Rules of Heaven - C24

The girl surnamed Su coldly looked at her for a few moments, then stood up and left the cave after walking down the stone stairs. Ding Hong did not know why she was crying by herself here. Perhaps something sad happened to her. However, that was someone else’s business, so he did not mind. After sorting the herbs, he left the cave and returned to the bamboo house.

When he returned, the old woman had already finished preparing lunch, so she called him over when she saw him return. Ding Hong couldn’t help but feel a little curious as to why he didn’t see the young girl from yesterday. He asked, “Granny Qi, why didn’t you see that young girl yesterday?”

The old woman ate a few mouthfuls before replying, “That little girl has already entered the Aquatic Palace. She doesn’t need to live here anymore.”

“Hmm?” Ding Hong didn’t expect that the young girl had already become a Penglai disciple. He couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.

The old woman looked up and continued eating. After eating, the old woman said to him, “Since the Sect Leader wants you to go to the Immortal Heaven Pavilion to read books, I shouldn’t ask you to bring these herbs over during the day. You can go read in the afternoon and bring the rest of the herbs back to the cave when you come back. ”

Hearing that, Ding Hong became excited: “Really? “But I don’t know how to get to that Immortal Heaven Pavilion.”

The old woman said, “Once you leave my bamboo garden, head straight to the right. There is only one path there. If you follow that path, you will be able to see the Heavenly Immortal Pavilion. The Heavenly Immortal Pavilion is guarded by Elder Penglai. They will definitely let you in if you go. ”

Ding Hong nodded, thanked him, and walked out. After exiting the bamboo garden, he saw a small path. The path was about one zhang wide, and he didn’t hesitate to walk straight ahead. At first, the path was covered with bamboo leaves. When one stepped on it, ‘huff huff’, it was extremely comfortable. However, as the bamboo dwindled and the trees grew larger, the feeling was gone. After walking for a while, he saw a stone path embedded into the side of the mountain wall. Not far away from the wall was the waterfall that Ding Hong saw yesterday.

The sound of the waterfall crashing on the ground rumbled loudly. Water droplets splattered everywhere and the fog rose. Even the trees around Ding Hong had some water droplets hanging from them. Ding Hong took in a deep breath. The fresh air he inhaled was sweet, and a lot of his fatigue was gone. No wonder the strange book had said how much the Immortal School liked to build strange places in the mountains. So they actually had this layer of meaning.

After sighing for a while, Ding Hong walked up the stone stairs and arrived at the top. Above the mountain was the upper reaches of the waterfall, and on the other side of the river was a stone staircase. On the other side of the river was a tall tower, and behind the tower was a cliff. On both sides of the river were a few protruding, slightly flat rocks connected to each other. When Ding Hong passed by those rocks and arrived at the other side of the river, he discovered Elder Ren leaning against a tree in the Wuwei Hall.

When Elder Ren saw Ding Hong, he said, “You came pretty quickly.”

Hearing his words, Ding Hong did not dare to act rashly. He bowed and said, “Greetings, Elder Ren.”

Seeing that he understood the rules of etiquette, Elder Ren nodded his head, “Today’s events in the Awakening Hall must be kept in mind and not spread outside.”

Ding Hong thought that if the news about what happened that morning were to spread out, it would probably affect them greatly. He also knew about the dangers involved and replied, “I understand, kid.”

Thereafter, Elder Ren added, “The tower you saw is the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, which has a total of ten floors. You can read every level, but I still recommend that you start from the very beginning, first read, and not cultivate. After you finish reading all the books on the first floor to the tenth floor, you can then choose the books that you want to study specifically. ”

Knowing that he was teaching him, he hurriedly replied, “This child will remember this. Thank you Elder Ren for your teachings.”

Elder Ren nodded his head, “There is a small bottle on the table in the middle of the first floor of the Immortal Heaven Pavilion. You can drink the water in that small bottle and don’t care if you sleep or not.

Ding Hong thanked him once again before entering the Immortal Heaven Pavilion. The moment he entered, Wu Lingdao suddenly appeared in midair. He looked at the Immortal Heaven Pavilion for a long time before asking, “Senior Brother, do you think that youth’s Heavenly Talisman and Fuxi’s arm bone can awaken that thing?”

Elder Ren shook his head after a long while, “It’s very difficult, but adding the fact that we’ve collected that little bit of three days’ worth of souls, it’s not like there’s no hope.”

Wu Ling nodded, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked: “In the past few days, has there been any movement of ‘jumping out of the norm’ in the Dark Profound Realm?”

“Sect Leader, I told you over a hundred years ago not to take in the Dark Family as your disciple. As one of the ten most cursed families in the ancient times, there was a strong bloodlust in your bones, and on that day in the main hall, I had a feeling that this brat was not just for show. If we don’t deal with him soon, then in the future …”

After Wu Lingdao heard his words, he sighed and waved his hand, telling him to stop. He said tiredly, “Senior Brother, let’s stop here for today.” After saying that, he turned into smoke and disappeared.

Seeing Wu Lingdao like this, Elder Ren couldn’t help but frown. In the end, he couldn’t help but sigh and lean against a tree as he closed his eyes.

As for Ding Hong, the moment he entered the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he discovered that there was a table in the middle with a chair on it. The surrounding bookshelves were also arranged in a circle around the table. There were a lot of books on the bookshelf, some new, some old.

Ding Hong casually took out a book from the nearest one. On the book was written “Five Elements of Spirit Forbidden”. It roughly described the effects of using the five spirits of nature to imprison objects. Considering that this tower had ten floors, if there were so many books on each floor, then he would probably have to come here to read for a day every day. Whether he could finish reading all of them within four years would be a problem. Ding Hong took the < < Five Spirit Forbidden > > book and sat at the table, slowly reading it.

He read the letter word by word, stopping every now and then to think about it seriously. However, he had read many books since he was young and had learned a good memory and reading ability. Although these books were somewhat difficult for him to understand, he could still remember more than half of them after he had read them.

By the time he had finished reading the book, it was already dark outside. He lamented that he had not read for a long time and that he had lost his level of photographic memory. But if an outsider were to know that he had spent an entire afternoon reading and writing down more than half of the book, he would probably be shocked to the point that his mouth dropped open.

After Ding Hong came out of the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he found Elder Ren still lying on the tree. He couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim at this old man’s patience. When he arrived beside him, he realized that Elder Ren had not moved at all. He wondered if the old man was really asleep or if he was pretending, but he didn’t think much about it. After saluting the old man, he walked back alone.

At this moment, there was a moon in the sky and the moonlight shone down like water. It seemed as if the entire Penglai was covered with a layer of silver. Ding Hong just happened to use the moonlight to return to the bamboo garden. When he arrived at the bamboo house, he found that the old woman was not there. He rested for a while before he began to move the herbs into the cave. He went back to his house and washed up before falling asleep.

The next day, when he woke up, he felt full of energy again. First, he went to eat breakfast. After he identified some medicinal herbs from the old woman, he went to study at the Immortal Heaven Pavilion and returned in the evening to bring the medicinal herbs.

The days went by one by one. Ding Hong felt that this life was neither fast nor quick. After more than a month, Ding Hong was already able to roughly read the herbs that the old woman tidied up everyday. As for the books on the first floor of the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he had already read about half of them. During this period of time, he did not read through all of them before choosing to choose, like what Elder Ren had said. Instead, he carefully read through every single detail of every book, memorizing every useful piece. The current him could be considered to have mastered a few small spells, but he was unable to learn most of them.

But what made Ding Hong most depressed was the flying technique. During this period of time, he had read a few books on flying objects many times, but after cultivating each one, he found that there was not the slightest bit of change in his body. However, after Ding Hong had practiced according to the method recorded in the book, he found that he was unable to cultivate the so-called spirit in the book. He had wanted to ask Elder Ren many times, but he had always encountered such a situation, and thus, Ding Hong was still unclear about the reason. Of course, he had naturally asked the old woman before, but after he asked, the old woman would stammer every time, not knowing why. There were also some spells that were useless to him even after he studied them. Every time he asked the old woman, the old woman would only look at him strangely and say that it was probably due to the Imperial Equipment Technique. Ding Hong was perplexed.

That day, Ding Hong had just finished his lunch and was about to go to the Immortal Heaven Pavilion to read a book when someone called out to him …

“Brother Ding, how have you been?” It was Yang Xuan, riding a sword from afar.

Seeing that it was him, Ding Hong could not help but laugh. “Look at Big Brother Yang’s energetic face filled with excitement. Where are you heading to?”

After Yang Xuan landed, he walked to his side and happily said, “Of course to participate in the inner sect competition.”

“Nebi?” Ding Hong said in surprise, “What inner comparison?”

Yang Xuan had a face of surprise as he said, “Ah, you don’t know! Oh, right, I forgot that you’re not a Penglai disciple, I’m afraid I didn’t inform you. This time, the competition was arranged at midnight. We want to use this competition to determine the disciples that will go to the Heavenly Palace to participate in the competition. ” After saying that, he sighed. It’s enough for someone of my level to be able to participate in the world competition. But this time, there are three things I want to watch? ” He said with a faint smile.

“Three o’clock?” Ding Hong was baffled. So what if it was an internal comparison? Why were there three places to observe? Puzzled, he asked, “Which three points?”

Yang Xuanzheng chuckled and said: “The first point, is to watch our seniors and juniors make a fool of themselves; the second point is to watch a good fight; is there a need for the third point …” Yang Xuanzheng, on the other hand, kept everyone in suspense.

Ding Hong’s excitement was sparked by a few words from him. He could not help but anxiously ask, “What’s the third one?”

Yang Xuan laughed and said, “Naturally, we are going to see a beauty!”

“…” Ding Hong was speechless. However, when he thought about how lively it would be back then, he could not help but want to take a walk around. He said, “Then, Big Brother Yang, I wonder if I can go and observe it together with you?”

Yang Xuanzheng chuckled several times, patted his shoulder and said, “I knew it.” Beauties were something everyone loved to look at, so it wasn’t that big of a deal! I was going to go with you in the first place, what do you mean I can’t! ”

After hearing that, Ding Hong was delighted. “When will the Neibei start?”

“Today, is today!” Yang Xuan laughed, “Today seems to be the top 50. Tomorrow, we will be fighting for the top 25, so the inner competition will be over.” At this time, it’s about time for your Big Brother Yang and I to go on stage. ” He stared at his surroundings before whispering in Ding Hong’s ear, “Rumor has it that my opponent is the senior sister from the Aquatic Rhino Hall.”

“You’re too …” Ding Hong was speechless.

“Alright, alright.” Yang Xuan straightened his face and said, “Let’s go now. It will be my turn after a while.”

Ding Hong nodded and followed Yang Xuan out of the bamboo garden.
