Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

After a good while, Ding Huan finally snapped back to reality, clasped his hand in salute, and said, "Bai He and I are bosom friends. If you don't mind, would you be willing to come to my spaceship for a chat?"

Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi were not the least bit bothered and immediately put away their Flying Shuttle, landing on Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot.

Ding Huan nodded, regardless of whether these two felt their strength could crush him or thought him worthy because he was Jia Baihe's friend and thus climbed aboard the Cosmic Pot.

Just based on this fact, these two were no ordinary folks.

In fact, Ding Huan's thoughts were quite correct. Both Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi believed that since Jia Baihe took him as her only friend, his character couldn't be too poor.

The main reason they dared to come aboard Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot was still Jia Baihe's cultivation.

Never mind that they were friends with Jia Baihe—in reality, Jia Baihe's cultivation was far below theirs.

Jia Baihe was only at the Da Yi Immortal Realm.

This was because Jia Baihe had an extraordinary talent and cultivated extremely fast.

If it weren't for that, Jia Baihe might not have even reached Golden Immortal.

Even though Ding Huan was friends with Jia Baihe and had an even higher aptitude than her, it would still be impossible to become an Immortal King.

And an Immortal King to them was someone who didn't even need to lift a finger to crush opponents.

As for Ding Huan's Cosmic Pot, he had it before reaching the realm of Immortal, when its speed was already faster than Immortal Artifacts.

This Flying Treasure couldn't measure Ding Huan's cultivation; it only showed he had great fortune.

Thus, they dared to come aboard the Cosmic Pot, certain Ding Huan, even with impure intentions and aided by a trapping array, could never be their match.

When Ding Huan was at the Immortal Venerable stage, there was still an outflow of aura, allowing others to discern his cultivation level.

Now that Ding Huan has ascended to Immortal Emperor, with his Sea of Consciousness in the Dao Universe smooth and the Great Dao naturally integrated.

The aura of Dao rhythm no longer spilled out.

If he does not wish it, no one could see his true strength.

Ding Huan raised his hand and conjured three chairs, then brought out a tea table and placed it in the middle.

He earnestly served Immortal tea to Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi, sincerely saying, "Brother Zhuo, Immortal Yan, please tell me why Bai He fell. I would be most grateful."

Yan Qi could see the deep regret in Ding Huan's eyes and spoke before Zhuo Yao could, "Years ago, I was gravely injured and fleeing when I was besieged by a group outside the Immortal City of Shen Song in a canyon.

These despicable people tried to humiliate me, but my life was not meant to end. Bai He, who was cultivating in seclusion, saw it and used her myriad poisonous methods to kill those scoundrels. That's how we met.

At that time, she had just stepped into Golden Immortal. My husband and I invited her to Divine Sword Villa..."

As Yan Qi narrated, Ding Huan gradually understood the hardships and challenges Jia Baihe faced along the way.

Back then, they entered an ascension vortex passage together, and midway Jia Baihe was swept away by chaotic void currents; when she emerged, it was no longer the Fourth or Fifth Immortal Domain.

Jia Baihe wandered alone in the void for years, eventually finding the Chaos Star Land.

From her finding the Chaos Star Land, it was evident that her fortune was slightly better than Ding Huan's.

The Heaven and Earth Rules of Chaos Star Land were far more complete than those of the Fourth and Fifth Immortal Domains.

Jia Baihe knew her own situation and dared not appear where there were many people; she could only cultivate bitterly alone.

Fortunately, she practiced the way of the myriad poisons; those small fry who wanted to harm her were all poisoned to death.

After advancing to Golden Immortal, Jia Baihe stabilized her cultivation outside Shen Song Immortal City, encountering Yan Qi gravely wounded and surrounded.

The way of myriad poisons Jia Baihe cultivated was least afraid of sieges.

Seeing Yan Qi's plight reminded her of her own past, so she did not hesitate to save her, poisoning all those men.

This became the turning point in Jia Baihe's fate.

Yan Qi was no ordinary person, she was the Dao companion of Zhuo Yao, Manor Master of Divine Sword Villa.

Invited by Yan Qi, Jia Baihe arrived at Divine Sword Villa.

Jia Baihe had the Immortal Spirit Body, which in other places would make her an easy mark.

But at Divine Sword Villa, no one dared target her.

Thus, at Divine Sword Villa, Jia Baihe spent the most peaceful period of her life.

Here, she cultivated to Da Yi Immortal, and her progress indicated she would soon break through to Daluo Immortal.

Just then, Chong Dongzi, Young Palace Master of Heavenly God Palace, came to Divine Sword Villa seeking the Five Petal Luo Lotus.

Upon seeing Jia Baihe, Chong Dongzi instantly fell for her and recognized her Immortal Spirit Body.

Chong Dongzi immediately confessed his love to Jia Baihe, only to be scornfully told to get lost.

As Young Palace Master of Heavenly God Palace, how could he easily let go of a woman he fancied?

He quickly returned to Heavenly God Palace to ask his father, the Palace Master Chong Shenjin, to come to Divine Sword Villa to propose marriage.

Jia Baihe was merely residing at Divine Sword Villa and had no ties to it, so Zhuo Yao decisively rejected Chong Shenjin.

He didn't even bother informing Jia Baihe.

Although Divine Sword Villa held a notable place in Chaos Star Land, it was still far inferior to Heavenly God Palace.

Palace Master Chong Shenjin viewed Zhuo Yao's rejection of his proposal as an affront to Heavenly God Palace, and immediately led powerful forces to attack Divine Sword Villa.

Divine Sword Villa had always refrained from outside conflicts, but Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi, powerful as they were, could not surpass Chong Shenjin.

Moreover, within Heavenly God Palace, there were four or five others as strong as Chong Shenjin.

So this battle doesn't need to be fought; everyone knows that the Divine Sword Villa is no match for the Heavenly God Palace.

As she spoke, Yan Qi's eyes were slightly red:

"Bai He knew that if a fight broke out, our Divine Sword Villa would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties, or even be destroyed. She stepped forward on her own..."

Ding Huan felt a tightness in his heart, with a killing intent swirling deep within.

"Bai He said she's a married woman, and her husband is Ding Huan. Both Zhuo Yao and I know that Bai He is lying, she's not your Dao companion.

When the Young Palace Master Chong Dongzi of the Heavenly God Palace heard Jia Baihe's words, he flew into a rage, he, he..."

Yan Qi seemed unable to continue.

Ding Huan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Sister Yan, please tell me the specifics."

Yan Qi raised her hand and threw out a Crystal Ball.

The Imaging Crystal Ball was activated, and Jia Baihe's image appeared in the void.

Ding Huan saw Jia Baihe once again.

He also saw that Young Palace Master named Chong Dongzi.

The Young Palace Master's face was full of anger as he pointed at Jia Baihe and cursed, "You, a whore who doesn't know how many have slept with, dare to speak of Dao companionship in front of this Palace Master, pah.

This Palace Master taking a liking to you, letting you warm my bed, is your good fortune, yet you dare to make excuses for this Palace Master, courting death."

Jia Baihe's face was pale, and as she opened her mouth, she spat out a Blood Arrow.

At this time, Yan Qi hurried forward to support Jia Baihe, who was trembling all over, her expression filled with despair.

Ding Huan felt as if his heart was pinched, suddenly regretting not letting Jia Baihe come with him.

Jia Baihe had feelings for him, and he could sense it to some extent.

But Ding Huan never imagined taking a second Dao companion, and this had nothing to do with Jia Baihe's other experiences.

Even with Wen Zhixi afterwards, he could also feel some affection from her.

However, Ding Huan similarly never thought of having anything with Wen Zhixi.

Arrived together from the Triple Heaven Star Land with Jia Baihe, and from the Fourth Immortal Region with Wen Zhixi, they all shared hardships.

Also due to the subconscious of not wanting too many ties with Jia Baihe and Wen Zhixi, Ding Huan did not choose to stay with them continuously.

At this moment, seeing Jia Baihe's face of utter despair and her eyes, Ding Huan's heart was filled with a sense of panic and unease.

"Chong Dongzi, watch your words. Your Heavenly God Palace may be strong, but our Divine Sword Villa does not fear you," Zhuo Yao angrily spoke, stepping out to stand in front of Jia Baihe.

"Heh, today we are here to see just how strong your Divine Sword Villa really is," Chong Shenjin chuckled, clearly not taking Zhuo Yao and Yan Qi seriously.

"Sister Qi, I've been lying to myself, now I understand..." Jia Baihe finished these words and spat out another Blood Arrow.

Ding Huan clenched his fists; being with Jia Baihe for so long, he naturally knew what Jia Baihe meant by saying this.

Jia Baihe thought that if even trash like Chong Dongzi cared whether she was chaste, he himself would certainly care even more.

But in fact, he had truly never thought of these matters.

Jia Baihe took out a Big Mouth Pot and handed it to Yan Qi, "Sister Qi, this is my most precious thing. If one day you meet Ding Huan, please bring it to him for me.

I have another request, let me go, do not stop me from seeking my own happiness, otherwise living will be more painful than dying for me..."

Yan Qi's face was already full of tears; she understood what Jia Baihe meant.

She released Jia Baihe.

Jia Baihe stood in place, her entire body instantly engulfed in flames.

It seemed she wanted to burn away all the evils of this world and return herself to innocence.

Some faint song that Ding Huan couldn't understand was heard, but Jia Baihe's voice Ding Huan would never forget.

Two streams of cold tears ran down his face, and before Ding Huan's eyes appeared once more the woman who had crazily fled with him in her arms.

This wasn't Bai He's fault; it was his fault.

He should have forgotten what love was, so he could ignore Jia Baihe's feelings for him.

In his madness to elevate his strength, striving to become an Immortal God and gain eternal life, was he really successful?

A ruthless Great Dao appeared in Ding Huan's mind.

This was obtained from that leather scroll.

According to the praise in that leather scroll, this was one of the top-grade Great Dao.

He used to despise it, thinking that the Great Dao should be one with emotions.

But in his pursuit of his own Great Dao and the path to Immortal Godhood, how was what he did any different from the ruthless Great Dao?

"This was left by Bai He back then." Seeing Ding Huan in tears, Yan Qi sighed in her heart and placed the Big Mouth Pot in front of Ding Huan.

Jia Baihe's final words before she died, as a woman, how could Yan Qi not understand?

She couldn't blame Ding Huan since this matter had nothing to do with him.

Ding Huan gently touched the Big Mouth Pot before him; it was the only thing he had given Jia Baihe.

Now it was Jia Baihe's most cherished item, brought back to him right before her death.
