Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 464 - 457 Qian Lou Monk

Ding Huan habitually swept the outside area with his Divine Will, puzzled to find that Ji Changsi was actually standing at his door.

"Sect Master Ji?" Ding Huan hastened to open the door.

Ji Changsi's face was all smiles, "Lao Liu, I was worried that you might miss the Combat Talisman competition, and I was about to come and call you. Since you're already here, let's go together."

"Thank you very much, Sect Master Ji," Ding Huan guessed some of the reasons, thinking that Ji Changsi might be worried he wouldn't give his all.

What a joke, the Soul Devouring Ring was very important to him, and with that World Ring, he might have a chance to return to Earth and even go to the Changyi Continent for revenge.

Under the personal escort of the Sect Master, Ding Huan first arrived at the Combat Talisman competition area.

When all five major competition areas were revealed, they formed a fan shape.

Ji Changsi watched Ding Huan enter the competition area, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

The number token Ding Huan drew this time wasn't so friendly – No. 21850, at the twentieth competition stage.

With over twenty thousand numbers, it was obvious he wouldn't have his turn in the first two days.

After taking his number token, Ding Huan returned to the Fighting competition arena, where his third round was about to begin.

After waiting for just half an hour, Ding Huan's Fighting number token started to flicker.

The score displayed on the Fighting number token was twenty, and this time his opponent was No. 1209.

"Fellow Daoist, please," said Ding Huan, finally meeting someone who valued courtesy as he landed on the stage.

This was a young man with a face full of beard, who did not take advantage of Ding Huan's arrival to make a move but instead cupped his fist and said a word of invitation.

Ding Huan certainly had no time for idle chatter, as he was running from one competition to another, and the shorter the time spent on the stage, the better.

Extending his Starry Sky Domain, Ding Huan summoned a Low Grade Immortal Artifact saber this time.

Last time he used a sword, this time he randomly pulled out a saber, too lazy to switch.

Having drawn the saber, Ding Huan simply chopped down with a straightforward slash.

The cultivator obviously did not take Ding Huan seriously, and did not even bring out a Magical Treasure, instead blasting a fist at Ding Huan's saber as his Profound Immortal Domain violently swept out.

In his eyes, cultivators like Ding Huan had no ability to fight back under his Domain.

His specialty was crushing opponents of the same rank with his Domain, and he had rarely failed.

The saber that was slashed would also be locked down under his Domain.

Boom!

The bearded young man looked terrified as his sweeping Domain couldn't even shake the opponent's Domain, and the Immortal Essence Dao Rhythm rapidly dissipated, far from crushing.

A scent of death permeated his heart, and his hands and feet grew cold, realizing he had been overconfident.

Under the lock of Ding Huan's powerful Domain, he even closed his eyes.

However, only feeling a slight chill at his brow, he hurriedly opened his eyes just in time to see Ding Huan's saber halted at the spot of his brow and had not chopped down.

"Do you want another chance?" Ding Huan asked with a smile.

The bearded young man shook his head quickly, "I'm no match for you; I admit defeat."

Though he had been careless just now, even if he hadn't been, under such a powerful Domain as Ding Huan's, he definitely would not have been a match.

He was certain that Ding Huan was more powerful than one of the Twin Prides of the Jiukun Immortal Sect, Zuo Liang. If he were to say this, everyone would surely think he had lost his mind.

He was merely relieved that he had shown some courtesy earlier; otherwise, the other party might have killed him.

News of victory for No. 3211 was announced on the stage, and Ding Huan stepped off the platform but did not leave.

He had some time before the second round of Array Dao and the first round of talismanic competition began, so he had no interest in running back and forth.

Now that he could craft Level Four Immortal Talismans, he should be able to score some points.

...

"It should be here," said a monk with a large string of prayer beads on his chest, having arrived outside the ruins of Thirty-Three Paths.

After searching for five full days, he finally made it here.

He had barely felt the trace of the Great Dao aura; if he arrived a couple of hours later, he might have lost the trail and would no longer sense it.

The monk, as if he had been here before, made his way to the Servant's Peak directly after reaching the Thirty-Three Paths.

At the Servant's Peak, he closed his eyes and sniffed madly with his nose.

After a while, he licked a handful of soil then frowned.

Seemingly after some thought, he conjured a Zen staff and struck the ground with force.

The Dao Vein here was drained by Ding Huan, and the natural Prohibition had lost its spirit. The monk only attacked twice before the view opened up.

Jumping into the pit excitedly, he grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it carefully.

"Indeed, it transcends the rules of this realm, good stuff, really good stuff..."

The monk mumbled to himself, incessantly grabbing handfuls of soil, tasting and sniffing them like a madman.

After a long while, he finally calmed down.

The thing had been taken, and the person left at most a few days ago. If he chased now, he might still be in time.

The monk carefully observed the outskirts of Servant's Peak for half a day, and if he had hair, he would have been tearing it out.

In half a day's time, he had not found any spatial fluctuations caused by the passing of any Flying Treasures.

With his level of cultivation and sensitivity to the Space Law, it wasn't just the past five days, even in the past ten days, if there had been any trace of a Flying Treasure passing by, he would have detected it.

Not to mention the traces of a Flying Treasure passing by, even if someone had simply walked past this location, he would have sensed the spatial fluctuations.

The monk rushed again to the outskirts of the Thirty-Three Paths, meticulously searched the surrounding space once more, but still found no spatial fluctuations caused by any Flying Treasure.

That's not right; leaving this place, whether by foot or using a Flying Treasure, one must leave behind spatial fluctuations.

Even using a Teleportation Talisman would produce a teleportation fluctuation that couldn't disappear in just a few days.

Could it be that the opponent's Magical Treasure also transcended the rules of this realm of Heaven and Earth? Only treasures that surpass the rules of this realm wouldn't leave any trace in such a low-rule space.

The monk pondered more and grew even more certain, his face even flushing with the realization.

It must certainly be a Magical Treasure that transcended the spatial rules of this realm; otherwise, how could that item containing the Taoist Aura within the Thirty-Three Paths have been taken?

If the opponent really did escape using such a Flying Treasure, he could only watch helplessly because he surely couldn't catch them.

But the monk thought, to reach the Thirty-Three Paths, the level of cultivation of any cultivator must not be too high.

Since their level of cultivation could not be too high, they wouldn't dare to travel continuously using a top-tier Flying Treasure for fear of being detected.

So, there was only one choice, and that was to depart using a Teleportation Array.

To use a Teleportation Array, the closest one would be in White Bamboo Immortal City...

White Bamboo Immortal City?

The Immortal Sect ranking contest these few days? Could it be that the opponent went directly to Half Still Immortal City?

"Even if you flee to hell, once you meet me, Qian Lou, you will have to hand over the item," the monk's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he decided to head to Half Still Immortal City to search.

Ding Huan could only say that this fellow got lucky by pure chance, stumbling upon the right guess.

Had he not participated in the Immortal Sect ranking contest, he would have taken the iron pot to the Chaos Zone or some other place long ago, and he certainly wouldn't have gone to Bai Zhu Immortal City to use the Teleportation Array.

...

Standing outside the No. 2 competition platform and watching others fight, Ding Huan's eyes slightly twitched as his Divine Will landed on the Monitoring Array Patterns on his finger ring.

When he left the Thirty-Three Paths, he had set up a bunch of Monitoring Array Patterns.

However, these Array Patterns were all placed separately, and the positions were quite far away from both the location where the Dao Vein was and where the bamboo house was.

For such Void Array Patterns, not only would someone like Qian Lou who didn't understand them find it hard to discover them, but even those who were proficient in Void Array Patterns would not find it easy to find them.

Ding Huan had set up these Monitoring Array Patterns because he was worried that the matter concerning the Dao Vein would be discovered.

Several days had passed, and he thought the matter of the Dao Vein should be safe by now.

Unexpectedly, today a fat monk arrived; just like a dog's nose, after finding nothing in the Thirty-Three Paths, he actually decided to come to Half Still Immortal City.

As long as the man gave it some thought, he who took first place in Array Dao was definitely a key target for attention.

After all, the Dao Vein was locked by a natural Prohibition, and someone with a lesser level in Array Dao simply couldn't open it.

Thinking about this, Ding Huan's Divine Will immediately swept out, and he quickly saw Ji Changsi.

Ji Changsi was in a very good mood; Ding Huan had already passed three rounds in the fighting contest area, and Yan Sha had also passed the second round of the fight. Not only that, but two in the Artifact Dao had passed the first round as well.

As long as things continued this way, the Da Fan Immortal Sect would definitely receive a very high score this time. They might not reach the Seven-star Immortal Sect, but challenging for a Six-star Immortal Sect ranking was possible.

"Sect Master," Ding Huan approached Ji Changsi.

If he had not called out, Ji Changsi would still be lost in his fantasy of ascending to the Six-star and Seven-star Immortal Sects.

"Lao Liu, why are you here?" Seeing Ding Huan, Ji Changsi was overjoyed, even standing up from his seat.

For a Sect Master to be so cautious and polite in front of an Outer Disciple, this was probably a first for Ding Huan.

"Sect Master, may I have a word in private?" Ding Huan spoke softly.

"Of course, let's go," Ji Changsi said, treating Ding Huan with utmost importance; how could he refuse any request?

"Sect Master, I would like to ask if you have an entry command or an Array Token to enter the Immortal Court?" asked Ding Huan.

Ji Changsi did not understand Ding Huan's intention and immediately nodded:

"Yes, are you going to the Immortal Court? As long as you can win the first place in the fighting contests, you will be given an Array Token that grants entry to the Immortal Court at any time."

Ding Huan said, "I need it now; it's for a friend who needs to go to the Immortal Court, while I must stay here to continue competing."

Ji Changsi became somewhat troubled.

Ding Huan fell silent. If Ji Changsi wasn't even willing to help with this, then he would leave and decide later.

The Soul Devouring Ring and the Immortal Spirit Vein were indeed very important, but escaping with his life was even more so.

He alone wasn't too concerned; the main issue was that Rong Xiyu was a bit too weak, a burden if she stayed with him, so he had to ensure Rong Xiyu's departure first.

As long as Rong Xiyu left, even if the fat monk came looking, he had ways to deal with it.

After a while, Ji Changsi finally said, "I am the Sect Master of a Five-star Immortal Sect, and I have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Court once a year and can take three people along.

However, the Immortal Sect ranking contest is at a critical juncture, and I can't leave."

Ding Huan looked at Ji Changsi speechlessly: "Sect Master, it should be me who can't leave, correct? Since the Immortal Sect ranking contest began, you've been just a spectator; I'm the one who's putting in the effort."

(Goodnight, fellow Daoists. I ask for your monthly votes!)
