Rules of Heaven - C30
Ding Hong looked at Wu Ling Dao in astonishment, not knowing what was going on with him. Wu Ling Dao might have seen Ding Hong’s expression, so he shook his hand and said: “This humble one is fine, I was just feeling it in my heart. With the Sword Emperor’s Sword Intent, you can place it into the Yin-Yang Image. At that time, even This Penniless Priest did not know what sort of changes would occur, but when that day comes, This Penniless Priest will naturally help you. ”
After hearing what Wu Lingdao had said, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. He hurriedly said, “Thank you, immortal elder.”
Wu Lingdao waved his hand and said, “It’s getting late, so I’ll head back first.” He pointed to the medicine bottle on the table and said, “I presume Junior has also told you how to use this medicine, but you can’t consume too much of it. Alright, This Penniless Priest will go back now. ” With that, he turned and left the Immortal Heaven Pavilion.
When he arrived outside the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, Wu Lingdao frowned. Elder Ren appeared beside him without a sound and asked with a frown: “Junior Brother Sect Leader, that Sword Emperor’s Sword Intent …”
Wu Lingdao turned around and said calmly: “Have I ever heard of the Sword Emperor’s Sword Intent?”
Elder Ren was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood. He sighed and said, “Of course not.”
Wu Lingdao nodded his head and said, “It’s good that you don’t have it. This Sword Emperor’s Heaven’s Sword Intent has yet to appear. If you have the time, tell this to that child Ding Hong.”
Elder Ren gave a profound look at Wu Ling Dao and said: “I understand.”
Upon hearing Elder Ren’s words, Wu Lingdao did not say anything more. He took a step forward and disappeared under the moonlight. Elder Ren glanced at the Celestial Immortal Pavilion, then disappeared in a flash.
As for Ding Hong, after seeing Wu Lingdao leave, he picked up the overturned chair. He picked up the bottle and opened the cork, immediately smelling a faint fragrance. After inhaling a little bit of the smell, he felt his whole body relax. He then took a sip from the bottle. In an instant, he felt full of energy. The tiredness that he had felt earlier had also completely disappeared. Then he went straight to the ninth floor of the tower to look for the books of “Yin Yang Yi” and “Ten Wings” mentioned by Wu Ling Dao.
A few days ago, Ding Hong found that the number of books in this tower was decreasing from bottom to top. On the ninth floor, there were only two bookshelves, while < Yin Yang Yi > and < Ten Wings > were placed at the top of each bookshelf.
The first thing he took out was < Ease of Yin and Yang >. When he flipped it open, he discovered that it was actually about the Yin Yang trigram, but it was not as clear as what the mysterious old man had told him that day. However, with the first bit of knowledge that the mysterious old man had given him, it did not seem that difficult. It was just that he had to concentrate on studying for an entire night before he had a rough understanding of a few articles. It was not easy to understand.
After looking at it for a few days, Ding Hong returned to the bamboo garden and spent the day reading books. At night, he came back to move the herbs.
His days were neither fast nor slow, and after spending a year, Ding Hong had finally finished reading ‘Yin Yang Yi’, but regarding the Yin Yang Array, he said that he had to finish reading ‘Ten Wings’ before he could start cultivating. During this time, the Rain Master Xuan had come to him many times, saying that the Water Hall’s practice was too boring, but Ding Hong himself secretly said in his heart that he was even more bored reading those boring books every day. After resting for a while in the middle, Ding Hong began to study the < Ten Wings > again, while the Ten Wings were books that contained a portion of the < Yin Yang Yi > knowledge. When Ding Hong was reading < Yin Yang Yi >, he had his own unique understandings about it, but now that he was reading < Ten Wings >, he seemed like a fish back in water. After three or four months, he had finished studying the < Ten Wings >. However, he felt that when he was studying < Yin Yang Yi >, he had misunderstood it, and after he had spent another five months studying < Yin Yang Yi > and < Ten Wings >, he felt that a Yin Yang diagram was slowly rotating in his mind. At the beginning, it was not very clear, but as time passed, the Yin Yang diagram slowly took shape. With every revolution of the Yin-Yang Image, Ding Hong felt as if he had become one with the world. His mood was smooth and his thoughts were clear. Afterwards, he also spent a lot of time studying the ancient sword formation manuals. Penglai Immortal Heavenly Pavilion’s collection was extremely abundant, and there were many sword formation manuals that were revered by middle-sized sects, and even larger sects. However, Dante Hong did not know that there were many of them. He treated all of them like very ordinary books and took out their essence to refine the dregs. He tossed them back and forth for a long time, and unexpectedly, he had already imbued the sword intent into the Yin-Yang Image.
Today, Ding Hong could be considered to have truly finished reading “Yin Yang Yi” and “Ten Wings”, and the Yin Yang sword formation also had its initial form. Arriving at the precipitous cliff outside the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he only felt a surge of overwhelming power in his heart and couldn’t help but to let out a long howl. This roar filled the heavens and earth, and even the disciples at Penglai couldn’t help but be shocked. They all thought that a senior cultivator had mastered the Dao, and they all exclaimed in admiration.
After this long howl, Ding Hong instantly felt refreshed.
When he arrived at the base of the tree, he discovered that Elder Ren was there, so he casually asked Elder Ren how long it had been since he had arrived. He actually said it was two years. Some places in the Penglai Immortal Mountain were like the spring and summer, while others were like the autumn or winter. Usually, when Ding Hong was tired from reading, he would stroll around the Penglai Immortal Mountain.
He stood on top of the cliff and looked at the scenery around him. He felt as if he wanted to return to the land and wander around for a bit. In the past two years, although he stayed with Penglai’s many classic Daoist scriptures, he discovered that other than cultivating his own Yin Yang formation, most of the other Daoist scriptures were actually unable to cultivate. Furthermore, many of the Daoist scriptures had different cultivation methods and methods, and only the body could cultivate inside the Daoist scriptures, but it was similar to the Heavenly Sage Stone. At that time, Ding Hong finally understood why Wu Ling Road could put him at ease in the Immortal Heaven Pavilion. The Immortal Heaven Pavilion was like an immeasurably vast ocean while he was a landlubber. He couldn’t enter the water, nor could he bring away the seawater. But the more it was like this, the more Ding Hong couldn’t understand why the reaction on that day at the Dark Profound was so huge.
Now, after two years of growth, Ding Hong had the figure and appearance of an adult. His two heroic eyebrows pierced straight into his temples, and his eyes emitted a divine light. When he looked at Fang Xingjian, he only felt that he had fused with the scenery around him, without the slightest feeling of oddity.
“Hehe, it has been a long time since Benefactor has seen me. I never thought that he had already cultivated to such an extent!” Wu Lingdao suddenly said from behind him. Originally, Wu Ling Dao only heard Ding Hong’s long howl and thought he was just trying to relax. However, when he saw the feeling of the heaven and earth growing endlessly around him, he was shocked. To be honest, very few people had practiced this method of borrowing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth before because the cost was too high and the cost was too high. There was a detail that Formless Dao did not tell Ding Hong. The probability of failure was too high. According to his knowledge, since ancient times, only four to five people had practiced this technique, but in the end, all of them had failed.
After Ding Hong saw that Wu Lingdao had arrived, he bowed, no longer feeling embarrassed as before. He said, “Immortal elder, in the next few days, I have inserted the sword intent into the Yin Yang diagram ahead of time. However, I realized that the sword intent was intentionally-intangible, I wonder if Immortal elder can answer my question.” With that, with a thought, a slowly rotating Yin Yang diagram appeared behind him. The eight directions of the primal chaos diagram actually had eight sword Qis revolving slowly along with the Yin Yang diagram.
Wu Lingdao could see that the Yin-Yang Image was emitting a faint azure light, while the eight sword Qis exuded a domineering aura, appearing extremely ferocious. However, the sword Qis were completely incompatible with the Yin-Yang diagram. It was just like how the Yin Yang diagram was alive while the sword qi was dead. Wu Lingdao thought for a moment and said, “This humble one suspects that your sword intent has already been refined into a sword spirit and is also a formation spirit. However, your sword intent is too strong, so it cannot completely enter the Yin-Yang Image. You have to find some external lodgings for the Sword Spirits so that they can completely merge with the Yin-Yang Image. That is to say, your formation spirit is incomplete, and you are still unable to practice most of the spells. Of course, the Imperial Equipment is also within it. ”
After hearing what Wu Ling Dao said, Ding Hong could not help but sigh. However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat as he asked, “May I ask Immortal elder if I can use the Eight Visions of the Eight Trigrams to create this Sword Spirit Body?”
“Oh?” Wu Lingdao also started to ponder as he asked this question. After a while, he said, “No one has forged a sword like this before. Maybe you can try.”
Ding Hong suddenly rolled his eyes and asked, “Senior Immortal, can I…” He suddenly stopped talking and looked at Wu Ling.
Seeing his expression, Wu Lingdao did not react. Just as he was about to ask, a thought flashed through his mind. He laughed and said: “Don’t tell me you want to go out of Penglai City now to look for materials?”
With an embarrassed smile, Ding Hong said, “Immortal Elder, this is just a small matter. It’s just that, it’s just that you promised me that you would be able to study in the Immortal Heaven Pavilion for four years, and I only read for two years before leaving …” It means that I have to leave now, but the promised time is not up yet. I will come back in the future and continue reading. Of course, Ding Hong couldn’t just say it out so directly, so he found a euphemistic way.
So far, it was only Ding Hong who dared to bargain with him like this. He smiled, and suddenly took out a dark green long Xiao and a small gourd from the void and handed them to Ding Hong. He said, “If you want to go back to Penglai one day, you only need to blow the whistle on the sea. “This small gourd is the one you used to leave Penglai.”
Xiao? Ding Hong was stunned. He took the gourd and examined it a few times before putting it away. However, Na Xiao said in embarrassment, “But I don’t know how to blow this thing.”
Wu Ling said, “It can’t be learned. You probably haven’t read all the books in the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, but there’s already a lot of music theory books on the second floor.
Ding Hong suddenly felt that Wu Lingdao was laughing like an old fox.
Wu Lingdao ignored the helplessness on Ding Hong’s face and said, “It will only take a few days for you to learn to boast about him, but it will take some effort if you want to boast about him.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “But I’ll tell you in advance, if you can’t blow this Xiao, you will still not be able to find Penglai.”
When Ding Hong saw that Wu Lingdao had finished speaking, he respectfully saluted and said, “Many thanks, Immortal Elder. This little one will go and learn music theory now.” After that, Wu Lingdao nodded and he entered the Immortal Heaven Pavilion again.
After he entered the pavilion, Elder Ren appeared from the tree and frowned, “Why did you give him the Heavenly Jade Flute?”
Wu Lingdao looked at the Immortal Heaven Pavilion as if he was looking at Ding Hong through the Immortal Heaven Pavilion. After a while, he replied, “This child has great luck. In the future, his achievements will definitely surpass ours.” He turned his head to look at Elder Ren and said, “If we don’t use the Heavenly Jade Flute to suppress the demonic thoughts in his heart now, it will be difficult to predict in the future!” There was a bit of absent-mindedness in his eyes, as if he had remembered something.
Elder Ren was silent. After the two of them had waited for a long time, Elder Ren suddenly said, “That kid from the Dark Profound …”
Wu Lingdao’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. Even when he was fighting against the mysterious old man back then, it wasn’t as fierce as it was before. He said, “If he is determined, then we can’t let him live!”
Elder Ren sighed, raising his hand to look at it, then said slowly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve touched a sword.”
The wind blew from the cliff, lifting their clothes and their hair. The surroundings suddenly became cold. Even Ding Hong, who was reading in the tower, shivered for no reason.
What exactly did the Dark Profound Realm do? Why did this elder, Wu Ling Dao, say that he was not allowed to leave words behind? This was a mystery that no one could know.
Over the past few days of Ding Hong’s performance, some of the Penglai disciples had only heard the occasional sound of an extremely unpleasant yet strange flute blowing from the direction of the Immortal Heaven Pavilion. At the same time, there were a few other disciples who could not help but run over to their teachers to talk. The teachers and elders could only reply half-heartedly.
On this day, Ding Hong finally had a thorough understanding of music and science, but he still didn’t understand much about Xiao Qu who was good at boasting. He inwardly lamented how Wu Ling said he could study it in a few days’ time. After arriving outside the Immortal Heaven Pavilion, he bowed to Elder Ren before returning to the bamboo garden. He discovered that the old woman was still tidying up the medicinal herbs as usual. To tell the truth, Ding Hong, who had been living with the old woman for the past two years, was starting to get used to her.
