Chapter 435: Distributing Places on the Battlefield

Finally, the news that Sage Battlefield had opened spread wildly in Snow Province.

It was definitely a thing more awesome than a Grading Meeting of a sect. Since God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region had got in charge of the Northern Region and suppressed the luck of the Human Tribe, in million years, Sage Battlefield had only opened for few times. Every time it opened, it was a super big event that shocked dozens of provinces in the Northern Region. When one thought about the domineering powerhouses on their lands in the Northern Region, they would find all those masters had made it out alive on Sage Battlefield.

Sage Battlefield!

The sage in Sage Battlefield meant that every expert that came out of the battlefield would eventually become a sage. In numerous years, more than 100 Martial Sage experts had come into being on the battlefield.

At that time, no matter they were the nine sects, large Demon Tribes, or other opposing forces that were relatively weaker, they all became crazy about it.

In the Northern Region, the Demon Tribe force on par with the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost was called Flaming Mountain. It was situated in a mysterious place where Demon Gods cultivating themselves. The place was shrouded in North Underworld Heaven Fire all the time and was a deserted land. The mountains there expanded for thousands of li but no plants could be seen. The burning fire had been flaming for thousands of years. It was said that without a Demon God’s token, anyone would evaporate into a wisp of smoke in an instant even if they were a Demon Royal.

The places were limited for people who wanted to enter Sage Battlefield.

According to the previous practices, every time Sage Battlefield opened, the top Human Tribe and Demon Tribe forces in Northern Region would reach an agreement, respectively allocating places for their people to enter the battlefield. Since Human Tribes were weaker on the whole, in the allocation process, they would receive a lot fewer places on the battlefield. It was rumored that this time, Human Tribes got 3,000 places while Demon Tribes earned 7,000…

Among dozens of provinces in Northern Region, Snow Province only earned 76 places, which showed that in the large Northern Region, Snow Province was really a small force. Situated at the edge of the land, it got mostly barren fields and deserted lands, moreover, in more than half of the days in a year, it was covered under ice and snow. Snow Province did not have abundant produce and Spiritual Qi there was limited. Thus, it had a poor cultivation condition. In fact, among the dozens of provinces in the Northern Region, it was the weakest Human Tribe. The so-called nine sects in Snow Province, compared with those in provinces with futile lands, nearly failed to match a third-rate sect there.

It was only more than half a month to Sage Battlefield’s opening. Snow Province was tens of thousands of li from Green Province. On the way, there were many deep mountains and dangerous rivers, and many terrifying creatures dwelled. If they were under the Martial Emperor level, it would be impossible for them to take the road there. They could only be transmitted through the space gate.

The process would take five to six days.

Time, for anyone, was very limited.

On the early morning next day, Ding Hao and his men set off by Mirror Lake and headed to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect at the fastest speed.

Before leaving, Ding Hao gifted Huang Rong more Nether Yin Wine. The Swordsmanship-seeking Villa disciple Huang Lei, who had followed Ding Hao these days, also got a few benefits. Because he had praised Ding Hao a few times, he was quickly elevated in Swordsmanship-seeking Villa. It so happened that his surname was Huang too. The manager Huang Xiong directly took him as an inner disciple, which made countless other disciples envy.

Everyone endured the hardships of living in the open. On the way, they almost did not stop and accelerated to head to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

One day later, Ding Hao returned to Sword-hidden Peak.

At that time, an ecstatic atmosphere filled every corner of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Breakthrough during the sect Grading Meeting made every disciple very proud and excited. It would not only glorify their names but also turn into actual benefits. Once Swordsmanship-seeking Sect obtained a large number of cultivation resources from the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost, after they were fairly allocated, everyone—even if they were an outer or nominal disciple—would benefit from it.

Moreover, after becoming the top one sect in Snow Province, Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had seen disciples from other sects calling its disciples Senior Brothers during journeys. In the past, only the Tranquility Academy disciples got to enjoy the treatment.

In a word, after that, everyone in Swordsmanship-seeking Sect felt they finally got what they deserved.

About what happened by Mirror Lake, every day, people would transmit messages about it back to the sect thousands of li away. Therefore, people in the sect had long known what had happened during the past days which lasted more than half a month. Ding Hao was no doubt the biggest star, popular among numerous people. Even Yin Yifei, Lu Qi, and others, who used to bear grievances toward Ding Hao, at that time, had to drop everything down in their hearts. They knew, from then on, they would no longer be in the same world with Ding Hao; they wouldn’t be qualified to challenge Ding Hao anymore…

However, Li Jianyi and other sect leaders obviously were not in the mood for celebrating.

Sage Battlefield’s opening had changed everything. All the celebration sessions, even the ceremonies where they worshipped the past ancestors, were temporarily delayed. All the First Elders from Six Peaks and Six Bases and even from the inner and outer branches were invited to discuss matters in the head’s main hall once they returned to the sect. The main hall was lit through the night. From the evening to the next morning, the excited elders did not even rest. Then, they again discussed it until the next evening…

Other than the young masters who were already in the Hidden Genius List, Swordsmanship-seeking Sect earned four out of the 20 places, Tranquility Academy got three, and the other nine sects and some Human Tribe forces with relatively strong strength shared the rest 13 places. Now, what Swordsmanship-seeking Sect leaders should do was give the four places to the most potential disciples in the sect for them to change their destinies…

They must be very careful throughout the process.

According to the rules issued by the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost tens of thousands of years ago, only potential and young masters under 50 could get the chances to enter Sage Battlefield.

It was for the best when they wanted to dig out more backup supports for Human Tribes, because only young people had the most potentials. Those superiors of the last generation had nearly developed all their skills. Even if they came back alive from Sage Battlefield, because of their ages and potentials, they would not benefit Human Tribes’ general strength growth much…

Every place was extremely precious.

Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had to select carefully. If the chosen disciples were weak, they might directly die on the battlefield without a chance to come back alive.

During the discussion, someone laid their eyes on the six places Ding Hao earned.

Li Jianyi immediately vetoed. “Her Excellency Ding Honglei, the inspector, personally gave those places to Junior Brother Ding for him to use freely. If someone thinks they can ignore Her Excellency Ding Honglei’s opinion, then they can allocate the six places at will.”

Instantly, all the people fell silent.

What a joke! Going against the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost inspector was definitely like a centenarian eating arsenic—they simply did not want to live anymore.

…

Ding Hao did not join the discussion in the head’s main hall.

He had to increase his strength at every second so he would improve himself before entering Sage Battlefield. In time, it would increase the chance of him surviving. Moreover, even if he ran into natural treasures, it would be more likely for him to obtain them.

Of course, how to allocate the six places was also a problem that he needed to solve as soon as possible.

He had already give one to the head, Senior Brother Li Jianyi, and there were five left.

Immediately, Ding Hao thought of the hunter youth, Zhang Xiaofan, whose whereabouts he failed to know.

For the hunter youth with average aptitude, it might be a chance to change his fate. If it was in the past, Ding Hao might not give him the place. However, now, having practiced Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors, he should improve a lot in strength and have a shot at fighting on Sage Battlefield…

Therefore, actually, before returning to Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, by Mirror Lake, Ding Hao already had Fat Cat Evil Moon carry a token and go to find Zhang Xiaofan in Baiman Mountain. Since their departure on that day, Ding Hao did not hear from Zhang Xiaofan again. He did not know where the youth went either. After growing wings, Fat Cat Evil Moon was really fast. Five days was enough for it to circle around the entire Snow Province. He wished that it could lead him to Zhang Xiaofan!

If it really could not find the youth…

Ding Hao did not regret it a bit. “Then I’ll waste the place for him.” He saved the spot for the hunter youth even if he was going to waste it.

After that, there were four left.

Fang Tianyi should naturally get one, then Zhong Dajun? No, the idiot was just a lazybones at the peak of Martial Disciple Realm even now. He did not like learning martial arts at all; it would be a waste to give the place to him. After entering Sage Battlefield, probably an ant could easily finish him…

Li Yunqi did not have strength strong enough and his luck was ordinary as well. If he went to the Sage Battlefield, he probably did not have a chance of surviving.

Li Muyun, Liang Feixue, and others were just acquaintances. Furthermore, from back then, Ding Hao had suspected Li Muyun. After some thought, Ding Hao vetoed the idea. Moreover, the two might get places from the sect…

Li Canyang and Xiao Chengxuan were close like sworn brothers and Ding Hao could consider giving them places too. However, he did not know for sure what kind of strength they possessed now. If under the Great Martial Mentor realm, they could only miss the opportunity this time. With a low level of strength, they would only get killed once there!

Then, there was Li Yiruo.

Ding Hao planned to make time to meet the beautiful girl at Water Sword Peak.

It was the candidate that he pondered on for the longest time. On the one hand, deep down, as a man, Ding Hao hoped that Li Yiruo could stay safely at Swordsmanship-seeking Sect cultivating herself. He did not want her to take risks in the hardships of the outside world. On the other hand, Li Yiruo was also a warrior and dreamed of becoming a superior too. The opportunity was very rare for her. Now, if the pepper girl was strong enough, she should enter Sage Battlefield…

Then, there were also Lin Xin, Lyu Kuang, Ren Xiaoyao…

Thinking about Ren Xiaoyao, Ding Hao was considering if he could give a place to that fat boy with incredible luck. Thinking about the adventures the boy had at the antique sect ruins in Western Rock Mountain Range, Ding Hao couldn’t help exclaiming. “The guy is peculiar. If he’s with me, we probably can also run into some amazing adventure while enjoying hot pots and singing songs on the way. And we may come out alive simply after a few days’ sleep…”

After the calculation, he found he was a little short of places.

In the evening, Ding Hao was about to visit his old friends. However, at that time, Peak Master Luo of Water Sword Peak came and was outside Sword-hidden Peak…

…

Ding Hao realized in his heart. “I’m afraid she came for some places on the battlefield.”

As long as Peak Master Luo asked, Ding Hao would undoubtedly give them to her. Help in one’s hour of need was better than icing on the cake. Back then, before Ding Hao made a name for himself, no matter during the joint trials between six palaces or on other occasions, Peak Master Luo would always support Ding Hao. Moreover, just the single drop of Baleful Devil White Ape’s blood essence was worth a place on the battlefield.

Ding Hao opened the side door “Water Curtain Heaven” of Sword-hidden Peak and led Peak Master Luo in. After exchanging greetings, as expected, Peak Master Luo cut to the chase and requested. “Ding Hao, can you lend me two places?”
