"Mudan Friend, I will first look for the Daoist Spring and we will exchange communication information. Once found, I will send you a message." Ding Huan did not disclose his guess to Shen Yi until after he left.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news." Shen Yi chuckled heartily and left swiftly.
"The Xianle Spring of the Xianxia Daoist Sect is much more numerous than those of the Bahe Daoist Sect. Ding Huan deliberately delayed his time, and found two Xianle Springs in ten days."
As for the layout of the profound refinement Daoist formation, Ding Huan completely lost interest.
What's the point of having so many low-grade Daoist artifacts?
Shen Yi is a decent person, worth befriending.
Ten days later, Ding Huan was too lazy to continue dragging his feet, so he sent a message to Shen Yi instead.
Shen Yi rushed to Ding Huan's location as soon as he received the message, and even he was somewhat disbelief as he looked at the Xianling Spring in front of him, which was emitting an intense aura of Daoist spirituality.
"Ding Huan Brother, you found the Xianling Spring in just ten days?"
Ding Huan had taken half a year to a year to find the Xianling Springs before.
In his Xianxia Dan Dao Sect, it only took ten days to find one.
Ding Huan smiled and said, "Your sect has many more Xianling Spring eyes. I found not only one, but two. This is another location. Ding Huan handed the positioning jade to Shen Yi." "Thank you, thank you, thank you," Shen Yi was unable to express his gratitude at first.
How could he believe that his Xianxia Dan Dao Sect has more Xianling Spring eyes? Ha, he wouldn't believe such nonsense.
This shows that finding Xianling Spring eyes for Ding Huan is absolutely not a task that takes half a year to a year; it can be found in just a few days.
Since Ding Huan can find Xianling Spring eyes in just a few days, why did Ding Huan set a time of one year?
Of course, it's to leave time for himself to cultivate.
Ding Huan didn't cultivate at the Xianling Spring of the Xianxia Dan Dao Sect because he regarded him as a friend. But Shen Yi couldn't pretend to be unaware and had to leave one Xianling Spring for Ding Huan to cultivate in.
Furthermore, Ding Huan's ability to find Xianling Spring eyes so quickly indicates that he has a profound understanding of the Daoist principles and the laws of heaven and earth.
In his eyes, Ding Huan's cultivation wouldn't be very high.
With a low cultivation level, yet such a profound understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, how could the future be so straightforward? "Mudan Brother, between friends, there's no need to express gratitude. I actually suggest you don't need to be so elated," Ding Huan slapped Shen Yi and said something that astonished Shen Yi. It took him some time to comprehend: "Ding Huan younger brother, you don't realize the preciousness of the Xianling Spring eyes in the Fourth Immortal Realm. If I were to send the Xianling Qi from our sect's two newly discovered Xianling Spring eyes into the Shengdao Field, our Xianxia Dan Dao Sect would definitely enter the top five hundred in the Fourth Immortal Realm as soon as possible." Ding Huan sighed and said, "Old Shen, I consider you a friend, which is why I'm telling you some sincere words." Shen Yi immediately grew serious and said, "Ding younger brother, in my heart, you are someone with great talent. It is an honor for me that you consider me your friend. Although I don't understand what 'old Shen' means exactly, but it sounds more intimate than 'Mudan.' Ding Huan nodded: 'Alright then, let's get straight to it.'
Shen Yi decided to fetch a set of tables and chairs and sit down next to Ding Huan near the Xianling Spring eyes. He even poured Ding Huan a cup of hot, steaming Xianling tea.
As a Daoist sect, the Xianxia Dan Dao Sect's Xianxia tea is also highly renowned throughout the Fourth Immortal Realm.
Sitting beside the newly discovered Xianling Spring eye and sipping the Xianxia tea is sheer enjoyment. Of course, this is true for Shen Yi.
Ding Huan asked: "Old Shen, when did you step into the Xuanxian realm, and when did your Xuanxian realm fill up? Shen Yi recalled and said: "I entered the Xuanxian realm seven hundred years ago and fulfilled my Xuanxian realm five hundred years ago. It only took me two hundred years to advance from the initial stage of Xuanxian to a filled-up Xuanxian realm. Shen Yi was still proud of it. Ding Huan asked again: "Before, I heard you say you were going to strike for a fourth-level Dan Master. How long have you been striking for it? Shen Yi remembered this more clearly than his cultivation level. He almost didn't hesitate before answering:"
"I was a third-level Dan Master a thousand one hundred and thirty-two years ago, and I've been striving for the fourth-level Dan Master since then," Ding Huan said indifferently, "That means you've spent five hundred years without being able to break through to the Xuanxian realm. Similarly, you've spent over a thousand one hundred years without stepping into the level of a fourth-level Dan Master." Shen Yi sighed, "Maybe my potential in the Dao of Alchemy isn't high enough. These two things could have been connected. If I could become a fourth-level Dan Master, then I could refine the Dazhi pill. With the Dazhi pill, I could advance to the Dazhi Xian realm. Now that I haven't become a fourth-level Dan Master, it's incredibly difficult to obtain a Dazhi pill. Ding Huan chuckled: "Old Shen, I can assure you that even if you had the Dazhi pill, you couldn't advance to the Dazhi Xian realm here." Why?" Shen Yi asked subconsciously.
Ding Huan asked, "I haven't investigated, but just think about it. How many Great Yellow Immortals are there in the Fourth Immortal Realm?" Shen Yi said, "At least thousands of Great Yellow Immortals. I've heard that there are even greater ones..."
At this point, Shen Yi didn't continue, as there didn't seem to be any entity stronger than the Great Yellow Immortal.
He had only heard that the first sect in the Fourth Immortal Realm, the Luo Tian Xian Dao, had a Dàluó Xian (Great Profound Immortal), but that was just hearsay.
Even if he were the leader of a sect, his level wouldn't allow him to meet the president of the Luo Tian Xian Dao, the first sect in the Fourth Immortal Realm.
"Has anyone advanced to the next level in the Fourth Immortal Realm?" Ding Huan asked.
Shen Yi furrowed his brow slightly, beginning to ponder who had advanced in the Fourth Immortal Realm.
Before Shen Yi could respond, Ding Huan once again asked, "Is there a fourth level Dan Master in the Fourth Immortal Realm? How many were promoted to the Dan Master level within the Fourth Immortal Realm?" Shen Yi finally remembered and said, "The patriarch of the Leidao Sect, Le Wu, advanced to the Dazhi Xian level within his sect. As for the Dan Master level, there wasn't one in the Fourth Immortal Realm. I hope to become the first fourth-level Dan Master. Ding Huan asked calmly, "Did anyone witness Le Wu advance to the Dazhi Xian level?"
"That's true." Shen Yi replied frankly. He somewhat understood Ding Huan's meaning: "Ding Huan brother, your point is that it is impossible to advance to the Dazhi Xian level in the Fourth Immortal Realm? Or become a fourth-level Dan Master?" Ding Huan said decisively, "Yes, that's correct. My guess is that it has something to do with the rules of heaven and earth in the Fourth Immortal Realm. But this heaven and earth rule controls so precisely, even Xianling Qi only exists in sects, which is indeed very strange. You should have thought about it too? Why do you need Xianjing crystals from the Fifth Immortal Realm to cultivate a fourth-level Xianling grass? Why can't the Xianling Qi in the Fourth Immortal Realm grow into a fourth-level Xianling grass?" Shen Yi fell silent.
He didn't practice the Great Universe Method, so his response to the Heaven and Earth Rules is slower than Ding Huan's, who is more sensitive.
In fact, Ding Huan had only suspected this before, but after seeing Wu Hong Tian's notebook, he became even more certain that his suspicion was correct. In the Fourth Immortal Realm, it's truly impossible to advance to a higher level.
"Perhaps... you're right," Shen Yi said somewhat dejectedly after a long while.
Suddenly, he felt a bit lost. As the patriarch of a sect, his pursuit as a Daoist naturally involves striving for higher levels of cultivation and seeking more advanced methods of alchemy.
Ding Huan's words mercilessly tore his aspirations into pieces, leaving him momentarily directionless.
Ding Huan said indifferently, "I've found two Xianling Spring eyes for your sect. You'd better not show off at the Shengdao Field. Follow my advice and develop quietly here. We'll deal with the future as it comes."
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Before chatting with you, I was full of enthusiasm. Now, I feel somewhat defeated."
Ding Huan slapped Shen Yi's shoulder: "Old Shen, the Dao of True Understanding can be found anywhere. Perhaps the heaven and earth rules limit you now in the Fourth Immortal Realm, but who can predict what will happen in the future?"
That kind of mindset isn't one for pursuing the Dao.
"Exactly, who can say for sure that there won't be any opportunities here in the future?" Shen Yi took a deep breath and calmed down from his defeated state. Ding Huan smiled and said, "That's right. Let me ask you something. What's the relationship between the fifth and fourth immoral realms?" Shen Yi said, "I only know that the fourth must follow the rules established by the fifth immoral realm for its development, and even its laws were made by the fifth." Ding Huan said, "Then how can people from the fourth immoral realm enter the fifth?"
Shen Yi said, "Generally speaking, only sects ranked in the top ten of the Shengdao Field or individual cultivators ranked in the top ten have a chance to enter the Fifth Immortal Realm." "How far is the Fifth Immortal Realm from the Fourth Immortal Realm? Do you have to leave the Fourth Immortal Realm and travel for a long time?" Ding Huan asked further. Shen Yi shook his head, "That's not it. The Fifth Immortal Realm and the Fourth Immortal Realm are actually both within this realm."
"The Fifth Immortal Realm is also within this planet?" This time, it was Ding Huan who was stunned.
He thought that the heaven and earth rules of the Fifth Immortal Realm were far stronger than those of the Fourth Immortal Realm, so it must be very far away.
He hadn't really expected that it would be in the same place.
Shen Yi said, "Yes. You think that the Fourth Immortal Realm is large? After years of living here, you haven't even visited one ten-thousandth of its area. Without using transportation arrays, flying with mediocre flying magic tools from the Fourth Immortal Realm to the Fifth Immortal Realm would take at least a hundred years."
