Supreme Emperor of Swords-Novel

Chapter 827 The Gate to the Immortal Land

“Ding Hao, come to see me.”

She said in a voice that wasn’t sweet and gentle like before. It was a voice from a supreme master of the Human Clan that had sounded many times in the War God square.

Ding Hao was stunned on the spot.

It turned out that... the supreme master of the Human Clan who had been controlling everything secretly was Ding Honglei, this languid noblewoman in front of him. In other words, this young married woman, who looked delicate and soft, was actually at the level of War God?

“Is she the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region?” Ding Hao thought.

Ding Hao only felt that his mind went blank.

How could it be her?

Ding Hao speculated Ding Honglei’s identity tens of millions of times before, and he considered numerous possibilities, but he had never expected that Ding Honglei’s real identity was actually the supreme War God.

This was really a surprise.

It was a great surprise.

On the white tiger seat, Ding Honglei looked at Ding Hao with interest and a trace of cunning and pride in her beautiful eyes. She did not have the majestic and noble presence of a supreme War God at all.

“I see.” Ding Hao smiled bitterly.

“You think I’m the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, right?” Ding Honglei showed a mysterious smile again.

“Well?” Ding Hao felt his mind was not working quickly enough and said, “Isn’t that right?”

Suddenly, Ding Hao was a little uncertain.

Ding Honglei giggled again and said, “Of course not.”

Ding Hao was a little mad. “What is exactly going on?”

Ding Honglei pointed to the seat next to her and said, “Sit down and we can talk about it slowly. It takes a long time to talk about it.”

Ding Hao sat down to listen intently.

“Do you think that there are only Five Human Supremes War Gods and several Demon Gods of the Demon Clan in this world?” Ding Honglei asked with a smile.

Ding Hao nodded.

Not only Qi Qingshan and Song Que but also the others had always told him that the Five Human Supremes War Gods had dominated the fate of the Human Clan. Over the past thousands of years, the Human Clan only had these five War Gods, and they were the only ones who could fight against the Demon Clan.

“In fact, that’s not the case.” Ding Honglei was gradually serious and said, “If there were really only five War Gods in the Human Clan, they would have been eliminated from the Land of Infinity a long time ago, and it would have been impossible for them to fight against the Demon Clan until now. You have to understand that, although the power of War Gods is unimaginable, they can’t destroy the world. Therefore, it was just a rumor that the reason why the Demon Clan did not dare to cross the line to fight against the Human Clan is that they were afraid the God of War of the Human Clan would destroy the Land of Infinity to perish together in a fit of anger.

Ding Hao opened his mouth but did not speak.

These words completely changed Ding Hao’s understanding of the Land of Infinity and the War Gods in the past six years.

“In fact, no matter what realm it is, it will be in a state of peace only by keeping a balance in quantity. Once this balance is broken, it means war and destruction. In the history of the Land of Infinity, the outbreak of every holy war was caused by breaking his balance. Any changes in the number will break this balance. Therefore, once no matter which clan loses a War God or emerges one, a new holy war will break out. The only one reason why there has been no holy war in the Land of Infinity for nearly 10,000 years is that the number of War God in the Human Clan and the Demon Clan is the same.” Ding Honglei said slowly.

Ding Hao was stilled astonished. However, after thinking carefully, he had to admit that Ding Honglei’s words were reasonable. The so-called balance must have something to do with quantity. Only the changes of quantity cause the changes of quality, which had been proven countless times by ancient sages on the earth in his previous life.

He had considered this world to be too simple.

It may be also because ordinary people had no way to get in touch with the circle of god-level masters. Even masters in the peak of the Martial Sage were as weak as ants in front of god-level masters. Therefore, they had no way to know these secrets. The theories of balance that had been circulated in the continent were probably many people’s speculations.

“Well, you want to ask how many god-level masters there are in the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in the Land of Infinity, right?” Ding Honglei looked at Ding Hao with a smile.

Ding Hao nodded.

“The answer is...” Ding Honglei said in a drawling voice, “that both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan have 36 god-level masters.”

Ding Hao was absolutely astounded to hear the number.

Thirty-six?

Each clan had 36 god-level masters. It meant that there were totally 72 supreme god-level masters in the Land of Infinity. This was an incredible number which changed his idea about god-level masters.

In Ding Hao’s mind, god-level masters were as rare as pandas a moment ago, but in the next, they became as abundant as cabbages on the roadside.

“Isn’t a god-level master a little too worthless?” Ding Hao thought.

If those words were not from Ding Honglei’s mouth, Ding Hao would have regarded them as the crazy words from madmen.

Ding Honglei observed Ding Hao’s reaction and smiled with satisfaction, then she continued, “Well, now you think there should be 72 god-level masters on this continent, right?”

Ding Hao felt that his throat was a little dry and said “Isn’t it?”

Ding Honglei laughed again and said, “Of course not. There are not only the Human Clan and the Demon Clan in this world, but also the primeval strange beasts, enormous abyss beasts and the Giant Clan. In other words, in addition to the Human Clan and the Demon Clan, there are another 10 god-level masters in total among those clans with a low population. This is an even number, right? Thanks to this number, the Land of Infinity has been relatively peaceful for nearly ten thousand years.”

Ding Hao suddenly had a headache.

He felt that his cognition of the Land of Infinity in such a long time had been shattered in an instant by Ding Honglei’s words.

He thought he had a good understanding of the world.

However, in fact, what he knew was filtered and was just an illusion.

“Well, you can take your time to digest this information now.” Ding Honglei shook her white and slender feet comfortably and said in a teasing tone, “In fact, you don’t have to feel ashamed of your exaggerated reaction because I was more exaggerated than you when I knew this news.”

Ding Hao took a deep breath and raised his head after a long while. “Why are you telling me these?”

“Because we feel that it is time to let you know these facts.” Ding Honglei said.

“You?” Ding Hao keenly captured this keyword.

Ding Honglei nodded and said, “I just said that there are 36 War Gods in the Human Clan.”

“Do you mean that this is a joint decision of the 36 War Gods of the Human Clan?” Ding Hao asked.

“Of course not.” Ding Honglei shook her head and said, “Although most of the time I hope that more War Gods emerge in the Human Clan, for those few times when we need to make a decision, I hope that there is only one War God in the Human Clan because it is hard to achieve a consensus if there are many people. A part of War God thinks highly of you this time, so they want you to know this.”

Ding Hao nodded to show that he understood.

“Fortunately, every War God will not care too much about these things. Although being in the god level, they can’t say that they already know fate. Therefore, they have their candidates, and we have our candidates. In the end, the truth will tell us who is the destined one.” said Ding Honglei. These words revealed too much information.

Too many things had emerged in Ding Hao’s mind.

“Well, let’s switch to another topic. Do you know why no one has reached the Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years in Land of Infinity, be it the Human Clan, the Deman Clan or other various clans. After all, according to the meridian theories of the martial arts, there must exist the Immortal Realm.”

“Well... I don’t know. Is it because of lack of opportunities and luck?”

“Wrong. All those who are able to enter the god-level Realm are the favorites of this land. However, even some people who have reached the pinnacle of the god-level Realm are unable to make a breakthrough. This problem has plagued countless god-level experts. In the end, they came to a common conclusion.”

“Uh? What is it?” Ding Hao’s curiosity was aroused.

Ding Honglei said word by word, “If you want to become an immortal, you have to enter the immortal land. Otherwise, you can’t become an immortal.”

“The immortal land?” Ding Hao did not expect such a conclusion. He said in surprise, “Does the immortal land really exist in this world?”

“Of course.” Ding Honglei said with certainty. “You should know about the mysterious battle on the Green Wood Cliff of the Divine Central Continent a year ago.”

Ding Hao nodded.

Outsiders didn’t know what had happened on Green Wood Cliff, but one thing they were certain of was that there were energy fluctuations from a battle between god-level experts on Green Wood Cliff. Quite a few god-level experts also appeared. It was like an apocalypse and alarmed all sides, making the two races startled. Later, some people speculated that some god-level masters died in that battle.

Nowadays, the Divine Central Continent had fallen into chaos and battles, and the Green Wood Cliff almost became a forbidden area.

It was certain that the battle at the Green Wood Cliff had completely changed the situation of the continent.

A new holy war seemed to be imminent.

Judging from Ding Honglei’s tone, Ding Hao wondered if the battle at the Green Wood Cliff was related to the immortal land.

“That battle was indeed a battle between god-level experts, and the reason why it broke out was that a gate to the Immortal land was discovered at Green Wood Cliff.” Ding Honglei said.

“The gate leads to the immortal land?” Ding Hao thought.
