Chapter 998

Most of the teleportation arrays in Tianyuan Dao City were built outside the city.

Teleporting from Qianyu God City meant being teleported directly to the teleportation array cluster outside Tianyuan Dao City.

As soon as Ding Huan stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw the imposing Tianyuan Dao City before him.

Not to mention anything else, just the concentration of divine spiritual energy here was far stronger than in Qianyu God City.

As for the Dalun Market, it simply couldn't be compared.

And this was still just outside Tianyuan Dao City.

The level of prosperity in Tianyuan Dao City was also far beyond what Qianyu God City could compare to.

Although the coming and going cultivators didn't appear crowded, they filled the wide main road.

Not only that, but there were also more Sages here; Ding Huan saw seven or eight Nine-Turn Sages.

There was also one person Ding Huan suspected was an Eternal Sage; the aura on the other party was simply too vast, and Ding Huan didn't dare to observe with his divine sense.

Ding Huan's gaze soon stopped at the city tower of Tianyuan Dao City; a cultivator was actually nailed to the city tower of Tianyuan Dao City.

He swept his divine sense over it casually and knew that this cultivator was still alive.

The person was of medium build, with messy long hair, and the bloodstains on his body had long since dried into black.

Perhaps because he had been hanging on the city tower for a long time, the whole person was very gaunt.

What surprised Ding Huan the most was that this seemed to be a mortal; there didn't seem to be any Great Dao rhyme fluctuations around his body.

He looked far too ordinary.

But how could this be?

A mortal, nailed to the city gate of a Dao City?

Ding Huan was very curious in his heart; he observed this man carefully with his divine sense.

Sure enough, Ding Huan detected the Dao rhyme aura on this man; this was not a mortal.

It was just that the cultivation technique he practiced seemed like that of a mortal, without the ethereal aura of a Daoist, nor the sharp edge of a Daoist.

In fact, Ding Huan had a very good impression of this kind of Daoist.

Without a mortal heart, it was impossible to cultivate this kind of mortal Dao.

In the eyes of most Daoists, mortals are ants, and their lives are the cheapest of the cheap; it is impossible for them to have a mortal heart.

Having a good impression of those who practice the mortal Dao is because his Great Universe Technique has some commonalities with the mortal Dao.

His Great Universe Technique fuses the billions of laws of heaven and earth, and when cultivated to the extreme, no matter where he goes, he is in harmony with everything around him.

This person being able to cultivate the mortal Dao to this extent was truly remarkable.

From the slight Dao rhyme fluctuations of the other party, Ding Huan could determine that this was an Eternal realm powerhouse!

With his sensitivity to the laws of heaven and earth, he couldn't be wrong.

An Eternal realm powerhouse who practiced the mortal Dao was actually nailed outside the city gate of a Dao City; this surprised Ding Huan a bit.

"This person's name has one character the same as yours; he is called Guan Huan. When I came here a thousand years ago, he was already nailed here."

Seeing Ding Huan looking at the man nailed outside the Dao City, Zai Na took the initiative to introduce him to Ding Huan.

"Why is he nailed here?" Ding Huan was somewhat surprised.

Zai Na shook his head: "I don't know about that, and I haven't asked."

Just as Ding Huan was about to ask someone else, his divine sense caught a tall, thin man coming out of the teleportation array cluster at the edge.

The formidable aura was nothing, but the "Qu" character on this guy's clothing corner made Ding Huan's heart tighten; he quickened his pace and rushed into Tianyuan Dao City.

Seeing Ding Huan quicken his pace, how could Zai Na not know that something

was wrong? He didn't dare to delay in the slightest and followed Ding Huan into Tianyuan Dao City.

Ding Huan didn't dare to use his divine sense; when he entered Tianyuan Dao City, he glanced back and found that the tall, thin man had already been greeted by two Sages.

Because there were people greeting him, the tall, thin man from the Qu clan didn't notice Ding Huan and Zai Na who had just entered the city for the time being.

"Daoist Ding, is it the Qu family who has come?" When Zai Na transmitted his voice, his voice was trembling.

Ding Huan nodded: "That's right, it should be an Eternal Sage from the Qu family."

Knowing it was an Eternal Sage from the Qu family, Ding Huan wasn't too concerned.

Unless the Qu family dared to show off their power in Tianyuan Dao City and directly tear open a cave dwelling to take someone, otherwise, he would be safe in Tianyuan Dao City.

Besides, even if Tianyuan Dao City allowed the Qu family to tear open a cave dwelling to capture him, he believed he could still escape.

This was also his confidence in daring to come to Tianyuan Dao City.

He would not entrust his safety to the Dalun Dao Court, which he was not familiar with.

"Let's hurry to the Dalun Chamber of Commerce to rent a cave dwelling." Zai Na said urgently.

Seeing Ding Huan cast a suspicious look, Zai Na hurriedly explained:

"The Dalun Chamber of Commerce is completely different from that Dalun Market of mine.

That market of mine is only near Dalun Mountain, which is why it's called the Dalun Market.

The Dalun Chamber of Commerce is the official chamber of commerce of the Dalun Dao Court; their influence spans the entire Small Sky Ruins, and they are one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the Small Sky Ruins.

The Dalun Chamber of Commerce has Creation Sages; even the Qu clan Dao Court wouldn't dare to do anything to the Dalun Chamber of Commerce.

What's more, the cave dwellings of the Dalun Chamber of Commerce are protected by the Dalun Dao Court. As long as we move in, we will be safe."

"Then what are we waiting for? Lead the way." Ding Huan only wanted to step into the Eternal Sage realm as soon as possible.

If this Qu clan Dao Court continued to be like maggots on a tarsal bone, he wouldn't mind using the Great Gene Slaughter Technique to wipe out the entire Qu clan.

Now his strength was limited; even if he used the Great Gene Slaughter Technique, he couldn't take out existences with a higher realm than his.

Zai Na led Ding Huan through several bustling streets and arrived in front of an array gate.

There were people guarding the array gate, and the words "Dalun Chamber of Commerce Cave Dwelling Rental" were written on it.

"This Daoist, we want to rent a cave dwelling here." Zai Na accompanied with a smile.

In front of these two cultivators who were only in the God King realm, Zai Na's tone was also extremely respectful.

While speaking, he also took out two storage rings and handed them over.

Ding Huan swept his divine sense over them; in the two storage rings Zai Na handed over, each contained 100,000 high-grade divine crystals.

Ding Huan thought to himself, Zai Na is very generous; a casual tip is 100,000 high-grade divine crystals.

"Go in." The two God King guards didn't say much; after accepting Zai Na's rings, they waved their hands, letting Ding Huan and Zai Na enter.

Once inside the cave dwelling area, Zai Na took the initiative to say to Ding Huan:

"Giving them divine crystals is the entrance fee to get in here. If you don't end up renting a cave dwelling, these divine crystals are non-refundable."

So it wasn't a tip, but an entrance fee.

"Then what is the cost of renting a cave dwelling here?"

The entrance fee alone was 100,000 high-grade divine crystals; Ding Huan had to be concerned about the cost of renting a cave dwelling.

"Renting a cave dwelling here doesn't accept divine crystals; they accept high-grade divine spiritual veins and top-grade divine spiritual veins. Besides that, you have to perform tasks for the Dalun Chamber of Commerce.

The specific price depends on the quality of the cave dwelling and the difficulty of the tasks chosen."

Hearing Zai Na's words, Ding Huan was very shocked: "That outrageous?"

Zai Na chuckled: "That's not outrageous. Do you think the people who cultivate here are all just trying to sponge off the divine spiritual energy here?

Most of the people who come here are just like us."

The rest of the words didn't need to be said by Zai Na; Ding Huan understood.

That is, those who come here to rent cave dwellings are mostly escaping pursuit.

An hour later, both Ding Huan and Zai Na had rented cave dwellings.

Ding Huan also knew that the price of the cave dwellings here was not mainly about the location and divine spiritual energy, but about the difficulty of the tasks chosen by the renter.

Ding Huan and Zai Na both chose medium-to-high difficulty tasks, and the cave dwellings rented were at the price of one high-grade divine spiritual vein per year.

As for the duration, both chose a rental period of one thousand years.

Ding Huan chose to pay once every hundred years.

Zai Na chose to pay for the full thousand years at once.

Ding Huan planned to set up an array that would automatically transmit the divine spiritual vein once the rental expired.

In case he left early, the divine spiritual veins paid here would not be refunded.

The reason he didn't choose a better cave dwelling.

Was because renting a cave dwelling here, divine spiritual energy really wasn't important.

It wasn't that the divine spiritual energy here wasn't rich, but that you could implant your own divine spiritual veins here.

No matter how many divine spiritual veins you implant in your own cave dwelling, it's up to you.

As for the tasks accepted, you can go to the cave dwelling rental hall to choose tasks to do within the thousand years.

You can also ignore it within the thousand years.

But once the thousand years are up, you must perform the tasks immediately, otherwise you will be hunted down.

Ding Huan suspected that Guan Huan might have been nailed outside the Dao City because his seclusion time was up and he didn't go to perform the tasks.

These were not things Ding Huan could manage.

At this moment, Ding Huan was implanting divine spiritual veins into his cave dwelling.

He was going to be in seclusion here for a long time, so all kinds of Chaos divine spiritual veins, top-grade divine spiritual veins, and top-grade starry sky divine spiritual veins were all implanted by Ding Huan at once.

Setting up spirit-gathering divine arrays was allowed here, and Ding Huan also had to lock in the divine spiritual energy of his cave dwelling.

With his array Dao methods, if he set up a spirit-gathering grand array, he estimated that all the divine spiritual energy in the vicinity would be swept over by him.

Ding Huan didn't intend to take advantage of others, but others shouldn't think about taking advantage of him either.

After setting up the cave dwelling, when Ding Huan operated the Great Universe Technique for the first cycle, he knew that cultivating here was much easier and more convenient than in the cosmic void.

In the vast void, the laws of heaven and earth were all broken, and the laws of all things were also broken.

What he had to do was to comprehend and fuse these broken laws, and then construct his own Great Dao rules through the Great Universe Technique.

The difficulty was secondary to Ding Huan; the main thing was that it consumed time.

And here, the laws of heaven and earth were complete; he didn't even need to spend time comprehending them. Under the Great Universe Technique, he would naturally understand all the laws of heaven and earth.

And then condense his own Law Galaxy.

The prerequisite was having sufficient heaven and earth essence energy.

Ding Huan didn't have much else, but he had plenty of top-grade divine spiritual veins.

Now he was already wrapped in Chaos divine spiritual essence energy, and the whole person was bathed in Chaos divine spiritual essence energy.

Just half a day later, Ding Huan clearly felt his wind, thunder, and ice Law Galaxies rapidly perfecting.

As long as he continued to cultivate in seclusion here, it wouldn't take much time for these three Law Galaxies to be completely perfected.

Standing at the entrance of the Dalun Chamber of Commerce's cave dwelling rental area, Qu He's expression was very gloomy.

With less than half a stick of incense difference, he actually let these two ants rent a cave dwelling in the Dalun Chamber of Commerce's cave dwelling area first.

For a moment, he really wanted to tear open the protective array here and throw Ding Huan and Zai Na down at his feet.

Reason told him he couldn't do that.
