NOVPUBThey reached an agreement and exchanged items.
As soon as Ding Huan got the Great Dao's Three Thousand, he felt a vast Taoist Aura.
He couldn't wait to open the Great Dao's Three Thousand and examine it closely.
However, Ding Huan knew that the most important thing for him now was to quickly return to Earth.
"Everyone is satisfied with this transaction. Now, I need to find a place to refine the Heaven and Earth Scale. Let's part ways for now; we'll retrieve our respective items in the future."
Ji Luo was also extremely happy, greeted Ding Huan, and turned to leave.
Ding Huan didn't mind. He put a prohibition on the Great Dao's Three Thousand and sent it into his ring.
After hesitating for a moment, he felt it was unsafe and sent the Great Dao's Three Thousand into the Cosmic Pot.
Still feeling unsafe, he decided to try sending the Great Dao's Three Thousand into his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.
To Ding Huan's delight, he found that the Great Dao's Three Thousand could indeed be sent into his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.
Not only that, but it could also float in a corner of the Dao Universe, seeming to form its own world.
The Great Dao artifact that opens and splits the heavens is indeed extraordinary.
Alright, now he was relieved.
Ding Huan took a breath, preparing to locate Earth, when he suddenly saw Ji Luo returning.
"Lao Ji, what do you want?" Ding Huan didn't react at first.
After asking this question, he realized.
Apparently, after he sent the Great Dao's Three Thousand into the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, the other party couldn't sense it anymore.
This old guy had indeed kept a hand. It seems he thought the mark he left on the Great Dao's Three Thousand could allow him to retrieve it at any time.
Hehe, sorry.
The Heaven and Earth Scale he took out isn't even refined, why should he let the Great Dao's Three Thousand be retrieved at any time?
Ji Luo chuckled dryly a few times: "Ah Huan, I think if we suddenly split up after exchanging items, it would be troublesome if we can't find each other in the future."
"So?" Ding Huan asked knowingly.
Ji Luo's expression brightened: "So I think we should stay together, sharing joys and hardships. You can also consult me at any time for things you don't understand.
Whenever you no longer need the Great Dao's Three Thousand, you can return it to me."
Ding Huan knew the last sentence was what Ji Luo really wanted to say.
Ding Huan furrowed his brows slightly, without saying anything.
"Rest assured, staying together will only benefit you, no harm." Ji Luo worried that Ding Huan wouldn't want to stay with him.
Just now he couldn't sense the Great Dao's Three Thousand, causing him to panic.
The Great Dao's Three Thousand must not be lost.
He agreed to this transaction because he had full confidence in always being able to call back his Great Dao's Three Thousand.
If that possibility was gone, he would rather not make the deal.
Ji Luo is an old hand in the universe. He knew his current strength wasn't as good as Ding Huan's.
The Great Dao's Three Thousand is already in Ding Huan's hands. Even if he doesn't make the deal now, he can't make Ding Huan hand over the Great Dao's Three Thousand.
So Ji Luo wasn't going to mention taking back the transaction.
He began to suspect Ding Huan might have a Chaos World somewhere on him, otherwise, how could the Great Dao's Three Thousand be shielded?
"Lao Ji, I'm returning to a lower realm this time to find someone for a fight. With you by my side, I'm afraid it might implicate you." Ding Huan felt a bit troubled.
Ji Luo patted his ephemeral chest: "We've exchanged the best treasures, what's there to fear? Your business is my business.
You know, in the vast Universe, the most precious thing isn't the Great Dao or magical treasures, but true friends." 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
Ji Luo inwardly found it funny; a low-level planet could have someone who can fight Ding Huan?
"Thanks to you, old brother Ji. The enemy I need to deal with might be a residual soul of a Chaos Demon God, hiding on a low-level planet to frame me multiple times. I'm determined not to let him go this time."
Ding Huan was genuinely pleased, thanking sincerely.
Hearing "old brother Ji," Ji Luo felt something amiss.
Since meeting this kid, he had no sense of respect for the elder, no manners. Now suddenly calling him old brother, it felt suspicious.
Upon hearing about the Chaos Demon God, Ji Luo felt completely uneasy.
Seeing Ji Luo silent, Ding Huan asked in confusion: "Old brother Ji, what's wrong?"
"Ah Huan, listen to old brother Ji, this Chaos Demon God, even a trace of residual soul, isn't something you and I can counter.
Why don't we find a place to hide and cultivate, then seek out this residual soul once our cultivation improves?"
"No, if you don't want to, forget it. Besides, it's not truly a Chaos Demon God, but someone from the same era.
Just a trace of residual soul, if you fear this, I really don't know how you cultivated until now." Ding Huan's tone flipped quickly.
Ji Luo gritted his teeth: "Fine, but if there's danger, I want to escape first."
"Rest assured, with our friendship, I wouldn't harm you. Besides, I also treasure my own life." Ding Huan spoke generously.
Ji Luo scoffed inwardly; we have no such friendship.
Soon Ding Huan found the next weak point in the boundary. This time, he didn't even use the Reincarnation Spear, just reaching out with his hand.
The boundary was easily torn open by Ding Huan, revealing a void crack.
"You seem to know the weak points of this realm's boundary?" Ji Luo looked at Ding Huan suspiciously.
If unaware of the weak points, even between Daoist Realms and Mortal Realms, it wouldn't be so easy to tear open.
Ding Huan smiled: "Consider it a talent, self-sensed."
Ji Luo didn't inquire further, but inwardly thought, this kid has ten lies in every nine sentences.
Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot charged through the torn boundary, into the starry sky where spiritual energy was so thin it could hardly be sensed. Ding Huan knew he had arrived at the true Mortal Realm.
Ding Huan communicated with the Reincarnation Spear with his Divine Will, starting to locate Earth's position.
"Your spear is good, but it's missing something, hence the slow advancement, still a low-grade Immortal Artifact." Ji Luo commented, looking at the Reincarnation Spear in Ding Huan's hand.
Ding Huan felt Earth's location, and the Cosmic Pot accelerated towards it at top speed.
He asked aloud: "Old brother Ji, what does my spear lack?"
"Abyss Nirvana Gold." Ji Luo said casually.
Ding Huan memorized the name: "Do you know where to find it?"
"I don't know that." Ji Luo chuckled.
Ding Huan was sure he knew but didn't want to reveal it.
The Cosmic Pot accelerated to its maximum, but they were still too far from Earth, unable to reach it immediately.
Ji Luo did not speak further, focusing solely on refining his Heaven and Earth Scale.
A month later, Ding Huan stopped the Cosmic Pot.
Ji Luo had completely refined the Heaven and Earth Scale.
The Heaven and Earth Scale originally lacked something, but Ji Luo's strong Divine Will and profound understanding of various prohibitions and Great Dao Rules allowed him to completely refine the Heaven and Earth Scale in less than a month.
As for what he obtained from the Heaven and Earth Scale, Ji Luo didn't say a word.
"A very ordinary life planet, with thin spiritual energy. You come from such a small place?"
With his Divine Will scanning Earth, Ji Luo looked at Ding Huan in surprise.
Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot, speaking calmly: "If I told you this is the origin of a Taoist civilization in the Universe, you wouldn't believe it even more."
Ji Luo laughed, not taking Ding Huan's words seriously.
This place, where spiritual energy is so thin it's nearly non-existent, dares claim to be an origin of Taoist civilization?
Ding Huan plunged through the atmosphere, landing directly at the foot of Qianluo Mountain.
His Divine Will scanned around Qianluo Mountain, finding not only many fierce beasts but also some demon beasts.
The highest-level demon beast was already equivalent to a level-one peak.
What surprised Ding Huan was he didn't see the Great Wilderness Golden Ape.
His Divine Will scanned Heluo City, finding it intact, indicating that humans on Earth could still suppress fierce and demon beasts.
At the entrance of Yujiang University, Ding Huan saw his own statue.
As for Geng Qianxing, naturally he wasn't there.
"Kid, not bad, you have statues in several places." Ji Luo's voice sounded beside Ding Huan.
To outsiders, it seemed the voice came from the floating scale beside Ding Huan, which looked a bit comical.
Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned Yiling City's Xiu Lake District, which seemed to have been renovated long ago; there was no sign of Qu Yi.
Ding Huan didn't continue to scan randomly; his Divine Will landed behind Heluo Shangwu University.
It appeared the instructions he had given back then weren't in vain; the Ancient Cypress was now surrounded by layers of reinforced concrete walls.
Inside, weeds grew everywhere.
The Ancient Cypress was still thriving, and Ding Huan's Divine Will dared not touch it, sensing a vague danger.
"Ah Huan, the Ancient Cypress you mentioned should be that one, seems suspicious."
Ji Luo, being well-informed, naturally didn't miss the Ancient Cypress when scanning the surroundings.
Ding Huan nodded: "Yes, the Ancient Cypress definitely contains a trace of Divine Soul. My sole purpose here is to eliminate the existence within the Ancient Cypress."
Ji Luo slowly said: "Though I didn't penetrate it with Divine Will, I can vaguely sense it's not a simple existence.
Perhaps the opposing Divine Soul is confined and can't leave the Ancient Cypress, but if we approach, it's uncertain we can deal with it. If not careful, we could even suffer a setback."
"Old brother Ji, do you have any good suggestions?" Ding Huan knew Ji Luo's words weren't alarmist; Ji Luo had lived long enough to have his own reasoning.
"First, set up the Heavenly Net Formation to lock that space, second, arrange the Soul Lock Divine Array to constrain the opposing Divine Soul..."
"Old brother, what is this Divine Array? Can I set up the top-grade Immortal Array instead?" Ding Huan quickly interjected.
Ji Luo scornfully said: "Immortal Array is nothing, even a trace of Demon God residual soul isn't something an Immortal Array can lock. Must use the Divine Array, and it has to be the Soul Lock Divine Array..."
Ding Huan was dumbfounded; he didn't know how to set up a Divine Array.
