When the Star Mountain in his Dantian had fully formed, as majestic as the peaks in a Mountain and River Map, Ding Huan opened his eyes.

He had broken through the Star Cloud Realm and arrived at an entirely new realm.

Ding Huan was very clear about how he had reached this stage and where he was headed.

When his Dantian formed the continuous Star Mountains again, that would be the time for him to step into the next realm. He saw his next realm, where a Great Dao Star would form.

At present, his transition from the Star Cloud Realm to the Star Mountain stage was in preparation for the future formation of a star.

In the future, it would be called the Star Storage Realm.

His Star Storage Realm was equivalent to the True Pill Realm of cultivators in this universe, and once his Great Dao Star had condensed, it would be equivalent to the Primordial Soul Realm.

Ding Huan grabbed the Separation Spear, and with an easy sweep of the long spear in his hand, he stirred up a violent killing intent.

If he were to face Gong Hua now, why would he need to set up any Killing Trap Array? And there would be no need for Genetic Poison Fog.

Snap! A distant boulder was torn to shreds by a casual thrust of Ding Huan’s spear.

Ding Huan was once again stunned.

Because the way that boulder had shattered was too strange, it first formed a gravel vortex in the center and then, under the momentum of the Separation Spear, disintegrated.

It was because, just now, his Divine Will had also followed the killing intent of the Separation Spear.

He had intended to observe the minute changes of this thrust, but had inadvertently created this effect.

That vortex was definitely not from the killing power of the Separation Spear, but from his Divine Will.

His Divine Will had been comprehending his Great Universe Technique in the Cosmic Vortex, so unconsciously his Divine Will also carried this kind of killing intent of the vortex.

Other people’s Divine Will simply could not last a moment in such a vortex, but his Divine Will could last for tens of days within this Cosmic Vortex.

His Divine Will was tempered non-stop as it whirled with the vortex and consequently gained a unique killing intent of the Cosmic Vortex.

The reason was that if his Divine Will did not generate such a killing intent, it would have been torn apart by the Cosmic Vortex and hence could not have existed.

This is a great weapon!

Ding Huan excitedly thought to himself that if he used this vortex killing intent against an opponent, it could directly dissolve the opponent’s Domain of Killing Intent.

Or it could shatter the opponent’s Spells and Divine Skills in the same way.

Thinking this, Ding Huan once again slammed the long spear in his hand toward another large boulder.

This time, Ding Huan did not unleash the Divine Will vortex. The deadly aura stirred by the Separation Spear easily turned the boulder into debris.

Immediately afterward, Ding Huan’s Divine Will unleashed the vortex killing intent, and he blasted the third large boulder with the Separation Spear.

"Crack!" The boulder shattered, just like the first boulder, with the middle being blown into a gravel vortex by the vortex killing intent before splitting to the sides.

Indeed, this was how it was, Ding Huan knew that he was too close to see the true power of his Divine Will vortex killing intent clearly.

Was this considered a self-created Divine Skill?

In battle, suddenly unleashing a Divine Will vortex killing intent to break the enemy’s Divine Skills and Domain of Killing Intent,

And in that moment of the opponent’s weakness, he would have a great chance to kill the enemy.

Would this Divine Skill be called Vortex Killing in the future?

That name is too tacky, Killing Communion? That doesn’t sound good either.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

How about calling it Chrysanthemum Killing instead? Ding Huan was quite pleased with his burst of creativity.

The reason he suddenly thought of the word "chrysanthemum" was that the word for "Communion" made him recall the line "the curtain rolls up in the west wind, thinner than the chrysanthemum."

Although "Communion" and "curtain" were unrelated and phonetically different, Ding Huan forced the connection just for the name "chrysanthemum."

Chrysanthemum Killing was useful, but if the opponent’s Divine Skills or Domain of Killing Intent were stronger, the more Divine Will he would have to expend.

Such a trump card must be saved for critical moments.

"Mr. Ding, congratulations on your great achievement." Ji Xinting’s voice came through Divine Will at the right time.

Obviously, Ji Xinting had seen everything clearly when Ding Huan had created his new Divine Skill.

In fact, he did not know exactly what kind of Divine Skill Ding Huan had created, but he could feel that this Divine Skill was no ordinary matter.

Ding Huan was in a good mood, and since he was sure that Ji Xinting had no power to harm him, he also made a cupped fist salute and said,

"Thank you, Ji Xinting. You schemed against me first, and I took your things later, so let’s consider our debts offset."

Ji Xinting was, after all, the number one powerhouse of the Triple Heaven Star Land. Since the other party had the intention to make peace, Ding Huan didn’t want to be hostile to him.

Besides, in the process of dealing with Ji Xinting, he hadn’t suffered any loss.

"Mr. Ding, there is indeed something I need your help with. I sincerely ask for your assistance."

Ji Xinting was nailed down by the Fei Yan Sword and could only express his voice through his Divine Will, unable to move at all.

"Ji Xinting, I am very aware of my own limitations. If you need me to go to the Ascension Realm to notify people from the Desolate God Sect to rescue you, I am powerless to help at the moment.

Perhaps one day when I am strong enough, I can bring a message for you on the way."

Ding Huan spoke honestly, not to mention that he couldn’t go to the Ascension Realm now, even if he could, he wouldn’t carry the message. It would only bring trouble upon himself.

Ji Xinting laughed at himself with a snort.

"Desolate God Sect? If the Desolate God Sect knew of my current plight, those guys would probably rush here to kill me immediately. So, when I say thank you, I’m not trying to flatter you, I truly mean it."

Ding Huan didn’t speak, he just looked at Ji Xinting. He knew Ji Xinting must have more to say.

He was currently powerless to take Hidden Sword Mountain for himself, but one day, he would make it his own.

To establish his own sect, it was imperative to have Hidden Sword Mountain. It was practically a place tailor-made for comprehending the Great Universe Technique.

As long as his cultivation continued to rise, and he could claim Hidden Sword Mountain for his own, then his sect would rapidly flourish.

To make Hidden Sword Mountain his, he had to confront Ji Xinting face-to-face. At a minimum, he needed to deal with the nuisance that was Ji Xinting. Otherwise, how could he take Hidden Sword Mountain?

Ji Xinting’s tone became earnest,

"There are two paths ahead of me now. The first is for my primordial spirit to leave and seek a new body to possess. The second is to find a top-notch Heaven and Earth Treasure, such as the Immortal Quan Flower, to reconstruct my body."

Ding Huan had long suspected that Ji Xinting’s body was entirely corroded by toxins.

Even if he had integrated the Detoxification Gene Potion, without creating the Great Universe Technique, in less than a month here, he would be corroded by the poison fog and lose his physical body.

How many years had Ji Xinting been here? Perhaps a hundred or two hundred years?

It’s only fair to say that this old man has been exceptionally remarkable to have lived until now.

"The first time you came here, I indeed wanted to possess your body."

Ding Huan wasn’t surprised by Ji Xinting’s words. Even now, if Ji Xinting wanted to possess him, he wouldn’t be surprised.

Who can come to this place? For Ji Xinting to possess someone else, he would need the opportunity to do so.

Now that his Great Universe Technique had taken shape, and he had even condensed the Star Mountain, no matter how advanced Ji Xinting’s cultivation was, if he dared to try possessing him, Ding Huan would make this old man understand why flowers are so red.

Seeing that Ding Huan remained silent, Ji Xinting continued with a bitter smile through telepathy,

"I had already guessed that you knew my intentions, which is why I was so eager to flee the first time. And this time, you must not fear my possession, which is why you’re staying to listen to my ramblings.

Or perhaps, your reason for coming to Hidden Sword Mountain isn’t just to advance in cultivation; you have other business here."

Ding Huan marveled inwardly—this guy was truly shrewd, able to guess anything.

"I would like to ask for your help, which isn’t to say I want you to go seek help to rescue me. I just need you to help me take away the Fei Yan Sword. The Fei Yan Sword will be yours; I don’t want it."

Ding Huan looked at Ji Xinting with a wry smile,

"Lao Ji, first of all, although the Fei Yan Sword is on you, it’s not truly yours since it’s pinning you down. So, if I can take away the Fei Yan Sword, it naturally becomes mine.

Second, I don’t have the power to take away the Fei Yan Sword yet—I’m well aware of that.

Third, if I save you, you will either try to possess me or someone else, and neither option is what I want to do.

Don’t mention that you have an Immortal Quan Flower; I won’t believe it."

Ji Xinting seemed to get a better understanding of Ding Huan, and he tried to make his telepathy more trustworthy,

"Mr. Ding, you should know that with your strong path, my trying to possess you would be suicide. I know of a place where there’s an Immortal Quan Flower, although it’s meaningless.

I just want to ask what you’re doing here. If I can assist Mr. Ding in any way, I only hope for an exchange of services."

Ding Huan hesitated somewhat.

Without creating his own Divine Skills and the Yellow Flower Kill, he wouldn’t have hesitated at all because he wouldn’t consider the matter.

After learning the Yellow Flower Kill, while he did say he didn’t have the power to pull out the Fei Yan Sword, he actually felt there was a glimmer of hope.

Seizing the moment, Ji Xinting continued the telepathy,

"Mr. Ding, the reason why the Fei Yan Sword is able to pin me here is because of two reasons. The first is that I activated the Poison Vein here, and the second is I also tried to forcibly make the Fei Yan Sword my Sword Slave..."

Making an Immortal Sword into a Sword Slave? Ding Huan almost laughed; Ji Xinting was overestimating himself, wasn’t he?

But what in the world was a Poison Vein?

"What is a Poison Vein?" Ding Huan asked.

Ji Xinting didn’t hide the truth,

"A Poison Vein is not much different from the Spirit Vein you showed; it’s just that it contains endless poison from heaven and earth."

Ding Huan thought, could he take this Poison Vein and then throw it where Elder He was in seclusion?

One had to admit that Ji Xinting was a sly old fox. The moment Ding Huan hesitated, Ji Xinting understood how Ding Huan was thinking,

"Mr. Ding, if you want Hidden Sword Mountain, then you can’t tamper with this Poison Vein."

Ding Huan was speechless. This old man not only knew what he was currently thinking, but he was also aware of his coveting Hidden Sword Mountain.

Was trading with such an old creature going to result in getting swindled?

"I want the poison fog here. Do you have any way to help?" Ding Huan asked bluntly.

"Yes, I possess a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure that’s specifically for containing these things, which I can give you for collecting the poison fog. However, aside from taking away the Fei Yan Sword, you must also agree to one more request,"

Ji Xinting declared without hesitation.

As he spoke, Ji Xinting seemed worried that Ding Huan was still apprehensive about the Fei Yan Sword, so he added,

"Immortal treasures like the Fei Yan Sword recognize their master. I’m pinned here because the Fei Yan Sword refuses to acknowledge me as its master.

However, Mr. Ding, your path is exceptionally strong; perhaps you can make the Fei Yan Sword recognize you as its master. Once the Fei Yan Sword acknowledges you, you will be able to pull it out with ease."
