Chapter 710: Er Gou
The Heavenly Soul Saint had already fused with his own body, and after swallowing several top-level Dao Fruits, he stared at Ding Huan in horror.
At this moment, his Dao Rhythm was somewhat chaotic, and his power fell from Saint to Quasi-Saint.
This fall wasn't due to the Eternal God Abyss; even if he leaves the Eternal God Abyss now, without the suppression of the Heaven and Earth Rules, he is no longer a Saint.
He is not a Body Refining Practitioner, so his physical body affects him greatly.
If it hadn't been for that black dog falling from the Eternal God Peak just now, he might have perished completely.
Moreover, he was sure he had already been poisoned, a very terrifying Law Poison.
Ding Huan stepped forward again, and his domain was about to lock onto the Heavenly Soul Saint.
In desperation, the Heavenly Soul Saint continued to retreat, shouting loudly:
"Mr. Ding, this time, it's my fault. As long as you spare me, I am willing to tell you everything you want to know.
Not only that, but I can also tell you how to use the Cosmic Core on the top of the Eternal God Peak."
The reason he said this was because he was sure Ding Huan had already acquired the Cosmic Core.
Cosmic Core?
Ding Huan was stunned, wasn't it the Heart of the Universe?
Even Leng Qingdie, far away, was a bit dazed, snapping out of the shock of Ding Huan severely injuring the Heavenly Soul Saint.
The news she received was about the Heart of the Universe. How did it become the Cosmic Core?
"Not the Heart of the Universe?" Ding Huan asked casually.
The Heavenly Soul Saint didn't even set conditions and directly said:
"The Heart of the Universe and the Cosmic Core are completely different. The Heart of the Universe can even be used for cultivation, while the Cosmic Core has only one purpose, to repair the Tao Universe.
Of course, I'm simplifying it; this is a Jade Scroll, Mr. Ding can take a look."
As he spoke, the Heavenly Soul Saint threw a Jade Scroll to Ding Huan.
His inner fear of Ding Huan couldn't be expressed in words.
Because he had fought Ding Huan before, he knew that Ding Huan was now in the Divine King Realm.
A Divine King Realm who arrived at the Eternal God Peak for just one year had comprehended all the Heaven and Earth Rules and could withstand him, a Saint.
If Ding Huan also advanced to Saint, even Quasi-Saint, how could he fight Ding Huan?
As for whether Ding Huan could prove the Dao as a Saint, he had no doubt at all.
If even Ding Huan's talent and aptitude couldn't prove the Dao as a Saint, then Saints would already be extinct.
So he not only wanted to survive, but he also didn't want to continue being enemies with Ding Huan.
The things on the top of the Eternal God Peak were taken by Ding Huan, so there was no point for him to stay here.
"Mr. Ding, in this place, I am no match for you. However, I have an Escape Talisman, and if I decide to leave, even if your strength advances further, you won't be able to stop me in an instant.
This matter was because I heeded others' slander, so I acted against you, Mr. Ding. If you are willing to let it go, these compensations will be my amends to you."
After speaking, the Heavenly Soul Saint pulled out a ring and threw it to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan scanned it with Divine Will, and when he saw there were one hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and ten top-grade Divine Spirit Veins inside the ring, he immediately swept the ring into his hand.
He looked at the Heavenly Soul Saint with a gaze that had grown more fervent.
This guy is so wealthy, if he could open his world, he might gain a great fortune.
Top-grade Divine Spirit Veins and top-grade Divine Spirit Veins are not something he lacks; to casually take out a hundred and ten Spirit Veins means he's generally wealthy?
The Heavenly Soul Saint said nothing more, he just calmly watched Ding Huan.
He did everything he needed to do. If Ding Huan still wanted to attack him, he could only escape immediately.
He had a Breakthrough Talisman on hand, even if this was the Eternal God Abyss, he could break the interface and escape.
"In that case, let's forget the matter," Ding Huan, knowing he couldn't capture the Heavenly Soul Saint, generously said.
The Heavenly Soul Saint finally sighed in relief hearing Ding Huan's words.
"Heavenly Soul Daoist, I still have one more question to ask," Ding Huan recalled about the Dao Court.
The Heavenly Soul Saint immediately cupped his fists, "Please, Mr. Ding. I will speak all I know."
"I heard that the Dao Court is filled with masters, with Taoist Sects everywhere. Is that true?"
Hearing Ding Huan ask this, the Heavenly Soul Saint disdainfully said, "They are just struggling to survive, I have no interest in staying within the Dao Court."
Hearing this, Ding Huan instantly regained his spirits.
Casually grabbing two stone chairs and a stone table, "Heavenly Soul Daoist, please sit, let us chat in detail."
As he spoke, Ding Huan even took out a teacup and poured a cup of Divine Spirit Tea for the Heavenly Soul Saint.
Not feeling any killing intent from Ding Huan, the Heavenly Soul Saint sighed in relief and sat down.
He was already poisoned, drinking a cup of tea would only mean being more poisoned, what did it matter?
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Soul Saint picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.
What shocked him was that after drinking this cup of tea, the Poison Dao Law within his body was dissolving rapidly.
The Heavenly Soul Saint immediately realized what was going on; Ding Huan, in order to make him speak freely, actually cured his poison.
This was indeed Ding Huan's intention.
Since he couldn't kill the Heavenly Soul Saint now, and he needed the Heavenly Soul Saint to speak about the Dao Court in detail, why not be generous?
He might as well help the Heavenly Soul Saint remove the poison.
Anyway, after he left, as a Saint, Tianpo could also undo these poisons, it just took a little time.
"The Dao Court originally had a name. Many years ago, a group of people came here and upon their arrival, they renamed the Dao Court to the Nine Heavens Court.
However, the Nine Heavens was simply not recognized by the Heavenly Dao here, and they were unwilling to acknowledge the original name, so they just called it the Dao Court.
Because they couldn't receive recognition from the Heavenly Dao, part of this group left, while some remained.
At this point, the Heavenly Soul Saint laughed softly and pointed with his hand, "Originally, the place where the Human Tribe lived was the Land of the Three Gods, but after the Calamity, two more Divine Valleys appeared."
Not only that, but the Heaven and Earth Rules also became weaker, allowing advancement only up to the Divine King Realm.
Those people from the Dao Court were so arrogant that they no longer acknowledged the Land of the Three Gods and abandoned it. After all, in the Divine World where the Dao Court is located, they can still prove themselves as Saints."
Ding Huan roughly understood some things, it should be that the Taoist Ancestor brought many Immortal Gods from the Nine Heavens to the Dao Court.
Although the Great Dao Rules in the Dao Court were fine, and even Saints could be proven, the Heavenly Dao here did not recognize these Immortal Gods from the Nine Heavens.
Some people were unwilling to wander anymore, so they settled in the Dao Court and established various Dao Platforms.
Others left the Dao Court, possibly going to another place.
Ding Huan inquired about some situations regarding the sects and order in the Dao Court, then stood up ready to leave.
The Heavenly Soul Saint had been trapped here for nearly two hundred thousand years and was unaware of many things.
"Let's go." Ding Huan stood up, preparing to control the Cosmic Pot to leave.
No matter what the situation was in the Dao Court, he planned to go there and see for himself.
They looked down on and even abandoned the Land of the Three Gods, but now, seeing that the Land of the Three Gods had Divine Spirit Rice, wanted to come and take advantage of it.
They even planned to kill all living beings in the Land of the Three Gods to do so.
He just did not believe that the Dao Court was so powerful.
Suddenly, the black dog rushed over: "Friend, can you take me with you?"
"How dare a beast like you call Mr. Huan friend, Master Jie will smack you, you little garbage."
After saying this, Yi Jie rushed up and slapped it with his paw.
Ding Huan clearly felt that after Yi Jie slapped, a strange Daoist Skill converged instantly, and then he really saw the black dog being slapped away.
Although the black dog was heavily injured, its strength was clearly superior to Yi Jie. It came rushing back, bowing to Ding Huan: "Mr. Huan, can you take me with you?"
"Why should I take you?" Ding Huan looked at the black dog in front of him.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Soul Saint being present, he would not speak so harshly. If it hadn't been for this black dog, he would have killed the Heavenly Soul Saint just now.
"I can locate the Chaos Divine Spirit Veins." The black dog said urgently.
Ding Huan was surprised in his heart; Chaos Divine Spirit Veins was something only heard in legends.
Top-grade Divine Spirit Veins could be obtained, but Chaos Divine Spirit Veins had to be nurtured in the presence of Chaotic Aura.
Not far away, the Heavenly Soul Saint, upon hearing this, also stared at the black dog in astonishment.
He knew there was a dog on the Eternal God Peak.
If he had known this dog could find Chaos Divine Spirit Veins, he would have taken action to capture it long ago.
"My kind heart directs me, stay by my side then."
Upon hearing Ding Huan's words, the black dog excitedly flew onto the Cosmic Pot.
Yi Jie glanced disdainfully at the black dog, thinking to himself that this little trash had some insight.
The Cosmic Pot swirled up into a remnant shadow and disappeared into the Eternal God Abyss.
Seeing Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot vanish, the Heavenly Soul Saint's face turned cold.
He turned and looked at Ji Xinguan, who stood trembling not far away, and struck out with a Hand Seal.
This fellow almost made him fall here. Without killing him, he wouldn't be satisfied.
Ji Xinguan felt a flash of despair and could only watch as the Hand Seal tore him into pieces.
The others, seeing Ji Xinguan's end, were all as silent as cicadas in the cold and retreated.
...
"What's your name?" In the Cosmic Pot, Ding Huan looked at the black dog before him.
"I'm willing to follow Mr. Huan. Please give me a name, Mr. Huan."
Yi Jie said disdainfully: "Why the flattery? You have a name, just say it."
"I have no name, I was born on the Eternal God Peak." The black dog said angrily.
Why does this pig always have such a poor opinion of me?
"You were born on the Eternal God Peak? Then how did you fall from it?" Ding Huan looked at the black dog in amazement.
The black dog replied mournfully: "I sensed the vanishing Heart of the Universe, so I wanted to rush up and see what was happening, but ended up stepping into nothingness..."
Ding Huan knew that it was not stepping into empty space, but into Nihility Space.
"When did the Eternal God Abyss appear, do you know?" Ding Huan inquired further.
The black dog nodded: "I know, it was during the World-ending Calamity, when the Divine World shattered, leading to the appearance of the Eternal God Abyss. The reason the Eternal God Peak exists is that it is filled with Chaotic Aura..."
"The entire interior of the Eternal God Peak is filled with Chaotic Aura?" Ding Huan exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, but Mr. Huan, you cannot open it now. You must at least prove yourself a Saint before you can tear apart the Forbidden Pattern of the Eternal God Peak."
"Very well, you've been good. From now on, you'll be called Er-gou." Ding Huan patted the black dog's head.
(Goodnight, friend!)
