Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 32 The Primordial World

Ding Hao grabbed the void with one hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand.

Ding Hao handed the scroll to Evil Moon and said, “Find all the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys according to the locations marked on it. Then I’ll take you to that place.”

Evil Moon took the scroll, opened it, and immediately shouted, “Meow. Are you trying to get me killed? You’re telling me to go to the Arctic Cave, the Hellfire Cave, and the Dark Forest? They’re all on the edge of the continent. Do I have to find a few stones myself…”

Evil Moon complained. Ding Hao glanced at it and said indifferently, “If you don’t want to go, I’ll ask someone else for help.”

Evil Moon then said, “Did I say I don’t want to go? Only I can complete such a difficult task.”

With that, Evil Moon immediately conjured up six pairs of extremely beautiful white wings. It put away the scroll and flew around Ding Hao a few times.

Before leaving, Evil Moon asked Ding Hao, “I heard that the new master of the Feather Clan has 24 pairs of Golden Wings. How do they look? Aren’t they much worse than my six pairs of white wings? Where did you lock him up? I’ll eat his golden wings, and then I can have golden wings.”

Ding Hao was speechless.

“Hahaha, I’m just kidding. I’m going…”

Swoosh!

Evil Moon suddenly disappeared from the top of the Sword-hidden Peak.

The scroll Ding Hao gave Evil Moon marked the locations of the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys. They were detected by Ding Hao with his powerful Divine Senses. Even an ordinary martial artist who wanted to take risks would not be able to reach these places.

Only people like Evil Moon, who was immune to fire and water and were impervious to swords and sabers, could safely go to those places.

Moreover, Evil Moon’s speed was the fastest in the world, and it could complete this task in the fastest time.

By then, under the 10,000-year-old peach tree, only Ding Hao was left.

Ding Hao looked at the sky and seemed to be thinking about something.

Within the six paths, there was no place that Ding Hao could not reach. What kind of place was it that required him to spend so much effort to collect the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys and travel with the help of the space-time Divine Artifact?

It turned out that the Six Paths of Reincarnation were incomplete, which led to the regrowth of the Dark Seeds and caused the world to fall into chaos in the end.

Only by going to the place where all the chaos and even the entire six paths were born would Ding Hao be able to crack all mysteries.

And that place was the Primordial World.

…

Another half a month passed.

In the past half month, although there were still a lot of emissaries and martial artists who came to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, the number of Sky-fleeing Stone Keys the sect obtained was obviously not as much as that of the previous half month.

Ding Chunqiu did the math and found that they were still short of 100 Sky-fleeing Stone Keys.

Right at this moment-

“The emissary of the God’s Palace has arrived!”

The news of the arrival of the envoy from God’s Palace came from outside the hall.

Ding Chunqiu was overjoyed and said loudly, “Summon him!”

God’s Palace was the biggest help in the search for the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys. The envoy of the God’s Palace had been to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect three times, and he had brought no less than ten Sky-fleeing Stone Keys with him every time.

The envoy of God’s Palace must be presenting a lot this time.

“Greetings, Sect Leader Ding!”

The envoy of God’s Palace saluted Ding Chunqiu.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony. Did you come all the way here because of the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys?” Ding Chunqiu got straight to the point.

“Sect Leader Ding, you are wise. These are the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys collected by God’s Palace in the past ten days. Please have a look.”

As he spoke, the envoy of God’s Palace took out a bag, which contained 29 Sky-fleeing Stone Keys.

The elders of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect present couldn’t help but be shocked. The efficiency of God’s Palace was indeed impressive.

Ding Chunqiu nodded and said, “In this operation, God’s Palace contributed the most. Thank you very much.”

The envoy immediately replied, “We’re flattered, Sect Leader Ding. The God’s Palace will naturally do its best to help with what the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect needs.”

Whether it was the relationship between God Emperor Hua Mojian, Ding Hao, and Ding Chunqiu, or the strength and standpoints of God’s Palace and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, it was inevitable for God’s Palace to help out.

At this moment, Ding Chunqiu saw some embarrassment on the envoy’s face.

Seeing this, Ding Chunqiu asked the envoy, “Envoy of God’s Palace, if there’s anything in your mind that you find it hard to disclose, feel free to tell me.”

The envoy of God’s Palace was shocked. He didn’t expect that Ding Chunqiu would capture his concern.

He had no intention of hiding it. He said frankly, “To tell you the truth, God’s Palace has tried its best to find the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys. Although His Majesty the God Emperor still sent people to look for them everywhere, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to find more.”

The envoy was telling the truth. Those known Sky-fleeing Stone Keys had been donated or traded to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. The stone keys scattered in remote places were difficult to explore, and the terrain was dangerous. It was really difficult to gain more in a short time.

Ding Chunqiu understood and said to the envoy, “It doesn’t matter. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will have a way to find the other Sky-fleeing Stone Keys…”

Right then-

Before Ding Chunqiu could finish his words, a white light quickly passed through the door of the hall.

The people present practically didn’t react to it in time.

Before they could see the figure clearly, its voice rang out in the hall.

“Meow. I’m so exhausted. Little Ding, you have to open the warehouse door in the Back Mountain today and reward me.”

The one who spoke was none other than the Demon King, Evil Moon.

As soon as it finished speaking, it threw a bag of items on the ground. The elders of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect looked over and were all shocked.

Those were the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, and there were 70 of them.

Evil Moon, the Fat Cat at the ancestor level, had been free-loading in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for thousands of years. Everyone knew how terrifying it was, but they didn’t expect it to find 70 Sky-fleeing Stone Keys at once, which was a great achievement.

The envoy of God’s Palace was also shocked and couldn’t help admiring the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect even more.

Ding Chunqiu was overjoyed. He could consider Evil Moon’s unreasonable request this time.

“I have to discuss it with my father.” Ding Chunqiu did not promise Evil Moon immediately.

How could Evil Moon bear it? It had been running around diligently for half a month. Even though its flying speed was amazing and its body was invulnerable, this trip was still extremely dangerous.

Evil Moon was full of grievances. It was going to ask Ding Hao for conditions immediately.

After Ding Chunqiu finished his words, Evil Moon took away all the 99 Sky-fleeing Stone Keys without saying a word and flew toward the Sword-hidden Peak.

This great master had come and gone as it pleased. No one could do anything to it.

Ding Chunqiu turned to the envoy of God’s Palace and said, “When you go back, please tell the God Emperor that the search for the stone keys has come to an end. Thank you for your great help during this period.”

The envoy answered and immediately bid his farewells.

…

During the time when Evil Moon was looking for those remote Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, Ding Hao returned to Earth again to find the stone key fatty left on Earth.

Then, he asked his father about the space-time Divine Artifact and said goodbye to his parents.

According to Mu Tianyang’s instructions, Ding Hao would go to that Secret Region, which was of great importance. What would happen was unpredictable, and he didn’t know when he would come back. He had to bid nice farewells to his parents.

He did not stay on Earth for too long. He only stayed for a short while. However, fifteen days had passed in the Heaven Path world.

In a stone room on the Sword-hidden Peak.

This stone room was Ding Hao’s practice room, and few people could enter it.

There was no decoration around the stone room, which was directly made of amethyst ore from the Back Mountain. The only decoration in the stone room was the stone Eight Trigrams Pattern engraved on the ground.

In the center of the Eight Diagrams Pattern was where Ding Hao was meditating.

As soon as Ding Hao came back from Earth, he sat quietly in the middle of the stone room and looked at the things in front of him carefully.

What was placed in front of Ding Hao were the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys that he had collected so far. They were in an incomplete shape.

The patterns on the surface of the scattered stone keys had also changed greatly. If Ding Hao had not observed the interior with his Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate, others would not have been able to restore them.

Right at this moment, Evil Moon rushed in and was about to complain.

The moment it came in, the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys it carried with it seemed to have some kind of reaction all of a sudden. They flew out of the bag and floated in front of Ding Hao.

In an instant, the whole stone room was filled with a kind of subtle blue light.

Evil Moon’s attention was attracted by the incredible blue light, and it forgot that it was here to make trouble for Ding Hao.

The seven starlights in Ding Hao’s eyes became brighter. He sometimes stared at the stone key fragments on the ground and sometimes looked at the 99 Sky-fleeing Stone Keys in front of him.

After a while, Ding Hao seemed to have realized something. He reached forward with one hand, grabbed a stone key, slowly put it on the ground, and repeated it.

His movements were slow. His eyes kept looking back and forth between the place before him and the ground as he mumbled something.

When the last stone key was also placed on the ground by Ding Hao, what the hundreds of Sky-fleeing Stone Keys presented was still an irregular shape, which did not look extraordinary.

The next moment, Ding Hao activated the rules.

The blue light vanished and was replaced by countless beams of light of different colors, which seemed to cover all the colors in the world.

At the same time, indescribable rays of light also appeared at the place where the stone keys met.

The Sky-fleeing Stone Keys were slowly merging.

Evil Moon was dumbfounded.

Cling!

There was a clear sound.

The Sky-fleeing Stone Keys shone with white light and slowly floated up.

Ding Hao activated the power of the rules again. The white light dissipated, and the colorful lights that filled the entire stone room also dissipated. They turned into countless light spots and scattered in the stone room, like stars in the night sky.

After the white light dissipated, the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys driven by Ding Hao showed a new face.

They now looked like a sundial.

It was a smooth disc with a short needle running vertically through it. The disc and the short needle were as white as jade. Some slight cracks on the surface of the disc seemed to be innately integrated with the whole disc.

The short needle had runes carved on it that were difficult to understand, as well as clear scales. There were also some runes on the disk that could not be understood, as well as some patterns similar to the sun, moon, and stars.

When one took a look at this sundial-like Divine Artifact, one would feel as if one’s entire body, even one’s soul, would sink in.

It contained boundless cosmic power.

Evil Moon could see clearly that the sun, the moon, and the stars on the disk were rotating freely as if they were alive.

“Are you ready? We’re leaving!” Ding Hao suddenly said.

Evil Moon didn’t seem to realize what was going on. “Where, where are we going?”

Ding Hao smiled and said, “To the Primordial World!”
