Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 310 - 305: Boundary Markers and Artifact Spirits

Mo Huaping quickly replied, "Yes."

Then she walked to the Heart Inquiry Platform and said, "Disciple Mo Huaping swears, I truly did not know about Jia Daoyuan’s exploitation during the recruitment of disciples. If there are any lies, may Heavenly Tribulation strike me dead."

The Heart Inquiry Platform did not sound any alarms, which meant Mo Huaping truly did not know about the deeds of Jia Daoyuan.

Liu Yinzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mo Huaping had known that Jia Daoyuan was skimming treasures and exploiting others during the recruitment of disciples, even having taken some benefits for herself,

then she would be unable to protect Mo Huaping.

"Because of the steward appointed by Mo Huaping, who violated the Sect’s general rules during the recruitment of disciples, all of Mo Huaping’s positions are now revoked, and she is expelled from the Sect."

Liu Yinzhu said, expressionless.

"Master..." Mo Huaping panicked.

Liu Yinzhu said indifferently, "Had it not been for the Sect Master’s intervention, you would have already perished on the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield. Yet, you carelessly entrusted the Sect’s most significant affair to someone who undermines the Sect’s foundation, expelling you from the Sect is not unjust."

Mo Huaping looked up at Liu Yinzhu with desolate eyes.

Liu Yinzhu’s heart softened, and she sighed,

"Look at the Sect’s rules. In your case, as long as you adhere to your heart, in ten years, there is still a chance for you to re-apply for the Sect’s disciple recruitment."

"Yes, disciple is leaving..." Mo Huaping also knew, no matter what else she said, it would be futile. She could only choose to leave Blue Star Sect.

If Jia Daoyuan were still alive, she would kill him again, for it was this swine that ruined her path of cultivation.

She had appointed Jia Daoyuan as the steward of disciple recruitment primarily because he was handsome, which gave a very good first impression.

Secondly, Jia Daoyuan came from the Great Sect Desolate God Sect in the Ascension Realm, indicating he had talent and potential.

In both the Taoist Realm and the Ascension Realm, as long as one leaves the original Sect, one can freely join another Sect.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the other Sect does not care and is willing to accept you.

Therefore, although Jia Daoyuan was once a disciple of Desolate God Sect in the Ascension Realm, as long as he left Desolate God Sect, it was possible to join Blue Star Sect.

In Mo Huaping’s mind, disciples from Great Sects in the Ascension Realm were all viewed as excellent, even superior.

This was ingrained in her subconscious, something she simply couldn’t change at will.

Now she realized that it was her own fixed perceptions that had doomed her.

...

Triple Heaven Tao City’s City Lord Mansion.

Images flickered through Ding Huan’s mind. In the deepest part of the Triple Heaven Tao City’s City Lord Mansion, there was a pitch-black stone.

This stone was covered in one Dao Pattern after another, and these patterns continued to multiply...

Reaching this point, no matter how Ding Huan tried to compute further, he could not deduce anything.

Ding Huan opened his bloodshot eyes, feeling an extreme sense of crisis.

What was that pitch-black stone?

What was with the increasing Dao Patterns on the black stone?

Ding Huan decided to go down and check it out.

A stone that even his Divine Will could not penetrate - who could have embedded such a stone there?

Also, those patterns, they were like the Dao Patterns he encountered while refining the iron pot...

Right, the Iron Drum also had similar Dao Patterns.

Ding Huan began refining talismans, specializing in the Earth Jutsu Talisman.

Besides the previous several Level 7 Earth Jutsu talismans, one after another Level 8 Earth Jutsu talisman was refined by Ding Huan.

Ding Huan’s talent in talismanic arts was already notable, and with the abundance of top-tier materials he had acquired from the God clan, his cultivation reached the Star Domain Realm.

This deepened understanding of the Great Dao enhanced his ability to refine talismans.

After more than ten days, Ding Huan felt that if the flames could be increased a bit more, he could even refine Level 9 Earth Jutsu talismans.

However, Ding Huan was not in the mood to continue. The pile of Level 8 Earth Jutsu talismans beside him was enough for him to descend.

Ding Huan did not immediately use the Earth Jutsu talismans but instead relied on the Earth Jutsu Divine Ability.

A day later, Ding Huan felt relieved.

The Star within his Dantian could provide sufficient True Yuan, enough to allow him to use Earth Jutsu for several months continuously.

This was very reassuring for Ding Huan, meaning that even if he ran out of Earth Jutsu talismans, he would not suffocate in the ground.

One talisman after another was activated by Ding Huan, who did not need to use any True Yuan; he could simply travel downward.

More than twenty days later, Ding Huan stopped.

His Divine Will had already detected the black stone, less than a kilometer away.

Ding Huan arrived at the periphery of the black stone. In just over a month, several more patterns had appeared on the surface of the stone.

The black stone floated in a space less than thirty feet in diameter and was slowly rotating in a certain pattern.

Currently, the surface of the black stone also carried a faint aura of control.

Despite not understanding what was happening, Ding Huan also felt that it was nothing good.

He did not rashly enter. In the computation process, acquiring this black stone was not so simple.

Ding Huan carefully scrutinized the surroundings and, finding no Arrays, finally felt at ease.

Indeed, this was the Earth’s core. He had used Level 8 Earth Jutsu talismans to travel continuously for more than twenty days—who could possibly find this place?

Since there were no Arrays, he could enter the space and then use an Array to trap the stone.

But just as Ding Huan lifted his foot to step in, he withdrew it the next moment.

He was an eighth-level Array King, and just because he couldn’t feel any arrays, it didn’t mean there weren’t any there.

By logical reasoning, if he had placed a stone here, especially one of great importance,

even if he knew no one would be able to find this place, he would definitely have arranged an array around it.

Ding Huan decided to use the Eye of the Great Wilderness to carefully observe, and after two hours, Ding Huan looked at the black stone with a frown, his expression ugly.

With the Eye of the Great Wilderness, he saw array patterns.

There indeed was an array here; he hadn’t seen it simply because his mastery of the Array Dao was lacking.

This array was set up using array patterns, something which Ding Huan knew existed long ago. However, he had not yet delved into the realm of array patterns.

Of course, the grade of the array patterns before him wasn’t high.

Real array patterns should be invisible even with the Eye of the Great Wilderness.

Ding Huan carefully observed the array and its patterns; it was a ninth-level Hidden Killing Trap Array.

Had he not used the Eye of the Great Wilderness to inspect it and recklessly stepped in, he might have already been trapped.

A ninth-level Killing Trap Array posed a significant threat to him, and once he triggered these array patterns, he would surely alarm the individual who arranged the array.

After half a day passed, Ding Huan figured out a method to break the Array.

Ding Huan didn’t immediately attempt to dismantle the Killer Trap Array set up with array patterns.

He couldn’t set up such a Big Array himself, but he felt that this Killing Trap Array had flaws.

Since there were flaws, there must be traces to follow.

Using his cultivation of the Great Universe Technique to search, as long as there was the slightest clue, he could learn the method of arranging array patterns.

Once he had a basic understanding of arranging array patterns, he could slowly perfect it.

The fear was that he might not even get a basic grasp.

The Great Universe Technique carefully incorporated the Array Pattern Formation into the cycle, and Ding Huan captured obscure traces of Dao Rhythm.

Furthermore, the Array Pattern Formation’s array patterns formed Dao Rhythm, array pattern combinations formed Dao Rhythm, array pattern inscriptions formed Dao Rhythm, directional array patterns, attack array patterns...

The more Ding Huan felt, the more he realized how far behind his Array Dao was.

The more he studied, the more he sensed his deficiencies.

Back when he was making talismans, he had thought about the issue of array patterns. It seemed that those methods of arranging array patterns were on the verge of bursting forth in his mind, as if he could do it at any moment.

That "at any moment" was just that slight bit out of reach.

Today, having seen the Array Pattern Formation, he finally found the method to arrange an Array Pattern Formation.

Starting today, he would be able to set up Array Patterns on his own.

Ding Huan stopped running the Great Universe Technique and thought to himself that this must have been set up by some Array Dao expert from Jiuyuan.

Regardless, he was grateful.

This time Ding Huan didn’t use any Array Flags, instead he learned on the spot, inscribing several array patterns in the void, then made a sweeping motion.

A brand new array flag of patterns vanished into the space before him, and Ding Huan stepped forward.

The Array Pattern Formation seemed to know Ding Huan was coming, automatically tearing open an entrance for him.

Looking closely at the jet-black stone before him, several words suddenly emerged in his mind: "Star Core Stone..."

The value of the Star Core Stone couldn’t be described as merely precious, it was practically unseen.

This thing was a priceless treasure because each planet had only one Star Core Stone.

If the Star Core Stone continued to grow, it would become a Star Core Crystal.

The Star Core Stone before him, though not as precious as the Star Core Crystal, was still one of the hardest treasures to acquire in the vast universe.

The uses of the Star Core Stone were significant; if used to refine a Magical Treasure, it would undoubtedly be top-tier.

Besides refining Magical Treasures, the Star Core Stone had another more important use, which was to refine planets.

Ding Huan drew in a breath of cold air.

He finally understood Jiuyuan’s purpose: to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land.

Once the Triple Heaven Star Land was refined into a True Spirit World, this Star Core Stone would become the core of the Triple Heaven Star Land’s True Spirit World.

The greatest advantage of using this Star Core Stone to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land was that it wouldn’t alarm the cultivators residing on this Star Land.

Because when the time came, one only needed to refine the Star Core Stone, and by then it would have become the boundary stele of the True Spirit World.

When the Dao Patterns were fully inscribed on the Star Core Stone, it would be time for someone to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land.

This Star Core Stone might have been left here for over a thousand years, with all its Dao Rhythms belonging to the Dao Principles of the Triple Heaven Star Land.

Only a Star Core Stone could collect the Dao Rhythms of an entire world’s Dao Principles.

As for why Jia Daoyuan was so confident that he was indispensable...

Jia Daoyuan lived in the City Lord Mansion, directly above the Star Core Stone, and during his cultivation, he would send his own Dao Rhythms into the Star Core Stone.

When the owner of the Star Core Stone came to refine the Triple Heaven Star Land into a True Spirit World, Jia Daoyuan would become the Boundary Stele Artifact Spirit of this True Spirit World.

Ding Huan was sure Jia Daoyuan didn’t know about this, for if he did, he would likely not be willing to become an Artifact Spirit.

Ding Huan definitely wouldn’t allow such a thing to continue.

Ding Huan first cut off all possible Teleportation Array Patterns that could exist around him.

Indeed, he hadn’t seen any Teleportation Array Patterns, but what if there were? What if he had to fight someone underground because of some unexpected Teleportation Array Pattern?

After severing the surrounding space’s Teleportation Dao Rhythms, Ding Huan laid down Sealing Restrictions, enveloping the not yet fully-formed Star Core Stone into his ring,

and for the surrounding Killing Trap Arrays set up with array patterns, Ding Huan showed no courtesy at all and tore them all apart.
