Ding Hao lazily stretched and stood up. After a yawn, he said, “It is too hot today. I don’t want to bask in the sunshine anymore. It’s time to go back.”

“Hey? Brother Jia, why are you leaving so early?” The young men were a little surprised.

Ding Hao threw a high-grade mysterious crystal to each of them and said, “I have some things to do at home. Brothers, why don’t you find a place to have lunch? You don’t need to wait for me.”

Li Ning grabbed the mysterious crystal and beamed with joy.

Ding Hao took a few steps and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, “By the way, don’t tell people what you just said everywhere. The matter of the eldest Divine Prince is taboo in God’s Palace and it’s a felony to talk about it in private. Once someone knew what you said today and investigated it carefully, I’m afraid that you, your cousin, and I will all die.”

Li Ning was stunned. After thinking carefully, he was also in a cold sweat and immediately agreed.

Ding Hao then turned around and left.

“Why should we suddenly rush to the Ocean Forest?” Looking at the endless primeval forest on the green mountain peak, Lei Tingchan felt a little strange.

When Ding Hao came back in the morning, he began to pack up his belongings. Then, they left the Northern Land City almost at the fastest speed and arrived at the periphery of the primeval and wild forest.

Lei Tingchan had also cultivated in this forest before. When she first arrived at the Land of Divine Grace, she was teleported to this forest. She spent the first half of the year here with the forest behemoths around her. It wasn’t until her strength had improved that she managed to leave the forest difficultly.

Lei Tingchan didn’t like the forest, nor did she loathe it.

She was surprised by Ding Hao’s attitude.

She could rarely feel a kind of impatience from Ding Hao.

In her memory, this young man with outstanding talents had always been far calmer and wiser than any of his peers. Most of the time, he was extremely calm, and he did things in a rather tactful and logical manner. It seemed that he could smoothly overcome all difficulties, no matter how difficult they were.

Just like in the past two months, Ding Hao cultivated lazily and spent a lot of time doing things that Lei Tingchan thought insignificant and meaningless. He also spent time with some uneducated young people with mediocre aptitude. Lei Tingchan could see that Ding Hao was carrying out a certain plan in an orderly manner.

However, as soon as Ding Hao came back from Market City, he hurried on his way with Nalan Chu, Nalan Youxia, and Lei Tingchan.

It felt as if he couldn’t wait to go to the Ocean Forest.

What on earth had attracted Ding Hao’s interest?

Ding Hao took out a wrinkled map from his pocket. It was drawn by an old mercenary in Market City who was familiar with the terrain around the Ocean Forest. The location of the ruins of the ancient sect was also marked on the map. After careful observation, Ding Hao found the direction.

He put away the map and said with a smile, “What I’m looking for in the forest is very important to me, and…” Speaking of this, Ding Hao glanced at Lei Tingchan and said, “You have been dreaming of going back. Maybe we can find a way back to Land of Infinity this time if we’re lucky enough.”

“Really?” Lei Tingchan was shocked, and then she became excited.

The focus of Buddhist cultivation was one’s state of mind. One must have a stable mind and a clear heart that was as clear as a mirror. Only in this way could one cross the sea of bitterness and reach the shore. This kind of cultivation method could only be achieved by a person with great wisdom and perseverance. Lei Tingchan was originally one of the best candidates. However, since she came to the Land of Divine Grace, the thought of going home had become her greatest obsession and a hindrance to her cultivation.

As the saying goes, it is better for the doer to undo what he has done.

Lei Tingchan was well aware that if she wanted to get rid of her obsession, she had to return to the Land of Infinity.

Therefore, she was still looking forward to it when she heard Ding Hao’s words.

“Let’s go.” Ding Hao, together with Nalan Chu and Nalan Youxia, activated his magical weapon-the motorbike Black Lightning and marched forward. Lei Tingchan rode on wind and followed them.

Ding Hao did not tell Chu about his speculation. Maybe Nalan Xingde, the Heavenly Wrath Sword was the person that Chu and her brother were looking for, and maybe not. Ding Hao wanted to figure it out first, and then figure out why Nalan Xingde didn’t go to the Heavenly Wasteland Tribe to find his children for so many years. Was he really a heartless person?

Since he arrived at the Land of Divine Grace, Chu was the first person to take care of him wholeheartedly. She was also his savior. For Ding Hao, the saying “Little help brings much return” had always been his principle of conduct. What’s more, through these days of contact, Chu and her brother were no longer simply his benefactors.

They were more like his friends and relatives.

They were the first family members he had on the Land of Divine Grace.

Therefore, Ding Hao did not want Chu and her brother to get hurt again.

As the Black Lightning streaked across the sky and pierced the clouds in the void, they whistled toward the west. Since it was the periphery of the Ocean Forest and there were no Divine Big Dipper Beasts or Divine Beasts of Earth Evil, Ding Hao simply drove as fast as he could.

They met several other masters of the Human Clan at midnight. They didn’t say hello to each other but stayed far away from each other vigilantly.

Ding Hao was a little relieved.

“It seems that I didn’t go the wrong way. These warriors must also come here for the ruins of the ancient sect in the legend.”

Thinking of it, Ding Hao simply followed them from a distance.

The next morning, they finally reached their destination.

The sun had just risen and the golden sunlight was shining on the forest. It was a tranquil beauty.

It was a strange mountain ridge where peaks of tens of thousands of meters high stood, piercing into the sky like divine towers. The light black miasma lingered between the peaks. The black plants that had long adapted to the miasma had dyed miles within in the surrounding area black with a strange quietness.

The towering mountain peaks blocked the sunlight. As a result, in the depths of this 10,000-meter-long stone forest, there was almost no sunlight all year round. In the daytime, it was as cold as it was at night.

The legendary ruins of the ancient sect were located in this dangerous stone forest made of steep peaks.

Maybe it was because of the miasma, noxious insects, severe coldness, and dim light, that few people had been here for tens of thousands of years. It was not until a herb-collecting team accidentally entered the ruins half a month ago did they find the ruins of the ancient sect.

Ding Hao followed those people into the stone forest made of steep peaks. He released a faint flaming Qi and formed a shield around them to protect Chu and Nalan Youxia so as not to breathe in the poisonous miasma.

As they went deeper, the surrounding sky had become completely dark.

It made people feel as if they had arrived at an underground dark world.

Having survived similar adventures so many times, Ding Hao was experienced in dealing with this kind of environment. Although he encountered several dangers along the way, he resolved them easily. The killers who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob them and kill these explorers were also killed by him with thundering moves.

About six hours later, the ruins of the ancient sect appeared in front of them.

It was a mess of ruins. The collapsed temple was covered with thick dust, and the broken statues were broken. The outline of the foundation of the buildings could be seen barely. People could tell that there used to be a large number of magnificent buildings here, but unfortunately, they disappeared into the dark wind and dust.

The collapsed ruins spread all the way into the distance.

Obviously, it was just the periphery of the ruins here.

Among the countless ruins Ding Hao had seen, this one was most severely damaged. It was almost impossible to distinguish the era, nor could he tell what kind of sect had once existed here from the style and lines of the buildings.

“I don’t think there is anything valuable left in such ruins.” Ding Hao guessed.

Walking along the collapsed ruins, he could vaguely see some stairs that did not lead upward but led all the way down, as if they were leading him to the underground.

Footprints could be seen all over the flight of steps. It seemed that people from the various forces that had arrived earlier had already followed the flight of steps to enter the underground.

Ding Hao carefully protected Chu and her brother and went deeper with Lei Tingchan.

“Good person, it’s so dark here. There seems to be something strange ahead and I’m a little scared.” The silly Nalan Youxia suddenly gently pulled Ding Hao’s sleeve.

Ding Hao was slightly surprised because he also found that there was something lurking in the darkness about 20 meters ahead, giving off a frightening killing intent although it carefully restrained it. He didn’t expect that Nalan Youxia would also sense it. It seemed that there was really a very wonderful power inside his body.

Lei Tingchan smiled and reached out to hold Nalan Chu’s and Nalan Youxia’s hands.

The sacred Buddhist power had a natural suppressive effect on everything dark and filthy. It appeased their minds and dispelled the fear in their hearts. With that, Nalan Chu and her brother suddenly felt much more relieved.

“Thank you, beautiful elder sister. You are the good person’s wife, aren’t you?” Nalan Youxia giggled.

In this short period of time, the mysterious silly young man firmly believed that Lei Tingchan was Ding Hao’s wife, and it was not the first time for him to say something like that.

Hearing his words, Ding Hao and Lei Tingchan just smiled.

Twenty meters away, a small black snake suddenly appeared in a flash quietly. It was almost invisible in the darkness, but it had a terrible and fierce aura that did not match its tiny body.

As Ding Hao flicked his finger, the little black snake was cut into halves by the sword light and fell to the ground.

To everyone’s surprise, the halves of its body had only been mildly shaken and turned into two smaller black snakes, integrating itself into the darkness and disappearing in an instant.

Ding Hao couldn’t help but acclaim, “It’s a Surviving Species of the Untainted Land. It can actually clone itself.”

However, instead of taking it seriously, he continued to move forward.

He did so because he had faith in his strength. Ding Hao was a little anxious and walked very fast. Finally, they caught up with some people in succession. In this dark space, everyone was vigilant enough, trying to stay away from people they were not familiar with. The experts who came here together were discussing something with each other.

Of course, Ding Hao heard everything they said.
