After that, he turned and left in a heroic manner.

  Ding Hao was holding the jade plate in his palm, and his palms were sweating unconsciously.

  He had never been so nervous and he was full of expectation.

  He stood quietly in the golden morning sunlight until the sunlight above his head gradually became hot.

  Ding Hao slowly turned around and went back to the cabin. He released his Divine Senses. A pattern of golden words, like wildly growing vines, quietly spread to the ground and the wooden wall, blocking all the auras in the surroundings. In order to avoid being spied on, Ding Hao quietly sat cross-legged on the bed and carefully injected Qi into the jade plate.

  The jade plate was droning.

  With a light sound, golden brilliance projected from the jade plate and it turned into a grand figure.

  A faint halo lingered around the figure. It was an extremely handsome man who was very young. He was less than 30 years old. There was golden light flowing in every strand of his long black hair. He looked as majestic and noble as a god. Although he was not angry, people would look at him with awe. But he was not a cold person who would keep a great distance from other people. While he was as ethereal as an immortal, Ding Hao felt an intimacy so strong that he wanted to cry.

  His soul had been touched and from there he had felt the intimacy.

  Ding Shengtan.

  The image of his father, which once only existed in his incomplete memory, gradually overlapped with the man in the halo in front of him.

  At this moment, Ding Hao didn’t know why but he couldn’t help shedding tears.

  “My son, there is finally such a day when you really appear in front of me……” A strange yet familiar voice, as warm as a spring breeze, sounded in Ding Hao’s ears. The handsome man with halo was looking at Ding Hao with a smile. There seemed to be tears in his eyes. He said softly, “Your mother and I have been waiting so long for this day!”


  Ding Hao was totally moved by the short sentence.

  For the first time, he was weeping aloud.

  His mood was out of control like mountain torrents.

  The bloodline power in his body was like an awakened dragon and he could not suppress that kind of mood. Ding Hao clearly knew that he time-traveled from Earth, but it still couldn’t calm him down. He had lost all his reasoning abilities and was totally overwhelmed by his mood.

  Although Ding Hao clearly knew that the figure in front of him was actually the virtual shadow of the jade plate inscription, he still couldn’t help reaching out to hold the man in front of him.

  “When you made the attack with your saber and sword, I knew it was you, my child. No one can break Ding Tong’s Emperor Style of Saber and Sword except you…… You came earlier than I expected, and your strength is more powerful than I imagined. Of course, these are not important. My child, what makes me almost crazy with happiness is that you finally appeared in front of me alive. You are very fine. The pains and hardships of the past are all gone at this time. You’re healthy and strong, and nothing can make me happier than this.”


  Ding Shengtan’s excited voice sounded in the cabin. He was as happy as a child.

  Ding Hao nodded with a smile while crying.

  He didn’t know what to say.

  All words seemed to be powerless at this moment.

  “I’ve long known about the trap in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The purpose of so many efforts was to lure Ding Tong out. He is a formidable enemy. Behind him is an unimaginable force. If we can’t defeat him, no matter which space Qingcheng and I hide you and Ke’er in, he will find you sooner or later……

  “I hope the risk I’m taking can help you and Ke’er get rid of all the possible dangers……

  “How I wish I can hug you! How I wish I can hold your hand just like when you were little! At that time, I held your little hand and we chased the clouds and the moon. It’s a pity I can’t do it now because this body of mine has almost been completely broken in the last blow. I can’t wait for you to wake up from your deep sleep. I can only say these words to you with this shadow……

  “My child, don’t worry about me. Your mother and I are in good condition. This time, the one that appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is actually just a mysterious entity body of mine, not my real body. In my original plan, I wanted to sacrifice this mysterious entity body to injure Ding Tong seriously. Your attack injured Ding Tong more badly. For a long time, you and Ke’er will be very safe……”


  Ding Hao was stunned.

  Mysterious entity body?

  The legendary Powerful Divines could create entities that were exactly the same as them or even possessed similar power as them by chance. Few people could distinguish the entities when they traveled the world. It was a kind of magical power that only existed in legends. Even the martial arts Third Eye could not see the difference between the real body and the fake one.

  “So it was just my father’s entity that appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains on that day?” It was out of Ding Hao’s expectation.

  “Where is his real body?”


  Ding Shengtan’s voice sounded in the room again—


  “It’s a pity that I can’t send this news back to Qingcheng because I exerted all my strength in the last strike and was exhausted…… You don’t need to worry about your mother’s injury. I know what to do about it. There are not many things in the world that I find too difficult.”


  On the face of Ding Shengtan’s shadow, there was an aggressive look again as if he could smile at the vicissitudes.

  Ding Hao felt relieved and nervous again.

  It seemed that his mother was really injured, and her injury was serious. Now he knew that the news from the Heaven Sound Pavilion and the Earth Sight Pavilion was true.

  His father lured Ding Tong out this time. He had planned to injure this Demon King seriously even at the price of losing a mysterious entity body. He must have considered many aspects. Besides the purpose that Ding Hao and his sister Ding Ke’er would not be hunted down by Ding Tong, another purpose was that this Demon King would be unable to pay attention to the preparation of the immortal medicine. In this way, his father would have one less powerful enemy. When people were competing for the immortal medicine catalyst, he would have more chances.

  It seemed that his father wasn’t alone. At the very least, he still had a force and such deployment behind him.

  After so many years, Ding Hao believed that with the wisdom and strength of his father and mother, they were not simply fleeing and hiding, but also secretly setting something up. It was still unknown that who was a pawn and who was the schemer. Although the God’s Palace was colossal, his father had once governed half of the Eastern Continent. How could he be bullied?

  At least after the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ding Hao was sure about one thing. Although Ding Tong was in seclusion these years, Ding Hao’s father knew the culprit very well. Not only did his father know Ding Tong’s means, strength, and way of doing things, but he also knew the force behind Ding Tong, which was not simply the God’s Palace.

  In the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, if it weren’t for Ding Hao’s appearance, his father’s mysterious entity body would have been turned into powder in an instant. Ding Tong would also be seriously injured, but his father might not be able to hurt Ding Tong’s Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate.

  After he appeared, the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword from the origin undermined Ding Tong’s Emperor Style of Saber and Sword. Their attack became more effective.

  “My child, I haven’t revealed your identity to my third brother and the others. It’s not the right time now. I don’t want you to expose yourself to that force too early. Fortunately, this time you were wearing a mask and were careful about the traces you left. People couldn’t find out your identity. If you need help in the future, you can wear a mask and go to see my third brother. He will help you complete everything,” said Ding Shengtan’s light figure with a smile.

  Ding Hao nodded with tears streaming down his face.

  He did not intend to reveal his identity for the time being. Now that his father was not there, there was no need to expose himself.

  “My child, I’ve asked my third brother to keep three Purple-gold cards of Shengyuan Bank for me. The resources are enough for you to spend in a short period of time. I gave them to my third brother a long time ago. No one can find out their origins. You can use them at ease……” continued Ding Shengtan’s virtual shadow.

  Shengyuan Bank was the No. 1 bank on the Eastern Continent. It was known to be as wealthy as a country. Its background was mysterious, and its owner was also extremely mysterious. He had never shown up.

  For such a force to exist for countless years, it must have its forte. Even the God’s Palace couldn’t underestimate this force. There was once a rumor that if the wealth of the Eastern Continent was divided into ten parts, the God’s Palace would take forty percent, Shengyuan Bank forty percent, and the remaining twenty percent would be divided equally among the other major forces. It could be seen that this bank was extraordinary.

  Ding Shengtan must have prepared these cards for Ding Hao for a long time.

  “My child, what you see now is just a mysterious entity body of mine. Because it took too much strength to fight with Ding Tong, I can’t transmit everything I know back to my real body. I don’t know when we can meet again. Don’t try to look for me. When the time comes, we will be with you again. My child, remember that your mother and I have always loved you and Ke’er very much. Don’t blame us for leaving you in the Swordsmanshhip-seeking Mountain on the Land of Infinity. We have no choice. You should believe us. Even if we die, we don’t want our children to become orphans. We’ve left resources for you there. I believe that you have already got them……”


  Ding Shengtan’s light figure was smiling and looked a little excited.

  Ding Hao nodded repeatedly.

  “There are still many things you don’t know, but you don’t need to know them now. The next time we meet, everything will be brought into daylight. Don’t try to challenge Ding Tong. Before you comprehend the Emperor Style of Saber and Sword, you are no match for him. You should already know that when one comes to the Land of Divine Grace from the Land of Infinity, one’s cultivation speed will increase sharply. You should make the best use of your time to cultivate so that you can have enough strength to protect those you cherish and love before a catastrophe occurs.

  “My child, I’m really excited. You don’t know that when you attacked with your saber and sword, I almost roared with excitement. How I wanted to turn around and hug you at that time…… Unfortunately, I couldn’t.

  “My child, I really love you very much. I have traveled through time and space countless times. How I wanted to sneak a look at you and Ke’er! But I can’t. I was afraid that I might bring endless calamity to the pure land again……

  “My child……”
