Meeting Nobunaga Sora
Chapter 1051 Meeting Nobunaga Sora
When Ding Huan's cosmic pot stopped again, it was already hundreds of millions of miles away from the City of Gods.
Before Ding Huan appeared seven steps, each one higher than the last, with flowing Daoist energy surrounding them and a powerful aura of the Great Dao.
At the end of the stairs was a building hidden in the misty energy, clearly a top-level Taoist sect.
Above these seven steps, three large characters, 'Seventh Step', are suspended from top to bottom.
Ding Huan knew about the seventh step, as it was considered one of the ten major Taoist sects in the world of gods.
One of them was Xian Qing'an, a seventh-step expert.
Ding Huan stood outside the Taoist gate, looking at the Taoist barrier.
He paused for ten breaths. If Xian Qing'an did not come out to see him, he would directly enter the 'Seventh Step' Dao Gate.
"Haha, it's been a long time, Fellow Daoist Ding. You're a rare guest indeed."
Ding Huan only waited for three breaths before Xian Qing'an's voice came, and then Ding Huan saw Xian Qing'an with long flowing hair stepping out of the void.
Despite being the seventh-step master of the universe, Xian Qing'an still harbored extreme fear of Ding Huan.
Ding Huan was someone who could easily defeat Jiang Jianwang and Lou Poyi. Xian Qing'an knew he was no match for either Jiang Jianwang or Lou Poyi.
"Greetings, Daoist Master Xian." Ding Huan clasped his hands in greeting.
He had little interaction with Xian Qing'an, but he knew that Xian Qing'an was a very shrewd and tactful person.
Xian Qing'an felt uneasy about Ding Huan's arrival. He had no connection with Ding Huan and had some indirect conflicts, but these conflicts were insignificant and he had no grudge against him.
He was certain that someone like Ding Huan wouldn't appear at the Seventh Step Gate without a reason.
Xian Qing'an quickly returned the greeting: "My seventh-step Heavenly Rank Dao Tea is passable. Please, Fellow Daoist Ding, come in and have a seat. I will brew some tea for you."
"Then I'll have to bother you." Ding Huan didn't stand on ceremony at all. He sensed that the Dao Pearl was inside the 'seventh step' of the Dao Gate.
Just as Ding Huan was about to step into the seventh step of the Dao, he sensed the Dao Pearl approaching him, and then he saw a man and a woman walking down the Dao steps.
Ding Huan was immediately certain that the Great Dao Pearl was on the man.
"Your name seems to be Jia Fan," Ding Huan said, blocking the man's path.
He knew the man, and he also knew the woman.
The woman was Xiang Yuanfei of Zhenwu Shengdao, the Daoist companion who cuckolded Geng Yuan.
These two used to be secretive about their relationship, but now they're openly dating.
Jia Fan and Consort Xiang both knew Ding Huan, and they guessed that Ding Huan's visit might be related to them.
Moreover, Ding Huan was standing with their Dao Master, Xian Qing'an.
"Greetings, Daoist Master; greetings, Senior Ding." Jia Fan and Consort Xiang Yuan quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.
Xian Qing'an was, after all, a seventh-step cultivator. When he saw Ding Huan blocking the sect disciple Jia Fan, he immediately realized that Ding Huan's arrival at the seventh step was probably to find Jia Fan.
Ding Huan and Geng Yuan had a close relationship, and he had heard about it.
Consort Xiangyuan was Geng Yuan's previous Daoist partner. Although they had never been together, Jia Fan's interference in the relationship between Geng Yuan and Consort Xiangyuan was an irreconcilable enmity.
Even if Geng Yuan no longer wants Consort Xiangyuan, the hatred between Geng Yuan and Jia Fan cannot be resolved.
Ding Huan is here most likely to stand up for Geng Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist Ding..."
Xian Qing'an wanted to invite Ding Huan to the sect first, and then explain the matter in detail later.
If Ding Huan is allowed to teach Jia Fan a lesson here because of Geng Yuan, then the reputation of the Seventh Step will be completely ruined.
He was also angry at Jia Fan.
It's utterly absurd that a promising holy monk would ruin his future for a woman.
Ding Huan waved his hand, stopping Xian Qing'an from speaking, and turned to Jia Fan to ask, "Fellow Daoist Jia, you know I am Ding Huan, so you should know what I need, right?"
He needs the Great Dao Pearl; this is not a secret, but an open secret throughout the world of gods.
Jia Fan clearly hadn't heard Ding Huan's words clearly; subconsciously, he shared the same thought as Xian Qing'an.
After all, Ding Huan had encountered him and Consort Xiang together more than once or twice.
Jia Fan's face turned pale and then red. After a while, he said, "I get along well with Consort Xiangyuan. If you insist on taking Consort Xiangyuan away, I, as a junior, dare not say anything."
In terms of age, Jia Fan is many times older than Ding Huan.
However, in this world, strength reigns supreme. Ding Huan is on par with the Seventh Step Universe Master. No matter how powerful Jia Fan's background is, he dares not forcibly stop Ding Huan from taking Xiang Yuanfei away.
Not only that, he also had to act like a junior in front of Ding Huan.
Upon hearing Jia Fan's words, Consort Xiangyuan's face instantly turned pale.
She found herself to be like a stupid pig.
She had heard about Geng Yuan's advancement to the seventh step of the Great Dao.
She actually abandoned a seventh-step Daoist, who was also her rightful Daoist partner, for a man like Jia Fan who could discard her at any time.
Ding Huan said indifferently, "I have no interest in your trivial matters. You know I am Ding Huan, so you naturally know that I am currently collecting Dao Beads and Dao Pillars from the Great Dao Disc."
Hearing this, Xian Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief.
So it wasn't for Consort Xiangyuan? That makes things easier.
The fact that Ding Huan collected the Dao Beads from the Great Dao Disc was known throughout the entire God World; it was indeed no secret.
"I know, senior. As long as you give the order, I will definitely serve you." Jia Fan said respectfully.
Xian Qing'an nodded. Although Jia Fan's attitude made Seventh Step lose face, who was Ding Huan? He was a stronger expert than himself, and there were no outsiders present, so Jia Fan's words were acceptable.
Ding Huan nodded: "Then thank you very much. Sell me all the Dao Beads and Dao Pillars you have. You have no use for these few Dao Beads. I won't treat you unfairly."
When Ding Huan said he wouldn't treat people unfairly, he really meant it.
Whether Jia Fan wants a top-grade Dao vein or a chaotic Dao vein, he can give it to him.
Although Jia Fan was a seventh-step Saintly disciple, the Chaos Dao Vein was still very far away for him.
Jia Fan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Ding Huan was bluffing him.
He was certain that no one knew he had obtained the Dao Pearl and Dao Pillar, and that he had never revealed or mentioned it.
If that's the case, why did Ding Huan still ask him about the Dao Pearl?
Could it be because I once paid attention to the Dao Dao Disc and the Dao Bead?
That must be it.
Ding Huan has a close relationship with Ji Sixin of the Gods Merchants' Pavilion, so it's not difficult to find out what he has paid attention to regarding the Dao Pearl.
But Jia Fan wasn't the only one concerned about the Dao Pearl. As long as he denied it, Ding Huan would never get any evidence.
Thinking of this, Jia Fan looked at Ding Huan with an innocent expression: "Senior Ding, I do know that you are looking for the Dao Pearl, but I really don't have the Dao Pearl. If I had it, I would have given it to you long ago."
"I can give you a Chaos Dao Vein or a top-grade Dao Vein..."
Ding Huan spoke calmly.
Whether we reason with him or not, he must take the Daozhu today.
Upon hearing about the Chaos Dao Vein, even Xian Qing'an's eyes widened; he longed for this very thing.
When Jia Fan heard about the Chaos Dao Vein, his heart clenched violently.
But then he realized the secret of the Dao Bead. He guessed that no one knew that he could obtain the supreme Dao technique 'Heavenly Heart Dao' from a single Dao Bead.
How could he possibly hand over such a Dao Bead?
If one day he can reach the seventh step with the 'Heavenly Heart Path', even Xian Qing'an can only look up to him.
"Senior, I really don't have the Dao Bead of the Great Dao Disc..."
As soon as Jia Fan uttered those words, Xian Qing'an knew things were going badly. He immediately scolded, "Jia Fan, if you have a Dao Pearl, then take it out."
One or two of these things are of no use to you.
He was certain that someone like Ding Huan couldn't have made baseless accusations.
Just like him, if he is certain of the existence of something, then it is a foregone conclusion.
Ding Huan raised his hand and grabbed a Chaos Treasure, throwing it into the void: "Take out the Dao Pearl, this is yours, and I'll also give you a Chaos Dao Vein."
He simply doesn't have time to waste here.
"Senior, I absolutely do not have a Dao Pearl."
Ding Huan's offer was so high that Jia Fan became even more determined in his decision.
With the sect leader here, what can Ding Huan do to me even if he's at the seventh step?
"Then I'm sorry."
Ding Huan put away his things and reached out to grab at the air.
A powerful aura of the Great Dao swept out, and Xian Qing'an, who was about to make a move, immediately stopped himself.
Jia Fan, whose cultivation level was lower, might not have noticed yet.
He was terrified; this Great Dao Domain was absolutely overwhelming.
Ding Huan's strength has increased far, far beyond what it was back then.
He was simply no match for him.
If he still wants to live, he shouldn't get involved in this matter.
Fortunately, no outsiders saw it here, so his 'seventh step' wasn't shameful.
Jia Fan clearly saw Ding Huan's handprint, but his body felt as if it were being held in place, and he couldn't move an inch.
Then, he witnessed Ding Huan easily tear open his world.
The seemingly solid world of the Great Dao, in Ding Huan's handprint, appeared as fragile as paper.
Jia Fan wanted to say he was willing to exchange, but now he couldn't utter a single word.
When Ding Huan opened up Jia Fan's world, the first thing that caught Xian Qing'an and Xiang Yuanfei's eye was a dozen or so stunningly beautiful women.
"Qi Qing, Li Xue'er, Zi Xin..."
Xian Qing'an exclaimed in shock. Not only was he at the seventh step, but some other missing women from other Daoist sects with strong aptitudes were also in Jia Fan's world.
Ding Huan swept his hand away, leaving the female cultivators outside, and at the same time pulled out six Dao Beads and one Dao Pillar from Jia Fan's world.
"Jia Fan, you, you..."
Consort Xiangyuan's hand trembled as she pointed at a rusty, mirror-like magical artifact in Jia Fan's world.
That was her master's wife Zhuo Yi's magic weapon.
Because Zhuo Yi was the most opposed to her being with Jia Fan, she later disappeared in the Chaos Zone. Unexpectedly, the magic weapon appeared in Jia Fan's world.
Even an idiot would know how Zhuo Yi disappeared.
Ding Huan didn't care about any of that; he turned to leave.
However, a cold voice came: "Leave the things behind, and you don't need to leave."
Sensing the familiar Daoist aura emanating from the newcomer, Ding Huan immediately knew who it was—it was undoubtedly Xin Changkong.
