Chapter 391: The Woman in the Empty Swamp (Adding Chapter 8 for the Lone Wanderer's Desperate Bet)

       Ding Huanchuan stood in the desert, he was somewhat suspicious that he could actually receive a message from this place, whether it was the fourth divine realm or fifth divine realm.

    But according to the data he obtained, he died in the boundless void swamp, and the soul tablet left in the fourth and fifth divine realms can be shattered. In addition, just after entering here, the information can be sent out.

    Whether it is or isn't, Ding Huanchuan no longer wants to care about it. What he needs to do first and foremost is to survive here, and secondly, to cross this boundless void swamp.

    Here, one careless mistake could be deadly. Not to mention, when Ding Huanchuan just entered the boundless void swamp from that cosmic vortex and fell, he almost got eaten by a grasshopper.

    If he was still unconscious at that time, he would have become the food of the grasshopper.

    That cosmic vortex leading to the boundless void swamp is definitely a super-transformation vortex.

    Ding Huanchuan can imagine that among one thousand entering the cosmic vortex, even half survive is a good thing.

    Without a top-tier defensive treasure, entering here unharmed purely relies on luck.

    So it seems his luck is decent, as he only encountered a grasshopper that almost devoured him.

    Falling into a deserted plain, besides not being able to utilize the spiritual energy of this plain to cultivate, other influences on Ding Huanchuan haven't been discovered yet.

    This desert plain is absolutely not suitable for cultivation, nor can one use the spiritual energy here to heal injuries.

    The chaotic and patchy spiritual energy here is too terrifying.

    Ordinary cultivators practicing here are easily invaded by the patchy energy of Dao if they make a mistake, resulting in distortion of cultivation level and accidental injury. It is not too severe to burn through the essence, and it may even result in bursting into flames and death.

    If he were to cultivate here, he would have to modify his Great Universe Art of the Weekly Circle, removing the patchy Dao's rhythm of spiritual energy absorbed.

    Ding Huanchuan took out a frying pan and prepared to use it to fly out of this place.

    However, as soon as the frying pan was summoned, Ding Huanchuan realized that his idea was too naive, and he couldn't fly in this space at all.

    The spatial rules are also chaotic, and not only that, there's even spatial dislocation.

    If there are other things Ding Huanchuan isn't concerned about, spatial dislocation definitely calms him down. With his current cultivation level of Jinxian layer 2, he might not survive if he gets trapped in such spatial dislocation. This vast plain in the boundless void swamp is relatively safe, but Ding Huanchuan still encounters various unexpected incidents every day. In this plain, as long as one doesn't fly, spatial dislocation is not easily encountered. However, there are occasional attacks from hidden creatures. What surprises Ding Huanchuan is that the strength of these grasshoppers is basically within the range of one-level divine insects, yet they are all very good at disguise.

    They not only can disguise themselves as things that are exactly the same as the surrounding environment, but even the spiritual energy of Dao can be imitated to be exactly the same.

    If not for the fact that the cultivators among these grasshoppers are all of low level, Ding Huanchuan believes he could have really been deceived.

    That's right, it took him nearly half a year to cross this vast plain with great caution.

    In half a year, he improved his mind only and did not gain any cultivation level or found any rare treasures.

    This is because of the Great Universe Art he practices; the Great Universe Art of the Weekly Circle can directly strip away the patchy laws of Dao from spiritual energy.

    Otherwise, his cultivation level would not only not increase but would also decrease.

    He couldn't continue like this, Ding Huanchuan decided to find a place to seclude himself for a while.

    Absolutely cannot have the idea that you can leave the boundless void swamp quickly. If there's such an idea, he is not far from perishing.

    He should establish the idea that he will be trapped in the boundless void swamp for a long time, and maybe even forever.

    Since he will be here for a long time in the future, he must be prepared to practice here.

    With a relaxed mindset, Ding Huanchuan no longer hurriedly hurried on his journey.

    At the boundary of the desert, there are some puddles.

    Although this is just the edge, Ding Huanchuan could guess that stepping into this water area would be entering the swamp zone.

    Compared to the desert area, the swamp zone is definitely more dangerous.

    As soon as he stepped into this water area, Ding Huanchuan felt the spiritual energy here was even more condensed. Although the chaotic and patchy Dao's rhythm in the spiritual energy hasn't changed, the condensed spiritual energy is a good thing.

    His Great Universe Art can strip away the patchy Dao's rhythm from spiritual energy, and not only that, he can also set up a law array flag. Through the law array flags, a purification array can be set up to strip away some of the patchy Dao's rhythm as well.

    In the desert area, Ding Huanchuan hasn't seen a single blade of grass or a drop of water in half a year.

    Now Ding Huanchuan's feet were surrounded by water, grass, and even some low-level divine herbs.

    This boundless void swamp is truly mysterious, as if each place is an entirely different independent starland.

    The water area isn't large, and Ding Huanchuan has passed through it in one column of incense. He quickly discovered various natural traps in the swamp. Sometimes, a piece of empty land, if stepped on, will suddenly appear a black hole that swallows everything. Any carelessness could mean being engulfed by the swamp.

    All kinds of poisonous insects appeared continuously, but fortunately, these one-level divine insects posed no threat to Ding Huanchuan.

    After walking for a month, Ding Huanchuan stopped by a pond.

    So-called water hole is just a slightly larger water area in this swamp, Ding Huanchuan decided to practice here for a while. Whether he can enter the Immortal realm or not, he still has dozens of thousands of high-purity lower-grade divine crystals and tens of thousands of ordinary lower-grade divine crystals on his body. After determining that the location is safe, Ding Huanchuan carefully arranged various defensive arrays.

    The Jianpu of the Ten Thousand Void Swamp given by Wen Xianzi provides a comprehensive description of the swamp in the boundless void swamp.

    It's that one cannot practice here, as any cultivation will be marred by the chaotic and patchy rhythms of the Great Dao. So after arranging the defensive arrays and the gathering spiritual energy arrays, Ding Huanchuan began to set up divine arrays to strip away the patchy Dao's rhythm. Before, Ding Huanchuan had already arranged arrays for refining spiritual products, and now arranging this kind of array to strip away the Dao's rhythm only took a few more days. After all the divine arrays were set up, in case anything went wrong, while practicing, he still increased the orbit of his Great Universe Art, mainly focusing on stripping away the patchy rhythm laws from spiritual energy. It's probably only Ding Huanchuan who would dare to arrange a gathering spiritual energy array for cultivation in the Ten Thousand Void Swamp.

    Once the Great Universe Art has no limit in absorbing spiritual energy springs, the effect is incredible. Just a few dozen turns of the Weekly Circle, and Ding Huanchuan's location was fully surrounded by spiritual energy.

    Regardless of whether the spiritual energy has patchy Dao's rhythm or not, at this moment, all of it was swept over by Ding Huanchuan's Great Universe Art.

    Even Ding Huanchuan himself hadn't expected it; the spiritual energy in the boundless void swamp looks quite ordinary.

    In fact, when he practiced with the Great Universe Art of the Weekly Circle, the boundless and limitless spiritual energy rushed in, and it kept coming, becoming more and more concentrated.

    At this moment, Ding Huanchuan was completely immersed in the joy of enlightenment and cultivation improvement. In the fourth divine realm, although he practiced, he always felt something had blocked his throat. Even with abundant spiritual energy, his cultivation was not as smooth as it should be. When practicing in the void, there was no longer a feeling of being blocked at the throat. It always felt like something was missing, and there was always a shortage in the breath during practice. It was like constantly trying to climb up but always stepping on cotton candy.

    Now he finally didn't feel any restrictions, only crazily rotating the Great Universe Art to absorb spiritual energy, crazily expanding his own insight and universe of Dao, and enhancing his Dan Tian Starry Sea.

    In three months, Ding Huanchuan reached the third layer of the Golden Immortal.

    After a year, Ding Huanchuan broke through to the early stage of the Golden Immortal and arrived at the fourth layer of the Golden Immortal.

    While Ding Huanchuan was enjoying the absorption of spiritual energy and improving his cultivation level, he suddenly felt a halt in his progress, and it seemed that the spiritual energy was running low. He woke up from the blissful seclusion.

    Extending his spiritual perception, he realized that the million divine crystals he had taken out had all disappeared.

    Besides a few tens of thousands of ordinary lower-grade divine crystals, there is nothing else on his body. If he wants to continue training here, he can only completely absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth.

    Ding Huanchuan sighed, if he had sent a bit more money in the fourth divine realm, it would have been better.

    He didn't expect that the divine products in the fourth divine realm, which he considered of little value due to the restrictions of celestial and terrestrial rules, would have such a great effect here, even causing his cultivation to be hindered.

    As long as he leaves the Ten Thousand Void Swamp, he will definitely find more divine crystals to practice. There's no need to worry about running out.

    Ding Huanchuan folded up all the divine arrays, preparing to continue his journey, when his spiritual perception suddenly scanned over a figure.

    There are others who have entered the Ten Thousand Void Swamp and survived to reach this swamp area?

    Ding Huanchuan immediately walked towards the figure. What shocked him was that it was a woman.

    The woman had her hair disheveled, deep in the quicksand, and was rushing ahead as if something was chasing her from behind.

    Her clothes were like tattered rags, hanging in pieces on her body, exposing her brown skin.

    Ding Huanchuan knew that this should be the color of mud in the swamp and blood stains on her body. Ding Huanchuan decided not to interfere, as such things are everywhere. Sometimes, if you interfere, you will quickly get into trouble. As soon as Ding Huanchuan felt something was wrong, this woman's upper body was almost bare, but she was still running quickly without caring about her clothes. This woman seemed to be mentally unstable.

    Seeing the woman's direction of running, it seemed as if she was coming towards him. Ding Huanchuan was about to step aside when he saw a pair of familiar eyes.

    The woman's face was unrecognizable, but her eyes were ones that Ding Huanchuan recognized.

    Wen Xianzi?

    How could this woman possibly appear here?

    Ah, this woman must also have come here to the Ten Thousand Void Swamp. Otherwise, why would she have an extremely detailed description of the swamp in a jade slip?
