Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 455 - 448: Hiding for a Thousand Years
Ding Huan immediately waved out dozens of Array Flags, and a concealed space appeared before her eyes.
It was a sixth-level Immortal Array Plate, masking a certain space; indeed, there was a person within.
This was a female cultivator.
When Ding Huan looked at her, the woman also gazed back at Ding Huan.
Their eyes met, fear and unease evident in her eyes since she clearly hadn't expected anyone to discover her hiding place.
Ding Huan apologetically said, "I'm sorry, I was planning to cultivate in seclusion here for a while, but I didn't realize this place was already occupied. I'll leave immediately."
"You won't kill me?" The woman couldn't believe what she was seeing as she asked Ding Huan.
Given that there were at least ten thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals around her, and Ding Huan had seen these crystals, how could she not take action?
Ding Huan was momentarily stunned. What did she mean?
"Why would I kill you? I'm not a massacre maniac," Ding Huan said, exasperated.
Having said that, Ding Huan suddenly froze; looking at the woman before him, he had already begun to form some guesses.
The woman's physical body was clearly reconstructed; practicing the Great Universe Technique, he could see at a glance.
Moreover, the woman was diligently trying to recover her strength. Although there were over ten thousand Immortal Crystals around her, Ding Huan guessed that this might be all she had.
She dared not arrange the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array, and even her cultivation was done cautiously.
This led to her cultivation level stagnating for a long time, trying to increase her strength through the accumulation of Immortal Crystals. If she had had more, she would have definitely used them all.
But cultivation is the pursuit of the Tao; such caution and constant fear, he estimated, would leave her with little progress even in a thousand years.
"If you like this place, I'll leave it to you. I will go right away..." Despite Ding Huan's assurance not to kill her, the terror in the woman's eyes did not diminish in the least.
Ding Huan smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Rong, if I'm not mistaken, you must be Rong Xiyu, right?"
Rong Xiyu, Sect Master Shi Li of the Thirty-Three Paths' Taoist couple, and possessing an Immortal Jade Dao Body.
Rumors outside claimed that the Sect Master Shi Li of the Thirty-Three Paths had been secretly harmed by his disciple, Fu Yuxing, who also raped and killed Rong Xiyu.
In fact, Ding Huan knew that Shi Li had possessed Fu Yuxing, then raped his own Taoist couple Rong Xiyu, ultimately killing her and the entire Thirty-Three Paths.
Hearing Ding Huan mention her name, Rong Xiyu's face turned as white as paper.
She knew she was done for. Knowing she was Rong Xiyu, he surely wouldn't let her go, because she was an Immortal Jade Dao Body.
From a young age, she knew that once her Immortal Jade Dao Body was exposed, she would inevitably become someone else's Furnace Tripod.
Seeing the immense fear in Rong Xiyu, Ding Huan had to say:
"Don't worry, I have no interest in you, but I must warn you. That Shi Li isn't dead, and once he recovers, I suspect he'll return to the Thirty-Three Paths first."
What Ding Huan meant by this reminder was, if Rong Xiyu thought this place was safe, she was mistaken.
Here it might be safe for a short time, but not for long.
He wouldn't cultivate here for very long either; if possible, he wanted to advance to Da Yi Immortal.
If not, advancing to Profound Immortal would also be good.
"What..." Hearing this news, Rong Xiyu began to tremble.
Shi Li carried the Heaven and Earth Scale; how could those powerhouses let Shi Li go?
Ding Huan could only shake his head, turning to leave.
Since Rong Xiyu was here, he would find another place to cultivate. He had chosen this place just because he had been here once before.
The Ancient Immortal Domain was vast and boundless, and there were too many places to find for cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist..." Rong Xiyu called out to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan turned back to look at Rong Xiyu, "Are you looking to inquire about Shi Li?"
Rong Xiyu nodded, then shook her head, "How did you know I'm afraid of Shi Li and not Fu Yuxing?"
Ding Huan didn't hide it: "I came from the Billions of Void Swamps..."
Rong Xiyu's eyes widened as she looked at Ding Huan, "You came here from the Billions of Void Swamps?"
To enter the Billions of Void Swamps was a life-and-death situation, not to mention crossing the Billions of Void Swamps to reach the Ancient Immortal Domain, or traversing the deadly Gray Sea.
The Gray Sea, rumored to be certain death, who could make it across?
Ding Huan waved his hand, "Don't overthink it, I used a Space Break Talisman to come here."
He had crossed the Gray Sea using the Big Calculation Technique, but naturally, he wouldn't tell anyone about that.
"He himself couldn't follow the way of people; he tortured me countless times and wanted me to use the Dao Yu Immortal Body to help him dual cultivate so that he could become the Dao Yu Immortal Bone, haha..."
Rong Xiyu's eyes were full of mockery:
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
"He himself didn't have the ability, so he could only take Fu Yuxing as his disciple and earned a large hypocritical reputation in the Ancient Immortal Domain, just because he coveted Fu Yuxing's supreme talent.
But Fu Yuxing was not any less cunning; he too aimed to possess my Dao Yu Immortal Body. He was always plotting against Shi Li…
Eventually, they couldn't contain themselves any longer and acted together, never expecting Shi Li had tampered with the cultivation technique he gave to Fu Yuxing. In the end, he was possessed by Shi Li…"
It might have been thousands of years since she had shared the sadness and suppression with anyone. Today, Rong Xiyu felt much better having spoken out.
Whatever Ding Huan was, whatever he wanted her to do, she accepted it.
Ding Huan too sighed after listening, "I truly didn't expect that Shi Li would let you go."
Rong Xiyu shook her head silently, "Although I despise Shi Li and look down on him, once I became his Daoist couple, I absolutely refused to dual cultivate with Fu Yuxing.
Even after he possessed Fu Yuxing, it wouldn't work, that body disgusted me, Shi Li infuriated, killed me. Had it not been for the Supreme Elder coming over and splitting his spirit, I would have died long ago.
The Supreme Elder came, and I got a slim chance and escaped with my Primordial Spirit.
After hiding for some years, once I confirmed Shi Li was being chased into the Gray Sea, I then used a Double Leaf Immortal Reeds to rebuild my body."
Ding Huan also secretly admired Rong Xiyu after hearing this, managing to get the Double Leaf Immortal Reeds while only in Primordial Spirit state.
Double Leaf Immortal Reeds restoring the body is an existence even higher than the Immortal Quan Flower.
"That Double Leaf Immortal Reeds was left to me by my father; I never thought it would save my life." Speaking of her father, a surge of regret rose in Rong Xiyu's heart.
Her father had always disagreed with her marriage to Shi Li, believing Shi Li's actions did not match his words, a hypocritical gentleman.
Yet she was blinded back then, didn't believe her father's words, and as it turned out, her father's judgment was far sharper.
Ding Huan glanced at the Immortal Crystals beside Rong Xiyu, wanting to tell her that cultivation here was meaningless, one must go to the Chaos Zone.
But then thinking that Rong Xiyu was only in the True Immortal Realm, he promptly kept silent. At that realm, going to the Chaos Zone was like asking for death.
Perhaps seeing Ding Huan's gaze, Rong Xiyu hurriedly said, "You can take all these Immortal Crystals."
Ding Huan shook his head, "I really don't care for these few Immortal Crystals, I just want to tell you, without the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array here, even if you cultivate for tens of thousands of years, you can't recover your strength.
Even being a Dao Yu Immortal Body won't work."
Rong Xiyu froze, her expression became melancholy, and she didn't speak.
Ding Huan understood, she dared not set up the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array, and so could only hide here and slowly endure.
"Take good care of yourself; I must be going." There was nothing Ding Huan could do to help this woman, so he could only take his leave again.
"Senior Brother, you are an unusual cultivator, and there's something I want to tell you. There's a High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein here, and that's one of the reasons I've stayed…"
Rong Xiyu suddenly spoke.
She had thought it through; since Shi Li hadn't died, he would definitely return.
She couldn't break the seal on this Immortal Spirit Vein at the moment. Forcibly attacking it would surely attract other cultivators.
Rather than leaving this High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein for Shi Li, she'd rather give it to this cultivator she found agreeable, who also brought her the news of Shi Li's survival.
"A High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein here?" Ding Huan immediately stopped moving.
He possessed a Low Grade Immortal Spirit Vein and several tens of millions of High Grade Immortal Crystals, all of which paled in comparison to a High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein.
"Yes, there indeed is a High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein here. It's just sealed, and I can't break the sealing, but you can take it," Rong Xiyu affirmed.
Ding Huan looked at the bamboo house, then said, "I am Ding Huan, Senior Sister Rong. Since there's a High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein here, how about we both cultivate here?"
Ding Huan felt it was reasonable to say so.
He cultivated the Great Universe Technique; as long as he cultivated together with him, the surrounding space's Heaven and Earth Rules would become extremely clear.
Not only that, but he was also qualified to set up the Gathering Spirit Immortal Array.
Therefore, leveraging this High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein, Ding Huan didn't feel he owed Rong Xiyu anything.
Rong Xiyu didn't realize that Ding Huan suggesting they cultivate together effectively meant helping her rapidly increase her cultivation.
Her current strength dare not resist even a bit, and she promptly said, "I'm willing, as long as we're careful, no one will find this place.
You must be careful when taking away the Immortal Spirit Vein, so as not to let the Immortal Spirit Essence Qi dissipate."
"Alright, let me set up the Array first."
Ding Huan immediately began arranging various Protecting Arrays and Concealing Immortal Arrays; first, using Array Flags, then a layer of Void Array Patterns.
He even refurbished the bamboo house a bit into two cultivation rooms.
Especially the Big Array that binds the Immortal Spirit Qi, Ding Huan arranged it meticulously.
Later, when he would release the High Grade Immortal Spirit Vein's sealing, he must restrain the overflow of the Immortal Spirit Qi here.
Seeing that Ding Huan had taken several days to set up various Protecting Arrays, Rong Xiyu let her mind at ease.
It looks like Ding Huan is also a cautious person.
Once the Concealing Immortal Array was activated, the bamboo house was completely concealed by the Immortal Array.
