Chapter 860 - Ancient Stories

The fat boy with a red band on his belly looked at Ding Hao as if looking at an idiot. He said disdainfully, “You still don’t understand? Everything here was prepared for you. They have been waiting for you for thousands of years. You should have come long ago.”

Ding Hao was slightly stunned and a thought flashed across his mind. He thought of a possibility and suddenly said in a trembling voice, “You mean… the ruins of the mountain gate were prepared by my parents. They…”

“In addition to your parents, who else in the world would be so stupid to exhaust everything he has and prepare such a good thing for others?” The fat boy with a red band on his belly sighed and said, “At that time, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng spared no efforts to build this mountain gate and regarded it as a shelter for their children because they knew that God’s Palace would not give up hunting for them and their descendants. After building this blessed land, they could not only cultivate their own forces to govern the world but also live happily and avoid the hunting of God’s Palace. No matter what would happen in the future, at least they could save the lives of their children.”

Ding Hao was completely stunned.

An indescribable feeling spread unstoppably in his heart.

Judging from the words of the naughty Sky-fleeing Stone Key, it could be seen that Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng had made every effort to build this mountain gate and had gone through great difficulties. It was simply a legend to build such a magical and magnificent mountain gate with their wits and physical limits.

Looking at the floating peaks and flowing waterfalls around him, Ding Hao’s eyes were suddenly blurred by tears.

It was a throbbing from the depths of his blood and soul. Ding Hao could vaguely see the peerless man and woman with his blurred eyes. They were personally refining the floating peaks, carving the stone statues, and constructing the stone halls and pavilions brick by brick. They didn’t rest for even a second no matter how terrible the weather was.

“Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng spent thousands of years building this mountain gate. Everything here contains almost everything they have learned in their lives. In order to collect those divine mines and magic herbs, they even went into the forbidden area. They fought against the primitive divine beasts, the rules of heaven and earth, and the army of God’s Palace that was hunting for them. A thousand years ago, when everything here was finally built, they were already exhausted and badly injured. Their hair turned grey and they were nearly reaching the point of collapse.” Thinking of the past days, the Sky-fleeing Stone Key also sighed.

It used to be the closest friend of this couple and had witnessed everything with its own eyes. During that period of time, the hard-hearted Sky-fleeing Stone Key was also moved by everything the peerless couple had done.

Even now, it still couldn’t understand why the so-called parental love between these creatures was so terrifying that they were willing to pay any price.

“Where are they? Where are they now?” Ding Hao asked eagerly.

Finally, he heard the news of his parents from an intelligent existence instead of the dead things left behind by his parents. He was told the things in the past. It seemed that the mysteries in front of him were about to be uncovered.

Since Ding Hao was aware of his own ancestry, he missed his parents all the time and wanted to find them although he didn’t say or do anything obviously.

Ding Hao’s eyes were full of expectation. He looked at the fat boy with a red band on his belly in front of him.

“I don’t know, either.” The Sky-fleeing Stone Key shook its head decisively and said, “You should know that. I have been asleep for thousands of years before I saw you, so I don’t know what happened during that period… It’s been more than a thousand years since I last saw them.”

Ding Hao was shocked, and infinite disappointments surged in his heart.

However, he had a doubt in his heart.

Because Lei Chan had said that it had only been fifteen years on the Land of Divine Grace since the eldest Divine Prince betrayed God’s Palace. However, what the Sky-fleeing Stone Key said took place thousands of years ago. It didn’t make sense in terms of time.

“Are we still on the Land of Divine Grace?” Ding Hao tried to ask.

The fat boy with a red band on his belly nodded and said, “Of course, we are still on the Land of Divine Grace. Among the six continents in the circle, except for the Land of Divine Grace, the other five continents are not the best places to cultivate. In Ding Shengtan’s view, it’s natural to build the mountain gate on the Land of Divine Grace. In fact, it’s located in the Ocean Forest, which is not far from the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe where you first appeared.”

“How is it possible? I walked around the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe but didn’t see any of these floating peaks.” Ding Hao was a little surprised.

The fat boy with a red band on his belly said proudly, “Haha, Ding Shengtan and Yu Qingcheng are great figures. You will never see the formation set up by them. Even if you come close to it, you can’t figure out anything about the mountain gate.”

“Well, even so, there is still a big problem.” Ding Hao nodded and said, “In terms of time…”

“I know what you mean.” The Sky-fleeing Stone Key looked as if he knew everything. He said, “At that time, Ding Shengtan possessed a mighty divine object called the Stone Shuttle of Time, with which he could go on a time travel and avoid being hunted. That was also the reason why he could escape again and again from the hunting of the Eastern Divine Palace.”

Stone Shuttle of Time?

Ding Hao frowned slightly.

He remembered that in the memory he had obtained from the golden light in the Fake God City, Ding Shengtan had once forged a divine sword called Time Freezing for the eighth prince. The sword contained the power of time. The eighth Divine Prince pierced into Ding Shengtan’s body with the sword, trying to kill Ding Shengtan with the power of time, but it did not work at all.

It turned out that it was because Ding Shengtan had a Divine Artifact called the Stone Shuttle of Time.

Time travel was a truly mighty magical power.

However, there was another problem. If that was the case, he could be able to travel back to the time before the massacre at the Divine Capital and change everything and there wouldn’t be anything that happened later. Why didn’t he do that?

Thinking of it, Ding Hao had a headache.

With Ding Shengtan’s wisdom and strength, he must have thought of all that Ding Hao could think of. There must be a special reason why he didn’t do it.

Getting back to thousands of years ago to build such a beautiful mountain gate teeming with wonderful resources and talents was probably just one of Ding Shengtan’s plans. He had spared no efforts to do what he could for his descendants. Only the parents would put in so much effort for their descendants without expecting any favor in return.

“So, you mean that maybe my parents are still using the magical power of the Stone Shuttle of Time to hide in a certain stage of time and space, and they are very safe for the time being?” Ding Hao asked.

The fat boy with a red band on his belly became serious. He said, “On the contrary, there are in a much more precarious situation than before because Ding Shengtan has already lost the Stone Shuttle of Time.”

“He had lost the Stone Shuttle of Time? Why?” Ding Hao was extremely anxious.

“Otherwise, where do you think I come from?” The Sky-fleeing Stone Key said, “I’m just a part of the Stone Shuttle of Time. As early as a thousand years ago, the Stone Shuttle of Time had turned into hundreds of fragments and scattered in different spaces and places. Even if it’s a Divine Artifact, using its power frequently will exhaust all its vitality. ”

That was unexpected.

Ding Hao suddenly understood everything.

He suddenly realized that the Sky-fleeing Stone Keys on the Land of Infinity were actually fragments of the Stone Shuttle of Time. Although they were just parts of that Divine Artifact, they also had a certain power that could trigger time travel and activate the chessboard formation to teleport people from the Land of Infinity to the Land of Divine Grace.

The Sky-fleeing Stone Key in front of him obviously had the personality of a child. As a result, Ding Hao’s prodding method did work on it.” Ding Hao asked more questions and his doubt were all gone.

As he had guessed, the chessboard formation and the things in the mysterious cave in the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were all left behind by Ding Shengtan and his wife.

They left behind those things only for the sake of their descendants.

Many years ago, the couple had been to the Land of Infinity. Since they had a Divine Artifact like the Stone Shuttle of Time, they could still travel back to the time long ago to the Land of Infinity and befriend the golden light in the Fake God City. They shuttled back and forth between different times just in order to find a time and place to settle their children down.

As for the reason why they finally chose such a remote place like the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, maybe they had their own special intentions.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Six Immortal Gates under the Great Abyss.

Ding Hao once found one of Ding Shengtan’s armguards at the bottom of the Great Abyss, which meant that Ding Shengtan had been there before. However, with the era and mystery of the Six Immortal Gates, it couldn’t have been left by Ding Shengtan, but had an even more mysterious history.

Ding Hao finally understood.

Everything seemed to be gradually unveiled.

Many things were doomed to happen from the very beginning. That was to say, it was not an absolute coincidence that he entered the mysterious cave in the Great Abyss of the Back Mountain. Some of what had happened were coincidences, but others were arranged by his parents in advance. If he didn’t take the risk to pick herbs in the Back Mountain and didn’t fall into the cave, he was afraid that something else would happen and he would get the divine treasures in the mysterious cave.

In that case, could it be that the Saber Master and the Sword Master had something to do with Ding Hao’s parents?

The two old monsters must know something that Ding Hao didn’t know, but neither of them had been willing to share.

The chessboard formation was engraved by his father Ding Shengtan in those days. It was also a gate leading to the Land of Divine Grace. Perhaps he could return to the Land of Divine Grace one day. Perhaps he could return to the place where he was born to find his roots.
