Supreme Emperor of Swords
Chapter 1168 At the School Gate
“The space-time transmission passage that I used to come to Earth this time was not stable. I only determined the coordinates with the help of the Heavenly Samsara Disc. That wisp of weak energy should be the soul of that tragic student. It’s sucked into the space-time transmission passage. I’m afraid he’s in great danger…”
Ding Hao felt a little sorry for him.
Unfortunately, the space-time passage had completely disappeared in that instant. Ding Hao could do nothing to save the student.
At this time, Ding Hao, dressed in an ancient costume and a cyan shirt, was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. Fortunately, many people on Earth had long been used to all kinds of strange clothes. They thought that he was a young man doing cosplay. No one would think too much about it even if they took a few more glances at him.
Ding Hao turned around and left.
After coming to Earth, he could feel that the Qi power in his body was slowly weakening. He could not feel any Qi fluctuations or tides of Spiritual Qi in the air on Earth. The power rules of heaven and earth were in chaos and extremely dim.
“No wonder the people on Earth can’t cultivate martial arts or magical power. This has always been a world where the tides of Spiritual Qi are so weak that they can almost be ignored.” Ding Hao was lost in thought. He ran his cultivation method slightly to seal up the Qi power in his body to avoid it from losing.
He could hear the noise of cars, commercial advertisements from all directions, and the quarrel of people.
Compared with the Land of Infinity and the Land of Divine Grace, such a noisy environment seemed to be chaotic and annoying, but Ding Hao felt it was very familiar when he heard it because he had lived in such an environment for a long time in his soul life.
There were road signs and all kinds of text signs on the side of the road. The familiar but strange characters on them made the long-lost memory in the depths of Ding Hao’s mind come to him ceaselessly.
“Theoretically, the Heavenly Samsara Disc can connect the six paths, which means that any space of the six paths can be connected. Since the Heavenly Samsara Disc can teleport me to Earth, does it mean that Earth is also one of the six paths?”
When Ding Hao thought of this, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. For a moment, he was enlightened.
He instantly understood what was going on.
“Yes, yes, I get it. It turns out that the real Human Path refers to Earth!” Ding Hao was suddenly enlightened. “Among the six paths, the Heaven Path is the greatest, the Asura Path is second, and the Human Path is last among the three good paths. The creatures in the Human Path experience aging, illness, and death in the mortal world, and they can’t practice magical power. However, they don’t have to suffer the pain of the three evil paths. They’re not ignorant, and they can live a happy life…
“If Earth is the Human Path, then the Heaven Path can be confirmed. It is the new world after the merger of the Land of Divine Grace and the Land of Infinity.
“In the past, the Heaven Path was broken. The Land of Divine Grace and the Land of Infinity were torn apart by the war in the Immortal Period and circulated in the starry sky. In the end, they merged again under the guidance of a mysterious track. But no matter what, the two continents are a part of the Heaven Path, so all the creatures living on them can cultivate. They have supreme power and strength. However, in the eyes of the creatures on Earth, aren’t this kind of power and cultivation method just like what the immortals possess in the myths?”
Ding Hao felt that the mystery in his mind was being cracked little by little.
At this moment, the answers to a lot of questions suddenly became clear.
The God of War of Mysterious Frost and the others went to the Beast Path. Now that Ding Hao was clear of the Human Path and the Heaven Path, the Hell Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Asura Path had also appeared, that was to say, the six paths had finally been gathered by Ding Hao. In the Immortal Period, the immortals were in chaos. They cut the sky, broke the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and got them in disorder. They were lost in the vast starry sky. Now, Ding Hao finally saw the first glimmer of recovery of the six paths.
Just as Ding Hao lowered his head and was deep in thought, there was a roar of the motor in front of him, like the roar of a monster. A Chevrolet Camaro rushed over. Just as it was about to hit Ding Hao, a braking sound and screams rang out.
It was obvious that the driver was a rich man who had lost control of his racing car, and his frightened face could be seen clearly behind the windshield.
Ding Hao looked up and took a look.
The car suddenly stopped without warning. It had been running so fast, but it stopped in an instant. It was so incredible that the car seemed to have been blocked by an invisible force.
When the rich man in the car cursed, he only felt dizzy, and Ding Hao’s figure disappeared.
…
After two hours, Ding Hao appeared in another city thousands of miles away.
He exchanged a piece of low-grade mysterious crystal for 100,000 bucks in cash in a famous jewelry store and put it in his pocket casually. Then, he left under the gaze of the store manager and the jewelry appraiser, who thought that they had taken big advantage of him. Ding Hao turned a corner and went to a nearby shopping mall. He picked a set of sportswear and changed into it. When he went out of the mall, he bought an ice cream and walked to a school not far away.
The taste of the ice cream was extremely familiar, which was enough to remind him of countless memories of the past, but compared with many delicacies in the Land of Infinity and the Land of Divine Grace, it was far from delicious enough. Ding Hao did not particularly like to eat this kind of food, but it could bring him his experience of the past.
Ding Hao came to the school gate of Willow High School in the hot sun.
This was the school Ding Hao went to before he time-traveled.
He was extremely familiar with every blade of grass, every tree, and every building here.
“More than 60 years have passed in the Land of Infinity, but everything here doesn’t seem to have changed much…” Ding Hao looked at everything at the school gate and was a little confused. Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a big red banner hanging on a four-story teaching building in the distance.
On the banner, the words “Welcome to New Students of Year 2014” were written.
“It’s now the year 2014?”
Ding Hao frowned slightly. He clearly remembered that it was exactly 2014 when he time-traveled. After he took the college entrance examination, he went to get drunk with his friends. He was drunk and unconscious. When he woke up, he had time-traveled to the Land of Infinity. Now more than 60 years had passed in the Land of Infinity. How come it was still 2014 when he was back on Earth?
Could it be that the flow of time was different between the Heaven Path and the Human Path?
An ear-piercing ringtone sounded, and many high school students in school uniforms came out of the teaching building. It was time for the lunch break.
“Hey? Look at that handsome guy in sportswear. He’s so handsome. Could he be a celebrity?”
“He’s, he’s so handsome! He’s like a Prince Charming!”
“The way he eats an ice cream is so attractive.”
Ding Hao could hear a few young girls chattering. He looked back and saw several young and beautiful high school students pointing at him and chattering. They were originally whispering, but how could they not be heard by Ding Hao?
“Hey, he’s looking at us!”
“He is. Wow, that look in his eyes is simply so handsome.”
“Let’s go over and hit on him…”
When the girls saw Ding Hao looking at them, they immediately became excited and dawdled over. The leading one was a beautiful high school girl with ear-length hair. She plucked up her courage to say hello and said, “Senior, do you also study at Willow High School?”
The other girls echoed.
“What a lame pickup line!”
Ding Hao smiled and said, “Xiaoxiao, how come you don’t recognize me? What month is it now?”
The short-haired girl was stunned and stared at Ding Hao carefully. After more than ten seconds, she suddenly came to her senses and said in surprise, “Are you… are you Brother Ding Hao?”
Ding Hao nodded and smiled.
This beautiful high school girl with short hair was Ding Hao’s junior sister in high school. They were neighbors in the same community. They were very familiar with each other since they lived next door. Ding Hao did not expect that he would meet this young girl again when he time-traveled back to Earth and came to the school gate.
“What? Xiaoxiao, do you know this handsome guy?” The girls all laughed.
Xiaoxiao made a face and said, “Hee hee, Brother Ding Hao is my neighbor. You should know him. He is a star of our high school. He just ranked third in science and has been admitted by the Department of Physics of Henshire University…”
The girls couldn’t believe it. “How could it be? If such a handsome guy were from our school, we would have noticed him a long time ago…”
It seemed that the girls were also very gossipy.
“You little fangirls. Haha, don’t think about coveting Brother Hao.” Xiaoxiao curled her lips and joked with her friends. Then, she looked at Ding Hao and asked curiously, “By the way, Brother Ding Hao, where have you been in the past two months? Why did you disappear all of a sudden? I asked your parents about it. They said that you went out to travel alone. How could you leave without telling me? I wanted to ask you to tutor me. I’m in my third year of high school this year, and I’m under a lot of pressure in studying…”
Xiaoxiao naturally took Ding Hao’s arm.
For a long time, she had regarded Ding Hao as her own brother. The relationship between them had always been very good, and they could be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Ding Hao, however, was a little surprised.
He got two key pieces of information from what Xiaoxiao said. First of all, less than two months had passed since his time travel. Secondly, his parents in this world did not seem to be in a hurry to find him. They didn’t even report his disappearance. Instead, they said that he had gone on a trip.
“Could it be…”
Ding Hao thought of a possibility, and his heart began to pound.
After waving goodbye to several good friends, Xiao Xiaoxiao went home with Ding Hao and kept talking on the way. Ding Hao responded with a smile, but he was thinking about other things.
In fact, the moment Ding Hao knew that he had returned to Earth, he realized a lot.
In order to find Ding Shengtan, he accidentally came to Earth, which meant that he would have a chance to see his parents, friends, and relatives in this world. There was a kind of feeling called homesickness. Ding Hao did not choose to go home immediately but came to the school gate to have a look. He was afraid that if he returned home, he would discover that his parents had passed away, and he would see strangers who opened the door.
What truly happened was beyond Ding Hao’s expectations.
He felt that this matter was not so simple.
