Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

Ding Huan was stunned for a while before he said, "Deacon Cheng, you're really putting me in a tough spot."

Cheng Keqi frowned, "So, you're unwilling to write it down?"

Ding Huan sighed and said, "I used my Divine Will to search inch by inch and after more than half a year, I finally sensed a place where the Spiritual Energy was unusually abundant. It was just a small puddle.

Then, Fellow Daoist Chang and I started digging in that puddle...

After many days of digging without finding any Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, I thought of a method—I used dozens of Blast Talismans and detonated them all at once.

Unexpectedly, after the explosion, an Immortal Spirit Spring Eye really appeared. At that moment, both Fellow Daoist Chang and I were so excited that I didn't even see the message you sent me."

As Ding Huan said these words, he felt they sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before. However, it didn't matter; it didn't stop him from continuing to concoct the story.

Cheng Keqi was also stunned when he heard Ding Huan's words, Really, just like that?

If he wrote about such a method of finding Immortal Spirit Spring Eyes, he would be expelled from the Immortal Sect by tomorrow.

"Are you sure it was found this way?" Cheng Keqi couldn't help but ask again.

Ding Huan spread his hands, "What else?"

Cheng Keqi fell silent, pondering if the method Ding Huan mentioned was feasible.

If one could simply dig out an Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, then they wouldn't be so hard to find.

In other words, even if you know there is an Immortal Spirit Spring under your feet, you might not be able to discover it and release it.

This is because the Immortal Spirit Spring Eyes are all wrapped in various Dao Rhythm Laws, and you have to break these Dao Rhythm Laws first, which isn't as simple as just digging.

Could it be that Ding Huan had used dozens of Blast Talismans to tear apart the Dao Rhythm Law, thereby coincidentally allowing the Immortal Spirit Spring to appear?

That was a possibility.

"Ding Huan, how did you come to possess so many Blast Talismans?" Cheng Keqi instantly spotted the flaw in Ding Huan's words.

Carrying two or three Blast Talismans was already bizarre, but to take out dozens at once?

Moreover, these Blast Talismans had to be at least Level 9 Spirit Talismans, right?

Who is he trying to fool?

Even Chang Danyi felt that Ding Huan's story was poorly organized and that he should think of another reason.

Any sensible person would realize that you can't simply dig out an Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

Ding Huan casually pulled out a stack of Blast Talismans, "I was previously a talisman seller, and I still have many Blast Talismans on me."

Cheng Keqi's Divine Will landed on the stack of Blast Talismans in Ding Huan's hand, and there were at least a hundred, all of them Blast Talismans and all Level 9 Blast Spirit Talismans.

From the aura of these talismans, it was evident that they had been refined many years ago and were not freshly made just to deceive him.

Cheng Keqi could only cover his forehead with his hand, "What kind of oddity is this?"

At that moment, he somewhat regretted having rewarded twenty Immortal Crystals.

That sourness swirled in his chest for quite some time before Cheng Keqi finally waved his hand, "Since that's the case, I'll write it myself.

Since finding the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye is just about luck, there's no need to look for it. You're an Array Master by profession, specializing in repairing Arrays. Recently, the Stealing Immortal Worms have been rampant, so you should go repair Arrays instead."

Once he said this, Deacon Cheng felt like some of the resentment in his heart had been released.

He didn't believe that Ding Huan wouldn't fall into this trap; if Ding Huan died, then there'd be no proof of wrongdoing.

As long as Ding Huan went to repair Arrays, even if Ding Huan had some skills, he would be framed by Lu Hai.

If Ding Huan had no skills, he would die even faster.

Ding Huan was startled—is this a stroke of luck?

Though he didn't consider it a lucky opportunity, in the Immortal Sect, repairing Arrays was regarded as a privileged task.

Repairing Arrays was generally done in places with dense Immortal Spiritual Energy because that's where the Array Core is located. Such places not only offered a chance for Cultivation but also leisure.

This was a plum job. Previously, he had wanted to repair Arrays, but Elder Kong had dumped him in the job of looking for the Immortal Spirit Spring.

Now they were asking him to repair Arrays again; was this a sign of a guilty conscience?

In fact, after knowing that the Immortal Spirit Spring could condense Immortal Crystals, Ding Huan lost all interest in repairing Arrays.

Ding Huan knew he couldn't ask Deacon Cheng to let him continue searching for the Immortal Spirit Spring. If he did, it would be akin to admitting there was something to hide.

He was taken to a place within the Immortal Sect where the main Array Core was located. Ding Huan was still puzzled; even if they didn't want him to search for the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, it didn't make sense to give him such a favored task.

Seeing Ding Huan lost in thought, a Cultivator who was repairing the Protecting Array scolded loudly: "Are you dead? Why aren't you hurrying to repair the base of the Array? Why are you acting like a big shot here?"

Beside him, there was a large pile of Array Flags.

Only then did Ding Huan realize that outside the Protecting Array, there were densely packed insects, the sound of these insects gnawing at the Protecting Array was squeaky, clearly enjoying a feast.

These insects looked familiar; they were the Stealing Immortal Worms that he had seen three times in the Triple Heaven Star Land.

Ding Huan looked at the other guy frantically deploying Array Flags.

The Protecting Array here had been gnawed and caused problems, and he was still repairing another side. By the time he finished repairing that side and came to fix this one, new problems had arisen.

There was absolutely no moment to pause.

Only then did Ding Huan realize why Cheng Keqi had been so seemingly helpful—it was indeed because of the Stealing Immortal Worm's rampage.

Calmly, Ding Huan spoke, "What do you take me for, just tell me directly which Array Core I need to take care of and stop beating around the bush."

He had no interest in helping this guy repair the Array's foothold.

He had brought an assistant with him, so he simply took charge of a main Array Core himself.

"You're going to take care of an Array Core?" The guy repairing the Array Core was a bit stunned, but quickly recovered and hurriedly threw out a few Array Flags.

Any later, and the Array Core he was responsible for would have been consumed through.

"What else? I am after all the number one Array King in the Taoist Realm, why should I be your subordinate?" Ding Huan retorted unabashedly.

Right now, he truly did not want to stay in the Hundred River Immortal Path—it would be best if they expelled him due to his bad attitude.

He had heard that personnel recruited by the Immortal Sect, if they leave before being expelled by the Immortal Sect, had to compensate with Immortal Crystals. If they left without notice, the Immortal Sect was entitled to pursue and kill them.

Who had the time to help the Hundred River Immortal Path repair the Protecting Array? He came here for cultivation.

"Fine, very well, since you're so capable, you take care of this Array Core then." After speaking, the guy turned around and left swiftly.

Ding Huan clearly saw that the guy had recorded it in a Crystal Ball.

Chang Danyi quietly said afterward, "He knows he can't repair this Array Core, so he just dumped the responsibility on you."

Ding Huan nodded, "He indeed cannot repair this Array Core; if we don't step in, in just an hour, this Array Core will be gnawed through by the Stealing Immortal Worm.

I guess he knew that once the Array Core he was responsible for was consumed, he would definitely face severe punishment, or even be executed. That's why the guy couldn't even muster the courage to persuade me a little, and just dumped the responsibility on me."

"What should we do then?" Chang Danyi somewhat regretted returning to the Immortal Sect. If she had known this, she would have left right after transcending the tribulation.

Before being hunted, she could have left the Immortal Domain.

"Don't worry, I'll repair this Array Core," Ding Huan said unhurriedly as he walked to where the Array Core was located, then grabbed a handful of Array Flags and threw them out.

It must be said, these Array Flags were still quite good.

As Ding Huan arranged the Array Flags to repair the Array Core, he also engraved Strangling Array Patterns on the outside with his Divine Will.

If it were purely to repair the Array Core, that would be utterly pointless.

He would not do anything meaningful since that would exhaust him to death.

As Ding Huan completed setting up the Strangling Array Patterns, the swarms of Stealing Immortal Worms outside were strangled, then thrown aside by Ding Huan's Moving Array Patterns.

Then new Stealing Immortal Worms came, and were again strangled and moved away.

Chang Danyi watched Ding Huan's methods in amazement, muttering, "Why couldn't the previous Array Master think to do this?"

Ding Huan chuckled, "Even if he thought of it, he couldn't execute it."

It involved both Void Array Patterns and Law Arrays.

The Stealing Immortal Worm may be dumb but has an instinct to head straight for the Array Core because here lies the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, where the Immortal Spiritual Energy is most concentrated.

Simply setting up a Strangling Array would not entice the Stealing Immortal Worms.

Ding Huan's Void Array Pattern Strangling Array not only simulated the spirit source within the Strangling Array but also created a fake Immortal Spirit Spring Eye.

Such a method, even if one has seen the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, couldn't be set up without understanding the Dao Rhythm Law of Immortal Spirit Spring.

The departing Array Master had already gathered his evidences, just waiting for the Array Core where Ding Huan was located to be consumed by the Stealing Immortal Worms, and he would immediately disassociate himself and send Ding Huan to his death.

However, he waited for a long time and received no news.

He returned to the Array Core location where Ding Huan was and found Ding Huan leisurely sitting and resting with his eyes closed.

Outside Ding Huan's Array, the Stealing Immortal Worms were being strangled in groups by the Strangling Array he had set up.

Not only were they being strangled, Ding Huan, worried that too many strangled worms would clog the Strangling Array, also considerately arranged a Moving Array.

Whenever the number of strangled worms reached a certain level, they would automatically be moved away from the Strangling Array.

This method was brilliant, why hadn't he thought of it?

No, even if he had thought of it, he might not have been able to set it up.

"This fellow Daoist, your method is truly amazing. I was rash before, my name is Lu Hai. I'm the Main Array Master from the Array Formation Peak of the Immortal Sect..."

This Array Master immediately came up to Ding Huan in a humble manner, with a sincere tone.

Ding Huan opened his eyes, sized up Lu Hai, and then said, "Scram."

He had no intention of staying in this Immortal Sect at all, and he had no good face to show to such riffraff.

The expression on Lu Hai's face changed—he was an Array Master of the Immortal Sect, his status was hundreds of times stronger than a mere temporary external hire like Ding Huan.

Here, which cultivator recruited by the Immortal Sect, upon seeing him, wasn't trying to please him?

Ding Huan, a guy whose fate was uncertain, was actually daring to boss him around, it was simply courting death.
