Chapter 72 Clues

Evil Moon came to Ding Hao. Following his gaze, it looked at the scroll and listened to his explanation quietly.

…

It turned out that the so-called Heart of Heaven and Earth was really a heart.

This was different from what Ding Hao had imagined before. He had thought that the Heart of Heaven and Earth would be some kind of natural treasure, but the reality was completely different.

In the scroll, there was a picture of the Heart of Heaven and Earth, which was a lifelike beating heart dripping with blood.

This heart was also different from the hearts of ordinary people. The difference was that by the left atrium, there were fine golden lines, and by the right atrium, there were silver lines. However, these were not what Ding Hao paid the most attention to or surprised him the most.

What surprised him was a sentence recorded within the scroll – the one who acquired this heart would be able to dominate the entire Planar Cosmos.

“Oh, my god. The Heart of Heaven and Earth is amazing. With it, one can dominate the whole Planar Cosmos… Meow. I’ve decided that I must get this Heart of Heaven and Earth. As long as I get this heart and become the sovereign, I will do whatever I want in the universe. Haha, don’t you think so, Ding Hao… ” After listening to Ding Hao, Evil Moon was shocked for a while and then began to daydream.

Ding Hao was not in the mood to pay attention to Evil Moon. At this moment, he was troubled by some questions.

“It’s amazing that one can dominate the entire Planar Cosmos with just a heart. Is the power contained in it really so terrifying?

“Regardless this information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth is true or not for the time being, but since it is a heart, it is very likely that the Heart of Heaven and Earth belongs to some kind of living creature. But who did it belong to? Who would have such power?

“What’s more, since the heart has such power, why did it break away and become the Heart of Heaven and Earth instead? And whether its horrifying owner is alive or not?”

Ding Hao was shocked and full of doubts, but soon his eyes flashed with light as if he had thought of something. “The Primordial World is a head, and the Heart of Heaven and Earth is a heart. Is the Heart of Heaven and Earth the heart of this Huge Head Planet when it was alive? Where is its body? Is it somewhere in the universe, or has it been destroyed?

“If that’s the case, then what kind of terrifying existence would this man be when he was alive? Could he be a real immortal? But now that such a terrifying being has died here, how terrifying would the one who killed him be?” Ding Hao became more and more confused, and the doubts in his heart increased.

Originally, Ding Hao wanted to continue to read, but unfortunately, in this scroll, the description of the Heart of Heaven and Earth ended there. When Ding Hao sighed secretly, a part of the scroll suddenly attracted his attention, and he saw some numbers at the end of the scroll.

“Could it be that this scroll is not the only one? Could it be that there are other scrolls?

“Yes, there must be other scrolls. Otherwise, why would there be numbers at the end of this scroll? And those scrolls must describe the other parts of this horrifying creature!” After thinking about it, Ding Hao put away the scroll, explained it to Evil Moon, and continued to search.

After hearing what Ding Hao said, Evil Moon’s eyes immediately lit up as it continued to look for other scrolls with Ding Hao.

Another few days passed. action

The man and the cat were searching for other scrolls day and night. But this time, they did not find any other relevant scrolls here.

The man and the cat didn’t stop until they finished reading the last ancient book.

“Phew, Phew, I’m so tired…” Evil Moon complained again.

Ding Hao also felt a little pity, but he had no choice but to leave.

Out of the palace, Evil Moon was lying steadily on Ding Hao’s shoulder with its eyes closed. It asked Ding Hao, “Ding Hao, what should we do now?”

Ding Hao thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s go and ask Rong Fu and the others first to see if they know anything about this scroll. Maybe we can learn something from them.”

“Well, I’m relieved that you have a good plan. Let’s go.” Evil Moon spoke like an elder.

Ding Hao was speechless.

…

…

After Rong Fu became the patriarch, he would no longer live in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Even all the members of the Crown Prince’s Mansion had moved into the Palace.

After asking several men dressed as young eunuchs, Ding Hao followed one of them to a magnificent palace.

“Your Excellency!” Just now, when they arrived at the gate of the palace, dozens of imperial guards on patrol immediately straightened their backs and bowed deeply to Ding Hao with respect when they saw him. Ding Hao’s deeds had already spread all over the Nine Spirits Tribe. Maybe only in the remote areas of the Spirit Region could one not hear about Ding Hao.

The entire Nine Spirits Tribe was also very grateful to Ding Hao. Those who had witnessed what he could do before also admired him very much. These powerful and arrogant imperial guards were no exception.

Ding Hao waved his hand. Just as he was about to enter the palace with the young eunuch, Evil Moon got a little dissatisfied. “Meow. You only saluted Ding Hao. Can’t you see that I am also here? I’ve made a lot of contributions in that battle. Shouldn’t you salute me?” After these imperial guards also saluted it respectfully, Evil Moon stopped complaining and went into the palace with Ding Hao together.

The palace was not big, but it was resplendent and inlaid with gold and jade. It was extremely luxurious. It was the place where the patriarchs of the Nine Spirits Tribe read the memorials for generations.

At this moment, in addition to Rong Fu, the patriarch, there was Wusun Liuce, who had been promoted to Prime Minister, in front of the table made of high-quality copper wood. He seemed to be reporting some things in the court.

“Brother Ding, you’re here!” When they saw Ding Hao coming in, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him enthusiastically.

After the young eunuch left, Rong Fu, who had put on the dragon robe, led Ding Hao to his seat with great enthusiasm. Then, he said with a smile, “Brother Ding, how did the search go? Have you found that ancient book?”

“I found it.” Ding Hao smiled and nodded. He took out the scroll and placed it in front of them.

“That’s good…” Rong Fu looked at the scroll. He did not open it and returned it to Ding Hao. After the courtesy, Ding Hao went straight to the point. “Actually, I came here to ask you one more thing, Patriarch Rong. Do you know if there are any other scrolls besides this one?”

“Other scrolls?” Rong Fu shook his head and looked at Wusun Liuce, but the latter shook his head as well. He then said, “I don’t know much about this scroll. Maybe my father would know…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice sounded from outside the hall. “Fu, what do you think I would know? Hahaha, Benefactor Ding, you are indeed here.” As soon as he finished his words, Emperor Emeritus Rong Zun, who had almost recovered, walked in with vigorous strides.

“Father!”

“Your Majesty Emperor Emeritus!”

Rong Fu and Wusun Liuce immediately stood up and saluted when they saw Rong Zun. Ding Hao also nodded at him and said with a smile, “Just call me Ding Hao.”

“Okay, then I’ll call you brother although you look much younger than me. I’ll call you Brother Ding, hahaha…” Rong Zun was obviously very straightforward and unpretentious. Then, he looked directly at his eldest son, Rong Fu, and said with a smile, “Fu, then you’ll have to call Brother Ding uncle from now on!”

Rong Fu did not feel embarrassed when he heard what Rong Fu said. Instead, he also directly carried out the etiquette of a junior and called Ding Hao “Uncle Ding”. In his opinion, it did not matter whether they were of the same generation or not, as long as he could build a relationship with Ding Hao.

Moreover, Ding Hao looked young, but his cultivation was powerful, and he must be much older than Rong Fu. It was reasonable for him to call Ding Hao uncle.

Ding Hao did not care about the address and did not have much opinion on it.

Rong Zun chuckled and thought of something. He looked at Rong Fu and asked, “Fu, did you just say that I would know something?”

“Well, Uncle Ding wants to ask if there are any other scrolls related to this scroll…” Rong Fu replied.

Ding Hao took out the scroll again and handed it to Rong Zun.

“It’s this scroll. I remember that it seemed to be…” Rong Zun read the scroll and then gave it back to Ding Hao. After thinking for a while, he remembered it and continued, “This scroll is from the Ancient Era. It was stored in the royal library of the Nine Spirits Tribe a long time ago…”

When Ding Hao and Evil Moon heard that, they couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. Then, Rong Zun said, “It’s just that this scroll was not of much value, so it was placed among those miscellaneous items. It’s also because it has been passed down by our ancestors, so it’s not lost. There are some ancient rumors that it’s very likely that the other relevant scrolls are possessed by the other nine major tribes…”

When Evil Moon found this scroll before, it was indeed found among some miscellaneous items. Otherwise, Evil Moon would not have thrown it without looking at it. Unexpectedly, this was the scroll they had been looking for.

“Ancient rumors? The other nine major tribes…” Ding Hao seemed to be thinking about something.

“Brother Rong, thank you very much!” After a while, Ding Hao got up and thanked Rong Zun.

Just now, after reading the information about the Heart of Heaven and Earth described in the scroll, Rong Zun could still tell Ding Hao the whereabouts of the other scrolls so frankly. He was indeed worthy of Ding Hao’s gratitude.

Rong Zun laughed and said frankly, “Brother Ding, you are the benefactor of our Nine Spirits Tribe. What’s more, you are now my son’s uncle. You don’t need to thank me. If you need any help, just tell us. We will do whatever we can to help you…”

Ding Hao couldn’t help but smile. Rong Zun had a square face and a pair of tiger eyes. Ding Hao had thought that he would be a dignified and reticent person, but he didn’t expect him to be so straightforward.

As a matter of fact, Ding Hao did need their help with something. Since Rong Zun had said so, Ding Hao would not stand on ceremony. He immediately said, “Brother Rong, I do have something to trouble you with. I hope to see Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai of the Evil Yang Tribe…”

“Is that what you need? No problem!” Rong Zun agreed without any hesitation.

Since his father had agreed, Rong Fu would not have any objections. Moreover, it was Ding Hao who caught Xing Mo and Pei Qi’ai. Without saying anything more, Rong Fu immediately ordered a young eunuch to lead Ding Hao to the Sky-reaching Dungeons.
