Chapter 829 - You Decided on Your Own
Chapter 829 You Decided on Your Own
Ding Hao completely understood now.
“Did they choose some scapegoats?”
“Am I also one of the scapegoats chosen by Ding Honglei?”Ding Hao thought.
However, Ding Hao shook his head since his keen intuition from the Mind Essential felt no malice from Ding Honglei. She had been taking care of him all the time without any other aims, and she also treated him was like her relative and would never harm him.
Ding Hao firmly believed in that.
Ding Honglei was also carefully observing Ding Hao’s expression. Seeing that Ding Hao remained calm, Ding Hanglei nodded with relief and added “Of course, the most crucial thing is that the power of god-level masters is too formidable and the chessboard transmission formation cannot withstand it, so even if the formation is activated, it can’t transmit people.”
Ding Hao replied with an “Oh.”.
This was the most important point. If it was just because of what Ding Honglei had said before, there must be someone who would be courageous enough to take the risk of activating the transmission formation to have a look at the immortal land. After all, they were sure that the chessboard transmission formation was the fixed door to the immortal land.
Ding Honglei paused and said seriously, “Activating the transmission formation might bring people danger or great luck. Who knows what will happen? It depends on one’s fate. You have a Sky-fleeing Stone Key, which means you have a chance to enter the immortal land. As for whether you enter it or not, Little Chap Ding, you can consider it carefully. If you don’t want to go, you can refuse and I won’t force you.”
Ding Hao nodded but answered. He said, “Let me think about it before making a decision.”
“Okay, you have three days to decide.” Ding Honglei did not urge him.
Ding Hao suddenly smiled and said, “I’m very curious about the reason why you choose me. Masters like Song Que and Bai Quanshui are also outstanding talents. Besides, the little fatty Ren Xiaoyao from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who has great Fate Cultivation is also a good candidate.”
Ding Honglei rolled her eyes and said, “Boy, are you trying to make me praise you in another way? Bai Quanshui and Song Que are indeed rare geniuses. Ren Xiaoyao’s Fate Cultivation is also amazing. However, all of them are a little inferior to you. Don’t you realize that you have better luck?”
Ding Hao smiled.
Ding Honglei added, “However, Song Que, Bai Quanshui, and the others may have a chance. It is not impossible for sects like the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect to get more than one Sky-fleeing Stone Key.”
“Will these big sects send their talents to take the risk? After all, once they enter the chessboard transmission formation, their safety is not ensured.” Ding Hao asked.
“The core of martial arts lies in forging ahead with determination. There is no such thing as a risk-free opportunity in the world. Countless god-level experts obtained their current strength and status by seizing chances with high risks. The higher one stands, the more he or she will understand this principle clearly. Moreover, although the chessboard transmission formation is dangerous, it’s also an unprecedented opportunity. No one can resist such a temptation,” Ding Honglei said patiently.
Ding Hao nodded, organized his thoughts, and said, “Well, it seems that this is why you talk with me. Now that the business is over, can I ask something else?”
Ding Honglei laughed again and said, “Of course, and if I’m in a good mood, maybe I can solve some mysteries for you.”
Ding Hao was speechless.
“Are you in a good mood now?”
“Well, it’s not bad now.”
“Fine. Firstly, I wondered why you have always taken care of me. You helped me out many times, and you secretly helped me to deal with some undercurrents when I caused some troubles, right?”
“Huh huh huh, you’re smart enough to know that I dote on you,” Ding Honglei said with a coquettish laugh. She stretched out her slender finger and pointed at Ding Hao’s head lazily, saying, “My good intentions were not treated as malice. As for what you want to know, I’m suddenly in a bad mood. Let’s talk about it next time.”
Ding Hao, “…”
“Then let’s change the subject,” said Ding Hao.
“I’ve always been curious about the reason why the Human Clan and the Demon Clan are always fighting against each other. From what I see, if they can’t love each other, they can at least live in peace with each other. The world is so broad. Is there no place for the two clans? Besides, the supreme masters of the Demon Clan are not short-sighted. How did the two clans accumulate so much hatred in the past?!” Ding Hao asked.
The smile on Ding Honglei’s face faded and she said, “You’re wrong. We indeed have vast land in the world, but in fact, it can’t hold the two races that reproduce crazily. Rumors have it that the only reason for the outbreak of the First Holy War is that all the space in heaven and earth is occupied by the two races. They used up all the cultivation resources, and at last, survival became their only pursuit. You can’t imagine how terrified the population of the two races was due to their unlimited reproduction and development. Do you know why the power law and tide between heaven and earth are completely different from that of ancient times? It’s because the large quantity of the two races caused disorders in them.”
Ding Hao felt that he was familiar with Ding Honglei’s description. Wasn’t it the birth control policy that some big countries with large populations on Earth adopted to keep the prosperity of the country?
“When the world was just created, all the major clans, not only the Human Clan and the Demon Clan but also many other mysterious races, lived in harmony. There were hundreds of clans and numerous god-level masters. Legend has it that there were not only Land of Infinity, the immortal land, underworld but also other five continents, and they were connected. The birth rate was nearly the same as the death rate. However, the fate of the haven was in a circle. Something happened and made the circle broke. The birth rate and death rate changed dramatically. As a consequence of the closing of the circle, the population of the creatures in the Land of Infinity exploded and wars broke out. After countless battles, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan which had the greatest ability to reproduce became the two largest clans. Some exotic clans like the Gaint Clan and Primeval beasts were living on borrowed time, while other powerful clans were extinct.”
Ding Honglei’s simple words portraited a picture of a tragic and bloody ancient era.
Ding Hao opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
Today, Ding Honglei talked about so much astonishing news, which was only known by those god-level masters. However, was this the truth of the world?
Were the legendary Wars of the Gods and Devils referring to tragic wars between those clans?
No wonder there were always various immemorial ruins on this continent. Some of them contained incomprehensible forces as well as remarkable divine treasures. Nowadays, on the continent, the emergence and prosperity of many sects depend on excavating these divine treasures. Many cultivation methods, combat skills, and amazing magical powers were also obtained from these ancient ruins. In other words, these ancient ruins laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of today’s martial arts on the continent.
According to Ding Honglei, the existence of these ruins could be explained.
The fate of heaven collapsed, and then the circle closed.
What exactly had happened and caused these bloody battles on this continent for tens of thousands of years?
Because of his background, Ding Hao knew that there was a Land of Divine Grace beside the Land of Infinity, so the news about the other five continents did not surprise Ding Hao. What made him surprised was the other news.
When Ding Hao came out of the main hall, the crowd in the War God Square gradually dispersed.
The shore of Mirror Lake was still extremely crowded.
The alliance between the two clans didn’t begin, but there were still endless masters from both clans hurrying over. The remnant waves of the Life-and-Death Arena didn’t disappear. Standing in the high hall, one could still feel the noise of this place.
However, after the great victory of the Human Clan, the Demon Clan was no longer as arrogant as before. On the streets by the Mirror Lake, there were more and more people from the Human Clan. The experts of the Demon Clan who had previously provoked them at will had become much more well-behaved.
The Human Clan warriors could finally hold their heads high.
In many pubs and alleys, there were exciting discussions about the three battles. For the Human Clan, these three battles were worth recalling over and over again. Those who had missed the performance of the Mad Saber, the Phoenix, and the Saber and Sword Addict were absorbed in the story. They deeply regretted that they had not arrived in time and missed such a grand event not seen in a thousand years!
Ding Hao returned to Swordsmanship-seeking Villa.
The villa had been occupied by one of the forces from the Demon Clan before. After the Life-and-Death Arena battles, they relinquished the place for fear that they would irritate the three talents of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and bring about a complete catastrophe.
Everything in the villa was the same.
The owner of the villa was Huang Rong, who had been very rebellious. After the night when the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was robbed, Huang Rong became mature and capable, with her strength promoted to the Great Grandmaster Realm. She was in charge of the whole villa, and everything was in order.
There were plenty of people in front of the gate of the Swordsmanship-seeking Villa
Countless big shots of the Human Clan came to visit, and many young people who wanted to join the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect crowded at the gate of the villa. It was such a busy scene.
Seeing this scene from afar, Ding Hao had to sneak into the villa from the back door.
A grand celebration feast was being carried out.
Li Lan seized the opportunity to publicize the strength of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and also began to establish relationships with those top sects in the Northern Region. This was a perfect opportunity for the future development of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Besides, with the support of figures like Song Que and Bai Quanshui, the top sects in the Northern Region had to show some respect to the Jade-faced Asura.
Among the three talents of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Xie Jieyu had always been elusive, so she had never shown up since the competition.
Ding Hao was summoned by the supreme master of the Human Clan, so his absence was not surprising.
Therefore, Zhang Fan became the most eye-catching star.
