Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 1170 A Few Questions

To be honest, in Ding Hao’s imagination, people like Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng were a pair of immortal couple, sacred and inviolable. They were legendary figures who were otherworldly, high above the masses, and overlooked all living things.

But after less than three hours of contact, Ding Hao really felt that these two immortal figures were two funny people.

“Aren’t they supposed to take revenge while saving the world and the people?

“They’re actually obsessed with the Heroes’ League.”

Before they could finish the conversation, another round of the ranking competition began. The couple that they had played up to a high-ranked big shot, who would lead them to get higher rankings. They wanted to seize the time to do that. So before they could finish their words, they started their killing in the game.

“Hao, we’ve said what we should say. There’s nothing else we can do for the time being.” Yu Qingcheng controlled the mouse to buy a suit and then controlled the hero on the computer screen to walk toward the defensive tower. While she was busy with the game, she looked up and said, “As you can see, your dad and I haven’t reached the Primordial Realm yet, so we have no way to affect the situation over there. Even if we go back, we will be a burden.”

Yu Qingcheng’s face was very calm as she said this.

Ding Hao did not feel any spiritual fluctuations from her with the Mind Essential, which showed that she was indeed in a calm and peaceful state. There was no regret or unwillingness in her.

Yu Qingcheng had turned from the previous stunningly powerful fairy to a middle-aged woman who seemed to have become an ordinary person, but she indeed had no regrets. She did her best and left it to fate. She and her husband had done everything they could. Their son and daughter had now grown up and made achievements that exceeded their most optimistic expectations, which was what they expected.

As for that dark power and what was about to happen in that world, she could only leave it to fate.

If everything in the Immortal Period was destined to happen again in this reincarnation, even if the invincible legend Xuan Tianzong was reborn, he couldn’t turn the tables. Yu Qingcheng and Ding Shengtan were like two candles. They had burned all their energy and made sacrifices with everything they had. Now they just wanted to live a peaceful life on Earth, the Human Path, for a few years like two ordinary people.

Moreover, they now had full confidence in Ding Hao.

Looking at the two figures immersed in the game, Ding Hao gradually figured out all this. Maybe these years on earth were the happiest and most relaxed time for his parents. This immortal couple was also made of flesh and blood, and they also had mortal emotions and desires. They had contributed everything they had to the Land of Divine Grace and the Land of Infinity. But now, they just wanted to live a happy life and experience a time that really belonged to them.

“That will be nice!”

Ding Hao’s face showed a slight smile.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was time to take over the invisible burden from his parents and shoulder the responsibility. In the past few years, they had made great sacrifices for him. They had turned from high and mighty legendary figures to two ordinary people.

In the past, Ding Hao even expected that Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng would leave a lot of tricks up their sleeves and various means to help him solve everything. Now it seemed that this idea was so selfish. They had been making sacrifices, but he had been asking for their favor.

“I may need to go back soon,” Ding Hao said. “If one day on Earth makes it a year in the world of the Heaven Path, then I can’t stay here for too long. The situation there is very unstable now.”

“Haha, I did a triple-kill again. With a master’s backing, I’m indeed skilled at killing!” Ding Shengtan laughed. After a long while, he looked back at Ding Hao and said, “You’ll go back today. Your mom and I are doing okay now. Although our cultivation is only in the Primordial Realm, it’s enough for us to deal with every possible situation on Earth.”

Ding Hao nodded. After thinking for a while, he said, “I’d better leave something to protect you.”

He took out six of the most powerful Metal Puppets from the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army. These puppets had been reforged by Ding Hao, and their strength had reached the Demigod Realm. They had gained initial wisdom. As long as they were wearing clothes, they looked absolutely the same as ordinary people in terms of appearance. They would stay here to protect Ding Shengtan and his wife. Even if this house was attacked by nuclear bombs, these puppets could keep them safe and sound.

These puppets could be placed in an inconspicuous corner of the house in daily life. They were like statues, motionless, and did not need food or water.

After that, Ding Hao took out two small green jade bottles, which contained elixirs refined by him with various divine medicines and magical herbs. These elixirs could promote vitality, prolong life, and nourish people’s skin. Ordinary people on Earth only needed to take one of them, and they could live a long life and be immune to all diseases. Ding Hao left his parents with hundreds of thousands of these elixirs, and the couple could take them as snacks.

Ding Shengtan and his wife did not refuse these gifts.

After all, their son wanted them to have these things. Even if they didn’t need them, they should accept them delightedly.

Yu Qingcheng reminded her son and said, “Hao, you don’t need to waste your time searching for Hades True Immortal. He’s a terrifying master who wreaks havoc in the Immortal Period. His intelligence is definitely not something an ordinary person can compare to. Back in the Immortal Period, there were countless experts in the world, but in the end, they were all trapped by him. If you want to fight against him, it’ll probably be difficult for you to gain the upper hand. Now the Heaven Path world has changed, the six paths are gathering, and the power of heaven and earth is recovering. For Hades True Immortal, this is definitely the best time to make a comeback and realize his dreams. You just need to wait. One day, he’ll show up on his own. As long as you’re strong enough, you’ll be able to defeat him. During the first few hundred years before his comeback, his strength hasn’t completely recovered. This is your best opportunity.”

Ding Hao nodded and kept it in mind.

Indeed, during these past few years that he was in the Heaven Path world, he’d always been secretly searching for the location of Hades True Immortal, yet he’d only found some useless information. The mysterious place this Immortal Devil of dark power had been hiding was impossible to fathom and utterly impossible to be found.

Ding Hao thought for a moment and asked another question, “By the way, in the mysterious cave on the cliff of the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, there was the white Immortal Liquid and the mysterious Souls of the Saber and Sword…”

“Well, we did prepare those things for you. Originally, we left a piece of memory in your mysterious body’s entity to guide you to find them. But it’s great that you found them on your own.” Ding Shengtan’s computer screen dimmed. Obviously, he had died in the group battle just now. Then, he turned back and said, “Your mom and I obtained the Immortal Liquid and the Souls of the Saber and Sword when we used the space-time Divine Artifact to return to the end of the Immortal Period. Originally, we wanted to stop what was going to happen in that era, but unfortunately, we were too late. We could only settle for the second best and bring some things back for you!”

Another mystery in Ding Hao’s heart was resolved.

It was a pity that Ding Shengtan and his wife did not know the real identities of the Souls of the Saber and Sword. At that time, they had only extracted them from a saber and a sword. When they were extracted, the Souls of the Saber and Sword had been asleep. Later, they had been nourished by the Immortal Liquid. After countless years, the Souls of the Saber and Sword had woken up, which were the Saber Master and the Sword Master. However, at this time, the couple had left the cave in the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, so the Sword Master and the Saber Master didn’t know them.

In fact, when Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng left the cave with the Immortal Water and the Souls of the Saber and Sword in the cave, the mountain range there was not called Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain, and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect hadn’t been established. Countless years later, maybe because of the nourishment of the Immortal Liquid’s Spiritual Qi, some ancestors of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect noticed the Spiritual Qi there and thought that it was a blessed land with Spiritual Meridians, so they set up the sect there. However, the restriction formations left by the Ding couple were so brilliant that no one in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect discovered that cave in the next thousands of years.

Only Ding Hao, who had the blood of Ding Shengtan and his wife in his body, would notice the cave.

This was the cause and effect of everything that had happened.

As for other important details, Ding Hao could only ask the Saber Master and the Sword Master about them.

Ding Hao then asked about Ding Honglei.

Yu Qingcheng taught him the method of refining the profound energy entity, but it could not be guaranteed that the life-bonded strange stone would have Ding Honglei’s memory and character when it was restored, although it might have Ding Honglei’s appearance. Ding Hao could only have a try.

“I have one last question,” Ding Hao said, “I heard that it was Grandpa who personally attacked you on the battlefield of the Ancient Kylin Peak. What is the reason within?”

Ding Hao had always been troubled by this.

Even now, the Old God Emperor’s whereabouts were still unknown.

Ding Shengtan looked away from the screen, thought for a moment, and said, “You’d better find out about it yourself because I haven’t got the answer either. Since your grandfather took action at that time, it seems that he has completely disappeared from the world. No one knows whether he is alive or dead. It has become a great mystery… It seems that even the next God Emperor, Bai Wuji, didn’t know.”

Speaking of this, Ding Shengtan finally couldn’t help sighing and said, “Bai Wuji… Haha, I didn’t expect him to die first. He is relieved now. There is a saying on Earth that you just can’t be yourself in the game. It’s really profound. This saying tells the sadness and unwillingness of all the people who master martial arts in the world. Hao, if you see Ding Tong again in the future, just spare him.”

Ding Hao nodded.

“All right now. You should leave. It’s useless for you to stay here. We’re fine. You don’t need to worry about us. By the way, next time you come, remember to take your wives with you, haha…” Ding Shengtan laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ding Hao also showed a smile on his face.

The figures of his parents on Earth overlapped with that of Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng. It turned out that his parents had always been by his side, caring about him, and had never abandoned him or left him. This feeling made Ding Hao feel extremely touched.
