Chapter 870: Chapter 870
Following Ding Huan's departure from the Blue Star Sect, even after he controlled the Cosmic Pot to escape, Jia Baihe still couldn't believe it.
No matter how Ding Huan shape-shifted, she had an intuition that told her the person before her was indeed Ding Huan.
"Baihe..." Ding Huan also felt emotional.
He thought that Jia Baihe must have been discovered for her Dao Body and then captured by Yan Zhuo.
Now that Jia Baihe had come out with him so easily, he realized he had really misunderstood Yan Zhuo.
"Brother Ding..." On the Cosmic Pot, Jia Baihe looked emotionally at Ding Huan before her.
She thought that after leaving the Chunyi Divine Realm, she would never see Ding Huan again in this life.
What she didn't expect was that, an unknown number of cosmic planes away from the Chunyi Divine Realm, she saw Ding Huan and was now with him.
Life's encounters are truly unpredictable.
"Wait a moment." Knowing that Jia Baihe had endless things to say to him, Ding Huan could only have her wait a bit.
He was sure Jia Baihe had Xi Changmei's Mark of Divine Will on her.
Jia Baihe was absolutely obedient to Ding Huan and responded with just a simple "hmm" without saying more.
Ding Huan's Divine Will and Domain instantly enveloped Jia Baihe, and within the span of a breath, he removed two Marks of Divine Will, sealing them and throwing them into his own world.
He was satisfied to find that though Jia Baihe had two marks on her, they were both made by Xi Changmei.
Yan Zhuo had not placed any marks on Jia Baihe, which proved his guess correct; Yan Zhuo truly cherished Jia Baihe as an adopted daughter.
"Tell me why you appeared in the Great Universe." After putting away the marks, Ding Huan continued to ask.
Jia Baihe composed herself and then said, "Sister Yishang and I used the Talisman Spirit to transmit through the Eternal Life Talisman..."
At this, Jia Baihe seemed to remember something and hurriedly grabbed a Talisman Spirit to give to Ding Huan, "Brother Ding, here's the Talisman Spirit for you."
The Talisman Spirit's aura was not evident, indicating it was still in recovery.
Ding Huan accepted the Talisman Spirit Jia Baihe offered without any hesitation.
With the Talisman Spirit in his world, its recovery would be faster.
With the Eternal Life Talisman on him and the Talisman Spirit, the Eternal Life Talisman would be complete.
In the future, when he returns to the Blue Star Divine Land, he might still need the Eternal Life Talisman.
Seeing Ding Huan nonchalantly accept her Talisman Spirit, Jia Baihe felt even happier.
It showed that Brother Ding was still the same Ding Huan and did not see her as an outsider.
"Sister Yishang and I were transmitted into a shattered Cosmic Void, where apart from broken Heaven and Earth Laws, there was no Star Land, not even asteroids.
We knew that if we stayed there, we'd be stuck in endless muck; Sister Yishang and I decided to find a way out of that universe.
Sister Yishang said that if we transmitted using ordinary methods, we might always be stuck in that plane forever.
Not only would this greatly harm the Talisman Spirit, but it would also be of no benefit to us.
Later, Sister Yishang and I found a cosmic vortex..."
Upon hearing about the cosmic vortex, Ding Huan broke out in cold sweat. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⁂fire.net
The chance of surviving entry into a cosmic vortex was only fifty percent.
Because upon entering a cosmic vortex, one might very likely be torn to shreds.
It was sheer luck that Jia Baihe emerged unscathed.
"Our luck was good; with the Talisman Spirit's help, we were transmitted out of the cosmic vortex and sent into the void at the edge of the Great Universe.
In that place, Sister Yishang and I were separated. Although the Talisman Spirit brought us to this plane, my Divine Soul was severely damaged, and in near desperation, I was saved by Sect Master Yan.
Sect Master Yan, a kind-hearted man, asked if I would consider him my adoptive father, and grateful for his life-saving grace, I agreed."
Ding Huan held Jia Baihe's hand and immediately sensed that her Primordial Spirit was not only injured but on the verge of collapse.
Previously, Jia Baihe had hidden her condition so well that he thought she was only lightly injured.
"Your Primordial Spirit..."
Jia Baihe smiled slightly, "Being able to see you now, even if my Primordial Spirit collapses, I am content. At least, I will have no regrets...
The reason I didn't tell the Sect Master about my injuries was that I didn't want him to worry."
Jia Baihe knew that Yan Zhuo truly cared for her and Yan Jiuyue.
It was just that Yan Jiuyue was always targeting her; if not for Sect Master Yan Zhuo's sake, she could have dealt with a hundred Yan Jiuyues.
Did Yan Jiuyue think that with her brain, she could scheme against her?
Ding Huan immediately took out a drop of Cosmic Essence, "Open your mouth quickly..."
"Is this Cosmic Essence?"
After wandering in the void for years, Jia Baihe wasn't naive.
She immediately recognized the Cosmic Essence.
Ding Huan took out twenty 'Seven-leaved Reincarnation Grass,' yet its value might not compare to this single drop of Cosmic Essence.
"This is too precious..."
Without waiting for Jia Baihe to refuse again, Ding Huan had already sent the drop of Cosmic Essence into her mouth:
"Go into seclusion immediately for healing. I'll go meet someone, and once you've recovered, we can talk in detail."
"Okay." Moved, Jia Baihe didn't refuse any further.
From today, she was finally no longer alone.
She and Ding Huan were once married, and now she was Ding Huan's rightful wife.
Even if Ding Huan had been married before, she could openly stand by his side, at most being a concubine.
She didn't mind that at all.
Seeing Jia Baihe go into seclusion for healing, Ding Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Cosmic Essence, no matter how serious Jia Baihe's injuries were, she would recover.
Now he is headed to Beixing Heavenly City to rescue Ling Zhuzhen.
Ling Zhuzhen helped him once, and he promised to return the favor.
He is about to go to the Tian Meng Clan, but he will rescue Ling Zhuzhen first.
Given Ling Zhuzhen's status in the Great Universe, he might even provide him with some information about the Tian Meng Clan.
Xi Changmei's face was extremely gloomy as he checked the gifts Yan Zhuo had given him.
They did not include what he wanted.
This means the thing he desires is now with Jia Baihe, that Taoist partner of hers.
A mere Third Transition ant dares covet Xi Changmei's possessions; it's simply courting death.
When Xi Changmei sensed the Dao Thought traces he had left, his expression changed instantly.
The Dao Thought mark he had left behind had vanished.
Ding Xiaotu was merely a Third Transition Saint at most, and Jia Baihe's cultivation isn't higher than Ding Xiaotu's; how could they have separated his Dao Thought mark?
"Husband, are we going to Guz's Holy Dao City now?" Yan Jiuyue was not in a particularly good mood.
She constantly wanted to overshadow Jia Baihe, but in every matter, Jia Baihe overshadows her.
And that's not all, even her adoptive father decided to pass on the inheritance of Blue Star Sect to Jia Baihe.
"Let's go, we're heading to Guz's Holy Dao City right now." Xi Changmei didn't hesitate for a moment.
He not only intended to go to Guz's Holy Dao City, but also to prevent Ding Xiaotu from entering the city, while retrieving the item.
At this moment, Ding Huan was holding a brown box, the material of which Ding Huan could not identify.
However, Ding Huan was sure that the restriction on this box was not applied by Yan Zhuo.
Although Yan Zhuo was at the Fifth Step of the Great Dao, he likely couldn't inscribe a restriction of this level.
Ding Huan's Divine Will settled on this restriction, wondering how to open it.
Should he refine it, or forcibly tear it apart?
At that moment, he touched a message imprint within the restriction.
Upon touching the restriction, he immediately heard Yan Zhuo's voice:
"I risked my life to obtain this box, remember, it must only be opened after reaching the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, otherwise you will die without a grave.
I fear that throughout my life, I may never reach the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, keeping this box is like wasting a treasure.
I have lived my life without relatives or disciples, only my two daughters Jiuyue and Bai He. Despite their excellent aptitude, they may never achieve the Seventh Step of the Great Dao in this life…"
Upon hearing this, Ding Huan wasn't concerned.
He believed Yan Jiuyue wouldn't reach the Seventh Step.
But he absolutely wouldn't let Jia Baihe be held back, following him.
Moreover, Jia Baihe was an Immortal Spirit Dao Body.
"… Therefore, I will pass this box to one of my daughters, with a son-in-law holding it. If there is anyone in the future capable of reaching the Seventh Step, they shall inherit the box…"
In essence, unless there is someone in the future able to achieve the Seventh Step of the Great Dao, the box should remain untouched and passed on.
Regarding why Yan Zhuo chose to give the box to a son-in-law rather than a daughter, Ding Huan understood.
This was likely because Yan Zhuo knew neither his daughter Yan Jiuyue nor Jia Baihe was particularly cunning.
If the box were given to a daughter, encountering a good son-in-law would be fine.
Encountering a vicious one might jeopardize her life.
Yan Zhuo may have been mistaken.
Ding Huan believed Yan Jiuyue lacked cunning, but Jia Baihe is definitely no sheep.
Otherwise, how did she earn the title First Poison Demon?
Gazing at the box in his hand, Ding Huan fell into contemplation.
Must one really reach the Seventh Step of the Great Dao to open this box?
Ding Huan thought not.
He wasn't going to wait until the Seventh Step to unlock this box.
Though, it was best not to open it now. Until he reached the Creation Realm, he would attempt to unlock it then.
When he does open it, it will be in the Chaos Law Sea.
The Chaos Law Sea can even lock the Dao Thought left by the Eternal God Saint, could this box be stronger than the Eternal God Saint?
The Cosmic Pot traveled extremely fast.
In just several days, the Cosmic Pot arrived outside Beixing Heavenly City.
By now, Jia Baihe's injuries had healed, and she emerged with vigor.
"Baihe, your Great Dao is incomplete, though you've proven your Dao, I suggest you undergo slaying Dao for cultivation anew. I will provide you with a new cultivation technique then."
Ding Huan sensed that Jia Baihe's Taoist Rhythm was merely ordinary; if she continued her cultivation in this manner, she might indeed be unable to reach the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.
Jia Baihe, being an Immortal Spirit Dao Body, should have advanced to a Holy Spirit Dao Body after proving her Dao as a Saint.
Now, Jia Baihe remains a Divine Dao Body, indicating a fault in her Great Dao.
"Yes, I'll follow your advice." Jia Baihe agreed without any objections.
She looked towards the Beixing Heavenly City ahead: "Brother Ding, I feel as if I've been here before."
"Today I am here to help someone, let's go together." Ding Huan, taking Jia Baihe along, left the Cosmic Pot, raising his hand to store it away.
(Good night, fellow Daoist!)
