Ding Huán letting go of Lǎo Liù was not only confusing for Yán Méi and Liǔ Yīnzhū, but it was also confusing for everyone else.
As a matter of logic, it was impossible for Ding Huan to simply let go of Lao Liu, his beast pet, just because he had destroyed the gate of the sect's main hall.
Because in their usual perception, the patriarch's relationship with his beast pet seemed to be far from harmonious.
As a general rule, ordinary cultivators naturally take their beast pets with them wherever they go. Our patriarch seems to rarely take his beast pet out of the sect.
But such things are hard to predict. What if Ding Huan, out of old feelings, decides not to kill Lao Liu?
Ding Huan naturally wouldn't explain this matter, and he couldn't explain it either. It can't be said that we need to start with the legendary divine beings of Blue Star Huaxia.
"Assistant sect master Liu, this time I return with two things. The first is to pass the sect master's position to you..."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Liu Yinzhu was startled and was about to speak when a flying sword pierced through the sect's protective array and landed directly in Liu Yinzhu's hand.
A flying sword that can pass through a sect's protective array must be recognized by the Blue Star Sect. Otherwise, it cannot even enter the sect's protective array.
After Liu Yinzhu activated the flying sword, an urgent voice came through: "Assistant sect master Liu, I am Dān Běishū. If Ding sect master returns, please tell him something."
In our universe interface, there is a multi-universe merchants' association. They are hunting for Master Ding everywhere. Xun Youshan and Ji Xuwen have been killed by them. If they find the Triple Starland, the consequences are unimaginable..."
Liu Yinzhu was stunned. She looked at Ding Huan with a mix of fear and unease.
Ding Huan clenched his fists, wondering how this matter had been leaked out.
If there was no leak, why were Xun Youshan and Ji Xuwén killed?
Thinking of this, Ding Huan immediately shot out a flying sword for communication.
The flying sword for communication carries its own Daoist Rhythm and flight array patterns, so the distance of transmission is further than that of the communication bead.
What caused Ding Huan to furrow his brow was that his flying sword for communication had just burst apart as it left the Blue Star Sect.
The flying sword without Daoist Rhythm fell to the ground.
There are two possible scenarios that could result in this situation. The first is that the distance to be sent is too far for the flying sword to reach. The second is that the recipient has actively blocked all of their Daoist Rhythm traces.
Ding Huan suspected that it was very likely the second scenario. Single Beishu, after sending out the flying sword, dared not contact the Blue Star Sect anymore.
"Assistant sect master Liu, when did Single Beishu and the others go out? How many people went out?" Ding Huan asked seriously.
Liu Yinzhu also knew that this matter was likely to be big. She hurriedly said, "Twelve years ago, the esteemed predecessor Fei Zhǎnkōng has been waiting for you to return."
After waiting for seven or eight years without hearing from you, he gathered with Single Beishu, Xun Youshan, Ji Xuwen, Fu Qijian, Ji Gu and the former seniors Cang Yong, and left the Triple Starland. As to what they did outside, I don't know."
Ding Huan immediately sent out flying swords for communication to Xun Youshan and others. However, none of the flying swords could be sent out.
Ding Huan suddenly stood up: "Sister Yinzhu, from today on, you are the sect's master. You and Yan Méi, and Hú Wúxīn are the deputy masters of the sect. All affairs of the sect should be discussed among you..."
Liu Yinzhu hurriedly said, "Master, I'm not qualified. My strength is limited..."
Ding Huan waved his hand: "A ceremony should be held as required, but I don't have time right now. You can hold the ceremony of your master's appointment. I have to find a place to close myself for a while."
"Yes, Master, rest assured that Yan Méi and I will never disappoint you." Yan Méi immediately understood Ding Huan's intention.
He also knew that Ding Huan was appointing him as the deputy sect master to help Liu Yinzhu correct the mistake.
Liu Yinzhu often lacks a comprehensive understanding of things, and he needs to improve on it. As for Ding Huan himself, he should feel that his strength is too low and be preparing to close himself up to cultivate and improve, and also be preparing to go out to save people.
Ding Huan indeed had such thoughts. Yan Méi, although young, was undoubtedly a guy with ideas. He considered many things very comprehensively.
While he is not in the sect, with Yan Méi there to watch over things, the sect will not face any major issues.
...
Zàng Jiàn Shān, Ding Huan returned here again. Moreover, he also unsealed the universe vortex that he had sealed.
He has to advance here, otherwise he doesn't have the qualifications to fight against the Multi-universe Merchants.
In the past on the nine Yuan Star, just a Lou Xihēi of the Bridges between God and Human beings made him nearly fall, and the Multi-universe Merchants, this giant, if there are no high-level cultivators at the level of Bridges between God and Human beings, he would not believe it.
On the Nine Yuan Star, although Ding Huan did not break through to the Bridges between God and Human beings, he had accumulated a sufficient and profound foundation.
At this time, practicing again, feeling the boundless universe qi from the universe vortex, there was some change in Ding Huan's star bridge in his universe consciousness sea.
The star bridge in Ding Huan's universe consciousness sea is a bridge connecting star systems. After these star bridges materialize, the center is a void of the starry sky.
Now, a variety of Daoist Rhythm energies can be seen in the voids of the starry sky.
Before, Ding Huan did not experience such Daoist Rhythm changes when he closed himself up in the Nine Yuan Star.
Although the cultivators of the Nine Yuan Star were wiped out by Ding Huan and Ji Báilí, in reality, it is a life planet. While practicing on the Nine Yuan Star, Ding Huan had integrated the genetic information of countless beings.
At this time, returning to the universe vortex for training, the void of the starry sky between these star bridges gradually began to accumulate various Daoist Rhythm energies.
With Ding Huan continuously running the Great Cosmic Art of the Heavens, he comprehended various rules within the vast starry sky. These Daoist Rhythm energies gradually formed one after another cosmic array patterns in the starry sky.
The starry array patterns composed a river that was neither visible nor invisible.
Although this river has not yet formed, it has already faintly enclosed all the star systems and star bridges.
In the immense cosmic art-induced colossal qi vortex, Ding Huan knew his next realm.
Star River Realm!
With Ding Huan continuously absorbing earthly and celestial vitality, the Daoist Rhythm in the Star River surged and seemed ready to take shape at any moment.
However, Ding Huan stopped his cultivation.
He felt intuitively that to advance to the Star River Realm, he needed more than just practicing in this cosmic vortex. Only by entering the actual cosmic starry sky for cultivation could his Star River be completely perfected.
Ding Huan sealed this cosmic vortex again and at the same time retrieved the toxic vein that was sealed in the Zàng Jiàn Shān, and sealed it in his iron pot space.
After completing these tasks, Ding Huan controlled the iron pot and shot out of the Triple Starland at high speed.
He had a clear goal: first, to cultivate in the cosmic starry sky and strive to enter the Star River Realm.
Second, to destroy the Multi-universe Merchants.
The Multi-universe Merchants must be destroyed. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy after leaving the Triple Starland.
On the edge of the massive iron pot, Ding Huan had imprinted four supreme spiritual veins, four supreme starry sky spiritual veins.
Ding Huan did not open all of those million-plus rings. Instead, he only opened some of them, resulting in a mountain of spiritual veins and crystals within the iron pot.
Although there were no premium treasures like Xianhuan flower and Jiucai Xianfanyan, there were countless spiritual veins and crystals.
The iron pot was not moving aimlessly. Ding Huan took out the guest pass of the Multi-universe Merchants.
When he bought it, he had heard Jiā Bǐlí saying that this guest pass could later guide the location of the headquarters of the Multi-universe Merchants.
With Ding Huan's array path level, controlling the iron pot to fly to the headquarters of the Multi-universe Merchants through guidance arrays is a piece of cake.
Ding Huan was not in a hurry when the iron pot flew to the headquarters of the Multi-universe Merchants. He was busy perfecting his Star River within his own iron pot.
Compared to all the previous realms, Ding Huan felt that he could only be considered to have entered the preliminary stage of the Great Cosmic Art when he had completed his Star River.
Because to perfect his Star River, he must perfect every single cosmic Daoist rhythm within it.
Main Star, System, Star Bridge...
All of these are made more stable through Daoist Rhythms within the Star River.
The Daoist Rhythms and patterns within the Star River are the integration of all the celestial and terrestrial laws that he has comprehended.
These cosmic laws and patterns not only include the celestial and terrestrial laws he has comprehended during his cultivation, but also the genetic rules he has integrated during his cultivation from all things in the cosmos.
Just one month later, Ding Huan felt that he could attract the Thunderstorm Tribulation through perfecting his Star River.
Once he passes the Thunderstorm Tribulation, he will be at the Star River Realm.
Instead, Ding Huan continued to strengthen his Star River Daoist Rhythms.
He believed that the strength of the Star River might affect his next realm, and this was purely an intuition.
Therefore, he fused all the Daoist rhythms and energies that he had ever perceived or encountered into his Star River.
Moreover, as he practices the Great Cosmic Art through the Law of the Cosmos, as long as there is sufficient spiritual energy, his Great Cosmic Art can absorb all starry Daoist rhythms and rules in the vast universe into his Star River.
Two years, three years...
Ding Huan still wanted to continue expanding and refining his Star River, and several lightning streaks exploded open, followed by arcs of thunderstorms crashing down.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The thunder sounded, and Ding Huan suddenly stood up. He realized that he didn't have a suitable attack artifact for combat.
The first wave of six thunder arcs struck down, and Ding Huan punched out six times in quick succession.
Crack!
Ding Huan's Daoist rhythm collided with the thunder arcs he had struck out, causing sparks of lightning to flare up. Ding Huan could only feel that his hand bones had been blasted.
And the six thunder arcs were shattered by him.
Ding Huan's confidence surged.
This showed that his foundation and accumulation this time were much stronger than the last time.
It seems that he was right not to have chosen to rush into the Star River Realm in just one month.
If he entered the void and felt he could break through to the Star River Realm, he would have to rely on his iron pot to pass the tribulation.
This could indeed allow him to safely pass the thunderstorm tribulation. He would surely benefit more from passing the tribulation with the help of his iron pot than by enduring it on his own now.
The six thunder arc tribulations were easily shattered by Ding Huan, and then three more thunder arc tribulations struck down.
The three thunder arc tribulations were even more massive than the previous six, causing only Ding Huan's arms to break.
Ding Huan activated the Great Cosmic Art, moving in a single rotation. It immediately brought forth the ripple-like fluctuations of the almost complete Star River Daoist Rhythms, and his injuries vanished instantly.
Perhaps because the first two waves of thunderstorms posed no threat to Ding Huan, the third wave directly brought forth eighteen thunder arc tribulations.
When Ding Huan felt that the thunderstorm tribulations in the Star River Realm posed no mortal threat to himself, the fierce thunderstorm arcs were transformed by his Great Cosmic Art into thunder sources and Daoist Rhythms of the Thunder System.
The thunder sources were easily absorbed by Ding Huan, and the thunder Daoist rhythms were rolled into the Star River to fill the starry sky patterns.
The Star River was improving at a visible speed, and even under the impact of endless Daoist rhythms, it emitted a rumbling sound, as if gigantic waves were crashing against the riverbank.
The Star River Thunderstorm Tribulation had not yet been completed when Ding Huan was eager to engage in combat with the strong beings from the Qiandao Realm.
(That's all for today's update. Goodnight, fellow Daoist, please support with your monthly tickets!)
