Chapter 466: The Way of the Divine Emperor

Saber Master made fun of him mercilessly and said, “Boy, in fact, what you’re really concerned with is the last question.”

Ding Hao blushed with shame and denied righteously, “How could that be? Both things are very important. You and senior sister Ximen are all my most important relatives.”

“I didn’t expect that you would also learn how to flatter others. You learned something bad…” Sword Master expressed his disdain and immediately added, “However, for the sake of what you said, let’s talk about the last part first. What you care most about right now is definitely the safety of your young lover. Well, it’s not impossible to solve a fake death problem, but your lover got into coma because she ran out of her mind. If you want her to revive, you have to make her mind revive first. Just a ‘Lingxi Heart Pill’ can do that.”

Ding Hao was stunned and asked, “Is it that simple?”

Saber Master burst into laughter and said, “Don’t believe that old bastard, he tricked you. Do you really think it’s so easy to refine the ‘Lingxi Heart Pill’? Aside from being a King’s class pill which is of a high-rank and has a strict demand on pharmacists, the raw materials required would daunt lots of elixir pharmacists…”

Then Saber Master listed the herbs to refine the “Lingxi Heart Pill.”

“Sacred orchid, Holy Tear Scindapsus aureus, Yaoyao True Tree, the Ninth Emperor’s Heart-protecting Bamboo Shoots, and the Ancient Turtle-Back-like Ganoderma…”

Although Ding Hao braced for it, he was still shocked by those names.

Ding Hao had been forced to recite a lot of herbal names and their properties by the two old monsters. He was very familiar with those things. The names mentioned by Saber Master just then were all extremely rare herbs. Not to mention other herbs, the last one called Turtle-Back-like Ganoderma was rarely seen by common people, let alone ancient ones. At least in Snow Province, none of the sects could collect that many rare divine herbs.

“Crazy woman, you’re really ignorant, “Sword Master proudly said, “It’s not easy to find them in normal days, but where are we now? In the Sage Battlefield! This is a natural medicine garden. It should be effortless to find them.”

Saber Master suddenly held her breath.

Ding Hao’s eyes lit up. “I really care about it so much that I’m confused,” He thought.

That’s right. In the Sage Battlefield, the least lacking were divine and spiritual herbs. They were usually kept for tens of millions of years, and their essence was intact. For example, Tianxin orchids preferred sunlight and water, which could be found in high places next to ponds or rivers. As for Yaoyao True trees, they preferred cool places, avoiding sunlight all year round, so they could be seen in some places like cliff cracks. On the other hand, Turtle-Back-like Ganoderma usually grew on islands with alkaline soil.

As long as he was familiar with the growth habits and habitat of those Spiritual Medicines, it wouldn’t be difficult to find them.

However, with that approach, it might take a lot of time.

Ding Hao didn’t hesitate at all. As long as he could cure Ximen Qianxue, he was willing to pay any price, let alone some time.

Having come up with a plan in his heart, Ding Hao was finally relieved.

Although it sounded a little difficult, after all, he saw hope. He memorized the formula and refining method of the “Lingxi Heart Pill” told by Sword Master and went over it for countless times in his heart. Then he was assured and asked, “Well, now let’s talk about your matters. What on earth do you want me to do?”

“In fact, it’s very easy. We just need to find some materials. Here’s the list: Zihuan red gold, Taiyi silver sand, heaven and earth dragon bone, dragon’s silver beard, green roots of ancient trees, Yi Mu divine copper…” Sword Master tried to be casual to avoid terrifying Ding Hao. He said more than 20 materials in one go, and then said with a smile, “In fact, it’s not a big deal. Your task is to help us find these things.”

Ding Hao was stunned for a long time, at a loss for words. Then he said, “Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“Well… this… basically… should… I’m telling you the truth,” Sword Master stammered.

Saber Master remained silent.

“Well, do you know what these things you said are used for?” Ding Hao gnashed his teeth and asked.

“They’re just some materials used to cast Divine Weapons…” Sword Master said, his confidence wavering slightly.

Saber Master still remained silent, which was rare.

Ding Hao gnashed his teeth and said, “How many magic weapons are there in the Land of Infinity? Less than ten? There are four ranks of weapons, ordinary weapon, magical weapon, precious weapon, and holy weapon. Only those at the realm of Martial Demigod can forge holy weapons. And any one of these metals you mentioned is a special material for forging holy weapons. They’re not easy to find, not even for War God, let alone me. Predecessor, even if you sell me now, you can’t get a piece of Zihuan red gold or green roots of an ancient tree. Are you kidding me?”

“Well… although it’s a little difficult, I still believe that you can make it. Young man, come on, I and the crazy woman both believe in you,” Sword Master said with a smile.

“It’s too shameless.”

Ding Hao didn’t know what to say.

“Well, you just try. It’s perfect if you can find one or two of the twenty kinds of divine materials. After all, the Sage Battlefield was once a battlefield where deities died. Maybe these things can be found there…” Saber Master finally spoke and said with a slight emotion, “We also know that this request is a little hard, but whether I and your degrading grandpa can have real bodies again depends on these materials.”

“Degrading grandpa?”

Ding Hao was sweating profusely.

“Crazy woman, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly the good one? Didn’t you come up with all these materials?” The Sword Master said angrily as if he had been given away, “We discussed that we would tell him together. Why did you suddenly start being nice?”

Saber Master denied it and said righteously, “You shamelessly put forward such an unreasonable request. Don’t blame it on me.”

Sword Master: “…”

Ding Hao understood.

“It turned out that this matter had something to do with the recovery of the two old monsters’ real bodies. It was indeed very important.”

Ding Hao knew well that the reason why he was able to have his current success was because Saber Master and Sword Master had been teaching him like parents. Although Ding Hao had entered the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and received the systematic cultivation method, Saber Master and Sword Master were undoubtedly the real contributors of his martial arts.

After getting along with them for such a long time, to put sentimentally, they were like grandpa and grandma to Ding Hao. They were the closest people to him. They were used to quarreling. In fact, no matter what the two old monsters asked for, Ding Hao would try his best to fulfill it, not only to repay their kindness, but also to be responsible for his loved ones.

“Well, I will try my best to find these materials.” Ding Hao made a promise.

The two old monsters had mysterious backgrounds. They knew what had happened in the past ten thousand years and they were very proud. Perhaps they had really lived a brilliant life. Ding Hao didn’t know who they used to be. He believed that one day, everything would be clear. When the timing was right, Saber Master and Sword Master would definitely tell him the truth. Perhaps it was another world-shaking story.

Seeing that Ding Hao agreed so quickly, the two old monsters were a little shocked.

After a pause, Sword Master said, “By the way, there’s another very important thing to remind you. Little Chap Ding, your current strength has entered the one-apertured Great Grandmaster realm. With the combination of Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, saber intent, sword intent and Beast Transform, your combat strength can go head to head with a Martial King Realm expert. It can be said that you have finally begun to practice martial arts. Have you ever considered what road to take in the future?”

“The road to the future?”

Countless ideas flashed through Ding Hao’s mind.

In fact, Ding Hao had been thinking about it during those days.

On the surface, Ding Hao had been practicing martial arts skills, casting weapons, inscriptions, and refining elixirs at the same time. He had made great success so far, and he had made unimaginable progress in each of them. However, with the improvement of his strength and the widening of his vision, Ding Hao knew that was not the right way to continue.

Among the four skills, each of them had its own system. The more advanced the realm was, the more mysterious the skill was. Every step forward required unimaginable hardships and efforts, consuming a lot of time in the process. The reason why he cultivated all of them together was that he was still at the primary stage of cultivation, and he needed a vast and deep foundation to support him. Thus, he could excel when compared to others from the very beginning.

But then, when his strength reached another realm, it seemed that he needed to differentiate between priorities and others.

Saber Master interrupted, “Yes, Little Chap Ding. You know? If a real martial arts expert wants to become Saint in the end, it is far from enough to rely on the experience of his previous generations. He must have his own unique path. For example, the reason why God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region could ignite the divine fire, becoming the dominator of the Northern Region out of tens of millions of competitors, was that he found a suitable path for his own cultivation…”

Ding Hao nodded.

He heard the implication of Saber Master’s words.

“She seems to know very well about the divine people like the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region. She even knew a little about the cultivation method of the War God. Was Saber Master and Sword Master also at the same level and the same era as the Human Tribe’s supreme in the Northern Region?” He thought.

“What kind of martial arts path do you think I should take next?” Ding Hao tried to ask.

Saber Master and Sword Master discussed for a while, and then said in a very cautious tone, “According to my memory and the Sword Master’s, no one has been able to become a Saint with the cultivation of four skills at the same time. As a rare Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, you have a natural advantage. The more strength you promote, the more the physical advantage will be shown. Saber is the king of hundreds of weapons, and the sword is the dominator of hundreds of weapons. Practicing saber and sword at the same time is the right way. I advise you to focus on the cultivation of saber and sword, which is the best choice.”

“The Way of the Sword-Saber Divine Emperor?”

Ding Hao understood a little.

In fact, Ding Hao’s thoughts in the recent days were also like that.

The creation of the “Seven Black Cut” was an opportunity for Ding Hao. That set of cutting skills, which were originally understood by accident at the Grading Meeting of all sects of Snow Province, was also a gift from Ding Hao to the rogue cultivators in Snow Province. However, in the later battles, Ding Hao soon found that the power of that great cutting skill became incredibly amazing in his hands. It surpassed any saber or sword technique he had practiced.

That inspired Ding Hao a lot.
