Ding Huan was also secretly shocked, is this really a planet? If it is a planet, what is the size of this planet?
And since the fourth and fifth spiritual domains are on the same star continent, why are their heavenly rules different?
This reminded Ding Huan of the Triple Heavens Star Continent.
Very similar.
In the Triple Heavens Star Continent, the heavenly rules of the Ascended Realm were obviously higher than those of the Daoist Realm.
Is there any connection?
"Ding Huan brothers, I think you can go to the fifth spiritual domain to seek opportunities. If what you said is true, then the fourth spiritual domain... alas..." As he spoke, Shen Yi sighed heavily.
Ding Huan shook his head, and he had no intention of going to the fifth spiritual domain.
Old Shen, do you know about the Vast Void Swamps?" Ding Huan asked again.
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, Zong Yi's face changed, and he immediately said seriously, "Ding Huan brothers, whatever you may have heard about the Vast Void Swamps, I must tell you one thing - you must not go in."
"Why?" Ding Huan was puzzled.
Shen Yi slowly said, "Once inside the Vast Void Swamps, it's a one-way street to death. Over the years, there have been at least tens of thousands of people who have ventured into the Vast Void Swamps."
And all of them are prodigies with extraordinary talents. However, I have never heard of anyone who has survived after entering the Vast Void Swamps. Generally, they won't have any information coming out after being inside for a few months. Those with soul tokens will definitely have their soul tokens shattered. "But I've heard that only by passing through the Vast Void Swamps can one find a true Daoist realm without restrictions." Ding Huan said. Shen Yi sighed again: "It's just hearsay, but no one has ever proven it."
Shen Yi's persuasion to not enter the Vast Void Swamps was more of a subconscious action. In fact, he had some insight into Ding Huan's character.
It's unlikely to prevent Ding Huan from not going to the Vast Void Swamps.
Since that's the case, it's better to tell Ding Huan how to survive if he goes to the Vast Void Swamps. He said directly, "Ding Huan brothers, in a short time, it will be the time of the Spirit Realm Conference. As the chief of our sect, I can take two people there. You can go with me and take a look. The Spirit Realm Conference will have geniuses from various spirit realms coming over, as well as strongmen from the fifth spiritual domain. You can listen to what they say. They know much more about the Vast Void Swamps than I do. If you want to go inside, you must ask these people." Ding Huan laughed and said, "Good, then I'll go and take a look. But I can't follow you there."
Shen Yi puzzledly said, "As the head of the spirit realm sect, you can attend the conference as a guest elder of the Qianxia Dan Dao sect. Otherwise, you won't be able to get in."
"As long as I mention my name, I believe I can go in 100%," Ding Huan said.
Shen Yi was stunned and then immediately said, "But in this way, won't you be even more dangerous?" Ding Huan said calmly, "The degree of danger for me to go alone or to follow you together is actually the same." Shen Yi understood the meaning behind Ding Huan's words.
Ding Huan, being such a valuable person who can find the spiritual spring, is a target for everyone regardless of who he goes with. In that case, it's better for him to go alone than to be accompanied by someone else.
"Okay, there are still three months until the Spirit Realm Conference. You can spend some time here in cultivation. The location of the conference is still in the first city of the fourth spiritual domain, the Longevity Spiritual City."
Longevity Spiritual City? Ding Huan thought to himself that this name is both common and rustic.
After giving Ding Huan an orientation jade, Shen Yi went to the second spiritual spring eye himself.
Clearly, he hopes Ding Huan can meditate and cultivate here at this spiritual spring.
Ding Huan didn't hesitate either. With three months to go, he decided to cultivate for three months at this spiritual spring.
Compared to cultivating with spirit crystals, it is more convenient to cultivate in the spiritual spring eye area.
The spiritual energy overflowed from the spiritual spring eye is more suitable for absorption.
As soon as Ding Huan began his Greater Cosmic Art, the spiritual energy overflowing from the spiritual spring eye fully subdued him.
With Shen Yi's permission, Ding Huan did not need to make any concealment during his first cultivation.
Under the guidance of the Greater Cosmic Art, Ding Huan's cultivation began to rapidly increase, much faster than in the void.
After two months, Ding Huan stepped into the second layer of Gold Immortal. Without continuing his cultivation, he went to greet Shen Yi.
Upon seeing Ding Huan approach, Shen Yi was very pleased.
In two months, he had completely developed another spiritual spring that Ding Huan had found. Now, although the Qianxia Dan Dao sect dared not say that there was abundant spiritual energy everywhere, at least there was enough spiritual energy for cultivation and planting spiritual herbs. "Brother Ding Huan, I have an idea that can let you attend the spirit realm conference openly without needing to use your name." "What method?"
"Do you know the Sky Practice Platform? The Sky Practice Platform, in addition to the rankings of spirit realms, also has a large screen ranking of cultivators. If you can help Baihe Tian Dao with the layout of an array to kill thieving spiritual insects, it shows that your array arts are still quite good..."
The ranking board that Shen Yi mentioned, Ding Huan had heard of it.
Not only do they have rankings for array, alchemy, talisman, and toolry arts. They even have rankings for planting spiritual herbs, material purification, and refining minerals and so on.
You could say that as long as you have a unique skill in the fourth spiritual domain, you have a chance to be listed.
Ding Huan hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now it suddenly struck him again, as if the fourth spiritual domain placed special emphasis on talent in a particular aspect.
Before Shen Yi could finish speaking, Ding Huan bowed and said, "Thank you, older brother. I know what to do."
Shen Yi laughed and said, "As long as you have the chance to enter the top ten, you can still participate in the Spirit Realm Conference. If it doesn't work, try using your name."
For Ding Huan, regardless of whether he is leaving the fourth spiritual domain, if it's known that his array arts are strong, no one can force him to stay.
Whether or not he plans to go to the Vast Void Swamps, he has no intention of staying in the fourth spiritual domain any longer.
After farewells with Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhendao, Ding Huan arrived at the Sky Practice Platform.
The Sky Practice Platform is very close to the main city hosting the Spirit Realm Conference, the Longevity Spiritual City. Even a lower-grade flight essence artifact can take you there in no more than half an incense time.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on the largest ranking screen.
There is no name of the Xianxia Dan Dao sect on the ranking screen. It seems that Shen Yi listened to his words and did not bring the spirit spring of the sect to this place to increase points.
The top-ranked spirit realm was the Luotian Spiritual Realm, and one glance at the name of this sect seemed to suggest that there were Luotian Immortals within it.
Ding Huan had no interest in the spirit realms of the fourth spiritual domain, so he went straight to the bottom of the array arts ranking screen for the fourth spiritual domain.
This is a ranking of array arts level, and it is relatively simple to enter the rankings.
The participants first inscribed their names and then placed their most proficient array spell on the layout platform below the array screen.
The array arts ranking screen will provide a score based on the level and proficiency of the spell, and then update the rankings.
However, only two opportunities to lay out a spell are allowed each time.
If you can't make it to the list in two attempts, then you'll have to wait ten years and try again.
Ding Huan glanced at the ranking of array masters on the array screen and saw that the top-ranked one was named Wen Zhi, which seemed to be a woman's name.
Ding Huan is a top-level three-grade array master and can lay out an array that is almost identical to a four-grade spell.
However, Ding Huan did not place a three-grade array. He only arranged a relatively simple two-grade array.
Ding Huan was only interested in knowing if a simple two-grade array like this could make it onto the list.
Whether or not he could make it onto the list, Ding Huan was not thinking about making it to the top ten array masters, but rather if he could get into the top one thousand rankings.
To Ding Huan's surprise, he simply placed a relatively simple two-grade array, and his ranking directly moved to seventh.
Looking at the thousands of names on the array arts ranking screen, Ding Huan was speechless.
This ranking is so watery that even a level nine spell array master can make the list.
He had come seventh on the array arts ranking screen in the fourth spiritual domain, so Ding Huan didn't need to continue testing. This rank was enough for him to participate in the Spirit Realm Conference.
Ding Huan chose to end the test, and a jade plate fell.
Pick up the jade plate, which clearly read: "Ding Huan, Seventh in the Array Arts Ranking of the Fourth Spiritual Domain."
Ding Huan thought to himself that if he could now make it into the top ten, then one of the top ten must have been pushed out.
Ding Huan naturally didn't care about who was pushed out. He didn't even bother to change his appearance and entered the Longevity Spiritual City.
Because the Spirit Realm Conference is about to open, the Longevity Spiritual City is also extremely bustling.
Although Ding Huan was remembered by the heads of various spirit realms, in the Longevity Spiritual City, no one really paid attention to him.
With spirit crystals to pave the way, Ding Huan quickly checked into the most luxurious rest hall in the Longevity Spiritual City, the Longevity Hall.
There are still about ten days before the Spirit Realm Conference starts, but Ding Huan has already collected some jade slips and notes about the fourth spiritual domain, fifth spiritual domain, and the Vast Void Swamps.
From these scattered information, Ding Huan gradually gained a rough understanding of the Vast Void Swamps.
The Vast Void Swamps are boundless and span a vast expanse of emptiness.
It's essentially blocking one piece of emptiness.
Once you go inside, you will lose all sense of direction.
Within the Vast Void Swamps, it's not just endless swamps; there are also boundless seas without an end, deserts with no visible edges, and death zones that emit infinite poison miasma.
It could be said that once you enter, there is only one path, and that path is death.
In the fifth spiritual domain, there was once a powerful being who had reached the pinnacle of Luotian Immortals and entered the Vast Void Swamps in search of higher levels of Dao.
On the ninth day after he entered the Vast Void Swamps, his soul tablet shattered.
Even such a terrible Vast Void Swamps cannot stop the relentless stream of cultivators who seek to advance.
Without exception, those who entered the Vast Void Swamps were lost. Those with soul tablets would definitely shatter within a year, and those without would no longer send back any information. Ding Huan sighed silently, realizing that the path to enlightenment is full of hardship. As long as he is on the quest for Dao, he cannot stop his journey. If he were content with what he has achieved, gaining powerful strength on Earth should have been enough for him. However, upon arriving in the Triple Star Land in the heavens, he stood at its pinnacle just as he had done there, yet he still chose to unflinchingly pursue higher levels of Dao. Now, he can refine himself to the peak of both the fourth and fifth spiritual domains; however, that is not his goal. His aim lies further ahead. （Good night to fellow Daoists!
