After hearing what she said, Ding Hong did not continue pursuing the matter. He turned around and looked at the stone statue.

No one knew when the statue had been carved, but it was likely that it wasn't something that could be accomplished by a single person. But why would those people want to carve such a huge statue? Was it in memory of someone, or in praise? However, what did it mean to leave the stone statue in such a remote place?

Thinking of this, he could not help but ponder deeply.

He jumped down from the horse to the edge of the platform and carefully observed the stone statue.

The statue's right hand was raised as if it was trying to pull out a sword from its left hand. His image was vivid and vivid, and he even felt as if he was about to be revived.

"Hmm? "Alive?"

He was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. It was unknown if it was because of the wind, but Ding Hong felt goosebumps all over his body. It was as if an unprecedented feeling of fear had quietly entered his heart.

Wu Yu saw that his entire body was trembling. He then looked at the stone statue and asked curiously, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Meanwhile, Ding Hong was still trembling as he stared at the stone statue, as if he hadn't heard her words.

Ding Hong looked at the statue and wanted to shift his eyes away. However, no matter how he moved, he felt that he was staring at the statue.

No, that's not right. The stone statue was staring at him! The stone statue actually turned its head and stared at him!

The stone statue's eyes revealed a proud look, as if even the heavens and earth could be looked down upon in its eyes.

He was not afraid of everything. It was as if everything in the world was just a lowly ant in his eyes.

He was a god! He was a god!

No, no, he was not a god!

Suddenly, the stone statue became him. Using the eyes that passed through the ocean and the mulberry fields to pierce through the world's endless cycle of reincarnation, standing on the other side of the sky, looking down on all living beings.

He was not a god!

I am the god! I am the god who rules over everything in this world! Anything that obstructs my path, will turn into dust!

Wu Yu waited for a long time, but didn't say anything when he saw Ding Hong. He was afraid that Ye Zichen would faint and fall down the platform, then even deities wouldn't be able to save him.

He quickly got off the horse and went to help him. However, at this moment, Ding Hong's body suddenly trembled, and the aura around his body instantly changed. In an instant, he turned from a mortal into an inviolable god.

Wu Yu's expression changed as the white horse whinnied loudly and retreated abruptly.

The moment she and the white horse retreated into the tunnel, the platform suddenly cracked open without a sound and turned into pieces of rock. Soon after, the surrounding walls began to vibrate as well. Many rocks flew out from the original place and formed a new stage. However, this stage expanded outwards with Ding Hong as the center. The platform was about three Zhang in length and three Zhang in width. The rest of the open space was a floating bridge built from pieces of stone. Each stone was about four feet long. Two or three meters apart, there were such circles surrounding the stage. On the ground where the stone statue was, a nameless fire was ignited. The scene was spectacular.

Wu Yu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the scene. He then said to the white horse, "Little white dragon, am I seeing things? Was this the Dao Realm?

The white horse raised its front hooves and whinnied.

She frowned as she looked at the statue. She could not help but say, "What lunatic left behind this statue? The scene of him preaching is comparable to that of the Heavenly Palace!" She looked at Ding Hong again. Inevitably, she felt a little jealous, but she soon felt relieved.

Ding Hong stood in the sky, as if he was the ruler of the world.

At this moment, a voice suddenly resounded in the sky. That voice was thick and strong, not allowing anyone to resist. The Sword Emperor's Heaven defying Heaven and his Dao Realm Sword Intent! "

After saying that, Ding Hong only saw a multicolored light sword flying out from the horizon, instantly arriving at his forehead and piercing through.

Ding Hong only felt a bone-piercing pain in his head and could not help but let out a "Ah" sound.

Wu Yu was considering whether he should go see Ding Hong when he suddenly heard Ding Hong's loud roar. He was so shocked that his body jumped.

He hurriedly looked over.

Ding Hong was kneeling on the ground with both hands covering his forehead. His entire body was trembling, as though he was struggling in pain. Startled, she hurried from the floating rocks to Ding Hong's place. "Are you alright?"

Ding Hong was panting heavily. His entire body was covered in sweat, as if he had just run 10 miles. He paused for a moment before raising his head to look at Wu Yu. When he raised his head, Wu Yu was stunned.

His eyebrows were exactly like those of a statue's, two swords pierced into his temples, and a sharp gaze shot out from his eyes. What was even more peculiar was that there was a faintly discernable sword edge on his forehead. After a few breaths, it disappeared. She exclaimed, "How did you become like this?"

Ding Hong breathed heavily and asked curiously, "What's wrong with me?"

He cursed himself for being stupid. How could he possibly see his own transformation? She said, "When you have time, you can take a look for yourself!" He rolled his eyes and asked, "Who was the one who preached to you just now?"

Stunned, Ding Hong asked, "How did you know?"

Yu Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm a monster, so I know a lot of things. Just now, you must have comprehended a Concept left behind by your predecessors and obtained someone else's Dao Insight!"

Ding Hong frowned and thought for a moment. He did not know whether he should tell him or not, but in the end, he still said, "That person claims to be Heaven-defying!"

"Heavy Heavens?" Wu Yu was stupefied. He thought for a long time, but really didn't see this person in the book. He said, "Why have I never heard of this person?" However, looking at his Taoist aura, it was likely that he was not a simple person! How could I not know this person? "That's impossible..."

Ding Hong ignored Wu Yu's muttering as he raised his head to rub his forehead. He felt an extremely terrifying power hidden on his forehead. After the sword entered his forehead, Ding Hong felt his entire body brimming with strength. He looked at his own hand. His right hand could not help but form the shape of a sword. There was only a flash of light. A five-meter long Qi sword had actually appeared on his fingertip.

Without any preparation, Ding Hong only saw a flash of light and a few strands of his hair were cut off by the Qi sword that suddenly appeared.

When Ding Hong and Wu Yu saw this, they were both shocked.

Upon seeing it, Wu Yu excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, this is condensed sword intent!"

Ding Hong asked curiously, "So what if the sword intent has condensed into substance?"

Wu Yu rolled his eyes at him again. His eyes made it seem as though he should read more. She said, "There are many people who cultivate the Dao who like to use the sword to make treasures, but for things like swords, without a mental state, they are just like a pile of scrap metal. Sword intent was something that was extremely difficult to cultivate, so most of the sword type magic treasures were just in shape without its quintessence! Now that you have this sword intent, if you practice a few swords yourself in the future, then put this sword intent into it. Then... "Wow, wow, wow, wow!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, as if she was the one who had acquired a pile of peerless swords.

Ye Zichen looked at her weirdly.

Wu Yu's words just now had really stirred his heart. Thinking about that, if the old man combined the eight sword Qis of the Fuxi Hand Bone and the Heavenly Talisman and created eight True Swords, what kind of power would that be? At that time, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state. Even his own family could only watch as they died, unable to protect him. At that time, I can also do a carefree character, soaring in the heaven and earth, round his heart of the dream.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Yu suddenly said.

Ding Hong told a lie and said, "I'm thinking about how we're going to leave this place."

Wu Yu suddenly placed a hand on his forehead and asked, "Are you having a fever?"

"What?" Ding Hong did not understand.

She sighed and pointed behind her. "Have you not seen such a large path?"

"Huh?" Ding Hong looked in the direction she pointed and saw that a small tunnel had appeared on the wall. He glanced at Wu Yu and said, "This path is indeed huge."

Wu Yu smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything.

The pain seemed to have passed. He stood up and looked at the stone statue again. At this moment, the statue no longer had the domineering aura from before. It was as if an agate had suddenly turned into ordinary, warm goose stones.

He suddenly kneeled down and said, "Since you have imparted your wisdom to me, you have become my master. My master, I, Ding Hong, offer my respects." Saying that, he paid his respects to the stone statue three times.

Seeing him like that, Wu Yu couldn't help but say, "He's just a pile of stones, there's no need for you …" Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the tunnel she was pointing at. It had collapsed.

Wu Yu was stupefied as the stone statue suddenly collapsed. From within the statue, a rotating stone staircase slowly extended into the sky. As it neared the top of the rock mass, the rock mass actually moved to the side, forming a hole that allowed the staircase to continue rising.

Seeing this, Ding Hong bowed three more times. Then, she pulled the dumbstruck Yu Bian along and said, "Little girl, remember this in the future. The heavens are watching her doing this!"

As he was walking, he suddenly remembered that there was another horse. He quickly looked back. He saw the white horse following closely behind him. Crossing the floating stone bridge seemed to be an easy task for it. He could not help but become more and more curious as to what kind of horse this was. Where did this little girl get such a horse? If you have the time, go and get one yourself …

After they climbed the spiral stone stairs, they didn't have any support. They were afraid that Wu Yu would accidentally fall down, so they tightly held onto her hand without letting go. However, he didn't notice Wu Yu's flushed face.

Although the stone stairs looked quite tall, they were only a few hundred feet away from each other. After reaching the top, there was another tunnel. Not far away, there was a blinding light. It should be the exit of this place.

As Ding Hong looked at the exit, he could not help but feel a sense of comfort as he sped up his pace.

After walking out of the exit, he found himself on a barren hillside. Surrounding him were dried up trees. The scorching sun shone down and the hot steam rising from the ground seemed to distort the sky. Seeing this scene, Ding Hong's originally happy mood immediately dropped.

Ding Hong looked at the surrounding scene and could not help but furrow his brows.

Wu Yu suddenly said, "We have already reached the Nine Swords."

Hearing this, he had a strange feeling in his heart. It was very strange. It was like he couldn't let go of the feeling and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but look back.

He could no longer see the beautiful scenery he was used to. All that was visible was a bare slope of yellow earth. It was just that he had been to these places nine years ago, so why couldn't he remember it drying out like this?

Ding Hong looked at Wu Yu and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Ah?" "Me?" Wu Yu thought for a moment. "It seems like a long time. A year has passed."

One year? This little girl can even stay in the Nine Swords Mountain for a year without getting hurt at all? He sneaked a peek at the little girl. If he were to say that she didn't have anything special about her, it would be weird! Even if he were to reach the age when he was in the initial stages of love, it was impossible for him to have any feelings for a eleven or twelve-year-old girl. However, the feeling this little girl gave him was one of maturity. As for why, even the heavens could not explain it clearly.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about these random questions. "Then, when you were here a year ago, was this really the case?"

Wu Yu said, "Yes! That year, when I was running all the way from Yimo County to Kowloon, I met two of our neighbors fighting each other. I wonder if we can still fight. "

Jiu Sang down to Zhou, Jiu Sang up to Qi. The two countries had been at loggerheads for thousands of years, always waging war on the border. In the end, the people were the ones who suffered the most. However, no matter how fierce the fight had been in the past, there were still people living in the vicinity of the Nine Mulberry Mountains. But now …

Looking at the trees around him that had been cut down for years, he sighed. Looking at the sky, the sun was already setting. He said to Wu Yu, "Do you know where the nearest county city or village is?"

Wu Yu hastily nodded. "Of course I know." "There should be a small town called Stone Bridge Town about 20 miles away from here. It will only take a few incense sticks of time for the little white dragon to reach it."

Ding Hong said, "Then let's go to Stone Bridge Town first. It won't be easy when it's dark. "

Wu Yu nodded. The two mounted their horses, and Wu Yu patted the white dragon on its neck before asking it to lead them to Stone Bridge Town.

Everything was lost very quickly in time. Of course, time was running out the fastest.

The sky had turned dark.

After struggling around for four hours, Ding Hong finally lost all patience. He squinted his eyes at the white horse and laughed, "Little white dragon, aren't you very smart? How long have you been walking around this forest? "

The white horse heard Ding Hong's ridicule and roared loudly.

Ding Hongli ignored him and said, "Then why don't you find Stone Bridge Town? I don't need to sigh deeply every two hours. "

Wu Yu sat in front of him and smiled in embarrassment. She was clear in her heart that even though Ding Hong was talking about the white dragon, he was also talking about her at the same time as he was talking about the white dragon.

She said, "Maybe we'll be able to find Stone Bridge Town if we take another turn."

Ding Hong said helplessly, "That's the only way. If we don't find it, we'll have to find ourselves in the woods tonight. "

However, just as the white horse took a few steps, they suddenly heard a few people shouting for help in fear. Ding Hong frowned and said, "Let's go take a look." Wu Yu heard his words and nodded, ordering the white horse to follow the sound.

Soon the white horse was carrying them down a road. At this time, two farmers ran over in fear. After seeing them, they hurriedly said, "Run, the Corpse Monsters are chasing us again!" After he finished speaking, he did not wait for them to respond as he buried his head and ran forward.

Seeing them, Ding Hong rubbed his chin and asked, "What kind of monster is a Corpse Monster?"

Wu Yu said, "It seems that after death, the grievances and resentment will not disperse, and they will gather in the dead body to form a mindless zombie. That's what it says in the book, but I've never seen what it looks like. "

Ding Hong looked at the several Corpse Monsters and jumped off his horse. His sword technique unleashed a sword intent as he flew over to the Corpse Monster and slashed it with his sword. That Corpse Monster was just a normal monster, after being cut by him, it was cut into two pieces. Immediately, all the rotting parts of the corpse started to flow out. Not to mention the repulsive aura, the two parts of the body were actually still squirming.

It made Ding Hong's stomach churn. Seeing this scene, Wu Yu couldn't bear it any longer, so he dismounted from his horse and ran to the side to retch.

Ding Hong held back his nausea and stabbed a few more times. The Corpse Monster had no idea how much it had shattered before it stopped moving. He almost vomited it out. After taking care of one, the others surrounded him again. Frowning, he withdrew the sword intent, drew out a picture of Yin and Yang, and pushed it forward.

However, the Yin Yang Image did not attack the Corpse Monster like it did in the past. The Yin Yang diagram's character on the map flashed, and a few Corpse Monsters suddenly began to burn. With a few howls, they turned to dust.

Ding Hong's eyes flashed.

The Corpse Monster belonged to the Yin World, so it was naturally afraid of light and fire, but this Yin Yang Image could actually use its opposite attribute to kill it, it was truly amazing.

With regards to this, Ding Hong had a better understanding of the uses of the Yin Yang diagram.

He returned to Wu Yu's side, patting her on the back and said, "Alright, alright. The Corpse Monster has already been burnt to ashes. You won't be able to see it."

After Wu Yu heard that, he slowly turned his head to look, only to find that the few Corpse Monsters had disappeared and were replaced with a large black scorched object.

Seeing that she looked a little better, Ding Hong said, "Let's see if we can catch up with the farmer just now. He can definitely point us to the road to Stone Bridge Town."

Wu Yu nodded with a pale face and prepared to mount the horse. Suddenly, he saw a flash of light in front of him. It was a few youth swordsmen. The moment the youths landed on the ground, they couldn't help but glance at Wu Yu before turning their gazes towards Ding Hong.

The leader of the group, upon seeing Ding Hong's luxurious clothes but not a single clean spot on his body, could not help but feel somewhat baffled.

The young man walked in front of them and clasped his hands, "I am Li Cheng from the Violet Dao Palace. What might your name be, little brother?"

Seeing that they did not seem to have any ill intentions, but thinking about how the matters of the Qizi had yet to be resolved, he did not dare to easily say their names. Ding Hong replied, "My surname is Wang."

Li Cheng could clearly see the wariness in Ding Hong's eyes, but from his appearance, he knew that someone was chasing after him and did not point it out. He looked at the charred Corpse Monster and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this youth did this? He was convinced and asked deliberately, "Has Young Master seen any monsters around?"

Seeing him ask that, Ding Hong knew what was on his mind. He laughed and pretended to think hard, saying, "I just saw a few Corpse Monsters, my sister and I were scared. Just when I don't know what to do, an old deity wearing a green overcoat suddenly appeared in the sky.

When Li Cheng heard this, he didn't know if it was true or false. When he heard that there were Corpse Monsters here, he was prepared to bring his junior disciples to train, but when he rushed over, he was already taken out by someone else. However, this was a waste of time. He couldn't help but feel irritated. Just as he was about to call his junior brothers to leave … Ding Hong suddenly asked, "Does this immortal know how to get to Stone Bridge Town? The sky was about to turn dark. If he didn't find a place to stay as soon as possible, it would be too dangerous in the wilderness … "

Hearing that, Li Cheng saw that they were in danger too. He turned around and pointed at a young man who was around Ding Hong's age, "Wang Zheng, bring them to Stone Bridge Town. When they arrive, don't stop and come back immediately! The rest of you, let's go! " After he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Ding Hong. A few rays of sword lights soared into the sky and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

After seeing them leave, Ding Hong looked at the teenager called Wang Zheng. The youth's physique was rather thin and weak, and he was half a head shorter than him. However, there was no arrogance between his brows, giving off a feeling of simplicity. He immediately smiled and came before Wang Zheng, saying, "Thank you, this little deity elder."

Wang Zheng quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. I have just gained a basic level of cultivation and know how to use the sword to fly. "I'll bring you guys to the Stone Bridge Town now. In a few years, it will be the 30-year meeting of the Heavenly Palace's elders. If they find out that I'm being lazy, they'll punish me!"

It's a good thing for you to send the commoners on their night journey, why would you say that you're slacking off? "Of course," he said with a smile, not wanting to argue with him. He turned back to Wu Yu and said, "Little girl, hurry up. This little deity has a lot of things to do."

Wu Yu hastily nodded his head and followed behind them on his white horse.

It was a scorching summer's day, and the sky was both bright and dark. The sun had long since set, but the sky had yet to completely darken, which gave them the convenience to travel.

But the pace was too slow, seeing the anxiety in Wang Zheng's eyes, Ding Hong suggested they ride a horse, and Wang Zheng led the way with his sword. As a result, it was unknown how much time was saved.

When the sky turned completely dark, Ding Hong and Wu Yu finally arrived at the outskirts of the town.

Ding Hong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the town ahead. He turned to Wang Zheng and said, "I'll have to trouble this little deity."

Wang Zheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Wang is being overly courteous. At this point, I will no longer guide you, and we will bid our farewells here. " With that, he rose up on his sword.

Ding Hong looked at these people flying back and forth on their swords. He had no idea how much he envied them. In any case, he no longer had any relatives in this world, so he could chase after his own immortal dream.

He sighed, and seeing that the door to the town was about to close, he and Wu Yu hastily rode their horses inside.
