Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 542 - 535 Ancient Cypress Residual Soul

"Brother Ji, I don't know how to set up a Divine Array." Ding Huan said helplessly.

Ji Luo chuckled, "That's why you're asking for my help."

Ding Huan said flatly, "Then I won't take back the Heaven and Earth Scale, I'll give it to you. The precondition is that you must help me get rid of that residual soul."

"Deal." Ji Luo's voice came almost simultaneously.

Fortunately, he was just a scale now; otherwise, he might have jumped three feet high in excitement.

Ding Huan had a vague feeling that he couldn't get rid of the owner of the leather scroll within this ancient cypress tree.

The Heaven and Earth Scale was of no use to him anyway, but the owner of that leather scroll was like a thorn in his heart, making him uneasy every day until he was erased.

Without Ji Luo's help, even if he could suppress the opponent, the chance of keeping him was only fifty-fifty.

If he couldn't take out this existence, what was the point of making a move at all?

"Remember, we have to eliminate him, escaping doesn't count." Ding Huan emphasized again.

"Don't worry. You pay me, I remove your troubles. Ji Luo always keeps his word." The scale kept bouncing, obviously in a good mood.

Ding Huan nodded, "Alright, what's next?"

Ji Luo continued, "As long as we set up the Soul Locking Divine Array, there's no need to worry about the Divine Soul escaping. Then we can make our move. You should have a flame, right?"

Hearing this, Ding Huan's face darkened, "Old Ji, it's fine for you to refine the Heaven and Earth Scale, but why did you keep the residual soul inside?"

Only Shi Li knew about the Void Flames.

Now that Ji Luo knew he had the Void Flames, it was most likely because Ji Luo had refined the Heaven and Earth Scale and found a wisp of Shi Li's soul thoughts.

No need to ask, Ji Luo must have interrogated Shi Li.

However, Shi Li didn't know much about his affairs.

With his understanding of Ji Luo these days, Ding Huan was certain that Ji Luo would definitely keep Shi Li's residual soul.

"Little brother, you don't know, but this residual soul is actually useful to me. I plan to create a Divine Puppet, and this residual soul can be integrated into my puppet to give me a little help."

Ding Huan knew Ji Luo was definitely lying, but he didn't care anymore.

Shi Li's residual soul posed no threat to him; as long as this guy didn't leave Shi Li's residual soul on Earth.

After a brief explanation, Ji Luo didn't wait for Ding Huan to speak and continued, "You must use the flame to create an Immortal Flame space shield to lock down this entire space within the ancient cypress.

Then you can attack the residual soul, and I will transform into an Array Flag and hide in a corner to launch a surprise attack."

"Alright, let's do it that way." Ding Huan immediately agreed to Ji Luo's plan.

Apart from the Divine Array, Ding Huan had anticipated all other methods.

Ji Luo took out a bunch of Array Flags and began to set up the Divine Array.

Ding Huan followed behind Ji Luo, learning and asking questions constantly.

Fortunately, Ji Luo wasn't stingy and answered all of Ding Huan's questions.

For questions that were extremely difficult for Ding Huan, Ji Luo could resolve them with just a single sentence.

Ding Huan couldn't help but feel that having a teacher made a world of difference.

If he had a master, he wouldn't have had to deduce everything himself...

No, if he hadn't relied on himself for everything, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today.

Years ago, Ding Huan had only studied Ji Luo's Forbidden Arrays for a short time, but it had significantly improved his level in array formations.

Now, with Ji Luo's hands-on teaching and generous guidance, Ding Huan's progress in arrays was nothing short of riding a cosmic pot.

Surpassing a thousand miles in one day.

One day later, Ji Luo had set up a Soul Locking Divine Array and a Soul Slaughter Divine Array.

Ding Huan asked Ji Luo for some Array Flags and began to set up the Heavenly Net Big Array, constantly consulting Ji Luo while doing so.

An entire day had passed, and when Ding Huan finished setting up the big array, Ji Luo was somewhat shocked and said,

"Brother, you've got some skills. After just one day of learning from me, you can set up a level one Divine Array. Impressive."

Ji Luo was genuinely praising Ding Huan; his comprehension was extraordinary.

He even felt that the Divine Array Ding Huan set up had its own system. Though still very immature, it showed that he might surpass him in the future.

While setting up the array, he answered all of Ding Huan's questions, but Ding Huan's level was still a bit lower, just the Immortal King Realm.

Moreover, setting up a Divine Array wasn't just about cultivation; it also required a deep understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Ding Huan's ability to set up such an array was truly remarkable.

Recalling the questions Ding Huan had just asked, Ji Luo realized they were mostly about interactions between laws and spaces.

Looking at Ding Huan again, Ji Luo thought he had the strongest understanding of Heaven and Earth Laws among all the people he had met.

"It's all thanks to your teaching, brother Ji. I am very grateful." Ding Huan was also very satisfied.

Ji Luo laughed to himself, thinking, This guy calls me "brother" when there's a benefit, and "old Ji" when there's none.

Just like him, calling him Ah Huan when he wanted something, and "little brother" when he didn't.

"Ding Huan, you are very talented. Have you ever considered becoming my disciple?" Ji Luo suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Ding Huan refused, "Brother, are you trying to take advantage of me? We're getting along fine as brothers, and now you want me to call you master? That's too much."

Ji Luo was struck by Ding Huan's logic. What kind of person is this?

Many people wanted to be his disciples, but he had always been disdainful. Now, when he wanted to accept Ding Huan as his disciple, the guy refused such an opportunity.

"Think about it carefully. Miss this chance and there won't be another. I just taught you for one day and you became a Divine Array Master. That says something." Ji Luo reiterated.

This time, Ding Huan replied even more bluntly, "Brother, don't think about taking advantage of me. Otherwise, I'll call you little brother."

"Alright, alright, you're the impressive one." Ji Luo felt he was truly being petty.

Ji Luo had set up only two Divine Arrays, the rest of the killing and trapping arrays were all done by Ding Huan.

Ji Luo watched as Ding Huan set up from basic Divine Arrays to advanced Immortal Arrays, and when he approached the ancient cypress tree, he only set up a level six Spirit Array.

Then he planted various Immortal Spirit Veins into the void, providing Immortal Spirit Sources to the big array.

"What a cunning kid." Ji Luo thought with disdain.

This guy was playing a crafty game.

It was just frustrating that this kid didn't want to be his disciple.

After everything was set up, Ding Huan finally stood alone in front of the ancient cypress tree, hiding his cultivation at the Earth Immortal Realm.

The Cultivation Technique he practiced could conceal his true strength; even Ji Luo wouldn't necessarily see through it.

Ding Huan was gambling that this ancient cypress's residual soul couldn't communicate with the leather scroll's Dao thoughts.

They might have some slight connection, but the chance of full communication wasn't high.

The five leather scrolls each contained a Dao thought that could resonate with each other.

When one leather scroll was destroyed, the Dao thought of the second leather scroll would appear, attracting a new target.

Just like when he destroyed a scroll, Zuo Shanyi found the second one.

Ding Huan was sure that the scroll sealed in the Star House wasn't among the five scrolls.

The scroll in the Star House had the same owner as those five scrolls.

However, the scroll in the Star House was likely just sent out by this residual soul within the ancient cypress.

The other scrolls were left behind by the residual soul when it was in full power.

If this residual soul of the ancient cypress could indeed communicate with the scattered Dao thoughts of the five scrolls, how could it be trapped inside the tree, unable to leave?

Ding Huan's Divine Will penetrated the ancient cypress, only to sense the internal situation vaguely.

However, Ding Huan's Divine Will was only equivalent to an Earth Immortal's.

At the same time, his eyes had Dao Rhythm flowing.

He didn't believe that with the Eye of the Great Wilderness and cultivation at the Immortal King Realm, he couldn't see through illusions.

Sure enough, he saw a pair of cold eyes. The deathly gaze from those eyes fell directly on him.

Clearly, it was in the void, which his Divine Will couldn't detect, yet the Eye of the Great Wilderness could see it.

If there was a gaze, there must be a body. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the body with the Eye of the Great Wilderness.

Ding Huan summoned the Reincarnation Spear, which generated a powerful Earth Immortal killing aura, striking the ancient cypress.

Though the Reincarnation Spear was still some distance from those eyes, it was evident that this strike wouldn't hit the eyes he saw with the Eye of the Great Wilderness.

Just as the Reincarnation Spear was less than a foot away from the eyes, the killing force of the spear suddenly increased a billionfold.

Moreover, the tip of the Reincarnation Spear was engulfed in a Law Flame.

In the instant the killing force surged, the spearhead finally shifted less than a foot, hitting the center of the eyes, slightly above them.

It was the glabella.

Bang!

A muffled grunt was heard, followed by several violent spiritual needles striking Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness.

Even with preparation, Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness was still in turmoil.

His starry sky trembled, and the Law waves within the Milky Way surged wildly.

Ding Huan spat a Blood Arrow, and his entire body flew backward.

Crash! The ancient cypress shattered into countless fragments under the spear.

If it weren't for the array's protection, the fragments would have scattered into the sky.

So strong.

Ding Huan's eyes showed a flash of shock.

He had seen people feign weakness before, but never someone so powerful pretending to be weak.

At the peak of the second layer of the Immortal King Realm, that strike with the Law Flame could have eliminated a late-stage Immortal Emperor's soul.

No, even a residual soul beyond the Immortal Emperor would have perished under that strike.

But now it seemed he had only severely damaged the opponent, not killed him.

This, despite his long calculation and preemptive strike.

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned outward.

Although the ambush strike had heavily injured the residual soul,

amidst the countless fragments of the ancient cypress, he couldn't detect where the residual soul was hiding.

Ding Huan activated the Eye of the Great Wilderness once more.

Finally, a subtle fluctuation was detected; the residual soul was still at the tree roots.

Ding Huan no longer hid, the Reincarnation Spear now raising an immense killing force, striking down again.

At the same time, Ding Huan's Divine Will forcefully enveloped the space where the residual soul was located.

Although he couldn't grasp the residual soul's Divine Thought Domain, it didn't hinder him from deploying the Yellow Flower Killing Divine Power.

Just as this strike was unleashed, Ding Huan realized he had been played.
