Chapter 7-I Picked the Herbs
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Remembering the martial arts novels he had read in his previous life, he found that as long as the hero fell under a cliff, he would meet something or someone extraordinary. Ding Hao always thought himself lucky, and today's scenario really resembled what he read. Therefore, he probably might find some weapons or secret swordsmanship books here.
However, there was nothing but a set of stone table and chairs.
He almost wanted to turn the entire place inside out to find the treasures he expected.
"I guess one has to be practical all the time. Too much greed is bad for you. I should feel lucky that I didn't get killed. And, the faint black liquid in the dent saved my life! It might be something. Only it's a shame that I can't take them."
Ding Hao heaved a sigh and stopped searching.
There was no water or food in the cave. It was time to go home.
He walked through the tunnel and reached the entrance of the cave.
It was a bottomless abyss down there.
He then looked around, and there was only swirling black mist and howling gale.
However, when he looked up, he could spot flickering stars hidden behind the black mist. He did not stay in the coma for too long because at least, it was still at night now.
Moreover, if he could see the stars, he must be near to the cliff where he fell off. He was highly likely to climb back to the ground safe and sound.
"That's strange. If I fell from the cliff, how did I enter the cave and bury myself in the fluid?"
Ding Hao could not quite figure this out.
By the entrance, he practiced the Eighth Setting-up Exercises twice and prepared his body for the climb. He carried his sword on the back, clung to the rock bumps on the wall, and started to climb up carefully.
Luckily, in his previous time, he took an interest in climbing and took some indoor classes. With the skills he had commanded, he climbed steadily.
Like a gecko, he stretched his legs and arms close to the wall and slowly ascended.
The gale roared behind his back, and the black mist was pulling him down. Ding Hao could be dragged into the abyss anytime.
It was really a dangerous climb.
With just a slip, he would be blown away by the gale, fall into the unfathomable abyss, and never return.
In addition, the gravity pulled him harder here above the normal range. He was like walking on ropes!
Climbing for about 20 meters upward, Ding Hao felt the kind of soreness that would bring him into fatigue. Nevertheless, he had to carry on. He clung to the rocks harder and kept his balance under the feet.
He was sweating like a cow.
Soon, Ding Hao was soaked in sweat. He breathed heavily to stay concentrated.
Having climbed for 20 meters more, Ding Hao was exhausted. He felt as if he was being stabbed all over his body and could not quite feel his arms.
Nevertheless, at that point in time, all of a sudden, a miracle happened—
He felt heat expanded from his dantian to his entire body like a stream, or a lover's toying hand over his entire body.
Then, suddenly, he could not feel the pain anymore.
Instead, he felt as if he had been refilled and was instantly more energetic than ever.
His physical strength had been doubled without any warning.
Assume he could deal 200 kilograms of damage before, now he could deal more than 500 kilograms.
Afterward, he was climbing much faster than before.
When he climbed for about 40 meters more, he was exhausted again, and something similar happened a second time.
He felt the heat in dantian, and then the heat expanded to his entire body.
New energy came in and got rid of his pain.
When it had happened for six times, Ding Hao was less than 100 meters away from the ground above.
At that time, he found streaks of flickering red lights on the bumps beside him.
"Well? That red lights... They are... I found the Dragon Heart Seedlings! I finally found it!"
He greatly rejoiced at his founding of the red plants.
Without hesitation, he approached carefully and picked the six ginseng-shaped red Dragon Heart Seedlings. Then, he rolled his clothes and wrapped them in.
It was really strange that six herbs actually grew in the three-centimeter-wide soil on the palm size bump. Nothing was too strange in the world!
Now that he had found the precious herbs, Ding Hao was more than excited.
Then, he took a rest and worked his way smoothly to the cliff and onto the ground.
"Well, finally. I've danced with Death, and I'll never be so reckless to do it again."
Ding Hao lay flat on his back and inhaled heavily. He might take too many risks this time that he was feeling scared even now. He decided that he would never act like this again.
However, during the climb, his body went through some weird changes. Not only was his physical power greatly strengthened, but also some oily filthy substance came from his pores with the sweat. Now, the substance solidified on his skin.
The phenomenon was very akin to the inner transformation from legends.
At that time, Ding Hao moved and the solidified substance fell from his skin, which now looked snow white and rather elastic.
Even, Ding Hao's entire aura had changed as if he had been an exiled immortal standing at the cliff. In the distance, the sky was turning grey.
...
A new day was coming.
The morning breeze swept over him. He was feeling pleasantly cool even behind his crotch.
Ding Hao looked down and could not help laughing. His clothes had been ripped to pieces, including his crotch. His cock was now swaying in the wind.
However, it was lucky that the six Dragon Heart Seedlings were still intact. He pressed the rolled clothes and held it tighter.
Then, he tidied up himself, covered the important part, and walked in the selected direction. He took the right path free from toxic air and swamps to the rim of the garbage stone forest. On the trails, he strode toward home.
"Gee? Why am I so fast?"
Ding Hao was surprised by his pace.
He was feeling energetic. When he took a step, he was three to four meter away the next second. As light as floating cotton, he felt as if he had learned the legendary lightness skill.
In the blink of an eye, he was by the fence of his yard.
...
The yard looked tranquil and beautiful against the rising sun.
However, Ding Hao frowned.
He smelled something dangerous.

Ding Hao pushed open the door and slowly walked in. At that time— Swoosh! Swoosh! Two shadows in the dark emerged without any warning behind the wooden door from both sides with forceful winds. They came fiercely and directly at the back of Ding Hao's head. They were two long black sticks. On the other ends of the long sticks were two sneering youths. They were Zhao Xingcheng's entourage last night. The black long sticks were hard like iron rods. They were wielding them against the back of Ding Hao's head with the force that could kill him. At that crucial moment, Ding Hao saw that by the door of the opposite thatch hut, the confident Zhao Xingcheng was sneering at him maliciously. Then, Ding Hao smiled too. At the next moment, Zhao Xingcheng's sneering turned into doubt, surprise, disbelief... and finally into shock. He saw it with his own eyes that the ambush he carefully set up did not work at all

Ding Hao's eyebrows twitched furiously. At that moment, he could not suppress the sense of extreme danger that crept up on him. Was this faint red light the so-called 'Dark Force'? "According to the memories I've absorbed, the human martial artists in in this world are able to control a supernatural force known as the Dark Force, and use this Dark Force to refine their 12 meridians and 108 acupoints… "The faint red light that appeared from his body earlier was probably the manifestation of the dark force. However, Song Jiannan's strength is just average. He probably would not even be able to last a second against a first aperture martial disciple so I've got nothing to be afraid of." Ding Hao thought quickly and soon figured out their individual strengths. "Little scum, today, I shall take your life," Song Jiannan said as his eyes sparked with killing desire. He had arrived like an esteemed emperor, not expect

At that moment, a ray of golden morning sun shone through the mountains and the fog, casting Ding Hao in its golden glow. This highlighted the lines of his muscles, his tall body and the sculpted features of his handsome face. He looked like a perfect piece of work sculpted by a master sect master. "Phew..." Ding Hao breathed out a breath of murky air and felt his whole body relax. He had not expected his comprehension ability to be so astounding. He had been able to mimic Song Jiannan's swordsmanship technique just after watching Song Jiannan display it. Not only that, he had managed to grasp this swordsmanship technique's nuance and essence in after just practicing three times. Ding Hao reckoned that although that encounter at the cave cliff stone cave had caused his body to undergo extraordinary changes, Song Jiannan was far too weak and his swordsmanship technique of a lower level, which was why he managed to mimic it so easily. If he
Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 11-"Qi Manipulating Skill"
It was rumored that extreme experts, who dominated their races, could move mountains and defeat millions of soldiers with a single strike like gods. Even lower level martial artists could become terrifyingly powerful by practicing magic skills. However, Ding Hao was of a low social status and not very bright, so he knew very little about cultivation. He only vagely remembered that martial artists were ranked from the lowest Apprentice Realm to Artist Realm, then Master, Grandmaster, and Genius Grandmaster. He could not remember what came after that. Generally speaking, the first step of cultivation was exercising one's physical strength to the extreme. Then, one could cultivate Qi manipulating magic skills by stimulating a "Magic Qi Seed" inside their dantian. An amorphous magic Qi would arise in the body and enter into the meridians. Unfortunately, Ding Hao had no instructions on how to stimulate his Magic Qi Seed. This was currently his
Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 12-Humans, Demons and the Snow Province
As for basic magic skills manuals that were peddled in the black market, mysterious remaining copies of original texts or those of high quality aside, as long as they were ordinary copies recorded manually, there would ordinarily not be any reason to suspect that they were fake. It was one of the unwritten rules of the trade. The Qi Guiding Formula was a method of the lowest level for practicing mystical skills. It was not even considered as mainstream but just an ordinary skill. As such, it could not be classified as either of the four major ranks - Divine, Heavenly, Earth or Human. Naturally, there was no risk of counterfeit copies of it existing in the market. Even if it were so, its price was also not cheap for ordinary folk. Ding Hao browsed through it once, and paid 500 taels of silver to buy the manual after discerning that there was nothing wrong with it. With this Qi Guiding Formula manual, coupled with his otherworldly understanding capability,
Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 13-The Twelve Meridians
"Qi, Qi is an incredible thing. The strength given off by the limitations of the physical body is an invisible force. It can crack steles of stones, move mountains and seas. It can defy the heavens and change fates; it can prolong life and make things appear out of nothingness... This incredible Qi, it attacks the 12 main meridians of the human body in order, and refine the acupoints. In that way, supreme power is produced and this is the foundation of a martial artist..." Ding Hao quickly became immersed in the contents of the book. So the humans on the Land of Infinity all had 12 meridians in their body. And within each meridian, there were nine main acupoints. Once martial artists activated the seed of Qi and grasped Qi, they could then use it to refine their physical body. The Qi would rush through their meridians and refined their acupoints. This was the most basic way of cultivation. The Martial Arts system had been perfected according to the evolut

Under the silvery white moonlight, a group of red sword light twinkled in and out of existence. They rolled back and forth, and the sword whistled. It was free and casual. Ding Hao's movement grew from slow to fast and then slowed down from rapid to extremely slow. He was immersed in a mysterious state. Four hours passed in the blink of an eye and the moon hung in the middle of the sky. Ding Hao's movement was so slow that it could not slow down any further. It was like the slow-motion in films but had a certain charm to it. If someone had been staring at the trajectory of the rusted sword by the side, they would definitely feel exhausted, dizzy and faint within moments. The power of the sword had far exceeded that of regular sword skills. What was even rarer was that Ding Hao did not sweat as profusely as before. Instead, he only had a few drops of fine, crystal clear sweat. "Whoosh!" Ding Hao kept his rusty sword an
Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 15-The Mysterious Young Man
Ding Hao could not help but secretly sigh. Based purely on appearance, this woman was indeed startling. However, her cold and arrogant expression looked like an unmelting ice glacier. Even her profile felt as if she held herself several thousand miles aloof from others. This made Ding Hao feel rather uncomfortable. This young woman had to be the handsome young man's cousin whom he referred to as Li Yi Ruo. There were two maidservants wearing light armor standing beside her. Their expressions were just as cold and stern. Ding Hao glanced at them casually and discovered that the horses that these people rode all had hair that was as black as ink. The horses were more than two meters tall and their four legs were strong and nimble, just like ferocious beasts. They were Dark Cloud Lion Beasts which were also called half-demon horses. It was said that they possessed a demonic bloodline. They could travel 5000 miles in the day and 1500 at night. They wer

Wisps of memory information suddenly appeared in his mind.Some scenes seemed to appear in his mind, constantly alternating.Ding Hao watched these scenes like a tourist.

Ding Tong punched out. An extremely strong dark force broke out at an extremely fast speed and hit Ding Hao in an instant.Feeling the horror of this energy, Ding Hao also looked gloomy, but it was impossible to avoid it.In the roar, drops of bright ruby blood burst out from his meridians. In an instant, Ding Hao became bloody and badly mutilated.Although the wounds were slowly healing, it was much slower than before."Without the original power, it will be much more difficult to deal with Ding Tong." Ding Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was not too afraid.The decision he had made before was to disperse his original power and fight against Ding Tong in the Mysterious Fighting Method, which had not yet been perfect.Only in this way could he defeat Ding Tong, but there was also a great risk in doing so. After all, his Mysterious Fighting Method had not yet been completed, and he had to di

Decades later, all the forces in the Heaven Path world realized that it was impossible to fight alone. Only by fighting closely together could they have a chance to survive.Therefore, as soon as Ding Chunqiu, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and Hua Mojian, the God Emperor of the God's Palace proposed an alliance, almost no one on the continent opposed it. All the high-level officials of all forces responded and joined the alliance.It was also through these wars that numerous powers were able to unite in a short period.While the alliance had the support of the other four paths, as well as the clans in the Primordial World, the dark forces were immediately forced to slow down.However, the strength of the dark forces was really shocking. Even if the alliance had so many forces, they were not as many as the dark forces. It could be seen that when Ding Tong was in the Primordial World, he used the dark spring to d

"Die!" Mu Tianyang snorted and rushed out like a white flowing shadow. He struck out with the long sword in his hand in the void, and a row of towering sword Qi shot out. It broke through the sky, penetrated the void, and pointed straight at the man who had just spoken."Attack!" Right at this moment, that man laughed coldly as he waved his palm repeatedly, and his companions made a move at the same time. Circle after circle of devilish light appeared and surged through space as they entered the space-time gate.The space-time gate gushed out with stronger dark power, turning into several streams of dark water. Under the guidance of those dark experts, they turned into a torrent and rushed over with great momentum.The black flood was filled with the power of destruction. All sorts of dark energy were mixed within it, and the amount of dark energy contained within it was utterly terrifying.Poof!The sword Qi en

At the same time, Ding Hao and Ding Tong turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.There, two figures were rapidly flying over. Behind them were many other figures.One of the two at the forefront was wearing a white robe. His hair was long and snow-white, and his whole body was snow-white. He was extremely handsome. As for the other one, he looked much more ordinary, but he had the temperament of a superior. As he stood there, all creatures could only look up to him."Mu Tianyang! Xuan Tianzong!"These two people were Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong, who were supposed to be in the Primordial World. Behind them were masters of the Nine Spirits Tribe, the Evil Yang Tribe, the Charm Tribe, and the Yu Tribe from the Primordial World.Ding Tong and Ding Hao did not expect that Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong would come here at this time. They were quite shocked for a while.It seemed that

The space-time gate opened, and the dark power from the Primordial World came in an endless stream.This news was not good news for God's Palace or even the continent.The wave-like dark creatures continuously surged over. They were so densely packed that it made one's scalp go numb."Hahaha, Ding Hao, without your resources, do you think the God's Palace can resist the attacks of my army?" Ding Tong laughed wildly, and his voice was full of pride."Damn it!" Ding Hao cursed in a low voice with a flash of cruelty in his eyes. Then, he turned into a stream of flowing light breaking through the void and rushing to the space-time gate, trying to destroy it.It was impossible to stop the dark creatures that had entered the six paths through the space-time gate. Now, he could only destroy the space-time gate to prevent more dark forces from pouring into this world.As soon as Ding Hao passed through the

Above the Ninth Heaven, the earth-shattering battle between Ding Hao and Ding Tong was still going on."Now, how can you stop me? I have refined the Heart of Heaven and Earth and am already invincible. I will rule the six paths, including this Planar Cosmos..." Ding Tong sneered and turned into a streak of demonic light, rushing to Ding Hao. The dark energy that could destroy the world turned into an endless windstorm and swept out.The space began to shake wildly and was cracked by the dark power. In the end, it turned into a whirlpool and surged forward wildly."You're too vicious. If you really become the dominator of this Planar Cosmos, I'm afraid that the world will plunge into misery from now on, and there will be no peace. Therefore, I won't give you the chance to achieve this!" Before his voice died away, Ding Hao had already rushed over. The light of the saber and the sword and the eternal rules of destruction were blooming wild

Boom!The flowing light all over the sky interwove for a while and finally dissipated."Hahaha, as I said, your move is useless against me!" Ding Tong laughed.Ding Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and his palms trembled violently. The saber and the sword returned to his hands. He ignored Ding Tong who was laughing and launched another attack.He was surrounded by Saber Light and Sword Light. For a moment, he seemed to have turned into the burning sun, dazzling.Suddenly, he waved the sword and the saber in his hands. The gold and silver lights twined around them. The Saber Intent and the Sword Intent broke out at the same time. Incredibly powerful energy suddenly burst out. The sword and saber in his hands seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, and their auras echoed with the world. The mighty body seemed to have infinite power and could destroy everything."Die!"

In merely a short period, the bronze mountains, which possessed an extremely strong defensive ability, were actually broken through without the slightest mishap.With this momentum, countless dark creatures flooded in like a flood breaking through a dam.They continued to rush to the second and harder defense, the White Silver Mountain Range.With roars, the dark army bombarded its target once again.Rumbling sounds rang out endlessly like thunder while heaven and earth shook.Thick black smoke rose into the sky like a long dragon swimming.
