Ding Huan began cultivating and quickly lost track of time.
Even when his communication bead lit up several times by his side, he didn’t notice at all.
At this moment, his heart and mind were completely immersed in the vast universe within his Sea of Consciousness, which was growing more robust.
His consciousness and perception wandered freely within this crazily expanding universe; this was his domain.
A year later when the seventh planet within the main star of Ding Huan’s Sea of Consciousness split off, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cultivating for a very long time.
That mysterious cosmic aura allowed him to be completely engrossed in the wild rise of his cultivation.
Ding Huan didn’t know what Cultivation Technique the guy who had closed up here before was practicing, but he was certain it was related to cosmic techniques.
The Great Universe Technique was a perfect match for this place.
Ding Huan decided to continue his closed-door cultivation, but before that, he wanted to check for any news from Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng.
After all, they had come as a team, and if there was a problem that required his help, he would need to see what was going on.
Glancing at the communication bead on his wrist, Ding Huan realized that Hu Wuxin had sent a message.
"We’ve found a vast sea, now going in to take a look..."
The message was only one sentence.
It seemed like Mo Zheng and Hu Wuxin were together.
Ding Huan sent a message back, but there was no response for a long time.
What was going on? Ding Huan felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Ding Huan sent another message to Mo Zheng, but there was also no response.
There must be a problem; Ding Huan did not continue cultivating.
No matter what, since they had come as a team, it was necessary for him to check if Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng had encountered any trouble.
This was a good place for cultivation, and if he planned to stay longer for cultivation, he would need to come back.
He had to leave temporarily now, and he could not leave these two mid-grade Star Sky Spiritual Veins behind.
These two mid-grade Star Sky Spiritual Veins were definitely enough for him to break through the Star Realm and enter a higher level.
Storing the two Spirit Veins in his ring, Ding Huan stepped on the stairway and returned to where he had come in.
Divine Will couldn’t scan the way out, only the walls of the great hall.
Without the Eye of the Great Wilderness, one would probably never be able to leave after entering unless one had the ability to tear through the space barrier here.
Even if he broke through the wall, it probably wouldn’t be the way out, and besides, the walls here likely couldn’t be broken.

Ding Huan searched carefully at his location and, after half an hour, with the help of the Great Universe Technique, he finally saw another faint staircase.
Without a second thought, Ding Huan stepped onto it.
The next moment, Ding Huan appeared at the foot of the mountain he had reached before.
As soon as he came out, Ding Huan sent messages to both Mo Zheng and Hu Wuxin.
After half a day, no messages came back.
Ding Huan could only carefully sense whether his Teleportation Talisman had been activated. Whether it was Mo Zheng or Hu Wuxin, if they encountered danger, they would definitely activate the Teleportation Talisman.
Since Ding Huan had crafted the talisman, he would be able to sense it if it had been activated.
Indeed, Ding Huan sensed that his Teleportation Talisman was activated—and at a very distant location.
Ding Huan immediately rushed over.
Two days later, Ding Huan stopped, and in front of him was indeed an endless sea.
But there wasn’t a single drop of water in this sea.
This was a sea that had been dry for who knows how many years.
Once a sea lost its water, it looked like a deep black hole, and this black hole had no edge.
Here, Divine Will was clearly suppressed; with Ding Huan’s extremely strong Divine Will, he could only clearly see things within a ten-mile radius.
Ding Huan estimated that when Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng came here, they would have done well to see clearly up to a hundred meters with their Divine Will.
Within the reach of his Divine Will, there were remnants of fossils of marine life as well as some deep ravines.
Within these ravines, fractured layers of rock could be clearly seen.
Ding Huan’s gaze fell on the deeper black hole, where there was also a trace of Spirit Vein’s aura.
Just to be on the safe side, Ding Huan still set up a Teleportation Array.
Thinking that Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng might have encountered trouble in this dried-up sea, Ding Huan was not the least bit negligent.
He not only set up the foundation of the Teleportation Array here but also used Void Sand to create a Level 7 Teleportation Array.
If he discovered any uncontrollable problems, he could activate the Teleportation Talisman and teleport out.
Having the foundation of a Teleportation Array and not having one are entirely different concepts.
Without the foundation of a Teleportation Array, activating a Teleportation Talisman could likely teleport him to an unknown location.
With a specific foundation for the Teleportation Array, his subsequent teleportation would certainly bring him back to the edge of this dried-up sea.
Because this Teleportation Array was a bit costly to set up, Ding Huan also set up a Concealing Array to hide the Teleportation Array.
He worried that someone would come here and dismantle his teleportation array.
After making all the preparations, Ding Huan finally stepped into this dried-up sea.
As soon as Ding Huan set foot in the sea, a whirlpool’s force swept over him.
Not good, Ding Huan sensed a problem and immediately tried to rush out.
However, the force swept in extremely quickly, in just the time it took to breathe, it had taken Ding Huan to the depths of the sea floor.
Before even touching the ground, Ding Huan summoned the Separation Spear.
Fortunately, he wasn’t ambushed.
Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief, certain that the edge of this dried-up sea had formed a natural teleportation rule.
As soon as one stepped into this sea, they would be transported to the depths of it.
Once inside this sea, it would be difficult to leave again.
Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng must have encountered the same as him, then they both tried to use a teleportation talisman to get out.
But the teleportation talismans he gave to the two were only Level 6, and they were random ones at that.
Such a talisman obviously couldn’t take the two away from this sea.
Moreover, upon entering here, Ding Huan’s Divine Will was suppressed again, now limited to a kilometer range.
Ding Huan cultivated the Great Universe Technique and had extreme confidence in his Divine Will; even his Divine Will was suppressed to such an extent.
Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng probably had almost no Divine Will left after entering, and at most, they could only take some things out of their storage rings.
Fortunately, he had set up a Level 7 Teleportation Array, but it was unknown whether it could be used.
Whether it could be used or not, Ding Huan was determined to try again.
A gentleman must also take care of the essentials; if his teleportation array couldn’t be used, then there was no need to look for Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng now, but rather to find a way out for himself.
He took out a teleportation talisman, activated the talisman, and in the next moment, Ding Huan was swept away by a spatial force, then landed effortlessly at the sea’s edge.
Great, his teleportation array worked very well, which greatly reassured Ding Huan.
There was a pile of Level 6 teleportation talismans in his ring; it was just a pity that he didn’t have any materials left. If he had the materials, crafting a few Level 7 Teleportation Array Talismans would have been even safer.
After all, as soon as he was teleported away, he would come back.
What if he walked farther away at the sea bottom, and the Level 6 talismans were of no use?
It’s unlikely, but definitely possible.
Feeling quite worried, Ding Huan stepped into the dried-up sea once again.
Just like the last time, as soon as Ding Huan entered the area of the dried-up sea, he was swept away again.
When he landed, Ding Huan confirmed that this location was different from the one he was first teleported to.
Just when Ding Huan was about to set up a simple teleportation array here, he saw two Combat Soul Crystals.
Level 9 materials, these were good stuff.
These two Combat Soul Crystals were even bigger than the ones Mo Zheng had picked up before.
Ding Huan picked up the two Combat Soul Crystals and put them into his ring.
As for the teleportation array, he decided not to set it up. All sorts of things could happen in here, and if his Level 7 Teleportation Array couldn’t take him out, setting up more arrays here would be pointless.
Feeling the direction in which the Teleportation Talisman he gave to Hu Wuxin had been activated, Ding Huan cautiously moved forward.
Along the way, not only did Ding Huan pick up three more Combat Soul Crystals, but he also found a piece of Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow.
This was the essence of the sea, not just for crafting Medicine Pills; a little piece could revive the dead and mend bones.
It was worth even more than the Void True Marrow he had obtained before.
The acquisition of the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow made Ding Huan even more careful on the road. While he came here to search for the Star Sky Spiritual Vein to enhance his strength, such treasures were, of course, as numerous as possible.
In the following days, Ding Huan did not acquire any more heaven-defying treasures like the Ten Million Year Old Sea Marrow, but he did collect a few more Combat Soul Crystals.
Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng must have been in here for almost a year; Ding Huan surmised that if something bad had happened to them, it would have happened long ago.
Thus, Ding Huan was no longer as anxious as before and instead proceeded more prudently, sensing and searching along the way.
After half a month, Ding Huan stopped at the edge of a huge rift.
In this vast dried-up seabed, there were countless such huge canyons.
The Divine Will that extended for kilometers could not penetrate and see the bottom.
Yet Ding Huan sensed that the Array Talisman he had given was activated inside this seabed canyon, indicating that Hu Wuxin and Mo Zheng had entered this seabed canyon.
Not only that, but Ding Huan also felt the presence of Star Sky Spiritual Vein within this seabed canyon.
It must be said, the Jade Scroll given by Hu Wuxin was very accurate, with two Star Sky Spiritual Veins lying in his ring, and now he felt the presence of Star Sky Spiritual Vein again.
This meant that the Star Sky Spiritual Vein here was not just present in a simple manner but was very plentiful.
Going down the canyon was definitely on the agenda, but how to do so needed to be approached in a relatively safe manner.
Having Divine Will was good, but his range was only a kilometer; what if it couldn’t be used after going down, and he died from a fall?
With this in mind, Ding Huan promptly took out materials to craft a parachute, just to be on the safe side.
