SWNOVELXO Chapter 714: Falling Out
No matter how Ding Huan ridiculed him, Lao Liu remained unfazed.
No matter how formidable you might be, Ding Huan, today you won't escape.
Even if the Holy Master of the Dao Court, Ku Yuan the Great Emperor, and the Buddha Master of Bi Yuan weren't here, this new master Wuzha wouldn't let Ding Huan go.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Ding to be old acquaintances with this monkey," a voice laughed heartily. It was Zhang Boyan, the Court Pillar beside Ku Yuan the Great Emperor, who spoke.
Ding Huan initially thought this Zhang Boyan was at most a Quasi-Saint, but when he laughed heartily, Ding Huan immediately detected a Dao Rhythm fluctuation in the space.
This guy wasn't a Quasi-Saint, but someone whose cultivation was no weaker than that of Ku Yuan the Great Emperor.
If Ku Yuan the Great Emperor was truly a Saint, then this Zhang Boyan should also be a Saint.
This guy, a Saint, concealing himself as a Quasi-Saint weaker than Bai Shao, who knows what he's up to.
"Mr. Ding, I heard that Divine Spirit Rice has appeared in the Abandoned Land. Is this true?" Ku Yuan eagerly asked.
Divine Spirit Rice was too important to him as the Great Emperor.
The reason for such an unabashed inquiry was because, in his eyes, the two Quasi-Saints and one Divine King beside Ding Huan were nothing.
Holy Dao City of the Eternal God had long been locked by his Forbidden Array, and Ding Huan, staying in the Eternal God Rest Tower, couldn't fly away even with wings.
If Ding Huan didn't listen, he wouldn't mind erasing him.
"Indeed, there is such a thing," Ding Huan immediately admitted.
Hearing that there was indeed Divine Spirit Rice, even the newly arrived Wuzha became excited.
The Divine Spirit Rice, it's something that everyone in the Dao Court is eager to obtain.
Because after the Heaven and Earth Calamity, the Dao Court also has broken Heaven and Earth Rules.
However, compared to the Land of Three Gods, the impact on the Dao Court was relatively small.
The Dao Court isn't very big, and in such a small place, finding a stable place to cultivate is very difficult.
Only by becoming powerful can one have a foothold in the Dao Court.
With such competition, everyone was crazily enhancing their power.
What to do when Heaven and Earth Rules are scarce and it's hard to elevate one's realm? Of course, use various top-grade spiritual items.
Fortunately, the Dao Court has the greatest expansive resource land, the Dao Ruins.
With the Dao Ruins, every treasure you wish for is available.
In fact, this Dao Ruins is the same Dao Ruins accessible from the Land of Three Gods.
But the Dao Ruins in the Land of Three Gods and the Dao Court's Dao Ruins are separated by colossal Divine Valleys like the Eternal God Abyss.
The Dao Ruins in the Land of Three Gods are left with nothing but barren brown soil.
The only place with some good items, the Reincarnation Swamp, is inaccessible due to the Descent Law.
The truly valuable parts are all in the Dao Ruins on the Dao Court's side.
The Dao Ruins in the Dao Court not only have various top-grade Divine Spiritual Grass but also numerous Great Dao Fortune Treasures.
This is also one reason why the Dao Court looks down on the Land of Three Gods, treating it as the Abandoned Land.
The Land of Three Gods is much larger than the Dao Court, with ten times its population.
If all these people surged into the Dao Ruins on this side of the Dao Court, the cultivation resources would be squandered.
Because the Dao Ruins are teeming with Divine Spiritual Grass and cultivation treasures.
So everyone was desperately consuming pills.
In the Dao Court, there are more Divine Pill Masters than anywhere else.
Every realm is piled upon with various Divine Pills.
Over time, from Saints down to the Cultivation Realm, and even some Immortal Emperors, they all suffer from incurable Poison of Dan.
An abundance of Poison of Dan leads to stagnation in realm progression and a lack of insight.
While there are many treasures to alleviate Poison of Dan, not everyone can afford them.
Adding to the years of depletion, even Saints are lacking in treasures to alleviate Poison of Dan.
Divine Spirit Rice, however, is the best remedy for the Poison of Dan, not only because it's easy to cultivate and can regenerate quickly.
Moreover, Divine Spirit Rice is priced so cheaply that anyone can afford it.
Additionally, Divine Spirit Rice can also enhance one's insight into the Great Dao.
Who doesn't crave such a good and cheap thing?
Ku Yuan the Great Emperor stood up, speaking sincerely:
"As the Master of the Dao Court, I'm deeply concerned about the myriad cultivators in the Dao Court suffering from the Poison of Dan.
Would Mr. Ding be willing to take out the Divine Spirit Rice, to rescue the myriad Dao Court cultivators, freeing them from the harm of the Poison of Dan, and benefiting a whole realm?"
Ding Huan laughed heartily and said, "What the Great Emperor says aligns exactly with my thoughts."
After Ku Yuan the Great Emperor sat down, he said with joy, "Mr. Ding is truly an exemplar among us cultivators. On behalf of the myriad Dao Court cultivators, I thank Mr. Ding."
Ding Huan replied in earnest, "Great Emperor, it's not right to say so. This is what I ought to do and what I wish to do; there's no need for thanks.
Today, with both the Great Emperor and the Buddha Master present, let me also express my plan. I intend to use ten thousand Top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, one hundred thousand top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, and three Innate Treasures to suppress the Eternal God Abyss.
Arranging a top-grade Big Array at the crescent arc top of the Eternal God Abyss, linking the Dao Court with the Land of Three Gods.
This way, the Heaven and Earth Rules of the Three-God Land will suddenly improve, and the cultivators there will benefit as a result.
The second step is to bring the Divine Spirit Rice from the Three-God Land to the Dao Court, benefiting its billions of cultivators.
The third step is to establish new Holy Dao Cities on both sides of the Eternal God Abyss, promoting the Great Dao so all Dao Court and Three-God Land cultivators are free from worries."
Initially, Ding Huan only named Ku Yuan Great Emperor and Bi Yuan Buddha Master, without mentioning himself, which made Wuzha feel extremely displeased.
Now, hearing Ding Huan taking out so many things, he instantly put aside those displeasures.
Excitement surged; is Ding Huan really so wealthy?
If he could find Ding Huan alone first, why would he need to share with Ku Yuan Great Emperor and Bi Yuan, this fake Buddhist cultivator?
Not only was Wuzha excited, but everyone in the room was frightened by Ding Huan's offerings.
Readily presenting ten thousand top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and a hundred thousand top-grade Divine Spirit Veins, along with three pieces of Innate Treasures, this generosity...
Ku Yuan Great Emperor exclaimed, "I never thought Mr. Ding was so wealthy. I have an idea; why not let Mr. Ding establish a dojo at the Dao Court.
As for those items, just produce them, and I'll use the Dao Court's power to help Mr. Ding spread the cultivation of Divine Spirit Rice, ensuring considerable merit for Mr. Ding.
As for the Abandoned Land, the Heaven and Earth Rules here are simply too deficient, lacking integration with the Dao Court's significance, so it's better to set it aside temporarily. How does Mr. Ding feel about this?"
Ding Huan calmly said, "I don't think it's right. Bi Yuan Buddha Master, doesn't your Buddhist path believe in the equality of all living beings? If all beings are equal, why abandon the creatures of the Three-God Land?
I, Ding Huan, sit here for all the cultivators living on this land, not abandoning anyone.
Should a Dao Court cultivator be treated as human, while those from the Three-God Land can be abandoned?"
"Right, I think Mr. Ding speaks correctly."
Bi Yuan Buddha Master immediately agreed with Ding Huan and then transmitted to Ku Yuan Great Emperor:
"Holy Master, let's first get hold of Ding Huan's items. As for the rest, once we have the items, it'll be up to us…"
Bi Yuan Buddha Master's face turned somewhat unsightly after speaking a few words.
He didn't expect his transmission would directly become spoken aloud.
Clearly, Ding Huan's group had set up a Forbidden Array here, preventing transmissions.
The array isolation was arranged quite insidiously, only amplifying the message after several words had been spoken.
It's evident Ding Huan has a top-notch Array Dao expert on his side.
Ku Yuan Great Emperor's face tightened and said, "Bi Yuan Buddha Master, this matter must be led by Mr. Ding Huan."
After speaking, he turned to Ding Huan: "Mr. Ding, you produce the things, and we will jointly oversee these items…"
Not waiting for Ku Yuan Great Emperor to finish, Ding Huan waved his hand:
"Great Emperor might misunderstand my intention. No matter how wealthy I, Ding Huan, am, I can't produce so many things. My point is, this matter benefits both Dao Court and Three-God Land.
I, Ding Huan, represent the Three-God Land and offer two Innate Treasures and Divine Spirit Rice, while Dao Court should provide one Innate Treasure, along with ten thousand top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and a hundred thousand top-grade Divine Spirit Veins."
Ku Yuan Great Emperor frowned at Ding Huan: "Mr. Ding, speaking until now, are you making a pass at us?"
Ding Huan calmly said, "Our Three-God Land is the Dao Court's Abandoned Land. We, the Abandoned Land, are offering two Innate Treasures and Divine Spirit Rice.
Great Emperor, being the Dao Court's master, a single Innate Treasure and some Divine Spirit Veins—does this count as making a pass at us for you?
Or is Great Emperor demanding we produce everything, establish everything, and then you take over?"
Ku Yuan Great Emperor was also choked by Ding Huan's words.
This was indeed his meaning; that is, Ding Huan should just give him the items, and as for connecting Dao Court and Abandoned Land, forget it.
"Mr. Ding, if that's the case, hand me the Dao Court's Mystic Star Banner first." Understanding Ding Huan's intention, Ku Yuan lost interest in saying more.
If Ding Huan doesn't comply, then don't blame him for being impolite.
Bi Yuan Buddha Master said nothing, just watched Ding Huan; he was here naturally for the Great Accomplishment Buddhist Alms Bowl.
Ding Huan calmly said, "These two items are like ship fares. If the two are unclear, take a look at the Crystal Ball first."
Ding Huan raised his hand and tossed out a Crystal Ball.
In the Crystal Ball, Yi Han and Suo Gu Venerable very politely took out their Flying Treasures, insisting Ding Huan accept them, stating if Ding Huan didn't accept, their consciences would be uneasy.
Ku Yuan Great Emperor stood up for the second time, coldly staring at Ding Huan:
"Ding Huan, since you're unwilling to return the Dao Court's Innate Treasure, don't blame me for being impolite."
With that, he directly raised his hand, reaching toward Ding Huan.
As Ku Yuan Great Emperor acted, the others also summoned their Magical Treasures.
Wuzha rushed towards Ding Huan.
He came here specifically to capture Ding Huan, knowing from Lao Liu's words that Ding Huan holds vast secrets.
Ding Huan absolutely cannot fall into Ku Yuan's hands.
Seeing Ding Huan didn't choose to leave, Hou Hen Divine Emperor and Leng Qingdie simultaneously summoned their Attack Treasures.
Hou Hen Divine Emperor's golden brick hit Ku Yuan Great Emperor's Hand Seal, Dao Rhythm exploded.
Boom!
As the battle began, the entire Eternal God Rest Tower turned to dust.
Ding Huan scattered out the Array Flags; even if he had to leave, he intended to fight first.
(Good night, fellow Daoists!)
