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

Opening Wu Hongtian's ring, Ding Huan saw no less than five to six hundred thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals.

Ding Huan was secretly astounded, this guy really knew how to save.

Cultivating in the Void to the Golden Immortal Middle Stage, yet having five to six hundred thousand low-grade Immortal Crystals in the ring, he truly was a master of saving money.

There were piles of Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls and various Daoist Technique Jade Scrolls, which Ding Huan was not interested in. What surprised him was finding a handwritten notebook inside Wu Hongtian's ring.

Ding Huan took out the notebook, which obviously had some years on it.

Opening the first page, it turned out to be a record of the Fourth Immortal Domain.

"On my first day entering the Fourth Immortal Domain, I felt something odd about this Immortal Domain. Indeed, after I advanced to True Immortal, I couldn't progress any further, so I simply left the Fourth Immortal Domain; it is not a good place…"

Reading this, Ding Huan felt a chill in his heart; Wu Hongtian's intuition was so strong.

Ding Huan started to think about his first time entering the Fourth Immortal Domain, when he was only focused on improving his cultivation and never considered if there might be anything wrong with the Immortal Domain.

He had a blind confidence in Immortal Domains, being places of higher Heaven and Earth Rules, what could possibly be wrong?

But later on, as he cultivated, he realized there were indeed problems with the Heaven and Earth Rules of this Immortal Domain. Not only could one not advance to Golden Immortal, but even becoming a Second-level Immortal Array Master was impossible.

"Today, I found a method in the Void to search for Immortal Essence sprouts, this is definitely the most important thing in my pursuit of the Great Dao, from today onwards, I no longer worry about resources…"

"I went to the Fourth Immortal Domain again, and that feeling attenuated, but I trust my intuition, there's something wrong with the Fourth Immortal Domain."

"I foresee major changes in Void City and a coming opportunity, so I've built many cave mansions in Void City."

"No, the cave mansions in Void City don't belong to anyone, anyone can build them, I must establish an order in Void City. My current cultivation is too low, I need to wait until I become a Profound Immortal to do this…"

"I didn't expect that the Billions of Void Swamps are the place to leave the boundary of the Fourth Immortal Domain, but with my current strength, going in would be suicide.

I need to wait until I advance to Profound Immortal, and the cave mansions in Void City have turned into Immortal Crystals, before going to the Billions of Void Swamps."

…

Ding Huan continued reading, all of which were Wu Hongtian's cultivation experiences, insights, and future plans within the Void, alongside some premonitions.

As for the place called Billions of Void Swamps, it was Ding Huan's first time hearing about it.

According to Wu Hongtian's meaning, being in the Fourth Immortal Domain was actually being trapped in a certain boundary, and one could only leave the Fourth Immortal Domain by crossing the Billions of Void Swamps.

What about the Fifth Immortal Domain that he heard in the Fourth Immortal Domain? Could it be also within this boundary?

Or is it that one could reach the Fifth Immortal Domain by crossing the Billions of Void Swamps?

Ding Huan wouldn't judge Wu Hongtian's character, but Wu Hongtian's alertness about the future was definitely something he should learn.

Putting away Wu Hongtian's notes.

Ding Huan decided to first decipher the Array Token, then re-enter the Fourth Immortal Domain and have a chat with Shen Yi.

One by one, Immortal Array Flags were refined by Ding Huan, as he continuously perfected his Array Dao.

There were some Array Formation Jade Scrolls in Wu Hongtian's ring, but Ding Huan didn't look highly upon any of them.

With the improvement in his mastery of Array Dao, the array methods in his memory were far superior to those Array Dao Jade Scrolls in Wu Hongtian's ring.

Three months later, Ding Huan had entered the Second-level Immortal Array Master, officially becoming an Array Master who could set up Second-level Immortal Arrays.

A year later, Ding Huan stepped forward to the Third-level Immortal Array Master, while the Void Array Patterns also stepped into the Third-level Immortal Array Pattern ranks.

Ding Huan knew it might still not be enough; he had not copied the Array Token, and was still continuing his research on Immortal Array Array Dao.

Two years later, Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen advanced to True Immortal First Layer, while Ding Huan was still researching Array Dao.

Several more months passed, and Ding Huan stopped his Array Dao research.

Ding Huan suspected that he was encountering the same situation as within the Fourth Immortal Domain; in the outer peripheries, the maximum he could become was a Third-level Immortal Array Master, unable to become a Fourth-level Immortal Array Master.

This was probably the same situation he encountered in the Fourth Immortal Domain.

Likely it was the restrictions of Heaven and Earth Rules that stopped him from further progressing in Array Dao.

If he had focused solely on cultivation rather than Array Dao.

Then here, he could only cultivate up to the Profound Immortal realm, and after reaching Profound Immortal, he wouldn't be able to advance either.

As a Third-level Immortal Array Master, to replicate a Fourth-level Immortal Array's patterns, he didn't know if it would work.

Ding Huan took out the Array Token again. Although it was covered in intricate Array Patterns and various Array Laws,

Compared to a few years ago when Ding Huan studied this Array Token, it was much easier now, at least he could understand what those Array Patterns were for.

Fully replicating this kind of Array Token was out of the question, but Ding Huan felt that although many Array Patterns were beyond him to engrave, others could be substituted.

Another three months passed, and Ding Huan hadn't copied an identical Array Token, but he had made a substitute Array Token.

In which at least thirty percent of the Array Patterns were derived through the Great Universe Technique, then substituted for the original Array Patterns.

Ding Huan didn't know if this Array Token would work. He had made it based on his understanding of all the Array Patterns on the original Array Token.

"If it really doesn't work, then I can only use the Array Token given by Shen Yi."

"Ding Sect Master..." Seeing Ding Huan come out, Qi Yonghan was overjoyed and immediately came up to greet him.

He and Mu Zhen had cultivated to the True Immortal First Layer and stabilized, so they did not continue cultivating.

Ding Huan waved his hand, "Let's just call each other friends, stop calling me Sect Master. I'm no longer any sect master. Let's go, we're heading to the Fourth Immortal Domain."

"I heard that the Fourth Immortal Domain can only be entered at specific times, and now may not be the right time," Mu Zhen cautiously remarked.

"Let's first give it a try." Ding Huan controlled the iron pot, taking Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen, and after two days they were once again outside Void City.

Looking at the still dilapidated Void City, Ding Huan found it hard to understand why Wu Hongtian would value Void City?

This place where the Heaven and Earth Rules limited cultivators to only advancing to Profound Immortal, facing an even worse Fourth Immortal Domain, how good could it be?

Some cultivators who knew Ding Huan, upon seeing him return to the outskirts of Void City, all widened their eyes, thinking they had seen wrong.

Almost three years ago, Ding Huan was chased away from Void City by Wu Hongtian, and logically speaking, Ding Huan was destined to die.

How could he return here again?

Not only did Ding Huan come back, but even the two people he saved also returned, this...

Could it be that Wu Hongtian was killed?

Wasn't it said that Wu Hongtian had already reached the True Immortal Middle Stage? How could he be killed?

Ding Huan felt somewhat apprehensive. He reached the obstructing Array Patterns of the Fourth Immortal Domain, took out a replicated Array Token he made, pressed it, and simultaneously activated the Array Token.

The Array Patterns fluctuated, and soon a clear Array Gate appeared, Ding Huan was overjoyed, "Hurry up and go in."

With those words, he stepped inside.

Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen also quickly followed Ding Huan into the Fourth Immortal Domain. The Array Patterns behind them closed, leaving no trace visible.

"I didn't expect it to actually work." Ding Huan excitedly looked at the Array Token in his hand, only then realizing the Array Pattern's rules on the token had dispersed and it was now useless.

It seemed that his replication was a one-time use, but that was enough.

At least he wouldn't need to find someone else's Array Token every time he needed to leave and come back.

"Ding Huan, why is the Immortal Spirit Qi here even weaker than in the Void?" Upon entering the Fourth Immortal Domain, Qi Yonghan immediately sensed a problem.

Mu Zhen also felt the insufficient Immortal Spirit Qi here. How could one cultivate with such scarce Immortal Spirit Qi?

Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "In the Fourth Immortal Domain, we can only join an Immortal Sect. There is Immortal Spirit Qi inside the sects.

I will go and see one sect first. If you can't join, we'll think of something else."

Ding Huan originally wanted to explain that there might be some issues with this Fourth Immortal Domain, but he himself hadn't figured out what the problems were, so how could he explain?

"What about you?" Qi Yonghan asked.

Ding Huan sighed, "I plan to leave the Fourth Immortal Domain. This place isn't suitable for me. Specifically, I still don't know; I need to go in and ask."

Ding Huan did not say he would take Qi Yonghan with him. He himself didn't know what the future held, how could he take Qi Yonghan?

Besides, for Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen, as long as they were inside an Immortal Sect in the Fourth Immortal Domain, that was enough.

They were different from him. The Great Universe Technique only required sufficient Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Qi and enough Heaven and Earth Rules; he had almost no bottlenecks in his cultivation.

Continuing to stay in the Fourth Immortal Domain was just a waste of time for him.

Qi Yonghan and Mu Zhen were different. They were currently at the True Immortal First Layer. To cultivate to Profound Immortal Perfect in the Fourth Immortal Domain where Immortal Spirit Qi was abundant, it would still take at least a thousand years.

...

Immortal Mist Alchemy Dao Sect.

Sect Master Shen Yi had not been faring well during this period.

The Fifth Immortal Domain was about to host the Immortal Sect Master Conference, and one of the topics would be the issue of the Fourth Immortal Domain Array Token's use.

He had not only lent the Array Token, but it had never returned.

He had known two years ago that Ding Huan was killed by Wu Hongtian.

But he couldn't find Wu Hongtian, nor the whereabouts of the Array Token.

Once it was discovered that he had lost the Array Token, it wouldn't be a minor issue.

At best, he alone would be expelled from the Fourth Immortal Domain, and the Immortal Mist Alchemy Dao Sect would merge into another sect.

At worst, he would be taken to the Fifth Immortal Domain. Going to the Fifth Immortal Domain was a good thing, but being taken away meant death.

Shen Yi sighed. He had thought lending the Array Token to Ding Huan would result at most in the forfeiture of the sect's Immortal Crystals and some resources from the Fifth Immortal Domain.

He never expected that once he lent it out, it would never return.

(Goodnight!)
