Chapter 218: Why Should I Accommodate Others?
"Yuhé, wait for me in West Wind City. The city lord there is a friend of mine. You can ask him to take you to my place," Ding Huan said to Sang Yuhé before he left, stepping onto his spear and heading towards Hidden Sword Mountain.
The space inside the open-mouthed bottle was a bit small.
He wondered if he could compress the restrictions to collect more of the poisonous mist within the limited space.
Hidden Sword Mountain was as it always had been, completely shrouded in poisonous mist, with no trace of the mountain visible.
Unlike the last time when he had to be cautious, this time Ding Huan charged into Hidden Sword Mountain without a care.
Before he had created the Great Universe Technique, he could only neutralize the poison in the mist.
If it was a small area, it would be fine.
But if he stayed in such a poisonous environment for a long time, he wouldn't be able to completely neutralize the poison invading his body, leading to physical poisoning.
Now, Ding Huan could fully absorb the energy within the poisonous mist and separate out the toxins.
This time, Ding Huan didn't head towards the direction of the cosmic vortex.
There was a powerful figure hidden there, and it wouldn't be good if he got caught by that old man.
But that cosmic vortex...
Ding Huan stopped and looked in the direction of the cosmic vortex.
He suddenly felt that this vortex might still be useful to him.
If he were to kill Elder He, he would inevitably establish his own sect in Purple Mist Valley and pass down a simplified version of his Great Universe Technique.
The cultivation system of the Great Universe Technique wasn't like the usual stages of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, True Core, Soul Formation, and Divine Transformation...
In that case, he would need to use this place again to modify his technique.
He would have to change the rule system of the Great Universe Technique to match the cultivation realms of the Three Heavens Star Continent, such as Qi Refining, Foundation Building, True Core, and so on.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan frowned.
Was it because the Great Universe Technique he created was inferior to the cultivation techniques of the Three Heavens Star Continent?
Or was it because few people knew about the technique he created, so he had to align it with the mainstream techniques?
This made him uncomfortable.
Clearly, the system and power of the technique he created were stronger than the cultivation systems of this world, yet he had to align with the weaker ones.
Otherwise, when his sect's disciples went out, others would ask about their cultivation levels, and they would say Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and so on.
His disciples would say things like Stardust and Nebula.
Obviously, they would be ridiculed, and people would think his sect was a joke.
The more Ding Huan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and the more uncomfortable he felt, the more he couldn't stop thinking about it.
At this point, he even forgot why he had come here.
He was here to collect the poisonous mist of Hidden Sword Mountain, not to think about things that hadn't even started yet.
He stood in the poisonous mist for three full days, with a pile of toxins refined by the Great Universe Technique around him.
On the fourth day, he finally woke up.
Was he about to go berserk?
Ding Huan looked in the direction of Ji Xinting.
Could it be that he had been influenced by that old man?
But his Great Universe Technique was completely independent of anyone's control.
It was a technique he had created himself.
Thinking that he had been careful to avoid Ji Xinting earlier, Ding Huan suddenly felt it was completely unnecessary.
If the other party could really do anything to him, he wouldn't have been able to escape last time.
With a clear mind, Ding Huan felt completely at ease.
He no longer had any reservations and laughed heartily, followed by a long whistle.
What was there to fear?
Since he had created his own Great Universe Technique and established his own sect's legacy, why should he modify the cultivation realm system?
In the future, all his sect's disciples would practice branches of the Great Universe Technique, without exception.
What did it matter if the Three Heavens Star Continent didn't recognize it? They could practice their own cultivation systems, and he would practice his.
In other words, you walk your single-plank bridge, and I'll walk my broad road.
Let's see in the future whether his Great Universe Technique would influence the natural laws of the Three Heavens Star Continent, or the original cultivation rules of the Three Heavens would influence his Great Universe Technique.
Who could say that in the future, the entire cultivation hierarchy of the Three Heavens Star Continent couldn't be replaced by the realm system created by Ding Huan?
"Young friend, I did have some ill intentions towards you last time, and I apologize. If you're willing, we can talk again."
Just as Ding Huan was feeling heroic, a voice suddenly came through.
Ding Huan wasn't surprised at all.
It was Ji Xinting again.
With the commotion he had just made, it was normal for the other party to know he was here.
Originally, Ding Huan hadn't planned to go to the cosmic vortex.
But now he had to go, because if he wanted to establish his own path of inheritance, he had to claim Hidden Sword Mountain for himself.
His sect's disciples needed a place to comprehend the vastness of the starry sky while cultivating.
Hidden Sword Mountain was the best place for his new sect to comprehend the vastness of the starry sky.
He himself also needed to go there to comprehend his new technique.
What could Ji Xinting, a half-dead guy, do to him?
Currently, his Nebula was complete, and he was about to step into the next stage.
Coming to Hidden Sword Mountain, he could use this cosmic vortex to comprehend the next level of the Great Dao.
Wasn't this a coincidence?
Without hesitation, Ding Huan flashed towards the cosmic vortex where he had comprehended the Great Universe Technique.
Before he reached the cosmic vortex, he saw Ji Xinting.
Compared to two years ago, Ji Xinting hadn't improved much and seemed even more listless.
"I apologize to you. Last time, I wanted to ask for your help, so I thought of subduing you. It wasn't that I had ill intentions, but my way of doing things led me to make that choice. You can consider me someone who has been arrogant for too long and hasn't changed yet..."
Ji Xinting's voice came through, but Ding Huan didn't move.
He needed to go further to feel the vastness of the void from the cosmic vortex.
So at this moment, Ding Huan was calculating whether he was in any danger.
After some calculations, Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't in any danger.
In other words, Ji Xinting's words might actually be true, and he wouldn't continue to attack him.
"Also, I need to thank you. You knew my identity but didn't reveal it. That's why I'm thanking you. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would try everything to come here and kill me... I still don't know your name. Could you tell me?"
Ji Xinting's words of gratitude came again.
Ding Huan heard them but didn't care.
To be open and honest with someone like Ji Xinting? He would be asking for death.
He and Ji Xinting could never be friends.
The only possibility between them was a transaction.
And this transaction had to be based on both parties not betraying each other.
Seeing that Ji Xinting still wanted to say something, Ding Huan waved his hand:
"My name is Ding Huan, Old Ji. Knowing it won't do you any good. I won't give you the chance to kill me. And save the rest for later. I need to comprehend my technique first. I might even break through."
Hearing Ding Huan's words, Ji Xinting also agreed:
"Alright, your technique is truly remarkable. It seems you comprehended it yourself. I can feel that your technique is vast and boundless, but I can't fathom its mysteries."
Ding Huan ignored the guy and walked forward a few more feet before stopping near the boulder that had been shattered by lightning last time.
The first thing he did after stopping was to take out a bunch of array flags and start setting up formations.
A defensive formation was definitely needed, an offensive formation couldn't be missing, and a trigger formation was essential to prevent Ji Xinting from attacking him.
After that, he set up a spirit gathering formation and an external trapping formation.
This formation was to prevent anyone from ambushing him and instead trap the ambusher or their treasures.
It was a pity he couldn't set up a teleportation formation.
Otherwise, he would definitely set one up.
Even though he couldn't move, Ji Xinting could still clearly sense Ding Huan's use of formations.
In such a short time, Ding Huan could already set up a fifth-level grand formation.
Was he defying the heavens? Such talent in formations...
After thinking for a moment, Ding Huan took out the spirit vein he had obtained from Chang Qi's ring and placed it at his feet.
After doing all this, Ding Huan felt he could deduce the next step of his technique.
Sitting on the spirit vein, the Great Universe Technique activated, and Ding Huan's divine sense penetrated the cosmic vortex.
His entire being was drawn into the vastness of the universe before him.
At this moment, he was the universe.
His Dao formed a tiny speck of stardust within his own universe, opening up this Great Dao universe.
This tiny speck of stardust slowly condensed into twelve nebulae.
The foundation of his Great Dao initially started with that tiny speck of stardust.
As his cultivation improved, his foundation became the nebulae.
But that wasn't enough.
The nebulae couldn't support the continued development of his Great Dao.
His nebulae had to condense a new foundation...
Ding Huan's Great Dao concepts merged with his comprehension of the vast starry sky through the cosmic vortex.
Not far away, Ji Xinting couldn't lift his head.
He could feel the vast and boundless aura of the Great Dao surrounding Ding Huan.
This time, without the obstruction of the natural formation in the boulder, he could sense it even more clearly.
He was horrified to find that the Dao of the young man cultivating before him was like a vast and boundless universe, and this young man could control his own universe.
As the young man's Great Dao continued to grow, the vast universe also slowly perfected and expanded...
What kind of Great Dao was this?
Ji Xinting was terrified.
He, Ji Xinting, was after all the recognized strongest in the cultivation world of the Three Heavens Star Continent.
Yet he felt that his Dao compared to Ding Huan's was like a firefly to the bright moon.
No, the difference was even greater.
At this moment, he felt Ding Huan's aura change again.
It seemed that the originally calm and expanding universe began to fluctuate violently, and Ding Huan's momentum surged accordingly.
The universe was still the same universe, but it had become even more vast.
"I want to cultivate this technique," Ji Xinting shouted in his heart.
At this moment, his desire for the technique Ding Huan was cultivating reached its peak.
...
Boom!
The twelve nebulae in Ding Huan's dantian merged under the Great Dao technique, forming the rudiments of a star mountain.
Intense vitality of the Great Dao surrounded the star mountain, and the spiritual energy from the spirit vein at Ding Huan's feet was sucked away like a floodgate had opened.
Ding Huan's aura continued to rise, and his true essence increased tenfold.
