Chapter 1162 A Big Event
After coming out of the antiquity ruins, Ding Hao had a feeling of time travel.
With a mere thought, he arrived above the vast ocean.
The integration of the Southern Wilderness and the Seven Seas had gradually entered a good state. These two water regions had merged into a larger area. To the creatures in the water, it was great news. Their homeland had expanded. The Heaven Sect and the Demon Clan of the Southern Wilderness, as well as the Sea clan of the Seven Seas, were in a stalemate. Because of Wen Duoqing, Ding Ke’er, and Adorable’s relationship, there would not be a large-scale war between these three forces. Under Ding Hao’s will, the Ceroman Clan also obtained a place to live. They were no longer wandering and plundering like bandits and had set down.
Ding Hao once again came to the Ceroman Clan’s territory.
This was a sea region with an area of several million miles wide. Even though it was the border of the new water region and was comparatively barren, the Ceromen at least had a safe place to live, and they no longer needed to keep wandering around.
When the Patriarch of the Ceroman Clan saw Ding Hao, he did not dare to neglect him at all. He summoned the masters of his clan to meet him.
Nowadays, Ding Hao’s fame had spread all over the new world. It could be said that he represented a top force and his words were enough to draw up a world pattern. No one or force in the world dared to challenge Ding Hao head-on now.
Moreover, Ding Hao was a benefactor of the Ceroman Clan to a certain extent.
Ding Hao released the masters of the Ceroman Clan from the small sword world, who had been brought out of the ruins. After giving the Ceroman Clan a warning, he left with Evil Moon and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Old Patriarch…” The masters of the Ceroman Clan were both surprised and happy.
They told Ding Hao the location of the ruins of the Immortal Period, hoping that one day when the overlord of the continent explored the ruins, he could take out the bodies of the elders of their clan. Those experts had been trapped in such a dangerous place, and everyone thought that they had all died. Unexpectedly, Ding Hao brought them back alive.
The return of these masters of the Ceroman Clan was undoubtedly a huge supplement to the strength of their race.
The new world pattern was developing. The power of the tides between heaven and earth was enhanced, and the rules were clearer and more complete. This was a sign of the prosperity of martial arts. On the premise that they did not violate the will of the Saber and Sword Addict, Ding Hao, the major clans and creatures were frantically improving their forces and territories. Of course, the Ceromen did not want to miss such an opportunity, so as not to become low-level weaklings.
“Ancestor, what exactly is in the ruins?”
“Ancestor, you’re finally back. Now our Ceroman Clan is about to be revived!”
A group of masters of the Ceroman Clan were overjoyed and hurriedly came over to greet the old patriarch.
“I can’t tell you the details of the ruins,” the old patriarch said. Under the lecture of the Bright Moon Immortal over the years, he had long calmed down and was no longer as brave and fierce as he used to be. He said with a serious look, “From now on, don’t mention the ruins again. As Ceromen, we can’t covet the things in there. Moreover, that young expert of the Human Clan… Remember, from now on, don’t go against that young man. His strength is too terrifying.”
When the current patriarch heard this, he said with a wry smile, “Ancestor, you have just escaped, so you may not know that the young man’s title is Saber and Sword Addict, and he is now the worthy No.1 Superior in the new world. No one dares to disobey his orders. He has the final say in this world. No sect or force dares to go against his will.”
…
Ding Hao returned to the Immortal Gate of Fortune.
After accompanying his wives and daughter around for a few days, he began his seclusion cultivation.
With the passage of time, the Spiritual Qi tides on the new world continent became more and more turbulent and powerful. The rules began to become clear and complete, and it became easier for martial artists to cultivate. More and more new experts emerged, and more and more people reached the God Realm. There were also some amazing rising stars and countless lurking experienced masters who had broken through the bottleneck and appeared again to amaze the world.
In the past, such a situation was most likely to cause turmoil and conquest. If the balance between the number and power of God Realm Masters was broken, it would be the root cause of the war and chaos.
But now, with Ding Hao’s deterrence, no one dared to openly stir up war on the continent as long as they thought of his power to defeat the allied forces of the Feather Clan and the Giant Beast Clan with just one palm and one sword.
But all kinds of undercurrents were surging and gathering in the dark.
Once a new peerless master appeared and could challenge Ding Hao face to face, the peaceful situation under the forceful suppression would begin to collapse.
Some people firmly believed that under the general trend, while the rules of the tides between heaven and earth were constantly strengthening, someone would catch up with Ding Hao sooner or later.
Countless restless people and forces were waiting for this day to come.
Ding Hao was also very clear about this.
He would no longer do anything in particular, as long as the new world remained calm on the surface. He would not start a war, nor would he allow any slaughter and wails to spread between heaven and earth. He would not allow the dark power to grow. This was Ding Hao’s bottom line. After all, he was alone. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to be perfect in everything in such a vast world.
He needed to comprehend and fully understand some of the methods taught by the Bright Moon Immortal.
At the same time, Evil Moon was also in secluded cultivation, which was rare.
It seemed that being cooked in the Life Tripod of Heaven and Earth had some magical effect on the Demon King. Recently, it had begun to get tired of eating, and there was a very strange power surging as if it was about to make some breakthrough.
The new world appeared to be extremely peaceful.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.
The world had undergone too many changes.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth became more and more abundant, and many extinct animals and plants began to appear. Some people saw True Phoenixes soaring in the Ninth Heaven, and some people said that the Divine Dragon Clan had come to the world. Many Divine Big Dipper Beasts had disappeared for a long time, but now they also appeared everywhere on the continent, causing competition and pursuit.
Some people even picked the Immortal Flowers, which were said to be a kind of strange object that could condense immortal power. The petals contained immortal laws. If someone picked the flowers and carefully cultivated them, when the flowers blossomed, they would have a chance to break through to the Immortal Realm by devouring the petals.
There were some places on the continent that released auspicious energy and Immortal Qi. Many ruins that had not been discovered before began to appear. They were all immortal mansions and treasures left behind by the immortals in the Immortal Period, which caused all parties to fight over them and kill each other again.
During this process, Ding Hao, who was regarded as the most powerful expert under the sky, did not participate in the competition.
Some people thought that Ding Hao disdained these heavenly treasures because he had already become an immortal.
Some people also thought that something might have gone wrong with Ding Hao’s secluded cultivation. After all, he was too young and his cultivation was too fast. In just more than 20 years, he had reached the Martial Demigod Realm. This was an almost ridiculously high speed. Maybe he had taken some demonic cultivation, and his mental state couldn’t keep up with it. Sooner or later, there would be a problem. People said that he was in a difficult situation to protect himself now.
All kinds of rumors were spreading.
Along with such rumors, new legends of martial arts rose one after another.
Some people had obtained the Immortal Flowers and condensed the immortal laws. They soared into the sky and became famous all over the world. Some had obtained the immortal mansions and the resources in them and become formidable out of nowhere. For a time, they defeated all their enemies.
This was a new era full of opportunities and miracles. Countless unknown people had risen, and many experts who had been famous for a long time had advanced. All kinds of opportunities that they had never dared to imagine before landed on them. There would always be lucky ones who got those opportunities and rose to the top.
“One day, I will challenge Ding Hao face to face.” The young man who had obtained the Immortal Flowers came from the Feather Clan. He was the grandson of the Birdman Regent, as well as the direct descendant of the current Feather Emperor. He was an extremely talented young man. It was said that on the day of his birth, there was an unusual phenomenon of a fairy scattering flowers in the sky. He was regarded as the perfect successor of the Feather Emperor.
With hatred in his heart, he claimed that he would challenge Ding Hao in the future.
There was also a young man who had suddenly risen to power and challenged countless masters of the older generation all the way. He had won all the battles. He called himself Wang Qingtian. He was a master of the Human Clan who had improved his martial arts cultivation by challenging experts. His strength was unfathomable and he had mastered some means of the Immortal Clan. He had never been defeated, and he was also aimed at Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict.
“The martial arts legends of the predecessors are meant to be broken. Ding Hao is also a human being. I will defeat him. I will rule the Human Clan.” Wang Qingtian pointed his sword to the sky and looked down at the world.
The other big clans also had experts that amazed the world.
It was obvious that this world had entered a golden age of martial arts, and it was becoming more and more brilliant. The strength of the supreme masters of all clans was growing rapidly, and more and more high-level God Realm Masters had appeared, shocking the world.
As time went by, more and more creatures had forgotten the ten War Gods of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan who had once dominated the fate of the various clans on the Land of Infinity. Only a few people would mention the names of the former supreme forces, such as the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, the Super Divine Hall, the Heaven-Splitting Whale Palace, the Demon God Palace, and the Great Leiyin Monastery.
“That’s all in the past. The era of the Ten Divine Halls is over.”
“Even if the Ten War Gods were to reappear, it would be difficult for them to reign supreme. Currently, there are many experts in this world who are stronger than them. It is time for the old men to be eliminated…”
Some people thought so.
Over the years, the Ten Divine Halls had basically been living in seclusion. Their disciples rarely showed up, and the Ten War Gods never appeared again. This was considered a sign of the decline of their forces.
Time passed by.
The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth in this new world became more and more abundant, and the rules of heaven and earth became clearer and clearer.
The divine herbs and divine medicines that required bloody competition in the past had become abundant and ordinary now. Many things that had shocked the world could also be usually seen now, such as Taiyi Golden Sand, Star Iron, Scarlet Immortal Gold, and so on. In the past, as long as one of them appeared, it would be enough to cause crazy competition among the major sects. But now, these things could be seen in some auction houses and trading markets.
The Semi God Realm Masters had been extremely rare in the past but were no longer the top ones. Some super sects now had dozens or even nearly a hundred God Realm Masters. The situation where a sect could dominate a region with only one God Realm Master in the past was gone.
On this day, something big finally happened.
“Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict, has been challenged!”
“Something big has happened! A rising star has challenged Ding Hao and has been staying in front of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for half a month. He threatened that if Ding Hao does not show up to accept the challenge, he would kill his way to the gate of the sect!”
