Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 429 The Choice of the Heavenly Sound Valley

The Heavenly Sound Valley once had a glorious history, and it fell into decay in the last few hundred years. Nevertheless, with the foundation of having been a supreme sect in the past, it was still powerful. Both the Tranquility Academy and the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect wanted to bring it into their own camps, but they failed. Unexpectedly, that day...

Lo and behold, there were three treasures in the Heavenly Sound Valley, all of which had suffered heavy losses in the holy war and had fallen into a deep sleep. Since Ding Hao had revived the spirit of Piao Yao, a Chinese zither, the other two treasures—the Great Sage’s Voice, a Chinese flute and the Tian Que, an ancient bronze bell—might be revived as well.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sound Valley would definitely go to Ding Hao again.

With that chip, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was confident that the Heavenly Sound Valley would certainly join their side.

Tang Folei was happy to think of it. As a typical hawk in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, he was happy to see Ding Hao become an outside elder of the Heavenly Sound Valley.

Ding Hao expressed his thanks and took the Heavenly Sound Jade Card.

Li Wushuang set her beautiful eyes on Ding Hao tightly for a long time, so did the middle-aged beautiful woman, as if she couldn’t wait to swallow Ding Hao up. If Ding Hao wasn’t a disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, such a big sect, those two female fairies might have turned themselves into bandits instantly, to bring Ding Hao to the Heavenly Sound Valley forcibly.

His extraordinary ability to compose music made the Heavenly Sound Valley see the hope of a new rise.

“Young Master Ding, I hope you can come to our Heavenly Sound Valley to talk about temperament after the Grading Meeting, which will definitely be a good story. At that time, our Head will personally thank you for what you did today.” Before leaving, the middle-aged beautiful woman sent an invitation to Ding Hao.

“Haha, please rest assured, Elder Song. Junior Brother Ding will go.” Before Ding Hao said anything, Tang Folei agreed on behalf of him.

Ding Hao was speechless.

He felt like he would be sent to a tiger’s lair.

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled with a nod and said to Tang Folei, “Tanks, Chief Tang. Young Master Ding’s talent is amazing. The song he played with the Chinese zither just then was really a divine song. Our Head will go to the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Villa in person tonight to express his thanks.” It was obvious that the Heavenly Sound Valley had made a choice.

“That would be great.” Tang Folei was also overjoyed. He replied, “Head Li Jianyi will definitely await him.”

After a short chat, the two sides parted.

Far in the audience, a middle-aged expert representing the Tranquility Academy looked embarrassed with a fierce glare in his eyes. “This Ding Hao again”. He was really a disaster. Due to him, not only Jiang Disheng had lost one arm, but also the Tranquility Academy had to secretly make an extremely humiliating concession and pay a heavy price...

“Such a disaster must be removed as soon as possible...”

The middle-aged expert disappeared in a flash.

On the edge of the arena in the distance.

“Young Master Ding, thank you for what you gave us today.” Some rogue cultivators who had learned from the Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman also thanked Ding Hao.

That day’s visit was really not in vain.

The violence accumulated in the hearts of the martial artists had often left a psychological barrier that hindered them from comprehending a higher level of the Qi Realm. Without the help of an expert, the barrier was difficult to be removed. Ding Hao’s Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman, full of mysterious romantic charm, had aroused incredible power and cleared the psychological barrier in their hearts...

From that day on, those people would always appreciate Ding Hao.

Don’t look down on those nobodies. In many cases, the key point of turning the historical trajectory was not due to the heroes who oversaw the world, but some words or a choice made by those unknown...

......

Ding Hao left the arena. He had no more contests that day. Instead of going back to the tent in the square, he went directly back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Villa.

Sitting quietly in the practice room of the Strolling in the Moon Palace’s pavilion, Ding Hao chose to seclude himself for refining and began to digest everything.

He started looking squarely at a problem—

Chinese idioms, well-known ancient poems, Buddhist verses in myths and legends, and ancient musical instrument songs—those essences of spiritual and cultural wealth from the previous generations on earth, all had burst out incredible power in the Land of Infinity’s martial arts system. There might be many factors in this, such as the support of Ding Hao’s unfathomable Qi and the peculiar catalysis of the Invincible Fighting Method...

But that strange power connection still surprised Ding Hao.

Was there a connection between the earth and the Land of Infinity that had yet to be discovered by him?

After thinking about it for a long while, Ding Hao still couldn’t reach a reasonable conclusion.

“It seems that this mystery can only be slowly figured out later.” Ding Hao sighed. He tossed the mystery aside and began to race against time to cultivate.

That day’s Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman, just like the Moon Over a Fountain, moved his mental state considerably. He entered a state of extraordinary emptiness at that time. After the song, he found that his Body Oven Realm of the Mind Essential had been improved to the middle level.

“The higher my cultivation level of the Mind Essential is, the faster I can display the Chinese inscriptions. The more powerful they are, the more energy these ancient earth essences can be stimulated, the sharper the saber intent and sword intent are. Even my comprehension and seventh sense are improved. Now, I can see through the mystery of the martial arts below the Mid-Grade of the Earth Rank by observing them only once. As for the martial arts below the Heavenly Rank, even if I can’t see through them after observing them three times, I can still be invincible...”

He slowly exhaled a mouthful of foul air, while absorbed in thought.

“The Invincible Fighting Method is indeed a matchless martial art. It has such a mysterious power that even gods and spirits can’t predict it. Now, I haven’t yet realized 1% of its total power... The Grading Meeting of the sect this time is my chance. I have to watch all the skills carefully. No, in addition to my own duel, I should also watch the competitions of other people, especially the disciples of the Tranquility Academy, so that I can understand the essence of the nine major sects of Snow Province to the greatest extent...”

“Unfortunately, Mu Tianyang won’t participate in the competition of the younger generation, since he directly entered the group of elders and giants. I can’t see him display martial arts now...”

Ding Hao felt slightly regretful.

The competition that would be carried out publicly on the arena square was among the younger generations of the various sects. And the really fiercer duels between the older generations and experts would be held in the Heaven Battlefield above the endless sky, presided over by Ding Honglei, the inspector of the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost. Therefore, ordinary people couldn’t see it at all, neither could Ding Hao. He was unable to see Mu Tianyang, his old enemy, use his martial arts.

Otherwise, if he observed the Heaven Battlefield from the sidelines, maybe he could meditate the exercises and skills of that Child Prodigy in advance, so that he could be more confident in the battle of the Frozen Peak later.

After thinking for a while, Ding Hao began to cultivate.

To break bloodline with saber intent and sword intent had been proved correct in the battle with Jiang Disheng.

The real power of the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword was not in a bloodline. It could only protect Ding Hao’s body from being affected by the Blood Battle Body. Only the saber intent and sword intent could restrain the Blood Battle Body.

So in recent days, he extended his cultivation time in those two aspects. At the moment, his understanding of the saber intent and sword intent was far from complete, barely around 20% of the complete intent. Only until it reached more than 50% could he be sure to defeat Mu Tianyang’s rare Blood Battle Body.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the sun went down and the light outside was dim.

“Martial Uncle Ding, seniors of the Heavenly Sound Valley are here. The Head invited you to go there.” Huang Lei’s voice came from outside the door.

Ding Hao replied, about to go out, but suddenly remembered something.

He went back to the table, picked up his pen, carefully depicting the score of the Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman on a piece of paper made of hide. He dried the ink, and carefully collected it. After that was done, he finally turned around and walked out of the Strolling in the Moon Palace, heading for Li Jianyi’s main tent, his Head...

When he walked over several rockery pavilions, there suddenly came a crisp and pleasant sound of girls up front.

Taking a few steps forward, he saw a bright light. Among the flowers, Huang Rong, the rebellious girl, was leading a group of wonderful young girls to play, chase and enjoy flowers. In palace dresses, with smooth skins and extraordinary temperament, they all looked like outstanding fairies. Like naive butterflies, they shuttled through the flowers. However, they weren’t people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Mountain Villa.

Ding Hao saw Li Wushuang, a fairy of the Heaven Sound Valley, amid the crowd, and suddenly understood that those dozen beautiful girls were probably disciples of the Heavenly Sound Valley.

“Hey, there you are, buddy. You’re indeed a guy who ditches friends for a girl. You exited training immediately when you heard that the fairies of the Heavenly Sound Valley had arrived. Hum!” Huang Rong greeted Ding Hao with a smile.

“Hi, Senior Brother Ding!”

Ding Hao’s appearance lit up the eyes of the fairies of the Heavenly Sound Valley. They crowded around Ding Hao with smiles, as if they had seen a prey. Surrounded, Ding Hao suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance. It was the body fragrance of the girls, full of the most primitive temptation, which made Ding Hao dizzy, and his face couldn’t help blushing.

“Senior Brother Ding, I listened to the piece you played today...”

“Hee hee, I also listened to it. It’s really a holy song, so beautiful. If I were sister Wushuang who received such a holy song, I would be willing to die...”

“Senior Brother Ding, thank you for repairing the Piao Yao.”

“Hee hee, Senior Brother Ding, you blushed.”

Those girls of the Heavenly Sound Valley were really daring and alluring. They were very surprised to see the shy expression on Ding Hao’s face. Living in the Heavenly Sound Valley for a long time, they were aloof from the world, extroverted and simple minded. They thought that a genius like Ding Hao would be very cold and murderous. But unexpectedly, he looked bashful. So, they couldn’t help teasing him.

Ding Hao’s embarrassing look made Huang Rong laugh heartlessly.

“Enough. Don’t make any noise.” Li Wushuang stepped forward and stopped the mischief of her junior sisters.

Ding Hao felt like he had made a roll in a hundred flowers, covered with the girls’ colorful fragrance. Those girls were even more terrible than monsters and beasts. Were all the disciples in the Heavenly Sound Valley female? It was really a strange sect. Ding Hao took out the music score of the Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman and gave it to Li Wushuang.

The Heavenly Sound Valley had its own Ultimacy of musical skills, which could activate the power of the Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman. So, what Ding Hao handed out was just a simple score.

“Senior Brother Ding, I won’t forget your kindness.” Li Wushuang made a salute solemnly.

The other girls also turned serious and thanked him.

A more exquisite score could bring into play more power of the mental cultivation method from the Heavenly Sound Valley’s magic skills, making it the most powerful fighting skill. So, that score couldn’t be looked down upon. It would soon become the supreme fighting skill. With the Questions and Answers of a Fisherman and a Woodman, such a holy song, the strength of the Heavenly Sound Valley would be improved by a level.

While they were talking, some footsteps came from afar.

It was Head Li Jianyi and some other people of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who accompanied the Head and other people of the Heavenly Sound Valley walking over, laughing and talking.
