"Master, I will never forget the grace of being saved," Ji Xinting, having regained the ability to move, became so agitated that he was about to kneel.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will slightly stirred, preventing this once strongest man of Triple Heaven Star Land from kneeling.
"I am about to leave this place and establish a Sect..." Ding Huan hadn’t decided on the name for his Sect yet.
Moreover, he needed to establish the Sect and also take down Elder He.
"Master, I’ll go with you, I will help you..."
What Ji Xinting truly desired was not to help Ding Huan build a Sect but to acquire Ding Huan’s Cultivation Technique.
Ding Huan waved his hand:
"Hidden Sword Mountain is what I need, so you just stay and guard Hidden Sword Mountain while cultivating."
Ji Xinting was dumbfounded and took a while to speak:
"Master, my cultivation has been completely depleted. I can manage here for a short while, but if I stay long, I will surely die of poisoning."
Ding Huan looked at Ji Xinting:
"I’m telling you, Lao Ji..."
"Master, please call me Xinting, I truly cannot bear the title of Lao Ji."
Ding Huan said speechlessly:
"Lao Ji just rolls off the tongue, but since you have only started learning my Cultivation Technique, I’m just leading you through the initial steps. The Cultivation Technique I’m now imparting to you... it’s called Little Uni... ah, it shall be the Divine Network Scripture."
Ding Huan had initially wanted to name it Little Universe Technique but then realized that if he did, this fellow would definitely ask why he wasn’t teaching him the Great Universe Technique.
Why waste the breath? Given that Ji Xinting’s body lacked meridians and he needed to open each channel himself, Ding Huan decisively named it the Divine Network Scripture.
As the former strongest, Ji Xinting really got it quickly. Upon hearing Ding Huan’s words, he immediately grasped the essence:
"Master, does this Divine Network Scripture involve opening meridians and acupoints within one’s body?"
His body now lacked any meridians, and he was aware that the new Cultivation Technique would definitely involve opening them.
"Exactly, I can only teach you the first three levels; the rest of the Technique relies completely on your own comprehension. There is a Cosmic Vortex in this place. While cultivating here, you should comprehend and at the same time safeguard our Sect’s Cultivation Place."
While speaking, Ding Huan also pointed towards the Cosmic Vortex right in front of them.
"But..."
Before Ji Xinting could finish his question, Ding Huan spoke again:
"Don’t worry, the first Cycle of the Divine Network Scripture is about establishing a Poison Vein that detoxifies. As long as you cultivate in the way I’ve instructed, you can practice here for ten thousand years without being affected by poison.
Now you just need to tell me if you are willing to learn."
Ji Xinting replied eagerly with great joy:
"Disciple is willing to learn. May I ask, Master, after learning this, will it form a mighty Taoist Aura of the Cosmic Avenue like Master’s Technique?"
Ding Huan snorted:
"You have not even learned to walk and you want to learn to run? The ability to grasp and the natural talent in our lineage vary greatly among individuals. Whether you can achieve that is not up to my teaching, but on how well you learn in the future."
"Disciple understands."
Ji Xinting, thinking of Ding Huan’s previous Cultivation state and the aura that could comprehend the mysteries of the universe, felt a renewed sense of anticipation.
Ding Huan had modified the Great Universe Technique.
Ji Xinting would not cultivate with his own body as the universe and the Great Dao as the vast starry sky. Such knowledge isn’t taught but has to be realized by oneself.
Even if Ding Huan were to teach his entire Great Universe Technique to Ji Xinting without missing a single word, Ji Xinting might at most only be able to learn the Little Universe Technique.
Even the same person, studying the same Cultivation Technique, might not necessarily come to understand the same Dao.
Thus, the Divine Network Scripture Ding Huan gave Ji Xinting only used the method of utilizing the universe to evolve the Milky Way to establish meridians, rather than starting from Star Dust to condense the Milky Way.
Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique to the Star Storage level, and within his Dantian was a Star Mountain.
He needed to modify the Cultivation Technique of the Great Universe Technique, which he accomplished in just one two-hour period.
After modifying the Cultivation Technique, Ding Huan engraved a Jade Scroll and gave it a name, the Divine Network Scripture.
To Ding Huan’s amazement, as soon as he finished engraving the words ’Divine Network Scripture’, they began to blur.
Ding Huan didn’t believe in this evil. He carved it again, this second time enhancing his Divine Will to make the characters clearer.
However, as soon as it was finished, the words ’Divine Network Scripture’ vanished once more.
It was baffling.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will fell upon the Jade Scroll he inscribed with the Technique, and found that the content had not changed at all; it was only the name that could not be inscribed.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to carve the name of the Technique any more and threw the Jade Scroll to Ji Xinting:
"Just cultivate according to this, it’s alright if you just remember the name of the Technique."
"Thank you, Master." Ji Xinting took the Jade Scroll, expressing his gratitude again.
When he picked up the Jade Scroll and saw the four characters on it, he asked in surprise:
"Master, is this the Little Universe Technique? It’s not the Divine Network Scripture."
"How did you know it was the Little Universe Technique?" Ding Huan asked in surprise.
It was confirmed in his heart that it was the Little Universe Technique, even though he had carved it as the Divine Network Scripture, and it just wouldn’t take.
"You wrote it there," Ji Xinting felt as though his intelligence was being ground against the floor.
Upon Ding Huan’s Divine Will focusing on the Jade Scroll, he was shocked to find that the words ’Little Universe Technique’ had appeared on it without knowing when.
"Forget it, from now on, this Technique will be called the Little Universe Technique. The extent to which you can cultivate the Little Universe Technique depends entirely on yourself."
Ding Huan had no choice but to say so.
Although Ji Xinting thought there was something odd about his master’s words, he still agreed.
Ding Huan was satisfied that the man didn’t ask where the Great Universe Technique was.
As for whether Ji Xinting would reach great heights in the future, it was entirely up to him, and Ding Huan wasn’t just speaking blindly.
After all, he had only given Ji the first three levels of the Cultivation Technique, so Ji could only cultivate to the Star Storage Realm.

Beyond the Star Storage Realm, if he wanted to make further progress, he would have to create new levels of Cultivation Technique himself.
"Thank you, Master," Ji Xinting said, carefully holding the Cultivation Technique that Ding Huan handed him.
When he first joined the Sect to begin the cultivation of Daoist Skills, he wasn’t as devout as he was today.
Previously, when he had joined the Taoist Sect, he knew what level of achievement he could possibly reach.
But today, he had no idea how high he could go.
Ji Xinting, as the former Sect Master of the Desolate God Sect and the strongest in the Triple Heaven Star Land, naturally understood this.
...
Upon arriving at the small courtyard in West Wind City where he resided, Ding Huan found not only Sang Yuhe but also Guan Pou and Liu Yinzhu’s direct disciple, Mo Huaping.
"Brother Ding," Guan Pou exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Ding Huan return.
Mo Huaping looked at Ding Huan with a complex expression, she hadn’t expected that a commoner in everyone’s eyes would become an existence that even True Pill powerhouses had to wait for.
Not just the senior in front of her, Sang Yuhe, but also her own master respected Ding Huan deeply.
She and Guan Pou had hidden in West Wind City, unaware that Purple Mist Valley had sealed itself off.
"Eh, why are both of you here as well?" Ding Huan was indeed a little surprised to see Guan Pou and Mo Huaping.
Mo Huaping quickly said,
"My master saw that the Sect Master didn’t accept all your suggestions, so he had me and Guan Pou leave the Sect to hide for a while.
Our cultivation isn’t high, and we have nowhere else to go. Guan Pou said that hiding in West Wind City is the only safe place, so we secretly came here."
Ding Huan approvingly said,
"Your master’s idea is very good; it’s indeed safe here, at least for the next few years. Now that I’m here, let’s all go back together."
"Is Purple Mist Valley still there?" Guan Pou asked unbelievingly.
They dared not inquire about new, only gathering that Purple Mist Valley seemed to have been destroyed from bits and pieces of information.
"Purple Mist Valley as a Sect is gone, but the place remains, we can discuss more when we get back," Ding Huan said as he summoned his spaceship.
It was only at this moment that Sang Yuhe understood where Ding Huan planned to establish the Sect, which was in Purple Mist Valley.
This was not a simple place; back in the Taoist Realm, it was considered one of the top ten Sect sanctuaries.
"Ding Huan, are you saying Purple Mist Valley is gone?" Sang Yuhe knew that while Purple Mist Valley wasn’t strong, it was a mid-tier Sect.
How could such a Sect disappear?
Ding Huan briefly explained the great battle between Purple Mist Valley and the Nine Sounds Sect, resulting in nearly complete annihilation on both sides.
After hearing Ding Huan’s introduction, Sang Yuhe fell silent.
She really wanted to tell Ding Huan that even if he wanted to establish a Sect, he should not choose Purple Mist Valley.
Was this a place where ordinary Sects could settle?
Why was Purple Mist Valley exterminated? Wasn’t it because the land was too desirable?
Originally, Purple Mist Valley was of average strength, that was only due to a fracture in the Sect’s middle ranks, and a failure to keep up with disciple training.
Now that Purple Mist Valley was destroyed, who knew how many Sects coveted it? And Ding Huan was also eyeing Purple Mist Valley. Was that a bit...
"Ding Huan, I think we could choose another place to establish the Sect," Sang Yuhe still tactfully brought forward her thoughts.
"No need, I only want to establish a Sect because of Purple Mist Valley; if we change locations, I can’t be bothered to do it."
Ding Huan was really speaking the truth.
What was his strength now? If he wanted to establish a Sect in another place, he didn’t have the time to waste.
Purple Mist Valley was an excellent cultivation place. Establishing a Sect there would be killing two birds with one stone.
Once his Array Dao was fully accomplished, he would definitely establish a Teleportation Array between Purple Mist Valley and Hidden Sword Mountain. This Teleportation Array would be known as the Sect’s Inner Trial Teleportation Array.
In less than two days, Ding Huan’s spaceship landed on the outskirts of Purple Mist Valley.
"Ding Huan, has Purple Mist Valley been sealed off?" Sang Yuhe immediately realized upon arrival that Purple Mist Valley was sealed.
Since it was sealed off, it meant that no one could get in.
Ding Huan, however, took out an Array Flag and easily opened a passageway through the Sealed Mountain Gate.
As Sang Yuhe watched in amazement, Ding Huan entered Purple Mist Valley.
Whether in the Taoist Realm or the Ascension Realm,
it was an unspoken rule that once a Sect sealed off its Mountain Gate, it was not to be attacked.
One exception was if the Sect apparently sealed off but the disciples still sneaked in and out.
"Ding Huan, wouldn’t Purple Mist Valley be attacked if someone saw?" Sang Yuhe worried.
Ding Huan sighed,
"Even if no one saw, it wouldn’t take long before Purple Mist Valley would be attacked."
Ding Huan was well aware that a sacred place like Purple Mist Valley not being coveted was the real surprise.
Now both Nine Sounds Sect and Purple Mist Valley had sealed themselves off, and the Cultivators who survived dare not show their faces.
Many Sects coveting Purple Mist Valley were also uncertain of the actual situation and hence didn’t dare act rashly.
Once these Sects learned that Purple Mist Valley was completely obliterated, whether it was sealed or not, they would find excuses to attack.
The best excuse would be that someone was seen entering and exiting the already sealed Purple Mist Valley.
Therefore, he must quickly eliminate Elder He and then accelerate to the next level beyond the Star Storage Realm, equivalent to the Primordial Soul Realm.
Otherwise, even if no one saw him entering and leaving a sealed Mountain Gate, others would use it as an excuse to attack Purple Mist Valley.
