Rules of Heaven - C27

He couldn’t help but be stunned. Su Ting seemed to have also felt his arrival. Her face changed and she quickly stood up to wipe away the tears in her eyes as she looked over at him. When she saw that it was Ding Hong, she was obviously stunned for a moment before she prepared to leave with a cold expression.

Who knew that when she passed by Ding Hong, Ding Hong would suddenly reach out and grab her wrist. He said, “Wouldn’t it be better to say anything? Why does she always cry alone in a corner? ”

Su Ting turned around and coldly looked at Ding Hong, but he found that Ding Hong’s eyes were so clean that they were terrifying. She just kept looking at Ding Hong.

To be honest, this was the first time Ding Hong saw her crying by herself and knew that something was on her mind, but he couldn’t ask her about it. However, this second time around, Ding Hong actually mustered up the courage to keep her here to help her get rid of the depression in her heart. This was because Ding Hong himself had some before, and the people inside the stronghold, including his grandfather, only knew that he was smart and lively. However, none of them knew that he had hidden himself in some unknown corner and secretly cried.

Ding Hong’s body moved and pulled Su Ting to the place where she used to sit. He first sat down and then looked at Su Ting. As for Su Ting, it was unknown what expression he had. After looking at Ding Hong for a long time, he slowly sat down beside him.

The two of them didn’t say a word and only continued to stare at the strange scenery of the Jadeite Beach.

Until the sun set.

Sutin suddenly stood up and left. After walking for a distance, she suddenly said, “Thank you.” Then she left alone. Ding Hong watched her back until she disappeared. Then, he turned his head to continue watching the scenery of the Jadeite Beach until it was completely dark. Only then did Ding Hong return to the bamboo garden to rest.

After a silent night, Ding Hong lay down and opened his eyes. It was already the second day. Today was also the highlight of Penellanby’s performance. Fighting for the top 25! According to the rules, the top three rankings were certain to be made. And the top three would be the highlight of the show!

He braced himself and was about to run out of the house towards the nether lake when the old woman suddenly appeared in front of his door. Looking at Ding Hong’s posture, she knew that he was going to watch the competition at the nether lake. She said, “You’d better not watch that competition today.”

He could not help but feel a little confused at the words that came out of his mouth. He asked in a daze, “Why?”

The old woman’s face was filled with impatience as she said, “If we don’t go, then we won’t go. How can there be so many reasons!” After saying that, she ignored Ding Hong and left. Ding Hong was left standing there gloomily.

“This …”

Ding Hong let out a sigh. He thought that he might not have had his fill of luck. When he felt discouraged, he suddenly thought of that strange golden butterfly mask. His expression brightened and he was ready to use that golden butterfly mask to watch the competition.

However, just as he took out the mask, a thought flashed through his mind. Why would the old woman not allow him to watch the inner comparison for no reason at all? There had to be something going on. She didn’t want him to get involved!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but lower his hand. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out the reason, so he could only head over to the Immortal Heaven Pavilion to read some books.

Arriving at the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he found Elder Ren lying leisurely on the tree, when he suddenly recalled the matter regarding the Imperial Equipment. He came under the tree and bowed respectfully. “Immortal elder, I would like to ask you a few things about flying things.”

Elder Ren looked back and asked, “You can’t build your spirit in your body, right?”

Ding Hong was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Tang Wulin’s words to contain the doubts in his heart. He was immediately overjoyed as he asked, “Then does Immortal Elder have a solution?”

Elder Ren didn’t answer his question, instead, he asked, “Do you know why the Sect Leader didn’t accept you as a Penglai disciple?”

He didn’t know what he meant, but just as he was about to answer, a thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that he was unable to build his spirit? He became silent for a moment, then bowed to the old man and said, “I understand.”

After Ding Hong arrived at the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he quietly sat on the chair, not moving an inch. The sun was shining down on him, but it was hard to see his expression.

He had read many books in the past month and knew that the so-called Spirit Building Method used the will and spirit of the world to form his soul. If he couldn’t gather the spirit, then he couldn’t borrow the spirit to cast most of the techniques. No wonder the old woman had looked at him with a strange expression many times before when he had asked her why he couldn’t build his spirit.

Ding Hong suddenly clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. His expression was very calm, so calm that it was terrifying.

He felt indignant in his heart.

Even if he couldn’t build his spirit, he could still cultivate something similar to that kind of thing! He had the Heavenly Talisman, Fuxi’s arm bone, and that mysterious sword intent. How could he ever lose to anyone else?!

“Hmph.” He could not help but snort coldly.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly said, “Little friend, this old man knows another way to become a False Spiritual Body. I wonder if little friend is willing.”

“Eh?” Hearing this voice, who else could it be other than the old man he had been thinking of day and night?

He was so excited that he did not care about who he was. Afraid that the Elder Ren outside would hear, he quietly said, “Ancestor, I have finally waited you out! I wonder what is the meaning of that False Spiritual Body? ”

The mysterious old man’s voice was a little hoarse. He paused for a moment before suddenly speaking, “Your thoughts are telling me that you seem to know about the Heavenly Talisman, right?”

Ding Hong’s heart quivered. Only now did he know that this mysterious old man could read his thoughts. Unexpectedly, just as he thought of this, the old man said, “Little friend, don’t be afraid. I think little friend already knows that I can’t possibly be Fuxi. Of course, when little friend asked me that day, I didn’t tell you that it was Fuxi, right? ”

His question rendered Ding Hong somewhat speechless. Indeed, Ding Hong now remembered that day when he asked the old man if he was Fuxi. He merely smiled and didn’t reply …

The mysterious old man continued, “Actually, I can also be considered as Fuxi. Because I have a part of Fuxi’s body, a part of Ji Chang’s mind, and a part of Kong Qiu’s character, I don’t even know who I am anymore.”

“What!” Ding Hong was shocked. This was the first time he heard this mysterious old man talk about his origins. However, the origin he mentioned was really too frightening and he couldn’t help but be shocked.

Who was Fuxi? This was an ancient sage. Who was Ji Chang? Was that a great sage from the Middle Ages? Who was Kong Qiu? Everyone knew that he was an ancient saint! How could this old man be one of them?

The mysterious old man saw that Ding Hong was surprised, but he did not react to anything abnormal. He only said, “Little friend, I originally wanted this Heavenly Talisman to remain silent forever, never to reappear in the world. However … But … Sigh. “He suddenly sighed,” It has been nine thousand years since the last time of humanity. In a few decades, the world will become even more terrifying than the war today.

Ding Hong felt a chill in his heart as he heard his words. His hairs stood on end as he asked, “How did it turn out like this?”

The old man sighed deeply, and said, “In the ancient times, the human race wasn’t the only one. Demons, demons, humans, ghosts, and other races lived together for a lifetime, and because humans were extremely lucky, they had to go through countless trials and tribulations to kill off the evildoers, expel the evildoers, and seal the ghost horde to have peace in this world. At that time, the world will only be called the Year of the Year! ”

Upon hearing these words, Ding Hong’s mind was unable to wrap its head around the situation. Because most of the books that recorded the history of BC had already been destroyed, and those few books only recorded a few records of the emperors of the past, but they had never heard anything about demons, monsters, ghosts, or the masses.

“Little friend, as long as you agree to this old man’s favor, I can let you know the secrets of this Heavenly Talisman. At that time, building your spirit will be an easy task.” The old man said.

Ding Hong always felt that this old man had some other purpose, but now that he could think of any kind of old man and didn’t dare to think of any unwillingness or suspicion, hearing the old man say this, he said, “Of course I’m willing.”

“Alright.” The old man said, “This Heavenly Talisman is actually not a sacrificial artifact, but a Yin Yang Soul Locking Weapon. As long as your soul is fused with it, there will be a False Spiritual Body within your body.

“Eternal life?” Ding Hong frowned. “If this artifact is really that powerful, then why didn’t anyone use it to obtain eternal life in the past?”

The old man sighed and said, “Back then, I know how many people tried to tie their souls to it, but in the end, their souls split and turned into heavenly wandering souls.”

Ding Hong coughed dryly and said, “Then wouldn’t my soul also shatter into pieces after being bound with it?”

The old man laughed: “Of course not, because there’s something inside this tower! As long as you use that item, you will be able to easily fuse the Heavenly Talisman with your soul. ”

The treasure of Penglai Sect! Ding Hong’s first thought was the sect treasure that the old woman told him. However, what exactly was this Sect’s treasure and why was it related to the Heavenly Talisman? All of this seemed like a huge question mark.

“The treasure of the sect? Hehe, that thing is enough. It’s called the Fantasy Star, and it has the ability to hide the truth from the world and overturn the universe! In the Primordial Era, there had only been two. Most likely, this was one of them. ”

Ding Hong understood the meaning behind the old man’s words. He could not help but frown and ask, “If I were to use the Fantasy Star, wouldn’t I be discovered by the Penglai clan?”

“Of course not.” The old man said, “You only need to wait at the side and follow the spell I gave you to begin fusing. You only need to rely on the effects of the illusionary star.”

After pretending to ponder over it, Ding Hong said, “Alright then.”

The old man continued, “I will pass down the technique now.”

After that, Ding Hong felt as if a spell had appeared in his mind. It was as if that spell had become his own memory. It was very convenient to be able to directly read it just by thinking about it. After the old man saw that he was reading, he said, “The Fantasy Star is on the tenth floor of the tower.

Ding Hong nodded his head and went straight to the tenth floor of the tower. There were no bookshelves on the tenth floor. There were only four tables with a book placed on each table. Between each of the four tables was a stone sculpture.

The old man said, “As long as you sit beside me and circulate the spell I just gave you.”

Hearing his words, Ding Hong walked over. As for Ding Hong, he did not even notice that he was actually doing as the old man said. He did not even think about it at all, as if he had turned into a puppet. And yet, he didn’t feel it.

Shi Mu sat cross-legged in front of the statue. Then, he started to practice the incantation the old man had given him. And just as he started channeling that incantation, the Heavenly Talisman in his right hand started to churn. It actually drilled out of his hand and revolved slowly around his body.
