SWNOVELXO Chapter 647: Possession Dao Principle
Ding Huan ended his closed-door cultivation to enhance his Illusion Eye, while more and more people gathered on Dao Ruins Street.
Top-grade Divine Spirit Rice appeared on Dao Ruins Street. Although no one had seen this grain, it indeed made an appearance.
Another incident was half a year ago when someone was able to enter the Reincarnation Swamp without sinking, which drove people crazy.
Either of these two events would make all the sects in the Divine World flock with eagerness.
The one who owned the top-grade Divine Spirit Rice was a loose cultivator merchant, but this merchant seemed to have disappeared after being taken by the Feiyang Commerce.
The president of Feiyang Commerce, Chang Feiyang, also went missing under the siege of many strong individuals, his fate now unknown.
Thus, the Divine Spirit Rice faded into obscurity.
Now, some can enter the Reincarnation Swamp without sinking and even return to the swamp shore voluntarily; such an ability is simply what every great sect dreams of having.
The key is that the cultivator who can avoid sinking into the Reincarnation Swamp seems to be not an unknown figure.
Because, he claimed to know Feng Baiqing of the Nine Peaks Divine Sect.
As a large group of strong individuals rushed into the Dao Ruins, more people swarmed Dao Ruins Street.
Under such circumstances, it's quite remarkable that Dao Ruins Street hasn't been overcrowded.
...
Ding Huan ceased his closed cultivation; with two Divine Muhe, his Spiritual Eye advanced to the ninth level of the Heavenly Eye.
Ding Huan didn't continue using the third Divine Muhe; he knew that advancing from the Heavenly Eye to the Holy Eye might not be achievable with Divine Muhe alone.
Ding Huan decided to continue his closed-door cultivation for a while longer, then return to the Dao Ruins.
This time, since Ji Yue was absent, Ding Huan casually threw Yi Jie out during his closed-door session.
"Mr. Huan, this... why are we still here?" Yi Jie thought Ding Huan had arrived at a new place, only to find they're still cultivating in this desolate Dao Ruins.
"It's not the same place. I plan to cultivate for a while. You should hurry and upgrade to a second-level Divine Beast, or your cultivation will be too low," said Ding Huan casually, waving Yi Jie aside.
He set up a mid-grade Divine Spirit Vein, but he dared not place the dark attribute Divine Spirit Vein.
This thing is too sensitive. If discovered, it wouldn't be catastrophic, but it would certainly be troublesome.
The dark attribute Dao Principle might be fine for ordinary cultivators, but once someone who cultivates dark attributes notices it, they'll surely target him.
With his current level of Array Dao and understanding of dark laws, he couldn't completely use the Protecting Array to seal off the aura of dark laws.
In the blink of an eye, another year passed during his closed-door cultivation.
Ding Huan's cultivation reached the eighth level of the Heavenly God Realm.
Yi Jie finally transcended tribulation and became a second-level Divine Beast.
Ding Huan lost interest in continued closed-door cultivation.
Compared to his previous rate of cultivation improvement, this time was much too slow.
As his cultivation advanced, he increasingly felt the rules of heaven and earth here were too mottled.
If he were cultivating in a better place, he would likely have reached the peak of the Heavenly God Realm, or even stepped into the Divine Monarch Realm by now.
A year to advance from the seventh level to the eighth level of the Heavenly God Realm.
To others, it might be delightful; to Ding Huan, it was ridiculously slow.
"Let's go, Yi Jie." Ding Huan took away the mid-grade Divine Spirit Vein and casually threw Yi Jie into the Five Elements World.
He decided to leave this place.
He didn't want to stay long on Dao Ruins Street either.
It would be best to find a way to go to the Upper God Land and find a place to resume closed-door cultivation.
If he could join a sect, he would.
If he couldn't join a sect, he had Luck Stones, and he could set up a cultivation cave mansion.
Ding Huan intended to disguise himself to leave the Dao Ruins, but he hesitated when he reached the Dao Ruins exit.
With his current cultivation level, would he even have the right to speak once he left?
After hesitating for a long time, Ding Huan finally hid to the side, waiting for a Heaven God Realm practitioner to leave the Dao Ruins at which point he quickly placed a Monitoring Array mark on him.
After this cultivator left the Dao Ruins, Ding Huan immediately saw the fleeting scene through the Monitoring Array mark, which then failed.
For Ding Huan, that was enough.
At the exit of the Dao Ruins, there were not only guards but also special magical treasures used for detecting.
These detection magical treasures are used to see if a cultivator has shape-shifted.
Ding Huan did not continue out; he was almost certain these people were targeting him.
The reason being his ability to walk in the Reincarnation Swamp.
With so many Luck Stones in the Reincarnation Swamp, knowing he could walk through it, it's likely no one would be willing to let him go.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan resolutely turned around and entered back into the Dao Ruins.
Although he made an ancient talisman, he couldn't rely entirely on this ancient talisman.
To rely on this talisman, first, others need to believe it, and second, others must be reasonable and have limits.
What if those without limits see the talisman and still want to take him away?
Counting on others to have boundaries in this place? How is that different from a joke?
So he must ensure he can get away in front of a Divine King, otherwise he wouldn't even make it out of Dao Ruins Street.
A day later, Ding Huan stopped the Cosmic Pot and looked for a new place to cultivate.
Without advancing to the Divine Monarch Realm, he had no chance of leaving Dao Ruins Street.
For this cultivation period, Ding Huan set up a Divine Array that not only implanted a mid-grade Divine Spirit Vein, but he even risked placing a top-grade dark attribute Divine Spirit Vein.
Additionally, he implanted a Luck Stone.
No matter how dangerous Dao Ruins is, it couldn't be more dangerous than going out.
One must endure some extent of danger after all.
Sure enough, with the blessing of the Luck Stone and the Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins.
When Ding Huan was cultivating, the Heaven and Earth Divine Spirit Qi became easier to absorb and integrate, and the comprehension of the Taoism also became increasingly clear.
The understanding of the Dark Law Attribute was also improving by leaps and bounds.
In half a year, Ding Huan broke through to the ninth level of the Heavenly God Realm.
A year later, Ding Huan advanced to the tenth level of the Heavenly God Realm…
Six years passed in the blink of an eye, and Ding Huan's cultivation reached the twelfth-level perfection of the Heavenly God Realm.
Even with the Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins and the Luck Stone, cultivation here still slowed down as he progressed further.
It's not just because the Heaven and Earth Rules in the Dao Ruins are vague, but also because the amount of Heaven and Earth Divine Spirit Qi Ding Huan needed for his advancement was too great.
Just reaching the full stage of the Heavenly God Realm, his Mid Grade Divine Spirit Veins were significantly consumed.
Although some of it was wasted, the primary reason was that Ding Huan needed too much Divine Origin for his cultivation.
A Mid Grade Divine Spirit Vein could not be consumed even by a sect in ten years.
Ding Huan alone consumed a significant portion of it.
However, the Divine Spirit Veins of the sect are complementary. When absorbed, they form a Gathering Spirit Divine Array with surrounding Divine Spirit Veins, then replenish by absorbing the Heaven and Earth's Divine Spirit Qi.
Ding Huan spent six years advancing to the full Heavenly God Realm.
Instead of being anxious, he remained calm.
He knew that if he rushed to transcend the tribulation and advance to Divine Monarch now,
the speed of cultivation improvement would slow down after reaching the Divine Monarch Realm.
Like when he built his Foundation Establishment, only by laying a good foundation would subsequent cultivation become easier.
Ding Huan chose to continue in seclusion to stabilize his Heavenly God foundation.
At this moment, a sudden thought appeared without warning:
Advance, advance… only by advancing to Divine Monarch can one have powerful strength.
Ding Huan possesses the Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe. Even the owner of the leather scroll was killed by him.
Such an abnormal situation, Ding Huan immediately noticed something wrong.
What's happening?
The leather scroll owner was absolutely destroyed by him, not only that, even during his Divine Essence nurturing, he completely cut off any Dao Thought and Divine Skills from the scroll owner.
Ding Huan was absolutely confident in this.
If that's the case, why is he still being disturbed by other thoughts?
This is because he has a Tao Sea of Consciousness, and his Divine Will is so powerful that it's beyond what a Heavenly God Realm cultivator can possess, allowing him to detect the inappropriateness of the voice.
Otherwise, he would have undoubtedly chosen to transcend the tribulation and advance to Divine Monarch immediately.
The consciousness urging him to advance to Divine Monarch was persistently confusing and blurring his mind.
Ding Huan's thoughts spun wildly, realizing he indeed had a problem.
Everything was fine before, so why is there a problem this time?
Ding Huan immediately thought of the Luck Stone.
During this seclusion, he had implanted a Luck Stone into his Big Array.
But Ding Huan soon dismissed the possibility of the Luck Stone. Without hesitation, he removed the Dark Attribute Divine Spirit Veins and sealed them, then threw them into the Five Elements World.
He was certain it was an issue with this Divine Spirit Vein.
Upon reclaiming this Divine Spirit Vein, the mental urge to become a Divine Monarch intensified.
A surge of darkness approached, Ding Huan's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a blood arrow.
Is this an attempt to possess him?
He has no Primordial Spirit. It's a dream to possess him.
To Ding Huan's surprise, the entity trying to control his consciousness turned out to be a Dao Principle...
Although Ding Huan's cultivation is low, he is the clearest in his level about the comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws.
A Dao Principle trying to possess him sounds utterly ridiculous, yet it happened to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan felt that the Heaven and Earth Rules within his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe were being tainted by the Dark Dao Principle.
His comprehension of the Great Dao is gradually blurring as well.
The Great Universe Technique Circulation became sluggish…
Frenziedly, Ding Huan forced his consciousness to remain clear, activating the Heavenly Thunder Daoist Skill in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe.
As the first Heavenly Thunder exploded in his Sea of Consciousness, the Star Bridge began to tremble, the Milky Way surged, and the starry sky started to sway…
"Continuing like this will lead to the complete destruction of my Divine Soul..."
The perception from the depths of his consciousness continued transmitting clearly.
Ding Huan seemed unaware of his potential doom, as the Heavenly Thunders conjured by the Heavenly Thunder Daoist Skill only grew stronger.
As Ding Huan kept spitting blood arrows, he eventually fainted.
Even with Ding Huan unconscious, the Heavenly Thunder Arcs in his Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe continued their rampage.
In Ding Huan's subconsciousness, there was only one rule: he could die, but he must not be possessed and would never be a puppet.
...
Dao Ruins Street.
Three hundred years have passed since Ding Huan came here.
The place is still bustling with people.
A woman with a worn expression arrived at the window to purchase an Array Token for entry into the Dao Ruins.
However, she was captivated by a wanted poster beside the window.
"Ding Huan, Loose Cultivator, briefly joined the Green Thunder Divine Dao Sect of the Lower God Land. For killing sect disciples of the Upper God Land without permission, stealing the Luck Stone..."
