Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 1115 - 1108: The Longevity Ancestor Is Getting Arrogant

"Senior Ding..."
When Ding Huan first arrived in the World of Gods, the first person he met was Xian Qingan.
Xian Qingan held Ding Huan in great respect, as he knew of Ding Huan's prowess.
Moreover, if it weren't for Ding Huan's assistance, the Seventh Step would have long been eradicated by Xin Changkong.
"Where is Sect Master Xian heading to?"
Xian Qingan hurriedly replied, "The Longevity Palace needs to be rebuilt, and my task is to send out a message to the Longevity Palace Master. And to help the Longevity Palace reclaim several Void Islands."
The Longevity Palace needs to be rebuilt?
Ding Huan frowned immediately.
It was he who had destroyed the Longevity Palace.
Xian Qingan was, after all, the master of one of the ten great Taoist sects in the World of Gods, standing on equal ground with the Longevity Palace in status.
Since the disappearance of the Eternal God Saint, the Seventh Step's status had even surpassed that of the Longevity Palace.
Where did the Longevity Palace find the audacity to have Xian Qingan, a master of one of the ten great Taoist sects, running errands for them?
It seemed that Tantai Zhilian's power had surged, these people had become arrogant.
Xian Qingan explained on the side, "Palace Master Tantai of the Longevity Palace has returned, and the first thing she did upon her return was to inquire about who destroyed the Longevity Palace..."
Xian Qingan paused here, as if recalling that it was Ding Huan before him who destroyed the Longevity Palace, and promptly stopped speaking.
Ding Huan said calmly, "Sect Master Xian, speak freely, no need to worry about me."
Recalling Ding Huan's strength, Xian Qingan was no longer apprehensive, "Upon learning that you destroyed the Longevity Palace, she was very angry at the time.
She sent people everywhere to inquire about your whereabouts, but it seemed to come to nothing eventually.
Later, she went into seclusion for a period.
After coming out, she began rebuilding the Longevity Palace. Now, the expanse occupied by the Longevity Palace is twice its original size, and it has encompassed several small Taoist sects around it.
The Longevity Palace has gone too far, using its power to oppress others. In recent years, various issues have been erupting in the World of Gods, and no one has come forward to speak out.
Being one of the ten great Taoist sects, I stood up to speak a few words for those smaller sects.
These few words of mine angered Tantai Zhilian, and she made a move against me. What I didn't expect was that I wasn't at all her opponent.
To preserve the Seventh Step, I could only run errands for her, alas..."
Xian Qingan sighed, feeling that even his Dao Heart was in danger of faltering.
From Xin Changkong to Tantai Zhilian.
It felt as though his Seventh Step of the Great Dao was a sham, and anyone could bully him around a bit.
Even Ding Huan, who stood before him, was far stronger than him.
Fortunately, Ding Huan was a decent person, and as long as he didn't provoke him, Ding Huan wouldn't actively pick on others.
Ding Huan sneered inwardly, this Tantai Zhilian had indeed grown arrogant.
She dared to inquire about him everywhere.
Whether this woman was genuinely searching for him or just putting on a show for others to see.
Since she was inquiring about him everywhere, he might as well present himself for her inquiries.
"Master Xian, later on, I will accompany you to the Longevity Palace to meet this Daoist Tantai. I plan to head to the Nine Heavens, so I need to inquire some information from you..."
Before Ding Huan finished speaking, Xian Qingan asked in surprise, "Senior plans to go to the Nine Heavens?"
Ding Huan waved his hand, "Sect Master Xian, just call me by my name. I am no senior..."
Seeing Xian Qingan about to say something else, Ding Huan had to add a sentence, "Senior isn't quite the right term, it makes me sound old, just call me by my name in future."
Xian Qingan was a decent person, and Ding Huan didn't want to seem condescending in front of him, especially as he wasn't actually older than Xian Qingan.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ding."
Xian Qingan felt deeply grateful in his heart.
He was acutely aware of Ding Huan's prowess.
Even Xin Changkong, a formidable being born with the opening of the heavens, could be defeated by Ding Huan, whose strength was unquestionably at the pinnacle of the World of Gods.
Ding Huan treating him as an equal was giving him, Xian Qingan, considerable face.
"Mr. Ding, if you want to go to the Nine Heavens, I fear you might just end up going in vain..."
Ding Huan frowned, "What do you mean?"
"The Nine Heavens only has a barrier restriction remaining; the real Nine Heavens disappeared long ago.
The Nine Heavens was originally brought over from another Star Land and now that it's vanished from the World of Gods, no one finds it surprising."
At this point, Xian Qingan naturally recalled the formidable being who brought the Nine Heavens to the World of Gods.
The World of Gods never allowed outsiders to enter, yet that formidable being fought through, rendering the masters of the entire World of Gods speechless against him.
As a master of one of the ten great Taoist sects in the World of Gods, Xian Qingan was privy to some secrets.
He even knew that the powerful entity at the heart of chaos in the World of Gods had emerged, only to be humiliated just the same.
Otherwise, how could the Nine Heavens find a foothold in the sealed World of Gods?
Fortunately, after establishing themselves here, no one emerged from the Nine Heavens.
And the powerful entity from the Nine Heavens hadn't gone on a rampage, having hardly killed anyone.
If it were this person here now, perhaps all the great Taoist sects in the World of Gods would have been annihilated.
Ding Huan remained in thought.
The disappearance of the Nine Heavens didn't surprise him, if the Nine Heavens was brought by Hong Jun, then it was understandable.
He knew Hong Jun's nature well.
Over the course of his journey, how many places had the Nine Heavens changed?
As long as Hong Jun discovered a higher-level cosmic plane, he would take the Nine Heavens and leave.
Though part of the top-tier cosmic plane Star Lands, the World of Gods seemed to fall short compared to the First Universe.
Not to mention the First Universe, even the chaos center in the World of Gods was superior to the World of Gods.
Though, even for the First Universe, Hong Jun shouldn't have had the right to meddle, should he?
Those guys from the First Universe won't be as weak as the Taoist Sect Masters of the World of Gods.
No matter how strong Hong Jun is, he probably can't crush them.
"I'm going to check out the Nine Heavens now."
Ding Huan said immediately.
Whether the Nine Heavens has disappeared doesn't really concern him.
But he is very much concerned about the fact that Di He went to the Nine Heavens and then vanished without a trace.
Since the Nine Heavens has disappeared, there shouldn't be no news from Di He.
"Mr. Ding, I'll go with you." Xian Qingan said.
"Alright, let's go then." Ding Huan patted Xian Qingan's shoulder.
For Xian Qingan to say this meant he was betting everything on him.
Otherwise, when he returned he'd be greeted by the wrath of Tan Tai Zilan.
Ding Huan naturally didn't care.
Even in the Endless Void Space, he could suppress Tan Tai Zilan and teach a lesson, let alone back in the World of Gods.
If Tan Tai Zilan dared to utter a harsh word in front of him, Ding Huan would consider her brave.
...
The Nine Heavens is located in the most remote area of the World of Gods.
And there are no teleportation arrays on the periphery.
Anyone who wants to go to the Nine Heavens can only fly there themselves.
With a common flying treasure, it might take hundreds of years to get there.
Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot reached the Nine Heavens in just a few days.
Xian Qingan was secretly shocked. Despite being the Master of the Universe of a Star Land, he had never seen a flying treasure of Ding Huan's level.
Ding Huan put away the Cosmic Pot and stood outside the barrier of the Nine Heavens, his eyes showing deep thought.
There were no signs of the Position Realm here; theoretically, if it were arranged by Hong Jun, it should be the Position Realm.
Nonetheless, the barrier before him wasn't something an ordinary cultivator could set up.
This barrier crafting wasn't inferior to his, and even exceeded in some details.
Only Hong Jun could set up a barrier of this caliber.
"Master Xian, when did you find out the Nine Heavens was relocated?"
Xian Qingan thought for a moment and said, "It was when Xin Changkong started the massacre. At that time, I worried he would eventually target the Seventh Step.
I sent my disciple with my image to the Nine Heavens for assistance, knowing only the Master of the Nine Heavens could deal with Xin Changkong.
But I didn't expect that before my appeal bore any fruit, Xin Changkong had already found the Seventh Step.
Mr. Ding knows what happened afterwards. If it weren't for Mr. Ding, the Seventh Step would have long ceased to exist.
It wasn't until long after that my disciple sent back a message, saying after trying everything to enter the Nine Heavens, they discovered it had long vanished, leaving only a barrier."
Ding Huan asked no more and tore open the barrier before him.
Inside the barrier was an endless empty wilderness. There was no sign of the Nine Heavens or even its Heaven and Earth Rules.
As for Di He, there was no sign of him either.
Ding Huan's face darkened.
Di He was simple-minded but quite loyal.
He now knew not what happened when Di He entered the Nine Heavens, whether it had already ceased to exist.
If the Nine Heavens was gone at that time, Di He should have been able to leave, right?
If Di He was taken along with the Nine Heavens, he'd have to seek Hong Jun.
"Let's go, I'll go to the Longevity Palace with you."
Ding Huan no longer dwelled on the matter; to find the Nine Heavens, he must go to the First Universe.
Given Hong Jun's nature of trading plums for peaches, the Nine Heavens leaving the World of Gods must lead to the First Universe or a cosmic plane equivalent to the First Universe.
From what Ding Huan understands now.
The First Universe is the Origin Universe.
There is also the chaos center of the World of Gods, which seems qualified to be equal to the First Universe, though he hasn't been there yet, so he can't be sure.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Ding."
Xian Qingan rejoiced.
He clearly knew, Ding Huan was willing to go to the Longevity Palace with him to support him.
...
The Cosmic Pot moved faster.
Five days later, Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot stopped outside the Longevity Palace.
To his surprise, the Longevity Palace that Xian Qingan said was being rebuilt was still ruins.
Ding Huan glanced over and knew these ruins weren't from the chaos he caused back then but were newly formed erosion marks.
Even the traces of Divine Ability Rhythm hadn't faded.
Evidently, the Longevity Palace was rebuilt only to be destroyed again.
Xian Qingan stared for a long time, incredulous, saying, "Mr. Ding, when I left, this place was already rebuilt as vast and magnificent…"
After that, he revealed an Imaging Crystal Ball: "Mr. Ding, take a look, I recorded the Taoist image of the Longevity Palace."
In the image, the Longevity Palace was indeed extraordinarily grand.
It was more impressive than when Ding Huan came to destroy it.
The three massive Dao Rhythm words 'Longevity Palace' floated in the void, showcasing the prestige of a top-tier Taoist Sect.
Additionally, the eight Daoist Rhythm words 'Longevity forever, endlessly thriving' on both sides were even clearer.
Through the Imaging Crystal Ball, Ding Huan knew it was Tan Tai Zilan's handiwork.
