Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 478 - 471: The Great Competition of the Immortal Sect Ends

After spotting the anomaly, there were still some who wanted to try their luck.

The reason was that, after facing off with Ding Huan, Array Masters, Ren Xian aside, did not suffer any fatalities.

With so many having tried and confirmed they couldn't take down Ding Huan, naturally, no one else would challenge him.

Seeing that no one else was challenging him, Ding Huan began searching for targets to challenge proactively.

Half a day later, everyone had noticed a pattern.

Ding Huan's targets were chosen sequentially, first were those from the Eight-star Immortal Sects.

If there were no Eight-star Immortal Sects, he would definitely challenge the Seven-star Immortal Sects, and only if neither were available would he challenge disciples from the Six-star Immortal Sect.

Not only that, once Ding Huan defeated any sect below or equal to Six-stars, he wouldn't consecutively challenge that sect again, waiting until the sect had earned over thirty points before he engaged in the next challenge.

Most importantly, Ding Huan did not kill.

Throughout the entire Battle Array competition, aside from killing Ren Xian, he never took a second life.

Quickly, news of Ding Huan betting on Da Fan Immortal Sect to rank first at Half Station Gambling House was leaked, and by then everyone had an epiphany.

No wonder he chose to tackle the Seven and Eight-star Immortal Sects first—it turns out Da Fan Immortal Sect aimed to claim first place.

On learning Ding Huan's intention, the Small Immortal Sect participating disciples were even more unrestrained in climbing onto the stage for battle.

As long as there were disciples from the Immortal Sects above Seven-stars on stage, Ding Huan wouldn't come to challenge these Small Immortal Sects.

Without the Seven-stars, there were still the Six-stars and Five-stars after all.

Even if they were challenged, as long as they conceded, their opponent, Ding Huan, wouldn't challenge them for several more rounds.

As the day was nearly over, Ding Huan paid another visit to the Talisman Fighting Arena. Having won the sixth round, he continued back to the Battle Array arena for the subsequent tournament matches.

In the final moments, Ding Huan sped up his pace.

In just under two hours, Ding Huan had successively won twenty matches.

By the time the crowd realized Ding Huan was scrambling for points, the Battle Array tournament had ended.

Ding Huan was very satisfied with this Battle Array tournament.

Everyone knew he was concealing his strength, but what of it?

Checking his Battle Array badge number, it boldly read: "Number 122, 1490 points."

Within one day, he had won one hundred and forty Battle Array competitions, with a detour to participate in a round of Combat Talisman elimination.

It could be said that the Battle Array's second place had some element of luck.

Logically, the second place would definitely be a strong Array Master, those Array Masters all stemming from Seven or Eight-star Immortal Sects.

Since Ding Huan specifically targeted these sects, it resulted in almost no scoring points in the tournament for the Seven and Eight-star Immortal Sects.

After knowing Ding Huan's purpose, any disciples from Immortal Sects below Seven-stars who faced Ding Huan's challenge on stage mostly chose to yield, saving Ding Huan a considerable amount of time.

Ding Huan was also quite astute; as long as everyone conceded, he wouldn't challenge the conceders in the following few rounds.

For another person, even with Ding Huan's level of Array Dao skill, it would be impossible to compete in more than a hundred Battle Arrays in such a short time.

Battle Array wasn't merely setting up an Array; it required the expenditure of vast amounts of Divine Will and Immortal Essence, often even more than for spell fighting.

For this kind of expenditure, aside from someone like Ding Huan, with a Dantian Star and Sea of Consciousness Dao Universe, truly no one else could cope.

Ding Huan returned to the Talisman Fighting Arena.

The seventh and eighth rounds were uneventful, concluding after a struggle.

At this point, many were not just suspicious; they were certain Ding Huan was hiding his true strength.

Those Immortal Sects had a clue, Ding Huan's way of concealing his strength didn't largely affect the sects below Seven-stars, he mainly curbed the sects above Seven-stars.

In the ninth round of Combat Talisman, Ding Huan once again encountered a disciple from the Eight-star Immortal Sect, Tai Yijian of the Jiukun Immortal Sect.

The challenge was to craft any fourth-level Immortal Talisman and have it scored on the platform.

Ding Huan began to gather materials for the crafting when Tai Yijian suddenly said, "Elder Lao Liu, I concede."

"21850 wins."

The results from the stage did not surprise Ding Huan. Recently too many competing disciples had surrendered to him upon reaching the stage, so one more Tai Yijian did not matter.

"Elder Brother Liu, this is my Communication Bead."

After stuffing Ding Huan with a Communication Bead, Tai Yijian turned and left the stage, not bothering to ask Ding Huan for a Communication Bead in return.

The nine rounds of the Talisman Fighting had all ended, and Ding Huan walked down from the stage unhurriedly, his Divine Will resting on Tai Yijian's Communication Bead.

Aside from its communicative function, this Communication Bead contained a message from Tai Yijian.

"I've received a message that after the Immortal Sect ranking competition is over, Ming Yu, Jie Qiwei, Fu Zeng, and Gong Qilin are planning to take you down, among them a certain Immortal King is specifically targeting you..."

Ding Huan was quite puzzled in his heart.

Of course, he knew who these people were—Ming Yu and Jie Qiwei were the Sect Master and an elder of the Eight-star Jiukun Immortal Sect, respectively.

Fu Zeng is the Sect Master of the Lingyao Immortal Pavilion, and Gong Qilin is the Sect Master of the Panxing Dao Sect, rumored to be Ren Xian's father.

It was normal for these people to target him, and it would be abnormal if they did not, so this news didn't surprise him.

Even if a few more people came after him, he would not find it unexpected.

In fact, Qian Lou was primarily focused on him at the moment.

What was abnormal was, he had no relationship with Tai Yijian whatsoever, so why would Tai Yijian send him this message?

Unable to figure it out, Ding Huan did not bother to ponder further. In the Battle Talisman Area, he did not have to wait long before the platform battles began.

At this point, all disciples participating in the Talisman Fighting platform matches had received the news that Ding Huan's main targets were the Seven Stars and Eight Stars Immortal Sects.

Regardless of whether Ding Huan was hiding his true strength, Sects below Seven Stars did not need to worry excessively.

Indeed, in the following platform matches of the Talisman Fighting, Ding Huan's first challenges were directed at the Eight Stars Immortal Sects and then the Seven Stars Immortal Sects.

Moreover, Ding Huan was very particular about the rules, only challenging disciples from other Sects when no Seven or Eight Stars Immortal Sect disciples were present on the stage.

Only when no Eight Stars or Seven Stars Immortal Sect disciples were left would Ding Huan start challenging those from Six Stars Immortal Sects.

He wasn't just fiercely shearing wool from one sheep; he was skillfully shearing a little from every Sect.

Not only that, but after he targeted a Sect for shearing, he also ensured that the Sect wouldn't lose points.

For the Seven Stars and Eight Stars Immortal Sects, this was terrible news, but for the Six Stars Immortal Sects, it was a blessing.

Because this meant that as long as they managed to secure enough points in the platform matches, they had the opportunity to ascend to the Seven Stars or even Eight Stars Immortal Sects.

This mutual understanding lasted the entire day, with Ding Huan ultimately winning one hundred and twenty-one matches.

He earned 1300 points in the Talisman Fighting.

Whether it was the Battle Array or Talisman Fighting, it was because Ding Huan utterly overpowered his peers and knocked down the strongest among them aside from himself.

So the second place in Battle Array earned only 320 points, while the second place in Talisman Fighting secured 380 points.

Neither in Talisman Fighting nor Battle Array did the top ten include a Seven Stars or Eight Stars Immortal Sect.

Ding Huan estimated his points and figured that the score was probably enough for Da Fan Immortal Sect to rank first.

His strategy for Fighting was not optimal, earning fewer points, but the Array Talisman would definitely compensate.

As for Pill Fighting and Battle Artifact, although he did not participate in them, it was highly unlikely that they would yield high scores.

This was mainly because both Pill Fighting and Battle Artifact would consume more time, and the strength of the competitors couldn't create a gap as significant as the one created by him.

The competition concluded, and all the major stages were successively closed down.

All eyes were on the final results, with tens of thousands of Divine Will focused on Ding Huan.

Ding Huan watched Qian Lou, who was lurking in a corner, waiting for him.

He guessed that after making the rounds, Qian Lou probably concluded that his Array Dao was the strongest and thus wanted to capture him for investigation.

"Elder Brother Liu..." The voice of Ji Changsi came through.

Ding Huan saw the dust-covered Ji Changsi quickening his pace toward him and immediately walked over as well.

"Elder Brother Liu, I have already sent your comrade to the Immortal Court," Ji Changsi said, his eyes full of joy, a stark contrast to the previous worries of Elder Mu.

"Thank you, Sect Master Ji," Ding Huan hastened to express his gratitude.

Indeed, it was somewhat inconvenient for Ji Changsi.

While other Sects were striving to not let their rankings drop in the Immortal Sect ranking competition, Ji Changsi had sent their Sect Master off on an errand.

"I should be the one thanking you."

Excitement shone in Ji Changsi's eyes: "I never imagined you could secure such high scores for Da Fan Immortal Sect; it makes me wonder if I am dreaming."

Ding Huan was slightly stunned: "Sect Master Ji isn't upset with me?"

Ji Changsi laughed heartily: "Upset with you for securing the first place for our Sect? Would I even deserve to be an Immortal Sect Master then?"

At this moment, the final rankings of the Immortal Sect competition were not yet released, but Ji Changsi already knew the scores Ding Huan had obtained; there was over an eighty percent chance for first place.

Ji Changsi was extremely spirited:

"Elder Brother Liu, Elder Mu is different from me. Although he has progressed a lot under my influence over the years, he still holds back when it comes to the survival of the Immortal Sect.

He's concerned that the Seven Stars and Eight Stars Immortal Sects might bully us, a newly risen Eight Stars Immortal Sect. As the Sect Master of Da Fan Immortal Sect, if I also worried about this, why should our Sect even exist?

Moreover, once we become an Eight Stars Immortal Sect, we will receive a hundredfold increase in resources. Without needing a century, our Da Fan Immortal Sect will indeed live up to its name."
