Supreme Emperor of Swords-Chapter 1226 - 31 Gathering the Divine Objects

Chapter 31 Gathering the Divine Objects

The next day, the news that Ding Chunqiu, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, fought the new master of the Feather Clan on behalf of Mu Tianyang, the White-Robed Emperor, and defeated him had spread throughout the Heaven Path world.

People even heard this bombshell in some extremely remote places.

The incredible power of the 24 pairs of Golden Wings and the Emperor Style of Saber and Sword were all told to the world in an exaggerated way.

Many martial artists who couldn’t go to the scene to watch the unprecedented duel were extremely mad and annoyed.

What made them even more envious was that Imperator Ding had come to the scene in person and planned to destroy the Feather Clan in one fell swoop.

At that time, the martial artists present did not dare to exaggerate Ding Hao’s appearance, because any false information about Imperator Ding might be regarded as blasphemy against him. They did not dare to conduct the greatest taboo in the world.

Most people speculated that the new master of the Feather Clan must have prepared some extraordinary means to successfully deceive Zhang Fan, Fang Tianyi, and other experts in the True Immortal Realm.

However, Xiang Zeyu had never expected that his plan would be discovered by Imperator Ding, who was hiding in the crowd.

Many martial artists took delight in talking about Ding Hao’s appearance. They scrambled to say that the man in cyan next to them at that time was Imperator Ding.

Ding Hao did not kill the people of the Feather Clan. In everyone’s eyes, he was being merciful to the Feather Clan.

Three days after the great duel, the place where the Feather Clan was imprisoned was finally found. However, no one outside could enter, and the Feather Clan members couldn’t leave either.

Those who had been bullied by the Feather Clan rushed to that remote area in anger and watched their enemies being imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Although they could not kill them with their own hands, it was a gratifying thing for them to see the Feather Clan be severely punished by Imperator Ding.

As for why the White-Robed Emperor, Mu Tianyang, was not present, no one dared to make a wild guess. After all, this was something that even the Pig Immortal could not know.

Everyone kept silent about this matter, covering the absence of the White-Robed Emperor with a sense of mystery. Some busybodies who originally wanted to go to the Central Continent gave up the idea because of this strong mysterious aura.

The fact that Mu Tianyang was absent was only suspicious in everyone’s hearts. Not many people would specifically inquire about it. Everyone was also clear that when the time came, Imperator Ding would announce the ins and outs of the matter.

In addition, with the relationship between the White-Robed Emperor and Imperator Ding and the White-Robed Divine Palace’s contributions to the Heavenly Path world over the years, everyone agreed that the abnormal absence of the White-Robed Emperor must be because he was doing something extraordinary for the Heaven Path continent.

The world firmly believed that once the White-Robed Emperor appeared once more, the Heaven Path world would definitely become an even more prosperous and beautiful world.

After the return of Imperator Ding, all the martial arts masters in the Heaven Path world were immersed in the wonderful memories and descriptions of the duel that day.

However, in addition to talking about the situation on that day, the martial arts masters of the Heaven Path world were also very busy recently.

They were trying very hard to find one thing, the Sky-fleeing Stone Key.

The story started after Ding Hao and the others returned to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

…

In the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

In the main hall, the high-level elders of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were already waiting there.

The original plan of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was to make a strategic plan for the current pattern of the Heaven Path according to the result of the battle between the White-Robed Emperor and the new master of the Feather Clan after the return of the Sect Leader, Ding Chunqiu.

However, for the time being, these high-level officials did not know that Ding Chunqiu had fought on behalf of Mu Tianyang.

A few cyan lights flashed, and the high-level elders knew that Sect Leader Ding, Zhang Fan, Fang Tianyi, and others had returned. They hurried forward to welcome them.

In the blink of an eye, the green lights landed on the ground. Except for the few people the elders knew, there was also the figure of Imperator Ding.

Everyone subconsciously was filled with deep veneration.

“Welcome, Imperator Ding, Sect Leader Ding…”

“Everyone, please rise,” Ding Hao said.

The group of people walked to the main hall.

Ding Hao looked at Ding Chunqiu with joy and said, “You’ve done a good job. In the past 1,000 years, you’ve grown stronger a lot, which makes me very gratified!” He patted Ding Chunqiu on the shoulder.

Ding Hao injected a copious amount of Qi into Ding Chunqiu’s body to help him recover his mysterious strength. Before he came back, Ding Hao had already injected Qi into Ding Chunqiu once.

Ding Hao continued to say to Ding Chunqiu, “In this way, I can hand over the Heaven Path world to you in peace.”

After getting his father’s approval, Ding Chunqiu was naturally overjoyed.

But when he heard what Ding Hao said next, Ding Chunqiu could not help frowning slightly. He vaguely felt that his father was going to leave this world again.

“Is Father leaving the world of the Divine Way again? Does it have anything to do with the White-Robed Emperor?” Ding Chunqiu thought, but he did not ask Ding Hao.

He immediately looked at Ding Hao with firm eyes and said, “I won’t let you down, Father!”

Ding Hao nodded.

Then, he looked at the crowd and said loudly, “From now on, the disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will do their best to collect the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys scattered all over the world. In addition, we will send messages to all the major sects and forces. The Swordsmanship-seeking Sect will buy the Sky-fleeing Stones Keys at a higher price from those who have them.”

As soon as the order was issued, the higher-ups took action.

After Ding Hao and others returned to the Sword-hidden Peak, the high-level officials of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect gradually knew what had happened in the sea of thunder today. As for why Ding Hao wanted to collect the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, it was none of their business.

The Sky-fleeing Stone Keys were fragments of the Stone Shuttle of Time.

The Stone Shuttle of Time was a Divine Artifact that Ding Shengtan carried with him to travel through time and space freely. Back then, Ding Shengtan used it to travel through different times and spaces to avoid being hunted down by God’s Palace.

However, more than two thousand years ago, due to overuse of the Stone Shuttle of Time, it had run out of its lifespan and was broken into hundreds of fragments, scattered in various spaces.

Ding Hao was undoubtedly looking for the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys to reorganize the space-time Divine Artifact and go to a mysterious place.

As a supreme-god-level Divine Artifact, even if the Stone Shuttle of Time was turned into hundreds of fragments, its fragments, the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, were still of great value.

When the little fat boy incarnated from a Sky-fleeing Stone Key appeared, countless sects fought for it. Even the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, the overlord of the Northern Region, came forward at that time. Its value was evident.

For more than a thousand years, along with the integration of the Land of Infinity and the Land of Divine Grace and the development of martial arts masters and sects, the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys scattered all over the world had mostly been taken by the major sects.

From the third day on, some emissaries came to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect one after another.

In the main hall of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

At this time, the envoys of both the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect were in the main hall. They were here to hand over the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys. Ding Chunqiu summoned them at the same time.

“When we heard that Imperator Ding asked the world for the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, Sect Leader Bai immediately sent me to give you the Sky-fleeing Stone key of our sect. Please do accept it, Sect Leader Ding.”

...

As he spoke, the envoy of the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect immediately took out a Sky-fleeing Stone Key carefully from his Storage Ring and handed it to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect’s disciple.

A disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect also said, “I’m also presenting a Sky-fleeing Stone Key on behalf of the Blue Cloud Sect. In addition, Sect Leader Song said that this is what the Blue Cloud Sect is doing for the Heaven Path world for free in response to Ding Hao’s call. We wouldn’t be charging you anything in return.”

The Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect were both in the Northern Region and had a close relationship with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. When they learned that Ding Hao intended to collect the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, Song Que and Bai Quanshui, the heads of the two sects, immediately sent over their only Sky-fleeing Stone Keys.

In addition, the two sects also assisted the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in searching for the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys.

After the Blue Cloud Sect and the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, the other sects and experts in the Northern Region, who had the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys, all came to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to hand them over.

After all, this was Ding Hao’s order, and no one in the world dared to disobey it. Most of the people who sent the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys belonged to powerful sects and forces, and they didn’t intend to get a corresponding reward.

How could the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect ignore this favor? This was also the reason why many sects and forces were eager to make contributions.

However, when some ordinary martial artists who accidentally got the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys handed over the stone keys to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and expressed their interests in a roundabout way, the sect would happily agree.

Many martial artists had benefited a lot from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect with the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys in their hands, and their realms had soared overnight.

Those martial artists who dreamed of reaching success in one step had their eyes on the ownerless Sky-fleeing Stone Keys scattered all over the world. Most of these Sky-fleeing Stone Keys were hidden in some dangerous areas or in adverse weather.

In order to get some resources from the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, many martial artists were willing to take risks.

...

In just half a month, more than half of the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys had been gathered in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect with the help of the Blue Cloud Sect, Extermination Swordsmanship Sect, White-Robed Divine Palace, God’s Palace, and Heaven Sect.

Several of them were still on the way to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect or in some places that no one cared about.

A man and a cat were under the 10,000-year-old peach tree on the Sword-hidden Peak.

It was Ding Hao and Evil Moon.

Evil Moon, who had also disappeared from the eyes of the world for more than 1,000 years, asked Ding Hao, “Human Pet, why have you come to me? Don’t you know that I’m very busy?”

Evil Moon had not changed much for more than a thousand years, except that it looked fatter.

When the two old friends met, Ding Hao didn’t stand on ceremony. He immediately said, “There’s something I want you to help me with…”

“No!” Before Ding Hao could finish his words, Evil Moon rejected him.

Ding Hao was a little confused. With Evil Moon’s curiosity, it would at least listen to him before deciding whether to do it or not.

Evil Moon closed its eyes and looked as if it did not want to talk to Ding Hao.

It said proudly, “Meow. You just left without saying a word. You left for so many years. You didn’t even tell me when you came back. Only when you had something to do would you think of me. I’m very unhappy.” Evil Moon finished its words in one breath. What it said made sense.

Ding Hao was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Ding Hao did not speak, Evil Moon continued, “Meow. I don’t need you to apologize. I heard that you’re going on a long journey again. How about this? I’ll go with you this time. Consider this as me forgiving you.”

Evil Moon still had an expression of ignoring Ding Hao, but it peeped at Ding Hao with one eye open.

Ding Hao finally understood what Evil Moon was thinking.

He pretended to be thoughtful and said slowly, “It’s not impossible to take you there, but…”

“Just tell me what’s the thing you want me to help you with.”

Evil Moon changed its attitude thoroughly. It looked at Ding Hao enthusiastically and sincerely.
