Ga Xing Mountain.
The second highest mountain in the Triple Heaven Star Land Ascension Realm.
Moreover, this towering mountain possesses a natural airspace prohibition; Divine Will can’t even scan to the mountain’s summit.
After Ding Huan and Cang Yongqian arrived, Lao Dan, Xun Youshan, and Mu Chengzi, who were waiting there, received the news and immediately rushed over.
Standing at the foot of Ga Xing Mountain, Ding Huan said with emotion, "This place is indeed a good spot for a cave mansion."
"Ding Sect Master, didn’t you invite Cen Huan and Qi Yonghan over?" Seeing that only Ding Huan and Cang Yongqian came, Mu Chengzi, somewhat helplessly, asked.
If Ding Huan could solve the problem alone, they would have solved it long ago.
Ding Huan smiled and said, "On the way here, I heard Cang Yongqian mention that the dweller of Ga Xing Mountain might be a legendary being of Triple Heaven Star Land, right?"
"Yes, I guess he must be the old Poison Demon, Jia Baihe. I truly didn’t expect that this guy, not only hasn’t died but also hasn’t left Triple Heaven Star Land, instead, he resides on Ga Xing Mountain," Lao Dan said with feeling.
Cang Yongqian also sighed, "When I was young, Jia Baihe was already a legend of Triple Heaven Star Land. When I entered the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield, he was still that legend.
In any case, he was smarter than us; at least he didn’t choose to go to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield but continued to stay in Triple Heaven Star Land."
"Just because you sealed a Cosmic Vortex, you offended this poisonous being?" Ding Huan asked again.
On the way here, Cang Yongqian had told him that the reason why Jia Baihe imprisoned Fei Zhankong was that they had blocked a Cosmic Vortex here.
"Maybe there are other reasons. We need to ask Fei Zhankong specifically, but I feel this guy is probably just looking for an excuse," said Xun Youshan.
He and Mu Chengzi didn’t have much impression of Jia Baihe; after all, he was an existence from an even earlier era.
Ding Huan nodded, "Let’s go, we’ll go up and ask."
After saying that, Ding Huan directly headed towards Ga Xing Mountain.
"Wait, Ding Huan. We’re fine standing at the foot of the mountain, but as soon as we step onto it, we’ll immediately be poisoned and our cultivation will be sealed. If we’re late, we might never be able to come back down," Xun Youshan hastily called out to Ding Huan.
Ding Huan waved his hand dismissively, "Since we’re here, we’re bound to make the trip up."
Before he practiced the Great Universe Technique, he was already not afraid of most poisons. As his cultivation grew higher, his ability to resist all kinds of strange poisons became stronger and stronger.
If that was all Ding Huan could do, he truly wouldn’t dare to climb Ga Xing Mountain.
He now dared to climb Ga Xing Mountain because after practicing the Great Universe Technique, he constructed a special Detoxification Cycle.
In Ding Huan’s opinion, ordinary poisons were not worth his concern.
The most formidable poison was the poison of rules, and that kind of poison was genuinely terrifying.
But any poison of rules, as long as it doesn’t surpass the rules of this world, doesn’t surpass the rules of the Great Dao of his Great Universe Technique, poses no harm to him.
To step back even further, even if the rules of the poison surpassed his Great Dao rules, surpassed the rules of this world, it still wouldn’t be fatal to him.
At most, he would once again use the Great Universe Technique to construct a new Detoxification Cycle.
With this confidence, why would he fear Jia Baihe, the First Poison Demon of Triple Heaven?
"I’ll accompany you up," said Lao Dan, who trusted Ding Huan the most. When Ding Huan had decided to go to the Four-layered Sea Canyon, he followed without hesitation.
In the end, Ding Huan wasn’t just talking big. Not only did he teach Wu Zhanxia a lesson in the depths of the Four-layered Sea Canyon, but he also successfully led him out of the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield.
But those were not considered big achievements.
What truly impressed him was that originally, he fled to the Heaven-Splitting Battlefield because of Jiuyuan’s might.
However, after Ding Huan returned, his first move was to destroy Jiuyuan’s stronghold, Jiuyuan City, and then he turned Jiuyuan City into the Triple Dao City.
Not only that, but Ding Huan also led them in forcefully driving away the God, ensuring Jiuyuan’s people dared not seek revenge on Triple Heaven Star Land up to this day.
These were the acts that truly earned Lao Dan’s deepest admiration.
Keep in mind Ding Huan hasn’t yet reached Immortal level in his cultivation—if Ding Huan reached the Immortal or even Earth Immortal level, where would there be any place in Triple Heaven Star Land for the God and Jiuyuan to strut about?
Once upon a time, Luo Bei was a legend of Triple Heaven Star Land, but in Lao Dan’s heart, Ding Huan’s potential was much greater than Luo Bei’s.
He decided, as long as Ding Huan thought it was feasible, he would follow through with Ding Huan, and he definitely wouldn’t be wrong.
Even if he were wrong, so what?
Lao Dan had lived long enough and had done enough.
"I will go too," Cang Yongqian followed without hesitation.
Mu Chengzi and Xun Youshan were, after all, beings whose fame had spread for hundreds of years; seeing this, they also followed along.
If word got out that they were too scared to climb Ga Xing Mountain with Ding Huan, that would indeed be a huge embarrassment.
The moment Ding Huan stepped onto Ga Xing Mountain, he felt waves of poison invading.
Ding Huan extended his Star Domain, speeding up the pace.
Soon, Mu Chengzi and others, who were following Ding Huan, realized that as long as they were under Ding Huan’s Domain, they wouldn’t suffer any poison erosion at all.
They all looked at Ding Huan with admiration.
No wonder he could break into the Four-layered Sea Canyon, kick Wu Zhanxia in the face, and also drive away the God, preventing Jiuyuan from seeking revenge.
This Ding Sect Master was truly strong. His cultivation might not be the strongest, but his methods, indeed, were the strongest.
Lao Dan gave Xun Youshan and the others a glance, and though he didn’t speak, his meaning was patently clear.
To actually suspect Ding Huan, they must have no small measure of courage.
The rest caught the look in Lao Dan’s eyes and could only remain silent—what else could they do when they felt that even Ding Huan was at a loss?
As Ding Huan’s speed increased, the encroaching poison flow had transformed into a severe poison Dao rhythm, but Ding Huan did not slow down in the slightest.
The poison Dao rhythm morphed into various forms, even forming waves of poison surging toward Ding Huan and the others.
This was futile, as Ding Huan was still rushing towards the summit of Ga Xing Mountain at an extreme pace.
Such a towering peak that reached into the clouds that even Divine Will could not scan its top.
Along the way, there were various intense poisons and spatial prohibitions locked in place.
Within less than fifteen minutes, Ding Huan had led everyone to a clearing at the mountain summit.
Standing on the peak of Ga Xing Mountain, with clouds beneath one’s feet and surrounded by lush spirit grasses, in front of them lay a vast starry sky lake, truly a sight that uplifted the spirit.
"You are very strong," said a middle-aged man standing on the summit, looking at Ding Huan with a calm tone, his voice so hoarse it was almost outrageous.
He had an ordinary appearance with a scar across his face, his long hair tied into a cultivator’s knot, standing with his hands behind his back. This presence alone commanded a sense of awe.
Ding Huan, however, focused on the man’s face, most cultivators could easily remove such a scar.
This man’s facial scar seemed not left intentionally but rather unremovable, as even now, Ding Huan could still sense a strange aura coursing through the scar.
Seeing that Ding Huan ignored him, the man asked again, "May I ask who you are?"
Ding Huan then replied, "Blue Star Sect’s Sect Master Ding Huan. Are you perhaps the First Poison King Jia Baihe from Triple Heaven Star Land of old?"
"Why don’t you call me the First Poison Demon?" Jia Baihe asked, staring at Ding Huan.
"What defines a demon? Acting recklessly without considering the consequences or the common people, basing everything on one’s own pleasure and whim. From what I observe, you don’t appear to be such a person," Ding Huan said indifferently.
Jia Baihe didn’t care about Ding Huan’s words and continued,
"I slaughtered two sects, four clans, one thousand seven hundred and thirty individuals who chased after me. And I must tell you that whether in the past or now, I remain the undisputed First Poison Demon of Triple Heaven Star Land."
Ding Huan was somewhat speechless. He had only mentioned that the other was once the First Poison King, and that statement alone seemed to have made the man uncomfortable.
"Let’s not waste words. I heard my friend is detained here, so I came to take a look."
Ding Huan felt the poison fog Dao rhythm around him suddenly intensify, like a raging torrent no longer the intermittent flow they had encountered on their ascent but now a flood breaking through a dam.
Anyone else might have fallen already, turned into poison by the rules of toxicity.
But these waves of poison were mere trickles against Ding Huan’s domain, ruthlessly kept at bay.
"Lao Dan, this fellow wants to live in his own world with so much to say—catch him first," Ding Huan told Lao Dan, no longer interested in bantering with Jia Baihe.
Before Lao Dan could act, Cang Yongqian, who was already irritated, swung forth his long sword, a violent Sword Force locking onto Jia Baihe.
A sense of impending death swept over, and Jia Baihe was frozen in place.
How could this be? Why were these people unaffected by his cosmic poison Dao rhythm?
He risked death to collect these poison Dao rhythms, insanely lying in wait for one hundred sixty-seven days at the edge of the universe’s most dangerous dislocated spaces.
His survival to this day was sheer luck; every moment of those one hundred sixty-seven days, he could have been torn apart by spatial dislocations.
Cang Yongqian’s sword screen prevented him from continuing his thoughts as he frantically brought out a Big Tripod to defend against the onslaught.
Even without Ding Huan’s intervention, Jia Baihe was no match for Cang Yongqian.
Jia Baihe indeed had the capacity to kill Cang Yongqian without a form, but only if the latter were caught in his poison Dao rhythm.
Otherwise, Cang Yongqian’s swordsmanship was a hundred times stronger than his own.
In terms of power, he was not even close to being in the same league as Cang Yongqian.
Moreover, Ding Huan had gifted him a move called Yellow Flower Kill.
"Boom!" A single strike from Cang Yongqian tore through Jia Baihe’s defense domain.

And with Ding Huan’s Yellow Flower Kill blasting on his Divine Power Domain, his Big Tripod had not the slightest resistance.
Crack! The Big Tripod was cleaved away by Cang Yongqian’s sword.
A spray of blood misted the air, and atop Jia Baihe’s head, a deep sword mark appeared.
Ding Huan was puzzled—Cang Yongqian’s strike was aimed at Jia Baihe’s brow.
Yet there was no injury on the brow, while the top of the head bore the gash.
Considering the bizarre aura from the scar on Jia Baihe’s face, Ding Huan concluded that Jia Baihe was wearing a mask, one of an exceptionally high grade.
Cang Yongqian did not continue his attack but looked puzzled as he glanced at his own sword, then at the blood gash on Jia Baihe’s head.
The slice he had made was just the beginning of his Divine Skills; he hadn’t truly unleashed his swordsmanship yet, and Jia Baihe was already defeated?
With such a prominent reputation, why couldn’t he withstand a single blow?
If Jia Baihe knew Cang Yongqian’s thoughts, he undoubtedly would have been enraged, thinking, "I am far inferior to you, and yet someone used Divine Will Ability to ambush me while you struck."
