Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 289 - 284 Jiuyuan

The woman in the mid-stage of the Earth Immortal Realm thought of how Chong Jie had also been ambushed and injured, so she hurriedly made her escape.

By the time she realized that those were just Blast Talismans arranged by Ding Huan, she knew she had been duped.

"Wei Enforcer, have they escaped?" a sharp voice came.

The woman turned around to see four Earth Immortal powerhouses from Jiuyuan had already landed beside her.

At that moment, she even began to suspect that Ding Huan and Fu Qijian had not fled because they were afraid of her, but because they feared these four Jiuyuan Earth Immortal protectors.

But how could that be possible? The powerhouses from Jiuyuan had come, and she had not noticed them, so how could Ding Huan possibly know?

Chong Jie also caught up at this moment, severely injured and moving slowly.

The woman did not continue the pursuit but instead looked towards the location of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield and said:

"We can’t catch up. I was just tricked by them for a moment, allowing them to escape. Now they must have entered the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, and even if we pursued, it would be in vain."

"Such crafty vermin," Chong Jie said bitterly.

"You guys go to Jiuyuan City first. We will go to Two Realms City to investigate," the sharp voice spoke again, and the four quickly fled, soon disappearing from view.

"Enforcer Wei, when did Yan Protector and the others arrive?" Chong Jie asked softly.

The woman shook her head: "I don’t know, and we don’t need to concern ourselves with these matters. Let’s just go to Jiuyuan City to inquire about the situation, and then record everything here in detail to take back without missing a word."

The woman did not display much anger, only speaking indifferently.

Yet, in her heart, she developed a trace of wariness towards Ding Huan, suspecting that it was that less advanced cultivator who had suggested they escape first.

...

Ding Huan stopped the Aurora Shuttle. Without using his Divine Will, he already knew that the woman from Jiuyuan had not caught up.

In fact, even if she had pursued, she wouldn’t have been able to reach him.

He stopped because arriving here he had calculated it was very safe.

Upon reaching the location where they would enter the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, Ding Huan began to deploy Array Flags while asking:

"What exactly is Jiuyuan?"

Fu Qijian shook his head:

"Jiuyuan is not a sect, but a planet called Jiuyuan Star."

Ding Huan was even more astonished. A planet could actually send people to the most important city in the Triple Heaven Star Land, Jiuyuan City, to become the City Lord?

And the name Jiuyuan City seemed obviously related to Jiuyuan Star.

Fu Qijian explained:

"The Triple Heaven Star Land is actually not safe, because it is vast, and many places are directly connected to the cosmic void.

Places like Hidden Sword Mountain, with cosmic vortices, are not singular in the Triple Heaven Star Land. The downside of this is that it’s easy to attract the coveting of neighboring planets.

Around the periphery of the Triple Heaven Star Land, there are many Barbaric Beast Planets, Demon Beast Planets, and Insect Stars. A long time ago, Triple Heaven Star Land was invaded by countless Demon Insects from Insect Star.

That invasion was extremely perilous. All cultivators of Triple Heaven Star Land united under the leadership of Luo Bei, the foremost person in Triple Heaven Star Land, to repel the endless Demon Insects and safeguard the land.

People from Jiuyuan came to the Triple Heaven Star Land around that time, under the premise of assisting neighboring brother planets, and they changed the biggest city in the Star Land Ascension Realm, first called ’Great Dao City’, into Jiuyuan City..."

At this point, Fu Qijian sneered:

"Back then, many short-sighted individuals in the Ascension Realm believed Jiuyuan had come to aid Triple Heaven, and so their demands were fully accommodated.

Do you know the first thing Jiuyuan did after arriving in the Triple Heaven Star Land?

They wiped out the number one sect at the time, Great Communication Palace, and also drained the only Half-Immortal Vein of Triple Heaven Star Land, taking the Immortal Artifact, the Datong Hammer."

Ding Huan asked in surprise:

"I heard that the Great Communication Palace was destroyed because of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield."

Fu Qijian scoffed:

"Such absurd reasons only deceive those ignorant of the truth. Back in the Ascension Realm, with Great Communication Palace leading, it was virtually impossible for such ridiculous things to occur.

For instance, Changyan Academy destroying the Mandarin Duck Towers, or us destroying Changyan Academy and so on."

Once Great Communication Palace was destroyed, the Ascension Realm became a place of chaos, each fighting for themselves, and the number of strong individuals decreased.

Before, in the Ascension Realm, there were no less than a thousand Earth Immortal powerhouses, if not two hundred.

Now, the openly known Earth Immortal powerhouses in the whole Triple Heaven Star Land wouldn’t exceed ten. Where did they all go? If not killed, then they fled."

"Why would they flee?" Ding Huan was even more puzzled.

Fu Qijian explained:

"Because Jiuyuan does not need many strong individuals emerging from the Triple Heaven Star Land. Too many such individuals would weaken their control over the land.

So why, after reaching the later stages of Earth Immortal, would those powerhouses rush to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield? It’s actually to avoid the powerhouses of Jiuyuan.

My master told me that Jiuyuan wants to control the Triple Heaven Star Land, but why they want control, even my master doesn’t understand.

Aside from destroying Great Communication Palace, the leader sect of Triple Heaven Star Land, they have not meddled with other sects.

Moreover, every so often, they recruit talents above the Void God Realm in Jiuyuan City and take these disciples to Jiuyuan Star for cultivation."

"So it is," Ding Huan silently nodded in understanding.

He also realized why insects from those planets and powerhouses from Jiuyuan could come to Triple Heaven Star Land—it was because Triple Heaven Star Land lacked a Protecting Array.

A planet without a Protecting Array is like a house without a front door; anyone can come in and take things.

"Let’s go; we can enter the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield now," said Ding Huan, having already set up the Monitoring Array.

"Has someone come over?" Fu Qijian asked as he looked into the distance.

Ding Huan smiled and said, "An unimportant person, she’s got a lot of things to deal with. We better enter the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield soon, or else we’ll waste a bunch of time."

Ding Huan had already seen who was coming, the clueless woman from the Sky Saber Sect, Luo Hua the Immortal.

Doesn’t this woman know there’s bad blood between us? How come I see her everywhere?

The moment Luo Hua the Immortal arrived at the outskirts of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, she saw Ding Huan and Fu Qijian entering the battlefield at a leisurely pace.

"Sect Master Ding…" Luo Hua the Immortal called out loudly, but Ding Huan could no longer hear her voice.

"There’s a chilly and solemn air here; how come there are so many treasures, even an Earth Fire Vein?"

Upon entering the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, Fu Qijian couldn’t help but ask.

Ding Huan shook his head and said, "I don’t know the origin of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, but there truly are many Spirit Veins here."

"Where should we go?" Fu Qijian asked.

Ding Huan replied, "I feel our strength is insufficient. I must advance further, and you must step into the Earth Immortal Realm."

It was only after encountering two Earth Immortals from Jiuyuan that Ding Huan felt more strongly about this.

The cultivation of Jiuyuan’s two Earth Immortals could only be deemed mediocre at best within the Earth Immortal Realm. By pushing themselves to the limit, he and Fu Qijian might only be able to manage two such individuals.

Should greater danger arise, they could only flee.

If he could step into the Star Domain Realm, and Fu Qijian into the Earth Immortal Realm, even facing late Earth Immortals would become manageable for the two of them.

"I have Spirit Veins on me; should we pick a place and go into seclusion for cultivation?" Fu Qijian was thrilled to hear Ding Huan wanted to cultivate for a while.

His progress was extremely slow when cultivating alone, but it would speed up significantly when cultivating with Ding Huan.

Ding Huan waved his hand and said, "No need, I know of a good place. Let me set up some imprints, and then we’ll head to that place to cultivate."

Ding Huan was referring to the location of the one hundred and eight Spirit Veins.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t gather one hundred and eight Spirit Veins, but the arrangement of these veins required great precision.

At least until now, Ding Huan had not understood how these Spirit Veins should be positioned.

A day later, Ding Huan set up a few Dao Rhythm Imprints at the entrance of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, and also inserted a piece of Emerald Crystal of the Sea Depths marked with his own imprint, before taking Fu Qijian toward Spirit Origin Valley.

With no Qi Cultivators to hold them back, the soul soldiers along the way posed no threat to Ding Huan and Fu Qijian.

After just six days, Ding Huan and Fu Qijian stood outside Spirit Origin Valley.

"There’s nothing special here?" Fu Qijian asked, puzzled.

Ding Huan frowned and then said, "Something’s not right; it’s as if something has happened here."

After saying that, Ding Huan stepped into Spirit Origin Valley first.

"So many high-quality Spirit Veins?" Fu Qijian followed Ding Huan into Spirit Origin Valley.

From the outside, nothing could be seen, but as they entered the heart of the Concealing Array, they could clearly sense the Spiritual Energy of Spirit Origin Valley and the one hundred and eight high-quality Spirit Veins.

Seeing the deserted Spirit Origin Valley, Ding Huan was even more certain something had occurred here.

Half an hour later, Ding Huan picked up a dead insect.

The insect was the size of a fist, with not only a sharp mouthpiece but also razor-sharp claws.

"I’ve seen records of this kind of bug; I think it’s called the Space Devouring Worm, and it’s very powerful. Even a Level 9 Array could be easily bitten through by these bugs," said Fu Qijian, looking at the bug in Ding Huan’s hands with a solemn expression.

Ding Huan looked up at the one hundred and eight high-quality Spirit Veins, swept the valley once more with his Divine Will, and then said, "Previously, there were hundreds of people cultivating here, and now there’s no one; I reckon the fate of these people isn’t good. And this bug, it’s highly likely it has escaped from within the seal."

"This is a Sealing?" Fu Qijian looked up at the one hundred and eight suspended high-quality Spirit Veins.

Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, this is not only a seal but also a top-level seal. When I left last time, it seems a powerful individual came here and attacked these one hundred and eight veins. Although he couldn’t take these Spirit Veins away, it seems he tore some Array foundations. These foundations can repair themselves, and I worry that these bugs came here through the seal before it was restored."

Ding Huan quickly made a decision: "Qijian, let’s cultivate here for a while. When we leave, I’ll conceal and seal this place up, so it won’t be seen by others."

"Alright," Fu Qijian nodded.

He understood what Ding Huan meant; if this place was frequently attacked by powerhouses, even a self-repairing seal would eventually be shattered.

Their cultivation was not an issue; the big Spirit Origin Array set by the one hundred and eight high-quality Spirit Veins was almost entirely fused with this space.

The Spiritual Energy they absorbed would soon be replenished.
