Chapter 1296 - 101 Reunion
The person present who knew the Heaven Path best was Ding Chunqiu, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Naturally, he was the one who told Ding Hao about the situation.
It had only been a few decades since Ding Hao left. According to Ding Chunqiu, the six paths had not changed much.
Since Xiang Zeyu led the Feather Clan to invade the sect again when he got crushed by Ding Hao and was imprisoned in a land of exile, the Snow Province, the Northern Region, and even the entire Heaven Path world had once again realized that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was an inviolable holy land. Since then, no force had dared to offend the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
Many forces were more and more respectful to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Every time they visited the sect, they respected it as a divine temple and honored it as the holy land of martial arts.
It was also because of Ding Hao’s appearance that the entire continent went crazy again. Countless elite martial artists outside Snow Province rushed to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect from thousands of miles away. Even some from other regions wanted to be apprenticed to the sect in order to meet their idol.
During that period, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect once again became the focus of the entire continent.
It could be seen that Ding Hao, who had only appeared for a short while, had caused a huge uproar in the entire Heaven Path world.
If Ding Hao had not been away in the past few decades, this trend would not have dissipated.
In God’s Palace in the Land of Divine Grace.
The God Emperor Hua Mojian was indeed worthy of being the candidate chosen by Imperator Ding. In just a few decades, he had brought the God’s Palace to a higher level, reaching the peak and even catching up with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
From this, it could be seen that under the leadership of the God Emperor, the God’s Palace had entered an extraordinary golden age.
All the major forces on the Eastern Continent that were under God’s Palace’s command praised Hua Mojian the God Emperor, who was known as Young Ding Hao.
The Feather Clan used to be a major force.
Ever since the new master of the Feather Clan, Xiang Zeyu, was imprisoned, the remaining forces of the Feather Clan had been in constant turmoil. Some members of the Feather Clan even began to have the idea of replacing Xiang Zeyu and becoming the king.
During this process, some people of the Feather Clan naturally threatened that if Ding Hao did not release Xiang Zeyu, they would fight to the death with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. This was the announcement released by the radical members of the Feather Clan.
However, some of their clansmen were clear about the current situation. They knew that the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had Ding Hao as its backer. Even if they tried their best, they were no match for Ding Hao. They could only try their best to persuade their clansmen to turn hostility into friendship.
In the end, maybe they had recognized the situation, or they had been suppressed by some forces of their clan. For whatever reason, these people of the Feather Clan who wanted to fight to the death with the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had ended up with nothing definite.
As for those of the Feather Clan who wanted to declare themselves kings, they were unable to become the new rulers of this clan because they couldn’t be beloved or supported by their people.
In the end, the Feather Clan could only rely on the older generation to control their clansmen and take charge of the large clan.
After hearing the news, Ding Hao sorted out his thoughts, looked at Ding Chunqiu, and reminded him, “Well, you don’t have to worry about the Feather Clan for the time being. Let them be. Of course, if those remaining forces have disloyalty and want to do something, you can suppress them appropriately. But remember, don’t go too far. After all, they are also members of this world…”
Since some people in the Feather Clan knew how to solve the problem peacefully, Ding Hao naturally did not want to fight with them.
Ding Chunqiu nodded to show that he understood.
The others looked at each other and smiled. Ding Hao really hadn’t changed at all. He was still that kind.
Next was the matter of the Sea Clan.
Although Adorable, the Sea God, had grown up, it was still as childish as before. Therefore, most of the affairs of the Sea Clan had been handed over to the former Mermaid Princess, the current High Priestess.
The last time Ding Hao went to the Southern Wilderness, he found that there were too many people of the Sea Clan. There seemed to be a solution.
In addition to the birth control policy proposed by the Mermaid Princess, the situation of the Sea Clan had eased a little. They finally reached an agreement with the Central Continent and the Eastern Frontier to exchange resources for land, or the sea region.
Of course, the area they got wasn’t that large, but this could still be considered a good start.
“With this beginning, I believe that with the means and wisdom of the Mermaid Princess, it should not be too difficult for her to solve this problem.” Ding Hao thought to himself. However, at this time, he also thought of the conversation he had heard from the Immortal Period in the Sea God Palace, and he kept thinking.
Ding Chunqiu knew what his father was thinking, but he did not stop telling the story.
Since the merger of the two continents, although there were some conflicts between the Beast Clan and the Demon Clan every once in a while, the conflicts stayed between some small demons and small beasts. Most of the demons and the beasts could get along well with each other as if they were a family.
As for the Heaven Sect in the Southern Land, it was still the same as before. Half of its members were humans, and the other half were demons. The two different clans had gotten along much better with the help of Ding Ke’er and Wen Duoqing. There was no fighting and killing between them as before.
During this period, the Lord Buddha of the Western Desert, Golden Cicada, had been preaching throughout the entire Western Desert. Sometimes, he even went to other regions to preach Buddhism, so there were more and more devout believers.
When Ding Chunqiu finished talking about the forces of the Heaven Path world, he began to talk about Ding Hao’s friends and relatives.
During this period, the Pig Immortal Zhu Ganglie, who was no longer suppressed by Ding Hao, began to feel the itch to fight. In the six paths, he kept looking for hidden masters to compete with and fight with.
One of the masters he came to was Feng Ning, the Evil Sword Immortal.
But Feng Ning was really afraid of him. Every time he heard the voice of Pig Immortal from a distance, he fled there in a hurry, for fear that he would be entangled by him. He didn’t have the demeanor of a master at all.
It was not that Feng Ning couldn’t defeat Pig Immortal, but that the latter’s skin and flesh were thick. Their cultivation levels were similar. Every time they fought, the result was a draw.
However, Pig Immortal was such a person. He insisted on competing with Feng Ning. He was as annoying as a resentful ghost. That was why Feng Ning was forced to make such a move.
The Great Ape King was also in the same situation. However, he did not hide as Feng Ning did. He hit the Pig Immortal hard with his stick. Only after venting the resentment in his heart would he avoid this battle maniac.
“Haha, these guys are still so interesting!” Ding Hao laughed.
“Meow. Why is this pig still like this? It’s been so many years, and yet he hasn’t grown up yet. Alas…” Evil Moon said, shaking its head. It stretched out its two claws and kept picking up the plates in front of it, pouring the delicious food full of Spiritual Qi directly into its mouth. It chewed and swallowed the food madly, and even the white hair around its mouth was stained with a layer of oil.
Everyone was speechless, and Ding Hao even rolled his eyes at Evil Moon directly. “How could you be so obsessed with eating after so many years? “How dare you complain about others?”
“Meow. What are you looking at?” Evil Moon seemed to have felt everyone’s gaze. It looked back, stood up, and said proudly, “You should know that in the past few decades, I have gone through life and death for Human Pet to search the Heart of Heaven and Earth. Every day, I can’t sleep or eat well because I care about the world. Meow, I work so hard and have such a nice virtue… You see, I have lost a lot of weight. If I don’t have a good meal here, how can I have the energy to help my Human Pet, right?!”
Ding Hao and the others were speechless.
Ding Hao ignored the Fat Cat that had embarrassed him. He turned to Ding Chunqiu and asked, “What about Ke’er and Duoqing?”
“Aunt Ke’er and my uncle have been dealing with things on Heaven Island these days. Most of the time, they will go back to Earth to accompany my grandparents. Sometimes, they will come to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect to ask if you’re back, and sometimes they will go to…” Ding Chunqiu answered in detail.
Next, Ding Hao also got to know the situations of Li Canyang, Lin Xin, Wuwo, Nalan Youxia and his sister, and other people.
To Ding Hao’s pity, Hua Huai’an and Gu Shaochu passed away one after another during this period.
However, Ding Hao felt a bit better when he heard that the two passed away quite peacefully with their relatives around them.
In addition to his relatives and friends far away, Ding Chunqiu also began to talk about the experiences of the people around him during this period.
After discussing these things, everyone began to talk about Ding Hao’s trip to the Primordial World.
Ding Chunqiu asked, “Father, it’s been so long since you went to the Primordial World. Have you finished your business there?”
“Senior Brother Ding, with your ability, you should have found the Heart of Heaven and Earth!” Fang Tianyi said.
“Senior Brother Fang, Nephew Qiu, you shouldn’t be questioning his ability. Senior Brother Ding Hao must have already obtained it. Don’t you know how powerful he is?” Zhang Fan was very confident in Ding Hao.
Xie Jieyu, Li Lan, Li Yiruo, and Ximen Qianxue did not ask much. They only needed their husband to be fine. The safety of their family was more important than anything else.
Ding Hao sighed, and his face became serious.
Evil Moon who had been eating and drinking also stopped at this moment.
Seeing the expression of Ding Hao, everyone knew that something was wrong.
Ding Hao took a breath and replied, “I did find the Heart of Heaven and Earth, but I don’t have it. Half of it is with Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong, and the other half is with Ding Tong.”
“What? Ding Tong! He’s in the Primordial World now!”
“But wasn’t Ding Tong crippled by you, Senior Brother Ding? How did he know about the Primordial World?”
The crowd exclaimed. They didn’t expect that Ding Hao would meet Ding Tong on this trip, who had obtained half of the Heart of Heaven and Earth.
Ding Tong was a disaster. As long as he existed, there would definitely be chaos, death, and even war in any world.
“I guess Ding Tong learned it from Hades True Immortal… After going to the Primordial World, I went to the Nine Spirits Tribe, the Evil Yang Tribe, and the Charm Tribe there. I met Ding Tong twice in a row, but I only killed his entities there. Moreover, the two entities I met there were very different in strength…
“At that time, the patriarch of the Evil Yang Tribe, Xuan Tianzong, and I came to the remaining Yu Tribe and wanted to join forces with them, but we didn’t expect to meet Mu Tianyang. From him…” Then, Ding Hao told the people present what had happened. The people here were his family and friends, so there was nothing to hide.
