Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 359 - 354 Searching for Immortal Fate
Several Earth Immortals saw that Che Zhongzi had no reaction and didn't dare to wait any longer, turning around and quickly rushing out.
Someone took the lead, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty more people rushed out.
But there were still about thirty people remaining in place, waiting for Ding Huan to create a miracle.
Perhaps they thought the same as Che Zhongzi, having lived humbly enough over the years, yielding and begging in the face of Wu Zhanxia.
They had once been overlords in their own right, and since they could not find their Immortal Fate, it was better to die decisively rather than to stay in the Immortal Valley and wait for death indignantly; at least they would retain some dignity.
Apart from the more than twenty people who had left, the rest fell silent.
Nobody spoke; everyone's gaze was fixed on Ding Huan.
Time passed by the second, and now there was only half an hour left until the Life and Death Mirror's miasma burst forth; even if they left immediately, it would be too late.
Qi Yonghan couldn't help but speak out, "Fellow Daoist Che, I truly didn't expect someone as afraid of death as you to dare to stay here."
Che Zhongzi gave a wry smile, "I've always lived for others here, but with this last bit of time, I wanted to live for myself."
"Not bad, I've gained a bit more respect for you," Qi Yonghan gave a thumbs up.
Ding Huan completely forgot about the time, as he perceived the various Daoist Rhythms lingering on the Life and Death Mirror and ground away the various Mottled Dao Rhythms.
It was when his Divine Will came into contact with the first layer of prohibition that he suddenly awoke.
He could not continue to perceive slowly; refining the first layer of prohibition was the more urgent task.
Ding Huan dared not hesitate any longer; a blast of Killing Yellow Flower struck the prohibition, while the Great Universe Technique Circulation also furiously bombarded the first layer of prohibition of the Life and Death Mirror.
Even though he had not yet refined the Life and Death Mirror, Ding Huan already felt the transition between life and death.
At this moment, he fully understood how Wu Zhanxia controlled the life force in that passage and how he used the Life and Death Mirror to simulate an Immortal Bridge Space.
Wu Zhanxia clearly also wanted to refine the Life and Death Mirror but lacked the capability, unable even to remove the mottled Daoist Rhythms on the outside.
Wu Zhanxia could only strenuously search for the Dao Rhythm and Dao Principles of the Life and Death Mirror.
After all these years, he had some achievements; not only could he use the Life and Death Mirror's Immortal Rhythms to simulate the space of the Immortal Bridge, but he could also use the Life and Death Mirror's defense to lock down that space.
However, to lock down that space, Wu Zhanxia needed to pay a price.
Therefore, he preferred to let Mu Chengzi plot in secret behind his back rather than easily activate the Life and Death Mirror's ability to lock that space.
The Killing Yellow Flower's blast on the Life and Death Mirror's prohibition caused a slight tremor, and at that moment, Ding Huan's Great Universe Technique swiftly penetrated.
Various Immortal Rhythms were captured by Ding Huan, and the first layer of prohibition of the Life and Death Mirror was slowly refined by him.
"The miasma is coming out..." a voice of despair sounded.
Everyone saw a faint mist starting to seep out from above the Life and Death Mirror, and not only that but the mist in the river was also slowly spilling out.
At this moment, everyone fell silent; nobody spoke.
In the end, Ding Huan had failed.
Che Zhongzi, on the other hand, remained extremely calm; although slightly disappointed, this was all within his expectations:
"This is normal; although Ding Sect Master is astonishingly talented, after all, the time was too short. We Daoist Practitioners have lived for so many years; life and death are nothing more than this."
Jia Baihe was about to rush towards Ding Huan but then heard Ji Gu joyfully exclaim: "The mist on the Life and Death Mirror is being retracted."
Ji Gu's words were like a thunderclap that made everyone excitedly stare at the Life and Death Mirror; just as Ji Gu said, the mist that had burst forth was indeed retracting.
Not only was the mist above the Life and Death Mirror being retracted, but the mist from the great river was not only stopping its flow but instead turned into a long dragon of mist, rolling into the Life and Death Mirror.
In just a moment, the mist in the river disappeared completely.
"Ding Sect Master succeeded," Che Zhongzi clenched his fists, his eyes unavoidably red with emotion.
Those with dignity, in the end, seemed to have better luck.
While Ding Huan refined the first layer of prohibition of the Life and Death Mirror, he also tried hard to control all the outflow of the deadly Dao Rhythm.
The Life and Death Mirror possessed not only vitality but also the aura of death, and the mist that spilled out was the deathly aura of the Life and Death Mirror.
Though the Life and Death Mirror contained many mysterious things that Ding Huan needed to explore, he still ceased further refinement of the Life and Death Mirror.
Having refined the first layer of prohibition of the Life and Death Mirror, he could now collect the Life and Death Mirror. After collecting it, he could slowly refine it later.
"Sect Master Ding, twelve hours have passed," Che Zhongzi exclaimed excitedly as soon as Ding Huan stood up.
The rest of the people were also excitedly looking towards Ding Huan.
The implicit meaning in Che Zhongzi's words was that, with twelve hours passed, it meant that Ding Huan had suppressed the deadly miasma of the Life and Death Mirror.
Ding Huan noticed that there seemed to be fewer people around, and he had some understanding in his heart, yet he still asked, "What about the others?"
The reason he asked this question was that the Taoist Practitioner Area outside, the Immortal Valley space created by Wu Zhanxia, was about to disappear.
The existence of that space was supported by the Daoist Rhythm of the Life and Death Mirror, and as long as he took back the Life and Death Mirror, that space would compress and vanish.
Once the space vanished, all the cultivators within would certainly die.
"A bunch of cowards, all ran away," Ji Gu said bluntly.
Che Zhongzi vaguely knew why Ding Huan asked this question, as he had also obtained some information from Wu Zhanxia.
But he would never say it out loud.
Ding Huan sighed; there was nothing he could do. To ask him to call back those who had left was wishful thinking.
"My friends, I just refined the Life and Death Mirror and learned some information..."
When Ding Huan spoke, everyone was extremely quiet. None dared to breathe too loudly, all eager to find out whether this was truly the place of Immortal Fate.
Ding Huan pointed to the huge vortex above and said, "This vast vortex exists, in part, due to the Life and Death Mirror.
Wu Zhanxia did not deceive everyone before. If one's cultivation hasn't reached the Immortal Bridge Realm, entering this vortex from here will result in being swept away and devoured by the Life and Death Mirror, one hundred percent.
If one has cultivated to the Immortal Bridge Realm, there's a thirty percent chance to break free from the Life and Death Mirror and rush into this vortex..."
Hearing that there was only a thirty percent chance, everyone felt alarmed.
Because indeed, the odds were not great. It could only be said that more than half of the people here might perish.
"This vortex probably leads to a higher-dimensional plane; there's no doubt about that. Whether one can reach the Immortal Realm after entering the vortex, I cannot guarantee. Everyone must rely on their own fortune.
As for the Life and Death Mirror's sweeping force on cultivators charging into the vortex, I can temporarily control it."
After Ding Huan finished speaking, Che Zhongzi was the first to step forward and say, "Sect Master Ding, I am willing to be the first to try."
Ding Huan said, "Anyone can go in, there's no need to rush, wait for me to explain a bit."
After hearing these words from Ding Huan, another cultivator transformed into a shadow and rushed towards the vortex.
However, before he could get close to the vortex, he was swept away by a violent force and disappeared into the Life and Death Mirror.
Seeing this scene, the other cultivators who wanted to enter the vortex instinctively stopped in their tracks; they were seeking Immortal Fate, not a death path.
Ding Huan, as if he did not see what just happened, turned to the few people he had brought with him and said:
"Ji Gu, Yong Qian, Cen Huan, Yong Han, Bai He, this is our farewell. Who knows when we'll meet again. Please take care."
After saying this, he took out a stack of talismans and gave twenty to each person.
These were Level 9 Defense Talismans he had crafted himself. How things would turn out after entering the vortex, he couldn't help with. The only assistance he could offer was these Defense Talismans.
"Take care as well. In the vast universe, as long as we live, we will surely meet again someday," Ji Gu said, then also rushed towards the vortex.
Everyone watched Ji Gu closely. Just now, one of their own had rushed towards the vortex and got absorbed by the Life and Death Mirror, ending up dead.
Now, Ji Gu was also charging into the vortex, and everyone wanted to know if she would make it through safely.
Evidently, Ji Gu was unharmed; she safely charged into the vortex and disappeared in an instant.
"Sect Master Ding, thank you. If I, Che Zhongzi, survive, I will never forget this favor," Che Zhongzi said, then rushed into the vortex as well.
Just like Ji Gu, Che Zhongzi also entered the vortex without any mishap.
It was then that everyone realized why the first person was pulled into the Life and Death Mirror, as that person had not a shred of gratitude.
Ding Huan was still talking, asking everyone to wait for a moment, but he couldn't wait and rushed towards the vortex.
That didn't matter, but the fact that the person didn't even thank Ding Huan was telling.
The Sect Master didn't owe you anything; why should he suppress the deadly allure of the Life and Death Mirror for you?
Afterward, Cang Yongqian, Cen Huan, and Qi Yonghan each came to bid farewell to Ding Huan before entering the vortex.
All the others who remained came up to Ding Huan to announce their gratitude before entering the vortex, with some even offering treasures.
As for the treasures, Ding Huan did not accept them. His Earth Immortal ring contained who knows how many treasures, and he truly did not care about these offerings.

However, he did not want to help ingrates. After all his effort, to leave without a simple thanks—who did you think owed you?
In the brief span of 15 minutes, except for Jia Baihe, everyone else had entered the space vortex.
"Ding Huan, this farewell, I do not know if there will ever be a chance to meet again," Jia Baihe said, her voice tinged with sadness.
