Supreme Emperor of Swords-Chapter 1246 - 51 Clues

Chapter 51 Clues

Through these books, Ding Hao learned a lot about the Spirit Region like how the Nine Spirits Tribe rose to power, how the Nine Spirits City was established, and if there were any other small forces in the Spirit Region in addition to the Nine Spirits Tribe, etc.

Although he got a lot of information that was really useful, Ding Hao did not find anything about the Heart of Heaven and Earth, not even its name.

“I didn’t expect that there would be no information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth in the Crown Prince’s Mansion of the Nine Spirits Tribe…” After putting down the last book, Ding Hao sighed slightly.

“It seems that I can only inquire about it slowly. With the power of the Crown Prince, maybe I can get some information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth. But in this way, it will take a lot of time…

!!

“But in the Primordial World, or in the Spirit Region, I have no power. If I want to find the Heart of Heaven and Earth alone, it will be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Speaking of which, I still can only rely on this Crown Prince.

“Forget it. I’ll take it slow!” Ding Hao knew that it was useless to be anxious now, so he quickly set aside the little depression in his heart.

Since he couldn’t get any information here and all the books had been read, Ding Hao would not stay here any longer.

He turned around and walked out.

Ding Hao closed the door casually. When he was about to go back, a figure suddenly came slowly from not far away and soon came to him.

It was none other than the military counselor who had been by the Crown Prince’s side the entire time, Wusun Liuce.

“Military Counselor?”

“Brother Ding Hao, have you finished reading all the books so quickly?” Wusun Liuce smiled and asked, “How did it go? Are the books here useful for the recovery of your memories of the Spirit Region?”

Last night, when Ding Hao proposed to enter the library, Wusun Liuce was standing aside, so he naturally knew why Ding Hao was there.

“No!” Ding Hao shook his head and said with a smile, “But because of the ancient books here, I have a new understanding of the Spirit Region.”

“Well, that’s great.” Wusun Liuce smiled.

Ding Hao suddenly thought of something and said to Wusun Liuce with a smile, “Military Counselor, you’re well-informed and must know a lot of unknown things. If possible, can you tell me about them so that I can learn more?”

“Brother Ding Hao, you flatter me. I’m just a bit knowledgeable. I’m not well-informed at all. However, since you’ve asked me to do that, I’m willing to help you.” After saying that modestly, Wusun Liuce did not turn down Ding Hao’s proposal. Instead, he seemed to be very glad to help him.

Although Wusun Liuce was a little old and was also the teacher of Crown Prince Rong Fu, he talked to Ding Hao as an equal and his tone was very polite.

Obviously, he also wanted to make friends with Ding Hao.

“Thank you, Military Counselor!” Ding Hao smiled slightly. After looking around, he said, “This is not the right place for a conversation. Why don’t you come to my residence? We can have a good talk there. What do you think?”

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking!” Military Counselor Wusun nodded.

Soon, Ding Hao returned to his residence with Military Counselor Wusun.

They sat opposite each other. Ding Hao took out the precious tea leaves stored in the room and immediately began to make tea.

The boiling water flowed into the tea set, soaking the tea leaves. Wisps of hot air rose in spirals, emitting a tea fragrance that immediately spread throughout the room.

Drinking fine tea, the two began to talk.

…

As Ding Hao had imagined, Wusun Liuce was well-informed and knowledgeable about many strange things in the world. He knew what many people didn’t know, and he even had a unique understanding of many cultivation methods.

Many of these things had not been described in the thousands of scrolls in the library.

Even if there were some, they weren’t as detailed as Wusun Liuce’s description.

Through him, Ding Hao knew a lot about the Spirit Region, the Nine Spirits Tribe, and even other regions.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Ding Hao did not ask about the Heart of Heaven and Earth or anything else during this conversation.

During the conversation, after listening to some things described by Military Counselor Wusun, Ding Hao also expressed his views on some things.

Ding Hao’s views often coincided with Military Counselor Wusun’s. Military Counselor Wusun suddenly regretted that he had not met Ding Hao earlier. They became friends despite their age difference.

Therefore, in the following days, Military Counselor Wusun often came to Ding Hao and had a good chat with him.

On this day, Military Counselor Wusun came to Ding Hao’s room again.

As usual, Military Counselor Wusun began to talk about some of his knowledge. After he finished, Ding Hao said, “Military Counselor, I happened to hear someone mention a strange thing called Heart of Heaven and Earth. Do you know it?”

“Heart of Heaven and Earth? Heart of Heaven and Earth… Heart of Heaven and Earth… I seem to have seen this name somewhere…” Military Counselor Wusun raised his eyebrows slightly and said those words as he thought hard.

“He has seen it!” Hearing what Military Counselor Wusun said, Ding Hao instantly felt overjoyed, but his expression did not change. He did not disturb him and quietly waited for his answer.

Suddenly, Military Counselor Wusun seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ding Hao and said slowly, “I have indeed seen the name ‘Heart of Heaven and Earth’ in an ancient book, but I did not pay attention to the details. I only remember the name.”

“An ancient book?” Ding Hao was delighted, but his expression remained unchanged. He asked him calmly, “Where have you seen this ancient book before?”

Although he had got some news, Ding Hao was still very calm at this time.

Military Counselor Wusun didn’t notice anything unusual and continued, “Actually, I only saw this book by chance. I remember it was many years ago. At that time, I…”

Later, through the description of Military Counselor Wusun, Ding Hao knew how he saw the name. Most importantly, Ding Hao got to know the location of the ancient book that recorded the Heart of Heaven and Earth.

“So, is this book in the royal library?” Ding Hao asked after listening.

Military Counselor Wusun nodded and said, “Yeah. That year, I did indeed enter the royal library when I saw this book.”

“It turns out to be in the royal library…” Ding Hao nodded and did not mention this topic again. As if he had mentioned it casually, he dropped it after the conversation.

Even a smart man like Military Counselor Wusun did not notice anything unusual about Ding Hao.

The two of them continued to chat.

“It’s getting late. It’s time for me to go back…”

“Take care, Military Counselor!”

After another four hours, Military Counselor Wusun finally got up and left under Ding Hao’s respectful gaze.

“Oh, Human Pet, it seems that the book is our only clue!” Evil Moon, who had been lying on the bed, yawned and suddenly spoke after Military Counselor Wusun left.

Ding Hao nodded and said, “Well, it seems that only by going to the royal library and taking out that book can I know the clues of Heart of Heaven and Earth.”

Evil Moon blinked its big eyes and asked, “However, do you know where this royal library is?”

“Don’t worry. I knew where the royal library was a long time ago,” Ding Hao said with a smile.

“Since you know, that’s enough. Don’t disturb me. I’m going to sleep…” As Evil Moon said that, it opened its mouth and yawned. Then, it lay down again and fell asleep.

“The Fat Cat is really fond of sleeping…” After a wry smile, Ding Hao walked to the window, looked at the sunset outside, and murmured, “The royal library!”

…

Although Ding Hao knew that there was news about the Heart of Heaven and Earth in the royal library, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he stayed in the Crown Prince’s Mansion for a few days quietly as usual.

Three days later, Ding Hao took action.

After giving Evil Moon a few instructions, Ding Hao turned into a breeze and disappeared from the room.

Without attracting anyone’s attention, he went out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion and flew in a certain direction.

Ding Hao moved like the wind, running fast in the Nine Spirits City. Like lightning, he quickly passed through many streets.

Many pedestrians walked on the street as usual. They only felt a breeze blowing, but they didn’t notice that someone had just passed by.

This was true even for people at high cultivation levels.

Soon, Ding Hao entered the most heavily guarded Imperial Palace in Nine Spirits City.

This was where all the high-level members of the Nine Spirits Tribe, including the patriarch whose cultivation had reached the Eternal Realm, stayed.

Groups of imperial guards patrolled along the long, wide, and complicated bluestone paths in an orderly manner.

Although these guards had powerful cultivation, they didn’t notice that someone had sneaked into the Imperial Palace and was rushing to the royal library.

Ding Hao passed through winding corridors, elegant pavilions, and the glorious palaces.

A strand of cool breeze didn’t carry any aura, nor did it release any sound as it continuously passed through the Imperial Palace.

In the end, Ding Hao finally arrived at his destination – the royal library.

This was a palace with carvings of dragons and phoenixes, vivid and lifelike. At the entrance of the palace was a bronze cauldron as tall as three people’s height combined.

At the top of the red-painted gate, there was a black Gold Phoebe plaque hanging, on which the name “royal library” was written.

“I found the royal library. Hmm? That’s…” Ding Hao, who was hiding, suddenly smiled when he saw this scene, but soon his smile froze.

Although there were no guards around the palace and it appeared extremely ordinary, the ground within a thousand feet radius around the palace was so mysterious that it caused one to feel dazzled. The lines that interweaved with each other had numerous grooves on the edges that contained numerous top-grade Dark Stones.

The space there was filled with a restriction formation force. It was as if one would be imprisoned by this force the moment they stepped within one hundred feet of the palace.

“A tactical deployment!

“This is a tactical deployment!

“No wonder no one is guarding this place. It has a tactical deployment protecting it. I wonder how powerful it is…” Ding Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Running his power a bit, he released a wisp of Divine Senses and slowly explored the tactical deployment.

The Divine Senses touched the tactical deployment and seeped into the patterns. Ding Hao slowly explored it and did not dare to go too far.

After a while, Ding Hao seemed to have detected something. He suddenly frowned, and as time went by, his brows became more and more wrinkled.
