After the myth

Ding Huan stood up, but before he could go out and make a move, a sudden voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Ding, you noticed me a long time ago, didn't you?"

After speaking, the man in blue surnamed Luo, who had been enveloped by Ding Huanyuan's spatial realm, revealed himself.

Ding Huan's guess was correct; this guy didn't conceal himself using his own Taoist magic, but rather through some kind of magical artifact.

Ding Huan said calmly, "Not bad, you actually knew I found out. You're lucky."

This guy is definitely lucky.

If no one had disturbed the Vast Tree, he would have killed the man in blue next.

When he makes his move, he will absolutely not give the man in blue any chance to retaliate.

They either don't make a move at all, or once they do, they beat you to death.

Although no one can take away the Vast Tree, Ding Huan dares not gamble on such a thing, as the Vast Tree is related to his Vast Star Map.

Ding Huan didn't want even the slightest accident to happen.

Moreover, if this person dares to mess with the Vast Tree, who knows if he has a new method?

Now that the man surnamed Luo had shown himself, Ding Huan did not immediately deal with the man in hemp clothing.

The man in hemp clothing probably doesn't know he's inside the vast Dao Ruins.

When he and the man in blue start fighting, the man in hemp clothing will surely realize something is wrong.

"Now that you've discovered me, I think we can join forces. Although our goals are different, we face the same opponent," the man in blue said sincerely.

Clearly, he knew that Ding Huan had already set up the Source Realm to trap him.

Given Ding Huan's strength, coupled with the Origin Realm, he would definitely be at a disadvantage if a fight broke out.

If he dares to break Ding Huan's Origin Realm now, it will not benefit him at all.

"I never cooperate with people of unknown origin," Ding Huan said calmly.

This guy keeps saying he knows me and that I owe him a favor, but I still don't know him at all.

The man in blue clasped his hands in a fist salute: "My name is Luo, you should know me, right?"

Rahu?

"The legendary Demon Ancestor Luo?" Ding Huan stared at the guy in front of him in astonishment.

He had previously speculated whether this guy was Law, but now that the other person actually admitted to being Law, he couldn't believe it.

Ding Huan immediately thought of something: since Luo was here, he must know where Hongjun had gone.

Luo Hou chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Demon Ancestor, hehe—that's just something I dared to call myself in some remote corner of the Ninth Universe. I've seen the real universe outside, and witnessed its vastness."

To still consider oneself a demon ancestor of a realm is utterly laughable. Don't even mention others; even when facing Fellow Daoist Ding, wasn't I trapped?"

Ding Huan did not refute it; what Luo Hou said was actually correct.

Even if Luo is strong enough, and even if he is on par with Hongjun, that's only in the Ninth Universe.

No, it should be described as an unnamed microcosm beneath the Ninth Universe.

As for the creation of chaos, for Ding Huan now, it's something he can create at will.

His Great Dao Universe had already gone through the process of creation from chaos.

Moreover, he has also used his own chaotic evolution to create chaotic magic treasures, and the Yuan Shen City that is protecting him now is derived from the chaos of his Great Dao World.

However, as his Dao improved, his world had already been elevated from the chaotic level to the primordial universe level.

Seeing that Ding Huan tacitly agreed with his words, Luo continued, "I greatly admire your Dao. Your Dao is clearer and at a higher level than Zuo Shanyi's."

Zuo Shanyi's Demonic Path Universe also drew inspiration from my Great Demonic Source Law. Although he is not bad now, I think it will be difficult for him to take the ninth step of the Vast Ninth Realm.

But you are different; your path has the potential to reach the ninth step of the vast Dao. Of course, this will require some assistance.

Ding Huan said calmly, "So, you're the help I need?"

Luo nodded: "That's right, I'm that help. Of course, we complement each other. I know a lot of things you don't, and I know where you should go next."

"You've worked with Zuo Shanyi before, and you're the one who told Zuo Shanyi what he knew?"

"It was just a matter of mutual exploitation; some of the things he knew were told to him by me."

"Did you know he was hiding nearby, preparing to ambush you? If I hadn't suddenly appeared, you would have been ambushed sooner or later, right?"

After a long silence, Luo Hou said, "I didn't expect him to ambush me, but even if he did, I have my own methods."

Of course, we can talk about these things later. Right now, we need to deal with the people outside.

Ding Huan was startled. He knew the man in hemp clothing was here because he had set up his own source rules outside.

How did Luo know someone was coming from outside?

Seeing Ding Huan's expression, Luo knew what was going on. He sighed and said, "You really knew someone was coming outside. It seems you've set up Yuanze outside."

You probably guessed that I hadn't left and was hiding here because the source rules you set up hadn't been touched by me, right?

Ding Huan had to admire how clever this guy was; his guess was spot on.

"Then how did you know someone had come from outside?" Ding Huan asked.

Luo's voice was low and deep: "Because I almost died at his hands, I could clearly sense even the slightest movement of his body. Not only me, but you almost died at his hands too. This man is called Taixu. Now you should understand—"

'

Taixu?

Ding Huan narrowed his eyes, staring at Luo, his tone icy: "You're a disciple of Taixu?"

When he was tricked by the Pijuan Dao Nian, the Pijuan Dao Nian bewitched him, saying that he was actually the reincarnation of Taixu and that Luohou was his disciple.

If it weren't for his unwavering Dao heart, and his absolute disbelief that he would do something so drastic as to harm innocent star continents during a great calamity, he would have genuinely doubted himself.

A glint flashed in Luo Hou's eyes: "I did indeed obtain some Daoist techniques from him, but it was an equal exchange."

"Be my master? Ha! Does he even deserve it?"

Ding Huan could sense through his own Source Principles that Tai Xu was frantically setting up various Source Principle restrictions.

This guy's physical body was destroyed by him and Mo Wuji using the Dao Bead, but he recovered so quickly.

Moreover, judging from Taixu's appearance, not only has his physical body recovered, but his strength is almost no less than that of a third-level cultivator.

In other words, this guy is also at the ninth step of the Vast Great Dao?

How is this cultivated?

Ding Huan was somewhat suspicious. He frowned and looked at Luo: "Fellow Daoist Luo, I know Taixu. He plotted against me before."

My friend and I later attacked him, and his physical body was completely destroyed by us. Even if he had many treasures and strong abilities, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly.

Besides, I've seen Taixu before, and this guy in front of me doesn't look like Taixu at all.

Ding Huan had indeed met Taixu. Although Taixu was treacherous, his appearance was quite deceptive; he had a kind and honest face.

The monk in hemp robes in front of me had a fierce look on his face, and his eyes were as thin as two black lines.

Luo Yan remained unmoved by Ding Huan's words: "Fellow Daoist Ding, do you know the origins of Taixu?"

Without waiting for Ding Huan's reply, he continued, "Back in the beginning, after a certain chaotic mass separated in the Ninth Universe, three thousand demon gods were born."

Besides these three thousand demon gods, there is also a Dao Spirit. Do you know who this Dao Spirit is?

"That Dao Spirit is Tai Xu?"

Ding Huan had heard of this, because it was Pi Juan Dao Nian who told him these things.

Luo said calmly, "Yes, he has countless clones and billions of appearances. No one knows what he actually looks like, and he also has a nickname: the Immortal."

If you still don't know him, then you should know the Lord of the Nine Heavens, that's him too—”

Ding Huan was stunned. Hongjun was Taixu?

How can this be?

Seeing Ding Huan's astonished expression, Luo continued, "Logically speaking, in the early stages of the universe's chaos, it would be the limit for three hundred demon gods to be born."

Even a universe like the Ninth Universe, which evolved directly from the vast initial division, could not possibly have three thousand demon gods, let alone Dao spirits.

How could an insignificant microcosm beneath the Ninth Universe, within the Nine Heavens, give birth to three thousand Demon Gods and one Dao Spirit?

These questions truly touched upon areas where Ding Huan's knowledge was lacking, and he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I still have a question to ask you."

Luo Hou said, "If I had been hiding in the Ninth Universe before, I wouldn't have known either. It was only after I left the Ninth Universe and entered the vastness that I realized we were all just cannon fodder."

When the vastness was first divided, do you know who was the strongest being beneath it?

"The One Element of Stillness?" Ding Huan asked.

"Not entirely correct. In addition to the Primordial Universe, the Dao Spirit that was born at the same time as the Great Divide of Heaven and Earth also included the Primordial Spirit of Heaven and Earth."

For some unknown reason, the Vast Primordial Spirit was suppressed by the Primordial Silence, and in the end, it was even inferior to the Dao Spirit born in the later stages of the Vast Primordial Spirit.

But the Vast Primordial Spirit was no pushover. He knew the situation was wrong and that continuing would only lead to his death, so he used the Meteorite to escape from the Vast Primordial Central Hub.

When he left, he took with him many vast primordial spirits, and he was worried that the goal of the Ninth Universe was too great.

Fortunately, countless years after the birth of the Ninth Universe, a new microcosm was created again with the help of these vast primordial spirits.

Because there were too many primordial spirits, three thousand demon gods were born. The vast primordial spirit is the Dao spirit that appeared alongside the three thousand demon gods.

Actually, as one of the three thousand demon gods, I too can be considered a product of the vast primordial spirit. However, the three thousand demon gods were merely stepping stones for the vast primordial spirit's growth.

"If that's the case, why does the vast primordial spirit still remain in that small universe of the Nine Heavens below the Ninth Universe?"

Shouldn't he have arrived in the Vast Expanse long ago? Why wait until today? Or rather, until the cosmic eon before leaving?

Ding Huan asked.

Luo Hou shook his head: "Because after he re-evolved his Dao Spirit body, his memories were not complete. Therefore, he needs to perfect his memories and search for them along the way."

The fragmented source laws brought about by the cosmic cataclysm reminded him of many things, which is why he chose to leave his original place.

I left the Ninth Universe with him. At first, he was still searching for his memories, but later he was probably perfecting his own Vast Path.

However, his ambitions were too great, and I gradually caught up with him.

"1

Ding Huan remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Luo's words, but deep down he felt that there were many loopholes in Luo's words, and that there were some lies in them.

This guy is just trapped in the Source Realm and wants to be released.

(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
