Ding Hong stood outside for a long time before he slowly approached and said, "Young master, let's go this way." He made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing him come out after such a long time, Yin Fan assumed it was because of his busy schedule. He didn't pursue the matter any further, but simply nodded his head and followed him out.

In the time it took for half a cup of tea to burn, Ding Hong walked out of the Bai Clan mansion. Two horses were already standing in front of the gate. In the time it took for half a cup of tea to burn, Ding Hong walked out of the Bai Clan mansion. Two horses were already standing in front of the gate. Di Yun said: "The journey this time is a bit long, we must take our horses to go there. Please forgive us young master."

Ding Hong nodded his head and mounted his horse, waiting to lead the way.

However, when he saw Ding Hong on the horse, he slowly walked towards the horse and climbed on it like a girl. Seeing this, Ding Hong naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart. Usually it was a servant waiting for his master, but what was this?

Feng Yu panted and said: "This subordinate has been studying poetry all year round and has a weak body. I hope young master will not take offense! Young master, let's go to the cave. "

Weak body? Ding Hong had also observed when he was moving through the cloud just now. His average span was about the same with each step, and his footsteps were light and light. Not even his footprints were left on the dusty road! With just a single look, it was clear that Qing Gong had reached his limits. How could this be considered weak in the body?

"Why did I get off the horse?"

Ding Hong turned his head to look at Di Yun as he coldly snorted in his heart. He thought to himself, "If a mere subordinate dares to be so domineering, then perhaps his grandfather's influence has long been slightly weakened!" Yet he was still trapped in the valley! When he thought of the movements and demeanor of the White City, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

If Ding Hong had encountered the Chasing Haze, he naturally wouldn't have been able to do anything to him. But now …

Ding Hong laughed in his heart as he thought, "Grandfather said that Dark Shadow Tower will always be by my side to protect me, so why should I be afraid of these clouds?"

As this idea formed in his mind, his face darkened and he shouted, "Don't listen to master! Slap your own mouth!"

The nearby servants were all startled by this roar.

Yu Yun's expression changed as he said, "You …" Before he could finish his sentence, Ding Hong had already sent out a slap.

With a "pa!" sound, Pushing Cloud's body was slapped to the side, and half of his face immediately flushed red.

Ding Hong looked at him and coldly snorted. "Forget about it this time. If you dare to be presumptuous again, I'll cut off both your hands and feet, and even your tongue!"

Chou Yun was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He did not even lean to the side, yet he did not dare to take revenge. How could someone who had made it to his level not know the background of these people? The only time Ding Hong had been able to safely stay safe all these years was when he secretly helped from the shadows. Furthermore, it was said that this Shadowless Tower had practiced dao for dozens of years, and even ordinary Daoists were no match for him. What many people couldn't understand was why Dark Shadow Tower was so determined to follow Ding Tian!

Ding Hong felt that this was enough and did not want to embarrass him any further. He only said, "Lead the way!"

Di Yun led the horse and did not speak. Suddenly, with a "Jia!", the horse whined in pain and started running forward like a sharp arrow. How could he show any signs of weakness?

During this time, the two horses were like two bolts of lightning as they galloped in front of them. Immediately, they cried out in alarm and confusion. And it was as if that Shiyun had not seen it and was only striding forward, running like a madman. Where did that scholarly demeanor go now? "I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I …" He reckoned that even if an ox came, he would still be able to easily topple it.

In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Di Yun brought Ding Hong to a secluded place in the front valley. From time to time, some of the sentries would come out to exchange their orders. Ding Hong even suspected that if they couldn't match up, they would be shot to death here!

He was still honest and didn't play any tricks along the way.

After a while, Di Yun and Ding Hong arrived at a large hole made entirely out of stalactite. The sound of dripping could be heard clearly.

Ding Hong looked inside and frowned. "What kind of books can be hidden inside?"

Di Yun lowered his head and said, "The books were all carved on the stone wall, so there's no need to worry."

"Oh?" Ding Honglang said, "How many books are hidden here?"

Dianyun said, "There are a total of three hundred thousand books." The more precious the scripture, the more it was inside. The cave spiralled all the way down to 600 feet underground! "

Ding Hong thought for a moment, but didn't know whether he should enter or not, because Ding Hong always felt uneasy. He said, "Come with me."

Di Yun took a few steps back and said, "This subordinate doesn't have the right to enter. If I barge in without permission, I will be executed."

Ding Hong touched his chin and asked, "Is there any lighting inside?"

"There is a natural stone in this cave. It will light up in a dark place. No one needs to do it by hand."

He thought that since there was Shadow Tower protecting him, he should not be in any danger. He made up his mind and walked straight in.

When Dianyun saw Ding Hong enter, his face suddenly turned malevolent. He said fiercely, "Little bastard, after seeing today, how long can you continue to be arrogant for!"

Ding Hong, who had entered the cave at this moment, naturally did not know what Diyun had said.

The area in front of the cave was nearly three hundred feet empty and devoid of any words. He was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would spy on him, which was why he chose to cultivate in the future. It was exactly as Di Yun had said. After entering the cave, there were a lot of glowing stones stuck into the walls of the cave like torches. Moreover, the light emitting from these stones was even brighter than normal oil lamps!

Ding Hong looked at these stones. There really was a type of stone that could be sold for a large amount of wealth. Just thinking about it, Ding Hong would not do it.

The carvings on the left side of the cave were biographies. From a few thousand years ago to the present, the characters were all different. There was no sequence to them either, so it seemed rather inconvenient. On the right was a few martial arts manuals, but they were not very profound and appeared to be boring. As he walked further and further away, Ding Hong could clearly feel that this cave was spiraling downwards. However, he didn't know where this cave surrounded.

The further they walked, the hotter Ding Hong felt. It was like approaching a furnace. As he went deeper into the cave, Ding Hong gradually started to pay attention to the words on the cave entrance.

When he arrived at a protruding part of the stone wall, Ding Hong suddenly stopped. This was because he saw that what was written on the stone wall was not words, but a painting. The picture was painted on the left wall, which was clearly something he remembered. The drawing on the wall depicted an old man dressed in ancient clothes, drawing a line in front of a group of kneeling commoners. There was nothing else.

Ding Hong could not help but be baffled.

What does this painting mean?

Ding Hong couldn't come up with anything no matter how he thought about it. Afterwards, Ding Hong looked to his right. It was still the old man, but the old man had drawn a broken line in front of them.

Looking at it this way, Ding Hong was even more perplexed. Based on the previous biographies, this painting must also be related to a single person in ancient times!

However, nine thousand years of the path of humanity did not include the ancient era. It was also because of this that many people and events of the ancient era could no longer be remembered. Although Ding Hong had read many books, he hadn't come in contact with any ancient books. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to touch it, but that there wasn't a single history book left in this world.

Ding Hong looked at the painting and suddenly exclaimed, "Eh?" He made a sound.

He discovered that this mural was not carved later on, but instead was moved here to be patched together.

Ding Hong walked closer and touched the stone material on it, then compared it with the stone material on the side, it was actually not the same type! Moreover, there were even some indiscernible objects on the carved rock.

Ding Hong said to himself, "Could it be that this stone wall has survived from the ancient times? So what does it mean? What do those few lines represent? "

Ding Hong frowned and looked around again. He realized that these two paintings were the only things that were inscribed on the wall, and there was no other information on them. Ding Hong looked for a long time, but could not find any more information, so he prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the person who had saved Ding Hong's life in the Immortal Pavilion suddenly spoke up, "That was the founder of the Taiji diagram, the great sage of ancient times, Fuxi!"

Ding Hong was stunned. After hearing the sound, he naturally guessed that it was Shadow Tower. Originally, Ding Hong didn't want to trouble him, but he didn't expect him to come and help him. Overjoyed, he looked around for the figure of Shadow Tower.

Ding Hong said, "Senior, can you tell this junior the meaning of this map?"

After a while, the voice said, "I once studied the dao in the Heavenly Palace for thirty years, and read some books on the Immortal Dao. This old man was the great sage who had enlightened mortals in ancient times, Fuxi. He was also the great sage who had created the beginning of the Dao. The stroke on his left represents Yang. The one on the right represented Yin. And the current Tai Chi is also formed from this Yin and Yang. "

Ding Hong was stunned, because he had actually heard from Dark Shadow Tower that he had been repairing a path. Then why did he linger among the common people? But since Dark Shadow Tower didn't say anything, Ding Hong didn't dare to ask. It wouldn't be too late to ask about it in the future. He decided to solve the problem here first. He then asked, "Then does Senior know the origin of this mural?"

The voice said, "Look at the stone, it must have come from the bottom of the sea. It's just that I don't know why I ended up in the former Qi City. "

Ding Hong was about to speak. Dark Shadow Tower suddenly said loudly, "No!" Then, Ding Hong felt a cold wind blow around his body, and a person wearing a black robe stood in front of him. Furthermore, he kept saying, "No, no …"

Shadowless Tower walked up to the stone wall and touched it again and again. Suddenly, he fell into a daze and kept mumbling to himself, "It really is the Heavenly Sage Stone. It really is the Heavenly Sage Stone …" After which, Shadowless Tower laughed maniacally. It was unknown what sort of emotions were mixed within that laughter. Helplessness, regret, and anger.

Ding Hong looked at Dark Shadow Tower and said, "Senior, you..."

Dark Shadow Tower suddenly turned around and dragged Ding Hong over. He shouted, "Kid, come here!"

Following that, under Ding Hong's dumbstruck gaze, the Dark Shadow Tower dragged him into the so-called Heavenly Sage Stone!

Within the Heaven's Sage Stone was a vast sky, with only black and white colors. It was as if the world was in a painting.

Dark Shadow Tower tightly held onto Ding Hong, and looked at the surrounding scenery. He couldn't help but say, "It's true, it's true. Back then, because of this item, all of the Sect Leader and several other Adepts in the Heavenly Palace died! But he didn't expect that this thing would end up in the former Qi City! "Oh heavens' will, oh heavens' will!" With that, he looked towards the sky and laughed.

Ding Hong frowned and asked, "Senior, what exactly is this Heavenly Sage Stone? Where is this place? "

Shadow Tower suddenly turned its head and looked at Ding Hong, saying, "Do you know how many people died for this thing in the past?" Perhaps it was because his throat was torn just now, but his voice from Dark Shadow Tower had already become a little hoarse.

Ding Hong shook his head.

Shadowless Tower chuckled, his eyes burning with passion as he said, "Three thousand years ago, a Heavenly Sage Stone appeared. In order to fight for it, 20 million cultivators died! 20 million! "

Ding Hong was shocked, "20 million cultivators?"

Shadowless Tower trembled all over, and said, "I've seen it in the records of the Heavenly Palace. It's said that there are a total of three Heavenly Sage Stones! This first piece depicted Fuxi's Creation Dao! It was rumored that if someone could comprehend Fuxi's dao within the Celestial Sage Stone, it would have the effect of cleansing the tendons and altering the marrow! From then on, there was nothing left to stop the great Dao of the Vast Expanse! As long as I understand the Dao in this place, then I'll be able to cultivate a new Dao and become a true Immortal! "

Ding Hong glanced at Dark Shadow Tower a few times. He didn't know why, but he had a nagging feeling that Dark Shadow Tower had already fallen into a demonic state. Although he had heard all that Shadow Tower had said, he didn't know why he couldn't feel any emotions in his heart. It was unknown if it was due to the state of the heart that he had comprehended in his dream.

At this time, Dark Shadow Tower suddenly swished and walked in front of Ding Hong, harshly saying, "Are you thinking that I have already been possessed? Isn't that right? "

Ding Hong was frightened by his actions and retreated a few steps back. "Senior, please do not be too agitated. At that time, it would not be good to be angry and attack your heart."

Shadow Tower laughed again and said, "Kid, how do you know the importance of this Heavenly Immortal stone! How could you guys know! " Finishing his words, he ignored Ding Hong. With a turn of his body, he transformed into a black wind and disappeared into the mysterious black and white world!

Ding Hong looked around and found that he could no longer find any traces of Dark Shadow Tower. He knew that Dark Shadow Tower had already gone to comprehend the Dao left behind by the great ancient sage, Fuxi.

Ding Hong rubbed his chin, muttering to himself, "This is great, I can't come in and out!" He wasn't the kind of person who just sat there and waited for death. After discovering that Shadowless Tower wasn't here, he knew that he had to rely on himself to walk out. He didn't hesitate and began to observe his surroundings. Ding Hong was not like the cultivators of Shadowless Tower, who only came for wind. The problem of walking was one that depended on walking.

After browsing for a long time, there was only one thing that Ding Hong could prove. That was, this world was really made up of black and white. There was no other color.

Ding Hong suddenly had a feeling of powerlessness in his heart. That feeling of powerlessness had never appeared before. The last time was nine years ago.

Ding Hong took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the ground. He then said to himself, "Since I have encountered such a situation, why would I want to leave? If you don't try to gain some enlightenment, the Heavens will never forgive you! " Following that, Ding Hong also pretended to act. Like in the book, his mind was blank and he didn't think about anything else.

Two hours later …

"Aiyo …" Ding Hong stood up while wailing in pain. After much effort, he finally managed to stand up from the ground.

Ding Hong knocked his leg, bared his teeth, grinned, and angrily said, "Isn't this how the biography of the monster works? "Why can't I even comprehend the root hair!"

In a fit of anger, Ding Hong did not care about anything else and went out. His leg pain no longer caused him to stay on the ground. He must have expended a great deal of effort just now. After lying on the ground, he began to pant nonstop. Since he couldn't think of anything, Ding Hong was too lazy to think about it. Lying on the ground, staring at the sky.

There were no clouds in the sky, only a few constantly changing lines. Those lines kept moving, just like living insects. Ding Hong looked at the lines in the sky. Unknowingly, the lines in the sky started to change. They slowly formed into a group of people, moving aimlessly, as if they were no different from normal people! As Ding Hong watched, he suddenly felt as if he had turned into one of them. He was at a loss as he followed them forward.

Gradually, Ding Hong seemed to see an old man seated on a rock in front of Li Jun. His clothes were actually identical to the one painted on the stone wall! Ding Hong was shocked and quickly regained his senses. He did not follow the stream of people and instead went straight to the old man. He respectfully bowed and shouted, "Mister."

The old man looked at Ding Hong and smiled, "You and I are strangers. Why do you have to give me such a great gift? "

Even so, Ding Hong did not dare to act presumptuously. He bowed again before asking, "Sir, are you the great sage Fuxi?"

"Oh?" The old man asked curiously, "When did I become a great sage?"

Ding Hong was overjoyed. This old man had said those words, which meant that he was definitely Fuxi! He had just heard from Shadowless Tower that Fuxi had been able to train mortals during the Primordial Era. This achievement was already limitless. It was worth paying respects to! He immediately knelt down once more, then said respectfully, "Ancestor Fuxi."

The old man looked at Ding Hong and shook his head. He got down from the rock and helped Ding Hong up. He said, "Everyone is equal, so how can I make you bow to me?"

Hearing the old man's words, Ding Hong did not show any restraint as he replied, "Yes, Ancestor."

When the old man heard these words, he sighed and said nothing more. He asked, "Can you find me for something?"

Ding Hong hurriedly said, "Brat, I want to seek dao from Ancestor!"

The old man frowned. Although he was just a person formed from lines, he could still see the expression on his face clearly. He said, "I don't have a dao here." The old man sighed with regret and said, "Is that why I can't lecture you on the Dao?"

Ding Hong was stunned and asked, "Why does Ancestor say that?"

The old man said, "What I have is the comprehension of the heavens and earth, but I don't know what the Dao is."

Ding Hong thought for a moment. In ancient times, there were no words, so he naturally did not mention one of the Daos. Therefore, he asked, "Then can you tell me about it?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Naturally." After saying that, he picked up a wooden stick from the rock and drew a line on the ground. He then said, "This is what I have comprehended."

Ding Hong looked at the cross and suddenly thought of the painting on the stone wall. The Shadow Tower had said that it was the sun, but he didn't know what Fuxi would say. He couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, what does this' across' represent?"

The old man looked at Ding Hong for a long time before saying, "This is the place where we live, the universe!"
