Chapter 944: Turns Out They

"Brother Geng Yuan, I also have a Dao vein, but it's far inferior to yours. I'm puzzled—since my Dao vein is so low-quality, why do the people of Wangshen City crave it so desperately?"

After seeing the low-grade Dao vein Geng Yuan produced, Ding Huan felt nothing but the bitterness of fate's inequality and the worthlessness of his own hard-won Dao vein.

Geng Yuan shook his head: "No, your Dao vein was likely formed in a place where cosmic rules are weak, and even its Dao primordial energy carries mottled Dao rhythms."

"But any place capable of condensing a Dao vein is no ordinary place. These Dao veins can be purified—in the chaotic fringes of the Divine Worlds, there are dedicated regions of Dao vein essence."

"Any Dao vein with mottled Dao rhythms or impure Dao primordial energy, if placed there and left for a sufficient time under Dao rhythm baptism, will become as refined as the one in my hand."

"Of course, this time is measured in ten thousand years—taking a hundred thousand years to evolve a high-grade superior Dao vein isn't even unusual."

Ding Huan suddenly understood.

No wonder Li Yue didn't disdain her own Dao vein.

She knew full well she could never obtain a pure Dao vein from the Divine Worlds—Wangshen City took hers precisely to send it to the chaotic fringes for purification.

But I don't have that much time to purify my Dao vein.

Once I enter the Divine Worlds, I'll see if I can find buyers to offload all the Dao veins I have.

"Big Brother Ding, are you planning to sneak into the Divine Worlds?"

Geng Yuan wasn't a fool—Ding Huan had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Dao beads and Dao pillars of the Great Dao Plate; he was clearly preparing to sneak into the Divine Worlds next.

Ding Huan didn't hide it: "I do intend to enter the Divine Worlds. I certainly don't want to be sent off to purge my own violent qi."

"Do all external cultivators who reach the Divine Worlds get sent to purify chaotic violent qi?"

Ding Huan had decided to enter the Divine Worlds after hearing multiple reports of Dao beads and Dao pillars appearing there—his goal was naturally to gather his own Great Dao Plate.

"Not at first. Initially, over eighty percent of external cultivators entering the Divine Worlds were dumped into places to purify chaotic violent qi."

"Later, various factions, seeking their own development, needed exceptionally gifted, true Dao cultivators to join them."

"Once these Dao cultivators matured, their strength surpassed even the native Dao experts of the Divine Worlds."

"So many outstanding self-cultivated Dao practitioners were taken in by various factions, strengthening their own ranks."

"Now, I hear only sixty percent of incoming cultivators are sent to purify chaotic violent qi—the rest have joined various Dao sects."

"One thing is certain: those who sever their Dao and re-attain enlightenment before entering the Divine Worlds? Ninety-nine percent of them are dumped into places to purify chaotic violent qi."

"Big Brother, your Dao must be extremely pure—certainly a top-tier Dao. If you enter the Divine Worlds, you'll very likely be recruited by major powers."

Ding Huan already had his own plan—he didn't care whether he was recruited or not.

But he had to enter the Divine Worlds.

"Draw me the faces of Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wujie."

In Ding Huan's mind, these two didn't even respect the Divine Palace of the Divine Worlds—kill when needed, decisive and ruthless.

They were definitely worth allying with, so he needed to learn more about them first.

Geng Yuan clearly held Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wujie in deep reverence and remembered them vividly.

When Ding Huan asked, he casually sketched their faces in the void.

Their likenesses.

Guan Huan, upon seeing Geng Yuan's drawings, immediately showed a shocked expression.

"Old Guan, what's wrong?"

Seeing Guan Huan's expression, Ding Huan knew Guan Huan had likely met these two before.

Guan Huan clicked his tongue twice before saying: "You're truly impressive, Brother Ding. I said you might not believe me, but I really do know Lan Xiaobu."

Qiao Qianhe and Geng Yuan both stared at Guan Huan in astonishment.

Guan Huan knew a powerhouse like this?

Who were Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wujie? They slaughtered the Holy Ones of Liyan and Wuque as easily as cutting melons and chopping vegetables.

Not only that—they nearly killed the True Principle Holy One.

Only the combined efforts of three Cosmic Lords managed to severely wound them.

In other words, Lan Xiaobu and Mo Wujie were beings capable of touching the level of Cosmic Lords.

They were likely only one step away from true Dao Seventh Step.

Guan Huan's cultivation was only at the Creation Realm—how did he know them?

"When I first saw Lan Xiaobu, honestly, his cultivation was utterly negligible."

"But he did know the Great Destruction Art—I once teamed up with him, using his Great Destruction Art, to break free from a place that trapped us."

"I never imagined he'd grow to this level. Compared to Brother Xiaobu, I've spent these years living like a dog."

Guan Huan sighed deeply.

His early cultivation progressed slowly; after reaching peak completion of his mortal Dao, his later advancement became relatively swift.

He never imagined that even with his own rapid progress, Lan Xiaobu's advancement still left him a hundred leagues behind.

Otherwise, he would've recognized Lan Xiaobu's name the moment he heard it.

After all, in the vast cosmos, there were far too many people named Lan Xiaobu.

Ding Huan patted Guan Huan on the shoulder: "Old Guan, you should realize you're already among the apex beings in the vast cosmos."

"After all, there aren't many cultivators like Lan Xiaobu."

"But since you know Lan Xiaobu, when the time comes, let's see if we can find him—we'll join forces and take down those arrogant bastards in the Divine Worlds."

"I know Brother Xiaobu's character well—he's a man of absolute integrity. If you're going to the Divine Worlds, please find out where Xiaobu and Mo Wujie are."

"If I can help, I'll risk my life without hesitation."

Guan Huan's tone was firm.

Ding Huan nodded: "Don't worry—even if you didn't say anything, I'd move to save people like them. I just don't know what Dao they cultivate."

"If they're going to sever their Dao again, they'll likely sneak into the Divine Worlds."

Ding Huan judged by himself—if he were to sever and re-attain his Dao, he'd never return to the place of his original enlightenment like Jing Xizhen or Lan Xihuo.

Can the gods' world not sever the Dao?

Only by severing the Dao in the gods' world is it truly suitable.

"Blue Xiaobu cultivates the Dao he personally comprehended—it counts as a supreme personal Dao. That Mo Wujie is probably an acquaintance of mine as well."

Upon hearing Guan Huan's words, even Ding Huan was slightly surprised.

This guy's network is truly vast—how does he know everyone?

Guan Huan waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand—I've never met Mo Wujie, but do you know Bai Yue?"

Ding Huan nodded: "I know him."

This guy was saved by him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mo Wujie is very likely Bai Yue's senior brother, and he also cultivates the Mortal Dao."

I've seen many Mortal Daos—myself, the Seed Emperor, and that meteor all cultivate the Mortal Dao."

But I always feel ours are only imitations of the Mortal Dao; Mo Wujie's is the true Cosmic Mortal Dao."

My Mortal Dao has advanced so greatly largely because of Bai Yue, and Bai Yue benefited from his senior brother Mo Wujie."

If it's him, then it's no surprise that someone who hasn't comprehended Dao Words and become a Sage of Utterance could easily kill a Wuque Sage."

? ￠O

Ding Huan was overjoyed.

As long as everyone knows each other, it's easier—forming an alliance becomes much simpler.

"This is Blue Xiaobu's communication bead. I don't know if it still works now. I sent him messages, but he never replied."

"Ding Huan brother, when you enter the gods' world, take this communication bead. Use my Dao resonance to activate it. If you find Brother Blue, help him if you can."

Guan Huan even handed Ding Huan the communication bead, adding his own Dao resonance.

This was absolute trust in Ding Huan.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to handing his own secrets into Ding Huan's hands.

"Fine. Once I find the barrier, you all first try to become Sages of Utterance—I'll go to the gods' world…"

"Big brother, becoming a Sage of Utterance isn't easy—even in the gods' world, achieving it requires a True Principle Sage to impart the Dao."

Moreover, the Gods' Isle isn't suitable for becoming a Sage of Utterance."

Geng Yuan quickly interjected.

If a Sage of Utterance could be achieved outside the gods' world, he would have long sought a place to attain it.

Ding Huan chuckled: "Geng Yuan, the reason you say this is because"

you don't understand what a Sage of Utterance truly is."

A Sage of Utterance establishes his own Dao words. To establish one's own Dao words, one must comprehend the fundamental origin of one's personal Dao."

Under normal circumstances, even in the gods' world, those with mediocre talent find it difficult to comprehend the fundamental origin of their personal Dao."

If we truly find a void isle never entered by any life, that void isle must hold the most primordial cosmic laws."

Such a place is best suited for comprehending the fundamental origin of one's personal Dao."

Combined with my own insights on becoming a Sage of Utterance, don't you think we could achieve it?"

The void isle Ding Huan described requires one condition: it must be a void isle at the edge of the gods' world."

Only here do the cosmic rules approach the essence of the Dao most closely."

After all, they all originated from the primordial chaos at the universe's center—only later sealed off by various barriers."

"That might actually be possible," Geng Yuan murmured, stunned.

Although he never took cultivation seriously,

he was still the heir of Wuque Sage, frequently receiving teachings on Dao from his parents. Through constant exposure, his understanding of Dao's essence was far clearer than Qiao Qianhe and others.

Learning there was a chance to become a Sage of Utterance, Geng Yuan's mindset subtly shifted.

He even began thinking about how to sever his Dao and restart cultivation.

"Big brother, if you enter the gods' world and join a sect, join the Zhenwu Holy Dao."

"Why? Is it a major power?"

"No. Zhenwu Holy Dao lies not far from Tingdao Mountain—my consort, Xiang Yuanfei, is a disciple there."

"You have a consort in the gods' world?" Ding Huan was genuinely surprised.

Geng Yuan smiled bitterly: "Originally, after I achieved Creation Dao, we planned to travel and seek the opportunity for Sage of Utterance. But before that chance arrived, Tingdao Mountain was targeted by others."

"So you're worried about Xiang Yuanfei and want me to look out for her?"

"Yes."

"Then I absolutely cannot join Zhenwu Holy Dao."

Ding Huan thought of what he planned to do in the gods' world—if he joined Zhenwu Holy Dao, wouldn't he be dooming it?
