Bracelet?
Ding Huan was slightly taken aback. He could understand the purpose of the Ascension Token, but what did giving bracelets mean?
Cen Fengqin took out ten Ascension Tokens and ten bracelets and handed them to Hu Wuxin, saying,

"Alliance Leader Hu, these Ascension Tokens are Array Tokens used to enter the Ascension Realm. Unlike the one-time use Ascension Tokens for the Ascension Platform, these can be continuously used.
The bracelets are a must to wear when entering the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield. They are essentially Array Flags that activate the Array Gates of the battlefield.
Inside, there is a direction guide. Even if you get lost in the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, you can rely on the bracelet to find your way out.
There have been too many who have perished in the battlefield, and neither Dean Shi nor Lord Lin wish to see more people fall. Thus, they asked powerful cultivators to refine these guiding bracelets."
"Who is Dean Shi?" asked Ding Huan.
Cen Fengqin replied coldly,
"He is the dean of our Ascension Realm’s Changyan Academy, Dean Shi Qi Qiu. He is dedicated to preserving the strength of the Triple Heaven Star Land."
Ding Huan sneered inwardly. It was indeed that thing.
He had heard about Shi Qi Qiu from Liu Yinyu, who described him as a hypocritical Pharisee.
Although he had not met Shi Qi Qiu, he had seen a glimpse of the man’s character through Shi Jiantian.
If the bracelet was refined by this person, then he would have to be cautious.
"Does everyone entering the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield need one?" This question was not asked by Ding Huan but by Mo Zheng.
Cen Fengqin’s attitude towards Mo Zheng was much better:
"Indeed, everyone needs one, but those whose cultivation is below the True Pill Realm will be able to receive one upon entering the battlefield. Their bracelets’ guidance range is limited.
The type of bracelets I brought are for cultivators above the Void God Realm, as there is concern that some might get lost in the deeper regions of the battlefield.
Dean Shi has said that our Triple Heaven Star Land does not have many Void God Realm cultivators to begin with, and it would truly be a pity if they perished in the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield."
After saying this, Cen Fengqin stood up:
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Hu Wuxin quickly followed her out to see her off.
"When does Sect Master Ding plan to go to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield?" Mo Zheng started to speak his mind after Cen Fengqin had left.
Ding Huan’s strength was certainly the ceiling of the Void God Realm, and in his heart, he had wanted to team up with Ding Huan to enter the battlefield.
He, being in the mid Void God stage, was considered a top existence in the Taoist Realm.
But such strength was hardly worthy of carrying the shoes of the powerhouses in the Ascension Realm.
Ding Huan wondered to himself, what did Hu Wuxin mean by asking this? Could it be that he wanted to form a team with him?
Seeing Ding Huan silent, Hu Wuxin thought he might be reluctant to go and quickly said,
"Sect Master Ding, there were things I could not say when Cen Fengqin was here.
Actually, going to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield is a must. If we reach the Void God Realm but refuse to go, do you know what would happen?"
Ding Huan did not answer. He had a vague guess.
Sure enough, Hu Wuxin continued,
"It’s not just about being denied access to the Ascension Realm, but those powerhouses in the Ascension Realm will kill you. I am all too familiar with their way of doing things.
For example, giving ten Void God Realm bracelets and Ascension Tokens to the Taoist Realm on the surface might seem like only ten Void God Realm cultivators need to go.
But in reality, it’s because there aren’t even ten openly known Void God Realm cultivators in our Taoist Realm."
Ding Huan nodded. Even if he had not come into contact with those in the Ascension Realm, he agreed with Hu Wuxin’s words.
"I plan to go to the Ascension Realm in eleven months," Ding Huan said truthfully.
He still had a Mid Grade Star Sky Spiritual Vein and naturally wanted to maximize his strength during this year.
Another reason was that he always felt there was something off about the bracelet. Shi Qi Qiu, whom Liu Yinyu defined as a Pharisee, would never worry about the life and death of others.
"That late?" Mo Zheng was surprised. Everyone had a year, and you choose to go in the eleventh month?
"Haha, I think it’s just right. I also plan to enter the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield with Sect Master Ding," said Hu Wuxin with a hearty laugh.
Mo Zheng quickly said, "In that case, I will join Sect Master Ding and Alliance Leader Hu."
"I happen to be giving away all these Jade Plates and bracelets, Sect Master Ding. When you go to the Ascension Realm in eleven months, can you call on me? I’ll be waiting here for you," Hu Wuxin said eagerly.
Ding Huan was unconcerned:
"Of course, I will definitely call on Alliance Leader Hu when I come here in eleven months."
Hu Wuxin chuckled and said again,
"Sect Master Ding, that Cen Fengqin may not be strong, but she likes to tattle. She will definitely complain about you when she goes back.
You should be a little careful. There won’t be any major issues, but I worry that some might make things difficult for you."
Ding Huan, not bothered at all, stood up and said,
"Thank you for the reminder, Alliance Leader Hu. I’m heading off as well. See you in eleven months."
...
Ding Huan returned to Hidden Sword Mountain. If it wasn’t for that old man Lu Yuan attacking his Protecting Array, perhaps he would have already split off the Fourth Star by now.
Ding Huan figured that with his speed of cultivation, it would take at most two months to split off the fourth planet from the Main Star.
Ding Huan obviously overestimated himself, for it was only with much difficulty that he managed to split off the Fourth Star in the fifth month.
He couldn’t continue to cultivate. No matter how much more he cultivated, he would not be able to split off the Fifth Star in the remaining six months.
Since he needed to enter the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, Ding Huan had to prepare a few things.
Firstly, Ding Huan took out Lu Yuan’s storage ring.
The fact was that Ding Huan had so many cultivation resources on him, and he didn’t need medicine pills, so after returning to Hidden Sword Mountain, he hadn’t immediately refined Lu Yuan’s ring.
Now that he wasn’t cultivating, he finally had time to see what was really in Lu Yuan’s ring.
Ding Huan could guess that the contents of Lu Yuan’s ring would definitely not be meager.
Lu Yuan was the master of the Daoist Cultivation Chamber of Commerce, the number one commerce chamber in the Taoist Realm. It would be odd if such a person didn’t have a bounty of good items on him.
In just 15 minutes, Ding Huan forcibly broke through the prohibitions on Lu Yuan’s ring.
When Ding Huan’s Divine Will laid upon the contents of this ring, he couldn’t help but marvel at how incredibly wealthy this guy was.
What was this, a ring? This was a tiny world!
Ding Huan wasn’t without his own tiny worlds; he had once obtained a Big Mouth Gourd from Slaughter, which should be a kind of tiny world.
But that Big Mouth Gourd clearly wasn’t complete, probably missing a gourd mouth, and Ding Huan had no intention of cultivating it.
Whether the level of this tiny world in Lu Yuan’s ring was higher than that of the Big Mouth Gourd, Ding Huan didn’t know.
The items inside the ring were definitely the most he had ever seen, even more than those in the space ring of the Immortal Shi Jiantian, whom he had killed.
In Lu Yuan’s ring, there was everything but the finest Spirit Veins; there were more items than in Shi Jiantian’s ring.
There were seventeen high-grade Spirit Veins, twenty-one mid-grade Spirit Veins, and even fifty-two low-grade Spirit Veins.
High-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade Spirit Stones were piled up like mountains, and a rough scan with Divine Will totaled no less than ten billion.
As for Spiritual Medicine, there was an entire medicinal field.
Even Elder He from Purple Mist Valley, who had failed to obtain them, there were seven Three-Color Purple Rain Flowers.
Ding Huan even saw a bottle of Void True Marrow; as for artifact refining materials, alchemy materials, Magical Treasures, Divine Power Techniques...
The assortment was dazzling to behold.
Just how many good items had this guy managed to collect by running the Daoist Cultivation Chamber of Commerce? Did he gather everything in the entire Taoist Realm to his singular possession?
Without any hesitation, Ding Huan refined this ring and made it his own.
With such a tiny world, how much stuff could he want that wouldn’t fit?
At the same time, Ding Huan extracted a Flying Treasure from this tiny world; it was a premium-grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Shuttle.
From now on, this would be his means of transportation.
This Lu Yuan really was a saint, having built up the Daoist Cultivation Chamber of Commerce from scratch and made it the number one commerce chamber in the Taoist Realm, even conducting business with the Ascension Realm.
After many years of hard work, and bearing countless infamies, he had finally accumulated such an immense trove of Cultivation Resources for Ding Huan today.
After putting everything away, Ding Huan took out a mushroom-like thing from the ring.
At first glance, Ding Huan understood that it must be the Purple Garden Mushroom.
He didn’t yet fully understand the use of the Purple Garden Mushroom and decided to study it later on.
Having stumbled upon such huge wealth, the frustration Ding Huan felt from over five months of cultivation to split his Fourth Star had already vanished.
Feeling rather pleased, he took out the Ascension Token and a bracelet.
When his Divine Will swept through the Ascension Token, Ding Huan was shocked to find that it had a third-level prohibition.
His Divine Will then scanned the bracelet, which also contained a third-level prohibition.
Ding Huan felt increasingly that something was wrong.
Was it really necessary for both the Ascension Token and the bracelet to be set up with seventh-level prohibitions? Was it out of fear of damages, or what?
Unfortunately, Ding Huan was not yet capable of perceiving a seventh-level prohibition, nor could he understand the rationale behind it.
But this couldn’t stump Ding Huan, who was now at the peak of being a sixth-level Array Master.
With his current level of proficiency in Array Dao, stepping into the ranks of a seventh-level Array King shouldn’t take much time.
Six months should be enough.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan waved his hand and a pile of materials appeared before him, rapidly accumulating into a small hill.
Most of these materials were from Lu Yuan’s ring, the high-level materials were from Shi Jiantian, and some others came from Qi Long and Yi Wandao.
He intended to reach the seventh level of Array King within these six months.
In Ding Huan’s cultivation system, Array Dao, talismanic Dao, and Artifact Dao were all interconnected.
He wasn’t interested in Artifact Dao, so he needed to start studying talismanic Dao now.
He had encountered talismanic Dao earlier than Array Dao, and had also studied the full volumes of Taoist Talismans.
Despite having been busy with cultivation in recent years without crafting talismans, it didn’t mean he was inept at it.
Ding Huan grabbed the materials and effortlessly crafted a third-level talisman.
Looking at the third-level talisman in his hands, Ding Huan himself couldn’t help but marvel.
Sure enough, with higher cultivation, some things just came naturally.
He had made this third-level Fireball Charm without using a talisman pen, simply relying on his own True Fire with ease.
Taking out more materials, as they transformed in Ding Huan’s hands, the aura of the Dao Rhythm constantly shifted as well.
A few minutes later, a fourth-level Gale Charm appeared in Ding Huan’s hand.
Its grade was a bit low, but that didn’t matter to Ding Huan; he knew it was because he hadn’t practiced much.
He had accumulated a small mountain of materials here just to raise his level in Array Dao through the study of talismanic Dao.
As the materials dwindled, the number of talismans piling up around Ding Huan also grew.
From lower-grade fourth-level talismans to high-grade fourth-level ones, and then to lower-grade fifth-level talismans...
