As Ding Huan packed away the Star Core Stone, on an abandoned planet extremely distant from the Triple Heaven Star Land, a cultivator with a greenish face suddenly looked up towards the Triple Heaven Star Land.
His eyes filled with disbelief, he muttered to himself,
"It can’t be, who could have found my Star Core Stone? Even Luo Bei couldn’t do it..."
However, his eyes quickly filled with a sense of despair. He subconsciously looked down at his chest, where there was a bloody wound.
A grey aura of death still emanated from the bloody mark.
With his injury not healing, even knowing someone had taken away his lifeline, he could only watch helplessly as others took it away.
"Although I could go there right now, I can’t go. As long as this person doesn’t leave, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to come back if I do go.
One day, I, Lou Yunsheng, will personally reclaim what belongs to me."
After the green-faced man finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.
Yet his trembling fist revealed his extreme inner rage.
…
Although Ding Huan had studied the Array Patterns and learned how to arrange Arrays through the patterns, he hadn’t discovered that among these patterns was a hidden Teleportation Array Pattern.
Therefore, he didn’t leave immediately.
Not only that, he even implanted a top-quality Earth Fire Vein and let the flames from his Sea of Consciousness grow along this Earth Fire Vein.
After doing all this, Ding Huan opened up a space right next to the Earth Fire Vein, at a height of fifty zhang and length and width surpassing a hundred zhang each.
Then he planted two top-grade Star Sky Spiritual Veins and two top-grade Spirit Veins in this space.
He was planning to cultivate here for some time.
The Earth Immortal Perfection powerhouses who came out with him from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield could stay in the Triple Heaven Tao City if they wished.
Those unwilling could freely find places to seclude themselves for cultivation.
But everyone tacitly understood that as soon as cultivators from Jiuyuan arrived on the Triple Heaven Star Land, they would gather immediately and eliminate them.
For Ding Huan, his current power was at the Star Domain Realm.
Although he was confident that his power was sufficient to handle ordinary Immortals, it was clearly not enough.
He needed to continue his seclusion, preferably increasing his cultivation to a level higher than the Star Domain before Jiuyuan’s people could reach the Triple Heaven Star Land.
Before secluding himself, Ding Huan took out two items. The first was the giant Iron Drum.
He didn’t have time during the last encounter at the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, only managing to Refine the first layer of Prohibitions on the Iron Drum.
Now he intended to continue Refining the Iron Drum to see how many Prohibitions he could break through.
The main reason he was spending time Refining the Iron Drum was that he lacked top-level Magical Treasures; the only Attack Treasure he had was the Separation Spear.
The Separation Spear was actually quite decent, but as Ding Huan’s power continued to grow, the spear increasingly became insufficient.
Without a better Attack Treasure, he could only focus on enhancing his attack ability in other ways.
For him, his main offensive ability was the Divine Will Ability.
His Yellow Blossom Killing had slain enemies unseen multiple times, whereas Drum Killing hadn’t been used yet.
If he could Refine the Iron Drum beside him and combine it with the Drum Killing Divine Ability, he might even be able to stand against Earth Immortal cultivators.
The second item was a Crystal Ball.
Ding Huan didn’t know why Ji Gu would give him a Crystal Ball.
But when Ji Gu gave it to him, she mentioned that this Crystal Ball was no trivial matter and advised him to be cautious.
Now almost at the core of the Triple Heaven Star Land, surrounded by his Arrays and Prohibitions, it was naturally safe to activate the Crystal Ball here; it should be considered cautious enough.
Just as Ding Huan was about to activate the Crystal Ball, he suddenly thought of the timing when Ji Gu gave it to him.
She gave it when no third person was around, and right after giving that advice to be careful, she left without another word.
What did that mean?
Those who had come out from the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield were certainly very reliable.
So why would Ji Gu avoid these people?
After thinking for a while, Ding Huan couldn’t figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it.
The Crystal Ball was activated by Ding Huan, and what appeared before him was a hazy entrance shrouded in mist.
But this hazy mist quickly disappeared, and in its place was a bamboo forest.
That’s it?
This is no trivial matter? And he needs to watch carefully?
Ding Huan really wanted to tell Ji Gu, "If you want such a scene, I can create ten thousand of them for you."
Initially, Ding Huan thought there was something more behind the Crystal Ball. He waited for several minutes, but what followed was blank.
The Divine Will swept over and confirmed this blankness.
He shook his head, ready to put away the Crystal Ball.
It was at that moment that Ji Gu’s voice came from the Crystal Ball, "Ding Sect Master, you’ve waited until now, which shows you take my words seriously, thank you..."
Ding Huan’s heart was shocked. These old Earth Immortals really each had a few tricks up their sleeves.
His Divine Will had detected no fluctuation of Dao Rhythm in the Crystal Ball, yet Ji Gu had still left a voice message in it.
Indeed, worthy of being the legendary Loose Cultivator Earth Immortal of the Triple Heaven Star Land in the past, a feat he couldn’t manage just now.
But soon he would learn, with a tangible method right here, if he still couldn’t learn, then he would be a fool.
"...Sect Master Ding, the scene you saw just now is from the deepest part of the Cultivator Avenue District located at the bottom of the Four-layered Sea Canyon.
I have seen Wu Zhanxia secretly visit this place several times. After many investigations, one time I finally sensed a strand of true high-level Taoist Rhythm.
This Dao Rhythm is definitely higher than that of the Triple Heaven Star Land and isn’t the kind of Immortal Bridge Dao Rhythm that Wu Zhanxia simulated.
I suspect that the place shown in the image is the true location of Immortal Fate. Or rather, if one wants to ascend to the Immortal Realm from the Triple Heaven Star Land, this might be the only way..."
Ding Huan put down the Crystal Ball and furrowed his brows.
The words of Ji Gu were somewhat contradictory.
The Ascension Tower hasn’t been able to facilitate ascension for merely a century or two, has it?
And Ji Gu entered the Four-layered Sea Canyon definitely before the Ascension Tower had lost its power.
Since the Ascension Tower of the Triple Heaven Star Land was capable of ascension, why was Ji Gu suggesting that the Four-layered Sea Canyon might be the only source of Immortal Fate?
Ding Huan believed that Ji Gu, as a legend of the Triple Heaven Star Land, absolutely wouldn’t make a mistake about such a matter.
If that was the case, the only possibility was that the Ascension from the Ascension Tower in the Triple Heaven Star Land was fake.
Ji Gu knew this, and perhaps others did as well.
Ding Huan decided to wait for Ji Gu to return and then ask her about it.
After all, his current cultivation was still weak; to ascend, he would at least need to advance to a level comparable to an Earth Immortal.
His Divine Will resting on the Iron Drum, Ding Huan decided to continue refining the drum.
When he was at the Star Transformation Realm, he barely refined the first layer of Prohibition on the drum.
Now that he was in the Star Domain Realm, spending a bit more time to refine the drum up to the tenth layer of Prohibition probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.
His Divine Will once again enveloped the Iron Drum, and the drum sounds that were nearly shattering his Divine Soul resonated.
Ding Huan was startled; he was certain that if he were still in the Star Transformation Stage, he couldn’t even think of refining the second layer of Prohibition.
Because the second layer’s Prohibition on this drum was far more complex than the first,
fortunately, now he had his Star Domain, and under its coverage, his Divine Will constantly ground away the Prohibition using the Great Universe Technique.
The Great Universe Technique was truly a remarkable Cultivation Technique.
Ding Huan speculated the reason why this drum stood ten zhang tall was probably because no one could refine it.
Originally, though the drum played a role on the battlefield, it was merely struck in a simple manner.
If he hadn’t cultivated the Great Universe Technique, he wouldn’t have been able to refine even the first layer of Prohibition.
Or perhaps it was luck that he refined the first layer of Prohibition; after many years of erosion on the battlefield, his Divine Will formed into a Drum Mallet, and on the first strike - as if by a stroke of good fortune - he managed to refine the first layer of Prohibition on the drum.
The second layer of Prohibition was more complicated than the first. By refining the first layer, it was as if it established a connection between Ding Huan and the drum.
Under the Great Universe Technique Circulation, Ding Huan took eleven days to refine the second layer of Prohibition and then seventeen days to refine the third layer.
After refining three layers of Prohibition, Ding Huan did not continue to refine as he needed to cultivate.
He didn’t have the time to refine the drum up to the tenth layer of Prohibition; fully refining it might take several years.
There was still no news from the Triple Heaven Star Land, and Mu Chengzi and the others hadn’t sent him any messages either, indicating that nothing had happened outside.
If not cultivating at this time, then when?
...
Yi Qianxing returned to the City Lord Mansion of the Triple Heaven Tao City, and with well-established rules and regulations, the Triple Heaven Star Land had already stabilized.
With Ding Huan gone, he simply stayed at the City Lord Mansion to handle some matters and then also took the opportunity to seclude himself for cultivation.

In the years since becoming a Tower Immortal, he had almost been squandering his days.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have time to cultivate, but rather, he lacked sufficient resources.
As the Tower Immortal of the Ascension Tower, he needed to stay by its side at all times.
Therefore, Yi Qianxing received the respect of the entire Ascension Realm Cultivators, but at the same time, he paid the price of his cultivation stagnating.
Yi Qianxing started his cultivation to a surprisingly good start.
He felt that his current seclusion in the City Lord Mansion made cultivation particularly easy.
Many aspects of the Great Dao he hadn’t been clear on, now seemed crystal clear.
In just a few short days, he had advanced to the seventh layer of an Immortal.
It should be noted that he had been stuck at the sixth layer of an Immortal for a full hundred years; now, it took only ten days to advance to the seventh layer.
Indeed, the City Lord Mansion was abundant in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and beneath it lay a top-grade Spirit Vein.
But Yi Qianxing knew the more important reason for his breakthrough was his newfound clear comprehension of his own Great Dao doubts.
With such an opportunity for clear comprehension of the Dao, where would Yi Qianxing waste any more time? He devoted all his time to seclusion and cultivation.
Previously, being in the company of Earth Immortals, although no one would look down upon him, Yi Qianxing always felt somewhat uneasy.
He knew that not only him, but Xiang Fengbei as well would feel uncomfortable.
After the Sect meeting ended, Xiang Fengbei was the first to leave the Triple Heaven Tao City, heading back to his Sect for seclusion.
Otherwise, how would they not feel awkward, all as Immortals, following behind Ding Huan, who was surrounded by Earth Immortals?
Three months passed quickly.
Yi Qianxing couldn’t believe it himself; by the end of the third month, he had advanced to the eighth layer of an Immortal.
Even though Yi Qianxing was aware that it was due to his foundation being exceedingly profound, it was the clear Dao Rhythm that played the main role in his advancement.
Originally planning to break through to the ninth layer of an Immortal in one fell swoop, Yi Qianxing’s efforts were interrupted by a hurried Cang Yongqian returning.
