Chapter 1185 Another Battle of Fate
The master of the White-Robed Divine Palace was Mu Tianyang, the White-Robed King.
Starting from Wei Province, a small province, the White-Robed Divine Palace had made rapid progress in the past two hundred years. Now, it had almost gained control of the entire territory of the Divine Central Continent in the Land of Infinity. The previous Super Divine Hall in the Central Continent had long been forgotten by people, and it had been completely replaced by the White-Robed Divine Palace. Mu Tianyang, the White-Robed King, was well-known in the region. Many people regarded him as the second Ding Hao because up to now, Mu Tianyang had not passed the Immortal Disaster and reached the Celestial Realm.
However, Mu Tianyang’s strength was extremely horrifying.
Like Ding Hao, although Mu Tianyang had not reached the Celestial Realm, he had the strength to kill immortals and he was well-known in the world.
Ten immortals had worked together to fight against Mu Tianyang, but he killed them with one move and smashed them into pieces. When the news spread out, it shocked all parties. The subsequent attacks even made Mu Tianyang’s reputation reach its peak. Forty years ago, the battle between Mu Tianyang and Bai Qifeng, the No. 1 Immortal on the Divine Central Continent, was the most sensational one in the recent 60 years. It was said that the battle had lasted for a day and a night. Although people could not see the battle situation with their own eyes, the final result shocked everyone.
Bai Qifeng, the number one immortal master of the Divine Central Continent, vowed his loyalty to the White-Robed Divine Palace and became the greatest general under the command of the White-Robed Emperor Mu Tianyang.
As a result, the influence of the White-Robed Divine Palace grew even stronger.
In addition, the White-Robed Divine Palace also had many masters and talents. Among them, Military Counselor Qing Long had been regarded as the Wisdom Sage of the Central Continent. Although his personal strength had not reached the Martial Sage Realm yet, he was skilled at divination. Countless enemies of the White-Robed Divine Palace had turned into dust. Even many immortals were frightened in the face of this Wisdom Sage. In many people’s eyes, this military counselor, who had been hiding in the shadow of the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang, was even more terrifying than him.
The other figure that was well-known in the White-Robed Divine Palace was the War Goddess, Liu Lingzui.
The woman who had been serving the White-Robed Emperor from the very beginning was known as the most beautiful War Goddess on the Divine Central Continent. She became immortal 40 years ago. Her fighting style was extremely fierce. It was as if she would perish together with her opponent in every battle. Her means were as fierce as thunder and lightning. The White-Robed Guard Camp under her command was filled with first-class masters. It was an elite troop protecting Mu Tianyang, the White-Robed Emperor. Many people thought that in the entire Land of Infinity, the only army that could suppress this White-Robed Guard Camp might be the Immortal Sword Camp of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
Liu Lingzui’s status in the White-Robed Divine Palace was extremely high. It was said that the White-Robed Emperor’s trust in her was even higher than that in Military Counselor Qing Long. Most of the time, Liu Lingzui’s words and deeds represented the orders of the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang. No matter what mistakes she had made, the White-Robed Emperor had never blamed this beautiful War Goddess.
Fortunately, this beautiful War Goddess was very popular and never became arrogant because of her favor. She was strict with herself and sympathized with the sergeants. Almost all the immortal generals, ministers, and high-level officials of the White-Robed Divine Palace had a very high evaluation of this beautiful War Goddess.
Moreover, it was well-known that the white-robed War Goddess, Liu Lingzui, was obsessed with the White-Robed Emperor, and she’d once publicly sworn that she wouldn’t marry anyone else but him. If the White-Robed Emperor had no intention of marrying her, then she would stay single for the rest of her life.
For many people, Liu Lingzui was a fiery female immortal. She was resolute, straightforward, and had an unparalleled charm. She was as strong as a man. Even many people compared her with Xie Jieyu, the No. 1 War Goddess in the Northern Region. People thought that they were both peerless Martial Demigoddesses. However, they had never fought with each other, so no one could know who was stronger at the moment.
With the rise of the White-Robed Divine Palace, many people began to compare Mu Tianyang with Ding Hao.
The grievances between the two had also spread widely. Before they had reached the peak like today, they had been famous in Snow Province. The grievances between them had almost been known by the whole Northern Region. Now, as the past was mentioned again, countless rumors were exaggerated. All kinds of fake stories had spread out. Gradually, almost everyone thought that Ding Hao and Mu Tianyang were fated to be enemies.
Both of them were born in Snow Province and were geniuses. They had peerless talents who served them with their lives. They both had the most beautiful goddesses and the most terrifying wise men to serve them. Now they were both powerful people in charge of a region. In particular, the two of them had not yet gone through God’s tests to become immortals, but they could crush immortals with their strength.
And judging from all kinds of rumors, there would be a battle between Ding Hao and Mu Tianyang.
When that happened, either of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the White-Robed Divine Palace would get the better of the other.
Not only the outsiders but also many disciples of the two forces thought so. When they traveled in the martial arts world, the disciples of the two forces would compare themselves with each other with hostility. They would have some conflicts and battles.
However, relatively speaking, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect still had the upper hand.
After all, Ding Hao had been known as the No. 1 Expert in the world for many years. Although Mu Tianyang was also mysterious, he had never challenged Ding Hao. This was regarded as a piece of evidence that he admitted he was not as good as Ding Hao.
…
“It’s been a hundred years. Why is there still no news of Xuan Tianzong? Did something go wrong with his cultivation and he has died?”
Ding Hao stood on the top of the Sword-hidden Peak and slightly frowned.
Not far behind him, Evil Moon was snoring. Now, most of the Heaven Pat world was under Ding Hao’s control, public and secret. Evil Moon’s status was also rising. Wherever it went, people would welcome it. All kinds of delicious food would be served to Evil Moon. Its bottomless stomach was about to be filled. Now it was almost like a snow-white meatball and didn’t like to move anymore. It was really a lazy cat.
With the help of the natural treasures of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Blackie, the Three-headed Heavenly Hound, had finally fully matured. It had its bloodline completely activated and mastered the magical power of its origin. It could finally shrink its body and turn it into a normal puppy. It could also turn its three heads into one. Blackie didn’t look as ferocious as it used to. Instead, it was furry, lovely, and cute. It had become the most popular pet in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. It had completely replaced Evil Moon, who had become fat, and became popular.
Evil Moon was extremely dissatisfied with this, but unfortunately, it could not part with the delicious food in the end, so it could only cry in silence.
In the past 100 years, Ding Hao’s cultivation had become more and more profound, reaching a realm that no one could see through. Even Xie Jieyu, Fang Tianyi, Zhang Fan, and others would feel a kind of invisible pressure when standing beside Ding Hao as if facing the starry sky in the universe. It could be regarded as a great exceptional case between heaven and earth.
Ding Hao once suspected that there was something wrong with Mu Tianyang because he once found a hidden dark tactical deployment around Wei Province. He also planted a backup plan there, but later Ding Hao found that the dark tactical deployment gradually became thinner and finally disappeared completely.
The spies Ji Yingqi planted in the White-Robed Divine Palace had gotten all kinds of news. According to them, there should be no problem with Mu Tianyang.
Of course, over the years, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had also lost some spies. Military Counselor Qing Long was such a wise person that he found many spies planted by Ji Yingqi. However, this military counselor was indeed an interesting person. After discovering them, he did not make things difficult for these people and sent them back unscathed. Ji Yingqi also found a lot of spies planted in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect by the White-Robed Divine Palace and did the same thing by sending these people back safely.
For more than a hundred years, the two sages had been fighting openly and secretly. It was quite interesting.
Ding Hao even visited Wei Province in person and secretly observed the cultivation methods of Mu Tianyang and the people around him. He did not find anything suspicious. There was once when he exchanged a move with Mu Tianyang from thousands of miles away, but he didn’t detect a trace of the dark power.
Now, Ding Hao no longer suspected Mu Tianyang.
As time went by, the world seemed to be getting more and more prosperous and peaceful. The six paths also began to restore the Reincarnation Power.
“Where on earth is Xuan Tianzong, Hades True Immortal, hiding? Such a figure should not have passed away. He must be plotting something in secret.” It could be said that Ding Hao was in control of everything in the world with his current strength and power, but he still could not detect any clues.
The only thing he could do was to wait and see.
During that period, he had entered the ancient site of the Seven Seas’ Sea Region and met Bright Moon Immortal several times. He told her everything that he had learned from the fire artificer.
Bright Moon Immortal lamented. She had no idea that such a thing would happen.
The truth shocked her. After all, Xuan Tianzong was her teacher. At that time, she could never believe that the fire artificer was a devil. After all, during those years of getting along with each other, the fire artificer looked more like a stupid teenager, but she could not accept that her master Xuan Tianzong was the most terrifying killer behind the scenes.
What had happened in the outside world was no longer something worth remembering for Bright Moon Immortal.
She quietly waited alone in this cold and lonely ancient site.
For her, the most important thing was perhaps to solve the final mystery.
She wanted to know whether or not her master was that sort of a monster.
Ding Hao would visit her at the ruins every other time.
When he went over, Zhang Fan would also go with him. On a grave outside the ruins, three sticks of incense were lit as a memorial to his deceased teacher. If it weren’t for the secret book of the Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors, Zhang Fan would have died long ago, and his title, the Mad Saber, would not have been well known in the world.
In a blink of an eye, another fifty years passed.
That day, the entire world was shaken because a super big thing had happened.
The White-Robed Emperor issued an open challenge to the Saber and Sword Addict.
This news spread across the world rapidly, causing the entire world of the Heaven Path to tremble.
“Is this day finally coming?”
“A month later, in the Frozen Peak of the Northern Region in the Land of Infinity, there will be a life-and-death battle between us!”
These words were a letter of the challenge issued by Mu Tianyang, the White-Robed Emperor, with magical power. They shook heaven and earth. All parties could hear them. These words condensed in the sky and did not disperse for a long time.
Ding Hao responded with only one word, “Alright!”
