Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 410 - 405: Well-Regulated Immortal Domain
Ding Huan said solemnly, "There were four of us in our group, and now only two of us are left, and I am severely injured."
He wasn't lying, maybe the other two couldn't even traverse the swamps of the Billions of Void Swamps.
No need for Ding Huan to explain further, his pale complexion and listless aura were enough indication that he was indeed severely injured.
"Weren't you close to the Life and Death Fog Realm in the Gray Sea, getting lost inside? The Gray Sea Crystal is valuable but you shouldn't get too close to the fog realm," the female cultivator asked in astonishment.
Getting swept away by the Life and Death Fog Realm almost certainly meant no survivor. This was common knowledge to any cultivator who came to the Banting Sea.
Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, my two companions were after a Gray Sea Crystal and accidentally got swept in and never came out. I tried to rescue them but was repelled by the life and death fog.
Now, we can't even make our way back. Our navigation map is with my companions..."
At this point, the look of hope in Ding Huan's eyes was evident even to a fool.
"You only have one navigation orb?" the female cultivator looked at Ding Huan in disbelief.
Ding Huan nodded awkwardly, slightly apologetically saying, "We never anticipated such an event, is there any chance you could lend us a navigation orb, senior sister?"
The female cultivator sighed, took out a navigation orb, and tossed it to Ding Huan, saying, "Here, take it."
"Thank you, senior sister," Ding Huan quickly bowed and thanked her.
"Forget it, just be careful. But your Flying Treasure is too low-grade, crossing the Banting Sea might take you half a year," the female cultivator waved her hand.
The four people controlled the spaceship and quickly approached the Life and Death Fog Realm.
"Can't these people even afford a navigation orb? Sigh," the female cultivator in the spaceship continued to sigh.
Honestly, she had seen many poor cultivators, but like Ding Huan, attempting to find Gray Sea Crystals in the Life and Death Fog Realm and still being so poor, this was the first time she had seen it.
Another man in the spaceship said indifferently, "Junior sister Qing, you might be mistaken, I don't think they seem like the type who can't afford a navigation orb..."
"What else could it be? They are riding a Flying Spirit Artifacts, clearly they are poor loose cultivators," the female cultivator named Qing immediately contradicted.
The man shook his head, "I can't quite say, if it weren't for the Gray Sea being unsurvivable, I would even think they came out of the Gray Sea."
"Haha, you really have a wild imagination," the other two cultivators in the spaceship also couldn't help but laugh.
Come out of the Gray Sea?
Tell that not only to the likes of small loose immortals like Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi, even a genuine Immortal King venturing into the Gray Sea would face a situation with only death and no life.
...
"This Banting Sea and Gray Sea should be the same sea, right? Just connected, with the Life and Death Fog Realm in between," Wen Zhixi said.
"That would be correct, Zhixi, our Flying Treasure is too slow, and my iron pot is not convenient to bring out..."
Before Ding Huan could finish his sentence, Wen Zhixi smiled slightly, then raised her hand and brought out a spaceship, "This is my father's Flying Treasure; it's a Low Grade Immortal Artifact."
"This might be close to a Mid Grade Immortal Artifact, then you control the spaceship to cross the Banting Sea, I need some time to heal."
"Rest assured and heal, I'll take care of the rest."
Wen Zhixi knew what Ding Huan had gone through this past year, she even doubted whether her own father had the capability to cross the Gray Sea.
Ding Huan still trusted Wen Zhixi. Besides the necessities, she would do things that risked life and death.
In most matters, she was very rational and didn't act recklessly.
As Wen Zhixi controlled the spaceship crossing the Banting Sea, Ding Huan started to check his injuries.
His Divine Will was overexhausted, his Sea of Consciousness was injured, aside from that his Immortal Essence was extremely weak.
It could be said that if he did not possess the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, he would have probably died in the Gray Sea long ago.
In the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, the starry sky was dim, the Dao Rhythm within the Milky Way was no longer clear, even the Star Bridge was blurry.
Ding Huan swallowed a bottle of Void True Marrow and began practicing the Great Universe Technique again.
This substance wasn't as good as the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow for healing, but it was very helpful for Divine Will.
Just one Cycle, Ding Huan knew that this place was definitely in the real Immortal Domain.
Though the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Qi was weak, there was no trace of Mottled Dao Rhythm within it, allowing cultivators to practice freely here without feeling any restrictions from the Heaven and Earth Rules.
Ding Huan's injuries were caused merely by excessive use of Divine Will, leading to damage in the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.
Now as the Great Universe Technique operated, combined with the clear Heaven and Earth Rules, his recovery was fast.
As the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe slowly recovered, Ding Huan found that his Divine Will had grown several times stronger than before.
This was definitely due to the continuous use of Divine Will throughout the year.
This year of continuous use indeed caused damage to his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe but also tempered his Divine Will's intensity.
Half a month later, Ding Huan's Sea of Consciousness was fully healed, and the star within his Dantian storing Immortal Essence was also restored to its original state.
His Divine Will reached out and found Wen Zhixi had stopped the spaceship.
Further ahead with his Divine Will, was the coast.
It was not strange for Wen Zhixi's ship to stop here, there were others besides Wen Zhixi docking here.
Some people were even trading on the spaceship.
"Brother Ding, you're better now." Seeing Ding Huan come out, Wen Zhixi was overjoyed; she had been waiting for Ding Huan to heal.
Ding Huan nodded, "You should stow away the spaceship first. Your spaceship is a bit too conspicuous here."
Wen Zhixi knew, her spaceship was considered high quality in this area. Fortunately, her cultivation was also high, so no one dared to interfere.
Having stowed away the spaceship, Ding Huan and Wen Zhixi stepped off into the air and landed on the shore.
"Brother Ding, although the Immortal Spirit Qi here isn't very rich, if we could set up a good Gathering Spirit Immortal Array, we could barely manage to cultivate. It's much better than in the Fourth Immortal Domain," Wen Zhixi remarked after feeling the energy around.
Ding Huan's Divine Will swept the area and not far from them was a coastal workshop.
It was normal for the workshop not to have any shielding prohibitions outside, but what surprised Ding Huan was that it also lacked a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array.
Soon enough, Ding Huan's Divine Will extended further. Although he was a Golden Immortal Fifth Layer, his Divine Will was absolutely stronger than that of a Da Yi Immortal.
Wherever his Divine Will reached, in the wilderness, there were some temporary cave mansions left by cultivators. None of them, without exception, showed any traces of having set up a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array.
Ding Huan didn't believe that no one here would set up a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Since that was the case, the absence of visible Immortal Arrays in this area indicated a problem.
"Zhixi, I didn't find any Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays. Let's head to the workshop and ask around," Ding Huan trusted his judgment.
This coastal workshop was not very crowded. Most of the cultivators were either True Immortals or Golden Immortals, and there were even some Earth Immortal cultivators.
From this, one could deduce that the resources in the Banting Sea were very scarce.
Entering the coastal workshop, the roadside stalls were all selling low-grade healing and detoxifying Immortal Pills.
Or else, they were some common cultivation techniques and Artifact Refining Materials.
As for the special product Grey Sea Crystal from between Banting Sea and Grey Sea, it was nowhere to be found here.
"Brother Ding, look at this Penghai Immortal Building; they have a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array," Wen Zhixi finally spotted the first Gathering Spirit Immortal Array.
Ding Huan also saw it. When his Divine Will swept earlier, only a few trading buildings in this workshop had shielding arrays.
This Penghai Immortal Building was one of those with a shielding array. The Gathering Array was set up inside it, which he hadn't seen before.
This indicated that the other few trading buildings with hidden prohibitions also had Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays.
"Let's go inside," Ding Huan led Wen Zhixi into the Penghai Immortal Building.
A clerk immediately came to greet them, "What do you two fellows need?"
Ding Huan spoke, "Greetings, fellow cultivator, we have just come out from our cultivation trials. Recently, we even offended a senior just because we didn't pay much attention to the various rules of the Immortal Sects.
Fortunately, that senior didn't hold it against us. I now wish to purchase a Jade Scroll containing seniors' experiential cultivation insights. Do you have any here?"
"Haha, we have plenty."
The clerk then took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Ding Huan, "This scroll not only contains essential points about travelling through Immortal Sects but also includes some locations where heavenly materials and earthly treasures are produced. It's yours for two Low Grade Immortal Crystals."
As Ding Huan was about to take out the Immortal Crystals, something crossed his mind. His Immortal Crystals had limitations; using them would reveal that he and Wen Zhixi were not from this Immortal Domain.
He quickly took out a top-tier Flying Spirit Artifact and offered it to the clerk, "I've run out of Immortal Crystals, can I use this as collateral?"
The clerk frowned, glanced at Ding Huan's top-tier Spiritual Artifact, and spoke indifferently, "If you give two, I can exchange them for a Jade Scroll."
Seeing that Ding Huan couldn't even produce two Immortal Crystals, the clerk's attitude cooled significantly.
Ding Huan's Divine Will hesitated not in the slightest to break the simple prohibition on the clerk's Jade Scroll and immediately copied all the contents within.
This was all accomplished in an instant, and the clerk didn't notice a thing.
Ding Huan was sure his top-tier Flying Spirit Artifact could be traded for a hundred such Jade Scrolls.
Even though this was the Immortal Realm where top-tier Spiritual Artifacts were not very valuable, it shouldn't be impossible to get one Jade Scroll.
Since the clerk was so intent on ripping him off, he didn't need to be polite.
"If that's the case, then never mind," Ding Huan stowed the Flying Spirit Artifact and quickly left the Penghai Immortal Building with Wen Zhixi.
The clerk didn't bother to call after Ding Huan. Although trading a top-tier Flying Immortal Device for a Jade Scroll was more than sufficient, he still didn't value just any Spiritual Artifact.
"Take a look at this," Ding Huan handed a Jade Scroll to Wen Zhixi.
He had just scanned the contents he had copied into this Jade Scroll.
This Immortal Domain's name was very common, called Great Immortal Domain and also known as Ancient Immortal Domain.
In Great Immortal Domain, only Immortal Sects, families, qualified groups, or individuals had the right to set up Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays.
Otherwise, secretly setting up a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array in the wilderness was against the regulations of the Immortal Domain.
What a peculiar Immortal Domain, Ding Huan felt somewhat helpless.
So, to freely set up Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays, one had to join an Immortal Sect or some organization.
Of course, there was another situation where one could set up Gathering Spirit Immortal Arrays: in the Demon Clan area of the Great Immortal Domain.
However, setting up an Immortal Array in the Demon Clan area—likely, a Gathering Spirit Immortal Array would just become a snack for the Immortal Demon Beasts once erected.
