Chapter 108 The Man He Used to Know
In the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
Ding Hao returned here alone.
âSo, the place mentioned by Tian Yuanzi is not the sea of consciousness of the Creator of All Things that you are looking for?â After a few words with Ding Hao, Ding Chunqiu learned what had happened.
Ding Hao nodded. He had thought that the place was very likely to have the sea of consciousness of the brain of the Creator of All Things, but when he entered it, he found that it was just a small meteorite. Although it had strange energy and was hard, and it was also a rare piece of Jade in Stone, it was not what he was looking for.
Ding Hao was a little disappointed, but he had no choice. After throwing the meteorite to Tian Yuanzi as a reward, he could only go back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and listen to other martial artists who came to report.
Ding Chunqiu was also a little regretful, but he didnât say anything more. He directly called his disciple to call another martial artist who came to report.
Led by the disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, one martial artist after another went in and out of the Swordsmanship-seeking Peak for the same purpose, which was to meet their idol.
Some of them came from powerful forces, some came from the Demon Clan, some from the Sea Clan, and some from even the Beast Clan. Although they presented all kinds of information or took all kinds of strange things in the world, none of them were what Ding Hao wanted.
The things those experts had found or known were not what Imperator Ding wanted, so they looked even more disappointed than Ding Hao.
They really wanted to know what Ding Hao was looking for, but he did not mention it, so they did not dare to ask more. They could only continue to use their own forces to make inquiries.
âAgain, itâs not what Iâm looking forâŠâ After sending away another regretful martial artist this day, Ding Hao looked a little depressed, and he was also quite anxious and disappointed.
It had been two months since he started meeting those martial artists. Even Ding Hao didnât know how many martial artists he had met, and he still could not find any strange thing he wanted.
Ding Chunqiu also knew that his father was anxious, but he had no way to help Ding Hao solve his problem. He could only sigh secretly.
In fact, Ding Chunqiu had used the power of the sect to help Ding Hao search a month ago, but the news he got was not satisfactory.
âFather, itâs getting late. Why donât we receive the visitors tomorrowâŠâ Just as Ding Chunqiu was talking, a disciple suddenly ran in and reported, âHighest Elder, Sect Leader, and all the elders, Kun Yu, the Highest Elder of the Divine Sword Sect, is here to meet you.â
âThe Highest Elder of the Divine Sword Sect?
Ding Hao in the seat of honor suddenly looked thoughtful. He had some impression of the name and was thinking about this personâs information.
âWhy is it him againâŠâ Ding Chunqiu frowned.
In the hall, one of the elders shouted, âDidnât I ask you to tell him that his so-called strange thing is not the information that the Highest Elder needs? Why did you help him send the message?â
âWellâŠâ The disciple looked embarrassed and replied, âI have told him, but he has been pleading with me, saying that he must see the Highest Elder. He also said that if the Highest Elder does not want to see him this time, he will not give up and will come here every day after. Seeing that he is so persistent, and I have no way to drive him away, I can onlyâŠâ
That elder waved his hand and said, âSo what if he comes here every day? His so-called strange thing is simply ridiculous. The Highest Elder will not see him at all. Tell him to go backâŠâ
Finally, Ding Hao remembered.
âKun Yu was the culprit who caught Tianshuang and Woxing together with the head of the Divine Sword Sect and wanted to make them an invincible War God. If I hadnât taken action in the Divine Sword Sect and rescued Tianshuang and Woxing, they would probably have been hurt by thenâŠ
âWhy did he come here? And why do Chunqiu and others in the sect have such strange expressions? According to their characters, even if Kun Yu had done such evil things in the past, they would not treat him like this as long as he was helping me.
âCould it be that the strange thing he mentioned is truly absurd?â
While Ding Hao was thinking, an elder in the hall had already called the disciple to let him drive Kun Yu away.
When the disciple was about to leave, Ding Hao thought for a moment and suddenly said, âWait.â
Then, he looked at Ding Chunqiu and the other elders and asked, âWhen did Kun Yu come here? Whatâs the strange thing he wants to tell me that makes you like this?â
Ding Chunqiu replied, âKun Yu, the elder of the Divine Sword Sect, was here a few days ago. As for why Elder Lin and the others treat him like this, itâs because the strange thing he wants to tell youâŠâ
Speaking of this, Ding Chunqiu seemed to look a little strange. âWhat the Highest Elder of the Divine Sword Sect wants to say did not happen in reality, but just a dream that he keeps dreaming.â
âA dream?â Ding Hao was stunned. He did not expect that the strange thing that Kun Yu wanted to tell him would be like this.
âYes. According to him, he has had this dream for a long time. It seems that he has been dreaming the same dream for thousands of years,â Ding Chunqiu replied.
âHe has been dreaming the same dream for thousands of years?
âThis is indeed a little strange!â
Ding Hao asked in surprise, âWhat kind of dream is it?â
âYou donât need to be bothered with that man, Highest Elder. Even if a dream has been going on for thousands of years, itâs just a dream. Whatâs more, a giant turning into everything in the world during the Primordial Chaos is simply nonsense. Highest Elder, youâd better not see that manâŠâ
Before Elder Lin could finish his words, he saw that Ding Hao looked a little strange. âA giant turned into everything in the world during the Primordial Chaos?â
âYes!â Ding Chunqiu replied, âHe said that there seemed to be a giant in the chaos, who then used the energy like that of a Celestial God to split the chaos and finally died of exhaustion, turning into everything in the world. There seemed to be several other dreams. I didnât listen carefully at that timeâŠâ
Ding Hao was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Then, under the surprised gazes of Ding Chunqiu and the other elders, Ding Hao said, âLet him in.â
âYes, Highest Elder!â The disciple was stunned for a moment. He then nodded and left.
âHighest Elder, do you really want to see him? But his strange thing is indeed quite ridiculousâŠâ Several elders were also stunned. Elder Lin was even more surprised, but before he could finish, he saw Ding Hao waving his hand and he could only stop talking.
Ding Chunqiu did not ask any more questions. As a son, he couldnât question what his father did. Moreover, his father must have his own reasons for doing so. Maybe Kun Yu could help his father, although he did not quite believe it.
Soon, Kun Yu came to the hall with a look of surprise and nervousness.
Ding Hao looked at Kun Yu, who could be regarded as an acquaintance.
After so many years, Kun Yu had changed a lot and no longer looked like a child with gray hair. At the moment, his wrinkles were deeper, his face was full of age spots, and his body was thinner. What attracted Ding Haoâs greater attention was that Kun Yuâs left arm was gone. Maybe it had been cut off from his shoulder in some previous battles.
âGreetings to Imperator Ding and Sect Leader Ding by Kun Yu!â Kun Yu noticed that Ding Hao still looked young, and there were some complicated emotions in his eyes. He sighed slightly inwardly before bowing to Ding Hao and Ding Chunqiu deeply.
He had very high status in the Divine Sword Sect, but in the face of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and Ding Hao, he was insignificant. It was reasonable for him to salute Ding Hao and his son.
It was just that his body was trembling when he saluted as if he could be pushed down by a gentle touch. Although Ding Hao did not have a good impression of him, he could not bear to see him like this. With a wave of his hand, Ding Hao lifted Kun Yuâs body and gently made him sit on one of the chairs.
âElder Kun, you donât have to be so courteous. You may talk while seated,â Ding Hao said lightly.
âWhat⊠Thank you very much, Imperator Ding.â Seeing Ding Hao like this, Kun Yu felt that Ding Hao was not only generous but also ungrateful. If he and the head of the Divine Sword Sect had known that he could have such achievements, they would not have done such a rebellious thing.
Unfortunately, there were no âifsâ in the world. Now Kun Yu could only hope that the thing that had troubled him for many years could matter to the powerful figure in front of him, who would then spare the Divine Sword Sect and make it no longer the current embarrassment.
Ding Hao looked at him and said, âElder Kun, you may tell me about your strange thing now.â
âOkay.â Kun Yu nodded and said, âIn fact, I started having this dream thousands of years ago when I advanced to being a Great Grandmaster. At first, I didnât pay much attention to it and just thought it was a dream. But in the following days, I kept having this dream, and as long as I fell asleep, I would definitely have this dreamâŠ
âIn this dream, Iâm like a passerby. I can only watch these scenes quietly. I have no ability to move at all, and I canât even wake up in the middle of the dream. Every night, I can only wake up after my dreams are completed. Once, I even woke up at noonâŠâ
Ding Hao listened patiently.
The elders of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect did not know what Ding Hao was thinking, but since the Highest Elder did not speak, they would not interrupt Kun Yu.
Kun Yu sighed somewhat emotionally as he said, âThere is more than one scene in my dream. There are five scenes in total, each of which is quite amazing and pretty real. It does not make me feel that it is just a dream at all. It seems to be happening in front of me graduallyâŠâ
âIt seems that this dream is really strange. No wonder you came to see me, Elder Kun.â Ding Hao talked to Kun Yu like they were old friends.
âYes, otherwise, I wouldnât have come here as soon as you spread the news, Imperator Ding. I came here this time to see if I could help you and ask you to help solve the problem that has been troubling me for many yearsâŠâ Kun Yu gradually relaxed when he heard Ding Hao speak gently.
âIn that case, Elder Kun, tell me what this dream is likeâŠâ Ding Hao said with a smile.
Seeing his father like this, Ding Chunqiu had a strange look in his eyes. As the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and the younger brother of Ding Tianshuang, he naturally knew what had happened between Ding Hao and the Divine Sword Sect, but he soon thought of the reason why Ding Hao did this as he suddenly thought of what his father had said, which was related to the first scene of Kun Yuâs dream.
In the main hall, Ding Hao and Kun Yu were talking to each other. Finally, they talked about the most important thing â Kun Yuâs dream.
