Ding Huan released a strand of Lou Yunsheng’s Divine Will, and Lou Yunsheng didn’t dare play any more tricks. He took out a Jade Scroll immediately and drew a direction to hand to Ding Huan:
"This is the true position of Jiuyuan Star..."
The Heart Inquiry Array didn’t sound an alarm; evidently, the position he gave this time was correct.
Ding Huan put away the position Jade Scroll, and a strand of Divine Will directly entered Lou Yunsheng’s Sea of Consciousness, beginning the Soul Search journey.
"Ah..." Lou Yunsheng let out a mournful scream:
"You’re not keeping your word—I gave you the position... You’re still performing a Soul Search on me... Ah..."
The dreadful pain came, making Lou Yunsheng feel worse than death.
This time he confirmed that Ding Huan simply couldn’t perform a Soul Search.
One could only say Ding Huan knew a little bit of the theory behind Soul Search, but had no idea how to organize the opponent’s Sea of Consciousness.
It was too late for regrets.
"Is that so? When I was preparing to Soul Search, when did I promise you could back out?" Ding Huan said disdainfully.
At this moment, Lou Yunsheng had no strength left to respond to Ding Huan, his Sea of Consciousness had already turned into a mess...
Ding Huan withdrew his finger, and Lou Yunsheng’s Divine Soul was completely extinguished.
"How did it go?" Jia Baihe asked.
Ding Huan casually grabbed Lou Yunsheng’s ring, raised his hand, and threw a Fireball at Lou Yunsheng’s corpse:
"This kind of vile trash, dying really is getting off lightly."
He hadn’t obtained even one percent of the information in Lou Yunsheng’s memories during the Soul Search, but he still learned a few things.
As he had guessed, the star where Jiuyuan Sect had originally been located was called Qiyuan Star Land.
The Cultivation Technique practiced by the Jiuyuan Sect was called the Jiuyuan Scripture.
This technique would become increasingly powerful the further one progressed, and once the Condensing Immortal Bridge was reached, it was invincible amongst those of the same rank.
However, cultivating the Jiuyuan Scripture required a Furnace Tripod; male cultivators needed exceptionally talented women as tripods and female cultivators needed exceptionally talented men as tripods.
Just think about it, on a great Cultivation Planet like Qiyuan Star Land, those with good aptitudes were naturally the treasures of the Great Sects.
Such practices of Jiuyuan Sect provoked public outrage.
Still, this wasn’t the main reason why Jiuyuan Sect was expelled.
The cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sect, when stepping into the Primordial Soul Realm, needed to consume the Vitality Enhancing Pills, which could strengthen the soul, for otherwise, they couldn’t withstand the power of the Jiuyuan Scripture.
The main ingredient for Vitality Enhancing Pills shockingly used the souls of top-level Spirit Root cultivators, and this method of using souls in pills, once exposed, utterly infuriated all the Sects and cultivators of Qiyuan Star Land.
Therefore, a thousand Sects on Qiyuan Star Land banded together to attack the Jiuyuan Sect, aiming to annihilate it.
On Qiyuan Star Land, Jiuyuan Sect was one of the top-tier Sects.
That battle resulted in countless deaths and injuries among the Sects of Qiyuan Star Land, and similarly, nine-tenths of the Jiuyuan cultivators were killed.
Those who survived triggered the Sect’s Teleportation Array, escaping from Qiyuan Star Land.
Knowing this information, Ding Huan finally understood why Lou Yunsheng was an Array Dao expert who specialized in setting up Teleportation Arrays.
If he and Jia Baihe recklessly went to Jiuyuan Star to unleash poison, they definitely couldn’t annihilate Jiuyuan Star.
Only by cutting off Jiuyuan Star’s Teleportation Array could they eliminate all the Jiuyuan cultivators on Jiuyuan Star.
Likewise, Ding Huan also understood why Jiuyuan recruited top talents from various stars.
This was entirely to refine Vitality Enhancing Pills and search for Furnace Tripods.
The genius disciples recruited by Jiuyuan were initially used as Furnace Tripods, and after that, their souls were still usable for a second purpose.
It’s safe to say that joining Jiuyuan meant the beginning of a tragic fate.
Sadly, those so-called geniuses from Triple Heaven Star Land, who desperately advocated for Jiuyuan, were unaware that Jiuyuan was the real threat to their lives.
The greatest irony in this world couldn’t be more than this.
Ding Huan, coming from Earth, was all too aware of how many such people existed.
"Given that, let’s head to Jiuyuan Star now."
Jia Baihe didn’t ask Ding Huan why; she was just eager to annihilate everyone on Jiuyuan Star, even down to an ant of Jiuyuan Star.
Ding Huan pondered for a while and said, "We can’t directly go there to unleash poison like this; that won’t kill them."
"Why?" Jia Baihe was eager to prove to Ding Huan that, while her poison had no effect on him, against others, it could kill as many as there were.
Wasn’t everyone terrified when hearing the name of the Poison Demon Jia Baihe back in the day?
Ding Huan said, "Jiuyuan Star has a Teleportation Array, and I’m worried that once they discover the poison, they will immediately teleport away.
When they committed heinous crimes on Qiyuan Star Land back then, they escaped through this method. This mistake occurred once on Qiyuan Star Land; we cannot allow it to happen again."
"Ah..." Jia Baihe was dumbfounded.
With a big Teleportation Array, what else could they kill?
If it were a Sect or even a fragmented planet, like the broken planet where Lou Yunsheng had secluded himself, they could still use a Forbidden Array to lock down the teleportation space.
Jiuyuan Star was a true Life Planet; there was no need to even ask how vast it was.
How can such a large planet lock down the teleportation space?
Ding Huan thought about it for a while before saying, "I do have a method..."
"What method?" Jia Baihe asked eagerly.
Ding Huan explained, "Even though Jiuyuan Star isn’t as vast as Triple Heaven Star Land, it’s impossible for just the two of us to use an array to lock it down.
We would need to sneak into Jiuyuan Star and find that big teleportation array..."
Ding Huan didn’t finish his sentence and shook his head.
It was incredibly difficult to infiltrate a planet like Jiuyuan Star.
Not to mention them, even the talented disciples recruited by Jiuyuan Star from Triple Heaven Star Land didn’t have the qualifications to enter Jiuyuan Star.
"That’s a great idea, you could disguise yourself as Lou Yunsheng..."
Jia Baihe finished speaking, took off the mask on her face, and handed it to Ding Huan, "Use this, I’m sure no one will recognize you."
A thought struck Ding Huan; he had just performed a Soul Search on Lou Yunsheng, although he only obtained one percent of the information, it comprised the most deeply ingrained memories of Lou Yunsheng.
If his appearance could also be disguised as Lou Yunsheng, then it really seemed feasible to enter Jiuyuan Star.
"Alright, let’s give it a try," Ding Huan said, took out Lou Yunsheng’s ring, and swiftly opened it.
"That son of a bitch, it really is a ring refined from a planet," Ding Huan cursed.
This planet-refined ring didn’t reach the standards of the True Spirit World, but it was an excellent small world indeed.
Soon, Ding Huan found an Array Flag inside the ring.
"You have to be careful, planets like Jiuyuan Star likely have a way to identify by aura," Jia Baihe cautioned Ding Huan, worried he might not have thought it through completely.
Ding Huan chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, if I hadn’t considered that, I wouldn’t go to Jiuyuan Star at all. You stay outside and wait for my signal."
"No, I’m coming with you. You go find the teleportation array, and I’ll set up the Poison Dao..." Jia Baihe confidently said.
After listening to Ding Huan and studying the Poison Fog of Hidden Sword Mountain, she was gradually progressing towards the Poison Dao Principles.
In fact, her poison had already formed a system by itself, creating her own Poison Dao Rhythm.
"You only have one mask, and you don’t have an identity, how can you go with me?" Ding Huan looked at Jia Baihe, puzzled.
Jia Baihe smiled sweetly and reached out to grab a Big Mouth Pot, "This, you gave it to me initially; it’s a small world. I will enter the small world, and you can bring me in."
"Okay," Ding Huan agreed, never pondering why Jia Baihe trusted him so much.
...
A month later, Ding Huan’s iron pot stopped outside a planet.
Ding Huan didn’t use his Divine Will to observe the planet, but it lay hidden under layers of atmosphere.
These layers of atmosphere actually blended seamlessly with the vast starry sky, making the planet virtually undetectable if one didn’t know it was there.
"Is this a cosmic natural prohibition?" Jia Baihe also saw the planet hidden in the layers of atmosphere and asked in surprise.
Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, this should be a natural Concealing Prohibition in the cosmos. Jiuyuan Sect indeed has skills to have found such a blessed land."
"Perhaps they knew about this planet long ago and just took it for themselves when they had nowhere else to go," Jia Baihe said dismissively.
"That’s very likely, now I’m going outside this planet to check; you get into your small world," Ding Huan said.
"Okay." Jia Baihe didn’t hesitate and directly entered her small world.
Ding Huan, carrying the Big Mouth Pot, stowed away the iron pot and focused his Divine Will on the planet hidden under the natural prohibition.
Soon, Ding Huan found four entrances and exits based on the information from his Soul Search.
The exits and entrances of Jiuyuan Star were separated.
That meant that every cultivator from Jiuyuan Star knew that the exit and entrance weren’t the same.
If he carelessly went to an exit, he could very likely arouse suspicion.
However, now Ding Huan changed his mind because he discovered the Array Core of Jiuyuan Star’s Star Protection Array.
An Array Core of a Star Protection Array was the hardest to find; sometimes, it was even more difficult than setting up an array for an entire planet.
Ding Huan was puzzled as to why he could discover the Array Core of this Star Protection Array.
From the setup methods, Ding Huan was sure the setter of this Star Protection Array was Lou Yunsheng.
He had learned Array Patterns from Lou Yunsheng, and this matched exactly.
Placing the Array Core outside the big array and locking it with Concealing Array Patterns was something no one else would do, but Lou Yunsheng had done it.
Clearly, Lou Yunsheng was guarding against someone inside Jiuyuan Star; otherwise, even familiar with Lou Yunsheng’s Array Patterns, Ding Huan wouldn’t have found the Array Core.
Of course, Lou Yunsheng was also very confident in his Array Patterns, believing no one could find his Array Core.
Ding Huan’s Divine Will swept up and again took out a yellow Array Flag from Lou Yunsheng’s ring.
This Array Flag was the main Array Flag controlling the Star Protection Array of Jiuyuan Star.
Now, Ding Huan didn’t need to use the Array Gate to enter Jiuyuan Star.
Ding Huan chose not to do so but began to set up Array Patterns that would cut off teleportation.

With control over the Array Core, he could easily add a Prohibition to cut off teleportation on the Star Protection Array.
Since there was no need to go inside to find the teleportation array, why should he waste time and take risks?
