Chapter 107 Search

One day in the Human Path made it one year in the Heaven Path.

This was the rule of time that could not be changed no matter how long it took.

As the head of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, Ding Chunqiu could not stay here for a long time. He simply met with his grandparents for a while. After dinner, he went straight back to the Heaven Path world to deal with the affairs of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, including the sea of consciousness of the brain of the Creator of All Things.

With Ding Chunqiu going back, Ding Hao could rest a.s.sured. Naturally, he was not in a hurry to go back.

Moreover, collecting information and searching for treasures was not something that could be done in a hurry. Otherwise, Ding Hao would not have explored the h.e.l.l Path, the Beast Path, and the Hungry Ghost Path first. He would not have come to reunite with his parents.

Of course, under the rule of time, Ding Hao could not stay on Earth for too long.

Not long after Ding Chunqiu went back, Ding Hao left home and went to visit Xiaoxiao.

However, he didn’t go in. He just watched the family from a distance.

Ding Hao did not want to disturb Xiaoxiao. After all, he did not belong to this world.

What made Ding Hao quite happy was that Xiao Aiguo had already recovered and seemed to be strong and healthy now. It could not be told that he was seriously ill some time ago.

After observing them for a while and seeing that Xiaoxiao and her family were no longer as gloomy as before and had a happy scene, Ding Hao silently left them some blessings. Then, he no longer stayed there. He turned around and left.

Xiaoxiao was chatting with her parents in the house when her expression suddenly froze. She seemed to have noticed something and looked into the distance through the window.

Just now, Xiaoxiao suddenly had a feeling that he had come to visit her.

…

In the hospital.

It was the hospital where Xiao Aiguo was hospitalized due to a serious illness.

At that time, Ding Hao was here, and he detected a dark aura in the bodies of those who were about to die.

This time, he came here to explore the situation of the dark aura.

Without attracting the attention of any medical staff, Ding Hao came to a ward through the corridors and walked in.

In the ward, the one in the front was a middle-aged woman lying on the hospital bed.

Her thin face was deathly pale. Her eye sockets were sunken, and her eyes were dull. Her dark circles were thick. Her mouth opened and closed as she was breathing rapidly.

Her pair of sad eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the ward. The ceiling was grayish-white, and she was desperate.

Ding Hao released his Divine Senses, which seeped into the middle-aged woman’s body.

As Ding Hao expected, there were also wisps of dark aura in the woman’s body, containing the power of death.

Ding Hao frowned slightly and probed other patients with his Divine Senses. The result was the same.

When Ding Hao previously came to Earth, he detected a few serious patients. The middle-aged woman was one of them.

There was a dark aura in their bodies, and their condition was still not getting better and even worsened. Once the power of death in the dark aura broke out, these patients would die.

Ding Hao felt a little depressed, partly because he pitied these patients, and partly because of the dark aura.

However, during the investigation, he made an important discovery.

After investigating serious patients one after another, he gradually found that Earth seemed to be evolving the two kinds of energy of life and death. With this energy, the world had reached a certain balance.

It was also because of this kind of energy that Earth was slightly better than the other five paths.

Of course, it was just slightly better.

…

After spending a day or two with his parents, Ding Hao returned to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect with his wives and children.

At this time, two years had pa.s.sed in the Heaven Path world.

During this period, the enthusiasm caused by the news released by Ding Hao had not subsided, and there were still people flying to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect from time to time.

These martial artists discovered many bizarre things.

They all held the idea that they would rather find the wrong thing than let it go.

That was to say, if one of the strange things they had was the information that Imperator Ding needed, then they could see Imperator Ding in person and get some rewards from him. They would rise with that honor. Such a good thing was what everyone longed for.

Therefore, even now, people kept coming to the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect.

As a result, there seemed to be a party at the foot of the mountain of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, just like a fair. Of course, this was the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Those martial artists who usually shouted to fight and kill, no matter how arrogant and domineering they were, did not dare to make trouble here.

There were too many of them. Before letting these martial artists meet Ding Hao, the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect naturally had to filter them out first. They had to tell the disciples in charge what they had found separately. Ding Chunqiu, who knew the inside story, would get to decide which martial artists were probably useful to Ding Hao, and which information these martial artists told was just useless intelligence.

Through such selection, most of these martial artists could only leave in a daze and try their best to search for strange things again. The martial artists with useful intelligence were allowed by Ding Chunqiu to stay in the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect temporarily, waiting for Ding Hao to come back.

If those martial artists were in an ordinary place and told to wait after reporting the information, they would naturally be dissatisfied. But here was the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, a holy land of martial arts, and the Spiritual Qi of the heaven and earth tides was so rich. The speed of cultivation here was many times faster than in the place those martial artists used to be.

Moreover, during this period, they could see the power of the supreme masters of the Heaven Path world up close. Not to mention letting these martial artists live here temporarily, even if they were told to stay here forever, they would probably nod and agree immediately.

And a few days ago, some disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect suddenly came to their rooms and told them the news that Imperator Ding had returned to the sect so that they could be prepared to meet Ding Hao.

…

On the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Peak.

As the Highest Elder, Ding Hao sat in the sect head’s seat. Ding Chunqiu sat on the left, and some elders were also there.

In the main hall, there was a middle-aged man standing there.

He was a handsome scholar wearing a white robe, but his face was a little sallow as if he had just been seriously ill. Although his face was handsome, it lacked vitality. His cultivation was not bad, and he had the strength of the one-apertured or two-apertured True Immortal Realm.

This man was an elder of the Heavenly Yang Palace, a relatively powerful sect in Sword Province. His name was Tian Yuanzi, and he was quite a character.

“Greetings, Imperator Ding and Sect Leader Ding!” Although Tian Yuanzi was usually arrogant, he was also respectful and did not dare to slight Ding Hao and his son.

“Haha, Brother Tian, please take a seat.” Ding Hao smiled warmly and waved his hand. A chair flew over and landed behind Tian Yuanzi.

Tian Yuanzi was flattered by Ding Hao’s action. He didn’t expect that Ding Hao, a supreme master, would be so polite to him. “No wonder those old guys didn’t seem to be disappointed when they went out without getting any reward before.”

“Brother Tian, what news do you have to tell me?” Ding Hao smiled and got straight to the point.

There were still many people waiting in line. Ding Hao only met one person every time, so he did not have much time to waste.

Previously, Ding Hao had met a lot of martial artists one after another. They either came to present strange things or to guide Ding Hao to some wonderful places.

But the final result proved that these were not the things or places that Ding Hao wanted. Although Ding Hao was not surprised, he felt that it was a pity.

Tian Yuanzi paused for a moment. After sorting out what he wanted to say, he cupped his hands and said, “Imperator Ding, when I was traveling a while ago, I encountered a very strange thing. When I pa.s.sed by a forest, a stream of light suddenly fell from the sky. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, there would be a meteorite falling from that place from time to time. But I didn’t expect that after the stream of light fell, it would suddenly fill with a strange energy and imprison that place. Even with my ability, I couldn’t enter it…”

Through the introduction from Tian Yuanzi, Ding Hao knew what he wanted to report.

This matter was indeed a little strange. It was very likely that it was what Ding Hao was looking for.

“Brother Tian, where is that place?” After thinking for a while, Ding Hao decided to go and have a look.

When Tian Yuanzi saw that Ding Hao was interested, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “That forest is in the northwest of Sword Province, close to Jin Province…”

Ding Hao nodded. He knew that place.

He walked down and put his hand on the shoulder of Tian Yuanzi. After he ran his power a bit, the two of them disappeared in an instant.

Ding Chunqiu murmured, “I hope it’s what Father is looking for!”

…

Tian Yuanzi felt dizzy, and then he found that he was high in the sky. A green forest was below.

It was the forest he had mentioned before.

Imperator Ding was indeed terrifying. He could cross the void and reach such a far place in an instant.

Tian Yuanzi was full of admiration.

“Brother Tian, where is the place you mentioned?” Ding Hao asked.

Tian Yuanzi stopped pondering, looked around, pointed to the front, and said, “We’ll reach there after another 20 to 30 miles…”

Ding Hao nodded and moved again.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place Tian Yuanzi had mentioned.

“That’s it, Imperator Ding.” Tian Yuanzi pointed to the front, where there was a strange mist. It was like an inverted bowl, covering that area as if it were a substance.

Ding Hao looked at it, paused for a moment, and walked over slowly.

As he walked, he sized the mist up.

Tian Yuanzi followed closely behind, not daring to disturb Ding Hao.

A short while later, they arrived at the strange mist.

“It’s indeed a little strange. Let me go in and have a look…” Ding Hao waved his hand gently, and a breeze blew. In the horrified eyes of Tian Yuanzi, the energy mist that he had been unable to solve disappeared in an instant, like snow meeting the sun, and the wind rolling sand.

Ding Hao took a step forward, and like a phantom, he instantly arrived at the center of the area.

Tian Yuanzi did not follow him this time and waited silently outside.

He vaguely felt that he might have found what Imperator Ding was looking for, and he was already very excited.

While he was waiting happily and nervously, Ding Hao finally appeared in front of him after about half a quarter of an hour.

“How was it, Imperator Ding?” Tian Yuanzi asked nervously.

To his disappointment, Ding Hao sighed, shook his head, and said, “Although it’s a good thing, it’s not what I’m looking for.

“Although I didn’t find what I’m looking for… Since you brought me here, I’ll give this to you as a reward!” As he spoke, he threw a palm-sized stone with strange patterns on it to Tian Yuanzi.
