worked hard in cultivation saw their progress soar daily.

Thus, Blue Star Divine Land had always been extremely peaceful, with rare combat and even rarer sect conflicts.

Who had time to cause trouble when no one had enough time to cultivate?

Added to this, Blue Star Academy was the foremost sect on Blue Star Divine Land.

Blue Star Academy possessed the cultivation laws left by Ding Huan—binding not only its own cultivators but all sects on the land.

At Blue Star Academy, Ku Ya, a Cultivator of Immortality, stood as guardian.

With these conditions, Blue Star Divine Land had always been exceptionally tranquil.

Until Chang Feiyang returned, then Ku Xinren returned—only then did the land's malevolence grow daily, and the dead multiply.

Now that Ding Huan has destroyed the Feiyang Trading Guild, as long as no external force arrives, Blue Star Divine Land will continue to develop in peace.

From Ku Ya, Ding Huan learned that those who left Blue Star Divine Land with Seeing Qu Yi included Emperor Hou Hen, Zhu Sun, Wen Kezhu, and Wen Jiyue.

When Qu Yi left, Er Gou went with her.

Ding Huan could not help but feel profound emotion.

Though things were not entirely changed and people gone, many old friends were no longer there.

Even Xian Wushang from Liyin Divine Valley had left Blue Star Divine Land.

He did not depart with Qu Yi or the others; no one knew where he had gone.

"Ku Ya, did you switch to the Great Cosmos Art after ascending to the Pretender Sage realm?"

Ding Huan began inquiring about Ku Ya's cultivation technique.

He had left behind his Great Cosmos Art at Blue Star Academy, but anyone who began cultivating it would find it automatically transformed into the Small Cosmos Art.

Ku Ya replied: "Yes. My original technique was weak, so I switched to the Great Cosmos Art. After switching, my strength advanced rapidly.

Without the Great Cosmos Art, I could not have resisted the joint attack of Ku Xinren and Zhu Xingchan."

Ku Ya knew well that the Great Cosmos Art Ding Huan left behind had reached its limit for her.

Ding Huan understood equally well that Ku Ya, having cultivated the Great Cosmos Art, had nowhere left to advance.

Ku Ya differed from Qu Yi; Qu Yi could attain the Creation Dao realm because Qu Yi's original technique was truly powerful.

But Ku Ya cultivated the Great Cosmos Art Ding Huan had left behind—when he left, he himself had not yet attained the Immortal realm; how could he have written a complete Immortal-level Great Cosmos Art?

Even now, his Great Cosmos Art remains incomplete.

That Ku Ya reached the Creation Dao realm through his incomplete Great Cosmos Art proves her talent is top-tier.

Ku Ya's elemental affinity likely underwent advancement.

Otherwise, no matter how gifted her comprehension, she could never have cultivated the Great Cosmos Art to the Creation Dao realm.

No—it should be called the Small Cosmos Art.

"Ku Ya, since you chose my Great Cosmos Art, I will guide you fully. Though your cultivation transformed it into the Small Cosmos Art,

as long as you comprehend the cosmic principles within the technique, your future achievements will not be low."

This was not Ding Huan boasting.

Ding Huan had encountered many powerful cultivators in his travels—so far, his Great Cosmos Art remained peerless at the same level.

"Yes, Master, please guide me." Ku Ya rose, trembling with excitement.

Ding Huan did not withhold anything: "The Great Cosmos Art, simply put, is refining your own Dao cosmos through infinite laws.

The form your cosmic world takes depends entirely on your personal insight. One thing remains unchanged: along the path of cultivation, you must continually comprehend and merge various laws…

You need not refine all laws. You possess a Dark elemental root—you may center on one law, such as the Dark attribute law…"

Ding Huan did not ask Ku Ya to refine a Chaos Law Sea as he had, nor did he tell her she must condense boundless streams of law stars.

He had constructed his own Chaos Law Sea and condensed various attribute law rivers.

That was because the Great Cosmos Art was his own creation, and his Great Cosmos Art was constantly evolving.

Asking Ku Ya to do these things is a bit too much to ask of her.

Ku Ya cannot always be by my side.

Moreover, Ku Ya cultivates the Great Cosmos Art, and will inevitably adjust toward a path that aligns with her own Dao.

Perhaps the cosmic world Ku Ya cultivates will be entirely different from mine.

Yet there are countless Dao paths, and all lead to the same destination.

Ku Ya need not know how my cosmic world is structured, nor do I need to know how my disciple's cosmic world is structured.

Even as master and disciple, these are each other's secrets.

Besides,

In Ding Huan's view, as long as Ku Ya focuses her cultivation on one or several attributes, her combat power will still be extremely strong.

Chang Feiyang is actually quite extraordinary; that Ku Ya can crush him already proves her combat power is not weak.

Ku Ya listened with utmost care, unwilling to miss a single word.

When Ding Huan taught her, he infused each word with the Dao's resonance, so that every utterance allowed Ku Ya to comprehend a cascade of profound Dao truths.

In teaching Ku Ya, Ding Huan held nothing back—he spoke everything he knew.

"Master, I have cultivated a Dao vine; though it bears no fruit, it is covered in bud-like law fruits of many attributes…"

Upon hearing Ku Ya's words, Ding Huan immediately knew her mastery of the Great Cosmos Art was already profound.

Ku Ya's method of cultivating the Dao vine was in fact not much different from my method of the Chaotic Law Sea.

He then imparted his insights and cultivation methods to Ku Ya without reservation.

"Ku Ya, the form your Dao takes in the future is known only to you—do not even tell me."

Ding Huan warned her.

For Ku Ya, that Dao vine was her Dao form.

My Dao form is the Chaotic Law Sea and those Law Rivers.

In the blink of three days, Ku Ya's comprehension of the Dao advanced by leaps and bounds.

She not only perfected her own Dao but also clearly understood its strengths and weaknesses.

"Ku Ya, what I am now teaching you can at most allow you to reach the sixth step of the Dao."

At this stage, cultivating on the Blue Star Divine Continent is most suitable. The celestial rules of the Blue Star Divine Continent align with the Great Cosmos Art; here, your progress will be fastest.

Should you someday wish to ascend to higher levels, you must leave here and find me."

"Where will Master go?" Ku Ya asked immediately.

Ding Huan pulled out a directional orb and handed it to Ku Ya: "This is the location I intend to go to—

I have never been there myself.

That place is called the World of Gods; the directional orb I give you points to the location of the Gods' Isles on the outer rim of the World of Gods…"

"Gods' Isles?" Ku Ya exclaimed in shock.

Ding Huan stared at Ku Ya in surprise—he only learned of the Gods' Isles after leaving this dimensional plane.

Blue Xihe had told him reluctantly; how could Ku Ya possibly know?

Ku Ya nodded: "I know—Qu Yi sister went to the Gods' Isles."

Qu Yi went to the Gods' Isles?

What could Qu Yi, with her meager cultivation, possibly seek at the Gods' Isles?

Besides, how could Qu Yi even reach the Gods' Isles?

Ku Ya explained: "A senior named Qi Manwei came to the Blue Star Divine Continent. That senior and Qu Yi sister took to each other at once.

It was Senior Qi who told Qu Yi about the Gods' Isles, and she said that if one reaches the peak of cultivation and wishes to ascend further, one must go to the Gods' Isles."

"What level is Qi Manwei?" Ding Huan frowned slightly.

He already sensed something ominous.

If Qi Manwei could become friends with Qu Yi, her cultivation must be roughly equal to Qu Yi's.

With such strength, going to the Gods' Isles—is it suicide or suicide?

What of Qu Beige, Blue Xihe, Jing Xizhen…

Aren't all of them stronger than the seventh step of the Dao?

"Qu Yi told me Senior Qi is at the seventh step of the Dao," Ku Ya said.

Ding Huan drew in a sharp breath.

A seventh-step Dao cultivator has come to the Blue Star Divine Continent, this cosmic backwater?

Fortunately, this Senior Qi Manwei has no designs on the Blue Star Divine Continent, nor does she cultivate vile arts like Xuan.

Otherwise, would the Blue Star Divine Continent have vanished long ago?

"Ku Ya, remember my words: work hard here. The celestial rules here are sufficient to carry you to the Creation Realm, and here are some resources for you."

Ding Huan pulled out a ring and handed it to Ku Ya.

Ku Ya hesitated—she had not yet offered her master-apprentice gift, yet she was already receiving her master's belongings?

Ding Huan saw her hesitation and waved his hand: "This ring contains a Dark Dao principle I have condensed—it will greatly aid you.

With this ring, you can attain the Creation Realm in the shortest possible time; otherwise, your cultivation will slow drastically thereafter."

Ku Ya's current cultivation level is the Dao Creation Realm.

She has already exhausted the resources and rules of the Blue Star Divine Continent.

Without cultivation resources, remaining on the Blue Star Divine Continent is truly meaningless.

What Ding Huan gave Ku Ya included not only his cultivation insights, but also some Dao veins and a single Dark Dao principle.

"Yes, Ku Ya will surely not disappoint Master," Ku Ya said, taking the ring and bowing again.

Ding Huan stood up: "I will add a new Great Cosmic Art to the Scripture Library—the very one I just transmitted to you."

Should any disciple ever reach your level and prove morally worthy, you may allow them to continue training in the new Great Cosmic Art."

Otherwise, no matter how superior their talent, they are not qualified to train in my Great Cosmic Art."

"Yes, Ku Ya will remember."

"Good. I will use this time to set up a barrier outside the Blue Star Divine Continent. With the barrier in place, should you ever again encounter Ku Xinren, Zhu Xingchan, or others like them, you can easily crush them."
