Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 479 - Going Straight up to the Highest Heaven

Chapter 479 Going Straight up to the Highest Heaven

The Three Emperors of Ning Province were all stunned.
At first, they thought that Ding Hao and the others did not have any relationships in the Highest Heaven nor know anything basic. After entering the city, they would definitely rely on them, which was their advantage. However, they did not expect that Ding Hao would propose a temporary separation in less than 50 minutes after entering the city, which was really beyond their expectations.
“How can this be…” The youngest of the Three Emperors of Ning Province still wanted to say something, but was gently pulled by the eldest one. The latter smiled and said, “Well, Brother Ding, like you said, we’ll meet here in three days. Of course, within this period, if you need any help, you can send someone to come to us. Everyone, take care!”
After finishing saying that, the three of them said goodbye by cupping their hands and left.
Ding Hao turned around and said with a smile, “Brother Shen, with your status and insight, you must be very familiar with the Highest Heaven, right?”
Shen Buhui did not think much. He said with a smile, “You’re right. I’ve been in this city since I entered the Sage Battlefield. Although I don’t know everything inside, I know most of it.”
“Oh, that’s great.” Ding Hao smiled and said, “I have a few questions, and I hope Brother Shen can answer me.”
Shen Buhui was slightly joyful.
He had always liked to make friends. When he came over, he was already prepared to be rejected. After all, in the Highest Heaven, the noble geniuses were all aloof and dignified. He had already been rejected several times before. He didn’t expect that this noble warrior with the bronze grimace mask would be very patient and even take the initiative to ask him. It seemed that there was a chance.
“Go ahead, Brother Ding. I’ll tell you everything I know,” Shen Buhui patted his chest and said.
Ding Hao smiled slightly, turned around, and whispered something in Li Yiruo’s ear. After seeing the beautiful girl walking toward a stall next to her, Ding Hao asked, “We just arrived here, and there are still a lot of rules that we don’t understand. How can we find a residence in this city?”
Shen Buhui replied with a smile, “Which story do you want to live in, Brother Ding?”
Ding Hao was slightly stunned, and then he immediately understood that the name the Highest Heaven had some reason behind it.
“Previously, the Three Emperors of Ning Province claimed that they lived in the Fifth-Level Heaven. Presumably, the Highest Heaven is divided into nine levels, and different people with different status live on a different story,” Ding Hao thought then said, “What’s the difference?”
Shen Buhui said patiently, “Brother Ding, what you don’t know is that there are nine levels in the Highest Heaven. The higher the status, the higher the story he lives in. As far as I know, the average genius warriors of the two tribes live on the first story. Their strength is probably in the realm of the primordial grandmaster or great grandmaster. The fifth level is where the middle or high-ranking Martial Kings live. Those in the realm higher than Martial Emperor live on the seventh to eighth level, and the ninth level is where Martial Grand Emperors and Martial Sages live. But these rooms are usually empty because no one has reached the realm of Martial Grand Emperor or Martial Sage before 50 years old in the entire Northern Region.”
Ding Hao nodded and said, “I see.”
Shen Buhui continued, “As for finding houses, it’s much simpler. On every story, many secluded places have been set up for closed-door training since the construction of the Highest Heaven. However, there are restriction formations or Puppet Dolls of War guarding it. Basically, they are derelict. Even though all the major sects have been reclaiming for so many years, there are still many derelict houses. If someone can use his magical skill or strength to break the original seal or defeat the Puppet Doll of War, then that house will belong to him.”
“It’s like this?”
Ding Hao suddenly understood.
It sounded rather simple.
Ding Hao originally thought that it would cost a lot of money to find a house in the city, but he didn’t expect that he would actually buy a house with his strength. The ancestors of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan who built this giant city thought comprehensively. Strength was everything, so as not to take advantage of power or make money by occupying the city’s resources.
During the conversation, Li Yiruo had come back from the stall next to her.
She held a green ginseng with many roots in her hand, which was shining and extremely beautiful.
Ding Hao took the ginseng and handed it to Shen Buhui with a smile. He said, “Thank you, Brother Shen, for solving my doubts. This Green Dragon King Ginseng may be beneficial for your cultivation. It’s my first time meeting you and I would like to make friends with you. This gift is a token of my regard. Please accept it.”
“How could I take it?” Shen Bugui hurriedly declined.
In fact, he was very shocked.
Along the way, he gave a cursory glance. In the whole market, only this Green Dragon King Ginseng could attract his attention. He practiced the Yi Wood Forest Tactic and his Qi belonged to the wood system. Now that he had reached the peak of Great Grandmaster, he was only one step away from the Martial King Realm. And the Green Dragon King Ginseng belonged to the purest divine medicine of wood Qi, one of the five elements of the Qi. After a little refining, it could help him to break through the bottleneck.
He thought that he had just looked at the Green Dragon King Ginseng a few times, but the warrior with the bronze grimace mask surnamed Ding discovered it and guessed his interest. Besides, he took the initiative to give this divine ginseng to him. His mind and courage were really amazing.
Shen Bugui hesitated for a while, but in the end, he happily accepted the gift.
He did not know that Ding Hao’s Mind Essential had reached the sixth level, that was A World inside the Body. So his observation ability was good. Moreover, Ding Hao could see the attributes and bottleneck of Shen Buhui’s cultivation at a glance. As an elixir pharmacist, he naturally knew that the effect of the Green Dragon King Ginseng could help Shen Buhui break through the bottleneck.
Ding Hao had his own considerations.
The main reason why he immediately parted with the Three Emperors of Ning Province after entering the Highest Heaven was that he did not want to listen to these three people’s arrangements, nor did he want all his actions under their supervision. Although the two sides were cooperative, there was once a conflict. If the Three Emperors of Ning Province gave out some wrong information, it was likely that he would make some mistakes and be led by the three people.
The appearance of Shen Buhui enabled Ding Hao to completely get rid of the Three Emperors of Ning Province.
Because of his keen seventh sense and intuition, Ding Hao sensed that the guardian of this southwest formation gate was actually a third party who was not strong but had a wide range of friends and unique vision, and he was willing to make friends with him. Undoubtedly, such a person was what he needed most at present.
That was why he had given him such a precious gift.
The price of one Green Dragon King Ginseng was the price of three Heaven-Earth Blood Bones and 10 Supreme-grade mysterious crystals. It could be said that it was very expensive.
As expected, Shen Buhui, who had obtained a Green Dragon King Ginseng, became more enthusiastic. He really told Ding Hao everything he knew without reservation. He patiently explained to Ding Hao all kinds of explicit and covert rules in the city, and volunteered to be a guide. As long as Ding Hao had any needs, he could basically help to solve them.
“On which level of the heaven do you want to get a residence?” Shen Buhui asked tentatively.
Ding Hao thought for a moment then said, “Let’s go directly to the sixth level.”
Shen Buhui was stunned. The sixth-level heaven was the one where high-ranking Martial King Realm experts and even half-step Martial Emperor Realm experts gathered. The original residences there had very powerful seals, and the Puppet Dolls of War could not be underestimated. Ding Hao said that he wanted to go up to the sixth-level heaven, and he was a little arrogant.
However, he was still ready to lead the way.
It was not until this time that Shen Buhui noticed that the five people with almost the same strength as himself who had been following Ding Hao were carrying a very delicate and comfortable stretcher. There should be an injured person on it, but the stretcher was emitting rays of strange silver light, which covered up the person on it. So the face of the person on the stretcher couldn’t be seen clearly, and their gender could not be figured out either.
Along the way, Ding Hao carefully looked everywhere.
The Highest Heaven was a giant city built on the hillside. It was covered by a huge “shell” that was similar to an ice cover. It was white and as clear as jade and emitted a faint brilliance, which lit up the entire city and made it very beautiful. There were no sun, moon, nor stars in the sky. There was a white dome above it that was about hundreds of meters above the ground.
The first floor was crowded with people.
In addition to the market, there were houses and streets in various areas. Some places near the mountain wall also had caves dug into them. Basically, there were people in every residence…
In the middle of the first floor, there were dozens of inscription transmission formations.
They were like elevators.
Shen Buhui entered the formation and chose a few strange symbols. With a flash of light, a sense of weightlessness came. Just a moment later, Ding Hao and the others, who had also entered the formation, were transmitted to the sixth-level heaven.
“Gee, this residence seems to be derelict, and it can be developed…” Shen Buhui pointed to the magnificent gate along the street and said.
Ding Hao stopped and observed carefully.
It was not a large yard, but the facade was glorious. The cyan stone door had been closed for many years, and the two planks seemed to merge into one. They were covered with dust, and there was not even a footprint around them. There were two majestic warrior statues at the door with a height of about six or seven meters that held long swords in their hands. They were so vivid, as if they were going to come to life and launch an attack in the next moment.
Ding Hao released his Divine Senses.
Soon he found that there was indeed a hidden inscription formation on the stone gate of the courtyard. It was an extremely complicated and profound formation that closed the entire courtyard. If anyone wanted to enter it, they had to first break the defense of the stone door with force. Moreover, the two warrior statues at the door were actually two Puppet Dolls of War. As long as anyone was within 10 meters of the gate, they would be ruthlessly attacked by them immediately!
Ding Hao believed that he could break the formation with only one blow.
However, he decided to turn around and leave.
He needed a bigger and more spacious residence.
It was not only because Ximen Qianxue needed to have a good rest, but also because in the Highest Heaven, the size and story of the residence represented strength and potential. Since Ding Hao had decided to make a difference, he knew that now was not the time to hide his strength. He had to be high-profile and make all the forces in the world acknowledge him. Only in this way could he have the right to speak in the future and gain benefits from that piece of map.
In that case…
“Let’s go to the seventh-level heaven.”
After Ding Hao said this, Shen Buhui was completely stunned.
