Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 883 The Surge of the Power

In less than half a year, everything in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had undergone subversive changes.

Ding Hao had never thought that he could migrate the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to the immortal land one day, which fulfilled the noble ambition of countless ancestors of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. If they were alive, they would definitely be relieved and delighted.

When looking up at the round moon which was as bright and clear as a plate, Ding Hao seemed to see the smiling faces of Li Jianyi, Qi Qingshan and Tang Folei in the moonlight.

It was time for the rise of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

The rise of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect depended on the means and the determination of Li Lan and the others.

Ding Hao did not want to expose the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to the Land of Divine Grace for the time being. It was the best choice to gain cultivation in the secluded Mountain Gate of Fortune like these days, for the whole sect was an “infiltrator” from the Land of Infinity, namely the devil star that the God’s Palace described. Once the God’s Palace knew about their migration, they would face a disaster.

Moreover, no matter how the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would develop, it was impossible to fight against the God’s Palace.

Ding Hao might have an irreconcilable hostile relationship with the God’s Palace due to his family background. Sooner or later, he would confront this formidable giant head-on. It might be extremely difficult, and he might die in the combat. However, Ding Hao did not want to get the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect involved in this matter because of him.

Some day in the future, when the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was strong enough, Ding Hao would utilize the power of the Sky-fleeing Stone Key to send the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect back to the Land of Infinity. He believed that after the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect returned, they would be able to compete with the top sects in the Land of Infinity at that time. Top sects with strong force like the River Palace and the Hidden Fragrance Peak should pay the price for their previous behavior.

Then Ding Hao could concentrate on figuring out the matters of the God’s Palace in the Land of Divine Grace. If possible, he could avenge his parents’ death.

Of course, the precondition of this was that he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

In the following period, Ding Hao was ready to conduct secluded cultivation for some time.

While he was lost in thought, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Ding Hao knew that it was Li Lan without turning around. She put a coat on Ding Hao softly with a pair of little hands, and hugged him from behind gently. Li Lan said softly, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”

Ding Hao smiled slightly, holding his lover’s little hands backhand and saying, “Why are you awake? Where’s Shuang’er?”

“I turned around and found that you were not there, so I came out to have a look. Shuang’er was sleeping soundly.” Li Lan released her grip on Ding Hao gently and came in front of him. She snuggled up against Ding Hao’s shoulder softly and said, “Brother Hao, is there something else on your mind?”

Ding Hao shook his head and said, “Shuang’er is back, so I have nothing to worry about. I just wonder what the relationship between the Land of Infinity and the Land of Divine Grace is. I always feel that they are definitely not two separate worlds that have no connection. I have told you about the matter of Lei Tingchan of Zero Thought Sect before. It is surprising that Lei Tingchan was directly teleported to the Land of Divine Grace from the space cracks in the Sage Battlefield. Does it mean that some masters who disappeared in the Sage Battlefield might have come to this world?”

Li Lan nodded and said, “I’ve also thought about this problem. I suppose there is a great possibility. There are missing geniuses who have not returned yet in both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan. If they really came to this world, their cultivation should be extremely high now.”

“Perhaps everything is not as simple as it seems on the surface,” Ding Hao said thoughtfully, “I feel that the Sage Battlefield is not a part of the Land of Infinity, but more like a part of the Land of Divine Grace. It seemed to be grabbed directly from the Land of Divine Grace by some unknown force and transferred to the Land of Infinity, because the rules, the Great Tao, plants and animals of the Sage Battlefield are almost similar to those of the Land of Divine Grace, which preserve the style of the archean times.”

“Maybe.” Li Lan nodded and leaned on Ding Hao’s shoulder quietly.

Ding Hao did not say anything more.

He knew that Li Lan was not so interested in the connection between the two continents. Li Lan was just interested in the revival of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, which was the most practical matter for her, because she had the blood of Li Jianyi flowing in her body and she was also burdened with Li Jianyi’s expectations.

Ding Hao felt relaxed when holding Li Lan’s soft and warm waist gently.

“Let the disciples of casting hall in the sect draw some design patterns of swords, sabers, armors, and other weapons needed by the sect tomorrow, and send the weapons to the Divine Sword Sect. Let them get it done quickly. It would be a waste not to use those people who were got for nothing,” Ding Hao said with a smile.

Li Lan also showed a smile on her face.

After a pause, she suddenly said, “Brother Hao, I reckon that you’ve really done something amazing this time. It’s really a brilliant idea to integrate the scattered tribes in the Ocean Forest together, and I don’t know why no one in the Land of Divine Grace has done this before. However, the strength of the physical cultivation can’t be underestimated. Now the warriors and the masters of various tribes only regard you as an admirable figure, and their force is terrifying, which makes people tremble. If you could control the power properly, once you have the will to compete for hegemony, fight for supremacy and lead the Celestial Tribe out of the Ocean Forest, you will definitely shock the whole world.”

Ding Hao shook his head and said, “I’m not interested in fighting for supremacy.”

Li Lan smiled slightly and said, “Brother Hao, I like your temperament of indifference to power and influence. However, in such a world where the weak are hunted down by the strong in the law of the jungle, you can’t completely detach yourself from the world. It doesn’t mean that others won’t bully you even if you don’t provoke others. As the saying goes, as soon as you enter the arena of the world, you have no choice but to fight for yourself. You can’t be free from care, and you need to fight for the people you cherish. At that time, it will be much easier for you to fight against the world if you possess such a force that makes the whole world tremble.”

Ding Hao was stunned and said with a sigh, “The world is like a tide, and people just go with the stream. Once you step into the world, things are beyond your control. You’re right. Where there are people, there is a world. Once you enter the world, you can’t control yourself.”

Li Lan thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade Ding Hao, but she didn’t expect that Ding Hao could completely understand her great pains.

In fact, the reason was very simple.

For Ding Hao, he just wanted to study hard in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the past. He thought that after he mastered the skills, he would go around the world with his sword and look for his missing sister. But later, he suffered from some unexpected disasters, such as making a life-and-death agreement with Mu Tianyang, having conflicts with both the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect and the River Palace and so on. If Ding Hao had not possessed a strong force and had some fortuitous meetings, he might have become a prisoner now.

Strength and power were the real guarantees of transcendence.

The weak have no right to be free and unfettered.

However, Li Lan did not expect that Ding Hao understood the helplessness of the world almost as deeply as she did, for he had seen countless films and television works and literary works in his previous life.

In the following period, Ding Hao began to conduct secluded cultivation.

The secluded cultivation lasted for at least half a month each time.

Only after breaking through a small realm would he go out of the hidden chamber to take a breath of fresh air. There was no Heaven Disaster or bottleneck in the cultivation of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, and the stowaways could cultivate themselves on the Land of Divine Grace at an extremely high speed, so Ding Hao’s Qi cultivation was growing wildly.

One-aperture Martial Grand Emperor!

Two-aperture Martial Grand Emperor!

Three-aperture Martial Grand Emperor!

In less than half a year, Ding Hao quickly advanced from the dual meridian one-apertured Martial Grand Emperor to the Completion of the dual meridian nine-apertured Martial Grand Emperor. He was only less than one step away from the Martial Sage Realm, and it was only a matter of time before he could reach the Sage Realm.

However, at this time, Ding Hao stopped his secluded cultivation.

He had vaguely felt that when he was on the verge of the threshold of the Sage Realm, his speed of cultivation slowed down slightly compared to before. In addition, he strode over a big realm in half a year at a crazy speed, and he also wanted to stop temporarily to consolidate his realm.

The enhancement of his strength had already surpassed the growth of his Divine Senses.

The improvement of the Mind Essential among the Invincible Fighting Method was a little slower. When one had probably reached the ninth realm-the One in True Self, the biggest improvement was that one’s Divine Senses were extremely condensed and immune to all evil, in addition to the power of the previous eight realms, and no external object could defeat or detect the Divine Senses.

The Divine Senses in the “One in True Self” realm could even spy on the opponents silently.

According to Ding Hao’s speculation, even a God Realm Master would probably be spied by his Divine Senses in the “One in True Self” realm, which was a qualitative leap.

After conducting secluded cultivation for half a year, Ding Hao felt that it was time for him to go outside.

He came to the Ocean Forest.

“We pay our respects to the Celestial Master!”

When Shan Xiong and the others saw Ding Hao in the Ocean Forest, they were very excited.

In the past half a year, the Celestial Tribe had developed rapidly, and their strength had grown wildly. Now, they could definitely be regarded as the most powerful force of the Ocean Forest five million kilometers around. Even the Surviving Species of the Untainted Land in the forest, like giant beasts and divine beasts, did not dare to confront the Celestial Tribe head-on.

Many giant beast forces that used to attack the Human Clan at will shrank back and played no tricks now. Some terrifying giant beasts with a strong sense of territory simply moved out of the scope of the Celestial Tribe’s control area and found another territory to avoid conflicts with the Celestial Tribe.

To various tribes of the Celestial Tribe, they lived a carefree life in the past half year, just like what the immortals did.

They could hunt at will with their strong fighting power. Food was abundant, and the safe environment within the territory made it possible for them to plough and sow. They farmed by the slash and burn method. Wheat and the other crops were also relatively on a large scale. Moreover, under the guidance of the disciples who excelled at agriculture sent by the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, they no longer purely regarded meat as their staple, and their living conditions had been greatly improved.

In the past half a year, Ding Hao had secluded cultivation. He rarely appeared in front of the tribes, but this did not affect his prestige in the entire Celestial Tribe.

When Ding Hao was in secluded cultivation, Li Lan intervened in the operation of this tribe.

Li Lan had rich experience and innate talent in managing the big forces, which was different from Ding Hao who just implemented laissez-faire management.
